Advantage of increasing your age and what is your definition of a white a lie?

 

Speaking from personal experience, I always increase my age and it has given me a lot of  great opportunities one of which is the time I landed seven figure digits  payment.

There so many ways you can benefit from it.....your pension too, especially in an environment where you are neglected at your retirement or where there is no respect to your hard work over the years.

One of the ways Youtuber/podcasters make money


 It doesn't matter if you have 10videos of course watching the video is necessary but the important ingredient is the advertainment watch, if you have a 3minutes video and it has three different advertisement you definitely going to earn more money if the adverts are watched compared to the video that is 12minutes with only one advert, worse case scenario if the advert is not watch at all...you won't earn a dime.

My discovery as a mobile lecturer -Vivien Nwandu

 

Accessibility and sound mind :

The time I invest in training students to develop on youth development environmental factor is key. I will be focusing on project, decision making

and what it takes to have a sound mind When working in an environment you know that you need your sanity for you to function, speaking as a mobile lecturer, when training on youth development to get the desired result  taking a rest is very important. When you don’t take a rest it affects the brain and  in return affects your productivity ,project, decision making and as a youth development trainer, I don’t joke with my sleep, I can cancel my morning meeting so my brain can function properly, so I don’t look haggard and looking older than my age. 

You should have a break and the place of rest has to be a quiet place so when you come back from the recess you are on top of your game. The room temperature has to be right. The room has to be fantastic, it should not be too cold or hot. When the room is too cozy the the students can fall asleep. When it is too hot the children get irritated.

 

As a lecturer, you have to know how to engage the teenagers; as a lecturer you have to be exciting, whatever technique or style you apply let it be engaging so the children don’t get bored. There has to be balance, so they don’t lose interest, that way you bring out the best in them.

 

Another environment factor is the home. In a home where the parents are fighting, abuse the child ,that child will be distracted. It is not that the child is not a top a grade student but because of distractions of what he or she receives from home. It is not really that the child is not intelligent, it could be that that child is going through emotional trauma from these circumstances mentioned above.

 

The school, another environmental factor, when the school itself does not have some guide lines, the teachers and lecturers are not disciplined this leads to confusion, the students can see it and it also affects their performance.

 

Ambience can help them to focus and substitute a lot of nuisance, It can make them to have a fill of who is holding the mic.

As a beauty pageant coach- Vivien Nwandu

 

 



Vivien Nwandu explains why she had the urged to have started the Miss Xpressurself Nigeria, in her exact words “Everybody is a queen in their own right but the ability to standout and a make a difference is what clearly distinguishes you from the crowd, a platform was needed to create an avenue to empower young ladies and give them a voice. 

Being the founder of Miss Xpressurself Nigeria and member of the team that put the event together and also one of the panels of the three judges, I was particularly impressed with the level of the preparation of the 20 contestants on stage, their pet projects and the way they were able to practice the etiquettes in it's true meaning.

My modeling and pageantry coaching over the years have proven itself with the evidence of  Tarere Obaigbo emerged the Winner of Miss Xpressurself Nigeria 2014, reinventing herself to her full potential as she emerged the winner of Mrs Nigeria 2021,which made her to become the first Nigerian to participate in the Mrs. World pageantry, months after emerging as Mrs. Nigeria. The Mrs World which was held  in Las Vegas,USA,2022, at the period of all of these she was to be a country guest at the Mrs Universe,Mrs Globe and Mrs United Nations.

As I gushed with smiles all over my face as she was announced top 16 among thousands of contestants to make history as the first Nigerian and West African to make it to the semi finals of Mrs World beauty pageant 2022. Putting Nigeria on the global map as she was also crowned Mrs Africa World.

These above for me is a milestone, just from the little dream I had ‘laser focus’ on birthing a new generation of smart, goal-driven, yet humble young ladies. A vision on their intellect, how you communicate, interact with others (which gives access to team work) how to be impactful to the community, having a voice both career-wise, their personal endeavors, follow their passion and always reinvent themselves and remaining humble despite all of these achievements- a dream that blossomed into a reality to the entire world”.

Orieme as I often called her… if you are reading this, you have truly represented the woman I have always set for Miss Xpressurself Nigeria… you are still with the title until I embark on the next pageant edition to birth another world breaking record...on this platform

In the course of her interview embarking on her journey as a modeling and pageantry coach she stated:

Few months, same year Tarere Obaigbo participated in Queen Nigeria 2014, where she was part of the team of the event, coordinating about 25 models that were qualified for the pageantry on how to comport themselves in public spaces.

Tarere Obaigbo used all the skills she acquired during the three weeks training to emerge as Miss xpressurself Nigeria gave her an edge to be among top 10 and won most friendly among her conestants and was represented with a rewarding gift. Within a year thereafter, 2015, Tarere Obaigbo took another bold step to participate in Miss Progress International 2015, and Miss Vivien Nwandu and her team gave her the encouragement, boost she needed to once again to her foot forward.

In conclusion, a journey of a thousand steps began with a single step as these big accomplishments cannot be easily forgotten in the lives of thousands of people she inspired and transformed their lives especially the top three winners of Miss Xpressurself Nigeria 2014….as we discovered the 1st runner up was among top 5 Sisi Oge contest and 2nd runner up Miss Fotogenix   all happened right after the beauty pageant.

Indeed, what a legacy! Her passion for helping others will always resonate…an excerpt from one of her fans.

The pageantry platform that imbibed 18 young graduates with a theme that infers that being a queen is about style, intelligence, elegance, beauty and a a platform used to empower them in the society and also give them a voice both as career-wise, their personal endeavours, to follow their passion and always reinvent themselves

21 DAYS FROM ABUJA TO LAGOS

 


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgPPt_NM-ZQ
A man dying of a brain haemorrhage Approaching Kogi State about 25 minutes after leaving Abuja, the first police checkpoint I noticed was with a barricade of what looked like some bags of rice which had encroached the road, forcing cars to slow down. Just right about 10 minutes drive came another checkpoint after the first one but the terrible accident occurred just before the checkpoint. It would have been worse if there was no police check. They made the emergency call; the ambulance would not have come on time if it happened distance away from Abuja. The grand rule of any driver especially in Nigeria was 100km/hr on highway but this man was on 200km/hr. No wonder some people have phobia for driving. The horrific accident and blood spilling on the ground made it impossible for us to stop and there was absolutely nothing we could do. Moreover, I overheard among the crowd (since we were moving really slowly and I had unwound my glass) that the patient was losing a lot of blood, for his neck had stuck out of the windscreen, hanging like a suspended hanger. The sound of the ambulance gave me hope that the woman and her unborn child would make it. Faint sobs could be heard from the crowd. “Please save my husband, call a doctor! I’m begging you! He’s only 45years old! I can’t live without him”. I saw that he was badly injured but I am a neurosurgeon and I was helpless. I could not move if not I would have treated him before the ambulance arrived. “Please! Someone help me save him”. “Don’t worry, ambulance is on the way, they are group of men there, I am sure they can do their best till it gets here” said one of the people in the crowd. One person from the crowd moved away from her and told the next man that her husband had lost so much blood, his situation didn’t seem too optimistic.
