Things are bad but evil people can play on our grief to cause more problems for us which will deepen the problem we are in.

Pls don’t blame him too much, he is following what one Adam did the other time

A first-class or university degree is not worthless, but it is not a guarantee of living the life you always dreamed of. The value of a degree depends on how well it is complemented by employability skills, market awareness, adaptability, and resilience.

In Nigeria and many other countries, graduates face multiple challenges, and the reasons can be grouped into economic factors, personal skill gaps, mindset barriers, and other socio-cultural factors.

1. Poor Economy & Job Market Reality
High unemployment rate means there are fewer jobs than graduates.
Sectors that could absorb graduates are underfunded or shrinking.
Many available jobs are in the informal sector, which may not match graduates’ expectations.

2. Poor Job Search Skills
Graduates may not know how or where to look for opportunities. Common weaknesses:

Not networking (relying only on job boards instead of industry contacts).
Not using LinkedIn or professional platforms effectively.
Applying for roles without tailoring applications to specific job requirements.

How to Improve:

Attend career fairs, webinars, and networking events.
Build a professional LinkedIn profile and engage in relevant groups.
Follow industry news to identify growth sectors.

3. Poor Representation of Skills on a Resume
Even with strong academic results, many graduates fail to communicate their skills effectively.

Resumes are too long, generic, or focused only on academic achievements without showing transferable skills like leadership, communication, or problem-solving.

How to Improve:

Learn ATS-compliant resume writing.
Use action verbs and measurable achievements.
Highlight internships, volunteer work, and certifications.

4. Poor Interview Skills
Some graduates meet job requirements but lose out due to:

Inability to articulate their value confidently.
Poor preparation on company background and role requirements.
Weak responses to behavioral or technical questions.

How to Improve:

Practice mock interviews.
Learn STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) technique for answering questions.
Prepare industry-specific success stories to demonstrate competence.

5. Blaming Everyone but Themselves
External factors are real, but some graduates avoid self-assessment, missing the chance to improve.
Solution: Embrace personal accountability and adopt a growth mindset.

6. Defeatist Attitude
Repeated rejections can lead to hopelessness, discouraging graduates from trying new strategies.
Solution: Build resilience through continuous learning, mentorship, and small achievable goals.

7. Spiritual or Cultural Beliefs
Some believe “village people” or spiritual forces are holding them back.
While faith and cultural beliefs are important to many, it’s critical to combine prayers with proactive skill development, networking, and continuous self-improvement.

8. Other Contributing Causes
Skills mismatch between academic training and market needs.
Lack of internship or work experience before graduation.
Over-reliance on government or white-collar jobs instead of exploring entrepreneurship or the gig economy.

Final Thought:
A degree is a tool, not the destination. To achieve dream jobs, graduates must combine their academic achievements with marketable skills, strategic job search, strong personal branding, and adaptability to the evolving job market.

It’s very painful and that feeling is really sad.

Report this experience, don’t just keep quiet about it.

You weren’t the only Nigerians who entered Cape Verde that week.

O Lord we are at your mercy! Help us we pray.

Additionally, men in motorcycles coming at odd hours with no military presence in your area is enough intelligence to know that these kind of movements are not normal.

Taking issues as e no concern me are the reasons we are falling victims to these kind of brutal attacks.

Communities needs to be proactive.

Came out with your full chest and lie

The Bible encourages wisdom, diligence, stewardship, and contentment, not recklessness or idolatry of wealth. Jesus taught us to seek first the kingdom (Matthew 6:33), but He also affirmed principles of planning and responsibility (Luke 14:28).

10 Practical Ways Christians Can Attain Financial Independence (With Spiritual & Physical Impacts)

Strategy Spiritual Impact Physical/Financial Impact
1 Tithing & Generosity (Malachi 3:10) Builds trust in God as Provider Attracts favor, resets money mindset
2 Living Below Means (1 Tim. 6:6–10) Cultivates contentment & humility Reduces debt & increases savings
3 Avoiding Debt (Proverbs 22:7) Reduces bondage & anxiety Frees income for investing & emergencies
4 Budgeting Wisely (Luke 14:28) Honors God through stewardship Keeps expenses under control
5 Saving & Investing (Proverbs 21:20) Encourages delayed gratification Builds wealth over time
6 Multiple Streams of Income (Eccl. 11:2) Empowers self-reliance under God’s guidance Protects from financial storms
7 Skilled Work & Diligence (Prov. 22:29) Brings excellence and honor Leads to promotions and business growth
8 Avoiding Get-Rich-Quick Schemes (Prov. 13:11) Encourages patience and trust in process Prevents loss and regret
9 Generational Planning (Prov. 13:22) Builds legacy for children’s children Encourages wise use of assets
10 Using Wealth for the Kingdom (2 Cor. 9:8–11) Promotes eternal value and purpose Makes money a servant, not a master.

Key Takeaway
Christians are not called to worship money—but to master it for God’s glory, their family’s good, and their community’s growth.

Financial independence done God’s way promotes peace, purpose, and preparedness.

Stay blessed.

​Yes, South African midfielder Teboho Mokoena received yellow cards in both recent FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against Benin and Zimbabwe. In the match against Benin on November 18, 2023, he was booked in the 58th minute for a late challenge on Jodel Dossou. In the subsequent game against Zimbabwe on June 11, 2024, Mokoena received a yellow card in the 52nd minute for a bad foul. Accumulating yellow cards in consecutive matches may lead to suspension, depending on the competition's disciplinary rules.​

The period between Jesus' crucifixion and the destruction of Jerusalem was marked by significant historical and spiritual events. Here’s a summary of what happened:

Please come with me🙏

1. The Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus (c. 30–33 AD)
Jesus rose from the dead three days after His crucifixion (Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20).
He appeared to His disciples over 40 days, teaching them about the Kingdom of God (Acts 1:3).
Jesus ascended to heaven from the Mount of Olives (Acts 1:9-11), promising to return.

2. The Birth of the Church (Pentecost, c. 30–33 AD)
The Holy Spirit was poured out on the disciples at Pentecost (Acts 2).
Peter preached, and about 3,000 people were saved in one day.
The early Christian church grew rapidly despite persecution.

3. Persecution of the Church (c. 30s–60s AD)
Jewish leaders opposed the followers of Jesus:
Stephen, the first Christian martyr, was stoned to death (Acts 7).
Saul (later Paul) persecuted Christians before converting (Acts 9).
Roman persecution increased, starting with Emperor Nero (54–68 AD):
In 64 AD, Nero blamed Christians for the Great Fire of Rome and executed many (including Paul and Peter).

4. Spread of Christianity (c. 30s–60s AD)
The Gospel spread beyond Jerusalem into Judea, Samaria, and the Gentile world (Acts 1:.
Paul’s missionary journeys (c. 46–60s AD) took the Gospel to Asia Minor, Greece, and Rome.
Gentiles (non-Jews) started joining the faith in large numbers.

5. Jewish-Roman Tensions and the Jewish Revolt (66–70 AD)
In 66 AD, the Jews revolted against Roman rule.
The Romans, under General Vespasian and later Titus, retaliated.
In 70 AD, the Roman army besieged Jerusalem, killing hundreds of thousands.
The Temple was burned and completely destroyed, fulfilling Jesus’ prophecy (Luke 19:41-44, Matthew 24:1-2)

This period was a turning point in history, as Christianity separated from Judaism and became a global movement, while Jerusalem’s destruction marked the end of the Jewish Temple system.

Proof that you guys kno what to do most of the time.

She was so right to dump you; you reek of pride

Kemi rest ooo and stop using us to play gane

Oguchialu Chijioke Onyewu // ⓘ (born May 13, 1982) is an American former soccer player who is the Vice President of Sporting for the United States Soccer Federation.[3] He was previously the sporting director for Orlando City B[4] and secretary-general of R.E. Virton.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was ‘knocked over’ with ‘ease’ by his then-Milan teammate Oguchi Onyewu in a notorious fight that broke up during a training session more than 10 years ago, as revealed by Alexandro Pato in an interview.

The ex-Brazilian striker was also in the Rossoneri’s squad back then and was among the witness of a brawl that only ended when players yelled at the former American defender, urging him to stop as he was going to ‘kill’ Ibrahimovic.

The battle between the two took place in November 2011, in a season that would see Milan’s Massimiliano Allegri go on to win their 18th Scudetto, which was their first Serie A title in seven years.

Ibrahimovic scored 14 league goals that season and was among the leaders of the team, but Pato recalled how a dangerous sliding tackle from the Swede during a training session ended up triggering a violent reaction from Onyewu.

Jimi Disu again!

Believe him at your own peril.

His agitation and comments during the Jonathan era is what we are suffering now. Mtchewww

That 18years old entry level into universities will stifles successes like these.

Coming in 18 or less has benefits on both sides but what matters is guidance.

Trump presidency will embolden tyranny, isolationism, populism, capitalism and racism. If you support him it just goes to show that the world is really coming to an end; all these the conservatives wants.

Something must end the present system of things!

The leg chain make sense.

Nice work all the same

So none of the funds went through banks in the US?

So when the transfer was initiated, the bank where the funds were been held did not flag the owner of the account before allowing such funds to be transferred?

How come they are quick to mention banks outside the US.

Hmmm!!

Cyber criminals are evil people and must be brought to book!!

They keep quiet because we will turn them into victims. Really the girl child is really disadvantaged and we should empower them from childhood.

As for the suspect, we should drag uniben to conduct an investigation or we bypass them.

Students Union will not speak up now, na to de collect money and shout Aluta for nothing!!

immortalcrown:
A proper investigation should be done and anyone found guilty should be duly punished.

But why didn't all these girls speak out until now? Is there something I am missing? Two girls were raped by the same man in one evening in one room and the girls kept quiet. It sounds crazy that the first girl, after her own turn, even called in the second one. If actually all these girls were sexually assaulted by the man, we need to also drag the stupid girls while dragging the man. Why will you wait for long before calling out a rapist that deserves an immediate lynching? Nawa oh!

Well, let a proper investigation be conducted and let justice not be tampered with mercy.

Mtschewww!! I dislike the cultural dance welcome part
