They are original and I might even keep them in the museum. I know my kids ain't gonna wear them though they are beautiful shoes. I'm talking about a handcrafted shoe made by me. The journey began August last year in Ibadan. I started apprenticeship with a shoe firm and ended it early December. I had to put money together and waited till April to start apprenticeship with another firm in Lagos. It was an eye opener. Almost anything in Lagos is for a fee. 😂. I finished within the space of a month and returned to Ibadan May 1st. Prior to last week, I have not made any shoe aside the ones I did during training. So, I had to pull the bull by the horn and make a footwear for myself. Here are pictures of my jean shoe. I hope you will love and even patronize me. Pm me if interested. It goes for an affordable fee. \n\n![IMG-20180827-WA0007.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfKQTGcZghVcGzKq2UEa3FpxSBJXLuKBraoe6iPRhNvBr/IMG-20180827-WA0007.jpg)\n\nA portrait of my Jean shoe\nSource: mine\n\n![IMG-20180826-WA0004.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVLRCQnah9mr9saBmgj9Xj4qvDTGhF6a5pqqEGj7woDR7/IMG-20180826-WA0004.jpg)\n\nA picture of me wearing it at an alumni event\nSource: mine\n\nThanks for reading.

      "body": "It all began during the 2001 award night when Florentino Perez passed on a piece of paper to this gentleman. The word reads, \"do you want to play for real Madrid\"? And the swift response was a Yes. Of course, it's every players dream to want to play for Real Madrid; which is arguably the best team of the century. The hunger for more trophies, and attacking football is a norm in the Real empire. Past victories mean absolutely nothing to them. And to play for this club, one has to be in his highest level. The demand for excellence is second to none as it shows in their attitude both in recruiting not just players; but the very best players, and playing attacking football. That is why a defensive minded coach might win a Champions league trophy and He'll still be shown the exit door. Over the past two decades, Real has had more than fourteen coaches coach them. The reason being that as a coach, you can't end a season in real Madrid trophyless. They are not patient in that regard. There is basically no room for error. And the players are not left out. You have to consistently be in form. If Real finds a better player than you in your position, sorry, you are gone. Remember Robinho? He was replaced with Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009. So, this gentleman went on to sign for Real Madrid as the then most expensive footballer in late 2001. He wore the famous No. 5 shirt. That was a prophecy that he was going to be involved directly or indirectly in winning five Champions league trophy. \n\nThe Man; Zidane\n\nBefore coming to real Madrid, he had won major trophies for France both in the 1998 world cup and Euro 2000, but was not as successful in winning the Champions league. Let me state this, that there are two dreams of every footballer. The first is to win the world cup trophy. The second is to win the Uefa Champions league. He had won on other stages but needed to take a bold step in fulfilling the second part of every players dream. So, he signed for Real Madrid at a fee of €77.5 million. \n\n![IMG_20170709_193727_678.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYZYJcMFDGUmKw9pLVJXG1w3eqj2KmFxe6NRKPNhtc2Dg/IMG_20170709_193727_678.jpg)\n\nZidane being unveiled by Florentino Perez\n\nThe Madrid journey\n\nHe was an instant fit at Real as He dominated possession with his style of play. He was definitely the kind of player real wanted. In his first season, he went on to win the trophy that have so eluded him; the uefa champions league. He won in style scoring the winning goal with the weaker foot. The goal is still acclaimed to be one of the best Champions league goal in history. That was the first champions league trophy and Real's ninth champions league trophy. He won it as a player. But he retired in 2006 after four more years of winning it unsuccessfully as a player. He then took a break from football and went for a coaching course. He returned to coach the youth team; Real Madrid Castilla. For me, he was not as impressive as I would like him to. Real's long awaited dream of winning the tenth champions league trophy; which they termed \"La decima\" became the drive for a new decade. The last time they laid hold of the trophy was 2002. Then, after the sacking of Mourinho in late 2013, Ancelloti took the reins of power as the new Real manager. He asked the castilla coach to assist him. Then came the tenth champions league title in 2014. The former player turned assistant coach has won it the second time. But Real's unforgiven nature caught up with Ancelloti in 2015 as he was shown the exit door for winning no trophy and he was replaced with Rafael Benitez; a strict fellow. Benitez spent half of the season and was quickly replaced with this assistant coach in January 2016. He went on to win the trophy three times in a row; a no mean feat at all. He had just spent two and a half years. After winning it in 2016, people accrued it to luck on his path. Then, he won it back to back, people said he was not a spectacular coach. Then, he won it the third time in a row, it was then the football world changed their mind and started respecting him. He had won it once as a player, once as an assistant coach, and three times as a coach; five times in all. I give to you the Man; Zidane. \n\n![IMG-20180528-WA0017.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRtkuY9ZcRQEW1BKUhBkFXRTC9zqob4FzMdofG7Q1wkfN/IMG-20180528-WA0017.jpg)\n\nOne of the laughable quotes on social media",

      "body": "A True Story\n\nA parent came to me concerning her child. She was lamenting on the effort she has put in in ensuring her child gets better by the day all to no avail. While she was communicating with us, we sent for the child. On his arrival, we asked the child what was wrong and what else should be done so as to improve his performance. Then, he mentioned extra lessons. Right from within, I spoke out; you don't need extra lessons, but a change of attitude towards studies and life. I even told his Mum to remove him from the one he currently attends. Why such a response? Follow me and you will find out why.\n\n![read-316507__340.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaTCpqtL4sQMSTjRDhppTkpH3B4629qRZLFc9BkYuTLkv/read-316507__340.jpg)\n\nSource: Pixabay\n\nAs an experienced teacher, I've come to find out that teaching over a long period of time without pausing to take a break can be very devastating on the students. At that point, the brain is at its peak of assimilation. So, adding extra lessons or classes at such point won't add up at all. That is why more students remain the same or worse even with extra lessons. The brain is saturated at that point and needs rest. If you have been careful to observe, you will find out students do better in the early hours of the day as against latter hours. So, adding extra lessons at that point will look like you pouring water into a vessel that's already filled. It will just be pouring out and get wasted. \n\nLet me be very loud and clear, extra lessons won't help for an average child but will do for an extremely bright child. I'll explain. What the average child needs is pay more attention to what he has already been taught at school. If he can't do that, how do expect him to comprehend what's been taught at extra lessons? I remember about four weeks back when we called for a water tanker to supply us water. They came, filling the two tanks but was unable to fill the third because they couldn't access it with a ladder. The whole of that extra water was apparently wasted because there was no extra vessel to put it in. Remember the parable of the three servants? Yes!!!! That's exacting what I'm talking about. To him who has, more will be given. To him who has not, the one he has will be taken from him. So, loading that average kid with extra lessons won't have any effect. To those who have used their brains well, extra lessons can do. But to those still struggling with school work, it's a no-no. \n\nSo, what really works? \n\n![mother-3229585__340.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaV6CJfDJTcNS293MPGoZxy29xQMFXYEheu22mLpR6RgW/mother-3229585__340.png)\n\nSource: Pixabay\n\nI can tell you what works because I was there in the early stages of my schooling. What works is that parents should take it upon themselves to read with their children no matter how busy they are. If both parents are busy, then set a timetable to alternate who will be reading with the child everyday or weekends. That is what works. That was how I improved as a kid then. I understand what parents do, they think making their kids or ward attend extra lessons is going to take the burden of revising with their child off them. Remember the words of Jesus in John 10 about the shepherd and the hireling. The good shepherd (which in this case is You as a parent) gives his life for the sheep. You have the love and emotions towards your child which he or she can never get from an extra lesson. The hireling (which in this case is the teacher) will only try his or her best in the convenient way. And if it is not working, will turn away. Some times, what those kids require might just be you expressing your love and affection towards them. \n\nMotivating them and telling them they can can also go a long way. No matter how dull (no child is dull) a child is, never affirm that situation. Instead, call out what you want to see in your child and keep affirming him. You will see him rise like never before. Words can build. Words can also destroy. Never affirm what is negative in the life of your child. Appreciate the good things you see in them, the good things you see them do, and warmly correct them on the things they did wrong (don't hesitate to use the rod though if needed). As a teacher, I use the rod but with caution so as not to pay hospital bills (Laughs). Rewarding them when they are in the right is a good form of motivation too, but should outgrow it when they are matured. So, what is the use of extra lessons, you may ask? \n\nThe real reason for extra lessons\n\nEarlier this year, when we selected our brightest students to represent us in the Cowbell mathematics competition, we picked a JSS II student to complete the junior category, and a SSS I student to complete the senior category. In both cases, both students are intelligent but have not covered the syllabus for the respective stages. Even the other students need extra tutoring at that point. So, the mathematics teacher decided to have extra lessons as early as 6:30am for all of them. Guess what? It worked. They were grabbing it faster than others would have. The reasons for extra lessons should be the following:\n\nI. To prepare students (excellent students) for external competition\nII. To cover up or complete the topics not yet completed\nIII. To stretch the intelligent minds. They are very good, they can be better. \n\nFor the second point I gave, there are some subjects that can be difficult to finish the schemes. Chemistry and Mathematics are examples of such subjects. And SSS II scheme can also be difficult to complete too because students just have first term in SSS III to learn. From second to third term, exams begin. So, in SSS II/III, extra lessons can be introduced at that point. It would make sense. So, answer the question; does your child need an extra lesson?",
