Nairaland GeneralAfter Reading This, You’ll Never Want To Throw These Silica Gel Away Again! by vicostyles(op): 7:04pm On Dec 28, 2015
[img]http://3.bp..com/-2YLl_RfrHzA/VoFuvFiJRBI/AAAAAAAAAyQ/SzlBoakoCwY/s1600/Silicon%2Bbag.jpg[/img]

How many times have you chucked away those little silica bags that we find in almost every newly bought item?
How many times have you not actually even realised they were in your new package?
Perhaps they’re still lurking there now as we speak.
You may have thought the bags were useless once the product was out of transit, and the big DO NOT EAT on them might have freaked you out enough to bin them instantly.
But while you must of course never eat the gel, and the bags MUST be kept away from babies and animals (mainly because they are a choking hazard), the contents of the bags are not actually toxic.
The silica gel bags are filled with a substance called silicon dioxide, a non-toxic inert desiccant that has the power to dry out moisture.
So, it turns out we should be paying more attention to these tiny little bags.
Because, apparently, there’s a tonne of uses for them that you might never even have known about.
Here are the best ways you can use silica bags around the house:

You can save your drowned phone
It turns out rice isn’t the only way to save a phone you may have accidentally dropped down the toilet. Filling up a bowl with silica bags is apparently ’10 times more effective than rice’.

Save precious memories
Putting silica bags in a box of old photos will save them from any dampness – which can really ruin a lovely photo you wished to save forever to look back on over the years.

Protect your make-up
Putting a bag or two in your makeup bag will stop your powder-based makeup from going claggy and difficult to apply.

Put them in your gym bag to eliminate odour
The silica will absorb the excess moisture in your gym shoes after a workout – which is particularly handy since many of us go to the gym then leave our kit in the bag for the rest of the day. Or week. Bacteria thrives well in a moist environment, so by eliminating dampness the silica bags will help keep your gym-bag germ- and whiff-free. A win/win for all.

Keep your bath towels from smelling
Putting a few of these bags in between your bath towels can help prevent dampness and the smell that comes with it – leaving your bathroom smelling of nothing but air freshener and good times.

Keep your car windscreen clear
Pop a few on the dashboard to prevent moisture build-up that causes condensation on the inside of the windscreen. In winter, it will also help prevent freezing on the inside. May take a few days to become fully effective, so be patient.

Keep jewellery clean and shiny
Moisture leads to tarnishing and discolouration of silver. A couple of bags in your jewellery box will slow down the process.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: How I Managed Till I Got My Dream Job by vicostyles(m):
Equado:
This writeup has been on my mind for sometime but due to the nature of my job,I have been extremely busy. This writeup might be helpful to some of the unemployed youths who are currently jumping from one interview to another, or those who are wondering what next after school.
I graduated from the university about 3years ago, and as a normal Nigerian graduate, I sat at home submitting cvs from one company to another, hoping ill one day get my dream job. I submitted cvs day in, day out and gradually days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months. I gained weight and before I knew it,I felt myself rapidly aging, was looking far older than I was. The agenda for the day where the same, eat, games, sleep, eat, TV/games, sleep.If I needed money for anything I asked my mum, it was truly a nightmare, my mum took full advantage, in making me do menial house-chores which I so hated. Something has to change I thought.
I decided to go out and do anything I can to make money, so I started home lessons for my aunts children, she paid me 5k for two hours lesson, three times a week. I wrote an application to teach in one "dead" private school at a place far from me, I knew I would never be turned down due to my educational qualifications.So I landed my first ever job post school days, I was to teach 6 subjects(mathematics,geography,agric,biology,chemistry and physics) both for ss1 and ss2. It was a stressful job and the pay was just 16k, the transport from the school to where I stay was 4k per-month. Teaching at that school was soooo stressful, writing lesson notes for all those subjects, marking students notes and teaching. It was very stressful but I did the job diligently, My director recommended me to a man who was looking for a lesson teacher for his son, he paid 20k for 3hours a day, four times a week lesson. I was no longer depending on my mum for financial support and hence i stopped the house-chores I so hated grin .
Fast forward, I was one day preparing the js3 class for there upcoming junior waec one evening when i noticed a woman who looked very rich observing me from the window. She was inside her car passing by and heard me teaching and it caught her attention. She sent her security man to collect my number, was expecting her call but she never called. One month later, I received a call and it was her, she wanted me doing home lesson for her children, they where 3 in number. After much negotiations she opted to pay 80k for the 3 of them, at this time all my earnings combined was about 116k. I stopped doing lessons for my aunts children, was just focused on my two lessons and the school where I was teaching.
Fast forward, the woman I worked for was a talkative and I liked talking myself, each time am teaching her children and shes around, we talk about everything. She grew to like me, and in no short time it was like we've known ourselves for a long time. Her husband is a contractor to a big oil company and he wanted starting an oil servicing firm for his wife, due to the discussions me and his wife usually have, I got to know. She told me about the project and how they already have everything in place, just looking for the right personnel's. She needed a manager who would run the place, she told me about it and subtly asked me if I was interested since I read a course similar to what she wants. I quickly agreed, despite my lack of experience she made me the manager of the soon to start establishment.
It was all a dream, as the manager I was entitled to my own personal car, which she gave me from her and her husbands fleet of cars and my salary structure is now over 400k. We started the company, she brought in more experienced people but all of them are to call me "SIR''. I became boss to car owners, " Big Men" and during the 6months have been working there now have shook hands to highly important personalities. The first interview we conducted, I saw graduates trooping in, just to get this job, made me realize how far I have come in a short while, only because I decided to leave the house and get busy instead of jumping from one interview to another.
The company has done really well in this few months, our second recruitment exercise is tomorrow and its like have been here all my life. In reality March this year, I didn't envisage Ill be here so soon. Morals of this, to those graduates out there still waiting for big organizations to start recruiting,before leaving the house, please get out there and do anything, no matter how menial it might be, while doing it be diligent , cause you might never know when its your turn to break-free of the yoke that's unemployment .

PoliticsRe: "Probe Goodluck Jonathan Over Arms Deal" - His Ex-Political Adviser Tells Buhari by vicostyles(m): 5:10pm On Dec 17, 2015
TheophilusA:
Adamawa-born politician and former political adviser to ex-president Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, Ahmed Gulak has said the former leader should be probed for the looting of over $2 billion arms procurement fund. Speaking to journalists in Abuja yesterday, Gulak said, "Jonathan was misled, cajoled, messed up and put in complete darkness by a cabal in his government as far as the political process was concerned then. The revelation coming out (of the arms deal) was because there was no political experience. It was arrogance and impunity then. Jonathan did his best, but unfortunately, he cannot escape liability because the buck stops at his table. They misled him, they blackmailed him, they cajoled him and they put him in complete darkness as far as the political process was concerned then.




“Because he was the president and chief executive officer of the country, every act of his agents and officials, he must be bound by it whether he was aware of what they were doing or not. He is vicariously liable. We have seen the approvals by Mr President (Jonathan) for the purchase of arms and ammunition. The approval was clear, but we got to know that the purpose for which that approval was thereafter made was not in accordance with the approval. Although he (Jonathan) may be held vicariously liable, he was oblivious of what the cabal was doing. They were not with him, they were not working for his re-election, they were only working for their pockets. The probe must be done. It is not about PDP or APC. It is not about partisan politics. It is about Nigeria. How can I just transfer $1.2 billion to somebody’s account in the name of prayers? Did Goodluck Jonathan know all this? I don’t believe so”.

Dr Dre drops from the number one slot as American singer, Kate perry becomes highest paid musician in Forbes 2015. He dropped from the number one slot in 2014 to an embarrassing 28 this year. According to Forbes, the highest paid musicians of 2015 is Katy Perry, who earned $135 million, largely from touring.

Other names in the top 10 include One Direction, Garth Brooks, The Eagles, Calvin Harris, Diddy and Taylor Swift.


Katy Perry, who was ranked 23 in 2014, was almost certain to sit on the throne in 2015, after her highly successful 17 month ‘Prismatic World Tour’.

Despite Dr Dre’s release of a record that was a decade in the making, and a commercially successful blockbuster, it appears that art money isn’t worth as much as headphone money.

Dre sold his Beats brand to Apple for $3 billion last year and he pocketed over $600 million from the deal.

Jay Z and Beyonce collectively grossed over $100 million from their “On the Run” tour.

Despite his purchase of TIDAL, Jay Z’s diverse business endeavors earned him $56 million this year.

CelebritiesThe New Improved Selfie Stick by vicostyles(op): 11:40pm On Nov 20, 2015
[img]http://3.bp..com/-kynjX4MyPgo/Vk-eF6MWyLI/AAAAAAAAAW8/OhCcwbCo3FA/s1600/Selfie%2Bstick.jpe[/img]

A Japanese man named Mansun has invented a new contraption that’s supposed to be an improvement on selfie sticks. It’s called the ‘selfie arm’, and as the name suggests, it’s a super-long stick fitted with a fake hand.
Mansun said that he felt compelled to invent the device because he was too embarrassed to use selfie sticks in public.
But he might just have made things worse for himself, because selfie arms are way more ridiculous – they’re just selfie sticks concealed inside an altered shirt with extremely long sleeves and fake hands attached at the ends.
Thankfully, he isn’t planning to mass produce the device, but he’s provided detailed pictures for anyone who might be interested in making their own set of arms.
The photographs he posted online are bizarre, but Mansun seems happy to be walking around with two ginormous, creepy-looking fake arms hanging at his sides, instead of carrying a selfie stick. Well, whatever floats his boat!

HealthHealth Benefits Of Watermelon Seeds by vicostyles(op): 6:02pm On Nov 18, 2015
[img]http://4.bp..com/-3cYlqZrqtI4/VkoKR4KNuWI/AAAAAAAAAUc/uj20CVvsilk/s320/Watermelon%2Bseed.jpg[/img]
You might be accustomed to spitting them out as you eat — seed spitting contest, anyone? Some people just opt for seedless. But the nutritional value of watermelon seeds may convince you otherwise.
Watermelon seeds are low in calories and are nutrient dense. When roasted, they’re crispy and can easily take the place of other unhealthy snack options.
Nutritional Benefits
How much nutrition you reap from watermelon seeds depends largely on how many you eat. Because they’re small, you need to eat quite a few to get their considerable benefits. However, when you compare their nutritional value to that of other snacks out there, watermelon seeds come out far ahead.

1. Low Calorie
One ounce of watermelon seeds contains approximately 158 calories. That’s not much lower than an ounce of Lay’s Potato Chips (160 calories), but let’s take a look at what constitutes an ounce. There are approximately 400 watermelon seeds in a single ounce, far too many to eat in one sitting. By contrast, there are only 15 potato chips in an ounce, far less than most people would normally munch in one sitting.
A large handful of watermelon seeds weighs about 4 grams, which contains about 56 seedsand just 22 calories. Far less than a bag of potato chips!
2. Magnesium
One of several minerals found in watermelon seeds is magnesium. In a 4 gram serving, you’ll get 21 mg of magnesium. The FDA recommends adults get 400 mg of this mineral daily. Magnesium is essential for many of the body’s metabolic functions. It’s also required to maintain nerve and muscle function, as well as immune, heart, and bone health.
3. Iron
A handful of watermelon seeds contains about 0.29 mg of iron. It might not seem like much, but the FDA only recommends adults get 18 mg in their day. Iron is an important component of hemoglobin — carrying oxygen through the body. It also helps your body convert calories into energy.

4. Folate
There are 2 μ of folate in a single serving of watermelon seeds. The FDA recommends adults get 400 μ each day. Folate, also known as folic acid or vitamin B-9, is important for proper brain function and also works to control homocysteine levels. Women of childbearing years need even more, since folate deficiency has been associated with certain neural tubal birth defects.
5. ‘Good’ Fats
Watermelon seeds also provide a good source of both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids — 0.3 and 1.1 grams, respectively. According to the American Heart Association, these fats are useful in protecting against heart attack and stroke, and lowering levels of “bad” cholesterol in the blood.

The Takeaway
Watermelon seeds have many health benefits. Although the amounts of some minerals and vitamins within them may seem low, they are still far preferable to potato chips and other unhealthy snacks.

HealthUnpleasant Odour From Your Body And Breath Reveal Something About Your Health! by vicostyles(op): 2:36pm On Nov 14, 2015

You are pretty sure that you brush your teeth, floss and wash your mouth with a liquid but the bad smell remains… The situation is the same with your amrita and feet you’ve just come out of the bathroom, but the smell remains. The unpleasant smell has nothing to do with your hygiene but with your health.

Bad smell of v**ina – “Like bread”
It reminds you of freshly baked bread, but little unpleasant and do not comes out of the oven, but down there. This fragrance is derived from vaginal secretions that lost his balance, often as a result of an outbreak of fungal infections such as candida.
If this is the case, it is best to look at the clothes and avoid synthetic materials.

Bad smell of v**ina – “Scent of fruit’
You have the impression that comes scent of fruit from your bathroom. It is your urine that has more sugar; if this is your problem, it is best to consult a specialist, because the smell is emerging as a result of excess sugar in the urine, a sign of diabetes.
Bad smell of v**ina – “Fresh Fish”
According Natasha Johnson, this odor is due to the increasing number of bacteria in the v**ina. Mostly noticeable is when you have s*x or menstruation, and is accompanied by itching and redness. The most effectively way to treat is with oral antibiotics.
Unpleasant breath
If I could not get rid of this smell, you probably have sinusitis. It is a bacterium that causes inflammation of the sinuses and nasal cavities which are connected with the mouth and unpleasant odor appears.
In most cases the smell disappears by itself, but if this is your problem, probably for the best is start treating your sinuses with warm water; you will need to inhale every night to get rid of mucus.
Feet
The odor of feet is caused by bacteria and fungi that can heal only with adequate preparations.
Be mindful of your personal health and hygiene

PoliticsWhy 'suya', 'kilishi' Can Increase Cancer - W.H.O by vicostyles(op): 6:04pm On Oct 27, 2015
[img]http://2.bp..com/-hyVuS4RNXQM/Vi73D6qkroI/AAAAAAAAAEc/qNJ7tm2jF58/s320/Twitter-users-react-to-WHO-directive-that-Suya-causes-cancer.jpg[/img]
The World Health Organization (WHO) has revealed that Nigeria’s most patronized barbeque, Suya and Kilishi, can cause cancer.
This came to light in WHO's anticipated report on the link between red meat and cancer.
According to the report, which did not categorically mention Suya or Kilishi, stated that 50g of processed meat a day increases the chance of developing colorectal cancer by 18%.

A BBC report on Monday, October 26, defined processed meat as meat that “has been modified to increase its shelf-life or alter its taste – such as by smoking, curing or adding salt or preservatives”.
However, Suya is processed red meat, and when prepared, it is seasoned with salt, pepper and groundnut powder. Kilishi, on the other hand, is a drier version of suya.
The WHO report also said high temperature cooking on a barbeque can create carcinogenic – cancerous chemicals.
“For an individual, the risk of developing colorectal (bowel) cancer because of their consumption of processed meat remains small, but this risk increases with the amount of meat consumed,” Kurt Straif from the WHO said.
According to estimation, 34,000 deaths from cancer every year could be down to diets high in processed meat.
A professor from the Cancer Research UK and the University of Oxford, Tim Key, said; “This decision doesn’t mean you need to stop eating any red and processed meat, but if you eat lots of it you may want to think about cutting down.”
The Meat Advisory Panel added: “Eating a bacon bap every once in a while isn’t going to do much harm – having a healthy diet is all about moderation. Avoiding red meat in the diet is not a protective strategy against cancer. The focus should be alcohol, smoking and body weight.”

Car Talk5 Things To Checkout For When Buying A Used Car by vicostyles(op): 5:21pm On Oct 25, 2015
[img]http://3.bp..com/-NFpxZIt4e5o/VizwFPFYzlI/AAAAAAAAADM/1hadrdYmI-8/s320/used-honda.jpg[/img]
Though used cars do not come with guarantees, if you are patient and observant you will notice certain warning signs which will make you check other cars or perhaps another dealer.
So as to avoid buying cars you might regret, we have gathered 5 things to do when buying a used car;
1. Ensure you take the car on a test drive on both a local road and a highway so as to feel the performance of the car in both scenarios.

2. Make sure to check the interior upholstery carefully, along with any repairs to the exterior of the car.

3. Do a viable inspection for any leaking substances, any car that is leaking fluids is a red flag for a needed repair.

4. Have a mechanic to inspect and test the car again.

5. Check for reviews online on the make and model to uncover possible defects or common problems.

PoliticsDangote Refinery To Commence Operations In Lagos In 2018 by vicostyles(op): 3:13pm On Oct 25, 2015
The Management of Dangote Petrochemicals and Fertiliser Plant on Thursday assured Nigerians that its 650,000 barrels Per Day (BPD) capacity petroleum refinery would come on stream by 2018.
Mr Madhav Kelkar, Senior General Manager, Civil and Structural, Dangote Petrochemicals Ltd, a subsidiary of Dangote Group, made the announcement when he took newsmen on a facility tour of the plant located at Lekki Free Trade Zone, Lagos.
He said that when the refinery comes on stream; it would boost the country’s refining capacity and enhance industrialisation.

He said that construction work on the projects was expected to be completed by 2017 while refining operation would commence by 2018, adding that the projects would create job opportunities for Nigerians.
Kelkar said: "the 650,000 barrels per day capacity refinery will meet the 2018 deadline.
"As you can see, piling and land reclamation are going on. Sand filling is the most critical part of the project.
"A Belgium-based dredging company called Jande Nul is in charge of dredging and soil investigation.
"Assembly and coupling of equipment will take only a couple of months. I think we are making progress and I'm happy with what we have done so far.
"At the end of the day, every Nigerian will be very proud that we have the longest single train refinery in the world. That's the vision of Dangote.’’
Kelkar said that if the project is completed, Nigeria would be self sufficient in refining of crude oil.
He said that more than 2,000 Nigerians would be employed when the refinery commence operations.
He said that the petrochemical plant would produce 750,000 metric tonnes of polypropylene per annum while the fertiliser plant would produce 2.8 metric tonnes of Urea and Ammonia.

PoliticsBeware!!!!!......how Unarmed Robbers Now Operate In Banks by vicostyles(op): 1:37pm On Oct 24, 2015
Dear Friends, please be informed that unarmed robbers and conmen have eventually found their ways inside our once safe banking halls. On behalf of the banks that operate in Nigeria, we would like to advice you that on no condition should you give your cash and teller to anybody within the banking hall except the attending tellers and cashiers visibly seen over the counter.
No matter how crowded the banking hall may be, kindly exercise patience, do not be too hasty to jump queues and NEVER give your cash or teller to anyone posing as a bank staff. Only tellers and cashiers visibly seated over the counter are permitted to collect cash from banking customers. Criminals now parade themselves in the banking halls, portraying themselves as staff of the bank and robbing customers off their money. We have an extract of an incident that happened in a bank in Lagos, Nigeria involving a new generation bank and her customers.

“My Experience with an Unarmed Robber in a Banking Hall” I have this neighbor who sells foodstuffs. She travelled for the New Year so she instructed her relation who sells for her to pay in the money (about 130,000 Naira) she made since Monday into her Diamond bank account...
I was in the banking hall- Diamond Bank warehouse branch, Apapa when she walked in with the money in her bag. When filling her teller, someone asked her if she was paying in and she said yes. She later joined the long queue.
After thirty seconds, a young man dressed in corporate suit (pretending to be a cashier) came close to her and asked for people who are paying above 100,000 Naira. About five people stepped out and followed him a few meters away.
He collected their money and teller and asked them to wait on the line so he can go in and stamp their teller.....
Like play like play, the man left. They were waiting not knowing that he had left the banking hall with their over 650,000 Naira.
It was later that they reported, the bank manager even came down.......he checked the cctv footage and behold, the gentle man in suit was neither a cashier nor a worker in the bank.
Just like that, he stole over 650,000 Naira. The security guard said it was the third time it was happening in that branch...

In 1973. Gen. Yakubu Gowon (pictured) was the then Nigerian Military President. He is seen shaking hands with baby Justin Trudeau – the son of the then Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Elliot Trudeau.
Now, in 2015, Justin Trudeau is the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, and he is the new Prime Minister. That is progressive! That is Change!!

But in Nigeria, we are still having recycled leaders attempting to rule and dictate to us. When will they let young, vibrant and intelligent men…the youth of today…contest in a free and fair election?
