The change is constant

Goldenboy842:
Civilization, tech, information technology, high-tech health care system drove them away.

You can say that again golden

Stephen0mozzy:


a lot of non-it jobs today will soon join this list!

Tech is the future o... Find a passion now and follow the path

I’m telling you bro, imagine telling a town crier those times that a time would come when he’s gonna be rendered “useless”, the kind swear wey the town crier go swear for person go long. Now we’ve got informations down to our doorsteps like oxygen. Same way tech is gonna take all very soon

Bonesbreaker:
Add pictures

Boss those pictures plenty die. Na why I resorted in doing only the definition and descriptions.

There are some jobs that are so common in those days let’s say 17th, 18th and 19th centuries ago and are classified as been odd in this our century/age. Let’s discuss some right now. As the saying goes; we learn everyday

1. LECTORS; In the 1920s, people working long hours in their cubicles didn’t have any form of entertainment to break up d workday monotony, unlike those of us in the modern day who can take quick breaks to scroll through social media. Employers started bringing in professional “lectors” to entertain office workers by reading news, stories, and other forms of literature aloud to the employees as they worked. We’re having a little trouble understanding how this was entertaining- sounds pretty distracting, actually.

2. LUNGS; You might think lungs are just an organ in the body, but once upon a time, this was also the name of a profession. From the 14th to the 16th century, alchemist shops sold manual lungs, used for fanning fire. These works of art were beautiful, intricate, and often in very high demand. People were assigned to use these “lungs” to fan the fire during procedures executed in the alchemist shops, which often resulted in these workers suffering from blackened lungs.

3. RESSURECTIONIST; You’ll be grateful you weren’t alive in the 19th century when you hear about this creepy profession. Just like today, medical students at the time needed to practice on dead bodies, which is where the resurrectionists came in. They provided corpses to students by digging them up from their graves. The reason for this occupation’s demise is unclear, but we can safely assume that the business fell out of practice for ethical reasons. We’re just glad we weren’t around when this was common practice.

4. MUDLARKS; Those in poverty have always faced cruelty at the hands of society, and this was no exception. In the old days, working as a “mudlark” was considered a legitimate profession, scavenging through the mud seeking treasures. Indeed, the poor often took quickly to this task to support themselves and their families. Seeking valuables, people flocked to the river each and every day to comb through the mud and muck. Once they collected these items, they sold them to the public for a profit.

5. PHRENOLOGIST; the practice of attempting to determine character traits and mental states or illnesses using only the bumps and grooves of a person’s skull. This was an abstract theory within the field of psychology, but was originally considered a legitimate and masterful science. Though phrenologists were considered revolutionary and ahead of the game at the time, this practice has been widely debunked and is now considered a pseudoscience. It was later banned, and fell out of practice by they year 1967.

6. POWDER MONKEY; Young boys used to tag along with sailors who were heading off to war, back when sailing was a common occupation. Those young boys were called powder monkeys. It’s believed that “monkey” came from the phrase “monkeying around”, but there is no concrete evidence to back this claim.
The boys were tasked with transporting bags full of gunpowder from one place to another, as well as filling up the ship’s cannons with the powder to help the sailors prepare for war.

7. DAGUERREOTYPIST; The first camera to be invented that could be reliably used in public was called a daguerreotype, invented and widely used during the mid-1800’s. The people who specialized in capturing and developing photos using this camera were known as Daguerreotypists. Many important celebrities at the time, including Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, had their portraits taken by these early professionals. The process quickly became popular, until it was slowly made obsolete as cheaper and more efficient cameras and procedures were introduced.
Notable mentions; Redsmith, Leech Collectors, Herb strewer, Hobbler, Lamplighters etc. These are odd jobs those days and you can still add yours too.

Oya Oga Lalasticlala, Mynd44, Dominique; Oya let’s learn some things again this beautiful day boss

mjbaba:
That road shortens the distance between Kwara and the North. I've suffered that road twice when I mistakenly passed through there on my way from Offa. It was very horrible. My car suffered

The last time I traveled on that road from my town Offa to Ayetoro gbede (Hometown to Dino Melaye and Gen Jemibewon rtd). I couldn’t sleep cos of body aches. I blamed my self that day. Tho kabba- Ekiti routes long and more expensive but abeg I no mind.

Bigii:
Nor mind am.

You fine sha

Hmmm dem don start. Awon simplometer. She fine sha kee you there Bigi

psalmz:
read what u wrote,with all your monickers ,this is the English u can come up with ,I won’t glorify u by responding to your inutile ,insensate,undiscerning ,inane stale statements

Baba correct spelling na “Moniker”. Stop these big big grammars abeg, u don pay Jeff2010?? I hate it when someone is being cheated just as you did to that young man.

DonroxyII:
The Pass Mark is still 50% but the hustle for 60% is still there. You know, anyone who wants to apply for Grants and so on needs booster. The course work is on Major Courses underlying your Discipline. In Accounting for example: Management Accounting, Financial Accounting, Cost Accounting, Taxation, Auditing, Public Sector Accounting, Oil and Gas Accounting Possibly Econometrics etc .
I think they usually do like five courses or so divided into two semesters.

It all depends on what the Board of the Department deemfit for the Academic Session.Course work is mostly Department's decision ratified by the Postgraduate school and Senate.

Now I understand ur explanation. It all depends on each Department’s decision ultimately. I can’t imagine myself doing course work again during PhD…..something wey I don forget say I do way back at MSc

DonroxyII:
It depends on the department. There is coursework in Unilorin as at 2013 in Accounting Department.

Oh now I gotcha….there was this man running his PhD when I was still an undergrad (400L) in the year 2011/2012, Mr Shittu who majors in Parasitology was busy with research works throughout his course of doing his PhD. There’s nothing like course works as I can remembered. All lies on which department as you rightly said. But bros wetin dem go use the weighted mean, the scores of the PhD course work do?

iphone6s……Bukata plenty; wife’s school fees, house rent and all.kashamadupe!!!!!

promisedeco:
My immediate older brother cried like a baby when I was born.

My dad had to settle the matter with by convincing him that he is his last born and I'm my mum's last born. Even till now na so de arrangement de o

Baba abeg no use laff kee me this morning . Very funny something

onlyhope:
This does not factor in the costs of your bench work or research. If 'others' cover your house rent and feeding for the period. For example, someone very close to me needs between 3m-4m for his research alone in the life sciences.

Bros abeg tell me that ur close person is not a Zoologist majoring in Molecular Biology and Genetics like me?? Chaii I wan die during my MSc research work, DNA analysis of honeybees. I spent nothing less than 900k-1m (only lab work oo aside school fees and other miscellaneous expenses). I no too like make I dey remember am sef

AcetylLily:
It’s an expensive thing to venture in honestly

Research work is not something you rush and also you pay school fees year in year out whether you achieved something that year or not; coupled with the strike.

Started mine since 2015; done with my coursework but the project I was stucked with it; Infact I never went back to Idiaraba again.

Even if I decide to go back; all those years I was absent; I will pay the school fees for those years.

Honestly now; am having a re think and looking for a better opportunity.

Which school is that please if you don’t mind me asking? Course works stopped at MSc where I did mine at OAU, the same with Unilorin where I had my 1st degree. My first time seeing there’s still course works again at PhD level.

Vyolet:
Jatto from Offa, obani loruko he omo.
