Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Novotel Hotels Recruitment Scam by bocin500(m): 4:08pm On Aug 09, 2013
Also got the mail.
I took 3 easy steps.
1. I googled Novotel hotels and saw that they don't have any hotel at the location where the said hotel is recruiting. Also noticed the difference in contact phone numbers.
2. I called the number on the scam mail and the guy @ the other end tried to imitate an englishman as best as he could(but I spotted flaws).
3. I then called the numbers on google page. This time, a real British lady spoke and told me there were no such persons with such names in their employ.

I tell u, these naija boys have perfected the art!
Morale of the story....whenever u receive any of such offers, no matter how 'true' it seems, pls do quality back-ground checks before u even enter into correspondence with them.
God help us!

Politics / Re: Deplorable Road Condition Linking Nekede-ihiagwa-futo In Imo (PIXS) by bocin500(m): 8:47pm On Jul 30, 2013
From the days of John The Baptist, that road has been like that. And evry other year, we keep hearing the same thing. In fact tales from the vine bears it that the contract for that road has been awarded up to 5 times!!!.
Like what someone said earlier, it is a political road (pls don't ask me what that means).
In summary, the road is a classical example of 'man's inhumanity to man'.
First came in contact with that road about 12 years ago and from the pics, the story is still same.
I weep for my dear Imo State!!! Painfully so too, considering the fact that the said road is one road visitors to the state come to use on a daily basis seeing that it bothers on 2 prominent federal institutions.
Its been said overtime, that Imo is replete with bad, sad and ugly news.
To this, I call on Gov Rochas, those responsible (directly and indirectly) for the prolonged state of utter disrepair of that road and indeed, Ndi Imo , please let's prove bookmakers wrong for once, biko!!!

@OP......
I must start by congratulating you for first restoring hope to Nairaland as a foremost educative and mature yet entertaining site(some of us who knew Nairaland and what it stood for, were almost giving up). Thank you too for proving to the older generation that our generation is not filled with 'kukere', 'free-madness' and the likes which literarily pervades the air-waves.
Furthermore, I must also commend your ability to step 'outside' your world, and the corresponding gait which you employed in telling your unique story.
That been said, I must point out a 'few' flaws:
1: I'm guesing maybe due to the rush, the last two 'episodes' were characterized by a lot of typo-graphical errors..please look into it.
2: you seem not to have got a clear distinction between the words 'has' and 'as'...the 'h' sound, when it is silent and when it isn't.
And a few others.
My suggestions..
1:You need not see yourself as an amature anymore, therefore when next you write any piece, please ask a few 'trusted' hands to proof-read and critique thoruoghly before you publish, here or anywhere else.
2: Writing is a multi-billion dollar industry and with the stuff you've put to show here, you clearly are cut-out for mega box. My point, begin to think of packaging your works in a most -unique manner. Don't settle for less. If it means seeking professional advice, then go for it.
Your near-perfect use of words, street slangs, and descritptive mannerisms all contributed to making this piece truly something to be desired...a departure from what we are almost getting used to from our 'dear own' nollywood.
Furhter more, I must also commend the 'realness' you put in making it very difficult for a few 'trained' minds to believe it was fiction indeed.Need I say more?
In all, your piece is clearly brilliant. Thanks for challenging the 'writer' in a few of us!
Godbless you!

leslieu63: I feel so honored to be the third comment. All of
my hardwork and dedication has paid off.
Getting the top comment has been a dream of
mine for many years, and I would like to thank
those who have helped me along the way. First
and foremost I would like to thank God for
giving me this opportunity. Next I would like to
thank my parents. I want to thank my dogs
wizkid and bingo, for being really fat and always there for
me. Next I would like to thank the squirrel dbanj that
lives in my backyard for climbing trees because
that gives me inspiration that I need to get
through the day. This is a special moment in my
life and I would like to thank any of my
unmentioned friends and family that have
helped me along the way. This moment will be a
moment that I will never forget. I just
remembered a few other people I would like to
thank; facebook,nairialand, my girlfriends and sugar mummies, the fish I caught in the third
grade, my light in my room because I wouldn’t
be able to see the keyboard without it, the
internet for letting me go on facebook, my
house because without it I would be homeless,
and last but not least I would like to thank all
the people out there that actually took time out
of their day to read this. I cannot stress how
much of a big deal to me this is. I have been
trying to be the first comment on a post for
years, but that has not been possible until this
amazing day. Hopefully my good luck will
continue, but this is undoubtedly a rare
occasion. If you asked me how I did this, I
would say, you can achieve anything that you set
your mind on. To all the kids out there reading
this, I would like to tell them to follow their
dreams. Being the top comment is amazing,
thank you everyone!

sheyguy:
Guy stop the delusion, 2face like most superstar and popular figure associated with FESTAC only became FESTAC residents after they made significant leap in their careers. Jay-Jay Okocha, Blacface, and Sunday Oliseh are some other superstar who now have houses in FESTAC.Tell us say u don see am couple of times for FESTAC.

just to let u know, ur wrong bout this..growing up in festac(and i dont mean living close to festac), with the exception of jay jay, the rest names u mentioned actually GREW up in FESTAC...at least i used to watch oliseh from my classroom window(festac college)in training sessions way back in 1993, Tu and black face(later joined by Face)used to hang out in almost all the playgrounds(202, 23rd, 512rd, for those who know festac very well), long before they even blew up.
just to put the facts right!
Fashion / Re: Skin Care Tips For An Oily Face by bocin500(m): 9:51pm On Jul 26, 2012
Hod1000: As with every other thing in life, there are rules governing them all. Same thing is applicable to the face. You must observe the rules of the face if you must have a clean smooth face. Here are some of the fundamental basic rules of the face.

1) Never use sponge on your face no matter what......rub soap on you face and allow it to stick there for like 5minutes before washing with your palm.

2) Never squeeze the acne in your face in the name of squeezing out puss...you are worsening it cos of germ transfer.

3) Never rub oil cream on your face...your face need to breath through the pores. The oil will clog it and it will 'shoot-out' more pimples/acne/blackheads.

4) Never wear make-ups before going to bed. As in the case of rule number 3, you must resist the urge.

5) Never use heavy chemicals, hot soaps, or any cream in whatever form on your face. You will end up damaging you face. Treat your face the same way you would treat the eye....face is sensitive too.

6) Never use hot water on your face no matter how you have believed that its no longer hot. Remember that the skin in our hands/palms are not the same with that on our face......both have their distinctive texture and feel. Pls, before you jump on my neck for this assertion, drop a spoonful of hot water on your face and do same on you hand then tell yourself the result. A hot water in the face in the name of warm water may destroy your facial skin pigment which will take years to heal.

7) As a rule, drink a glass of water first thing in the morning and plenty of it every other time in the day. This helps to wash away free radicals from inward...usually done via perspiration.

cool Eat more of fruit than fatty food and friable.Fruit has some natural chemicals that is released into the body when eaten that goes to wage war against bacteria and its proteges living in the body.

9) Wash your face twice if you have the opportunity. Those with too much oil face should increase their facial washing from 2 to perhaps 4. Warning> Never over-wash your face....dont go rubbing and washing your face with almost half of the soap in just one day at a time. You'll be damaging your skin if you do that cos our face need a lil oil to keep it moisture though.

10) Grab enough sleep. Don't deprive yourself good sleep. Sleep is a biological natural healing phenomenon embedded into each and everyone by God which is regulated by body clock. So get some good sleep whenever you can and watch not only your skin glow, but your face as well.

Final notice> Please make a diligent and careful search for cream and soap that is compatible with your skin type because what works for Mr Seun Osewa's skin may not work in Hod1000 skin. Our skin differs....even among identical twins. So, it doesn't matter whether such soap and cream costs 5k each or 40, what matters is choosing the right one for your skin. I for one uses a soap of 60 naira and I found that its good for my skin unlike when I was using a soap of 350. One more thing, I don't use cream on my face, but I can use cream on any other part of my body.

BOTTOMLINE/> Experiment, play around with your skin until you learn what things it does like and stick to it.


"Insanity is when we do the same thing over and over expecting to have different result."

My greetings to all fellow NLers.

said it all!
Politics / Re: Award For Taxi-driver Who Returned N18M by bocin500(m): 1:26pm On Jul 26, 2012
....the rot has really eaten deep..i fear for our unborn children..
whatever u like to say, in whatever manner u like to, the corruption tendency currently ravashing not just Nigeria, but the entire world, does not make returning what wasn't his, wrong.
like someone rightly said, one might not know what he/ she would have done in similar situation until you are indeed faced with it.
This should have been a very good platform for the Government to redirect the masses back to the right part by hosting him and rewarding him handsomely in a way that he would benefit substantially. But like someone opined earlier, the rot in governance is so enormous that a "paltry" 18mil lost and returned to the rightful owner need not be commended.
God help us!
