| Career › How Far Have You Gone? by Opetech(op): 8:24am On Jul 31, 2015 |
Few days to the end of my service year, I had cause to visit a private clinic for treatment. I had visited the Federal Teaching Hospital (FETHA) but was told consultants attend to only 30 patients per day because of the industrial action embarked upon by resident doctors. Before a case file could be opened for me as a first timer in the hospital, the consultants were done attending to patients for the day. Two options were laid before me, to return early the next day and be among the first 30 patients or seek the services of a private hospital. To avoid story that touches the heart, I chose the latter. I mounted a motorcycle to the nearest private sickhouse and immediately I stepped into the hospital lounge, I saw a bold inscription adjacent the entrance which reads: "HAVE YOU EXAMINED YOUR LIFE TODAY?" Below the inscription is a big mirror which you don't need to be told to look into. For ten minutes, my eyes was shuttling between the inscription and the mirror. Several thoughts raced through my mind. Part of my new year resolutions was to seek prompt medical attention whenever the need arises, but it's been two weeks since I had been down with sickness without seeking proper Medicare. I thought of many of my new year resolutions that I had not been faithful to. My discovery was that, so far, in the last six months, I was yet to evaluate my progress as regards my hopes and aspirations for the year. To what extent have you achieved your set goals for 2015 ? In the past seven months, when last did you check to see if you are still on track? An unexamined life is not worth living, Socrates said. Examine your life today so as to make the remaining five months of the year worthwhile and fruitful. It is never too late to be better than you were last year. How far have you gone this year? http://www.lifebuildingtips.com/2015/07/how-far-have-you-gone.html?m=1 |
| Career › You Think You Know? by Opetech(op): 9:58am On Jul 29, 2015 |
A story was told of a young innovations manager whose company has just been acquired by a foreign investment firm due to economic challenges. This young innovations manager got wind of this information and after considering that change of ownership of the company will ultimately lead to immediate downsizing, rendered his resignation. He thought it is more honourable to rain than being sacked. Two days after he resigned, the Managing Director of the company summoned him and had this to say; "The news of your resignation came as a shock to me. A recent review into your profile, gave proof of your ability to make successful innovations and solve problems creatively. This has qualified you for the post of the new innovations director, by the standards of our new investors. Sadly, you are resigning; nevertheless, your assistant seems the next most eligible for this position. He will take up this new role. I wish you success in your next career role." The young manager left and never forgave himself. His assumption simply cost him a great opportunity. In our lives too, we often make assumptions that later costs us greater things. Many had lost promising relationships, long term friendships and lifetime opportunities by simply assuming certain things without making clarifications. Others have set the vehicles of their lives, careers and marriages into reverse mode by thinking they know. Many have even lost their lives in the process, death that could have been avoided. Be patient enough to seek clarifications and establish the truth in situations and circumstances. Before you "assume," try this crazy method called "asking." You think you know? Pause and challenge it's validity today. You may be in the process of making a costly assumption. http://www.lifebuildingtips.com/2015/07/you-think-you-know.html?m=1 |

| Romance › Are Women Really The Weaker Sex? by Opetech(op): 10:01am On Jul 28, 2015 |
Alright, I promise to keep this short. Recently, I walked in on my friends debating who the weaker sex is; a phrase used to refer to the female sex. Online dictionary has it that it is used for humorous effect but sometimes perceived as condescending to women, reinforcing the stereotype of a weak female. They had just read a news publication in a national daily. The paper had reported that graduating female students of an International school dominated their male counterpart by sweeping 32 out of 36 prizes on offer at the school valedictory. The paper reported further that the principal of the school said, girls are now doing better than boys in academic up to the university level. Well, I don't know what to say to that, but a female graduated top of my class. My friends were frantically trying to defend their respective gender. Ade in a bid to convince our female friend, Sade that he is stronger cited several examples. However, Sade appears prepared for us. She said, in the first instance, humans ought not to be labelled by their gender but by their inner strength. She added that it is the reason there incredible female builders, athletes, doctors, politicians, and even army recruits. Of all, what struck me in Sade's argument was when she said, "You think women are the weaker sex? No! Just flash a guy some flesh and he looses control." She went on to narrate how a senior employee was shown the door of a company where her uncle works simply because he got laid by a female employee, interestingly, the lady involved was never fired. Few days ago, I stumbled upon a publication by another print media, describing the recently held MTV Africa Music Awards as a place where ladies in the entertainment industry went to display their boobs and body for sale. The comments and the fantasies that greeted the publication on its online platform mostly from guys, makes me want to agree with Sade. Ooops! I have promised to keep this short. The question is: "Are women really the weaker sex"? Let's have your thoughts and opinions in the comment box. http://www.lifebuildingtips.com/2015/07/are-women-really-weaker-sex.html |
| Literature › I Found Love (A True Life Story) by Opetech(op): 8:22am On Jul 27, 2015 |
The sun had withdrawn its rays and the moon taken cushion. Several thoughts razed through my mind as I fixed my gaze at the wonderful stars that has taken positions on the deep blue sky, sparkling as chips of silver does upon a blue carpet. I had just finished my final degree examinations and felt so relieved. I was sitting in solitary at a popular garden which regularly play host to 'love birds' that comes to whisper sweet words to themselves under the covers of the night. I wanted time to have a thorough thinking about the popular question asked every graduating college student, "what next?" Two different career lectures was organized for final year students, one by the students affairs division, the other by my faculty, but none seems to address my problem. It's not that the programmes were not eye opening, but I seem to have a problem peculiar to me, there is the issue of passion and there is the Nigeria society. I chose a dark place where I could see people walking through the garden but without been noticed. I was still weighing the path to take, when I heard a rustle in the grass, a 'couple' appeared, walking side by side. Suddenly they stopped not too far from where I was and the guy looking around, apparently to make sure no one was watching, started talking, at a moment all the crickets there agreed to stop chirping. "Gloria" he called, "You have nothing to fear, for fear in love is sin." We will get married after my Masters degree." "After your M.Sc?" Gloria asked in what appears to be the first time he will be bringing up the topic. "Yes" he replied, "my dad has approved my going to the UK for Masters degree. " "Wow! that's lovely, but I want to do my Masters degree in macroeconomics, you know that has always been my dream." Glory retorted. Adjusting and looking straight into Gloria's eyes, "You will definitely have it, I'm talking dad into letting you pursue yours to outside the country, but that's after you have married me. We will also be spending this vacation in Dubai, are you satisfied?" The guy questioned. Gloria thundered "Yes I am", and with all ecstasy planted a passionate kiss on her boyfriend's lips. After about 30 minutes of hot romance, they walked away, the same direction they came, stepping on flowers of the grass, as the rich steps upon the heart of the poor. That was what I described as love with "terms and conditions." I began pondering on what I've just seen and heard, comparing MONEY and LOVE. MONEY! Answereth all things, the love of it is the root of evil, it is the source of insincere love, the well of poisoned water and the desperation of old age. I was still lost in this thought when another couple walked past me, in a direction opposite to the first. They sat on the turf, hand in hand with the guy's shoulder serving as support for the girl's head. Some moments of silent passed, before the girl started speaking. "Sweetheart, I didn't agree to date you so you could become my ATM nor start taking me to the most expensive fast food joint in town, but because I was convinced you are the one, there would be trying times, but trust God who divinely brought us together to help us through such periods. God is love, so be rest assured that even if I ever leave, it is to the future and we are going together because we belong there together." Standing up abruptly as if bitten by a poisonous creature, she said, "I have to go now before the gate to my hall get closed against me, I love you." "I love you too," the guy replied. So that night, I got the true meaning of love. LOVE! Grows despite adversities and obstacles, it is not self seeking, flourishes in spring, keeps no record of wrong doing, warms in winter and bears fruit in summer. That night I found love - GOD IS LOVE. http://www.lifebuildingtips.com/2015/07/i-found-love.html?m=1 |
| Career › 5 Advantages To Taking Online Course by Opetech(op): 7:57am On Jul 25, 2015 |
As the trend of studying and earning certificates and course credits online continued to grow, many are still yet to take advantage of it. I started taking opportunities that online courses has to offer about 10 months ago when I suddenly fell in love with photography. Despite paying for my photography classes, my tutor told me what is expected of every apprentice. I must do more of self study, both theoretical and practical, if I ever want to produce amazing pictures. Hence my foray into online learning for photography course. Here are 5 advantages to taking an online course. 1. Convenience I remembered walking into my first university course, taking my seat among at least 1000 students in an introductory physics class. There were more students in that class than my entire secondary school. I could barely see what was written on the board nor hear the lecturer, the public address system was not addressing the public, it wasn't a pleasant experience at all. Studying online is convenient as the hassles of rushing to classes, trying to beat traffic does not arise because study is done in the comfort of the home. Study time can also be planned to suit one's daily schedule. 2. It's relatively cheap Online courses are cheaper to undertake. Going to a regular school costs tons of naira in terms of tuition, cost of transportation and textbooks. The only resources needed for successful learning is access to the internet. Fortunately, proliferation of smart phones has made accessibility to the internet on the go easier. Course materials are also available free in various formats for download free, eliminating cost of purchasing books. 3. No Drama Maximum concentration can be given to online study as there are no dramas associated with it. It is devoid of distractions by course mates or sexual harassment by lecturers who will not stop failing students until the girl does the needful. 4. Ease of Communication and Networking Students can easily communicate with their teachers online as well as network and relate with their colleagues. Online tutors respond to students' questions promptly as each student often has a tutor assigned to him or her. I enjoyed a robust tutoring while taking my course last year. 5. Technology skills Students who afford themselves the opportunity of learning online improve their 'computer' skills through accessing course materials in different file formats, submission of assignments and classwork as well as participating in learning forum. Proficiency in computer skills is numerous in job openings today. Online courses have come to stay no doubt. This is however not to say it is here to replace the traditional method of learning which involves attending lectures in the walls of the classroom. Here are some recommended sites to take good courses online for free: MIT OpenCourseware, Khan Acadamy, ALISON, edx Have you taken any online course before? Let me have your experiences and thoughts in the comment box. http://www.lifebuildingtips.com/2015/07/5-advantages-to-taking-online-course.html?m=1 |

| Career › 5 Things You Should Drop From Your Life Now by Opetech(op): 7:05am On Jul 24, 2015 |
There are some things we engage in that often draw us back or prevent us from achieving set goals. The earlier these actions which slow us down in the journey of life are done away with, the better for us. Life expectancy is short (even shorter in Nigeria), to go through it with excess baggage. Ever wondered why athletes put on light and tight-fitting sportswear? It's because they need to be as light as possible. Man is said to have an average life span of 70 years. The first 20 years (usually 30 in Nigeria) is spent in the walls of the classroom, making mistakes and trying to prepare for the next three decades. The last 10 years is spent winding down. So a Nigerian has an average of 30 years to make meaningful impacts in all ramifications. These period is meant to be enjoyed and gratifying. So, here are 5 'things' you should as a matter of urgency drop from your life. 1. Negative people around you Negative and pessimistic people are energy drainers. They don't see anything positive about life. Their thoughts, words, actions and expectations are most times towards negativity, probably due to their unpleasant experiences or how they were brought up. Instead of spending time with such people, focus on the positive people instead. There is no reason to continue to be friends with people who make you feel bad about yourself every time. Now is the time to trash negative-minded people around you. 2. Trying to please everyone Ever heard of the saying "bad food is made by chefs who are indifferent or who are trying to be everything to everybody?" Are you men-pleaser? I realised late that it isn't possible to please everyone that I come across in life. As someone who has been opportune to lead various youth gatherings, the more I tried to please everyone, the more I upset everyone. I never wanted to get on people's nerves and so found myself displeasing myself to please others. As much as you should be a good person, don't trade your happiness in trying to be on everyone's good records, you only loose in both ways. 3. Saying "Yes" all the time When saying "Yes" incoviniences your life, say "No" instead. Will you still utter yes if it puts your life on the line. I remembered the song I was taught early in life, don't say yes when you mean to say no". 4. The past No matter how much you sob and dwell on the past, you can't change it. The lessons can however be valuable as you progress in life. You can make amends, apologize for past wrong doings, the past however remains the past. To avoid been drained emotionally, leave the past where it belongs, which is in the past. The time spent regretting past deeds can be channelled towards productive ventures. 5. Worrying about the future Perhaps you haven't come across that portion of the holy book which says "which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his life span?" I used to be a worry champion, not until I realised it solves no problem, rather, it aggravates it. I worry about everything, even bizarre things. Imagine worrying about the school my unborn kids will attend. Spend time today preparing for the future. Remember, there is no prize nor crown for a worry champion. Above are the baggage you need to trash from your life to live a fulfilled life. http://www.lifebuildingtips.com/2015/07/5-things-you-should-drop-from-your-life_23.html?m=1 1 Like |
| NYSC › My NYSC Year In Retrospect by Opetech(op): 8:55pm On Jul 22, 2015 |
When my NYSC call up letter mandated me to report at the NYSC permanent orientation camp, Old Macgregor college, Afikpo North L.G.A of Ebonyi, state, it was like pouring a chilled bucket of water on me. This was because I had my service year planned out. I was absolutely sure of serving in a Southwestern state, together with my friend who was later catapulted to Benue. And so, on the 4th of August, 2014, I embarked on a long distance journey by road. For the first time in my over twenty years of birth, I crossed the Niger bridge. I marvelled at the architecture while speaking to myself, "this is the bridge I read about in my primary school days." We soon got to Anambra, South East's commercial nerve center. I grew more impatient, it's been over 7 hours since my bottom has been glued to the sit, to worsen the matter, I sat at the rear. 10 hours after we left Ibadan, the Oyo state capital, we arrived at the orientation camp. The 3 weeks orientation course was the most rigorous exercise I've ever encountered. Worsening the situation was camping during the rainy season, I'm allergic to cold. It was however fun towards the end. I met different categories of graduates. Those who wrote 'single' for relationship with next of kin, or one contestant for Miss NYSC who gave the full meaning of A.T.M as 'Any Time Money,' (probably because her boyfriend gives her money anytime she ask him), a boy and girl caught having carnal knowledge of each other at odd hour on the parade ground. How would I forget in a hurry, those girls that fought and tore their 'white on white' over a guy they met barely two and half weeks ago. As for the scheme, how I'm supposed to master fish, snail and rabbit rearing within 3 days is a question still left unanswered. I was posted to a private school in the state capital for my primary assignment. I taught Chemistry for a whole year without showing the students a test tube, the school had no laboratory. As 'old' as I was, the students felt I was too young to be a graduate. Really? I said to myself, "these people never sheee something." The best moment of my service year was the opportunity to serve my country beyond the classroom. As a Presiding Officer at the 2015 general elections, it feels so great to be escorted to polling units by security agents with election materials and escorted to the collation centre with the result sheet. The people of the East are not bad as being portrayed. Yes! you read that. Throughout my service year, I lived in an apartment paid for by the church, free of charge and whole lot of interesting experience that space would not permit me to pen down. The service year further affirmed what I've always believed that irrespective of tribe or religion, there are only two kinds of people, the good and the bad. Lest I forget, returned to the Pace-Setter State not just with my Certificate of National Service, I'm also a trained and certified photographer. So don't hesitate to call on me for your events photography service at any time. Serving in Ebonyi was great, I hope to be back to the salt of the nation in the near future. Finally, I have served my fatherland, it is time for Nigeria to serve me. http://www.lifebuildingtips.com/2015/07/my-nysc-year-in-retrospect.html |

| Politics › Why We Can’t Proceed With Election –jega by Opetech(op): 6:08pm On Feb 07, 2015 |
The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Attahiru Jega, has concluded a briefing meeting with 25 civil society groups in Abuja Saturday informing them that all security agencies in the country have indicated to him, in writing, that they are not available to support the elections planned for February 14 Mr. Jega who had an earlier meeting with political parties is rounding up another meeting with his 36 resident commissioners now on what will amount to an INEC position on whether to postpone or go ahead with the elections. Insiders at the meeting said “its pretty much a done deal at this point that the lections will be postponed” and many of the attendees told PREMIUM TIMES they were shell-shocked and depressed at what they characterize as “a clear case of political blackmail of the state against civil society.” Jibrin Ibrahim, a leading African election expert and senior fellow at the Centre for Democracy and Development, CDD, in Abuja, who was at the meeting, said Mr. Jega told the meeting that security operatives from all the agencies told INEC that they were commencing a six weeks special operations against Boko Haram insurgents in the north eastern corridors of the country and would rather not be distracted by the elections. Mr. Jega announced that the security forces also said the operations are due to commence on February 14, the date INEC had planned for the presidential and other federal elections. This decision, by the security forces, successfully renders INEC’s hitherto insistence to go ahead with the elections a risky venture. To even collect ballot papers from their storage in the Central bank for the elections will still require security escort, which apparently is now unavailable in the light of the move by the security forces. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/176422-cant-proceed-election-jega.html |

| Career › What Are Your Aspirations For The New Year? by Opetech(op): 8:50pm On Jan 17, 2015*. Modified: 9:47pm On Jan 17, 2015 |
The year 2014 has come and gone, however not without its ups and down. I must however congratulate you for making it this far. Despite how rough and tough the year was, you are able to witness the year 2015. It is an opportunity to try again. What are those things you wished you had done in the last year? Or better still wished you had done better? 2015 is offering you a chance to achieve your dreams and indeed it is possible with the right attitude. Therefore as you journey through another 365 days, what are your hopes, aspirations and plans for the year? I am not talking about the “normal” New Year resolutions that we often forget before the first quarter of the year runs out. I am concerned about your concrete plans for the 15th year of the 21st century. Have you made any realistic plans and goals to run with? Or you just want to live each day of the year as it comes? One of the holy books says “write the vision, make it plain so that he that reads can run with it.” You cannot afford to live your life on trial and error. What are your short and long term goals? Are they realistic? Can you run with such a vision? Will it make you a better person than you were in the last year? Will you be able to look at the end of 2015 and say “I couldn’t have done better?” These are the questions you should ask answer yourself sincerely. If you haven’t plan for the year, it is never too late to do so. Pick a pen and paper to do this. Write out five (5) goals and aspirations under each of the following; health, education, relationship and career. For instance, under health, have a plan to eat balanced diet and to seek prompt medical intervention in case of any sickness. On education, you can plan and save towards getting that higher degree you had always wanted to pursue. You can also decide to take an online course to improve your knowledge (I’m currently taking one and I must confess, I’m learning a whole lot). Improve your relationship with your family, friends and relatives by giving them more time than in the last year. Also, make a decision to travel this year with people of like minds. You don’t have any business with people travelling in opposite direction to yours. Acquire more knowledge in your field by attending conferences and seminars to improve your career. Career change is not impossible. Make a decision to be closer to your God more this year, this entail first knowing the God you serve. The above are just guidlines to help you make your own plans for the year 2015. As you make these plans, make provision for review after every 3 months, access how far you’ve ben able to stay put to your goals after every quarter. You can’t do this diligently and remain the same at the end of the year. So, what are you waiting for? Time waits for no man friend. Make goals and start doing and before you realize it, a new you is the result. Have an unlimited year, go break forth.
