CareerRe: What Certification Can I Do As An Engineer? by SHOPPERS(m): 8:16am On Apr 01, 2017
oyb:
one of the most annoying things is this rubbish where 'educated' people continue to celebrate tinkerers and artisans as 'practical' work

what you are most likely to learn at the hands of your electrician is how to cut corners, provide solutions that fail after two weeks, and a rote understanding of anything.

my biggest grouse with learning from artisans is that it can fundamentally alter your approach to problem solving. our artisans here either deliberately or by otherwise, are not into root cause analysis. this is why you can find your artisan running the same repair very other month.

first off, electrical/electronics engineering is a very broad field. what are you interested in? power, telecomms , building services, control, IT?

that will determine your path.

ask your dad or relatives to connect you to friends who are engineers [esp those who have their own businesses] and offer to work with them for free. brush aside the boy boy rubbish [inevitable in nigeria] and focus on picking knowledge
You are not serious are you?

Those month re-repairs are intentional ways of making repeat money from the same customer now... They sabi wetin them dey do

If the address is closes to you, go there with someone, before that date and observe things for yourself.
good suggestion. If there is any number there, simply call same with another number and form as if you're a customer . Ask them about the deal that you had about delivery of Gas, if the person sounds confused and is telling you wrong number, bust am.

PhonesRe: Top 5 Things The Samsung Galaxy S8 Can Do That The Iphone Can’t by SHOPPERS(m): 7:36am On Apr 01, 2017
Most of these comparisons are not really about specs... You're just being one sided. Internal storage for Iphone is the 256G right while Samsung only has 64G, being expandable up to 256G does not mean it would be expanded eventually.

Again, the headphone thing, some of us prefer it that way... Infact, its supposed to be a plus for Apple's device not the other way round. Don't tell us about charging, tell us about how fast they both drain or the battery capacity biko.... Would like to know
CareerRe: On The Job Training by SHOPPERS(m): 8:40pm On Mar 31, 2017
If I give you advice, you may not like it... What you need is money. What you want is job. What you are looking for is a paying job. Bro, road side mechanics can change your life for good if only you really need an "on the job" training and wanting to get paid with it. Within six month as an already certified engineer, you should have gotten the hang of it and be ready to set yours.

Christianity EtcNew Laws For Christians? by SHOPPERS(op): 9:02am On Mar 26, 2017
I was considering Hebrews 10:1 over the night and I discovered a very simple but scary truth.
"The law..... Can never....... make perfect
those who draw near to worship."
Heb. 10:1 NIV
.
.
Now that seems clear enough but the problem is with the fact that our Church leaders abandoned the said old testament laws and came up with new ones. Still, the same truth applies, No law no matter how repackaged can ever make perfect those who draw near to worship.
.
It is unjustifiable to assume that some part of the old laws are right and keep to them while others can be done away with. Churches just pick whichever ones suit them and modify it. Still, Christianity as one man of God clearly explained is not about dos and don'ts. It is about done, done, done! Christ has done it all. No matter the amount of good you do, it just won't qualify you, only the blood of Jesus Christ can cleanse you from sin.
.
.
It is never by how perfect or justified your doctrines are or how strict you keep to them. It is about God's saving grace purchased by the blood of the slain Lamb of God.
.
.
I pray God opens our eyes of understanding more and more.


.
For further insights, please study the books of Romans and Hebrews.
Happy Easter celebrations in advance.

Na so.... Police is an agency of the Presidency. Forget it, their harassment is not even limited to ordinary citizens alone, remember Governorship elections where Policemen were withdrawn from sitting Governors because they are from a different party from that of the president? That's not even expected to have happened at all.

Trust me, sometimes your DOB is very important for companies that have a stipulated age bracket for a particular position. But maybe not sha.

Sensible points here though...

11. Religion
Who needs to know if you're not an atheist? Except if you're applying for job in a Trump Organization sha or applying to a religious organization. Applying to religious NGOs too may require that.
....
12. Primary school and Secondary school details. If you're a graduate, your highest form of education is what os necessary. You won't be in a University or a Polytechnic if you did not pass through those elementary stages.

From what we know here for a fact, both Saraki and his wife are not moslems. Saraki lived with his Mum who is a Christian and Toyin too is a Christian. Abubakar was added to Sasaki's name when he was gonna come into politics in Kwara state.

Even the current wife of Kwara state governor is a Christian..

FamilyThe Challenges Of Not Being A Pastor's Child by SHOPPERS(op): 3:20am On Dec 01, 2016
I read that post from one of those over celebrated and "expected-to-function-perfectly-regardless-of-parental-input" kids who sometimes make everyone believe all they deserve by being given birth to by "men of God" is pity and imperfection. I can't but wonder why this issue is still being repeated over and over again. I am not here to make you see the challenges of not being born from your type of parents per se but to help you understand that you guys are still damn so lucky. You are just so lazy to put to good use what privileges you have by right of birth.

One of the main reasons why you see from this blinding curtain of "people expect so much from us and our parents give us so little" mindset is because of how the society has highly magnified the office and position of your parents and how they have made you believe that it is written on your foreheads that your Dad or Mum is a Pastor or a man of God. Is it a crime for your parents to have chosen the paths they are on now because they wanted to raise children? Most of the challenges you guys do claim you face are faced on a higher level by children of parents of other professions and yet we do not find them lazying about telling tales of how "challenging" it is to be a child to their parents because of their chosen profession.

Let me start by getting your mind on the simple fact that your counterparts; Imams' and other Islamic Clerics' children do not complain as much as you do. Yet they are faced sometimes with even worse situations. Do your parents beat hell out of you just to force you to learn one particular chapter of the Bible? Do they make sure you attend Bible study everyday after school and you must still top the Bible study class. Or maybe your own parents because they are Pastors are forcing you to learn Greek or Hebrew o as to understand the Bible better.

If you are thinking you grew up with Pressure either to be academically sound or morally upright, ask someone who was brought up by a Teacher or better still a Professor.

Oh, you were talking about some people expecting you to be like your Dad. Ask a Doctor's child what profession he or she is most times automatically expected to take on. You had better not be dull in school or you will have people looking at you with that eye of "this one must be cursed". You also said something about Career choice too. Hmmmm, ask Lawyers' kids if they can become a Pastor. Their parents' "God forbid!" will sound better than your Dad's, trust me.

Sometimes too, you guys complain of your parents neglecting you and not giving you time. Haha, Haba. Do you have friends whose parents are both working in a bank? You can try and meet children from other families who only get to see their Dads only once or twice in a year like me due to the forever away nature of their jobs.

Now, let us face the real thing

You guys enjoy certain privileges in church all because your parents are the ones in charge.

1. Learning instruments: Yes, as easy as it seems, it is quite easier for a pastor's kid to start learning how to play instruments right from a tender age. If you are not a pastor's and you get near some churches' drums ehn... Hmmm. Na so those drummers go dey eye you as if you are there to destroy the drums but who dare do that to a pastor's kid.

2. Insubordination: You people are mostly disobedient both in church and elsewhere because people do not want to discipline you simply because you are "omo pastor". We fear anointing by birth so much that we allow your lives to go undisciplined. You guys better get a grip.

3. General special treatment: This should encompass all what I need to say. You are unfairly treated specially even sometimes better than those older than you by those who by virtue of position are lesser than your parents but may by virtue of both position and age be higher than you. Sunday school teacher dare not punish you for any reason. The ushers especially ensures your caucus in church do not need to be questioned while you roam about during service. While the rest of us are to remain seated till the end of the service.

4. Closeness to a Spiritual resource: Though many of you blatantly refuse to take advantage of this or give excuses of neglect, it is still there. Your Dad prays for people, he teaches people, he counsels people but you have so much taken Him for granted that you do not even think of reaching out to him for assistance spiritually. You can learn how to grow spiritually from your Godly parents easily; do so.

5. Availability of useful Christian literature and materials: I know of a Pastor with so many books in his room but his kids will prefer to take on cloths, wristwatches, shoes and other stuffs from his room and leave that. We do not have that luxury. What books we read, we need to either buy or borrow. Your own parents have it all.

6. Time: Whereas you complain of your parents not giving you time, I believe such are good times for personal development.

These are some sweet but often ignored benefits of being a Pastor's kid. It's a bed dear Makydebbie, not a flower-bed. It's made of foam not roses. Yet it is comfortable. And as you lay your bed.......

You guys better wake up and grow up. You are normal kids regardless of your parent's profession. Your life is yours and solely you are responsible for it. Don't live a life of pain and hatred because you want to get back at a man who is simply living His for God.
NYSCRe: Why Do You Need To Open A Fresh Bank Account At The Camp? by SHOPPERS(m): 6:21am On Nov 27, 2016
Don't open a new bank account in camp. A new one will still be opened for you in your PPA. Banks used per PPA are different. NYSC claims they want you to open an account with NYSC as the referral or something so that they can easily resolve any issue you might have as per allawee. Though I really don't fall for that but we all had to open a new bank account (Zenith then) the first day we got to our PPA. The camp one is just cajoling.

Christianity EtcRe: 10 Ways To Live A More Spiritual Life by SHOPPERS(m): 6:13pm On Oct 09, 2016
This discussion may be too deep for weak and immature Christians. Only very few Christians understand truly when we say that "there are Spirits other than the Holy Spirit which are not necessarily bad". There is even a spirit which is personal to every human being>> One verse says "There is a Spirit in man".

Just like you can call any phone with a functional sim card in it as long as you have the phone number and have credit on your own line; so also can you call out to other people's spirits. It works, I've tried it. You can invite a friend over to your place simply because you have an important info to pass across to them. You can also influence what people do by working with their spirits. That is what favouritism works on.

There are just various ways to use the spirit in you and other spirits around, you only get mature by exercising> Heb 5:14.

The Holy Spirit is the ultimate Spirit of all. Jesus Christ enumerated various functions and duties of the Holy Spirit for us, read the book of John starting from chapter 9 or so. You will then need to ask for the Holy Spirit and then submit yourself to Him.

God Bless us all.
