NYSC › Re: Kebbi Chronicles: The Diary Of A Batch B Kebbi Coffa by Dottune(op): 6:08pm On Dec 05, 2019*

The road leading to Dakingari was a smoothly tarred road, free of potholes or gallops. I enjoyed how the tyres of the vehicle rotated on the road, you could almost feel its excitement with how fast the vehicle moved.
The driver informed us it was going to take less than two hours to get to Dakingari. Everyone in the bus, like me, exclaimed, how can Dakingari still be less than two hours away? We’ve spent over 12 hours on the road. The driver must be making jokes or he probably doesn’t know what he is saying, I thought to myself or how else would he tell us, it would take us almost the same amount of time it would to journey from Lagos to Ibadan. However, from the little experience we had gained traveling in the North, it was better not to argue.

We were silent through this final journey, now enjoying the cool breeze, or maybe we didn’t care about the cold because we were close to Dakingari? The latter seems more reasonable.

I was now seated beside a light skinned lady, mildly chubby or what you'd call "thick". She wore a little frown on her face, I concluded that this must have been because we weren’t really the most welcoming hosts, after she joined us from one of the other buses. I wasn’t bothered about her countenance, arriving at camp occupied most of my thoughts.

True to the driver's word, we got to Dakingari in less than two hours. A big signboard erected along the road right in front of the camp, read “Welcome to NYSC Permmanent Camp, Dakingari, Kebbi State". I was half expecting power supply at the camp, but we were welcomed by the dark ambiance engulfing the camp. The only sources of light aside from the beaming headlights and the flickering inner light of the vehicle, were the flashlights at the Camp’s security post, located at the green colored Gate. You could make out the dark shapes of the men manning the security post in the dark, their laughter and voices traveling through the cold wind.

The driver matched on the brake, our bus had made its final stop at Dakingari. We had arrived at our destination, you could feel the excitement in the air, despite how fatigued the journey we were from the journey, we couldn’t wait to get down from the vehicle. One of the guys who sat beside the vehicle’s door opened the metal door at first try, he stepped out and everyone followed suit.
While this was going on, the driver was busy with the ropes that held the boot against the weight of our luggage. The park boys did a great job, there were no incidents with our luggage during the course of the journey.
Once the driver was done we moved to pick our bags and baggage, my box, which was originally army green wore a new colour, it was now a weird mixture of brownish orange and green, no thanks to the dusts it had accumulated during the journey. Not bothered about its new state, I pulled the dusty box from the bottom of the back seat, dropped it on the gravel filled road leading to the gate, toggled its extendable handle and dragged it along with me, it made the familiar "grrrrrrrrrrrr" when you rolled its' little wheels on the ground.

Michael was still sorting his own luggage, I called back for him to hurry, I was approaching the gate already, along with Muyiwa, Gomez, Debby and Ayomide.
“Michael has always been an unserious boy”, I thought to myself.

At the gate, we were welcomed by members of the Nigerian Police Force, the dark figures I had seen while looking through the window of the bus (which was now getting ready to journey back to the park), were grown men, they had stopped laughing, it was now serious business. They were stationed at the entrance of the gate to screen prospective corp members for any foreign or harmful object and to also ensure we had all the necessary documentation before we could gain access to the camp:
- School ID Card
- A copy of Notification of Result/University Certificate.
- And a copy of the call up letter, showing that you were deployed to Dakingari.

NYSC › Re: Kebbi Chronicles: The Diary Of A Batch B Kebbi Coffa by Dottune(op): 5:37pm On Dec 04, 2019*

I was jolted away from my thoughts when our bus arrived at a road riddled with potholes, one of the buses we had overtook earlier during the course of our journey, was now right behind us, along with three other buses. The strangest but yet exciting thing happened, the buses started racing, it was like the typical scene from a Fast & Furious movie scene, only that this was made in Kebbi. One of the buses zoomed past us, and then another, which kind of spooked our driver, because then he increased the speed of his vehicle, not minding the many gallops we were entering into. As much as I enjoyed this new race that I wanted us to “win”, consistently entering potholes and hitting my head against the side of the bus wasn’t as pleasing.

The bus drivers kept outwitting one other, the race was to be won by the driver who knew the road better and could predict where the potholes were located. Our bus regained its rightful position briefly, before another bus overtook, almost ramming into our vehicle. “Oh it is on” I thought to myself, there was no way my driver was going to be pleased with that sort of dirty racing, it wasn’t five seconds later before another bus overtook us, I gave up and had my mind back on getting Dakingarri. "When we go reach that place sef?" I thought.

Twenty minutes into the race, a market up lit up by yellow and white bulbs was up ahead. You could see people chatting, sitting, standing idly, traders selling and negotiating prices with their customers, hawkers rushing towards buses to sell their goods to the passengers, while some simply enjoyed watching the chaos happening in the market. The major commodities sold in the night were mostly food, fruits, beef and locally made snacks.

Our bus joined the other buses to make a stop in the middle of the market, which I had now noticed was also a bus park, we were soon approached by the enthusiastic hawkers, mostly kids, who carried trays selling different varieties of food. Some were the popular Almajiri kids, who came to beg for alms, snacks, drink or even empty bottles passengers wanted to throw away.

The driver got down from the bus, I half anticipated he was going to have a serious argument with the other drivers, only to start smiling with them, you would have thought they were sworn enemies with how they drove just a few mins ago. They exchanged greetings and engaged in various conversations in Hausa. Most of the drivers were taking prospective youth corp members to various camp locations in the North Western Part of Nigeria.

I guess from the conversation the drivers had conversed in, they had resolved to reshuffle passengers, because not too long our driver asked the two passengers who weren’t going to Dakingari to alight from the vehicle and join two other vehicles going to Sokoto and Zamfara respectively. It was an emotional goodbye, we had all formed a bond from the few hours we spent together during the course of the journey. Five other passengers joined our vehicle from two of the other vehicles, it wasn’t a three on a seat setting anymore, which we weren’t particularly pleased with but we had to accommodate our fellow prospective youth corp members with one goal – Dakingari, Kebbi State, NYSC Permanent Camp.

The final journey to Dakingari began a few mins later. This was a few mins to 11:00pm.

NYSC › Re: Kebbi Chronicles: The Diary Of A Batch B Kebbi Coffa by Dottune(op): 5:35pm On Dec 04, 2019

We continued our journey to Dakingari. Worn out my the long journey, most of the guys in the bus had started resting on the top of the seat before them, but not because I had no seat with a backrest high enough for me to rest my head, I was seated by the window on the 3rd seat.

About an hour later, I noticed a rusty looking, white signboard, which was now partly brown, that read “Welcome to Kebbi State”. I was so excited, finally we had gotten to Kebbi, “in about 2 hours we should be in Kebbi State” I imagined. What I didn’t know however was, like Niger State, Kebbi State also had a very big landmass. “We don dey Kebbi state” I said excitedly to Michael, pointing at the rusty signboard, he had a broad smile on his face, you could easily notice in smile, even in the dark because of his teeth. All the other guys started wake up, after hearing the news that we were in Kebbi State and shared my enthuasism of arriving at the NYSC camp within 2 hours.

Three hours later, we were still on our way to Dakingari, I was confused and I was almost sure we had missed our way, because by the road side, you could make out the shapes of camels lying around. Although, seeing camels excited me and I could not wait to climb on one of them, I was already fatigued by the journey and I needed to get a good sleep. There were no vehicles at our front or at the back, which reinforced my earlier thought of being lost.

The weather was now cold, my hair which I had just cut at my barber’s a day before embarking on the journey, exposed my head to the sizzling cold. Harmattan had started in the North and the speed from the moving bus, gave room for the dry breeze to sneak into the bus. Closing the windows didn’t help matters, because the vehicle's boot was half opened, due to our luggage at the back of the bus. I had gotten a very big sweater, in anticipation of the harmattan I was told to expect at camp, but it was agonizingly far from my reach. I had kept the big, army green sweater inside my box along with the head warmers my neighbor gifted me. She had kept them with her years after serving in Kebbi State.

Machi1:
Hello Nairaland Fam..I pleased to inform you all that I won the suit case against my former employer today. The court ruled in my favour with respect to a breach of contract. I want to specially thank God and Strichland Associates. They got across to me after reading my story here. Sincerely they did a great job without a cost, I couldn't have engaged the services of a reputable law firm. This victory is for all the young hardworking Nigerians who are been frustrated and intimidated out there by employers. There is hope for a better country where truth and justice will prevail. God bless you all!

Wow, this is great, the funny thing is that I first read the thread when you created it, I bookmarked it on my browser. I was looking through my bookmarked webpages and I saw this post, my mind just said I should check if there is any update and na good news I see.
This is nice, hope they paid or what was the conclusion?

Health › Re: Nutritional And Health Benefits Of Suya Spice by Dottune(op): 8:35am On Aug 06, 2019

sassysure:
The polish people have a mixture of herbs and spices they use for barbecue that's exactly like yaji and it has been existing for yrs.

I'm.sure if u check out other countries, they may have something similar.
No country is exactly an island.
That, which u think might be exclusively yours might have a different name in another country.

Thank you for this wonderful insight, but we cannot still take away the fact that Nigeria's yaji has travelled beyond the country's boundaries.

I will look into the polish mix you are talking about, do you by any chance know the name?

Health › Nutritional And Health Benefits Of Suya Spice by Dottune(op): 10:27pm On Aug 05, 2019

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0251/3879/0499/files/1200px-Berberespice_large.jpg?v=1564823761
The Suya Spice (native name - Yaji) is a delicious meat spice, which originated from the Northern Part of Nigeria. It gradually began to gain popularity within the other parts of Nigeria when Mai Suya, meat gurus who specialize in preparing shish kebab (skewered meat) with suya spice, started making it from their mini stands at night and sold it at an affordable price. This has led it to become one of the most sort after night snack in the streets of Nigeria.

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0251/3879/0499/files/suya-2_large.jpg?v=1564824155

And it didn’t stop there, because other Africans wanted to have a taste of this delicacy, after hearing its tales. The spice is now a popular ingredient used in various parts of the world to grill roasted meat.

Suya spice is typically used for spicing beef, mutton(ram meat) and chicken, but it can be used for many types of meat.

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0251/3879/0499/files/Chicken-Suya-recipe_large.jpg?v=1564825032

So aside from being so popular, what are the nutritional and health benefits of Suya Spice?

Suya spice is made of some ingredients that are beneficial to the body such as cayenne pepper, paprika, ginger, garlic and onion.

It may reduce the blood pressure

One of the core ingredients of Suya Spice, cayenne pepper, has an active component called Capsaicin, which was found in a study to help reduce blood pressure when consumed as a dietary spice for a long term.

It serves as an antioxidant that helps to prevent diseases:

Paprika contains inhibitor edges derived from antioxidant that act against free radicals. Lycopene, from the neolatin genus Lycopersicon, is known to be a carotene that contributes to the intense color pigment of the many fruits and vegetables. it's absorbed by lipoproteins and accumulated in the main within the blood and liver, though it will be found in most muscle tissues of our body.

The consumption of carotenoid is indicated as a helpful part that may facilitate your whole body, and particularly to the eyes and system. Lycopene is also regarded as an anti-ageing defence for the skin, which makes the body healthy and look exquisite.

It has Antimicrobial Potentials

In a study carried out in Nigeria in 2008, it was observed that the ingredients used in preparing suya spice, singularly have antimicrobial potentials. Mixed together they have even greater potentials.

So, if you’ve never had a reason to try suya, despite its delicious taste, the nutritional and health benefits should change your mind. I think taking skewered meat with suya spice is the right combination for you to journey into this African delicacy.

Webmasters › Invite Connections To Follow Your Page: How To Grow Your Linkedin Page With This by Dottune(op): 11:22am On Jun 14, 2019*

Linkedin recently introduced a new feature over the past few days to its “Admin Tools” for pages, a direct invite button for Page Admins on Linkedin to invite their connections to follow their Linkedin page.

This newly introduced feature by the Professional Networking site is a mimic of Facebook Business Pages’ direct invite feature (Invite Friends to Like Your Page). One of the tools Facebook page admins use to grow pages organically.

NB: A LinkedIn Page is different from a LinkedIn Personal Profile. A LinkedIn Personal profile is your personal account on LinkedIn where you write about yourself, skills, experience, achievement etc. While a LinkedIn page is a Company’s page on LinkedIn, it can be managed by multiple people (admins) who have personal profiles on LinkedIn.

You can find more about LinkedIn Pages here.

If you own a Linkedin page or you’re an admin to one, you should have noticed the “New” notification in the Admin Tools section by now and if you haven’t taken note of it yet, I will be running you through on how to locate it and grow your Page using this feature.

This new feature is a welcome development for page managers, who had had to either copy the page’s URL, write a creative copy and post on their LinkedIn account or send private messages to connection, hoping they follow the page. However, with the direct invite feature, you can send a direct invite request to all your connections.

Before we proceed here a few guidelines stated by Linkedin Marketing Solutions to avoid spamming and misuse, that you should keep in mind:

- Page admins with less than 500 connections will see a Select all option.
- Pages with less than 100,000 followers can invite members to follow via the Grow your page audience module on the right rail.
- The module won’t display if an admin has closed it or there are less than 3 connections left to invite.
- Only one invite per member can be sent.

How To Use the Direct Invite Tool
Step 1: Go to your LinkedIn Page.

This is obvious, isn’t it? In order to use this tool, you must first visit your LinkedIn Page, it can only be accessed through this means.

Step 2: Locate the “Admin Tools” section on the upper right part of your page or use the “Grow Your Page Audience” module on the right rail:

Option 1: Locating the “Admin Tools” section on the upper right part of your page

Step 3: Click on “Invite Connections” from the dropdown options on the Admin tools.

Alternatively, you can use “Invite more connections” on the Grow Your Page Audience module if your page has less than 100,000 followers or if the module hasn’t been closed by another Admin.

Step 4: Select all if you want to invite all your connections to follow your page

If you want to invite specific people, simply type in their name in the search button and select the follower.

Hey boss,

Happy Sunday!
I wish to apply at Klaipeda University for my masters, however, I have C parallel in my NECO result. Due to the information I've been seeing concerning KU not accepting C parallel, I would like to confirm if it is just for Undergraduate studies or it also applies to Masters programme too? Thanks

baltic4real:
things you must note when applying to schools in Lithuania
your certificate: try to have the original copy of your certificate from your school, it might be needed when applying for admission and SKVC.
Applying for Undergraduate or master's degree: for undergraduate you can use waec or neco result, (but no combination) its better to have good grade and if you have done degree before even if you didn't finish the transcript is very useful for admission purpose. for masters 3rd class is a red flag but you can try some few schools that will consider you but pls contact the school first before applying.

Choose your course: EU and schengen medical courses like (nursing, laboratory technician, medicine) , I.T, engineering, social work, computer science, marine and Business management is very good to get work, paper after your studies.

school region and type: the 3 top cities are:

1. Venius has more student work like car wash, dish wash,hotel and bar work, cleaning, engineering work(labour) etc if you can speak Lithuania, Russia or German language you can get very good job but the city is expensive and the schools here are expensive.
2. kaunas: has jobs but the city is very expensive, high tuition fee for schools and accommodation, with lots of system guys(lol)
3. klaipeda: nice place with job opportunities from the seaport,low tuition fee and cost of living is low.

Admission: when you meet admission requirement, you must pay first year tuition fee before admission letter is sent to you .no scholarship or grant until you finish the first year or semester before you can apply for Erasmus programme, then EU will pay you while you are on exchange program and also pay your tuition fee for that period of time.

Choose embassy for Visa: you are expected to choose any Lithuania embassy that is closer to you or you can get their visit visa,such as Egypt, South Africa, Turkey, China or Ireland depends on you. here your journey begins(if not careful 2 years you will be here, i pray its not your portion).

steady communication with school or agent: your documents will be sent to any of those embassy that you are coming to them, that document last for just one month it will expire. here you have to calculate very well, time the visiting visa date and flight ticket plus your appointment date. highly stressful if you are doing it by yourself.

prepare for your interview: hmmmm different embassy different requirements, forms and formular, by this time money go don the drop for hand, abeg prepare financially, because you go dey another man land as goat meat, make sure your return ticket far small like 1 month.

Visa approval or denial: when they give you the passport search from the first page till the last page, your visa can be in the last page. you can decide to go back to Nigeria or fly directly to Lithuania, communicate with your school first so that your visa will not be cancel. for denial you might need to go back to Nigeria or settle in the country by getting their permit( bitter experience) in-other to apply for Lithuania again that's why you need to prepare very well so that you don't waste money.

runaway decision/ i get people for EU: please before you make stupid decision make sure you have another visa to your destination, because immediately the school didn't see you the visa will be cancel and you will be stranded in Schengen. remember it will be difficult then to get paper in any country in Schengen. so please first get your temporary resident permit which takes 3 to 6 months.

wish you success on this path you have choosen

Hello, please I would be grateful if you can respond to my question, for the Nigerian passport, the guarantor's form has a part that says:

Cash available - is this supposed to be the amount the guarantor has in his account?
Name and Address of Banker(s) - is this supposed to be the name and address of the bank(s) or the account officers.
House -if the guarantor doesn't have a house, can he fill nill?
other assets: if the guarantor doesn't have an asset, can he fill nill or none?

[quote author=pxjosh post=73994359]I filled my application form online and also paid online too (17,800). Then I paid the so-called 5k processing fee. Then 500naira to get commissioner of oath's signature for the guarantor's form at Magistrate court, Amawbia. That's roughly 23,300 excluding transport.

Digital marketing is an umbrella term that encompasses all kind of activity which takes place online to promote your brand, or to drive sales. Any company wanting to reach out to an audience nowadays, needs to have a digital presence.

The world has gone digital, and traditional marketing methods are no longer as effective and efficient as in previous years; and the more time passes, the more this becomes more evident.

Nowadays, everyone is on their phones, thanks to the introduction and constant development of smart phones; when just a few years ago, much of the activity done online was carried out through laptops and stand-alone computers.

Today, it’s all about being able to type in two words in a search engine to get an immediate answer.

Need to know the nearest eatery to you? Google it.

Need to know where you can go to buy yourself a new dress for an upcoming wedding? Google it.

Everything you need is just one click away.
