Congrats

Jubal01:
Thank you all. I'm very humbled honestly.
for those asking about the pay, it's not much o! Just #110k.
about the experience, i have been teaching since 2011. It was just last year that i resigned to take care of my ailing parents. I remember asking for help here but many people ridiculed me and called me a fake arse. Thank God both of them are hale and hearty now and they both blessed me 4 all my sacrifices towards them.
My advice, if u have the opportunity to offer help to someone on nairaland, pls do it. Not all pple here are faking it. I will do my own giveaway when i get my first full salary to the first 5 people that will quote this my comment. IT'S A PROMISE.

Very misleading headline... it´s normal that when a captain is substituted, he gives the band to the player nearest to him to pass on to the appropriate person, if that person is far away from him at the time of the substitution. Doesn´t mean Ronaldo refused to wear if.

U make sense jawe

Thanks in anticipation

Good

Which Dstv station is gonna show it pls

I will like to discuss about something I've discovered to be one of the *biggest challenges* many singers face which is called
*STAGE FRIGHT*.

Everyone , no matter how good they are experiences STAGE FRIGHT!
It is called *FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN* just because you don't know what the _outcome_ and _reception_ from the side of the audience would look alike

But the truth of the matter is, ur *CONFIDENCE* can be _established_ because *strong sense of ego* is a necessity in order to be a successful singer.

Having watched reality shows closely to some extent, I've discovered that performance is not always judged based on *vocal dextrity of singers* but to a large extent based on the CONFIDENCE LEVEL of the singer wch is often termed the *_STAGE PRESENCE*_

Stage Presence is the state where your *words, facial expressions, body languages, tone of your voice, emotions, imagination* and soul are all fully engaged in conveying the message
Note the words being "enboldened"
Like I told u earlier, ur confidence can be established!!!

I will give *you 3 keys* to establish ur confidence level and you will start singing leaving *fear behind*

The 1st is P1.
The 2nd is P2
The 3rd is P3.

If you can work with these (3Ps)pefectly, you will put your fear on *attention diet* for life
P1: PRACTICE
P2: PERFORMANCE
P3: PERFECTION.

_PRACTICE_ :
The truth is no matter how much we dodge being diligent, the PRIZE MUST BE PAID..

A man rightly said "You become an expertise in whatsoever you've chosen as a career after you have spent @ least *10000* *hours* of drilling yourself in that particular field of interest".
So the question is have u spent up to 10000hrs?
The basic reason why singers get nervous is simply because they lack the *technical know-how*
It is highly expedient for a singer to gain knowledge day in day out through *workshops, trainings, meditation techniques, relaxation exercises* in order to gain mastery *CONSISTENCY* is the key. No shortcut to this!

(2). PERFORMANCE_
Let me start with this. Confidence does not grow in a vacuum
Over the years, I've always told my students to take the *risk* of being *LIKED, CELEBRATED, REJECTED OR CRITICISED* in order to truly grow more confidence as a singer
Have you discovered that when you sing in your shower or closet, you sing with so much passion, enthusiasm, greater range and better tonality?
But when u get in front of an audience, u start fidgeting.. Y?
Your confidence won't grow until you begin to perform LIVE in front of audience be it on stage, club, church, studio.. etc
*So I will admonish: START LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITY TO SING. IF NOT, U CAN KEEP AUDITIONING AND ASK FOR FEEDBACK*
The truth is until you find a platform to perform what you've practiced in front of people no matter how few..
Your confidence won't grow enough!

(3) _PERFECTION_
I understand in many situations, making mistake infront of an audience can cause serious consequences.
But there's nothing that can get the heart of the audience like a singer *staying flexible*, *relaxed and present in the face of error.*
Such an act wins even the toughest audience
Here are some basic techniques to enhance your perfection:

(1). *Keep moving to what is next:* There's always a tendency for any singer to fall back after faltering in a performance..
Pls note my word: *Move to what is next*
*Make note of what went wrong and move forward with greater confidence*

(2). SING AND SHARE:
Find a song in line with ur *core abilities*, sing it and seeking opportunities to share them, most importantly with those that are ahead of you be it in *skill or experience*
That suggests that u have someone like a mentor/mentors that can always be there to *sharpen you up*

(3). THINK POSITIVELY: Hmmmm... I can't overemphasize this
You've got to *BELIEVE IN YOURSELF*
If u keep waiting for people to tell you about you, my dear.. u won't move an inch. So I reinstate: *BELIEVE IN YOURSELF* No one else's opinion matter than yours. Believe u can do it�. Your skill level is never enough but what you process in my mind is the key!!
So *THINK POSITIVELY!!!*

I will like to conclude this way:

Stage Fright is a cycle.
First, your body is siezed by the storm of uncomfortable feelings.
So it escapes to your head
Now, your mind races, you talk/sing faster.
You make less sense, you notice u making less sense, so you speed up, you forgot to breath, now there's less oxygen getting into ur brain, adrenaline is zooming through your system, you start making lesser sense

The truth is human beings or people pick up and mimic the pace you are singing/talking. If you are anxious, breathless and gulping, your audience feel agitated right along with you. Likewise, when you are calm and centered, your audience will be able to listen from a more relaxed and present state. So I submit to you, *SLOW DOWN TO BODY TIME*
In conclusion, confidence will come with your commitment to move past your *fear and doubt*
You will take more risks and when you stumble, you will get back up and *press on* having learnt from the experience

Confidence grows with CONSISTENT PRACTICING➡ PERFORMING IN FRONT OF PEOPLE➡ PROCESSING THE FEEDBACK AND INVESTING IN TOOLS THAT ENHANCE UR BETTERMENT IN BECOMING THE BEST OF YOURSELF

Wisest1:
Npower can disturb it.

the two cannot go along. you must settle for one. the IPPIS system will fish u out and u will lose both jobs. infact no federal establishment will hire you again.

my advice, concentrate on the Federal job and leave NPOWER for the less privileged

Still working on the two just through with NYSC

please, can npower disturb my federal government job opportunities. can the two go along

Amthol:

You are a major Life Science specialist and therefore any life science will do you can even do PGD and switch to public health
So it all depends on what you want.
