I have seen and watched several games involving National Under 20 football teams of Nigeria, but i think this particular team currently playing in Morocco is the worst ever team. No drive, no skills, no hunger and no common sense. The so called Yakub, the 2nd keeper that came to substitute Harcourt is another disgrace
According to Chief Chuba Okadigbo (of blessed memory), "It is a sign of political sagacity to understand political arithmetic". Pres. Tinubu is sagaciously undertaking a political arithmetic.
Umahi is a man. I stand with you on this. Julius Berger has always been used to embezzle money from Governments. The glory of the Lord has departed from Julius Berger and their sponsors.
Gistmedia10: In a viral birthday moment that has sparked mixed reactions, a young Nigerian man, believed to be under 25, was seen lavishly spraying bundles of Naira notes on his girlfriend during her birthday celebration. In a clip making the rounds on social media, the girl's mother was seen jubilantly packing the money, drawing widespread criticism online.
Netizens were quick to question the source of the wealth, with one commenting: "Where does he work? What is his tax clearance status? Can we see his payroll records? How did he come across the money he's splashing around? @officialEFCC, it’s time to sanitize the country!"
Another user expressed disappointment in the mother’s actions: "Instead of the mother to ask questions, she’s busy jubilating... If anything bad happens to her daughter now, God forbid, they will come here and start shouting that Nigeria happened to her!"
Many questioned the priorities and moral standards of the family, with one commenter stating: "Wetin poverty dey cause... see the mom of the little girl picking money without doing the needful."
This incident has reignited conversations around the unchecked flaunting of wealth by young Nigerians, the potential involvement of cybercrime, and the responsibilities of parents in ensuring their children’s safety and wellbeing.
femisplash: According to report, the Lukarawa terrorists were invited and accommodated by the locals in 2018 until they became a monster. The major reason terrorism would not breed in Kano is because the residents themselves will lynch any terrorist at sight if they get a sniff of him. The lucky ones were those that were tied down by the community until security agencies come to whisk him away. They don't tolerate terrorism in Kano. Wonder why they are a different breed to other Northern states.
God bless Nigerian Army.
This is understandable. Kano is a Hausa community hijacked by the Fulanis. The Fulanis are mainly the terrorists and not Hausa people
psucc: Then like father like daughter. I remember solving homework for my son and he got 3/5, bros the guy nearly beat me. Since then he will never allow me near him when doing his homework let alone touching his books.
teepain: Well done @op. The problem is half-solved because you have identified the root cause which is the fact that your daughter's previous mathematics teachers did a poor job.
How I will go about it with the steps are enumerated below:
1. I will sit with her and praise her intelligence (citing the accolades from her English teacher as prove) and emphasize that she has the ability to gain mastery of any subject with her gift.
2. I will challenge her to use her intelligence to work harder at her maths and tell her that we are in it together as a team. And that I will provide all the assistance in terms of resources required for the task.
3. I will engage a maths teacher that has proven record of imparting skills to students at my daughter's level for extra coaching
4. I will get her a good maths textbook that has a workbook and make practice all the exercises.
Note: Mathematics is one of the easiest subjects to learn because it is more of routine. Once you understand the procedure for solving a problem, you would be able to solve similar problems any other time.
psucc: Effect of nursery school Education. Op, how good are you in mathematics so that you can assist her develop interest first. Once she has interest in the subject, her performance will improve
Jeezuzpick: I was exactly like your daughter back when I was in Secondary School. Poor in Maths, or so I thought. Excellent in English.
I had A1 in English. P7 in Maths.
I left school, read on my own, wrote GCE and had an A3 in Maths. It was before the current grading system.
I cracked the code of Maths, which is simple: Constant Practice, and understanding of basic principles.
I went on to University and am now an Engineer.
My advice? JS 1 is too early to form an opinion about your daughter. Try to encourage her to practice math, and find ways to pique her interest in it, because, whatever her career choices are, math will be compulsory for her throughout secondary school. The worst thing you can do s let her believe she cannot be good in math from this early.
CaveAdullam: Please, encourage her to study mathematics.
Mathematics is key. Mathematics is important.
Being good in mathematics opens a good path to success in the future. Either in STEM or finance.
Never encourage her to do arts and humanities. Except as 2nd or 3rd degree.
Personally, aside Mathematics, English, and Computer studies, students should not be forced to study other (irrelevant) subjects in high school.
Those 3 subjects are enough. Bulky subjects makes learning difficult. That's why many students finds it hard to do well in school.
Mathematics is a sweet difficult subject. It requires patience, determination, and time.
To help your daughter, find a good mathematics home teacher for her.
Break the mathematics curriculum into weeks. Use her JSS1 textbook to do so. Follow her home tutor to do this. From there you can track her progress.
Expose her to mathematics videos - quizzes, movies, competition, etc.
Reward her for every topic she learned and understand. Test her with the textbook questions. This will encourage her to learn faster and find the subject enjoyable.
Everything good takes time. Including mathematics.
Barteze: Do parents still choose career paths for their children? Have you asked her what course she would like to read? Does she have passion for nursing or any medical course as you are planning?
yinkeys: There are a ton of YouTube channels & textbooks that can make her like maths Nothing good in life comes easy If she’s so into languages she can learn Chinese, because they’re conquering the world An African who can speak Chinese in Nigeria will never lack jobs thanks to networking The Chinese have companies all over Africa At that age, you can still mold her into becoming a T-shaped learner. It’s still too early She probably has bad or wicked maths teachers Maybe not student friendly textbooks too
uncleck: Allow her to finish SS1 and see her performance in English language, mathematics, Biology, physics and Chemistry. Introduce her to one other language too. Her results after SS1 will determine...
In the meantime, encourage her to take on public speaking and open SM accounts for her...
ETHIX: Please kindly get her a personal maths Teacher, At this level she can still be taught Maths from the scratch and don’t conclude that she is not good at it when you have not done your part.
There is PLENTY of time for her to explore her career choices and make a decision for what path to take in university.
And bear in mind that even what you study at uni may have no future bearing on your career path, as I've seen Doctors become successful financiers and Engineers become great bakers.
So please free her. Let her push her Math skills some more and polish up the English skills as far as she can.
Sonnobax15: Most of us were good at a Particular subject back then.......But that didn't make us look as if we were dullards.....I was so good in physics back in secondary school that when I got into polytechnic,my first semester physics courses,I didn't even study hard but got A's in all of them.......But when it comes to mathematics,if I pass self,I dey imagine how come about . ,cuz I wasn't good at it all...
Op,you should sit your daughter down and reason with her.....At least she's still very young and very much likely to catch up......But in case she isn't interested in maths, don't force her...... Just let her choose what's on her mind and go after it ..
