tks 4 d mention..I'm graduating frm Ambrose Ali University,frm d department of education management.the staff strenght is pretty strong..most times 3 lecturers share 1 course..wot ar my chances??

Ekpoma is a good school. But I think your chances will be limited there. Why not try these new Universities? Your school's pedigree will help you.

ggirl4real:
I'm jealous already. I've always admired my lecturers and wish to join them soon. Besides, I have other good plans for youths. Lecturing will give me that avenue to express myself. I must affect my generation in the little way I can, even "me" cannot stop me. So help me God.

Don't be jealous oo! You'll get there, I'm sure. Wow! Can't wait to hear of your plan ooo. Lecturing is really a good avenue for one to express oneself.

I like people who are determined. I hope you won't mind a Hausa and a Muslim man praying for you.

yungprof09:

Which school are you graduating from? What is the staff strength in your department? Which course?

ggirl4real:
Amen! Amen!! Amen!!! Fire...
Thanks

I'm a lecturer already. It is what I ever wanted. I ignored an offer from NNPC to stay in the academics.

ggirl4real:
I have similar passion for lecturing. Will be passing out this October.

I graduated with a CGPA of 4.49 - Best in my Faculty.

I'm familiar with most of my lecturers.

I've applied for Masters Programme.

I've even gone for Professional Certification.

God you know all I've put into this pursuit. Let all my efforts not be in vain.

God please help me. I really need this job after service.

I can't wait to be a lecturer. It's the best thing that will happen to me.

May God help you.

Hw much does a GA per month?

Entry level is CONUASS 1 step 1 which is about N105k - N115k per month depending on the institution

STENON:
Yes, I know. Bt he has some roles to play on his own Part and pertaining to his academics.

Having such ambition means he's put enough.

STENON:
You dnt need to move closer to your Lecturers/HOD before they know you. One thing I'l say is that try ALL your possible best to always gt the HIGHEST score in all your Tests and Exams,Dnt do copy and paste assignmnt frm ur course mate, Sit at the front in Lecture room/exam hall, dnt make noise, be serious during the lectures, Try to answer some bt not all the questions in the lecture room ( in order not to be ITK) . And with God, your Results will say more abt You among the Lecturers.

He has to. Even if he were to graduate with a First Class, his HOD has to agree to work with him. They're that powerful

scarplanet:
1. If you graduated with a first class honours, then the GA appointment is automatic in virtually all institutions

2. If you have a second class upper, apply to the registrar of your desired institution through the HOD of your desired department just like sureguy said. It could be a lot easier if you are applying to your alma-matar.
I suggest you bag one or two certifications in your desired field, it should be an advantage. Also it's advisable to join one or two professional bodies relevant to your field; there are some free professional bodies btw.

3. I don't think a degree below second class upper is usually considered for appointment for Graduate Assistant. Unless ofcourse on certain special occasions.

4. For your Msc, you dont need to do it in the university you are employed into, though it will be favourable for u if u do it there. Upon appointment into a university, you can get a study fellowship (scholarship) or TETFUND to study anywhere in the world.

5. Finally, you should know the pay as a Graduate Assistant is meagre. It's about 2/3 of what an entry level permanent staff in a good bank gets, less than 1/4 of what a fresh entry level NLNG staff gets, and maybe a little bit lesser than what other fresh graduates gets in other federal parastatal. In a nutshell, what I am insinuating is that if u want a GA job for the passion you have for it, then great. If you want it because you think federal government jobs pay well, then you will be so disappointed.

Goodluck bro

Regarding your 3rd point, even a 2.2 is usually considered for a GA appointment depending on the applicant's rapport with his head of department and the institution's needs. In the Universities, HODs hold the key.

I agree that the payment isn't mind blowing, in fact, to start enjoying academics, one must attain the status of a senior lecturer.

Hmmmm Kano is the only northern state? Hausa girls are fine...list isn't a true reflection of reality...

It's [size=20pt]LadyF[/size] again

I agree. Wondering whether the OP has ever visited Bauchi and Adamawa. Kano is nowhere near them

nickibarb:
please what is coolidge effect? i'm about to ask google sha but maybe you can tell me. marriage is 2 years and 6 months old. we're still very much in love so, for now, unless some demonic girl tries to get a hold on him with blackmagic, i am 100% sure that cheating is not in the books.

Sorry for the late response. I was too busy and stayed off internet for a while.

Loosely put, Coolidge Effect is a phenomenon in which a spouse (usually the husband) will experience a drop, not only in his libido, but in his overall performance while having sex with his partner as their union age.

This drive some men to cheat if only to convince themselves that they still have it in them.

Your marriage is still young and i'm sure you won't be noticing any change in your husband's performance. But stay vigilant.

Chiefpriest1:
Four times in four months is quite low. I figure he's giving you time to face the kids.

Glad you trust him enough to know he's not cheating on you.

We might deceive ourselves to sound very loving sometimes,but fact is that once the babies start coming, there's always a lull in sexual activities between couples.

If you drive, have you noticed that the excitement you had when you just bought the car has waned over the years? It's the nature of man.

Dont sweat it as far as its not a big problem. You can jokingly tell him,but dont bug him to the extent of making him feel less of a man.

Given that the baby is only 4 months old, the sex frequency is OK.

Yes! It appeared her reception has not in any way decreased but the hubby's libido is already (or appeared to be) low. That could be blamed on Coolidge Effect (though that may depend on how old the marriage is).

And yes, it is not a big deal. However, I advise she keeps a close eye on him because Coolidge Effect might drive him to cheat.

I agree

I deliberately left out El rufai since he would be busy in Kaduna cleaning up d mess Sambo and his ass lickers have done in that beautiful state. Idika Kalu is good also.

I agree. Prof Barth Nnaji should also be included

I agree. But I'd like Prof Barth Nnaji to be part of the team.

Lol Osinbanjo ke.You are not even current. That was only used to win elections. There is no more need for him

I'm not in the mood for arguments. But I think you'll be proved wrong from May 29th.

Can the Kano Emirate Council kindly grant Sanusi Lamido a four year leave of absence? Please I m on my kneel. I passionately want to see Sanusi in the economic team of Buhari. A combination of Sanusi, Soludo, Utomi, Fashola and Fayemi in Aso Rock with the able supervision of Osibanjo would take Nigeria to the promised land.

Iweala u just ended up bringing disgrace to we Deltans. Over hyped Havard graduate. Shame on u.

Add El-Rufai, Dr Kalu Idika Kalu and Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed to that list and we'll have a super team that even America will be envious of.

Prof Osinbajo is just the right man to lead this super Presidential Team. He has the intellect and the pedigree.

I'm optimistic Nigeria's future is in good hands

Dr Farouq Kperogi. An Assistant Professor of Journalism and Citizen Media at the Kennessaw State University, Georgia

I love OBJ. He looks even more presidential than Buhari.

Never dare a bird named BAT

This guy is a boss!!!

Am not sure APC youths like Ismael Ahmed can face MrAyeDee.

#PureShowDown

They did. And came out victorious

Altruism in nature

I love this man! I love his ways! I admire his simplicity.

I pray he lives well into his 100s.

I'm a Muslim but I follow his teachings. I respect his words and emulate his deeds

He is a role model

Happy birthday, sir.

jnrbayano:
Blanc was colossus indeed, you obviously watched him.

He played for several french team and he scored many goals as a defender. In his time with Merseille he was called "Le President"

Zinedine Zidane played football effortlessly. I will never forget his display against Brazil in Germany 2006 World Cup quarter-finals.

Immaculate display.

Yes I did! I watched his 1998 World Cup clips.
He was a class apart.

Zidane was a god! He made even the most difficult things look easy.

Another player I revere is Raul! He soars like an eagle and kisses his ring whenever he scores. He was a beauty to watch.

jnrbayano:
Strong!

But Laurent Blanc played Man Utd towards his twilight years.

He was better especially in the late 90s.

I remember that in France 98 World Cup before each game, he will kiss Fabian Bertez's skinned scalp.

Yes! I don't know his earlier teams that's why I mentioned united only.

He was certainly a colossus of a defender when he was in his prime.

The player I missed most is Zinedine Zidane. It was just cool watching him. In my view, he was the best European player of the last century
