Actually mine is same as yours, my finance alwayz complaint am too sexually active that I should take it easy on her,there is a time i wanted to leave her and find anoda lady BUT I eventually learn anoda lesson along the way that marriage is not about sex alone,it encompasses a lot...though SEX is important in marriage but not everything...There is a lot more. Please let him know, do not be shy..Tell him how you want it and you can also help him in any form you think can be of help to him or u guys should visit....

atbu1983: please stop this fake rumour. Wole soyinka made a 2.1. I graduated in 2006. That was what we use to hear from motivational speakers until wole soyinka himself told d whole world that he made a 2.1. In life you have to increase ur probability of success. where you see ten 2.2 graduate with good job there are over one hundred 2.1 graduate with similar and better job. so don't b deceive with d one or two lucky 2.2 graduate. d world is very competitive. My younger broda graduated with 2.2. I have d money to sponsor him for Msc in Canada. No school accepted 2.2 for msc in canada. I tried over 50 schools we could not see any that accepted 2.2 for msc. I knoe you will say UK accept 2.2. Yes UK accept. But once you finish you are back to naija to d tough labor market. but in canada you are sure of 3 years stay to hustle and get a job.

Source please...

handie: I'm a final year student and honestly, my GP ain't as good as I wish. I'm contemplating dropping some courses and rewriting them next session to boost my GP. please can I resit those exams and still go for NYSC that same year? I talked to my course adviser about it and he said i'll be able to go with the next available batch once my result is out. pls is this possible? what is your advice to me? N.B: I'm 20 years old

Let me remind you that 2.1 may be a good grade but cannot always get you a highly pay job and also neither 2.2 cannot get you a low pay job...You're what u can do with your qualification...not the grade u have got while in school...Let me also remind you that Prof. Wole Soyinka has "pass" grade during his B.sc program...He is well known throughout the whole world...I think its nt advisable to drop some courses just because u want 2.1. #MyOpinion. With your grade can employ first class.

DisGuy:

what like he's going to beat you with his zimmer frame if you disobey him?

They call it respect for header...Nt fear of beating...She respect her father that all

MaziOmenuko: I believe this is a welcome development: I'm saying this because when the N100 charges was suspended, most banks that have ATM outside their premises feel reluctant to fund the machines. Every organization is run with the aim of making profits, so why will they spend their resources building ATM at remote areas, fund it and not make a profit?
With this re-introduction, we are likely to see more ATM installed all over the street corners, markets and shops.

That's the way I see it.

Nobody is saying they shd not charge for using other bank AMTs. It is just that the charges is too much. They should reduce to N10 per transaction.

Brainwash please cut the crap...There's no way some will be brainwashing someone to kill himself/herself in order to kill another person...Suicide bomb is not in history of Nigeria...Boko Haram are not Nigerians and they're not fighting for Islamic state. They're just using Islam to cover their face...Their mission is not to Islamised Nigeria as people are thinking. They're CIA Agent believe it or not...Boko Haram is CIA cover...These people are so intelligent to extent that they were not easily traceable. They turn human brain to robot/machine to extent that they will reprogram their brain not knowing their mission.

That's the power of love. If u re badly in love,u will be blind to see anything wrong in him/her. I will advice you to let them be. God knows the best...Instead continue to pray for them...I can see from your write up that u want the best for brother...I can only advice him to look before he leap...

I only know of Ibadan because i have lived there and I am still living there at present. Ibadan is peace,less traffic and cheap foodstuff.

Thanks Bro,may Allah SWT reward you.

The Danger Of A Single Player: What Entrepreneurs Can Learn From Brazil

When Neymar fell to the ground grasping his back in the 82nd minute of the Brazil versus Colombian world cup quarter-final, the entire nation of Brazil as well as several other millions in other parts of the globe held their collective breath!

This was not a typical fall…it looked more serious. A fortuitous or intentional (only Colombian defender Juan Camilo Zuniga will know) knee to the back.

In the words of Brazilian left back Marcelo, who was the first on the scene “I can’t feel my legs” were the first words uttered by Neymar. Marcelo instantly feared the worse “paralysis” and fervently beckoned for medical help.

But on July 8th, as the Brazilians faced the Germans at Belo Horizonte, it was Marcelo ironically who seemed like the one who could not feel his legs … as the Germans slotted 7 goals past a paralyzed static Brazilian defense. Breaking the hearts of Brazilians and breaking several other records in the process including Most goals scored in a world cup semi-final, worst loss by a host team in world cup history, Fastest to score four goals (Germany scored 4 goals in six minutes, let that digest!) and let’s not forget twitter…Most discussed sports game ever with 35.6 million tweets!

But what was interesting about this shellacking was that this was Brazil we were talking about. 5 time world cup champions…the country of the great Pele, the great Ronaldo, the great Rivaldo, the great Ronaldinho…

This was not a Costa Rica type team or maybe a Cameroonian team playing in an unfamiliar climate. This was Brazil playing at home in front of their raucous fans being outplayed by the same German team that struggled to get past Algeria and Ghana just a few days ago. It was not like there was a biased referee or that the Brazilian team was playing with 10 men or that Germany got some undeserved/controversial penalty decision.

None of that! It was just a straight up inexcusable beating that shocked many across the globe. Except for some … the soccer pundits. The pundits who saw Brazil scrape past Croatia thanks to a shady decision, struggle to break down Mexico and managing to edge out Chile on the lottery of penalty kicks. To them they say a weakened Brazil side, but their observation were drowned out by the screams of many but more salient by the skills of a certain player.
Neymar Jr.
Neymar who scored, who orchestrated, who inspired but more importantly who covered up for the deficiencies of the Brazilian squad. Until Juan Camilo Zuniga ended his world cup and Brazil’s. And in the space of 1 minute Brazil went from world beaters to local amateur league contestants.

But this has been the story of the 2014 world cup. The story of the single player…the special one.

Without Suarez, Uruguay can’t score and can’t win. But once he is in the line-up Uruguay look deadly…everyone from the midfield to the defense looks solid. Without Messi Argentina are just well Argentina.

That’s the problem with the single player. The problem is that they cover up for the deficiencies of their team, cover up for other players, cover up for poor management and hide deficiencies in the organization. The single player makes the team look great even when in fact the team is shitty.

Soccer pundits knew that Brazil had an average team, but with Neymar scoring all that noise was drowned out. Plus the history and the aura of Brazil ensured it remained quiet. Until Neymar went down, until Suarez dug into Chillieni…until reality hit!

Because everything is great with the single superstar player…until they suddenly leave like Steve Jobs. And then the organization for the first time is forced to face the reality of its inefficiencies.

When Steve Jobs left Apple in 1985 their stocks dropped, their market share eroded and their once solid product offering started confusing their customers. It was just like the Brazil without Neymar. Apple was all over the place and tethering on the brink of bankruptcy when they made a call to Steve Jobs in 1997 and returned him to the helm of Apple affairs….the rest as we know is i-history.

But not everyone is given the opportunity to get a replacement super star back like Apple. Sometimes they never comeback. The key however is to mitigate the effect of their departure by recognizing their presence. By doing so you are able to properly determine where your organization areas of deficiencies lie.

For Brazil, Neymar covered up their poor defense by deviating attention away with his offensive presence…a presence that allowed the defense play sloppy without being exposed by the opposing team which was too pre-occupied with containing Neymar. For Uruguay Luis Suarez covered up the fact that Edinson Cavani and Diego Forlan were strikers not in form.

The truth is that a lot of our organizations are set up like the Brazilian and Uruguayan team. An average disjointed system that could collapse any minute but does not because of that superstar who goes above and beyond. The one that has to be called upon even on their vacation (that’s if they are even allowed to take any), the one that makes everyone look good great by picking up the organizational slack and not complaining, the special one. The single player. The one who tricks us into believing a team is great when in fact they are not.

Beware of the single player...Okechukwu Ofili

Pls no matter what has happened in your life leave it to Almighty God to judge.Pls don't kill. The lesson well learn today is for better tomorrow.

A lot of things are happening here in Naija. 200 staff was laid off last month and close to N200m was spent just to bring a musician from U.S. Is that making any sense?...
