Spy360:
To track 45e from 51.5e you have to take your dish slightly higher, about 2in or less. The exciting channels there for me are gone or unstable. But you will still find something like home videos from Nigeria and Ghana.

Thank you, sir. Though, I'm not a fan of local movies. I guess I'll just leave that LNB idle until something more interesting comes up.

Spy360:
Moreplex and those other premium channels showing free are unstable and unreliable. It's enjoy as you can. As for other sats, there's not much available now. This period is a dark period for fta.

Thanks for your response. Is it possible to track 45e with the LNB originally at 51.5e? How do I go about it?
How interesting are the channels at 45e?
(Note: I have 51.5e, 42.5e as primary and 28.5e all in one dish).

Please, I need help from gurus in the house.
I have 51.5e, 42.5e and JoyTV tracked on a single 60 cm dish with my SRT495s. However, I lost myTV and MoreplexTV signals about three days before MyTV suspended operation. My questions now are:
1. Could it be that my LNB is faulty? (especially given the fact that TARA, which also happens to be on 51.5e still shows green)
2. If the LNB is fine, what other satellite can I track with it by myself without having to consult an installer? How do I go about the tracking using 51.5e or 42.5e as a reference?
I would also love to enjoy live matches too or action movies. Thanks

Fresh graduate. Welcome to the real world.

Not so fresh anyways. Graduated three years ago.

Your degree could place you anywhere with the right connections. If you don't have connections and are under 30 try and apply for the publicly advertised government jobs that come up, even if it is outside your discipline.

But if by chance you have connections with your degree look into Power. The Parastatals under Ministry of Power pay decently I am told.. heard Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading pay the best among them.

You are very much appreciated for this.
I have been on the lookout for vacancy placements in parastatals under ministry of power but like most parastatals, they seem not to advertise anymore.
However, I have no human connection, and I have applied for any and all publicly advertised vacancies since youth service (Immigration, NDLEA, NCDMB, INEC, ICPC, FRSC, etc). It's beginning to look like applying for jobs in Nigeria is a waste of time...and resources.

What is/are the advantage(s) of having this LNB?

Mrlouis:
CORRECTIONS.
1. UNDERSTOOD, PAST PARTICIPLE OF UNDERSTAND

2. REPETITION OF THE WORD "HERE"

I am not in the habit of posting comments here, but since we are in the habit of making unnecessary corrections today, let me also state that "understood" as used in the context which you quoted is not past participle. Rather, it's a past tense.
PEACE

7victor:
Thank you.

It is true.

Some people told me that if they were the ones, they would have taken up the matter.

But for now, I am not pressing further because what is in my transcript is good enough to allow me do a PhD in any University.

But I will still meet the management of the school on the issue when I have time.

I am no longer in the state where the University is located.

When I have time and enter there,I will surely meet them on the issue.

It's quite unfortunate that this happened to you. I know what it feels like to come out with a lower class of degree than your actual worth.
However, if you are able to get the management of the school to rectify this anomaly after you might have obtained a PhD with said transcript, then technically, won't that invalidate your PhD? I'll advice you seek the professional opinion of a legal practitioner on this matter.

Themandator:
They don't have data but their subscription is why I went for it... It is 1 naira and 2 naira per day and you get to pick your channels. I can watch a channel to day and drop it tomorrow.


If I get their voucher f3om their site it stays as long as I am able to mange it... No expiry date
I like war movie and they are good at it... I mean real life story war movies written from US armies experienc3 from war zones like Afghanistan

Please, which of their channels show the kind of movies you just described? I'm hoping to migrate on strong decoder soon.

dayo2hot:
Guys what clue or any advice will you give someone like me. My contact is Director at FCC. We have a cordial connection that he always picked my calls whenever I call him. Always replied to my SMS. Even call back whenever I called that's he didn't pick. Whenever I called to tell him that I don't mind any agency, he will just smile that God will do it.

With this level of cordiallity between you two, he is probally looking for the perfect placement for you. Maybe he doesn't want you to work "just anywhere". At this point, pray harder to God, as he himself has said that God will do it.

Reelmii:
why should u be responsible for the school fees of three siblings wen u can't even satisfy urself...

Africa and family mentality....

You won't understand

uvie66:
Did your parents give birth to your siblings for you to cater for them ?..... the upkeep of your siblings rest squarely on the shoulder of your parents.

I understand where you are coming from. This is exactly why I don't like to talk about my predicament in public. It's just a complex situation. Here is what happened:
Mum was doing very well in her foodstuff business prior to 2012, until her container was robbed the night after she had stocked up with products. They emptied her shop. This happened shortly before my admission came through to study in the university. I remember vividly how we all sat down in the parlour confused and sad when I saw my name on the admission list online. While many of my mates were happy to have seen their names, I was wishing my name didn't come out when it did. That was how she gave up the little savings she had left for my school fees...last last the container was eventually sold for the sake of my school. Dad already lost his source of income, but before I gained admission, dad had two lands. He sold them one after the other while I was in school just to make sure I graduate. I remember resuming 200 level almost two months after resumption (missed assignments and quizzes). Though I refused to tell them why I failed to resume on time because I don't discuss my situation with people, If any of my departmental mates see this part of my post, they will know exactly who I am.
My family have tried for me o. I will always help anywhere I can, even at the expense of my own self.

TheMostComplex1:
Did you do the interview? If yes rely on God you will surely get the job. He who has God has everything.

Bro, there was no interview because positions were not advertised. Slots were shared and people with connections worked it. I never had a chance.

darkgoddes:
You will reach and surpass it by God's grace.

Thanks very much. God bless you abundantly.

Houston17:
You could check out Ui/UX Design. Although, I have no idea the jobs can be done on a phone but check it out. You need to pay to learn some skills. Check on Coursera, apply for financial aid for the program of your choice and then start.

Thank you, sir.

1forall:
You do so at your own risk, please take note.

How so? Please, I'm Dm'ing you immediately.

GboyegaD:
It is good to help however, do not overwhelm yourself to the point of feeling depressed.

I understand, bro. But you won't understand what this family has gone through for my sake. I will do anything (except crime) for them.

Gaddafi1:
Quite sad that you are earning such a meager amount of money, I will say that a lot can still be done to come out of this situation. Some schools in the city like PHC pay as much as 100k for a graduate with your qualification. You can also do private lessons to increase your income. All the best

I did my national youth service in PHC 2018/2019 in one of the military schools. The school was so impressed by my commitment and hard work that the commandant wanted to retain me. Many of the staff wanted me to stay too. But tribal politics kicked in (I don't want to go into details, please). I had assurance of being retained right up to the month of my POP. By the time I realized what was going on, I had already passed out and had no where to stay and be looking for jobs in PH again. That was how I lost that one.

Thinktwicemybro:
I will advise you start a business and leave that job or start a side Hussle that your siblings can assist you with. Also try teaching for several schools instead of being loyal to one and earning peanut

Thank you sir. Much appreciated.

lol @ the bolded. Abeg no vex sir.
Could you please shed more light on the mechatronics training? May I dm you?

TotoNaRubber:
I will do giveaway
Quote and tell me what you need

I will like to learn web development, but it seems my phone will not be able to handle it. What I need now is a good laptop...or Keke for transport business.... or a good paying job
I hope any of this will be within your power. Thank you in anticipation.

Ficient:
Keep your degree aside first. Go ride Keke, okada or taxi. Even private lesson is better than your teaching job. You can drive Keke from morning till 2pm, organise private lessons for kids in a good venue from 4pm to 6pm three or four times a week. Once you close from lesson you hustle small with your taxi or Keke. Think outside the box, learn new skills. Don't tie yourself to that teaching job.

@The bolded, the guys are making it big in my area. I have been trying to get my hands on one, but the price is very much on the high side for someone like me. I have tried my luck with private lessons also, but many parents are not willing to go that extra mile for their children, unless you are willing to do it for free. Thank you very much for this comment. I really appreciate.

darkgoddes:
16k Hmmmnn. Nigeria which way? Pls I'm not bragging o but I think my brothers are lucky to get 30k each monthly from me.

This poster I quoted, 5k is small but if it isn't too small for you, pls send me a pm with your acct details.

They definitely are. I hope to reach such height one day that my siblings can benefit from me like yours are doing now.
And 5k is definitely not small. The offer is much appreciated, thank you.

CDMHELPDESK007:
Hello brother, Chat with this Man of God- *********** with the above information. HE is my father in the Lord and I know he will do something

Okay sir, I will reach out to him immediately. Thank you.

Silvernus2020:
Please, I would like to know how many subjects you're taking in that school, I once had a teaching job and I was paid #22,500 instead of #30k as agreed,..... And I was teaching Basic Science, Basic Technology, P.H.E, I. C. T, for JSS1 - 3 and for Basic 3, 4 and 5 I was teaching Basic Science, Quantitatively, Creative Writing and Speak Right, ...........

It's actually a primary school. Most of the secondary schools here pay around the same amount, then like you pointed out, I will have to teach more than one subject. That's why I opted for the primary school.

pillarmaria:
Which state do you reside?

Kogi State.

agent01:
Don't lose hope; everything will be alright bro.

Thank you sir.

alizma:
Oga I will advise you to save small money, then quit your job and learn "hand work". Learn how to fix car and house AC, tilling work or driving (private driver). You will thank me later.

Much appreciated, sir. Hand work seems to be the surest thing now.

ChiefSosa:
You don't have to leave your current job to start over; your current job is your means if survival. You have to dedicate some hours of your time to learn new skills/things. I can't even remember the last time I slept for
3-4 hours. NEVER PUT YOUR HOPE ON HUMANS. It has led to tears...VERY premium tears. That's just the sad situation we've found ourselves in this country. It's one of the reasons we're not progressing 'cause unqualified people are handling several positions. But, you just need to widen out. Go to certain places and meet people. I've seen people that got connections that led to jobs when they were discussing in public. A barber I knew years ago was sponsored abroad for his football career while discussing at the barbing salon. He was barbing my agbalumo head without realizing the next person was a coach. You just have to always make yourself available. Let people be aware of your qualifications and abilities.Years ago, I was with an older family friend at a shell company, so a man started having issues with a computer, he didn't know what to do and getting someone to fix it was a problem. I volunteered to fix it(to the surprise of everyone), and I was able to solve the issue because I've spent hours operating, spoiling and repairing the various computers we had at home. The man immediately offered me a job and I started working the next day till I went to the University. You just have to greatly expand your knowledge and skills acquisition 'cause you never know when you'll be needed.Move with friends that impact positive values to your life. Teach each other things. I taught a friend how to repair computer hardwares and he taught me how to barb. I apply my skills in my day to day life. I'll be turning 68 soon, hope you'll wish me long life and prosperity?

You are an inspiration, sir. I pray God grants you all of your wishes.
I handle computers excellently well (both operations and diagnostics) and it has been a saving grace more times than I can count. Currently working on expanding my skills soon probably into website development.

That's just the sad situation we've found ourselves in this country. It's one of the reasons we're not progressing 'cause unqualified people are handling several positions.

The school ended up not being able to recruit anyone for my department (Physics department), while recruiting more than needed for some departments (all those SOS, BUD e.t.c). I later heard that for months, some of the recruited assistant lecturers refused to show up for lectures. They obviously got the lecturing job through connection and you can't give what you don't have.

ChiefSosa:
Nowadays, you can't be relying of certain collar jobs; you need jobs involving your skills. Some barbers earn and spend more than that 16k a week. You need works where you're seeing the money. Salary work nowadays just seems like a waste of time, honesty! It's people with skilled jobs that are doing well now, because they're seeing the money and can spend without waiting for salary at the end of the month. I know some people that dropped out of schools to pursue skills and now they're doing better than some graduates. Even if you're working at some collar jobs, you should have Plan B, C and even D.

You are right with your submission. I have since discovered this, but that would mean leaving this current job and starting all over again. How then am I going to be able to handle these other responsibilities? My siblings had already lost some years at home just so my parents can focus on my education to see me graduate. It will be selfish to forsake them now.
Add to the fact that it will require some sort of financial investment as well as time to learn a worthwhile skill- both of which are not in my possession right now.
The biggest mistake any young man can make right now is going to university without first getting a skill. Or at the very least, you find a way to combine both. Unless of course you have been assured of a job upon graduation.
PS: A Federal College of Education, located just opposite my address did a recruitment which coincided with the end of my youth service. Lucky me, right? Well, I went there and a senior lecturer had this to say: "The school is desperately in need of someone with your qualification, but unless you know someone that can push your matter forward. Best of luck to you"

Originalsly:
Hmmmm....... I have no clue how people earning N30k salary survive let alone the unemployed..... so let me take a seat and hear from the ehmmmm...... magicians.

30K? I currently earn 16k as a teacher in a private school with my BTech degree in Physics/Electronics. Might I add that I am the first born of the family and currently solely responsible for the school fees of three siblings, and to a large extent, their feeding too? The depression alone no be here. I had such high hopes of securing a job after service. May God help us in this country.

Thank you both kindly. I guess I came too late to the party. I'm not up for the live tutoring sessions. If there are any similar opportunities out there, I hope someone will be kind enough to share them with me.
