Buekor Nyornebari Grace, a first class graduate of Applied and Environmental Biology (Microbiology Option) at the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, UST has cried out to the Governor of the state, Nyesom Wike to come to her aid in securing employment at the University.

The 2016 first class graduate who is also an indigene of the state graduated with a CGPA of 4.95 and is supposed to work as an assistant lecturer based on her status as first class graduates before her were usually retained but Grace's case seems to be peculiar as she is not been that lucky.

According to Jonathan Oyim, a colleague of her at UST, she has been knocking on doors of opportunities but these are not opening since their convocation on 1st April 2017.

Below are her transcript:

"On the day of the convocation, when the governor came, he didn't make any pronouncement because there was embargo on recruitment in Rivers State" Jonathan said.

"That convocation produced 5 first class students in the full school of which 3 are non Rivers indigenes while only 2 are Rivers and she was the best graduating student for the year" he continued.

"During service, she started making moves on how the process of retaining will be but she was told to hold on due to the embargo that was on and she should pray that the governor uplifts it so the process can commence" Jonathan concluded.

It would be recalled that Buekor Nyornebari Grace was among the 7 students awarded in 2014 with a laptop for their academic excellence after her Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) at 100-Level was 5.00 in 100 level scoring As all through.

Currently, Grace is teaching in a primary school and earning ₦18000.

The healing was made after the yet to be identified pastor conducted a deliverance session within the area.

It was also gathered that he has been mad for over 15 years and is mostly seen around the Choba roundabout.

He was also reportedly a drug dealer in the neighbourhood just like his brothers.

The man is also a native of Port Harcourt and from the Ogbakiri (Ikwerre) extract.

In a "turning-o-ni-on" tweet � that has gotten people throwing banters at each other, a user with the username: freakyFadey wants God to punish girls who sleeps with married men.

As usual in the way of the tweeters, some came for her telling her God will immensely punish the married men who rather cheated despite vowing to love and cherish their women.

Some even call it a "waste of prayer" while another wanted ogun - the Yoruba god of iron to rather deal with them because God is gentle.

Others even said the lady is partial and dodging the prayers while ending up collecting MFM prayer points and another even cautioned her not to insult her since they are not friends "if u think my tweet is rubbish say yours that's not rubbish. Some married men remove rings and these girls ain't prophets." SibbsJojo (the username said)

Star actor and producer, Ali Nuhu Mohammed, has encouraged secondary school students to focus on their future dreams and not be distracted, particularly as they take decision on their career choices.

Nuhu, who featured at the Kaduna edition of Promasidor Harness Your Dream, a corporate social responsibility project of Promasidor Nigeria Limited held recently, told the students at the event to embrace education first before any other pursuit. “Without solid education, you can hardly achieve anything,” he counselled.

He said the students should consider themselves lucky to have an organisation like Promasidor show commitment to youth development through the programme.

“You must understand the importance of education and not allow this opportunity of career guidance to go wasted. When I was like you, I never had the opportunity for career guidance,” he told the students, who became excited as he stepped into the hall.

Nuhu commended Promasidor for the project and said that other corporate organisations should take a cue from the company. “Corporate organisations should emulate programmes like this,” he enjoined.

Nuhu, who holds BA Geography from the University of Jos, said that parents should support their children in the careers they had flair for, explaining that his mother encouraged him and convinced his father when he decided to go into the movie industry.

Earlier, the Kaduna State Government had praised Promasidor Nigeria Limited for conceiving the project and bringing it to the state.

Addressing the students and other stakeholders at Sardauna Memorial College in Kawo New Extension, venue of the event, the Permanent Secretary of the state Ministry of Education, Mrs Kande Nana Bage described Promasidor Harness Your Dream as “an excellent programme.”

From Left: Andrew Enahoro, Head Legal and Corporate Communications, Promasidor Nigeria Limited; with Ali Nuhu, Nollywood Star; Nura Hassan Yaro, Principal of Sardauna Memorial College, Kaduna; and Olaosebikan Sunday, Regional Sales Manager, North-West, Promasidor Nigeria Limited; during the sixth edition of Promasidor Harness Your Dream (PHYD) initiative, a career guidance workshop for secondary school students, held in Kaduna recently.

“I thank Promasidor for choosing Kaduna State to be part of this programme. I feel highly delighted that Kaduna is the sixth state where this initiative is being held,” the Permanent Secretary further said, as she turned her attention to the students: “I encourage you to make good use of this opportunity. If you allow such opportunity to slip off your hand, you may not get it again. Work hard so that you will excel in future,” she further said.

The Permanent Secretary, who led her team from the Ministry and the State Universal Basic Education Commission, urged other corporate organisations to join Promasidor in developing the youth in their education and talent growth.

“Other corporate organisations should follow the example of Promasidor as this kind of initiative will further boost the interest of the students in schooling,” she admonished.

Students of five other schools participated at the workshop. They are: Dalet Girls Secondary School, Kawo; Government Girls Secondary School, Kawo; and Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi Government Secondary School, Hayin-Banki.

In his remarks, Promasidor’s Head of Legal and Corporate Communications, Mr Andrew Enahoro recalled that the career development initiative has been held in five other locations and that other states would soon benefit from the pan-Nigeria project.

From Lagos in November 2017, Promasidor Harness Your Dream has taken place in Ogun, Enugu, Cross River and Kaduna State as well as the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. One edition of the project is held in every school term with professionals from Promasidor sharing hands-on knowledge to guide the students in choosing their future careers.

The facilitators in Kaduna were Abolade Liyide, Olasunbo Amusan, Michael Nwughala and Andrew Enahoro, all staff of Promasidor Nigeria Limited. They made presentations on Personnel Management and Emerging Entrepreneurial Opportunities; Information and Communication Technology; Accounting and Business Management; and Digital Marketing.

Enahoro said that Promasidor Harness Your Dream has provided the company the opportunity to give back under its CSR strategy, which covers mentorship and empowerment.

“We try to let these children know how to make the right career choices as they go on in life. For each of the key subjects being taught at the programme, we bring from our Lagos headquarters professionals to impact hands-on knowledge on the students,” he explained.

The Promasidor spokesman said the initiative focuses on students in Junior Secondary School 3 as it has been designed to aid them to make proper career choices that relate to their talents, attitude and dreams as they prepare to conclude their career focus in the senior classes.

Promasidor has become reputable for promoting youth development in the 26 years of operation in Nigeria through other initiatives that include Cowbellpedia Secondary School Mathematics TV Quiz Show, Loya Milk Swim Meet and Cowbell Chocolate Supa Strikas competition.

The newbies indeed are mostly disappointing and taking off trust from prospects for people like me who's been here.

Any designer with no website of his own or just one project in the last one year isn't worth it

Julius2214:
These are one of the reasons I can't ever bring my business to nairaland ever again. Potential clients doesn't trust website developers/designers here again. And I don't even blame them... with all these "WordPress installers" calling themselves web designers. Once you know how to install a WordPress theme here on Nairaland, then you are a professional website designer.

I'm not saying professionals are not here, but there are just very very few of them. But the whack-jobs in here are more than 95% compared to those that really know what they're doing. You as a business owner that need a website shouldn't just give up on getting a good website designer. You can totally avoid those nut-jobs. There are some traits you can use to identify them.

1. Most of them are new here. Their accounts are not more than a few months. You'll even save yourself from scam because some of them even created the account mainly for scam. I know we are still talking about unprofessional web designers but some are actually here to scam you of your hard earned money.

When you finally pick anyone, still do your findings before handing the job to them. Search their names on the forum to see if there are any report of scam or if they're really as good as they say they are. You'll surely find out. Nairaland saves everything.

2. A supposed web designer should have a website... An appealing one at that. Before you give your web project to any designer or developer, ask to see his own website. Seeing how good his own website/portfolio is, should already give you an idea of how well he'll be doing your work for you.

I always check the business websites of the web designers here on the webmaster section. I can tell you that most of them are just WordPress themes they downloaded and installed. I even saw up to 3 websites that has exactly the same design, because they downloaded an exact same themes and installed it without any customization. Even the demo content (write-ups) from the demo were all included on the designers' website. (The theme is 'webs' or something like that)

I can boldly say that my personal/portfolio website is unique and you can't find the exact same design anywhere else. And it's not built with WordPress, (used WordPress for the blog-page though) just html, css and js.
I'm not saying that WordPress is not good. CMS are actually very good and I do use WordPress very well... I use Bootstrap Framework too. CMS are even preferable because they save you the stress and makes your work easier. But you should learn to create your own themes to suit your needs.

3. Ask for his past web projects. As a website designer, it's not possible to say you don't have any content in your portfolio. Even if you're just starting out, you should have at least 2 or 3 websites you've worked on by yourself during your learning process. It doesn't necessarily have to be for a client.

So, as a business owner looking to get a website for your business, make sure to look out for these traits in a so called web designer before letting him handle your project.
