Kobojunkie you are very right. Moreso, there is no thumbdown or "evil genius" or similar buttons to use on facebook. I think these are useful tools that facebook needs to seriously consider adding.

Dunno what IBB's advisers are doing. Facebook is the quintessential new platform for things like campaign and it's free!!! That's where I think IBB should start, not renting offices all over the place. Even a kindergarten child knows that. Anyway, it's kind of good for our unemployed youths as many have rightly pointed out; but it will be really really good for IBB to show [b]that [/b]his face to Nigerians and the whole world!!!!!!

It sounds really pleasant to the ears. Happy birthday Governor!

Why not report it to the police, whether something comes out of it or not.

Based on what they did to someone I know, I decided to
1. never buy from a street person. Never even answer them when they are calling.
2. buy only from an established office. Make sure they stamp the money they give you. Ask for their business card and compare card and stamp. Not fool proof though, they help.

Even when you bring dollars to sell, shine your eyes so they don't trickily change what you brought with fake ones. They did it to my man.

Is there any Port Harcourt based Italian interpreter in the house?

I have used the mtn's N10k(24/7) plan. The speed was not bad while it lasted, but the service ceased after 2 days! I have also experienced their robbery in other plans (night and daily). I desperately tried to talk to their helpline, but they never pick it. The last time I was at their centre and complained, they said it was a general problem and said the company hoped to do something about it, but lie. I now use starcomms evdo and etisalat. Comparatively, the latter are by far more decent.

@unclesam,
thank you for the effort!

Please kindly help. I can't have connection between sonyericsson P1i and pc so as to use the phone as modem; connection does not show in pc suite. Both cable and bluetooth fail to connect. I used NOT to have this problem with cable, but now it always tells me "cable detached" even when the cable is still there. For bluetooth, it says the phone does not have the necessary drivers to install on PC.

MTN did same thing to me many times until it made me to stop browsing with them. One of those days, they even cut me off on day 2 after paying 10k for 1 month. Ask me what i downloaded. I hear many people complain about same thing. So frustrating, but it's like there is nobody that can call them to order.

If you're sure you can cope with it's rigors or u want some job security, or just want to look cool , then go for medicine. But remember it takes more time. Then I personally feel it boxes people up in practice, ie if you really want to do it well, unlike the "single honors" that tend to force people to think/go outside of the box. There are lots of possibilities out there if u free up your mind, even with microbiology.

Would suggest you go for where you have more aptitude plus interest/passion, where you'd have better chances of graduatiing with a great grade. Great grade tends to put people at an advantage in the job market. Meanwhile, "single honour" usually only have marginal advantages over one another. It depends on the industry.

Audit people tend to be better exposed on the jjob, thereby boosting their cv for opportunities.

7 habits of highly effective people is great.

Pretend as if you don't yet have the money and go fix it for one year. In the mean time research "durable" opportunities. When you finally choose the one you think is the best, don't assume you know all, write out a standard business plan and launch out. Rmember that's not small money these days, so be careful.

I have seriously banked with uba, ecobank and first bank. I stopped going to UBA and Ecobank because of customer service. I have been with First bank now for roughly 7 years and I'm still very okay with them.

Please, how can I address continual over voltage problem where I live? It once led to fire outbreak with serious losses, and continues to damage other appliances. Can't freely use laptop or other sensitive things in the house (already lost 2 adaptors to new laptop). I always used APC surge arrestor and UPS for laptop. This is a general problem on my street though. I will greatly appreciate expert advice.

I had to reinstall XP, but lost hibernate from then. ACPI is there. Please what can I do to recover it?

I watched the video and came to the conclusion that she has started to mislead. It is a reminder that people should beware what they hear, and of the so called idols around us. I sympathise with the people, especially Christians, that fall mugu.

Answer is YES. Prayer can cause miracle to happen. Miracles DO happen. There have been people/nations who were "nobody" and suddenly things turned around for them and they became forces to reckon with. Many have had good and bad experiences at different times. Nigeria is having her own share and her case is not even the worst.
One reason prayer is important is that turnarounds are usually not by one's own ability, so to say. Rather, it is circumstances that produced them. This is common and scriptural. When God hears one's prayer, he causes circumstances to change and then the chain effects follow, and vice versa.
Like somebody said what we all need do is fulfill our own parts. Pray, work and do the correct things. Prayer/faith without work is dead, says the Bible. Nigeria is great and this is prophetic. So have faith.

You don't have to be desperate. It shouldn't be all about creams either. Rather, try take advantage of the situation with more self respect. Dress well, eat well, be kind to people. Be humble, and especially to your man (now or whenever)Be happpy because some folks are also complaining that they look too babyish. There is this lady that's about 30 but looks 20 and so often, some public miscreant would stretch hand to hold or touch a wrong side! Or she can't fully express herself in some circles. Or she's embarrased with one thoughtless utterance or another, etc,  all because of how she looks.

Listerine and co only do a temporary work and is more appropriately for the usual odour that comes from inactivity or so. If what you have is an infection(with stronger and chronic odour) , the best bet is to visit an expert who is more knowledgeable at determining what the matter is and solution.

I was having until I visited ENT (ear, nose and throat) doctor who put me on medication. That was how it ended. I've also learnt to visit dental clinic for mouth wash at worst once in a year.

Visit the site more and more. Read postings from different sections. Make attempt at posting your own message/response. You would soon get more familiar with the place and find it more interesting. It's a great site!

Funkybaby, thanks. But what I wish to know is what steps they normally would take with such declaration. I want to think that they are not that , ?? to refuse one a visa just for saying the truth, without trying to acertain things. Or they don't go any further?

Assault was in Nigeria and embasy US.

Nairalanders, I’m applying for a foreign visa and they are asking if I have ever been arrested. Some years ago, a policeman had hit me unjustly and I hit him back in anger. I was arrested, detained and charged to court for assaulting a man in uniform. We later settled out of court and the case was closed. I’d like to know what and what normally follows when a case like this is disclosed at a foreign embassy. Many thanks for your response.

To me, he absolutely deserves it.

Happy birthday in arrears!!!!!!

House, please help. What would you recommend for an oily and sensitive skin, prone to pimples/acne. One that suits me well  is Neutrogena’s BodyClear, but from all indications, it’s no longer in the market. Looking for a replacement:
1.Something NON-OILY
2.Really great for the skin
3.MUST NOT have any fading effect
4.gentle scent
5.if possible, helps fight pimples.
Thank you so much.
