Some of the rules indicate as follows… Per our investigations, one of the reasons for this rule is the tendency of students to hide prepared notes, answers, and other foreign materials in their socks to avoid being caught and end up taking them into the exam halls at the blind side of invigilators. The directive further indicated that 2023 BECE candidates cannot enter the examination hall with wristwatches or mobile phones, earphones or earpieces, or any electronic gadgets.

He took the list and studied it very well and smiled. “Haha my guy, am sure this list is suggesting that the lady becomes your personal property after marrying her. Why should you pay your in-laws at the end of the month and fuel their car for them? Ah this is nonsense. It has no meaning.

 And Use Them To Grow Vegetables At Home According to the Environmental Protection Agency, "when food decomposes in a landfill, methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is emitted." That's why it is important to try and reduce food waste by finding new ways to utilize the peels, cores, and other components of fruits and vegetables that we usually throw out. For example, you can revitalize your garden with just a few banana peels. Just like the inside of a banana is good for you, the outside is good for the earth. The various minerals present in banana peels, like calcium, phosphorus, and potassium, mean they make for excellent fertilizer. It's also incredibly simple to turn them into plant food. Throughout your week as you snack on bananas and use them to make incredible banana bread, collect your peels in a reusable bag until you're ready to fertilize. Then, slice up the peels, making sure to remove any fruit stickers that may be attached to them. Toss the chopped peels...

  DON'T BRING ME PROBLEM BRING ME SOLUTION  The “bring me a solution” approach can also cause employees to shut down in fear, breed a culture of intimidation, and prevent some problems from surfacing until they’re full-blown crises. Consider the example of one of my clients, James (not his real name), who is the president of a company working on a disruptive service in his industry. He often has an unpleasant reaction when staff raises problems. His team members told me that if they raise an issue or risk, James often hears failure and reacts by losing his temper and raising his voice. The outbursts hurt morale and often cause his team members to lose enthusiasm toward projects and become hesitant to mention problems to James. As a result, James’s team only provides him with good news about initiatives they’re working on, leaving James blind to any potential issues. They also spend a lot of time in each other’s offices, licking their wounds after James’ outbursts, instead of b...
