Temistar5:
These primary school pupils were seen using charcoal to change the colour of a plank to black in order to use it to teach one another Mathematics.
At home, the pupils lacked befitting blackboard or whiteboard that the oldest among them could use to teach her younger ones Mathematics.
This made them resort to using charcoal to colour the planks, in order to make the planks look like blackboard.
One could see that these children have the zeal to learn, because they really took their time to make the planks become black in colour.
Please share, so that the world would see that these children have passion for learning.

Here is a video of what happened before the black man was shot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6ZsOP6VDH8
Thank you for this video. He charged at the police force. They didn't just start to shoot him.
While they should have shot only once in a bid to not kill him, this news is going viral because it is in a developed country. Nigerian police kill Nigerians everyday and no one is allowed to video anything.
In Nigeria, the police do not need you to hold a walking stick or charge to kill you. Having a laptop or iphone is enough to get a Nigerian police officer to kill anyone.
Canada is still safer. I have locked my car doors only twice since I got here. I take my dog out to walk at 2am. I am not afraid. In Nigeria at 10pm everyone is putting off lights so armed robbers do not know they are home.

Your comment isnt sincere,he wanted suicide and he got one..He killed himself,he wasnt law abiding,and they(his family) called it PTSD as an alibi ,absolute rubbish.
The dude was holding/wielding a Knife,and for law enforcement agents to make resolutions with him,after he was alleged to have threatened some people,i think he should have been reasonable enough to fear the police at their first sight,can he try that rubbish in Sudan where he came from.
They even negotiated with him at first from a distance,he surged forward ,and a dog was sent to scare him,how dare he stabs a police dog,he was obviously on a suicide moves,when the dog and police presence cant scare him to submission,who else will,a gun has to be pulled,let us be reasnable,and not drift to racism everytime when our black folks act like animals.
This was probably not meant for me. I guess you were responding to someone as I made no comment.

Several speakers refuted the police version of events, saying Tuel was “simply waiting for the bus” and the item police called a weapon was a retractable cane he used to help him walk due to issues with his knee. His reaction in hitting the dog, they said, was in self-defence and didn’t warrant his death.

“I want to ask all of you here; (would you) stay and put your hands in your pockets when somebody’s unleashed a K-9 dog on you?” said Odame-Ankrah. “Naturally, you go into defence. It’s a natural human reaction.”

Loved ones reiterated Tuel’s struggles with his mental health, referencing his PTSD and struggles in recent days. Regardless of his mental state, they say police had other options that wouldn’t have resulted in Tuel’s death. Police efforts to resolve the situation without violence were not enough, they said.

CrimeRe: Canadian Police Kill Latjor Tuel, Abandon Body, Call Ambulance For His Dog (Pix) by Shokoloko(f): 11:38pm On Feb 23, 2022
Calgary's Sudanese community is in mourning today after Calgary police shot and killed a Black man identified by community members as Latjor Tuel.

Laying flowers close to the scene of the shooting near the area of 45th Street and 17th Avenue S.E. on Sunday afternoon, community members shared stories of Tuel.

"We are saddened and heartbroken at the incident that happened yesterday," said Khor Top, president of the South Sudanese Community of Calgary. "We are here to mourn and to show the support for Latjor and the family."

Members at the gathering remembered Tuel as a gentle and kind person who was a former child soldier from South Sudan.

They said he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of that experience, along with other mental health issues.

On Saturday, Calgary police said they had been called to the area shortly after 3:40 p.m. after hearing reports of a man believed to be in possession of weapons.

Police said witnesses reported the man had assaulted a bystander and threatened others and alleged that the "man's actions led to officers discharging their service weapons."

"Life-saving efforts were attempted, however, the man was pronounced deceased at the scene," police said in a release issued Saturday.

The incident is now being investigated by Alberta's policing watchdog, the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT).

Police said that while the incident remains under investigation, no further information will be released.

CrimeRe: Canadian Police Kill Latjor Tuel, Abandon Body, Call Ambulance For His Dog (Pix) by Shokoloko(f): 11:36pm On Feb 23, 2022
Alberta’s police watchdog says a man killed by Calgary officers was Tasered and hit with less-lethal projectiles from a launcher before two officers shot and killed him.

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team says Latjor Tuel was wielding a stick and a knife before charging at officers and a police dog.

In less than 30 minutes after the arrival of police Saturday, a video of the shooting shared online showed Tuel, who was 41, lying motionless on the ground.

Friends and family of Tuel, a Black man born in South Sudan, say he was mentally distressed, and they’ve drawn attention to systemic racism while criticizing police for what they consider an excessive use of force.

Calgary police Chief Mark Neufeld says police officers responded rather than mental-health workers, because reports said Tuel had assaulted someone in the community.

Neufeld says officers attempted a peaceful resolution for a “significant period of time,” but Tuel refused to surrender his weapons and the situation turned deadly.

“As long as the person is in possession of weapons, and there isn’t a productive dialogue that can actually lead toward the person relinquishing those, that’s a very significant crisis situation,” Neufeld said Tuesday at a media conference.

Prostration is the best position to communicate with Allah and a true Muslim would prostrate over 34 times daily in Prayer!
All is acceptable. Posture does not determine if prayer is heard

Hello Everyone,

please is it compulsory to work while schooling?

I do not intend to work while schooling, I only wanna work once I am done with my program?

is there any consequence for working while schooling..

Thank you.
Please try and work while in school (at least during the summer).
There is something called "Canadian work experience". Their ethics are a little different from what we have here in Nigeria.
Its better you learn it and make the mistakes (in student jobs) while in school than to make the mistake in your "serious" job after school.

The stakes are higher as you want to keep your job in order to apply for express entry.

sunnx:
You go smile tire to customer in other to be tip but remember when you're getting this tip, remember the day of shortage because your T.O will not send you, h/she will just debit you. Teller job favours ladies at most but guys there struggle for survival but alot of experience is there to be learn but ensure you trust non of your colleagues and never leave your system open and cubicle. Also any money vaulted out for you by your T.O verify it well before accepting and signing for it because sometimes, a huge manipulation happen inside vault especially during daily opening balance and night closing balance. Bank job sweet when you don't have issue. Less I forget, verify all check very well before paying out. Note CBN CAC do short, like I said verify cash given to you before signing for acceptance. #50k is poor but soon it will be increased. Banking job is sweet but ashawo full inside.
I agree with the bolded.
When I was a young, naive teller in the bank, my head cashier dealt with me. I was paying money and because he was elderly I never suspected anything. He was always the last to leave, until one day I decided I would wait to see him conclude his activities for the day and caught him.

Another good tip for the OP is do not keep money on the table inside your cubicle as your colleague can stretch out a hand and collect some. Keep money on the ground inside the cubicle and keep cubicle doors shut always.

As I'm talking to you now there are many desperate adult Chinese ladies looking for husband

And by the way I was interested because she's older than me, despite that fact that she know, she still persuading me to be in relationship with her, all because her parents are on her nerve to get married

I'm 15 years old, my family is in this process is thought of helping my mum out with some infos here she's a busy person and she's already on numerous whatsapp and telegram groups already, we got ITA via MPNP our AOR is January 2022
I heard PNP application processing time is already back in the 6 months range, I just want to confirm that for my mum
Also, I'm in ss3 I want to know if it's better for me to go back to high school when we get to winnipeg or I should go to college straight away. but I want to go back to high school because I literally don't understand the context of Nigerian physics and chemistry
ps: I've been on this thread since 2019 I logged in 2022
your responses are highly appreciated
cheers!!
You sound so cute grin. Congratulations and good job helping your mum.
It depends on what you want to study. If your desired course requires much of physics and chemistry then do a year of high school. If not I would recommend going straight to college.
Most colleges offer courses to help you with subjects you are deficient in.
I hope others will chip in.

Don't mind that young lady, she is still young that is a reason she is taking all this trash,

As an talking to you now, they is this Chinese lady in Singapore, I have been chatting with for almost 3 months now, she 35 year old she seriously need a husband, I mean this is a lady with a net worth of 78M Hong Kong Dollar, and a property in her name in Hong Kong, she has shown me all this in the course of our discussion, do you know how much is that in naira? , But She is desperately looking for a husband, for all I knew, I mean this is someone who would have just said I have all the money in this world why will I need a man for again.

So you see, let them keep deceiving themselves, the truth is a woman with money or without money can't live without a man
I think this Chinese lady is puling your legs grin. If she really wanted a spouse, with all her money she would get one. There are more men in her country than women.
She is not desperate. If you think she is desperate, keep talking to her for the next six months. You will see that the lady will not move the relationship any further beyond chatting.

The right term is financially stable career woman!
shocked[/quote

Look below at the definition of success.
If marriage is not someone's list of achievement, you cannot use that to qualify.
I see a lot of young people on Nairaland stating that they dont want marriage but children. So if they reach all desired goals, plus children minus marriage. They are successful.
Our Lord Jesus was successful without marriage, because it was not in his life plan.

The issue of adultery is divorce PLUS remarriage. Luke 16:18 - Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
Divorce alone is not adultery
I was not talking about Tonto. Churchill has a wife Bimbo Coker Churchill

If the pastor is not a professing Christian he need not take this advice to heart. This saying is simply not for non-christians.
