Don't mind them. As an English instructor, I earn 6 figures at my place of work. Then I earn 3 times my salary from my private practice. I do online teaching too. Then there are one-off jobs that come in between. I'm still in my school because I need the platform to get side jobs

Good morning.
I'm great at maths.
Please kindly point out platforms or connects if possible where I can find students online who needs help with maths.

Thank you.

Strokes:
Tell him to engage in online tutoring. He doesn't need any full time teaching that will waste away his time and sanity. He can make up to 1m monthly if he's very smart and vast with the use of technology.

If at all he would do a full time job, it should be to firstly get established and have a platform. A lot of international students are looking for Maths specialists as private tutors.

Good day chief. I'm great at maths and the sciences!
I have also developed a talent of explaining complex ideas and problems in simple terms using examples from daily life to enhance my student's understanding and also make learning very attractive. Kindly point me to some online platforms that could connect teachers to international students.

Thank you.

. The North could be a powerhouse, but they keep getting stuck with leaders who don't know what they're doing.

Before oil took over, the North, especially Kano, was a major player in manufacturing. Those industrial estates –Challawa Sharada, Bompai, you name it – were churning out all sorts of stuff, just as good as anything you'd find in Lagos or Ogun. They were making it in the North back then – biscuits, sweets, detergents, even cosmetics! It was the Indians and Lebanese who came in and set up all these factories, giving lots of people jobs and bringing in a lot of money for the government.

But the rise of the oil industry and the political dominance of Northern in Nigeria during the 1980s contributed to the neglect and eventual decline of the region's established industries.

In the 1980s, Aminu Dantata, Dangote's maternal uncle, acquired most of these companies and industrial estates in Kano and promptly shut them down. Just like that!


Northern Nigerian Flour Mills (NNFM), the makers of Golden Penny noodles, was once the pride of Bompai Industrial Estate. By the mid-2000s, however, the factory finally shut its doors. Before its closure, the area bustled with activity, attracting traders from across Nigeria, West Africa, and even overseas, making it as lively as Alaba International Market. Today, the scene is drastically different—silent and deserted, with only a lone gateman stationed outside. Yet, in a curious parallel to the Port Harcourt refinery and similar establishments, senior staff continue to draw salaries despite the factory’s inactivity.

Northern Nigerian Flour Mills have now been converted to a warehouse and Golden Penny noodles is now manufactured in Lagos and sent here embarassed


Our brother, Buhari was president for eight years, but he never considered reviving any of the industrial estates or big companies. Northern governors didn’t push him either, content with the steady inflow of funds from the federation account. Instead, billions were wasted on a fruitless search for oil in the north and Niger.

Had these funds been invested in agriculture and the northern manufacturing companies, there would likely be no fear of the current tax reforms.

There is this girl who combined UI Medical school with being a bespoke shoe maker making shoes to order by hand in her own mini factory at Ibadan and she is so passionate and successful at shoe making that whilst in medical school, she could afford to buy expensive shoe making equipment and hire staff and she gets a lot of orders from abroad.

She combined shoe making with UI medical school and despite having a nervous breakdown and being defiled by a senior Doctor from UCH who she asked to help her with exam preparation, she just finished medical school at 26 years old.

Her name is Goodness Adeosun.

Really inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

When same happened to mou in Chelsea and Madrid and man utd... You'll crucified him.

Truth is... I don't understand why those players and tired of pep. They're winning trophies for crying out loud

Recently, I stumbled across a video of the team in the dressing room. Pep keeps screaming at them the way a school teacher scream at students that didn't do assignment.
Poor kids are already mentally exhausted and they need a break

temisartana:
I started mine at 32yrs 7 years after B.sc, though I had M.sc as well but today I'm almost in my final year.

And I knew someone that started at the age of 37years, some many years after B.sc and today she is already a senior registrar(soon to become a consultant) and she is still looking young with 4 children.

If you really want to study the course and you have what it takes, why not go for it.

I scored almost 300 in the just concluded Jamb, so I believe I've what it takes so long as hardwork and brilliance is concerned.

It's just the issue of finance that I'm a little worried about. By God's grace I've saved funds that would last me at least up to level 3 in medical school.

But I won't allow that bother me so much. I believe God is in control .

I'll do my best to work harder on my side hustle make and save more money in my level 1. As you know, the courses been offered in year one are still basic sciences, so by the grace of God, I can easily juggle studies with work.

ItisWell22:
Started at 26, 7years after qualifying as a nurse.

In finals now.

If you want it, go for it.

It’s really tough, but surely doable.

Thanks Doc

I just clocked 29 and I'm about to begin my MBBS program in a federal University in the north six years after acquiring my BSc. I pray for God's mercies.

Even me as a Northerner I will pack my belongings to seek my fortunes elsewhere the day AREWA become a nation of it own,l.

But that doesn't mean that I don't love Arewa but the mentality of my people hmn. sai ahankali

Me and you are in thesame boat, dan'uwa.

Dogalmighty17:
Christmas party at an islamic high school? Am I on drugs or I actually read that right?

As far as the two Christianity and Islam is concerned, the Yorubas are very liberal. That's one beautiful thing about them and adore then for that . In thesame family and in thesame house, you could even see siblings practicing either of the two religions while the love and respect they have for each other is still intact


Tinubu and his wife comes to mind.

Is this not thesame akpaboi senate order woke to halt demolition until investigations are completed?

.
So Marta still dey play ball?

DrAda:
Every birth. The reason is quite simple. When the new born baby sucks the breast, the brain releases a hormone called oxytocin. This hormone helps to contract the uterus which serves to prevent further bleeding follwing child birth.

However this can be very painful. Almost as painful as labour. I am actually quite surprised tha many people don't know.

This is serious Nobody or woman around me ever talked about it before

I'm quite sure many younger girls who are yet to become mothers might not have heard about it too

DrAda:
Like some experienced mothers have mentioned in this platform, the initial period of breastfeeding is associated with excruciating pain. This pain eases up over several days, and then stops.

This has absolutely nothing to do with being Gen Z and since many people are ignorant of this, I want to applaud the young woman for sharing her experience with us all.

Doc. Are the pains unique to the first birth or is it common in every birth?

Orlu13:
liars....bring real proof not all this dem say dem say


even if as a husband if I want to cheat, why in Gods name will I look fr my fellow man....is dat not madness

any woman dat catch her husband cheating on her with a man, the woman should help us and kpai him


The lesser these fools are alive, d better

From the report and the names of the wives stated there in, it's obvious that it's much more common in the western world than here, Africa.

elfico:
Even worn torn countries are not as bad as this.

That reminds me, the death toll in Gaza since the start of the war is not up to 50,000 yet.

This life sef, I recall around the mid 2000s, funke akindele was a nobody in the film industry.

I still remember a nollywood movie where she played the role of a maid while Rita Dominic and Stella Damasus were the lead actresses.

If persin tell her say there might come a time in the future when she'd become more relevant, richer and influential than the more prettier actresses, she for say na lie. Infact, she fit think say the persin just dey mock her.

nwirinedu:
Focus on securing your throne. Your people are not complaining.

Exactly. Na this kind shalaye first make the elites collude with Ganduje sieze his throne the the other time.

The oppressed are not complaining, infact they will are still strongly in full support of their brother oppressors so long as elections are concerned, so wetin come consign you?

Sanusi obviously never learn him lesson at all

RandDigital:
Zimbabwean blacks you mean? Later today I'm gonna drop a thread of your naija bloda who got gunned in SA recently. Stay tuned!

Please feel free to proceed if that's what will bring you the joy and satisfaction you are obviously lacking in life


It's funny how you guys always claim you are better than Nigerians but you keep going the extra mile to get our attention.

If that's not low self-esteem then I'll eat my keyboard

Silentgroper:
the mods are trying to give room for news from other countries ...


Only the south African has been the most consistent ..

It's obvious that this South African guy is paying nairaland for his country to get more attention and reactions from Nigerians

Why always them?

.
It's a shame that this South African keeps posting shallow and immoral stuffs on nairaland especially when there are so much incredible stories, tradition and invention from your country that deserves to be shared.


Why does it give you so much joy provoking negative reactions from Nigerians, potentially leading to a pointless and inflammatory online exchange?

I no blame you sha, na mostly the fault of the mods wey you dey bribe to get your topics to fp.

KosiGee:
It’s called Dandaudu.

Homosexuality is common in the north.

"Dandaudu" is name for a crossdresser or effeminate man.

An homosexual is particularly referred to as "Dan madigo."


Almost thesame as Dandaudu sha

. Ah. Those guys are still trapped there. Haba SA Is it so hard to forgive?

Always want to discredit Islam... Carry drug go there and let see what will happen to you tomorrow...

You no pass the corner of your village typing gribished

But I'm also a Muslim and I'm not quite happy with what is happening in Saudiyya.

You don't have to pass the corner of my village bro. All the information you need is at your fingertips. You could do a little research on Google, you will definitely find news articles where MBS banned praying for Palestinians in the major mosques. Infact, he even arrested some imams.

MBS just recently legalized the sales of alcohol. Check and see.

Right now, Saudiyya the cradle of Islam is being ruled by an ex Muslim.

MBS is an atheist!

Ezendigbo1978:
They should be ready for alcohol, fornication and the likes. You can't claim woke at the same time claim holy. You have to choose one!

Lol it seems you have not been following Saudi Arabia in the news for a while. Majority of
the elites are no longerr Muslims.. Crown Prince MBS doesn't really care about islam. He's poised to opening Saudi Arabia to the world just like Dubai was opened to the world.

Much like how Italy balances the sacredness of Vatican City with the liberal atmosphere of other cities, that's his vision for Saudi Arabia. Mecca would remain a revered holy site, while other cities in the kingdom would embrace western lifestyles, allowing alcohol, nightlife, LGBT acceptance, and even recreational drug use
That's why they're always at loggerheads with the more conservative Islamic Republic of Iran

Akpatan:
Dis kind advice fit kill any of em daughters.....

Although, educated and enlightened. The guy have always been a tactless speaker. Reason why his throne was taken away from him the other time. He's always too straightforward for his own good.
