Show me a multinational company that readily accepts responsibility and seeks to make ammends immediately.

unoin diagnostics formerly known as Tejuosho Diagnostics. Over 15 years in laboratory business with branches in Port Harcourt and Lagos. Head office (I Think) is on Tejuosho Road behind Yaba market ,( the side they sell matresses) in lagos. Going into partnership with an international company hence the change of name to make it more universal and the private placement.

debosky:

red bull isn't a long term solution, abi you want the poor boy to spend all his money buying red bull everyday?

see a doctor to see whether you have a sleeping disorder or the tse tse fly disease, if there is nothing wrong there, then you need to mentally sit up. Maybe you've been relaxed for too long, but the world will pass u by if that kind of sleep habit continues.
Right. It's a temporary solution, 4x more caffeine than a teaspoonful of regular coffee. But I notice that the doctors in the house have answered pheesayor's question in another thread so all I can say is please get better asap.

Hi, thanks for the mini expo. What should one take to the test hall? Are calculators allowed? How many minutes is the test? How long did you have to wait for the result?

23)the best way to have a conversation is to shout at the person then don't wait for a response

24)doors are not locked in nigeria and anyone can just walk into your house without you having to open the door, hmmmm security must really be good in this fantasy naija

25)Once you've seen an actor/actress in a movie role, you know what (s)he's going to do in future films e.g Patience Ozokwor. Very few of them are versatile in their roles.

Education / Re: Which Schools Are Currently Admiting On Pre-degree by yvy1(f): 1:42pm On Aug 02, 2007
@ cammax7, raphillo & Abium

Pls do not misunderstand me. All I'm trying to point out is that there are better choices than doing a pre- degree which is very restrictive (i.e admission only in to the school you did the programme) and there guarantee of getting in even if you do very well is not 100%. I know people that did pre degree programmes. While some got into the school they did the programme, most of them ended up seeking admission in other schools.

Besides is it not better to spend one year doing a programme that can get you in to 200L in any school you decide to apply to than to spend one year trying to get into 100L of just ONE school?

@Abium: I never said he could not get admission.

@raphillo: What schools? Federal, state or private?
Education / Re: Which Schools Are Currently Admiting On Pre-degree by yvy1(f): 2:05am On Aug 01, 2007
Pre degree ke/? Why do you want to do that? there is no guarantee you'll get admission in to the school or get the course of your choice. If boredom is catching you at home go and learn a useful skill that will help you earn money to help sustain yourself when you finally get a proper admission for the course you truly desire. Or if money dey, go write A'Levels and apply through direct entry or carry am go abroad (Ghana included) to get easy and better admission. Don't go and accept anyhow courses because you want to answer graduate otherwise you'll find out that you just went to school for nothing and become part of the millions of unemployable nigerian graduates.

Career / Re: What Course Can I Do While Waiting For Service? by yvy1(f): 12:57am On Jul 31, 2007
Get work experience. It is always very valuable. I have a friend in your boat. She has a B.Sc in accounting from convenant has gone to serve yet but she earns about 65k after taxes and has more work experience than most people that have completed NYSC. The trick is to look for small companies with about 3 directors and let them know you want to understudy them. Believe me by the time you go for NYSC and come back you'll be ready for the big companies. Meanwhile you can do a proffessional course concurrently. There are always graduate exemptions.

Hi yemmight,

I read through your uploaded docs and they were great. Thanx a lot for putting them up. But i need some clarification i am in the HR function of a rather small organisation with balance sheet in the tens of millions rather than hundreds or even billions. The documents u uploaded seems like they're for a much bigger organisation than mine, do u think that's true?? What kind of company do u work in? I also want to know how u got in touch with Human Edge, did u guys make the first move or they approached u? Cos i'm considering proposing hiring an HR consultant to my boss but i'mnot sure how it works and lastly apart from Human edge who has an idea of other good recruitment consutants that won't just chop our money without producing excellent candidates.

Thanks all

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Peopleprime Gfair Scorecard (your Expectations Fully Met?) by yvy1(f): 2:51pm On Jul 30, 2007
muchluv:

i would give them a 80 % rating for day 1 and a 40% rating for day 2 the fair had a good intention (thks 2 nike) but the companies invited were the flop. they were no ready to employ from the vast resources of undergraduates available to them at the fair som were even telling us to go online to drop our cv's so what did we come for? its just the next few months that would tell us the result of this fair and would either take it from 40 up or down,

True talk. though I feel they could have done the Id card thingy on day 1. That would have saved a lot of time.

Intentions: 100%, Organisation: 80%, Wastage of Time: 80%

Expected more from Peopleprime as it seemed to be promising when we wrote the exams in May but what the heck? It was the 1st time. Lessons learned from this one will be used to improve on subsequent fairs especially in the area of logistics, 3000 people to be interviewed in 1 day shocked How in the world could anybody think that it would have been possible and that all the candidates would have gotten fair and equal treatment?

Well, it just goes to show that it is REALLY TOUGH out there.

Celebrities / Re: Diddy's Opinion After Visit To Naija! by yvy1(f): 12:31am On Jul 29, 2007
I was at the show and there a few things I'ld like to point out that happened at least before I left at 12.30 am:

1. Shakira performed first, did her belly dancing and breast shaking moves, introduced members of her BAND and was tripped that naija peeps knew the lyrics to latino songs. She did about 11 of HER OWN songs

2: 1 hr of waitng for them to set up the stage for the new artist. No Basketmouth to keep us entertained like last year's concert (where the bobo waka go sef?)

3: John Legend performed 13 of his songs with his BAND and even got Nona Adimorah (younger sister of socialite Nkiru Anumudu and of the Ask Nona fame both in Thisday Newspapers and on Cool FM) to smooch shamelessly

4: 55mins of another stage set up (Teju Babyface was around, don't know why he wasn't called to crack some dry jokes.) Anyway Dare Art Alade kept us entertained with songs sha.

5: Rihanna comes in in her shimi (oops! sorry! Her baby doll dress) and starts to sing BOB MARLEY. Who sent her? Abi she no get her own hits? She does 4 of her songs and disappears, At least she sang umbrella, sos, hate that I love you and unfaithful, finish. No pon de replay, nothing else.

6: Another 1hr 15 mins of stage setting (thank God for Dare, Dan Foster and Kate Henshaw and Yemi (or is it Femi?) no try at all as co- comperes

7: D'BANJ The Koko master at his best, The best act of the evening, he was soooooooooo good. Guys anywhere he's performing go and watch him. You'll get your money's worth. He's the best young generation successor to Fela (move over Seun, Dede) brought some traditional acts and gave those bloody americans a good run for their money.

8: Another long wait. Honestly, Guys na im make the show drag long oh. I tire to dey count the minutes wey dey pass. Saheeto was selling small chops for 1k per plate. Drinks were N500 for plastic coke, canned beer, red bull. N3,500 for a bottle of very cheap red wine and 45k for champagne. GTBank make money oh as they were the only  coporate body there smart enough to install an atm machine in front of the VIP entrance so those of us who didn't plan properly and had small kishi in our account could show off.

9: KELLY ROWLAND:anybody seen Destiny's child live in Atlanta? if you haven't pls go and get it and add it to your dvd collection at least for entertainment. It's only N500 from your roadside DVD hawker. The moves were the same. Nothing strenous and she DID NOT faint from exhaustion. Na booze cause am. After all she boogied in Cubes on friday night. Nothing impressive about her performance cos I've watched it so many times before in DC live in Atlanta, same moves, same routine, same ol shit excet Beyonce and Michelle were not there to make noise with her. The dress she wore in naija was even shorter than the one in the video. She try sha. Sang about 5 songs then fainted while singing Say my name. We thought it was part of the act as her male dancers rushed to her but when we saw one of her female dancers panicking like they do in naija movies (putting her hands on her head) we raelised something was wrong. They carried her off stage after trying to revive her and the audience was chanting her name to give her moral support.

10: Every cloud has a silver lining. Kelly's misfortune was Sasha's fortune cos she got to perform when it was looking like naija artists like P Square would not have the chance to perform (just like last year) cos of time. Her perfomance was ok. I was too busy looking for small chops.

11. Diddy. B, d did BOB MARLEY (What?) shocked sad, Don't get me wrong I love Bob Marley but Diddy doing his songs! I couldn't find the co-relation. He came with Dj Scratch.(Yankee based Nairalanders should be more familliar with the Dj.) ONLY. NO BAND, NO DANCERS, NOTHING. Beautiful entrance but after that nothing spectacular. Covered other people's tracks that he either featured in or just knew were crowd pleasers. He's an entertainer not an artist. He kept saying it was good to be home and how he wanted to give nigerians their money's worth. So we thought he a genuine person not knowing that he was not in any way better than the average naija politician. Anyway Diddy the Phenomenom as a big name in the industry is what stole the show. Not Diddy the person. Afterall e no sabi dance. D'banj go just beat am hands down.

12. Abeg I just go house go sleep. wetin I wan watch again when work dey the next day? So I didn't see Ne-Yo perform.

Fashion / Re: The Best Female Boutique In Lagos Nigeria by yvy1(f): 3:06pm On Jul 28, 2007
It depends on your style, your size and your wallet. Collectibles is not good if you are a size 14 and above and if you are a bit conservative i.e you don't want to look like Beyonce on the red carpet everyday. Talk to me is more realistic. My advice to you is to wear a pair of flat shoes, an easy to take off outfit, a very good bra, carry a bottle of water and start from one end of Adeniran Ogunsanya. Try Bode Thomas too.
Then there is Emily's at LAfayette plaza on Saunusi Fafunwa in VI. Ask for people that bring in clothes from Jand. They always have nicer designs and good quality clothes and flexible payment schedules. Good Luck.
