CRASH COURSE ON RADIO PRESENTING...

Radio Presenters are the voice of a station or programme, whether they work in speech-based or music Radio. They are responsible for creating the tone and style of Radio output and establishing a relationship with listeners. They may also be required to carry out a range of other production tasks, as well as deliver content for related websites or other mobile platforms
Radio Presenters' specific responsibilities differ considerably depending on the programme or station. The majority of Radio Presenters are part of a small team, although some work with much larger programme units. They are mainly based in offices and recording studios, but may also work on location presenting outside broadcasts.
Most presenters are self-employed, working on fixed term contracts. Although the greatest concentration of jobs is found in London and the South East, Radio Presenters work throughout the UK. They may work for the BBC, commercial or community radio, on local or national stations, or for independent production companies.

15 Things Successful People Do

Ilya Pozin

Founder of Ciplex. Columnist for Inc, Forbes & LinkedIn. 30 Under 30 Entrepreneur.

“Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.”
Whether in business or life, there's a fine line between success and failure. Booker T. Washington’s quote highlights the inevitability of obstacles on the path to success. In fact, I firmly believe success and failure go hand-in-hand. Those looking to succeed must first fail or learn from those who failed.
 Successful individuals aren’t just born, there’s a lot more that goes into the equation. I've found those who are highly successful have a lot more in common than we may think. If you’re seeking success, these habits may come in handy.
 

PARENTING TIPS MADE EASY

LETTER TO NIGERIAN PARENTS

 Friends,

Let me add the benefit of my time as a student and then resident in the UK - and I live in Lagos now. The first thing that I discovered about UK-born, white, English undergraduates was that all of them did holiday or weekend job to support themselves - including the children of millionaires amongst them. It is the norm over there - regardless how wealthy their parents are. And I soon discovered that virtually all other foreign students did the same - the exception being those of us status-conscious Nigerians.

 I also watched Richard Branson (owner of Virgin Airline) speaking on the Biography Channel and, to my amazement; he said that his young children travel in the economy class -even when the parents (he and his wife) are in upper class. Richard Branson is a billionaire in Pound Sterling. A quick survey would show you that only children from Nigeria fly business or upper class to commence their studies in the UK . No other foreign students do this. There is no aircraft attached to the office of the prime minister in the UK - he travels on British Airways (BA). And the same goes for the Royals. The Queen does not have an aircraft for her exclusive use.

300 OLD DISEASE:ORIGIN OF BLACK MAN MENTALITY

The first black man arrived Virginia in 1619, then the blacks were initially treated as indentured servants. After period of service, they were free to go  work their own land. But by 1681, laws were passed to legalize slavery. From then on Africa became the world’s greatest “Manufactures of Slaves”.

 So for almost 200 years, Africans have been wearing the chains of slavery, on the legs, hands and as decorative necklace of labour.

  

Thereafter came the era of independence. By sheer strategy of misdirection, the chains were removed after much complaint. Please note, the chains were not broken. It was simply removed from hands, legs and neck and embedded in the brain.

Ever since, the black mind has been struggling to understand itself. But since the black mind inadvertently was the disease itself, it has become an almost  futile surgical exercise to free the diseased mind.

Perception 101

Nigerian Dream Community  Logo

The stupendous self inflicted ignorance evident in our society today, is to say the least, very embarrassing. It is an irony,  that our forefathers’ primitive and illiterate society seemed to have handled their affairs more intelligently, better than this so called ICT compliant generation. Despite  all of these, we are still walloping from one conflict to another, inhumane vices and of recent national ineptitude as is the case with Nigeria.

 
Our leaders have become opportunistic greedy models, rather than institutions of principles, responsibility and accountability. And the shame of it all is that the populace loves it that way. This is most evident in the way and manner we excuse their habits.

Like Benjamin Franklin once reflected, “Too much talk cannot fill a bushel”. As Nigeria attains another dooming grey hair, as i begin this maiden voyage towards setting the mind free from existing chains of ignorance.

May we be direct enough to tickle and provoke the worthy mind.  Bon Voyage!
