I wish you are here to understand the situation. There's no even ordinary gala seller and coke seller on the streets. Roasted plantain and fish are equally out of the streets. There's a very powerful task force that moves around PH to make sure that food vendors or roadside food vendors are flushed out or even arrested for flaunting government order.

I normally don't eat those roadside foods, but my guy the situation is getting out of hand, if I see roasted plantain and fish I go eat now
It's safe to say that you are completely bleeped... Lol

It is not in the course that you studied, it is the stuff in you that count. I have seen people who studied language worth millions and people with courses with big name and good grade walking the street, begging to apply around. Some with higher degrees are even ready to take low pay jobs.
Higher degress or not, bro if you're not lucky enough to get a graduate trainee role, you have to die, get buried, before you start growing (you may have to work for free, get treated like a dog or a househelp just so you can get there).. I'm into Occupational Safety and Health, my boss says it all the time that it's only experience that is holding me back from becoming a Manager. By God's grace, next year, I should be up there. But baba I don read, get turned down so many times at interviews. Had to learn Structural design and detailing from scratch.... No Uni can teach you that.... Na wetin I dey use do side hustle right now.


It's simple..... Like you have said it's what you have in you, yes but your degrees will be appreciated later...

I applied for Environmental engineering but was offered Agric and environmental engineering. Take note, the environmental here is as silent as the p in pneumonia. I hated and hate that course even after school. God help me.
Until you Master it. Preferably, do it in a Civil Engineering department... Lots of my friends did same and they are doing excellently well right now. Majority are lecturers right now.

FOR INSTANCE:

Your Tithe is #25,000, and on your way to church, your neighbor came forward to you begging with tears and weeping for your help over his wife that has to give birth through cesarean section (C.S) and you know the money he needed to save his wife is there in your wallet, but it is for Tithe.

Will you lie that you have no money or tell him that the one you have is your Tithe? If you do so, you are a Demon not just wicked Christian.

And if you decide to give the money to him for his wife's life, then tell me WHY YOU SAID ALMSGIVING AND CHARITY is not far better than giving TITHE?

am waiting for your sincere and honest response.
No what you described is a different senario.. Read what I wrote above, Did you notice that I didn't mention tithe cool... My explanation is based on Apostle Paul's words. Take a look at all I've posted on here my understanding of giving is solely based upon love (for God and for what God loves and cherish) and mercy. Those two should rule our giving bro. What you explained up there is for those who are deeply rooted in Religion. Your example is too far... This one is closer, You have a debt you needed to pay, after paying, the sum left can only pay your tithe with a few cash left. Meanwhile, you send your parents money every month and you're yet to do same that month. The fool will leave his/her poor parents and siblings; and would rather take the cash to church. So you understand my point Love and mercy!
If those two rule your giving, you won't find it difficult to give any amount.... honestly

Religiousity and Spirituality are different.

Differences

Religious people see the need to pay tithes at fixed time and with %

Spiritual people see the need to give to humanity at anytime and without %

Choose the path to follow
In addition sir! Religious people expects 100 folds in return.
Spiritual people sees giving as a blessing.... You are just happy and joyous of the fact that God has placed you in that position to be able to be a blessing unto others... You are just happy doing it especially to people who can't repay you... grin

So you mean I can not give a percent of what I earn to the poor?

If that is the case, charity and almsgiving is better than tithing
My dear friend, recall that popular verse, *for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.. Matthew 6:21.
As a Christian, who God is to us should reflect in how much we treasure him, our value system. It's a good culture to set an amount aside (intentionally), a constant percentage in keeping with your income every month, for the things of God. By doing that, you've made him lord over your finance. A percentage of the set aside percentage goes straight to your church, then your offering, alms etc. The collected funds in the early church was well utilized but it's a pity what we have in this our current dispensation. But I will always stand with Obedience to the word of God! Any minister that chooses do the wrong thing will answer for it. Mine is just to OBEY!

rectitude:
This is the wrong place to ask this type of question as most people here are Spiritually not inclined.
Having said that, you should pay your tithe. Because the Bible says you should try him in paying your tithe and see if he will not open the windows of heaven and pour out his blessings.

So this may be the right time to prove him on his word. Faith may look foolish in the eyes of men, but know that you can never be a fool for Faith.
Your way of reasoning is the reason a lot of folks don't pay tithe!..... I so much detest this. I get turned off when any Pastor starts with this concept of window. What window, What test are you subjecting God to!
I tell people, all your so called income in a month is as a result of God's grace isn't it?... But the foolish you wants to give him 10% of it for him to open a window grin .
Now think about it this way, you have a child in a boarding house. You sent him 10k at the end of the month. Now your child decided to give you 1k out of the same 10k you gave him with the aim of receiving more cash from you..... You'll laugh isn't it.

You should give your tithe as a life style and in appreciation of the 100% God has blessed you with, Not with the aim of getting him to open another window... *Appreciation* should be our mindset not *getting* *more* in return while having it at the back of your mind that this God gave his only begotten son. Only o...! Yet we give him one foolish meagre 10% and we are still expecting him to open one window. Awon Ole mschewwww tongue

I prefer going out there to give my money or tithe to poor lives than give it to a clergyman that will end up using it to buy condom or wine
I'm not a fanatic but for the concept of tithing, the one receiving should always be superior to the one giving the tithe..... Therefore, giving to the less privileged is just charity not tithe per say... Heb 7 explains it better.

IS ISPON THE ONLY ACCREDITED ORGANIZATION TO DO HSE TRAINING?

No ISPON is not, can never be the only and should not be. It is like saying that only a particular secondary school called WAEC should offer senior secondary education in Nigeria. WAEC is the exam and you can choose to prepare for the WAEC Exam by attending any secondary school of your choosing. The syllabus and curriculum are there for you to read and prepare for the exam. When you write the exam and pass, WAEC issues you your certificate without bothering about which school you wrote it, as long as such a school has been approved by WAEC for the exam with a valid exam center number.

This is how it is in many countries. Now if we should benchmark by other examinations and other countries, ISPON is supposed to simply state the various levels of certification and the various curriculum for each. Then training centers (accredited by ISPON) teach these courses/curriculum to prospective candidates. These candidates would also have registered with ISPON to sit for the certification exam. ISPON then conducts the exam and provides certificates to those that pass. This is the same way NEBOSH is organised. There are accredited training centers for NEBOSH and after the training, you write the exams.

In my opinion, ISPON has decided to play these two (2) roles because it has the advantage of giving full control and more financial resources. As a mater of fact they are also playing a third role which is Consultancy Services. However it has its setbacks as well. But we cannot also neglect its advantages.

CAN YOU DO HSE TRAINING WITH ANY OTHER ACCREDITED ORGANIZATION?
Yes you can. Feel free to do as many training as you can. But these will not give you Professional ISPON Certification. Training Certification is different from Professional Certification. The last time I checked, to be a Member of ISPON you need to first go through the relevant HSE training (Gen HSE, HSE Levels 1,2,3) with them at ISPON, depending on your level of academic qualification. It is after you have done this that you then can apply to becoming a Professional Certified Member. I doubt if this has changed till date. So if you want Training Certification for various training on HSE, there are many out there. But if you want to be a member of ISPON, you need to have undergone their relevant HSE Training before applying to be a member. You can further contact/call them for an independent verification Sir.

IF NOVELLE IS AN ACCREDITED CENTER?
To know if a training center is accredited by an association or certification body, please contact such an association or certification body either through email or their website. If you want to know if they are accredited by NEBOSH for instance, go to the NEBOSH Website and search for accredited training centers in Africa/Nigeria. There name must be there. In some instances you need to tell the Training Center to provide their accreditation I.D. No. to verify. For instance if Novell claims it is licensed by Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), they need to provide their DPR OGISP Number, so we verify on DPR Website. Do this yourself where possible. Convince yourself. Dont just take our words for it.

CHANCES OF GETTING A JOB AS A GRADUATE IN ENGLISH?
You are correct that a lot of employers require Engineering or Natural/Physical Science Background alongside the professional and training certifications. However, I noticed this is common in many engineering (chemical process, structural, mechanical, electrical, petroleum) domains.
It is usually not common with all companies. The reason is because hazards emanate from physical, chemical processes and phenomena. Even the area of Human Factor and Behavioral Safety emanate from Biological and Psychological Sciences. YOU CAN NOT BE A WELL GROUNDED PROFESSIONAL IF YOU DO NOT HAVE FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGE KNOWLEDGE IN CERTAIN PHYSICAL/NATURAL SCIENCE PRINCIPLES. FACT. How do you calculate drop object risk? How do you determine how far you should keep a flammable material from one that generates heat if you cannot estimate rate of convection, radiation, conduction etc. depending on which applies? I am not talking about knowing these principles in theory, I am talking about applying them to designing and practically controlling hazards and mitigating against risks in a workplace.

However, there are other areas of HSE that you can also further delve into. For instance HSE Culture/Behavior Based Safety. These persons know how to make staff of various companies imbibe and obey HSE Rules and Regulations. The focus is mainly on human psychology and human behaviors. They are so good at promoting safety culture that companies call them to come in periodically,to audit their HSE Management System and see how these rules and regulations on good HSE Practices can be obeyed and respected by all staff. So you can do your ISPON,NEBOSH, etc and focus on HSE Culture. It is one thing to make HSE Rules but another to get people to comply. Firing and sacking people is the last resort. It is better people comply willingly. The professionals in behavior based safety know just the right tools that are required to get operators and workers to comply with HSE Regulations. However, you still need to have some fundamental knowledge of natural sciences.

As a matter of fact there is an institution in France, ICSI, which is focused on this a lot.

Here are some free resources/books/materials in this area.

Please can you add me to any of the safety groups you mentioned on WhatsApp:08066248626
And please I noticed having a professional certificate is part of ISPON criteria to becoming a member, how did you go about yours?
What have you done or are you doing currently? Are you working as a safety officer already?
And yes, you have to get ISPON's certification to qualify for the membership screening and examination.

It's called obsolescence.

Obsolescence is the state of being which occurs when an object, service, or practice is no longer wanted even though it may still be in good working order.

They try to make the piece of tech or item sold to you previously obsolete so you can buy a new one.

There's several types but in the smartphone world, the two most important are
1. Planned obsolescence
2. Forced obsolescence
