When I hear that former football guys gone broke.. I laugh... Some civil servants enjoy like after service than most footballers, those guys play for highest 20years... And retire... If they never invest well, then they get broke after retirement

no civil servant dey enjoy the ones that enjoy steal or end up forming allies with politicians. Footballers are even better than civil servants... Civil servants abi civil slaves... Most footballers that go broke waste their teens and adulthood smoking, clubbing, wrong relationship, depression... Mostly the ones with feeble minds. Football is also a job... If you play in leagues where you earn peanuts if you do not invest well u will suffer. People like odion ighalo can never go broke

I seriously dont understand your write-up. Is it that you find it difficult to construct words well? Am not mocking you. But i find it crazy to relate to your voice. Because of this, i can't give you a response.
Thanks.

well, I find it hard to keep explaining in details why the system is a failure. I don't know why in this age of civilization people are still eager to get a degree. We have passed that era if you don't know you are on your own. Basically, everything is on the internet for us to consume. We can virtually learn farming and other skills via the web. I can see you love the rat race continue in your delusion. Time will tell. The system you such much sacrifice your energy for will never save you

Kemi Badenoch, an ajebota born with a silver spoon in her mouth and lived on the island, whose dad is a doctor and mum a university professor, and who is a cousin of Former Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, went to UK and was telling them she lived in poverty in a rough neigbourhood, walked several miles to get water, and lizards where coming out of the taps.

In another interview with her white masters, she said she was hearing gun shots from armed robbers every night from her house, as they harassed her neighbours and she was always hiding under the bed ''wondering if her house would be next''.

Evil, lying witch.

Just to gain power in a foreign land, you denigrate and besmirch your fatherland.

I did not understand dis ur post.

I asked you a simple question. How will the child get his primary and secondary school certificate if he is taught at home?

you are still blinded by the system if you are keen on the certicificate child should be enrolled into jelosimi school. I have seen kids pay another school and the child writes exam and gets degree. Primary certificate is useless

Lyrics269:
U get ear problem. Na people like you think Kizz Daniel and Seyi Vibes need Grammy

Kizz Daniel win Grammy with is low quality music. His music has relatively low frequency that is why once listened after 3 weeks song sounds like trash. His music only appeals kids in secondary school and university. As for seyi vibez that one make I keep quiet

sleeknaija:
I no c anything special in what this lady (Tems) sings recently.

from my own assessment based on artists with vocals have listened to in the past Mary J Blige Mariah Carey Tiwa savage Brandy Lauryn hill Celine Dion Taylor swift Whitney houston Diana rose Shania twain ... Even though she is leaning towards american style that is why I mentioned those ones. Tems is an average singer she is not world class. They can give it her most of the singers we have now are utter garbage

DrTee1:
I may be bad at Music, but what are the specific criteria used to decide what is the best African Music by this American/European organisation?

Why is it described as the greatest Music award when the criteria are American/English/Euro-centric?

I love music, yes, and appreciate the acknowledgement that African Music is beginning to get in the global space, but I am not sure we come to the table as equals, if we aren't speaking English on the music or producing music in a language largely understood by the West, we may not get a look-in for a Grammy.

I stand to be corrected.

Shouldn't there be a World Music Award or something?

you have to be initiated simple no criteria. It is a paid award. They choose their choice based on preference not who deserves it

Yampotatocarrot:
Hmmm, I agree with most of the things you wrote, but for the sake of learning, can you post some PRACTICAL things you think schools can do to change this?

The educational system needs to be reviewed I will make it short. Firstly, we must develop the sensorimotor stage of a child. A child shouldn't start writing at early age. Other manipulative skills should be worked on swimming, painting, grabbing, knitting. When they get older we need to divide the classroom into blackboard and practical classes where a child can choose any vocation of his choice building circuit, building, carpentry, tailoring, anything that involves the use of hands and feet even games as well chess, scrabble or any board games, football, golf, basketball, bat/racket games. All assignments should be dissolved infact any teacher giving homework in this modern day is a big fool. What is better is project based assignment. There should be a time where students to teach themselves. Then the most important public speaking. Una see the ideas of exposing a child to tablets and screen is very stupid. A child should start using a laptop at age 13. 1-12 they should be working on exercising their brain. Critical thinking games and IQ games should be encouraged to boost their maths skills. Una see these WAEC and NECO they should be scrapped complete garbage is what we are doing in school. Am teacher with TRCN and other qualifications I studied B.sc(Ed) biology so I know what we are doing is crap. Even the greatest philosophers will be ashamed with what we are doing know if they are alive. Aristotle, plato, Socrates will be so gutted with the rubbish we are doing now. Maria Montessori will even be crying

Kobojunkie:
1. By the time they legally have you charged and prosecuted, and make certain you rot in jail for as long as is possible, you will never again think in your life to raise your hands against another human being, ever!

2. That speaks volumes of these delusions you continue to carry along with you.

3. In almost the entire country of the U.S. not a single student was flogged in the schools over the last 30 years. The vast majority of them who are now adults are intelligent, hardworking, law-abiding members of the public who do not take their rights and the law for granted.

Can you say the same of all of those who were flogged in Nigerian school systems over the same period?

4. Nigerian army trainees are constantly abused by their supervising officers as well as those above them. Can you in any way compare the zeal of the average Nigerian army trainee to that of, say an American Army trainee who is subjected mostly to the legal training required for all army trainees?

5. Overpamper? What Overpampering manual do you quote from abeg? When did buying children ice cream amount to overpampering them? Where does it say so in the Overpampering manual you keep quoting from?

Your cup of bullsheet reasoning runneth over... that much is clear from this disconnected retort of yours. 😁

there is no point explaining anything to you. Keep living in denial. Raise your kid without the rod. I pray you secure their future well. I know you are well to do from the way you speak. That is the reason you feel a child should be raised with silver spoon. We are growing a society of weakling and these children will suffer if they encounter problem in future because to be a survivalist you must have faced a lot. Do you know aside flogging. Failure in an examination also lead to depression. We should be building strong minds not weaklings.

Love800:
How will the child get his o'level and ssce certificates? Or will you design it for him?

by the way where the jobs the useless #50-300k jobs in Nigeria that can barely feed you same goes for abroad their is better cuz you wont owe and at the same time you wont grow they don't need it the best form of learning is student-centered certificates are for validation to seek approval by the government. I learnt most of tye things I know myself when I was in school I was using three separates textbooks for physics and Biology. I used nelson and parker, Abbot, PN Okeke. I learnt some stuffs myself when I got to SS2 my physics teacher left and the school brought in an incompetent HND teacher who had not idea of what she is teaching. Break free we do not need the government to survive. A child can learn on their own.

Kobojunkie:
1. Nigerian educational system is raising obedient slaves? Many foreign companies in Nigeria would rather hire foreigners than Nigerians in Nigeria. You know why? Because the system as it is DOES NOT raise what you refer to as obedient slaves in any way. Rather, it continues to raise inadequate and incompetent individuals who don't even understand or know to follow rules. Let's be realistic in our assessment of reality abeg!

I saw a video some days ago made by Isaac Fayose on Twitter, I think. He said he opened an Amala restaurant some time ago and put in all he could to make the place work but in just a matter of months, the joint was reduced to nothing by his Nigerian employees. These are people who would have had for themselves good employment, steady income, and even a place to grow had the business gone on to do well, but their general inability to critically reason as humans ought to have led them to consume the business instead. These are people raised and nurtured in Nigeria by your many traditions and your spare-the-rod-and-spoil-the-child system of training. After Fayose was done, he warned that his case was the norm and not the exception, in case someone attempted to write it off as something that only happened to a minority in Nigeria.

2. This much is clear from your responses. You are a typical Nigerian in your handling of information. You twist assumptions in such as way as to make them seem like facts all so you can continue to propagate what are inane ideas.

I was raised in Nigeria by parents who initially believed in the spare-the-rod-and-spoil-the-child system of training until they no longer did. Throughout all of my childhood, I suffered from depression and I even knew of some in the small community I was raised in who more than likely committed suicide from depression even though the vast majority of people around would rather believe Abiku and spirits were to blame for those deaths. Many of the deaths were of people who were raised according to the same system that my parents initially raised me with. The flogging and harsh punishment probably led some to eventually take their lives too... who knows. But what I do know is that there was no Abiku among them—sickle-cell-ers were rarely caned— and most of the dead didn't even have powers to commune with spirits to begin with. But many of them were said to have gone to bed, never to wake up again; at least that is the story that the public was fed of those deaths in that small community of Ikorodu where I grew up. Some of them were in the same school as I was at the time. We are talking the 80s and 90s here, pal!

You pretend that depression is something new in Nigeria so that you can claim it is to be blamed on lack of discipline. What you instead reveal by that is the IQ level you happen to be working with. Not so great at all!

3. I can see that you inhale your own bullsheet and you think yourself wise in your delusions... I will leave you to it!

alright you have right to your own opinion. If you feel that is what works for you it is fine. I just told you my own point. To startwith, canning a child does not kill a child. If a child is suffering from anaemia or shortage of RBCs it is better for the parents to homeschool them. I have taught a lot of students suffering from sickle cell anaemia they are reserved and hardly do the wtongs things what am I even saying a child with low oxy-haemoglobin go get energy to disobey a teacher. I completely understand you are so engrossed with the western civilization and system, you think that will ever work in a Nigerian system dey play. Flogging a child excessively is different from spanking a child that does stupid things repetitively. Let me ask you a question you told a child not write on the margin, after correcting the child countless number of times, he still continued making the same mistake. It seems you have not taught some disobedient and hyperactive children who will never listen. This you method will work abroad because they do not care. A indgiene in the UK called a Nigerian teacher a monkey in front of his mates, the Nigerian teacher went to lay his complaints to the principal of the school. Nothing was done. My brother please come back to reality and stop comparing us with the west. Nigerians are not there yet. I agree with you on Nigerian graduates not critical thinkers they hardly bring nothing to the table. This is due to the rigorous learning system that is the cause. A child learn from 7-5pm daily and they will still pack bond assignments and subject assignments for a child to bring the next day. Children are nature beings, but we stopped them from connecting with nature that is why most end up not discovering themselves. We have turned our students and pupils to obedient servants and you think they will able to think on their own when they grow up ... This is classical conditioning not education... We have set their brains to receive stimulus that turn them obedient minions. Once a bell is rang they quickly adjust for the next class. These days children even find it hard to play during break they sit in class and eat like they are in a squid game. This is not due to flogging. Flogging if abused lead to depression. My own is flogging should not be withdrawn totally from the school system it is very important. A good form of negative reinforcement (Operant Conditioning)

If you are Opportuned to teach in a school of Wizkid, Davido, Tiwa Savage, etc children and they insult you,
will you really be able to discipline them in a Pattern you would want?

You will be Forced to look for Softer styles of Discipline.

That's is the Point KoboJunkie is trying to make.

no problem, sir am a teacher and a trained one I worked personally with a retired professor of philosophy of education. He taught me study technology coined by one the compass people Lord Ron Hubbard . I learnt a lot from him during my days as an undergraduate and will always appreciate him till this day. I would have flogged Tiwa savage and davido as a teacher if they are spoilt. I go beat shege banza comot their body. And I know I will resign. Because am like Jose mourinho in the workspace I have never worked more than 2 years in an establishment. I get bored easily. No matter how much am paid. I always leave. Back to the point, laissez - faire approach to discipline has never worked in education you can ask anyone who is an educationist. Works for a short while when it backfires you will lose your respect and pedigree as a teacher. We were beaten in school did we die. We shouldn't bring western culture into our African culture. Traditional education which is a form of informal education it is important you flog and punish a child who defiant and stubborn. Make we stop this trend of spare the rod. This spoilt brat needs to be dealt with. Most of their parents don't give them the required basic home training. There is nothing like softer discipline. Even the form of softer discipline which B.F skinner is also not a soft discipline and it doesn't work on Nigerian students. Even in military settings they put the trainees under unfavorable conditions in order to get the best out of them. But some wings here want us us overpamper children by buying ice cream for them when they call me a stupid teacher

Kobojunkie:
I don't think you even see what is right in front of your eyes all this while.

Using the rod is why Nigeria as a country is where it is today with over 150 million adults afraid to stand up against the barely 20,000 ruining their lives and destroying the future of their children. You have millions on whom this so-called rod was used who turned out wicked incompetent individuals incapable of running their communities and society at the local, state, and even national levels. An entire nation of over 200 million people without the critical, emotional, and social intelligence necessary to capably lead and rule over themselves...this is the result of all your "Spare the rod and spoil the child" campaigns from the time of your ancestors. Yet you are blindly suggesting the same even after all of this?

2. And what should happen when there are no parents to teach kids? The kids should be allowed to freely roam without Education? Please cut the bull!

3. But you have not discussed anything about the progress of education. I am not a teacher by profession but I regularly teach kids without needing to lift even a finger against them. I do this every day. The priority is to raise mentally stable, socially and emotionally intelligent children who understand how to abide by the law in whatever it is they do and pursue. How many of those have been raised in your Nigerian schools, for example?

alright, you want me to give solutions to education in a country that doesn't value opinions from people like me. I know you are fine with the matrix. We are raising kids to be obedient slaves and tools for the rat race, most of these children can't do things on their own they don't know anything about critical thinking, they can't think outside the box they locked them with principles and laws they do not need to know. You are making a lot of sense literally. But you have not seen the problem from my point of view. I am not forcing you to agree. I have been teaching professionally for 9 years with my TRCN and B.ed. I did a lot of research on curriculum planning and alternative resources to learning. You made mention of emotional intelligence which is very essential in children lives. You can't have emotional intelligent children if they do not learn to accept criticism in the cruel way. These days you correct a child by the rod you are violating his human rights, you correct a child verbally you are abusive. You encourage a child you are manipulative. That's why children these days are prone to killing themselves out depression that never existed but they lack emotional intelligence. I teach biology as a subject and I try my possible best to relate my subject with the real world. I can body tell 3/4 of what is learnt in school is unecessary. We have left things like psychology of the mind, ignored psychomotor development, importance of values... But we want our wards and children to be perfect. I always let my students know mistake is acceptable it becomes a problem when it is becomes repetitive. I do not quickly use the rod. I would have warned a child 3 times if repeated after that I will flog I do not care if you Tinubu' daughter. That is me. Money is not me, but my integrity and values is my strength.
Countries like china that are not wiser theoretically are doing well than us because they communicated with nature more than we do. How many times do we bask in the sun. This is part of the things that boost pur cognitive memory. We know have more dumb children than we do in the past because of negligence. Our children are not eating right and locked in 4-walls for close 250 days in a calendar year. Until you realize school is an indoctrination and prison you can never see sense in my statement

Kobojunkie:
1. Your fellow teacher had absolutely no right to ASSAULT a child. You assault any child— except for case of self-defense—, you should be jailed

2. Teaching is not for everyone. Only those with the right temperament, and emotional and social intelligence levels should be allowed to teach abeg!

that's why we have generation of weaklings spare the rod and spoil the child. A child does a wrong thing and we should leave the child to rot. I think schools should be closed down and parents should teach their children themselves. I am tired discussing the progress of education with people who are hellbent on western culture and discipline on how to raise a child. That is why we have children abroad who know dictate to parents that they want their gender reassigned at tender ages. You are not a teacher so you would know how naive and uncultured these gen alphas are. Some lack common basic home training and you expect the to be tolerated everywhere. The solution is clear. Parents should home school their chikdren. We will always survive regardless if one road is broken there is always another way out.

mikkyangel3:
Na mumu dey send their children to Nigerian schools.

Get their syllabus, get Starlink,

Home school your kids.

If you leave your children's education to half-baked, poorly-paid, frustrated Nigerian teachers?

Oyo is your casel.

not all teachers are half-baked some of us developed ourselves and we value our integrity. I find homeschooling a positive way helping kids in this modern day. I think the traditional teaching method is frustrating. But I am educationist. Are we really teaching these students or indoctrinating them with useless ideas they won't need. I have learnt a lot after learning from a group called revival of wisdom. I think so far a child is able to comprehend and do basic summation and difference the rest is bullshiiit

Beremx:
The experience I had teaching primary five spoilt brats whose parents are rich, I vowed never to teach in a school again. Imagine kids of 10 years threatening their teachers with police arrest? The proprietress of the school pampers the kids and see no fault in them.

I weak

private school in Lagos when a fellow teacher who does lesson for a child because I beat a boy who was negligent and spoilt the stupid teachers in that school called me to apologize to the child. After forcing me and the teachers started acting weird had to use one teacher's phone I was close with who was his former class teacher to state the reason why I beat the child in short I had to apologize after massive pressure what do I know then I thought money was everything. The boy saw me the following day and told me I told my parents I have forgiven you. I shock. I happy I left there. Teaching is worse than being a cleaner imagine a graduate treated like mopstick. I faced a lot of disgusting things as class teacher in Lagos. When I see parents of wards I see them like dog shiits... I currently teach in another school but I have vowed never to relate with any parent. Sometimes I no dey greet them. Useless bunch of millennial parents my generation is the worst parents have seen the and Gen X

Many people here don't understand true penmanship in hip hop.


If u cannot mention Nas, rakim, kool G rap, Big pun, GZA, scarface,kurrupt, ghostface, Raekwon, gangstarr, etc then u bugging.

2nd tier... U have the likes of AZ, jay Z, beanie Seagal, Game, biggie, pac, mos def, krs1, etc

I see people mentioning Eminem.

Eminem's pen game isn't a top 20 let's be honest.

He's a brutal rapper but his content is abysmal.

Nas is still the greatest lyricist of all time of any genre.

If u wanna argue, drop ur best rappers verse and I'll drop a Nas line or verse to trample yours.

as u mention rakim and scarface and big pun only say baba die early I know say u sabi even jadakiss better pass snoop Dogg

No rakim and DMX na stupid list he make other notable mentions would have been slim shady, nas. Wack list by snoop... To me Rakim is number one, 2PAC and biggie smalls not bad. Snoop Dogg only knows how to rap about women and sex nothing meaningful

I think people need to be very careful with pet animals these days especially when they are not well fed, the earth frequency is upped as we speak. These animals are becoming violent and do not even care if you are their owner a pet cat scratched a boy causing him severe injuries a dog recently injured a toddler. If it is possible let send these animals to the wild where they belong. Am done any pet I see Noe misbehave I go kill am

MadamVanessa:




I knew Donald Trump was coasting smoothly to victory the day Democrats chose Kamala to run with Trump. Even if It was Biden, Trump would've beaten Biden to Pulp in the poll. There was no contender at all with Trump. I don't know who deceived myopic Nigerians that Kamala is going to the white house. Not in this life, not even in the next life.


Kamala was so clueless. Instead of campaigning, he was dishing out propaganda, calling Trump names and all that,it was becoming boring. Meanwhile, Trump was campaigning everywhere with so much energy and vigour, campaign on Twitter space, on streets, restaurant and eateries, go to podcasts. Infact man reduced himself to nothing, granting interviews left right and centre and don't forget this is a former president of America we're talking about. In the other hand, Kamala cum gay apologist and abortionist was so full of herself, holding to the fact that the current administration she's part of performed woefully. What Trump handover to Joe Biden was destroyed completely hence America needs Trump back to come and fix the mess of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

lol the mumu kamala dey pack retired oloshos come her campaign Meagan the horse, Taylor switch, beydunce, slim fat shady, cardi B the pole dancer and some ex porn stars. Trump was busy working with musk and thiel together with some media personality like tucker Carlson and candace Owens and his son Baron doing a lot of media publicity on tiktok especially and twitter. They the conspiracy theorists also made sure kamala lost... Those guys made trump win they convinced a lot of people.

Toddlers usually regress a little bit when a new baby comes in and peeing on themselves is a common trait. It's been theorised that it's a need for attention/ confusion about the changes among other things but they outgrow it pretty quickly.

Just reinforce her potty training and she'll be okay.

You said she is smart and you are not aware she is showing signs of juvenile ADHD...
