There were/are many June 12 heroes. They did just well!

50,000 spectators? Is it for a Champions League final?

This is quite a big one.

The last three points are so correct!

You won't understand the pain unless you have been through that road lately. It is not worthy of being called a road. Just call it a ditch.

He missed a golden opportunity to return the nation to democratic rule. He had no reason whatsoever to annul the people's will.

In his deepest heart, he probably regrets the annulment himself. A very baseless reason to cancel the result. Were there no tribunals for addressing such issues?

A bucket of water to stop an inferno? The man in the video is a funny man. But, on the other hand, he did his little.

Hate him or like him, he has the aura that attracts men.

Wealth wastes when men misplace their priority.

When you get to schools that take admission seriously, you will realise that the 40% pass mark you are celebrating won't give you the opportunity for any screening. You will be wise in the long run.

The petty things I read about Imo sometimes make me wonder if the state is ready for serious governance.

In order words, 40% is a pass mark.

We are not ready for serious business in the education sector. We will remain (gi)ANT of Africa for long.

Immortalisation!

Some good measure of sportsmanship displayed here. Leaders are always different from rulers. Dogara played this well.

This picture shows that the legislature has been pocketed!

It is our hope that the youths will show the elders what vibrant leadership is.

Experience may be lacking but they can learn the rope.

Time to tell yourselves some truth.

He's got the experience as a Minority and Majority leader. These years of experience count. He should be a Speaker with some distinction.

So, it's Gbaja!

EXAM SUCCESS: THE WAY TO GO
IT BEGINS WITH YOU
The decision to pass is the first and major task to execute. It begins with you. You must be ready to excel if you must excel. The truth is that a lot of students are not ready to pay the price of exam success.
SERIOUSNESS IN SCHOOL AND AT HOME
“No tangible achievement can be made with an unserious mindset.”
You need to change your mindset to that of a student that is ready to excel, you need to become serious with your studies in school. To do this, you will find the following steps helpful:
Attentiveness and note-taking habits.
You need to get good note books. Most serious people take down notes when classes are ongoing, and they keep good notes too. Get and keep good notebooks if you are really serious about doing real business, academically.
You also have to be attentive in classes. Get virtually everything the teacher communicates to you during the lecture. Jot down important points. As much as possible, ensure you don’t miss classes.
Change friends if need be.
You may need to change frineds. Initially, they will think you will soon “backslide” and then come back to them. However, if you stick to your guns, they will move away. It is either you limit your association with them or you disassociate from them totally. Some of them are around you to kill your seriousness while some are around to encourage you.
Gather the needed Academic Resources/ Materials.
Your school notes are not enough. You need to get the relevant textbooks for your studies. Textbooks provide more information and illustrations. Teachers/lecturers are not magicians. They prepare the notes they give you in the class using textbooks too. So dear, you also need to go to the source of what they churn out to you in class - textbooks!
Develop a strong personal study habit
You need to come to the realization that your primary job as a student is to study - adding to knowledge daily. The textbooks you bought are not for decoration. You need to build a serious study life; you need to study hard.
STUDY PATTERN
Your study pattern has to be well planned. How do you do this?
Read ahead
Start reading even before the lecture starts. While reading ahead, some details may not be clear to you. That is why you don’t have to miss classes. Those unclear concepts will be made simplified and clarified by the teacher. Ask questions.
Read as you are taught
Don’t pile up your notes. Study them as you are taught in the class. The rush of reading a topic for the first time when examination is already close would be avoided if you study ahead.
c) Have a structured reading pattern
Have a definite but flexible pattern on reading. Develop a style that will be suitable for you depending on your environment. Just ensure you spend quality time reading daily and consistently.
Read extensively
Studying only your textbooks is not sufficient to build you into a complete student. A student learns anything beneficial that would add to his knowledge bank and make him better. You can never learn too much.
Attending coaching centres
This is recommended. You should go to a coaching centre for serious academic work and not Special Preparatory Centres where they teach and prepare students for examination malpractice.
There are some useful tips on how to get the best from coaching centres.
a) Enrol early
Register for the coaching on time. Start the preparation early.
Take the coaching as a school
Take your coaching centre as serious as you take your school. So, whatever you are taught at the coaching centres should be taken as seriously as those you’ve been taught in school.
b) Stop!
Self-work is advised too. Since the early bird catches the worm and having enrolled early for the coaching, it is expected that you should have covered nearly all the topics in your subjects. Stop to read.
LEAVE NO STONE UNTOUCHED
In the course of your extensive and intensive reading/preparation for your exam, you will come across some topics or even subjects that appear difficult to understand. They only appear difficult but in the actual sense, they are not. If you dodge them, be sure you will probably meet them again at the higher level – maybe in the University. So, face them now.
PLAY AND PRAY
Play is an important part of the learning process. Play will liberate your mind, as well as lighten you up. Find time to play too. It will relieve you of stress. The secret is that you should play hard but work harder. This does not mean you spend four hours on a play and six hours on work. Balance your equation well.
Then, ensure you pray always too about your academics. This is very important since whatever God has a hand in does not fail. Prayers should not be said at your own convenience. Keep praying and praying before, during and after your exams for wisdom and understanding. Pray as though you’ve not studied, and study as though you’ve not prayed at all!
In summary, make your study – STUDY. That is, make it:
Serious: Study with all seriousness.
Timely: Study at the right time and place.
Unending: Study in an unending manner, relentlessly.
Desirous: Study with a willing and enthusiastic disposition; ready to learn.
Yielding: Study; yield yourself to what you learn.

Thanks for this

MosakuAW:

I agree less with the FTC method.

If you follow someone, and the icon display new message, before you get to the topic other followers are already there too.

I think the best method for FTC is to click on 'New' untop of ur screen beside Recent. Make sure you remain there and refresh every seconds. Try to identify topic that can make front page, click on it to book space. After booking space, you can come back to read the topic and then make comments.

Nothing special about FTC because there is no reward for it.

Some FTC give nonsense comments at times.

How I Got The Job

In late November 2016, I was on a public bus enroute to Ibadan. Seated in the front, I realized that the passenger beside me was editing the manuscript of a book. Somehow, I saw something that wasn’t correct in the manuscript with him so I pointed it out to him. We got talking. Bolaji turned out to be an expert in the use of information and geospatial technologies in the real estate industry.
We had a long discussion throughout the journey. Bolaji’s work has taken him to a couple of African countries. He advised me on how to maximise the use of my social media platforms. I told him about how I have edited books in the past for people. I equally told him about my published works in the dailies. I shared my last published work in the Guardian newspaper with him. We exchanged contacts too. As we parted ways in Ibadan, he told me we would still have need to work together.

Fast forward to January 2017. We met again and this time too, we were to journey in the bus from TBS to Ikorodu. He told me of how he had contacted an editor to edit his manuscript for him but the editor didn’t reply the e-mail he sent her until after nearly two months. He lost interest in giving her the job therefore. According to him, no one else came to his mind for the editing job but me.
He sent me the manuscript and I had access to it on Monday, January 30th. I told him I would send the completed work on or before February 13th, that is, in two weeks’ time. To cut the story short, I did a thorough editing and on the 9th day which was less than the 14-day deadline, I sent the completed work of 129 pages to him.

The question is: How do you make yourself one that provides solutions to problems?

1. Learn a skill!

It is amazing that people complain of lack of job when they don’t care to equip themselves with any skill at all. Money is earned when value is added. It is important to possess, at least, a skill in order to be relevant. My ability to edit manuscripts correctly is as a result of learning and giving attention to details. I didn’t study English Language but I just make sure I learn the right thing. During my postgraduate studies, my thesis supervisor was a very thorough lecturer. He would spot the minutest error in my research work. I wasn’t just correcting my work as he marked them out, I made sure I got the message he was passing across by using his red pen on my work! To get that job, you should be equipping yourself with needed skills. You just need to learn.

2. Sell your skill; serve with it

You need to tell people what you are capable of doing. You don’t learn a skill only to keep it in your mind. When the opportunity arises, sell your skill to people. A perfect example of such opportunity was when I saw Bolaji editing his own work. I told him I do that well.
Then, you may also be ready to serve your skill to others freely. In the past, I have had to serve my skill freely to others. I had edited three manuscripts for different authors without charging a dime. This is volunteer services to others. The essence of volunteer service is to give you the opportunity for you to horn your skill and to build your profile. Serve your skill freely to others in a dish. It will be of good help to you.

3. Deliver on your job

When you get a paid assignment, you need to be spotless in your delivery of service. Assess the job carefully from the start and give a realistic deadline for the completion of the task. Provide regular updates to your client and ensure you amaze your client with a fantastic service. He will serve as your advert means. He will tell others about you and with this, you are in for another task soon. Just deliver!
How did I finish Bolaji’s job even before the deadline and despite my regular work?
I spend an average of two to three hours to and fro work daily on the convenient BRT bus. I used this time to finish up this task. Having set a deadline, I ensured I worked within this journey time to complete it. This wasn’t enough. The need to be excellent and not slothful in business was a driving force. When I told my client I had just 9 pages left to edit 9 days after I started the work, he said I was a superman. But I just knew I was doing a normal thing. You can make excellence a normal thing.
I believe this piece has taught you something valuable.

Thank you.
