TETFUND has gone the way of other moneys. It has been seen as opportunity for academics to achieve like their politician counterparts.

Research is swept under the carpet and done peripherally and the rest of the money pocketed. You cant blame the academics because they earn peanuts as salary.

Have you wondered when a lecturer is building a good house and driving posh cars and you think its just handouts and stuffs.

If the proper things are not done, we shall continue to cry wolf cos there cant be peace without justice.

Look at the professors presenting election results and you will start weeping. These are no mere professor but Ivory Tower heads and egg heads.

May of them have never got any publication in an international journal or have a paper presented in an international conference.

Who is talking of TETFUND, its part of the largess. We can never be ranked with other universities even in Africa let alone Europe or America.

Just paste the whole damn message into google search bar. You will be taken to so many links where people are reporting same message in different fora.

This has helped me a lot.

If given the opportunity, who is one prominent Nigerian you would like to spend time with on a dinner table?

The person for me is the out going president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan; I cant really wait to get a first hand account of his experience...

Front page things let them see what we drink

ELIMINATE OIL STAINS
When car oil drips onto driveways and garage floors, it leaves its leaves an unsightly stain that's tough to remove with ordinary cleansers. That's where a little Coke comes in handy. Pour a liberal amount of cola over the stain, let it bubble and soak for an hour, then hose clean.

Sugary drinks aren't allowed in all households these days, but even the most health-conscious of folks can find a few reasons to keep a can of Coke around the house. Did you know Coke could help you do the dishes? How about cleaning your laundry with cola? Would you try Coke to clean your car battery? These are only a few alternative uses for Coca-Cola. If you need more excuses to stock this classic soda in your home, read on!

CAR CARE
Coke can be used to clean car battery terminals; the slight acidity does not react with battery acid so you can pour it over the battery and let it wash away corrosion. Coke also can be used to defrost a frozen windshield, and a liberal amount of cola poured over the windshield and bumper can help remove bugs and road debris (always rinse with plain water to avoid damaging the car’s paint job.)

PEST CONTROL
A small bowl of Coke will attract slugs and snails; the acid in the Coke will kill them. A cup of Coke also can be used to lure wasps, which then drown in the liquid. You also can get rid of an ant hill by liberally dousing the area with Coke.

BOOST BENEFICIAL BACTERIA
Coke can help improve your compost pile. Add one can of soda per week to your compost; the sugar in the cola feeds beneficial microorganisms, and the cola increases the acidity of the pile, helping material decay faster.

A “FIZZY” FOR YOUR TOILET BOWL
Toilet bowls can get downright disgusting, filled with unsightly stains under the rims and around the bowl. Make an unpleasant cleaning chore easier by pouring a can of Coke right into the toilet. Let stand for an hour before scrubbing with a stiff brush. The carbonation will “fizz” through the toughest grime, leaving you with a sparkling clean bowl.

RUST BUSTER
Maybe you've heard that Coca-Cola is great at removing rust. The hype is true; the phosphoric acid in a can of Coke means that with an overnight soak you can remove rust from metal with ease. Simply submerge the item in a tray of Coke, then scrub clean with a stiff brush in the morning.

Hyping Buhari's potentials in this way is quite amazing and exposes a whole lot of ignorance. Exasperation will continue to be the order of the day in as much as the long decay in the polity has caused a lot of tantrums.

Over hyping and expectation will pull Buhari down as well. This man cannot do majic to lead us to the promised land.

This school cert and military cert holder may not even have what it takes, but I understand Nigerians reacting to a stimulus, with a mere reflex akin to the jubilations when military took power in the 90s (I was a lad).

I cant help laughing at the melodrama of asking Okonjo Iweala not to advise Buhari. Its just very funny.

I am waiting for the list of ministers and the initial policy formulations.

Lets watch the drama as it unfolds

This dude had concluded his training program sponsored by his employer and planning to stay back to search for something better in the US.

I am wondering why someone should decide to become an undocumented immigrant in a foreign country abandoning a job that earns him good 200 bales every month in Nigeria.

Can you help with advise!

1. Creativity.


If everyone who claims to “think out of the box” really did so, there would be nobody left inside it. Like the other qualities discussed below, you need to demonstrate your creativity rather than just asserting that you have it.

Do you have stories to tell about how you conceived and implemented positive workplace change? Perhaps you have changed how your company’s products or services are produced, packaged or marketed. Maybe you came up with ideas about how to shorten production time or eliminate or reduce administrative procedures and red tape. These are all examples of stories you can tell with a great takeaway message.

2. Subject-matter expertise.

What employer doesn’t want someone who is an expert in his or her field? Becoming a thought leader isn’t as daunting as it might sound when you take the time to keep up-to-date. Read professional journals, or – better yet – contribute an article and get published. Make the effort to offer poster-board presentations, lead workshops or give talks at professional conferences.

It's easier than ever to demonstrate your expertise by publishing a blog, YouTube videos or examples of code you’ve written. You can also curate your creative content and put it online.

Depending on your field, one or another medium will be better or more appropriate, but when you describe yourself as a “published author” or can point to other intellectual achievements, you gain the credibility necessary to be seen as a leading professional worth wooing.

3. Pride in work.

No one likes people who continually self-promote with statements like, “I’m the greatest at …” And, at the other end of the spectrum, many people find it difficult to tell how great they really are.

But when you speak about the tasks you’ve performed and accomplishments you’ve achieved with a smile on your face and project enthusiasm with your voice, you show that you aren’t the kind of worker who just logs hours and waits for a paycheck at the end of the week.

4. Adaptability to changing technology.

Baby boomers have gone from records to eight tracks, cassettes, CDs and DVDs, to carrying around music on their phones or simply streaming it at will. Likewise, in the workplace, virtually nothing is done the way it used to be. The sound of the music may be the same, but the way you hear it continues to morph.

Employer demand for people who are a whizzes at Excel far surpasses the demand for people who excel with their slide rule! No matter what your generation, every employer wants to know that you're up-to-date with necessary technologies. Moreover, they expect you to be able to show how you will keep that way on an ongoing basis.

It's great when you can interject in an interview something like this: “I’ve gone from carbon paper to 'Ctrl C,' and I can’t wait to see what’s next!”

5. Willingness to go above and beyond.

You might be surprised to hear someone say something like, “I’ve done everything my boss asked of me,” and then be astonished to learn that this isn’t as impressive a statement as they thought.

Telling a story about how you did whatever it took to get a project done on time and under budget gives you much greater cred. The person who relates, “I stayed an extra couple of hours at work to see [whatever] through to completion,” shows the dedicated spirit that employers can’t necessarily demand but nonetheless expect and love.

When you prepare stories that demonstrate your personal qualities, you’ll be amazed at how appreciative and responsive your interviewers will become. By conveying your passion, expertise, adaptability, and “can-do, will-do” attitude, you’ll be well on your way to making your next boss say to you, “You’re hired!”

Happy hunting!

Its a simple psychology: the high hopes on Buhari are borne out of ignorance of the so called electorates who do not not think of the history of decay in the polity- same fate that Jonathan suffered. This simply leads to frustration and a call for another messiah.

Nigerians should realize that it is not yet uhuru!

The brief woman that dealt with me should wait for me after gulping some doses of weed

My Nissan Extera delays before responding to accelerate when I march the throttle and then takes off abruptly like an aircraft leaving the tar mark.

Anyone knows the remedy to this?

How are these prepared?

Dogs are highly revered in western countries as the typical man's best friend, but in some places in Nigeria, the usages to which dogs are subjected are quite bizarre.

A friend's story:

He traveled to this village where "bush method" and "shot put" are used when answering nature's call. On arriving at a particular bush where he was directed to offload his bowel, he discovered some dogs were watching from considerable distance. He maintained his calm as they were not really close coupled with the fact that he was really pressed.

He did his bit and rose up to leave after cleaning up. The dogs watching from afar took off towards him with a speed he could not explain. As he took to his heels, he noticed the dogs did not go beyond where he was standing.

Coming back to check what happened, the dogs had disappeared. And where is the bomb he left behind, they were all gone.

shocked, he could not narrate his experience to anyone.

Things repeated themselves when a child of about six months pooed and a dog was summoned. The baby's anus was squeezed out while the dog licked it clean before devouring the remaining thing on the floor.

The essence of dogs in this area is different from what our western brothers use them for.

Thanks man, are they stoke treatment specialists. Can you give me their contacts? I will be grateful

andyguy2k1:
Have you heared of wareke, in Auchi Edo state.
They are professionals in that field.

Thanks my sister, he feels serious waist pain and asks everyone to hlep him hold his waist. It looks like the pain a woman in labour experiences. The parent says placing him on antibiotics and heavy analgesics shortens his life span and therefore only gives him vitamins and paracetamol. I really want to find out better help for the 12 year old.

Ibsgal:
I'm sorry to hear that he isn't feeling too well. SCD is a very difficult situation, but with proper management, he'll be able to lead a relatively normal and happy life.

It all depends on his current clinical presentations. What are his symptoms? If you could describe the symptoms he's experiencing a bit more, that would be great. Many people with SCD presents with different symptoms at different stages of the disease, so clinical manifestations differ among SCD patients. MANAGEMENT AND CLOSE OBSERVATION ARE VERY IMPORTANT, so please make sure that he frequents his pediatrician or hematologist. It is recommended to take 1mg of folic acid a day. Additionally, if he's under 5, you can put him on a daily antibiotic until he is 5 years of age - this is because his immune system is compromised and he is therefore prone to early childhood infections (please talk to his physician about this). Also blood vessel occlusion is very common in SCD, so it might be helpful to put him on an analgesic or NSAIDs (I recommend talking to his physician about this since he/she would be better at making an assessment of his situation).

Bla bla bal, their hypocritical charlatanism started from the civil war era, read Achebe's book, but the northern ishmelites will deal with them when the time is ripe!

It is in their nature like their favorite rotten yam and slippery soup .

I ended up buying over-sized jean trouser in an open market in Germany, still due to language barrier. When I realised this, the next two days as I wanted to rock it to a friend's party. I rushed to the particular place I bought it and the chinko guy that sold it to me had completely forgotten. I spent 30 mins looking for who could translate English to him but could not find a single person. I went back to my hotel to use google translator (I did not have internet phone). Coming back I started reading the translated German like Jonathan addressing Nigerians. It was too funny

Immediately the Chinko guy realized what I was saying he lashed out in German, looking so angry. Omo I dropped my speech and entered real Warri pidgin. See haalaa; "your faaaada! abi u no know say I dey para for this kain tin ni?

The guy beckoned, " kein Problem, wahlen..." bringing out another roll of jean trousers.

I witnessed the sickle cell crises experienced by my nephew and thought I would ask about help.

Health experts recommendations will be highly appreciated.

Also, does any one know where stroke patients are better treated home or abroad?

Thanks

Since the declaration of General Buhari as the winner of the just concluded Presidential Election, Femi Fani Kayode's vituperations fissled into an ominous silence. I am wondering what becomes of this gentleman and his pyrotechnics in the present administration, deflect to APC to continue as Squealer in Animal Farm, continue championing the cause of his dear PDP with fearless zest or form or join another opposition front to continue his political rascality?,

This question begs for an answer

The voting along regional lines in the last elections shows the long existing different interests between the predominantly Muslim north cum south west and the predominantly christian south.

Recall that the agitations that led to the Nigerian civil war came from the south east and Niger Delta that voted against the Northern flag bearer.

The foreign power that was behind the present cerebrated "victory" might not have meant well for the country.

Remember, for the first time in the history of the post civil war Nigeria, the Niger Deltans realised that the "biafrans" are with them in the struggle. The suspicions of yesteryears as to weather the "Biafrans" really have a genuine agenda in co opting the Niger delta as part of the "Baifra" region has been put to rest.

The plotters of this "victory", I mean, that "powerful nation" is at it again.

This might sound like a clanging cymbal, but think about it.

I have never seen such saboteurs like the yorubas of the western region. When the polity heats now you will see another diversionary interest of theirs. What Achebe said in 'there was a country" is still in play.

Keep calm GEJ, YOU WILL STILL LAUGH.

Why not get a good apartment in Dubai and relax first. I am sure you might not have much in your bank account. Patience could continue trying her hands on some stuff. Truly try a change of scene. I am an internationally acclaimed agent, and can get you a decent apartment in any part of the world, ie if you have not acquired any property off-shore.

Baba is really not laughing and coming in with zest and unmitigated fury. I wonder what becomes of this out going regime. Will he really probe them?

Congrats Buhari. But promise use that we wont be subjugated for not voting for you.

The Incoherent and non composed dispositions put up by the Nigerian eggheads that announced the on going collated election results have attracted widespread remarks across the world. The lessons to be learnt from their faux pas are as follows:

(1) Our professors should go for international conferences. To this effect, it is observed that these things are not always regarded in their upgrading to the status of "professor". TETFUND has been seen as an avenue to make some money to supplement the meagre money the academicians receive as salary. It is seen as an opportunity to get some money and accomplish what they have been unable to achieve in a long time in the academia. The academicians mostly attend local conferences that are most of the time ceremonial in nature. When they attend international conferences, they see it as opportunity to visit foreign countries and without playing any major role in the conference.

(2)Paper presentation should be made a criterion for attending conferences both local and especially international conferences. Before money is released for the attend of any conference abroad, the academician must have a good paper to present at the conference.

(3) Majority of Nigerian professors above the age of 50 have serious bad sights due to constant reading. These people should be enlightened on the better ways to use their eyes to prevent bad sights at older age. They should use light shielded glasses on computers and good eyeglasses generally. Good diets like fruits and vegetables and less alcoholism should also be encouraged.
