Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Here's Why 40% Of Real Companies Post Fake Vacancies by Newton2024: 10:59am On Jun 26
Onewazobia:


Typical of a black man, why raising peoples hope, knowing fully many will need to sacrifice alot to either go or book for such interviews.
The same as state governments selling tens of thousands of application forms to job seekers when they have already known those they will give the job through "long leg."

Nothing till now. I did the capturing on the 29th of Apr.
Whereas those who did not do any capturing received the money. Someone did not fill the form but only update his BVN and NIN using verification link, and he received an alert.

In our party meeting, they have filled the form for us three times and I have personally filled the form for about ten times. I'm still expecting alert.

If they explain this corntree to you and you understand, the person did not explain it very well to you.

Official Palestinian statistics since October 7th. The numbers are not final and cannot be obtained until the occupation's aggression against the Gaza Strip ends.
And so what? Nigerians are facing worse situation in the hands of you muslims (terrorists). So what Israel is actually doing is making the world a better place. You can't live in peace with head slam.mers unless you make yourself a greater terror unto them. That's exactly what Israel is doing and that's why they can flourish in the midst of their enemies.

The greatest local linguistic influence and content contribution to the vocabulary of Nigerian Pidgin/ English today is the Yoruba language.
Some of these words have even been added to the English language dictionary e.g 'Danfo' and 'Tokunbo', together with those which have been in the English vocabulary for much longer, such as; 'Iroko', 'Chigger' from 'Jìgá', 'Agama' from 'Agẹma', 'Orisha' Etc.

At least if the English language will mess with the spoken Yoruba among some of us, then Yoruba words should also enter.

Only you understand the reason behind his pain. But he can't work with Obi for two reasons:

1. He is arrogant. He can't work under Obi.
2. He lacks popularity. I don't think he can win a local government chairmanship in Nigeria even if election is free and fair.

Those that died are not complaining. Some of them wished for it. That's why they decided to stay in arm's way by staying in active war zone. So don't cry more than the bereaved.

What do you expect in a war zone?

Since they don't have names and nationalities, it's good to conclude that they are Hamas terrorists.

I’ll go straight to the point, she has been disturbing me to legalize our relationship since last year. I couldn’t take it anymore so I decided to let her know what I have I Mind.

I told her before I will wed her, we both need to have 10 million as reserve in an account for emergency. She brings 5m while I also bring Mine.

I do want a secured future for the both of us but she no dey reason with me. Always complaining age is not on her side.

She don vex leave my side since morning telling family and friends that i have been wasting her time.

I’m wondering if I did anything wrong

Do you really think #10m is enough to secure the future for the both of you and your children? When do you think you will be able to safe that amount of money? What's preventing her from bringing her own part of the money?

Most of the Americans army they claimed to be invincible hired by Israel have been liquidated, including the most famous redwolf sniper from British army. IDF isn’t winning but losing. Killing civilians is the only way to put pressure on Hamas. But it’s not working either, because the civilians doesn’t blame Hamas and call for Hamas to surrender. Instead, the young civilians are vowing to join Hamas soldiers after the war. The Brits eventually got caught into it all. It's been the Rothschild Ashkenazic JEWS and their buddy JEWS.

Hi there, Please post for me. In 2016 i
was dating 2 guys. I slept with them
on the same day. I became pregnant.

My baby was born looking exactly
like the first guy. His family came
and paid damages. He continued to
support the child financially till he lost
his job this year. So earlier this year
my son began to resemble the other
guy.. He no longer looks like the one
I thought was the father. Does such
thing happen? how do I deal with it?

BREAKING: 800,000 Nigerians to get FG's N50,000 grant before May 31

Beneficiaries of the Federal Government’s N50,000 grant for nano business owners have started receiving credit alerts.

Minister for Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Doris Uzoka-Anite, who confirmed this at the weekend, said no fewer than 200,000 small business owners have received the payment.

According to her, 800,000 others will get their grants before the close of the programme by May 31.

This will bring the total number of beneficiaries to the targeted 1,000,000 Nigerians spread across the 774 local government areas.

She explained that about 3.6 million applications were received out of which the beneficiaries were selected randomly from among those who met the conditions.

The minister said N50 billion is available in the 2024 budget for disbursement

They are paying 1 million people out of 3.6 million. What happens to the remaining 2.6 million? I could remember in 2020, 4 million people apply for Npower but 1 million people were selected. It's sad people don't see these as abnormalities.
