rezzy: okay. Thanks.

Im learning everyday

You are welcome sir.

rezzy: thank you

The correct saying is "It is better to be late than to be the late".

1) Slow and steady wins the race : I think this is wrong, it should be "slow and steady completes the race". If you are slow and steady, you will definitely complete your race someday but not necessarily win it.




2) There is a Yoruba proverb that says....Aro meta kin da obe nu which mean.....Three stones ( those ones cooking pots are usually put on) cannot pour off the stew. I think this should be " Three WELL PLACED stones cannot pour off the stew" because of the stones aren't placed well, the whole pot will pour off.

@Op, I know almost all these schools particularly those ones in Lagos. Remove Barachel model college from the list ASAP.



The best secondary school in Nigeria is LOYOLA JESUIT COLLEGE, ABUJA in all ramifications.

ggirl4real: I love dis. I wish these can really work out on all occasions. In a situation where a female student is really out to get a male teacher at all cost, she'll do all within her powers to make sure she succeeds. I pray God should help the male teachers who have made up their minds not to compromise, to realy stand tall in d face of all the advances

Yeah, you are very correct, so many nasty experiences but once your mind is off it and you just see them as your little sisters, you will be able to cope well. A funny incident even happened recently. After talking with one of the senior girls in my office( academic based discussion), I said "okay, bye bye, regards to your parents" and continued reading the newspapers. When she was leaving(I didn't pay much attentiin), she quickly gave me a peck and ran away. Can you imagine?

When you teach female students, the best thing is to avoid all forms of too much familiarity and you will be fine. There is no how you wouldn't like at least one of them too (not necessarily for dating), that's a normal thing.

Another thing I observed about female students particularly in a girls only school is always the battle of who gets the young, intelligent teacher, so, it is not uncommon to find them throwing advances at one. Some will tell you "my dad said I should collect your phone number" which is usually a big lie. The best way to tackle such is to say "give me your dad's number, I will call him". Their best bet is usually through social networks. There was a time my facebook request was almost 500. The best thing to do is never to accept the requests because even the few responsible ones I accepted (about 5 of them) will always bug you with chats and all.


If you also try solving problems for them when they are close by, they have this funny way of resting their b*obs all over you just to show you they are big girls or to make you see you haven't been looking well, so, any teaching to be done should be done on the board.

It is not uncommon also to see that female teachers so much jealous female students and that was how I knew women are generally the same thing whether girl, lady, woman, grand mum etc. They envy the attention male teachers give to the students(even if it is purely academic based).

All in all, it is a normal thing for young girls to have crush on one, nothing abnormal about it but it is one's responsibility to help them through this phase of ravaging hormones and all as they are still immature(even if they have grown so big and all) and naïve. It won't be a good thing to capitalize on that. If one wants to flirt, there are more than enough girls around aside students. So, dating a student should be a no go area no matter the attraction.



The funny thing is that once the students observe that this teacher is not the randy type despite all the advances, they tend to respect you more and they solely focus on other more important things like academics, they tend to pay more attention in your class, update their notes, do assignments promptly and all.

If you give your best to the students, they will give their best too. They cherish teachers that dedicate their time to them to help them through academics rather than the randy ones. So, I wasn't surprised when on my birthday, despite the fact that I didn't tell anyone, all the classes I went to sang "a happy birthday song" and when I got back to the office, I got like 7 big cakes from different persons and groups (imagine what it will take them to save for such) and gifts were more than 100 even some ex students came to say a happy birthday and brought gifts as well. My happiness was unquantifiable! My point is, making a positive impact is far more rewarding than falling for a mere temptation or capitalizing on individuals that do not even know what they are doing. May God help us!

Is this supposed to be a make up for the inconsequential thread of yesterday? . Anyway, this is better.

lebesgue: I have nothing intelligent to add to this discussion. I'd like to apologize for taking up this space.

Lebesgue the maths genius! How are you?

Iamzuna: Sup bro... Just wanted to ask you which you think is better... Messi's goal yesterday or Okocha's goal... No debating ooo... Just yes or no..

Sorry, I didn't see the match , I will download tye highlights in my spare time. Didn't you see Ronaldo's hat trick too?

habiolah: You two should get a room jare...
and park well. lol

Hahahaha, funny dude.

Lily4star, I am here.

safarigirl: I'm telling you now, that I've come across tall, large women who won't mind a guy like Ime Bishop...

This explains my point exactly. The statement "who won't mind" is indifference and not preference

safarigirl: I've met ladies who like short guys, to them, tall guys are 'less'

Lies would do you no good. No lady prefer a shorter guy to herself. She may not be too crazy about a very tall dude but ladies like someone a bit taller thannthem or same height don't make it sound as if the ones you met readily prefer a short guy. Some ladies are also indifferent about height and that does not necessarily imply prererence for short guys.

I think we shouldn't really blame safarigirl, she is just a little teenager and in her penultimate year or so in higher institution, so, she knows little or nothing about life but truth be told, her comprehension level is too poor, this is what you get when teenagers spend too much time on social media rather than educative stuffs.

Moreover, she is a tribal bigot, argues sentimentally, has a caustic tongue(or should I say caustic fingers or betterstill, caustic brain cos that's where the whole thinking comes from), she likes attention and the best ways to get such are by being ridiculously funny , hovering around the romance section with ftequent posts or being controversial. I guess it has been a while her name has been mentioned here hence the reason for this useless post that is fit only for the bins and into the bins it must go. Rubbish!

Lily4star: Better, oya apologise for the tears you just caused

I am sorry. *takes handkerchief from pocket, wipes her tears*

Lily4star: What do you mean by you ll try?

If you don't watch it don't buy me the chin-chin again, I don't want

I won't even attend to my busy schedules tomorrow because of the match. I will watch it. Give me a smile.

Lily4star: Muuuuuuuah thanks baby

Don't forget to watch my Darling United beat Leicester City tomao ok?

Okay, I will try to

Iamzuna: I know why... Its because you love Ronaldo and everyone i know that likes Ronaldo as well like Mourinho.... But it would be nice to have that debate... i no go talk too much but i will just be countering every point you bring up

.That does not apply to me though. I like being as objective as I can not because I love Ronaldo. I love Messi too. I love Pepe and Mou but khakhi no be leather( debate for another day).

Iamzuna: Another topic i would luv wud b Pep Guardiola vs Jose Mourinho. I knw Naturalwaves will be happy bt Pep na my man anyday anytym

Hahahaha. I wonder why we are always on opposite sides.

Iamzuna: What he meant was for the shot to hit the target even if the keeper catches it.

I have been giving you some benefits of doubt regarding being a sentimental Messi fan but you just confirmed it with this point of yours. Was the freekick he ballooned over the bar against Germany at the world cup accurate? Several times, I have watched Messi whine the ball totally off target, even in the match against Germany at first half, he blew a one on one chance when his shot went off (parallel) the keeper's left vertical pole. Let's be objective when we argue. Messi does not have a 100% shot accuracy except if your definition of 100 % is different from the normal one.

Iamzuna: Yes boss. To keep Ronaldo out or mark him out does not mean he cant score goals. Now kindly unpark! !

very hilarious! You made it look as if he was pocketed. I will take your laughing smiley as eating the humble pie, you lost on that particular point.

Lily4star: Unu still dey here?, isokay, continuuu.

Naturalwaves did you hear Iamzuna? ,

Pleaaaaase come and buy me my own chin-chin with wey dem use Ronaldo nylon wrap

Trust me, I don't give excuses, come over and let's go buy you a basketful of customised Ronaldo chin chin.

Iamzuna: Yes he is.

He said 100% shot accuracy. Not goals

What is a shot accuracy? What type of shot or freekick is called an accurate one? Can't wait for your answer.

See you all tomorrow. Will reply mentions and all tomorrow. Good night everyone.

[quote author=Krasid][/quote]@Iamzuna, have you seen how it relates to what we were talking about?talking about Puyol, Alves and co.

Iamzuna: And all the ones Ronaldo took?

Where did I say Ronaldo has a 100%freekick and shot accuracy? That I disproved his point does not automatically mean Ronaldo has the exact converse of what is being disproved. Let me ask you a yes or no question....was what he said correct?

Iamzuna: Wetin i don win before i start sef.. I dont know how all these things work ooo.. I only know how to comment and post... mesef just dea read say mod mod mod...

The moderator for the sports section are "semid4lyfe" and "honeric01". Let me shout well, so ,they can move it......semid4lyfe, honeric01, front page.

uzolexis: MESSI is the king of soccer,I love them both and really like watching them play but Messi rules IMO

The IMO tag you attached to it settles it. That's the safest way to be , trust me! *winks*

Fixgoo: If you watch world cup and post world cups you will notice that messi has a 100% freekick and shot success

.
Yeah, particularly the last one he took against Germany at the final of the just concluded FIFA world cup. It was 100% accurate into the hands of those at the stands.

Iamzuna: True talk Bro... because this is the greatest Rivalry in the History of football and everyone need to add a thing or 2.

Yeah. I think I should give you an assignment. Find out who the mods are and metion their names for a front page move. That's your punishment for not winning the argument

Iamzuna: Never. For the fact that i said that Messi single handedly win matches does not mean that he will do that in all matches. No player, i repeat no play has had an effect on a game (and i mean amount of game, not every game ooooo!!!!) like the way Messi does, at least not since i started watching football. Every players have good and bad days but Messi on his bad day still makes the difference like in his last 2 matches.

Oh, so you knew players normally have on and off days and you( or was it that other dude?) were comparing last week's match in which Ronaldo scored a penalty with Messi's better performance. Hmmmmm, talk about double standards.

mubarakopeyemi: Wow! Will these arguements end sha :/

Hahahaha. Na you set house on fire, You come run go when house begin burn. I think the mods should even move this to the front page. It will be such a pleasure reading other people's opinion.
