It is only in Nigeria that academic distinction must come with grey hairs and longsuffering. If the person deserves it, they should get it. What heights did the former crop of Profs take the school to? So sad.

Education / Re: We Will Not Join ASUU Strike – OAU Vice Chancellor by Rainmaker69(m): 8:00am On Aug 15, 2017
Well, whether for good reason or bad, they're not joining the moronic strike. What use is a lecturer who doesn't lecture? These ASUU guysare jokes aswear. They should not be paid for absconding from their responsibilities. By going on strike, they injure the very constituency they should fight to protect. Anyway the education sector in Nigeria hasn't been about education since Mungo Park discovered the niger.

Education / Re: Does Reading Improve Your Spelling? by Rainmaker69(m): 7:21am On Aug 09, 2017
You can't take one rule and apply it across board. That's a fallacy. Reading helped me discover new words, increase my english register, word recognition and spelling aptitude.
To separate the word learning process from reading is to say you want to soak garri without water. E no mean say you get sugar with milk and groundnut, na d water go consummate the soaking. That's what reading is to learning to spell.

Why wait till then? Why not declare it now? I'm tired of hearing the voices of all these pocket agitators. Anuofia!

This is what happens when intellectuals keep silent. We need to have a more robust discourse on this sovereignty issue- and that can't happen until we hear from sane and sensible Nigerians from all sides. We've heard enough from these jokers vying for a piece of the national cake.

Education / Re: Boko Haram: ASUU Threatens Strike If FG Doesn’t Rescue Abducted Lecturers by Rainmaker69(m): 7:43am On Jul 31, 2017
Is this not demonic? ASUU has seen the end of its useful days. Its unfortunate that the teachers were kidnapped but shouldn't the association join hands to help in the effort? What is the value of the membership dues if these educated idiots keep disrupting life for other Nigerians.

Car Talk / Re: Is It Bad To Change Your Gear To Drive While Your Car Is Still Rolling Backwards by Rainmaker69(m): 2:15pm On Jul 27, 2017
pomide:
actually it promotes smoother flow of transmission. Scenario, when reversing, and you throw gear to D, the car brakes naturally and heads to move forward. Personally, it's boring to reverse, press full brake till halt, now shift to D then move forward.
to answer ur question, Nothing go do your car.

Unless this is ironic, the advice is terrible. A manual tranny may survive it but autos will suffer badly.

Phones / Re: Which Bank Mobile USSD Have You Used B4 That Works Fine by Rainmaker69(m): 8:02pm On Jul 19, 2017
For starters, our mobile money infrastructure is wack. It fails when you need it the most. Sometimes the codes don't work until 11am or 12 noon. Access Bank and Fidelity are culprits. It's really bad.

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed bank is king. I guess GTB is the most reliable from my experience. I have corporate and personal accounts with more than 3 banks.

Properties / Re: Sudden One Month Quit Notice: Please We Need Advice On Solution by Rainmaker69(m): 11:22pm On Jul 14, 2017
There is something the Op isn't telling. No landlord will eject a paying tenant, especially in this economy. No court will issue an injunction to evict tenants (an order of possession), before the conclusion of the case. Which court is hearing the matter? When was the last rent paid? These are the things that will determine the nature of the notice you are entitled to, even in the absence of an Agreement.
The bottom line is: seek legal opinion from one or two lawyers and file an appearance in court, if the case is still on.

Religion / Re: Why Jesus' Skin Color Matters by Rainmaker69(m): 7:05am On Jul 14, 2017
ednited:

While Christ the Lord transcends skin color and racial divisions, white Jesus has real consequences. In all likelihood, if you close your eyes and picture Jesus, you’ll imagine a white man.

This is a very important issue, though I think its more of a historic/socio-political issue than a religious one. I'm not sure one can have an intelligent conversation on the mental effects (or brainwashing) of white conditioning in this section. Most people go bersek when the issue of religion is raised, often without an understanding of the real issues.
I agree that the Eurocentric version of history was written to subdue non-Caucasian races. The jews were not Anglo Saxon or Caucasian. Neither Abraham, nor Isaac, nor Jacob or Esau was Caucasian or white. In fact, the Jews were enslaved by the ancestors of modern Europe- the Romans.
An interesting topic.

Career / Re: I Want To Quit My Job For Uber Abuja Partner-Driver Business, Advise Needed by Rainmaker69(m): 11:23am On Jul 06, 2017
bravolad:
There's actually no straightforward answer to your query here. A number of variables need to be considered to arrive at the best the best response.

First, you did not state the kind car you have as certain cars are extremely good for uber business. Given that this is an online platform, it will be difficult for you to answer the following questions;
1. Are you the one currently paying for your family accommodation in Abuja?
2.Does your wife work?
3.What percentage of your current salary do you save monthly?
4. What kind of car do you have? This is important for fuel consumption, cost of maintenance etc. If your vehicle's engine displacement is any of the 1.6 - 2.0 then, you are more likely to make more money.

Personally, I would not advise you to give out your car to another driver; you will almost always regret it as you lack experience of how uber works. Except perhaps, you are giving the car on a higher purchase then it's a different kettle of fish. Rentage may have been okay but inexperience will be explored by an unscrupulous driver who may use the car rough within a short time.

The uber price in Lagos has been watered down & does not favour drivers anymore except you complement with Taxify. Abuja on the other hand, is a little better. Driving on uber in Abuja by yourself will guarantee you some consistent income which is dependent on the kind of car you use because of fuel and maintenance as I earlier said. It's not as though you won't make money with bigger engine displacement, of say 2.4 etc but by the time you remove overhead, your take home is drastically reduced. Realistically, you will get your current salary in about 2 weeks of driving with a little more time to play with plus getting to be with your family which is much more important than even the money you may not make working with your current employer.

Having said the above, the bitter kola is not as sweet as it sounds in the mouth. To make the money, you must work hard. Concerning insults associated with driving on uber, that should not discourage you as every profession has its perculiar challenge. For as long as you keep your eyes on the ball, you will always see reasons to smile. Before you set off each day to drive, keep your ego & pride at home knowing that your goal is to make money. Of course, as much as some riders will insult you, so many others will appreciate you & encourage you.

If your decision favours driving on uber, there are drivers' and partners' group that can always guide you.

Finally, since the car belongs to you, there's no loss on the uber platform if you consider it a full time business.

Good luck with your choice.

See better advice. Chop knuckle my brother.
