TooMuchSauce:You are welcome Sir. You can send them a reminder tomorrow. They recruited student workers recently so they are not lacking staff. PDPGuy: ![]() ![]() 44,000 applications where they beg people to apply in order to have a large applicant pool then reject them? Let people keep trying their luck, I am content here. ![]() 5 Likes |

MackyNaija: I've done that quite a number of times bro (either via phone calls or emails), and it's always the same ol' story: "We are working on the documents in the order they were received, please be patient". So right now, i'm just chilling with my fingers crossed, hoping they do the needful asap. |

Mehn, after seeing the salaries of some of these American tv personalities, I'm regretting not majoring in communications/journalism ![]() Imagine Matt Lauer earning $25 million/year, Meflyn Kelly being paid $18 million/year, or Charissa Thompson of Fox Sports earning a $500,000 annual salary. It's crazy. Being telegenic and having huge ratings also helps. 15 Likes |

PDPGuy: Haba.... You know say things no dey always work like that. You just mentioned 2 names that majored in journalism. Heck, over 60% of the top paid anchorman never majored in journalism. They usually "stumble" into the job. Though, as expected, when their lives begin to take shape in this unexpected career, they usually go back to school to upgrade their knowledge in journalism. Not late for you bro. ![]() 16 Likes |

For this Yankee way I deh, my eyes don see something! Positively though.. The whole program is moving at the speed of light, one course is on the verge of giving us the first of three exams. What is different? 1. Cheat sheet is allowed - don't bother cramming formulas, just learn how to apply them. Bring a page of all formulas you would need. 2. Read between chapters 1 and 4. Don't stress yourself preparing on parts that are for Exam 2. 3. We were given a mock exam as an 'assignment' (not to be submitted) to show us what the actual exam would mimic. By my standards, na expo lecturer give us. I actually thought about not posting point 3 but hell no!!! All experiences have to be captured here. This American system na wa (positively)! Is this usually how people are nudged in the right direction in every school? 85 Likes 14 Shares |

While returning from church on Sunday, I 'met' a guy.. We have been doing the hi-hi from afar but that day, we had a 'chat', a long one... The part I want to highlight is the part he told us about 'doing the things that actually matter' and seeing everything else fall into place. He most especially emphasized that by the end of the term, we would realize that all we have been doing have been an overkill... I am gradually seeing it... When the whole class is given the area of concentration or mock exam, wouldn't excess jacking amount to an overkill?? 19 Likes 1 Share |

MackyNaija: my guy na so. I saw something like that on cracked.com. I swear i for no believe am if you no talk am now,you know say cracked na comedy and satire website so dey fit blow small lie but you just proved it above.. Teachers know students over there hate schooling and will stop if they are given the options so government is begging them to get educated so that everybody will not become Eminem or Drake. Another option i think about the topic above is that students need to learn other things expect books mongering everyday,so the school tries to make it easier for them. They still give them education they need in a way less stressful manner that can assimilaite with other education,hobbies,goals or dreams. Guy that is how NEAT societies work. Guy everything tight excess for you guys over there. 13 Likes |

MackyNaija: That explains the reason most people that went through the jungle education system in Naija, tend to do well (some even obtaining first class/distinction) in education-made-easy environments. 13 Likes |
