Media Training: Bedrock of Journalism.

Image
In an era of a more interactive digital platform, more persons have picked up the trade of being producers and as well consumers of media content, with little or now knowledge and understanding of Journalist writing. Many persons have picked up writing, and while that is worthy of applause and encouragement, it's good that we know also that journalist writing and other forms of writing are distinct in their approach from beginning to the end. It is therefore important that whosoever will pick up any form of Journalist writing, he/she should aquire the relevant knowledge and skills needed for a journalist writer and writing. For instance, a very good creative writer can be terrible at journalist writing. Hence, every one interested in Journalistic form of writing should undergo requisite journalist training. Journalism is a profession that rest on the bedrock of well acquired knowledge and skill having painstakingly undergone training and retraining.  ...

Who is she?

And for a moment, it was just about her achievements and her accomplishments. There was loud sound of musical instruments playing melodious tunes to acknowledge her. Men and women, the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the kings and the poor, from far and near garthered just for her. You needed to see the grand decoration that the venue was adorned with. The manner in which the hall was clean, one would be tempted to lie on the floor a little. The food served was one you only see at the gathering of Creme de la Creme in the society. Everyone was given treatment meant for 1st class Royalties. They sang her praise and danced in her honor, they made merriment as if they had all day. But, but if only they knew how she got to this point? if only they had a glimpse of the making of this day? If only they understand the agony, pains, tears, heartbreaks, that had taken precedence. Well, we can't deny them the good of her labour if only she wishes. Though they shut the door at ...

She Defected Suicidal Thoughts

Nanyi is not the regular girl you will meet. She's intelligent, articulate and having an awesome personality. You could say, she's an exceptional lady. She was just 23 when she first walked into my office seeking for employment. Going through her credentials and after having a chat with her, she was just the best candidate for the position my company was recruiting for. So, I directed her to the director of personal, who gave her the employment letter and benefits accrued to her office. Few months into Nanyi's work with my company, she became friends with my wife. Unlike other friendship, the two became as sisters and inseparable.  I must say that I sometimes jealous their friendship. My wife and I thought everything was good and fine with Nanyi. We never saw any form of negativity from her as she was always cheerful and hardworking. Nanyi became so committement to her work, that since the establishment of my company, we've never hard such a resourceful Account Execu...

My Drive

My Drive By Nankpak Nanpon Cirfat (SpeakLife by IamNankpak) "we may not all be in leadership positions, but we are all in positions to make positive impact on our society" -@IamNankpak For every creation of the creator, there lies a deep purpose that when unleashed, will give posterity an opportunity to live; we find a reason behind everything that exists.

Hepocrite..

Hypocrites everywhere. We all find ourselves here, social media deepens this menace, We look compassionate, But care not in real time. Hypocrites everywhere. She was just seeking for friendship, He only needed a shoulder to cry on, Came on in the open make an offer, But vehemently deny in reality. Hypocrites everywhere. If I continue With the Banwagon, If I continue with the multitude, Quick to condemn without a solution, But I choose to act different. Free me, am coming out and if you aren't comfortable with it also, join me lead the New Breed. Nankpak Cirfat #SpeakLife #NoToSuicide

The New Conventional

Image
*The New Conventional* Many people pass through life, but only few are distinguished, because they challenge the conventions at every given stage and make a difference. The world in which we live is designed to function in a particular direction and dimension at different levels. This has therefore, conditioned us to work in  particular ways to be considered normal and in conformity with the acceptable norms. One truth I have however discovered, is that men and women who had in time past, distinguished themselves in their various fields of endeavour, were people who challenged the conventions at every turn . I tell you this, if we must be men and women who generations to come would remember for our impact,  we must question the conventional. We must look inwardly and be creative and innovative. #IamNankpak I #SpeakLife Photo Credit: Eze freeman Michael

Some Night Thoughts

* Some Night Thoughts * 🤔🤔🤔 What is it with us??? Especially in this part(Nigeria) of the world, we begin a thing and like most of our government project we don't see its completion? How far with #JusticeForKums the Unijos student? What is happening with the #justice4ochanya We must carry our energy online and translate it offline to get things done. For if @segalink Can get something done with #EndSARS, then #JusticeForKums and #justice4ochanya can be realised. #IamNankpak, I #SpeakLife

My thoughts about societal development: If you see a society that works, then you've seen a community where individuals recognize their unique place and strive to get it right. It's the individual work that sums up our societal growth. #SpeakLife #FridayMotivation #EndPoverty

Dear Unijos Aspirant

*Dear Unijos Aspirant* It's a good thing that you desire to serve fellow students in the capacity you've chosen. I found out that one of the most influential and powerful book in human history says,  "he that desire to be a leader, desires a good thing". So,  I commend you for this great step you've taken. As we go through this phase of life and the University system, its ideal that we learn leadership essential that will in turn build and develop our leadership capacity for the real world ahead of us. I know not all of us who aspire to hold offices will be able to, but it's necessary for us to also know that not all of us that hold offices will in the real world do, hence whatever destiny present to you, take it in good faith. When you do the things you do to help you secure an office, do it with all sense of sincerity and diligence.  Do that which in years to come you will be proud to tell the younger generation about it, and most importantly, do that wh...

Hi

We live in a world were everybody is to himself and nobody really cares about another, even with the many signs of how troubled people are. We need to really take out time to do a good check on the people around us, and especially through there status  on social media sites. Simple truth, many a people are depressed and need other to come to there rescue, but we are all busy for nothing. What then is your worth if you can't reach out to people around you and be the comfort and part to peace that they so long for. Am not speaking this evening because I just felt like talking, but I came to a point whereby I needed people to talk to and people to share my heart with, and I did put up those signs to see who will come around but no one did. So, how about we take out time each day to do a little check on other people apart from ourselves? You never can tell how a 'Hi' or 'Hello'you say to someone will go a long way in cheering that person. Here then are action point...

Doing Good

*Doing Good* Imagine fetching water from the well and turning it into a basket, so it is doing Good and receive no accolades. Imagine doing good to someone, expecting at least an appreciation, but ended up getting nothing?  Or perhaps, you invested time and resources into a relationship, business, academic, persons etc, expecting a form or returns in and from it but nothing came out of it? You see, life don't always treat and give us what we want and deserve and especially what is due to us most time, but should that stop you from doing and being the good that you are? I still remembered someone that I went completely out of my boundaries to assist back then in secondary, but do you know what, not a word or act of appreciation came from that fellow. But this never stopped me from doing the little good I can do whenever am oppurtune to do. You should do good, not because of the applause you will get from it, but because it feels right doing good. You never can tell how a random...

Change Agent

It was about 9pm, it was dark and raining, I however had to drive my younger sister down to a health care center close to our house to continue with the dosage of an injection she was on. Now, because of the continuous down pour of rain, the road leading to my street was somewhat eroded and took me great pains to maneuver the car through the path. Thankfully, I was able to drive out and return back home. So, I decided to do something about the situation.  Even if not for anything, for my Dad who will continue using that route and as well other persons in my neighborhood, as I will be returning to School. Early the next day, just immediately after the family devotion, I braced myself up, mobilised my younger brother, and a cousin to go fix the "pin in the buttocks". Accordingly, we took some buckets, two hoes since we had no digger, and a shovel and headed straight to site. After much deliberation and consideration, we prayed and began work. We got stones from around the n...

Self Motivation

*SELF MOTIVATION* Have you come to a point in your life where you needed some kind of motivation to keep you going and none or very little seemed to be coming, well then, let me share this with you. I was with a friend who is into sports. And please, it's not the kind of sport that most of us do just by going to the stadium or field for training and exercise. This fellow is into sports big time and somehow, it has been paying his bills. Now, for a big time sports person, one expects that he goes for competitions and tournaments locally and maybe internationally. However, this fellow always represents an Institution in many of such competitions. Lets not misunderstand this. In an ideal society, when you represent an institution or a body, that platform is expected to sponsor you because you represent it. But for my friend, the contrary is the case. My friend pays for every expense incurred in any tournament or competition. Now, why do you think my friend kept financing every co...

Bitterness

*BITTERNESS* So,  I woke up this morning and this question came to my mind. How do you treat people? Do you treat people well because they treat you well or do you treat them based on how they treat you? Let me share a story. Some time in August this year, I was returning from a study session  together with some of my friends. As we walked, I saw a fellow I knew and as was my custom, I quickly tried to reach out to the person, but I was neglected (in public!!). I felt very bad and insulted. I kept trying to figure what wrong I had done to get such ill treatment. After much thought, I decided to also go the same way; neglect the person subsequently. Well, to fast forward the story, yesterday I saw the person and  I noticed that I was not just ignoring the person but I had developed BITTERNESS towards this fellow. At first, it was just "ignore the fellow" and never liked to hear the person's name, talk more of seeing the person, little did I know that 'ignoring...

FEARS

*****Say no to your FEARS I've seen FEAR cripple alot of people within and outside the school system...      "WHY ARE YOU SCARED? " *Are You scared because of your family circumstances. *Are You scared because you didn't study any so called professional course in your higher institution and so your mind has told you if not medicine or law you cannot be successful. *Are you scared because your parents & loved ones   don't see much value in you? *Are you scared because of the present economic meltdown and so you have conceived in your heart that graduates need to go through hell to secure a good job. *Are you scared because you were told you need to marry a rich man before you and your family can be bailed out of poverty! Hmmmmmmm .  "The fear of failure itself is the beginning of failure"     Believe deeply in your heart what you want to become and go for it with the highest level  passion,if you have not find it keep lo...

Wait a lifetime.

Image
I Will Wait a Lifetime for You You hide behind your feelings and keep the truth locked away, but there is so much said in the things you don’t say You innocently tell me our time has come and gone and that we can’t go back but I don’t believe it and this time you’re wrong The distance you put between us is nothing more than time lost; a place for your feelings to hide, yet I can hear the love in your voice each time we talk My patience has no end when it comes to loving you and I will wait a lifetime for you to see the truth Real love doesn’t go away it doesn’t fade into the past, it goes on forever and always finds its way back I will wait a lifetime for you because you are my soul, and behind all of your doubt I know you can’t let go You are my soul, and I am yours, too. If two people were ever meant to be, it’s me and you. By: Gin Bature. Photo credit :google.com

TECHNOLOGY isn't all about LIFE...

I got this piece on technology and how it affects some what our physical relationship, and thought it wish to share with you my readers . Enjoy it . I had spent an hour in the bank with my dad, as he had to transfer some money.  I couldn't resist myself & asked... ''Dad, why don't we activate your internet banking?'' ''Why would I do that?'' He asked... ''Well, then you wont have to spend an hour here for things like transfer. You can even do your shopping online. Everything will be so easy!'' I was so excited about initiating him into the world of Net banking. He asked ''If I do that, I wont have to step out of the house? ''Yes, yes''! I said. I told him how even grocery can be delivered at door now and how amazon delivers everything! His answer left me tongue-tied. He said ''Since I entered this bank today, I have met four of my friends, I have chatted a while with the staff who kno...

MY BODY!!! NOT EXACTLY MINE:::

Image
I've studied the Woman' body overtime with keen interest of finding out what makes it so special and the most sorted thing by "some men" Its nothing short of extraordinary... It's simply supernatural that only God could have been able to put in place all the details so well with nothing missing. No wonder he didn't put her breast on her forehead neither did he forget and fix them on her legs.(how tragic that would have been😁) Dear ladies! Are u aware that our sex configuration is entirely spiritual; its our virtue, our pride? Men! You do not have the right to make demands of it...you Must and have to earn it... There are certain conditions you must fulfil to earn it; and that is putting a 'ring' on that finger. Sweethearts! Give no man access to that priceless 'body'  you've got unless of course he has made u his wife You are deeply loved and cherished by God. #don't let nobody tell or treat you otherwise #our bod...
