Venue of death, do not determine hell or heaven but how one lived.

Happy for the mum.

"Meanwhile, a member of the Otor-Iwhreko community executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity, hinted that the incident might be connected to some lingering issues relating to revenue collection at the Otor-Iwhreko end of Ughelli main market"....Hmmm

CR77:
Are you sure

Did they not spend money to get to the point of boarding those boats? They pay those smugglers $$$ before boarding those boats! They are being saved from a suicidal journey. Europe cannot continue to bear the responsibility of rescuing them when the smugglers abandon them on the Mediterranean.

That is good.

Ouch ...so mean

That poster keeps copying and pasting the same thing wherever Tiwa savage is mentioned!

There's a reason I love tiwa, she's a cheerful giver and very very generous. From all male members of the mavin crew to wizkid, she made sure no one lacked anything and met their needs one by one. May God continue to bless her and give her the strength to give more to the needy.

Aren't you tired of being stupid?

holluwai:
No phone for Kenya. Lol

Phones are cheaper in Kenya, so he crossed into a border town in Kenya and bought the phones and was caught by Ugandan officials when he re-entered Uganda.

At least he would have made N100k profit from the cross border runs if he was not caught

Starting out with a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology should set you on the path to getting a Masters in Counseling psychology.

There is this psychotherapist, Chiadi Ndu the founder of BTH Therapy http://bththerapy.com/counsellor/ she is a lawyer but switched to acquiring her Masters in Counseling psychology alongside other certifications and now one of the notable psychotherapists in Nigeria. Her bill no be pure water money o but her therapy practice delivers.

May the Supreme being you believe in also "bless" you in that direction of thought as you become a "resource' to the "needy" .

That orange suit!

With a population hovering around 200 million and presenting psychological issues leading to breakdowns, dysfunctionality and suicidal thoughts, there is dire need for counselling psychologists to offer talk therapy to help conceptualize the fixations one is going through and help develop skills to deal with them.

There is a limit to a religious leader's competence if he/she has no training in psychotherapy. We can't continue to sandpaper psychological issues with religion as it is not productive.

Back to my question, why are few Nigerians studying Counselling Psychology?

Feel free to share your thoughts.

Her choice....she is at her 5th stage of homosexual identity formation where she is experiencing identity pride and does not give a dam about others opinion of her.

Sad and traumatic.

QualityHealthCa:
My own discontent is why it has to be priests going for counselling psychology? Why can't other individuals go for it to help people?

The problem is simply because anything Psychological, Africans prefer their spiritual leaders to be in the limelight helping. Infact even the physical health, Africans will still listen to their "spiritual fathers" than a doctor. This is why the counselling psychology department of those universities will be fraught with Priests and Priestesses. These 2 will continue using man's knowledge to fleece naive members calling it "wisdom from above".

Nonsense.

The issue here is many are not interested in going to study it. In Nigeria, many who are studying or studied Guidance and counselling likewise Psychology did it or are doing it not because of passion but rather than continue to be frustrated by their inability to secure their dream courses they opt for them. In Nigeria, you get to study Counselling psychology from the Masters level and going through the course outline, I realize that most of the content is what is taught at the Bachelors level of Counseling Psychology in Kenya.

Those Priests and Sisters here realized the inadequacies thus the need for further studies. I know 2 Nigerians Reverend Sisters who are presently doing their bachelor's degree in counseling psychology in Nairobi, one told me she worked in an all girls boarding school in Nigeria where staff are at loss with how to effectively relate with the students as they always see them as rebels ignoring the fact that according to Erik Ericsson Psychosocial stages of development those adolescents are dealing with identity conflict. With her going to Nigeria in January to spend a term in the school to work briefly, she let the school administrator know that a school counselor should never also be a subject teacher in the school as it hampers therapy and whatever students share in therapy remains between the counsellor and the students (clients). She psycho-educated the students that going to therapy does not mean one is sick.

That in the course of work during the term that through congruence, empathy and unconditional positive regard those young girls were able to share so much with her because they sensed confidentiality and zero judgement. Through Psychoanalysis,SFBT and Cognitive Behavior Therapy she helped those students to get unstuck as the students were so surprised because they were expecting condemnation and the use of the scriptures to drive home why they need to change and this is what is motivating her to wanting to specialize in Adolescent therapy.

Studying Counseling Psychology is open to anyone who has a passion for it. Nigerians still feel it is the domain of spiritual leaders to offer psychological support when in reality they have no capacity to be a help and even in their ignorance they find it difficult to refer those who come to them to certified professionals as they feel diminished doing so as they want to continue portraying the image of being a one-stop solution! A good number of Kenyan Priests I know do refer their church members to go see a counselling psychologist as presenting issues needs to be psychologically dealt with not spiritually

There is a huge career prospect in training as a counselling psychologist as we need more of them than many of our religious leaders who are messing things by dabbling into what they have no competence in.

QualityHealthCa:
All of that is involved in Psychology, I'm yet to try any of those as I got plans to leave this shithole first.

That's my no1 agenda for now. This country is a dangerous place for people like us to stay in...1st tins 1st is to pick race and never look back biko!

The reason my intl exams are my top priority for now. Psychotherapy is a lifelong process. I've already downloaded a Psychology textbook and I plan listening to Podcasts by Gary Van Wilmmerdam as well to help me...

I understand your need to change environment. I am glad to see many Priests and Reverend Sisters from different parts of Africa going back to universities in Nairobi to do Bachelor's and Masters degree in Counseling psychology as it is glaring that one can not spiritualize psychological issues and still expect change.

Nigeria do not have the appropriate structure and manpower to deal with psychological issues.
