that is good.
Try and work harder to graduate with your dreamt CGPA

The best class to build up a correct CGPA is in the 100level cos it gets harder up the ladder.
I wish someone told me that years ago. My foundation was so terrible that It didnt matter that I got A's from level 2 onwards. I passed with 3rd class honours.

That's why it's mock exam it's a complete mockery or Reno omokri, see a lot of things needs to be scrapped in this country, a lot of standard needs to be set unfortunately the present apc government is a scam that's why we need Peter obi to reclaim his stolen mandate to get things to work properly in this country
We shouldn't need to politicize this. This is common etiquette and about not having standards in place, about not respecting other people's time. Its like we need the white man to put structures in place for us.
EducationRe: Today's Mock Jamb Was Indeed A Mockery by rickleye: 4:30pm On Mar 31, 2023
Mummyfour:
Students from far and near went to their different jamb exam centers to write the mock exams today.

The exam was supposed to be in two batches.
There was a batch A that was slated for7 am and candidates were expected to have been seated by 6:30 am, then there was the 9 am batch and the candidates were also expected to have been in their centers by 8:30 am.
I actually took my daughter to the CBT professional test centre at bwari FCT not few metres away from the JAMB head office here In Abuja, that was her center.
It was an annoying situation when even as at 12:30 pm the candidates that were billed for the 7am exams had not started.

Parents that were waiting for their children became apprehensive and couldn't just understand what the delay was about.
Most of the children had not eaten and some parents had actually done drop off with the mind of coming later for their ward.

Most of the children that had been dropped off, had no money, phones or even food because they felt they could endure whatever hunger until after the exams.

At about 12:40pm, 3 coaster buses drove into the centre and the staff and security personnel at the centre began to direct some of the children to get on the buses.
In the process, some parents raised alarm and began to shout even as they wondered at the rationale behind such action.
At a point some of the children that had seen parents yelling at them to get off the buses, quickly did.

Meanwhile before then, no body not a even staff came out to address the waiting parents as to what was really going on, and when parents asked them, all they were told was that network was slow thereby affecting "thumb printing", for 6 hours?

It was at the point when parents were yelling at the gate that the Registrar of Jamb drove in with 3 Hilux trucks of security men armed to the teeth.

He grudgingly stepped out to address the parents because they compelled him to.
Before then, parents had begun to look for snacks and drinks for their children who had started complaining of hunger. They kept on coming to the gate to talk and complain to their parents, because they were not in the exam hall, but under a makeshift tent.
Some were even feeling sleepy and tired after staying up late to read at night.

The Registrar with every sense of pomposity told us that we were breaking the law because we came close to the gate to give our hungry children food and drinks.
It's not as if they made any provisions for the children o.

We were even expecting him as a father to sympathize with the children and beg them for understanding being their fault that their systems were not working.

When he said that, all hell let loose.
Parents began to scream at him out of anger, because we were expecting some kind of explanation or even apologies. Instead he told us that we should not have come close to the gate.

I asked him how we would have been able to pass on the food items to our children, and that if they had done the right thing, there would not have been any reason for parents to come close to the gate.
At that question, he began to ramble and tell us stories of network failure and all those annoying lies.

He subsequently told us that the second batch were to get on the buses and go and write the exam in jamb office.

A parent asked how the children will come back to the original center they were posted and he swore that the buses will bring them back

To cut the story short, the exams actually started at 3:45pm and ended at 5:30pm.

And the shocker we received was that those children that were taken to the jamb office had to trek all the way back to their former center, except for those that their parents took them their with either bikes or vehicles.

I don't know when we will get it right in this country.
Ordinary mock jamb in FCT..
So how would it be in other states and local government areas?.

It keeps getting worse every year.
And those children came out of the center broken, dissolutioned, and frustrated. You could see the children that were all fired up in the morning, and ready to do justice to the Mock exam, coming out very cold and troubled.

I have said it, let us go back to the days of shading with HB pencil abeg
It's not worth it.
We can't seem to get any thing right in this country.
Ordinary computer based test?

Mods please push to front page
We have been too silent in the country for too long. So Mediocre people are steeped in all our institutions from top to bottom.
Its like hardship and Africa are mutually inclusive.
Hence all these Issues you have raised will just get swept under the rug and unto the next crisis. It will not be featured in any local newspaper or report.
No accountability culture, no feedback. No root cause analysis on what went wrong and how to prevent and fix the Issues from reoccurring. Before computers this was easy breezy , using an HB pencil and eraser, you checked your answer and submitted.
With computers, you are dealing with network - I doubt it was tested prior to make sure it could handle the load.
I am sure they knew all along they were thinking African time, all along undecided undecided

FamilyRe: My Wife Says I Am Not Romantic After 10years Of Marriage by rickleye:
GetMeRight:
Good advice and long stories at the same time. But the truth is that, if she is determined to explore and see what is outside her marriage, no romantic gestures from her husband can stop her.
Telling her husband that he's not romantic is just an excuse to do what is on her mind. We can't ignore the fact that she married very early and we all know the possible outcome of this for women.
At the same time, we can't ignore the effects of social media and the kinds of people and things she might be exposing to online.
She wants piercings (could it be nose, ears or somewhere more private?), tattoos, leg chains, waist beads! Is all these new cravings is as a result of the husband not being romantic too?
So ... It's a subset of him -not being romantic.!
You are correct that social media and Tele-vision which is someone's vision of how things should be imprinted on our minds via the telly has played a factor.
Yet, the cravings of piercings, tattoos, leg chains etc are outward beauty accessories which cry of
" I want to be seen ; I want to be appreciated " " I am still a babe also ; I still have it " when your husband comes home and doesn't recognize a new hairstyle , or tight jeans flaunting her figure , she "dies a little ". Or doesn't compliment her as woman, his wife, It hurts . Being married shouldn't be the dearth of all things sweet, lovely and romantic. IMO
Even for us men - a compliment from a gf/wife goes a long way to spice up things ?"

got a shocker recently, my wife suddenly says i am not romantic after 10years of marriage and having 3 children... should i be worriedhuh
we got married young and she now in her early 30s

p.s
she now wants to get a tattoo, piercing. waistbeads and wear leg chainhuh
Haha, it’s called midlife crisis.

Just tell her she is right and start the dating process again.
Many of us think our wives are like our mothers . Marry and keep for home. The game is changing bro. I am sure she has a friend on WhatsApp with whom she has discussed this with already.

1. Plan a date nite every week . Go catch a flick and have someone watch the kids.
2. Do something together with the family once a month. Go to Olumo Rock and Beach . A family outing .
3. Don’t forget her birthday make it exciting ( get her flowers or money - depending on her love language)
4. Make an effort to show PDA infront of the kids. Steal a kiss 💋, slap her buttocks , call her sexy mamacita or siren.
5. Make sex impromptu. After coitus , ask would like a glass of water or wine to relax ( she will laugh and say , thank you yes or no )
6. If you are just Spooning dude , change into missionary or doggy . ( now sex and love are not the same) . Massage and ask her where she may want to be touched to excite her …

Make the effort !!! You might not be comfortable doing any of the above but as you mentioned it appears she never “ lived “ done anything she wanted to do . Her first born is 10.
And it’s been mummy this , mummy that !

I would give her the leg chain *

Don’t ignore her warnings or else someone else will fill the void.

I would also .
Which means she doesn’t wash her hands .
If I invite a lady to my house and she wants to use the washroom, I listen for
1. Flush
2. Water running from faucet
3. Hand drying from towel
If I hear flush and 5 secs you open the door. Whatever, I had in mind that evening will NEVER happen.

FamilyRe: Should I Allow My Mother-in-law In Our Home? I Need Advice by rickleye: 12:28pm On Mar 30, 2023
ozalogbo:
I am the first child of my mother, and I have two younger male siblings. I am doing well financially. My wife is the last of four children in her family. My dad died when I was still in the university, and this affected my mum.

However, as she aged, her health waned. She was a retired teacher. My brothers are not in the country. Both of them are in Europe. I wanted to have my mother stay with me in her later years because of her health and loneliness but my wife did not want it.

Whenever she was ill and I brought her home to be with us, my wife was usually hostile, especially if my mum had stayed beyond a week. She did not hid her disapproval, and this caused problems in the marriage. People advised that I should send my mum away and pay someone to live with her and take care of her. They said that marriage was between a man and his wife, not between a man, his wife, and his mother. I did and peace returned. Eventually my mum passed on after a few years.

Along the line, my father in law also died. And down the line, my mother in law's health began to deteriorate. We live in the same town. Among my wife's siblings she is the only one doing quite well. Now there are suggestions that the mother should come and live with us so that my wife can give her proper care. I believe that her living with us and seeing her grandchildren will help her. And indeed i have no problem accepting her, but when i remember the treatment my wife gave to my mum, there is a strong revulsion, in fact, anger in me. I shared with a friend, and he advised i forgive my wife, but the revulsion is so strong that i would feel cheated if i agreed.

What do you guys think. She reminded me then that marriage was between a man and his wife only. Shouldn't this also apply to my wife now?
I remember you and your story and we advised that you get a nurse to stay with your ailing mother-in-law.
Condolences on her passing.

You don’t come across as someone who believes revenge is a dish best served cold.
I would do what is right and not popular( As what is popular is not always right ) . At the end of the day you live with your conscience.

1. I would tell the wife, as long as taking care of your mother doesn’t infringe on any of your duties and responsibilities to me . Mama can stay.
2. For the record, you wholeheartedly disagree with the way your mother was treated ( get that out of your system )
3. Enjoy 😊

Hi,

I have been snoring for some years now and it annoying that I have tried ways to stop it but didn't work.

Whenever my girlfriend comes to sleep over she will not able to sleep well because my snoring disturbs her sleep and now she avoids coming to my place complaining that I don't let her to sleep well.since then she hasn't been responding well to me and I also feel my neighbors too are affected but can't tell it to my face..

I have try different sleeping position to no effect.

I'm fed up and wish I could get a help.
My g/f asked me to sleep in the other room because she says I snore. Oh really, do I ! I have a bunch of recordings of her snoring . Personally, I find listening to snoring hilarious and to those that complain, to you I say - you aren't really tired. If you're really exhausted. You'd sleep through anything.

Besides Sleep Apnea where you need to those machines to make sure you don't die when sleeping. I purchased these sleep mouth guard clip. What it does is to keep your air ways open so that it does vibrate against each other which causes the sound - snoring. Cost me about $20.
They are uncomfortable at first but after 2 weeks , you get a hang of it .

SportsRe: Super Eagles: Is Jose Peseiro The Man To Take Us To The Promised Land? by rickleye: 6:57pm On Mar 25, 2023
robosky02:
Once again the super eagles of Nigeria just lost a match not to one of the super powers in Africa like Ghana, Egypt, Senegal or Cameroon but to a lowly ranked team like Guinea-Bissau.

To make matters worse the team has the complement of all the top stars who are currently painting Europe with world class performance.

Needless to say the super eagles recently sacked Genot Rohr and after a brief spell with Eguaveon. The NFF hurriedly brought in Jose Pesiro as the new gaffer


But the question that has been on my mind is can Jose pesiro take the super eagles to the promised land?

This is because Nigeria's current problem is not about having the players because I can say, aside from the Golden Generation the class of 1994 to 1996. The players now are arguably the best Nigeria has ever had. But the problem is we need a good technically sound coach to blend this super stars.


Under Pesaro Nigeria has had the following result


Nigeria. 1. - 2 Algeria

Nigeria. 1 - 2 Mexico

Nigeria. 0-1 Ecuador

Nigeria. 0 - 2. Costa Rica

Nigeria 0 - 4. Portugal



And they have managed only two win against a team even Enyimba will trash


Nigeria vs Sierra Leone (2-1) and

Nigeria vs. Sao Tome and Principe (10-0).

And today Guinea-Bissau. Who we demolished few months ago at the AFCON came here in our backyard... Abuja to claim a famous victory beating us Nigeria. 0 - 1. Guinea-Bissau



If we go back memory lane on Jose Pesaro career we can say he is better than an Amunike

Jose Peseiro has a poor record as manager of national teams.

He was in charge for 17 games as the manager of Saudi Arabia, winning seven, drawing six, and losing four. That’s a win percentage of 35%.

He also failed to qualify the Arab nation for the 2010 World Cup.

For Venezuela, it was worse. One win in 10 games with six losses and three draws.

He was in charge during their disastrous 2021 Copa America outing which had the team eliminated from the group stage after two draws and two defeats.

He resigned in August 2021 over the non-payment of his salaries for a year.

I sincerely believe Nigeria deserves a better coach both at the super eagles and the super falcons level. We have all the materials ,( players ) but what we need is a good coach
