If I can swap my lab coat for a career in IT then you too can! My Story

Image
This is a sponsored post... I am Lorraine Nwufo, a graduate of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka with a degree in applied biochemistry which happens to be to me now nothing more than a degree. With not much forthcoming along that path, I decided to deviate into the networking career after realising my flare for IT and particularly Cisco Networking because of its diverse opportunities it offers in Nigeria at the moment and in the future to come. I got to know about Deft-Rains through Linda Ikeji blog and I'd say going through it at that moment, turned out to be a blessing as it helped to clear my indecision on where to apply for the CISCO programme. The advertisement from Deft-Rains was more than impressive; the ease to which I could apply and the efficiency in response is really worth applauding. I registered anticipating the best considering how perfectly they had advertised themselves on the social platform and I got nothing but the best! The lecture room, conducive environment, mo...

Image
                           In what can only be described as a battle of shame, residents of Mwiki in Kasarani, Kenya were treated to a free drama yesterday afternoon after two women went for each others' necks over a man. Meanwhile, the residents didn't even bother to intervene. It is that Kenyans don't 'separate' fights or what? Lol. More photos

Lady narrates how robbers stole her ATM and cleaned out her account

Image
A primary school teacher identified as Evi Iwaha pictured above, has narrated how some robbers attacked her,took her ATM card and cleared her account in the early hours of Saturday January 30th. She narrated her story to  The Nation . "It happened a few minutes to 6.00am; I’d boarded a bus supposedly to Oshodi from Obanikoro. No sooner had the bus moved than they sprang into action. The first thing they did was grab my phone; ‘What do you do? Where are you coming from?’one of them asked. I was hopeful that they’d take pity on me, having told them I was just a primary school teacher. Why bother to ask if it meant nothing to them? After rummaging through my wallet, they found two ATM cards and some cash. The question that followed hit me with a bang. ‘What’s your pin number?’ Instinctively, I hesitated for a while, but a resounding slap on my face soon got me spilling it out. These guys were actually going to do the unimaginable. They were going to clear my account. To think that I ...
