Education › Re: My Journey Through Academics (bsc. Msc. Ph.d) by merits(m): 11:11am On Apr 10, 2022
te author=Paulheyman post=111801510]My Journey through academics (Bsc. MSc. Ph.D)

NOTE: I am writing this article to inspire young Nigerians/Africans who have flair for academics.

My name is Emeka Ekanem Muyiwa Kyari and I was born a sickle cell patient. At the age of seven, I developed passion for teaching, my love for teaching was born out of my urge to know more. I was passionate about learning. Though, my maternal grandfather was a headmaster, I dreamt of becoming a Professor someday. My greatest weakness was my health, my greatest strength was my friends and family.

Naturally I was born "maybe" intelligent but those who are familiar with sickle cell crisis knows that at certain age the crisis becomes increasingly recurrent and this was the greatest set back I had during my BSc. because it affected my CGPA (3.39/5). Except for my second semester 4th year, I couldn't write a single quiz/test during my BSc. even the exams I wrote from my sick bed.

During my NYSC I was posted to Akwa Ibom State (I love Akwa Ibom). I am a lone wolf, I function better alone. I had a dream which is getting MSc. and staying back in Akwa Ibom would hinder that dream. My little alawee can't sustain my stay in Akwa Ibom State moreover we all thought that the state paid #16k but during camping we discovered they paid #6k so I had to redeploy to my state where they paid #5k/month. I was able to save up enough fund by living with my parents, in fact I saved everything I was paid just so that I could start my MSc.

After the NYSC I enrolled for my MSc. in Nnamdi Azikiwe university (NAU). I was once again faced with my greatest fear which was my health. I had crisis multiple times, even during my exams. As my savings was gradually depleting, I took a job that paid me #3500; funny thing is that my present office actually closed the school down. Then, I took another job that paid #7500, then, another that paid #15000 before getting employed by the state civil service. My MSc. delayed but I later got it at the 4th year, CGPA (4.06/5). My MSc. was a battle fought in love and on grace. The universe was kind to me and I survived the journey. My worst experience was the day I took pain killer injections at Eastern mass transit park in awka (terrible).

Then, came the PhD. The challenges where enormous, my fear were still there but the crisis wasn't recurrent as before. Again love, grace, humility and perseverance saw me through. The PhD came within 3 years. CGPA (5/5). I finished my PhD at 30 years

My Advice to young Academia's
1) To succeed in academics requires perseverance and love of what you're doing.
2) Keep your circle of friends tiny as possible. If possible be an island.
3) The dissuading voices are there to motivate you. Use them, let them penetrate you. My "guy" told me it was impossible to finish PhD in three years but I did
4) Don't wait to have enough fund to start your postgraduate journey. The university is an ocean of opportunities. You'll get enough fund to see you through your study.
5) Avoid any relationship that will lead to spending money. Minimize your expenditure
6) You must create time for leisure but ensure it won't cost you much money.
7) Your supervisor should be your best friend, they've what it takes to progress your research.
cool Join many groups on Facebook based on your research interest, follow people on Twitter who share similar research interest with you. Don't forget to always ask questions. In fact form the habit of questioning everything
9) Chose your area of specialization and research interest based solely on your passion. When you're passionate about a research findings it makes it easier to progress. Be guided!!!
10) Equip yourself with so much knowledge during your PhD, don't leave PhD empty, your PhD knowledge will prepare you and skyrocket you to greatness. During my PhD I learnt how to use so many software such as Autodock, Autodock vina, NAMD, SPSS, pyrx, pymol, Discovery studio, Avogadro, Sigmaplot, Datawarrior etc and all was fun. I had friends on Facebook (non Nigerians) to teach and guide me through each software


Conclusion
Though I am not a professor yet, but I believe that at the appropriate time I will. I made it this far, I know that everyone else will. School is fun not scam. One day I know that my certificates will fetch me greatness because I don't just wanna be a salary earner I want to be remembered for my contribution to knowledge.

Crime › Re: Man Kills & Dismembers His Girlfriend’s Body After Visiting Him In Osun (Photo) by merits(m): 3:01pm On Apr 09, 2022
sreamsense:
Yoruba Muslim should stop marrying many wives and plenty children in most cases when they are not exceptionally rich. They should stop hiding under canopy of they are capable and can equally take care of wives and children. 80% of ritual killing cases and touts are from them even though Islam teaching forbids it, but honestly; by the time most of their children grow up; some of their children become wayward and frustrated in life to the extent of going into ritual killings and touts due to extreme poverty.

Only responsibility some of the average and poor Muslim parents do is to give birth, spend money to do naming ceremony, but once the child grows up and responsibility begins most of the children are abandoned to their mothers that may even be jobless; it is another reason why many run away muslim children end up as conductors and touts when their christian children counterparts are in schools. It is similar reason why Boko Haram and bandits are able to recruit many abandoned and alimonjere children in the north because their poor muslim parents with many jobless wives can't cater for their financial and moral need as they grow up.

Today's pride of having many children can become tomorrow's nightmare if they are not properly taken care of. Something should be done by government to limit number of children you must give birth to even if you have multiple wives and financial status of such parents must be examined by government before granting that permission to give birth to certain children to avoid future millitancy and banditry in Yoruba land
To be candid you just said the truth.

9. DO NOT FORGET TO FEED YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER! shocked shocked shocked
This point should even be number one. wink Do not neglect the welfare of your your media team. It is very easy to be caught up with activities and not notice everything. It is not always nice for your photographer who has been at work since like 5am to start hustling for rice when the event is about to come to a close. sad The sad thing is, those food vendors have zero regard for photographers. sad I can't fathom our offence. Why would you bring a very cold rice that doesn't have meat and spoon for the photography team? embarassed I have two permanent spoons in my bag because food vendors believe photographers must eat rice with their hands! grin Your photographer is human. How do you want them them feel while looking at our pictures? (Na this bride no give us food that day o.) I have personally photographed events where the welfare of the media team was not a priority and i have photographed events where the media team were treated like kings. cool I know the difference. cool
Glutton photographer I hail oo,for having permanent spoon in your bag.

Kipling:
Pm good people of naira land. I really need help.

I'm in my early twenties and I'm very addicted to pornography and masturbation. My own level of addiction is so severe that when I see people here complaining of being addicted I just laugh.

I started since 2017 and I have been masturbating since then even when I didn't have a mobile to satisfy my addiction, I borrow just so I'll be alright.

Right now, I just finished masturbating about three times in a row since yesterday, even after today I vowed never to masturbate again, went to my history to clear off porn pages. I mistakenly clicked on one and I masturbated again. I really need help all round, when I mean help I mean actual help.

Your suggestions and insults are welcomed. I deserve them.
Masturbation is normal but much of it is bad,I feel for you bro.

Wealthoptulent:
Nigerian raving singer, Habeeb Okikiola a.k.a Portable, believes he is under a spiritual attack following the recent unfortunate happenings around him.

The singer emphasized this belief after he crashed his Range Rover into a building.

Sharing a video of the incident, the singer said he was perplexed on how that could happen to a high-level vehicle with brakes.

‘Zazoo Zeh’ crooner claimed that it was the handiwork of “enemies” who he said “touched the SUV with spiritual hands”.

Portable said his SUV crashed into a fence and iron railings after the vehicle veered off the road due to brake failure.

He thanked God for saving his life while adding that there was no major damage. As at time of compiling this news,okiki olalomi is fine and going about his other activities, moving on from the ill-fated drive.
