Career / Re: Going For Masters Or Getting A UTME Form by Kalaba(m): 12:45pm On Feb 28
Love800:
After going for tech training, any need for polytechnic diploma again?
What's the difference between cert and diploma?
I specified 'Academic' because, when OP wishes to further their education in computing and related fields, the tech training and work experience alone may not be enough for admission. However, with a diploma in Computing, they stand a better chance alongside their work.
Career / Re: Going For Masters Or Getting A UTME Form by Kalaba(m): 9:02am On Feb 28
Bro, there are many tech training institutes available, and I recommend you choose a specific niche in tech that interests you and enroll in it. As a teacher, you have the flexibility to complete this training within six months or less.

At this point, pursuing a master’s degree or a new UTME may not be the most practical choice. If you’re able to fund those options, you could instead invest in a tech training program, which would likely provide more immediate and relevant benefits.

Once you’ve completed your tech training and started earning a better income, you might consider pursuing a diploma at a polytechnic if you feel the need for an academic certificate as a backup. However, it’s worth noting that an academic certificate may not even be necessary given the opportunities in the tech field.

Honestly, I’ve been seeing a lot of people throwing insults at this guy, but I have to say my experience was completely different. When I transacted with him, everything went smoothly. He was polite, responsive, and delivered exactly what I ordered without any issues, and he has the fastest delivery I have ever had, despite us not even being in the same state. I paid in the evening, and I received my item (a Garmin Lily watch for my wife) the next day by 4pm. It’s surprising to see such a negative response from a lot of people here when our interaction was positive. It’s so unfortunate that I cannot send Voice notes to NL, otherwise you would have heard him speak in the most politest of words and tones. Additionally, he even balanced the amount of the waybill when I said it was too high for me and I could only pay a certain amount. Finally, he even gave me a one week period to use the watch, and if I’m not satisfied with it, I should return it and he would gladly refund my money (and I believe him). I think it’s important to recognize the fact that everyone can have different experiences, and sometimes the negative comments can overshadow the good ones. All in all, Futurefocus is a nice person, it is possible your approach to him was faulty or you simply did not understand him.
I'm surprised to see not even a single person out of the many that have transacted with him have come to put in a word or two. I believe coming to his defence is as good as a review for him, and I also believe we should all come out to do that. Futurefocus, keep on doing what you do and keep on being who you are, may God bless you, your family and your hustle. I look forward to doing business with you again.

I have transacted with Futurefocus as well. Guy doesn't even waste time with his price, I got some Jabra headphones from him earlier this year at the cost of 20k or so. The headphones are still serving as I talk to you, in fact the cost for a new Microsoft recommended jabra headphone is around $200 or so, I didn't know this until a colleague got a remote job, and the company sent him the equipments including the headphone. But this was a headphone I got for 20k from FutureFocus.

Hafyz23:
I have had it before and as some people have mentioned , take warm water ginger/garlic. Steaming helps a lot too. Anything to drain it and don't force it by blowing your nose ,it will aggravate the pain.
Running/ jogging helped me a lot.
And the most important thing for me then was I was able to identify the triggers/allergens and staying away from them. It's been more than 2years since I last had it. Sorry ehn

so, on point. this can be painful aswear, in fact my face then will feel like falling off from my head while jogging in the morning to catch up the bus.

I can see many people trying to cajole you, coercing you to get their products. Well I'm not here to spoil anybody's business, but OP, the illness is not a big deal, other than the pain and discomfort, there's nothing to panic. Just visit the hospital, and don't sel-medicate please. Even the most substandard hospital will treat you well. An X-ray maybe required to ascertain the level of things, other than that, its just normal laboratory tests and then simple prescription

Don't be deceived

Thank you very much sir...what medication were you prescribed pls?
Actually, I can't remember. I know I did face abi nose X-ray, and the result was fine...
I can also remember that I didn't take any injection, just some tabs, antibiotics or so.

my advice is, whether you are taking normal cold medicine, just stick with drinking hot water, pain relief, and massaging your face with warm water always, especially the bones around your eye, nose area.

It sinusitis/Sinus infection. A Google search would help you understand the infection. It been over three plus weeks now I've been battling this infection.

The first time it started over three weeks ago my mom rushed me to a healthcare centre and that where I was told I've frontal sinusitis. My head seems as it it wants to explode... The pain is out of this world, it feels as if something is breathing in my forehead that is causing extreme pain. I was given antibiotic injection for three days and some drugs..... The drugs just relief me of the pain for some hours then it starts again.

So as the doctor told me and with my research, this infection is chronic (long term) and it been taking a big part of my life. I'm just 20 and I don't know my this is happening to me ... I've been living on pain relief/anti-inflammatory drugs for the past three weeks now .. I'm confused I don't know what to do.

It 2Am now and I can't even sleep😢😢😢😢the pain

Guys pls have you had the infection before?? How did you cure it. Mods pls move to frontpage I really need answers🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I experienced sinusitis earlier this year and initially mistook it for a common cold. My telemedicine provider prescribed some cold medicine, but after a week, my symptoms worsened. I went to the hospital, where the doctor diagnosed me with sinusitis and prescribed medication. Within about a week, I was good.

Take these tips, it helped me

While taking your medication, have warm water in a bowl and a clean hand towel. Use the towel to gently massage your face, especially the bones of nose area, intermittently throughout the day.

Drink Warm Water even though you might be tempted to drink cold water, try to stick with warm water.
Mask Up, the environment is hazy and dusty

Lastly, don't worry too much about it being chronic. My doctor explained that if I had sought treatment earlier, it could have been resolved within days. Even without treatment, sinusitis can self-heal, although it takes longer.

@ kikilove goshen26 how much did you eventually pay?

I'm seeing 31k on their website and it shows I can pay with my card.

But I'm seeing people online say the price is 91k and I cant pay with naira card
The amount you see (31k or so) is the actual amount. and YES, you can pay with your Naira card (Zenith or GTB), but to be on a safe side, use a virtual card to pay, that's what I used to help my colleagues make their payments.

Proudman1:
So, I received a good amount of money into my first bank account.

And they automatically freeze the account.

Something less than 100k.

So, I went to the bank to find out what the issue was about and they said I need to do KYC documentation.

My NIN and BVN are already with this people and I've been using this same account since 2015!

Ok, let me do the KYC na, they say my name doesn't match and I need to swear affidavit.

I went to court to do affidavit and then they submitted it and ask me to come back next week Wednesday.

The thing sha weak me because I no get any money to sustain myself till that Wednesday.

But the worst is the utility bill requirements. The support ask me to come with NEPA bill. I told her that I stay in the university hostel.

The next thing she said was that I should go to the university management and collect their NEPA bill and bring it to them shocked

I was like how in hell will that be possible? 🤷

Right now, I don't know what step to take sha. Because who for school management go gree give student school NEPA bill to go complete the student's bank account?
Use ussd code to transfer your money to another account.

I had same issue with fbn months back, the contact person was telling me some information was not constant and that they can get someone from the court to do affidavit, I wasn't having the time, besides how will my information not be constant, I stormed out of the bank thinking how to creat time again, then I thought of trying ussd, voom it went, I transfered everything to my regular account. No time

Family / Re: Why Do Nigerians Have These Kinds Of Names? by Kalaba(m): 1:34pm On Dec 01, 2023
When you go up North, precisely Southern Kaduna, Plateau, and parts of Nasarawa, the Christian locals bear the first name of their father as a surname. Unlike most Southerners who bear either the name of their great-grandfather or grandfather as their surname, this part prefers to bear the first name of their father as a surname.
For instance; Mr. John Bitrus marries Lydia Bako, and their children will bear names like Matthew John, Hilda John, Euphemia John, and so forth.

When Matthew John marries Jemimah Yusuf, their children will bear names like Emmanuel Matthew, Sunday Matthew, Blessing Matthew etc.

In southern Nigeria, the reverse is the case, surname in most cases is usually the name most recognized in a family, not necessarily that of the direct father of the child. Some times, a family can bear a surname even up to the 5th, or 6th generation.

Relixy2k:
This number 093011467 called me with claim that she is from First bank that I have an interview for a Receptionist role with email Adeola.Abass@firstbanknigeria.com and copied adeolu.adebari@firstbanknigeria.com and also omowole.p.orimoloye@firstbanknigeria.com. They use real first bank domain address and official signatures. However, the address is 35 kakawa street lagos island as against the real 35 marina road, lagos island which is the genuine address of First bank in marina. They sent a well addressed mail to me for front desk office role. Name on true caller for 093011467 is ikechukwu. Kindly take note when you get invite from them.
So what exactly makes you conclude it's a scam?

The address is within same locality as marina, besides its not easy to create a mail address with the correct firstbank domain extension.

What you need to do are:

1. Ask yourself if you did apply for such role, shared cv with friends, families or outsourcing agencies.

2. Confirm the correct way firstbank staff email address is organised

3. Take your time and visit the said address before the proposed date, and confirm what kind of activities do take place there

Thank you

The minimum amount of credits to withdraw is 2

If you refer a user you get 3 credits not 300

Its in the process of withdrawing, the system converts the 3 credits to N300 and sends to your bank account. You will be credited in less than 5 minutes

You can withdraw anytime and any amount you want

I hope this answers your question

thanks.
I still want to know, what is meant by this referral, is it when the person I've referred completes all registration and verification that it will count for me?
cos I asked two guys to download it last night, I'm yet to get any credit. please clarify

The main point he was trying to state here is that the op was lying and he is not asking you for the advantages of the app
They definitely paid you and him to come here and advertise their app which is not bad but lying to back up your claim is very bad and misleading.

Dangote cannot fill his fuel tank with 30k and charge 500 naira to Carry you from ikeja to vi even if you are his papa.
So the driver went through the hell of downloading the app, registration and verification & everything just to come and charge 500 naira for a trip of 1500 naira plus

LIE WITH SENSE





Lol.
Its funny how you guys easily jump to the conclusion, everything is lies...
In your opinion, someone who buys fuel at cutthroat price, should not give a lift for free or at a lower price, because he has to recover the fuel money from people entering his car?
I use the app to Ikeja whenever I can, besides the person I follow works at opebi, so it's easy for me, rather than taking Danfo to along, and start navigating to opebi.
I would've asked you to download the app and see how it works, but of course everything is a lie, or I have been paid also to do the review
