Business To BusinessRe: Nairalanders How Is The Market For Mobile Phone Accessories Cases by walcott(op): 7:03pm On May 18, 2010
Hello Everyone,

We want to know if there is a market for MOBILE phone accessories (Cases) in Nigeria. If there is, what is the level of patronage from Nigerians? We specifically want to know about the blackberry mobile phone which we understand has become a hit among ladies in the country and we would like to know if it will be worth it to introduce an accessory to that effect. We are referring to the case also known as the carrier or the protector. Thanks as we await your responses.

FashionHow To Become A Model by walcott(op): 1:02pm On Jan 06, 2008
How are models discovered?


Everyday someone notices eyes, bone structure, the planes of a face, or a great look. The words "You should be a model" are heard and a path may start. With stars in their eyes they start a path which will have all the feel of a roller coaster. A hard climb feeling of success and lows.

What next?


Here are my recommendations. These are based upon my personal interviews with fellow models, my readings, and what I believe it takes to succeed in this field. Read them. Think about them. Combine these thoughts with other articles on this and other sites and then plan your modeling career. You will find authors will different viewpoints and definitions. Also get updated about modelling on

www.wantedentertainment..com

Does that mean that one person is wrong or mis-leading you? Not necessarily. We all have different experiences and thus we developed different perceptions. It is my hope that when you have completed your studies you will find a concensus and have a plan which works for you. You are an individual who lives in your particular part of the world and with your limitations. There is no one formula.
Overnight success stories are rarely true. Someone may seem to rocket to the top overnight but you can rest assured that it was not an accident. Every career has its own demands and unique sacrifices. Most aspiring models don't realize there is a lot of work involved and they get frustrated when things don't move quickly. If you are informed and you have a plan you will be better prepared for the roller coaster. You need to be physically, mentally and emotionally prepared for what this career will take. It is critical to understand the industry as a whole and in your part of the world to succeed in this career.

PoliticsFg Bows To Labour Demands, Reduces Fuel Price, Vat by walcott(op): 6:04am On Jun 19, 2007
HAVE U GUYS HEARD THIS!!!

http://www.punchontheweb.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art200706192184393

The Federal Government on Monday moved to avert a nationwide strike by bowing to the demands of the Nigeria Labour Congress and other unions.

Skip to next paragraph

Sam Adeko
Joint Press meeting of Labour Leaders on the impending strike

The government reduced the pump price of the Premium Motor Spirit (Petrol) from N75 to N70 and directed that the price of kerosene be reverted from N64 to N54. The price of diesel had been fully deregulated.

It also reverted the increase in Value Added Tax from 10 per cent to the old rate of five per cent.

With the concessions, which were announced by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Ambassador Baba Gana Kingibe, the NLC, Trade Union Congress and Joint Action Forum may call off their planned nationwide strike.

Labour had before the announcement by Kingibe said on Monday that the strike would begin on Wednesday.

The SGF said at a news conference in Abuja at about 9.30pm after a meeting with the President of the NLC, Mr. AbdulWaheed Omar, and other union leaders, that the government had also agreed to implement a 15 per cent salary increase with effect from January.

On the sale of the Port Harcourt and Kaduna refineries, Kingibe said the government asked the labour unions to “go and discuss with the Bureau for Public Enterprises.”

He said, “We have asked the labour leaders to discuss with the BPE on contentious labour issues associated with the sale of refineries and Egbin Thermal Power Plant.”

Kingibe added that the government’s decision to make concessions was not borne out of threats by the labour unions.

He said, “The government is not insensitive to the plight of Nigerians.

“These decisions were taken by the government because it felt they were light and not in response to labour.

“The government invited the NLC and TUC to a meeting this morning and was going to make these decisions known to them but they failed to turn up. They went ahead to make the announcement about their strike.

“We resumed negotiation this afternoon and we conveyed the position we would have told them in the morning. We will resume this negotiation later this (Monday) night or tomorrow morning (Tuesday).

“The essence of the negotiation was to accommodate each other and arrive at what will be mutual to each other.”

A statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media, Mr. Segun Adeniyi, said the concessions underscored Yar’Adua’s inaugural address on May 29, 2007.

The statement reads in part, “Government wishes to assure all Nigerians that it is well aware of the hardships being currently experienced by ordinary people in the country and is fully committed to doing everything possible to improve their living conditions.

“This resolve was underscored by the President in his inaugural address on May 29 this year when he said, ‘Let us join together to ease the pains of today while working for the gains of tomorrow.’”

The labour leaders refused to respond to government overtures on Monday night. They said they would review the government offers on Tuesday.

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria and the National Association of Road Transport Owners have already indicated that they would no longer participate in any nationwide strike.

The two unions said they were pleased with the decisions of the government.

The leader of the Joint Negotiating Team, who is also the President of NARTO, Alhaji Lawal Isa, said in Abuja, “We (NARTO and IPMAN) are set to call off the strike.”

The NLC, TUC and JAF had told journalists on Monday in Abuja that they had no option than to embark on a strike since all entreaties to the Federal Government, including a letter to President Umaru Yar’Adua, yielded no positive response.

The NLC, the TUC and JAF also directed that airports, seaports, banks, filling stations, offices and markets must be shut during the strike.

Besides, transporters and schoolchildren were advised to stay at home for their safety.

The NLC had on June 5, 2007 given the government a 14-day ultimatum to reverse the increases in the prices of petroleum products and the Value Added Tax.

They also threatened to embark on strike if the government failed to nullify the sale of the Port Harcourt and Kaduna refineries as well as the Egbin Power Plant in Lagos to private entities.

Apart from this, they asked the government to implement a 15-per cent salary increase for workers with effect from January 1, 2007.

A meeting between the government representatives and the labour leaders on Friday over the contentious issues ended in a deadlock.

Addressing journalists after the Monday meeting the President of the NLC, Mr. Abdulwaheed Omar, said that the congress tried its best to prevail on the Yar’Adua government to reverse the anti-people policies of the Olusegun Obasanjo administration.

Omar recalled that after the meeting between the government and the labour leaders, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation said that a litre of fuel would still be far above its current price.

He said, “The NNPC arrogantly went on air to say that fuel prices will rise to N230 per litre and that even if Nigerians go on strike and mass protest for 10 years, nothing will change.

“What we witness is a government desperately trying to claim paternity of the Obasanjo regime’s policies. Nigerians can no longer continue to suffer in the midst of plenty. They can no longer live under sub-human conditions.”

Omar warned that any bank, filling-station or office that defied the directive of the NLC would be responsible for its action.

He advised parents and guardians not to send their children and wards to school as teachers had given commitment that they would not teach.

He said, “Schoolchildren should, therefore, not be allowed to roam the streets as that may be unsafe.”

Despite the Senate on Monday said it would hold talks with the labour leaders at the NLC headquarters in Abuja at 10am on Tuesday(today).

The Deputy Leader of the Senate, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, made the Senate position public at a news conference in Abuja.

Ndoma Egba said, ”We are here to let you know that the Senate feels very concerned about the labour crisis. We are meeting at the leadership level to discuss the demands of labour and we have agreed to meet with labour tomorrow(today) by 10am.

“Apart from that, we want to register our gratitude for the window of opportunity given by labour in the resolution of this crisis by extending their deadline by another day. We are thankful to them and we hope that we will fully utilise that window to avert the impending crisis.”

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mrs. Patricia Etteh, told newsmen in Abuja that the House and the government were working on ways to resolve the impasse.

She said, “The government and the legislature are putting heads together to ensure that the stike does not go on. They should give us a chance to see how we can iron things out amicably. I believe in dialogue; there must be a meeting point.”

Hi Walcott,

This is Samantha Stevens, author of several metaphysical
books and devotee of the Zohar and Diamond Path Buddhism.

My friend Blair Gorman, with whom I
share an enthusiasm for numbers, has invited me to conduct
a special e-course with you over the coming weeks that
teaches you how to master the ancient science of
numerology.

The beauty of numerology is that you don't have to be
a special master, guru or possess psychic talent in order
to become a numerologist. In fact all you really need to
know is your birthday, full name and how to add!
It is the simplest do-it-yourself divination method
that you could ever learn

In the following days we are going to teach you the following
basic concepts:

* How to familiarize yourself with each number by getting
up close and personal with the KEY traits associated with
each.

* How to determine your life path number.

* How to use your full name to determine your Expression
number.

* How to use the vowels in your name to determine your
soul's purpose.

* How to use the consonants in your name to divulge your
inner dreams and maximum potential in life.


In addition you will learn through using charts and
worksheets:

* How to determine at roughly what age you enter
major life cycles and how they will impact your life.

* How to determine what your personal year is and how to
take advantage of this period of time so that you can
make optimum use of the blessings offered during this
"window of opportunity."

* How to use numerology to detect your life's challenges
and personal weaknesses.

* How to use numerology to find reveal practical challenges
you can expect in the future.

* How to divine your karmic number which will tell you
about your particular strengths and challenges as you
travel along life's paths.

* How to find the essence of your name (also known as your
transits) to find out your true focus for periods that
demarcate the phases of your life.

* How to find the four pinnacles of your life and at what
ages these important periods, which are the equivalent
of the Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter of your life, will
occur.

* How to determine your Planes of Expression Numbers which
tells you to what extent you are an adaptable, grounded
or creative personality and whether or not your personality
is centered more in your mental, physical, emotional or
intuitive spheres of being.


Finally the course will wrap up with a practical template
that shows you how to do a reading for another using all of
the information you have learned in the course.

For those of you who are not familiar with numerology at all
here is a brief recap:

Numerology is based on mathematical formulas that have rarely
been tinkered with over the ages. The theory is that every
name and every birthdate can be reduced down to a single number.

These numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 22.

Each of these numbers is reduced down to a single digit.
This reduction of a name down by omitting vowels or consonants
to a symbol is a contemporary way of making a sigil.

In this case the sigil is usually a single digit number that
represents different aspects of a person's character and destiny.

The only numbers that do not reduce down to a single digit
are the master numbers. Double digits indicate personalities
that are master numbers, meaning that they are the teachers
and builders in society. In fact, I am not surprised to find
myself introducing you to this course because my own birth
name reduces down to a 22!

These numbers suggest a potential for a high degree of
achievement but if you are one, you often experience a very
difficult or stressful life path. Master numbers also have
what is called a parallel number. For instance, the number 22
reduces down to the number 4 which means that along with my
daily epiphanies come the usual practical and mundane daily
chores!

Although numerology has been practiced for centuries, in
modern times it really does have some practical applications
particularly if you are interested in some psychological
self-investigation.

It can also be used to predict high and lows in your life as
well as determine what makes you (and others) tick.

Perhaps its greatest value is in its capacity to help you
assess your personal strengths and weaknesses as well as
provide you with an intuitive snapshot of another person's
traits.

At the very least, learning numerology is an amusing parlor
game; at it's most it is a revelatory metaphysical science
that can provide you with great insights and maybe even a
way of making a living!

Until next time ,
