Family / Nice Names For 21st Century Nigerian Children? by toby2all(m): 12:42am On Apr 30, 2013
While we are expected to give our children traditional or native names. It is important to give them names with positive meanings/interpretation and possibly sounding nice ąπ∂ not too long. Any suggestions? Note: it can be of any Nigerian tribe and possibly with their meanings attached.

Religion / Re: If Someone Slaps You Would You Turn The Other Cheek. by toby2all(m): 6:29pm On Apr 21, 2013
Christ said so but He didn't imply its literal meaning. If not, why didn't He retaliate when He was slapped before being crucified? Think about this...

@Akpangbon that is correct.

Education / How To Make That Great Presentation Or Project Defence (public Speaking) by toby2all(m): 8:49pm On Apr 20, 2013
[center]HOW TO MAKE THE BEST
PRESENTATION YOU EVER DREAMED OF:[/center]
In life, public speaking is something you encounter from time to time but
many always avoid it. It could be while making an announcement, a debate, a
presentation or even defending your seminar/project research. This guide
anyway focuses on the last three (the purely academic ones). It could get really
embarrassing out there when you are alone and facing a crowd (probably large)
but with the help of the knowledge in this guide, apt preparation and adequate
confidence you can make something great out of your presentation. Remember
that you are not going to perform very well if you begin to sweat, tremble, or
shake and even stutter out of fear.
[img][/img]
The steps: BEFORE SPEAKING

1. Research your topic thoroughly in-depth: Make detailed and extensive
notes and answer questions that you encounter during the research.
2. Arrange your findings: Decide which information is necessary, and cut
off irrelevant points. (A highlighter pen may be of good use here).
3. Make an outline: Start rough and general (brainstorm), then get
specific and to the point.
4. Get used to your topic, and then write down the whole speech as if it
were an essay. Learn the content of the essay well.
5. Write down your presentation steps in order: i.e. what you will say and
when you will say it. These should be key points in your outline (to
keep you on topic) and details and statistics (that would be too
difficult to remember e.g. dates, figures etc).
6. Practice your speech aloud several times alone several times alone
until you are confident with it: It doesn't have to be identical to your
essay in wording, but try to keep the content the same. Just practice,
practice, and practice your speech until it feels natural
7. Practice in front of the mirror if you can't find anyone else or try
giving the speech to things around your room. A teddy-bear, a vase, or
even the T.V. will be fine.
8. Choose what visual aids (if any) you will use to enhance your
presentation if necessary.
9. Practice in the room or venue where you will be speaking, if possible.
Knowing the territory, and testing out how loud you must be in order
to be heard is an advantage.
10. Once you have learned it well, practice your presentation in front of
family members and/or friends. They can give you support, feedback,
and help make you comfortable with speaking in front of people.
11. Take slow, deep breaths before your speech.
12. Wear a favourite piece of clothing (something smart and possibly
relating to your topic) but don’t overdress.
13. Before you speak, do a "hokey pokey" in the privacy of a bathroom
and shake out your hands too. This will loosen you up. Vocal exercises
that can help the voice are good, as well.
14. Eat a healthy meal before your speech, but not too much. If you
already feel nervous, having a full-to-bursting stomach is not good.
Drink plenty of water the day before as well.
15. Get a good night’s sleep

WHILE SPEAKING

16. If possible, never hold a piece of plain paper in your hand while
speaking. It will flutter with every tiny movement and exaggerate all
your shakes. If you need notes, write them on index cards. And don’t
act as if you’re a news broadcaster. Look at points in the card just to
remember them. Don’t read your audience a long boring essay.
17. Always speak in a loud, clear voice but don’t shout.
18. Try to look at your audience, not the floor or the desk in front of you.
If it makes you uncomfortable to make eye contact, look at people's
foreheads. Find a focal point (or several) in the room just above the
audience’s heads. Instead of staring into many pairs of eyes, look at
their hair. Focus on people's foreheads. It will appear as if you're
making eye contact. This way, you will not have to stare into critical
eyes, if there are any.
[img][/img]
19. If you are really nervous take a small paperclip up on stage (or in
class) bending it will help!
20. Find several other people in the audience that appeal to you and
"speak" to them. If they can give you a thumbs-up, or an encouraging
smile, it can help unimaginably.
21. Be confident! You know more about your topic than the other people
in your class, so be proud of what you have to tell them and enjoy
yourself.
22. If you're presenting in a class with other students, then try to go first.
You should get a better grade, because your speech is the base for all
other speeches and if you build the confidence to go first you should
or you are not confident--or if you're terrified--ask your teacher
beforehand if you can go first or second. Ask immediately for going
"as soon as possible" so you can get it done before you worry too
much (note this works if you stay calm and breathe naturally).
23. When you are speaking and get nervous just focus on anything but the
people. Look at a wall clock or something else and focus on it while
alternating it with other objects. Look around occasionally or else you
look like you are an unmoving picture with a mouth.
24. Don't look down at your feet! Looking at your feet shows that you
don't feel confident and makes people want to just go to sleep. Your
feet aren't that pretty.
25. Practice standing still, not rocking back and forth, bouncing, etcetera
but If you are allowed to move around during the speech, plan out
where you will walk just to ease tension. Choreography will help take
your mind off the audience. If you will move during the speech, check
out anything that might make you trip.
26. While you're up there, remember: everyone watching you is so
nervous about their own presentations, they're probably not paying all
that much attention to you!
27. Keep in mind that you will stand out more if you stutter and use "um"s
in every sentence than if you were to give a speech perfectly and
without speech fright. Don't be afraid that people will think your
speech is horrible, and realize that probably a lot of other people in
your class, or school, etc, have nervousness when giving a speech.

Note: Pray well before you present. Anything can happen. And finally,
goodluck!
