Dangote should just let it go. Not like forfeiting the mining site will make him poor.

@eliok or any other person. Please can I design my Paperback cover with Canva?

I don't know how to use Photoshop and Corel Draw.

You can. It's quite easy, especially if you already have the image you want to use.

Wow. I can't believe what my eyes are reading. Some people only think of themselves. How would you wish this upon your own country? Not like you're a citizen of another country!

Your own country?

These sets of people hardly sit there asses down and develop a real skill that'll fetch them that real money they crave. All they think about is quick money.

And they will only increase. The world has grown impatient. Even parents will force their children into some of these nefarious acts because they don't want their own friends to look better than them.
I've seen parents telling their children to go into 'yahoo'. It's really pathetic.

Maybe it's because they see money a everything in life.
It's the reason celebrities are worshipped. It's the reason why anyone flaunting wealth with reckless abandon is seen as the standard, the one to aspire to.
It's become worse in recent years. When you decide to stick with a legit means of making money, you're seen as a lazy guy, one without prospect.

in order to have a good paperback

Step one
Download the paperback template PDF by page number from amazon.

Step two

Design a picture cover in any software you have . i use Photoshop.

Step 3.
Add the picture to your already downloaded paperback PDF. This should be done in Photoshop. Or online.

Step four
Take note of the number of pages of your book. It affect the spine . and reduces correction from amazon.

Step five
Ask for the video if you don't understand what I'm saying.

There you have it

In your paperbacks, do you leave the spine bare or you design it. If you do, how do you go about it?

Good gesture. We must never tolerate acts of rape or violence such as these perpetrated by demon-influenced individuals.
If you give evil a yard, it takes a mile.
Rape should never be celebrated.
Rape jokes should be frowned on
Rape cases should get stricter penalties.
Enough is enough!

The IPPIS doesn't have any package for payment of allowances to lecturers. Therefore, It's only the basic salaries they now earn. So how does federal government expect them to call off the strike and diligently work when they are forcefully enrolled into IPPIS and striping them of some allowances that make their salaries tangible.


BEFORE YOU CRITICISE THE LECTURERS TAKE A LOOK AT THIS;

Take home salary for lecturers after IPPIS deduction without allowances:
PhD LII is #130,000
PhD LI is #163,000 plus min. 3 years post PhD
Senior Lecturer #235,000 plus min. 6years post PhD
Professor ��‍� #345,000 plus min. 10 years post PhD
Senior Professor ��‍� #423,000....
Minimum of 3years gap with hard work. Many spend as high as 5years before they can move up the ladder of promotions.

REMEMBER
From these peanuts of a pay;
They teach a crowd for a class
They supervise multitudes
They attend conferences from their pockets
They attend seminars from this peanuts
They write and publish articles in reputable journals (enquire the cost of publishing).....etc
They undergo rigorous stress to carry out research.
They spend minimum of 4 years in BSc
They spend minimum of 2 years in MSc
They spend minimum of 3 years in PhD (in Nigeria is near impossible they even spend upto 5 years and above).

Consider their rigours, the pain, the emotional trauma, physical drain, brain drain, intellectual drain they go through just to be qualified for their job specification...

I think our Lecturers work like elephants and earn like ants, they deserve a better pay or renumeration.

In terms of welfare:
You know that 50% of your lecturers don't have good offices/furnitures.
Most lecturers lack good working environment.
Most lecturers handle/teach a crowd of students yet they still try to deliver lectures in such environment (instead of the normal 30-50 students class size).
Most Lecturers supervise projects at their expense.
You want his best yet you deny him the best.

When you compare this salary with those of other Federal Govt agencies it's very very ridiculous.
If you compare it with Universities abroad then Nigeria �� salary scale for lecturers is infinitesimally small.

Before you criticise them;
First put yourself in their shoes.
Could you have studied to PhD just to earn #130,000?
Could you have invested the better part of your life upto Prof just to earn #345,000?
Think! They may not have been the best they should yet they are among the best in the world especially if they are giving the right environment to practice.

Before you criticise ASUU/Lecturers think.
Except you are happy with the state of the university system.

NO COUNTRY CAN GROW BEYOND IT'S VALUE FOR EDUCATION.

Copied and reviewed

It doesn't make sense at all. That's why some lecturers have to engage in other nefarious activities to make ends meet. These activities include accepting bribe for mark and lecturing in more than one tertiary institution. Instead of our government to look for ways of bettering the learning environment in our tertiary institutions, they are trying to cut down on the little the universities survive on. This is not the ideal and should not be encouraged in any way.

Looks dope. Let's hope he brings something good to the table.

Although I like Messi for his remarkable talent, it's Cristiano Ronaldo that strikes me the most. He's the complete player. He's a role model for young players everywhere for his dedication to hardwork, his never-say-die attitude, and the resolve to keep getting better. If only Ronaldo had stayed at Real Madrid...

I've laughed too much this morning!

Currently listening to a podcast focused on indie publishing. The stats shows that children books are really selling this period. Authors might want to release more children books.

Let him be paid. You can't imagine how traumatized his family would have been all the while he was kept in custody, their name soiled and everything. The least DSS can do is to pay him.

Wow. The world will miss him. A rare gem.

He did well. Justice should follow immediately. When you cook something, you should stick around to taste it.
