You guys are the best. I bought the 750mb plan tonight. There wasn't any delay..#

Please, I want to patronize you, how am I going to go about it? Would I call first, or should I send a text instead. After, would I transfer the credit to your line, or should I just transfer the credit without calling/texting.

Lordseyad:
200L fresher or Returning student.

If na d former, it isn't a mistake.. but if it's the latter na Mistake

He is returning..! I was surprised as well#

adeboy95:
are you a staylite in DAT department?

I'm a stalite in the faculty. Electrical/Electronics Engineering to be precise..#

adeboy95:
pls NL Guys... av neva met my course mate even on FB... Does DAT mean day admitted just few... BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING ( DE) day nneva clear me sa ooooo

You not the only one. The department is new, they admitted less than 10(can't actually remember) last year...#

A friend of mine checked his portal to view his current charges, he was agitated when he saw a whooping sum of 77k+, please is this a mistake from comsit? He is a 200l physics student.

Enoquin:
Followed the first news half way but got all the vital info.
I am happy she got a new website and has learnt some lessons BUT Linda needs to attend Management courses. She needs to keep trying to be a better business woman by getting her skills honed.

I went to the new website (takes long to upload) because I read here that she published the personal conversation between Aye Dee and herself.
Whoever told her to publish that conversation needs to have their head (s) checked and for agreeing to publish it and doing that, Linda has shown that she really needs to grow.

Mr Aye Dee according to the info claimed not to be working alone but in cohorts with partners, claimed to have sent her emails regarding his (their) content which she used and due to her non reply was accused of bias and so decided to do what he did. Now, the problem seem to stem from the fact that she didn't reply his e-mails and he 'conveniently' forgot to use their regular channel to reach out.
That's enough to make any person not 'lol' as Linda appeared to be doing and 'you made me woman of the year' phrase that kept popping up.

This is where Linda should have focused even Aye Dee advised that. I see a lot a calculative person would have done with such info but definitely not publishing the conversation.
Politics abound everywhere; church, school, work, family, business etc. That personal conversation should have been used 'privately' to her advantage.
She also lacks 'emotional intelligence' as can be seen from the conversation.

Linda, please try and get several writers not just one.
Try and get a lawyer and a publicist, stop getting business decisions from friends and family members because they will always think with emotions. Get a P.A to answer mails, so that important mails don't pass you by.
I read on one thread that she encourages her readers with freebies, she should extend that to freelance writers and photographers.
Please, continue trying to hone your business skill. There are online courses, take them; if you cannot attend class physically. You will be better for it.

I tot I was the only person that noticed the loling and the way she chatted, 'so immature'.. There is something to it than this she is not saying..

Some lecturers would start to narrate their experience in a lab in malaysia, new york, dubai. Is that our business. I heard of a professor in my school that would insult you telling you that in your entire generation, 'ko si eni to ka iwe to mi' i.e no one in your generation has a higher level of education like him..#
If you sit on the bonnet of some lecturers car, you are dead...#

PrinceAdepoju: Wow. Senior of life. All of you wey go supply our needs don plenty oo.
I go just jam you for road say, "senior, give me #500 I wan drink water"

Thanks again, bro#

Lol... Water? 500naira?

Hmm... She's beautiful, her husband would be a luck man#

PrinceAdepoju: Seeing your quote reminded me of you, bro.
I really appreciate this.

Are you a senior already?

Lol Senior keh.. By God's grace I'm a returning 200l student.. Congrats again#

I just started developing this habit of reading few months ago, I have only seen a little improvement in my communication skills. I want it to improve drastically.
Again, I also discovered that reading builds up your mind and enables it come up with constructive opinions and ideas, it makes one think logical.
I need your advice, what genre of book would you enable someone who wanna have a very sound and mind blowing communication skill like Patrick Obahiagbon read..?

Congrats bro! I can vividly remember you from last years thread...

PrinceAdepoju: This came late but, it's better than being late. Please, take your time and read my little story.

I've been following this thread from day 1. Infact, I was on the last year's thread.

I promised myself that my first comment here will be my admission testimony. And now, here I am, commenting my testimony.

I gained admission too. After 3times of writing Jamb and post-utme(at both Unilag and Unilorin).

I was beginning to think my scores in Jamb and post-utme will be a waste like that of the previous years.
But, all thanks to God, I got my admission message early friday morning(6:33am precisely).


The lesson is, be patient as you work hard. Your time will never go pass you. It will come. Trust me, your time will come!!

I have a friend in Unilorin. We finished together at the same secondary school, now, he's in 300level. And I just gained admission. So? That was his time, now it's my time!

So many friends of mine are students of OAU, UniOsun etc. I didn't die cos of that.
Though, the worry will come. That feeling of being inferior will come.
But, trust me, you will overcome!!


You are not admitted this year, doesn't mean you will never go to a University.
I got double admission this year.(Unilorin and Mapoly) And I didn't know the smallest ant in both institution!

You can imagine me reading a week to my Jamb exam and I had 254. Why? 'Cos it is my time!!
Like seriously, I can't remember preparing fervently or reading for my post-utme and I had a 76%

I'm not telling you not to read. I'm telling that, when your time comes, you need not to stress yourself. Everything will be at ease. Yes, I mean very easy!!

Don't fret. Don't worry. Don't be down. Don't hate yourself. Don't feel inferior.

Instead, buckle down and do something to keep you busy. I learnt graphics and designs during my waiting. Keep yourself busy too.

There's something you don't have, that God wants you to take along with you. Is it maturity or experience? Until you get that, you're going no where.

Your time is near. Be calm and patient! And Patience is not the ability to wait, but what you do while waiting!!

Wait for your time, dear!!

mattAR: Some pple are seating down in their parlor or where ever they are crossing their legs and typing "i've not yet been cleared o, fingers crossed i will be cleared soon" hmm seat down there and be waiting 4 unilorin 2 clear u, don't u know u av 2 go to your department in school and start ur clearance procedure.

If you aren't cleared online, you wouldn't be able to do anything in your department, because you aren't even certain that's the department you would be cleared to neither do you know who your level advicer would be. So just chill and calm the anxiety..

Opey4luv: Those private hostels of 90K, can there be two occupants?
Are visitors also allowed?
Instantaneous reply needed!

The price is 180k, you and your rummate are to share it by 50% i.e 90k each. Visitors are allowed only into the common room..

Not everybody is gonna make it through school. Because someone you know didn't make it through school doesn't mean the same would apply to you.. But it's better you go to school and get your cert first.

Anyone here knows how I can identify a fake sunshade. I'm thinking of getting one soon..and i don't wanna buy fake.

Please how do we know if the atm is ready. And also what are we to go to the bank with?

MEILYN: Happy nonsense birthday ...... See body Guards everywhere. Bunch of thieves. Men of Satan seen as men of God. God go judge ona shaaaa.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen,
disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.


2 Peter 2:1-3 ESV
But false prophets also arose among the people, just as
there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly
bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who
bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them
the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

Matthew 7:15 ESV
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

When you start seeing a pastor defending riches and affluence, then you better flee from such pastor.

The same bible told us not to Judge. You have a backward way of thinking. The fact that I'm a christian doesn't mean I shouldn't prosper in wealth. If my God owns the whole universe, then why should I be wallowing in abject poverty. It is an error.
Fine, he preaches prosperity, that is his line of ministry. There are many christian whose eyes have being shrouded to the fact that God wants them to prosper, we need people like this to crave their indulgence..

toba: The funny thing about the show is that, its the viewers or fans that votes and do so most times bases on sentiments and not necessarily on merit.

If you missed the top 4, nothing for you. All you get is the clothes, accommodation and feeding during the competition.

what is now the point wasting my time for 2 months when I could have achieved alot that would earn me enough cash during that period if devoted to what I'm doing. Guess Emeka didn't have enough Rich Gang to vote him unlike others. It was obvious during the visiting day..#Ruky's visitor#

akeem0502: Emekus, sorry, talking about talent or voice he did not have as much as the top 4. He wanted to play the sympathy card when his mother came to the house and he was telling his mum that he has not paid school fees on camera, what's our f**king business if he hasn't paid his school fees?
Good for him

Guy naah... Why you lack human empathy bayii..?

On what criteria where the winners picked to those that watched? Those who didn't win anything, would they be compensated? I'm feeling for them..

On what criteria where the winners picked to those that watched? Those who didn't win anything, would they be compensated?

macof: In other words, you live a miserable life and your god made it so

Lols. My Life isn't miserable. My God detest mediocrity. Living a sin free life does not only gurantee me a ticket to heaven, it gurantees me a life of impact here on earth. We may not be listed among the world richest, but we are contended with what we have, it's not like as if we are settling for less. He supplies all my need according to his riches in Glory in Christ Jesus...

As a single guy living alone in his hostel in school, do you expect me to cook when I get home after sitting for almost 6hrs in a lecture room. It's tiring. The best option is to branch a bukateria when broke. But if I've got little change, Sis Biggs or Item7 will do.. Nah girls dey get time to cook jare..

AlfaSeltzer: I hope you realise that love peddler have different meaning on nairaland.

I don't want to know the nairaland meaning..#

macof: And how different is ur life from that of a Muslim?

If ur god is the true one and others are false, how come Christians aren't the greatest people in the world?

Rubbish!

Because we xtians are not after material things, we have a reward greater than what the earth can offer. That is what our heart is fixed on. What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world but loose his soul. We should be more focused about our eternal destination than the temporary euphoria life enbodies..#

AlfaSeltzer: xtian god, the love peddler.

You can say that again... My God is Love. If I say he is the definition of love, it's an understatement..

tartar9: and you will be roasted for ETERNITY in Hell,how loving.

It's optional.. You have the choice to make.. Either you are for him or against him..

John 3:16 says, 'For God SO love the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have eternal life'. The only thing you have to do to avoid going to hell is to believe in the Son Jesus.
Everybody can make heaven if they want to. But so many people have been so blinded by Ignorance.
