On June 25, 2009, the world lost Michael Jackson, one of music's true greats.

Ten years after his death, we remember the King of Pop as a pioneer whose work remains a huge part of our cultural consciousness. The
legendary artist began his career at just 9 years old when The Jackson Five signed to Steeltown Records in 1967. He was only 11 when, after signing with Motown in 1969, the
group had their first single, "I Want You Back," hit number one in 1970. A two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Jackson
continued to write and record original work for four decades, and still holds the record for best-selling album of all time for his 1982 record,"Thriller."

We continue to hear his genius talent as both a vocalist and songwriter in hits like, "Beat It," "Billy Jean," "Bad," "Smooth Criminal," "Man In The Mirror" and "The Way You Make Me Feel."

As Recording Academy President Neil
Portnow told Rolling Stone back in 2009:
"Rarely has the world received a gift with the magnitude of artistry, talent, and vision as Michael Jackson. He was a true musical icon whose identifiable voice, innovative dance
moves, stunning musical versatility, and sheer
star power carried him from childhood to worldwide acclaim. A 13-time Grammy recipient, Michael's career transcends musical and cultural genres and his contributions will always keep him in our hearts and memories."

We miss you, Michael.
R. I. P King Of Pop

Michael Jackson is a legend

A massive fire has erupted in Unilag close to the popular senate building.

A car caught fire and a tyre exploded. The fire figthers also didn’t have top notch equipments as they could be seen quenching the fire via buckets rather than a high pressure hose.

I just bought a landed property on the mainland in Lagos. The current tenant begged to stay pending when they get an accommodation elsewhere and they were given 2 months plus to move out. The previous owner served them quit notice and did not collect rent from them in the last one year. However, the agent that helped in buying the property called me that they have started removing windows, wires and doors from the flats that are already vacant.
Currently, I am at a cross road as to what to do because my intention is to renovate the property once they all move out.

Alright, we have heard you, continue to remain in the crossroad until they have pulled down the house and started packing the particles away. Don't go and arrest them

This is very disheartening, but Nnamdi Kanu is supposed to storm there immediately to rescue our people, I thought they said he is a very powerful guy with international connections

I won't blame you for losing the job but why was your public relation with neighbors, relatives and friends so poor that you could not find anyone to support you at a time of need like this? I'm not judging you bro but try and keep some good relationship that will feel the gap for you when the need arise

stubbornman:
You know ehn....... Nairaland is filled with idiots without brain..... Someone asked a very sensitive question that many people (like me) can learn from but what do we have?? some bunch irresponsible, Godforsaken, orangutan exhibiting their ignorance...... Some of you really disgust me on this forum.... we don't even know when to play!!!...that's why foreigners hardly stop by to comment on this forum!!!!

Sometimes I read people's comment here and I wonder what some of you look like in real life.

Your point is clear but you insult like a 40yrs frustrated lady

Why will she feel bad when has earn 800 naira for 4hrs?

From GOD we come,to HIM is our return.
Morsi is just like our Abiola.

Very correct. Sad

The op must be a boy and not a man. If not why can't you tell your wife to tell her sister to dress properly in the house, or are you enjoying what you are seeing?

She did not truly love you before, she was just leading you on

Learn to start little.. 30k job is sumtin.. Dat won't stop you from looking out for other jobs..

Comparing wot dey pay in UK to nigeria is none of ur biz..

Even in some companies in nigeria, they pay some people high and some people low... same job role and same qualification ..

When they said they will pay with minimum wage doesn't mean he will be paid 30k, you should understand that the lowest paid worker eg security guard now earn 30k. It mean the salary will be calculated base on minimum wage

frankyskyboi:
I already have a stable job tho but I just thought of attending interviews with the aim of either greener pastures and to experience what most job seekers pass through. I'm a pharmacist though

The First was a job vacancy advertised on nairaland by an online firm in UK, they needed an online health rep.. The interview was on WhatsApp..They drilled me with so many research questions, gave me deadlines to submit and I always wowed them by submitting before deadline.. The interview process took about a week.. The next week..They called for salary negotiation..I was so excited but my excitement was cut short when they told me they're paying according to minimum wage..i was taken aback..even though I opted for part time..30000 wasn't cool because I knew their rep in uk won't be paid same wage..i told them that I should be paid same as the person working in uk since it's almost same job description but they said they'll pay according to country's minimum wage. I told them even a part time pharmacist cant earn such amount..she said Nigerians are obsessed with money..started giving entrepreneurship gospel bla bla..I just kuku lost interest..lol

Paying according to minimum wage doesn't mean you will be paid 30k

Thank God that you met some enlightened people here today, I was afraid they were going to tell you to go see their pastor, at least with seed of faith

This Sars are barbaric

We all stayed in one kind of abandoned open shop close to the church. Unlike most of the guys that were picking pure water sachet in the circle area, the guys here were doing more of hard labour like bricklayer work, offloading goods from containers because that area is an industrial area so there are many warehouses around. Many of them have been there for long so they had their connection and knew when jobs were coming up. I tried to get involved with anything I could do so I can survive but yet again everyone would always tell me I can't do those kind of jobs. I will force them to take me but at the end the supervisor will still reject me. I felt really bad but then I had to get back to my usual begging which was obviously the only one that favoured me. Somehow I really felt like God was with me because I never imagined doing those kind of jobs and God didn't allow me do it. Sometimes when they have church services am always looking for you to beg until one day one man told me he will report to the pastor because the pastor warned that if anyone is caught begging they should report security and arrest the person.

Let me try to cut the long story short so I don't have to write in different pages.
Staying at that shop space close to the church was a nightmare because when rain falls at night we are practically sleeping under the rain. The mosquito bite at night is terrible. The shocking thing was how new people come almost everyday with the same story of how someone ran with their money or how their money got missing at the border and we will all have to stay in that place together. Mind you we can only stay there at night because during the day it's in front of a factory and that's were their workers sit down during their break. So during the day we all have to disappear from there but our bags are there and we cover them with the cartons we spread on the floor to sleep. I had tried so hard to raise money to get back to Nigeria but it only seems I can just find money to eat and do little things and that was it. I had to make enquiries about the Nigerian embassy in Ghana and then I got the address. So one day I went to the Embassy and explained my situation. The man I met there was really so nice and helpful. He told me they will send my issue to the ambassador because I told them I needed to go and I had no were to stay if they don't attend to me that day and find money for me. Unfortunately they said the ambassador had an urgent meeting so he will have to see it tomorrow and any amount he approves they will let me know. I thought about going back to sleep in that store and I said not today, so I gave my usual pity face and said I don't have anywhere to stay. So they allowed me sleep somewhere inside the embassy. That was the best sleep I have had in ages and the best bath I had taken that night. It was like I should not come out the bathroom and they oven put AC for me but I put it off later because my body was not use to AC anymore. I felt so alive again praying and hoping they give me money to go.
The next day I got a very bad news that the ambassador didn't approve any money because Buhari has not released money to the embassy. I actually almost fainted because I could not imagine going back to that store house after sleeping in the embassy so I pleaded with the man to help me in anyway. Very nice man I will never forget. He told me to wait, he was going to rag all the workers and see what he could get for me. That was how he was able to raise 200ghc for me and then told me I should not use the naija buses because the money won't be enough but I should use the short cut which he wrote on paper for me. From Accra to Aflao, I cross through the back gate and enter Togo. From Togo to Seme and then to Mile 2.

I was so grateful to God for everything and that was how I found myself back home. I have been putting myself together and glory to God I now have a phone which I am using to type this story. I look forward to God that kept me safe all through that experience because I know he has better and bigger plans for me.

I believe I will be a testimony to many very soon.

This is my true life experience, I never made it to Abidjan but I came back home alive.

Pls how can we help you to thank the good Samaritan? Cos I was almost crying when reading your story. Guy I have been there before but it was in PH, Nigeria.

Guy go for the government job first until your uncle start his own. Your uncle's own may not even start immediately

And you expect me to patronize made in Nigeria cars

MorufuAtanda:
Where are the bodies? We need proof..not mumbo-jumbo..

I'm tired of stories

What kind of education will you be giving to farmers, that if cow and herdsmen ravage their crop they should not react?

I got a Honda Accord baby boy recently and the gear shift is draining me off cash... It delays before shifting from one gear to another. Lagos mechanics have scammed me within the last two months and I'm dead broke right now. I need to move the car to Ilorin for business...


One said it's a rewire's work, rewire did it still the problem persist please what do I need to do I'm a novice please experts should please tell me what the problem could be and what can be done.

That is what happen when you put the wrong type of gear oil in your gear box.
Open the bonnet of your car and bring out the dip stick you use in gauging the gear oil, check the body of the dip stick very well you will see the name of the gear oil you are supposed to use. Immediately you put the right oil the gear shift will become normal.
Nigeria mechanic be like "oga no worry I know what I'm doing" whereas they know nothing. They will just go and put any cheap transmission oil in your gear box and your car will be begin to develop problems

Oga I beg step up action on Boko Haram and herdmen first, they're more dangerous

Every country is just loading Biafrans inside their jail anyhow.

ELVISHOT:
This is Sagbokodji Island community in Apapa Lagos where they have not seen electricity light for over 100 years now.

According to the villagers the said the don't have government light, that is always dark in their community and people always walk walk all the time.

According to Joseph Temilade Damola he said, "Forget ikoyi, forget lekki ,this place is the real island". Joseph said that the use to charge their phone 50 naira everyday because they don't have light here.

That even to watch one match the pay 100 naira ,but if is two match the use to pay N150.

That is how we also roll in yenagoa, no light but we still pay light bill monthly. They will not even allow you to watch 2 matches for #150

Nigeria will know peace, it is Biafra that will not know peace. Quote me and run mad and lose control of your life now

The locanical name is "Hospital too Far"

Op it is Famgbe community not fame community. The decision of NYSC is very commendable cos some few months ago 4 corps members were also shot in Swali, a community sharing boundary with Famgbe, 2 died while 2 were admitted in the hospital. The police has made it clear to the state that they don't have enough men and equipment to tackle the menace
