See how the policeman conducts were professional throughout the interview.

Between 1am to 2am. At least twice in a week.

Dr Adewale Tiamiyu, a lecturer in the Department of European Languages and Integration Studies at the University of Lagos, shares his remarkable educational journey from humble beginnings to academic success in this interview with IMOLEAYO OYEDEYI


How did you feel when you had an ‘F9 parallel’ in your O’level exam?

That was in 1987. I felt it was over and it was not possible to go back to school. But I still tried. At that time, it was my social life that affected me. I used to be a break dancer. I also marched for my school: Adelagun Memorial Grammar School in Ibadan, Oyo State. But at the end of it all, I went to check my result and it was F9 parallel. So I lost hope. Though I later sat for the GCE exam, it wasn’t successful, because I did not have the English language. I tried the examination twice and I had E8 in the language. So I abandoned education in 1990. Between 1990 to 1995, I was in Cote d’Ivoire as a meat seller. So I travelled out of the country. However, I returned in 1995 to Lagos and registered for GCE lessons. At the same time, I worked as a primary school teacher in Surulere. So I prepared to go back to school between 1995 and 1997. I made my GCE in 1996 and got admitted into Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife in 1997.

However, was it only the break dancing and extracurricular activities that made you fail the ‘level examinations?

No. That was not the only issue. Then, I was too social and had about 18 girlfriends in almost all Ibadan schools. In those days, we always went to different schools for inter-house sports and I would want to have at least one girlfriend in any school we visited. I am talking of the 80s now. So, I think it was my social life. It was later in life that I understood that I was not a dullard since I had a First Class in OAU years later. I used to think I was a dullard, but my academic achievement in Ife made me believe I was not. I was just not serious during my secondary school days.

What was the reaction of your parents to your O’level result at that time, did they also give up on your education?

They were disappointed that I had an F9 parallel in my O’level. But when I did GCE in 1988, I had credits in four subjects, excluding English. So I did GCE again and kept on having E. So I tried, but I couldn’t make the full five credits. And I never wanted to go to a polytechnic anyway. Assuming I wanted to do that, I could have combined my results. But I never wanted to go. I remember that after my first attempt, it was one of my girlfriends who taught me Mathematics, which made me pass the subject in the second examination, GCE. But I never had credits in English. And when I couldn’t get admission to the university, I wasn’t comfortable in my area anymore. So, I had to travel out of the country.

But why Cote D’IVoire?

I wanted to go to the United States from a French country. This was because most of my mates who didn’t make their results back then had travelled to Holland and other foreign countries just to take away that shame of not passing O’level. You know we were big guys in those days. And all our girlfriends had all gone to the universities because they made their results. So psychologically we were disturbed. We just felt the only option available for us was to go abroad and look for money. So that was why we travelled out. I had intended to go to the USA from Cote d’Ivoire. But when I got to Abidjan, I was disappointed with what I saw. I regretted travelling out. And even now, the phobia is still in me as I don’t want to travel out. Even if they are calling me in the same USA now, I already have that phobia that I don’t want to go and suffer anywhere in the world.

Do you know where some of the bright students in your secondary days are right now?

One of them is in my Faculty. We are both lecturing there. Though he is my senior now at the university, he used to be my classmate in secondary school. He went to the University of Ibadan and graduated in 1993. But I got admitted in 1997. However, having a First Class in Ife made it easy for me to start my lecturing career immediately as I was retained as a lecturer in my department between 2003 and 2005. So I think my First Class made up for the F9 issues I had in my secondary school. And now, I am even much more educated than some of those who came out with better results during my O’level days. I am a Ph.D holder now. But some of them don’t have a PhD. Each time they see me, they wonder how I made it. But I always say, it is never over until it is over. Life is a race anyway. This means if you are still alive, you can become anything. I am a goal-getter and I don’t think anything is possible.

What about your other friends who had the same poor O’level results at the time like you, where are they now and is there anyone among them who was able to overcome that setback?

None were able to overcome that setback of poor O’level results. There is even one at the University of Lagos where I work currently. He is a bricklayer. He never furthered his education after that experience. He is doing the bricklaying job at the university. In my set at the secondary school, we were about 600. And three of us from the same secondary school and class currently work in UNILAG. One is an Associate Professor. I am a lecturer and the third man is a bricklayer. The first man is my senior because I couldn’t catch up with those who had gone ahead of me. But the third person is still a bricklayer as we speak here in UNILAG. Though we still talk, he is not always comfortable around me, because he is not happy seeing me as a Dr, while he is a bricklayer. But I wanted to encourage him because I don’t believe anything is possible. I believe that if he can dream it, it is possible. I could remember that when I was doing my master’s programme at UNILAG. I used to trek from Ikotun to the university. I trekked more than 20 times to go for my studies that year. So I am the type that doesn’t give up on something.

What do you think often goes on in the mind of your secondary school classmate who is now a bricklayer each time he sees you?

Well, I think one of them will be the age factor. I am 54 years old now. But when I made my decision to go back to school in 1995, I was 26 years of age. I left Cote d’Ivoire as a meat seller with the determination to go back to school. So I decided at the right time and I got admission at the age of 29. I eventually graduated at the age of 32. So it was still possible for me to catch up with those who had gone far ahead of me. But if you tell my secondary school classmate who is now a bricklayer to go back to school now that he is also over 50 years of age, he won’t want to do that. This is because he is married with children now. It is too late now for him unless his children will send him to school. I remembered the story of a woman who got admission at the age of 64 to OAU to study law and she graduated at the age of 70. So it is not over until it is over. Life is just like a football match, once the referee has not blown the whistle, you can’t say this is who will win the match.

You went to Cote d’Ivoire intending to travel to the United States from there, so, how did you end up as a meat seller in that country?

• I had about 18 girlfriends while in secondary school - UNILAG don who had 'F9 parallel' in WASSCE
• 1.8 million candidates register for WASSCE – WAEC
• Firm trains 100 OAU students in photography

When I got there, they asked me if I had an O’level result. I said I didn’t have one. They said that hadn’t been that I had an O’level result, I would have been employed to teach English in the primary school. It was at that time I learnt that if you went to secondary school and didn’t have an O’level result, you remained illiterate. For me, it was very difficult to get abroad from the French country especially when I had no evidence that I attended a secondary school. So the people in Abidjan then asked me which handwork I learnt. Then, I told them I didn’t learn any work. So that was why they got me a meat-selling job. I would go around the market with the meat in my tray to sell to people. That was in the Northern part of Cote d’Ivoire. Initially, I didn’t want to do it. But my maternal uncle, whom I stayed with, stopped feeding me at some point. He said he couldn’t be feeding someone that was not ready to work. So I had to accept the job.

But when you got to Ivory Coast and got disappointed, why didn’t you return to Nigeria?

It was not possible to return because I had no fares to do that. So I had to work. More so, before leaving Nigeria, I had promised my girlfriend that I would come back to take her to the United States. So that shame of failing to make it to the United States caught me. That was why I decided to stay back in the French country to work and gather money. I invested the money in the business of selling rice, potatoes, and onions but the business collapsed. So I had to come back to Nigeria in 1995 to pursue education. I took that decision because I discovered that if one does not go to school or has money, one can’t belong to any serious class in society. And since I had pursued money and couldn’t get it, I felt the only way left for me to have class in life was to go back to school. That was why I got back and started reading the Oxford English textbook for primary four, five, and six classes. I also read a lot in Cote d’Ivoire and that allowed me to master all the basics that I lost in the English language.

How correct is the claim that you once worked as a Septic tank evacuator?

That was when I returned to Lagos from Cote d’Ivoire. When I came back to Nigeria in 1995, I stayed with my uncle in the Aguda area in Surulere, Lagos. And evacuating septic tanks is what my uncle did then for a living. So one day, I asked him to give me money to buy books for my GCE lessons and he told me that I had to join him in the work. I said I was not interested. He then said he couldn’t give me any money if I was not ready to join him to do the work. That was why I agreed to do the work with him. But whenever we got any job then, he would give me only £1 out of the £10 he charged. Yet, I was the one that would enter the septic tank. But I still managed to do it for two years before I got admission in 1997. It was the money I made during those two years that I used to buy the books I needed for my pre-university education preparations. As God would have it, I eventually got admission to OAU to study the French-German language.

During these periods of your struggle for a breakthrough, didn’t the same urge to have girlfriends come again to you?

It can’t come again because I was down and knew the kind of things I wanted. My upbringing was rough because my exposure was very high. But during my struggling period, I discovered that if I don’t have money or get an education, it won’t be possible for me to get the kind of woman and life that I want for myself. I eventually met my wife at OAU. So without education and money, there was no way I would have been able to get someone like her. And that thought has kept me going since I bagged my first degree. I saw the need to take my education to the PhD level. And it was after bagging it that I was able to catch up with some of my old friends and classmates. Some of them even respect me more now, because of my status. Some of them are doing their PhD programmes and I am the one helping them with it. Even those of them that have bagged their master’s Degrees as far back as 1996, I am still the one guiding them through their doctorate programmes now. Life is just like a game. And no one is a dullard. If a student fails, it is the teacher that has failed. This discovery has helped me to train and nurture many students. I can remember that when I started teaching English in Ikotun after returning to Nigeria, I taught about 70 students the English language and all of them passed the subject. About 40 of them had A1. This was because I had discovered why students fail, especially in language subjects. Currently, I speak eight different languages fluently, including Chinese, German, French, Hausa, Spanish, Korean and all. But I understand about 14 languages. You have to understand a language before the speaking comes. So I understand 14, but speak eight fluently.

How were you able to learn those 14 languages and speak eight of them fluently?

Being a Yoruba man, I speak Yoruba. But when I was in Cote D’Ivoire during those five years, I spoke Jula, the local language that they speak in Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea, and Senegal. It is their lingua Franca. I was able to speak it because I worked with the natives in the French country. But I also learned French in the country while selling meat. I bought French grammar books and read everything. I didn’t know that through the readings, I was improving my intelligence. It was when I got back to Nigeria that I discovered I had improved. This was because I scored 30/30 on the first test that I took in OAU. I couldn’t even believe it when my score was announced. It was then I discovered that I was not a dullard back then in secondary school. It was just because I was not serious at all. So I kept on studying hard in Ife and when I graduated in 2002, I was the only First Class in the whole Faculty of Arts. I got the entire Faculty prizes that year. The school then retained me as a graduate assistant. But I later resigned from the university in 2006.

Why did you resign?

I received a job offer from Conoil Plc because I had a First Class and the company needed people who spoke French fluently. I went for their interview and they saw that my French was very powerful. So they asked me to get more people for them, which I did. I was expected to give the university three months’ notice which I did in my resignation letter. But before the three months could end, I had already lost the Conoil job. So I lost both ways at the same time. I couldn’t get back into the university and the Oil company had also got someone else to replace me. So I ended up becoming a primary school teacher again in Lagos.

How did that happen?


What happened was that I was expected to resume in Conoil the following month. But because I didn’t want to abscond from the university, I had to give the school three months’ notice. Along the line, I lost my phone. So there was a problem of communication between me and the oil company. I had thought they would wait for me since I had already requested three months before resuming with them. But by the time I left Ife three months later and went to the oil company, they had already got someone else. So, I went back to teaching at primary and secondary schools. Later on, I did my master’s programme in 2010 and was employed at UNILAG in 2012 as a lecturer. I began my PhD immediately and finished it in 2020. So it took me eight years to run the programme. But I thank God that I have been able to make up for lost time.

Do your wife and children speak the foreign languages you speak fluently?

No, not all. But everybody in my family speaks Chinese. They all understand French and German. I taught them the languages. Two of my children are currently competing in an international competition in China. They were invited by the Chinese school. I am determined to get back what I lost in education for my children.

Yes, for people who speculated and bought dollars above 1,000, it doesn't make sense to follow her advice.

But those digital marketers, freelancers, Youtubers etc earning dollars, it is a great advice to adhere to.

No, it's not common sense, it's a shallow one from her. Then as long as you are buying goods here in Nigeria, for anyone who acquired dollars when it was above #1,100, yes you may pay $1,000 to purchase goods, its never the same worth like you put it judging by how naira has gained against the dollar recently.

No, read the judgment again. The money laundering charges were struck out.

Can u submit a chaptgpt generated article as assignment I'm any academic institutions?

I use chatgpt a lot. It's so bland, monotonous, vague and predictable. It lacks the detailed and specificity u want for a researched answer.

There was a time I became interested in Nigerian music industry the early colonial period especially the 1920s. Chatgpt just came up with some general and vague answers about the Nigerian music industry in general. It couldn't cone down into the 1920s I wanted.

I believe they are still part of general board members.

Subsidy removal money is doing wonders

But truth be told, these cars will really help the third class traditional rulers fight insecurity to a standstill.

Just imagine if the traditional rulers need to get information about the movement of bandits. Where else to get such info if not through visits to dibias, who see the gateway between the living and the spirits?

How do they get to the dibias who reside where no legs can reach if these vehicles are not available?

And if the bandits somehow strike even after their secrets have been leaked, who best to call if not the ancestors of these third class traditional rulers, ancient warriors who fought the forebears of bandits to a standstill before the white men came?

But the ancestors with their tired bones will need all the help they can get to reach the scene of action as soon as possible. These cars will help in that regard.

What if the bandits take to their heels using those bikes they are synonymous with after capturing a few helpless subjects of the third class traditional rulers?

What can be the best way to give them a hot chase in the dead of the night through the thick of the forest?

None else than these four wheeled machines!!

The roaring sound of the racing engines raving through the woods will scare the bandits to their bones and force them to surrender to the superior engine of the Nissan beast and set free their captives!!

There's no doubt therefore that these cars are richly desired and required by these third class traditional rulers in carrying out the thankless task of battling insecurity with every drop of their royal blood, and I commend Minister Wike's robustly kind gesture with a 39 year old whiskey bottle that's billed to turn forty years tomorrow.

Interesting facts on tithing

Numbers 18:21 (NIV):

"I give to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as their inheritance in return for the work they do while serving at the tent of meeting."

Deuteronomy 14:22-23 (NIV):

"Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine, and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always."

Deuteronomy 14
27And you shall not neglect the Levite who is within your towns, for he has no portion or inheritance with you.

There is a reason the 10% was meant for the Levites (because he has no portion or inheritance with you) It's up to you to research why they do not have an inheritance and how this ties to why they receive this 10%, then you have to ask yourself if your pastors are truly levites literally or symbolically.

Deuteronomy 14
28 “At the end of every three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in the same year and lay it up within your towns. 29And the Levite, because he has no portion or inheritance with you, and the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your towns, shall come and eat and be filled, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands that you do.

Deuteronomy 26:12 (ESV)
“When you have finished paying all the tithe of your produce in the third year, which is the year of tithing, giving it to the Levite, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your towns and be filled

Have you seen any parish/church practising the above as stated in the bible ??

Unfortunately for a lot of us Christians, we are locked into this perception that our spiritual Daddy's cannot be wrong, forgetting that even our birth Daddy's make mistakes all the time.

In churches, usually, only the below verses are quoted

Malachi 3:8-10 (NIV):

"Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me. But you ask, 'How are we robbing you?' In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,' says the Lord Almighty, 'and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.'"

My personal submission is that you would rob God if you were not paying your tithe in the Old testament as it was mandated as an inheritance for the Levites, but in the new testament it is no more a mandate.

As for me, I pay my tithes because I key into the Old Testament covenant on it and because it helps to run the House of God. Once a working Pastor sees this as his cashcow, then the purpose is defeated, I will just pay mine into a different church that actually uses it to maintain the house of God and does a lot of charitable stuffs for the community

The bolded is one of the reasons I am paying tithe

This topic is the elephant in the house as regards Nigeria challenges.

have you gotten your passport now

Lol 5k?

You think it is your ordinary ID verification? You don't even know me.

Beside all the money i spent were for good things: driving license, brand new phne and international passport (10 years)

Xbee007:
Someone here is doing ID verification for less than 5k.

Exactly they finally approved it manually.

Something i have been begging to do all this while but they will rather told me the process is automated and
there can't be human intervention.

Thanks you.

swiftz:


Lol. Fiverr has issues. Trust me, there was no difference in the last attempt. They just decided to manually approve it. So why put people under so much stress when they do exactly what is needed?

Anyway, congrats. Victory at last.

Yes.

The account was reactivated 4 days ago having been restricted for about 7 months.

I made several attempts within this period all to no avail.

I spent close to #300,000 to buy high end new phone, did a driver licence, international passport, lightining alomg with countless daily prayers.

I was using Infinix Hot 10 but then i had to buy Samsung A12 may be the camera will be better still no success.

I opened 12 support tickets with CS but all their responses were like one taking to robots.

Most of them always replied with below answers. Which i have done countless time without success. (Most of the the CS staff must have recongnized me lol)


1. high-quality photo of ID you want to verify with (the best for it to fit the screen, with no light reflection and being clear/readable

2. high-quality portrait selfie that is taken at the given moment (not the entire body, not looking on the side but straight to the camera, it needs to be with good light, the photo should not be a photo of the picture on your ID, and you should not hold your ID).


Finally i just have to tell i want to delete the account so that i can open another one because all efforts are not yealding.

This time around, they responded that i should try again and i should revert back to them how it went.


I did and the ID verification failed again. So I updated that it has failed again and they should just close the account.


About 3 hours later i received a miraculous congratulation message that my account has been verified.


What a long journey to breakthrough!


I just began to praise GOD

Make sure your business card is eye-catching. Business cards are used in business settings as well as social ones, so it's a good idea to make yours memorable. You can do this by making it colorful, using large type, and adding some design elements.




Here are some tips for making your business card look professional:


1.Keep your business card simple and clean. There is no need for you to use fancy fonts or flashy colors. Your business card should be short and sweet. Don't clutter it up with unnecessary information. Just provide the basic contact details, including your name, email address, phone number, and website if applicable. That's it! You don't need to list your social media accounts or include any special offers or coupons. You can also include a logo, but don't make it too big or complicated. It's best to keep it simple.


2. Keep it clear. Don't be tempted to put too much on your business card. This makes it harder for people to read. The main reason for this is that people are distracted by small details. In order to focus on the important information, you have to simplify your message. You can do this by using a single font, reducing the number of words and the number of lines, and reducing the amount of space between the words and the lines. You can also use a clear layout that gives the reader the impression that the text is easy to read.


3. Use white space in your business card. If you have a lot of text, make sure there is plenty of white space around it. White space is the empty space between letters and words on a page. It helps to separate groups of information. It is usually considered good practice to use white space, especially in a business card. Business cards are often printed on paper stock that has a limited amount of white space. It is important to ensure that the text on the card fits within that white space so that the card is easy to read.



4. Use a different typeface in your business card. You can try using a sans serif typeface like Arial or Times New Roman or a serif font like Georgia. There are many typefaces available. You can choose the one that suits your business best. But don’t just pick any font! Make sure that the typeface is legible enough. That means that it should be big enough for you to read it easily. Don’t pick a typeface that is too small – it will be hard to read and people won’t be able to distinguish it from regular text. And avoid typefaces with multiple lines, as they can be difficult to read.



5. Keep it professional. Business cards are often seen as a personal touch so make sure your design is professional and not too flashy. If you’re designing for yourself, you might want to make a few variations and send them around to different friends or colleagues. But if you’re designing for others, it’s important to keep things simple. Just like your resume, business cards should be designed with an eye toward being easily readable and memorable. If your card has a lot of bells and whistles, it may be harder to get it read. And remember that you are selling yourself, not just your card. Don’t put your full name on it. Use your first and last names, initials, or even your company’s name. The idea is to let the recipient know who you are and what you do.



6. Don’t get carried away with business card design elements and graphics. Designing a business card can be quite a challenge, but you don’t have to go crazy and include all sorts of extraneous elements. In fact, the fewer the better. There are three things you need to keep in mind when designing a business card. First, make it readable. A card that is too fancy or complicated will probably not be read by anyone. Second, make sure that the information on the card is easy to find. Third, make sure that the information is legible, clear, and consistent.



7 . Make it memorable. Your business card should have a logo and a few key words or phrases that make it stand out from the rest of your contact information. Here are some guidelines for creating a memorable business card:

- Choose a design that is simple yet striking. Avoid a busy design that looks like it was designed by a kindergartner.

- Consider the colors you use. Don’t choose a color that is so bold that it overwhelms the card.

- Choose the right size and shape. Business cards can be small (typically 4×6 inches) or larger (8×10 inches). Make sure that the dimensions work well on both sides of the card.

- Think about the content. Make sure that the text is legible and stands out from the rest of the information on the card.

- Remember to keep it short. Business cards are generally meant to be short and sweet. Keep the information to two or three sentences, and use bullet points rather than paragraphs.



8. Use a layout that works. If you don't have time to create a custom business card, you can use one of the many online templates. You can also buy a pre-made template from a reputable vendor. It's important to choose a template that works well for you. In the real world, it's usually best to use the same template each time you need a new business card. This will help to ensure that your cards look professional.

From barter right?

But their service is really helping my business as a freelancer.

Their exchange rate for withdrawal is so sweet (around $572 to $575).

I have since stopped withdrawing to my dom account hence no more aboki service

LORDKing001:

Anyday anywhere. Why charging 575 per dollar when they're trying to help small businesses ?

Cameroon shout watch out for those outside the 18 box shooting from Gambia o.

Gambia is deadly with those shots

Meaning it is not ready.

Not showing anything.. it's showing thesame message as when I made payment. It's only shows that I have been vetted . Meaning confirmation for my payment.

Very likely ready for collection

Experience4u:
When I try tracking mine this is what comes up

"Application has been expired"

Expired? Then it should be ready for collection

I applied for my passport on the 9th of November 2021 and was hoping to receive a text message from immigration for me to come pick up my passport but I got nothing
So I decided to visit Thier office at Ikoyi and was told that my application was rejected .
They said I should wait for a text message from them, to know when to come to correct whatever reason the passport as rejected .
It's over a week now and no message from them . January ending will be three month that I applied .I am so frustrated because I need my passport urgently ..
Are they intentionally frustrating those that applied online and only went to Thier office for capturing??
Pls has anyone applied online within this time frame and has received Thier passport?
I just don't know what to do next .
