  • IN VIEW: 6 simple tips to make a great first impression


    I’m sure you’ve heard it before that it only takes six seconds for someone to form a first impression. So how can you use those six seconds to your best advantage? Be prepared. If you know you’re going to be meeting someone new, it pays to come to the meeting prepared.

    I’ve gathered six simple suggestions that can help you feel more prepared for that next important first impression — whether you’re headed for a job interview, a new client meeting, or a party with a lot of people you don’t know well, these steps can help ease your nervousness and help you nail those six seconds.

    1. Smile!
      People like other people who are friendly and open, and a nice smile can open a lot more doors than your resting grump face. Smiling also projects confidence and makes you appear trustworthy.
    2. Be prepared.
      Whatever the situation, follow the Boy Scout motto and be prepared. If it’s a job interview that might mean you practice answering questions, familiarize yourself with the company, bring any required paperwork, and have a few backup copies of your resume on hand. For a presentation, practice (a lot), have all the tech you could possibly need, arrive early, know what questions are likely to be asked, and so on.
    3. Do a little research.
      If you know you’re going to be meeting someone new, do a little research ahead of time. Find out their hobbies, associations they’re a part of, or causes they support. LinkedIn makes this easy, but there are also apps, like Refresh, which can deliver a dossier on your contacts before any meeting automatically. Of course, don’t act like a stalker; keep the topics to things that make sense in a business setting, like asking about a board they serve on, rather than complimenting them on their latest Facebook photos.
    4. Arrive early.
      You may have heard the old saying, “To be early is to be on time; to be on time is to be late; to be late is to be sorry!” It’s especially apt when meeting someone new. Being on time shows that you’re responsible and respectful, but if you arrive a few minutes early, you’ll have time to use the restroom, check your appearance, and compose yourself before your meeting. It’s important to add extra time in case of inclement weather, traffic, finding parking, etc.
    5. Turn off distractions.
      There’s nothing more embarrassing than having your phone go off in the middle of an important introduction or meeting — unless it’s actuallychecking your phone during said meeting. Set your phone to silent before you ever arrive, and, if the vibrations letting you know you’ve been retweeted are still too big a temptation, turn the whole thing off.
    6. Be curious.
      When it comes to conversation skills, simply being curious will help you truly engage with the person you’re speaking to. Ask thoughtful questions and really listen to the answer, instead of using the time to plan your response.

  • POLITICS: APC's Financial Breakdown of Jonathan's 2015 Presidential Campaign – Must Read!

    By Efio-Ita Nyok| 15 March 2015| 7:30 am

    Below is a financial breakdown of President Goodluck Jonathan's 2015 presidential campaigns by one Cramjones alleged to be Fani Femi- Kayode(FFK) on Nairaland:

    1. Over $40 million were distributed to Pastors and
    other Christian leaders.

    2. Over $25 million were distributed to Imams in the
    North.

    3. Over $20 million were distributed to traditional
    leaders accross the country. Each traditional leader
    in the South West received between $250,000 to
    $300,000 from the President.

    4. Each rally costed at least $10 million: This
    includes, payment of about N500 – N3000 ($3 –
    $17) to mobilize “supporters”, security, logistics,
    private jet transports etc. Multiply by at least 30
    states will give over $300 million!!!

    5. Media houses were bribed with millions, we were
    not privy to how much each received, but we can
    category say that AIT was given a check of $45
    million to do their hatchet jobs.

    6. Social media campaigns has gulped another $50
    millions: This includes payment for short youtube
    videos, nairaland campaigns, twitter and facebook
    paid groups. Payment of people like Fani Kayode,
    Okupe, Omokri, Abati, bloggers like Linda Ikeji and
    others.

    7. Another $8 million each was paid to each PDP
    governor for “mobilization” of their people and
    various stakeholders.

    8. Each minister received at least $1m – $2m for
    mobilization as well.

    9. Several diasporan organizations have received a
    total of $3 million. These organizations are mainly
    based in the UK, United States and Canada.

    10. $10million was reserved for Foreign media
    “mobilization”. Fani Kayode and others did their best
    to see how they could win Foreign media,
    unfortunately the only media that accepted Op-Ed or
    campaign related posts were the Washington Post
    and Washington Times. When it caused so much
    uproar, WP declined further publications. Also
    unfortunately for GEJ and his team. The US and UK
    govt are not in support of his Presidency, and major
    Foreign media like the New York Times and The
    Economist ALWAYS check with their governments
    before a major article is written about other foreign
    governments. Hence the duo supporting General
    Mohammadu Buhari.
    In summary, after putting all the estimates we have,
    the GEJ government has literally squandared
    National wealth in the excess of $1billion to win a
    disgruntled public that only wants change!

    Why I do not completely agree with the above publication by an APC crony, it should be emphasised that elections in any democracy is quite expensive. However, the source of the funding should be legitimate.

    In my opinion, the funding of both the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)'s and All Peoples Progressive Congress (APC)'s presidential campaigns among others has been mysterious, especially the APC. I am asking for the umpteenth time, who funds Mohammadu Buhari's presidential campaigns!? There has never been an answer! He borrowed 27.5 million naira for the APC presidential nomination form but his wife confesses to spending over 133 million naira on charity.

    Beyond Governor Rotimi Amaechi's 10 billion or thereabout, Atiku Abubakar's 900 million naira, and Bola Tinubu's billions, how does the APC generate her fund? These trio cannot basically fund Buhari thus far.

    President Goodluck Jonathan's alleged $1billion is taxpayers'; Mohammadu Buhari's unquantifiable billions is whose!?
