@CJStarz.

I owe you One hundred thousand Naira. If you are interested, please send me your bank details together with a phone number and name of city and I'll send it to you as soon as I receive these.

Most times, it is not about our mistakes or the things we say or do wrong. It is more about how we react when things are pointed out to us. You have been impressive per above. It takes strength of character to accept correction, especially in public and more especially when a Nigerian. I do not know many Nigerians who will respond the way you did. Most will not take time to digest and then respond. They will simply dig in and react with anger and insults. I applaud you and hope you will continue this way.

For we will each make mistakes. What matters is how we react when notified. Well done. You have made my day.
What a nice gesture. Glad to see you are back.

Teaching can only be a complete joke in a nation that endorses Illiteracy, and celebrates dullards with illegal access to wealth and influence.

The Professional that has badly fallen low remains the Military.

Growing up in the 90s, joining the army was something that was highly revered and widely celebrated.
to ur people army means alot. To my people the ll always say if u give birth to a soldier u are childless and police is not a job. Also even in America teachers take the lowest salary.

I would say Teaching profession.

Gone are the days people used to Respect and admire Teachers. Today, teachers are the Most Mistreated, disrespected and neglected profession especially in Nigeria.
Ladies are unwilling to get married to a man who is a teacher because they are perceived as being poor and always broke. Teachers aren't sufficiently renumerated in today's Nigeria.

Secondly, I think Law. Lawyers are now called "Charge and Bail".

If it is Nigeria, all professions. Agbero and touts are better treated than everyone else now because the agberos and touts have taking over power, and because they are not educated, they don't care about any profession, only their stomachs and side chicks. O pari!

He's right. Renumeration doesn't mean monetary rewards for work done. It just means recounting, just as it sounds.

Lawyers
Pastors
Police officers
Bank workers (Bankers)
Teachers (Some say they measure yam with a ruler)
By bankers, do you mean the factory workers (tellers)? Bankers that are not on contract jobs will disagree with you on this. Banks are increasing workers salaries as if tomorrow no dey.

Renumeration means counting again or recounting while remuneration is some payments made to someone for services rendered. This Buhari holiday sweet Wella.

Thanks for the insight.

Good correction. Note that sometimes brain waves can induce and cause simple errors like this one. Everybody experiences it.

Have you checked a dictionary before typing this? A simple check would have cleared your doubts.

I have attached some shots from Webster and Oxford for you to see. Always think well before spreading your ignorance.

The legal profession. Since the advent of APC and the dipso in Abuja, Nigeria 🇳🇬 judiciary is now a complete circus 🤹‍♂️ 🎪 of clowns... The most hilarious is that an average lawyer are no longer well paid, most don't even receive the minimum wage as salaries.

A well reduced profession now dancing to the judgement of the highest bidder. cool
I think you're mixing things up here. Judiciary is well taken care of, 300% increment in remuneration.
Concerning lawyers, how many lawyers are on the government payrolls? You're mistaking judges for lawyers. Judges are the ones on governments payroll and they are being taken care of. Lawyers are mostly freelance with the exception of few of them employed by the governments.

You're right he became humble, but he didn't have a choice in the face of Irrefutable facts. I'm sure he desperately wanted it to be as he said but having checked the internet, Oxford dictionary, AI and every material he could lay his hands on.. he was forced to swallow his pride.

How I know? He went on to explain "renumeration" that nobody asked him.

Once you see one or two soldiers in your neighborhood that time

You're still not telling yourself the truth; just accept you're wrong and stop trying to save face unnecessarily. There's no such thing as reNuMeration. It's remuneration. That there's a word as numeration doesn't mean there's renumeration. It doesn't exist.

Bold ignorance. Even went ahead to involve the knowing ones that liked the correction. Lol.

Well, it's a good thing you swallowed your pride to admit your error. Nice one.

IT

The good days are gone.

Market over saturated with extremely cheap resources to get job done.

With advancements AI, it will be a big nail in the coffin.
lol! Some of you just make some unbelievable sweeping comments. When word processing came, people screamed that typists will loose their jobs. When spreadsheets and even calculators came, people said accountants were finished.

IT roles have never been more needed than ever. AI will not take your job. Someone who KNOWS HOW to use AI will.

when was teaching profession ever respected before, it's always been like that since time immemorial. It's only just got worser

You can try and ask from your parents how it has always been especially in the 80s or 90s
When were you born to know that it has always been so for the teaching profession?
And again, What do you mean by "Worser" ?
Your teachers didn't do a good job on you
