We all know that divorce rate is on the increase by each passing day with several factors combating the institution but one with a leading role is the social media. Of a truth, the benefits of social media and networking sites cannot be overemphasized, yet, the theft cum robbery in the quality of today's marriage cannot be thrown into oblivion. Let's get down to business.
6) Trust: This has disappeared from homes giving kudos to social media. The restriction alert on some people's phones will beat that of some banks strong room. The look on some men's face when their wives borrow their phones to make urgent calls is like you're toying with their two eggs.
5) Family Union: Some families have their sitting room on whatsapp. They now meet on chatting platforms to gist and bond together as family when they both live under same roof. Yorubas would say orisirisi(don't ask me d meaning, get a translator).
4) Attention: We've all experienced this at one time or the other. You repeat a statement one thousand and one time before getting a response, it simply means one thing -no attention.
3) Secrecy: Ten gbosas to our celebrities for saving me the explanations.
2) Nice Delicacies: Our kitchens have been turned to photo studios. What more do you expect from a photographer in a studio than burnt and tasteless meals? After posting pictures displaying their cooking skills on instagram and the likes, they will still come back to nairaland and facebook with topics like 'my husby has refuse to eat my food, what should I do?' My response: if you wanna cook, cook... if you wanna chat, chat... your phone has no business in the kitchen.
1) Communication: The social media has become some people's immediate family. Some are even comfortable relating their feelings with the internet than their spouses. Some feel better with online ideas, opinions and suggestions than that of their partners.

Which of these are you guilty of?

NIGERIA: A COUNTRY THAT NEVER EXISTED.

Kudos to that man known for Nigerians woes and afflictions all in the name of amalgamation. History may be tactful making my absence an agent of mockery, but experience over some decades would prove otherwise, thus, creating a pictorial sense of what never was, is not and would never be.
Nigeria, as joined and named by the Lizards(typo, I meant Lugards ) was never a nation but a United State of many Nations, each moving at her pace.
"Nigeria is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression. The word Nigerian is merely a distinctive appellation to distinguish those who live within the boundaries of Nigeria from those who do not".
Obafemi Awolowo 1947.
An indepth look into the above quote by a foremost nationalist is loud and clear enough, telling us our fate by nature that what would never be is the country Nigeria.
Without mincing words, Nigeria as one big country operating a centralized system, policies and polity remains a failure our leaders are yet to forsake. The evil usage of this mirage as an advantage in cutting their share of the National cake by many isn't oblivion, but the youths seem to be on sleeping pills. Some of these dealers(leaders) have sworn on their lives in bringing us to nothing before declaring 'TO YOUR TENT, O ISRAEL.'
A nation, simplicita, is a common people sharing a common heritage, language, culture, religion, etc. So, if by nation state we mean " a sovereign political entity" whose territorial jurisdiction extends to persons that share ethnic, linguistic, cultural, historical traits and who identify themselves as constituting one nationality, then, the word one Nigeria is not only confusing but misleading.
In drawing a parallel for Nigeria, It is recognized that the country has over 350 ethno-cultural groupings which has been compounded by Pronounced religious differences.
If there is no hope of A TRUE FEDERALISM where each region of supposed entity manages her resources and develops herself, going our separate ways wouldn't be a bad idea. Moreover, the Igbos are yearning for their dream Biafra, the South-South chanting Niger-Delta nation and the Yorubas foresee an Oodua Republic. What are we waiting for then? Could it be our brothers who believe in robbing Peter to pay Paul in order to cater for there unmanageable wives and kids?

We jettison our best brains on ethnic conditions cum religion sentiments. The requirements into the unity schools left some droplets on my face(a topic for another day). We celebrate mediocrity just to carry some regions along. Our civil service is messed up with dommies just because someone with 21% in an aptitude test is considered better than an 89% candidate in same test based on one useless sharing formulae.
What's the essence of the classical theory of comparative advantage by David Ricardo? We all know we can't be skilled in one line of practice but our competence and expertise would create a niche for us in our field of call. So, why must we sacrifice professionalism for undeserved bigotry?
If your clime is good at carrying guns, handle it. If mine is better at fishing, so be it.
Trust is another cog in our wheels of success. Marriage is an institution built on trust, so also Nigeria needs it, because all regions were joined together in a matrimony that cannot be termed Holy in 1914.
These and many more are billows contending against the ship Nigeria.
Conclusively, Pa Awo said " It is incontestable that the British not only made Nigeria, but also hand it to us whole on their surrender of power. But the Nigeria, which they handed over to us, had in it the forces of its disintegration. It is up to contemporary Nigerian leaders to neutralise these forces, preserve the Nigerian inheritance, and make all our people free, forward-looking and Prosperous. "
Let's ponder on these questions as we hope to get it right someday.
*Is Nigeria really a country?
*If yes, are we truly independent?
*If no, how do we retrace our steps?

Thanks for reading and please share.

Ogun state is gradually sliding into anomie.

...

Congrats to him and all Ghanaians

TenderSol:
Yes, I am interested.

There are two questions and you only gave answer to the second one. Answer the first question.

TenderSol:
Please, how and when did you apply?

Do you know the skul and are you interested?

When will these people roll out invites? Please, let's know when you get an invite.

Sunnypar:

It's mine already? I don't get you, please explain.

Mpyaw:
Welcome on board!

How do you mean? We wey be pioneer member?
Anyway, do justice to my request or help me call on those you feel might av an info or the other concerning that skul(LUSTRE SCHOOLS IKEJA).
Thanks!

Got an invite from Lustre Schools, Ikeja dis nite and scheduled for an interview tomorrow. Please anyone with info as regard payments, accommodation and school standard?
It's urgent please
Thanks.

I think this habit of 'I NEED A TEACHING JOB, I CAN TEACH BIOLOGY, GOVT,ETC' should stop.
This is a thread where teachers or to-be-teachers meet for advice, consultations, and job ads.......not an online application forum.
Please, lets stop this childish attitude of ours as it belittles the noble profession.
We have skul heads, directors, proprietors, headteachers and H.O.D's here....fine. They will inform us when there's an opening and not we sounding desperate and cheap.
Please, let's all stop this act.
Thanks and God bless!
2017 is our year of divine turnaround and I see lines falling in pleasant places for all passionate teachers.

Zirah:
Lazy effing arse. People like you love to be spoon-fed like a tod. You'll be better off going through this thread from pg.1. Try it.

Must you quote me to display your lunacy?

I also got anoda invitation....maybe those who honoured the first invitation should hint us what the test was like. Though, not sure if I'd be going sha.

Prince16:
Chai, ds astute pipo must really be mean o, imagine they don't offer their staffs anything. This is wickedness of d highest order, walahi!



Phewwww! **sigh of relief** Thank God.
I actually thot dey weren't paying at all.



Who u be? #juss~askin

.


1. Firstly, over d weeks, I've noticed ur efforts in posting Vacancies on ds thread. For ds, I say 'kudos'. Plz, relent not on ur effort in depopulatin d unemployment market

2. Most schools in dt axis (ifo - Ogun State) pay relatively lower wages dn other highbrow locations - a fact which u are very much conversant with. Even some well established "big schools" in Ogun state pay less than 50k. Many (big/boarding schools in ogun) pay within d 40-50k range. Though there are exceptions like d Daywaterman college, Nigerian-Turkish International Schools etc. As for d not so big schools, giving u 35k is as if they are giving u a arm/leg. Most of these pay between 20 & 35k. Pls, don't be carried away by d structures u see. Most of them are servicing loans they took in setting up/expansion.

3. I'm surprised that u, who some few weeks back was on a salary of 25k as a BSc + MSc degree holder can suddenly anathematize a school just because they can only afford less dn 25k just because u've Hammered on a 50k salary:





MIND u, some PRINCIPALS in some schools earn less than 25k in ds same naija.

What if I tell u dt even with d 'huge' amount ur new school is offering, u are still being underpaid?

Yup! Dem dey cheat u big time. 'How?' u may ask. Pls compare d school fees of ur new school with dt of ur former school/astute college and u'll be amazed at d difference. This means dt with d humongous fees charged, they can indeed afford to pay u more dn d meagre 50k dey offered u! Moreover, as a boarding school, dey av (near absolute) control over ur time.


Gye, all dt glitters ain't gold o!


Hehehehehe, u think say dem be mugu by giving u accommodation +feeding shey? What u think u are gaining from dem with one hand (extra 25k+'free' food+'free' accommodation), u lose more coz dem dey collect am wit d Oda hand thru house master/official/unofficial duties. At d end of d day u'll see dt ur duties far belies d pay!

Gye, I've bn there myself! I once worked in ds big boarding school on 61k pay. Meeeeeen, despite d fact dt I wasn't residing within d school, d stress nor be here o! Saturdays is compulsory to come 2 school 4 lessons from 9am-2.30pm-though we were paid separately, ds can't be compared with d 'potentials' d day possesses. That means ur Saturday paroles don suffer be dt. Yet, having private tutorials with d students in d school was prohibited! At times sef, we are asked to come on Sundays!

Lass-lass, I resign. Some of my colleagues (even my Principal) thot my action was weird, but I believed dt even if I got a lesser paying day school (i estimated 40k minimum) with lesser restrictions/more freedom, I can make up 4 warreva I would've lost in wages thru PP and still have enough time on my hands 2 'develop' myself and 4 other domestic activities, which hitherto was virtually nonexistent!

As God would have it, some few months later, I got anoda offer (10k above my 'cut-off' mark) in a day school which fell in line with my expectations. Moreover, PP within d school is encouraged. Now I'm far beta of!

Conclusion: Like u said in ur post above, .


Let's not discourage others from #startin~small

Once again, I appreciate ur efforts in postin Vacancies on ds forum.

YOU'RE A TEACHER!

Prince16:

babadudu1:
For dat quote, you must be one of Dr Ayeni's students.

Not really....What department?

Kaysalas:
I will be enrolling for the NTI PGDE once the form is out. I am however thanking you NOW! ..Thanks for the tip.

Uwc

Kaysalas:
How do you become a certified teacher?

Get a certificate in Education.....either a pgde in any university or NTI programme. One thing people don't know is that employers prefer graduates with education certs to those without edu cert.....hence,the former are called teachers while the latter cheaters.
Thank me later!
