You want to apply to investment banking job in JPmorgan competing with people with CFA, MBA from top schools??

Lmao

Maybe you should check the LinkedIn profile of JPmorgan investment bankers and see their qualifications

You think na by motivational speaker ??

More sources for you below

This is CFA website … the kingmakers of investment banking certifications

https://www.cfainstitute.org/programs/cfa-program/careers
You think na by motivational speaker got me rolling cheesy

This internet no good o. One person will write article and deceive others. If for anything at all, it's even tougher now than before because having a degree or second degree is no longer a big deal. The competition is so high that people are racking qualifications and education and still finding it tough but they say you only need skills. I laugh in Spanish. You wan manage people money with only skills? Okay na grin

You and your fellow "educated" musketeers are clowns, and not even the good type, as you routinely fail to answer my questions yet expect me to play your silly games.

This is one of the reasons I've always had mistrusts for "academics" as you people will die on theory and will always run away from practical.

What is difficult in answering my questions and being honest? Do you have a background in the financial sector and have you ever worked in the UK before?


I have given examples and you people have dishonestly claimed it is outliers, so why try again?

Anyway, this is not for you, but for any serious individual who believes in their God given ability and professional skills ( also it strongly helps of you are a citizen or have the right to work in that country).

Please this is directly from the CEO of one the companies this dishonest fella mentioned earlier, Jamie Dimon, current CEO of JPMorganChase, ( usually regarded as the biggest bank in the world) and if you are in the financial world like I use to be, this is a man worth following.

You can take from his comments what you will, I probably sent him a text and insisted he change his recruitment policies so I could win the internet.

My friend, all you need to do is go to that JP Morgan's website, check their board of directors and read their profiles. You'll know that skills are not enough. For a sector that is heavily regulated, you wan undermine degree? Okay na cheesy
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Guardiola & Ancelotti Reject Italian Head Coach Role; Pirlo To Be Announced by SixSeven: 10:32pm On Jul 24
pak:
I love Pirlo to the bone but I am not sure this is the rght direction for the Azzurris.
They need a trusted hand and not experiments.

The last time Italia played at the world cup was 2014 and the last time they made it to the knockout stage was 2006 when they won. In 20 years, powerhouse Italy has never played world cup knockout football.

I feel for Italian soccer though, they face a cultural challenge. The traditional cattenacio (bolt the door) that Itaky excelled in is considered outdated. Their coaches and players are forced to play modern soccer, which does not really align with their philosophy
. I agree with you but Andrea Pirlo won the 2006 FIFA World Cup as a star player for Italy. He won the individual match award three times during the tournament, more than any other player, including the opening match against Ghana, the semi-final against Germany, and the final against France.

And that France today is coached by the fellow contestant in the final, Zidane.

Someone needs to tell Atiku to read the room. When he worked with Tinubu, Amaechi and co to bring down Jonathan, what was that about? Who benefitted? Buhari, a Northerner. Who is your VP candidate for 2027? Amaechi. After destroying your PDP and bringing APC to us, you now want us to forgive you for the mistake.

Mr Atiku, the sentiment in the southern part of Nigeria right now is that you are not a candidate and you are not serious for contesting when the PDP zoning agreement of turn by turn has been embraced by all. The only people who talk about your candidacy are your people but no one is buying Atiku for 2027.

Family › Re: They Became Best Friends – Then Discovered They Were Brother And Sister by SixSeven: 8:02pm On Jul 24
Is this the story of Blind Trust I posted this week?

I was mistaken. It was Love and Oath (2002) where Ramsey Nouah and Genevieve Nnaji played childhood, secondary school, and university sweethearts and take a strict blood oath to bind themselves together forever.

They get married, but a tragic curse strikes: every child they birth dies within the first month. They later discover they are actually related (from the same kindred), making their union an abomination.

Because they refuse to end the marriage and break the oath, the gods torment them until Genevieve's character passes away.

expert234:
But Messi means fraud. Don't you know
The surname "Messi" has Italian roots and is an occupational name. It comes from the Italian word messo, which means "messenger," "envoy," or "herald."

While most people associate the name strictly with the legendary Argentine footballer Lionel Messi, the surname itself has deep Italian roots that connect directly back to the Latin word missus, meaning the one sent. It originally described a person whose job was to deliver official messages or carry news.

So $150,000 was 30,000,000 naira in 2015. That is 200 naira to a dollar. What a mess we are in today, thanks to evil APC and their evil geniuses.
I didn't even pay attention to that part but it's just about 10 years ago

That $150,000 (worth ₦30,000,000 in 2015) is equivalent to about $212,000 today based on US inflation, which would equal roughly ₦290 million at today's official exchange rate of ~₦1,370 per dollar

Nice captures from Tiktok, but the OP question was "do you see them celebrating or valuing it like we do in Nigeria".

None of the celebrations I watched was over the top, some had context (like the girl who got her first before 30 or the one that failed some GCSEs and A-level s) and some are not even the definition of "white people" (the very first tik tok you droped).
They cannot celebrate it the way we do. I was just responding to Gerrard59's comment about the celebration being a big deal for the Anglophones but I counter that with you only being familiar with a culture you read or understand. In the videos I put there, I deliberately omitted immigrants, though there were Asians in the first and last.

If I show you Italian videos, it will be a waste because we don't understand their language and that's not the purpose of communication. In fact, some of them question the 110 e lode (1st class equivalent) today since everyone gets it. But that does not mean it is not recognized by non-English countries and speakers. The way they celebrate is cultural and you must also understand history too. Our access to western education is not the same for those who were used to it. You see how some of them made it simple while some of them wrote a story. If you asked me this question 16 years ago, I may have struggled to give you proof but thank God for Tiktok. You also need to be aware that some of these countries are more conservative than we are so they won't put their personal information on the internet, that's why I told him to go to LinkedIn, that's the website for professional people and anyone taking their career seriously. Even if you go to LinkedIn, you are likely to see only content in the language you understand.

Lastly, I don't need a validation from any white person but if I wanted to take him to the cleaners, I will tell him to list the western countries and I will give you proof that they celebrate success. People in US celebrate admission offers into top schools abroad but we do not do that here. The gaokao is China's crazy exam but we talk about JAMB or UTME or whatever it's called now. There's always difference in cultures. Maybe this topic is a learning point for some of us that our worldview is not the only view, we can always learn and broaden our horizon.

The president with so much baggage. I remember when we wanted to make public asset declaration a trend but it died after Buhari's 2015 show.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGsfxLM0Nfk

President Muhammadu Buhari officially submitted his asset declaration forms to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) in May 2019 for his second term, but unlike in 2015, he chose not to publicly release the specific breakdown of his assets. In 2015, he declared ₦30 million ($150,000) in his sole bank account, 5 houses, 2 mud dwellings, an orchard, 270 head of cattle, 25 sheep, 5 horses, and shares in 3 firms.

Public asset declaration was a highly celebrated anti-corruption trend in Nigeria, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) effectively killed its momentum. In 2007, former President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua broke political tradition by publicly releasing a highly detailed list of his assets and net worth. This established a standard that public officers should be transparent to earn citizens' trust. During the 2015 presidential campaign, the APC heavily rode on this trend. Muhammadu Buhari and the APC promised that all their top elected officials would publicly declare their assets to prove their anti-graft stance. Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo initially honoured this by making their asset profiles fully public in September 2015.

We always had autisim with us. It's just that the people with the thing were either ostracised, chased out or called mad people, or even murdered. Or considered very eccentric. Or considered strange. It's just that we didn't have a name for it. Add the fact that it is a spectrum. You can have someone who is not able to speak and needs help of caregivers, and then you can have someone who is normal, but finds most smells, and noise very very annoying. Autistic people both. (It's why it is called a specturm...there is no one size fits all descriptor).

As civilization has increased, so also the horror towards such things as putting people in the evil forest to die..., add population increase (in 1977, we was 3.9 bn , now we are over 8 billion, and improvement in diagonsis and medical science, and that's why we have an increase.

As for cause...mix of genetics, environment and so forth
We had children we didn't understand but you can't tell me the rate today is the same as that time. How many do you remember in your childhood vs today?

Having an autistic child requires constant parenting and monitoring. It's not easy. I still don't understand this spike we had in autism and they are unable to tell us what causes it.


https://www.tiktok.com/video/7569317120467569942

Some people say they went many years undiagnosed and any small thing now too is either autism, ADHD or mental health so we have even become more confused than what we need. Everyone wants to be a victim of something or the other and if we go the old school way, they say it is too aggressive and inhumane but what is happening today? Are we creating a care industry for special needs children? There was a talk about pregnant women taking Tylenol and pain relief linked to autism.


https://www.tiktok.com/video/7553711445603552542

See eh, there's a lot they are not telling us today and women are not giving birth as younger as they should in the past. Women are now waiting till late 30s to 40s.

This one believes it's screen time 👇

https://www.tiktok.com/video/7554051742044785942

My own is that if we had undiagnosed autism during our time, how did those children fit? It's not excessive force because the sight of an isolated autistic child isn't pretty. Why are our Naija women increasingly having this abroad? Has anyone noticed that? I don't know.... undecided

Romance › Re: Man Caught His Wife With A Love Machine (Video) by SixSeven: 4:53pm On Jul 23
SixSeven:
I am personally not a fan of anything unnatural but why I suggested the toy was because while it is important to satisfy her, you cannot give what you don't have or let me put it this way, you can't give more than you can supply to her and if she's not satisfied with your last comment above, then it's not really you. The toys are addictive and no man can match that machine power, he will simply die. For example you say she comes but you are still worried about that look. Could it just be you over analyzing the look? Are you projecting fear? Are you responsible for her fantasy? If a man imagines a woman with big bum bum and his wife doesn't have it, he will blame her when he should own up to his unrealistic fantasy. See, I understand your topic and I know men go through it. It's funny because initially, the virgin women are not interested in sex and the child birth makes it worse, then all of a sudden they start to want it more especially around their 30s and I am only writing from personal research and experience. Female libido and sexual satisfaction can fluctuate and often increase with age. Many women have lower orgasm frequency and sexual satisfaction early in sexual life, especially at first intercourse, compared with men. This is well-documented in sex research and contributes to the idea that early sexual experiences can be less pleasurable. With experience, she wants to explore more. Studies attribute this to better sexual knowledge and confidence, less fear, shame, or pain (she's already used to the ritual), more stable partner (you are in a marriage) and less anxiety about pregnancies. The missing part is communication here. It's not how big your tool is, it's how you use it to make her feel wholesome. The same women who can take different horse power will complain that the thing is too big. You are not responsible for her fantasy but I believe she deserves wholesome sex but if you are not sure and it's just by the look, I think it's all in your head.

What's funny about Muslims and Christians fighting is how someone can fight another person for fighting Christ. Jesus is (son of) God to Christians and a Prophet to Muslims, going by this logic, it is sinful for Muslims to attack Christians over their faith since their Quran calls Christians people of the book. Color me surprised is that 100 years ago these people could never have fought over this concept in 1926 Nigeria. The symbols wouldn't have meant much to them. Therfore Muslims fighting Christians and Christians fighting Muslims in Nigeria is epic foolishness. Religion has been exploited in this part of the world to divide us, QED.
