EducationRe: IMSU Student Dies While "Celebrating" Final Year Students by Astutechris(op): 9:04pm On Nov 26, 2014
dabriggs:
Looking at it from another perspective, very terrible public safety in Nigeria. Open ditches, uncovered sewer pits, open manholes, etc.

Whether he poured water on himself or whether his celebration seems barbaric is not the issue. Someone not celebrating could probably have easily fallen into the ditch.
You're right in a way, but of a truth, that celebration doesn't make any sense.
Many have been injured and some have died in this celebration. There are many other way to celebrate graduation than pouring of liquid substances.

After failing waec and jamb for 5years,
after all the stress you went through seeking for admission,
After soaking garri for countless times before and after lectures,
after using all those food formulas 1-0-1,e.t.c,
after all the lecturers assignments,test and exam writing,
after staying up to read in the night for most of your days in the university,
After writing your final exams,
then one old woman in your village,will now say you will not reap the fruit of your labour.
I declare to all you reading this that you will not die before your glory shines in Jesus name
lol!
Amen ooo!

CareerWHY CAREER FAIL By Muyiwa Afolabi by Astutechris(op): 5:36pm On Nov 26, 2014
WHY CAREER FAIL By Muyiwa Afolabi

Your career is a very important aspect of your life. Most of
your time as a living being would be committed to starting,
growing, building and prospering with career.
Who you are; your relevance in the society, your worth in
person and material possessions are all the outcomes of
the quality of your career.
Your career ought not to start the day you graduate from
the university. In actual fact either deliberately or
unconsciously, a man's career begins to find expression
and definition from as young as his days in grade school;
that is primary school.
The kind of subjects you like and find interesting may
begin to paint a picture of what you'll find fulfilment doing
later on in life.
Also the kind of exposure you had, interactions you
enjoyed, entertainment you relished and associations you
maintained during your growing years play significant
roles in shaping your views, perceptions, norms and ethics
in dealing with life issues.
Your natural gifts, talents and endowments ought to also
guide your path in your choice of career in life.
I am a strong believer and advocate of purpose. We are all
created differently and designed to serve various purposes
in this world. To this end I'll want to say that a career that
would eventually be tagged successful is such that aligns
with a man's personal purpose and mission in this life.
Though societal and upbringing dynamics often time derail
many from their actual purposes in life, more of the blame
should actually go to him whom after realising he's on the
wrong path in career; refuses to redirect his steps and
journey in the direction of his purpose and fulfilment in life.
What I'm saying is If today you find your job very boring,
uninteresting and frustrating, I'm afraid the fault is entirely
yours if you refuse to do something about it.
May I say also at this point that there is no job type or
occupation that lacks stress and challenges? How you will
know it's what you're designed for is that you'll enjoy
tackling the challenges and finding solutions to the various
issues. You will never be tired of working at it and bringing
out the beauty in every situation.
I have a friend who is a passionate builder. Right from
when he starts off on a new building project, he's excited.
He's looking at the architectural designs, engineering
designs, site plan and all, he's already very boisterous and
passionate.
Occasionally I visit him on site and I see the way he's
moving all around the site, shouting at the artisans, getting
them to work and they in return acting up, giving him
attitude and some of them running away for several days
with money meant for buying building materials.
On several occasions he would have to fight off area boys
and touts and on some occasions he would arrive on site
and most of his workers will refuse to work because they
want payment for a bad job they'll have to do again, at
times the rains would delay the project and he may need to
break and rebuild some poorly done parts of the structure,
and all day long, he's on his feet, in the sun, in the rain;
many times forgetting he's not had any food to eat till late
afternoon.
Despite all these issues and challenges, my friend cannot
do any other thing than building. He loves it, he's
passionate about it and I see the fulfilment and pleasure at
the end of the day when he eventually places his for sale
sign board on these beautiful buildings.
Not everyone can actually enjoy this type of occupation or
find pleasure doing it. Personally I can't, I'm not an
outdoor person, I don't enjoy the sun on my face or the
rains on my back, I can't chase or yell at artisans or stand
in a location all day long. I'm definitely not cut out for that
kind of work.
But I can stand and talk for five to six hours non-stop and
won't be tired, this my friend on the other hand can't talk
for fifteen minutes straight. We are different in make-up,
purpose and fulfilment.
Today many of us are failing in career simply because we
have planted ourselves in professions and work types we
really don't enjoy and don't find fulfilling. We are in that
job because we were probably desperate for employment
or attracted by the remuneration. Hence when the attended
stress and challenges of the profession starts manifesting,
we can't handle it or deal with it without getting upset.
Little wonder many young people today are suffering from
high blood pressure due to high stress level. Many become
worried, threatened and afraid each time there is a
challenge on the job because they lack the natural will to
take these issues in their stride and enjoy dealing with it.
They force themselves to deal with it hence, getting
dismayed about it every now and again.
Travelling this career journey devoid of purpose and
passion will only lead to frustration and failure.
What you don't enjoy you don't give your best. What you're
not interested in, you can't get creative with. What you're
not passionate about, you don't want to expand your
scope of knowledge in, and when you're laid back or poor
in performance, you're not entitled to rapid promotion,
relevance and wealth.
I think it's critical you honestly ask yourself this important
question this morning, take a look at your career journey
again, are you failing or succeeding at it? Your career
prospects; are they looking better today than yesterday?
Are you progressive, retrogressive or stagnant on this
journey?
How old are you? How far have you come? How far do
you still want to go?
Can I ask some critical questions this morning?
Why exactly are you working where you're working today?
Do you have a better reason than salary and survival?
Secondly are you genuinely interested and in love with your
job? Do you love what you do?
Thirdly do you have a plan; a career path, a predefined
route to your destination, are you on the mark, getting set
to go, on your own lane or your career race it yet to start
after so many years. In fact where exactly is this
employment taking you to?
Five years from today, ten years from today, do you have a
clear mental picture of where you'll be and what you'll be
doing?
What exactly is your personal focus? What is your career
future looking like? What is that future that you're focused
squarely on that will help deal with distractions on this
journey?
Who do you want to be in another 10 years? What would
you be called, how would you be addressed and what will
be your professional title?
What societal need or opportunity would your career
preference be addressing in another 10 years, what aspect
of human existence would you take ownership of and join
in the drive to great success?
Think about all these. Is somebody's mind again starting
to wander in search of excuses and whom to blame for
this present condition and lack of hope for an exciting,
fulfilling career future?
When exactly do you want to begin to take responsibility
for yourself, your career and your future?
Don't let your career fail; the consequence would be
entirely yours to bear. Please think about this and do
something today.
Succeed with your career, enjoy your day?
EducationIMSU Student Dies While "Celebrating" Final Year Students by Astutechris(op): 5:21pm On Nov 26, 2014
A student of Imo State University simply identified as Chisom
lost his life yesterday during the usual "celebration" that
follows every final examination for final year students which
usually involves pouring water and other assorted liquids on
final year students.
According to an eyewitness, the victim fell in to a ditch as he
was running around and pouring water on final year students
and by the time he was rescued from the ditch was dead
already.
" We were celebrating our final year students by pouring them
water, so as we were running around he fell inside a pit full of
dirty water (sewage) but it didn't cover his head but before we
could draw him out he was dead already because he was
asthmatic". The eye witness stated.
His corpse was deposited at Aladinma Mortuary from where
it was taken to his home town Ihiala.
It was gathered that the decease was not a final year student
as he was still pursuing his B.Sc.

Jokes EtcJoke Of The Day! - From The Holy Book Of Ibu by Astutechris(op): 8:53am On Jun 10, 2012
And seeing the
multitudes, corruption
went up into Aso Rock;
and when he was set,
the politicians came
unto him;
(2) And he opened his
mouth, and taught
them, saying:
(3) Blessed are the
clueless in wisdom; for
theirs is the Presidency
of the nation.
(4) Blessed are they
that rig elections, for
they shall be elected.
(5) Blessed are the
thieves; for they shall
inherit the National
Assembly.
(6) Blessed are they
which do hunger and
thirst after public funds;
for their accounts shall
be filled.
(7) Blessed are the
bribe-takers, for they
shall obtain bigger
bribes.
(cool Blessed are the
Petroleum Ministers, for
they shall loot trillions.
(9) Blessed are the
bootlickers, for they
shall be called the
Federal Executhief
Council.
(10) Blessed are they
which are prosecuted
for corruption's sake;
for theirs is the
kingdom of wealth.
(11) Blessed are ye,
when EFCC shall invite
you, and interrogate
you, and bring all
manner of charges
against you, for my
sake.
(12) Rejoice, and be
exceedingly glad; for fat
are your accounts in
Swiss banks; for so
they prosecuted the
politicians which were
before you.
(13) Ye are the thieves
of the nation; but if the
thief have lost his
craftiness, wherewith
shall he be looting? It is
thenceforth good for
nothing, but to be
charged to court, and be
sentenced to prison.
(14) Ye are the liars of
the nation, a lie that is
carefully thought-out
cannot be found out.
(15) Neither do
politicians cook a big lie,
and serve it to
SaharaReporters, but to
NTA; and it gives false
hope unto all that
watch the 9pm news.
(16) Let your gowns so
flow before men, that
they may see your big
loots, and glorify your
father which is in Ota.
(17) Think not that I am
come to arrest the fuel
marketers
(18) For verily I say unto
you, till heaven and
earth pass, one naira or
one kobo shall not be
left in the Federation
account. Written by Mr Ibu(John Okafor) grin
