Technology is a necessary evil for a parent, and as a parent in this digital age, I have a love-hate relationship with technology. Sure, it's convenient to buy things online, communicate with others, entertain yourself, and even work; it can also be a real pain in the neck.

Case in point: this morning, my toddler was screaming her lungs out because I didn’t let her watch Baby Shark, as I felt I needed to reduce her screen time and engage her some other way, like with her toys for learning, but this girl wasn’t having it. It can be quite easy for parents to be sucked into always engaging their little ones with these electronic gadgets, but it's important to find a balance and incorporate the way our parents who didn’t have these gadgets engaged us with them.

This get me thinking too. My 7 months plus boy won't allow me and the mom use our phones close to him without screaming for either of phone. The mother have started pressing me to get children pad for him, im ignoring her, i know is a matter of time, she's going to get it for him. This boy can spent an hour on her laptop watching cartoons and children songs she downloaded for him.

Nigeria can achieve these when our time of Independent years reach those countries own. We Nigerians don't believe in process but quickly compare those developed nations' Achievement with ours but not ready to wait and do what it takes to do than condemnation , not appriciating and value their.. Those things were not build in a year ok.

Whats this one talking about??
How old is South Africa? Yet Nigeria can't be compare South Africa in term of infrastructure.

Quotation of the page where it is in the civil service rule would have made me get informed.
Someone advised the writer to go for another degree or else his degree will never be recognised in the future even for promotion.
Aside conversion/ upgrading, I am yet to see where it is stated in the civil service rule that a degree you got before your first appointment with a lower cader like nice will never be recognised by the ministry in the future when you will need it for promotion to a higher level like level 15.

.Conversion/Upgrading do not equate to salary increment to match the new level.
So, what they call conversion/upgrading to a new level is nothing but a new level in the mouth.Workers who are on that level by promotion are the only ones that earn appropriate salary while the converted ones will be earning their previous salary while on the new level.
So. It is only a titular position.So you may forget conversion.

Moreover, you will need your degree when you will be going for promotion to level 15 and above depending on where you work.Thats when your new salary grade level will reflect in your salary.As u wait till then, u can go for masters if u can afford it.

Im in the civil service but not heard of this or read it anywhere

Hmmmm big problem

I recently got a Job with my ND certificate despite having HND. They said they only have vacancy for ND. I accepted it... But my helper is telling me after IPPIS they can write a letter to include my HND. But with what i am reading here, I will just resign the job before IPPIS comes....

They ll not consider ur hnd. You have to apply for study leave 2-3 years after employed. Either degree or through pgd up to master before u apply for conversion. Im in the process now.

niyiduke01:
@op, This particular issue is applicable to both federal and state MDAs, The only option for you is to apply for studies approval and proceed to master's program, after that you can present it for upgrading to the deserved level.ciao

The master sef, most be in the field of work or except he is ready to change department if otherwise.

Ahhh, many things. First of, her understanding about life, cleanliness, her smartness, intelligence and how she takes care of our son.

Sorry for the long write up my people, I need advice.

My first son has been behaving somehow in our family, as if he's not part of this family...
You and this boy can be in the same house but you might not set your eyes on him once for a whole day. He will be inside his room through out...

He has been telling me that he is currently working on going to rent his own place and live on his own and that if God helps him and he is able to achieve that, He will not have anything to do with our family again and that we will never set eyes on him ever again :[ ...

I would have not been bothered by such statement if it were coming from someone else, I would take it as a bluff. But this my son is someone that normally doesn't call people to check on them, not even us his parents..

When he was in his previous University before he dropped out, this boy can go for months, that is a whole semester stretch without calling anybody to know how you're doing, except you call him or maybe he wants to ask for money for something or school stuff....

We have five children and he is the first, the second and third children are away in University, he and the two last siblings are the only one's with us.. My husband refused him from going to University in a far place instead he gives him transport money to be going to his own University from home everyday...... He and his father don't even talk again except good morning greetings. He is only 21 ohh..

Let me give you guys small back story so that you can understand how all these things started.

My son graduated from secondary school (a boarding school) in 2017 at 16 years old... Initially, he said he wanted to study computer science as he said that was the course he loved and wanted to study. But my husband refused and persuaded him to study pharmacy because he worked at NAFDAC and he saw the way pharmacy graduates were living at his work place and the salary they were recieving. He and one of his chemist friend sweet talked him into going to study the course and I guess it was because he was young then and could not challenge his dad then that was why he gave in....

He wrote JAMB but he did not meet the cut of mark for pharmacy (but I later realised his score was good for computer science then)... No public University was willing to admit him for pharmacy then because his score was not good for the course but due to my husband love for the course and not wanting my son to lose admission that year , he decided to go the way of private University not minding their school fees...Long story cut short, my son got admitted into Madonna University where we were paying 1M naira every year.....After 3 years in the school and in 300L @18 years old, he began saying he was not interested in the school any longer, that he was tired of the course, that he's body is no longer in the school and blablabla that he wants to go and play football in Europe...

He came back for holiday during the beginning of covid and refused to go back to the school when they resumed, saying that he was only wasting our money by being in that school and he did not want to continue.....This got my husband really sad and angry....My son stayed home for almost two years doing nothing because my husband was adamant that if he would not go back to school, nothing for him, that all the money he has spent for school fees in that school can not be for waste that he can become a footballer after he graduates, saying no one can become a successful footballer without being a graduate, that it would later affect them in life...

But my son refused. I must confess, my son is extremely good at playing football. That was the talent i can confidently say that God personally gave to him from birth. Infact when he was graduating from secondary school, they gave him the award for the best graduating footballer and he was always the centre of attention anytime he plays at our church events. He friends used to call him "nima" then, I think...

I and my husband got tired of him staying at home for long so I went to meet with one pastor in our street who was based in the UK with his family but comes home sometimes for church related matters. I explained my son's situation to him and he offered to help my son travel out to chase his football career provided we have the funds for it. The man was secondary school class mates with "victor ikpe ekong" who was a former super eagles player but currently a pastor in Sweden. To my greatest surprise he called him on a WhatsApp video call in my presence and i was really surprised...He gave me the man's phone number to keep in contact and also scheduled a day to meet with my husband and have a discussion.. I told my son and he was very happy..I also told my husband and he was eager to meet with him at least, anything to solve my sons idleness at the time..

The pastor came to my our house on several occasions and discussed with my husband. My husband kept telling the pastor, saying he would like my son to be going to school while chasing his football career at the same time, a feat which pastor let us know would be difficult as one has to be dropped for the other. Unfortunately, my husband changed he's mind and said he was no longer interested in the whole footballer thing. He said he knew that my son wanted to become a footballer only because of girls. That he, my son knew that if he becomes a footballer, all the girls would like him, that that was the only reason he wanted to become a footballer, and that if football was his true destiny, he doesn't need to travel out for it to manifest, that he can be in Nigeria and make it from here.....That was how that chapter close like that. Pastor left for England few months after.....

After years of my son staying at home, my husband got tired. One night, he hired some Street thugs to come take my son away and beat him up...my son stayed with them for 2 weeks. When he returned, he said he was ready to go back to school. But my husband told him he won't be going back to any private University again. My son wrote jamb again to study computer science and was admitted into COOU. but my said he would not allow him go to any University that is not in the same state we are residing. Now the problem here was that all the public schools in the state we are staying will not accept you to study computer science unless you did chemistry in jamb. And my son did not do chemistry in jamb because he is not good in chemistry. If he was to study in the same state we were staying, he had to settle for another course, which he did...Now another problem arose. My husband refused to rent an apartment for my son around the school because the school is considerably far from our house, instead he decided to be giving him money (2000) everyday as transport fare to be going from home. This did not sit down well with my the boy and he again, said he was no longer interested in schooling again sef that he can't be going such far distance from home to the school everyday to study a Course he does not even like siting that it would be stressful and affect his academics and that it was unwise to be paying 60k a year as school fees while you spend 2k everyday as transport..My husband got angry and called on our estate CSO to come pick him up. They beat him so badly in public that when he got back home later in the evening, I went to check him in his room, his buttocks and back where scarred and red with huge marks...

Ever since, he has been going to the school from home and he has become very distant from us especially his dad. They don't talk again in the same house except "good morning sir"...

My son has turned into something else. He can stay indoors from morning till night. I would have said he has started keeping bad company but he does not even have a single friend, not one..Nobody calls him, and he doesn't call anybody...I have five children and he is the first. The second and third already gained admission this year in a private University and are in school currently, so he and he's last two siblings are the only one's with us now..

Why I'm writing this is because I'm scared..I'm beginning to fear that my son might commit suicide, he's beginning to show that kind of attitude.. And the plans he have to leave us forever to go and stay alone, I don't like it ohhhh...

Nairalanders please I need your advice.

Madam, im angry with ur husband and u.
I cant understand a man behaving like a 1687 father in this jet age by imposing a cousre his son has no passion and hiring thugs to kidnapped and brutalised him
U didn't do much to protect and stand by as such he felt u are in his dad side.
U need to work extra hard to get into his heart.

raphretle:
Was wondering if schools still have shorthand in their curriculum..
Also do people still use it for administrative purposes considering the fact that one could use a phone to record a conversation and then later on use it.
For those who learnt it in school, can you read shorthand notes?

Yeah, in my jss 2 business studies.
I was the his sef but now d thing don disappeared for my brain.

Schoolguy9:
Some women have this inbuilt desire to control the people around them especially the male folks and you see it happening in the society, family and within marriages.

It baffles me because women do not desire to be interefered with in issues that concern them yet you see them justling to determine what course their brothers study, what time their husbands should come back home and whose mother comes for Omugwo first!

All these things are even worse when the man is inexperienced. For crying out loud, why is it in some women's nature to control everything that concerns men?

The right key word is manipulation not control per say.

I am very good with fore plays but she is the only lady i have been with that after kissing and sucking for minutes she will still not be wet. it puts me off the sex mood.

As if we married the same type of women.
I never believed a lady ll denied me sex not to talk my wife. My wife only allowed me sex when she likes when I pursue her. I don't want to force it on her.
Ur only bet now, is to accept ur fate and continue to pursue her or u cheat which is not an option to me.

Is the deputy governor a Christian?

APC, no. PDP, yes.

copyrites:
Not only that, I see a situation where churches like RCCG and many other southern churches will completely pack up in the North.

Obi (the only Christian and most qualified candidate in terms of power rotation and credibility) losing this election will shake Christianity in Nigeria.


Trust me, I have many Northern Christians as friends. And right now, they see Southern Christians (especially those from the WEST) as extreme bigots.

After seeing the results from Ekiti and a few ward results from Ondo, one of them just called to express his anger. He is from Kaduna and he's asking why Obi couldn't even win one ward in a supposed Christian states where 45 people were murdered in a church in broad day light and nothing has happened to the killers?

This is a well bred Hausa man who delivered his polling unit to an Igbo man in KD. These people have suffered heavily and they thought having a Christian president who understands their plight will give them some encouragement.

I don't wanna insult you this early morning but u must be very naive and so stupid of u to think because of the election Christians in North will denounce their faith.
Is there any part of the country that have suffered more persecution than the christian in the north?? Did they renown or denounce their faith??
Do you think our Christianity is about prosperity like those in South?
Our Christianity is rooted deeply in following Christ no matter what happened.
If southerners faces what face down here, there won't be any Christian in that place, quote me anywhere

Just a matter of time they will realize that, Hausa/Fulani are good in jamming others tribe head for their selfish gains. I used to think yuruba are smart but this election proof me wrong.
