Of course Damiso, there are exceptions to every rule. If you have been "fortunate" enough to come across fantastic female bosses and colleagues, I say good for you.

BUT, it is harder to work with most women. They tend to carry their issues and baggage around and you get to hear comments like "this woman needs to get laid".
Nobody's saying there are no evil male bosses

Lol Kabukabu u really dont need to lie to pls some ppl in here.You should be man enough and speak the truth and quit acting like a manb1tch cheesy.When have you seen any naija guy visiting a fast food joint alone?
The only time i visit a fast food joint is when i take a girl out and we guys really dont have a craving for junk food like the ladies and the only crave we might have is alcohol so stop lying through your teeth.
Ps:i take it you one of those few nigerian men who take junk food to look westernised abi?
Dude, haba! Men visit fast food places alone. Don't even go there.
Granted, maybe not as frequently as the women but they definitely do.
CareerRe: Working For Five Months Without Pay by tollu: 1:27pm On Jun 22, 2011
Reference:
The problem with your friend and many other Nigerians is that they are completely ambivalent to the workings of the organizations they claim to belong. It cannot take me a month to know whether an organization is worthwhile and it is certainly not up to us onlookers to determine if he should continue. His success is entirely up to him. If I were him these are the questions I would ask myself. What are the prospects of the company. Is it earning income or not and does it have the potentials. Are there management problems. Are there issues with sales. Is is suffering from excessive competition. Are its products seasonal, expired, outdated or irrelevant. There are many factors to consider. Your friends' position in the Company, how much influence he has, the organizational structure and his relationship with his boss or bosses.

If he has no influence, no internal relationships and the Company is the typical one-man, socialist enterprise, then that's a complete sham, he's in real trouble and should leave promptly but on the other hand if the Company has potentials and he can communicate them effectively, he should pull up his socks as it can be a potential goldmine for him. I've seen people take the reins in similar situations and have driven themselves into management positions.

Spare sometime, do some after work work, research the company, its products or services and see what you can do personally to drive them then propose it to your clueless boss and don't just be a 9 - 5 statistic.
I like this post.
Well, there you have it OP, show you friend. Reference's post.
Is your friend willing to be proactive rather than reactive?
What exactly is he gaining from said job and what exactly is his contribution?

Ndo. What are the things she does that drive you nuts?

As Madoba has said, men & women are wired differently and until everyone understands that, the battle of the sexes would remain strong.
Women aren't just terrible bosses/colleagues, they are terrible friends, terrible customers and terrible everything.
Who cares if you are suffering from PMS or whatever, once you are at work all dose other things should take a back burner and your professionalism face should be brought out.
If you are emotionally disturbed or whatever, take a sick leave. It's a sickness.

I subscribe to Madoba's point of view that training on professionalism should be conducted at the beginning of employment. A lot of these issues come up because people assume that your colleagues as work should be "officially" bothered if anything is wrong. Things like that should be saved for out of work hours.
CareerRe: Working For Five Months Without Pay by tollu: 12:42pm On Jun 22, 2011
5 months without pay is way too much for anyone to endure.
Your friend should resign ASAP cos it's possible he isn't even gaining any valuable experience that can improve his career and lot in life so what then is the point?

Per the arrears, it's a two way thing, he either gets it or he doesnt. Depending on the integrity of the boss.
FoodRe: Nigerian Girls And Their Crave For Junk Meals by tollu: 7:12am On Jun 21, 2011
I'm sorry for anybody who buys kunu or fura or whatever from street hawkers. Those things were prepared in less than hygienic conditions. Conditions where you'd probably find kids with runny noses and diarrhoea all over the place, filthy water and just generally nasty.

Abeg forget kunu and just drink water. I think the fan yoghurt you suggested earlier is loaded with sugar though.

Far as I know, guys rip the ripest farts.

@Tom28
Well, I can't argue with the mother and grandmother part but that's a worldwide trend. Obesity is on the rise due to change in lifestyle basically and it affects both sexes. The female more because we have a natural tendency to store fat.

With lifestyle change though, most people can get trim bodies.
FoodRe: Nigerian Girls And Their Crave For Junk Meals by tollu: 3:54pm On Jun 20, 2011
Chai, see bashing.

Yeah I agree Nigerian girls do tend to lug around fat tummies even the skinny ones. I ascribe it to the following:
1. Once we reach puberty, the female body tends to store fat in some certain areas and that is what is responsible for all the bo0bies and buttts that you guys love.

2. The kind of food readily available. All that rice and eba has effect nah

3. Zero exercise culture

Guys don't be so quick to yab, for crying out loud, no matter how fat a guy is he'd never get cellulite.

Okay maybe some girls are greedy and stuff but like attracts like. So if as a guy you end up with an onijekuje then check yourself.

Ok, sounds like your target market would be students and dependants mostly. Not bad.

What are the charges involved? If I send you a 500N voucher, does my account get credited with same amount? I'm thinking no, that's prolly where you make your profit from.

I tried to use the search function at the top a few seconds ago and noticed it's now linked with Yahoo. Oh well, the forum owner knows best.
Nairaland GeneralRe: C'mon Men,where's 'search' At? by tollu: 9:10am On Jun 20, 2011
Yeah, I also searched for the search thing yesterday.
Perhaps the Facebook connection has affected the Google feature. I hope it's temporary.

There's a search tab up there though.

PoliticsRe: Fashola Frowns At Road Closure For Top Govt Officials by tollu: 9:03am On Jun 20, 2011
Sometime last week as well, the IG reportedly came into Lagos and one could just see policemen lining the highways in large numbers and the anthony link road from Maryland to Oshodi expressway was cordoned off. How long that lasted I can't say.

Sirens for government officials I can even understand. What about some fat cats, male and female, that for whatever reason have police escorts and still blast sirens? That's just the height.

PoliticsRe: Action Guvnor Brf At It Again by tollu: 2:10pm On Jun 17, 2011
These kinda pictures are nothing new to Lagos and it will remain so for a couple of reasons.

1. In this day and age, people still empty their trash into the gutter when it rains
2. The drainage system on our roads is almost non existent
3. People STILL build houses in places that waterways should be (who allocates the land?)
4. We sandfill everywhere all in the name of a mega city

Neways, the caption to the first picture is really interesting, "Inu Osa" LMAO.

I cook mine with shrimp, franks and mixed vegetables.
To spice it up I use some dry or fresh pepper, soy sauce and a bit of ginger cos it has to be really pepper hot for me to enjoy it.

I make the small pack of noodles but by d time I'm done, it's a large portion.

PhonesRe: Should Any Sensible Person Be On The MTN Network? by tollu: 12:55pm On Jun 07, 2011
Nigerians! We are a class unto our own selves. If you guys are not satisfied, what then are you doing on the network? What?A whole lot of you do not like change of any sort, all you know how to do is complain.Before April 2011, we were complaining about the PDP government. Any outsider would have sworn PDP would never get into the seat of power but what did we see when results came? Goodluck as your president.

The truth is you guys like to suffer and complain, it must be some kind of mind altering drug to you. If something doesn't work, you furking change it especially when there are so many alternatives.

Now, I work with MTN n this would most definitely be seen as disloyal but the truth is once I resign from their job in a couple of months, I leave their network for them.There's no excuse for poor quality of service or customer dissatisfaction because these Telcos all have the same challenges.Guys you have a choice, matter of fact you have many choices. Don't try to force square pegs in round holes, it won't fit.
