Dear Lady, You just have to read this to the End!!!!!!

I am excited that you commended the advise to guys and some of you even shared it. It is good to know you appreciate such gestures. But, can i also give you an advise?

This yuletide is something you must be careful with. You must guide and guard yourself. In my few years of Therapism and Counselling, i have encountered persons who are regretting certain of their actions at a time.

Well, it is being said in our local palace that; "The dog on a mission to lost would not hear the master's whistle". But i pray that would not be your case.

You are already to do ALL sorts as long as it registers you as one of the big babes in town making things 'happen'. Well, i don't know what you make happen except for your constant upload of pictures and changing of dps. Life is seriously more than that.

All you achieved this year was an upgrade from blackberry Q10 to Samsung Galaxy Note 5, oh sorry, you got a 'Selfie stick' too. Congrats!

This year is ending and with your unproductive life, you venture to begin the new year with the wayward way you started the last one. I thought it was said that; "Only a fool will keep doing a particular in a particular way but expects a different result"?

How much do you really worth in the market of life? No, if we decide to shade you up as a ware, what will be the price tag on you?

Why are you opening your legs for cheap and for free? Any guy could sleep with you because he cruises Camry 2 point 2 or a hired Range. Is that all that life means? Was that what you were born to do? It is good you know all the hotels and all the hide-outs, would it not be nice too to know some SENSE SPOTS.#countdown#

The accreditation team leader, who is a Professor of Childhood Education, Department of Primary Education, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, explained that the team visited the Department of Primary Education, the University Library, laboratories and other related places on campus, saying that what they found on ground had shown clearly that the University was indeed ready for the course.
Prof. Ibiam disclosed that the team had examined the academic content, curriculum, physical structure of the Department, the admission modality, the laboratory and library facilities, among others.
She advised the authority of the University to intensify efforts on things that would further give the Department a face-lift so as to be rated as one of the best in the country.
In his response, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali (OON), thanked the NUC team for painstakingly screening the Department without fear or favour.
The Vice-Chancellor, who was represented on the occasion by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research, Technology and Innovation), Prof. Gabriel Olatunji, explained that the University of Ilorin is very conscious of standard when it comes to research, teaching and community service.
Prof. Olatunji described Primary Education as the foundation that must be given a proper attention and recognition to ensure that everything built on it stands on a good footing.
He then pledged that the University would do everything possible to ensure that the institution sustains its leading role in terms of academic integrity.
Earlier on Monday, the accreditation team was welcomed to the University by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (RTI) on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali.
The leader of the team, Prof. Ibiam, said the team was in the University of Ilorin to perform a national assignment given to them by the National Universities Commission as regards the accreditation of Primary Education, a new programme in the institution.
She explained that the NUC representatives were not in the University to witch-hunt the authority of the institution but to look at what is on ground in the new Department.
Prof. Ibiam, therefore, sought the cooperation and assistance of the University authority by providing the team with necessary information and enabling environment needed to carry out the exercise effectively and efficiently.
In his response, Prof. Olatunji urged members of the accreditation team to feel free to conduct their exercise, pledging that the authority of the University would provide them with necessary materials, documents and necessary information they needed for the job.
