Nna this thing go make sense o!

But I don't have MyTV

Awww sorry bro! You should get startimes, its just 3.2k
The atmosphere is electrifying!

This is a 74 hours non stop praise and worship programme that's being used to worship and appreciate God, and to commemorate the 74th birthday of Pastor E.A Adeboye. I've been watching it live on RCCG's DOVE TV on star times, and its been great! Somebody who experienced that of some years ago witnessed that a guy was filed with the anointing while dancing to the extent that those coming in contact with him were just falling to the ground.

I can't hold it either, I'm digging it now

Though below are the pics of last year's...

honestly, I was hoping to be the first person to do this

j

wait, lemme get calculator and four-figure table!

we af see

just like I said in the counter thread, polytechnics and universities are like the male and female child. they're both unique in their different ways.

our universities don't even measure up to what's in south Africa and Egypt, graduates from Cyprus and Canada are coming back home to get our well paying jobs, and we're here fighting ourselves! mtcheeew.

we're all products of a failed educational system, nobody should claim to be better!

viickerz:
some polytechnics are good.. but dont you ever compare polytechnics to universities.. if you have entered oau, UI. ABU,etc.. you will hate poly.

why do you think most polytechnics are filled with cultits..? especially kwara poly

someone close to me graduated from poly 5 years ago. belive me,she is still searching for a job till now..

the day i first entered unilorin, i promised myself never to go to a polytechnic in my life..

have you seen those law chicks in oau? the sight of their smart and beautiful faces will make you forget about all those mgbeke girls wey full our polytechnics

and the day you would visit Harvard nko?

that you even try to compare POLYs and UNIs in Nigeria shows that you've failed! why not compare yourselves with universities in Egypt, south Africa and co, let alone universities in UK, US and the rest! you're here talking rubbish, comforting yourself on what's not.
comparing university and polytechnic is like comparing the male and female child, they're not the same, they play different roles but yet, are both critical!

who can deliver this letter ASAP!

Dojupyo:
Abeg o, na still Earth we dey? Abi we sleep wake up, come see ourselves for Mars The weather hot abeg

rottennaija:

gabinogem:
The weather is extremely hot. I just hope the rain start falling soon, cuz this sun can drive one crazy.

that's just it....
but rain....it has as way of disrupting plans! especially when it rains in the day! the thing should just fall in the night, and leave day for us

LORDSAMURAI:
hmmm thank jah for the life my parents have given i and my siblings, though we have no money but i was rich as i could be bcaus everyday is generator till dawn, fork phcn.

happy for you o.... we did that last week, and it was great! but we don't have that opportunity everyday!

Good morning nairalanders, I am seriously disturbed o! this weather is becoming unbearable for me o. and the main reason why I totally don't like heat is simply because that's when these mosquitoes thrive! imagine bathing in the evening, and within few minutes you're sweating.....you try to off cloth, the next thing is to get bitten by carnivorous mosquitoes (they use hose and pumping machine to suck blood). Mehn, I so much detest them! and that's because I hate malaria with all my life! before anyone starts saying something else, I've always said it that harmattan is my favourite weather.....I don't mind the dust, dry lips and body at all....I just love the cold!

back to this hot weather.... I've now stooped sleeping in the room o. I now sleep in the sitting room, very close to the door, so I can at least catch some air! i sleep with my socks on, long trouser and a cover clothe, just to make sure every part of my body isnt available for mosquitoes. NEPA no gree bring light, you can barely see with the one they bring, talk-less of it to power fan! fuel price has increased, some have stopped selling it, and I had to queue for over an hour to get fuel. Na for where I even see the money to take on gen through the night!

abeg, how una dey cope naah! e tire me oooooo!

congrats! and he'll return to the classrooms as a lecturer!

Abass Olalekan Love started the day early, having set his alarm clock (MADE IN FINLAND) for 6am. While his teapot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his clipper (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on his shirt (MADE IN THE UK), and designer jeans (MADE IN ITALY) and shoes (MADE IN THE USA). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric cooker (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his wristwatch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to his radio (MADE IN VIETNAM) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) filled with petrol imported from (SAUDI ARABIA) and continued his search for a good paying NIGERIAN job... At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his computer (MADE IN MALAYSIA), Mr Danladi Okoro Ayo decided to relax for a while. He put on his slippers (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN SOUTH AFRICA), while fiddling with his mobile phone (MADE IN SOUTH KOREA), and then wondered why he cant find a good paying job in... NIGERIA. He felt achy and sore in his left kneel, he decided to take one tablet of his TRAMADOL TABLETS (MADE IN BANGLADESH) to relieve the pain. Lying down on his bed and wondering why NIGERIAN External Foreign Reserve has depleted to under $28billion which has translated to free fall depreciation of Nigerian NAIRA to US DOLLAR at PARALLEL MARKET.......

Fellow Nigerians, let's us start producing, let us start buying made in NIGERIA goods If our economy is to grow and create better jobs. How can a country like Nigeria be importing toothpick, cutting bud, cotton wool, matches, rubber band e.t.c? And we complain at d same time that there is no jobs for our teeming youths? The situation is even pathetic now when you see Nigerians ( in Lagos) prefer Cotonou
garri to that of Ijebu, buy cotonou pineapple and they say it is better than that of Nigeria. That is why frozen foods will be exported to Cotonou from farms like that of obasanjo repacked and imported back to Nigeria because they know Nigerians always prefer made in outside Nigeria goods . That is why you will see an expatriate renumeration will be juicy than that of his Nigeria counterpart even if that Nigerian is more certificated than d expatriate ( This also happen in government parastatals).

Any nation that import majorly foreign made goods/ services rather than producing their own are hurting its people.... When we keep importing foreign made products into Nigeria, we keep importing poverty into our country and exporting jobs abroad...

Let's go back to the land to grow and patronise at least 70% MADE IN NIGERIA products...

I'm now addicted to pure water!

The Lagos State Command of the Nigeria Police on Sunday recorded a painful loss of a senior officer, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Osung Ekpo. Ekpo who was the Area K Commander, Morogbo drowned on Sunday night in a swimming pool located inside La Avalon Hotel in Lekki. He was said to have gone there with some of his friends to celebrate Valentine’s Day but died in mysterious circumstance. Renowned for his doggedness in tackling criminals, particularly the alleged One Million
Boys who had unleashed mayhem on communities under his command, he was said to have been rushed to a nearby hospital in Ajah, where he was confirmed dead.

Although the exact time he drowned could not be ascertained, it was learnt that the Area J police command received the signal at about 8pm and rushed to the hotel. After he was confirmed dead, The Nation gathered that his body was deposited at a military hospital in the Island. It was further learnt that Ekpo had visited another senior colleague of his about three hours before his death. The news of his death however left many police officers in sad mood especially the Divisional Police Officers who worked under him. One of the DPOs who does not want his name mentioned told The Nation that Ekpo was a friendly and humble man, who had strong passion for his job. He stated that the deceased ACP has hardly rested since the rumour of activities of the One Million Boys started. “He went to celebrate Valentine and to also rest because he has been working very hard. He was a very jovial man and a good police officer too. This is a terrible loss. It is the worst valentine gift the police can get,” he said.

However, the state command’s spokesperson, Dolapo Badmos, an SP, who confirmed his death, said Ekpo went to the hotel for a swimming exercise. She said: “The Lagos State Police Command regrets to announce the death of Assistant Commissioner of Police, ACP Osung Ekpo, who until his death was the Area Commander, Area ‘K’ Morogbo. “The death occurred on Sunday, February 14, while having his routine swimming exercise in a Pool. ACP Osung Ekpo was enlisted into the Nigeria Police Force in the year 1990, and worked in various formations of the Force. “He assumed his last duty post as Area Commander, Area ‘K’ Morogbo on November 14, 2013, a position he held until his untimely death.

“The Command will miss him for his gallantry performance while he held forth as the Area Commander. Lagos State Police Command sympathizes with his family and prays that Almighty God give them the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. “ A gallant officer, Ekpo had served at various units and Divisions of the police. He was DPO of several police stations in Lagos. He also served at the Nigeria Police Special Fraud Unit (SFU), Ikoyi, Lagos before he was promoted to the rank of an Assistant Commissioner of police and posted to the North. He was however transferred to Lagos and made the Area K Commander. His posting to that command was triggered by the growing rate of smuggling activities. He was said to have dared the smugglers and decimated them during the period he spent there.

heaven knows I wouldn't pay him a DIME! a place where he could be sacked from at any moment....?

THINGS YOU MUST KNOW BEFORE GOING FOR NYSC 2016..Edited by Wittyemi
JANUARY, 2016.

NYSC MATTER



Heading to NYSC Orientation Camp?
Heeding the Clarion Call?
Here is a comprehensive list of things you need to take to camp. aka “NYSC camp requirements”
Included are some HOT TIPS
UPDATED FOR 2016

First off, the requirements. These are compulsory and you will not be allowed to Camp if you don’t have them with you.

PART 1:
Official NYSC Camp Registration Requirements:

1. CALL UP LETTER: This is a vital part of camp registration and the only evidence that you are a prospective corps member (colloq. Corper, orOtondo) and you are not impersonating anyone. This will be taken from and not returned to you. So if at all you even forget your luggage never forget this.

Tip: Since many will choose the N3,000 option to print online, do try to use a café with laser jet printers and not DeskJet. Why? Documents printed with DeskJets are more susceptible to water/moisture damage. Just to be on a safer side and you should do this with any document you intend to keep for a very long time. If you can’t find a LaserJet, use anyone.

Tip: DO NOT LAMINATE IT! And keep it like its your life. I know someone who was sent back because she forgot hers. Also someone who had to beg and beg before his letter was collected because he laminated his own copy. So please avoid all these stress and make enough copies of this letter.

Tip: Remember you can REPRINT your Call-Up letter online if subscribed (N3,000) to that option.

2. Registration Documents: If you’re a foreign graduate, take along the original credentials you uploaded (to the NYSC Portal) for physical verification / evaluation.

3. Green Card: It contains your bio-data. Print and bring along your signed copy.

4. Final Year Student IDENTITY CARD

5. Notification/STATEMENT OF RESULT from School

6. PHOTOCOPIES OF YOUR DOCUMENTS: Now make about 10 copies of every document required. There would be photocopiers in camp at mammy market but trust me, it is double the price and it saves time.

7. PASSPORT PHOTOGRAPHS: This is very important. Take as many as you can, about 20 in red backgrounds. You would need them for different kinds of registration. e.g, skill acquisition groups, religious groups, sports, redeployment, bank account opening e.t.c

8. My CLEAR BAG: You’ll need to put the aforementioned in a portable envelope/bag that can withstand some amount of wear/tear. Hence, My Clear Bag.

Tip: The forms that will be handed to you are very easy to fill. Attach your passport where necessary and fill them correctly. After your registration, you will be issued with your State Code Number. This will be like your PIN throughout your Service Year.


Witty

PART 2:

9.  CERTIFICATES/LICENSES: For Doctors, Pharmacists, Nurses & Lab Scientists, take along your proof of certification. Graduates of Medicine and Pharmacy are expected to have their Certificates of Registration with Nigerian Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (NMDCN) and Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN) respectively.

10. STATIONERY: PEN, PAPER, GUM. Yeah this saves time and lots of unnecessary begging.

Tip: Some camps do seize staplers at the gate during check-in. But do not forget to include pins in your stapler if you still decide to take it along.

You will be given a meal ticket that gives you access to the Camp kitchen for the 21 days. Lose it and you have to feed yourself. Even if you do not intend to use it, you will come across someone who would appreciate the kind gesture.

Tip: After getting your NYSC State Code Number (which you have to wear around your neck all through camp with your ID card), you can proceed to claim your NYSC Kit and Mattress after which you can proceed to get a Room. After you have gotten your kit and secured a place in the hostels, you can settle down and you are good to go to start the Military parades.

Now, Your NYSC kit should contain 1 NYSC Crested Vest, A pair of Khaki Trousers, Cap and Jacket, 2 White T-shirts, 2 Pairs of Knickers, 2 pairs of green-stripped Stockings, A Pair of Orange Jungle Boots and One Pair of White Converse. A “Belt” is also included.




PART 3:
DAILY NEEDS:

11. ROUND-NECKED WHITE T-SHIRTS: This is an essential outfit in camp in fact in most camps this is the only allowed cloth to be worn throughout your 3 weeks. Even to church, you might not be allowed to wear colored cloths. You would be given 2 pairs of white t-shirts at camp to just fulfill all righteousness which surely would never be your size especially our very slim and small otondo in size . So you can bring extra pairs (6). Why? Because you probably wont have time to wash during the week after being stressed out from the parades and Man-O-War drills.

Tip: Do not carry more than 2 pairs of colored clothes because you wont need them.

12. WHITE SHORTS: I beg you please do bring yours. you would also be given 2 pairs of shorts which are really poor in material. They tear easily and it can be annoying. So my dear Otondos bring like 4 pairs of shorts. Trust me also you wont like to wash everyday, so bring enough to last you like 3 days so that you wont be stranded.

13. PLAIN WHITE SNEAKERS/TENNIS SHOES:This is a very important outfit. you would also be given an ugly pair of low quality white tennis shoes customized for NYSC. It’s either you are not given your size although you can find someone with your size and swap. But after the first wash it starts tearing. So just buy yours (white). They also sell this in camp, so in case you are not able to get you could buy in camp just carry extra cash for that because the price would be higher – as with everything in Mammy – because they know you have no choice than to buy. Now, If you happen to camp during the rainy season (Batch ‘B’ ), get white rubber sneakers/boots especially if you’re posted to the Southern part of the country (esp. the South South. Read, Bayelsa). The parade fields/mammy market will be messed 

14. WHITE SOCKS: Just get extra pairs.

15. PADLOCKS: [BRING or BUY from Mammy] Please lock your boxes and bags to avoid regrets and tears. I know someone who lost more than 5 items including his two phones – like he’s the only one in camp.

16. WAIST POUCH: /Fanny pack/Bum bag (or for the more fashion-conscious, a cross-body purse).The bum bags are more popular because they won’t bang against you when you’re active and your hands are free to do whatever. You need it to carry your money, phone, small valuables, pens, etc around with you at all times. You should sleep with it too.

17. MOSQUITO TREATED NET: You would do not want to fall sick in camp from malaria and miss out on the fun. Just bring yours. Also bring ropes you would use to hang it. The nets usually have these. I also used mine as a room to protect my box and properties from thieves and also from some insects and ants.

18. BASIC DRUGS: Like paracetamol, medicine for your allergies, menstrual pain relief drug, nausea relief drugs, antibiotics e.t.c. The camp clinic is sometimes inadequately stocked with drugs so help yourself. True story – A corper from the previous batch donated at least a million Naira worth of medicine to our (Lagos) camp clinic, and barely a few days later, they claimed to have run out of medicine.

19. ANTISEPTIC/DISINFECTANTS: Such as Dettol etc. This is very, very essential. Firstly the bathrooms can be very annoying and dirty and more importantly, you would not like to have infection from camp. Bad idea. Depending on your camp, the water can be dirty. Most people always have reaction to it.

20. DETERGENT: [BUY from Mammy.] Again, this reduces the amount of load you’re bringing into camp. However, if you’re lucky the mammy market will have vendors offering laundry services! It costs about N50 per item, N100 for your khaki trousers or jacket, extra N50 if you want your items pressed although cost will vary across camps.

Tip: The Bucket: Buy this in Mammy. Don’t stress yourself taking one to Camp, which you’re probably going to leave behind after 3 weeks.Toiletries: Toilet Paper, Sanitary Pad, soap dish etc. BUY in Mammy.

21. TOWELS

22. A PAIR OF SLIPPERS: [BRING or BUY]

23. Bed sheets, Pillow Cases and A Pillow. You could also get pillow from mammy market to reduce load.

Tip: Mattresses will be provided by NYSC. It is best to “double up” with the mattresses, as they are about 1 to 2 inches thick. Lol.

24. HANDKERCHIEF. There will be BUCKETS of sweating. Do yourself a favor.

25. FLASK, BOWL AND CUP: [BRING or BUY] For eating. Important for those who intend on eating Camp food.

Tip: You will be fed three times a day in camp but I must not lie to you, the food there is nothing to write home about. They can be nice on few occasions like Sundays, but most days, they are poor. If you are someone who loves to eat good food, make provisions for your own food. You should get some fast foods along, some breakfast cereals and beverages. You should also hold extra cash to eat at the Mammy market. You will get good meals there.

26. BEVERAGE: The camp will supply you with “Tea-water” or ‘brown-water’ so you can make tea when you need to!

27. FLASHLIGHT OR RECHARGEABLE LAMPS:[BRING] Most camps, do not give light except at a specific time of the day. It’s very essential especially at night when you need to use the bathroom, early in the morning when preparing for morning drills and meditations and at night in case you need to do anything. At the mammy market, there is always light till they close, usually 10pm except on days like the Camp Fire Night where they stay open till, say, 3am depending on how lenient your camp commander is. You can charge your lamps there for a little fee.

28. Some form of entertainment: Novels – for those who get bored easily, please carry some. And for guys PSP or chess. also iPod  and MP3 players for audiophiles.

29. Your Ray-Ban sunglasses for the sun. And if you can’t afford that, get a Ray-Bon.

30. Get extra phone batter(ies) and extra Network SIMs. Some networks are not available at some camps as they’re usually in remote locations, far from town centres. Once you get your call-up letter, you can find out (from serving corpers or tweet at  @_NYSC) which network has the best reception at your destination camp. If you need data access, find out if that available also. Instagrammers and keekers, if you get EDGE thank your stars. But there has been some improvement as network providers have focus

31. CASH: Extremely important. You would need about N15,000. Then between N20,000 – N30,000 to be ‘just’ comfortable. For those that can manage, say, N10,000 – N15,000. There are lots of things that take up money. Things like food (for those who don’t intend eating from the camp kitchen), energy drinks, recharge cards, charging of electronic devices, laundry, pleasures e.t.c.

32. ATM Card: You ‘normally’ wont be allowed to leave camp. So do not be stranded, trust me it’s not a good idea. Just budget N1,000 per day. You should take your ATM card along, incase. (This might sound counter-intuitive since there might not be any ATM in your camp and you are not allowed to leave camp. But figure it out…) You can keep your extra cash with the Accounts Department (as the case was in my camp) while some shops offer POS services, you still have access to extra cash whenever you need it.

If you have a camera you can take it along because you will want to snap a lot of scenes. If you have a Smartphone with great camera, that’s good for you because you can easily take and share photos on social networks instantly.

Tip: If you don’t have any of those, you will have to pay some guys on camp who do that as business to follow you around and snap you wherever you go. They might charge up to N2,000 for the duration of the camping. They should give you all your photos and videos in DVDs at the end of Camping. Or you could wait till the last day of leaving camp and snap at a cheaper rate.

That’s all you need to take to camp!. Waaaait. Where are you going? Now, dont be selfish. You have to share this with your friends, dont you? Click the share buttons below. Is there any item left out of the list? Let us know
