BROTHER BERNARD

 Where have morals gone, eh? 🤷🏻‍♂️  I almost fell to the ground while walking home one fateful night.  Next, I heard voices call out, 'BROTHER BERNARD!' They belonged to some kids sitting in front of their mother's shop. Fortunately, I didn't fall. 😅 I staggered, smiled, and moved on without saying a word. However, I shook my head. Perhaps they innocently wanted to have fun. 🙂

ELOQUENT READING

 Eloquent reading is a public speaking skill that should be cultivated. It makes reading fun. When kids perceive that they are good readers, their confidence is boosted. Here is a reading exercise class we, H-Eloquent Diction and Public Speaking Services, had with students of Highscope Schools, Ojodu, two years ago (February 2022). https://youtube.com/shorts/O0yniOAuKYQ?si=IXWkB75V6ALs_OS6 Train your kids to speak right. #reading #pronunciation #diction #children

WORD PRONUNCIATION: TURKEY

Image
 Danda: My uncle in Turkey (TURH-ki) promised to buy me a turkey (toh-KI ) next week. Mom would make stew with it. Bambi: Why did you pronounce the country's name as 'TURH-ki' and the bird's as 'toh-KI'? Danda: Isn't that how it should be? We eat turkey (toh-KI), and Turkey (TURH-ki) is a country. Bambi: They are homonyms. Danda: I wouldn't risk pronouncing that word (homonyms). I could lose a tooth if I try. I'm expecting a turkey (toh-KI) soon and I need my teeth complete. If you know what I mean. Bambi: That's funny. You wouldn't lose any tooth but it's okay. Homonyms are words with the same spelling and pronunciation but different meanings. Danda: Does it mean that the country and animal have the same pronunciation? Bambi: That's it! Danda: So, it's, "My uncle in Turkey (TURH-ki) promised to buy me a turkey (TURH-ki) next year." Interesting! Thank you, Bambi. Bambi: You're welcome! Nelo (Danda's sister) walks...

SUBTLE GROWTH COLLABORATION

Image
 Observe the ways of these people:  Emeka Nobis  Ibe Nnamdi  Mute Efe  Chioma Ifeanyi-Eze  Nelly Agbogu (Naija Brand Chick)  Jamie Pajoel  Ajah Excel  They create a spider web-like connection by leveraging each other's (or other big names') social media influence through tagging, mentioning, reacting to and commenting on each other's posts. This in turn brings them visibility - in addition to what they already have. Here's how it works: Emeka Nobis makes a post (tagging/mentioning Ibe Nnamdi - Emeka Nobis' audience clicks on Ibe Nnamdi's name to check out who he is, and subsequently follows him) - Ibe Nnamdi reacts to/comments on Emeka Nobis' post - Ibe Nnamdi's followers get notified of Ibe Nnamdi's actions on Emeka Nobis' post and curiously goes to see what it's about, and subsequently follows Emeka Nobis. What has happened? Simple! They've both won. Another interesting thing about them is how they tag/mention people (if they know their...

WHAT I KNOW ABOUT LAUNDRY AND DRY-CLEANING SERVICES

Image
 I had wondered how the dry-cleaning/laundry business thrived. The thought that people could get so busy that they wouldn't be able to do their laundry and would even pay for it to be done seemed unrealistic until I worked with a dry-cleaning/laundry firm. This was many years ago. During my time with the firm, 'my eyes were opened' to things I didn't know about the business. Dry-cleaning/laundry service isn't just for people who want to have their laundry done because they are busy. Here are some other reasons people use dry-cleaning/laundry services: " Stubborn stain removal  * Starching and Ironing already washed clothes * Wedding gown maintenance/preservation * To have delicate fabrics cleaned with special solvents (not water). * To clean their mattresses, chairs, rugs, etc. If you need to have any of the above done for you, I strongly recommend KLIIINIQ - a professional cleaning firm. You can also get the following services from KLIIINIQ: * Pests control/fu...
