Education / What Is Your Contribution To The World? by ufpeace(m): 6:21pm On Aug 27, 2020
You may agree with me, to make contribution to your world is to make impact to the society you live. I once read a quote that resonates with me. The underlying message of the quote is , “a birthday should not just be the celebration of the day you were born; rather, it should be more of the celebration of the positive contribution or donation you have made to lives”. And I totally concur to this view. Also with the various views in Quora that state how we can make impact in our society; “Contributing to society, usually means doing something cooperative or altruistic for the benefit of your community or society at large”.
Don’t misconstrue the message here. This is not to say that you should not be grateful to God for every opportunity to see a new-year. Of course, we need to be happy and appreciate God for the gift of life. The point here however is, it is more rewarding and fulfilling to celebrate, knowing that you have actually made a reasonable donation in the lives of others in the course of your just concluded year.
We must daily pray for duration on earth; but at the same time, we must bear in mind that duration without a reasonable positive donation to lives is a great waste of potential. Before I tell you what your contribution to the world is, let me first mention what contribution is not.


What Contribution Is Not To Your World
Your contribution to the earth is not the billion dollars in your account; it is not the numbers of houses or cars you have, fleet of academic or professional qualifications you have bagged, number of children or wives you have, the top position you occupy in various organizations and also the chains of business empires you control all over the globe, etc.
If none of these is a donation, what then it is? Read on…

Show Love By Making Impact
The world is full of countless number of people seeking for solution to one problem or the other. Mother Teresa once said, “There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread, but there are many more dying for a little love.” Many are living in lack and hunger, and they are clamouring to have their needs met and hunger satisfied. Majority are unhappy, heart-broken and depressed for lack of purpose (not knowing why they exist on earth), and for being victims of rejections and disappointments. Many and many others are sick and are in need of relief. Great numbers of young people are living aimlessly having no plan for the future for lack of self-awareness and knowledge.
Having said all that, your donation to the earth therefore is the positive contribution you give to the world that makes it a better place. It is the positive impact or difference you make in the lives of others. It’s the legacy you leave for posterity for which you will be remembered.
For more emphasis, your donation to the world is the extent to which you reduce the darkness in which others are kept and help them see the path that leads to the release of their potential and the actualization of their God-given purpose. It is the degree to which you make the lives of others sweeter.

Material Possessions are tools
To be more explicit, material and intellectual possessions are good and nice, but they are not an end. Instead they are a means to an end. They are like tools required to accomplish a task – making a difference in the world. They are not what actually matter in the final or grand scheme of things. It is the value you add to lives (how many people you help to become happier and better) by using these things that really determine whether you have actually lived well or not. This is what I call your donation or contribution to your world.

Choose To Make A Difference Through Your Contribution
See the way Leo Rosten put it, “The purpose of life is not to be happy – but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you have lived at all.”
The first line in the above quote never mean the purpose of life is not to be happy. I believe what Rosten meant is that, even in the midst of challenges where you see no reason to be happy, choose to make a difference. In other words, never use your pain as an excuse to live without making a positive contribution to the world you live in. Got it, right?
And finally, as Mother Theresa advised: “Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, always start with the person nearest you.”
I hope this note motivates you to start making contribution to your world. Let me know your thought in the comment section, and to begin your step of impact, kindly share this with someone. Thanks and God bless you.

Your Contribution To The World Make You A Happy Better You
Today, strive to be a happy better version of yourself than you were yesterday; release your fullest potential and strive to live your best life.
Cheers to your happiness and best life.

With many businesses closed and physical distancing still encouraged, there isn’t much to try to together with your free time. But there’s one thing you’ll usually count on: the good outdoors.

Whether it’s an easy walk around your neighbourhood or a drive to the outskirts of town or a trek through the woods, connecting with nature is incredibly important for our mental health during this pandemic. Here are some reasons why we love being outside, especially after a long stay indoors.

Meditation-like benefits.

Appreciating Nature
Do you feel a touch more comfortable once you step outside? Reports suggest that the psychological, physiological, and attitudinal benefits from time spent in nature cannot be overemphasized. A step outside the confines of your home can clear your mind and take away you from repetition, negative thoughts, and stress. A great tip is to take your daily outings extra restorative by trying walking meditation.

Walking longer and at a faster pace further improves your chances at good heart health within the end of the day.

Nature’s Vitamin D
When you stay inside for days on end, you miss out on immune-supporting superstar vitamin D. This vitamin can be synthesized from sunlight. It is a crucial nutrient for your bones, blood cells, and system. Vitamin D and its benefits offer you quite enough reasons to snag a couple of minutes of sunshine. (Just confirm to stay taking your vitamin D supplements too!)

Unleash Your Creativity
If you’ve got employment that needs you to return up with exciting new ideas otherwise you just want to write down that award-winning screenplay you’ve dreamed of, an ingenious mind is important. Engaging with nature can boost your creativity by stoking your attention and helping you refocus on new details within the world. Next time you’ve got writer’s block, address the outside.

Learning to Love what’s around You
If there’s one thing we are learning from this pandemic, it’s that we are appreciating what’s truly important especially things that are have been under our noses for years. once you get outside, it can help you to discover a replacement sport you’ll be a master at or a place couple of blocks from your house that you simply never knew existed.

It’s so important to seek out some joy within the little things during this uncertain and anxious period. Make time in your day to step out, enjoy nature, and appreciate this beautiful planet we live on!

For a lot of people, the particular hour that they work out doesn’t make a difference. The primary concern is that they make time to do it. Be that as it may, “in a minority of people, lively exercise finishing two hours or closer to sleep time can effectively affect rest,” says Youngstedt. He includes that for demanding activity, the late evening may be the best time, permitting the body’s pulse and other imperative signs to come back to ordinary before bed. For continuous preparation (for a game, for example, a race), morning may be best, if just to guarantee you get the exercise in before the day gets excessively occupied.

On the off chance that you feel too amped up in the wake of exercising around evening time to rest, take a stab at moving your exercises to prior in the day. In the event that night is the main time you have access to work out, you can likewise attempt a more drawn out chill off and delicate extending meeting subsequent to working out. This will help let your body realize the time has come to slow down.

Which sort of activity is best for rest?
In most straightforward terms, the best sort of activity is the kind of activity you appreciate enough to stay with it and make it a customary piece of your everyday practice. “Rest advancing impacts have been found for both oxygen consuming activity and obstruction work out,” says Youngstedt.

At the end of the day, either walking or lifting loads can aid you in resting, as long as you do it reliably.

What amount of practice improves rest?
There is no right amount (and the sum will differ contingent upon components, for example, age and wellness level), however, it’s sharp to focus on around 150 minutes of moderate-force high-impact workout, (for example, lively strolling) each week, or around 30 minutes, five days every week. Also, you can focus on 75 minutes of exercise (running, cycling) every week, to get your pulse siphoning.

In the event that discovering 30 minutes in your calendar appears to be much, realize that it’s not just about the 30 minutes you spend in the exercise center that matters. Easily overlooked details you do throughout the day can include, from using the stairwell to strolling as opposed to driving. Attempt to spend fewer minutes sitting during the day. The less stationery you are, the better you’ll rest around evening time.

Education / I Wanted To Study Medicine But Jamb Decided Otherwise by ufpeace(m): 7:03pm On Jul 07, 2020
The Jamb examination is a must for every individual who wants to enter higher institution in Nigeria. Its overall score is 400 and individual higher institutions are responsible for deciding what the cut off mark may be.

Admission into higher institution is a hard battle to win in Nigeria, with numerous tales of students settling for unwanted courses, staying at home for over 7 years while they consistently try to gain admission. This week we will be interviewing teslim, a recent graduate of microbiology from the University of Ilorin on how his jamb experience was.

What Schools did you apply for in Jamb?

I applied for the university of Ilorin as the first choice and polytechnic Ibadan as the second choice.

What Made you choose the school you attended?

I picked the university of Ibadan in my first jamb but I was not admitted due to my young age or at least that was how I felt. The next year I picked Unibadan again, but I performed woefully , I scored 200 in jamb and 40 in post jamb. I decided to change my choice to the university of Ilorin the last time and I got lucky and was admitted.

What inspired you to choose your discipline or course of study?

My initial choice was medicine and surgery, my jamb score in unilorin was 213 and I was hopeful that I would be admitted for medicine. Little doubt started creeping in about my chances of getting admitted to study medicine due to the fact that I had stayed at home for years with my buttocks getting rusty from all the sitting over the years. Someone advised me to change my course to something else and I went to the café and started checking for suitable courses under science then I saw biochemistry, microbiology. I always excelled in biology from my secondary school and my highest scored subject in Jamb. I figured out since biology was in its name that it was probably a good course for me.

Did you attend any Jamb class?

No I didn’t attend any jamb class.

How many times did you write Jamb?

I wrote jamb 3 times.

What were your challenges in preparing for jamb examinations?

I would have to think a little bit on that one. I had written two previous jamb and my dad was strict when it came to reading and since I didn’t go to jamb classes I had to read. Because of poor light, I could only read for a maximum of 3 hours at night and as much as possible during the day. I had little access to books and libraries.

Where you convinced that your jamb score would scale you through?

I had confidence that I would scale through, the three jambs I wrote, I never scored less than 200 and I knew that the cut off mark for universities were 200. I was just never sure the course I would eventually settle for. I had always known that universities could give you any course they felt like.

What was your POST-UTME experience?

It was a very memorable one. I did it in unilorin, I left the two days before and arrived by 8pm. The next day I went to the exam venue to observe how the exam was conducted. I found out it was CBT , but that didn’t scare me because I had done CBT exams in the past. I mingled with undergraduates on that day and they provided me with past questions which I studied through the night and next day I took the exam and was successful.

How was the clearance like in your school?

It wasn’t really difficult or easy, I will rank it intermediate. The clearance persisted till our 300 level and it had to do with admission.

How did you feel on your first day in school?

I was elated because it was a day I had always looked forward to.

What is your advice to Jambites?

My advice to them is that if they want to go to school that are very competitive, they need to read very hard and pray, and leave the rest to God. I had mates that were disappointed with their first jamb result and decided to school abroad.

Education / Jamb Success Story From Juliet by ufpeace(m): 10:06pm On Jul 03, 2020
My name is Esiete Juliet and I am from Delta State. When I completed my Secondary School education, I was among those in my class who wanted to study medicine and become a doctor. But having a big score in JAMB is difficult, and gaining admission to study medicine is certainly not an easy feat.

I spent the first 2 years after secondary school applying for medicine in JAMB, but it seemed I wasn’t able to get in because the competition was fierce, so I had to choose a course with less competition.

I applied for Niger Delta University and Delta State University the next year, and I choose Biochemistry as my preferred course of study.

I applied for these universities because their cut-off mark was encouraging and because the distance to my home would really favour me.

Being fully aware that Jamb classes are very important, I enrolled for Jamb classes. I only attended the evening classes because I was working during that period, and I was paying for the classes singlehandedly.

When I finally wrote Jamb, I waited patiently for the result, and I was extremely glad when I saw 239 as my Jamb score. I became optimistic that this was going to be my year.

My post-utme experience was not bad, everything happened so fast. I didn’t really take much time since the exam was computer-based.

Finally, I gained admission to study Biochemistry at Delta State University abraka (Delsu). I was completely overjoyed and I started making preparation for my clearance.

On my first day as an admitted student, I felt like it was a whole new world, with new people and environment. I had to quickly learn to adapt and ask questions as I begin my online and physical clearance.

My advice to Jambites is that they should work very hard because nothing feels better than when you are a one-time Jambite, and they should always put God first in everything.

If you are a Delsu aspirant, you have to be serious and always read your books, because the academic calendar of the school is very fast.

We all have a success story. How interesting is yours? Are you looking for the right motivation while reading for Jamb? We are here for you and we’d love to share your Jamb story.

High Court Clears Obaseki For PDP Primary

A High Court sitting at Ekpoma has overturned the order given by the port-harcourt high court to exclude Governor Godwin Obaseki from contesting in the gubernatorial primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP).

According to the Court Order, the PDP and the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) should not exempt any of the cleared aspirants from contesting in the June 25th primary election.

This was after one of the aspirants, Omoregie Ogbeide Ihama filed for an injunction that led to a court order stopping Obaseki from contesting at the primary.

However, this order lifts the restriction and allows Obaseki to contest with other aspirants for the flag-bearer of the party.

Jobs/Vacancies / Virtual Jobs You Can Do During The Pandemic by ufpeace(m): 10:38am On Jun 24, 2020
Thinking about how technology has become a major part of our existence, it’s only right to make use of it as best as you can. More than ever, virtual jobs are on the rise largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic that shook the world. Since the pandemic has caused a major recline in physical dealings, what better time to take hold of technology and use its fullest potential than now?

If you are a student in Nigeria, this article is important for you. Why? Schools are on break, right? With virtual jobs, you can take advantage of the extra time you have, gain work experience, and make some money that would be useful for you now and when you resume. Of course, virtual jobs are not limited to students, anyone who has some extra time can do them. What’s more, your virtual job can also be your full time job. You could also take up more than one. Here is an outline of trending virtual jobs you can easily get into.

Online Teaching.
If you are good at imparting knowledge and maintaining the attention of children on screen, this is your time to shine! The pandemic has caused a lot of schools to close down temporarily. While some schools have taken to resuming classes online, some haven’t. This means that parents would be on the hunt to look for ways to keep their kids educated and engaged while they work. If you are in Nigeria, Prep Class is a good place to start.

Programming.
Needless to say, programming has become very lucrative. More and more brands are appearing online in the form of apps, websites, and the likes. Because of this, programmers are currently in high demand. On platforms like FreeCodeCamp and Codeacademy, you can learn all about different programming languages and what they can be used to do. It’s pretty interesting. Youtube is also a good source to find videos that would teach you how to code. I particularly like the channel Codecourse. I would advise that as a beginner, you start with a school like structure like FreeCodeCamp or Codeacademy, though. You’ll be better guided. In addition, innovators create tech programs to guide newbies into the world of technology. HNG Tech and SheCodeAfrica does a good job with this.

UI/UX Design
So, think of programmers like engineers and designers like architects. Both are super important to the tech industry right now. Designers understand users’ needs and wants in terms of aesthetics and online experience. If you have a good sense of aesthetics and psychology, this can be a promising field for you. As with programming, HNG Tech and SheCodeAfrica both have a space for designers. YouTube also has thousands of videos on UI/UX. I’ll recommend you start your design journey with Figma. They have a bunch of tutorial videos that would guide you on your journey to becoming a user-centric designer. Good luck �!

The Edo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress(APC) held its primary election on Monday, to decide its flagbearer for the September Gubernatorial elections.

Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu emerged as winner of the polls with 27,838 votes; defeating Pius Odubu, who came second with 3,776 votes; and Osaro Obaze who came third with 2,724 votes.

The election was held across the 192 wards of the 18 local government areas of the state, and was considered to be peaceful by journalists, and other election observers.

Governor Godwin Obaseki’s disqualification and eventual defection from the APC has created the pathway for Ize-Iyamu who won with a landslide.

Ize-Iyamu who won the polls did not forget to speak about Obaseki who recently left the party amidst internal disagreements. He appealed to him to return to the party, and referred to the issue as a family matter.

“I will like to appeal to him to return to the party. In every family, you have disagreements; let it not be said that it was this disagreement that pushed him out,” he said.

With Ize-Iyamu’s victory, he is to contest as the APC candidate for the next Governorship election with possibly Obaseki at the opposing end.

Sports / Burnley Fan Claims Responsibility For “white Lives Matter” Banner Last Night by ufpeace(m): 3:06pm On Jun 23, 2020
Burnley supporter Jake Hepple has claimed responsibility for the offensive banner which was flown over the Etihad stadium last night.
As players and staff took a knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, a plane flew over carrying a message that read, 'White Lives Matter Burnley'.
The incident sparked anger, prompting Burnley to respond immediately and condemn the incident with a club statement at half-time. Captain Ben Mee and manager Sean Dyche and Pep Guardiola also voiced their disapproval of the banner.
Hepple took to Facebook to share a video of the banner, claiming responsibility for the stunt before refusing to apologise for the banner.
Hepple wrote: "I'd like to take this time to apologise .. TO ABSOLUTELY F ** NOBODY!
“It’s now apparently racist to say White Lives Matter, the day after three white people got murdered in a park in Reading, but all we’ve seen on the TV is Black Lives Matter after George Floyd got murdered. What a mad world we live in.’
Hepple Facebook account which included a picture of himself alongside Tommy Robinson was deactivated on Tuesday morning.
Burnley's club statement made it clear the perpetrators were not welcome at Turf Moor and would be banned for life if identified.
“We wish to make it clear that those responsible are not welcome at Turf Moor,” it read.
“This, in no way, represents what Burnley Football Club stands for and we will work fully with the authorities to identify those responsible and issue lifetime bans.”

Sports / Borussia Dortmund Agree Deal To Sign Thomas Meunier by ufpeace(m): 9:30pm On Jun 22, 2020
Paris Saint-Germain right back Thomas Meunier has signed a four-year deal with Borussia Dortmund, with the Belgium International set to leave on a free transfer.

The Belgium international joined PSG from Club Brugge for €7m in 2016 and has gone on to make 128 appearances for the club.
The defender was also a part of the Belgium side that reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup.

The 28-year-old reportedly opted against signing a short-term contract to play in PSG’s Champions League campaign in August.

The global pandemic resulted in the French season concluding prematurely, with Meunier picking up his third Ligue 1 title with PSG.
However, the French champions have qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals and therefore still have European fixtures to fulfil in August.

The 2020/21 Bundesliga season is set to begin on August 21, two days before the proposed Champions League final date.
