ositadima1: I flunked through school, my secondary education was a mess, I used to score F's like tomorrow no dey. Always averaging between 40 and 50% . I giraffed and cheated alot. But I was good at math, i learnt math in class, teaching it to classmates some of which averaged 70% and above. In my JSS1 I could remember drawing letters instead of copying from d blackboard, I didn't understand the words formation. To be honest most of my grades in the WAEC (2000) exams were a product of copying from my neighbors. I was also among the pioneers of NECO, anybody that took the exam then knows how freely available the expos were.
The first time I did some work was for my jamb prep. I had to study the whole math, physics and chemistry syllabus with no much prior knowledge. It took me 3 attempts to get in my course of choice (the second attempt was fruitful but I messed up the school choices and so had to re-write). In the uni I tried in the first and second year, then in the rest I went back to my ways, lol, ended with a 2.2. Maybe it would have been 3rd if not for those first 2 years.
I was lucky, after NYSC I got an average job in one of those oil servs, courtesy of my uncle. Now, I am doing same thing, my peers have all left to bigger jobs making lots of $$$ and I am still at my drawing desk, 10 years later. I think I am a mess.
Sometimes, I blame Dad for truncating my life. I did my nursery and elementary school in Rome, Italy. I can remember back then I was among the best in my class, my teachers reports were favourable. In my class I was never discriminated against I felt I was like them, used to have a best friend, Fernando Carissimi. It was not to last, my Dad wanted to return to his country Nigeria, without any practical plans.
Ever since, I have been sinking. What I would have been if we had staid back or relocated to better countries like usa or uk, some families relocated to usa back then, it was easier. I know I am being irrational. I also derailed a thread too. I am depressed. I lack d will to act.
You are exactly where you are meant to be at this point in your life. God has placed you there to do something. Look around you and find out why. I am really sorry you are having a tough time. Have you considered therapy? These days it's all done on skype and zoom. Try Harley street doctors online. that's what I think they are called. They can also prescribe medication if you need it.
why on earth are you paying for a special centre. na so you go sort her post ume ,sort throughout school and sort to get a job.
it's cheaper for you to sit on her to study now. it will save you money in future.even if you dont care about teaching her a good moral lesson. Do it for your pocket
I am surprised an A1 student has an F9 and D7 as well. Is this a special centre?
if she wrote that on her own, please and please could you get a GCE form for her. This is so she can get a second chance at those subjects. If she smashes them,she will smash jamb and postume as well.
I had a second shot at Maths during GCE nearly 20 yrs ago. It was a runaway success. I m glad my parents gave me that opportunity
ositadima1: If every employee in ur office leaves their job(stay at home) cos of nonpayment of salaries I bet you that management will quickly rectify the problem.
It is the only way we protects our selves, acting together for the common good, all this individual complaints is getting boring. That is why we are been taking for a ride by d few.
I still wouldn't advise this to anyone with a family to support. if unions have pay protection,do it. If not,stay put.
ositadima1: Where is that man called Nigeriansaredumb. They owe you 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 months, u still dey go work. Who is to blame in this case? That is why these governors do owe salaries nah.
If every one conserned sits at home, will the governor be able to run all their jobs by himself? Will d governor be able to replace every one? If someone can easily be replaced that means his job brings no value in d first place. I tire for my people.
You think it's easy to leave a job? It certainly is not. Leave your job tomorrow. They will have someone new in a month. You can just try it as an academic exercise.
Lightangel65: You are feeding him theattention he wants
And is giving attention the worst thing in the world? It doesnt cost you anything.
And if you couldnt spare any of your own,you could have walked on by . But you chose to comment here not once,not twice but three whole times. I will curse you too o if you dont disappear from here immediately. Go and ask bonawhatever
You and your entire generations shall experience double for the next 800 years
I am already living mine. You are the one who needs this and you will get it. No escape. I will continue checking on you to see that you are getting your just desserts.
The one you are seeing already is beans . More to come.
So sorry Meedon for derailing your thread. This was a teachable moment. I just couldnt let it go. I had to teach this troll a lesson. He will remember and rue this day.
Bonatheripper: If you wanted to end your life you won't be advertising it on Nairaland
You'll get just RIP after the news is heard and the next day you'll become a memory and forgotten
No one cares about you man
You're not the only one with problems nonsense
Sometime in the next 18 months,you will experience a setback that will cause you excruciating pain and personal suffering.
You will not die but like a Caterpillar,you will emerge an entirely new person with an understanding of personal suffering and compassion for those who suffer.
Farooq Kperogi explains why Nigerian Youth prefer BBN to politics. In BBN there is at least an illusion of control. I recommend you also read his predictions on the composition of buharis cabal. He has never been proven wrong. Enjoy
Yea sure reads like a referral letter. What are you planning to do with any monies realized here OP? Cancers do not respond to prayers and oil. Are you taking her to the hospital? There is hope for your mother but you will need to act fast.

I would like to join a #revolutionnow protest . Does anyone know any of the organisers? Pump price of fuel is now 150 naira. i m now afraid to check moneyfex exchange rate.
Iogobenz: You know it will be better if you join the protesters and bear the risk with them head on.. Anyone can hide behind a group and fund "terrorism",but coming out in the open is what matters most if you want your voice to be heard properly and will make you the hero you so much desire to be. So why not join them so we can take your cause seriously? If you want to better Nigeria,come back home and open a business especially in your field of expertise. Barbarism and stupidity has never made any nation progress. Vanderbilt,Rockefeller,Dangote,Rothschild,etc... all contributed to the progress of their various nations by creating empires and not destroying them by acts of civil unrest. Vandals/economie terrorists will be met by acts of fury from the Nigeria armed forces. Be wise!
Since the dawn of time, History has tipped the balance time and time again in favour of those who stand up against oppression and continually seek to make life better for the poorest of the society.
History has also defaced and totally erased the memories of such oppressors.
If I have 1 day left to live,I choose to spend it advocating against tyranny and oppression.
I do not really mind being called a vandal. I will stand for something. What do you stand for?
