Politics / What The Buhari-led Administration Should Know About The Rearrest Of Mazi Nnamdi by chikachuks1(m): 10:50am On Jun 30, 2021
The arrest of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) is no longer news to us as it has gone viral on various media platforms. The Nigerian government may count it as a successful achievement to have rearrested the highly sought after leader of the IPOB. He is been tagged as a terrorist by the federal government and the entire northern Nigeria. Having critically looked at the matter closely, I want to recommend the following;

1) The Federal Government should address the issues of Nigeria: There are lots of issues bedeviling Nigeria as a country and the federal government is totally doing nothing about it. The death rate under the buhari led administration has drastically increased. The rate of unemployment is higher than in the past. Poverty, hunger, insecurity and lots more are been faced by the country and the president does nothing about it. Sheikh Gumi goes about defending and negotiating for the bandits and nothing is been done to him. The bandits has in recent time unleashed a high level of terrorism in the country and the federal government does nothing about it. Rather, the only problem they see is Nnamdi kanu. Its a shame to such a clueless government

2) The worst mistake Nigeria will ever make is to kill Nnamdi Kanu: The worst thing the federal government will ever do is to kill or even sentence him to life in prison. Remember that Nnamdi kanu has several citizenships including England and Israel. So killing him or detaining him for life will be a bullet misfired. The federal government should be warned on that.

3) Every Igbo man is a Biafran: Everybody born to the Igbo decent is a Biafran. Biafra runs within the veins of every Igbo man. Should Nnamdi kanu be killed, the agitation for Biafra will not cease. Remember that it was kick started by Ojukwu, continued by Uwaruike and now to Nnamdi Kanu. The next person is already in the pipeline and nithing can be done about it. The Igbos are proudly Biafrans. Just the way northerners are referred to as Arewa and the west as Oduduwa, Igbos are Biafrans and their is nothing the federal government can do about it.

4) Biafra must be: As it stands, the Igbos are no longer interested in any negotiation or discussion with the federal government. The only thing they want is freedom. It is time for them to go and enjoy their freedom, and nothing will stop that. The marginalization is a clear proof that Nigerians do not like Igbos. The federal government swore in 18 appeal court judges within the week. 11 are northerners and only 1 is an easterner. The way the igbos are been marginalized in the appoints of the buhari-led government is a clear proof that they are hated by the Nigerian government. Therefore, the igbos are also aware of such hatred. Thus two enemies cannot live together peacefully.

5) If anything happens to Nnamdi Kanu, someone more deadlier than him will arise: The fight for Biafran freedom is a fight that can only end when Biafra is achieved. Should anything happen to Nnamdi Kanu, a deadlier person will arise and it will spell doom for the entire Nigerian.

6) The south eastern governors cannot desire for the entire south east: Over and over again, the south eastern governors has refused to support the move for Biafra. The truth remains that all the south eastern politicians are too few to determine the faith of the entire populace. They should be warned. They are busy dancing to impress Mr Buhari who does not have their interest at heart. They forget that charity begins at home and as such do not remember that when ne is chased from town, he returns to his place.

Education / Futo Transcript Processing System: A Thug Of War Game by chikachuks1(m): 10:45pm On Apr 29, 2021
FUTO TRANSCRIPT PROCESSING SYSTEM: A THUG OF WAR GAME
https://www.alvannews.com/futo-transcript/
The prestigious Federal University of Technology Owerri which proudly stands as the Alma Mater of many great citizens resident in Nigeria and abroad has over time begin to decline in the quality of service they deliver to their students and alumni in general. As a university of technology and a center of excellence at that, it is expected that the quality of service delivered will be matchless and second to none.
Sadly, it is no longer that way. Most especially, the Records and Statistics Unit, where the academic transcript of alumni are been processed. The fact that the quest for knowledge never ends, the need to continue acquiring knowledge is on the increase. Graduates press harder to obtain their Masters’ degree, while masters’ degree holders press harder to acquire their PhD. As a result of that, the need for academic transcript has increased immensely. Seeing that for you to enroll into a higher level of programme, the transcript of the passed level is demanded. This has made the Records and Statistics department of the Federal University of Technology Owerri highly flooded with alumni who come to process their transcript.
Sadly, overtime, the transcript processing system of the Federal University of Technology Owerri has become a night mare and a thug of war game. It now takes a very long period of time to acquire your academic transcript. Because of the time it takes, many students has lost their admissions because they were not able to provide their transcript as at when due.
In FUTO, the processes involved in acquiring an academic transcript are summarized in these steps;
Register on the website at www.tps.futo.edu.ng
Make your payment
Submit your printout to your schedule officer of your department in the records and statistics unit.
These are the steps the students have to take. The rest will be the responsibility of the unit. The schedule officer compiles your result and forwards them to the Secretary who in turn minutes it for typing. In the end, the coordinator of the unit will approve and sign then the student will collect. Sadly, the time it takes for this process to be completed has become something else. There are lots of transcript applications that have lingered for more than 6 months.
What then is the issue? The unit complains of poor power supply which prevents them from typing those transcripts. But then, what does it actually cost for a Federal University of Technology which is popularly known as the Centre of Excellence to supply light to a sensitive unit as this. The cost of applying for a local transcript in the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) is ₦17,500 while the cost of applying for international transcript varies from ₦30,000-₦35,000 depending on the destination. Then imagine after paying such a heavy amount of money, you still wait for as long as unexpected to receive the same transcript you paid for. Then the only reason that will be provided to you is that there is no light to power the computers. This is seriously a frustrating process because many students have lost their admissions while waiting for their transcript to be ready. But then, processing and preparing a transcript could take as short as two weeks for a center of excellence, where efficiency and effectiveness is the watchword.
We therefore (the Alumni of the Federal University of Technology Owerri), use this medium to call on the Minister of Education, Minister of state for education and the Governing council to look into this matter and call the outgoing vice chancellor to order so that he can carefully look into this issue before the expiration of his tenure.

Business / 9 Reasons Why You Should Join Chymall In 2021 by chikachuks1(m): 9:30pm On Feb 12, 2021
It is not a strange news any more that Chymall changes life. Many people have benefited from the dividends of Chymall. We have seen several people build houses, buy cars, get married etc through the dividend of Chymall. As a result of that, this content is jeered towards giving you meaningful reasons why you should join chymall and make little funds depending on the level of commitment you make. But before then, see how chymall works

Before then, we have tried to tell you all you need to know about chymall. We also went further to prove to you that chymall is not a scam, rather it is a business you can invest into in this year 2021. But if you do not have the money to register, here is how you can make money from chymall without registering.
Since I personally started the business of chymall in mid 2020, i have not failed to tell my friends and families about it because we grow by lifting others. We grow better and faster when we grow together. No reasonable person will see anything that will be good and favorable to his friend and hoard the information.

As such, here are reasons why you should join chymall.

1) Chymall is a business worth investing into: It has stood the test of time. Having been an active partner in the business since last year, I have clearly understood the modus operandi of chymall.

2) It helps recycle your money: Today, as much as we believe in saving, yet we must believe more in investment. Investment will help put the little money you have into use. For example, if you have a million naira in the bank, in one year time, you will still have the same one million naira. But if you invest one million naira into a profitable business, you stand the chance of doubling the money in a short time. Although chymall is not an investment company, yet it is a lucrative business you can put your money into and do business which will yield more profit for you

3) It gives you profit every 10 days: Chymall gives you profit every 10 days without stress. At least, it puts money into your hand every now and then, instead of waiting once in a month for salary. With chymall, you will surely smile to the bank for the sake of the profit you make.

4) Referral is not a must: We have come across a lot of network marketing business where referral is mandatory, if you want to withdraw. In such businesses, you work hard but except you bring in people, you can never get paid or even grow in the business. But in chymall, we have hundreds of people who have not referred a single person since they started but keeps making their money every 10 days. So you see that with chymall, you are never under pressure of any kind to refer someone before you get paid

5) It is an extra source of income: In this 21st century, the worst thing that could happen is to depend on only one source of income for your survival and upkeep. Remember that human wants are never ending. Every day comes with its own demand and you must meet up with it. So depending on only one source will make you never have enough, talk more of savings. As such, chymall is an extra source of income for you. Most especially, if you are a family man, you could take care of your children's school fees with your proceeds from chymall. Therefore, ensure you do not depend on only one source for any reason.

6) It could even pay more than your main source of income: Chymall can pay you more than your main source of income. For example, use the table below to know how much you will invest to make a certain amount.
VIP AMOUNT TO INVEST PROFIT IN 10 DAYS PROFIT IN A MONTH
2 70,000 3500 10500
3 140,000 7000 21000
4 420,000 21,000 63,000
5 840,000 - 42,000 126,000
6 1,680,000 84,000 252,000
7 3,360,000 168,000 504,000

With the table above, you can check on which package to invest into and then determine how much you earn per month. Then reconcile the said amount with your monthly salary. You will agree with me that you stand the chance of making more money from chymall than you make from your main source of income. Also, you will be more blessed if you can successfully refer people of high package under you. One of my downliners saw the dividends of chymall and understood what he stands to gain from it that he approached the bank for loan. Today, he smiles every 10 days.

7) It does not need much of your time: Chymall does not need much of your time as other businesses do. If you can bring out 5 hours for chymall per week, i bet you, you will make it big. In the average civil service scenario, you work for about 8 hours per day which accumulates to 40 hours per week. But here, I am letting you know that if you can work for 5 hours per week, you stand to make it bigger than you main job in which you input 40 hours weekly.

cool It is not a ponzi scheme: Many people are very skeptical about chymall, thinking it is a ponzi scheme. They think that everything online is ponzi. Truth is that more than 50% of the total money in the world today is on the internet. The internet has become the oil well of many wise investors. We know that some ponzi schemes (MMM, Wazobia, Pennywise etc) came up at one time or the other but did not stand the test of time. For that reason, it is assumed that chymall is also one of them. For more emphasis and clarity, read this post titled, "is chymall a scam". You will understand it better from there.

9) Partnering with chymall will not make you lose focus of your main source of revenue: This point is coming up because I remember talking with a man about chymall and he clearly told me that he does not want to loose focus of his main business. As a civil engineer, he believes that all his investment should be within the engineering scope. Little did he know that none of us has ecommerce as our scope and source of revenue. We only saw the opportunity and we decided to take advantage of it. Today, the same opportunity is doing us real good. Chymall will not deter you from reaching your goals.

With these, you have the decision to make. Partner with chymall and you will have nothing to regret. Some of our key players in politics, banks, institution and churches are serious partners with chymall. So there is nothing to worry about.

Business / How To Make Money On Chymall Without Registering by chikachuks1(m): 11:44pm On Jan 31, 2021
Have you ever thought of been a partner with chymall but you do not have the fund? Do you know that you could actually make money from chymall even without registering. I will show you a secret on how to make money from chymall without registration, and if you apply, you will earn more than someone on VIP 5 per month.

Ordinarily, there are several ways of making money from chymall. Here are a few of them before i let the cat out of the bag

1. Your trading profit: Chymall pays you profit for your trade every 10-12 days. You earn depending on the package you subscribed for. So with this you are sure of making little cash every 10 days.

2. Referral bonus: When you refer and register a prospect, you are rewarded handsomely, depending on the package the person or people subscribed for.

3. Chain Store profit: Apart from been paid every time you refer or register a prospect, you also earn a chain store profit from all the people you register under you every 10 days. That is to say, as the 10 days of your prospects get completed and they are been paid, you also earn commissions for that. The higher the package your prospect subscribed for, the higher the chain store profit you earn

4. Second Generation Earning: Chymall pays you for both the first generation and the second generation. The point highlighted in 3 above (chain store profit) is the first generation earning. If you successfully register u to 5 people directly under you, then if any of those people register anybody under them, you stand to also get benefits from them. In that registration, you get paid during the registration (referral commission) and you also get paid every time the trade of those partners drop (every 10 days). This is what we call the second generation earning.

5. Binary commissions: Chymall does not pay up to the third generation. But then, if someone in your second generation registers someone (third generation), you get one time binary commission for such registration. Thus you will not be paid every 10 days as in the others.

Now, let's go straight to the point and see how to make money from chymall without registering. At this point, you should no longer be afraid of the money you are to use in registration because if you play your games very well you will earn more than someone in VIP 5

Chymall deal on quantum products, which are not very popular in the Nigerian and African market. Most of the Chymall products are in high demand in Asia but not in Africa. Therefore, if you can create awareness for those products, market, distribute and sell them, you will earn high.

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS

At the point of registration, a partner is given a free product depending on the product he chooses. Also, every 10 days you are entitled to the product which you bought at the original retail price. These products are shipped to your location for you to go pick them up. But then, most of the chymall partners are majorly interested in their profit every 10 days and do not care much about the products. Many of those who have collected their own products do not know the benefits of such products and as such, they do nothing with them. Most of those products lie fallow in their bedrooms and parlor. Sadly, they fail to realize that it is money they are wasting.

If you can locate the chymall partners in your area and get those products from them at a cheaper rate, then you can go ahead and sell them at a higher rate and make your profit. You do not need to register to become a partner before you can sell these products.

Let me give some further and deeper illustrations here.

The quantum beauty spray sells for $50 on chymall. This product performs lots of functions that cannot be neglected.

But then, remember that anybody who buys this product has made his profit online even without having to sell the one piece he receives from chymall. With this, you can collect the product from the person at a cheap rate of even $20 and resell for $30 or more. It might appear as though the selling price is lesser than the cost price but the point is that the profit has already been made within the 10 days of purchase.

Therefore, any extra money will been seen as an addition to the partner which he will not want to miss. So the partner will be glad to sell off the product at giveaway prices instead of allowing it to waste in his house. Then, when you have collected the product, you can sell it for a higher amount. The $30 I wrote is just an example. You can sell the product far higher than that amount. The more of such products you sell, the more money you make.

Also note that the quantum beauty spray is a VIP 2 product. VIP 2 products are the cheapest. Therefore, the high you go, the more profit you make. You can do same for VIP 3 packages, VIP 4 packages, VIP 5 packages, VIP 6 packages and VIP 7 packages.

With this you will be making cool cash without registering. You will not need to wait for 10 days like partners wait in order to make your money. Here you will be making money every day as long as you are still in the business.

With this, you will find out that you may even earn more that a VIP 5 partner on chymall. For example, a VIP 5 partner earns $252 every 30 days (one month). But using the quantum beauty spray I used as example, If you can successfully sell one product every day, you will make about $300 every one month. Then check how much you will make if you sell products of higher packages.

So this is how to make money from chymall without registration.

Education / How To Study And Graduate With Excellent Grades by chikachuks1(m): 2:01pm On Aug 26, 2020
It is the dream of every undergraduate to graduate in flying colours. It will also be a thing of joy for parents to see their children graduate with an excellent result. It is believed that an excellent result is a step closer to your dream job.
Therefore, in the quest for excellence, you must understand that excellence has a prize attached to it. You don’t stumble upon excellence by mistake. If you must be excellent in the end, then there is a prize tag attached to it. There’s also no short cut to excellence.
In like manner, as a student who wants to graduate with excellent grades, this article is carefully written for you as a guide to achieve your goals. Carefully go through the points and apply them in your own life. In the end, an excellent result will come calling. Below are the steps you take to make an excellent result. You will also need to read my advice to every tough minded youth
1) Discipline: To finish well, discipline is the first step you must take on your pathway to an excellent grade. Life is not a game for the frivolous and mediocres. Such people do not get the good side of life. Life favours those who are disciplined and have a positive approach to it. As a student with the goal of graduating with excellent results, you must understand the role of discipline in your pursuit. You must understand that to get something good, there’s alot of things to forego. No one ascends the ladder of success just anyhow. To be disciplined means to have a good plan for yourself and to follow it. Many people have good laid down plans for themselves but have a zero execution policy.

There are lots of side attractions that you must let go off. A lot of things will come up but your approach to them is what matters. You will be faced with lots of fun, parties and lots more. Will you attend all of them? Folks from the opposite gender will always want your time. Will you always make such time available for them? Places will come begging for your visit. Will you visit all of them? These are decisions that you must intentionally make if success is the anticipated end point.
Therefore be disciplined on your ladder to the top. A little frivolity will have you crash landing.

2) Actionable Reading Timetable: Another point that is worthy of note is the fact that to be successful in the end, you must read. Yes you must read. Someone said, “Reading people are always knowing people”. Do you want to be knowledgeable? Then you must read. As a student, reading randomly is not advised. Thus, ensure you have an actionable and easy-to-follow reading timetable. It’s not about setting up a reading timetable that you cannot follow. It’s still not about setting up a reading timetable that you will only adhere to for just a month. In the end, you abandon it. Rather, success will entail that you follow a well organised reading timetable
A well organised reading timetable will help you understand how better to read. It will help you cover all your courses or subjects every week. A reading timetable will help you to have an organised reading schedule that involves all your subjects

The truth is that not all subjects requires the same level of attention and effort. There are some that demands more effort and input for success to be achieved in the end. There are some that require just little effort and success will be achieved in the end. This then means that the same level of input is not what is needed for them all. A well and properly organised reading timetable will help you with this

3) Punctuality to Lectures: Punctuality they say is the soul of business. As a student determined to graduate with excellent grades in school, lectures should be of top importance to you. If there is anything to joke with, it should not be your lectures. It is lectures that brought you to school so you must ensure that you pay undivided attention to it. Here, I am not only talking about attending lectures, I mean going early for your lectures. There’s a secret in going early for lectures. It will help you flow from the beginning to the end. With that you know the questions worth asking and the ones that are not.
If you do not go early to lectures, you tend to miss alot of vital information which were shared before your arrival. This may make you ask some unmeaningful questions which will end up drawing the class backwards
Even, some lecturers may even answer you in a very unpleasant manner. Therefore ensure you are as early as possible to all lectures. Make sure the lecturer doesn’t come to class before you. Also if you are in the class when a lecture is going on, you will easily understand the topic next time you are reading it. But if you don’t attend the classes, you will have difficulties in understanding the topic. Once again, treat every lecture as indespensibly important

4) Teach others what you know: No one is an island of knowledge and no matter how little you know, you can as well teach it to someone. One of my teachers in school years back said that the reason why he was good in his own course was because he has taught it over time. Do you that the more you teach people what you know, the more you know it more. As a student, in your own little corner, ensure you do not hoard the little knowledge you have. Even there are some things you may think that you know but in actual sense, you do not know them. It is only when you share your knowledge with someone that you can be corrected. Therefore be ready to teach people the little that you know at all times

5) Familiarity with lecturers: Ensure you register your identity and personality with your lecturers. This will go a long way in helping you in subsequent matters that may arise. For example, if your lecturer knows you as someone who is very intelligent and then you failed his course at the end of the semester, he will have to review your answer script
Also, when a lecturer likes you, he/she can go any length in defending your interest before other lecturers. For example, in the case whereby you fail another lecturer’s course, a lecturer who knows you quite well may go as far as following up on the course with the other lecturer to ensure that something good comes out for your favour.

6) Never stop learning: Learning they say never ends and as such, you must ensure that in your own life, learning never ends. There’s no time in which a person will have adequate knowledge that will be enough for him all the days of his life. Even in that your chosen career, ensure you are always given to learning. Never think that you have learnt alot or enough that will see you through

7) Eschew Pride: The Holy book says that pride goes before a fall. In your pursuit for success, you must ensure that you Eschew pride and cloth yourself with humility. Be humble at all times as much as possible. Never feel too big to do anything or meet anyone. There are times when you need to meet a much younger person for knowledge, do not hesitate to do so. Pride will make you think you know enough and as such no need for more knowledge

cool Shun Examination Malpractice: Today, our education system keeps rolling out trained illiterates who successfully wasted their stay in the higher institution. Examination malpractice has watered down our education system such that students even at the point of graduation has no value to create or add. If you must be successful in life, shun examination malpractice. Many people carry certificates they cannot defend just to claim that they are graduates. Many second class upper students cannot even define their course even after graduation. Yes they have the certificate but nothing good to it. Let your certificate be a product of your hard work. By so doing, you will more easily defend it to the last.

9) The God Factor: This should have been the very first point but I reserved it to this point so that I can use it to conclude this article. In whatsoever you do in life, never forget that God is key and should be given the right place at all times. Place Him as the number one of your life and your life will make a meaning.
To this point, here are few things you can do in order to have an excellent grade after school. Follow this part and your testimonial will be a strong source of motivation and encouragement to people. Perhaps I did not remember to add any, use the comment box to tell us what you feel we ignored

Education / 5 Things You Can Do After College by chikachuks1(m): 12:03pm On Jul 04, 2020
After college, many young boys and girls wile away a good quantity of their time which they could have use for some profitable ventures. This is a mistake so many have done and many of them are currently regretting this mistake and as such, I have decided to put this little article together, peradventure it might be beneficial to few people.

Let me start be saying that life is in stages and any time wasted cannot be regained at all. After secondary school, the next thing is to proceed to the university. But between the time of your exit from secondary school and the time you gain admission in the university, it could be as long as possible because there is no sure guarantee that you will gain admission immediately. Thus the best advice is to learn a very vital skill which might help you on the long run.

Using the Nigerian academic system for example, it is expected that WAEC come before NECO and then NECO should end latest June. After NECO, you wait for between 2 – 4 months for you result. In between this time, you are expected to have written your JAMB and Post UTME. Then waiting for admission. With the current academic pattern of our country, the admission lists comes out around September upward. But unfortunately, with our nation’s education pattern, nobody can guarantee that you will get admission that same year.

I have come across many people who say they spend more than 2 years at home before gaining admission. Some say they spent 3 years, others 4 years and some even spent more. I spent 1 year at home but my eldest brother spent 4 years before gaining admission. One of my greatest regret so far is that I never learnt any skill within this one year of idleness. I wish I had an adviser who advised me to learn something profitable. Probably, some of the financial challenges I had in the University might had been overcomed.

Therefore, looking at the mistake I made and the extent to which I have regretted it thus far, I will not want you to make such mistake as well. Do your best to engage in something profitable while you wait for admission into higher institution. You can also check out [url=]my advice to every tough minded youth[/url]. In my book titled “becoming a tough minded youth”, I treated most of what I am about to write and even more. This idea I am about to share with you is what I term WWW in my book which means Work While Waiting. So expect it soon.

Without wasting much of your time, I will go straight to the point by listing 5 things I recommend for every secondary school leaver. Though, I do not wish to limit this article to only secondary school leavers. In Nigeria, after the Junior WAEC, the student still waits for about 4 months before continuing to SSS1. So therefore, turn every waiting time to a working and learning time. At this point, here we go.

Learn a trade or craft: Learning a trade or craft is one thing I highly recommend because of the nature of our country. Our country has become a battling ground where only the strong can survive. If only the strong can survive, then what is the lot of the weak? The weak ones will keep on dying like grasses. Most times, we get so disappointed in life because of the people we depend so much on. At one important time or the other, they fail us and indeed, it is not funny at all. One of the ways out of this mess is to learn a trade or craft. This will bring money to your way when no one will. It will also make you intentionally independent. Looking at our society, there are so much opportunities available for you. Many people claim that they do not know what to do or they cannot see what suits them. Sadly, that us the excuse of a lazy person. Learn a craft that will be profitable to you on the long run. Do not learn the craft just to fulfill all righteousness or because I asked you to. By the way what and who guarantees that you will get a job with your certificate after the efforts you put into studies. Learn a craft and take it seriously. Some of the craft and trade you can learn, which I have seen and heard of some people who made much living from it even while in the campus are; tailoring, repairing phone, repairing generators, interior decoration, painting, driving, selling items (like, shoes, clothes, wrist watches) and lots more.

Get a computer skill: when I did my Industrial training in AlvanIkoku Federal College of Education in Owerri Imo state Nigeria back then in 2015, I was very happy with what I saw. I worked under the ICT section of the college and we organized a 3 months computer training for young people. To my surprise, 100% of our students were young boys and girl who just finished with their junior Certificate Examination and were all below 15 years. Within these 3 months, all of them were experts in the packages which they learnt. The packages they learnt include: Microsoft Word, powerpoint, excel, corel draw, publisher and appreciation. Really, you will be amazed with what a 12 year old girl will design for you after undergoing such a training. Therefore I highly recommend that at all cost, get a computer skill. If you have observed carefully, you will discover that we are in a digital world now and most of the high paying jobs require a great knowledge of computer. There are much computer programs available which has the ability of liberating you from poverty as long as you live on earth. There are many people who their major source of survival is graphic designing. Some it is website designing and so on. Therefore the computer skills I will recommend are, website designing, graphic designing, blogging, the computer skills earlier stated, database, networking and more. In a bid to acquire ICT skills, you can also try blogging. Here is why you need to own a blog as a young boy/girl

Become a private lesson tutor: Instead of wiling away your precious time, you can also start upon extra lesson classes or seek a job in the already existing ones. It has been tested and proven that the best way of learning is by teaching. Prepare students for WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, JAMB and other examination body. About 30% of students today enroll in one extra lesson class in a bid to prepare themselves for their forthcoming examination. Therefore, seize this opportunity and convert it to your advantage. Although you need a great deal of knowledge in that particular subject for you to be able to do it. Therefore for the sake of the knowledge, the next thing you do after college is …

Keep reading: As much as learning never ends, reading should not also end. Reading should be a day to day habit for every student. In the campus, you will find out that in some cases, most of those student who spent years before gaining admission tend to have dull brains compared to those who got admission immediately. Since you cannot guarantee that you will gain admission immediately, then you must keep reading so that your brain will not lie fallow.

Get a part time job: The fifth thing you can do is to get a part time job. One of the reasons why I do like attending some entrepreneurship seminars is because the teachers teaches s if everybody must become an entrepreneur. If everybody is an employer, then who will be the employees. If everybody owns a company or business, then who will be our staff. There are people that must just have to work for others. If they want to be on their own, they might not make it. Therefore, you can also seek for a part time job to do while waiting. But unfortunately, many people seek jobs after college just because they want to buy good clothes and expensive phones. But it is not supposed to be so. Get a job that will pay you and then save out of the salary you are been paid.

At this point, I have given you this little tips but I expect you to do much with it. There is no time for the idea and lazy ones. Prosperity does not accommodate the lazy people. Therefore get busy, get busy and keep getting busy. If you like this article, you can share it on Facebook and other platforms, appropriately referencing the source. Once again, anticipate my book titled “the tough minded youth”. When the book is ready, it will be advertised on this website, so do not forget to keep coming back.

Religion / 2 Powerful Steps To Overcome Failure by chikachuks1(m): 9:25am On May 22, 2020
Have you ever felt like some things are not meant for you? Or perhaps at some point in your life, you find yourself failing in your area of strengths?

Have you ever prepared so well for a task and at the end, you discovered that your best was not even good enough?

Don’t be mad at yourself, you’re not alone

No, You ain’t a failure!!!

Although you failed in doing that action, that doesn’t make you a failure.

Let me tell you something,

Nothing in life is worthwhile, unless you take risks, but then you have been told to always have something to fall back on, should your risk risked your life. But wait, do you really want to fall back on something or fall forward towards your goal?

What is the essence of plan B when your plan A can take you a step forward to achieving that goal?

Many times, we grumble when we fail. But let me ask you,

1. What would be your story when you finally succeed?

2. What would your track record be?

3. Would your success story be one which would motivate others to strive at the fall of failure?

Everything that happens to you is a lesson for others to learn from. Your messes are your messages if you do not give in to the dejection & depression failure brings.

Embrace failure as a step towards your success.

The journey to fulfilment is not an easy one. It is what makes you strong. Just like for a yam to be made into a pounded yam, it has to go through the pounding process, so also, you have to go through the phase where you undergo pounding, so that your end result would be smooth.

Have you ever being motivated by the bitter past of some influencers? Would you have been motivated if they didn’t have the similar occurrence happening to you now?

See, nothing that happened to you is a waste. Although it can become one if not properly managed.

Every failure, if managed well, and worked upon are success stories in the making.

How then, can you manage your failure?

Define your failure.

What exactly is your own definition of failure?

Is failure to you an opportunity to try something better, or an identity? It’s funny how most of us drift from ‘I didn’t get it this time”, to ‘I am a failure’.

Do you let your failures define you? Or you take them as an opportunity to try what didn’t work in a better way?

Let me tell you a story,

There was a man who failed in business at age 21; was defeated in a legislative race at age 22; failed again in business at 24; overcome the death of his fiancée at 26; had a nervous breakdown at 27; lost a congressional race at 34; lost a senatorial race at age 45; failed to become Vice President at age 47; lost a senatorial race at 49; and was elected as the President of the United States at the age of 52. This man was Abraham Lincoln. He refused to let his failures define him and fought against significant odds to achieve greatness
Steps_to_overcome_failure

Failure shouldn’t be something you tag yourself with, it should be a privilege to try again.

Let me tell you another brief story about the great Thomas Edison, the inventor of our light bulb.

Thomas Edison was reported to have failed 10,000 times while he was inventing the light bulb. He was quoted as saying, “I have found 10,000 ways something won’t work. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.”

The Wright brothers spent years working on failed aircraft prototypes and incorporating their learnings until they finally got it right: a plane that could get airborne and stay there.

What if he had concluded that he was a failure and gave up at the first attempt?

Many of us, in our obsession with our acclaimed ‘failures’, we lose track of who we are, and attach to ourselves an identity that reads, ‘I am a failure.’ We forget that Rome wasn’t built in a day. We tend to forget the place of building a track records, we turned our ‘yet to find the right way to go about this’ experience to ‘I feel like this is not for me’ situation, causing us to qualify ourselves with the, ‘I think it’s my fate’ cliche.

We’ve got to have a paradigm shift of what failure is to us.
Accept your failure, do not over brood on them and learn from your failure.

There is this former american football coach

Donald Francis Shula. He is regarded worldwide as the winningest coach in National Football League.

Coach Shula had a “24-hour rule,” a policy of looking forward instead of dwelling on the past. The coach allowed himself, his staff and his players 24 hours to celebrate a victory or brood over a defeat. During those 24 hours, Shula encouraged them to feel their emotions of success or failure as deeply as they could. The next day, it was time to put it behind them and focus their energy on preparing for their next challenge. His philosophy was that if you keep your failures and victories in perspective, you’ll do better in the long run.

Shula’s 24-hour rule is one we must all incorporate into our lives. Achieved your goal? Celebrate it for 24 hours, after which you get your ass back on track. Ain’t no time brooding over one achievement when there is a lot to achieve.

Failure? 24- hours is more than enough to brood over it; after which, get back to work.

Why waste so much time brooding on the past, suspending the actions of the present, and giving your future a postponement?

If you let a defeat get you down you’ll never get back into the ring. If you let a win blow up your ego, you’ll become arrogant and hubris, in the words of Jim Collins in “How the Mighty Fall” and “Why Some Companies Never Give In.”

He that hath a brain, let him understand what the spirit teacheth.

3) Home Delivery Services: With the lockdown, you can run a delivery service business for people. There are places with total lockdown while other places have partial lockdown. Yet in places with partial lockdown, many people are still afraid because no one knows who has this virus and who doesn’t, since it is not written on the face. A home delivery service business will go a long way in helping you make money this period. People need the basic needs and necessities for life yet, they are afraid of going out to make purchases of such needs. If you can render such a service and add your service fee to it, you will be turning in some bulk of money daily.

4) YouTube Videos: With the lockdown, movement has been restricted. The slogan this period is “Stay safe, Stay home”. But then how can you stay at home morning to night from Monday to Sunday. Boredom will become the order of the day if such a thing happens. With boredom, screens will be a better way of reducing boredom. Therefore doing you YouTube Videos will not be a bad idea either. This is because this is the only thing to ease boredom in this time. Whatever kind of video you do, provided you market and promote it well, you will turn in some chunks of money at the month’s end. Creativity drives people and arouses their interest. If you videos are creative, people will want to come back and view them over and over again. With the lockdown, you may not necessarily need to go to a studio or hire a camera man to help in your video making. With your smart phone that has quality camera and a good area of your room, you are good to go


5) Online Lectures: Though there’s a lockdown, yet many things has not been lockdown. There’s prohibition on gathering that involves people which will make them have contact with each other. Thus, many seminars are now organised online using the Zoom platform and other teleconferencing application and software. With zoom and other platforms, you can organise online lectures and educate people on various subject matter


6) Home Lesson: This is another offer for you this lockdown period. Schools are no longer in session and as such students will gradually begin to forget what they already knew. Becoming a private home teacher in your neighbourhood will not be a bad idea at all. Many parents will gladly accept your offer and employ you to help their children in maintaining and even improving in their knowledge. Those basic subject the kids offer in school, if you propose to teach them, you will hardly be rejected. We do not know how long the lockdown will last but then, as soon as it is over, many school will start their examination without wasting time. There may be only two weeks for preparation which is actually too short. So you proposal will most likely be accepted

7) Sewing: With the preventive measures to curb the spread of the corona virus pandemic (COVID 19), the demand for nose mask has increased. Thus therefore has created opportunity for tailors who have ventured into the production of nose mask. Many people have made chunks of money through the sewing of nose mask for people to wear. This period, some factories has been set up just for the sole purpose of producing this which has in turn created employment opportunities


cool Local Hand Sanitiser: Some of the rules to curb the spread of COVID 19 include; Keep social distance, Use nose mask, wash your hand, use hand sanitiser and so on. With the high demand for hand Sanitiser, the prize has alarmingly increased to the point that many people can no longer afford it. This is an opportunity for people to produce the hand Sanitiser locally. Though the locally made may not gain professional approval, yet it is very effective.


In conclusion, stay at home but don’t stay idle. Do not exhaust all you have in your account when you can still make more money. Choose any of these businesses and get involved. You’ll appreciate me in the end

Education / How To Identify A Genuine Scholarship by chikachuks1(m): 1:59pm On Mar 19, 2020
Today, as the need for scholarships rises, many people leverage on it and peoples ignorance to scam them by presenting fake scholarship offers to them and extorting money from them in turn. This article is focused on helping you identify genuine scholarships that are available. Why do you actually need this information?

1) You need this this information to stay safe: The first and most important reason why this article will be of great help to you is because we want you to stay safe. A website once innocently published a scholarship offer on their blog without verifying it validity. Upon applying, many comments were placed on the comment section of the post. They commenters complained about been asked to pay a certain amount of money. Probably, you might have also passed through that before. This is why this article is composed specially for you. You should stay safe in your quest for a scholarship. We do not want you to land yourself into problem in a bid to get a solution to your problems.

2) You need this information to be guided: Also we want you to be guided while applying for scholarships. This is a complete guide on what you need to know in order to identify fake and dubious scholarship offers.

3) You need this information because you cannot manipulate search engines: You need this information because you cannot manipulate search engines. For example, if you search for the following keywords on search engines; International Scholarship for Undergraduates, MSc scholarships for international students, Scholarships for developing countries, PhD scholarships for science students etc, different search results. A lot of search results will show. If you search for the same keyword on different search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo etc), you will get different results. Sometimes, most of the contents that will be given to you as output. These results are product of website that does their SEO very well. Thus, some of the scholarships you see here may have reached deadline long ago.

4) You need this information because many fake scholarship sites are on the internet: To every original product out there, thee are tonnes of fake and counterfeit too. Therefore we do not want you to fall into the wrong hands. That is why we took our time to outline this guide that will help you identify a genuine scholarship.
As we move on, here are some ways to identify a genuine and true scholarship.

1) Organisations’ reputation
Every scholarship should be published on the organisations’ website. This is the simplest and easiest way to ascertain if the scholarship is true or fake. If it is on the organisations’ website, the next thing is to check for the reputation of the organization. Every true and genuine organization treasures her integrity and reputation a lot. With the explosion of the internet, information are easily made accessible to people. Therefore, check for how reputable the organization is (most especially for the organizations you know nothing about).

2) Past record
The next way to identify a true scholarship is through their past record, except if this is the first time for the scholarship to be awarded. But if not, information on the past record of the scheme should be available. Verify how the last one was conducted, if it was not dubious, if people actually won etc.

3) Attestation and recommendation
Another way of knowing if a scholarship is genuine is through the attestation and recommendation from past beneficiaries. At least, we know that no right thinking person will speak ill of what he/she has benefited from. If you can get in touch with some of the people who have benefited from the scheme in past year, it will be nice.
Although this process is for those organisations that you cannot guarantee their reputation. But let me caution my readers at this junction to make sure that you do not believe everything you see on the media. If a fake organization wants to dupe people, they could pay some people (whom you do not know) to come online and say lots of good things about them, even when those things are not true. Therefore one on one interaction (most especially with the people you know) will be better.

4) Clear information
In every genuine scholarship, there is no information to be hidden. Every information is clearly spelt out. Some might say that there are hidden secrets to win a particular scholarship, therefore you should do this or that to get the secret. Nothing like that exists. Every organization provides clear information on their scholarship scheme.

5) No guarantee
Since the scholarship is opened to everyone, it therefore means that everyone has equal chances to either win or lose the scholarship. Nobody will ever assure you that you will win.

6) It has a requirement
Every scholarship has requirements. Therefore check for the requirements before applying. No scholarship is opened to everybody, no matter how rich the sponsors might be. As such the requirements are clearly spelt out.

7) Application Deadline
Before I make any scholarship post on this blog, I scroll down to the section that talks about the deadline. If the deadline has elapsed, no need publishing such an information in a bid to have visitors. In like manner, if you want to identify a genuine scholarship, ensure you check the deadline to know how long the portal will be opened for application. No scholarship runs without a deadline.

Give it a trial, if you gain the scholarship, you will not regret it. Although you must be careful in seeking and searching for scholarship information because there are lots of dubious guys out there. These guys use this scheme to dupe some innocent applicants and collect their money and you will never see them or trace them and worst of it all is that there is nothing you can do. They print fake application forms and sell it for an amount. Chances are that you might not see them again or even if you see them again, they keep formulating fake information. By so doing, you stand the risk of losing the money you should have used in something better. Be very careful my friend not to fall into the wrong hands.
