Won't it be smart for First bank to appoint a manager for the school and ensure that all monies for the school are paid into an account on First bank. That way, the school still keeps running and First bank takes it money little by little?

A receiver manager?
I think I read from the judgement of the court that one be appointed - Mr. Bola Olotu. Not sure if I interpreted it correctly though.

I'm of the opinion that they execute an irrevocable undertaking to domicile all business proceeds and cash flows with the bank.

I pity the school. The interest that would have accrued over the years may take another four to five years of monthly payments to clear.

Such bad credit record!

TheEminentLaity:
So a permanent secretary of a federal ministry could stand alone as a surety/guarantor for a loan of over N600m in 2005? and it was approved...that's well over $3m. Damn! There so much money in government.

The property was his. He sold it to the school. So yes, a single man can stand as a guarantor but there are certain things not right about all this. He had no business signing the TLM after he had sold the property. And why didn't first bank go ahead to perfect the legal mortgage all these years?

It's for their legal department to worry anyway.

tinydev56:
These people are funny. Both the bank and the school management. At all cost though the bank will get it’s money. This is why proper KYC is necessary in granting loans

Lol. How would proper KYC erode non payment of loan?

Is KYC one of the canons of good credit?
Because from the little I know, KYC or no KYC, a customer without character will not pay down on their loans or meet maturing obligations as and when due.

God bless you bro.
I'm trying to socialize more i got a female friend who i guess she's in love with me already she's been helping me a lot recently, keeping me up to date and it's been helping me academically.
God bless you once again.

I was honestly feeling sorry for your predicament until I read where you said you got a female friend who you guess is in love with you... Lol. Love dey your head still, you must be distracted!

In this kind of situation, you need all the external help you can get from males and females. You also need maximum concentration to pass well.

A lot of people have offered you good advice but since I'm commenting, I'll amplify what has been said. I have a problem with sitting down for more than two hours at a stretch to study. The school library wasn't my place. I play too much but I don't forget what I hear, see and write down. When I discovered this, I knew I couldn't force myself to read like my friends. During exam prep, they'll be so worried about me and even advice me on how to read. None of that worked. Here's what worked for me.

- Group discussions.
- Me, teaching others BEFORE exams.
- Asking questions.
- Answering past questions.
- Debates. Always taking the wrong side.
- Intensive night reading, a day or two to the exam.
- Humility.
- God.

These are some of the things that helped my grades in school. By my third year, those who knew my matric number said I was deceiving them. I don't look like I know and till tomorrow, I love that unassuming side of me. It gives me an edge.

And oh! I'm shy too. So being shy is not an excuse. Look for one or two people doing well and befriend them. Where you need help with materials, speak up. Go to senior colleagues early and ask for their materials before they give them out or return them home.

Best wishes as you discover what works for you! Let your least grade this semester be D.

Why would fastfoods take over the affairs of your stomach? I for one love home made meals. Fast foods are a once in a blue moon thing for me but since January, I've not eaten out(Buka/fast food). You should see how plump, and healthy I look(my dp is old please )
We await the photos so that as you've salivated at the food of others, we shall salivate at yours when you drop the photos.

Lol. This is a good motivation and if what I see on your dp is old, I can only imagine the new . You're beautiful

I haven't cooked in 3 months and counting! This is embarrassing. The last time I cooked, PHCN guys came during the week and cut us off power supply without any prior notice, it weakened me. Everything in the fridge went bad. The cost of that waste made me settle for this fast foods and junk life.

To encourage me, I have ticked the follow icon of this thread, Saturday won't pass me by. I have committed, therefore, I must deliver

Just look at what my fellow human beings are doing but Chicken Republic 'Refuel meal' has taken over the affairs of my stomach!

It is with anger I'll wash all the pots and cooking spoons in this house today. Come Saturday, I'll post my very first home made plate of food

Goodbye fast-food!
My kitchen must win this battle!

Imoksp:
Hello. Where in Ikeja do you reside? I can teach you how to get job easily if you can accommodate me for 6days in a week in 3months before renting my own. I currently work in Ikeja. A hospitality firm. 08165807578.

How does this even work

Do you know him?
You expect him to just call you up and offer you accommodation?
Did you read where he said he's bereaved?
How do you plan on teaching him to get a job?

Some things leave me confused sha.

Babacele:
Did I e-miss you? yes. How you dey?

Lol. Oh! How I've e-missed you too
Thanks plenty for checking. I'm fine. Holding up well.

chyima:

BoleAndFish:

Amicable09 na you carry me reach here o. Come carry me comot before person go start dey chop for dream.

Lol.

I wish I can eat this through my phone

sayoberry:
I present to you my Amala and okro soup.
It's an 'elemi meje' something

This is food!
I'm convinced that if I hang around here for one month I'll grow fat

Thank you for first feeding my eyes.

Good question. Once I went out with a friend to an eatery, after we placed orders for food and it was served us, he closed his eyes and blessed the food. I found it very interesting and a worthy culture to imbibe.

Me, on the other hand while growing up, fought the practice of praying before eating hard with my mum. It was just out of rebellion. Since that hang out, I don't pray before eating out of compulsion but of necessity giving thanks to God for provision.

bastien:
same here, saw it live, the Okada scatter him blockus

He could not even stare at his leg, coughing blood then gave up.

My God! This is a very painful way to die.

I really feel for the young man who lost his life. May his family be consoled.

Mmmh... Enugu has too many snakes, I can't explain why.

yusufhaji:
ebr if u are above 30,u still stand a chance of being shortlisted

Really? I must have skipped that part when I read the advertised vacancy.

mannatech:
Have done all I could but it seems she's hell bent on continuing with them.
I will now give her space and time will tell if it's for her good or not but my prayer is for it to work to her advantage.

Amen to your prayer.

She'll be fine come what may. Trust and believe.

Jesusgirl92:
why would you understand when you're not a lady ..... Let's say she's on her period, the so-called IT people would be watching everything all in the name of "I'm doing my job"... I'd rather resign... They should tighten security at all entrance and exit.... Even the entrance of the restroom if they have to.... But in the rest room?? Na pure nonsense be that... Na BBNaija be that?? Mtcheww

Lol. That opening sentence made me smile. I was served that card last week online too. To understand or not to understand doesn't have to do with being female. It's just an emotional feeling in this situation. There are ladies who don't use the restroom at work. There are days, I, lady Amicable, don't use the convenience at work. And there have been a few times I have visited while badly pressed, I have had to turn back to my desk after being greeted by some gory sight without passing out urine and I was fine.

For me, any lady disturbed by the CCTV camera installation should improvise. You can't because of that resign. You have to change your sanitary pad, easy! You don't strip to do that. It's a simple process. It's the guys who will be monitoring the cameras and watching behind the scenes that should be agitated. It's a dishonorable role to play. How can you tuck in your shirt to work in the morning only to watch people pee and poop?

Those ones can resign not the ones excreting waste products.

Lol. When I saw the topic of this thread I knew I'll have a good laugh. Your last paragraph is funny. What do you mean by "made in Philippines products?" . If she's sponsored to Philippines won't you be happy?

But on a more serious note, they seem to have gotten hold of her. You can help her by sharing other people's stories and experiences in multilevel marketing (MLM) until she sees herself towing a similar path she won't believe you.

Don't just share for her to read or ignore, share and discuss it after reading. Hear her arguments FOR her job before bringing in your arguments AGAINST her job. If she's a staff and not a distributor, who knows? One day, she may be the one to go to Philippines for more supplies of tea and supplements to Nigeria.

These guys have really repackaged this thing sha. This job market don kpafuka.

Tamaranancy, unless you are above 30, I think you should give this a shot. It may not be what you want but it will afford you the opportunity to fill an application and possibly get shortlisted for aptitude test.

Try it out.

Hi OP, how long ago did you pass out from NYSC?

You've got 2.1, that's like being handed a ticket. Congratulations! If below 26, don't despair. Arrange your CV, send your applications out, tell friends, family, distant relatives, acquaintances, strangers, everyone, that you're looking for a job and interested in so and so.

The fellow thinking you can't get help here thinks wrong. I formed a bond with some graduates in this section a few years back and they helped with mentions and shares whenever companies advertised including test materials to aid my preparation. Look out for someone here who's also job hunting. You need company. Good company please. It will make it easy for you.

Most importantly, start preparing for aptitude tests and interviews. It's better to prepare for an opportunity before it comes than have an opportunity come your way only to meet you unprepared. Go through other threads, you will see links to download materials.

I'll try to give you a mention whenever I see a graduate trainee advert on here if you confirm you're below 26.

Cheers!

This is in response to the stuff in the diaryland:



Ami I know you are human like everyone else. You have , like everyone , the power that can create,change,uncreate and without any opposition from any known force in the universe: your mind. Isn't that the only place you can build anything before bringing it to the physical world? It is easy to imagine an aeroplane now but can you just think about the looks of ridicule any dreamer would have been subjected to if he had told folks around him years before the birth of the aircraft that he was imagining and imaging in his mind's eyes the possibility of a big, iron bird conveying humans across the air? Win there and you win anywhere. It maybe your winter cycle, so just go slow with the flow . Ami , some times we cry, sometimes we smile ; it is part of our growth process. without catabolism ,no anabolism and catabolism wouldn't exist. There is always some lessons to learn therefrom. Wishing you the best.

Thank you so much uncle Cele. Thank you.

It's not easy but I know years from now I'll be grateful for this experience. It's so bad that today my colleague called while I was out on call to ask about my blood pressure. Lol. It's crazy but that's how far it has gone. It's equally teaching me to stand up for myself in the corporate world. I'm used to having people fight for me. I still have a few but I've seen that everyone of us is somewhat selfish so, I go out, make requests and look top men and women in the eye, sometimes smile to regain confidence if shaken and subtly make demands.

It's either a yes or a no.
Whatever the response, I'll know I didn't stay waiting for someone to take pity on me and fight for my course and that's what I love about the change.

I really appreciate your words of wisdom. They are far-reaching.

Sterope:
Some girls start period as early as 8. I know one that started that age. She was still her petite self. No one could have known ftom her figute that she had started her period. You should put yourself in their shoes and ask questions instead. You sound like you do not know much about a female''s body.

I don't at all. How can a boy like me know about a female's body?

I don't have strength to put myself in any shoes please. Mine is inconveniencing enough. Thanks.

Abbeyme:
I tire o.

Estrogen and other body chemicals would be running in the girl first.

Getting pregnant is not same as being able to carry the pregnancy and delivering a baby. VVF and maternal mortality are associated risks

I have left all I'm doing to start reading about menarche and ovulation to be sure I still know what I know.

It's a pity sha. Maybe too much book no good.
