She is not the only one with straight A's.....Another igbo boy named Akachukwu got the same result.

Thank you.
I always use needle and thread for my beading.It takes longer to finish but can last for years and endure frequent washing. Let's make it a date on Monday i will show you how to fix them.

Thanx so much, ma.
I just read about the fire incident. So sorry, ma. No wonder you have been absent all these while. GOD will surely replenish all and also help you to get over in Jesus name, Amen.
Pls ma, I also have a problem. How can I achieve this full length?

They should do the printing for you guys before you leave camp. If they don't, you are going to have to pay a thousand naira to be able to print on your own. Cheers.

Please, how do I pay the one thousand naira to be able to print it? Thanx

I am currently in Issele-Uku camp, Delta state.
#Day1 #02/06/2015
I left home today for the much awaited camp experience. Throughout the journey, I forgot to even pray for journey mercies, my only prayer point was "let there be GLO network in that camp" my subscription is just a week old and there isn't no way I am doing father Christmas for this Glo people.
This transport people took turns in Jobbing me. After all I was going to become an Otondo, you know what it means, right?
Just before I entered the gate, a girl blocked me and tried convincing me to patronize her, she said her camera company was going to take care of all the pictures that I was going to take throughout my stay in the camp, if only I will give her half of the money and complete the remaining later. As she spoke, I got lost in the awe of her beauty and didn't know when I agreed to do her bidding. "But I am an Otondo and so no blame should come on me".
I didn't know it was another jobbing, oh dear Stella! I cant believe you did this to me. I entered the camp and the picture story sounded something different. Stella told me that Obi was a boy but her colleagues had a different story, to them, Obi was an Igbo boy from Anambara state who imports rice and beans from Cotonou.
When I got to the gate, everything else changed. You guys didn't tell me it was going to be like this. They searched my bag and seized my belt which they tagged as contraband. Then at the first checkpoint the soldier ordered us drop our bags and run a 100meters+ distance to and fro, the last person was going to suffer some consequences. You need to see the way I ran, like the continuation of the human race depended on me taking the first position. I ran with all my strength and thought that was going to be the end of everything but I was yet to receive a shocker. The same soldier now ordered us to carry our bags on our head. Thank heavens I packed light. There was this girl that packed all her family members cloth in her box, I didn't have any pity for her because nobody was having any on me.
We now carried our bags on our head and was matching time. They made us sing by force...
The soldiers were chanting
"Who send you?
"Who send you?
And we were replying
"na me send myself"..
There was about 5 other checkpoints that we passed through and we did the same thing over and over again till they were satisfied to let us go. It was at the last checkpoint that I lost it, the guy, "a Man'O'War" officer, a young guy that I am sure was younger than me took it personal. He made us to keep chanting "Otondo!" "Otondo!" like it was some kind of voodoo ritual. No matter how much we shouted, he still maintained that we weren't still audible enough. I went as far as shouting like that boss lady in KungFu hustle but he wasn't satisfied still.
I started wishing I was a pregnant woman or maybe even a nursing mother. I have already prepared to slump on the ground before a senior colleague of the guy asked us to leave.
Then came our rooms, a 4star hostel with state of the art equipments. From there was next to our registration place. The queue was longer than the great wall of China, what gave me hope was each time I looked back, the numbers behind me kept increasing.
The soldiers now forced us to go into the hall and sit down on the floor. I mean these people that are going to become leaders of tomorrow were made to sit on the floor against their wish. They made me sit on my certificate. A certificate that I crossed seven oceans and seven mountains for, a certificate that I killed dragons to get. They me made sit on it like it was just some plain piece paper that was going to be used to wrap Suya.
I sat on the cement floor for close to 4hours and when I stood up, I couldn't feel my butt anymore. It was as if I had a cement butt implant. And when it was about getting to my turn to register, they closed for the day.
I think this is soo much to just happen to someone in one day.
In a nutshell, today has been HELL but I didn't get to see Mazi Lucifer around. Maybe these soldiers are dealing with him too.
Lemme try and sleep and see if I would find some peace and quiet time alone.
But no! Ain't gonna happen, the Isselu-Uku mosquitoes have planned to do a welcome ceremony for each and everyone of us. A buffet service.
I hope the night doesn't become another massacre too.
#NYSC #OtondoCorper #CampExperience

I was at that camp in 2010. My experience was not as bad as this. There was no mosquito except the last few days.
God be with you.

tunbebes:

Jigawa is very hot my dear. Did you go to camp with your doctor's report? If you are married your redeployment is automatic. My own grounds for redeployment is based on insecurity.I wanted ogun but was given Owerri. Are you from the east or southwest?

Please dear, how did u address ur redeployment letter? My sister is there right now and has been given the redeployment form and her call-up letter has letter A which means, automatic redeployment. She was posted to Gombe but in jigawa now.

larosa:

Hi, on your front pattern measure down from the shoulder 2 1/2 inches along the armhole curve. Draw a curve from that 2 1/2 inch point to join the bust point (where the bust dart joins the waist dart). Cut your paper along the curve you just drew down to the bust point. Close out the bust dart and you would get an armhole princess dart.

Thanx ma. I just learnt something now.
Please ma, I have a question. In making a ball gown for a 12yr old child, which type of dart will be used?
Thanx.

@worry357
Thanx a lot for your tips.

worry357:


Dont waste your time looking for reasons.
If you had told us this we could have answered hours ago!
They are looking for a BRIBE from a first time traveller.
If he can be bold he my be let go, but if he is weak they will delay and ruin his travel plans.
It may be better to "give them something" and complete his trip than be stubborn and loose his trip and air fare!

They have already ruined it for today but the bribe that they requested for is too much for him...' 100 us dollars'.
His passport is in their office now and they asked him to come and pick it up tomorrow when their controller is around.

worry357:

You are not giving enough information for people to help you.
What country is he traveling from?
At which airport was he stopped?
Who stopped him?

Sorry dear.
He is travelling from Nigeria to Vietnam and was stopped at the murtala Mohammad international airport, lagos by the immigration officers.

worry357:
He has to prove where he will be staying.
He needs to go online and book a hotel room (and probably pay online) to be cleared for travel.
But your story of his passport being held at an airport just because he did not have a hotel reservation is strange.
Also how did he get this close to travel without understanding this?
Which country is he trying to get to?

This is actually his first time of travelling. He was asked to pay 50 dollars but he refused and his passport was transferred to their main office at that airport. He is going to Vietnam.

Hello house,
Please my brother is about travelling and his passport is being held at immigration office at the airport because of hotel reservation. Please house, can anyone enlighten me more on this 'hotel reservation', what it means and how he will get it to be able to travel tomorrow as he has missed his flight today.
Thanx all.

EFOSAVAL:
Here is mine after the side joing

Ma, I can see darts. Must we add darts, if yes, how do we go about it?

mine is June 10th

EFOSAVAL:
Now the type we are making like I said b4 is a very simple type.so first I divide my measurement into 2 using the block theory.( Eg front block trouser, and back Block trouser)
Waist- 36 ÷2=18
Hip -42 ÷2= 21
Thigh 28÷2=14
Boot cut 16 ÷2=8
All the length areas don't need to be divided.

The boot cut, is it for straight cut or baggy cut?

EFOSAVAL:
Wooooo. @cheries most definitely your little princess.. see those killer boots.
I love your project dear well done.
I can't believe I am just seeing this .
Been busy out of my mind.

Thanx ma, for your wonderful comments. I'm highly delighted reading them all.....

omozoba1:
woooow believe me is ur little girl. She wore it best from head to toe

Glamourprincezz:

dis lil diva rocked it to d core

winie:
wow! ur lil princess rocked it to the full. Beautiful! Missing alot.

estyy2:
Babe, truly speaking, you both did, love d combination.

Thanx all for your wonderful comments......

My project.......who wore it best?

EFOSAVAL:
First fold your fabric in 4 places.

Then we would use the measurement of the upper bust circumference to cut the radius. Since my fabric is placed on 4 fold this means I shall divide my measurements in to 4

Look at the diagram below. The lemon green line is the radius part where the skirt will be joined to the top.while the pink line is the circumference of the skirt under where the hem line would be .The Green line to the pink is the length of the skirt part.

Well done, ma. I observed from the project picture, that the back is longer than the front but from this diagram, it's the length. Please ma, how do we now make the back to be longer than the front?

EFOSAVAL:
Next is the under skirt .

Following. .....waiting for the under skirt.

EFOSAVAL:
Oh cool
If any ones got their fabric already please feel free to
Post them.i will get my fabric soon and will be able to post mine.

Happy New year all....
This is my fabric. ........ can't wait for the tutorial to start.
