Not really difficult. I started drawing Map of Africa and identifying countries with certain natural resources in S.S. 2....... Which is quite related to part IV

Less than a month in to his tenure, he will surely be glad to stop to pass the message that his predecessor failed, but three years down the line if a similar situation presents itself , he will simply zoom off. I wont be surprised if the situation of this particular school stays the same.

Nigerian commissions in other countries can also be proactive and apply this in their mode of operation if applicable

I hope at least 90% of the roads are completed in the next 4 yrs. Roughly 800billion in 4 yrs translates to 200 billion naira per year. There might be a need to increase the yearly allocation and improved monitoring to get the jobs done. Most of the roads listed are work in progress to the best of my knowledge.

Rashidat Ajibade ought to be a sub player at the least, why she was benched all through the tourney can only be explained by the coach. she was the Star player for u17 and u20.

femi4:
Cameroon won, oya go and put Argentina there

You didn't do probability in school

you are deficient in logical reasoning. There is no point bantering with you.

femi4:
You are not use to betting....the other game is producing a winner

it is not about betting. You dont make such analysis and remove a team because you FEEL something will not happen. It is not grounded on logics.

femi4:
Remove Argentina from the list, their 2pts wont be enough. We ll have at least a winner in today's two key games.

Cameroon vs new Zealand and Thailand vs Chile

possibilities are not based on assumptions. My analysis is perfectly in line based on possibilities not feelings

Bamz:
Isn't 'fair play' a tiebreaker? Cameroon would still have a poor goal difference even if they win by a goal, same goes for Chile.

Not true. they currently have 1 goal scored and conceded 4. if they win by 1-0 , they will be on 2 goals scored and 4 goals conceded the same as Nigeria. If it comes down to fair play I dont think Nigeria has a better fair play than Cameroon at the moment , we have a red card, and about 7 yellow cards. If Cameroon wins by 2-1, it automatically will have more goals scored than Nigeria with same goal difference.

Chile winning with any kind of 3 goal margin will also be better placed than Nigeria.

At the moment, 6 teams still have a chance for the last two best loser spots(Nigeria, Argentina, Cameroon, Newzealand, Chile and Thailand)

Bamz:
The key match was Scotland v Argentina.

Lol, I think we are through. Cameroon v Nzl is likely to be a high-scoring draw like we witnessed tonight or a slender goal margin if at all a victor emerges.

Can Chile beat a porous Thailand? It's likely, and that could make them the 4th best 3rd team to go through.

Never say Never. Even Thailand can still qualify as things stand. Should Cameroon win 1-0, we will both have same points and goal difference and fair play will be the decider, assuming Chile beats thailand by a three goals margin.

A 2-1 win by Cameroon over NZL and 3goals margin win by Chile means Cameroon and Chile goes through.

It is not over yet...... The draw moves us an inch closer to qualification. Chile and thailand. & Cameroon and Newzealand are the two matches to watch out for

wyzoe:
Hey bro, can you guide me?

I'm landing London Ontario in August.

Can you give me a guide on things to look out for, particularly by way of starter jobs, savings, investments?
I plan to take a digital marketing course and upgrade while working but I need a little guidance.

PS: accommodation is sorted out already.

I just need to know the things to look out for and things to avoid. In other words, what did you wish you knew when you just started.


Modified (for clarity in response): I'm a citizen by birth.

For clarity in response, I will simply hope the "elders" as quoted provide a deeper insight than I can ever give.

Rubbish analysis ! Scotland must not beat Argentina.A draw is the only favourable result. And the other 2 results. Thailand must beat chile or lose by not more than 2 goals margin. and finally New Zealand must win by 1-0, (no other type of win is good, not even 2-1) or at worst play a draw game.

Lets hope chile and thailand ends with less than. 3 goals goal margin. And possibly argentina and scotland ends in a draw. Another hope is cameroon vs newzealand. Cameroon win with a goal margin or draw. Those are the three matches that will determine our destiny in the tournament. At least two out of the three possibilities will guarantee a place in the second round

helinues:
FT Nigeria 0 - 1 France

Upon all their ojoro, upon one woman down they couldn't score more than 1

We played with France, referee, Var and commentator.

Worst commentator ever that dont know difference between shot on target and off target

After confirming Korea has lost she still went ahead to say it is not clear yet for Nigeria to qualify for the second round.

4 best 3rd place will qualify for the second round. South Africa and Korea are already out. What is not clear yet there??

south korea and south Africa are 4th placed team. Our threats are those that will be third placed after 3 matches

naijaman3:
The statement in bold is not always true. If you plan your life properly you do not need to work more than 40hrs in a week to live decent and debt free life. With the correct residency status, people may have to work a lot of hours in a minimum wage job when they just arrive. With proper planning, they can eventually get a job in their profession and work only 40hrs a week. If you read the Op (@atutupoyoyo2211) post from start, you will see that this is what he is planning to do. He does not plan to stay in this kind of job for the rest if his life. Sadly, this type of opportunity is not available in Nigeria.

I have been trying to avoid talking about my own experience regarding @atutupoyoyo2211 approach because I am trying to protect my identity and also because if some people find it difficult to believe @atutupoyoyo2211 whose situation is very straight forward, how would they believe me. Without revealing too much about myself, I will at this point say a little to show what is possible with proper planning and prudent spending:

1. I came to Canada in 2001 with permanent residency visa (landed immigrant visa is what we called it then)
2. I worked in minimum wage job for one year at the same time trying to get my professional certification and register in my profession.
3. For the one year I was doing the minimum wage job, I was living and saving as I explained on page 11 here: https://www.nairaland.com/4857306/monthly-savings-canada/10#73854976
4. By early 2003, I got a job in my profession and started working only 40 hour a week because my salary back in 2003 was already 4 times what I was making while working minimum wage.
5. Two years later, in 2005 I bought my house with 20% down-payment. The down-payment was from all my savings from working minimum wage and 2 years of working in my profession.
6. I continued to live modestly and investing in the stock market (not just savings). This way I was able to fully pay my mortgage in 2015 which is 10 years after buying my house compared to others who spend recklessly and take between 25 to 30 years to pay off their mortgage.
7. Without being boastful, I can tell you that today (2018) I am a Millionaire in Dollars (in cash, stocks and other investments), my wife and I drive luxury SUV’s, we go on vacation with our kids twice a year (one trip within North America during the spring break in March/April and the second trip to anyone of either Europe or Asia or Nigeria when the kids are on summer vacation in July and August).
8. I have a lovely and supportive wife and amazing 3 kids that are making me proud and thankful to God daily.
9. All of the above do not include my wife’s savings and investment as she also works in her own profession.
10. I do not have any type of debt (no mortgage debt, no car debt, no credit card debt). I pay my credit card in full every month.

If the above is not fulfilling and living my Canadian dream, what else is it.

@atutupoyoyo2211: I hope you can learn one or two things from my write up above. Please continue doing your thing and do not be discouraged. I can see success in you. Please do not disappoint me.

Important: Please note that the above is applicable only if your status in Canada is legal (i.e. you have permanent residency or you are a citizen). Please do not plan to come to Canada with just a visitor visa and think you can easily make it like we are trying to explain here. As far as I am concerned planning to come here and make it on visitor visa is a suicide mission. You may end up making it but the chance is very slim and I do not encourage such move.

Quite encouraging, I sincerely hope to surpass this in my pursuit of happiness. Your story gave me an inner strength much needed. I took my first step investing in the stock market yesterday. I am almost 2 yrs old as a PR in Canada

Even breakdown of the results from the server is ridiculously unbelievable to the proponents of the "server result".


millions of South Eastern votes that can clearly not be substantiated. To the best of my knowledge, that server votes breakdown was written in someones reading room or bedroom.

u said on FIFA website... I will check it up i wish to watch that USA highlight

ok, that is the link

What of the defenders who did their jobs, stopping South Koreans from scoring before Oshoala scored. Remember if we had conceeded, her goal would have worth nothing.

they did a good job. No matter how much you defend, you will always need to score to win games.... The last time we won a game in the world cup was 2011.... 1-0......

ecclize:
wow...
That is nice... Am surprise one could followed female football with such kin interest... I only watch the most important ones

i do... Within 30 minutes, you can watch the highlights with the goals of close to 15 games. Most of the highlights are 2-3 mins

festacman:
How can a player who 'was sleeping' for most match while others defended and attacked be awarded "player of the match' for scoring just one goal when she is expected score many? Somebody who understands the rationale should please help me with an answer.

she did her job as a striker..... She is not a defender..... Defending is her secondary role. We had like 33% ball possession and most of that ball possession was within our half.... There were very little moments we had the ball in the opponents 18...... She missed a very good chance, but she scored a much more difficult one.... The koreans had twice as much of ball possession, and almost twice as much of our connected passes....yet they lost...... Goal is everything. As to whether she deserves the man of the match award, it might be debatable..... But heyy, you will always have to give kudos to the one who scored , the only goal we actually scored. It wasnt an ordinary goal also. The other was an own goal.

ecclize:
na all the matches u dey watch... For u to rank her goal the best so far?

fifa website has video highlights of games played so far. So i have seen most of the goals

Her goal was really good, and it takes a great footballer to score such. Outrunning the Korean defender, able to dribble the keeper with movement and getting the much needed touch to direct the ball in to the net will rank the goal as one of the best scored so far in the tourney

ornicus:
Keep throwing out desperate spin.na only the you d and dumb wey go swallow am

I sincerely doubt the story. I don't think it is EFCC's responsibility to verity sureties information, that should be the court's responsibility. EFCC is the plaintiff in this case.

As long as OBJ keeps complaining, good signs that he feels his little accomplishment is over run....

femi4:
Exactly, seems the coach is getting to know his starting 11

Mindset is king..... The first choice keeper and todays keeper , we can easily see the difference.

SPOILT9JAOLOSHO:
So no rest.. even abroad their is break in every term

What are students doing weekends?

dejisilva:
Oshoala try for that goal. From that angle, Lukaku, Morata no go score

Form is temporary, Class is permanent. She is getting less of the ball, and that weakens most strikers. The pass from Okeke was quite great. I knew the Okeke girl was not a bench material when she came in as a sub in the first world cup match.

The moment we scored the second goal, we were able to shake off a bit of the weak mentality that plaques the female senior team at the world cup stage. At 1 nil up. we were playing like a ridiculous lucky bastard team that can not win anyone. I want to believe there are psychologists in the team, and they should let every member of the team know that FIFA ranking is overrated. With a weak mentality you will struggle at the third, and barely string quality passes together, the mind will be simply conditioned to ward off danger and "keep head above waters", a recipe for failure

I think this is a losers match for the group. I also doubt we will make it out of the group as best loser. I think we lost that chance the moment we lost by as much as 3 goals. Beyond the quality of players, the team suffer from a weak mentality against international opponents from other continents... I think the psychologists have a lot of work to do when they are playing world cup.

The outlook of an average Nigerian is that the grass is greener ALWAYS on the other side. Which is quite far from the truth.
On comparism with many other African countries. The average Nigerian is way quicker to denigrate Nigeria . We are far worthy than we tend to give credit for.

Median age does not imply life expectancy. It simply means half of the population are below the specified age.
