The principal is reinvested as a going concern. The fund keeps growing and whatever that is paid as the monthly pay is from the interest accrued on the principal therefore, the balance keeps growing on and on.

Thanks a lot

Yetseyi....

Please carry Yemiosibanjo and leave this thread... 2 of u please.

How am i sure its not the same person sef.

Mscheeeewwwwww.

I am assuming you mentioned my moniker in error If not I think you should read my posts on this thread again again carefully and the statements that led to the posts
And no its not the same person.

yetseyi:
Are you saying its only in foreign primary schools that we have a mulatto?
Is "Afro" not a word?
Is mom/mum not a word?
Is it that Nigerians don't use these words?

So what makes these words peculiar to just a foreign primary school or a foreigner?

yetseyi:
I am also not quarreling or arguing with you,I am really not interested in proving if her write up is real or not that is not my point.You made an assertion, I asked a question based on what you said, you mentioned three words and made it sound like Nigerians don't use those words.



The bolded has answered my questions, yeah certain dictions are not peculiar to us but not mullato, afro and mom especially afro and mullato which you specifically pointed out see your post below, yes the setting is not a typical Nigerian school but there are international Schools in Nigeria with that setting.Anyway, I do agree with you that the style does'nt look Nigerian but that does'nt mean a Nigerian cant write with that style.

micklplus:
Okay, i am here.
Though i work with a PFA but, i am glad to tell you, ARM pension is okay!

Yes, programmed withdrawal is good. In PW, your fund is yours. in Annuity, the fund is added to a pool of funds.
In P.W, Monthly pay is paid from the interest gained on the balance after the lump sum would have been paid. It is not possible for the retiree to exhaust the balance. The fund price is ALWAYS growing and that's more money!

Certain retirees that left job several years ago are still being paid monthly while their balances keep increasing .

Incase of death, the next of Kin is paid the balance plus accrued interest in Programmed withdrawal

In annuity and in case of death especially within the 10 year window, the Next of Kin gets paid the sum assured for the 10 year period only and not the entire funds used in the purchase of annuity. After the 10 year period, the next of kin gets paid nothing in case of death.

At the point of purchase of annuity, the insurance agent is paid 3% of your own money!

The margin between P.W and annuity isn't much and shouldn't be an attraction.
Programmed withdrawal is better and not because i work with a PFA but as matter of what is beneficial to you.

Hope this is helpful?

Yes very helpful, Kindly elucidate further @ the bolded

Thanks

yemiosinbajo:
I don't have to argue with you 'cos you are not the OP. Just let her challenge me directly. If she can write only ten lines in challenging me, I'll call you. Then you'll observe the difference in style of writing.
Of course she slightly employed the Nigerian style by adding 'o' to the end of her sentence and using 'wahala', but I can assure you that she simply edited this work to make it look like hers. As a freelance writer, I know what I'm saying. Core Nigerians don't write this way, and this is in fact not a Nigerian sch.
You may pick the lessons from her write-up and leave it at that.

I am also not quarreling or arguing with you,I am really not interested in proving if her write up is real or not that is not my point.You made an assertion, I asked a question based on what you said, you mentioned three words and made it sound like Nigerians don't use those words.

yemiosinbajo:
Of course Nigerians use those words, but if you extensively studied Literature or Creative Arts, you'd observe that certain dictions are not peculiar to full Nigerians. Also, there's something known as setting, the setting she describes here is not of the typical Nigerian school; not even one that belongs to the elite.

The bolded has answered my questions, yeah certain dictions are not peculiar to us but not mullato, afro and mom especially afro and mullato which you specifically pointed out see your post below, yes the setting is not a typical Nigerian school but there are international Schools in Nigeria with that setting.Anyway, I do agree with you that the style does'nt look Nigerian but that does'nt mean a Nigerian cant write with that style.

yemiosinbajo:
I don't think she copied it from there, but I'm hundred percent sure this write-up is not originally hers, unless she is a foreigner. Observe her use of words, "mulatto", "afro", "mom", etc. Even observe the names mentioned! Experienced people know she's describing a foreign primary school here.

Are you saying its only in foreign primary schools that we have a mulatto?
Is "Afro" not a word?
Is mom/mum not a word?
Is it that Nigerians don't use these words?

So what makes these words peculiar to just a foreign primary school or a foreigner?

In a meeting. Would respond before 1pm.
If you can send your number, I would call you

hmmm

Its like the powder is too much,the color of the eye shadow sef, Its like I am seeing a line on their noses it may be imaginary sha, anyway I dont know much about make up, Let the make up professionals judge.That dark complexioned girl is very pretty sha

HML Lasulaw

Please I have a question , I think I have asked this in one old thread,

My mum is recently retired and still processing her benefits/documents which will take like 90 days max according to her former employer ( They are still processing her letter to in her former office before forwarding it , its a governement owned institution) and she has been asking me which one is better, program withdrawal or annuity. She has not gotten to that stage of filling the choosing form at the PFA yet and she has asked for my opinion as always.

I did research on NL and the internet generally , I have read and studied the technicalities involved and I think programmed withdrawal is better, she feels its annuity because they pay for life and a lot of people from her work place go for that. She retired at 65. I have read the pros and con's and I think programmed withdrawal is better, I also know no one is supposed to influence a retirees choice of the two from my small research but I think its my duty to ensure she makes a right choice.

For those who have parents retired /have retired and have done either or those in the financial /investment/Law sector please advise oo.


ARM is her PFA and they have been okay(at least from information her retired friends gave her) and they called to confirm her retirement date.

5. Good Christian men know their worth too
and don’t want to settle either: Yea ladies…men
are understanding their worth a bit more
too.Christian men are getting more and more
comfortable attending relationship seminars and
getting information about seeking God’s face for a
wife. They are realizing how powerful of an impact a
wife has on the outcome of their lives and ministry,
and they are spending more time trying to see what
is beneath the surface. They know that a woman can
make or break everything. They realize that a
woman’s desires can accelerate him towards purpose
or derail him.
They are praying more and they are realizing that
while you still remain a prize, they too are precious in
God’s eyes and want to do right by him. They are
realizing that a wife can make or break a man.
Yes they are praying for a Ruth but they are also
praying against Delilah as well.
The Boaz, David or Joseph kind of man knows his
worth too.
6. Many Christian ladies have no testimony
with men: A few years ago, an older friend (a
number of years older than me) came up to me after
a church program and asked me about a lady in my
church. Who she was and what she was like as a
person.
I didn’t stop talking for minutes. They were married
about a year later.
Same thing happened to Ruth. (Ruth Chapter 2 from
Vs 3) Boaz came back from a trip, saw Ruth and
asked his Foreman “Who is that and who does she
belong to”, to which the foreman answered and gave
a fantastic testimony of her character. (See Boaz’s
response in Vs 11)
Here is a secret ladies, you know how you like a guy
and try to keep it to yourself until your girlfriends
force a confession out of you? We guys don’t do that.
The moment we think we are interested in you, we
are telling someone and we are asking around about
you….and we are asking our MALE friends/mentors.
Because we know they will tell us like it is and of
course won’t spread it all around church and make
things suddenly awkward or cause all the sisters to
start giving the dirty eye next Sunday. Bro code.
The truth is that even Christian ladies can be toxic
sometimes when it comes to how they treat men who
they don’t consider a prospect. You forget that when
the real prospect comes and is interested in you, he
will ask other men…some who may never have
approached you but who have watched you from
afar, and yes some who may have had an interest in
you but you didn’t like. How did you handle those
situations? (You totally need to read that article link
above…especially the 2nd part of that series)
The Boaz, David or Joseph kind of man looks deeper
than the surface beauty. They look for testimonies of
the woman’s character
7. Many Christian women want a Proverbs 31
Man: That’s not a typo. Pick up your Bible and read
Proverbs 31 again with fresh eyes… from the
perspective of the character of that woman…and you
will see that those qualities are the ones that many
women are looking for in a man when they should be
busy developing those qualities themselves.
Single Christian men are reading that passage
looking for those qualities in a woman, and women
are putting that passage down and instead looking
for those qualities in a man.
The Boaz, David or Joseph Kind of man has read
Proverbs 31 and wants her.
8. Many Christian ladies want to be married
but they are not truly ready to be led: They
want to marry a boyfriend but not a husband. They
want only a partner but not a leader. They want an
emotional prenup that things will always be 50:50.
They say they will concede authority to God himself
but in their heart, they are not willing to be led by his
representative in the home. What I am about to say
next I say with the utmost respect to women.
Men were created to lead at home. Now, with that
leadership comes accountability to God meaning that
God holds him accountable and will punish him first
for bad leadership. But a man cannot be accountable
for a woman he can’t lead….and a Christian man
does not want to be over anything he can’t be
accountable to God about.
The Boaz, David or Joseph kind of man is a great
servant leader like Jesus Christ…but he is a born
leader and he knows it
9. Many young married Christian women are
painting a fairytale picture of marriage to their
single ladies
Many young married women are doing a major
disservice to single women. These young married
women create a fairytale picture of weddings and
marriage to their single friends. They love being the
center of attention and talk up how dreamy it is.
Perfect Instagram photos, perfect wedding photos,
expensive glamorous weddings, perfect Facebook
updates, photos and so on. Is there anything wrong
with that? No. It would just help a lot more when
married young women keep it real with their sisters
and tell them that the wedding day does not make
the marriage. It would help a whole lot more if they
sit their single friends down and talk about the
importance of a praying wife, a strong wife, a
submissive wife (to a Godly man) and how contrary
to popular opinion, the faith of a wife is both a
weapon for the family and its defense as well.
Instead, they get their single sisters all dreamy eyed
and waiting for a perfect story and a perfect man…
waiting for KalEl from planet Krypton with the big “S”
on his chest and a red cape, when they should look at
Clark Kent from Planet earth.
The Boaz, David or Joseph kind of man knows that
the wedding is not the marriage and doesn’t want to
create an impression he can’t maintain.
Sisters, God has a beautiful story of love written for
you. Am I saying settle? No way. But I am saying look
at these men through the eyes of Christ. Get your
pride out of the way. Don’t define your marital
success by how well your wedding day or “lifestyle”
stacks up with other women. Most importantly, start
seeing yourself as a true (not just perceived) gift
from God that can bring God’s favor and blessings
into your husband’s life because that’s what you are.
So work to BECOME that and I truly truly wish you a
love-filled, Christ centered happy marriage when it
does happen.
You can add me up on whatsapp @ 09095009511 or email me @ martinenui461@gmail.com if you find it difficult to understand what I ve said or still having more issue contact me,and again invite me on your wedding day coze I know it coming soon.have a good nyt.

I also had to quote you too

Are you a counsellor?

mastermaestro:
From your maiden post it is clear that you aren't faced with a famine of suitors, just that you haven't found the one that matches your inner colour. Read and think carefully, my baby sister who got married at the twilight of 2015 actually got married to a guy she initially adjudged a mismatch. She confided in me how she didn't feel anything for him when he first asked her out. For many months her heart never panted a second for him.

I was far away. She called me on the phone one morning to discuss it with me. She told me how she wanted a guy as smart and sociable as myself and a cousin of mine. This guy wasn't close in many respects. That morning I had to open her mind to a few details about love and marriage. Well most important of all, I asked her to go enquire from the Creator of marriage if the dude was right for her. Yes I actually asked her to. Human judgments are usually flawed! It's extremely risky and a huge gamble as well for anyone to rely solely on themselves when choosing a lifetime bedroom mate. This is my belief.

After a few days she called me to tell me she hadn't found out anything yet. Well I told her that the guy was her soulmate. How I knew is something for another day. My sweet sister was distraught. The conversation lost steam and she hung up. Few days later she rang me to inform me she had confirmed what I told her. I wasn't interested in how she found out. Today they are married. She is overjoyed. They both call me all the time expressing their gratitude.

Moral lesson:

1. Don't chase after feelings of love.
2. Love is not enough.
3. The weak-looking one is usually the jackpot.
4. The flashy ones usually are a load of pain when you arrive home together.
5. Never lean on your own understanding when making the choice. It's a risk you may never be able to undo.

I just had to log in to quote you for reference purposes

Its not about living with landlord or not. Its about the personality of those you are living with. If you jam some terrible co tenants what will you do. A co tenant can equally frustrate your life.

Some landlords too don't like living with tenants tenants too can be very terrible. Some tenants will go about the whole street talking evil about the landlord to people on the street that the landlord just has a good morning relationship with. Some will live in a house and keep it so unkempt as if they dont intend to build theirs.

One can have a busybody tenant, landlord or co tenant.

Renting an apartment in naija requires a lot of investigation including spiritual.

nuela100:
It's very bad, and I later got to find out I Paid more than I was supposed to. I really dunno what can be done to eradicate this menace that has eaten so deep into the society. Do you advice I go back to the hospital and make a case out of it

I think next time you should just ensure you pay to the cashier and get your receipt . making a case out of it may or may not yield the desired outcome. You might be surprised that other staff will fault you for reporting the case.

Sorry OP its not a new thing. I am of the opinion that unless there is a very strict punishment (e.g capital punishment) corruption can never be eradicated in Nigeria.

I have worked in an hospital system before as an IT student ,a general hospital in Lagos and its exactly the way it is. Our general hospitals will never provide good health care except these things are gotten rid of.

When I first resumed in the Lab, I observed that some of the staff do tests for people with government facilities and collect money from patients and pocket it. PT was 500naira then, some even buy the strips themselves for maybe 50naira I think run the tests for the patient give him a result on the lab paper and pocket the money. It was like that for all departments in that Lab, Hematology, microbiology, biochemistry and blood banking.

Blood bank was where the money was, one pint was like 3k then and these people will sell and pocket the cash without recording because if you record and the cash doesn't reflect in accounts its an issue but blood bank was where they were always caught once pre liminary tests are done on a donors sample(mostly husbands of pregnant ladies)and seems okay they will collect their blood donation and it used to be sent for further testing at NIMR(I guess) they would be brought back after like 2-3months. Some blood samples are not brought back probably for testing positive to some things.

Now the hospital is paying that organization for that service so there is a record, by the time they bring the blood there is also a record, when we try to reconcile the amount of blood sold in the Lab and the amount brought it doesn't match simply because some people have pocketed the money meanwhile the hospital has paid a lot of money and at the end of the day its a loss on their part. Wahala will now start , we all will now start pretending as if we don't know where the problem came from.

The only section there was nothing like that is HIV and its simply because it is free. We rotate working in each section as an IT student.

It even got worse at some point, it was an individual thing before it now became a general thing in that lab, all the money collected from runs will be gathered at the end of a business day and shared according to heirachy .

HOD takes the highest, the next ogas next, down to the technicians and they even use to give us IT students like 100-150 naira each for transport depending on "sales".(I now know better sha) Imagine someone making like 3k extra every day as at 2009.

Government buys equipment government buys reagents, we use the equipment and reagents pocket the money and we expect government to buy more reagents and also pay salary and some reagents for those automated analysers cost a lot. I am part of those that believe an hospital should be able to take care of its running expenses from the income it makes since government built ,equipped and is paying salaries but CORRUPTION won't allow these happen, as long as we are eating the money wewill not have good public health care .


Pharmacy nko, the day my cousin did wahala for them at the pharmacy, that was when Fashola said 60 and above , 12years and below they should be treated free and have free drugs but you see that free pharmacy they never have drugs, only paracetamol and etc. So my cousin who was a Lagos state teacher (they use to have free treatment then) brought her son below 12 andafter they prescribed drugs for him they went to the free pharmacy, they didnt have anything on the list not even vitamins. One would think my cousin was a perm sec with the way she packages her self lool , she started making some calls and speaking phony English as if she was calling to confirm if the consignment was not delivered to the pharmacy. She said the next thing the drugs began to surface ooo. Everything on the list was given to her son. Its that same hospital. Loool.

If government won't make profit from hospitals at least we should let the little they provide go round to us. Governments effort will always be futile as long as we are there to frustrate it.

If we don't implement the change begins with me campaign naija is not going anywhere. I mean no where.

General Hospitals and the civil service are the throne of corruption in Nigeria(after the Nigerian police) An average Nigerian wants to get something for a job he/she is being paid to do.

As much as Fashola tried to cleanse that system them people still found a way around it. I hope things are better now sha.I heared they put numbers to call within the maternal and child care centers if anyone asks anything from you.

damiso:
I wonder at this curse o

I think I need to stop reading/responding to this ijebu bait threads

I thought I had heard it all too but this ancestral curse matter is the newest I have heard in recent times.

Lool at ancestral curses, well the curse didn't catch my relative that has been married to an Ondo person for about 30years.


The death stuff is a scare tactic @ nyckeh

Shym3xx:
Loool. So, it is Ijebu again lol. Some of these bottom feeding eaters and always hating on a group that's contributing almost 60% of success stories to Yoruba people. A lot of them are just mentally backward due to excessive consumption of amala loool.

Most Ijebu guys around aren't even checking for Yoruba chics (not even Ijebu Chics). And my elder brother/sister are with partners whose parents are from the hinterland Yorubaland bits and they have no problem. Anyway, those in Naij are just backward, hence most of them can't progress beyond brown roofs and servitude lol. Ain't no one got time for these people. They can do whatever they want with their undesirables loool.

Ijebu nyggahs are on the March to bigger things and bigger money. And we won't neglect these bottom feeders no matter the hate. We shall keep dragging them up, the same way Ijebu ancestors protected Ife from total annihilation when they were all busy fighting one another looool.

You are still as troublesome as before abi lool.

I just hate stereotypes categorizing a set of people is just not it at all.

Good night.

Shym3xx:
What's the thread about? Is it about Ijebu people or just folks from Ogun?

Anyway, there are too many people out there in the world. If some backward Yoruba people aren't messing with the successful (when the successful ought to be ones running from them), that's their prerogative. They are the ones losing out and they can keep their amala eating arses where it is loool.

Well its about Ogun but you and I know the stereotype is majorly against Ijebus .

You ehn.

How have you been now, long time no see, I didn't see any ojude oba thread this year, maybe OAM4 is no more on NL.

Lemme help you out with what they didn't want to tell you.

The stereotype is majorly
Juju
Iya won ma baby won fe oko ni(can't translate it literarily)
And some other ones they just mentioned here,

By the way some Ondos/ekitis do tell their children from a young age not to have anything to do with Ogun people (esp Ijebus).They feed it to them from childhood you even said so yourself.

Stereotype nooni

This matter again, they have thrased it over and over on nairaland. I was actually reading down waiting for someone to mention Ijebu and I was not disappointed.

I suspect you are from Ondo or Ekiti, It seems there was an issue in ancient times and they seem not to like each other. The Ijebus yab the ondos (and ekitis) as olode meta and seems the ondos too have on beef against Ijebus.

I have friends from Ondo that their parents have told them never to have anything to do with Ijebus, some Ijebu parents too dont like giving their childrrn to ondo.

Anyway, I won't advise you to leave a good woman because of stereotypes, if they have a problem with it they should speak out or forever hold their peace.

People are always entitled to their opinion.

Did you just say everybody is looking pale in view of the coming events wow. I actually pity that lady if you eventually marry her, If she sneezes it will be because she's from Ogun state, your family will use that to judge her, she will practically be walking on egg shells for the rest of her marriage, she makes a single mistake you will begin to see the "shebi we said it crew", Infact it seems they are grudgingly accepting her because they want you to marry soonest.

If you like bro leave the woman you have not found a fault in because of sterotypes, If you eventually marry her hope you will protect her from your people oo this one they are doubting in silence.

And last time I checked oo, People from Ogun state are getting married every Saturday, both to Ogun indigenes and non indigenes.



Proudly Ijebu

She doesnt cook food everyday. When she knows she isngoing to make a meal that wont take much of her time, then she will not start early at all. Even when i remind her that it is getting late, she will tell me something like "Is it not just to make eba" but when she eventually gets into the kitchen she starts doing other things. Maybe that is when she will realise the kids will not eat eba and start frying plantain for them, or she will tell me she checked the soup and found there is no "Kpomo" or fish again because I dont like beef. Then she will start making jollof rice or something. She actually does a lot of things to make me happy. The timing is what I am not comfortable with. I have told her many a time she doesnt have respect for time. Anytime we have to get ready together and go out, I will tell her to start getting ready 2hrs before the time. She doesnt even make up. But we will still get to the place late. I go angry to church every sunday because even if she wakes up by 6am for a service of 9:30am, we still get to church late. I dont know what to do anymore. Whenever i talk to her, she makes adjustment for only few days and she is back to her old self. In the area of food, I feel I will make her feel bad if I start eating out but I dont know how to remedy this I am in. I will not forget to mention that she is a very nice wife and mother and very respectful. My family and friends like her. But this shortcoming of not respecting time is what I dont like. And you should all know that a woman who doesnt have respect for time is very untidy. And of course she is. I actually knew all these before I married her but I thought I can work on her and change these about her. Is this a cross I have to bear for the rest of my life because she doesnt compliment me the area of tideness and being timely. She scores Zero in being clean and timely. I employed someone who comes to clean my house everyday and wash too. I will not fail to mention that I still love her and she loves me with her life. She is very LOYAL, Caring, pretty, kindhearted and receptive. Family and friends enjoy her company. If she is not around, they misses her. I wish she can make little adjustment in these two areas of respecting time and being clean. There is nothing to write home about her in these two areas. I am always angry.

Hmmm, bro this two matters seem heavy. Have you really tried all you can? Seems those two issues are her own imperfections, do you think enrolling her for a time management short course or something will help or even Apps on her phone that can help her manage time and you don't need to get angry always so you don't lash it out on your family when you can't bear it anymore.

I have to admit that cleanliness is a big issue but
You have to compromise, continue teaching and pray she improves/change. I also believe if she can manage time well she will be more tidy.

Sorry OP, from what your posts she's not Lazy, it's a family habit which can be quite difficult to change simply because she doesn't really see whats wrong with eating past 9pm. I would have thought 6 years is enough to adjust sha.

I stayed with a family like that too, these people can eat by 11pm, me that latest 7.30pm I have eaten most times except I come late.This family can sleep by 1am, when me I am alreadt sleeping for hours. The first time I tried eating at their time it seemed the food didn't digest. Different families have different way they do things I have also seen someone that said if she eats the time I eat she will be hungry overnight lool.

Make her see the disadvantages of eating late, especially for the children if they eat past 9 when will they sleep? Let her know you appreciate her and all she does for the family BUT you don't like the timing. You can start with saying you would like dinner to be ready by 6.0pm and see how it goes hopefully she will settle around.7-7.15 permanently.

By the way does she cook soup every blessed day? Or is it every day you guys eat soup based meal?
Rice can be ready in 30 mins. Soup should be able to last 3 days even without freezer. She can cook soups that will last a week and freeze naaw. Once its 6pm she just warms and prepare the swallow to accompany.

Guitarlife:
Seyi you are mostly right but then the Prof. did not include my name at all as part of the authors.

Isn't that wrong ?

Is he allowed to claim sole author and totally omit my name on those sites ?

Please educate me.

Prof has apologized and will effect the change.

That aside,
I am now assuming those sites asked for all the authors from your question, Did he include your supervisor as a co-author and left yours out.Did they (the site) specifically ask the name of the main author of the article and he put his name instead of yours?

What I do know of in the case of those sites is they ask article you published and you upload them and since you have registered on those sites it will show as an article published by you, whether one is main author or not doesn't matter, the main thing is your name is among the authors.

If they now request that you should state who the main author is(which I think doesn't make much sense since the main author is visible on the article you uploaded) then you state who it is.

Hope you also know that you and your supervisor can register on those sites individually and upload that same article as an article you have published (in your names) since two of you are authors.If you want your name to show on those sites register and upload all articles in your name simple.

When people read through/download those articles they will always see who the main author is.

Guitarlife, If I upload an article on research gate as part of articles published and I am a co- author of that article , that's not plagiarism and that's what the prof did.
Those sites just want to know articles you have published, it doesn't really matter if you are coresponding author or secondary or tertiary author all what they want to know is you partook in the article. He even made your paper more popular.

So oga go ahead and cite those articles, as long as your name is part of the authors .

I read your comments and your replies and I can say it seems you are a bit ignorant of the way things work in the Nigerian academic environment.

That aside, you published an MSC project and your supervisors allowed you to use your name as main author wow, which school in Naija pls, they are nice oo.


Let me rant small

You will do all the work spend all the money, then your name will be number 5 or 6 and they add names that never contributed anything to the project, I mean nothing at all not even advice oo and you will be wondering where they came from but as an up coming academician you will just thank God that your name appeared in the article.(mostly MSC)


To choose a supervisor and Co-supervisor, you have to make sure both of them are in talking terms or else you are on your own, your programme (PhD mostly) has just been extended by few more years.You almost worship supervisors else they won't let you go.
There are some you should never offend they have got connections even down to the senate and other universities and they will frustrate you and if they really want to finish you the external assessor will be their paddy . Some supervisors you have to walk on egg shells around them, some will even transfer aggression from their homes to you. You have got to bear all, because of that prize

Too many beefs,eye service, cold wars and so much egos that need to be massaged in the Nigerian academic environment.

Students generally don't pray to get involved in academic war most times they don't survive it.

No name, of participant?

Anyway I was there and investors came, went round to check what the participants put on display,

Honestly the competition was not an open competition because the things they call innovations I saw there were all crop, you can imagine someone coming with an e-commerce platform that sells tyres and he calls that sh!t innovation, or someone with a loan initiative calling it innovation?!!!!!!!!!!, only about 3 innovative stuff there and out of the three I saw two were amongst the guys that saw Mr president.

Even the guy that had the guts to complain how did his name end up in the competition?.

[/b]And for the complainant you had a chance to be in the villa for 3 days, and meet alot of sponsors but you could not make anything meaningful out of it even contacts u no fit get,?[b]

I was a part of an organisation that partly was there to oversee the event, and [/b]just by talking 2it random people there I got to make contacts with people from oracle, red hat, and Google, not to talk of the numerous government agencies I never knew of and have even secured a sponsor for one of my projects!!! [b]

Was the complainant expecting to just get financial gains without really bringing anything of value to th table, cuz I presume him to be part of the remaining twenty or so people.with crappy stuff at the demo day

God bless you bro for the bolded

I read through the post again and again and I was trying to see what the problem is.

Your name was first published on twitter, they contacted you officially through twitter chat some days later, A day to the event they called to tell you they will handle your flight tickets, they lodged you in a good hotel. You even showcased your stuff and they chose the best 3 and you couldn't mingle with people or get reasonable contacts if not for anything you may need them someday.

Just saying hello sir I am XYZ we met at Aso villa demo day and you gave me your contact will make it easier for you to meet some people again.

Was he expecting to be given cash on the spot or something. I thought its a demo.

And yes airtel could have decided to give the top 3 3million each. It most likely not in partnership wt Fg, companies do these things all the time naa

The way we think sef

.

gochenko:
hahaha a friend's mum once told us about how two widows from a particular state in the south east were quarreling, the first widow accused the other widow of killing her husband while she accepted the fact that she killed her husband, she asked told the accuser that she gained a lot of properties but she (accuser) that killed her husband what did she get? Irony of everything is that my friends mum is also from the southeast.... Don't pretend you don't know that these things happen

Lool, its okay oo.
Why marry someone who can kill you because of posessions ?

gochenko:
you are right but I also think the attitude of some Nigerian Women/wives have contributed to the fear factor in having a will

Attitude as how? That she will kill you if she finds out about your will abi.
Or she will take your properties you willed to her and children and marry another person

So how do they contribute , just wondering oo Enlighten me pls


I know the process of writing a will is very private, almost a secret thing.

A lot of Nigerians see a will as a death sentence but it shouldnt be so

gochenko:
If my wife ask me about my will, she automatically becomes a suspect cos I will investigate her reasons for asking me that...


Lalasticlala please take it to the permanent site.

A will protects your family, its that simple. Protects your spouse and children from relatives ,makes its easier to access funds from banks etc.

No wonder relatives of some deceased people find it very difficult to access funds of the dead from financial institutions. Its easier to leave a will than for the people you left to be chasing letter of administration up and down, a lot of people have left funds of dead relatives in banks and other institutions simply because the process is just to expensive for them, they just forget about such funds.If there is a will its easy.

Now families are communicating to each other via media. Issorait oo. Maybe they are suspecting her or something, I don't like the tone of this

"Glory to God for a family who without doubt and suspicion received the sad news of their brothers demise from his wife at mid night and decided to make all arrangements to lay his body to rest in peace without medical procedures of autopsy as required in our present times"



"before his sudden departure whose cause was never known, as the family outrightly refused the need to run any form of medical examinations but chose to accept the fate."

Some statements are not necessary and a lot of people don't realize this.

There's a saying where I come from - If you feel you know how to talk you should also know there are people that can listen/interprete whatever you say.

Maybe its me ohh but the write up is not it.

Gaborone:


I'm so sorry that happened on my account dear. Happy the ban wasn't longer.



I later got the a contact of one of the revival offices, which I called this afternoon.The contact person I spoke with gave me the address of two centres close to my house and office, and the phone numbers of the contact persons. I'll follow up the one close to my office, since they hold their meetings on Monday evenings.

I'm excited and looking forward to it. Thanks a whole lot!

Cheers.

You are welcome

Gaborone:
Hello Yetseyi,

I'm so very much interested in joining a discipleship class in PEACE HOUSE. What youve just described about them is exactly what I need from a fellowship right now.

Where do they hold their weekly meetings?

Thanks.

Hello, I replied you yesterday but I got banned by anti spam bot, didn't know I shouldn't have posted a link.

The information on their site says to contact any of their offices for locations but if you can state your location(or send by PM if that's better for you) I may be able to ask a contact for the information .

Cheers

baldman:
