EzeIgboNwaChukwu:Ignore them. Life in Delta is even harder compared to some places in Lagos. It's hard to save N30K. Even the government know the truth, but they'll like to hide the truth. |
EzeIgboNwaChukwu:The money is not saveable. You talked as if you don't live in Nigeria. There's inflation everywhere. They pay house rent, transport fare and feed themselves. N30K is N1000 daily. They didn't even give them a breathing space to do other things. Head teachers and principals wouldn't even allow N-Teach beneficiaries to rest. If they failed to come to work, they would report them immediately. I would have agreed with you if the money was given in bulk to them. |
Johnson5258:Are you sure you read the write-up very well? Hmmm. |
ademijuwonlo:it's not true. Most of them don't have other jobs. Nteach beneficiaries went to work everyday. They didn't even have time for themselves, let alone setting up businesses. And most of the beneficiaries were N-Teach. One of them even committed suicide in Ibadan on hearing that they would go in this June. |
Tladybukky:NPower.fmhds.gov.ng |
truthhurts2:Nobody can save from N30k monthly. They go to work, eat and feed themselves. The government should have given the money in bulk and tell the beneficiaries to use it to set up businesses. Do you know that if you don't go to work, they'll quickly put you on hold for a month, after which if your reply to their query doesn't convince them enough, they'll sack you. Those that started business connived with them, or probably they had businesses before they got NPower, and they also gave them some money every month, to avoid being sacked. Some used theirs to complete Master's and PhD programmes. Don't you know that N30K is N1000 everyday? If given in bulk is a huge amount of money, but if given as a stipend of N30K, it's not saveable. |
hotplate:That's where you belong. |
Seunaj05:She has not even paid them June and July stipends, yet she quickly announced that their tenure has come to an end. For batch B, they started in August 2018 and will complete their tenure in July, 2020. Some were not paid their February, March and April stipends. That woman is a crook. |
Kingpele:Deziani Madueke is not like this woman. In fact, the corruption she's accused of, may not be totally true. Madueke volunteered to come back home and defend those allegations, but the Nigerian Government told the British Government to try her in London. What then do you want her to do? Besides, Madueke, as Petroleum Minister, was resourceful and hardworking. In the process, she stepped on many toes who wanted to continue shortchanging this country through shoddy deals. The woman is not a saint, but she's not the same as this disaster woman. |
GideonOmach:Yes. EBSU even needs the transcript before the admission, while UNN will ask you to pay N10,000 for the transcript, after admission. They'll then go to your Alma mater and get the transcript. NYSC certificate is not compulsory, but I was asked to present it at EBSU. You can choose federal and state universities as first and second choices. However, no second choice university offers the candidate admission into medicine. Candidates who may choose them as first choice are usually numerous. So, making a university a second choice cannot guarantee you admission in that school. I can't really tell the procedure EBSU uses to arrive at who will be offered a direct entry admission into medicine, other than second class upper requirement. Apart from the 2.1 criterion, I don't really know how they choose the ones they want. I was just lucky. It was God's grace. |
GideonOmach:That's why it's hard to gain a direct entry admission at EBSU, although I was lucky when I did a direct entry application into medicine there. The first criterion is that the candidates must graduate with second class upper. So, EBSU doesn't offer DE admission into medicine, to second class lower degree holders. With respect to UNN, its post-DE is the same as JAMB questions. If you can score high in JAMB, you can also score high in it. |
Why are u Pained dt Ogun is benefiting from Lagos sw swEvery state benefits from its contiguous state. However, It's Delta that benefits more from Anambra than Anambra benefits from Delta. Onitsha main market is the home for all the businessmen and women from Asaba, Warri, Port Harcourt, Benin, etc. |
HedwigesMaduro:Gala business is a serious business. You may be surprised to know that they make a lot. Instead of being idle, or looking for something to steal, the person should start small. All these billionaires started small and ended up making it big. Dangote started with a small shop. So, despise not the little beginning. It's not a shame to sell gala. Without those gala sellers, the gala manufacturing industries may fold up. |
scholes0:I'm from Anambra, but it's not true that Imo is a mediocre state. Imo has industries too. Truth be told, Imo state capital is more beautiful than Ogun State capital. Besides, when you get to the villages, there are more beautiful and new generation houses in Imo than in Ogun. However, Ogun has more industries than Imo due to its contiguity to Lagos. What are those opportunities they're enjoying in the SW that they can't enjoy back home? They are contributing revenues to the wellbeing of the SW. It's their sweat. There are also some Yorubas living in Imo, doing business and contributing revenues to the wellbeing of Imo, although the number of Imolites doing business and contributing revenues in the SW is greater than the number of Yorubas living in Imo State. Nigeria is a secular state. Anybody can choose where he or she likes to live. It doesn't mean that there are no opportunities in that person's state. I know some Igbos who travelled to the SW and the North, thinking that more opportunities abound there than in Igboland. They later came back with nothing. For instance, there was this Anambra young man who travelled to Lagos, did all kinds of business, but couldn't make a headway. He came back to Abakaliki in Ebonyi State with nothing, and started life afresh. It amazed people how he became rich quickly. He became a multimillionaire before he died. They're numerous I know too. So, there are opportunities everywhere. It's we humans that look down on potential opportunities, because some humans don't look into the future or think that Lagos is filled with more opportunities than other places. |
Encash:Go and pay her bride price, please. It's not a must you should pay or do everything one of her uncles said. I guess she's not happy that you've not paid her bride price. There's nothing like spiritual husbands. Those pastors deceived you. I agree that you have some points, but I just want you to know that it's not easy anywhere, even in divorce, bachelorhood, etc. You just have to endure. Study your wife and understand her properly. This life is not a bed of roses. Also, be prayerful too. There's nothing God cannot do. |
GideonOmach:For EBSU, you must graduate with second class upper, and it doesn't conduct a physical post-DE screening. You only buy the form and fill it online. For UNN, it takes second class lower, but you must score up to 320 to 350 in its post-DE, to stand a chance. The people I know there are in their clinical training. So, they don't live at UNEC again. They're clinical students of medicine and dentistry at UNTH. So, they won't be of any help. Just read very well, purchase a JAMB DE form, and when UNN advertises its post-DE screening form, you go and purchase it. EBSU doesn't take enough. UNN has a problem in over-admission only to weed some of them out in the 2nd mbbs. |
GideonOmach:No, I'm no longer there. I left UNN a long time ago. |
tot:You forgot the chapter that says that no fornicator, sorcerer, murderer, etc, will enter God's kingdom. Even the chapter that says that if your left eye will make you sin, that it's better you pluck it out. One chapter also says that without holiness, no man shall see God. All these chapters talk about our deeds. It's true that God saved us, not because of our works, but by His grace, but if you continue in sin, grace will not abound. Therefore, our deeds will judge us when we fail to make use of the salvation freely given to us by grace. In fact, your quotation specifically talks about the salvation Jesus got for us. It meant that we didn't deserve the salvation, because of sin. But then the Bible also says, "shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?". Even Revelation says that every man will be judged according to his deeds (Revelation 20:12). Also, we'll all stand before the judgement seat of God and judged according to our deeds in the body (2nd Corinthians 5:10). The summary of the whole matter is that He got salvation for us, without our work, but by grace through faith, but if we continue in sin grace will no longer abound. So, our good deeds also matter. And no sinner shall enter God's kingdom. We make mockery of the salvation He gave us by grace if we can't bear good fruits. After all, faith without work is dead. Moreover, non-Christians can also make heaven. Jesus even admired the faith of the Centurion and said that so many people will come from the East and West, North and South and enter God's kingdom, while the children of the kingdom will be cast out. |
hidhrhis:Don't mind him. I'm a Christian, but it's our deeds that judge us. Both Muslims and Christians who did good while alive will enjoy paradise. In fact, anyone who did good will enjoy paradise. May his soul rest in peace. |

African politicians lack ideology. They're prostit.utes. |
squash47:That's why we should not quarrel, fight or die because of them. You might be surprised when you see them together gisting, celebrating and popping champagne. |

Period007:This pharmacist wrote that very few hospitals allow pharmacists to do ward round. That's why I said that I've not seen that. Maybe, in the future, more hospitals will key into that.

Period007:You don't know me well to know my other achievements. When I was in UNN, I met a law student who was in his 50's, and the law programme was his first degree programme. He was offered admission via UTME. He was not yet married too, but he was highly determined and focused. In UNN medical school then, I also saw very old guys who I thought were lecturers, but on the contrary, they were medical students. Then in my current school (Ebonyi State University), I saw some of them who are in their 40's and 50's studying medicine with us. Some hold first degree like me, while some didn't go to university before. It's all different strokes for different folks. Then in Maiduguri, a pharmacist also told me how he advised his friend who was into business to leave his business, and go back to school to study pharmacy, that he was not good at business, and being a brilliant guy when they were in secondary school, he should go back to school. The friend heeded the advice, even though he was in his 40's then. Today, he's a professor of pharmacy. I've never seen in Nigeria when pharmacists do ward round. Give me the link. I don't hate pharmacy. I just said the truth. So, don't crucify me for airing my views. Let's end the argument. Every course is good. Una don win. I no get strength for the argument again. All I know is that I never lied about the true nature of pharmacy in Nigeria. |
