Hi Sis.
I feel your concerns. My advice.
Don't quit your current job, that's your ace.
Try an affordable online MBA that is both rich & internationally acclaimed.
Currently running mine with the American Business & Technology University. Google it and check out their Course contents. You can even key into a scholarship scheme that reduces cost by about 50% - 70%

Best of luck as you seek to improve yourself.

Major General Bako, a Course 24 regular intake of the Nigeria Defence Academy, after enlistment, progressed through the approved channels of promotions and postings until he became a Brigadier General in the Finance Corp where he served, not necessarily by choice since he had originally wanted to be in the Artillery Corps.

All along, the senior officer, who was the Director of Finance and Accounts at Defence Headquarters before his promotion, was reputed to have shunned matters of corruption and carried out his duties strictly in accordance with the dictates of whichever office he found himself at particular times.

He was said to have been very strict with the rules and when there was money remaining from projects or operations, he readily declared such to the chagrin of his superiors, colleagues or the establishment as the case may be.

Being the very strict Christian that he is, nobody found him stepping out of line on matters bordering on diverting funds and engaging in other self-enrichment dealings to the detriment of the Nigerian Army.

But in spite of his clean record in this regard, this fine officer soon found himself faced with retirement as a Brigadier General for reasons other than the fact that he has remained steadfast and righteous in the discharge of his duty.

Therefore, the unexpected elevation of Bako to the rank of Major General by President Goodluck Jonathan based on the recommendation of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Onyeabor Azubuike Ihejirika, in mid-year, the first of its kind in the annals of the Nigeria Army, has been severally described as a miracle, something only common in the civil society.

His promotion elicited tears and excitement from officers and soldiers because they said he is someone who will ensure everybody gets what is due to him or her no matter the rank.

It would be recalled that Bako who got promoted from Colonel to Brigadier General on July 11, 2006, was awaiting the collection of his retirement letter last December.

His fellow Brigadier-General colleagues spent only two years on that rank before being elevated to the rank of Major-General. His retirement letter was kept in abeyance and when a letter eventually came, it was that of a promotion.

My People,
GEJ gave this remark on FB celebrating 10 years of the Communication Revolution in Nigeria -
As we mark ten years of GSM mobile services this week, it is heartening that Nigeria has grown from less than a million lines to over 90 million lines with 70% of Nigerians having access to phones. It cost 150,000 Naira to get connected before 2001. Today it takes 100 Naira. This result came about from the liberalization of the communication sector which is what this administration plans to replicate in the power sector with the Roadmap to Power Sector Reforms. GEJ

What did MTN give us the faithful subscribers after 10 solid years -

Now you can register up to 10 family & friends numbers on the MTN Family Xpanded plan;
8 On-Net @ 17k/sec
1 Off-Net plus 1 US/Canada Number @ 20k/sec

           

MTN is this all you have to offer?
Well, we say Thank you.

Religion is not the problem, neither is division the Solution.

The problems from my own perspective are -

1.  The Divisive propensities of our Elites, who play on religion, ethnicity, etc to create confusion in other to fan their
    selfish ambitions in to flame.

2.  Ignorance and lack of enlightenment on the part of the masses, who believe anything they are instigated with.



The solutions, I believe can be, first, restructuring our political system along socio-cultural climes

For example, Nigeria should retain its Federal Republic status and geo-political sovereignty, with a President and Council of Ministers., Bi-camera legislation, Federal Judiciary and some of the items on the Exclusive legislative listing devolved to the regions.

Instead of 36 states, let's have 6 geo-political regions/provinces with a Governor-General as Head, a Unicameral legislature and Parliamentary system of Govt.

In each Region/Province, let's have 12 States along Socio-cultural lines with Governors as Head, just like we have them, now, only smaller.

And in each State, let's have 12 Local Governments with Mayors as Heads, like our Current LGAs, only now larger.

And 12 Districts/Municipalities/Counties within each Local Government headed by Chairmen, which will now be the most basic Governmental structure (grassroot) to the people with Town Halls and everyone knowing everybody.

Say, what do you all think?

Their are many many tins fore us to speech about in this claz, are not Oga Tisha give us plenty assignment.

1.  Oga Rasaki (Gomino atijo) are prone to call bridge, gada over poto-poto are here. (True/False)

2. You are all meant to wear Molue bus especially on Oshodi before before. (True/False)

3. Are you not all wonderment why Oga Zebrudaya are not yet been dashed Prof. chair for Conbridge or Osford?

4. Ok, Why shall I not shy when people are speeching plenty fone on TV Talk Show. Discuss.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits
in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
- Helen Keller

You are a free being, girl friend.  

If you believe you are worth more than being a victim to a coward whose ego has been so overly punctured by his environment and who has recently come to the conclusion of finding a release in taking it out on his supposed 'loved one' who has also failed to understand him, you.
Make up your mind, abandon him in his sorry state, and flow with the wind; but you would have created a monster on the loose.

Else, if you believe you can truly love this guy, and not taunt him.
If you can be his refuge and home, and not his mirror.
If you can command his respect for you and not demand it.
If you can make him to be confident in himself and his achievements.
If you can make him important before others, and play your role down.
If you can make him an entrepreneur and not an employee.
If you can sacrifice your life for his.
Then you've gained a soul and made a better husband, father, brother, son, neighbor and citizen.

More so, you've created Love. Be wise, Sister.

Life is not measured by what we get, but truly by what we give.

Can someone explain to me like I am a 5 year old - What Allied Troops are doing in Libya?

When there was ethnic cleansing in Rwanda, where was the Allied Troop?

Liberia Crisis, Sierra Leone Crisis? Where were they?

Now, because of Oil, they are in Libya?

Can we see Self-Gut-Interest?

I heard on STV News today that N5 billion was set aside in this year's budget for the completion of that Sango bridge.
Abeg, Quantity Surveyors, Civil Engineers and Architects in the House is that bridge worth 1/5th of that amount?

Haba, these Guys are blatantly slapping NIGERIANS.

Everyday for the thief o; One day certainly for the owner of the House.

THAT OIL SPILL
The BP oil well in the Gulf of Mexico is a disaster to us all wherever we live on the planet and more than likely will have an effect on our lives for years to come, either environmentally or economically. It is now supposed to be capped and safe (fingers crossed) but if this engineer is right, this is truly a scary scenario! Although his story (unverified) is somewhat dated, it makes interesting reading,
"Heard you mention the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico this morning, and you (and most everyone else except maybe US talk show host George Noory) are totally missing the boat on how big and bad a disaster this is.
First fact, the original estimate was about 5,000 gallons of oil a day spilling into the ocean. Now they're saying 200,000 gallons a day. That's over a million gallons of crude oil a week!
I'm an engineer with 25 years of experience. I've worked on some big projects with big machines. Maybe that's why this mess is so clear to me.
First, the BP platform was drilling for what they call deep oil. They go out where the ocean is about 5,000 feet deep and drill another 30,000 feet into the crust of the earth. This it right on the edge of what human technology can do. Well, this time they hit a pocket of oil at such high pressure that it burst all of their safety valves all the way up to the drilling rig and then caused the rig to explode and sink. Take a moment to grasp the import of that. The pressure behind this oil is so high that it destroyed the maximum effort of human science to contain it.
When the rig sank it flipped over and landed on top of the drill hole some 5,000 feet under the ocean.
Now they've got a hole in the ocean floor, 5,000 feet down with a wrecked oil drilling rig sitting on top of is spewing 200,000 barrels of oil a day into the ocean. Take a moment and consider that, will you!
First they have to get the oil rig off the hole to get at it in order to try to cap it. Do you know the level of effort it will take to move that wrecked oil rig, sitting under 5,000 feet of water? That operation alone would take years and hundreds of millions to accomplish. Then, how do you cap that hole in the muddy ocean floor? There just is no way. No way.
On the longer-term side of things, there are signs that this largest oil drilling catastrophe could also become the worst natural gas and climate disaster. The explosion has released tremendous amounts of methane from deep in the ocean, and research shows that methane, when mixed with air, is the most powerful (read: terrible) greenhouse gas — 26 times worse than carbon-dioxide. Our warming planet just got a lot hotter.
The only piece of human technology that might address this is a nuclear bomb. I'm not kidding. If they put a nuke down there in the right spot it might seal up the hole. Nothing short of that will work.
If we can't cap that hole that oil is going to destroy the oceans of the world. It only takes one quart of motor oil to make 250,000 gallons of ocean water toxic to wildlife. Are you starting to get the magnitude of this?
We're so used to our politicians creating false crises to forward their criminal agendas that we aren't recognizing that we're staring straight into possibly the greatest disaster mankind will ever see. Imagine what happens if that oil keeps flowing until it destroys all life in the oceans of this planet. Who knows how big of a reservoir of oil is down there.
Not to mention that the oceans are critical to maintaining the proper oxygen level in the atmosphere for human life.
Unless God steps in and fixes this.  No human can.  You can be sure of that!

@ opsydudu

So I thought too. But apart from the norms of procreation, entertainment & companionship

What is the true use of sex in marriage? Is it meant for more than this 3.
Why is it that some upon marriage blossom into goodness while others crash into obscurity?
Some stumble on eternal principles and by it become succesful.

@Girl846

How very relevant?

Great Venture.

Keep up the good work.

The relevance of sex in marriage?

Marriage na for sex now, abi na vice versa. )

Actually, I've been at a lecture by Golden Gem and I've heard about salient principles that can revolutionize our understanding of marriage.
I should be there.

Thanks Snazzy twilight, keep it up.

What did I cook?

Does the situation in this country afford anyone the time or resources to really cook anything reasonable or worthy of mention on net.

Things are so 'damn' nutted up that it's ridiculous engaging in that past time - cooking; what we mostly do now is eat-out or allow the pot to generate something eat-able.

In the genealogy of Jesus Christ as reflected in the Books of Matthew and Luke.
Jesus was reputed to have descended from the line of King David through Joseph his father.

If Jesus was in fact begotten through immaculate conception, how come his birth-line is traced
through the man that was not acclaimed as his actual Dad?

Was Jesus actually begotten through immaculate conception or is Joseph the carpenter his true Dad ?

Hi Guys,

The NOUN stuff is real and improving by the day.
A whole lot of resources has been put on the line, so they have nothing to do but to succeed.

My inquiry from the Lagos Study Centre says the Admission process will be through by September ending.

Interestingly, their site is going through upgrading and maybe this development will make them extend their sale of Application forms.

You all need to see the number of people buying forms at ECOBANK, VI branch; it's as if that's the last chance for those who have given up.

So, guys, let's encourage them along. Constructive criticism is appreciated by them too.

Remember, what starts bad, often ends well.[flash=200,200][/flash]

Takea folks.

Thanks all,

Actually, I 've been monitoring the NOUN site for a while, and a couple of weeks back saw the announcements.

Most of your questions are answered on the NOUN website - So, kindly check it out.

The real question is - National Universities Commission though list the NOUN as a recognized federal university, it does not seem to accredit any of its courses except for Chemistry.

Can this issue be cleared please.

Thanks once again
