NYSC / Re: NYSC Opens Portal For 2021 Batch A Registration by LexPrescott(m): 9:34pm On Jun 21, 2023 |
Antmanned:
I guessed you didn't print your admission letter from jamb, you used your school admission letter while registering during your part 1 days. You have to print out your jamb admission letter, cause it happened to me LOL. Been over a year. Yeah. That really was the problem. I had to reprint and submit to my school and that was it. I've long passed out now (almost a year post-service) and moved to Lagos sef from Port Harcourt. Service is a long-left issue for me. But thanks alot for the response. |
NYSC / Re: Your NYSC Questions Answered by LexPrescott(m): 9:56am On Apr 30, 2021 |
I've got a question here, pls. Would appreciate some timely response.
I work at a private school —one that has never received corpers. I already registered for Stream II and I'm working it serve here in my state (Rivers). Due to some personal reasons, I'd like to serve in my school as my PPA during service. But my school has never sent a request for corpers. Someone told me I should go with a letter to camp, while I was also told my school would have to send a request for corp members.
TL;DR: What's the best option for me to make my current job my PPA, given that my employer has never sent a request letter for corpers? |

How do I fix this issue, pls? When I check my name on the senate list, it's there but I was told I can't register because "You have not been matriculated, you cannot register..." I'm sure it's fixable, but would it be possible to rectify it before this registration is over? How do I even start? |

Prinsola: My Shyness won't even let me walk up to a girl talk less of toasting her. I'm 26+ now and I'm still battling with that. My life is even becoming boring day by day.
I'm seriously regretting it but wetin I go do when there's no one to help We're the same shoes bro. Only difference is I'm younger—22. I can talk alot online and on the phone and I'm generally a jovial, fun person to be with, even amidst girls (that have mutually friendzoned me of course). Most times they wonder why I'm still single. I know it's low self-esteem Sha. Maybe I'd be more comfortable if I had more money. Ah dunno sef. 16 Likes |

Dayoebe: Finished secondary education at 16, I enrolled myself in computer stuff for 9months. I engaged as a typist, secretary, Computer teacher and other menial jobs for 4 years till I gained admission.
I was planning to sustain this business in school till the devil took over. Am hoping God will restore those glorious day where I don't beg or depend on anyone for money. Computer programming is the next call of duty I have the exact same life course but in a different age Sha. I just graduated and is yet to go for NYSC Sha. I studied computer science and I'm learning web development. I'm already very proficient in Java. I hope to use that one year at NYSC to brush up my software skills and work on a few projects so I'll be up and running by end of service. Hopefully I'll get posted to a state where I can make savings (say Anambra). That way I can have something to stand on after service until I get my footing, coz I don't want to go back home to my parents, I'm an only child. I gats make am. 5 Likes 1 Share |
Health / Re: 315 New COVID-19 Cases, 81 Discharged And 7 Deaths On June 8 - (1704 Tested) by LexPrescott(m): 12:33am On Jun 09, 2020 |
We have done only 78k tests? SMH. When SA has about 1M tests. Lemme tell you the truth. You guys say NCDC is increasing figures so as to siphon money. That may be true. But the reality is that there are more covid-19 cases in Nigerian than is being reported, despite allegedly increasing the numbers.
Brazil had their first cases a day before we did. Today they have over 650k cases. We have similar climate, so don't try to factor that in. But there's hope.
I just saw the latests numbers on Woldometers. I can't help it, I'm a hypochondriac. The recovery rate is increasing, the death rate too, but the former much more than the latter. We'll get there.
For those who say we don't have covid-19 in Nigeria, shey you don't have any problems believing it is in Ghana, Benin, Cameroun, Togo, Uganda, SA, and other African countries? It's everywhere but in Nigeria. Una well done. 2 Likes |

trekked from Mile3 to choba on an early morning
went to a wedding centre to beg guests for money so I can survive
but thank God, we don't look like wat we have been through. Never give up, always focus on where u are going to I live in PH. You really try to trek that kyn distance o.

I used to trek from UST back gate to Garrison back and forth twice daily in search of IT space, and also every single street and lane in Diobu in search of a teaching job as well, after I finished.

Stevecreativex: Mine was crazy and funny thou.
Twas when I moved over to Greece for my masters via PDTF Scholarship, Thou the scholarship covered my living expenses and so on...
But the landlady was too hard on me, the white lady just making my stay kinda horrible when I get to know why she is behaving that towards me I found out she does not like black people...
Damm!!! I even tried been nice to her so she could change her manner towards me... But no white mama just ain't ready to capitulate...
The worst she did which I had to how to involve the Hellenic police were on a cool afternoon I was returning from lectures only for me to open up me room seeing everywhere scattered my clothes on the floor, my window and door opened, immediately I went on to check my safe to see if my savings are still intact... Fam out of €1500 saving I met €20, I was so pissed, I knew twas her handwork.
Later I summoned the courage to go confront her about what happen Before I knocked I already place my phone on record.
Immediately I tried explaining how i met my room she claimed it saying it her doing, that she is tired of seeing my blackface ...
Yo local man was sooo pissed(if no be say I remember how I take to enter the country, he remain small make man punch am ooo) , I left the building took a taxi to Hellenic police Dept.. when I got there explaining this to them and playing the voice recorder, they followed me to arrest the white bitch...
Though white bitch pleaded and I just accepted with a compensation fine of €3000.
Bad experience but sweet thou ![cheesy](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cheesy.png) Can you tell me more about this PTDF scholarship? I just finished from the Department of Computer Science, Rivers State University last year, with a 2nd class upper division. I was supposed to go for NYSC by July but the pandemic would cause a delay. I was looking to secure a PTDF scholarship to enable me go for my Masters, preferably outside the continent. Could you give me any tips to assist me? Thanks |

Career / Re: Have You Ever Been FIRED At Work? Share Your Experience! by LexPrescott(m): 5:08pm On Mar 07, 2020 |
CokeBar:
Share your experience with us if you have ever been fired. It would be better if we can share:
1. Why we were fired? 2. How did the firing process happen? 3. Aftermath of being fired… how did you feel, have you recovered, did you get something better?
So, I’ll start:
Sometimes last year, I got an unbelievable offer (well above #750k) at a remote company. I bought a PC, subscribed for large data and set-up a workspace. On Monday which was resumption day, I turned on my PC, logged in and started the online meeting… everything went well for the first day and I got introduced to my colleagues. My friend and I actually got employed for same position, so we usually chatted while working. To be onboarded, we had to install a productivity monitoring tool on our PCs, we were told everything we did on the PC would be captured if the tool was turned ON but I really don’t know why I cared less.
On Wednesday same week, we had a short and simple test, during the test, I asked my friend for an answer as I wasn’t so sure, he responded and that was it.
On Thursday, I had a quick one-on-one call with my manager, I was fired. Apparently, I wasn’t supposed to ask for assistance while taking the test. I apologized but the answer was a straight NO (you sabi how oyinbo people strict). So in other words, I was sacked because I cheated ☹.
Well, they paid me for the few days I worked �
I have experienced other sad situations, but this has to be the worst. I was so depressed, the following Sunday, I went to Church and it was while Pastor asked us to greet our neighbor, I remembered I didn’t brush… LMAO.
Now, I got something with abit lesser pay but still very chilled ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png)

NYSC / Re: Your NYSC Questions Answered by LexPrescott(m): 11:48pm On Dec 31, 2019 |
Hello, sir. One quick question please. If your name isn't on the NYSC Senate list coz didn't print the JAMB admission letter but your name is on your institution's list, would it be possible to clear up the JAMB Senate list issue in enough time to join Batch A? Coz right now, the JAMB portal isn't working fine and I'm having issues signing up so as to print my admission letter. Even the option to print without creating an account isn't working, but I believe it would be sorted out by January when JAMB registration begins.
I just want to know if it'd be too late to join Batch A having this issue. Thanks. |
