celebrating The Female: WHY ALWAYS FEMALES?
.
Nature is conceived as female. Think “Mother Nature.” Even the word nature itself in its original Latin ( natura) means birth. Which is to say: to ask the “nature” of something is to ask how it was born, how it relates to the feminine. Literally and metaphorically, women define nature and the world.
.
FOR EXAMPLE :
.
1. Female dogs become so wicked when they give birth.
2. Female fowls chase people when they hatch.
3. Male lions don't eat humans no matter how hungry they are, but female lions do tear people apart.
4. Female human being spend average 28years of their lives asking for recharge cards from males...
5. And the most annoying one is... it is the female mosquitoes that causes MALARIA.
6. And the most foolish one is ....it is female that spends N150K just to beautify hair.
7. It is only females who demand valentine gifts

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLOG & WEBSITE
.
Many people have websites (for their businesses as well as
for personal use) and many people have blogs. The issue is
whether people truly understand the difference between a
website and a blog. They certainly are not the same thing.
The following explains the basic differences between a blog
and a website:
.
Website
Content is static.
Formal/professional.
Interactivity does not exist. There is only one-way
communication.
Transactional.
.
Communication about products and/or services.
Almost everyone has a website. In fact, it is almost a
requirement in business today.
.
Blog
Content is regularly updated.
Not formal.
Interactive.
Informative and educational.
Interactivity about industry/customer issues.
Some people have a blog.
.
Website
A good way to think about a website is in terms of it being a
virtual store that sells products and/or services. A website is
the perfect forum to self-promote and advertise. Promotion
and buying and selling are exactly what people expect when
they visit a website. When they are at the point of making a
purchase of some kind, they go to a website that will satisfy
their needs.
.
They can either purchase something online directly from
your website or they can use your website to find out exactly where your bricks and mortar store is located so that they can come and purchase products and/or services from you in person. Once a customer has bought something from you, there is a very high likelihood that they will not return to your store again.
.
It is also basically impossible to build relationships with
your potential customers and existing customers on your
website because the website is static. Once a person has
purchased something from you, there is no potential for
interactivity so the relationship will never have a chance to
develop and grow.
.
Blog
A blog; however, is constantly supplying potential customers
and existing customers with interesting and useful content
and the blog enables them to interact with the blogger and
the discussions that they have together can be potentially
unending. Not only can you and your customers have
discussions but they can also ask questions that you can
answer.
.
Also, a blog provides a dimension to the content that you
can’t get from your website content. Through your consistent and regular blog content, you will eventually be regarded as a subject matter expert in your niche and people will turn to you for answers. This will promote more and more discussions.
.
What is really being done in this case is that relationships
are being developed and strengthened. Some of the people
with whom you interact on your blog will never become
your customers. That is perfectly acceptable. They can
interact with you as much as they like and do not have to
worry about any pressure to buy anything. A very important
fact is that the people with whom you interact are getting to
know you as a person, which includes your level of integrity,
your passion for what you are doing and offering and your
knowledge, knowledge that you impart to them.
.
Blogs have a lot of useful features that are very helpful in
promoting interactivity. Blogs enable visitors to subscribe to
them so they can receive updates on a very regular basis.
They will always be informed when new content is added or
there has been some update to the social media profiles of
the people with whom they interact.
.
In order to really be effective, blogs should have new
postings at least once or twice a week. Fresh, original
content is very important. The content is exactly what
attracts and retains people and many of those people will
eventually become customers.
.
The true purpose of a blog is to provide helpful, valuable,
informative and interesting content that helps other people
and that they find interesting. A blog’s purpose is definitely
not to advertise or to do a hard sell on anyone. If you try to
use your blog in that way, you will be very disappointed with the results. You will not be able to build relationships with anyone and you most likely won’t sell very much. People don’t buy from people whom they don’t trust. The only way that they will trust you is if they get to know you.
All in one One approach that has proven very effective is building your website with blog software, such as WordPress. Blog software has the capability of providing you with both static web pages (pages) and blog pages (posts). Since both are necessary for the success of your online exposure, this allows you to design a web presence that contains a traditional website and a blog using one tool. Among the other benefits are:
.
One homogenous look and feel.
Ease of optimization for SEO.
Sharing of add-on plugins between the pages and posts.
Ease and speed of designing and developing the web
presence.
Ease of maintenance and updating of content since the
entire web infrastructure is based on a content
management system (CMS).
.
Conclusion
Blogs and websites work in very different ways, serve very
different purposes and produce different short-term results.
However, they are both necessary to increase your online
exposure and to strengthen your online business reputation
.
It is important to have both as part of your online presence.
They function well together and undeniably, you will see
positive results over the long term if they are a part of your
business online

I'm grateful to everyone who has meaningfully contributed to this thread. It's my utmost wish that God's mercy remains with you all and opens you up for divine connection.

Thanks you all

felai:
If your Boy is as good as you claim, let him try the common entrance exam for Nigerian Turkish International College... 100% scholarship guaranteed if he comes out top. thank me later

Thanks and God bless you all.

neurosci:
Just make sure you obtain the common entrance form and your son sits for the exam. You'll be surprised how things will turn around for your good. Your son will attend that sch with creating any burden on you, by God's grace! Keep me posted on how it turns out.

Amen, my brother. Thanks

neurosci:
Total fees including tuition, boarding and others at Loyola Jesuit College was 1.5 million naira per year as at last year. But if your son can get the highest score among male candidates in the common entrance exam, he would be given a full scholarship for the entire six years of study at the sch. Even if he doesn't get the highest score but performs well, he can still get a full scholarship if you inform the sch about your inability to pay. About 10% of the school population is on a scholarship. And it is the best secondary school in West Africa since at least the last 10 years.

Wow, God bless you my brother. Your heaven will open and your benefactor will locate you. Thanks very much. Pls, watch out, I will come back to give testimony here.
So grateful, boss

mayorbch:
Try this school: Adventist Secondary Technical College Owerrinta Abia State. I just hope you wouldn't be mad at your boy for not taking the first position or fifth.
Finally, how many laurels can your boy win there? *smiles*

Just watchout... It's not a matter of mouth. Outcome shall convince you

Are u serious?.your son that wants to enrol in a secondary school teaches graduate? What is he teaching them exactly?.....or you just embellish the scenario.. probably

Bros you can't believe it. Woe to he who lies. I'm not a relation to our Minister Lai Mohammad.
.
His intelligent quotient is extremely high. He doesn't forget what he reads.
.
His Mum is a University Staff, infact let me reserve other comments, so as not to look I'm exaggerating.

Part of his gift is that, at his age now he sees vision and it comes to pass. You can't believe it.

.
Don't you think a responsible father must rise to contributorily help the boy to achieve his existential mandate.

NL1960:
Yes o. The most expensive which is Loyola Jesuit, Abuja is still less. It is very tough to get into because the competition is very very very high and they only take a fixed number every year.

God bless bros; any idea of their tuition fees. Pls I want to sacrificially fulfill my part of responsibility on my Son. The boy is extremely brilliant. At his age now, he teaches even the graduates around.
.
I want to expose him, to mix with innovative and creative peers in the city. The boy is extra ordinarily talented and brilliant. Even most University lecturers whom they attend same church always amazed at his intellectual display.
.
I desire a better school,for more debates, competitions, excursion and scholarship
.
This gives me concerns
.
MayGod help

NL1960:
Yea. Actually saw something in the neighborhood of more than 3M per annum for boarding. Have you look at the Catholic mission schools?. Some of them have day and boarding.

Do you mean catholic day and boarding is less expensive? Pls, let me know

Just googled now, what I saw amazed me. Over 2.5M per annum . It's well with my soul

Nice 0pinion only if we reason along.

I support putting more pressure on Osinbajo in order not to turn out to be Jonathan who eventually got confused after the demise of Yaradua.

Osinbajo, rise to do the needful

If a professor could not profer solution to redeem the teaming masses from this scorching hardship, then Nigeria's case must be presented to the witches and wizzard to help out

NL1960:
You can also google it. I did that and saw a fee structure for entry level for the year 2015/2016 session. I do not want to post the link as i do not know what leads to a ban.

Thanks bro, God bless. I will google right now. It is just that most schools don't make their fees available online. Well I will try.

Thanks

NL1960:
If you are serious, then either send the school a mail for the information or you pay a visit to the school. Most schools give their fees breakdown if you visit them. You can also look for a parent that has a ward in the school. Most schools do not put their fees on their website again.

Thanks and God bless

hilaomo:
you must be seriously ......... A)KIDDING B)SEEKING FOR ATTENTION C)ADVERTISING THE SCHOOL D)CRAZE YET HAVE NO ONE TO TELL YOU.

Pls this is a serious matter. One has to begin to plan ahead. Any info pls

Pls Can somebody help me out to know the tuition & boarding fee of CORONA SECONDARY SCHOOL, Agbara.


Pls this is in order to get prepared for next admission of my Son

God bless

THE NEW DIRECTION:
.
It's pathetic that most Nigerians seem to lack sense of direction. The question before us is, "Will the return of Buhari reverse $1 to N200? Clamouring for his return is meaningless and will not accrue any benefit to our economy.
.
Let bygone be bygone!
.
The pressure now should be on Prof Osinbajo. 10 days is enough to make proposal to convince Nigerians that hope is imminent.
.
O'Compatriots, the return of Buhari either live or dead will not reduce the hardship.
.
My submission is that, the intellectual reasoning of a UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR must be outstanding and its impacts must reflect within shortest period. Now that POWER has been vested on him, even as a SAN, Let him summon all the presented/submitted proposals for review.
.
Profitably as it ought to be, we now have a Professor managing the affairs of Nigeria, unlike the era of half baked....as insinuated by Nigerians. Well, within 10 days, he could have inaugurated panel to review 2015 Confab reports and transmit hope and confidence in well meaning Nigerians.
.
Now that its sure Prof Osinbajo will rule us till 2019, hardship in Nigeria must be threatened by his intellectual approach and as a man with fear of God.
.
If one year of Osinbajo as President does not bring succour, it's a shame to his spiritual father.
.
Finally, the pressure now should be on the Acting President. Let him act fast and let Buhari Rest In Peace
.
God bless Nigeria

1989 till date is 28yrs ago. Unless the 1989 video is released I personally will find I difficult to believe.

World happiness report 2016 shows that Nigeria dropped from its 78th position in the World and 2nd in Africa in the 2015 happiness ranking.

In the latest report the country has been ranked the 103 happiest nation of the world, and 6th in Africa.

Consequently, suicide was not a common but all that appears to be changing since the inauguration of President Muhammadu Buhari and his All Progressives Congress-led government.

The federal government has on August 31 officially confirmed that the Nigerian economy is in recession.
Sociologist Bello Ahmed tells NewsWireNGR that with the current recession the number of Nigerians committing suicide will go up within the next months.

He said: “When there is recession and the economic hits people too hard, they opt to take their lives, take a look at society’s world over where recession happened, the case is no different.

“So the answer to your question is a BIG YES.
“Under the Muhammadu Buhari’s government, more people are likely to commit suicide and we will see them blaming the economy (with their suicide notes) because it is what is happening.

“Many Nigerians can no longer afford meals, not talking meeting basic needs like rent and paying fees, the hardship will get to that point, that is what happens in an economic recession, also do have in mind that a lot of cases will go un-reported”.

According to the expert if country’s economic moves from recession to depression, then the number of Nigerians committing suicide will also increase.

Just yesterday, a 50-year-old man, Chief Ekanem Edet from
Akwa Ibom state, committed suicide by hanging himself to the roof of his room.

Before the death the man wrote a suicide note for president Buhari But just before his death, Edet left a suicide note for President Buhari.

A day before this incident another man attempted to commit suicide by jumping into Mile 2 River, Lagos.

The man, who was later saved by some divers in a speed boat, allegedly shout “ Buhari, Buhari, Buhari,” while attempting to kill himself.

National Bureau of Statistics said that the recession faced is worse than expected.

www.africanews.com/2017/01/27/london-court-rules-shell-not-suable-in-england-over-nigerian-oil-spill/

Oil major Royal Dutch Shell cannot be sued in London
courts over Nigerian oil spill allegations, the High Court
ruled on Thursday, dealing a setback to attempts to hold
multinationals liable at home for subsidiaries’ activities.

If the High Court had ruled in favour of the two groups,
other claimants against British-based multinationals
could have been emboldened to pursue legal action
through the British courts, some legal experts had said.
Villagers from the Bille and Ogale communities in
Nigeria’s oil-rich Delta region were trying to pursue oil
spill allegations against the company’s Nigerian
subsidiary Shell Petroleum Development Company of
Nigeria (SPDC) in British courts.

The court ruled that the suit did not establish that Shell,
the parent company, had legal responsibility for SPDC’s
actions.

The Nigerian villagers argued domestic courts were unfit
to hear their case, while Shell said the matter was a
uniquely Nigerian issue and should be heard there.
Shell also denies responsibility for the spills, which it
says were due to sabotage and illegal refining.

Nigeria: refining capacity

Nigeria is a giant oil producing nation with four oil
refineries yet largely depends on oil imports.
pipeline vandalism has become a drain on the nation’s
economy.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)
had talks with some external licensors to undertake
process audits on its four refineries in Port Harcourt,
Warri and Kaduna.

Once the process audit is concluded, its importation of
petroleum products into the country would reduce and
the capacity utilization of the refineries is expected
increased to 60 per cent by the end of 2017.

You need glasses sir.

Pray to witness 2019 election. The prayer will only come true if you respect the constituted authority

Does it mean Nigeria shall begin to experience true economic transformation after 2019?

God's revelation to Nigeria this morning unveils that 2019 is 100% sure for South East

I saw a South Easterner as President of Nigeria
I saw rapid decline in economic hardship
I saw a New Nigeria under the leadership of new President from South East

Above all, I saw 20 Nigeria political godfathers who could be hindrance to the plan and purpose of God for new transformation dying before 2019

I'm neither a pastor nor easterner, but a typical afonja by blood. This is what God revealed to me overnight.

I pray it comes to reality.

God bless Nigeria
