it wont be fair if the 58% voters that elected Abiola are not given some of the money that will be shared to Abiola's family.

Hi everyone, please I need a help from people who struggle with stage fright and won. Facing the audience is a very big headache for me, which seems to be very impossible to overcome, so whenever I have to do it, I must take drugs to control my heartbeat, which I want to stop taking now. Please I need advice on on how to easily overcome stage fright without using drugs. Thanks in anticipation.

Autos / The Mercedes Benz Biome. Best Car In The World. by skillet(m): 7:10am On Dec 08, 2017
now it is official! Nigeria heard this first from me...

I just realized that Mercedes-Benz has developed the first car to be grown from seeds. The technology is so amazing that i still feel dizzy reading about it. Please read for yourselves and feel free to google. Permit me to call it the best car in the world. What can top this?

Mercedes Benz Biome car DESIGN2


[url]http://teknikprojektet.se/?p=1675 [/url]


Cars are built by mankind and a lot of different designs has come throughout the years. Now something seriously weird has been discovered by the car company Mercedes. The Mercedes biome car. A car grown out of a seed instead of built on a car line.

So this biome car has a unique design and just the fact that it is grown by itself is extraordinary. It has a dynamic design with a really curvy and smooth body. It has a completely sealed glass roof in the shape of a dome, making you feel like you’re sitting in a warplane. The wheels make you question if this is the future for them. It doesn’t even look like wheels except that they are on the same spot as or cars that we have today. This really is an amazing car.

This car is extremely nature friendly because of its technology that produces oxygen instead of a lot of different chemicals. This car literally has a life and has the car “dies” it will be easy to dispose it and grow a new one.

By the way, this is the first time nairaland is hearing of this invention that was unveiled about 7 years ago. To be quite frank, this is the first time i am hearing of it too and i feel so "thirdworld" right now. And Dangote is proud to be selling Indomie while Mercedes is growing cars. The worst is our politicians.

mods do the needful.

TV/Movies / Five Reasons You Should Have A Career In Nollywood. by skillet(m): 12:14am On Sep 28, 2016
Five reasons you should join Nollywood

1. Job satisfaction. Nollywood movies are usually interesting and contain certain morals. Even movies that are produced just to create laughs and fun also contain moral lessons the producers want to teach. Sometimes the message is obscure or ill delivered but the fact remains that most film makers are in it for the love of the art. Working in an environment where there is so much passion for excellence can give you a huge dose of job satisfaction. As a background talent (or extra), you get to meet and hob nob with stars and talented producers, directors, actors and marketers. Learning to be successful is now up to you. If you have a flair for quick learning, you could rise a lot faster than your peers and begin to earn tangible money.

2. Filling a vacuum. The maxim: “there is always room for improvement” seems to be coined for the arts. There is always space for an entrant into Nollywood. As long as we have people watching our films, we will always be employed and employing. Fact is that the people say they want more. I wish I had some smart empirical study results to back this but I don’t. It’s a street thing. If you felt the pulse on the street, you would see that our vendors have not yet gone out of business like predicted ten years ago. They are still in every street corner, still carrying smoking hot titles with genres ranging from action to romance and epic films. Our music stars are not helping matters for the doomsday prophets as they are churning out quality material daily. So, there is always space for you in Nollywood when you finally decide to join us.

3. Most versatile employer. Insiders in the movie and music industry in Nigeria (Nollywood) like to joke that we are the most versatile employers of labour in the economy. Poor educational background, lack of qualifications, old age, etc are not disqualifying factors for any would be entrant. It is not uncommon for a fifty year old retiree to walk up to us in the Actors Guild office in the town I reside and request for a form to join Nollywood.

4. The pay is good. The pay in Nollywood is actually very good. Average pay for a background talent is about two thousand naira per scene. Applying one’s self as more than an ordinary background talent will increase your earnings. Combining a day job or side job with a career in the movie/music industry is so easy; that it has become sort of a norm at least till entertainment begins to pay all the bills. Getting a job as a production assistant, costumier or makeup artist, camera man or photographer on a movie set, is relatively very easy because the industry always seeks new talents to use. The more a particular talent is in demand, the better the rate of pay for the talent in question.

5. Self-betterment. A job in Nollywood gives an individual one of the best chances of self-betterment. Every day, my job throws new and interesting challenges my way. Surmounting those challenges always leave me better equipped to deal with similar issues when they occur in other situations. Many actors have learnt self-defense techniques because their characters in a movie knew self-defense. That is just an example; many others abound.

In conclusion, if the five reasons given above do not make you yearn for a job in Nollywood then maybe your day job has better perks, but if the reverse is the case, then let us help you enter the world of make believe. Welcome to Nollywood.

Pls my fellow nairalanders, I have been carrying out a research for a couple of weeks now and it seems the ibo tribe has the least amount of crimes attributed to them. Take a look at this story and see how many northerners and westerners and easteners. Northerners dominate crime nowadays.
