Which Nigerian activist will be welcomed by a President or Governor outside Nigeria or within Nigeria itself?

WHY will they be in a country where money will make them turn against the populace they were meant to protect? The BBOG group is a good instance

Whether you skim a blog post, peruse files for work, or browse through a book, you most likely do some type of reading every day. But slogging through dense passages of text can be time-consuming, mentally exhausting, and hard on your eyes. If you want to read faster while maintaining reading comprehension, check out these seven tips.

1. PREVIEW THE TEXT.
Viewing a film’s trailer before watching the movie gives you context and lets you know what to expect. Likewise, previewing a text before reading it prepares you to quickly gain an understanding of what you’re about to read. To preview a text, scan it from the beginning to the end, paying special attention to headings, subheadings, anything in bold or large font, and bullet points. To get a big picture understanding, skim the introductory and concluding paragraphs. Try to identify transition sentences, examine any images or graphs, and figure out how the author structured the text.

2. PLAN YOUR ATTACK.
Strategically approaching a text will make a big difference in how efficiently you can digest the material. First, think about your goals. What do you want to learn by reading the material? Jot down some questions you want to be able to answer by the end. Then, determine the author’s goal in writing the material, based on your preview. The author’s goal, for example, might be to describe the entire history of Ancient Rome, while your goal is simply to answer a question about Roman women’s role in politics. If your goal is more limited in scope than the author’s, plan to only find and read the pertinent sections.

Similarly, vary your plan of attack based on the type of material you’re about to read. If you’re going to read a dense legal or scientific text, you should probably plan to read certain passages more slowly and carefully than you’d read a novel or magazine.

3. BE MINDFUL.
Reading quickly with good comprehension requires focus and concentration. Minimize external noise, distractions, and interruptions, and be mindful when your thoughts wander as you read. If you notice that you’re fantasizing about your next meal rather than focusing on the text, gently bring your mind back to the material. Many readers read a few sentences passively, without focus, then spend time going back and re-reading to make sure they understand them. According to author Tim Ferriss, this habit, called regression, will significantly slow you down and make it harder to get a big picture view of the text. If you carefully and attentively approach a text, you'll quickly realize if you’re not understanding a section, saving you time in the long run.

4. DON’T READ EVERY WORD.
To increase your reading speed, pay attention to your eyes. Most people can scan in 1.5 inch chunks, which, depending on the font size and type of text, usually comprise three to five words each. Rather than reading each word individually, move your eyes in a scanning motion, jumping from a chunk (of three to five words) to the next chunk of words. Take advantage of your peripheral vision to speed up around the beginning and end of each line, focusing on blocks of words rather than the first and last words.

Pointing your finger or a pen at each chunk of words will help you learn to move your eyes quickly over the text. And it will encourage you not to subvocalize as you read. Subvocalization, or silently pronouncing each word in your head as you read, will slow you down and distract you from the author’s main point.

5. DON’T READ EVERY SECTION.
According to Dartmouth College’s Academic Skills Center, it’s an old-fashioned myth that students must read every section of a textbook or article. Unless you’re reading something extremely important, skip the sections that aren’t relevant to your purpose. Reading selectively will make it possible for you to digest the main points of many texts, rather than only having time to fully read a couple.

6. WRITE A SUMMARY.
Your job shouldn’t end when you read the last word on the page. After you finish reading, write a few sentences to summarize what you read, and answer any questions you had before you started reading. Did you learn what you were hoping to learn? By spending a few minutes after reading to think, synthesize the information, and write what you learned, you’ll solidify the material in your mind and have better recall later. If you’re a more visual or verbal learner, draw a mind map summary or tell someone what you learned.

7. PRACTICE TIMED RUNS.
Approaching a text strategically, reading actively, and summarizing effectively takes practice. If you want to improve your reading speed, use a timer to test how many words (or pages) per minute you can read. As you’re able to read faster and faster, check in with yourself to make sure you’re happy with your level of comprehension.

VANITY!

I saw a post on front page today on the first 30 commissioned officers of the nigerian army and got fascinated by a name. i have always heard of the gallantry associated with this name whom i had taken as an imaginary figure hitherto. A search about in google brought this piece of history back to life. . .

GENERAL CONRAD NWAWO (1922-2016)
https://theyesng.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_4375.jpg


General Conrad Dibia Nwawo from all accounts was a soldier’s soldier. Accounts of his numerous exploits as part of the United Nation’s Peacekeeping forces in Katanga, Congo, led by General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi are legendary.

His exploits as a commander of some of the fiercest Biafran forces, the 11 Div, the 13 Div, and the dreaded Biafra Commando Forces, are also, for a generation that lived through that era, nothing short of the heroic – the source of much myth. Conrad Nwawo was a warrior, born as he himself once acknowledged, of the lineage of warriors. But he was not “eaten” by war; he lived a long, and storied life. General Nwawo died this past February in his Onicha-Olona home in Delta state, and he was laid to final rest this past weekend at his Akwubili, Ogbeobi home in Onicha-Olona, Delta state.

Conrad Nwawo was in the very eye of the storm of modern Nigerian history, and was a key player in the events that shaped the foundations of modern Nigeria in very unique ways. Born in 1922, Nwawo was educated at the Aggrey Memorial School in Arochukwu, run by the legendary Dr. Alvan Ikoku, and at the Ilesha Grammar School. From 1944-46, Conrad Nwawo trained at the School of Agriculture, Moore Plantation, and thereafter worked as an Assistant Agriculture Officer Grade III in Ibadan, and briefly in the Cameroon. He transferred to the colonial Civil Administration as clerk in the Accountant-General’s office in Kaduna in 1948, while also taking private tuition for the University of London degree in Economics, passing part II of the Inter B.Sc. in Economics in 1950. In December 1950, Nwawo resigned from the Civil service and proceeded to join the then Royal West African Frontiers Force (RWAFF), and was posted to the 3rd Battalion of its Nigerian Regiment.

He later had officer training at the West African Command Training School, Teshie, Ghana, and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in 1953, after completing his training at Eaton Hall Officer Cadet School, Chester, England. Conrad Nwawo was subsequently posted on secondment to the British Army of the Rhine, in Germany. This was a very tactical posting as the Second British Army on the Rhine formed the tactical forward command of British contribution to the NATO alliance in the event of war with the Soviet Union and the Warsaw pact. From there, after his brief stint, Nwawo was posted to the 4th Battalion of the Nigerian regiment in 1954. It was a crucial moment of decolonization and expansion of the officers Corp of the Nigerian regiment. Conrad Nwawo was one of those real, and very few pioneers Nigerians to be selected and given officer training in an essentially British Army. He was number 10. His experience as a military officer was varied: he began as platoon commander at the 4th Battalion; trained in military logistics and intelligence; and was instructor in tactics and Military law at the Nigerian Military School Zaria. In 1963, Nwawo was awarded the prestigious Military Cross (MC) for bravery by Queen Elizabeth II following his actions as part of the Queens own Nigerian Regiment of the United Nations peace operations in the Congo. After Katanga, Nwawo attended the United States Army Command and General Staff College in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and thereafter posted to the Nigerian Army’s 5th Battalion, and from there, sent to the Nigerian Military Training College, Zaria, as Chief Instructor. Among Nwawo’s many students in Zaria include Buhari, Babangida, and many others who became Generals, and ex-these and that’s in Nigeria.

In 1965, Nwawo was promoted to Lt. Colonel, and sent to London as Military Attaché to the Nigerian High Commission at the Court of St. James. He was in that post on January 15th when Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna led the first coup to overthrow Nigeria’s first republic. That coup, now generally known as the “Nzeogwu coup” on account of the remarkable role played by Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu possibly changed the trajectory of Nwawo’s life. Nzeogwu had held out in Kaduna after the collapse of the coup in Lagos, and announced himself in charge of the North, and by many accounts was mobilizing to march on Lagos from Kaduna with his troops to complete the failed coup, and take Lagos now under the firm grip of General Ironsi. To avert what would have been the first civil war, Ironsi reached out quickly to Conrad Nwawo in London, who was summarily flown down, and sent to Kaduna to get Nzeogwu to stand down. It was known that Nwawo who had been Nzeogwu’s instructor at the Military School Zaria in 1960 was close to him, and that Nzeogwu had the highest regard for him. It was indeed Nwawo who got Nzeogwu to abandon his plans, surrender, and agree to go with him to Lagos to meet with Ironsi. In the military reorganization that took place as Ironsi assumed power, he appointed David Ejoor, Military Governor of the Midwest, and Conrad Nwawo, the Military Commander of the Midwest Area Command.

The period between January 15, 1966 and July 6, 1967, were bitter and terrifying times that challenged the basis of Nigeria as a nation, and tasked the loyalty of individuals and groups following the events that defined those moment. People had to take stands, and assert loyalties, and so it was with Conrad Nwawo. The wave of killings of Igbo officers following the July 1966 counter coup drove many Igbo officers to seek refuge closer home. Igbo officers from the Midwest like Gabriel Okonweze and Chris Emelifonwu, for instance, had been prominent casualties in the event. The Midwest Area Command under the leadership of Colonel Nwawo soon became the refuge for these officers as they returned to safety. Nwawo led good men – Trimnell, Ochei, Okwechime, Nzefili, Igboba, Ogbemudia, and so on, with Ejoor as Military governor of the Midwest. The Nigerian civil war was brewing heavily, and began with the first shot fired by the Federal forces at Gakem and Nsukka on July 6, 1967. By 9 August 1967, the Biafran Liberation Army commanded by Brigadier Victor Banjo with Emmanuel Ifeajuna as his chief of staff overran the Midwest on their way to capture Lagos. It has been said that this lightening operation had the silent support of the majority of the Igbo officers of the Midwest Area Command, who merged forces with the Biafrans, and allowed them safe passage. We may not yet know the full details of that campaign until, perhaps Nwawo’s unpublished memoir is set to print. But what is clear is that Nwawo and his cohorts took a stand. The idea of the Midwest as a neutral buffer to the East was mostly an illusion, particularly as Gowon had set up a combat force led by Murtala Muhammed set to cross from Idah through Auchi and Agbor towards the Niger, circumventing Benin-city.

The Biafrans only acted more quickly in anticipation, and without question, with collaborative intelligence provided by the Nwawo-led Benin Area Command. The failure of the Midwest operation made Nwawo’s position, and the position of the Igbo officers untenable in Benin, especially with the wave of the massacre of the Igbo in Benin and on to Asaba, following the entry of the federal forces into the Midwest by September 20, 1967. Nwawo fought on the Biafran side, and distinguished himself as a military commander. He stopped the crossing of the Federal Forces at Onitsha, and he fought through a messy ambush in Umuahia, and cleared the Biafran capital of the Nigerians, before it finally fell. Nwawo was a General of the Biafran forces, and in his interviews was unambiguous about his choices. For Nwawo, it was an inexorable call to duty. He had few choices. He was a well-loved military leader, a courageous and brilliant war tactician, and he was in the end one of those who made peace possible, and of whom it must be said, never stood at the sidelines while history passed them by.

I don't know why am always meeting materialistic ladies

Although I didn't do much dating at school, but the few I had were so demanding. Meanwhile the reverse is the case for my guys.

Am not the stingy type, I love to go out on dates , once in awhile​ hand out not so expensive gifts but cool gifts. Send airtime if I can.

But the kind of gals I meet eh

I need money to make hair 3k...

I need money for one silly thing or the other and so on.

Virtually putting responsibilities​ that belongs to her father on my head.

I tend to yield to some because of konji sometimes, I can't die na

I always admire my friends​ babe. She is so content. I mean I can't even describe how cool she is.
She actually paid for my friends final year fees and supported him when he had family issues. I know there lot of ladies like this out there , but why am I yet to meet one

Okay this happened to​ me last week at ICM. Saw this chic looking all good. I didn't dull we started talking exchanged contacts , immediately we got home started chatting on WhatsApp , in my mind was already happy my have got an honest one.

Next day was a Saturday. Woke up na she they my mind

Started chatting immediately , cut long story short , she asked me for 3k , I nearly mad.

I mean am yet to even ask u out and u had to make that request.

This threw me off balance, and I had to take a long pause and think. It's really scaring me cos am in the point of my life where I have to be serious.

I just can't phantom out wat the problem might be.

Is that am too fine Cos hell yeah I am ( don't ask for my pic)

Or they money smell on me when I walk

Money isn't my issue, but I don't just want to build a relationship around a liability gal.

I would really appreciate good and solid opinions especially from married people.

Thanks

Pamelayoung:
Sir, pls I need a job in the maritime sector as well. Can you please be my mentor?

Well I went through the maritime school.This is the only way I know. Its a high risk zone and i won't even encourage you to come in until you are properly trained.


It pays to master the sea trade though

You just told us now

In addition to ICT certs, I'll recommend safety certs especially those looking to work in the engineering sector. I am in the Maritime sector and believe you me, here certifications are not something - they are everything. You won't even be employed without your basic safety cert (we call it MANDATORY for a reason.)

Which kind thing be this again?
I don't support jungle justice yesterday and I won't start now.

[color=#990070]I say do not sentence him to death, no that'll be too merciful.
Send him to a lifetime in a maximum security prison where hardened and seasoned homosexual inmates are. There he'll be raped on the clock in the anus till he curse the day he first sucked breastmilk.
Satan will gladly surrender to some human beast such as this. Gush! [/color]

I hope you know that with each repair, your device losses second hand value.

It is not my fault the manufacturers did a shady job on their product. I biught with my money and expect optimum service from a product I buy while retaining my value. It is their right to give me that

Oga Mynd44 no mind all these tecno defenders here. Let them keep promoting fakes and mediocrity.
A product of 5 days gives a fault with normal use and you say fix it. A replacement is what he should get period!
That's how I bought Tecno w1 for my sales boy and the thing started giving issues in a month. I took it back and was ready for Armageddon but they found its a faulty battery and gave me a brand new battery.
We as citizens of this country should rise up and start demanding our rights squarely. we shouldn't be taken for a ride by all and sundry in our own mama kitchen o

See BABA warn anyone wey im name na Sandra Taylor to stay off my FB foreign account o. No come make Facebook ban me o.
