Yes there are people who get jobs based on merit.

For instance, I shake my head when I see people struggle for jobs in government agencies like FIRS or FRSC.

I have family members who got jobs there without stress because they have the connection.

Sometimes they do secret recruitment, Even when they publish, it's just to fulfill righteousness.

About the 1st bolded...I consider myself very VERY fortunate to have gotten all my jobs and scholarships on merit.
About the 2nd bolded...You should get yourself into one of those.

Hello,

I recently acquired an Xbox One S 1TB. It came with FIFA 17 and Forza Horizon 3, which I updated last night.

I'm seeking recommendations for other games/apps/services to use on the device. And maybe online friends/communities to connect with.
Internet is not a problem (I have very fast, unlimited 100Mbps).

I have a voucher for Xbox Live Gold, but I haven't activated it yet. I'm not yet sure of it's validity period.

Thanks.

I think lalasticlala can also read this and add to his knowledge of snake

This is interesting.

Thanks.

Joavid:
who told u it's long distance?

Bride price in my place isn't monetary. and we're cheap in a way.
My people are self content.

Oh, really? Fill me in...

Joavid:
Don't worry. I don't want a church wedding.

registry would do. but traditional wedding is important

hahahaha. But I don't do long-distance dating na.

And while I'm ok with traditional marriage customs, I'm not going to pay bride price on any woman. I believe that's one custom that desperately needs to end, because it heavily contributes to patriarchy and the ridiculous mentality that so many men have over their wives.

Or if fiancee is ok with the custom, then she has to pay the brideprice herself. I'm not 'buying' a wife.

I am an atheist humanist.

hahn:
Hahaha. I remember once during one show on 93.7 with Stephen with the ph, he said something about "what would god do?" when someone was talking about her cheating spouse and I called and said, "why will you use god as an example knowing fully well that he murdered and killed lots of people in the bible" also stating that god is not the right role model to use for such a situation unless he was expecting the woman to burn up her cheating husband since god created hell to burn people who didn't love him. ANd so on and so forth. Lol

Nice one!!! +1

Born2Freak:
In this country, marriage for an atheist is a difficult thing. 90% of the available single ladies and gentlemen are religious. To be precise, the religious people would mostly be either christians or muslims.

I for one, do not want to get married in a church. Who has time for couple's counselling. Who has time to waste in 2 hours sermon about marriage?

Also, for a woman, I do not want to be beaten to death by an angry fiancee over not going to their church or mosque.


Life is short.

I feel you. I'm Nigerian, male and open/vocal atheist. I'd prefer to marry a Nigerian woman but all the good options I've come across are all theists and don't wanna marry an atheist, even though they openly fornicate and do other sins with me o. lol

The matter tire me.

It's almost a year since this thread.

Hope you finished NYSC in a good way? @Ibogirl1

NExt time, add Yakubu Aiyegbeni

Oh that's interesting. What's the main criticism?
I agree everyone in the world cannot be made to fit into a box of 16 but overall I found it quite accurate.

The test is accurate for me too, and I'm a proponent. It makes a lot more sense than astrology/zodiac (which I consider very silly).

Some criticisms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers%E2%80%93Briggs_Type_Indicator#Criticism

ephi123:
Very interesting thread.

For those still wondering where they sit on the spectrum, you can take a free test below, it was scarily accurate, lol.

I've done this test several times. I'm INTJ.

However, this Myer-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) theory has been severely criticized by many expert psychologists.

I'm an introvert and I relate to the post and most comments.
Still, I've managed to get two very good jobs, purely by merit. I consider myself very fortunate.
I've always hated interviews and still do (especially as I have a stutter), but I've done enough of them that I no longer fear them. The key is to practice repeatedly, and always remain calm.

Modern society is now controlled by extroverts. The Sanguins and Cholerics.

As an introvert, it's important to learn how to network and socialize, or at least PRETEND (which is what I did/do). But it's still hard. Even in my job, the pressure to be outgoing and network and socialize and 'kiss-ass' is still strong, and can be overwhelming.

I'm still playing PES 2017 on my main (more powerful) laptop (3 years old). It's i7 (4th gen) with GeForce 750M graphics card.

On my older laptop which is almost 5 years old (i3, Integrated Intel graphics, 8GB) I finished playing Driver San Francisco, a 2011 game.
I recently got a fairly-used Logitech Driving Force GT wheel, which I'm now using to play the restarted.

I've been meaning to get an AIO gaming PC for many months now, but I've been going through some financial struggles which have prevented me. But it's still in my 2017 plan. The first game I'll play when I get it will be Forza Horizon 3.

Mckandre:

LMFAO

I'm just laughing at your handle "Brasstop"

Isn't it apt? "BRAS STOP!!! Stop the Bras!!!"

My dream first car is a Tesla Model S.

I really don't want to buy a petrol/diesel/hybrid car.

Joavid:
Exactly!

I experienced it years ago but not anymore. I use to be very religious then, so I thought witches were pressing me - which is the common belief among Christians.

Now I know better.

:* :* :* for this.

*applause*

Luckygurl:
What direction is that if I may ask?

You can't actually put a complete stop to people sending in private messages on social media accounts.
It's up to you to seive out the ones you'd like to reply and the ones you wouldn't bat an eyelid ignoring.
It doesn't necessarily cut out as you been arrogant or a snub, it's just you been in control of the persons you let close, so far you're sure your reasons are genuine.


On a flip side, I've followed your posts for a while and I feel it's that ego of been associated with someone who's based outside the country that makes alot of people want to reach out. They only end up putting you off.

I could be wrong tho with that assumption.
Spacyzuma! Do you experience the aforementioned?
If yes, how do you handle it?
You could give the op some tips

I can relate to it. And not not just on facebook.
Twitter, nairaland, bbm, whatsapp... I frequently have people vying for my attention, and more.

I respond to most, but I usually don't encourage those whose demands are not important to me.

ibkabiola:
Pls guys...help me. I copied the pes 2017 to my laptop.. I could run it without even installing it. i guessed it coz I have the 2016, now am trying to load PTE patch and its not working..the patch will install but nothing changed.

In this case, I'll suggest just uninstall the patches and don't bother installing them. Just run the game the way you copied it.
