My friend, Adams, was quite happy when he got a job as a Warehouse Manager. The pay was sure an upgrade on his previous salary.

However, couple of months into the job and Adams started complaining he is not being paid well by his company. He discovers he earns less compared to other managers, even compared to those with less important portfolios. One of his strongest arguments has been that he is not being well enough in contrast to the value of goods he manages (this could run into an average of 20million naira monthly). Meanwhile, he is also well involved in the company's logistics activities.

My own question is this: should warehouse managers be ever paid based on the value of goods they administer? Or how do you think the salaries of warehouse managers should be scaled?

Thank you for your honest contributions.

New brand identity? You could have done better by adding an image of such identity.

The rule can sure be created , but maybe with a lil' positive twist to it. We can't rule out honest request for donations and investments from God-fearing nairalanders say because of the rampant, nefarious activities of these scammers.

Rather than have the rule in its entirety, I believe Nairaland mods can put up avenues, for example email addresses, that solicitors can forward their requests to. These requests are in turn verified for authenticity and importance before they are either posted by the mods on behalf of the Nairaland soliciting for such help or that member is notified of the approval of his 'pending post' and subsequent permission to submit the post.

Could you please share your favourite scene.

INTROVERT:
my best movie

Just finished watching this inspirational movie once again and thought I could share some inspirational and educational quotes from the movie. Please enjoy!

"Ever since we were young, we believed that life was a race. If we didn't run fast enough, we would be trampled and overtaken. Man, even to be born, we had to race 300 million sperm." - Farhan.


"A cuckoo bird never makes its own nest. She lays eggs on other birds nests. And when her babies come to the world, what do they do first? They kick out the other eggs from the nest. Competition over. Their life begins with murder. That's nature. Compete. Or die." - Virus.



"Remember - Life is a race. If you don't run fast enough, someone will overtake you and move faster." - Virus.


Machine Class Professor: Why are you back?
Rancho: Sir, I forgot to take something...
Machine Class Professor: What?
Rancho: Instruments that record, analyse, summarise, organise, debate and explain information; that are illustrated, non-illustrated, hardbound, paperback, jacketed, non-jacketed; with foreword, introduction, table of contents, index; that are indented for the enlightenment, understanding, enrichment, enhancement and education of the human brain through sensory route of vision - sometimes touch.
Machine Class Professor: [confused] What are you trying to say?
Rancho: Books sir! I forgot to take my books.
Machine Class Professor: Couldn't you just say that simply?
Rancho: I tried sometime before, but you didn't like it the simple way, Sir.


"There was knowledge everywhere. Go get it from anywhere you can." - Rancho.


"Mr. Lobo, my son died falling off of a train on a Sunday afternoon. On Monday morning, Viru Shastrabhuddhe gave a lecture here. So don't tell me that nonsense. I can only give you sympathy. Not an extension." - Virus.


Rancho: That day I understood that this heart scares easily. You have to trick it, however big the problem is. Tell your heart, ‘aal izz well, aal izz well.’
Raju: Does that solve the problem?
Rancho: No, but you gain courage to face it.


Give me some sunshine,
Give me some rain,
Give me another chance,
I wanna grow up once again...
- Joy Lobo.


"Sir! What Number 1, sir? Here we don't talk about new ideas. Or about new inventions! We only talk about getting good grades, or a good job in the USA. We don't gain any knowledge here, Sir. They only teach us how to bring back good grades here." - Rancho.


"And this is a college, not a pressure cooker! The lion in a circus learns that he needs to sit on the chair if his owner has a whip in his hand. But that lion is called well-trained, not well-educated." - Rancho.


"Never study to be successful, study for self efficiency. Don’t run behind success. Follow behind excellence, success will come all way behind you.” - Rancho.

"We learned something about human behavior that day. If your friend fails, you feel bad. But if your friend comes in first, you feel worse." - Farhan.


"Today my respect for that idiot shot up. Most of us went to college just for a degree. No degree meant no plum job, no pretty wife, no credit card, no social status. But none of this mattered to him, he was in college for the joy of learning, he never cared if he was first or last." - Farhan.


"Who was the first man to step on the moon? Neil Armstrong obviously. We all know that, but who was the second man? Don't waste your time. It's not important. Nobody ever remembers the man who came in second." - Virus.


"Do you know why I come first? Why? Because I'm in love with machines. Engineering is my passion!" - Rancho.


"Dude, quit engineering and become a wildlife photographer! Do something that you have talent for. If Lata Mangeshkar's (singer) father told her to become a fast bowler. Or if Sachin Tendulkar's (Cricketer) father told him to be a singer. Imagine where they'd be today. Do you understand what I'm saying? Idiot. He loves animals but he's marrying machines!" - Rancho.


"Dude, if you fear the future so much, how can you live? And how can you focus on today? I've got strange friends, Man. One of them is living in fear, and the other one is not living at all!" - Rancho.


"But you be whatever your heart tells you to. And if he scares you too much. Keep a hand over your heart and say, "AAL IZZ WELL!" - Rancho.


"Whatever you enjoy doing, make that your profession. Then work won’t seem to be work, but a game." - Farhan quote Rancho.


"If I become a photographer? I'll just earn less, right? My home will be small, my car will be small. But, dad, I will be happy! I will be really happy. Whatever I do, I'll be doing it from my heart." - Farhan.


"Sir, I have learnt to stand up on my feet after having broken both my legs. This attitude has come with great difficulty. No sir, I can't. You may keep your job, and let me keep my attitude." - Raju.


"Everyone turns into a yes-man to get the job". - Recruiter.


"If I pass, it'll be because of my own ability. Otherwise it's okay if I fail." - Raju.


"You've got a solid kick. Are you going to be a footballer or what? Become. Become whatever your heart wants." - Virus.


"Children, achieve excellence. Because then success will chase you!" - Rancho.



"Pursue excellence, and success will follow, pants down. " - Rancho.

The guy ain't worth your hard-earned money in that manner. Rather invest that money sponsoring him to watch live arsenal matches, perhaps he'd learn what it means to be a true fan.

destinysaid:
;Dstill grieving over yesterdays draw, west ham, please teach these goners humility

I'm sure you'd agree with me that cockiness has never been part of a true Arsenal fan. We could sure be proud and bold, but never to be too full of ourselves.

stephen2004u:
I hate Benzema but love Arsenal... COYG.. In Arsene I trust

Just found an accomplice. I've never really loved or admired Benzima. Always seen him as a fat, lazy CF waiting to turn near goals into goals. But with all these hypes, left, right and centre, I'm beginning to covet the guy for arsenal. His 188/87 for Madrid is really admirable. And if Wenger confirms he's good for us, then he's good.

Found this on LinkedIn. So I thought I could share, and help this 'poor' lady."

I'm raising £37,195 to pay for all fees and projected costs (Tuition fee, Course fee, and living costs) associated with attending the University of Oxford to study for MSc. Evidence-Based Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation

Donate to Student here: http:///9vI0ch


About Me
I am Christiana Oluwatoyin Onabola. Remarkably enough, my life has been forged by courage, adventure and hard work. I have a strong academic record and have won laurels and left brilliant footprints in the sand of each stage of my education. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Lagos, in Nigeria, and bagged a cumulative grade point average of 4.11. Having secured a competitive place on the MSc. Evidence-Based Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation program, (OSS I.D 834642) , beginning in October 2015 at the University of Oxford, and accepted at Wolfson College of the University, the probability of fulfilling the requisite financial conditions sufficient for confirmation of my offer and enrollment by August 1st, 2015, is at the moment nil. Unfortunately, I do not hold a Scholarship to study at the University of Oxford. Also, my department has been unable to help despite describing my application as ‘excellent and of commendable standard.’ I am an ‘overseas’ student and the cost of studying in Oxford is as exorbitant as invaluable. Neither my family nor I can foot the bills. Your contributions towards the fulfillment of this dream will give me a degree of financial security and allow me to make good progress with my studies.

Why am I Opting for this Course?
I currently work on the DFID-funded Partnership for Transforming Health Systems II (PATHS2) program in Nigeria as a Monitoring and Evaluation Consultant. My background in Pharmacy has helped to focus my passion towards Public Health. I have over five years of experience in research, monitoring and evaluation of reproductive health programmes with expertise in data management, use of DHIS2 database for data collation, research and gap analysis. I have overtime developed technical capacities monitoring and evaluating the grassroots performance of maternal health program indicators for scale-up and quality improvement in program designs.

My decision to opt for the MSc. Evidence-Based Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation was never a difficult one. Against the background of my professional experiences in working on a program framework, I understand how a lack of evidence to support an intervention can be a cog in the wheel of arriving at what policies result in better development outcomes. I also adhere to the school of thought that development aids donors want their resources managed effectively for the good of a pre-conceived impact, and the funds not invested in projects outside what was pre-programmed. From comparative statistics of development indicators, there is no gainsaying that big aid programs to Africa and, especially, Nigeria, are not delivering to the letter. How then do we measure impact? How do we generate ethical evidence to determine if an intervention is making any difference at all? What data will we collect? What instruments will we use? The opportunity to proffer answers to these pulsating evaluation questions and broaden my knowledge attracts me to opting for this course in ‘MSc. Evidence-Based Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation’ at the University of Oxford.

The course has an interdisciplinary and international development prospective with emphasis on evaluating interventions and policies, and how to make the biggest possible impact that will make sense to development donors and policymakers. I am interested in the advanced study of evidence-based strengthening of health systems with an application to social interventions and policy evaluation and challenges in applying and disseminating research into practice and policy.

In the light of my voracious yearning for learning, a can-do spirit, multitasking, time management and team work attitude, I am confident that I am able to successfully complete my program of study. I am enthusiastic about the challenge to attend the University of Oxford. I could think of no better place to study. The institution, no exaggeration, has carved a name in stone for itself as one offering cutting-edge research and a dynamic educational experience.

How will I Apply Learning Outcomes from this Course?
Following the Evidence-Based Social Intervention pathway, with a particular interest in randomized evaluation methodology in social intervention research in the arena of population health, I believe I can contribute significantly to healthcare interventions in Africa and help in achieving desired outcomes and long-term impact in target populations. My time on this program at Oxford will provide a lens through which I can view and systematically review development interventions and donor-aided programs, ask better questions around challenges in improving program performance and outcomes in specific settings or populations. This, I believe, is the waterfront of constructing evidence to support policy change or scale up and will greatly improve development aids to Africa as well as their overall impact on targeted populations. As an aspiring Development Researcher and Technical Advisor in the arena of Impact Evaluation for health sector interventions, my immediate plans are to study for a DPhil in Social Intervention at the University of Oxford, work in collaboration with academia and consult for local or devolved government and people in the third sector, including local charities and international aids programs. My longer-term career objective is to work in Nigeria, in the arena of health systems strengthening, with focus on helping governments and development aid donors improve the effectiveness of their programs and policies by piloting and scaling up evidence-based monitoring and evaluation modalities that deliver

Seun, Lalasticlala abeg com help this student o!

Have you ever mocked a potential future employer on social media? Well now might be the time to delete it.

Because footballer Julio Rey has seen a dream transfer to Spanish club Deportivo La Coruna collapse – after they discovered he abuse them on Twitter three years ago.

Deportivo announced the signing of Rey from Arosa SC over the weekend, but have since issued a statement saying they have cancelled the move at the last minute after discovering the tweet.

Rey apparently posted ‘puta Depor’ – translated as ‘f**k Depor’ – on Twitter after a match in 2012, and it was discovered by Deportivo staff who monitor the club’s players and future signings online.

In a statement on their website, the club say they took the decision to cancel Rey’s move after deciding he wouldn’t respect the shirt.

Deportivo's official statement of Julio Rey
‘Deportivo, who announced the signing of Julio Rey this week, has decided not to complete the deal after finding unfortunate comments made by the player on a personal profile online,’ the statement read.

‘Deportivo understands that a player should wear the blue and white shirt must be an example of sportsmanship, have respect for opponents, commitment and positive sentiment towards the Depor , its colors, its shield and the values that the institution represents.’


Rey is yet to give his side of the story, but has deleted his Twitter account will no doubt feel pretty stupid about his social media antics now.

What do you think? Is Deportivo's decision harsh or understandable?

Hope6289:
When I finished my NYSC three years ago, I was so sure I was going to get a big job after. I was a fresh graduate with high aspirations. I didn't know I was going to go through the painful experience of job hunting. I wrote 14 aptitude tests, had 5 job interviews, I travelled a lot, spending money to write those tests, my heart was broken many times when I didn't get any feedback. Most times the positions were given to people who had 'leg'. I was determined not to keep staying at home so I went to teach in a Primary school. It was plenty stress & little pay but it was something. With my friends getting jobs, I felt stuck and depressed. Today God has blessed me with a verrrrrrry good job, I'm still so dazed I can't believe it. Just want to encourage the job seekers out there, don't give up, keep trusting God and applying. You don't know which one would click. God bless y'all

Congratulations
