Politics / Jonathan Ready For Buhari by oldbrain(m): 8:10am On Mar 02, 2015
2nd March, 2015
Jonathan ready for Buhari, says PDP
MARCH 2, 2015 BY OLUSOLA FABIYI
Leave a Comment
Buhari and Jonathan
The
Peoples
Democratic
Party has
said
President
Goodluck
Jonathan
is ready to face Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.) on
March 28 for the presidential election.
While Jonathan is the candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party, Buhari is the candidate of the main opposition party,
the All Progressives Congress.
The APC had alleged that both Jonathan and his party were
planning to scuttle the elections as they were alleged not to
be ready.
The opposition party claimed that both the President and
the PDP were afraid that they would be defeated during the
election.
But the Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP
Presidential Campaign Organsiation, Chief Femi Fani-
Kayode, said that it would be foolhardy of anyone to say the
President Jonathan was not ready for the elections.
He also debunked the claim that the ruling party and the
President were sponsoring some lesser political parties to
call for the shift of the elections, especially in the North-
East.
Fani-Kayode said, “How can anyone say we are not ready for
the elections? President Jonathan is ready to challenge
General Buhari anyway because he’s going to defeat him.
We were ready for the last election and we are also ready
for this one.
“We have people coming to this office every day to
strategise and we also have our Legacy House for the
election. Leaders of the party from the national chairman to
other members of the National Working Committee are
there”
Fani-Kayode also berated former Governor of Lagos State,
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the spokesperson for the APC,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who he said, were accusing him of
many crimes, including bad health.
He said, “If anybody is to talk about ill health. They should
talk about themselves and not about me.
“My name is Femi Fani Kayode, and nobody can kill me
before my time. Nobody can cut me short and I harbour no
fear of violence and I do not take threats lightly. Neither do
I fear for my life.
“Because I have never shed blood and I do not believe in
violence, the angel of the Lord will strike that person dead
before they point a gun at me in Jesus Name.”
Meanwhile, the party has expressed gratitude to Nigerians
for their renewed solidarity and overwhelming support for
President Jonathan.
Business / 4 Signs You Talk To Much In Office by oldbrain(m): 7:59am On Mar 02, 2015
Here are four surefire ways to find out...before you
accidentally commit career suicide:
1. Everyone near you wears earbuds.
If everyone everywhere you look has earbuds stuffed into
their ears, or if they quickly jam them into their ears upon
your approach, sorry, bud, they’re trying to avoid you. Hey,
it could be worse. They could ruthlessly red light you.
To avoid being on the receiving end of embarrassing
passive-aggressive blow-offs like this, schedule time to talk
about specific work-related topics with your co-workers as
needed and stay on-topic. Save the smalltalk for the
breakroom and keep it brief. It shows respect for your
fellow officemates and their time...and, fingers crossed,
that you’re a recovering talkaholic.

Office
2. You do most of the talking.
If you find that you initiate conversations with your
coworkers most of the time -- c’mon, if you’re reading this
you probably do -- and if you dominate most of the
chitchats you start, chances are you blah, blah, blabbety-
blah too much.
If you don’t realize it, you’re not alone. Most people aren’t
aware that they talk too much, says Annie Stevens,
managing partner at ClearRock, a Boston-based executive
coaching firm. Her wise motto for workplace
communication is simple: “Be brief, be brilliant, be gone.”
Instead of Bogart-ing conversations, wait for coworkers to
kick off discussions with you from time to time and -- here
comes the hard part for verbal vomiters -- practice biting
your tongue while others talk. Don’t interrupt them, either.

3. People look at their phones when you
talk.
Or at their watches or at their shoes or off in the distance.
You get the point, er, then again maybe you don’t. If a
person glazes over and looks like they’d rather be anywhere
but here listening to you ramble, it’s because they probably
would.
Take their dismissive body language as a hint and zip your
lip. If you need to tell them something urgent, email or IM
them. It’s going to be okay.
Related: How to Prevent Office Gossip From
Ruining Your Business
4. You can’t answer a question in a
sentence or two.
Someone asks you what time it is and you tell them about
the time someone told you the time that time you when you
asked them for the time on the train. You follow? Nope.
Neither did we. See? It’s annoying.
Be a pal and answer questions in a sentence or two, tops.
Stop, listen to the question and think about your answer
before opening up your mouth. You don’t have to blurt out
whatever pops into your head. If the person who asked you
the question has a follow-up question, then feel free to add
to your answer. If not, clam up and move on.
If you’re guilty of being that guy or that gal in the office, the
dreaded excessive talker, don’t despair and, please, don’t
go running to your nearest coworker to tell them all about
it. Talking too much at the office -- or anywhere -- is a bad
habit and thankfully one that can be broken. Like
unlearning any unwanted habitual behavior, it takes time,
impulse control, practice and plenty of it.
Say it with us now: Less talk

Wow! Today is yoruba day. A day set aside to celebrate our rich and dynamic culture. This is the day when yorubas both home and abroad mark by wearing their native yoruba attire and eating typical yoruba food. A friend of mine in abroad jst called me now dat he and his family member will be eating a pure yoruba food today unlike before when they have no keen interest in our food. Even for me today,I have obliged it dat all the food me and my family will be eating today will be a yoruba food. Oya drop your best yoruba food let have fun. For me my yoruba food is IKOKORE. I know it will be strange to some indomie generations. I like ikokore because it gives me energy and besides it is the food that satisfies me most. Over to u guys. SEUN pls move this thread to the front page let celebrate our rich food

Romance / How To Overcome Shyness Or Timidity by oldbrain(m): 3:08pm On Feb 07, 2015
1) STOP OVER-STARING: if you want to get rid of your shyness,you have to minimize the rate at which you stare at people. Over- Staring can make you assume wrongly that the way you are looking at people is actually the way people will be looking at you. When I was in high school,I did stare a lot which I later knew it was responsible to my shyness. But the moment I stopped this,I regain my lost confidence.
2) Appreciate yourself: am I ugly? Am I not too short? Never be deprived off by this negative thought. Who told you that you are ugly. There are some that are still uglier than and still appreciate themselves. Appreciate yourself. Talk like a king,walk like van-vicker and smile like gej

3) Be self-esteemed: have a self worth and imbibe the spirit of superiority. Just know that you are the best in everything. If you are self-esteemed,you will not be shy to deal with any situation,you will not be shy to talk impressively in the class,you will not be shy to ask a thought provoking question that will marvel everybody in the church. Gradually,you will be bold as lion that even if you are told to address the whole country you will just laugh cos it will be the simplest challenge for you.

Romance / 3 Things To Avoid When Toasting A Girl by oldbrain(m): 12:00pm On Feb 01, 2015
1) Avoid cramming - some dudes these days fail to convince a girl beyond reasonable doubt because of cramming. Why cram for God sake. You have to be bold and confident enough to articulate your words for her...........remember that she won't kill you.the worse thing she can do is to turn you down.

2)Never downgrade yourself- know that you are intelligent to convince her. It is this your self worth dat will give you inspiration to braiinwash her. I want u to know dat majority of those beautiful girls on d street has nothin in the head. Be inferor in ur dealings. Never down grade ur self.......your intelligence is celestial.

3)Never turn to teacher- where do you live,are u d last born,where does your father work! Haba are u a village teacher. First comport your self and go straight to d issue. Dont bore her with almighty formular question. Know dat your first discussion wit her will determine her her aproach to u.........your first discussion must be diplomatic not questionably epileptic.
