Missfads, I believe you!

The invitation has started flowing...'You are ELIGIBLE to attend the NAF DSSC 22 Zonal Enlistment'...text message. Keep your phones on.

The deputy Governor of Osun State who is also the commissioner of education of the State spoke on the re-classification of schools on STV.
On the issue of Mixed Baptist Schools, she said the government cannot afford the luxury of keeping girls alone. That Govt schools henceforth will be mixed. That even the baptist school started the policy themselves. That Baptist high school Iwo was originally purely boys school but they mixed it. They brought in girls and removed boys. They called it Baptist High school. In Ire, it's thesame thing, Ifa and all over the state. In Osogbo, there are so many baptist private school that are mixed which originally were single sex school. That she is also a christian and understands every christian legacy.
She said they are on a mission to improve the schools which virtually have nothing. She said no teacher will loose his or her job instead they will recruit more teachers. They have drastically reduce the teacher student ratio. They met situation where in a school they have 120 students to one teacher and have reduce that to 40 in some cases which is not even what the Gov wants. He wants them to ensure that they dont hit 40. The Gov objective is to reduce drastically the teachers student ratio.
She said for every aggrieved groups, there is nothing that works like dialogue, that they are open to talk to people, they are never tired of letting people know what they are doing and how they are doing it. As a matter of fact the whole state are fully in support of them.
Students have been given a powerful education tool called Okpo Iwo which is very similar to the ipad. The difference basically is that it doesnt come with the internet. That they have to remove the internet so that the student dont go to the wrong site. It has basically 3 platforms. The 1st is the e-library which has 53 books which are text books recomended by the federal government. Every student in the high school is entitle to the powerful educational tool free of charge at no cost at all. It will also be given to the teachers.
It also has the virtual classroom where all the lesson notes that have been prepared by the class teachers are embedded in the tool. It has 40 thousand past questions in JAMB, WAEC and guided answers. Apart from that, the bible is there, the Quran is there and also games like chess and sodoku. They want Osun state student to be the best in Nigeria.

Government of Malaysia says muslims are offended when christians uses Allah. Allah also means God in Malaysian language and christians always use it in church during sermon. Malaysian court decides only muslims can use the word Allah. It bans non-muslim from using the word Allah. Catholic church wants to appeal the case.

fetthu: Pls help me out o ♏v̶̲̥̅ people, ‎​¶ ‎​A̶̲̥̅♏ having problrm uploading ♏v̶̲̥̅ Picture\passport on D NAF form o. This has prevented me from applying. Pls help a brother out

Be sure that your passport is saved using jpeg. Then reduce it to the required size, I think it's 5kb and upload.
To reduce, open your jpeg passport and click on 'fix'. You can resize from the list of options it brings at the right. Hope this helps. All the best.

rumelovelace, It's either you make enquiries from NYSC HQ like Mimi suggested or you can contact the staff in charge of NYSC affairs in your school to direct you on what to do. All the best.

Stay focused!

Galads: Its now am bringing my own problem o..house pls I just wanted to upload my docs, and I notice d size is more than 150kb. How do I compress it pls

Open the scanned document (jpeg), click on fix, a list of options will appear on the right, just check carefully you will see where to resize.

ANOTHER METHOD
Open the document using 'open with', select paint. Press ctrl w, then reduce the size by 50% or less for both horizontal and vertical and save.
All the best.

My brother, No bank will give you loan without collateral. If you like give them an excellent business plan. They are into business like you and what they will be looking at is what is in for them with all the possible risks, mitigated. A loan without collateral is a high risk credit. Even the Diamond Bank I believe will only give you short term facility i.e OD when you have a good track record and a personal guarantee.
I dont know the kind of business you want to do, I just want to believe you must have done your cash budget including your loan repayment and all the upfront fees...with my experience, when you do that you might see that maybe you just might not need the loan from a bank considering their upfront fees, interest rates, default rates etc except if the business you are about doing will give you a 200% profit.
NB: Banks will not look at your business plan to help enrich you...but they will check to see how profitable will it be to them with less risk and also if it is viable and will not affect the repayments. Bank Loan is not advisable for small business with less than a 100% profit.

mimzy007: You probably are among very few who did that. I believe they said you can make adjustments aft submitting your form except for email & Phone number.So its not a problem.

I dont think one can make adjustments at all, because I tried it, it didnt work. I dont know if anybody have tried?

samobaba4u: When did u graduated that you want to register with COREN?
Why not start from d engineering body which is NSE and register as graduate member first. Don‘t you know COREN will only register you 5yrs after ur graduation & you must have registered with NSE?

Graduate membership of NSE will do. If he is on the process of being certified by COREN, it's a plus. The point is for him to be registered with his professional body, wherein NSE is the professional body for engineers. COREN is the regulatory body.

Waow. Good to read from you again sir! Officer emrino. I always derive my inspiration from your thread even though it is now stale. Your posts are really encouraging...congratulation on your commisioning sir and wish you a wonderful career. Hoping to join you soon.
