Three occupants of a Hyundai car with Lagos registration number FST 779DG, said to be returning from a night party narrowly escaped death in an auto crash which occurred in Osogbo in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Punch gathered that a lady in the car, sustained a minor injury as the vehicle which was on top speed hit the kerb, somersaulted and landed on a stationary Volkswagen Golf car parked by the road side.

Two other occupants of the yellow car, were said to have also came out of the car without any injury.

Residents of Ayetoro Junction area along the Osogbo-Ikirun Expressway thronged the area to take photograph of the scene and uploaded it on the Internet.

okay lemme go staight to my transcripts:

*my head was so good ehn.. (ori ere ni mo gbe ni ojor yhen) God position one old woman infront of me way no fit speak english rara...I had to interpret what the V.o was saying to her which gave me favour self

alright lemme start

Me: good morning
V.o: good morning can I have your passport
me : passed it to her
V.o: who is sponsoring you
me: my dad and my uncle(still smiling)
V.o: okay why swosu
me: ( I had practiced what to say at this point but bro I forgot all I had to say in this category..ko funny rara #all them winches got me oo just answered anyhow) I choose swosu cos it met the educational standard and I got to know about the university from my councellor at educational usa(pointing upstairs) at this point the v.o raised her hand and waw using me to talk to one of her colleagues for like 2 min leaving to die in fear...after the whole serere she turned to her computer typed some yama yama and faced me and passed me the almighty white paper at tgis point I was deaf mhen did not listen to all she had to say again was just happy...

1. Pray oo...very hard self..my mama and papa and some of my friends prayed ooo..in my case no long discussion or question just had the vwhite paper sharp sharp..if them deny me ehn...I for go wash my head for elegushi.

2.dress like a student..not too shabby and not too much
3. Staple all your documents together and print the original documents oo
4.don't ever go white your phone oo for real except to have 1k to spare
5. Smile with the v.o act like you know the v.o and has been living with him/her
6. Find a way to ad eac( education advising center inshort go there one Wednesday before your date it is free 9am -1pm..you will learn a lot about visa issues) if you say eyec they can never deny you because narh them them initiate am narh...they no go ask for your id card at all


so that it sorry for my story oo just thanking God

Okay you are definitely facing this senerio of your boss making unpleasant remarks about your duties even thou you know in your heart of heart that there is no other way to play the card more than you already have...yes yes you filk dismay'd angry sometimes abi...no worried i will give you brief tips on how to win your boss love... (please forgive my grammertical blundersl)..



[b][/b]Kay lets get on with it..


Be Confident

Be confident and display confidence in your work. If it’s in your boss’ character to irritate staff, nothing can be done about it. He or she will use every chance to pull you down, sometimes in person, sometimes in public. No matter the circumstances, try always to never lose your self-confidence. Do not be arrogant, but display professional etiquette and confidence.


Focus On Being The Best

Always be professional in your work environment. Wear the look of professionalism in office, irrespective of your opinion about your boss. Take his or her words as a part of your job and get them done accurately. Carry out instructions as your duty and never get into judging the personality and attitude of your boss. Display your expertise without arrogance, do not let your boss’s behavior distract you from achieving your goals. Focus on activities that position you to lead and produce measurable results. In a subtle way, outdo an annoying boss with your obvious knowledge. Aim to highlight your expertise and deter an annoying boss from prodding you any further. If your expertise is clear and highly respected, an annoying boss will back off, knowing that pursuing a petty issue with you can make them look stupid if they cannot keep up with your points.



Be Submissive

No matter how frustrated you may seem to be, try as much as possible to stay calm and submissive. Even if the annoying boss uses verbal abuse or ridicules you, remain calm. Never be emotional in tackling with such a behavior of your boss. Do not react, but simply acknowledge your boss’ power. If you react wildly in this situation, it will be a challenge to the ego of your boss. Your emotional reaction will inspire him or her to do further attacks on you. If you are calm and repose, your boss will not find any means to continue abuses and criticism. Do not confront your boss when he or she shouts at you. Instead, find a means to discuss your shortfalls with your boss later on. Discuss with your boss about what he or she expects out of you and seek his or her advice for improving on your performance. This will please your boss about your willingness to learn from your mistakes.

Be Transparent

Transparency will make others know that you have no hidden agenda and they will always support you each time the nagging boss speaks against you. Stay open and honest. Discuss any issue pertaining to your workplace openly and avoid secrecy because it will only give room for doubts. So also avoid gossips and bickering about anyone because it will definitely create wrong impressions about your personality.

Whenever you feel let down or your boss makes you feel so, instead of sulking, think of your achievements in the past. Tell yourself, “If I could do it then, I can do it even now”. The most successful people have had to endure a life of hardships. Who knows, these experiences might carve a successful person out of you! So, think of the hardships that you’ve had to face in the past and ask yourself to face the present with firmness. If you are the only one being nagged by your boss, then you need to take a look at your own attitude and performance


Always smile

You may say this is foolish but putting a smile on when your boss comes around will definitely give you an edge....so start smiling not laugh oo...else you'll be calling for more sh*t...


AlwayS do the high service skill

Yh..you read that right be the boss over your boss correect his mistakes maturely and you will get promoted soon....

Know ur boss's weak point

Everyone has even God in hia majesty has his weak spot get to know that of your boss use it wisely and you are IN..


DO YOUR JOB DELIGHTEDLY


no vex i beg i gatha go to work catch you later...


Yeah feel free to add yours...

Adamsdelrio:
I'm sure the OP isn't talking about Shoprite bread.

Lol..all join...i queue for shoprite sweet white bread daily its always survival of the fittest oo...but yes shoprite bread too is hazardous to our health if taken exersively

I had a friend who lost 14 pounds recently and was really proud about it (as you might imagine). I jokingly asked her “what was your secret?”.

“It was simple”, she said, “I just stopped eating bread”.

This would normally surprise people because bread is considered sacred in our society. It is even closely associated with many cultures’ heritages and beliefs. Yet bread is not the best source of nutrients and it has been known for some time in the scientific community that bread makes you fat and is not among the best foods for weight loss.

Bread is wrongly placed at the bottom of our food pyramid which gets passed around all our schools despite many respected health professionals claiming bread and other sources of grains are unnecessary and potentially harmful. Here are some alarming facts about bread.
1. Whole Grain Bread Can Spike Blood Sugar Levels More Than A Snickers Bar


Whole grain bread does not actually have whole grains in it. Flour is formed in a process where grains are broken down into a powder form like flour.  Since it is in a powder form, the body can rapidly digest the bread and let it enter the bloodstream as glucose. This raises the fat-producing hormone known as insulin. Whole grain bread even has a higher G.I (Glycemic Index) score than most candy bars such as snickers.[1]

When blood sugar goes up quickly, it can actually come crashing down just as fast causing us to get desperately hungry. This causes a perpetual cycle of eating, getting hungry then eating again.  This is the downside of an the high carbohydrate diet that many misinformed authorities try to peddle us.

As a resolution of this cycle, some scientists suggest eating a carb-restricted diet if a person suffers from diabetes or if they are overweight.[2]

Conclusion: Since the whole grains in the bread are broken down into a small refined powder, it is absorbed quickly by the body causing a spike in blood sugar levels. This why bread has such a high G.I score and it’s exactly why it scores higher than many candy bars.




2. Bread Has Lots of Gluten


The main ingredient in bread is generally wheat (although there are variations of bread). Wheat contains a protein called gluten. You may have heard of people being “celiac” or having “gluten intolerance”. There is evidence to suggest that a significant percentage of the population is sensitive to gluten.[3]

Gluten has glue-like properties which gives it that elastic qualities which allow you to stretch the material when you are baking or kneading bread (perfect for making cupcakes!).

Although gluten can be great for baking, studies show there many adverse effects including bloating, stool inconsistency, damage to the wall of the intestinal tract and tiredness.

Even more alarming is that gluten has been linked with schizophrenia and can be addictive as certain opiates.[4]

Conclusion: Most bread contains gluten which can be harmful to your health. To find out if gluten is affecting you, simply remove it from your diet for 30 days and then reintroduce it. You should see a difference in your general mood. In many peoples’ experience, they report being less sluggish.  If you’d like to do this, see our gluten free bread recipes.

3. Bread Contains Other Harmful Substances

If you ever looked at the ingredients listed on the back of a packet of bread, you may wonder if you need a degree in chemistry to work out what is in it. Most bread contains sugar or high fructose corn syrup.

This sugar, the grains and the many other substances will send your pancreas into overdrive when you swallow them. A lot of these chemicals are preservatives that can stay lodged in your stomach for years.

Conclusion: Most bread has sugar in it which causes your blood sugar to spike even higher. When your blood sugar goes up, your body has to compensate by storing that extra energy in the form of fat.

4. Bread is Low in Essential Nutrients


Even if we turn a blind eye to the problems with bread and focus on the nutrition, we are left disappointed. Bread is not as nutritious as other sources of food such as fresh vegetables, fruit, fish, eggs or meat.

Even whole wheat grain bread is disappointing on the nutrition front. Not only is it low in nutrients, it also reduces the absorption of other real food. It does this for two reasons. First, the phytic acid found in whole wheat blocks minerals such as iron, zinc and calcium from being absorbed.[5] Secondly, since gluten damages the intestinal lining, less nutrients are absorbed.

Grains do not even have all the essential amino acids that humans need for muscle building and maintenance (unlike bananas which are an excellent source of amino acids).

Conclusion: Bread was traditionally a poor man’s food and is not as nutritious as it is made out to be. In fact, the grains in bread block nutrient absorption in the body. Instead of focusing on bread for your primary meal, it would be more efficient to eat other foods.

5. Whole Wheat Raises Bad Cholesterol

In many studies, whole wheat bread has been found to increase the small dense LDL cholesterol by 60% over a 12 week period (Small dense LDL has been associated with heart disease).

Cholesterol is a controversial topic because of the myths surrounding fat. We are led to believe it is fat that causes “bad” cholesterol (another debatable topic) when in fact the culprit could well be wheat.

Conclusion: Wheat has been found to raise LDL cholesterol and most breads contain wheat.[6]

Bottom Line:

Bread is one of the most consumed products in the western world. It is everywhere you look. It is in burgers, sandwiches, wraps and bread rolls. We are often told that whole grain bread is the healthiest part of the day but this could not be further from the truth. Bread in general is just a poor source of nutrients when compared to fresh vegetables, fruit, meat and fish.

The main problem with bread is the fact that wheat has undergone such a change in the last 50 years and our bodies have not adapted to it. Even though bread dominates whole shopping cart aisles, there are many good reasons not to pick it up at all.
