1- Good evening my friends in EKSU and students from every other campus following this weekly chat. The ASUU strike is an opportunity to do some things that can advance your career.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
2- The two weeks window is an opportunity to finish that online course, read a book that would broaden your mind about your career and very importantly, cover up your school notes.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
3- Our discussion tonight will be based on CREATIVE WRITING. Creative writing is a talent and can also be a skill.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
4- The importance of the skill cannot be overemphasized in today's world where almost all opportunity is gated by articles.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
5- The art of telling a story has become a gold mine today that can fetch you millions of naira because many opportunities solely depend on your writing abilities to get grants.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
6- An example is the former pattern of the application for @TonyElumeluFDN. There are still many opportunities that require your ability to write creatively like @WashFellowship

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
7- Now, let me give a quick list of how you can develop your writing skill:

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
8- Write: A writer is not someone that loves to write or someone that talks about writing. A writer is a person that writes. If you want to develop your writing skill, write!

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
9- Read: There is a form of pitching that is done via text. This engages the power of telling a story. Read about this kinds of pitches online and see how words can be used to prove that a business or career pursuit is worth investing in.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
10- Test Yourself: I learned from @gbengaogun at the maiden edition of @IBTechConnect that one of the best ways to test if your idea is valid is to engage in competitions. Push yourself into the field.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
11- You may not get it at first, but there is no way you would know if you have gotten it if you don't engage in a competition.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
12- Lastly, take a training. Philantropy University has a lot of free courses on creative writing. You can get it done before ASUU calls off the strike.

I hope you have learnt something today. Till next week, keep advancing your career!

1- Trust it's a pleasant evening for everyone. I'm glad to be back for another time to discuss career as it pertains to students in the higher institution. Our gospel has always been "START YOUR CAREER ON CAMPUS"

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
2- And we discuss different topics as they relate to our core discussion. Today, I will be sharing on a very interesting topic. "How your country of residence affects your career growth".

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
3- Considering the metamorphosis that has happened to Twitter Nigeria in the last one year, I'm sure you must have seen a lot of arguments about the state of our dear country.

1- Yes! It's time to learn again. Good evening my friends in EKSU and other schools. It's time to learn about how to maximize your studentship to boost your career.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
2- We have discussed many things that can help students get ahead while still on campus, but today, our discussion will be for students with business ideas and how to pitch to get investors to fund the business.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
3- It is a skill you have to master as it is not all the time the opportunity to pitch will come bearing the name "Idea Pitch". Sometimes, you find yourself in it before you realize it. So, you must always be prepared.

1- Here we go again this night with another mind blowing session on how to start your career journey from campus.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
2- Like I always say, your career is not a job, but a journey. If you start from campus, it will be easier for you to climb the rungs of your chosen field.

#EKSUNews
#CareerTipsForStudents
3- A lot of graduates today are searching for any job that comes their way because they did not start a career journey from campus.

Good evening, Threadnought - New Filing!

This one's another notice of appearance. I don't usually livetweet these, but I've got a couple of things to say about this one.
This is yet another lawyer entering on Vic's side - Michael Martinez of Martinez Hsu.

What follows is my speculation, along with my reasoning.

tl:dr -
I think Ty is fired in all but name, and I think Nick is probably mostly out of the inner circle.

After 10 years (!) as director of our graduate program in clinical psychology @uarizona I've gone back to being a "regular" professor. I had a long list of tips I used to pass along to students for having a successful run in graduate school; here are a few of the favorites... /1
4. Quantitative skills will advance your career in many, many ways. Think of yourself as double-majoring in clinical psychology and methodology. It’s not enough to know statistics. You should know methodology and measurement issues as well. /2
...Each year, take one special, outside statistics training program. Here’s an idea: Collaborate with a graduate student in math. Become deeply knowledgeable about the Open Science movement. /3

Today marks 20 years since the 1999 Iranian student uprising. Known in #Iran by its “ground zero” as “The Disaster of the Ku-ye Daneshgah Dormitories”, the uprising - sometimes likened to 1989 #Tiananmen Square protests in China - carries great historical significance.
THREAD /1
The background: on July 7, #Iran’s judiciary - using a new, tougher Press Bill - ordered the closing of daily Salâm, which had since 1991 criticized conservatives in power. Salâm was then considered one of numerous pro-reform #newspapers that since 97 election of Khatami … /2
… had exposed #corruption, #injustice, #inequality + demanded transparency, justice. The banning of Salâm + new law to curb #pressfreedom - marked beginning of hardliners’ campaign to crush the blossoming civil society and political mobilisation connected with #reformism. /3

ILL FATE

>Mr Deji, if you're found guilty I'm not sure of what the judge's verdict will be, but its either you'll be away for life or it'll be death by hanging.

>The economic downturn in the country affected everyone, millions of citizens lost their jobs even those with the most secured employments. The prices of goods skyrocked and more poor citizens were made in just a few years.
Families that managed their previously gained income to survive were relegated to the lowest class any society could have, and some even lost their families.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...
