Have you found someone who might be a good marriage partner?
If so, how can you tell if that person is right for you?
It’s vital that you look beyond superficial traits. After all, the cutest
girl may not be trustworthy or the most popular boy may not be
morally upright. You want someone you’ll be comfortable with—
someone who truly fits your personality and your goals.
Looking Beyond the Surface
Look at your friend objectively. Be careful, though! You might be
inclined to see only what you want to see. So take your time. Try to
perceive your friend’s true nature.
Many who date don’t look beyond the surface. Instead, they
quickly point to the things they have in common: “We like the same
music.” “We enjoy the same activities.” “We agree on everything!”
However, you need to look beyond superficial traits. You need to
discern “the secret person of the heart.” Rather than focus on how much you agree on things, it might
be more revealing to note what happens when you disagree.
For example, consider the following:
How does this person handle conflict—by insisting on his or her
way, perhaps giving in to “fits of anger” or “abusive speech”?
Or does this person show
reasonableness—a willingness to yield for the sake of peace
when no issue of right or wrong is at stake?
Is the person manipulative, possessive, or jealous? Does he or
she demand to know your every move? “I hear of dating
couples who fight because one person can’t stand that the
other hasn’t constantly ‘checked in,’ ” says Nicole. “I think
that’s a bad sign.”.
How is that one viewed by others? You may want to talk to
those who have known this person for some time, such as
mature ones. That way you will know if he
or she is “well reported on.

its a brilliant idea i think.

I have a little story to tell. It may provide a little insight
into one of the most daunting challenges that will
confront the new government of Muhammadu Buhari,
President and Commander-in-Chief of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria. Even as I narrate it, I am not so
sure what lessons we can draw from it.
I will narrate it nevertheless. It started almost four
years ago when I visited Maiduguri, the city most
afflicted by the Boko Haram insurgency.
The crisis is fueled by an army of youths in an area of
Nigeria that has a large number of the estimated 16
million (or more) out-of-school children in the country
that may harbour the highest concentration of illiterates
in the world, plus an ocean of unemployed,
unemployable and unskilled youths, who see nothing
beyond the bleak future that lies ahead of them. That’s
why joining an insurgency that promises temporary
relief becomes a viable and attractive option!
I met with the governor of the State, Kashim Shettima,
and in a few brief minutes told him about the sports
academy in a little village in Wasimi, Ogun State, and
my idea about how the school may alleviate the poor
situation of a few of the youths of Borno State, who
were unable to return to school as a result of the
insurgency.
He listened with rapt attention. I told him we could use
the passion of the youths for sports (football in
particular) to convince some of the those with talent in
football to enroll into schools outside the troubled state,
to keep them in the schools, to give them some
education that they essentially need, provide a full dose
of their youthful passion and fulfill their dream one day
of playing professional football and becoming famous
and successful like Tijani Babangida and Jay Jay
Okocha.
Governor Shettima immediately took up my offer to
send a few Borno students that were temporarily not
going to school to Wasimi in South-West Nigeria, an
experiment that would be the first of its kind in the
history of the state and, indeed, Nigeria.
The International (Sports) Academy is a non-profit NGO,
a secondary school for children gifted or interested in
sport, but who might have difficulty with their
academics but seek opportunities to pursue their
football dream.
The Academy does not discourage any of its students
from choosing to play professional football, it only
ensures that they do so after acquiring a basic
secondary education, an absolute necessity for every
Nigerian child that wants to avoid the pitfalls
associated with illiteracy and the almost certain difficult
life after sports!
The insurgency in the North East of Nigeria provided a
perfect backdrop for my experiment.
Governor Shettima persuaded me to admit five
students from the State. The motivation for the lucky
students for the programme was the opportunity of
high-level football training, plus exposure to
competition and international scouts. The academy
promised all of that plus an education and a get-away
from the theatre of the orgy of killings in Maiduguri!
Within a few months the State ministry of education
conducted a selection process and sent the five
students to the sports ‘laboratory’ in the heart of
Yoruba-land, a bold experiment of the impact of such
exposure of youths at such a young age to such
cultural orientation.
The students arrived the academy at the start of the
2012/2013 academic session. They were supposed to
have just completed their Junior Secondary School so,
they were all enrolled into SS1.
One week into the session the school’s principal drew
my attention to a shocking discovery. The students,
brilliant with their football ability, were far behind the
other students in their academic capacity.
Indeed, two of them could neither read nor write. Their
communication was limited to a few words in broken
English. The difference in the standards of education
between that part of the country and the South was
clearly apparent.
Obviously, the Borno students had thought they were
coming to a typical football academy that would open
up for them the opportunity for a possible place in
professional football in Europe. Academics were not
emphasized to them. They discovered that only after
they arrived the academy and found that they had to
engage in the academics, obviously a new journey that
will test their will and spirit to the limit.
Recall that two of the students could not speak any
English and so could not follow the teachings in class.
The other three were a little bit better as they could
communicate a little and had an understanding of what
was being taught them.
We had very few options what to do. What we knew we
would not do was to send them back to the hell in
Maiduguri. We had to make the best of what was a very
challenging situation.
Let me cut a long story short.
This is the third year into our experiment. It has been
very fruitful for the students and enriching for the
academy.
We dropped the two students with the most problem
from the SS1 class, as they could not cope. We created
a new classroom for them with two specialist teachers
in English and Mathematics. With the help of the
National Mathematics Centre in Abuja we set up a
centre in the school specially for the teaching of
mathematics. The centre now supports not just the two
students but also the entire school.
The academy also set up an English language centre
for the accelerated teaching of English language for
those with learning difficulty!
So, for the past two and a half years the two students
that could not cope with the SS1 class work because of
their initial lack of communication skills have been
studying English and Mathematics. In the past year
they have included a vocational course in photography
into their curriculum.
The other three students have caught up with the rest
of the class and are ready to enroll into a university!
They are presently sitting for their WAEC examinations.
The ‘miracle’ is that none of the five students is now
eager to go to Europe anymore to pursue a football
career at the expense of their education.
Indeed, the two students training in professional
photography returned from the last holiday break with a
new and exciting proposal – they want to return in
September 2015, spend one extra year and attempt to
sit for WAEC! That’s how ‘hungry’ they have all now
become for education without diminishing their interest
or even their chances in professional football. They
have both passed their proficiency ‘tests’ in English
language and can now communicate well and
effectively. They are now very comfortable with their
numeracy. How quickly they can catch up in the other
subjects in the next year to enable them sit for WAEC is
now our exciting new challenge!
The work the academy has done with the Borno State
children will make an interesting case study for the
Federal Ministry of Education. A British educational
curriculum design consultant has already been in
Nigeria examining the methodology and curriculum that
have transformed these students from where they once
were to where they now are.
They have become the ambassadors of a unique
aspect of the work of the academy. Their peers in
Maiduguri who have been trapped in the warp of the
Boko Haram insurgency for the past three years would
envy them not just for their new academic
achievements but also for their proficiency, their new
found confidence, their very improved football skills and
their very bright prospects for a good life into the
future!

Don't let us fool ourselves,all of this promise cant be realize.

Your shoe size can tell ur age. Grab ur calculator and try this: here is how it goes;

To foster its National Clean Cooking Scheme, the Federal
Government has released N5billion for the purchase of stoves
for rural women across the country. The programme was
launched by FG to discourage the use of Firewood for cooking.
Announcing the release of the funds, Minister of Environment,
Laurientia Mallam, speaking during an inspection visit to the
Velodrome at the National Stadium, Abuja, where some of the
750,000 stoves were being assembled, said the stoves will be
distributed through the various Ministries of Environment.
According to reports, the contractor, Messrs Integra Renewable
Energy Services Limited has been given N1.3 billion from the N5
billion released by the Federal Government for the purchase of
the stoves. President Jonathan is to inaugurate the programme
today.
“We started in the northern parts of the country because of the
challenges we are facing there with the desert encroaching into
the country and people still cut down trees. Now, the President
wants it to spread throughout the country and so we have this
project. The ministry has received N5 billion so far. You know
when N9.2 billion was approved by the Federal Government last
year, we told Nigerians that N9.2 billion has been approved by
the Federal Government. But so far, N5 billion has been released
to the ministry. We have given the contractor 15 per cent, which
is N1.3 billion. That is what we have released to the contractor
and we still have N3.7 billion in the ministry’s account.” she
said.

How this con bring money f my bank account.rubbbbbish!

Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, says he believes that the
President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, cannot be worse than past
presidents because he will be guided by a sense of history.
He, however, said that he “is cautiously optimistic” about Buhari’s
performance.
Soyinka said this while delivering a lecture titled, ‘Predicting
Nigeria, Electoral Ironies’ at the Harvard University Hutchins
Centre for African and African American Research in the United
States, according to a gazette by the institution.
A former US Ambassador to Nigeria, Walter Carrington, had asked
Soyinka if Buhari could reform Nigeria like the late Singaporean
leader, Lee Kuan Yew.
In his response, Soyinka said he was optimistic. He added that
Buhari might deal ruthlessly with corrupt politicians.
Soyinka said, “I am very, very cautiously optimistic.”
He predicted that Buhari would be influenced by those around him
to “keep his nose to the letter of the law. In his zeal to absolutely
eradicate corruption, he might take advantage of ambiguous areas
in the law and the constitution to empower himself to deal very
ruthlessly and quickly with those who have robbed the nation
blind.”
Soyinka reasoned that Buhari was unlikely to do worse than his
predecessors.
He, however, said it would be naive for Nigerians to think that
Buhari is the messiah.
He said, “I think that Buhari has a sense of history. He knows that
he must make a mark, a very positive mark, on Nigeria to be able
to live with himself, or die with a clean conscience. We must make
sure that Nigerians are not allowed to forget his past. They should
not think that the messiah has finally arrived.
“I think we stay on guard and continue to do what has needed to
be done for the past 20 years or so.”
Soyinka said he believed that terrorism would continue for a long
time because those perpetrating the act were of the belief that they
were doing God’s work.
He said, “We will never get rid of Boko Haram. They are jihadists
who wish to impose Sharia law and ban Western learning across
Nigeria as indoctrinated. They are fanatics who believe that if they
die in the cause, they will go straight to heaven where they believe
literally in the 77 virgins awaiting their arrival.”

Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has denied describing Igbo as
people who vote based on their stomach.
Some online media had quoted Soyinka as saying Igbo were
politically naive while delivering a lecture titled ‘Predicting Nigeria,
Electoral Ironies’ at Harvard University Hutchins Center for African
and African American Research in the United States.
He was quoted as saying “Igbo remained unrepentant and resolute
towards their strategic objective of secession at worst; or a
Nigerian president of Igbo extraction at best.”
However, Soyinka said in a statement on Thursday that it was
unfortunate that people could tell lies against him.
The playwright described those peddling the rumor as morons
who have ulterior motives.
He said his entire lecture delivered at Harvard University was
recorded on video and anyone who was interested could access it
on the Internet.
He said, “I have just read a statement attributed to me on a news
outlet, evidently one of the Internet infestations. My lecture at the
Hutchins Center, Harvard University, was video recorded. Anyone
who believes what I am alleged to have said must be a slowpoke –
repeat, a slowpoke.
“It is demeaning, sickening and boring to have to deal with these
cowards who cannot fight their own battles but must fasten their
imbecilic pronouncements on others. Only the mentally retarded
will credit this comment attributed to me regarding the Ndigbo
voting pattern in the last elections.
“I strongly suspect the author of this despicable concoction, and
may make a further statement, once the source is verified.”

if he later die.dem go say nah him mama mama dey follow am.nonsense.

Begining of madness,if they are looking for mad people dont be surprise this guy will be in yaba left.
