Talebearing24- A patient dog eats the fattest bone.

Once upon a time, there lived two sisters who were twins. They were living with their parents who were poor. Their parents struggled everyday to make both ends meet. Their father was full of wisdom and he always created time to counsel his daughters about the need to be patient in whatever they were doing. He talked to them about so many other virtues, like tolerance, endurance, good behaviour and he always ended his talks with a saying that "whoever had patience had everything". When these twins were eighteen years old, their father died. They felt greatly the impact of their father's demise because they lost a good companion who also counselled them and a breadwinner. Soon after the death of their father, their mother found things difficult. As a result of this, she took the twins to her distant relation who was living a few kilometers away.Their mother's relation accepted them but he was a cruel man who maltreated the girls so much. They were to do all the house chores at home and followed the man to the farm. While they worked so hard at home, the man's only daughter would sleep endlessly. She was very lazy and spoilt. One day, Rachael, the man's daughter went to the man's room and stole four thousand naira. The man was so furious and called the twins to his parlour. He concluded that it was the twins who must have stolen the money. They were beaten and punished heavily for the money they didn't take. The hard life and suffering continued for a long time. One day, Kehinde called her twin sister, Taiwo and told her that she wanted to run away to their mother. Taiwo reminded her that she should be patient as their late father used to tell them when he was alive. Kehinde refused to listen to her sister's advice, and soon after, she ran back to their mother. When she got home, she couldn't continue her education because there was no money. She got married when she was twenty-one to a poor man who couldn't take good care of her. Soon after their marriage, their mother also died. Taiwo felt the grief of her mother's death and she determined more than ever before to be patient to get what she wanted. She finished her secondary school and gained admission into a University to study Accountancy. As time went on, the man she was living with grew to like her and he decided to sponsor her education at the University. Rachael, the biological daughter of the man, had dropped out of secondary school and she had become a wayward and virtue-less girl without a bright future. Taiwo finished her University education and graduated as an Accountant. Three years after her graduation, she got married to a pilot and she lived happily with her husband. After her marriage, she got a job with an international organization which necessitated that she should go and work in the United State of America. Before she traveled to the United State of America, a send-off party was organised for her. The man who sponsored her to school was invited to the party. Rachael and kehinde were also present at the party. When the man rose up to talk about Taiwo, he praised her for her endurance and patience. He ended his speech by saying that "I really agree that a patient dog eats the fattest bone".

Talebearing24-Sow wind and reap whirlwind.

Once upon a time, there lived a man called Chief Olowolayemo. He was a rich man who was highly respected in his town. Chief Olowolayemo had two wives. The name of the first wife was Phebe Ademosun while the second and younger one was Ebun. Chief Olowolatemo married the first wife when he was poor. Phebe was a loving wife, who loved her husband and struggled hard with her husband to acquire money. She had seven children for Chief Olowolayemo, six of whom were girls and the last was a boy. It was because it took her a long time to have a male child that her husband decided to marry Ebun, his second wife. Ebun was the daughter of the great herbalist in the town of Ilugun. Ebun’s father was famous for bad medicines and charms. When she became Chief Olowolayemo’s wife, Ebun was about eighteen years old while the first wife was twenty-nine. Phebe, the chief’s first wife accepted Ebun as her wife and always took care of her when she newly came into the family. At the time Chief married Ebun, Phebe had five children. The first wife despite the fact that her husband was fed up with her after having five female children, was a pleasant woman who embraced Ebun and extended hands of fellowship to her. Before too long, Ebun became pregnant and had her first child who happened to be a male child. Chief Olowolayemo was very happy after waiting for so long to have a male child. The first wife in her normal character regarded the arrival of the male child as an open way for her to have her own. Thus, she named the child Adesina. Adesina grew up to love his father’s eldest wife because the woman showed no inhibition in loving him. To cut the long short, Ebun had three boys for her husband and the eldest wife had six female and one male children. Chief Olowolayemo was trying his best to share his love between the two wives. The first wife in her characteristic manner showed love and affection for Ebun, the junior wife. The children were growing up in the same family. They were attending schools. The children of the first wife were more brilliant in the school than the children of the second wife. The most brilliant of all the children was the last male child of the first wife called Oluomo. This always annoyed the second wife who became unhappy with her three children. She always scolded them and made remarks that their younger brother was acknowledged to be more brilliant than they. As a result of this, she decided to complain to her father. She visited her father and when she told him her fears of the effect that Oluomo would be more popular than her three male children, she demanded that her father should give her poison to kill Oluomo. She collected the poison and headed home. When she got home, she decided to poison Oluomo’s food. The second week after this, it was her turn to prepare food for the whole family. She prepared a good meal and poisoned Oluomo’s food which she kept on a table where he could see it to eat. When the children closed from school, Adesina, Ebun’s first child rushed home ahead of others. On getting home, he met nobody in the house and he was hungry. He started searching the kitchen for food. The first plate of food he saw on the table was the food his mother had poisoned and meant for Oluomo. He took the food and ate hurriedly. Soon, after eating, he started feeling stomach-ache and before long, he started rolling on the floor, writhing in pains. As this was happening, the other children came into the house. They were crying for help when the two wives and Chief Olowolayemo came in. The wicked woman rushed in crying while others were trying to rush the boy to the hospital. Ebun could no longer contain the situation and she began to cry out: ‘’I have killed my son, I don’t know it will end like this’’. When they heard this, the sympathisers who gattered forced her to explain. After listening to her dastardly story, her husband sent her packing. She begged for pity but her husband said: ‘’get away wicked wife, you reap what you sow’’.

Talebearing24- Had I Known he was that kind of a person, I wouldn't have gone out with him.

I met Peter in a birthday party of one of my family friends, the Nwaifors. Tinyan, who was my intimate friend, was celebrating her twentieth birthday and I had gone there since in the morning on that day to rejoice with her. I noticed Peter Nwadolor when he arrived in company of his friends, John and Paul. I was charmed by the rousing welcome accorded him and his friends by my friend and other members of the family. Tinyan introduced him to me as her cousin and we shook hands. Peter struck me as a man with great comeliness. He was finely cut with pleasant eyebrows and well-arranged set of teeth. His handsomeness came to the fore when he smiled. Soon after the introduction, he gave Tinyan a fat envelope which contained money and asked my friend’s junior sisters to go and bring the gifts he brought from his car downstairs. ‘’He must be a rich man’’, I said to my friend ‘’Well, he is comfortable’’. Tinyan replied. ‘’He is a young promising business man’’ she added. I kept quiet and I struggled hard to concentrate on what I was doing. There was no doubt that I had already fallen in love with Peter. But soon after Peter was introduced to me, he called my friend and told her that he was going somewhere and that he would come back in thirty minutes’ time. Around 7.00pm in the evening, the party started and people began dancing. By this time, Peter had not come back and I decided that I would not dance with anybody until he came. I was moody and at certain times, I went into my friend’s room to sleep on her bed. When it was 11.30pm, Peter arrived with his friends, dressed in a big flying ‘’agbada’’. He now looked like a rich businessman than a mere struggling boy that I had seen in the afternoon. He smiled broadly at me when it was my turn to shake his hands and I reciprocated willingly with a broad smile. I was very happy when Peter requested me to dance with him. We had a pleasant time together that night and we later became lovers. I was in love with him and though he lavished a lot of gifts and affections on me, he refused to take me to his home. I asked Tinyan several times whether her cousin was married and she told me, each time I asked that she was sure that Peter was not married. I pestered Peter several times to take me to his house but he only promised he would do that when it was time. Since I didn’t want this to break our relationship, I stopped pestering him. My joy knew no bounds one day when Peter told me that the next week end he would come to pick me to his house. The Saturday he promised I woke up early to get ready for his arrival. He came and we soon arrived at his duplex. He took me to his bedroom and I was undressing myself when three giant men rushed in and seized me. They tied me with a rope. While this was happening, I didn’t see Peter. He came in later with an old man who looked fearful with charms all over his body. He made some incantations after which he went out of the room with Peter. After some time, the three men who tied me and shaved my hair came in and started loosening the rope. They set me free and led me through the back door with a threat that I would lose my life if I discussed my ordeal with anybody. I came to know that Peter was a kidnapper who got his wealth from fetish means. ‘’Had I known that he was that kind of a person, I wouldn’t have gone out with him’’.

Talebearing24-Honesty is the Best Policy.

Mr. David Greg is a man who is highly esteemed and respected by his friends and colleagues. His well-known alias is ‘’Honesty’’ because his reaction to every fraudulent incident in the bank where he is working is ‘’that it pays to be honest’’. Honesty has become his second name and much of a creed than a mere aphorism of him. He accepts this as a way of life because of the stern and honest parents he had. According to him, his parents instructed him to be honest always in all his dealings and to accept honesty as his guiding principle. As he was growing up, his father usually told him to be honest and shame the devil. His determination to be honest always eventually has made him what he is today, a respected bank executive. David had a little education which did not take him beyond secondary school. He couldn’t go beyond secondary school because his father died while he was in school. Despite his poor background, he decided to be honest and truthful. He was however lucky to get employed in a commercial bank as a messenger. In the bank where he was working, he was well-known as a man who always stood by the truth and whose avowed policy is honesty. ‘’we would not be having cases of fraudulent practices in our banks, if we can all be honest’’, was always his spontaneous reaction whenever there are incidents of fraud in the bank. He had contributed to foiling fraud attempts planned by some of his colleagues either by refusing to conspire with them to steal bank money or by alerting his bosses whenever he was aware of any attempt to defraud the bank. This has earned him a second name and he was popular with it. His honesty paid off one day. One Thursday afternoon, a gang of armed robbers stormed the bank and ordered everybody to lie down and face the ground. The manager of the bank was forced to surrender the key of the vault where the bank’s money was kept. A lot of money was carted away as the robbers collected all the money from the cashiers and the bank’s vault. As the robbers were hurrying away, they forgot to carry along with them three boxes containing millions of naira which they had packed out of the bank and kept at the back of the bank. Two days after the robbery, David saw the three boxes left at the back of the bank and took them while he was burning some rough papers he was asked to burn by his boss. He called the manager and other top members of the bank and took them to where the boxes were dumped. The bank management rewarded David with a promotion to the post of a supervisor and a cash award of one hundred thousand naira. His promotion had since then been rapid and in the last Annual General meeting of the bank, he was honoured with promotion to the post of a manager. When he was invited to mount the rostrum, the Master of ceremony said to him: ‘’he is singled out for this honour and award because he has demonstrated that he deserves the alias ’’Honesty’’. In practical terms, honesty is the best policy.

Talebearing24- What You Need To Know About Physics In WAEC/NECO External

        The result you will obtain in Physics is cumulative like the other subjects that is it would be added together. Don't forget that Physics examination is divided into three major parts, namely; Physics theory, Physics practical and Physics Objectives. If you really and sincerely want to pass Physics at the acceptable and appreciable grade in Private WAEC and NECO, you need to focus majorly on the practical aspect of Physics. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that the other parts are not important but one is more important than the other in terms of marks while it is also very easy to pass if and only if you are tutored or coached by a teacher who knows practicable solutions

to this physics hullabaloo.

      Most students wander how they would pass physics when they find themselves in the hands of half-baked and inexperienced so-called physics teachers. It is not their fault if not because they also want to make ends meet at the expense of the innocent, ignorant and up-coming generation physics students. At the same time, some students are not ready to learn or lazy to learning, but I am assuring you that it is not too late for you to do your physics practical at ease with the sure bet of having your result in it. While there is a problem there is always a solution but the question is how do you find solution to your challenge? Who? Where? When? How? Answer to all these interrogative words is here now! Leave the question alone and grab this opportunity without wasting time, so that you too can be recognized among your colleagues as a problem solver or solution finder when it comes to physics practical to your friend's problems which is highly rewarding. Opportunity comes but once.

Talebearing24- Tips On Mathematics and Some Other Subjects

* Prepare for the examination before the day- sharpen all your pencils and buy your long ruler.

* Keep your examination time-table safely and reachable.

* Dress properly and look nice.

* Go with all your necessary materials needed for each subjects. Don't borrow and don't lend any instrument from any student.

* Go with your Four Figure Table and learn how to use it. Don't take WAEC Four Figure Table to NECO examination or vice versa.

* Be at the centre thirty minutes before the commencement of each subject.

* Go with a wrist watch or clock of any form to the centre- be time conscious in the examination hall

so that you will not be rushing when it is few minutes to the end of the paper. You will be able to plan for your work very well. Take note of the time you are asked to start with the duration of the paper to know when you will stop. Don't wait until the invigilator will tell you when to stop.

* Pray before you are given the paper and asked to start not when you are asked to start that you are now praying, you are wasting your time.

* Listen to the invigilator and obey- start! Start and stop! Stop so that you will not have any cause to beg anybody.

* Read the instructions very well and adhere strictly to them before attempting any question or doing anything.

* Don't talk to anybody in the course of the examination to avoid failure or examination malpractice. Obedience is better than sacrifice.

* OMR Sheet shading - shade very well with the type of pencil required - 2B/HB.

* For part 1 in Mathematics, divide the booklet sheet into halves and write part 1 at the top where you have question, then write the number of the question in the middle of the line and underline before solving the question. For part 2, each question per sheet. This is because the answer booklet may not be enough to answer all the questions so manage your booklet ONLY in Mathematics please!

                                                                                                                       ...wishing you all the best!

Talebearing24- Things To Do To Be A Success In Mathematics

1. Before the Examination

* Having collected your printed examination Photo card,
photocopy or duplicate it into 3 or 4 places so that if one is lost, the rest
will be found. All cannot get lost simultaneously.

* Your Examination Timetable is another great priority. Do not
joke with it. Duplicate it as well and make it reachable at all times when needed.

* Get your writing or drawing materials for the Examination
ready and intact. Do not wait till the day of examination before you sharpen
your pencil.

* Strictly adhere to the examination instructions. For
instance, don't use HB pencil where you are asked to use 2B or vice versa.

* Go to the examination hall with two pens so that when one
disappoints, the other one will not.

2. During the Examination:

* Punctuality/Promptness is the soul of business. Keep to
time-be in the centre thirty minutes before the commencement of the
examination.

* Always check your time-table early in the morning to know
the time the paper for the day will start.

* How you dress determines how you will be addressed. Put on
good clothes while heading to the centre and wear good shoes as well NOT
bathroom slippers.

* Watch your hair-style/hair-do. Simple low cut/hair-do is
advisable NOT dreadlocks or the likes. Any hair-style that will make you look

tout, a gangster, a miscreant, a hoodlum to mention a few.

* Do not go to the examination hall with any incriminating
or implicating material or gadget such as knife, gun, handset, scientific
calculator, palmtop, tablet, and the likes. Obedience is better than sacrifice!

* Interact with other people in the centre with peace and
love. Do not be harsh and unapproachable with the little time you will be
together not up to a month. Don't do what will affect you adversely in any
form. Be warned!

* Write your names, subject, date and year of the
examination in capital letters.

* Always write your registration number or your centre and
candidate numbers on your answer booklet before answering any question.

* Write the number of the questions you had answered in the
course of the examination where necessary in front of the booklet.

* In the answer booklet, there is a caption “Do not write in
the Margin" strictly adhere to this so that you will not be penalized.

3. After the Examination:

* Keep your examination photo card safely, specifically your
centre and candidate numbers because these numbers will be used alongside the
result checker to check your result when the result is out.

* After checking your result with the result checker, keep
the used result checker for the PIN and the serial number.

* Duplicate your printed result into three places in case of
any eventuality.
