Early this year, the news of popular Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele being listed on the cast of Avengers: Infinity War was everywhere. Few days later, we heard she's been replaced by her colleague, Genevieve Nnaji.

After so much excitement that a Nollywood actress will be staring in a Hollywood blockbuster movie, I am left with so many questions. Will she really star in the movie or will be replaced later with a non-nigerian black? Even when she acts, how will she show she's from here?

But it's a good development though. Nollywood is now on the international scene as movies like the wedding party 2 is grossing revenue internationally

Two secondary school students in Akwa Ibom State drowned in Qua Iboe River, Eket, on Thursday.
The students, who were in SS 2 at a private school, Alex Commercial Secondary School, Idua, in Eket, have been identified as Aniekan Harry and Uche Okoli.
Their corpses were recovered on Saturday, two days after.
The drowned students were said to have been in the company of six other students when they sneaked out of the school to play football near the river.
The two were said to have insisted on swimming in the river, after finishing the game.
Despite warning from their fellow students, one of them jumped into the river and wasn’t able to come out again. The other slipped and fell into the river, said Owen Oscar, who was among the other six students.
Master Oscar said he and the other students called in the marine police officers and some other people who were around the river bank at the time of the incident. He said some divers searched the river for the two students but were unable to find them.
“The marine policemen advised us to go and tell their parents what happened,” he said.
Asuquo Ekong, the Principal of Alex Commercial Secondary School, confirmed to reporters that the drowned students were from his school.
Mr. Ekong said that the school authorities weren’t aware that the students went outside the school premises to play football.
Mercydonia Harry, a relative of one of the drowned students, however, alleged that the other six students went to the riverside to initiate her brother into a cult.

Yobe State Governor, Alhaji Ibrahim Gaidam, has said that at least six additional secondary schools will be fully rehabilitated, furnished and equipped in 2018 as part of his administration’s ongoing effort to turn around the state’s education system.
Speaking yesterday when he visited Government Secondary School Nangere to inspect the renovation and equipping of the school, the governor said he was impressed by the new look of the school.
The sum of N490 million was used to renovate or build structures that include staff offices, classrooms, hostels, dining hall, laboratories, and perimeter wall fencing.
The renovation works also included the provision of furniture for offices, classrooms, student hostels, staff quarters and library as well as the provision of equipment, chemicals, reagents and other supplies for biology, chemistry, and physics laboratories.
GSS Nangere is one of five schools that were fully renovated, furnished, and equipped by the Gaidam administration at over N2 billion. The other schools are GSS Yunusari, GSS Gwio-Kura, GSS Fika, and GGSS Nguru.
“Staff and students here in this school now have a conducive environment. While I congratulate them, I call on the staff to use the opportunity to provide the best possible training to our future leaders,” Gaidam said.

A secondary school teacher has been reportedly beaten to death in a community in Anambra State, by a mother and her own daughter.
For allegedly flogging a teacher to death in Ogidi, Idemili North Local Government Area, Anambra state, a middle aged woman and her daughter have been arrested by the police.
According to Daily Trust, the deceased, simply identified as Rita, an Igbo teacher and class mistress at Starlight Secondary School, Ogidi, was said to have slumped and died following alleged brutality by the woman, her daughter and another man.
Daily trust reports that the deceased had flogged the student, the daughter to the woman, simply identified as Chinaza, over her refusal to sweep the classroom.
A teacher in the school, who prefered anonymity, said the deceased, had on entry to the class that fateful morning, queried why the classroom was unkept, and demanded from her students who was responsible for the sweeping.
“She was told that Chinaza was supposed to sweep the class before going home the previous day, but she did not.
“When she asked her the reason for her negligence, the girl responded in a rude way that angered the teacher and she had to flog her.
According to him, while she was being flogged, the girl quickly ran out, scaled through the school fence and made straight to their house, where she narrated her ordeal to the mother.
“The mother hurriedly rushed to the school together with sticks in company of her daughter and another relation,”he said.
He however said the trio were unable to meet the deceased on arrival at the school as the teacher had left for a meeting outside the school premises.
“All efforts by some of us to calm her down and allow the school authority to handle the case, proved abortive as she swore to revenge by herself,” he said.
Daily trust however gathered that the deceased was later intercepted at the entrance to the school gate by the trio while on their way out and immediately pounced on her, beating her to death.
When contacted, the Divisional Police Officer, incharge of the area, Mark Ijarafu, confirmed the incident, saying “We have arrested the mother, daughter and one other person.
“The corpse of the teacher has been deposited at Iyi-Enu mortuary, while investigation is ongoing,” he added.

All I'll say to the guy is go and test, being positive or negative is a status. Doesn't change who you are. What changes you is your attitude towards it.

Wasted DATA. Why did I even enter dis thread? Is it dat there's no happening thread dat this one made FP?!

just discovered the importance of Graphic Design. It is art and practice of planning and projecting ideas and experiences with visual and textual content. The form of the communication can be physical or virtual, and may include images, words, or graphic forms. The experience can take place in an instant or over a long period of time. The work can happen at any scale, from the design of a single postage stamp to a national postal signage system, or from a company’s digital avatar to the sprawling and interlinked digital and physical content of an international newspaper. It can also be for any purpose, whether commercial, educational, cultural, or political.

Graphic Designers are most times looked down on as they are not regarded as anything. But the truth is that every professional and potential designer is a born Artist, we must first posses the talent. It is painful whenever I see dudes out there trying to learn new Vector graphic applications without possessing the basic talent and skills.

What is more painful is when good, outstanding and exceptional artworks are not appreciated. Most people I call "non-artist" don't appreciate good designs. All they want is a flyer, logo or stationery that will just display their company name. "So long as they can read it" damn it! those guys are killing design and you still appreciate their effort?

Please always go for good designs. It is important

This is the real way to borrow and not pay (not joking). I have been using this method to borrow and not pay,presently I have NGN 7,534.83 in my account. Just carefully follow the steps and see what happens.

* Borrow the highest money you are eligible to borrow
at exactly 1:00am

* Use at least 50% of the money within 5days.

* On the 5th day remove the SIM and re-insert it

* Now put your phone in a clay pot

* Tie red rope around your left leg

* Finally shout MTN seven times.

After the above steps you will receive a message saying "Give it shall be given to you. We have overlooked your debt so that NCC can overlook ours".

Don't thank me what are friends for.

I would have love but it might just irritate me . . . . .

lekinsone:
May God bless their hussle. I just pity most of them because after passing through this condition for 4yrs or thereabout, they will either be under employed or no employment @ all.

Noting differentiates a mechanical engineer from a road side mechanic. Some will even prefer to trust a road mechanic to a graduate from that field.

It is easy to learn computer repairs and become a pro in it than a computer engineer student.

For those looking for cheap cost of building a house, u can put everything from drawing of plan to construction works to an uneducated contractor.

U can now learn how to dispense drugs in the pharmacy without even seeing the four walls of a university.

I wish that a day will come when graduates will be paid according to their standard. Good morning friends...

“Success is determined not by whether or not you face obstacles, but by your reaction to them. And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence, they become your excuse for failure. If you look at them as a hurdle, each one strengthens you for the next.”

― Ben Carson

The above statement was made by Ben Carson, the first neurosurgeon to separate conjoined twins.

Ben Carson was born in Detroit, Michigan, on September 18, 1951. His mother, though undereducated herself, pushed her sons to read and to believe in themselves. Carson went from being a poor student to receiving honours and he eventually attended medical school. As a doctor, he became the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital at age 33, and became famous for his ground-breaking work separating conjoined twins.

Both Ben and his only brother, Curtis experienced difficulty in school. Ben fell to the bottom of his class, and became the object of ridicule by his classmates. Watching movies and imagining stories is what he loved doing. He developed a violent and uncontrollable temper, and was known to attack other children at the slightest provocation. The poverty he lived in and the difficult times he experienced in school seem to exacerbate the anger and rage.

His mother was determined to turn them around so she required them to read two library books a week and give her written reports, even though with her poor education, she could barely read them. She limited their TV time. After several weeks of his mother's unrelenting position, Carson began to find enjoyment in reading.

Ben began to learn how to use his imagination and found it more enjoyable than watching television. This attraction to reading soon led to a strong desire to learn more. Carson read books on all types of subjects and found connections between them. He saw himself as the central character of what he was reading, even if it was a technical book or an encyclopaedia. He read about people in laboratories, pouring chemicals into a beaker or flask, or discovering galaxies, or peering into a microscope.

He began to see himself differently, different from the other kids in his neighbourhood who only wanted to get out of school, get some nice clothes, and a nice car. He saw that he could become the scientist or physician he had dreamed about. Staying focused on this vision of his future helped him get through some of the more difficult times.

Ben Carson had a raging temper that translated into violent behaviour as a child.One time he tried to hit his mother with a hammer because she disagreed with his choice of clothes. Another time, he inflicted a major head injury on a classmate in a dispute over a locker. In a final incident, Ben nearly stabbed to death a friend after arguing over a choice of radio stations.

The only thing that prevented a tragic occurrence was the knife blade broke on the friend's belt buckle. Not knowing the extent of his friend's injury, Ben ran home and locked himself in the bathroom with a Bible. Terrified by his own actions, he started praying, asking God to help him find a way to deal with his temper. He found salvation in the book of Proverbs in a passage that went, "Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city."

You too can use that big challenge you have as a stepping stone to your "High Place". Ben Carson used his movie addiction as an advantage by converting it to Story books.

I will finish by saying "If any of you lack wisdom, understanding, patience, manner or anything he should ask God who gives abundantly"
