Verse 1:
Don’t cry for me Nigeria. The truth is I never lived here. All through my twenty-two years. I’ve lived in Yemen, Dubai and Britain. And now I’m in prison. As a child I never wore diapers. That’s why I decided to build one. One with explosives. That was my only motive. And now I have to pay. Now I’m in Guantanamo Bay.

Verse2:
Don’t swear for me Nigeria. The truth is that I have left you. I have relocated to Saudi Arabia. The stress is too much there in Nigeria. Goodluck Jonathan I’m sorry. The truth is I left in a hurry. So don’t you worry. Just run the country. I’ll give you directives. From my Blackberry.

porka:

Finally, Nigerian bank officials' bribe newsmen to prevent them from mentioning their establishments. That's why we read "names withheld" or "a new generation bank" or an old generation bank" everytime robbery happens .

Honestly. And it's so annoying. I don't know why at this age of IT, Nigerian journalists are still behaving as if they are living in the Stone Age. God will help us,

It is not for you to criticize other people opinions as DUMB.

In our everyday lives, no one wishes for some evil or negative befall them, however, if your training cannot prepare one for such situations, what can? Oh let me guess, impulse? Yeah right, impulse on what grounds, and that is not just enough, period.

Years back when I worked for two major retailers while in school, I have seen managers get fired as a result of something like this. Here is one scenario; In 2008, I once worked for a CVS Pharmacy store between 14th and 19th K street in DC, A SHOP LIFTER walks in to the store as usual to steal. The store manager was on duty that afternoon when the "thief" came in and he started to watch him from the camera, and found him stealing a whole lot of stuff. This was in the Winter period and they wore a good number of jackets to stuff all this items in them. This store manager is about 5 feet 3, and the said SHOP LIFTER is about 6 feet 2, you can see the height difference and the manager goes to stop the SHOP LIFTER, and when he held his jacket, the SHOP LIFTER gives the manager just one blow to the face, guess what, the Manager falls to the floor and passed out. Obviously they called the police and the whole nine yards. But after this happened, the manager spent almost two weeks in the hospital with unpaid salary for that period and he took care of his own emergency and hospital fees. If I was correct, insurance refused to cover his hospital bills because he violated Loss prevention guideline by attempting to apprehend a SHOP LIFTER, not only that after his hospital leave, CVS placed him on administrative leave which is obviously unpaid, well he was lucky that the Regional Manager loved him so much that he gave him a final chance and he had his job back after almost 90 days later. They told him although he had stolen almost $500 worth of items, it still wasn't enough for him to act stupidly. CVS clearly said hurting yourself, well you asked for it, someone else hurt as a result of that is selfish and could have landed CVS in a civil or criminal lawsuit on their part of negligence.

I love this man, real live scenario.

I'm pretty sure that this guy deserves an award and probably a promotion if this had happened in Nigeria. Please read on and air your views.

(CNN) -- Jim Nicholson could've just handed over the cash. Instead, he gave the would-be robber a run for his money -- and paid for it.

The 30-year-old bank teller said the suspect, dressed in black and wearing sunglasses, walked up to his counter at the Key Bank branch in suburban Seattle, Washington, demanding he fill the man's bag with cash.

"So I grab the bag ,  I threw it on the floor," Nicholson told CNN Radio. He said he demanded the robber show him a weapon. When he realized there was none, Nicholson said, he lunged at the robber, chased him down the street, pinned him down and waited for the police.

That was Tuesday of last week. He lost his job Thursday.

Why?

"Policy violation," Nicholson said. "Basically, we are supposed to comply with any robber that would come in. We're supposed to just give him the money and let him go -- and obviously I did not do that."

Key Bank spokeswoman Anne Foster declined to comment on the incident, saying it's under investigation, and Nicholson's termination, saying it's a personnel matter.

"What I can say is Key's highest priority is to protect the safety of our employees and our clients," she said. "Our policies and procedures are in the best interest of public safety and they're consistent with industry standards."

"Money, after all, is insurable and it's replaceable," she added. "Lives are not."

Nicholson said he knew about the company's robbery policy before the incident, but said he acted on instinct. He found his dismissal a bit harsh, but said he doesn't plan to challenge it.

"I think that they probably wanted to set an example," he said. "I don't think they want other tellers to do the same thing."

Afam:

The suit is in order as we see a lot of organisations and institutions rip people off while making promises they may never fulfill.

I think I would disagree with youe here. The issue is this - ab initio, does she have the locus standi to institute the case against the school? And like you rightly said towards the end of your post - anything that is not written down and signed in Law of Contract is baseless before the court of law as my word against yours is very dificult to substantiate in the court. I think hse might just be waisting her time.

She has given new meaning to a class-action lawsuit.

Trina Thompson gave it the old college try, but couldn't find work. Now she thinks her sheepskin wasn't worth her time, and is suing her alma mater for her money back.

The Monroe College grad wants the $70,000 she spent on tuition because she hasn't found gainful employment since earning her bachelor's degree in April, according to a suit filed in Bronx Supreme Court on July 24.

The 27-year-old alleges the business-oriented Bronx school hasn't lived up to its end of the bargain, and has not done enough to find her a job.

The information-technology student blames Monroe's Office of Career Advancement for not providing her with the leads and career advice it promised.

"They have not tried hard enough to help me," the frustrated Bronx resident wrote about the school in her lawsuit.

"She's angry," said Thompson's mother, Carol. "She's very angry at her situation. She put all her faith in them, and so did I. They're not making an effort.

"She's finally finished [with school], and I'm so proud of her. She just wants a job."

The mother and daughter live together, but are struggling to get by. Carol, a substitute teacher, has been the only breadwinner.

"This is not the way we want to live our life," the mom said. "This is not what we planned."

As if being unemployed weren't enough, Trina's student loans are coming due, saddling the family with more debt, the mom said.

"We're going to be homeless, and we'll still have a student loan to pay," Carol said.

Monroe insists it helps graduates in their careers.

"The lawsuit is completely without merit," school spokesman Gary Axelbank said. "The college prides itself on the excellent career-development support that we provide to each of our students, and this case does not deserve further consideration."

The college's Office of Career Advancement advertises lifetime free service for graduates, and boasts on the school's Web site: "We have many resources available for students at any stage of their college career, and even after graduation."
