Chief Davido,...Ndeewo ! ! ! Chukwu Gozie Gi !!! Some of us are already into entrepreneurship, and very vast in experience. A little financial push up of 10 million naira would help us be employing over 20 Nigerian graduates with about 120,000 naira monthly in a locally produced goods- grease,soaps/detergents, as well as the marketing of these goods. Thanks as am waiting for your usual prompt response,Sir. |

Having Messi in the EPL,would further make the league the most watched. But,he shouldn't bring in the "Messi Syndrome" to whichever Club ,he is joining... trying to control the manager,and the club's management. His problems of late in Barca,have been, falling out with the manager on team selection, who plays what,who comes/ goes out of the club,et al. Messi ,is undoubtedly,one of the best players in the history of football. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

My brother, your story is quite pathetic, and full of emotions. From experience, it will be very difficult for you to marry her.Even if you do,the marriage may cut your life early.As I said earlier,love is all about a special feeling,but marriage is practically about commitment, from a man and a woman that love each other DEEPLY. Your acclaimed girl friend does not have any form of commitment to marry you(though,from your narration). Sadly too,from onset,you presented yourself as an ATM ,which she manipulates at her own will. Lastly, and most important bro, for your health and future, brace up and move on with your studies. She would always attach herself to you even after the breakup bc of the financial benefit she enjoys from you. Search for a woman that loves you for who you are (including your ethnicity, et al) and not what you can offer her. My best wishes. |

Manager Carlo Ancelotti of Napoli has just been relieved of appointment after a 4-0 win against Genk,...his sack was due to the run in their domestic league. https://www.espn.com/soccer/napoli/story/4004715/carlo-ancelotti-sacked-at-napoli-despite-spot-in-champions-league-knockout-stage?device=featurephone |

Dr.Samuel M.Onyishi has shown that a good name is better than gold,as he returned over two Billion Naira wrongly his account.Lots of lesson to be learnt from this rare gesture. Nigerian Businessman Returns Over Two Billion Naira Wrongly Credited To His Account http:///e284b3b3c186236_ng |

PMT has been the saving grace in the mini bus transport business, cutting down the exorbitant fares being charged by other transporters before his arrival. My sincere advice is that the management should monitor closely the speed limiter/ governor, and more training on safety/defensive driving for the drivers. Being prompt in responding to accident cases- having a more secured means of reaching victims families. So far, there has been significant improvement in customers care services. |

Mr man, you are the one troubling and driving yourself crazy for not being able to know where your problem is coming from. First; Your wife didn't do anything to warrant a divorce, she didn't cheat, disrespect or commit any abomination. We should sometime view things from different angles before taking actions, you know how difficult it is for a woman to stop her family members from coming close to her husband, she MIGHT not be happy with what they are doing, but in a bid to stop them will have it look like she's pushing them away from you and might create problems. So I ask "HAVE YOU DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE WITH YOUR WIFE?" The rate of entitlement mentality from wives and their families is something else in Nigeria. Reason why we should be wise and careful before getting married. Stop running around, discuss this issue with your wife, if she's a good woman, she'll understand you and do whatever it'll take to keep you happy and relaxed by sketching a strategy with you, but if she tries to give attitude about your complaint, then you'll have to go rude and aggressive to let her know what is as stake(Divorce, for her to marry her family members so that you'll have peace). Discuss with her first. |

Just recently here in the Eastern part of Nigeria,ANAMMCO's central Warehouse spare Parts was given to a church as a camp ground for people to come and pray for jobs. My question is this 'Should our manufacturing firms,...soundly paying over 5000 staff be made a place to pray for the same job ? Is this not destroying the economy more ? No wonder,the developed nations are looking at us as a people with black sense. |

Do you show up to work every day, work to the best of your ability and always strive to be better? Great! But that might not be enough. Because your speaking habits can compromise your potential for career success, even if your performance is impeccable. Let’s say you have an extremely impressive résumé and you’re interviewing at a new firm for a potential promotion. On paper you’re the ideal candidate and you’re objectively more skilled and more experienced than your competitors. But, during the interview, your conversation gives the interviewer a bad impression and he is forced to go with a more impressive candidate. Whether you’re interviewing for a new job, trying to land a new client, motivating your employees or making a pitch to land funding for your business, how you speak and hold conversations can make or break you, regardless of how skilled or talented you are in other areas. Eliminate these five speaking habits before they destroy you: 1. Using Filler Words Filler words have become so common in our colloquial speech patterns that we scarcely notice we’re even saying them. We start our sentences with the word “so,” never consciously realizing it. We inject our sentences with the word “like,” never thinking about the literal ramifications of its use, and fill every pause with an “um” or an “uh” as an almost involuntary reflex. These filler words seem innocent enough, but if they take over the bulk of your speech, they become distracting and reflect poorly on you as the speaker. Fortunately you can train yourself to avoid them by making yourself conscious of their use and correcting yourself every time one slips out until your natural speech pattern is free of them. 2. Using Repetitive Vocal Inflections The inflections in our voice say just as much as the words that are shaped by them. Imagine the sentence “I didn’t steal that car” with an emphasis on each different word within the sentence. “I didn’t steal that car” means something very different than “I didn’t steal that car.” Too often our inflection becomes repetitive, distorting the meaning and power of our sentences and leaving our listeners uninterested. For example, some people draw into a near-constant monotone, never inflecting any syllable more than any other. Others fall into uptalking, the extraordinarily bad habit of ending every sentence with an upward inflection, like a question. Add variance and significance to your intonation and inflections. 3. Talking Too Fast When you get excited, or when you’re nervous, it’s ridiculously easy to speak too quickly. You have a lot to say and you’re trying to get it all out, so the words naturally come to you in a constant stream. Some people subconsciously fear silence and use rapid speaking to cover up any brief pauses that may otherwise result. It’s far better to speak slowly. You’ll have more time to think about your choice of words; you can use pauses to add impact to your sentences; and most importantly, you’ll come across as a much more confident, in-control person. It’s highly unlikely that you’ll speak too slowly for your audience, so no matter how fast you think you’re talking, try talking just a little bit slower. 4. Neglecting Your Mannerisms Everybody has small ticks and mannerisms that go unnoticed and remain insignificant in daily conversations, but these small mannerisms can add up to real annoyance in the context of a professional or public speaking event. For example, if you tend to gesticulate wildly in repetitive motions or if you unconsciously smack your lips at the end of each sentence, your listeners could view you as unpracticed, or worse—unprofessional. Work with a friend or record yourself speaking to uncover some of the mannerisms you might be neglecting. Breaking these unconscious habits can and will be tough, but once they’re gone, they’ll stay gone. 5. Rambling Rambling is an indication of nervousness, and it’s especially dangerous in a one-on-one context. Generally, if you’ve prepared a speech, you won’t have to worry about rambling because you’ll have a specific, dedicated talk track. In a more improvised setting, which demands a back-and-forth between two parties, rambling is a much more dangerous threat. For example, in a job interview, if an interviewer asks a simple question expecting a simple answer and you respond with an extended monologue, your credibility could suffer some damage. If you aren’t concise, your message will lose impact. Don’t let any of these bad habits get the better of you. The best way to avoid them is through ongoing practice. So speak in front of a mirror or with a friend you trust, and actively work to suppress these all-too-common tendencies. In time you’ll be naturally free from any of them, and you won’t have to worry about your next conversation compromising your otherwise great chances at professional success. |
