Foreign Affairs / Re: US Called Off Planned Strike On Iran, 10 Minutes To Strike - Trump by Thecodingslayer: 7:45pm On Jun 22, 2019
Sufisunni:
Another usa drone should violate Iran airspace and see what would happen! Common Vietnam and Iraq American no fi fight. It took usa two presidents(Bush and Obama) to kill just OSAMA despite all their so called military might. Imagine, one of you guys saying American has invisible plane. Who exchange you guys' sense with Hollywood movies.
I know of these planes they are special fighter jets they are not invincible to human eyes but they are invincible to rader tracking technology so they cannot be detected by technology when they enter Iran's airspace and can drop warheads from above.

Oga na lie... D US were neva going to strike Iran. Dey jus wanted to threaten dem and see how dey'll react but Iran stance fear dem...
Modified: All of U quoting me fail to realise one thing... Iran is as unpredictable as North Korea with their nuclear capabilities... They are not telling U dey will beat d Americans but dey and d rest of d world knows dat even if jus 1 nuke hits d US dat is counted as a huge loss...
wetin you dey yarn the US is ready to level the Middle East if they want to. Their arsenal is enough fight three world wars with non stop fire. The US spends billions of dollars on their military every year they can literally level the middle East with just three nuclear warheads nonsense *spits*
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: This Was How I Lost A Bank Job Opportunity Yesterday . I Hope It Helps Someone. by Thecodingslayer: 8:24pm On Jun 21, 2019
AGManuel:
I write this with tears in my eyes but I won't cry because a man is not supposed to.

If really I was such a bad person , I hope to change and live a better life. But to deserve unemployment because of a past situation I found myself in which I couldn't help, I think it's too much for me to bear, but what do I know? maybe I deserve to be unemployed.

But if I tell you I'm not depressed, I'm lieing .

Last year I got a marketing Job with a bank few months after my NYSC when things were extremely hard . Even transport money to go for the training was hard. On the first day of training, on my way home, I lost my phone which was the only thing of value I had then. Safe to say I began the Job phoneless , cashless and frustrated .

Even money to buy bank wears and appear smart or serious was a case . No transport for work, no phone for my work and marketing, no clothes to wear, I'll leave out feeding coz I could control that with starvation or one square meal. My mom was only able to raise small cash for me which most times didn't last a week, transport to and fro was 400 naira, a plate of food was 300, before I get transport for marketing , airtime and transport to call and bringing customers to open accounts and running around on the job which was money intensive, anybody who worked a as marketer before can relate...all these with a huge target of 30 accounts to open and a target of 3 million to bring to the bank.. At least I'm expected to spend 1k a day on the Job which I have not been paid. Remember it was my first month and most banks don't pay in the first month, it's in the second month they combine your salary and pay. Pay was 35k. I was just frustrated.

All these struggles manifested in my performance coz I couldn't deliver and my first two months was a mess coz some days I just couldn't go to work. Sometimes I came to work late coz I had to look for transport money in the morning. Being able to come to work and survive was my main concern then, I fell sick many times out of starvation and it affected my Job. On one occasion or two the Branch manager assisted with stipends when I complained to her about my struggles. Most times the stipends only lasted a day or two but It was a life saver for me coz there was no other option, at least I was able to come to work and eat the next day. Fellow colleagues couldn't help, nobody could, I dropped shame one day in the board meeting and asked for help for we the new staff and how hard it is for us to keep up with the Job. I got nothing.

Not too long after, I resigned to pursue something else . I traveled.

Only for me to come back after 8 months for another bank Job interview and when my former Branch manager was called as a referral, the one I complained to about my struggles and reasons for my underperformance , the same one who assisted me sometimes and this was her reply "He's unserious, indiscipline and unfit for the Job. I was not supposed to hear that but the interviewer put it on loud by mistake and I heard that part before she quickly put the phone off. Immediately I knew I wasn't gonna get the Job.

It hurts me so much, dad is no more, mom a widow, siblings in school calling me day and night for money being the first son and bread winner. If I'm unserious and irresponsible, I can change & become better. No matter the circumstances I faced, I can't make excuses for that. But if I was such a terrible person to deserve unemployment . I let God be the Judge. The interview happened yesterday.

I'm back to the unemployment table guys. My advice to every young hustler out there is to do their best on any job they find themselves no matter the circumstances. But my prayer is for our pasts not to deny us our future bread. We go make am last last.


I feel for you but a way you can control the stress is to cry, a very good cry session over everything, I'm also a guy and I know how it feels but crying helps just do it when you are alone, it is garanteed to help with depression and find a support system, it can consist of anybody who both of you have a mutual caring for each other and spill it all to the person and cry it all out. Crying releases stress relieving hormones in the brain and lets you calm down.
P. S it is medically proven so suck up your manhood pride and cry

Education / Re: What's The Craziest Thing You Did While In Secondary School? by Thecodingslayer: 7:58pm On Jun 09, 2019
dMODShavgonemad:
I don't really have crazy moments, but if u didn't play with pen in school, u didn't spin a padlock on a drawing board, u didn't write love letters, u didn't jump over school fence, u didn't make genuine excuses for coming late, u didn't brag about visiting d USA on hols when u have never been to an airport, then ur secondary school experience is really messed up.
I actually did all those without the bragging part and may life was pretty much dead even though I went to kings college
