I am a graphics designer that is very efficiency with the use of Corel Draw and on my way to being exceptional in Photoshop.
I am hoping if I can be offered any remote job based on the evidence of the designs I created.
I can create all manner of designs as well as function as a social media handler, and data entry specialist.

maasoap:
You are highly ignorant, alongside the people who liked and shared your post. The fact that we expected government to do everything is another reason (besides corruption of course) why we are failing as a society. Even in USA, individuals and organisations don't leave every responsibility to their government, most especially education.
I'm not saying this issue is not beyond berekete family but the kind of mindset of yours is totally and completely off

And I was thinking you had a way to indicate the ignorance of someone else while trying every possible means to hide yours that is even beyond hiding.
Let's eveluate everything that this strike issue is revolving around.
There's a 2009 agreement on universities funding between this body and the federal Government of which the Govt never honored in full and it kept on pilling up over the years.
Then, the government introduced a new payment procedure for their workers and the union are in disagreement with this payment formula, of which they set up their body of experts to come up with a suitable formula that will be presented to the government for they to evaluate and adopt (if possible) or at least, even consider it. The government in question totally rejected their proposal without even an evaluation into their own structure. Instead, they rather refused to pay most of them because they didn't enroll into IPPIS.
So Mr, I will just need you to tell me in any of those instances stated above, where the citizens of the best nations in the world would have intervened by the means of collective contribution.
Of course, governmental responsibilities is what is expected from everyone but some things are just unspeakable. What the federal government did and is still doing is overall injustice and despite the fact that many youths are out of the university for the period over this, I am glad ASUU are mean to get to the final point of it this time around.


Let me just tell you that this thing here is a common scenereo that will hardly make a headline in developed nations.
If you heard about the recent strike of UK lecturers, who demended for a restructuring in their payroll, tell me how long it lasted for it to be fixed.

The total amount in question was around 5billion Naira and I support ASUU to reject the money.
There are certain things that shouldn't be allowed despite the insanity of the government that we find ourselves in.
It is the responsibility of the Government to provide those allocations and they haven't been living up to expectations.
If private individuals should be the one contributing the money that governments are supposed to be allocating to their Ministries, Departments and Parastatals, then in the nearest future, we won't just be calling for contribution to end ASUU strike because there will be lots of other strike that the government will ignore, expecting the public to do their normal donation.
Personally, the rejection is a welcomed development.

doggedfighter:
Let your relative speak to the aunty himself if the visits are overwhelming for him




Or is he having speech issues too?


It's not as serious as you are making it seem.

You wouldn't know how serious it is because I am the one here.
He forgets things that happened even in the last 30mins.
What I am just saying is that condition like that is something that needs the maximum rest for his head to come by and obviously, he isn't getting any.
I could just drive him out to my own place but the distance is too much.

***

Though they call it courtesy, I still havent figured the irony in farting out loud and apologizing when it's a natural phenomena and everyone have the tendency of also doing just that.

Ex0rcistt:
You would have to go to an MTN accredited shop, they will do that free of charge. I did mine last week. 1st pics before and 2nd pics after unlink the other lines.

Okay. Thanks

Pierocash:
it can be unlinked through the Nimc app. I have not done it,but have seen people do it

There's no visible unlink option in the NIMC Mobile Application.
But if you have seen anyone successful done the unlink, pls help make inquiries of the process so you will enlighten us.
Thanks a lot.

Kdon2:
Call their customer care line for clarification. Very simple. Tell them someone told you welcome back is #10k for sim you got as gift from someone else. They ll enlighten you better. Besides I don't think pre registered sim is allowed. You just dey disturb yourself.

Thank you.
Pls what do you mean by 'pre-registered sim' and where do you think it is not allowed?

So, I bought a new MTN sim but I got home after registrating and from the message MTN sent to me, an additional number was linked to my NIN.
Pls I need help with removing the number from my NIN.
I already contacted NCC and even MTN but nothing positive have come out.
If you have an easier suggestion on how I can do the unlinking, pls let me know�

So, my phone got stolen last week and inside it is my major sim card that I have been using for over 6years.

The line in question is linked to my NIN but the initial Sim registration was done by someone else. I no longer have the sim pack as well.
Ps: I bought the sim as already registered.

So, i went for a welcome-back last week Saturday in MTN Head-Office at UWANI, ENUGU and the guy at the desk told me that since the initial sim registration was done by someone else, that they will have to contact their Lagos office for approval to welcome-back the sim and the whole process will cost me #10,000.
In that same office, my friend did his welcome back two weeks ago for #1k.
A part of me felt that the guy wants to just make extra cash from be because it was just him and another customer service that is sitted far from him that were working that very day.
But I want to be sure if his claims are true.

Pls if you have had any experience like this, enlighten me.
What I want to know is if it will cost that much to welcome back your sim if it wasn't registered to your name even if it is linked to your NIN.
Have you done any welcome back like that?

The next thin now na to look for the country wey go borrow us the money to replace the expenses

In this country, civil servants that witness transfers are just those with no enough fund to work their way into staying permanently in their suitable working location.
No be today transfer at workplace start and no be today them begin violate am. Las las, them no go sack or retire anybody.

One of the most stubborn and straightforward Governors : i have seen.
Glad to see Governor Wike taking after him.

Applications for A. G. Leventis African Biodiversity Fellowship Programme 2021 are now open.

When is the Application Deadline:
29th October 2021

Tell Me About A. G. Leventis African Biodiversity Fellowship Programme:
This new Fellowship programme, launched in September 2021 is run by Professor Milner-Gulland, Tasso Leventis Professor of Biodiversity in the Department of Biology, and her team in the Interdisciplinary Centre for Conservation Science. It offers NGO, government and business employees working on biodiversity conservation, as well as researchers in academic institutions, the opportunity to engage with researchers based at the University of Oxford, and to benefit from the training, resources and opportunities the University has to offer. The scheme offers the chance to spend up to three months at Oxford, attending training courses, networking and creating collaborations, writing papers, and developing ideas. It also offers remote support, training and networking opportunities before and after the time spent in Oxford. Successful applicants can spend their Fellowship in any Department of the University as long as their project is within the sphere of conservation.

The programme will have three core aims:

To support conservation practitioners in the local and international NGO sectors, government officials who are designing and implementing conservation policies, and businesses developing and implementing corporate biodiversity strategies to build their skills, capabilities and networks and thereby enhance their ability to contribute to conservation in their home country;
To ensure that Oxford’s research is informed by, and meaningful for, real-world conservation issues, and is carried out in collaboration with in-country end-users;
To build long-term relationships between Oxford researchers and conservation practitioners, strengthening Oxford’s ability to make a real-world difference.
What Type of Scholarship is this?
Fellowship

Who is Eligible for A. G. Leventis African Biodiversity Fellowship?
If you are a senior member of staff, who would benefit from the opportunities offered by taking part in our programme and stepping away from your NGO, government, or business environment and commitments for a short period of time, to develop new strategic approaches, write up their ideas, or build partnerships, then the A. G. Leventis African Biodiversity Fellowship scheme may be right for you.

Alternatively, if you are at a relatively early stage in your career, and would benefit from the academic possibilities offered by the University of Oxford and the ICCS group you are also particularly welcome to apply. Particularly if you would benefit from learning new skills, analysing and writing up your datasets, and building an international network.

*NB This scheme is open to African nationals only
Which Countries are Eligible?
African countries

Where will Award be Taken?
UK

How Many Fellowships will be Given?
3

What is the Benefit of A. G. Leventis African Biodiversity Fellowship Programme?
Our vision is for this programme to leverage Oxford’s research strengths and advantages in terms of access to resources and networking opportunities, to support those working in biodiversity conservation in their home countries to build essential collaborations and opportunities. Visitors will be given vital time and support to, for example: realise the potential of their datasets, design and test their conservation strategies, to develop new ideas, attend training courses, network with potential collaborators and to share their knowledge and experience with their Oxford-based peers. This will benefit everyone: the practitioners themselves, researchers, students, and the wider university. Most importantly, it will enable more effective and sustainable biodiversity conservation into the long term, on the ground.

A comprehensive fellowship experience, the experience we provide for fellows extends far beyond academic inputs. Our programme considers their entire experience in the UK, offering opportunities to take part in activities such as visiting the many museums and historic colleges Oxford has to offer, formal banqueting in Oxford’s colleges, attending Evensong, punting, birdwatching, and other ‘tourist’ activities, not to mention becoming immersed in British culture, food and customs, and importantly, making long lasting friendships and collaborative relationships.

We ensure that visitors are paired in advance with an academic working in their particular area of interest, and they also get an early career researcher to act as a “buddy”. This benefits both the visitor and the early career researcher. This mentoring system ensures that our visitors have two points of contact, for academic experiences but also for cultural and practical questions, and for socialising.

How Long will Program Last?
Up to 3 months

Father: yes I know, but ur mum and I ain't blood relations, your grandma, my mum is your blood relation... U can't marry ur blood relation

That's will be too complicated for a 4yr old to understand..

So, considering the recent trends about kids asking their parents and other adults around them certain weird questions that are always difficult to explain to them as a child, I came across this picture and was wondering the best possible answer any parent could render at this point.
So, if you were to be this parent, what will you say next

Cc: lalasticlala, seun.

The peaceful political structure of Enugu State is one thing i must commend especially at the apex level.
Every region feels satisfied because the position will definitely get to them as no one is marginalized. this is exactly same structure that the Igbos have been preaching to the north but like they would defend, 'they are born to rule'.

There's something else she isn't telling us.
That thing that either keeps a lady or sends her back in a marriage/relationship.

Karim Benzema says he’s looking forward to finally linking up with Kylian Mbappe after the Real Madrid star was confirmed as part of France’s squad for the Euros.
The Real Madrid striker is back with his country after a six-year absence and he can finally team up with the young PSG star
Benzema is back with France for the first time in six years, having been absent from the team since 2015 in the wake of his alleged involvement in the Mathieu Valbuena sex tape scandal.

Having shined with Real Madrid ever since, Benzema is now back in the fold after several productive talks with head coach Didier Deschamps, and he’s looking forward to playing in a squad featuring several World Cup-winning attackers.

What did Beznema have to say?
“It’s clear I’ve had a lot of feedback,” he told Onze Mondial. “It can be only easy [to play with Mbappe]. It’s true that he’s a young player, but very, very talented.

“I like his movements, how he plays football. Now it’s up to us to get along well on the pitch, but anyway, I have no doubts about that.

“Still, we should not focus on the Mbappe-Benzema duo. There are many very talented players in this team: [Antoine] Griezmann, [Olivier] Giroud, [Paul] Pogba, [Ousmane] Dembele, [Kingsley] Coman, [Wissam] Ben Yedder.

“The danger can come from anywhere and that is so much better for France.”

‘A source of pride’
Benzema’s return to the national team will see him represent his country for the first time since 2015, having been left off of the team’s World Cup-winning squad in 2018 as well as the Euros squad in 2016.

The Real Madrid star alleged that he was left off due to racism, but he has since mended any burned bridges with Deschamps.

Valbuena himself has also weighed in on the decision, saying he is at peace with Benzema’s inclusion and Deschamps’ decision to call him in.

Benzema, meanwhile, is thrilled to be back with France as he’s looking forward to finally earning his 82nd cap after so many years away.

“It’s more than being happy; it’s a source of pride,” he said. “I’ve been waiting for this for a while. I have always worked, I never gave up, never let go. In the end, it’s a reward.

“I’m super happy, I can’t wait to be there, to train, to start the games. It’s a team with such talents, such players, and I too want to play on this team.”

Living long is something that every human desire in one way or the other.

Some may say that it is not necessarily how long a person gets to live that should matter to us but on how well the life of that individual was able to positively affect other humans that we should be more concerned about. Despite that note, we cant still deny that we all want to advance in age as much as possible.

If an offer is brought to the table, majority of humans would prefer to get to a reasonable age before they move over to the other side. Over 90% would choose to die at 70 rather than 60 and so on.

There are health cases where an individual is already aware of their death as nothing could be done about it. In situations like that, the individuals that are victims have somehow desired for an extension of their time on earth which they will be unable to get.

The tips to be emphasized on isn’t a guarantee to old age but a way of placing you on a better edge; a way of giving you a better chance to advance as much as nature permits. below are what is expected of every health conscious individual:


In terms of diet:

A lot of things ought to be attended based on this but for the sake of a less cumbersome writing for the reader, we shall just consider the most important in these.

When the resources are at disposal, one must endeavor to eat three healthy meals a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). This comes with a condition that an individual must be able to control the portion size of every food that is being consumed. One is advised to only consume the quantity that is enough to satisfy the hunger and them stop as any extra consumption is causing more damage to the body than good. However, dinner is best when consumed as early as possible and should be targeted to mostly light foods.

The bulk of food consumption should consist of healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk products. Uncooked food like the fruits are best washed with safe clean water before consumption and any manner of uncooked meat must be avoided.



In terms of physical health

Physical exercise have been attributed by may health personnel’s as a tool that is helpful to man and this is because the benefits that are attached to the act cannot be overemphasized.

When it comes to physical exercise, thirty minutes of modest exercise (walking is OK) at least 3 to 5 days a week is recommended, but the greatest health benefits come from exercising most days of the week. Again, and again, the act has been proven to be a mechanism that can help boost self confidence and raise self-esteem of individuals as well as helping to improve the general mental health.

Regular exercise can prevent and reverse age-related decreases in muscle mass and strength, improve balance, flexibility, and endurance, and decrease the risk of falls in the elderly. Regular exercise can help prevent coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure. Regular, weight-bearing exercise can also help prevent osteoporosis by building bone strength.

To be on a safer side of the bargain however, persons over the age of 40 (male) and 50 (females), as well as individuals with an already existing condition that increases their risk of developing the coronary heart disease like diabetes, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, a family history of heart attacks and heart diseases are all advised to consult medical professionals before engaging in intensive physical exercises.


On a final note,

Get enough sleep daily! This is something many people ignore as many people are more interested in getting everything out of life rather than even resting. The Centre for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the following by age group (naps inclusive); 12-18 hours from birth to 2 months, 14-15 hours from 3-11 months of age, 12-18 hours for 1-3 years of age, 11-13 hours for 3-5 years of age, 10-11 hours for 5-10 years of age, 8.5-9.5 hours for 10-17 years of age and those 18 and above need 7-9 hours of sleep. Elderly people need about 7-9 hours but do not sleep as deeply and may awaken at night or wake early, so naps (like kids need) allow them to accumulate the total of 7-9 hours of sleep.

This warning is coming after the series of attacks between the two sides that have resulted in the death of over 53 Palestinians (which also included 14 children) as a result of numerous heavy strikes from Israel on Gaza which is a self-governing Palestinian territory on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
On the Israel side, over six deaths have been confirmed in the recent attacks.

As a student, a good or at least, portable smartphone is what one need for academic purposes.
So, I came up with 35k to get a phone for myself but the budget seem too small for the brands I know.
To start with, I would need a phone with 4G network and then good battery and then, at least 2G RAM. Other things are secondary.
Pls if there's any brand you would recommend to me, that would be cool.
Thank you.
