Tiger Woods is a cat on nine lives. Kudos to the legend.

But that number 21 be like chinko name o! Abi chinko sef dey get black people?

What is really happening in the US aviation industry? I just hope that sabotage is not involved.

May the souls of the deceased rest in peace and may peace return to US airspace.

This is not even funny anymore! Nowhere is safe in Nigeria now and it doesn't look like there is any solution in sight.

Governments at all levels need to do right by the people. Their first duty is the protection of lives and properties of the citizens.

This is the way to go! There should be no sacred cows in the fight to flatten the curve of COVID-19.

It's even disheartening that this infraction was committed by those expected to provide leadership.

That independence was surrendered a long time ago. A more appropriate advice would be to tell them to think of their post-NASS life and do what is right.

However, in the final analysis, the people would have to take their fate in their hands. Hong Kong, Chile, Algeria etc on my mind.

Let me come and be going o, before dem accuse me of hate speech. I nor wan die.

Where you stand depends on where you sit. Politics of accommodation.

While not holding brief for MTN, I don't think that the Attorney General has the power to order any body to pay a tax. The State Internal Revenue Service or the FIRS should be in that position.

However, MTN's argument with respect to back duty is tepid and will not fly.

Let due process be followed sha.

The claim of the poster is doubtful.

The citizens in the video were not running like there was any threat to their safety. Also, there was no reference to the part of the state where the purported shooting took place

We need to be careful with what we put in the public domain. There is no point heating up the already charged atmosphere.

Electorate are wiser now. That is called policing your vote.

Eternal vigilance is the key to democratic freedom

Female athletes doing Nigeria proud since nineteen before the war.

We are proud of you girls. Go for it.

Hopefully, Kelechi will have more playing time under the new coach.

Normal curve

dejt4u:
not up too 9000 students are graduating.. not even up to 8000. read the stat in the post again

7176 graduating students

first class = 1.28%
2nd class upper = 26.92%
2nd class lower =51.94%
3rd class = 18.24%
pass = 1.63%
aegrotat = 0.028%

Mod, please push this to FP to inform the public and possibly force MTN to review this consumer unfriendly action.

Thank you.

This is tantamount to increasing the cost of data. The N1,000 monthly data plan now runs from 1am to 7am daily. Same for the N2,000 data.

This is no good news at all. MTN but why?

This story is too good to be true. How much did they plan to make from registration for them to have spent N20m on hacking a website? And by the way, is any Nigerian website that secure for anyone to spend that amount of money to hack? What is the level of IT literacy of these NSCDC guys to have discovered this "fraud"?

There are more questions than answers!

Face saving........?

Match was postponed not CANCELLED.

RIP to Ugo Ehiogu.

And about 99% of the so called nurses in private Hospitals in Ogun state are quacks. People need to be very careful ,a lot of people have been affected negatively. I wish an anti-quackery patrol can be down throughout the hospitals, cos if they say they should come and re-register, what most of them do is to get a professional nurse License and pay her while she doesn't work in that Hospital.
Corruption everywhere....

This is serious o! If you are sure of your information however, you may go the whistle blowing way. Who knows, you may even become rich. But seriously, you will be doing the nation and the helpless and hapless citizens a great disservice by not raising the alarm.

God bless you as you do so

I usually have this intermittent sharp pain in my heart once in a while. Just comes and goes immediately.

It started about 3months ago.

Doctors on the house,is it something to worry about?

It may be something to worry about. Why not see a medical practitioner or call the phone numbers in the link. Better safe than sorry.

NB: I am not a medical doctor

Good idea. I particularly like the part that talks about original vehicle manufacturers being aware of vehicles coming to Nigeria especially for the purpose of recalls. About time too. The big question is, "will it work in a corruption ridden Nigerian system?"

Good one OP. Moderation should be the watchword

New dawn. Congratulations to the new VC.

Rest in Peace mama

Thanks Export1. You are the best.

God bless you

Hello Export 1,

Kindly check this vin JTJHF10U130312646

Thank you

There is a need to create more awareness. There are still a number of unreported cases. But this is a good one from the Nigeria Police

Sunnypar:
I was opportuned to mark the scripts! Mama, Papa, Uncle and Aunty. Let me be frank with you, there is no hope for education in this country with what I saw, a lot of abbreviations such as "d" "WS", " dey" "4", " dis*, wrong spellings, improper use of words, wrong grammatical construction of sentences e.t.c it so bad.
Well, I would not blame them, when a teacher who is B.sc Mechanical Engineering would take Mathematics, Physics, Agriculture, Government, Literature and Basic technology, he becomes jack of all trade master of none.
In addition, we have a lot of distractions such as phone, internet. More so, the reading culture is dead even here on Nairaland you hear comments like," I did not read it, its too long". The classes are not properly equipped for learning, not many school have library even if they do how many students would go there?, many mushroom schools making money, high turnover of teachers in most private school, tutorial centers are dying by the day even entertainment is given so much publicity than academic brilliance.
Why is there no an academic TV station? How do we rectify this decay in the system?. If something is not done about it, am sorry we may have to beg our colonial masters to come back. It is a very pathetic situation.
Please, forty something percent is a D7 by waec standard and so therefore they(students have not done well).

Even if there is an academic station, how many of the students will tune to it? Learn (DSTV Channel 319) has been on air for a long time. How many students are aware of its existence? And for those who are aware, how many watch it?

2rutalk1:
If you have interest in academics, go for Msc. You cannot do a PhD programme with MBA certificate in Nigeria even in some other climes. Infact, as a young graduate Msc is the way go to. MBA only pays when you are already in your job and want promotion in your career.

Supported

This is a relatively long post, but I promise you it will be worth every second you spend reading it.

Here is the story.

I love Babatunde Fashola. Wait, I meant Minister Babatunde Raji Fashola! I admire the many qualities he radiates – Excellence, Hard work, and Ingenuity, to mention but a few of the traits that have seen him grow from Chief of Staff, to Governor, and to a Super Federal Minister in 12years.

Mr Fashola is a superstar among stars.

You see, the good thing about success is that it can be repeated - by watching and learning from those that have excelled in an area. This is why people have mentors and read biographies.

I wanted to see the career success ingredients we can learn from Fashola’s success story. These are the top 3 factors I found:

1. Hard Work

I bet you are not surprised to see this. It’s possible you are even tired of hearing it. But it’s true. Hard work is a life principle one must obey to be successful. It is the baseline of great achievements.

Indeed, hard work pays.

I have found that 3 major things happen when you work hard at anything:
•Your knowledge in that area will increase.
•Because you know more, you will deliver more and better results.
•Because you know more and now deliver great results, your confidence level will soar when it comes to that field.

These 3 processes are why we have specialists, thought leaders and consultants.

I tell you a story. I once heard Mr Fela Durotoye extol the virtues of hard work at a conference I attended in May 2014. He cited an example of him having the keys to the office in his early days at a consulting firm in Lagos because he was always the first person to get to the office and also one of the last to leave. According to him, he worked so hard at that firm that when he wanted to quit some years later to start his own private practice, the company’s management did not want him to go.

You see, what this story shows us is that he had increased his knowledge in the field through hard work which in turn drove up his confidence to a level where he was ready to stand on his own.

Nothing great comes by casual effort. Maybe a few good things, but the great ones always require discipline, dedication, diligence and tenacity – all components of hard work.

2. Focus on delivering results

As Governor, Mr Fashola made some decisions that seemed unpopular at the time. Looking backwards, we see that those decisions paid off. The results from these decisions are additions to his resume and they attest to his quality as a leader.

Results act as the fuel that grows a career. The bigger your results, the faster and higher your career will grow. In some situations, the “people you know” and “luck” may not be sufficient for you to move ahead in life; but always, and always, results will speak for you.

To grow any career, it must be laden with results, accomplishments and trophies. When you have results; employers will find you even without applying.

Outlining one's accomplishments is the reason for resumes. I don't know why we’ve adopted the word “resume” for job applications, but I suggest it be renamed Result Sheet.

A title like Result Sheet informs you to focus on what you’ve done in the past and not on overrated details like:
•Your state of origin
•Hobbies (I bet you 9 out 10 CVs will have - reading, travelling and listening to music).

Why should you focus on results you might ask? The reason is simple, an employer will want to give you a job because of the things you’ve done in the past. It is not your “experience”, but the results produced during that experience that matter to employers.

You might ask again why are employers fixated on results? It is simply because they want to succeed. When recruiters see a resume laden with results, they are readily thinking:

If this person has done it for company A, then s/he can do it for me too.

This is how it works!

I'm sure President Buhari must have thought "If Fashola can do it for Lagos, then he can do it for Nigeria".

The result is why you work hard. When you work hard, you will get good results and your results will in turn sell you. People might not like your gut, tribe or look, but they sure will be in love with your results.

No one argues with results. No one!

3. Keep Learning

I put this last because I wanted to reward those who will read this post till the end. So clap for yourself for making it this far. You are hardworking.

Since knowledge is what we put to use at work, it follows that the more you know, the more you can do. The ability to learn, relearn and to keep at it, is the most important attitude or skill one can have in life. Knowledge empowers you. It enables you to achieve more.

The need to keep learning is even more relevant today than ever before. The spectrum of knowledge changes way faster today than we’ve ever seen in human history. To grow a career now, one must develop a consciousness to keep learning.

I give you an example:

I studied Geography in the University and ideally, this is supposed to be what I'm trained for and will be using to work today. But this is not the case.

What I'm doing today has nothing to do with Geography. To be sincere, I can’t even remember some of the things I learnt back in OAU and I was good at Geography. Heck, I graduated with a 2.1! But really, all those count for nothing when it comes to the knowledge I put to the work I'm doing today.

I have been at Insidify.com for 2 years and some months and each year, I have had to learn to stay relevant. What I did when I first joined the team here in 2013 is different from what I did in 2014. Even more, what I was doing between January & May 2015 is different from what I do now. If what I knew a year ago is what I’m bringing to the table today, let’s just say I will be out of a job. To grow our career, you and I have to keep learning. And fast.

I’d also chip in that your University grade shouldn't be a barrier to your success in life. Fashola finished with a 2:2 and has outperformed a lot of his peers with better grades. The grade is not always an indicator of how successful you would be and having a defeatist mindset is the first thing that can kill one's career.

Always remember that consistent learning keeps you relevant. You will be able to produce more result and your career will grow. This is important because knowledge is what people pay for. Why you pay your tailor is because he knows how to make a great shirt, not because of his name or where he came from.

Looking at the Mr Fashola’s example, we know that the knowledge he needed to be a Chief of Staff was different from what he required to be a Governor. Presently, he’ll need to acquire some new knowledge to function in his new role as a super minister.

The Key takeaways of this post:
1.Keep Learning: This is the fuel that drives growth. This is how you stay relevant. Read more books and useful blogs, watch more videos, go for more training, etc.
2.Work Hard: More than others in your chosen path. Go the extra mile. Stay an extra hour if you have to. The results will show it.
3.Focus on Results: Ignore the noise and discouragement and ensure your hard work produces results.

My last words to you will be: choose a path, learn the ropes, and work hard at it so that you can produce the results that no one can argue with. This way, you will watch your career soar – like Minister Fashola’s.
