Family › Re: Would You Take Your Kids To This Boarding Schools? by NL1960: 12:52pm On Jul 24, 2015
Anamachi3:
For where, I no fit try am o. Coz these kids are badly influenced by some bad students especially nw the trend of lesbianism
endowednicky:
my dear,even in Day school,things happen.............you won't follow ur child to her/his class and sit with them!and you won't b there to monitor them 24/7




Its just the grace of God dat see them through.
@Anamachi3 should also know that even if you decide to leave the child at home and employ teachers to be teaching him/her at home, that does not stop him/her from being badly influenced. We have heard of how children have been molested by their home tutors.

Iam a supporter of the boarding system any day. With the distractions now all over the place, boarding is a better option these days.

Wheels are my first and only suspects.

1. Wheel balancing; a conservative way to deal with this is by swopping the rear tyres to the front and vice versa. Test drive to see.

2. Bad wheels. Let your tyre technician check for swollen moulds or twists on your tyres.

3. Bad shafts can also cause this.

Please let's know when and how this is solved.
On the bold, by tyre technician, do you mean the vulcanizer?.

My apologies for not getting back on the thread on my findings.

I went to an auto repair garage and after test driving it, a diagnostics was run and done on it. The car was jacked up and the diagnostics done.

After the diagnostics, a quote was given to me for the following:

(1) Front Hub

(2) Shock Absorber (front)

(3) Hub Bearing

Iam still looking for the money.

Another thing i have noticed is that i started having this issue when i changed my servicing, wheel balancing and alignment place to another. I normally do them in one auto workshop but last xmas, they messed me up by not opening on an xmas weekend and i wanted to travel for xmas. So i had to do them at a filling station. The filling station does not jack up the car. So i have decided to be doing only servicing at the filling station while i look for an auto wheel balancing and alignment shop that jacks up the car to do the wheel balancing and alignment.

Can you share the info you got from Fidelity?
https://www.fidelitybankplc.com/index.php/products/savings-account

It is called Fidelity SWEETA Account. I was told by a woman who operates it for her child that they normally do an end-of-xmas party for the kids that have a certain balance.

You can also have a live chat with somebody from their website where you can ask any question. I was particular about the withdrawal conditions because i intend to be depositing a fixed amount every month and may withdraw if need for school fees and i was told from the live chat that i could do that.

Education › Re: Toddler:4 Reception Classes Before Basic/pry One? by NL1960: 2:52pm On Jul 06, 2015
TopeMel:
Dearies,

At what age can a toddler start school and what numbers and letters must they know how to write at age 2 and half years? Most schools around me have about 4 classes before basic one and they seem to be going at a snail's pace.
Those 4 classes is for you to pay more and parents especially women do not want their children to grow up. They want to start boasting to their neigbours that their child is already schooling at the age of 12 months even though such a child is finding it difficult to say daddy and mummy.

When i decided to leave my son at home till he was 3 years before he starts school, my wife was mad because his juniors have all started school but i maintained my stand. He started from Nursery one at 3 years because he was born in September. The school did not want to admit him into Nursery 1 but into reception 1 saying that he cannot draw nor write and i told them that the required age for Nursery 1 is 3 years and if they are not admitting him into Nursery 1, i was going to take him elsewhere and that was it and he was admitted into Nursery 1 at 3 years old. He is going to enter JSS 1 by September this year whereas those that started before him are still in Primary school. He passed the Entrance of the 4 competitive schools he took.

In Summary, iam a great advocate of allowing a child's brain to develop before being pushed to school.
Family › Re: Is Anything Wrong With My Wife's Question? (pic) by NL1960: 3:58pm On Jun 30, 2015
@OP, this is normal especially for a daughter and father. My wife has accused me several times of loving our daughter more than her. I normally laff and jokingly tell her that she is now old school while the girl is the new school. Your girl is just a year old and your wife is already complaining. Just brace up and your wife should also brace up because the affection from your daughter is going to increase as she grows older. My wife is already smiling at the prospect of our daughter entering secondary school boarding house next year. To her thinking, that will reduce the competition.

Mature advice needed. There is dis lady i recently meet and fall in love with, she has a daughter of nine years from unprotected sex and for some reasons she doesn't intend to keep relationship/marriage with d father of her daughter. The problem now is dat her daughter is so use to her that she doesn't want her out of site. We rarely have moment alone, worst of it is dat she even create scene whenever she tries to keep off our present and this is beginning to give me concern. In as much as i don't see it as crime having a baby by mistake, i think i deserve a happy relationship like every other person.
This OP is not serious. You want to date a lady with a child and you think you can bypass the child. No way. Get the trust of the child first by being friendly with her and you will see what will happen. When i was in the dating game and i want to date a lady and i see her having siblings, nieces and nephew, i first of all become very friendly with them. I will just bounce in and announce that iam taking them out. They will then be the one doing the chasing for me.

The question is 'what was you career goals while studying Computer Science?. If you did not have any, no cause for alarm. It now depends on the area or aspect of computing you are now looking at. If you want to go into programming and software development, you can do a professional course in Java. If you want to go into Database Administration, you can do a course in Oracle and Linux. If you want to go into Networking, you can do a CCNA course. If you want to go into IT support, you can do a course in Project Management (PMP).

I would have advised you to have taken Lumen christi uromi,I have a son there as well and they are academically high,not minding the distance,quality is the watch word...
I know about Lumen christi very well and iam also from Edo. A girl is following my boy and she will likely enter secondary school next year. So i have to take her into consideration. If the boy goes to Lumen christi, the sister school to Lumen christi is Presentation Benin and i have not really heard much about them and i do not think that they have been able to catch up with Lumen christi. Another consideration is that on a visitation day for boarders, the logistics of moving between Uromi and Benin will be too much because both schools operate the same structure. Anyway, my boy is going to Saint Gregory, Ikoyi which is also a Catholic school while iam projecting Holy Child which is the sister school of Saint Gregory for the girl.

I heard that deeper life school is very good. so try that,am also in the same dilemma,my son passed 3 Catholic schools in edo state,am still undecided.
Not really easy. To make it easy for you, i guess you originally had a first choice, second choice and third choice before your son started writing the various examinations. That was what i did which helped me to easily choose when my son started passing all the schools i took the forms. He passed Lumen Christi in Uromi but distance consideration made it to drop from first choice.

DLHS is good. My cousin who is a pastor's son attends d school (Ibadan Campus) and all of us have seen changes in his life. Considering d fact dat he was stubborn and lazy before we put him in dat school bt all dz have left him and he has changed totally. I don't know wat dey gve or teach dem in dat school. His academic performance has changed positively also. Am not advertising for d school bt only commending dem for how dey have transformed my cousin positively.
The first thing that these religious or missionaries school teach you is disciplined. There are always a set of rules and regulations that have to be strictly followed and obeyed and such rules and regulations are no respecter of anybody even if you are the child of the President. So when you see that there is no preferential treatment for you, you have no choice than to be serious. This is where such schools have an edge over the private schools. My son went to do the entrance examination into one of the missionaries schools. He told me that two boys that were making noise and disturbing to the extent of drumming on the desk in the examination class were told to come out and kneel down in front of the class after being warned not to to disturb.

I normally travel on my Toyota Corolla 2007 model (Bank Type) bought brand new in 2007. During the last Easter break and this weekend when i traveled, i noticed that when iam on between 110 - 120km/h, it starts vibrating. The vibration starts stopping once it is passing 120km/h. It does not vibrate when iam doing 130-140km/h. It is very smooth from that speed. This is strange. What could be the problem?. I normally do balancing and alignment before i travel.
