Note well
1. There is no course that is a waste to any one who has a vision but a man who has no vision, even after studying medicine has wasted his time. The word course simply means a path. So the wquestion is your destination(goal) first before the path(course)
“Give me a stock clerk with a goal and I'll give you a man who will make history. Give me a man with no goals and I'll give you a stock clerk.” Penney, J. C.

2. Nuture by Nature: build your career according to what u do naturally without effort, apart from the fact that you will enjoy the course and your eventual career, you will live longer following your passion than trying to satisfy society by living a fake life. Life is not all about money. There are six ingredients of success and 'financial freedom' is only one of them. Did you consider peace of mind, personal fulfillment, etc.

*PDude that is about to comment after me is a medical doctor for instance but spends all his time on Nairaland-that is career misfit. *

3. Your degree is not just to get a job: I understand that many of us go to school in other to get a better job, but that is the goal of a man with no vision. JOB simply means Just Over Broke. The richest and happiest ones are not following the norm,they follow a place where there seems to be no road and leave a path

Anyway watch out for my soon to be launched 3 volume-book, "Courses & Careers-An Encyclopaedic Approach" it will answer most career challenges in Africa

We call this condition Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)

Alhaji Dokubo its better u choose Islamabad, you will find more scary looking, blood tasty fellows like u

Anyone who calls Pst David Ogbueli a prosperity preacher either has not listened to him or does not understand the balance of the Gospel. Prosperity is part of the Gospel like the OP rightly pointed out it becomes a problem when it becomes the Focus instead of a fringe benefit.

Nice innovation

An incident transpired when Muhammad Ali’s daughters arrived at his home wearing clothes that were quite revealing.
Here is the story as told by one of his daughters:
“When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my younger sister, Laila, and me up to my father’s suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to scare us. We exchanged many hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day.
My father took a good look at us. Then he sat me down on his lap and said something that I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, “Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to.
Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected.
Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell.
Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You've got to work hard to get to them.”
He looked at me with serious eyes. “Your body is sacred. You’re far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too.”


From the book: More Than A Hero: Muhammad Ali's Life Lessons Through His Daughter's Eyes.

It is the devil that came to steal kill and destroy but Jesus came to give life

Now Somebody asks, "why did God allow it?" Anyway God did not allow it man allowed it. God has willed the earth to man(Psalms 115:16) and does not interfer except he is invited(through prayer); He has also given us authority over sicknesses and diseases to bind all their activities. The truth is that the Bible says that God has given unto us everything that pertains to life and godliness( 2 Peter 1: 3) so He has given us all the tool we need to live a healthy life.

Most sicknesses are spiritually induced, so wielding the Word of God in the Bible will be a great shield against it

MayD never try to Outshine the Masters is an innocent advice written in the 48 laws of Power. Go and humble yourself and ask 4 forgiveness who is right notwithstanding

Zico0: thats my birthday too* make we hang out that day guy

I'm in Lagos, somewhere in my mid 30s, single, and seriously born again. So if you still think we can hang out PM me

It is called media hype

Saharareporters does not carry this type of news. If they hear he is in comma or dead, then its worth reporting. Having operation base in the US is the problem-they are learning from CNN. If there are no disasters CNN wouldve closed since

What do people gain in relieving others of a life that God gave them. Anyway, it is those of us over here that weep; if they are truly saved, these men have only hastened their answer to "the call to glory"

And if there is any new year resolution to make, I advice it will be to LIVE READY because you don't know the hour you will answer the divine call. Remember it is appointed unto men to die and after death JUDGMENT.

13-01-13 is my birthday. What an interesting fact

chuckcy: mini laptop is around 35k Bro

Fairly used mini laptop is between 32-35k. Hearing it can go for 15k and going for it is not criminal enough to crucify the bidder. Many people outside Lagos actually think that Lagos have some wonder markets dt few residents know

I just finished watching "the figurine"bfor the first time b4 I stumbled over this thread. I don't know whether its a coincidence or the Araromire at work. Well the movie was interesting from the beginning but at the end I felt I wasted my productive time. Yes! I like movies that makes u keep thinking even after its ended but definitely not Figurine. OP your sence of humour is far more creative than the movie

sholay2011: OMG! My thread got to the FP! This is a new year gift for me! I am very grateful for this, mods. I also thank my parents who have been in support of my nairaland endeavours, through thick and thin; God bless.

My friends who have always encouraged to keep creating topics- both meaningful and the less meaningful ones that with the hope of one getting to front page one day.

Finally, I thank my darling who whispered to me that 2013 is my year of excellence. It's nice that the excellence starts from here

Happy New Year

acidtalk: Will reveal the source later.

So reveal the source now. Its 2013

Since I followed this thread from the former one, this' my first time to comment becos I want to rewrite the story with the missing link:

Before the day Chibuzor scheduld to pay Donziko back he called Donziko privately for a face to face meeting; after which he was kidnapped and all efforts to get himm proved abortive wt stories of poor village network. But when the search and inquisitivity intensifies, kidnapped Donziko was dragged out of hostage and offered a phone to log into his Nland account while another person doctors what is written. That guy is still incommunicado till the heat goes down

Now GboladePaul was also traced and the moment he was kidnapped, Chibuzor started bragging asking 4 a meeting which he knows Gbolade will not respond. Then his accomplices came wt distraction tekniks...

Are the pieces fitting together now? Abeg if no be true afterwards forget am but Wale Adenuga can copy without copyright infringement sha

So then, what's the purpose 4 rebranding?

The mistake some people make is to think of CAN as a "Church". Far from that, CAN is a political arm of the christian body meant to protect the interest of christians.

Another misconception is that men of God should distance themselves from their leaders. So some criticize Pst Adeboye for praying for the president. So they prefer the president fraternizes with occultic men.

The Jesus we follow was labeled a friend of sinners,becos He was wining and dinning with them though He made sure he was the one influencing them and not the other way round:so all u holier than thou preachers may really not be following Christ.

Most paid indeed, yet Ngozi Nwosu is sick needs only 6million to solve her problem and they are asking the public for help. Most of their people have died this year just 4 inability to pay for proper medical attention. How cld these once give back to society when they can not even give to one of their own. Their lives are fake make believes and threads like this make our youths to aspire to this emptiness called celebrity. Selah

I still maintain that the posting of the superiority of Islam over Christianity threads in d front page during christmas is deliberate. But the more the moderator who does it tries, the more he exposes the weaknesses of Islam instead.

After reading this man's statement, we are no longer surprised why there is Boko Haram; it is cunny messages like this that inspire them. To a dullard, it will apear he is against murder, and evil but that guy just promoted suicide bombing in disguise. Little wonder Boko boys named him as one of their arbitrators. They come out to criticize Boko Haram but their messages encourage it.

That said, let me clarify some issued here
Christianity has evolved to become a religion of those that believe in Jesus Christ as the son of God. But the etymology of the word christian as enshrined in the Bible is defined as those whose lives are similar to that of Christ. So you judge wether somebody is a Christian by looking at him in the light of the example Jesus set. Jesus never killed or murdered, or involved in pedophilia. All these were the examples set forth by Muhammad while still disguising himself as a prophet, exactly the way Gunmi is doing. Muhamed killed for religio-political purposes which many Muslims are copying.

If the general manager of a GTBank starts selling and promoting the use of Cocaine while still wearing their branded Tshirt, it doesn't make him a representative of their company in that act; but the same cannot be said if Femi Kuti under Fela shrine does the same. Shooter in school, Rihanna, Niger Delta militants, Eastern Nigerian kidnappers and every other element that go by the name Christian is not one by biblical standard. But Osama, AlQaeda, Boko Haram are the true Muslims because they take after their father muhammed.

Well, maybe you'll join them too before you change.

He is coming from there, so he is speaking as an insider. Ever since society rejected him and refused to give him job because he is an ex convict, he lives online and instead of him to be active on the job section, he is looking for where to be heard.

When you want to identify jobless people on Nairaland its easy, just watch those that always comment on the first page and its not as if they are in our industry.

outrage: You opend this thread because there's one of a lady that converted to islam on the front page??
Dudes that's sad! That's some serious Inferiority complex thingy..

Yes ofcourse! It is inferiority complex when we do it but no complex when a muslim puts that on the Front page on Christmas Day. See your name self "outrage" and that's what u people are known for. The guy defending Islam in the former thread claimed that Islam is for peace and Boko Haram is a conspiracy, when I looked at his signature it read "Hausas should hunt down kanuris because they brought Boko Haram" and fellow Muslims have liked it 45 times as at now. everything about u guys is violence

When Osama bombed twin Tower it is celebrated by u but when US retaliated you castigated they are killing civilians. Stop deceiving yourselves. I want to see why it should not be taken to the front page.

I can see that the overwhelming way Christmas is celebrated round the world has become a threat to the religeon of Islam. The funfare (even some muslims in Nigeria participate)makes the Muslims feel they are loosing ground. In other to restore their confidence in the religion, they post threads like this on the front page on a Christmas day-In the peak of Christians' festival. What a tactics.

Has anybody notice the amount of copycatting in Islam?
1. They copied the Bible and religion mainly from the Roman Catholic perspective anyway(the rosary,scapula, fatima etc)
2. They preach behind a pulpit on television, with audience sitting on a chair
3. They hold night vigils and Sunday services
4. Preach in the bus
5. Use fireworks/banger during Salah
etc
All these formerly christian practices have been adopted by Lagos Muslims in a bid to beat the competition. Funny enough christians still dont count them as competitors and have never adopted nothing from Islam.

Read the thread of some staunch Muslim families that comnverted to christianity because Jesus appeard to them. They include the grandson of the Emir of Kano Adebayero and Kuwait Prince https://www.nairaland.com/1142695/jesus-appeared-converted-islam-christianity#13547814

Its obvious most of those celebrating are not doing it for Jesus cos Jesus would never have endorsed such lasciviousness. They may be doing it for Santa anyway

You should have titled it "leaders who spent their christmas in their country hospitals" otherwise u shd add Gov. Chime Sullivan, Gov Suntai of Taraba, fmr Gov of Cross River what's his name again? Although all na Sahara amebo we hear am. I no follow
