CareerRe: I Am Worried My O'level Isn't Good Enough For My Cv by Jarus(m): 6:46am On May 17, 2021
Auxtan:
Ever since I entered the university and now in my 400L currently doing my 6 months I.T in preparation for my final year (500L) I haven't gone through my qualifications intently until this morning.

Here is a problem I discovered, I made my way to the university with a 2 sittings 2014 O'level certificates in WAEC and NECO because I made a D7 in English in WAEC which is a compulsory credit subject required for admission I had to use my NECO result where I made C5 in English to back it up for a 2 sittings result though I recall they ended up using only my NECO for the O'level certificate screening that time.

Now I am concerned if this might be a problem when I graduate and decide applying for a top job. My CGPA currently is quite impressive but right now I am afraid my O'level might not be good enough due to the D7 I made in English in WAEC.

Please I need good words of advice from the experienced ones amongst us here.
Thank you
Go and write another one, preferably WAEC.

Some jobs and local scholarships require good grade in one sitting in o'level.

EducationRe: Accommodating An Insolent Girl by Jarus(m): 4:36am On Apr 28, 2021
daveyjay:
Good day NLers, please I need your take on this.
I'm a student in one of Nigeria's prominent public universities.

A girl decided to vie for admission in my school via the predigree programme but she had no accommodation. Because of the relationship between my parents and hers, I offered to take her in from January till now

I offered a roof over her head.

The first night she came, she slept on the floor and I wasn't okay with that, the following night, I told her she could have the bed, I vacated my bed and relegated myself to sleeping on the floor, we can't share same bed since she's neither my babe nor sister. And this sleeping routine has continued ever since then. The floor is my new bed

I gave her my spare key, uncensored access to my kitchen and everything within my legal occupancy.
Cut long story short, last week Tuesday she woke up, had her bath, ate then stepped out briefly, when she returned we were outta water. Tap water of course. She called my attention to it to which I remained calm. Meanwhile I hadn't eaten neither had I bathed. At noon, she came to me that she was hungry but couldn't cook due to unavailability of water, I then asked her if I am to fetch her water??!.

She said she was gonn take food stuff to her friend's place (upstairs) to cook.
I replied by asking how many of her friends had lacked water and brought food stuff to cook here??!


She got angry and took some money and left


That same Tuesday, I went to see Chelsea game, when I returned, I asked her if she cooked but she didn't dignify me with her attention talk more of a response.
I thought it was rude but considered it as one of the many tantrums of ladies

The following morning, she woke up, acted like I don't exist, couldn't greet... had her bathe and left. Returned, unlocked the door, walked in like I wasn't there, ate, left to her friend's place.

On Thursday she repeated the routine, I called her back when she was going out, I asked her if she considered me as her father, brother or boyfriend that she'd wake up and start throwing attitudes...
I made her understand that I am her benefactor.
Hardly did I finish before she left. She returned and continued in same path and that has continued till this very moment...

Last night she didn't sleep at home, when she returned in the morning, she unlocked the door with her spare, walked in, ate, brushed, dressed and walked out without a single word e come be like say I be ghost.

What I did, I changed the locks, took some stuff, sealed my door with strict instructions to the caretaker then moved to a friends place outside my lodge and I've been there ever since.

She has returned and has been calling my line but I've been ignoring...

Now, is my action too harsh or still in line??!
The right response in my view. You were patient enough with her.
EventsRe: First Time As An MC Of An Occasion: How Do I Go About It? by Jarus(m): 12:15pm On Apr 27, 2021
1. Watch Youtube video of other MCs in similar events

2. If it's a formal or semi-formal event, Google "how to emcee events" and select two quality content to read

3. List a couple of things you need to say and think through them - look at some of the peculiarities of the event

4. Speak with the host and ask for as much information as possible in advance - the setting, the audience, etc

5. Do dry run (face your bed or your sitting room, use biro as mic and rehearse) - do this on the eve of the actual event

6. Get to the event as early as possible so you are familiar with the setting before you are called up

Radautoworks, I think the WhatsApp issue should be looked into. It could help customers if there is an official WhatsApp line for communication that is duly attended to. That's if it does not go against company policy. Remember I have made this request before.

radautoworks:
I'm going to need a little more detail than that to address the problem.
I had a price quote from someone else in my hand. I complained about it on Twitter and someone recommended you here. I came here, pick your number from your profile and your staff picked the call.

First, they said you don't have a whatsapp number - not good for this kind of business which requires sending pictures of parts you want changed, listing a long list of items to buy, forwarding whatsapp message from mechanic etc.

That your staff gleefully insisted I can't send the messages by Whatsapp was already a turn off.

She asked me to send sms. I sent 3 text messages.

After like 10 minutes of waiting, I called to ask for progress. Alas, her response was "Let me check the phone message". Imagine, if I had not made follow-up call, I would just there, thinking my message request was being attended to.

She she said did't receive them. Later, she said she saw 1.


I called later snd she said I should send email. I sent the email.

Even email did not get acknowledgement for like 20 minutes.

When she confirmed she got the email, she said she would get back to me shortly.

I waited and waited, calling at intervals ( I needed to make decision urgently as I was about transferring money to the alternative supplier I was talking to)

Like 1 hour later, she called and was about calling the prices for me on phone - about 12 items o. Told her what was the point of email she asked me to send if she can't copy my email list, paste and just add prices in front of them, rather than dictating when I was inside Taxify and didn't have a pen.

Well, she scanned some rough paper document to me after another 40 minutes, half of which was either not responded to or illegible.

Not a good experience in customer service.

Okay thank you. I thought I saw a tweet where someone said that they should find him for urgent attention which i translated as the genesis of his glorious miracle through you guys. I wasn't really talking about press here...or may be I am mixing things up because there was another guy with similar case.

But all the same, may God continue to bless you for all the career help you have been giving Nigerians.

We need more people like you guys cos most times, Nigerians end up not having career mentor and this tend slow their growth.
There were a lot of "urgent attention, find him for us" requests including from governments but we didn't grant the requests as they were distracting and he was preparing for GRE then. We needed him to concentrate. We were capable of getting him the scholarship (with his academic qualifications) so we ignored other requests which would have distracted him.

So from discovering him in the village to paying for his test fees to getting this US PhD scholarship for him, everything handled by Michael Taiwo and team.

a bunch of Yoruba guys actually helped him when they heard the news. I am putting this out there for those who like to promote ethnic bigotry. and one of the people that helped him is Jarus of nairaland who owns JarusHub along with some other names I cant remember.
Thanks.

We really did not help when "when we heard of the news", we put it out to the press AFTER helping him. We only wanted to call the attention of the media to the sorry wasting talents in Nigeria, that was why we decided to reach out to the press to publicise his story. His story was exceptionally touching. At some point, we his interviewers were practically crying and the American on the panel was wondering why - she couldn't relate to the level of poverty oozing from this young man we were interviewing.

Alongside my childhood friend, Michael Taiwo, now a US-based engineer and sponsor of the Michael Taiwo Graduate School Application Scholarship, we organised a scholarship scheme in Oct last year (https://www.jarushub.com/2020-michael-taiwo-annual-gmat-gre-toefl-scholarships-application/) and he applied.

After series of screening, including tests, he was one of the finalists for the final interview stage. I was on the 3-man panel that interviewed him. It was a touching moment as we struggled to fight back tears during his interview as we got to know about his poor background. I narrated the experience in this tweet ( https://twitter.com/Jarushub/status/1324108985671274498) and Michael, my partner on the panel and the sponsor, also narrated his own here ( https://www.jarushub.com/rage-sadness-gratitude-and-hope-an-interview-to-remember/)

Of course, he was one of the 23 applicants that won the scholarship (https://www.mtscholarships.org/meet-the-winners/2020-winners/) from the over 1500 that applied (out of which over 600 made first class). The scholarship covered payment for his GRE test, English test, application fee to US schools, and as added later, payment for international passport for him.

His performance in all those tests got him this US admission with the guidance of Michael and another friend of Michael, Busayo.

That's the story.

We invited the press to cover it (not the other way round) because it was a very sorry situation - not that we heard about the case in the press and took over it.

Happy to be part of this and on the 3-man scholarship interview panel that first discovered him.

We struggled to fight back tears while interviewing him - his condition despite his brilliance.

We thank God we got him here.
