even muhhammed wud av been gay. daTZ revealing..from a muslim scholar..tut he was only an arsonist, rapist, burgler and pronounced thieve...never knew he was gay.
maybe someday when..arsonists and buglers and rapist starts advocating for inculcation in2 the society maybe thats wen they wl reveal muhammeds(SAW) OTHER NATURE and trade he was perfect at.
no hard feelings jst ma observation. bcuz according 2 ZAHED even ur so called KORAN supports gay...itz hard time u muslim folks WAKEUP N BECOME PAGAN B4 ITS TOO LATE.

I am not a pastor buh I am sensing the end time..open your eyes and be delivered, the RAPTURE HAVE BEGUN...innocent souls dying here and there like never before...life is not short its the time that is fast, the 1000 years is coming to an end..occulus dei. even if you hate the word REPENT, then change your ways for good and draw the word of God closer as your guide....ma same reason for converting from Islam 2 Christianity.

caseless: nansense! It was in the name of search and raid that police killed, abuse their wives, children, and destroyed their schools. Today they are paying us over what police did to them. Smh

caseless, you are indeed caseless.

goodbobo: You all will be shocked at the end of days to know that God almighty does not know any Religious Big names (Pope , Pastors , Bishop and Cadinal ) . What He cares about is You doing his will according to the Bible . Has a church leader, are u doing His will , are u teaching his words just as it is in the bible . Are u bowing down for craving Image ( of things on earth or things in even ) be it Mary or Image of Joseph .
Christianity started just after Jesus died when the apostles were about preaching and bringing people to Christ and to the church ( in the book of Acts of the Apostles ) . Were the early christians of the book of Acts of Apostles Catholics ?, do they have or bow or pray to the Image of Mary ( were we told that in the bible ? ).
There is a way the seemeth right unto a man but the end is death .

no one is Advised or urged(in the catholic doctrine) to bow down to any statue in the catholic church....now lemme xplain what happens to you.
catholics dont worship mary or any other statue, what they do is honour her...just like walking into any fed.govt min and seeing the presidents pics there or walking into any first bank branch n seeing their ceo there.... as a yoruba man..when you prostrate or bend down to greet an elder are you worshiping that elder or respecting him? even obama prostrated while greeting the saudi king..so put ur ignorance and beef aside and learn for the sake of knowing.

Congratz to Cardinal Onaiyekan...very humble being..i once served alongside him in ma days back at unibuja chaplaincy upon ma convert from islam to christainity..he s so humble..allow you to stand upright while handing him his crusier or mytre instead of kneeling down while kneeling down.........it can only be compared to meeting with a president without an appointment.

a big congratz once again.

and no one is saying anything....wish twas when i was with the NANS there...no body for pass abuja lokoja road that day. stupid vc with ear problem.

if money dey n evrybody dey work..begi begi no go dey..oritse femi sagbene dey dey dey....sagbene dey dey dey...vector sagbene dey dey dey oyemi oo oyemi oooo.

dem neva see anything

rubbish testing...avnt done mine and will probably never do it...when I know am not messing up ma self.....if you happen to do it and it turned out ++ itz the fear that wld kill u sef nt even the sickness so my advice? better to die with it without knowing than seeking to know. afterall people die in accidents etc daily...so why leave with the knowledge that you are ++ when u can live a healthy life without its knowledge. £jstmythought£

when you are serious we will know.

go into poultry bizness...buh hunger fit don run u obituary b4 the fowl dem grow.

where una dey reason go sef? 13million 4 a tokumbo hw much cum be used private jet

BLACK PRIDE. I LOVE BEING BLACK. DODOS.

Mbechun007: After spending two, four, six or even many more years in a tertiary institution, you’ve finally graduated. Congratulations! Right? Well, yeah, but. There’s a but, you came first from behind, you came out with a third class or worse still, a pass. Hmmm!

If I tell you I know how it feels, I’d be telling you a big fat lie. What I do know however, is what results like that can do to the psyche of the average graduate. Add that to the paper driven mentality of the Nigerian employer and you have enough grounds to wallow in perpetual self-pity. Thing is, I won’t allow you do that to yourself; there’s a way out, so keep the faith yeah?
Speaking from the perspective of someone who recruits, every time I stumble on a CV with 3rd class or Pass I find myself wondering ‘So what were they doing in school? Where they that unserious, that unintelligent? Even worse if it’s a lady because the immediate thing most people will think of is ‘Hmmm. Aristo’. She was too busy dating rich men! Forgive me, but that’s how the society works. No Trial, no conviction. You’re hanged at the gallows before you have the chance to sneeze or say your name.

From experience I know a lot of factors can play out and make you end up with such embarrassing scores. You didn’t like the course so there was very low interest, it wasn’t what you applied for that you were given, but having stayed at home for four years, thanks to jamb, you decide, ‘you know what? Let me just go to school!

You were victimized by the HoD who wanted to sleep with you and couldn’t have his way.

You hated Math and ended up studying computer science or never really liked English as a subject but ended up studying literature.

It could also be that you had siblings to look after, so you schooled and worked, infact, you worked more than you schooled, so your grades suffered.

Or you weren’t just cut out for school but went anyway ‘cos you think that’s the only way to get a job.

Whatever the reason, here you are, with very poor prospects in a very competitive market. In the words of an applicant who approached me with this same predicament, you may ask: Do I even stand a chance? Cheer up. The answer is an unwavering yes!

Yes because, whatever you believe will eventually become your reality. Yes, because education is more than a degree, it’s the sum total of what you’ve learnt in and outside the classroom. Yes because employers will pay for value, irrespective of where they get it, yes because in a way history has favoured your kind. Remember Wole Soyinka, Bill Gates; Steve Jobs and our very own Steve Harris? Yes because your destiny is in your hands and you can create the future you want to see. Stop waiting for things to happen to you. Make things happen!

How? Simple.
Understand that it starts with your mind. Uh huh! No one can make you feel inferior without your permission. If you feel unintelligent, then you are. If you feel inferior to graduates who came out with better grades, then you are. If you feel there are no jobs for people like you, then there aren’t. Start by cleansing your mind of all the toxic and negative thoughts your experience and conditioning has put it through. Think of only what is bright and beautiful.

Assess yourself. What are the things you like to do? What skills do you possess? What’s your personality type? What kind of work will you thrive in? If money or opportunity or your grades were not a challenge, what would you be doing? Allow yourself to think and dream big …
You do have more to prove than other graduates because of your background so you have to go out of your way:

Read like your life depends on it.

Go online and look for free e-books, materials that you can download and consume. Offer your services free for a period of time, to a company within the industry where you want to work. Ask them for an objective assessment at the end of that period.

If you can afford it, learn a vocational skill; keep yourself busy and productive so you can account for your time when an employer asks.

Be honest to potential employers about why your grades are poor and ask for a chance to prove your mettle.

Start a business if you have the wherewithal.

Get professional certification and join industry associations. It expands your network.

Attend employability trainings so you can understand the secrets of successful job hunting.

Experience is critical if you want to get a job with those grades; so stay productive and focused.

Don’t get it twisted, a third class is not the end of the world; it could have been a lot worse, there are people who haven’t been and would never be in the four walls of a university classroom. Com’on, that’s something to be thankful for.

Finally, eat the humble pie. Pride and a third class don’t mix. Be teachable, flexible and ready to learn.

That’s all from me for today, have a fabulous week.

How wrong your assertion is on this whole topic.
to start with,I am a Third Class Product from Unibuja, I work with a multi-national and i take home a 6-fig-income after tax.
How many third-classers have you ever come across and what did you think led to that? i was in the Student union mind you..(NANS) AND i know of more brilliant comrades that were expelled and some that had their grades taunted...but aside the first class, 2-1, 2-2 etc let me tell you a true fact and reality, in Nigeria today what you graduated with doesnt realli matter what matters is who you know. if you doubt me, try and secure a recommendation letter from a highly placed Nigerian and go on a job hunt to somewhere like say.....NIMASA, and see if your job-search wudnt bring forth gold.
mind you...i dont work with NIMASA and my employment was on practicable assignment where the so-called high flyers floppd.

I servd in Lamma,Zing LGA, Taraba state, to all prospective taraba kopa, going to camp to spend the first three weeks, u dnt need to carry much load bcus u wudnt need them during ur 3wks in camp..just ur white's(shoes, shorts n shirts) n maybe few sunday church n homy wears. secondly taraba is quite far from anambra, because from wukari(in taraba...which u must pass through to Jalingo) is roughly 4-5 hours..so i mostly do night journey with luxury buses because believe me it was safer n u wld have time to prepare with daylight n do what others are doing.
i bet ur gona enjoy ur trip n stay because its gna be fun...buh if u want to get early u can board a bus going to adamawa and stop at jalingo..which is even faster and better. wish u well.
but dont get posted to Gembu oo(sardauna LGA) CUZ DATZ ANOTHER 12 HOURS FROM JALINGO..STILL IN THE SAME STATE.
goodluck
