Oduok:
I did not study education in the university though I love teaching so much. As I explained to my current employer that the reason I studied chemical engineering instead of chemistry education was so that I could have scholarship as I would have naturally not been able to go through university without some form of financial aid. I did one year internship in my field relating to oil sector but when I was to go for NYSC I decided I needed an education experience to add to my options of surviving after NYSC, incase oil job was not coming. I chosed a state that depends purely on education - Osun - as my first choice and was posted there for NYSC. Next thing was that I needed where I would really work and have the experience. Luckily enough I was posted to a private school where I served as a chemistry teacher: though I taught other sciences. I worked. I took the work serious. I learnt from those that studied education. I digested the handbook NYSC gave to prepare corps teachers. I needed an experience that would easily give me teaching job after NYSC. The effort yielded when my proprietor gave me an offer immediately after NYSC with an accomodation. I rejected the offer because I needed to move to an environment that my business and private engineering practice can sell, even as I work a a school teacher. Next one was when I was shortlisted for NPower scheme as an N-Teacher. I treated the offer with lack of interest since I knew we would be posted to public schools where teachers gain free money without challenging themselves with great tasks to develop themselves for the future. If my NYSC were to be in a public school I wouldn't have gotten the experience I got. I needed another private school that would give me more exposures to build on what I had - especially in practicals, and systematic teaching pedagogy. I didn't go for the NPower verification/deployment. I dropped applications in various private schools and was called by one on December. The aptitude test questions were pure education questions: bothering on learning domains, classroom management, pscychology of secondary school tenagers, evaluation methods, ethics of teaching profession, lesson note and lesson plan etc. I performed excellently and was invited for interview/microteaching which I performed so well and now I have been given the offer. This school is the ideal place I have wanted to grow a career in teaching. When I was to be given the offer, the proprietor asked why I didn't study education. Which I explained. He now asked how I intend growing in the career with no certificate as an educationist. I swiftly answered that I intend to make it up through mentorship and continuing eduction (PGDE) and he said the school would bear the cost of training me. So I want to encourage everyone: give your best to whatever life offers you for you do not know which one will be your source of open door. I love teaching. That is where my passion lies.

Congrats OP. Where is the school located? Like I always tell people that the key to success is to seek specific knowledge and face a specific direction and follow it up. If you save up enough cash, consider doing a PGDE (international), get an IGCSE certification and probably an M.ED certificate and watch schools come for for you. The schol you are even has a mere proprietor (no pun intended). There are a lot of schools that are far better. There are teachers that get 100k,150k,200k,250k and even as high as 350k take home here in Lagos. So, work on those things I told you and see that your school as a starting point. Cheers!

Hello,
Pls come to my aid.
My Mum died in 2009 and she has money in Skye bank.
Before she began the sickness that eventually led to her death I remember vividly that she sent me to deposit #50000 for her.
Since her demise none of us talked about it until very recently when the four of us met during Christmas.
We are sure she has money there, but we don't know her account details except the account name which is certainly her full name.

I was told if an account is not used for six years, it will be blocked.
Please is there a way we can get her account number, and the balance of the account. also what are the requirements to collect the money.
Thanks.

Hello Op. So sorry about your mum's demise. I have a lawyer friend who also doubles as a staff of skye bank. PM me so I can get the account name at least and we will pick it up from there. I also feel he is in a good position to tell you all necessary requirements. I could subsequently give you his contacts. Cheers!

So, most commentators failed to read the body of the message but read just the headlines. The importation of tokunbo vehicles through land have not been stopped. The importation was just paused momentarily for 3 months to give those that have placed orders enough room to finish off their transactions. The headline was misleading.

Trash! Who are the "they" he referred to? He could not even mention any name. Is APC a person? Okponu!

MissTechy:
Lol

Ha. You are laughing? Before now, I had watched a review by you and it was far better than this. This particular comparism is a sensitive one you know? This is Nairaland and whatever you do has influence in the decisions people make and that is why you have to be as objective as possible. I got an infinix Zero 4 and it was fantastic before it fell into water. The way you reviewed the Zero 4 + made it even look worse than Zero 4. You were supposed to lay a good emphasis on the fact that both phones; Zero 4 + and Phantom 6+ are so fantastic. However, you would like to point out some areas where one beats the other and leave the decisions to the buyers to read in between the lines and pick the phone that suits each user based on individual need but what you basically did was to tell us that the phantom 6+ is better and that is what people should get( may not be your intention though but that is what your review states).



People have different things they look out for in phone. Let me give you an example. My Zero 4 fell into water and I am going to buy another Zero 4 rather than a Zero 4+ or Phantom 6+ because I do not like phones with a 6 inch display, looks awkwardly big to me. Moreover, if you read up about TFA (Two Factor Authentication) involving biometrics/ genetics.......fingerprints , iris scanner etc, you will observe that a lot of people do not fancy the idea of an iris scanner in the US where it is used on a large scale and I do not like Iris scanner too. So, that is not going to make me get a phone. I do not play games so much and even if i need to, I consider playing high level games on phones as too extreme and that is why when I need to, I use my 12 gig RAM laptop or basically play on the console itself. So, a 4 gig RAM over a 3 gig RAM phone is not sufficient as enough reason for me to get the one with the 4 gig RAM as a 3 gig RAM can function effectively and superbly for a mobile phone. The fact that a phone comes with a 20 mega pixel + camera is not going to make me get it also because I am not a freak and 16 mega pixel is sufficient enough for me and so on ....

The point I am trying to make is that a review is supposed to objectively bring into buyers/ users features and effects of those features available in a device and then the user makes up the mind about getting it or not. Most people think that when a comparism is done, sides must be taken and that is a big NO particularly when it comes to technology. The idea of counting scores particularly when you know quite well that you will not talk about all the areas needed for a fair comparism and the ridiculous way you assigned multiple scores to opening of different apps seems biased and the way you were mentioning Lala makes it seem like a sponsored advert and that is very unprofessional.


Don't get me wrong. The phantom 6+ may be a better phone than Zero 4+ at the end of the day but the way you handled the comparism raises a lot of question on integrity. If it was an average person or a regular Nairalander that did this, I would have overlooked it but based on who you are and what you do, this is a big thumbs down or maybe you failed to realise that you have more fans than you think. I am one of your fans not even here on Nairaland. So, always subject whatever you do to good scrutiny and objectivity all the time before you paste them here. Cheers!

Plus234:
cry a river, as usually pained chelshit fans always looking for excuses

I expected you to come up with something better.So, this is the best rebuttal you have? What a shame!

Segadem:
My Oga, the thing tire me oh!
I have learnt not to criticize him again, because the more I criticise him the more his fans come against me,
...the only reason why CR7 will be picked ahead of messi is just because he has more fans than messi, and I will give the reasons
Reason No 1: many soccer loving fans prefer Madrid team to Barca ( or should I say they hate barca because of what barca has done to their loving club)
2: 80% of man u fans hate barca as a team if u consider what barca did to them on two occasion in the champion league final, and almost 90% of arsenal fans hate barca for the same reason, and what of Chelsea's? I can never forget the die-minute Iniesta's goal it was the last straw that broke the camel's back of all the Chelsea fans, my uncle nearly die from the heart attack he received from that goal
3: We all know that CR7 was once hero of man u, and u can't leave your hero and celebrate another's

On two different occasions, Barcelonia should not have even come close to playing in the finals of the champions league. I cannot forget how Chelsea was robbed. Pique glaringly handled the ball with his hands such that a blind man could see it but the referee ignored because of some orders from the top.2 late minute shots were handled with the hands and no decision was made right there in the box 18. No wonder Ballack and Drogba wanted to beat up the referee. Had justice been done, Barca would not even come close to playing in the finals. It is a well known fact that, at least 2 times Barca moved to the finals of the Champs league was through OJORO. So, what you wrote is trash. Barca may have dominated alot of teams in the past but not chelsea and at least 3 of her champs league triumph is tainted with ojoro and magomago.

sparrowkid:
Don't mind them. Corpers are surviving on just 19k per month. There are graduates in private schools that are earning 15k per month. Imagine in a state like Ondo that have about 6000 participants. That is about 180 million naira going into the state economy. This will no doubt boost the economy of the state as purchasing power of the people will drastically improved. Their problem with the scheme is that they had jubilated early when the programme was still at the planning stage and because of the cash crunch.

My argument is that with the scheme like this, people will be more loyal and patriotic to the country.

You are right bro.

No matter how little the NPOWER stipend may be, it is still highly commendable considering the amount of people that will be paid every month. This is a kind of thing that would not be possible under some other kind of leaders. The huge money that will be disbursed every month would have been embezzled by some unscrupulous fellows. This is a thumbs up to the government.

Swissheart:
...Same Sir,got my mail?

oh! I Just checked now via a laptop.Thank you so much. My phone mistakenly fell into water and I have been off internet for a while.

Swissheart:
See as op link them indigenous meals....Ofada Rice is quite tasking to prepare

Happy new year dear.

I do not know why people kept on saying this is a good review. In fact, this is a very poor review. Looks like you were paid for this. How can you keep on opening applications and then counting scores? If apps on the phantom load faster, that's just a 1....but you kept on opening different ones and counting scores. Who does that? That is so unprofessional. Moreover, you should have shown that it was the same network sim that was on the two devices when you were loading the web pages but you failed to do that. How do we know that it was a fair contest? Or don't you know what comparism means?
Moreover, you failed to review other critical aspects that are necessary but you just diverted the attention with your trip and so many unnecessary detail. I have watched several tech reviews on devices and I must say that this is one of the worst reviews I have ever seen. Slow down girl, you are going too fast. You had better watch it and be totally professional. Your review is a very sentimental one. I will suggest you do a better one.

Swissheart:
Hmmmn...Nice words. Merry Christmas Sir.

Thanks and happy new year in advance.

Swissheart:
Merry Xmas Dear naturalwaves.

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Merry Christmas sweetheart!

Swissheart:
I'll be glad to. I prepare my spag to taste too,though some friends say it is always too soft. I am good tonight,how have you been too?

I have been alright except for my tight schedules. I need your contacts as well. Warm regards.

Swissheart:
O my my!
I can like spaghetti ehn.
naturalwaves come and see.....

Wow! looks yummy. This used to be one of the best foods I could prepare ( Uni days). I remember my friends always begging me to please prepare it for them. I have lost touch with those skills now though but I can still try. You are going to come and experiment it when I want to give it a try again. How art thou?

It is such a shame to see that most of the commentators on this thread lack basic comprehension skills and have very low IQs. The president was only trying to say that we need unity and full cooperation to move the nation forward and not asking anyone to consider other options.

chumaster:

***see my armpit o, hair no dey am o!

Infact, I had to erase what I typed before where I put down different statistical figures in order not to stir controversies but just know that a very high percentage of women have done women before. Some have stopped while another very high percentage of them are bi's.The girl child needs protection, they are too weak emotionally.

trexlewis:
AND what have you done personally to better the lives of this girls? Can you employ them? What's your contribution to the girl child hawking in your street, am sure she's a dirty girl and deserves no help from you. I think you should shut the he'll up!!! Before you judge this girls and what they do ask yourself what you have done personally to support that poor girl in your place of work, school, church and other social gatherings. If you haven't helped in anyway hide your face in shame and shut the he'll up. Don't quote me cause I won't reply.

Sorry to disappoint you. I have done more than enough within my capacity. Moreover, I do not understand why you lots are being senselessly sentimental. If you have a girl child and she goes to a place where sex is used as a bargaining power, would you ask her to take it up? Abi na only ABS dem dey do IT? (That is, if the hogwash written up there has any iota of truth anyway).

chumaster:
you are right, but following it this way will only empower those high profile rogue the more; hence will continue using what is meant to empower the youths for their evil purposes.

Or should the girls use because of this and stop going into modelling cos as along as those rogues are there, they will persist with their evils

Lol. You have a point too but most ladies you see are far from what you think.Have you not been observing the ladies reactions since this issue started on this forum? Put 1 and 2 together.

chumaster:
are you implying that the issue is left uninvestigated


This is the time 'Public Accountability' is being championed by you president.

Every rogue behind this issue needs to be exposed.

Why not? It should be investigated but the guy was being more sentimental than being factual. Moreover, this is not a case of trafficking for prostitution or something. The said ladies are adults and decided to explore with some people for cash(assuming the hogwash is true). Again, when has it become a crime to have agreed sex with an adult?( assuming the hogwash is true again).The said TV man has no case to answer.Infact, a good lawyer will have the case dismissed in less than 20 minutes. Moreover, how did he come about with the notion that it seems a gun was pointed at them (The most stewpid thing I have ever read). Afterall, the said girl said her face was super-imposed. The deed is already done.Playing victim mentality or trying to unnecessarily show sentimental solidarity to promiscuous and morally useless ladies makes no sense.

The writer of the article is a big eediot. How can he claim someone uses the girls as sex slaves against their wishes.Is it a must to do IT in a place or participate in a beauty peagent at your own detriment and loss of diginity( That is even if the hogwash is true). He even said the video looks like a gun was being pointed at the girls faces to do the acting. This is the most stewpid concorction I have ever read in a long time.

Wasn't expecting an epistle so looking tho. I am fine thanks.

I get. It is well jare. My stolen phone had kept me offline.

montezz:
Naturalwaves what do you think

I think cheating on a partner shows a lack of respect for the partner and the relationship. In relationships, respect is even more important than love. In this case, the lady did not only cheat but cheated recklessly till the point of getting pregnant. Haba!

Well, what has been done has been done. If the lady hadn't been caught, she would have continued which shows a disinterest in her current relationship.

The point is..... People should learn how to communicate while in a relationship. It is not a do or die thing. If you do not feel someone anymore, why not tell him or her? If you wanna share your body with someone else, then put off your current relationship. It may hurt your partner but won't hurt like cheating. He or she may even appreciate your sincerity.

Like they say, to err is human, to forgive is divine. The best thing to do is to forgive but accepting back is based on the nature of the offended person. You know, different strokes for different folks. How do you do?

estimate 3m naira total package to land lagos

Thank you for your prompt response.

What's the total landing cost of TOYOTA CAMRY 2011 SE?

Swissheart:
awww. So sorry about that. Maybe you should get a good sleep first then get back to it after having bn relaxed. Weldone.

You cannot even get a good rest when you are dealing with a programming issue. If you sleep, you will see it in your dreams . When the brain calms down it will be better and that's why I am cooling off. Will try and sleep well too like you adviced. ThanKs. Why are you awake this time too?

Swissheart:
Thanks,I won't. I am fine,how are you too? Surprised you aren't fast asleep,anything?

I am cool but under a bit of pressure working on a coding problem( computer things) but not making a headway. Quite painful.

Swissheart:
Aww.....trust me. By the time i am done,you would see that Pepper is the main ingredient for that soup. So,you get the trick? . Thanks for using me as the ever appealing cream,so thoughtful of you. No worries, the idea behind making you the pepper is a good one.

I see! Good one but don't make the pepper excessive so you do not burn your tongue. How are you?

Swissheart:
Since everyone is cooking, lemme list my ingredients

naturalwaves(pepper)
kennethchidi(salt)
fynestboi(onion)
Funjosh(palmoil)
SwissIbra(Freshfish)

. I wonder what the motivation is for making me the pepper. Pepper better be your favourite ingredient. Well, cos I am a nice guy and wouldn't wanna subject you to the intensity of fire from my gas cooker, I will make salad and use you as the cream. Fair enough right?

Wonders shall never end. You are a business person and you blocked someone on whatsapp for making enquiries. If your intents are pure, you would not do that. I think he thought it was an inspector investigating a stolen vehicle. Your action shows that the vehicle itself may be a stolen one.
