Drawbacks of Online Job Application
If tens of thousands apply for a job, is it possible that not even one of them would make the mark? Tired of his state of unemployment, Adeniran Ayodele sought the shortcut to getting a job by sending a bulk message to different human resources, HR, firms and companies, attaching his curriculum vitae, CV, along with his application. As usual, he did not get a reply to any of the 24 emails except one. The sender was kind enough to reply to him thus: “Hello Ayodele, I hope this is not meant to be an application because…

President Goodluck Jonathan had presented the budget to a joint session of the NASS on October 10, 2012. The verbal attacks and counter-attacks since then gave…

Boom Time for the Economy?
With the projected economic growth rate of 6.5 per cent for 2013, analysts say the prospect for the country’s economy is bright. However, developments in some key sectors and uncertainty surrounding the global economy could impede the growth “Let me assure all of you and indeed all Nigerians that 2013 will be better for us than 2012 in all aspects of the nation’s history. The New Year shall be better for us in terms of job creation, wealth creation and improved security among others.” These were the assurances of President Goodluck Jonathan to Nigerians recently after he…
The National Assembly, NASS, has been basking in a rare euphoria of success since December 20, last year when it passed the N4.98 trillion 2013 Appropriation Bill. Members of both chambers have since been thumping their chests and crediting themselves for the early passage. Indeed, it is the first time since 1999 that the budget would be presented and passed in the same year. This time around, members of the House of Representatives, who had issues with the Executive over the partial implementation of the 2012 budget, passed the budget despite threats. It is a good thing…
Besides serving as sanctuaries for a large army of the orphaned, the abandoned and other street children, orphanages offer services that make up for the parental love, care and guidance Despite their tender age, they are neglected by society. In their midst are the abandoned, the discarded, and the hopeless. For no fault of theirs, the world around them is devoid of every trace of filial love, and it also mostly robs them of all the appurtenances of good living, which their more privileged counterparts often take for granted. Although the future is supposed to belong to…

We Will Be Nigeria’s New Broadband Champion – Ademola Eleso, chief executive officer designate of the new Starcomms For subscribers of the CDMA, better days appear to be here. This is because when the merger of Starcomms, Multi-Links and MTS is fully consummated, a fresh breathe of life would have been injected into the ailing CDMA sub-sector of the telecoms industry. The completion of the merger, already in its final stage, will amount to Starcomms having a contiguous 20MHz of spectrum in the 1900MHz range, the biggest in Nigeria, following the injection into the company by Capcom…
