When i entered for the Etisalat geek internship contest, i asked for your help and you guys came through for me! Thanks once again. After the top 20 guys were voted, we faced an Etisalat interview panel where we were futher slashed down to 10 guys! I am delighted to inform you all that I am among the 10 selected. Over the next 6 weeks we will work in 5 different departments at etisalat and at the end of the week there will be appraisals. A candidate will be eliminated at the end of each week in respect to appraisal levels and number of votes he gets from the public.

Since i aint much of a writter im just gonna copy and past an article for you guys to read. its really heartbreaking for me.

Nigeria Senate Approves Marriage for Underage Children

The Senate of Federal republic of Nigeria has approved the marriage of under-aged children irrespective of their age in the country. This new law will proscribe the 18 year-old rule for any Nigerian child to qualify to engaged into a conscious agreement of marriage.

The Senates claimed that a woman is deemed to be full of age once she is married irrespective of her age.The Proponents or supporters of the under-age marriage rule includes Senator Yerima Ahmad Sani, Zamfara West, who claimed that the provision which stipulates a certain age for women before getting married, was at variance with Islamic law.

After a moment of controversy, Senate President David Mark asked his colleagues to vote afresh on the provision, a situation that eventually went in favour of Sani, who, thereafter, thanked the Senate president and his colleagues for supporting his cause.

It is worthy of note that Senator Yerima Ahmad Sani had two years ago married a 13-year-old Egyptian in violation of the constitutional provision.

I am not much of a writer so forgive me if this isn't a compelling piece. Anyways, for those of you that don't know, Nigeria is the world's most populous black nation. 162.5 million people as at the last count.Also very very very religious nation, but still Nigeria is the 35th most corrupt nation in the world.

anyways am off to earn my pay... I'd continue when i get back. Cheers

just got back home awfully tired

Anyways, Did you guys know Nigeria is the second country to ban same sex marriage? Nigeria recognizes neither same-sex marriages nor civil unions for same-sex couples. Homosexuality can land men up to 14 years in prison in Southern Nigeria and capital punishment for men in areas under Sharia Islamic Law. And the awful thing is that over 90% support the federal ban. God i was born in the wrong country! 90% of my fellow country men think its the government's duty to determine who one is allowed to love. Don't get me wrong, I ain't gay, neither am i totally okay with the idea of same sex marriage(blame it on the kind of environment i was brought up in), however i think its no ones business who someone else chooses to marry.

You know things are really crazy here when you got this Nigerian HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER arguing for the same sex ban!

I gotta go for now guys.. connecting to the internet is pretty costly here. talk to you all later

THANK YOU!!!
