Yes, the above statement I made was correct. In regards to my skills, I am kinda like a jack of all trades. I am good at copyrighting, editing of videos, creating of videos with AI, plus I am an avid researcher. Aside that, my marketing prowess is affable. I'm not into web development and coding. There are a lot of bright minds doing that already. These are not all but just a few of my skills. If I get a job offer and I wouldn't be able to do it, I would say so upfront so as not to ruin anything. Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. You could be the one who would get 10% of my earnings if you help me.

Read the story of an employer:

"I employ about 20 people in my small firm and one thing I’ve learnt through the course of my career is that majority of employees esp in Naija do not care about work. All they care about is their salary and some will do dubious things just to scheme money they haven’t earned from their employers. if you leave them or go too easy on them, they’ll run you to the ground.
I’ve had my experiences and I’m still learning every day. I really do not blame employers that eventually evolve into nasty people."

For me, my kids have a laptop and 2 tablets. They spend the most time on their laptop. I have downloaded Scratch for them there. Plus, because I run a STEM club, it's easy for them to have access to a lot of material (I'm redoing my Science curriculum for the club and adding Math Manipulatives for teaching my students).

Gadgets are necessary in this Tech era we live in, but how you use them is what is important.

If you're going to give your kids gadgets, give them physical Science, Math and Literacy items as well.

Just know this: the Nigerian curriculum is pretty obsolete (public and private schools) and not cohesive. You've got a lot to do by yourself.

I also understand your position, and I will try to address it as much as possible


No, I don't think the US struggled in Afghanistan...Osama Bin Laden and his 9/11 cohorts were killed....Whatever else the US was looking for in another man's land is rather belated, in my opinion...and no, I don't think it is proper to compare the US Army's hiccup at invading a foreign land (US) with our Army's failure at containing domestic terrorism and banditry...An Army's primary function is to protect a country's territorial integrity, which the US Army has done to a great extent, while our Army has failed woefully in that regard...So I don't think comparing both armies is proper...as long as the US Army's primary function (protection of territorial integrity) is performed, I don't think their citizenry will care if they have a million Generals...

2ndly, I will assume you were joking when you said that the Nigerian Army operates under the doctrine of civilian Supremacy ...the same army that we know that refer to civilians as "bloody civilians" and derive quite psychotic pleasure in harassing and intimidating hapless civilians?....I think the major problem with the present Army Brass is that politicians have wisened up by granting them bountiful and unaudited access to Nigeria's treasury per bogus security funds. Till date I have never heard that EFCC , ICPC, or even the National Assembly probed any Army Officer for misappropriation of funds, despite abundant evidence that these funds mostly end in private pockets...Rank and file on the Frontline will cry of hunger and starvation, and instead of an investigation into same and the faulty army brass made to pay, the rank and file concerned is thrown in jail, court-martialed and used as an example to quieten other dissenters....Say person dey army mean say if im Oga's dey cheat am, especially even at battlefront, make e no talk? ...So on this your point, I don't think the army is operating on any doctrine of civilian Supremacy...I think they are operating on more of a doctrine of political camaradie at the population's grave expense...Good thing is that the insecurity affects everyone, no matter how insulated one might consider himself... Cynthia Osokogu, daughter of a high ranking army officer was kidnapped and murdered, Alex Badeh (former chief of Air Staff) was killed a few months after retirement, a retired brigadier general and former DG of NYSC was kidnapped and spent months in captivity before he was released (after allegedly paying a hefty ransom)....Those are just few examples of how the armed forces camaradie with these politicians have come back to bite them...So I don't see how the army brass cavorting with politicians can be blamed on the politicians, and not self-sabotage, deliberate or otherwise...

Thirdly on your point of international respect gained from international missions, I am not sure there is any such respect remaining..That's if we ignore the fact that respect at home should precede and even furthers respect outside...I am sure you are aware of the "small" West African country whose military leaders called our bluff when our amiable president gave them a deadline to hand over to civilians ...Nigerian citizens are not treated with respect anywhere, even in Africa...A Nigerian passport will subject one to further investigation at POE anywhere in the world...how is that for respect?...Nigeria is living on past glory..simple as that...Which country will respect our peacekeeping efforts when they are very well aware that our local security is chaotic?...What are we positioning ourselves for in the international community when the same international community is fully aware that bandits have positioned themselves and established governments in some parts of Nigeria?

Lastly on your assertion that the military is overstretched...It's not the military's duty to police the nation..The Nigerian police and other para military organizations are there for that....The Army is to go after threats to Nigeria's sovereignty which include bandits and terrorists, unless you are saying the entire 200 million plus Nigerian citizens are all bandits and terrorists....but the same military is not overstretched when it faces unarmed protesters and hapless civilians?... Pleaseeee

SatoshiX:
Ask yourself are there many igbos in the Army to start with? The other time, Frank Mba had to hurriedly promoted from ACP till he gets to DIG just to fill in the SE gap at the top of the Police ranking.
Even during the last recruitment exercise, one of the SE governors came out to complain about the low show of interest by his people.
So who do we blame? The institution or your people? Look in the mirror for the answer

Dalohad:
I think Nigeria has the highest number Generals without any form of combat experience whatsoever.

When I was trained in military-owned high school, we called them 'Woman soldiers' or 'Office soldiers'.

During IBB and Abacha regime, for you to attain the rank of 'General' at any level, you must have combat experience. Heck, we even had cadet boys in JSS1 sleeping in bushes to toughen them.

Nowadays, half of our 'Generals', have pot potbellies. Some can't even run for a 50 meters dash without panting like a dog on heat.

We need a tougher military. If you have a Potbelly, you should retire immediately.

buygala:
Very aptly conveyed


But I still stand on my opinion that this proliferation of the General Rank in our armed forces when juxtaposed with the current security challenges in our country, is in sour taste ...

When you say "leading operations, training soldiers, studying strategy, and coordinating logistics", isn't all that supposed to be toward the goal of securing the nation?..when that lone goal fails, can these men be said to have performed their duties optimally to warrant such rank?

Per your passing the buck to the political class, locals' collaboration, etc...I am yet to hear or see any serving General officer complain about the political class...it's always the other rank/junior officers who complain about these issues, and end up getting court-martialed by these same General officers...

This raises the presumption that these senior officers see nothing wrong with the political class, and that's why they are quick to court-martial dissenting soldiers...and if there is nothing interference with military operations from the political class as these senior officers will have us believe, can we in all honesty say that locals, etc are capable of hindering a capable and politically independent military from performing its functions?

If politicians are interfering with military operations, I repeat, why are senior ranks quiet about it, and even go to the extent of intimidating junior ranks who voice out dissent on such grounds?

I still maintain that General Rank should not be granted as a matter of course due to age courses undergone, etc...And I also fail to understand why a Nigerian solder should be promoted for "international peacekeeping" operations when local peacekeeping is elusive...

I would suppose that Charity should begin at home no?....If bandits and terrorists are annexing parts of Nigeria, on what basis do we have soldiers who are keeping international Peace when local peace is elusive?

Being part of the General staff means that such person has had an outstanding military career...so how can so many men have outstanding military careers when we have outstanding security challenges?

Tenrack:
Good morning guys

My sister just graduated with a Bsc Degree in Biology, and has completed her NYSC program. She's got experience teaching Biology. She is in need of a teaching job urgently. Can anyone please link me with one? I would appreciate it. She's very good at what she does. Her location is Lagos state. She stays around Olodi Apapa axis, would have no trouble getting jobs around Surulere, Ajegunle, Apapa, Orile, Wilmer, VI and where there's available accomodation. And if there's any other entry level role she can take up, I would really appreciate. God bless y'all.
