Are These Courses Difficult To Make First-Class In Them?

No matter how much one tries. I think having first-class in the following course may turn to be a mirage. Here are they

1)Fine Arts

2)Architecture

3)English language

4)Chemistry

5)Languages eg french, portuguese etc

6)Chemical Engineering

7)History

coolPsychology



REASONS- Regardless of how beautiful your drawing is, or how great your construction work may appear. Your lecturer would never give you full mark. And that may keep you wondering. Write all the Essays or any other article in English language as perfect as you think. 'Blow' all the grammar in the dictionary. I assure you you won't be given full mark. Same goes with History. And this would keep on affecting the CGPA. Don't tell me you know everything in psychology- so tell me, why is you shirt yellow? You need to explain to me in details, i mean details!

As for chemistry and chemical Engineering i don't know why first class is getting low nowadays. The students studying those courses often complain that the course is too tough and lucrative.


PDP Accuses INEC, APC Of Burning Non-indigenes' PVCs In Lagos

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is conniving with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to disenfranchise its supporters who are the non-indigenes in Lagos State.



The party said the APC has engaged in burning and destroying of Permanent Voters' Cards (PVCs) of non-indigenes in APC controlled states in connivance with INEC adding that the ploy is to stop them from voting in the forthcoming general elections.

Addressing newsmen this afternoon in Abuja, PDP national publicity secretary, Olisa Metuh said the APC wants to truncate the democratic process through violence, adding that PDP would not allow that to happen.



"In the APC controlled states especially Lagos, the non-indigenes are being denied the collection of their PVCs. In some places, the non-indigenes' PVCs are even burnt and destroyed. We have records of it and we have asked the non-indigenes involved that if by Saturday, INEC continues with what they are doing in collaboration with APC, we will decide on the next line of action. We will not allow our primary constituencies that we have to be disenfranchised in this election," the party said.



The party also dispelled claims by the Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation, Governor Rotimi Amaechi that the PDP has bribed pastors with N6 billion to support it in the forthcoming elections saying it is unfounded.



"We are not happy that APC is trying to bring religion directly into politics. Pastors are respected and for you to say that pastors have been bribed is one of the greatest cardinal sins. The DG should state his facts and name the pastors involved and tell us where that huge sum of money can came from.



"Attack on men of God is capable of bringing Muslims and Christians into a major fight that can derail democracy in this country. The person who issued this statement is a Christian and I advise him to go for confession because it is a sin against God," the party said.

Firstgate Overseas Internship (FOI) Programme :A Scam?

Just Yesterday I got a text inviting me to apply for a program with N3,500 on a website http://ift.tt/1ziDmW8 .



Based on their website it is a local content development initiative spearheaded by a consulting firm First Business Intermediaries in conjunction with the Ministry of Youth and development , Ministry of Power.

The aim is to open foreign internship opportunities to 72,000 Nigerians btw the ages of 18 to 40yrs old so as to bridge the skills gap.



While I have done a bit of due diligence by visiting both the firm's website and those two aforementioned ministries

I find it important to flag some important red flags





1) I have not located any mention of the program on the firm's site, the collaborating ministries site or any third party news source.





2. The timing of the kick off the initiative Yesterday. And interviews starting off Feb 11th calls for concerns about sustainability. Why prior to the general elections when it is not certain whether there will be a change in government.



We are all aware of the challenges of programme continuity in Nigeria especially when it public sector tied.





The reason I have written is to safeguard citizens from any potential loss of money and unpleasant experiences.

N3,500 might not seem a lot to loose. But when one imagines the scores of applicants they would get. One begins to understand the scale if it turns out to be illegitimate





It's my opinion that the stakeholders must re assure the public of the credibility and sustainability of the project by the right level of Awareness and addressing the identified concerns about feasibility of the project.



Please further investigations and contributions are welcome .

Meet KilliWe Nwachukwu, Nigeria's Greatest Superman (Must See Photo)

“Killi-We” Nwachukwu (1932-?) was for more than two decades celebrated as a homegrown Nigerian “superman.” Some of his legendary feats of strength included lifting buses, having cement blocks crushed on his head, and allowing cars to drive over his body.



Superman Killi-Wee Nwachukwu was the strongest man in Nigeria–Philip Emeagwali





Killiwe in action

He was a superman who was going from place to place to perform. People paid to watch him. I saw him perform at our primary school in those days. I think his real name was Nwozuzu Nwachukwu (or something like that). I heard that “Killi We” was a nickname he got after a fight with a certain man, one commentator said.



A great natural Superman! Nwozuzu Nwachukwu (Son of God). “Killi We” was a nickname he got after a fight with a stubborn man “Tick man” who refused to pay him his money for a truck load of goods he conveyed from the market to the man’s home. He used to push a wooden two wheel truck with which he carried goods for people. Then, Truck vehicles were not around, or were not affordable. So, after dropping off the goods, the man would not pay what Nwachukwu charged claiming it was too high. He tried to walk away and Nwachukwu grabbed him by the hand insisting he must pay. A fight ensued and he pinned the man to the ground. The man’s wife ran in and came out with a wooden pestle to assist her husband. Nwachukwu snatched it from her, lifted the woman up and pinned her on top of her husband on the floor. Powerless, she started screaming, Killi We Nwachukwu, Killi we Nwanchukwu” meaning, Nwachukwu, kill us!

In the early 90’s, we were asked to pay some money so that he will come and display his power. We gladly paid the money. On the D day od his assuMed coming, we waited, we couldn’t see him, so, we left. The following day in school, some students that were patient enough narrated how he came, how he carried four students on each of his hand and some many power acrobat . Menn….. It was like a hell to me that I didn’t wait to see this man.

He is real. That was anothr commentator.



And yet another.

He existed. Back in eighties, he came to our school, we paid 50 Kobo to watch him. He carried 10 bags of cement on his stomach and toyed a 504 peugeot SR with a rope on his teeth. Story had it that when he died, his body was deposited in Aladinma mourtuary, he in the night, will carry don all other corpeses and strech himself on them. He continued this till he was rejected by the morgue. He was real.



I remember hearing stories about Giant Alakuku as a child. But I don’t recall ever seeing him.



I remember Killiwe. He was a fat dude and used to tour the country performing stunts like grabbing cars by the bumper and preventing it from moving as someone stepped on the pedal.



I also remember a Seven-Seven song about Killiwe:



“Killiwe Nwaozize Nwachukwu

Abeg make you help me carry my load”



Great Ibeabuchi alias Pistor Killer of Ngodo Isuochi the Lion of Africa who was a great Superman who contested and won the mighty Kill-We Nwachukwu in the sixties.
