Mbkite: I suggest dey even include Further Maths. #Persönal opinion

WAEC has started including further Maths like Cordinate geometry, matrices, differenciation and integration and its applications in SSCE syllables. Get any latest New General Mathematics and confirm this.

dhammyg: I DISAGREE.THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO ENHANCE DEEP REASONING MATHS &LITERATURE ARE ONE OF THOSE TWO.AND SINCE ARTS STUDENTS ARE ALREADY DOING LITERATURE WE SHOULDN'T BE BURDENED WITH MATHS

IF U DOUBT WHAT AM SAYING ABOUT LITERATURE GO AND STUDY LITERATURE 4 A WHILE

My dear, believe me, I did Literature in Secondary school as a science student, agreed it was sorta hard and undeniably ambiguous to an extent, but when I read deeply into it, I got the hang of it and I actually started enjoying it. But those Mathematical "word problems" eeeeh, I had to think and think and even nearly swallowed my pen before I started getting the touch of reasoning towards offsetting them...so believe me, I know where you are coming from, but let's not be deceived, Maths is still the best at logical reasoning!!!

Romance › Re: Why Nigerian Girls Should NOT Be Obsessed With Men's Height? by davestead(m): 10:22am On Sep 21, 2014

blackorpheus: Oya, Make una calm down.

The argument is funny.

I am a short dude. A real short black dude.

But, that doesn't move me a bit.

I am as confident as an erect penis. A black one, actually.

The girls i've been with always tell me that they've been drawn by intelligence and vision they see.. Lol

My point is, there is nothing wrong if a girl (note: I said girl) says she wants a tall dude.
Too much television has implanted the image of having a tall brother tower over you.

Okay. For protection. He is more confident. Bla. Bla. Bla.

And, Most short guys suffer from Napoleon syndrome. It is a mental situation where a short guy want big things to compensate his disadvantage: Big cars, big houses, big women.. And they GET THEM.
A short guy's ambition shouldnt be toyed with.

Not all girls like tall guys.
Some girls want to hold faces in thier hands. They don't want to strain to kiss.
Girls want security. But, the short guy has got it.

Moreover, by the time you clock 45, you'll realize that height is just a plus. Ask any older lady, they'll tell you that their choice of man is based first on character, looks even comes last.

I remember at an event. It was all merry and gay. Until, Aki walked in. Every lady kept thier attention on him, wanting to be with him.

Is Messi tall? Tom Cruise? Kevin Hart? I laff you. These guys get any woman they want!

I remember when I used to bleep
some 2go girls. Oboy, they never knew my height until we met.
Too late. They've fallen for the charisma.

Hey, short guy, step up your game. Don't look at this bullsh*t. Be successful. Don't chase. Be chased.
---
You call me a short guy. Well, Do you know tall i become when i stand on my wallet? Ode.

Brother, this is the most sensible post I've seen all day part from the OP's. Huge respect for u bro! Happy Sunday to u all....#peace

moreeni: Let me not sugar coat it for you at all...

You are the rock, the refuge, the security, the promise of a good life and marriage, the safety nest, the all needed in a good man for the future. She is a very wise girl! Who in her right sense would pass off a guy like you? ...but you are not her adventure, her love, her wanted companion and last bus-stop. She would probably spend the rest of her life with you so long as any other Fancy does not ask her for a long walk though several short walks are guaranteed.

Oko Iyawo, you will always be her bronze medal...

Gbam! Well said in a nut shell. Any girl that you showered so much love and even forgave her shortcomings and yet she still deserts @ times to pursue other means has already concluded that you are behind in her rankings..

As we continue to keep this thread lively, let us also discuss things relevant to our aims and ambition...

TOP TEN SECRETS OF 1ST CLASS STUDENTS

Here are the top ten most powerful secrets that are known by only few students who emerge with First class, get this secrets now and join this team of outstanding scholars.

1. NATURAL BRILLIANCE:
There is a minimum level of natural brilliance that is required before a student can think of First Class. I do not intend to put limit to one’s capabilities, for I believe like most people that impossible is nothing. However, realistically speaking, that is an exception to the rule. Most First Class students have a track record from lower levels of education. That is the first foundation.

2. THE POWER OF DREAM:
Most first class students dream. I do not mean metaphysical dream, I mean the Luther King definition – vision, forward- looking, even though awake. In secondary school I had a friend who once looked up and said, ‘the last time someone made an aggregate 6 (i.e minimum of 6 A1 ’s in SSCE) in this school was 12 years ago, I want to be the next’. He made it. Same boy told me he wanted to ‘enter the back of JAMB brochure’, meaning he wanted to be among the top 3 JAMB students in Nigeria (JAMB print at the back of the brochure for a year the names of the best 3 candidates in the prior year’s examinations). He didn’t make it, but he scored 296. When this friend of mine entered Ife, he went to his faculty’s board, where names of best students are engraved every year, looked up and said, ‘when I leave this school after five years I want my name written on this board’. He worked for it. He didn’t make it. But he not only came out with a CGPA north of 4.7 (of the possible 5.0) but he also emerged as one of his faculty’s best. After that, he told someone that he wanted to have his PhD without doing Master’s degree. The person told him it was hardly possibly, and counted on his fingertips the number of Nigerians that performed that feat. My friend proved our doubter wrong. He got the PhD at age 29, skipping Master’s. That is the power of dream.

3. COMPETITION:
What most people don’t know is that there is usually a subtle competition among best students in classes. The competition is not necessarily unhealthy. They may be –and in fact usually are – friends, but they compete. In my undergraduate days, story is told of a guy that, at the beginning of every semester, went to ask what X, the best student in the class immediately preceding his, scored in each course and he would tell those cared to listen to him that he would break the record and score higher than him. He did, most times. Most First Class students compete. Each wants to be the highest scorer in each subject. That is why it is always good to go to a competitive institution, rather than enjoy local championship status without stiff competition.

4. CALCULATION:
When you see some students reading a purely theoretical course and having calculator by the side, don ’t think they are insane or doing ‘over-syllabus’. No they are just running the permutations – if I score B in this course, what will my CGPA be? What is the worst case scenario? What is the best case scenario? How many A’s do I need to make X-CGPA? etc. These are calculations that go on in their heads. Some don’t even compute their GP’s at the end of a semester, they have the template in their heads already, having done the permutations over and over again even before writing the examinations, and they just insert the course scores into their mental template.

5. OPTIMISTIC MENTALITY:
Some students die many times before their academic death. How can a student gain admission into a school and the first thing he hears is, you can never make a First Class, they wont give you. Well, I don’t believe this. This is what kills many students. How can you go to battle with a defeatist mentality and expect to win? Many First Class students defy these “messengers of doom” and pursue their target optimistically. I finished from the Obafemi Awolowo University and this is one thing I must commend students of the school for. As a Jambite, what you hear are stories of one Deji Akere that shattered school records, or one Hammed pootu that effortlessly broke any record breakable. You even hear of stories of students that had graduated since the 1970s. These are stories that motivate you, not some tale by moonlight about a sadist lecturer denying you First class. This is another very vital feature of First Class students. They don’t believe rooster and bull stories.

6. ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT:
Academic environment also helps. In a school where you spend most of your time queuing for water or transport or forced to read with candle, chances of academic success are very low. This is why Nigerian students do well abroad where they have all the facilities and learning is conducive. This is also why schools like OAU, UI and to some extent, Unilag, with strong students body that fight for students welfare like good transport system, power on campus, good water system etc, produce more First Class students. Same for private schools, where there is little or no worry about welfare.

7. COURSE OF STUDY:
Course of study is another very important factor. It is better to choose a course you are interested in, not one you are forced to do. Some otherwise brilliant students don ’t perform up to potential because they are not interested in what they are studying in the university.

8. THE EARLY YEARS ARE CRITICAL:
Some students get taken away by the euphoria of being a university student and spend their first year faffing around. Still, in some schools, year 1 performance is not aggregated as part of the overall grade. For most students, after performing woefully in their first two years, they now grab straw to salvage the situation in the later years. Needless to say, it is most times a futile exercise. But there are cases of great come-backs. The best two students in my class during my undergraduate days were not among top 15 in class after our first semester year 1. They were not even in First Class then. But they came back to overtake all of us early flyers. Well, that means there is still hope if you didn’t do too well after your year 1. But after year 2, the bridge may have fallen.

9. KNOW THYSELF:
The problem with many student is they try to ‘copy-cat’. While it is good to learn from the method of another high performer, it is important to know how to adapt it. Some students don’t need to read for more than 3 hours a day before they pass, indeed do excellently well and top the class. Some must read for at least 7 hours a day. I know First Class students that watched football and participated actively in campus religious activities. Some even get involved in departmental politics. It is about knowing oneself. But for most First Class students I know, reading the notes while still hot, and not waiting till they accumulate, is a common denominator.

10. …AND KNOW THY TEACHER TOO AND KNOW GOD:
Knowing how to approach a question in an examination is an art itself. How do you organize your answers? It goes beyond just picking the answer script and writing down what you think is the answer. Know what the lecturer wants. Does he want ‘lengthy story’? Or he wants it ‘short and snappy’? You may have a clue into this through your seniors who had taken the course earlier.

First class students study not only the course, but the course-taker.Inspired by this post? Then thank the writer and ask questions as well.

Sports › Nigerian Weightlifter Chika Amalaha Stripped Of Commonwealth Medal by davestead(op): 11:04pm On Aug 01, 2014

Teenage Nigerian weightlifter Chika Amalaha has been stripped of her Commonwealth Games gold medal a week after failing a drugs test in Glasgow.

It was confirmed on Friday morning that the B sample analysis, requested by 16-year-old Amalaha, had returned another positive result and that made it inevitable she would lose her title.

At an afternoon hearing of the Commonwealth Games Federation court, it was confirmed Amalaha would be disqualified, a CGF spokeswoman confirmed to Press Association Sport.
The spokeswoman, promising a full statement from the CGF later, said: 'It is correct that she has been stripped of the gold medal.'

Amalaha went through doping control after her victory in the 52kg class at the Clyde Auditorium on July 25, and the results showed traces of diuretics and maskings agents.

CGF chief executive Mike Hooper said earlier on Friday: 'I can report that the analysis on the Nigerian weightlifting Chika Amalaha's B sample has been completed, and this has confirmed the analysis and finding of the A result.'

The CGF disciplinary hearing was chaired by the federation's president, Malaysian Prince Imran.

Their decision brings a sorry saga to its natural conclusion, with Amalaha having provided an early feel-good story before the full context of her achievement was revealed.

She had set Games records in her weight category in both the snatch and overall elements, and said afterwards: 'I'm absolutely delighted. I wasn't coming here to go for gold, I just wanted to break my own record. I'm so happy that I'm going home with gold in my first Commonwealth Games.'

Amalaha spoke of the 'pain and dedication that got me here', yet Tuesday saw the announcement of her failed drugs test.

World Anti-Doping Agency president Sir Craig Reedie expressed his shock on Tuesday that someone so young should have failed a doping test, saying: 'I am very disappointed that somebody as young as that appears to have committed an offence at a multi-sport event like the Commonwealth Games.'

This is quite a pity. I was even so happy for her. Another bad news for Nigeria

Christianity Etc › Re: Confessing Sins To A Priest , Right Or Wrong ? by davestead(m): 10:57am On Jun 30, 2012

joe4christ: This is one reason why i prefer preaching tpo a muslim than to a catholic, cos the power of desception on this catholic of a religion is spiritually huge than the entire forces of the whole world.
This people are spiritually blind, prefering to stick to their doctrine of human origin rather than believing the word of God which is plain for anyone with an open mind who want to learn of God's ways, the word of God is not hidden in meaning so you catholics have no escuss whatsoever of believing doctrines of men which has no biblical back ups which the word of God foretold of this happening thousands of years before now - 1Timothy 4:1

1 Now the Holy Spirit tells us [size=15pt] clearly [/size] that in the last
times some will turn away from the true faith; they will
follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from
demons. 2 These people are hypocrites and liars, and
their consciences are dead. a
3 They will say it is wrong to be married and wrong
to eat certain foods. But God created those foods to be
eaten with thanks by faithful people who know the truth.

Do you know that I learnt about the power of deception today? Why? Cos of what you just said, that's deception of the highest order. You try so vividly by qualifying Catholics with a phrase, SPIRITUALLY BLIND and that they have no conscience, now tell me, have you ever asked yourself if you have a conscience? Have you ever asked yourself that upon all the SHOW OFF Christianity that the lots of you display, that are you really a Christian that despicts the greatest LAW of christianity, which is LOVE and do you follow in the footsteps of Christ ? If you can answer all these, then you'll know what deception truely means and you'll come to realise that before you criticise and judge others, you'll have to look at your own SELF, before you judge other Churches as not being in the true Faith and DEMONIC as well you'll have to look deep into the foundation of your own church and know whether it's of the TRUE FAITH and whether it's not DEMONIC or not. But no, you wouldn't do that, why? Cos if you cant convince someone who is STRONG in his/her FAITH to stray and join you blindly then you'll dub it DECEPTIVENESS. My dear, am not speaking in favour of anyone here, but before you talk, check out the real meaning of DECEPTION, and do me a favour, when next you write, include the name of your church, at least it helps to know where your critics come from. Thanks and God bless.

mollie12: I've just been reading comments and I'm so weak.

So Catholics actually open and read their bibles Wow. How someone can see how antichrist and satanic their religious system is and still remain in it is a HUGE mystery for me.

Catholics, just face up to the facts - a lot of your doctrines are highly unbiblical. And stop trying to point out specks in other denominations - every Christian with his/her brain rightly screwed on knows the churchworld is in a big mess. But your denomination will have to take the greatest blame because its been around the longest.

For those smirking about the bible being in the charge of the RCC and other christians having to feed on their dirt, well I'll let you know God is powerful enough to keep His Word pure and preserved- even in the care of corrupt persons. Before Christ came, the Israelites, and the books of the Old Testament by extension, were captured and put under the control of Babylonians, Assyrians (I think) and Grecians. Yet when Jesus Christ came he freely made reference to these texts, giving us a clear sign that they were still intact.

Catholics, my heart bleeds for you all! I was part of that system for a short period of time, but even as a child (which I was then) a lot of things didn't add up scripturally for me and I left. Its not about who's wrong or right - practically every denomination has its own shred of CRAZY, but having it SO entrenched and going as far as to use eternity to back it up (saying the rest of us are LOST) is just too much! And this is not exonerating the other churches. Especially Pentecostals - a lot of you guys need Jesus - the real one! Please lay off all the foolishness masquerading as spirituality in your congregations.

Please, just please, make up your mind to love God - love Him more than anything else - and let Him lead you in His truth. Human understanding will so fail you - you can whip up all the historical texts you want to prove that you guys are the real deal (and you'll probably have an edge there since the system is so old) but if God says its not of Him, it simply isn't. And its best to make that discovery on this side of eternity. God bless.

You actually started making up excuses as to why you left your faith by calling the CATHOLIC church satanic and antichrist. Who gave you the right to judge? You must be a hypocrite. Most of the things you mentioned here at the initial state didn't make sense at all. Why? Because you were trying to give excuse as to why you are no longer a catholic. You left because you couldn't defend your faith, there is no excuse about that and not because of all the mumbo jumbo you mentioned earlier. People should not speak of what of they dont know about. Even the lots of you that quote the Catholic Catchism doesn't understand it one bit yet they go on adding to their ignorance. Please dont pity me cos I know what am doing and am worshipping my God the way it seems right to me, if you dont agree, then it's your loss not mine.

4evergod3: And what to you is the right thing. Isnt the right thing telling the truth? isnt the right thing saving your brother or sister who is lost? isnt the right thing opening the eyes of the blind [both physical and spiritual]? Please i pray you kindly tell me what is your idea of "do the right thing" Or perhaps your idea of doing the right thing is for everyone to do what he or she feels is right and not what God says is right.

And who told you that WE are lost and needed to be saved? You better remove the plank in your eyes before looking for a speck in another person's eyes. One thing is clear, once the protestants starts to criticize other churches and they dont start from the catholic church, then they've not started. Why not leave us alone and worship your God in your own way? Hypocrites.
