Where all those haters, we don't walk alone

Bbsharon:
Hello Nairalanders . I finally toured somewhere down south, southern Nigeria and I'm excited to share.

Currently I'm undergoing my compulsory youth service year in Cross River State. I was posted to calabar from camp.

But then let's start from the very beginning.

So, I met an online travel buddy some days back here in calabar, who told me he would be going across the calabar river to inspect some site along the creek side.

As a geographer, that's his work. But, for me it was going to be an adventure .

Without hesitating I jumped on it . Trust me

Few tips about the river generally...

It is not particularly a tourist centre, which means if you coming here you should or it probably means you have something to do around here.

Or, you just want to have a view of the river itself.

To get a canoe to take you around, if you want to. Simply talk to the locals around, they would help out.

Nothing exceptional happening at the place.

The people are friendly and the environment is pretty safe.

Bbsharon, you dat just came to Calabar is already flexing d town, Mbok when nxt u are going 4 such cruize hit me up jaree. I live and work in Cally city. Zero seven zero six nine six nine nine six three nine

I want to sell neteller funds with a credible exchanger. 49USD

I am writing this little piece just to inspire someone out there, someone who has given up hope on IELTS. Personally, I got my desired result at my 5th trial .

I took my first IELTS in September of 2018 and scored LSWR 7.5,6.5,6.5,7 I felt bad as I wanted to pass this exam at the first sitting, I actually gave it my all at the time, guess my all was not good enough. Even though there is no pass mark for IELTS, express entry applicants can attest that LSWR 8,7,7,7 is considered the pass mark.

My second trial was a few weeks after this, I read my ass out and after all is said and done, I took the test for a second time and scored LSWR 7.5,7,6.5,6 . When I saw the result, I wasn't so upset, at least nothing compared to how I felt when I saw my first result, however, there was a reason, I knew I was not going to pass the reading, I could not finish the reading test on test day. On the other hand, I thought I gave the other three modules my best. I still came out short in 2 (L & W). I had adopted Jay’s ‘super method for speaking’ to score at least 7 in the speaking module (Jay is a popular online IELTS teacher on YouTube).

After the second test, I rushed to register for the third, it was only 2 weeks away, so I prepared the best I could. This time, I made up my mind that I was not going to fail anything I had already passed in my previous tests (my assumed pass mark by the way is 8777 – LSWR as earlier stated), this will give me my desired CRS score, and this personal decision was key! I researched on YouTube on best ways to tackle some of these modules (And yes, I have always been researching), but this time it was different, I needed styles to tackle each question type. So I ran into a video by a random lady, she revealed that the key to passing reading was TIME, that whatever you do, ensure you finish questions 1-27 in at most 25 minutes, you need a lot of time in questions 28 – 40, simply because the questions become complex. Even though I passed the first reading which I scored 7, I was not comfortable of passing it again, until I saw that post. Mind you, my first three exams were with British council. Anyways, the third result came out and it was LSWR 7.5,7,6,7. I was sad again , but this time depressed as well so I decided this was it! And then I quit IELTS…

A colleague at work kept urging me to reconsider and retake the test, all fell to deaf ears at first. I did not attempt the test for 6 months. He was able to convince me and I decided to go back to the drawing board, by this time, I already had strategies for speaking and reading. These two I rarely revise because I was so comfortable that I can always pass them. I had to devise a strategy for listening, remember I have maintained a score of 7.5 in listening through-out the three trials.

So I took my 4th test, this time I switched to MOD-IDP Australia, I made up my mind that this is it!
I wrote the test on the 2nd of March somewhere in Lekki. I paid extra attention to the listening. I knew exactly what my problem was and that is “the section C”, the part that could have up to 2-4 speakers. So I used mini-ielts.com to prepare for this. One good thing about this website is that you can select the type of questions you want to practice, focus and improve on it. I did exactly that and I improved. Test results came out and boom I scored LSWR – 9,8,6.5,8. What a result right? But damn the writing messed it up. I went for a remark and the result of the remark came out the same day my wife went to labour for our first child; the result of the remark sadly didn’t change!
I felt horrible, had mixed feeling, it felt like the worst day of my life. My wife put to bed the next day, at least I had something to smile about and it took me out of my depression.

I prepared for my 5th IELTS, mind you by this time I had conquered LS&R, my only problem was writing, so I focussed only on writing. I picked April 6th for my 5th exam, I had about just over a week to prepare. My cousin gave me some videos by the popular online teacher IELTS Liz. This video by the way is different, it is not the ones you will find on her channel on YouTube. She calls them her “Advantage videos”. Basically, you pay her some money to access these videos. I didn’t pay anyway because my cousin had already paid for them. It has step by step process on how to tackle each question type. I did nothing for the 5th test but follow her instructions to the teeth, and it paid off! I did not try anything on LR&S, I just went for the test. My results came out on 19th of April, Good Friday and I scored LSWR – 8,7.5,7,7 . There is no adjective to express my excitement, I had the best Easter celebration, I went for a boat cruise with friends because it was worth it.

My takeaways, I took my time to write this for inspirational purposes. I know someone out there will be needing this inspiration. If you read closely, you will notice I passed them one after the other, you too can, even at once in your next trial!
I will respond to questions in this trend, if I get any. I can also share any material you might need. I will not be charging a coin because no one charged me a coin, all the materials I used I got them freely, freely I received and freely I shall share my knowledge and sources. The only paid material I used was Liz writing video, still I was not the one that paid for it!

My name is Mike, and remember, You too can be a success story!

Edited: I have been contacted to stop sharing the video due to copyright infringement. For everyone contacting me via emails or requesting for the video here, unfortunately I will no longer be able to share the video.

place a bet even if its with 100 naira. Simple as that.

They are not compelling you to use the whole money. Even if its on inplay on odd 1.001,

I thought this was austino677. Damn

so invariably you are saying if i deposit 10k and i place a bet of 1000 naira, irrespective of the result i would be allowed to withdraw the whole money

Bet9ja is playing dirty tricks with me
M account id is 354113
i made a deposit to my bet9ja account using my skye bank app and after due consultation and personal reason, i needed to withdraw the money back to my skye bank. This is the fourth time i have tried making withdrawals yet it has constantly been declined.
I have contacted there customer service and they are telling me i must place a bet.
i have carefully read their terms and conditions and there is no where i am compelled to bet before i can withdraw my money.

In their terms and conditions, it states that,
8. The Customer is entitled to apply for the closing of his Account whenever he/she wishes by requesting it to the Customer Service in written form. The effective closure of the Account will correspond to the termination of the Terms of Use. In case the reason behind the closure of the Account is related to concerns about possible gambling addiction the Customer shall indicate it.

Withdrawals will be remitted only to the same account from which funds paid into the player’s account originated.No withdrawal will be authorized if it appears to be linked with transactions predominantly performed with the purpose of allowing the transfer of money from a payment means to another. If such a circumstance occurs, the relevant amount may only be remitted to the player through the same payment means from which the money deposited into the player’s account originated.

i am humbly requesting that my money be transferred back to my skye bank i used in depositing, please how can i take further actions on bet9ja.

Any neteller exchanger, kindly drop ur contact info and ur rate.pls note escrow would be needed for our transaction

Pls I need help urgently, I want to transfer bitcoin from blockchain to neteller, but networks is requesting that I use bitpay, who can me how to go about this process

you are expected to handle social handles such as facebook, instagram, forums,youtube, by engaging your audience with valuable contents and marketing your company brand. so i would advice you to create contents on any sports topic you are conversant with, that can engage users when they visit your handle. use this as your marketing strategy when going for the interview. Best of luck
