See why Nigeria as a country has a long way to go. Why can't we be civil must we result to force even when the situation on ground doesn't warrant it. Some people here saying the girl deserved the slap goes to show that aside our leaders the citizens are also a problem.

The girl being rude or ignoring the soldier does it pose a threat to life and the environment? Trained soldiers react with force only when there is a threat to life and the environment. In a reasonable society the man would have introduced himself as a soldier and even presented an ID card before asking her a question.

People ranting here do you just answer strangers who come up to you asking you questions.

what do you expect after all the leader see women as only belonging to kitchen, living room and other room.

Black man, Black mind and Black attitude.

If Biafra is ever actualized Nigeria will see to it that severe visa and residency restrictions are placed on Biafrans and will veto any attempt for her to join ECOWAS unless a clause confirming these restrictions is included into the ECOWAS treaty. Nigerians will not look upon Biafrans as brothers but as enemies who destroyed our country. Sorry bro you cannot eat your cake and have it, you cannot live among us

You that want to die on top Nigeria matter what has Nigeria done for you. has Nigeria given you basic infrastructures and the right environment to develop yourself and become a worthy citizen and a complete human being. Do you have light in Ur area, good roads, can you get free health care, how secured are you? can you be maltreated outside Nigeria and the government sticks its neck for you? what has your leaders done for you if not to subjugate you and give u a survival mentality so that you don't bother about asking necessary questions, fighting just course and challenging them rather you remain in perpetual servitude.

Any wise person will either call for restructuring or total disintegration there is nothing good Nigeria has to offer its youths....NOTHING....the same song and stories our parents have been telling is what we are now telling.

Something is wrong with Nigeria...the country seem to be cursed .....may be Nigeria wasn't even meant to be....

Why struggle to keep a country together that isn't working....This can't continue its either they restructure or disintegrate.

The days I had hope for this country are gone its RESTRUCTURE or DISINTEGRATE...

Is this what you mean?? That wasn't easy!

Jizzzzz...very good...but you can still bend more that's why I suggested walls so in time u can touch Ur feet doing the bend.

However I am impressed.... when I tried mine I heard my back make funny sounds...the back and the spine felt so free afterwards.

Nice thread zeongeon.
Used to do some of these moves years back; one-handed bridge, splits etc.Was also the only one amongst my friends could do 'bend and carry' but was too scared to learn backflips.
I got seriously involved in karate, 'blue belt' to be precise just two more level before the almighty black belt.
Received good commendations for my technique from grading masters who i heard ' couldn't wait for me to visit headquarters in festac.
This thread just brought back those nostalgic feelings.
Chaiiiiiiiiiiii

Welcome bro, I also want to make you understand that you can still go back to doing all those things. You would see the benefits in time.

I understand when people say they are scared of doing backflips but with proper progressions and spotting you will be landing your backflips. I see videos online of men in there 40's learning and landing backflips.

Karate is a good movement discipline I think you should resume training and again a black belt isn't the end of a martialarts in fact its just the beginning.

Look forward to you been active on the thread.

CassieV:
How? On the walls or just on the floor in between the walls?

On the floor in between walls that are sort of close....its painful and worth the trial. u will fill more flexible in Ur back and spine region and Ur chest will be opened up

CassieV:
Consistency is Key!!!

Very good. Have you tried doing your bridge in a tight place like say in between two walls....try that.

thesoj:
If you are gonna shamelessly stereotype Arabs in the way that you have, then you better not complain when you are the recipient of insidious racism as a black man/woman that's Nigerian. I can't understand how we as Nigerians love to complain when we feel mistreated by other countries, yet we are also quick to negatively stereotype other people. Boko Haram is a Nigerian group, so don't complain if an immigration officer of another country considers you to be one of them, since you have no problem doing the same to Arab and middle eastern people. Na wa.

If what I said angered you, I am sorry but you need to realize that the world now when they hear Nigeria what comes to mind is corruption, scammers, terrorist, drug pushers etc and that is why good people on this thread are trying to help one another appear convincing enough to the VOs cause even the VOs also have that impression about Nigerians making those who are innocent suffer.

Whether we like it or not as Nigerians immigration officers or whoever from other country already have a certain perception about Nigerians.

After some events of this year the people all around the world are beginning to see certain people as potential terrorist or agents and you won't blame them.

I am not stereotyping anyone I am just trying to paint the thoughts of some people at this time. Those words i said are from some Nigerians over in canada, a friend of mine inclusive, who didn't see any Nigerian coming over to there school this fall and who are also feeling pained about the rate of refusals.

hustla:
I have no idea, I haven't even applied or something but it's obvious they don't want Nigerians to come and turn Canada to UK given the high volume of applications probably received
I'm sure it will be better next year

Then its the Arabs and middle eastern peeps that could be Isis agents that may stab, shoot or bomb there citizens they will gladly let in.

The fact is that if Nigeria as a country was well developed and had a powerful and vibrant economy then we would have got the respect we deserve....The youths that want to better there life are even suffering the greed and selfishness of our leaders.

I have read some post on this thread and with the documents some people are submitting and reasons the VOs are stating it seems they don't even look and read through applications they just refuse it.

Information reaching me makes me know that some countries there applicants dont package applications like Nigerians who trying to be very convincing include statement of account, assets, drafting very good SOP and even trying to give the VO what they want and need. Most applicants from other countries don't stress it.

Advice now is to get out of Nigeria and apply ooh...but if your faith can carry the burden of applying from home then you can apply from here.

God will see everyone through. Though the vision may tarry it will surely come to past.. Be positive

Good night.

hustla:
Exactly my thoughts
Asides exceeding their quota maybe, they don't want mass. Immigration to their country cos of the recession

We won't even get out of it till maybe next year and that's mad if you ask me

Why must it be quota with Nigeria. My friend said this fall he didn't see any Nigerian resume he saw mainly Asians, Arabs and few whites.

Nigeria is a country to toil with nah....that's why they will take passports for 17 weeks and bounce people for no just reason.

Has anyone been to VFs recently someone I know said she went to pick up her passport and the place was so scanty you could count the people in the Canadian application center. How true is what she said?

How come the US seems to be issuing visas while canada is dulling people..The people I know who all applied to the USA all got visas while the ones I know who applied for canada were all denied including one going for MSC...Is it that canada doesn't want Nigerians again or what.

I think one should just travel out and apply to Canada from any other place aside Nigeria.

This year has been abnormal with Nigeria and Canada. Seems the VOs are seeing applicants from Nigeria as people trying to run away from the country pending the recession we are facing.

God help us all and our expectations will never be cut short.

Amen.

what are the prospects of occupational health and safety professionals in Kenya..is HSE a flourishing career path in Kenya.

If women or any woman has a problem with the word submission or fear your husband then I think they should take there fight to God and not to the men after all its God that inspired the word submission or fear for women in marriage.

How some women claim to love God and yet have a problem with his commandment of submission to there husband I don't understand...Ironically, you have more women in the church who claim to love God than men but yet find it so hard to obey the God they claim to love.

if you can't submit to your husband that you see is it God that you don't see that u want to obey and submit too.

If with God women want to play complicated.

@Toks2008 your on point. If any woman has a problem with Submission then go and pick your quarrel with GOD.

Bearshare:
I beg to differ,

OSHA is simply a brief abbreviation for OSHAcademy which is just a training academy.

Now you must understand the difference between training academy or training body and certification bodies. OSHA represents the former, NEBOSH is a certification body.

How?

Certificates from training bodies can not land you any recognised membership and the certificates issued are not more than simply a training certificate.

Certificates from certification bodies will land you recognition to become a member of renowed membership bodies around the world and you can build up your certification until you get something close if not similar to an academic degree.

For Example,

NEBOSH IGC is NVQ level 4 (OND equivalent in Nigeria), NEBOSH International Diploma is NVQ level 6 (Bsc equivalent in the world). With a NEBOSH international diploma you can go on to do your masters degree in Occupational health and safety with lots of universities in the world.

My friend, do more research before we give information to innocent folks here, there is a reason why NEBOSH is the biggest and most recognised certification in health and safety in the world. Even IOSH recognises them, ROSPA depends on them, British Safety Council trains NEBOSH courses, IIRSM seeks NEBOSH endorsements for laws and conferences.

Am out!

My brother you have said well, as there is no information that isn't useful when it comes to safety.

However, certification and training bodies are same cause Nebosh is even regarded as a training body. Even with OSHA you can be member of renowned safety organizations in the world. in case you don't know OSHAcademy isn't playing as you can request for transcript from them and tell them to mail you transcript to any school. you are graded and even have CGPA. Universities and colleges also refer students to oshacademy online programs and employers also refer employees to them.

Your saying things like Nebosh is equivalent to ond, bsc and even gives u opportunity to go for masters well I think I said all that when I mention the quality and standard of British education from my previous post.

Employers who are safety committed will still look at OSHA along side Nebosh and I will say that american companies will always look at OSHAcademy certs first. I know of someone working with chevron he doesn't have nebosh all he has are oshacademy online certificates.

Notwithstanding, OSHA, IoSH, Nebosh, CIEH etc are all recognized safety training and certification bodies. The thing with OSHA is that it reduces cost of acquiring a world recognized certification and training. I have got nebosh but still do OSHA courses and there is nothing wrong with that.

To further advice people, you can take specific oshacademy courses tailored towards industries for example fall protection course, scaffold safety etc. because I have come across vacancies that specifically mentioned having certifications in some specific courses that affect industry eg scaffolding safety certification, electrical safety certifocation, COSHH certification etc.

Do your OSHA or Nebosh but try to network with other safety professionals and put your ears down for information as regards job openings and internship.

CassieV:
Wow! The last two pictures require a lot of arm strength and great balance, I've been trying to master a handstand but I don't have good balance. How did you achieve this??

Great pictures, keep it up.

CassieV you will need to start by building arm and shoulder strength by doing pushups with your knee on the floor and please pushups won't give you muscles it will only firm your arms, girls develop structurally like guys cause they don't have testosterone. Then work on your core muscles by doing planks.

Then use the wall when you throw your legs on the wall take Ur legs off the wall one after the other slightly and see. if u can balance.

Hope the tips help.

Words alone is not enough to appreciate this your wholehearted help. Thank you very much.
I have the 132hr oshacademy professional certification since 2014. I passed all the exams but just afraid of purchasing the certificates... Cos i wouldnt want a situation where by it would not be useful.

The OSHA certificate is useful. It now depends on your resilience, network/connections, referrals and God Almighty to bless the hard work you put I'm acquiring the certifications.

ademasta:
Please what can you say about OSHA... OSHAcademy. How recognized is it?

Programs and courses with OSHAcademy are quite recognized. OSHAcademy treats safety from the american point of view with standards that are applicable and appreciated in top organizations.

America companies will look at your OSHA certifications before they look at your NEBOSH and organizations that are committed to safety will surely appreciate your OSHA certifications.

The reason why people are so NEBOSH based is cause of..

1. Nebosh is British and the British are known to deliver when it comes to quality and standard of education.

2. Nebosh since is British is recognized in Europe and other countries that has to do with the Queen (Australia, Newzealand and Canada).

3.Nebosh has a strong marketing base it has influence in the middle east, Europe, Asia and Africa.

@ agabusta
cc: zeongeon and other respected safety professionals in the house.

I am not saying that ISPON shouldn't oversee safety in Nigeria. All I am saying is that they should have different routes of entry into their membership cadre. Their stance of if you do not hold a GHSE and HSE level 3, no membership is streamlining things. So if I register and practice HSE in say the UK for instance, and my company posts me to the Nigeria do I have to start from the scratch again?

I know GHSE and HSE Level 3 doesn't cost much but then factor this: if every other country operates on the same basis as our dear ISPON, that means we all would have to take GHSE again in these countries fa...it doesn't make sense.

In Canada for instance, there are different routes to becoming a CRSP. Here's a link to how you can become one.
https://www.bcrsp.ca/prospective-certificants/why-become-crsp/are-you-eligible-crsp%C2%AEpsac%C2%AE-designation?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C6319955585

Same goes for IOSH and all other safety professional bodies. The truth is that ISPON is looking at the money they stand to make by having people run their GHSE and HSE level 3 courses. They need to standardize things so that ISPON membership can be considered as a basis for becoming a member of other safety professional bodies in other countries.

I get what your saying but if you do your research well you would know that all those foreign bodies have an understanding between themselves and have established a sort of connection and affiliation. That's why you will hear CRSP make mention of IOSH as one of the courses you can do to be a member of CRSP.

The thing is that most of all these international safety bodies will still have you take there indigenous exams before you can be a member and ISPON is trying to do same. In the ISPON act it states that Ispon would accredit and certify centers or organizations that run standard and update hse courses in Nigeria and anywhere else, therefore there is a probability that Ispon may have in its plan to later have people who run other hse courses with other organizations to become members. The chairman Ispon Lagos said they had iosh and British safety council telling Ispon to run there courses, with such developments, probably in the future one can become Ispon member with professional bodies that are recognized by and affiliated with ISPON.

Safety is still gaining grounds in Nigeria and you won't blame ISPON for trying to make an impression and stamp there foot on the floor.

@ CassieV...These are a few of my tricks...I am a movement person..a mover...homo mobilis.

I am impressed at your progressions u rock.

It really funny how same Nigerians complaining Reccession applaud and worship tyrants who brought this country to this state during the last 16yrs.

Thats why I always say Nigeria has a long way to go and it will be very very very very hard for this country to be a good one.

The truth is that many of these actresses are high class runz babes and aristo babes that are only using acting to cover up. when ladies derive joy in flexing there beauty, bum and boobs rather than there intellectual capacity they will continue to have men see them as sexual object...with what ladies are displaying on social media and in town I think women should forget gender equality and feminism for now.

I wonder why ladies complain that guyz like sex and only see ladies as sexual object when the ladies themselves seem to be happy and enjoy the fact that they are making men think of having sex with them.

That babe has used corset to finish her midsection..hope she doesn't crush her lungs one day.

So it took her 12 days to reply the dude...hmmmm...she should thank her God she was lucky if not she for luck 40, single and begging.

Some girls with there ego and nonsense forming chase prospective husband and when it dawns on them they start attending every singles prayer meetings.

The sports minister has just showed us the major problem of Nigeria.

With every passing day I get more convinced that this country needs to just break or we go into regionalism or better still we lease Nigeria to some other country to be managed.

if care is not taking many will exchange there destiny for iphone7 and some will be so fortunate to pay with there head.

If only our girls will embrace wisdom...many exchanged there destiny for Nokia 3310 then...some exchange there destiny for sim card that is worth 100naira now.

Some guyz advising her to do that dirty man if you will be happy to see your wife, daughter or sister screw there way through a job interview or screw all the directors and heads of department just to attain heights or status then your right telling her to do the dirty man but if you won't be happy seeing Ur wife, daughter or sister screwing men to get what want or attain whatever level then let Ur conscience judge you.

I would like to make inquiries and I will be grateful if answered. please what is the prospects of HSE in Dubai and what are the chances (success rate) of getting HSE job if one decides to come over.

Thank you.
