 Literature / Re: NYSC: National Year Of Sex And Comfort <<<Adventure of the year: 2013 Awards >>> by sydneyboma: 5:55am On Mar 13, 2013 |
Mazi_Omenuko: Baby, it worked!
My girlfriend was screaming and running to my direction.
It worked!
She ran to me with all smiles. She was breathing heavily, trying to catch her breathe. She ran all the way from the student affairs block A to block C where students of Engineering faculty were gathered up, waiting for NYSC call-up letters.
"Lasgidi things!" She screamed as she hugged me.
I was happy for her. This has been her dream, to serve at Lagos state. She was so excited that she started doing some etighi dance steps. Every student lined up for callup was staring, laughing and clapping for her.
"Why haven't they giving you people yet?", she asked.
I wish I had the answer to that. The old man attending to students from my faculty was so dull and lazy. It takes him closely 12 minutes to attend to a student.
"Clearance form", he will ask after he must have called your name. Then he will take 4 minutes comparing the names at the computer sheet with that in your clearance form, adjusting his big spectacles in the process.
"Photocopies", he will ask again as he takes more time to scrutinize the duplicate of your statement of result.
"I.D card. . ."
It was so annoying watching him spend eternity before giving you the call-up.
I don't know why they won't employ young, virile and smart young graduates to do some of these works. We complain of unemployment while the old men keep adjusting their ages to remain in public service. That man could be old enough to be my grand dad.
"Mechanical and Production Engineering!"
The old man shouted, beckoning on those that graduated from the department of mechanial engineering to come closer.
He was in charge of faculty of Engineering and Technology, and started in alphabetical order. After enduring the wait for Agric Engr., Biotechnology, Chemical engr and so on, it has finally gotten to my department.
I was restless, the sun had beaten me for six straight hours, amidst the tugging and pushing.
"Don't worry, it will work out, same way mine did".
My girl had an uncle who she said worked at NYSC office at Abuja. It was her idea for us both to serve in the same place, her choice was Lagos state. She had everything worked out; her uncle will help us get posted to Lagos state, her auntie at Adax petroleum will get us a company letter head requesting for our service, and just like that, we both will be working at Adax petroleum.
It was a great idea, only that I wasn't that enthusiastic about Nysc. It wasn't like this last year, not until I discovered I had an outstanding that was going to cost me an extra year.
It would have been wonderful if I was preparing for this service the previous year, when I ought to have graduated. My friends had all gone for service the previous year, people I was brighter than and smarter than. We were all looking forward to the service thing before I learnt of my extra year. It devastated me!
I was one of the best in my department. My colleagues respected me and even consult me for inputs on assignments. A semester to go and I had no outstanding or spill over courses. I just had to finish up with the remaining five courses and my project. One thing was worrying me, my CGPA stood at 3.42, I needed a solid 3.5 to make a dream 2-1 so I could increase my chances at the labor market: that was where desperation entered, and that was how I earned myself an extra year at school.
I had known my H.O.D's daughter for sometime now. She lives with her dad and comes to work with him every morning, after dropping the dad's bag, she heads off to her department. She was like a personal assistant to the dad, types his letters, reads and replies his mails. The few times I was at my H.O.D's office, I see her typing some documents or grading papers. We were just acquaintances, nothing more, at least, as at then.
I made strategic plans on how to improve my CGPA, I didn't dare join the crowd having 2-2, I thought, rather wrongly, that a 2-2 was a disadvantage and that a 2-1 will give me an advantage over my colleagues at the labor market. My first strategy was to study harder, quit some of my extra curricula activities and focus more on my studies. I tried this for most part of that last semester, but it didn't seem to be working. Most of my test scores came back within the same average mark. To crown it all, my H.O.D was handling two courses, with each one having 3 credit load. I has having difficulties grasping the course, so was all my other course mates. Those courses where the undoing of many previous students.
I didn't just want to pass those courses, I wanted to boost my CGPA, that's where desperation set in; I wanted a shut cut to that, that's where my H.O.D's daughter came into the picture, and that's where my dilemma started.
Standing on a hot friday sun that afternoon, I recounted the bitter ordeal my sexcapade with my H.O.D's daughter landed me into.

| Business / Re: Fiverr Level One Sellers Can Now Apply For Fiverr Revenue Card by sydneyboma: 5:53am On Mar 13, 2013 |
maxibrainz: Fiverr is a “micro-job”Fiverr.com
site which allows users to post a task called a "gig"that they are willing to complete for $5. Buyers pay $5 for the service and the seller receives $4 as
payment once the service is complete. Fiverr keeps $1 as a service charge. Gigs can be anything from blog promotion to video creation e.t.c.
It is a great way to make money online.
FIVERR REVENUE CARD is a means of withdrawing
from FIVERR. This was
meant at giving respite
to Countries who aren’t
accepted on PAYPAL
(fiverr’s initial sole means of payment) but works on FIVERR. It came as a great news for most Nigerian fiverr users, it was to save us a lot of cost, risk
and time in getting our
revenue via paypal.
But, there came the big
limitation… REVENUE CARD was restricted to LEVEL2 sellers and Top rated sellers only.
To become a level 2 seller, you must have been on fiverr for exactly 60days and
must have completed at least 50 orders. You must have made
$200 at least. This means, if you fulfill these criteria, you will be able to apply for
your revenue card after
60days and the card will be sent down to your door step in Nigeria. This can take between 5days (if you use
DHL and pay $62 fee) or 3weeks (if it’s sent via regular mail and you pay $0 fee).
Fiverr promise
is being fulfilled as the
REVENUE CARD has now
being availed to LEVEL 1
sellers too. It’s now certain that in the nearest future, it will be extended to ORDINARY MEMBERS too.
FIVERR did promised when it introduced REVENUE CARD
around August 2012 that the card will be made available to other level sellers too soon. Now, the With this new development(INTRODUCTION OF FIVERR
REVENUE CARD to LEVEL 1SELLERS), it’s now so sweet and easy for us to receive our fiverr earnings right here
in Nigeria. We just have to walk to any ATM machine in town with MASTER CARD logo on it, slot our card inside and get our cash out.

ttlabi: I graduated and left Nigeria for UK more than 15yrs ago, was suppose to do my masters but never get to do it. Since I came to UK I have been doing all kinds of odd jobs and barely surviving. Now am in my early 40s, tired and disappointed with nothing/little I have achieved. I have 2 kids living with their mum. And all I can show for my life struggle in all these years is just about £10,000.
I cannot continue like this.
Please can I make it in Nigeria? What can I do? Please advice me.
Please no fraudulent advice, I can smell fraud 1,000 miles away and I have never fallen to one, so don’t bother suggest one.
Thanks for your good advices in advance.

victorazy: T
By Omoh Gabriel
The World Bank extended a loan of $500 million for support to Nigeria during the global financial crisis.
This fact is contained in the just released Independent Evaluation Group report of the World Bank. According to the Bank “Nigeria faced serious fiscal issues at the onset of the crisis and the funds were given to Nigeria in the form of budgetary support to the government, for undertaking policy reforms, both in the areas of fiscal management and financial sector reform.
In terms of the content of policy reforms, there were some positive areas, however some other longer term opportunities for reform may not have been seized and overall, the programme was moderately satisfactory in terms of its achievements.

courage89: Another USD2m for Nollywood VC Stars, Iroko Partners
Iroko Partners, the Nigerian online distributer of African movies and music, have secured another USD2m in venture capital funding, Reuters reports. This follows an USD8m Series A round in April 2012 that brought international attention to the potential for bigger VC deals in Africa. The latest funding, from Swedish VC firm Kinnevik, will support Iroko as it pushes into American and European markets through cable and satellite TV partners. Iroko has now commanded support from two quite serious western VCs: Kinnevik, which was an early investor in Groupon, and international VC heavyweight Tiger Global, the Series A funder. Iroko’s steadily rising profile is sure to bring increasing credibility to the African VC and mobile tech space.
In other Iroko news, Nigeria’s Daily Times reports that Iroko is taking legal action against Google’s Android Development Challenge winner, Afrinolly. The start-up runs a mobile application that showcases Nollywood movies and trailers – the same centrepiece of Iroko’s online platform. Iroko says Afrinolly is providing content through its application that has been illegally sourced from Iroko’s legally licensed YouTube channel, NolloywoodLove.
