President Jonathan Pays Surprise Visit To Police College In Lagos

On the way to an ECOWAS meeting in the Ivory Coast, President Goodluck Jonathan’s plane was diverted to Lagos where he made a surprise visit to the police college in Ikeja.

Sources say that even his top aides were taken unaware by the unscheduled stop.
The police authorities were also caught unaware and had in fact rented the college to host a private wedding, which is illegal.
President Jonathan demanded that the top brass explain these actions to which they had no sufficient answers.
Upon hearing this the President immediately commenced an inspection of the college, starting with the student hostels where he discovered dilapidated conditions including no beds and toilets in the rooms.

Shakira shows off naked baby bump in UNICEF shoot with Pique

Colombian superstar Shakira and her footballer boyfriend Gerard Pique, have posed in a couple of revealing pictures, with her baby bump laid bare.

The couple who have been dating since March 2011, took part in a UNICEF photoshoot, to help the organisation raise money for some of the world’s underdeveloped countries.

“To celebrate the arrival of our first child, we hope that, in his name, other less privileged children in the world can have their basic needs covered through gifts and donations. Thank you for sharing this unforgettable moment with us,” they said.

 

Top Ten Signs Of A Desperate Man

In the dating world, a desperate man is one who is over-eager, anxious, presumptuous and willing to be with any woman to avoid being alone. Women can spot desperation in a man from miles away, and if you suffer from it, you’ll never stand a chance at getting any girl. A man who is desperate may have a strong want and desire to have a relationship; however, his behaviors can indicate low-self esteem and a host of other issues that turn women off and can actually be viewed as creepy and disturbing.
Here are 10 warning signs that can help you determine if you fit under the portrait of a desperate man:

1. Dropping your standards Desperate men are prepared to drop their dating standards to fill the huge emotional void in their life. Whether they want children or intimacy the desperate man will date who they have too to avoid being alone. They will be with any woman just for the sake of being attached while failing to realize that it’s better to be single and wait for the girl who is their type.

2. Constantly fishing for compliments The desperate man has low self-esteem, a poor self-image and needs to constantly hear how great he is and be assured of things. It doesn’t take long for women to get tired of constantly stroking your ego.

3. Overly Calling/Emailing/Texting Her If you want to run a woman off quickly, one of the best ways to do it is to overly call, email or send text messages early in a relationship, especially when she hasn’t returned any of your messages. The desperate man makes the fatal mistake of calling the woman he’s dating and asking “Did you just call me?” after receiving a call from an unrecognized number.

4. You’re always available Always being available makes women think that you don’t have a life of your own and actually lessens your own attractiveness, making you far less desirable. Being a challenge to women makes you more desirable.

5. You move too fast in relationships The desperate man will spend every single day with a new girl for weeks and never know basic information about her that normally should have been covered in the first few dates. Although finding love is based on each individual relationship and some people move quicker than others, the desperate man will move so quickly with things like intimacy and s*x that he will turn a woman off with his frantic desire for a relationship.

6. You’re constantly buying her gifts A desperate man constantly showers a woman with gifts without realizing that eventually she will become less thrilled and even annoyed receiving them. Even though the thought is nice, after a while the concept will begin to lose its meaning and she is going to get tired of always getting something.

7. Not giving her enough time and space Desperate men tend to be a bit on the invasive side when they always need to hang out at a woman’s home for hours on end, not respecting the fact that she has a life of her own life. Women don’t always want to hang out with you day in and day out and will quickly end relationships with guys not respecting their need for space.

8. You’re in constant agreement with everything she says Desperate men just sit there and agree with everything a woman says, thinking that’s what she wants. In reality, women want someone who is going to stimulate their minds and are not turned on by men they can completely control has no backbone.

9. You make her the center of your life too fast Desperate men tend to make the first woman that will go out with them the only person in their life and not take the time to continue dating and getting to know other women. Telling a woman “You’re the only woman in the world for me” before the three-week period will have her running for the hills.

10. Being overly nice all the time If a guy is too nice, too accommodating and tries to be the most giving person to a woman, she will begin to think he’s being insincere and will lose romantic interest quickly. She’ll also think that he’s only trying to achieve one thing: to get into her pants.

19/01/2013 Share Bombshell: NYSC Members Can’t Read, Write Or Speak Good English – Brigadier General Nnamdi Okore-Aff

DIRECTOR-GENERAL of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig.-Gen. Nnamdi Okore-Affia, Thursday lamented the quality of some of the present corps members, describing them as poor in English Language. He believes it would be a misplacement of priority if such corps members were deployed as teachers in post-primary schools.

He spoke during the 2013 Batch ‘A’ pre

-mobilisation workshop in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, on the theme, Generating Credible Data for a Perfect Mobilization Process. According to him, the level of academic deficiency among corps members cannot be divorced from prompt rejection of some of them in their places of primary assignments. Therefore, since the contact period between the corps members and the NYSC remains minimal, he noted, it would be wrong for anybody to heap the blame of their ineptitude on the NYSC as a body. “You will agree with me that it is extremely difficult to re-orient a corps member who cannot read,” Okore-Affia said. “To underscore the seriousness of this challenge, we now have a situation whereby principals of schools and other employers reject corps members because they cannot fit into their work schedule.

“Also, JAMB registration number must henceforth be reflected alongside other particulars of every graduate presented to the scheme for mobilization.” Okore-Affia said the challenge of accurate and credible data generation from institutions
producing corps members for the purpose of mobilizing qualified/eligible graduates into national service has been a recurring and Herculean task. According to him, a critical review of the data submitted by corps producing institutions for
2012 service year showed serious flaws which, if unchecked, could have caused grave danger to the NYSC.

How to Deal With a High Volume of Work

A high volume of work at your job comes with feelings of stress. In some cases, a heavy workload may also cause you to feel overwhelmed and discouraged. While dealing with a high volume of work without any stress may not be possible, there are tips and techniques you can follow to reduce the stress of handling a heavy workload. 

Minimize Distractions

• 
  De-cluttering your space and minimizing distractions is one of the first steps to properly handling a heavy workload. Working in a cluttered space is not only distracting, but also makes it difficult to find the papers and other items you need to complete projects and tasks. A cluttered work area can also contain many distractions, causing you to waste valuable work time on non-important functions. To handle a heavy workload, spend 10 to 15 minutes a day de-cluttering your space and avoid common workplace distractions such as personal emails, phone calls and office chatter and gossip.

Work Late

• Oftentimes, all you need to get ahead of your heavy workload is an extended work period without any distractions. Plan to take work home just one day per week, and use that day to complete as much work as possible. While a 12 to 14 hour workday may seem long, completing several projects during one long day is often preferred to working a few extra hours in each day. This way, you will have one designated long day that will ease the stress and tension of your other working days.
   Ask for Help
  

  • At times, your workload may be too large for you to handle alone. During these times, the most productive and efficient action to take is to ask a co-worker for help. If you have co-workers in your office that have the ability to help you complete your projects, utilize them. If this is not the case, ask your supervisor or manager to assign someone to your project or task to help you lighten the workload.
    

  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

How to Create a Proper Resume Formats

When you apply for new position, it is highly likely that you are up against multiple other job candidates. Your resume might be the only opportunity you get to sell yourself to a hiring manager and land a face-to-face interview. Choosing the proper format for your resume will highlight your strengths and point out your accomplishments to help you get your foot in the door.

Chronological Resume

Resumes using a chronological format are the most common. If you have a solid work history without many gaps and have generally worked in the same field or type of position in the majority of these jobs, using the chronological resume format is preferable. Employers favor the chronological format, since it simplifies the task of determining what jobs you have held and for what length of time.
To make a chronological resume, begin with an address block displaying your name and contact information. Include a career objective below the contact information. In the body of a chronological resume, list past job experience beginning with your most recent position and working backward. Include the name of the business, dates employed, job title and a brief description of your duties. You may also include a block for education details at the bottom of the resume.

 Functional Resume

 

 

If you have a fair amount of interruptions in your work history or are attempting to change careers, a functional resume will probably be the proper format choice. A functional resume concentrates on your knowledge and skills, rather than the chronological order of your previous positions. Using the functional resume format allows you to display your talents and experiences that are relevant to the position for which you are applying.

To create a functional resume, begin with an address block providing your name and contact information. Add a concise career objective, and then list the fields in which you have worked. Include several responsibilities, skills and accomplishments associated with each field, listing each one as a bullet point.
If desired, at the bottom of the resume you may include a brief employment history listing businesses with whom you were employed as well as dates of employment. This is the combination resume format, as it combines the formats of a chronological resume with a functional resume.

 

How to Build or Create a Career Resume

Creating a career resume has two main areas of focus: formatting and efficient and effective wording. Proper formatting helps to lead the eye to key words and efficient and effective wording is achieved by creating sentences that quickly and strongly reflect your skills. Resumes are always a work in progress, so by understanding the basic functions of a resume, the small adjustments will be easier.

1 Decide whether to create a functional/skills resume or a chronological work experience resume.

A functional/skills resume outlines the relevant skills that you, the applicant, have obtained. A functional/skills resume is best for an applicant with little or no direct experience. This type of resume is typically formatted using the sections Objective, Skills and Abilities, Education, and Honors/Awards/Achievements/Other. A chronological resume is best for applicants who have consistent work experience. This resume is typically formatted using the sections Summary of Qualifications, Work Experience (in reverse chronological order), Awards/Achievements and Education.

  2 Write your Objective or Summary of Qualifications.

An objective is one sentence explaining in specific the type of work you are interested in. For example, "To obtain a Marketing Planning/Coordination position with ABC company." It is important to be very specific here, even referencing the company you are applying to, so the hiring manager will know what position to consider you for. This communicates to the reader that you know what type of position you want and what that position entails. This small amount of customization also communicates that you have taken the time to specifically apply with that company. Keep in mind, if you do write a specific company name make sure it is the company you are applying to. A Summary of Qualifications outlines in three to five bullet points the type of skills you have obtained through your work experience. These bullet points should give a generalization of a skill that is further explained in your Work Experience section. For example: "Consistently rose above recruitment goals, five years in a row," then in your work experience note what the recruitment goal was and your percentage of increase. Many times this is the only area a hiring manager will read so make sure to use key words from the job description and to accurately reflect who you are as a worker.

3 Write your Skills and Abilities and Work Experience sections.

Skills and Abilities should be presented under general headings such as Customer Service, Reliability and Detail Oriented. Then under those headings explain your abilities in a quantitative way. For example, under Customer Service, you might say, "Created confidence in existing clients considering not using staffing to taking on 3-6 employees at a time." By explaining what you have achieved with numbers, a hiring manager will be able to better understand at what level you are able to produce. Work Experience should be outlined in reverse chronological order with your most recent work experience first. List the company you worked for, position title, how long you worked there in month and year format, and three to five bullet points outlining what you achieved. These bullet points should reflect your achievements in a quantitative way and work directly with your Summary of Qualifications by explaining why you have those qualifications.

4 Write your education.

For both types of resumes list the school you attended, the degree(s) you earned, and for college degrees the month and year you received your diploma. For a skills resume you can also list clubs and affiliations that you were apart of during your schooling that are relevant to outlining your skills.

5 Write your Awards and Achievements.

These awards or achievements should be work related and reflect your skills. Include in this section: Name of Award, Association/Company/School presenting the award, the month and year the award was received, and a brief sentence outlining what the award signifies. Achievements could be things such as "#1 sales person three years in a row," "Employee of the Month," "Dean's list four years in a row."

23 Ways To Win Over Your Mother-In-Law

Are you married? About to marry? Are you terrified at the mere mention of the name ‘mother-in-law’? Do you feel a few drops of hot urine stream down your panties when you hear your mother-in-law knocking at the door? Well, I grew up in West Africa and I know that some mothers-in-law are actually monsters-in-law (but that is not to say that all daughters-in-law are angels). So, how do you become best of friends with the mother of your husband and lover? Let’s roll! As a wife, it is a great fear lurking in your heart, and you wonder: Will my mother-in-law tear us apart? Will she hate me with passion? Or love me like a daughter? What can I do? What will I do? Will he support her and tell me to go to hell? Get a glass of chilled pineapple juice and relax! I can feel your heart thumping already,and yeah, get a handkerchief and wipe off the steamy sweat! The legendary war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been there from the beginning of time but with wisdom, you will not only survive it, you will be a darling daughter to your mama-in-law. Memorize these tips, girl! 1. Never See Your Mother-In-Law As Your Rival: Actions start from thoughts and you nursing such dangerous ideas will only lead you astray. See her as who she is: your mother-in-law and the mother of yourhusband, and hopefully, your newest female friend. She is NOT your rival. Some ladies enter marriage with a nuclear arsenal and the mindset of ‘demolishing’ their ‘enemy’. Don’t create problems for yourself. As a woman thinketh in her heart, so she is. Yelz ke. 2. Do Not Put Him In A Tight Corner: Some ladies go to the silly extent of giving the guy an ultimatum or asking that nauseating question to choose between you and his mother (like who does that?) If you cannot differentiate between maternal love and spousal love, then you are not ready to become a wife. Your roles are different, distinct AND separate. It is also an idiotic or kpalasa husband who will ask you to choose between him or your own mother. Water and oil are both liquids, but they just don’t mix. Hope you get that, sweetheart? Next! 3. Become A Detective: Huh? I don’t mean you have to take up a by CouponDropDown" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; list-style: none; border: 0px none; color:#444444; text-decoration: underline; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">job with the FBI or theSSS, but hell yes, get as much information as possible about your mother-in-law. Know her preferences, understand her thinking, comprehend what she likes (especially what will make her laugh no matter how angry she is) and those things that really makes her gogaga with fury. Such CIA job should not be too much foryou to do for a woman you will be stuck with for years.I said be a detective and not a spy….lol! Your hubby will surely help you with that. 4. Be Respectful And Courteous: According to the Yorubas, ile oko, ile eko ni. What that means is that marriage is a place to learn (especially manners, etiquette and good behaviour). If you really love and respect your husband in the first place, you will have no problem with this. If you are too pompous, arrogant or downright disrespectful, you may as well stop reading here. In virtually all the societies of the world, respecting your in-laws is very crucial to having a warm relationship with them and stabilizing your own marriage. However, I must mention something very important here: to be respectful does not mean you should become a slave or servant. You are a wife and you must always maintain your dignity. Do not be rude but be firm. A daughter-in-law does not have the same spelling as a housemaid. Hope you get my English? 5. Never Make The Mistake: Of what? Of pointing out a mistake, flaw or error of your mother-in-law in front of your hubby. You are his wife and as a lady, there are much more subtle and cunny ways to draw his attention. Do not criticize your mother-in-law. Ridicule her, you ridicule your lover, and of course, the granny of your kids. According to Shimon Peres, the Israeli President, there are two things in life that you cannot achieve without closing abit of your eyes: peace and love. Let me rephrase that: the personal lifestyle of your MIL is not your business. 6. Do Not Be Too Forward: Inasmuch as you are to be proactive when relating with your mother-in-law, do not try too hard to impress. Do not go to her place everyday (familiarity breeds contempt) but see her on special occasions or when she requests to see your lovely face (with or without your husband and kids). According to one of the 48 Laws of Power, scarcity will always create value. If you don’t believe that, why are diamonds much more valued than stones and rocks? You will come out as fake and you may even be suspected of having a hidden agenda if you are always trying too hard. Remember how that girlfriend of yours irritates you with her fake life? Be yourself, be natural and genuine. She will appreciate that. 7. Let Her Know You Love Him: Yes, forget the superficial jealousy, a mother-in-law will love you to pieces when she knows that her son is in safe hands. But, that has to be done with maturity. Every mother wants a good wife for her son but their maternal instincts makes it difficult for them to just let go. Blame the hormones. Prove to her (by your actions) that you are caring enough and you will over-ride her instincts. 8. Appreciate Her Gestures Of Kindness: Not all mother-in-laws are devils. Some are really really very nice and will love you immensely even before they meet you. Appreciate them and not take them for granted. 9. Discuss With Him: In a case where your duties as a wife are being encroached by an overbearing mother-in-law who willdictate what he eats or what he wears, register your displeasure with him (but relate well with her). A loving husband will come back to his senses, and a sensible hubby will not even allow such a scenario in the first place. 10. Place Yourself In Her Shoes: Know that it hurts her and is a patch of mixed feelings. Yes, he is your husband but it’s still her son, even though she now knows that another lady (YOU!) will now get all the attention and devotion that she has received UNCHALLENGED for decades. She will subconsciously see you as a coup-plotter ovethrowing her ‘government’, and displacing her from power. Onceyou understand this, you should be smart enough to sympathize with her by reacting with wisdom. In short,do not take everything personal. 11. Detach Yourself When It Gets Too Hot: If she is still determined to give you a tough time and make life hell for you, detach yourself emotionally anddiscuss with your husband. Just know that some mother-in-laws are incorrigible and can never be satisfied. Do not kill yourself over that. Maintain your distance but never disrespect her or worsen the condition. At this point, your hubby will do the rest of the healing. 12. Gauge Yourself: Are you wicked yourself? Yes, you. Stop rolling your eyes…lol! Is there anything evil or indecent about you that is always pissing off your mother-in-law? For the sake of your marriage and peace in your home, assess yourself and make sure that there is no fault from yourown side. 13. Draw The Lines: You married her son, and not her. Let her know when she is crossing the boundaries. Do this compassionately and very subtly. Get clues from your spouse. In the African setting, many mother-in-laws find it very easy to intimidate wives who do not seem firm or do not even know the basic responsibilities of awife. But remember, in asserting your rights as a wife, do it with the tact and skills of a diplomat. Don’t get him irritated. 14. Sync Her Up With Your Own Mother: Mothers-in-law suffer from the same ‘son absence syndrome’ and always understand themselves better. Also, being of the same generation, age and mentality,your MIL is more likely to get along better with your mother than you, a ‘flashy’ babe of the 21st century. Let your mother handle that aspect. A good relationship between the two women will only tip the table in your favour, okay? Good. 15. Communicate With Her: Did your heart just skip a beat?! I hear some of the ladies saying ‘Over my dead body! I can’t have anything to do with my mother-in-law’. Remember, loving the honey and hating the bees is not only hypocritical, it does not make sense. Choose your time very well, when she is in high spirits and have a deep, mother-daughter discussion with her. Do not avoid your MIL. You will only succeed in making yourself more of a stranger (which was your status before). 16. Be kind and compassionate: Especially if she is of frail health. You’ve got a mother too and one day, you will also become a mother-in-law. Remember the Golden Rule, and yeah, the Law of Karma. 17. Chill: Most of the time, mothers-in-law do not have any evil behind even the most mischievous of their actions. They are only a bit insecure thinking that no person is good enough for their child, or a woman has come to spoil the existing mother-son relationship. Such a reaction is perfectly normal and natural. Do not give yourself sleepless nights over that. Studies have show that most of the time, they mean no harm. 18. Prod Him On If Need Be: Make sure your husband performs his roles and fulfills his responsibilities as a child to parents. Apart from thefact that you will be laying a very good foundation for your own kids, no one will accuse you of being a callous wife who made him turn his back on his siblings and parents. Be very firm and insistent on this. That he is madly in love with you does not mean he should forget his source. Remind him if he drifts off, it will be to your benefit. 19. Do Not Let Your Ego Get In The Way: Do not think twice before apologizing and making amends if you have offended her. But do not degrade yourself for something you’ve never done. Do not allow anyone to blackmail you into submission or surrender. Funnily enough, she may find it difficult to apologize to you because of many reasons. Do not take that to heart. It is the pride of a mother-in-law. 20. Avoid Arguments With Her: Oh, you prefer to cook meat by boiling it and she prefers steaks? Do not drag the issue needlessly. Calmly agree. Remember arguments with even your own Mom do not always come out nicely. It is better to lose an argument to your mother-in-law than for you to lose your mother-in-law to an argument. Use your head and keep your debating skills for your girlfriends (especially if you are a lawyer…lmao!) 21. Always See The Good Side Of Your MIL: Positivity helps. Avoid being judgmental. You cannot form that bond of love if you are always judging her. 22. Let Her Mingle With Her Grandchildren Freely. Studies have shown that mother-in-laws actually see your own kids as 100% theirs! If she wants to pamper them to high heavens and take them out and have them to herself all day long at the beach, just let them go. You will even have the whole house to yourself and your husband! And what can be better than that?#winks! 23. Pray, pray and PRAY! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ For those who think MILs are overbearing, you need to realize that she actually made him who he is. She fed him, suffered for him, was hurt because of him, kept him safe and warm, watched him grow…all these understandably makes her possessive (she has the right to), and that is normal (are you not jealously possessive of your hubby even without all these, yes, you now gerrit). She may also be afraid or insecure that she will grow old and the son she has laboured forall her life will forget and abandon her. As a daughter-in-law, ease all these fears, see things through her lenses and you become best of friends! Remember that even the strongest of marriages can be destroyed with inlaw troubles. Be smart, diplomaticand calm in all your dealings. A friendly disposition will go a long way to helping you and making friends out of your enemies. Atimes, you may need to work very hard to make it work but do not give up because it is worth it. By Iyaniwura
