Avicky!!! You are to vocal!!!***** I said that in French but was written in English.

Stale news. Are you just knowing that?

Sunnypar:
I am on the floor rolling and greeting you. I look forward to the requirements.... you be master..... greatest hailings.

In the blue corner is Avicky and in the red corner is Manie.
Avicky throws a double combination with a jab, but Manie returns with....... a heavy knockout...
she is on the ground....

Referee: Macjc....is counting...1,2,3,4,
....is this going to be a knock out....trust Avicky

Hey dude. I'm not on any stupid ground of yours. Spare my name mbok. I have better things to do than to bandy words with Richard Branson.

Do not disturb. Reading in progress.

Every graduate needs to have marketable skills, apart from teaching what other talents do you have that can you can monetize.

I sold plots/acres of land at Ibafo,mowe, ofada, papalanto, owode egba, ifo, pakoto on weekends and during vacation while working as a part time maketing executive with a real estate company between 2003 and 2009. As a matter of fact, I made good money from this venture. The fund made was diversified into money market instruments and the capital market.

I started investing in the capital market in 1994, as a matter of fact I have stock brokerage portfolio domiciled with the following houses, Investment One, CSL Stockbrokers, UBA Capital, FBN Capital. I will not give the value of this portfolio, but if you do not have a minimum of N5million FBN capital cannot do business with you.

My full name is Emmanuel Ewumi, you can google my name and see my contributions on investment blogs. As far back as 2007, I was doing a combined margin trading portfolio of N30 million on the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
I was only teaching because of the passion for teaching, and i never challenged my employers for a raise or query them why my subordinates were earning higher than me, I was not involved in the usually office politics, I never lobbied anybody to be made a management staff, everywhere I worked my promotion was always very rapid, because I am a workaholic.
.............................................................................................................................................................................

I am very sorry if I sound proud with my achievements, just trying to buttress the fact that everyone of us can do well for ourselves if we change our orientation.

NB. I made a 3rd class, not because I was not intelligent but because I never liked teaching/education, but thank God I later fell in love with the profession when I changed my mindset and discovered my purpose. I have postgraduate degrees and professional qualifications in business, marketing and management but God never allowed me to get a job in blue chip companies even-though I attended series of interviews.

I have worked in 3 schools between the time I started working in 1997 and my resignation in 2014.


..........................................................................................................................................................


I educate my friends and colleagues, about investments and planning for the future. One of my colleagues in the primary section of a school I left in 2006, called me about 2 weeks ago that his portfolio/asset/ investment has exceeded the N10 million mark. The guy is still working as an Assistant Head Master.
.........................................................................................................................................................................


I was motivated to think out of the box by 4 lecturers/professors. 3 at UNILAG and 1 at UNIPORT.

1.A late Professor of land and property law at UNILAG.
2. A late Professor of Education at UNILAG.
3. A retired Professor of Finance at UNILAG
4. A retired Professor of Finance at UNIPORT,

3 of these learned teachers were/are Naira billionaires, while the 4th is worth hundreds of millions. The only thing that differentiated these great men from their colleagues is there mind set and knowledge on how to make money, manage money and multiply money.

Just seeing this. Clap for yourself. At least you have your father's property to inherit.

I'm making my own waves, I don't need to advertise it.
I have my own skills and goals to achieve in life and to be a co-worker of manie collecting 20k is not one of it.

I wish your co-workers many more years with you.

Blessedbeauty:

Don't be a jack of all trade o.

Kereokwu:

Are you still in Abuja? If yes, where?

odimbannamdi:
I am EXTREMELY good in biology and can effortless teach SS classes. I am also quite good in chemistry and with a little bit of preparation, i can handle it too.

I would be glad if i get hooked up with a school that needs my services in Lagos state. i am willing to relocate provided i would be provided with accommodation and the pay is reasonable

Contact manie. He controls abi na manage schools for his siblings.

manie:
Readers are leaders, unfortunately the average Nigerian graduate only read to pass exams. In fact they stop reading after earning their degrees, teachers are gradually becoming of this. Most of us who read do not read wide. I have a library of about 2000 books which I started accumulating in 1995, the books cover various disciplines and areas of human interest eg Politics, Econimics, Marketing, Strategy, Education, Philosophy, Science, Theology, Psychology, Biology, Ecology, Business, Management, History, Culture, Finance, Investment, Enterpreneurship, Personal Development etc. I also have an e-library that consists of over 500 titles. ............................ Currently reading a great book titled "How come THAT idiot's rich and I'm Not" by Robert Shemin. I shall endeavour to share the titles of Personal Development books on this thread once in a month. Someone defined Knowledge as "what we know that gives us an edge". Anybody who is a functional practitioner in the Knowledge industry ought to have an edge over other citizens.

When sharing please don't forget your staff. They need the advice the most.

manie:
Graduates should embrace functional education, must be creative and be street wise. Graduates of Building Technology are jobless, while barely educated artisans in the building/construction sector are making cool. Just few months ago, the carpenter I contracted for the roofing and ceiling of a 3 bedroom bungalow earned professional fee of 100k for a job that lasted 6 days, while the bricklayers that did the German floor, plastered inside and outside of the building earned 250k. Rather than spend years on dead end jobs, graduates need to acquire marketable skills and having multiple streams of legitimate income is the way to go in the 21st century.

So can you educate us on how graduates can be streetwise and creative?

And also orientate your staff too because if they were, they won't pick up an employment in your school in the first place.

masties2:
I don't understand the thrust of your argument. Are you trying to justify the 10k per month salary or saying graduates should forget about school and take up bricklaying? I am asking cos truly I do not understand your point. Everyone wants a break through as well including teachers an if bricklaying is the new goldmine let me go and learn it sharply. Hunger doesn't understand passion

It's obvious he's justifying it because that's the range he pays his staff and anyone who wants to collect beyond that lacks passion.
Passion is synonymous to being underpaid in his dictionary.

Someone is saying A, he's saying D.

tobbiiqq:
It uses the nomal sized sim

Thanks. I've fixed it.

tobbiiqq:
Glad to hear uv got it.... Hope ur enjoyin it?

Not yet, i haven't gotten a sim yet. Is it a mini or micro it uses?

joliefille:
Dear Sir,
Your initial argument was that the school does not have a ready pool of educated human resources due to its location, so I pointed out to you that other businesses (schools) in the area are not faced with similar challenge.
There are members of this thread that call those areas mentioned home and therefore know better. Don't be like the "arm chair scholar" who has never been to Africa and says "Africa is in a corner of Nigeria".
NB: Iju is about #50 by cab from Canaanland.

Five gbosas for you fine girl, joliefille.
Gbam. Nothing more to add.

kellystech:
ph and it was a gift to me

Awww. Kind of far to me. I wanted to buy it from one tobbiiqq in ph but he wasn't patient enough for me so I have purchased it, brand new, thanks.

ityP:
is there memory card slot?

Yes.

lynxnoon:
For once I'd say Tecno did well with this tablet.

Although it feels heavy (well compared to my previous tab - Dell Venue 8 android), u really won't feel the weight after a while. Putting the casing that came with it didn't ad any extra bulk to it - made it even look sleeker.

I have received 2 OTA updates so far on it and it works smoothly.. . No lags though I have not put it to test with any heavy gaming.
Am so impressed with the Power usage - currently on 16% and I have not charged it for close to 3days now, though I have to tell u I put off cellular data and at present the mobile signal because I don't really need a Sim to be on it. It's been on WiFi but I have been streaming videos on it, normal to average browsing and light gaming (candy crush... Lo). Also a lot of reading on office suite and Adobe (which was the reason I got it away)

Below are a few screenshots, will find time to do a full review and upload.
Cheers

Just got the tab. Is it dual mini sim or micro sim?

She's a French graduate. Why should Portuguese be hard for we French graduates when we studied French that is not our lingua franca? Omo bone.

quintybabee:

kellystech:

artisticallyart:
I thought I was the only that noticed....she left the WhatsApp group screaming her battery was about to die. Imagine if there was no forum like this Ijlyriks?..... Life is a game....play it.

She has gotten what she wants now but karma is a bi. tch, that I know.

Is there anyone ready to sell their droipad 8h?
I'm interested please.

seglad2:
were is d skul

Ijlyriks has refused to say the name of the school. So that nairalanders won't come and take the position from her. People's mindset sha.

It's amusing when people need help, they quote you up and down for schools, when they get what they want, they chop clean mouth.

It is well.
