Nairaland GeneralFather Reports Yahoo-yahoo Son To Efcc After He Bought House Valued Over 2 Milli by youngdav(op): 1:03am On Oct 19, 2018
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Kaduna Zonal office has investigated a case of conspiracy and theft reported to the Commission by an exceptional father.

The father (name witheld) in April 2017 became a whistle blower after his son (then a secondary school student) intimated him that he had bought a house and a shop valued over N2 Million (Two Million Naira) only.

The information of the purchase shocked the father beyond his imagination as such he decided to make a formal complain to the Commission having perceived signs of fraud from his son’s explanantion of how he got the money.

His son, Adamu, said he got the money through his phone line which after purchase he began receiving alerts running into millions of Naira.

Investigations into the matter began immediately and all parties involved were invited accordingly and their statements were taken as the principal accused person mentioned two other accomplicies in the crime.

In the course of investigations, it was discovered that Adamu withdrew monies in bits from a First Bank account number 3033389599 owned by one Porong Daniel Nash (a farmer in plateau state); and credited same to different accounts.

Consequently, all accused persons where arrested and recoveries were made to the tune of N939,000 (Nine Hundred and Thirty Nine Thousand Naira) only of which same was returned to the rightful owner by the Zonal Office.

LiteratureEpisode 2: Shattered Hope (#diary An Abused Wife) Written By Mercy Okusun by youngdav(op): 1:03am On Oct 08, 2018
Three months later. We have been married for over two months now and — I just found out I’m pregnant, the obvious result of the incident. God, I feel so ashamed. My voyage as a wife has been bumpy and humiliating.

He repulses me now, every time he tries to touch me I feel like throwing up — the baby could be the reason behind it though. I dread telling him about my pregnancy because I don’t know how he would react. He usually has this spell of black moods, it is ill-advised to go close to him when he is in that mood.

He has been possessive ever since we got married, sometimes, he is charming and attentive. He thinks I would go file a complaint at the police station or human right activist. I chortled at that thought; who would believe a husband raped his wife? You are shocked too, right?
I burst out in laughter before realizing I was in the conference room with some potential clients, I blinked rapidly and the laughter died down suddenly as I felt curious eyes on me. This was not the time to unleash my domestic problem, I realized. I cleared my throat and gathered my thoughts into the domestic folder in my head. I smiled at my clients to ease the tension and curiosity buzzing within the conference room.

I know as you read this, you are wondering who I am.
My name is Adeola Janet Adeola, now Mrs. Adeola Janet Coker. I am married to one of the youngest CEO in the country. Olanrewaju Coker is his name. Lanre, as he is popularly called, is the only son and child of Senator Coker and Mrs. Coker. I smile wistfully as I reminisce a little about the man I fell in love with. Lanre is over 6 ft. tall, with alert light brown eyes. He has a pointed nose which suits his long face and naturally red colored bow lips which compliments his fair skin. His black curly hair gave away his Caucasian descendant. I can’t decide if it was love at first sight, especially with the circumstance. Most ladies wish to be in my position, I would gladly trade my position as his wife with any lady. I never
wish to relive the incident. The incident which has led to a pregnancy — wanted or unwanted?

I sigh mournfully, the darkness of the incident threatens to swallow me. How do I broach the subject with him? Would I find him in a cheerful mood tonight? Does he have to know? Or should I keep the secret to myself, but for how long?
I resolve within myself to tell him…he has to know.
Tonight.

LiteratureStory: Shattered Hope (#diary Of An Abused Wife) Written By Mercy Okusun by youngdav(op): 2:58pm On Sep 27, 2018
Episode 1
The proposal came unexpectedly, I am still reeling from the proposal shock. I can’t believe it…I choose not to believe it. The white gold engagement ring, which felt heavy on my finger, is the stark proof that he did
propose to me.
My younger sisters have been “ooh-ing” and “aah-ing” over the engagement ring. If only they knew! It has indeed been a night of utter surprise, who knew a date night would turn into a proposal night. My mother can’t stop beaming, as her first child and daughter, she is excited to know that I am getting married. As I stare at her smiling face, it dawned on me that I haven’t seen my mother smile in a while,
since she lost her husband, my father. Her infectious laughter threatens to contaminate me, but I refuse to celebrate in this sham engagement. My mother noticed I wasn’t smiling, she raises her eyebrow in question at me, and I shrugged in reply. I gave her a little smile and looked down at my finger where the ostentatious ring rested. The ring seems to be mocking me, it seems to say: this is the price for your silence.
The humiliation burns as the images threatens to erupt, I close my eyes to prevent it. I am not strong enough, the images spills from my memory and flashes across as tears rolled down my face.
“Deola” I heard my mother’s soft worried voice call out to me.
“Are you alright?” she asked in concern, I opened my eyes and our gazes locked. I saw concern in her brown eyes, she looked worried and scared. I parted my lips to speak, but no sound came forth.
How do I explain? How do I tell her? I asked myself these questions as her worried eyes roved over my face. My younger sisters had been alerted to my present state and I watched their happiness dim slowly.
“Sister Deola, are you alright?” Bisola, the youngest, asked. I sighed and closed my eyes in shame.
How do I tell them?
How do I tell my mother that her future son-in-law… Raped me.

Nairaland GeneralMeet 26-year-old Nigerian Highest Paid Robotics Engineer In The World by youngdav(op): 1:17pm On Sep 19, 2018
A 26-year-old Nigerian, credited for building the world’s first gaming robot, Silas Adekunle, has become the highest paid in the field of robotic engineering.


Adekunle achieved the feat after signing a new deal with the world’s reputable software manufacturers, Apple Inc.

The robotics engineer was also named as “Someone to Watch in 2018” by the Black Hedge Fund Group.

Adekunle is currently the founder and CEO of Reach Robotics, a company developing the world’s first gaming robots.

He also recently graduated with a first class degree and has four years’ background in robotics.

Born in Lagos, Adekunle studied in Nigeria before relocating to the United Kingdom as a teenager.

After completing his secondary school education, he proceeded to the University of the West of England where he graduated with a first class degree in Robotics.

In 2013, he founded Reach Robotics and developed a lot of experience on robotics within a space of four years.

Adekunle was also a team leader of Robotics In Schools programme, a programme which encourages and pays attention to students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

The programme encouraged him to develop robotics to make education more entertaining for STEM students.

In 2017 MekaMon, he released the world’s first gaming robot, with the special ability to customise the gaming bot to perform personalised functions.

The initial launch of Mekamon sold 500 bots, generating $7.5 million.

Following this feat, he received support from various organisations including London Venture Partners ($10 million) and Reach Robotics signed a deal with Apple securing exclusive sales in Apple stores.

“Impressed by the quality of his robots and their ability to show emotion with subtly-calibrated movements, Apple priced his four-legged “battle-bots” at $300 and has put them in nearly all of its stores in the United States and Britain.

Early customers skew towards male techies but a growing number of parents are buying the robots for their children to get them interested in STEM, Adekunle told Forbes in an interview this year.

Nairaland GeneralArticle:indesent Dressing, A Menace Among Nigeria Youths And The Way Out [by Ade by youngdav(op): 7:28pm On Sep 16, 2018
Indecent dressing has become a habitual act among Nigeria youths in fact the educated ones are not excluded, visit any institution in Nigeria you will be wondering if there is difference between literate and semi literate with their mode of dressing. This does not exclude the congregation of worshipers also with their aggressive mode of dressings.

You want to be a leader isn’t it? You are even among those shouting not to young to rule, but with these your indecent dressing manner do you posses what it takes to be a leader? Hell no, Stop saying “nobody is looking at me” many people are looking at you, since the way you dress is the way people will address you. Learn how to dress decently no one will ever elect a taunt as a leader.

If we agree that those who dress shabbily are semi literate what about you that you are educated, you have gotten award in NCE, OND, HND, BSc infact you are now a serving Corper yet you still dress indecently you put on rag that you call crazy jeans after you have served your father land for one year and you still jobless you need to check yourself it may be because of your indecent dressing because the way you dress is how people will address you and no one will ever want to employ a menace to work.

Hello beautiful lady, because every guy now calls you different sweet names is that why you dress half naked, your parents have corrected you several times but it yielded nothing, you said the world is now civilized, what does civilization has to do with indecent dressing just know that nothing last forever because the old women that you see today were once a young lady like you. So are you laying a a good or bad foundation for your own generation is now left for you to decide.

Rape has been one of the challenges Nigeria is facing presently and this can be culled from indecent dressing, men are easily aroused with what they see and when they can no longer control their emotions they commit rape in which has landed many in prisons and has made a lot of young ladies barren as a result of contraceptives to avoid the shameful pregnancy act of the rape, therefore its very important for parents to check their wards before they leave home because “charity begins at home.

Dressing shabbily does not makes you a man, zagging your trouser and exposing your dirty boxers doesn’t makes you a man what makes you a man is RESPONSIBILITY, don’t be surprised If you are harassed by DSS, SARS or the Nigeria police force they are not blind your mode of dressing is a point of attraction to them, so what do you expect when you dress like a cultist they will refer to you as “SUSPECT” even when you are innocent. If you’re a man and still wear earrings, what is the function of the earrings is it for fashion ? no it’s not that’s abnormal fashion. Nigeria youths be wise.

You call yourself student/graduate isn’t it ? but can we refer to you you as a student or a graduate with the way you dress?? You even dress to class to impress your course mates with an empty skull along the line you will say “one lecturer is molesting me , a lecturer is sexually harassing me” why won’t they harass you when you don’t know how to compose yourself In a decent manner. If you dress exposing your body no responsible man or woman will be impressed by such behavior.

Married men and women are also not excluded, In the name of fashion you see them dressing half naked and this has contribute to the increase rate of fornication and adultery in the country, if you are in this category it’s better you change before its too late because there is always reward for everything. Try to lay a good landscape for others that are following your footsteps.

In most congregation of worshippers nowadays you see men and women dressings you will be surprised if truly they are in the congregation to worship, in this category many men of God has fallen to this trap as a result of the indecent dressings from their Shepard’s. Your service is incomplete if you dress indecently to worship God, stop saying God only looks at the heart and not the body, because God looks inward doesn’t mean you should dress like a harlot to worship him.

When you see a doctor, lawyer, engineer you can easily identify them with their mode of dressing. So ask yourself “how will people identify me as with these my dressings” because the way you dress is how people will address you.

There is nothing wrong with taking pictures, but why would you concentrate the camera on your chest and buttocks, is it because you want people to know how big or small you breast weigh. Nowadays ladies will go swimming putting on pant and bra! fine but the problem is they still post all these nudity on social medias, when will Nigeria youths rise from all these menace in the name of civilization.

It’s high time Nigeria youths shun the habit of indecent dressing because it’s a disease and once it grows it is very difficult to control because it will have become an habitual act.

Don’t be intimidated with civilization or Nigeria economy rather be a good example for others.

May God help everyone of us

Nairaland GeneralI’ll Poison My Husband If Court Not Ready To Separate Us – Wife by youngdav(op): 12:23pm On Sep 14, 2018
A mother of three, Ronke Olanrewaju, has threatened to poison her husband if a customary court fails to grant her request for divorce.

The aggrieved wife had approached the Oja-Oba Customary Court, Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State, seeking divorce from her husband, who she described as abusive and violent.

Ronke told the court that her husband, Sunday Olanrewaju, beat her up anytime he saw her with male customers, adding that each time the police were brought in, he would boast that he was a prominent politician.

She said, “My lord, he also beat up my mother like a baby. Separate us now, or else, I will poison him. Each time I discuss business with male customers, he would beat me and say they were my lovers.”

However, the husband, Sunday, begged the court to sustain the marriage, saying his wife was like a mother to him.

The President of the court, Chief Henry Agbaje, fixed September 18, 2018, for ruling.

He said although the case required urgency because of the woman’s threat, it was also important to give room for reconciliation.

Nairaland GeneralProstrate Cancer! Precautions And Cure by youngdav(op): 5:46pm On Mar 06, 2018
The prostate is a golf-ball-sized gland that sits between the bladder and the penis. It secretes fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. Most older men have some cancer cells in their prostate glands. But because these cells usually grow slowly, they don’t cause symptoms or affect health in most men. That said, about 230,000 American men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year, and nearly 30,000 die of it.

Exactly why some men develop full-blown prostate cancer and others don’t is a mystery. But researchers have identified several factors that raise a man’s risk of the disease. These include:

Age. Older men are far more likely to develop prostate cancer than younger men.

Race. African-American men are more likely to get prostate cancer than other men, and to be diagnosed with more advanced-stage cancer.

Family history. A man whose father or brother has been diagnosed with prostate cancer is two to three times more likely to develop prostate cancer than a man who doesn’t have family members with the disease.

Lifestyle. Men who eat a lot of red meat or high-fat dairy products seem to have a higher risk of prostate cancer.

Treatments for prostate cancer include an operation to remove the prostate (prostatectomy) and radiation therapy. Both often cause side effects such as incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Since early treatment with surgery or radiation doesn’t necessarily “cure” the disease, and prevents relatively few men from dying from prostate cancer, more and more men are opting for a strategy known as watchful waiting or active surveillance. They and their doctors monitor the low-risk cancer closely and choose treatment only when the disease appears to make threatening moves toward growing and spreading.
Take adequate action to care for you prostate today.

Nairaland General“I Became A Billionaire Even Without A University Degree” — Folorunsho Alakija by youngdav(op): 2:30pm On Feb 22, 2018
Africa’s Richest woman, Folorunsho Alakija has shared details about her life, not so many people know of.. and according to her, she was able to achieve greatness in life without a University degree.

Folorunso Alakija took to Instagram to share this piece and she also opened up that she is the 8th child in her family of about 52 children.
She wrote:
“I would like to encourage you on my encounter with the Glory of God.
It happened almost 27 years ago when I gave my life to Christ at the age of 40 and my life has not been the same ever since, I pray your life too, will experience a total turn around.
I was born almost 67 years ago, into a large and illustrious polygamous Muslim family as number 8 out of 52 children through a father who had 8 wives.
Back then large families were common, but what was unusual was that I was one of the very first few Nigerian children who left it’s shores to go and study abroad at such a tender age of 7.
Even at that age, I knew I could not afford to let my family down cause I was seen as an ambassador.


My desire was to study law but my Daddy did not believe in investing in girls at that time.
Today, I have no university degree, but God’s glory lifted me up and I have received numerous Honorary Doctorate Degrees at home and abroad.

All of what you now see today has taken almost two and a half decades, so I am not an overnight success. On the contrary. Through God’s grace, I am a blood bought totally forgiven, absolutely redeemed, heaven bound child of God.
I have had to make sacrifices like everyone else, faced challenges but never given up.
I have not compromised myself, my values or my faith.
GLORY BE TO GOD.”

Nairaland General[A Must Read] How Vulcanizers In Nigeria Are Killing People Everyday – You Need by youngdav(op): 4:05pm On Feb 21, 2018
Notice!! Important Information To All Vehicle Users, From CNN.

Many people have been wondering what could be the cause of the incessant tyre burst accidents on Nigerian roads everyday.
The major cause is that we inflate too much pressure on our tyres. How did I know?
I was preparing for a long journey, and decided to changed some of my tyres. When I asked the vulcanizer the recommended Air pressure for the tyres, He said 50. I said alright, he should inflate it to 50 all round.When I got to where I was going, I was discussing with some people on the issue of the minister that died on the road due to a burst tyre and wonder what could have happened, because nobody could imagine a minister would be travelling with expired tyres as many would think is the major cause of tyre bursts.
A man (lived in US for many years) said that the major cause of tyre burst in Nigeria is that we inflate too much pressure in our tyres, he reminded us that each car has a specific recommended tyre size and pressure clearly written on it by the manufacturers.
*I was surprised and begged him to come and show me where it’s written on my car. To my greatest surprise, it’s by the drivers door which I enter everyday without noticing it.*
By the time we checked, the recommended pressure for my tyres is 32 and I just traveled with tyres on a pressure of 50 .
He took me round his compound and showed me that of the cars (which includes a jeep and a sienna), and the highest was 32. Some were even 29.
He further explained that tyres are made of rubber and expand at a high temperature. So, when you are travelling in the afternoon when the asphalt on the road is hot, the tyres tend to expand. If the pressure on the tyre is too much and wouldn’t accommodate the expansion, a burst is likely to happen at that time.
Pls check the recommended tyre pressure for your vehicle and others you know.
As many as possible Nigerians need to read this.
Keep Sharing till everyone is aware – Who knows? You might be saving a Soul.

Nairaland GeneralIf You Can Prove This, Then I Will Resign – Fayose by youngdav(op): 4:12pm On Dec 19, 2017
The Ekiti State governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has given the only reason he will resign as the governor of the state and according to him, he will step down if anyone can present evidence that he loaned N56bn as many claim.
This statement was made following claims that the State has borrowed a total of N56 billion since he resumed as governor of the state with a fresh N25 billion loan pending;

Fayose via his twitter handle wrote;

If they can present evidence that I borrowed N56bn, I will resign.’ “the only fresh loan taken by the government of Fayose was the N10 billion grant from the Excess Crude Account, which was released to all States for capital projects, N2.8 billion requested from Wema Bank to pay State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) counterpart fund out of which N1 billion has been accessed and N600 million for MDGs counterpart fund, which has been repaid.

Nairaland General[A Must See] The 9 Things That Are More Important Than Money (no. 8 Is The Most by youngdav(op): 3:34pm On Dec 19, 2017
We all know the value of having plenty of money, especially as entrepreneurs. But we also know there are people who started enterprises with no money, who went on to make fortunes. So how did they do it?
Elegance Nigeria brings to you guys the nine things that are more valuable than capital, things that can lead straight to your success.

I will be using a lady whose name is Toke as the subject of this article.

Check them out below:-



1. Time
Time is a treasure, the time you set aside not to be wasted, not to be given away. The time you set aside to be invested in something that brings value to the marketplace with the hope of making a profit, that’s capital time.

How valuable is time? Time properly invested is worth a fortune; time wasted can be devastation. Time invested can perform miracles, so invest yours.



2. Desperation
My friend and mentor Bill Bailey went to Chicago as a teenager after he got out of high school. And the first job he got was as a night janitor. Someone said, “Bill, why would you settle for night janitor?” He said, “Malnutrition.” His first job might have been night janitor, but he went on to receive the Horatio Alger award and become rich and powerful, one of the great examples of lifestyle that I know.

Desperation can be a powerful incentive when you say I must. You work at whatever you can possibly get when you get hungry. You go to work somewhere, it doesn’t matter where.


3. Determination
I have another friend, Toke, whose first major investment in her new enterprise was also desperation. She needed to feed her kids, so she invested $1 in something she believed in. That $1 was used to buy a few flyers so she could make a sale at retail, collect the money and then buy the product wholesale to deliver back to the customer.

First Toke said, “I must find a customer”, desperation. Second she said, “I will find someone before this first day is over”, determination. And sure enough, she found someone. Determination says I will.



4. Courage
If you’ve only got $1 and a lot of courage, you’ve got a good future ahead of you. Because humans can do the most incredible things no matter what happens, courage in spite of, not because of, circumstances.



5. Ambition
With courage, Toke made three or four more sales. And once she got going, ambition took over. She thought, If I can sell three, I can sell 33. If I can sell 33, I can sell 103. Toke was dazzled by her own dreams of the future.



6. Faith
At this point, Toke began to believe she had a good product, a good company. And then she started to believe in herself, Toke, a single mother, two kids, no job. My gosh, I’m going to pull it off! Her self-esteem started to soar.

Faith is an investment that cannot be matched. Money can’t touch it. What if you had a million dollars and no faith? You’d be poor. You wouldn’t be rich.



7. Ingenuity
The reason Toke is a millionaire today is because of her ingenuity, she put her brains to work.
Probably up until now, you’ve put about 1/10 of your brainpower to work. What if you employed the other 9/10? You can’t believe what can happen. Humans can come up with the most intriguing things to do.

What’s ingenuity worth? A fortune. All you need is a $1 and plenty of ingenuity. Figuring out a way to make it work, make it work, make it work.



8. Heart And Soul
Heart and soul is like the unseen magic that moves people, moves people to make decisions, moves people to act, moves people to respond.

What is a substitute for heart and soul? It’s not money, because heart and soul is more valuable than a million dollars. A million dollars without heart and soul? You have no life. You are ineffective.



9. Personality
My mentor Bill Bailey taught me, “You’ve got to learn to be just as comfortable, Mr. Rohn, whether it is in a little shack in Kentucky having a beer and watching the fights with my friend Winfred, or in a Georgian mansion in Washington, D.C., as the senator’s guest.”

You’ve got plenty of personality. You’ve just got to spruce up and sharpen up it, develop it to where it is effective every day, at home anywhere, no matter who you talk to, whether it is a child or a businessperson, a rich person or a poor person. It makes no difference to you who is rich or who is poor. It’s about the chance to have a unique relationship with whomever. Have the kind of personality that’s comfortable, the kind of personality that’s never bent out of shape. Move with ease, with charisma and sophistication and humility.
With $1 and this list, the world is yours. It belongs to you, whatever piece of it you desire, whatever development you wish for your life. It’s the kind of capital that is more valuable than money and that can secure your future and fortune. Remember that you lack not the resources.



Do you now agree there are things that are important than money?

Nairaland GeneralAllow Polytechnics To Award Higher Degrees, Federal Polytechnic Ado Ekiti Outgo by youngdav(op): 3:26pm On Dec 19, 2017
The outgoing Rector of the Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti, Dr. Theresa Akande, has said that the only way polytechnics can be at par with the universities is by allowing them to award higher degrees.
Akande said polytechnics in some Francophone African countries are allowed to award masters and doctoral degrees, adding that this accounted for why technology education is better in those countries than in Nigeria.
Akande spoke at a press conference held at the polytechnic on Monday marking the end of her tenure as the institution’s chief executive officer.
The former rector called on the federal government to rejig polytechnic education in Nigeria, so that the country could operate at the same level with other advanced countries that are making waves in the world of Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
“Francophone countries like Cote D’Ivoire, Guinea Bissau and Guinea were allowed to award masters and doctoral degrees. I have been there and saw it work, so Nigeria must adopt this because no country can grow in this modern days without better technological innovation,” she said.

Nairaland GeneralFor Ladies! 10 Things Beautiful Girls Do In The Evenings by youngdav(op): 9:28pm On Dec 18, 2017
We all want to look beautiful, but not all of us are prepared to put in the effort. So rather than waking up looking like a super model as we’d prefer, we wake up looking tired, distressed, and OMG WHAT ARE THOSE DARK CIRCLES DOING THERE!
When it’s time to hit the sack after another long day at work, the last thing we feel like doing is making the effort to look good the next day.

“I’ll fix my face in the morning,” we groan before flopping face down on the pillow, smearing our make-up.

Beautiful girls don’t do this. They don’t put off until tomorrow what can be done today. They put the effort in each night to make sure they take care of their health, their youth and their looks.

If you’re ready to look after your beauty by putting the effort in, here are 10 things beautiful girls do each evening.

They Take Off Their Make-Up

Ladies, we’ve all gone to bed wearing out make-up at least once in our lives. Especially after a night on the town, getting under the duvet with our masks on is just too tempting.

But it’s actually a really bad thing to do. You might not think it’s much of a big issue – but it is.

If you sleep in your make-up, you’re increasing the chances that your face is going to breakout in spots. Why? Because beauty products, when left on too long, will clog your pores.

There is another good reason to remove your make-up: If you leave it on, you’re basically going to bed with a face full of bacteria.
Not nice.

They Sleep On Two Pillows

If you’ve been sleeping on just one pillow all this time, it’s time to prop your head up with a second pillow. Why? Because this will help to prevent puffiness.

When you’re lying in bed, gravity can help with blood and lymph floor – but only if you let it. If you sleep with just one pillow, your eyes and face might develop fluids that leave you looking puffy for tomorrow’s date.

They Brush Their Teeth

We know, we know. You brush your teeth in the morning, once in the early evening and sometimes you brush them before bed.

But sometimes you skip a bedtime brush because your teeth actually feel alright. And anyway, you’ll brush them as soon as you wake up. So where’s the harm?

Not brushing your teeth at night means you’re going to bed with a mouth full of bacteria that clings to your teeth – and sticks there. Plaque forms, and eventually so does tartar. This can lead to gum disease, halitosis – and even heart disease.

Beautiful girls brush every single night, and they floss too.

They Do A Spot Treatment

Beautiful girls use a purifying mask to do a spot treatment in the evenings. In this way, they are targeting acne and preventing nasty breakouts.

They Moisturise

Beautiful girls don’t just moisturise here and there. Instead, they moisturise their whole body.

I do this myself. I put lotion all over my body each evening, and when I sleep the products soaks into my skin and does its thing, giving me a gloss, a shine and keeping my looking youthful and healthy.
If you don’t moisturise, you could end up with dry skin that turns hard and itches. This can stop you from having a sound night’s sleep, and it can also damage your self confidence.

They Sleep With A Humidifier

An air humidifier is well worth investing in if you want to stay looking young, beautiful and healthy. Beautiful ladies combine them with a barrier repair moisturiser, with the humidifier making your skin resistant to allergens and irritants.

Air humidifier’s also hydrate your skin overnight, preventing it from dying out and meaning tha you don’t have to moisturise the next day.

Humidifier’s can be noisy, so if you’re sharing a room it’s polite to ask for permission first.

They Wear Their Hair Down

Do you think it’s better to wear your hair down or hold it back when you sleep? If you answered the latter, we need to talk.

Holding your hair back is not a clever idea because the elastics will tear as you move around in bed, and this can harm your lovely but fragile tresses.

Worse still, you could easily wake up with tangles which are not cool at all (which you already know).

They Use Toners

Each night, beautiful girls use a toner to tone up their face. A toner makes your skin more resistant to micro-organisms and bacteria, and it resorts your face’s natural pH levels.

It also rides your face of pollution, dust and any other type of impurity.

They Don’t Wear Socks

Okay, sometimes your feet might get cold as you slip into bed at night. This is normal. But girls who want to hold onto their beauty know that some sacrifices have to be made. And going to bed without socks is one of them.

Socks in bed is cozy and they can help you to get settled. But they can also cause your feet to sweat, and sweaty feet is a breeding ground for bacteria and fungal growth.

Sometimes, it does get really cold at night but it’s important that you stay strong on this one.

They Get Lots Of Sleep!

“I’ll sleep when I’m dead!”

If you’ve overworked, you’ve probably used the above phrase. Maybe you’re the first one in the office and the last to leave. And before heading home, you hit the gym first. By the time you finally do crawl into bed it’s almost 1am and your alarm goes off at 6am.

Although living a fast-paced life can be exciting, it shouldn’t be a part of any girls beauty regime. Beautiful girls put their beauty first, and as such they make sure to get at least eight hours of sleep each night.

Lack of sleep can be the reason we develop dark circles around our eyes, and it can even leave us looking pale and weary.

Stay beautiful!

Jobs/VacanciesHow To Get A Banking Job In Nigeria by youngdav(op): 11:34pm On Dec 10, 2017
Banking job in Nigeria is a job for those who aspire to be the best in all they do, the environment in this industry is highly competitive. A moment of weakness on your part could place you on the sidelines. Being good on the job is not rocket science, it is something that happens with your commitment, passion and loyalty to the system.

But to be in contention for beating the competition, you have to get the job first; and that is the purpose of this article. From my personal experience, it cannot be said that getting employed by a bank is difficult or easy. The reason is because there are a lot of variables which compels banks to recruit.

Depending on the variable, which is never constant from year to year, it directly determines the processes involved and the duration of the selection exercise.

There are two major forms of recruitment obtainable in the industry, they are:

Executive Trainee
Experienced hire
Executive trainees are the sets of candidates comprising of fresh graduates not more than 26 years of age. A banking career in Nigeria usually starts from this level.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR EXECUTIVE TRAINEE HIRE

To be in position to apply for a bank job as an ET, you will have to possess the following requirements:

Should not be above 26years of age
Should possess a degree (BSc or HND) not less than second class upper
Gone through NYSC
Possess good communication skills
Smart and young
Now these are the basic qualifications for ET, if you possess the above requirements congratulations you have passed the first step. The second step is the unwritten requirements and this is where you have to do your homework. You have to prepare a great CV and a cover letter that will sell you better. Consider yourself as someone convincing and telling the bank what you are and what you can offer, the interview time does not last more than 10mins, but your resume and credentials stays in their possession after you are long gone, so how you arrange your CV and credentials represents you.
Remember to use professional email address for your CV, what I mean is using your full name in your email, not some odd and informal expressions like sweetchick@yahoo.com or john1986@gmail.com. Ensure that your date of birth dose not conflict, cross check what you have on your WAEC certificate with your birth certificate.

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION

There are different avenues one can submit applications, in this digital era all banks have a human resources page on their websites that accepts job applications. There are times were it has to be hard copy in designated branches. Again it depends on the need and the sense of urgency. The key here is to get the right information at the appropriate time.

THE BANK WILL CONTACT YOU

After submitting your application, it may take some time to be contacted by the bank for either aptitude test or interview. Either step that comes first depends on the urgency of the process. There are situations where aptitude test will be bypassed and it may just be series of interviews. Make sure your phones and emails are reachable at this stage.

THE TRAINING SCHOOL

After going through aptitude test and interviews, successful candidates are enlisted for the banks’ training school, every bank has a name for their training school, and it usually takes between 3 to 6 months depending on the bank.

During this period, the bank will train you on all their processes and duly equip you with requisite knowledge on how to beat the competition in the industry.
There are also series of examinations and written test in the school, failing any test or exam at any stage of the training may mark your exit from the process, which is why you have to be at your very best.

Successful completion of the program translates into a brand new career for you, that makes you an executive trainee (ET) of the bank and this is the starting level.

EXPERIENCED HIRE

The experienced hire in the banking industry is when a banker is switching to another bank. The process is not the same with the executive trainee, this is because they are already in the system with some years of experience.

The qualifications are:

Bachelors degree or HND (second class upper)
Additional qualification is an added advantage
Must have some years of banking experience
Must be cleared from the previous bank (integrity wise)
There may be other requirements depending on the bank, but these are the basic requirements for experienced hire. Successful candidates are usually placed one step above their current level but never below.

These are just my personal experience in the industry, and I hope it helps one step further in actualizing your dreams of becoming a banker. Congratulations in advance.

Romance10 Strong Reasons You Should Get Married In Your 30s, Not Your 20s by youngdav(op): 11:20pm On Dec 10, 2017
As written by someone who got hitched in both decades
Every time I see a young woman flashing her engagement ring, I want to grab her by the hand, sit her down, and counsel her.

It’s not that I’m against women getting married while in their 20s; I just know that marriage is so much better when you wait until your 30s. I’ve been there, done that, and conquered adversity.

I’m 34 years old and on my second marriage.

My divorcee demographics:

Met my future ex-husband: Age 25
Bling, bling, got the ring: Age 26
Got hitched: Age 27
Got ditched: Age 28
I’m proud of the fact that I got divorced in my 20s. It means I had the courage to leave my home, pick up the pieces, and start my life over when all my friends were getting married and having babies.

I could’ve stayed in an unhappy situation — spending every night sleeping next to someone who no longer wanted to be married to me — knowing I would never have the future of my dreams.

Instead, I chose to chase those dreams. And now, I’m living them.

I’m grateful for my “failed” marriage.

I prefer to refer to it as a learning experience because it led me to where I’m supposed to be: happily remarried, and mommy to a beautiful daughter and two fur-children.

I made my divorce a positive experience by uniting with other twenty-something divorcées to show them that they’re not lone wolves — we have a pack. I formed a private online support group, hosted local meet-ups, conducted interviews, and published a book: Trash the Dress: Stories of Celebrating Divorce in your 20s.

When my marriage ended, I made a list of qualities I wanted in a new mate, and luckily enough I found someone who meets all the requirements on my checklist. We got married when I was 32 years old, and I can say with confidence that this wedding dress will be preserved.
Marriage in your 30s is way better than in your 20s. Now that I have my happily ever after, I can’t imagine going through life with my ex-husband. Marriage works when you’ve found the right person.

But there are also advantages to waiting until you’re a little older to tie the knot:

1. By your 30s, you most likely have sowed your oats.

You’ve dated around, know what’s out there, and got all the bad boy lovin’ out of your system.

2. You’ve had enough time to recover from your first major heartbreak.

During my research, I found that many women got married because they thought they’d never find anyone else to compare to their first love, so they settled.

3. Your 20s are about self-indulgence.

You’re creating yourself. By your 30s, you know who you are and what you can offer a partner. You’re not going to outgrow each other.

4. With age comes maturity and better communication skills.

Instead of fighting over little things or pushing issues under the rug, you know how to address them.

5. You know what you want.

You’re not going to waste time dating someone in your 30s when you know it’s not going anywhere, so the partner you marry will be someone with whom you can have a successful future.

6. You’ve established self-confidence.

By bringing out the best in yourself, you’re enhancing your marriage.

7. By your 30s, you’ve hopefully learned how to manage money.Finances are a huge source of conflict for couples and a reason many young couples divorce. Who wants to spend all their nights fighting about cash flow?

8. You’re more secure in your career in your 30s.

This provides you the time and energy to focus on a marriage.

9. You’ve had time to live alone.

Either with a roommate or love interest, and you’ve become a responsible adult. You’re not learning this while adjusting to marriage.

10. You’ve found your voice.

In your 20s, you’re facing pressure from friends, family, and society to follow the norm. In your 30s, you have the courage to stand up for yourself. And that will lead you to where you should be and who’s supposed to accompany you on this life adventure.

Nairaland GeneralFraudsters Reportedly Sell Lagos Lagoon For N787million by youngdav(op): 11:32am On Nov 18, 2017
A US-based Nigerian businessman was dazed in Lagos, when land agents led him to the lagoon after the part-payment for 150 plots offered for N787.5 million.

Kennedy Chukwuemeka Nwabuoku told detectives led by DCP Abutu Yaro, at the Force Criminal Investigations and Intelligence Department (FCIID), Alagbon, how he had paid N577, 590, 792 in installments among other charges, plus another N18million for bush clearing in February, and how the agents were sending him pictures and videos of caterpillars in action at the purported site at Ifedele Agunbiade Village, Sangotedo, in Eti-Osa area of Lagos.
Nwabuoku told the police that he bought the unseen land with a foreign partner and had paid in fiduciary trust, sending monies on different occasions through his company, KenBouk Global Investment Ltd.
Identified as Emeka Okoronkwo and Michael Owolabi Alonge, the agents, according to Nwabuoku, had offered the land for sale at N5, 250, 000 per plot with Certificate of Occupancy (C of O).
NewsmakersNG learnt that members of Nwabuoku’s family in Nigeria who wanted to see the site were told that the land was in an area bought by prominent Nigerians like former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Oba Riliwanu Akiolu, and it was cordoned off so that ordinary citizens could not gain access.
When he became suspicious, Nwabuoku sent the C of O to a friend to verify, and the friend found that no such land or location described in the document existed.
He decided to visit Nigeria and inspect the land for which he had paid the property agent, Okoronkwo, who was identified as owner of Kings Court Realtors at Plot 321A, Akin Ogunlewe Street, Victoria Island.
When he was quizzed by the police on November 8, 2017, Okoronkwo allegedly admitted that he collected N603, 000, 000 for 100 plots, agency fees and legal fees through transfers to Kings Court Realtors’ accounts in two banks.
Detectives found that Nwabuoku transferred the monies in the following order over a period: N229, 000, 000, N86, 000, 000, N120, 000, 000, N41, 300, 000, N11, 291, 000, and N90, 000, 000.
They also found that the C of O given to Nwabuoku is a fake one, and that Alonge who introduced him to Okoronkwo “masterminded the fraud”.
According to the detectives, fictitious persons were listed in the Deed of Assignment that the suspected fraudsters also gave to Nwabuoku.
When Nwabuoku arrived and insisted he must see the site before further payments, Alonge allegedly took him to a location far inside a wooded area that led to the lagoon with canoes going back and forth.
“Mr Michael Owolabi Alonge started pointing around and towards the lagoon, as if he was not sure where the land is anymore,” Nwabuoku stated in his petition to the police.
When Nwabuoku, who had been given no receipt, asked for a refund, he said that the suspects had threatened to kill him if he fails to keep quiet on the transaction.
Detectives have completed their investigation and the matter has been charged to court with Sgt Morufu Animashaun as police lawyer.
NewsmakersNG learnt that Alonge is on the run.
There was an arrest warrant for Okoronkwo who allegedly received the payments, and he will appear in court on December 5.
The case is pending before Chief Magistrate (Mrs) Abimbola Komolafe of Magistrate Court 3, Igbosere, in Lagos.

Romance[A MUST SEE] 10 Good Reasons Why You Should Get Married by youngdav(op): 1:53pm On Nov 16, 2017
You are one of those people who think that marriage is a useless step in life.You think that life can be good minus marriage too.Then maybe you need to be aware of some good reasons as to why people get married. You are looking at substantial arguments to tell you that marriage is not that bad, after all. Here are some reasons that you should get married.
Reasons that why you should get married are:

1.You have a stable sex life: When you get married, you get the license to have sex with your husband whenever you want. You don’t have to feel guilty or ashamed about it, because both of you are in a happy, healthy relationship together, and having sex regularly is a part of it. Plus, with one loyal partner, there is no risk of STDs, as would be the case if you were single and having sexual encounters with various people.

2.You face low mortality risk: It has been proven by scientific research that married people are likely to have a longer life, as compared to single people. So if you love your life and want to lead a longer one, then marriage will affect your longevity directly. When you try and study this logic properly, you realize that marriage is the focal point to better health and wellness; as a result of which, people end up living longer.

3.You get lifelong companionship: Everyone likes to have that one stable friend to depend on for everything. With marriage, your husband becomes that stable friend for you. Irrespective of whatever good or bad happens in your life, he will be just a call away for you. And he too will never be able to move away from this position, because the bond of marriage will make him liable to be there for you, even if it means rescuing you from a road accident urgently, or leaving work to come wipe your tears when you’re in some problem.
4.Your standard of life improves: With marriage, your chances of moving out of a poor neighborhood to a better one increase. Moreover, since there are incomes of two people (you and your husband’s), focusing on one household, obviously your spending power and quality of life become better. Your husband too will take extra steps to get you good things because he will consider it to be his moral duty and responsibility.

.You get a new family: Marriage will make your husband’s family, your family. This means that you get a lot of new relationships to look at and enjoy. You enjoy the bliss of a bigger family, with more people to share your joys with. Festivals and occasions become more enjoyable, and there are more people who are concerned about your well being on a whole.

6.Your friend circle expands: When you are single, you can only do a limited amount of activities with your single friends. Your married friends would be interested in some other activities. However, when you get married, you can do the same activities as your other married friends. You can go on couple gatherings and trips. Plus, your husband’s friends will also become your friends, and so will their spouses, thereby expanding your friend circle. You get a more active social life, with great friends to look forward to.

7.You’re safe and secure for life: Marriage also makes you pretty safe and secure for your life. Your husband will make sure that there are some savings for you, even if he passes away. Moreover, you have him around in the same house, and so you don’t need to be scared about living alone. Plus, your parents are happy that you have a secure future, with a stable partner to take care of you.
8.It enriches you as a person: Marriage has the ability to make a person mature, smart and responsible. You also become more sensitive, understanding and supportive. In other words, you start to become a better person, who handles problems in a responsible way, and not immaturely. This is great for one’s overall personal growth.

9.Your chances of being successful in life are higher: With so many good things that marriage does to you, there is great mental peace and satisfaction that you attain. It’s because of this mental wellness, that you’re able to focus better on your work. Your concentration and efficiency increases, thereby helping you to get promotions at work. This way, your chances of being successful in life are pretty high. In fact, there have been several studies, which have proven that married professionals are more likely to perform better than single ones.

10.It gives a meaning to your life: Traditionally, marriage is a bond of commitment, and once you step into this phase of life, this relationship will add a new meaning to your life altogether. You know you are committed to someone, and that brings about a lot of changes in the way you deal with your partner, as well as your life. The tag of marriage brings about some discipline in your head, with some boundaries, and a list of dos and don’ts, which you are not likely to respect when you are not married to your partner.

These are the reasons why you should get married.

Nairaland GeneralGUYS ONLY!!! These Are The Easy Ways To Woo A Girl Without Using Money by youngdav(op): 8:20pm On Nov 11, 2017
Most guys are scared of approaching a girl to wooing her thinking that before going into a relationship you must have lots and lots of money and this is where most guys miss it.
These steps works best on girls who are single or want a new relationship, of course I wouldn’t go with these on a slay queen. They have no brains so lol.

Don’t get me wrong. I said without money. This is not in anyway encouraging broke guys o cause money is still needed in the relationship. You guys must go out. You must transport if you have a car you must buy fuel etc. Money needed for all those things.

So here are some ways, If you are cute. This will make you outstanding.

1. Be funny and romantic.

If you want to woo a girl and you are a funny guy, you have an advantage, you can mix this wittiness of yours with romance, be romantic and at the same time be funny, don’t just be funny.

Be funny and slowly keep a great conversation with her while making your intentions know to her slowly, slowly do this, it will be preferable to do this via chat or in person anyone you feel comfortable with.

Like for example of me being funny.

Girl :she uploaded a very cute dp and I was like

Me: babe, this your dp is too cute o, you want to give them boys sleepless night ba, you just they hit anyhow o, even fire self they quench, your own na endless hotness”

She found it funny and she laughed and then I added the romantic funny line

“our babies are going to be very cute, I mean look at how cute their mother is, and of course the daddy which is me is also cute so our combination will be beautiful” and she was like
Girl: oh dear you are very funny.

So you see.

It has even gotten to the point that she enjoys me so much that even if we are suppose to take a bus home she will be like “baby no need lets stroll so we can see things to laugh and gist about and hold hands, it’s romantic”

I give her a great conversation that I leave her yearning for more. I am more than best friend and parents combined because I have given her the kind of excitement. Listening ears that she hasn’t experienced before.

NOTE : This might not work on some girls but you just have to look for something that will work on her.

2. If you have a great voice, sing to her.

Girls love guys who have great voice and can sing, so if you can sing her a romantic short song most of the time. She will definitely fall in love with you. While slowly making your intentions known to her.

3. Be neat and keep a great fashion sense.

Dress responsibly with some mature swag. Not some childish bull poo, if you wanna sag. Sag moderately. It’s still cute. Just be yourself. Dress cool. If you keep your hair. Make sure it’s well shaved.

Wear good Cologne with beautiful smell. Brush your teeths. Just smell good whenever you are around here. Don’t go around smelling like candle or mosquito coil.

4. Look fit and be cute

I do 30 press up every morning and 30 frog jumps so my up and down body looks fit and it’s attractive, drink water and eat moderately so you don’t become fat and look unkempt. Take care of your skin, look fresh and kept. Very important.
5. Take her out to nice places.

Take to cool restaurants, shouldn’t be too cheap. Tell her you took her here not because you have the money for it but because you just wanted to make her feel special and that you both are not complete without each other. She will appreciate it. You don’t have to take her to expensive places all the time.

You could take her to the cinemas to watch a cool movie. But pop corn. Play with her gently while watching the movie. Kiss her. Hold her hand and enjoy yourselves together.

In summary.

Nairaland General2018 UTME: JAMB To Start Sales Of Forms November;bans Pens, Wristwatches In Cent by youngdav(op): 11:27am On Nov 09, 2017
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, organisers of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, has banned the use of wrist watches and pens during the conduct of its 2018 test.
The board’s Registrar, Is’haq Oloyede disclosed this to journalists on the sideline of a one-day sensitisation workshop for Computer Based Test, CBT, centre owners on Wednesday in Lagos.

According to him, the essence of the workshop is to appraise the registration and conduct of the 2017 examination.

“What we are doing here today is to appraise the registration and conduct of our past examination and we have taken some lessons from our experience.

“To this end therefore we have introduced some measures that will further add to the integrity of the registration process as well as the conduct of the examination proper.

“For instance, we discovered during the conduct of the last examination that some electronic devices such as pens, wristwatches and other devices were used to perpetrate examination malpractice.

“So, for next year, we have banned the use of wristwatches and pens by candidates and other persons in the examination hall.

“We are also going to introduce some detection devices to ensure that those who plan to cheat in the examination hall are frustrated, as we will also jam (communication network) of the centres,” he said.

Mr. Oloyede noted that the sale of the registration document for the 2018 UTME would commence before the end of November.

“We are planning to meet with all stakeholders on November 15 and the sale of the registration document will definitely commence before the end of this month.

“But before that, we expect candidates to go and download our app, go to our website and download the syllabus and brochure, so that they can now study the process.

“This is in order to minimise the errors that usually occurs during the registration process,” he said.

The JAMB boss added that not less than 617 centres have been accredited nationwide for the exercise.

“We are still considering about 60 more centres as we have their applications waiting for consideration.

“However, a total of 72 centres nationwide have earlier been delisted owing to their involvement in some infractions and they remain delisted.”

On the board’s plan to construct mega CBT centres for its examinations, Mr. Oloyede said: “The mega centre plan is still on, we said that last year.

“But the process of planning will take some time.

“There will be design, there will be contact with private operators, just as there will be advertisements and also due process will be followed,” he said.

Earlier, Mr. Oloyede called for the support of the CBT centre owners in checking anti-examination activities capable of compromising the examination.

“While thanking you for your diligence during the 2017 examination, we want to seize this opportunity to inform you of the flagging off of the 2018 exercise.

“We will like to also assure you that we will make use of the best CBT centres in the coming examination.

“You will be culpable if you do not expose any CBT centre that is doing what is evil because they will attract condemnation from all of us.

“It is on this premise that we are appealing that you assist us in identifying the bad eggs among you and ensuring that they do not participate in our activities,” he said.

According to him, monitoring starts from the time of arrival of the centre owners to the workshop.

He added that during the 2018 UTME examination, the board would include some other requirements for CBT centres.

“We are not going to accept wireless CCTV cameras. Any examination conducted in any CBT centre that we cannot monitor from Abuja will not be paid for.

“The onus is on you to ensure that your CCTV are working and must be on and no CBT centre is allowed to sell any kind of materials under the guise of past questions.

“We will also not tolerate candidates leaving the centre to go out to use the toilet. It is expected that all accredited CBT centres have an in-house convenience,” Mr. Oloyede said.

But he later denied it and deleted the post.
However, JJC Skillz in an interview, said:
“My post on Instagram about my wife having twins was a prophecy from Olowogbogboro (praise programme organized on Instagram). Nathaniel Bassey came online and he had the prophecy, so I just tapped into it.
If you look at my tweet, you would see what I wrote, I said I heard this news where he gave a big testimony, he gathered people around to pray for my wife and he said that he had a vision that she would have twins and that he will be invited to the naming ceremony next year. I received the good news and I pray it comes to pass.”

Nairaland GeneralNnamdi Kanu Took Advantage Of My Husband’s Absence by youngdav(op): 10:35pm On Oct 09, 2017
While speaking at the presidential villa in Abuja on Monday, wife of the president, Aisha Buhari, stated that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, gained grounds while her husband was receiving medical attention in London.
According to TheCable, the President’s wife said the absence of Buhari who spent over 100 days treating an undisclosed ailment in the UK, during which Nnamdi Kanu addressed thousands of his supporters, vowing to ensure the realisation of Biafra, created a setback for the federal government.

She said; “As a result of the president spending several months outside Nigeria, a 40-year-old man who was still living in his father’s house created a state out of a state and that is a major set back for the country and the health sector did not benefit.”
