How does your "rhetorical" question show that they're not regular buildings?

If I've visited 20 countries and seen the same mediocre buildings all over, what does that mean?

unitysheart:
Abeg, make una share your opinion on who has grown more out of Don Jazzy and Dbanj.

stalyf:
Her shoes in the first picture though.
Is that an iPhone 6 in the second picture?
Her sense of fashion don't look Nigerian in my opinion. She is gradually starting some wild dress sense that other artists would pick up with time.

Last bullet: The way Tiwa Savage is getting front page recognition for the smallest affair, someone would soon say Seun has a secret affair with her just like with Tonto Dike some months back

I think asking where I come from would have been better than asking where I've travelled to.

[b]WTF!!! Orezi And Lil Kesh Fight In The Club
A mild drama ensued on tuesday evening when two upcoming stars which have the hit dance tune‘ shoki’ to their names took to their fists in a ‘no love’ situation at NAIRALAND lounge.
The superstar pairs ofOrezi and Lil Kesh were detained by private security when the fight broke out.
Eyewitnesses (ggrin) say it all started when the dj played lil kesh’s Shoki following his entrance into the club, infuriating Orezi who was previously in the club.
Speaking to ANDYBLAZE,Orezi said “what the dj did was unthinkable, I mean I released the hit first and so it should be on a first come first serve basis, and the lil thwart or whatever he calls him self was making noise (in the club), so I had to stone his mouth with a pair of my J’s”.
Lil kesh in return stoned Orezi with a handkerchief filled with ice blocks much to the amusement of fellow clubbers.
Runs girl, (Xsenga) who was a witness said, me I no care who sabi dance am pass or sing am first, but na Lil kesh pay for my drink so I use him handkerchief.
With ice block massage him lips wey Orezi stone with him J’s, na so he carry am stone Orezi punk commot for the guy head, na so the fight start.
Quinox manager said ‘my drinks sold enh as people started trooping in to watch the fight before security could break the two lads up, I think shoki has a karate move because Lil Kesh used it on Orezi’.[/b]

shymexx:
I just saw this.

I can do like an hour drive round my local council - not proper London and the City - and I'll get loads of pictures better than everything you posted on here. C'mon now, you're celebrating freaking Spar shop? Freaking Spar shop? - FML!!!

Nigeria deserves better! Not even the fugly architecture that the Abuja Church is. Who designed that fugly Church?

These are regular buildings in some countries.

There's absolutely nothing stunning about the Ibadan building. I suggest its replaced with another picture, thanks.

where is ur location and ur contact

alotofgrace:
It used to be the case that you had about 90 days to get “up to speed” and begin adding value at a new job. The expectations were relatively low that you would or could be able to competently do your job before that point.

Times have changed. The need to fast track the ramp-up time is greater than ever, and very rarely will an “employee handbook” or “how-to manual” answer the most important questions (if such a document even exists). But the nice thing about being new is that you can ask all types of questions and co-workers are generally quite gracious in responding.

In my own recent new job experience, I’ve found the following 12 questions not only crucial to my ramp-up, but in many cases also beneficial to those I ask.

1. Where is the supply cabinet?

And the coffee pot, creamer, copy machine, scanner, bathroom, emergency exit, front door key, and any other obvious but not always stated need for functioning in most offices. Get these things out of the way on your first day and you’ll feel less at sea when the inevitable ambiguities arise.

2. What’s your preferred mode of communication?

Some people like email, others prefer phone, and still others face-to-face. Find out now for as many of your key internal and external contacts as possible, and you’ll save yourself a boatload of frustration later on.

3. What are you working on?

This simple question accomplishes three cool things: you get a feel for the pace and type of work (both organizationally and with individuals), you show respect for your colleagues by taking an interest in their activities, and you can begin over time to identify potential gaps that might need to be filled by you (or overlaps that you don’t need to take on).

4. Where do folks work out, socialize, get coffee, etc.?

The social and cultural aspects of a work environment are as important (and frequently more important) than job descriptions, titles, and org charts. It’s while breaking bread or breaking a sweat together that you’ll find out what’s really keeping the machine oiled.

5. Where’s the low-hanging fruit?

There are always pesky little tasks that were left by predecessors or kept waiting for when your first week is done. These are the list of mini-projects that take less than half a day, but once you get up to speed, you’ll never get to them. Instead of seeing them as annoyances, recognize them for the ripe fruit that they are. These are the easy things. Do them right away and report out on their completion. Make yourself indispensable right away.

6. Who decides?

Figure out as soon as possible who the stakeholders are on your projects, what’s the process for decision-making in general and specifically on your work, and who ultimately has the final say. This may (likely will) change over time, but put your best foot forward… and try not to step on any toes!

7. What’s the mission?

Sure, you asked this during the interview process and read it on the website. But it’s worth asking again — and figuring out how your role and your department’s role fits in with the big picture. Write your own purpose statement that supports the organizational mission. Run it by your boss or a respected colleague to see if you’re on track. This will help you as you try to navigate and negotiate your priorities with the powers that be.

8. How will we know if we succeed?

Or another way to say it: what does it look like in the end if we do it right (or if I do my job right)? This should elicit responses that can point to measurable goals and give meaning to your daily activities.

9. Who’s the expert on ____?

Find out as soon as possible who holds the institutional knowledge on the variety of areas that matter for our success.

10. What’s the backstory?

When you first start a new job, many of the established systems or rituals or rules can seem quite arbitrary and, well, strange. Instead of sounding like a judgmental snob by continually asking, “Why do you do THAT?”, asking for the backstory honors the history and the teller.

11. How can I help you?

Just because you’re new to the job doesn’t mean you don’t have something to offer. They hired you for a reason. Ask folks specifically how you can make their lives better. This is simply the right thing to do, but it will also make it easier for you to ask them for help later on.

12. How can I make a difference here now?

This is a question to ask yourself every day. Again, being new doesn’t mean you can’t start contributing from day one. In fact, there is a kind of value you bring as a new employee that can diminish over time. It’s called “fresh perspective.” In a healthy organization, this is a prized commodity.

This is handing responsibility for your actions over to someone else, taking the meaning (and therefore the joy) from your work. Even when talking with your boss, ask instead “What are our priorities?” Get the clarification that provides you with a scope of work, but never hand over responsibility for your success to someone else.

As a newbie on the job, I admit the number of questions I’ve asked since day one is well over a hundred, but mostly some variation on the twelve above. But to make this list a baker’s dozen, I’ll add one more for you: What have I missed?

I repeat This is a MUST HAVE APP and if you dont have it make sure you download it. it would help you in so many ways trust me

2. True Caller (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.truecaller): If you do not have true caller app installed on your phone then you are missing out on a great deal. Now picture this, you have this number disturbing your phone's peace (aka stalkers) and you dont really know who it might be, or you are like me who doesn't like picking up unknown numbers. True caller comes to the rescue by displaying the person's identity anytime he/she calls. if you are a girl you need this more because of them stalkers out here

I repeat.. if you do not have this app in your android device.. YOU NEED TO BE FLOGGED ( Download : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey)


4. Photo Grid: Oh yeah we all know about Piccmix.. but Photo grid is the real deal. To picmix, photogrid is like superman steroids -__-... the various collage layouts it has plus the ability to create video slides and flimstrips makes Photo Grid the best collage maker in THE WORLD.

5. ES File Explorer: WOW no words for this baby right here,..... ES file explorer is the best the best the best file manager in the app kingdom.. the benefits are so many i cant even start listing them out here but i would let you in on one....,now imagine if you want to transfer a 4GB file to your friend, we all know bluetooth sucks for that kind of job, ES file explorer comes in and saves the day by transferring that large file in just a matter of minutes.. YES 4GB file transfer in minutes and yeah IT IS FREE.


In as much as i have other cool apps that are also important, the apps up here are the best in its category so if you don't have them click on the download links and become awesome.. (Thank me later)

Colombia's Foreign Ministry issued a brief statement saying the country was barring entry by any travellers requiring visas who have been in five African nations with Ebola outbreaks -- Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Senegal. It said the step was being taken at the recommendation of Colombia's National Institute of Health.

Meanwhile, St. Lucia Prime Minister Kenny Anthony said all visitors from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone were prohibited from entering his country until the Ebola outbreak is brought under control, saying the ban will minimize chances for the deadly disease to be introduced by an infected traveler.

He said an outbreak of the virus would be devastating for the country of 200,000 people, where tourism accounts for more than 60 percent of gross domestic product.

Passengers from a fourth West African nation, Nigeria, will be required to present a "recent medical certificate" clearing them of the virus, Anthony said. Specifics of how this might work were not immediately provided.

Nigeria is free of Ebola and more countries should be scared of US or Spain..Than Nigeria.... My Opinion
