Clearance Week

This was a tough one to get used to... The environment on clearance days is always very busy. Corpers on the move, some going to print a copy or copies of papers... ' Get ready to see loads of white sheet of papers ' and also a scotching sun to complete the menu. 

You would see a lot of people pushing each other , people skipping lines , a lot of standing before I forget, and also not so smiley staff faces..... 

All this struggle to get paid for the next month...

If you got connect (phyno's voice) your clearance should be very easy. 

Allawee things 

Well Happy Clearance week guys....

Android Users be WARNED!!!


According to Sky News 2015, Google can now remotely reset Android Phones. This gives them access to your information ones ordered by a court to do so. 

More information can be found on here: http://news.sky.com/story/1592740/google-can-reset-75-percent-of-android-phones-remotely

I hope the courts in Nigeria would make use of this opportunity... Say Yes to Forensic Examination (Mobile Phone Forensics. 

Reminds me of some practical I did as regards to mobile phone forensics.. 

I would like to know if the device owners are informed before that action is taken or it's done behind their backs. 

I see more lawsuits coming ......

What do you think ??

Is Money EVIL?

"We say money is the root of all evil , but you and me like it. So we are all evil.

Same Store New location - SLOT

There is a new change in Abeokuta town.  

Slot - sells mobile phones and many other devices from different vendors such as Blackberry, Nokia, Dell and many more.. The former slot shop on Oke-ilewo road is now being occupied by a new electronics outlet called 'PLAY'

NEW PLAY STORE -Formerly occupied by SLOT 
... Shop Entrance 
Loud speakers were displayed outside the store . There was music, a very loud one. Guess their trying to send a message of their arrival.

  On the other hand, SLOT has now moved further down oke-ilewo road towards the fly-over bridge. You can't miss it because their colour makes them stand out.. See the images below 


...New SLOT location - Still undergoing construction. The shop is open for sales as usual.

Toasting Lines from Boy - Girl

Boy: let's talk 
Girl : talk about what? 
Boy: you know now 
Boy: Your killing me with the way you do... Huh
"Am always happy when am with you. You know I speak to you last night like a drunk. Am not drunk, am myself. 

   Although am a shy man ... I like to express myself. 
I love you.... I think because you encourage  me to do so many things I never planned for. But there are in me but I never see it . People try to bring me down but you encourage me. "

You make me see myself as if am there (he means the future)

Am facing challenges and I need you to help my ministration.


Lol.. Funny and heart warming....

Drop your toasting/ministration lines...

How to deal with boredom at PPA

It's almost 1pm and am yet to complete or carry out any task relating to PPA. Zero work...  Arghhh. When you don't come now they will complain... 

Don't mind me corpers, make sure you go to work.

Use the time to work on your personal ideas, project , business and many more which you find interesting...

Complete an online course if you need to, read an article, develop the habit of writing extensively. This helps build your vocabulary and also your writing structure....

Cheers...

Yeh they shipped us all to Ogun state - #Sagamu

This should motivate other international students to participate in the movement. That's if they don't scrap NYSC. 

But on a more serious note ... Should the NYSC program be continued???

It's fun but sometimes it's just stressful and exhausting ......

I miss my glasses it's broken now :(

My First Day in Camp - Sagamu

My first day in camp


I travelled all the way from Delta State to Sagamu, Ogun state for the Orientation Camp. This was the beginning of May 2015, it was a really long trip by road which took about 5-6hrs. It felt like I was been taken to secondary school again. Along with me on the trip was my mum and the driver. I was all packed and ready to go. On getting to the gate, my mum was told she couldn't come in with me. I had to say my goodbyes and all *Tears*😭😭.

Moving on, was checked at the gate for contrabands and I remember sharing my Eclairs sweet with the securities there. *shine shine eyes*. I was cleared anyways, didn't take any unwanted items to Camp.

Getting into the building, all I could see was people - so many of them. Some had arrived earlier and were all done with registration and had also gotten their kits. 

Got help with my luggages, apparently they were so many of them (The Helpers). But you know the drill you Gotta pay for the services being delivered. 

P.s : when going to camp, pack light . I ended not using all I took to camp. Excess luggage but no charges 😃

Na the girl Sha help me carry my bag until I reach hostel. This made it easier for me to attend to some other registration issues I needed to sort out. 

It was a very long day Sha, at the end of the day I couldn't complete my registration which I had to complete the following day. 

The only thing that made me happy on that day was the new sleeping foam I got. There were some horrible foams tho.. OMG... 

P.s: I got my own pillow from home.. 

I really don't understand why they made us register online and yet we had to repeat the whole process again in camp . We would discuss this later. 

Drop your comments about your first day in camp.
