  1. So verrissen das Spielen auch sein mag, so ist psychologisch bewiesen worden, dass daddeln, eine gewisse Reife des Spielenden vorausgesetzt, förderlich
    für den Geist des Gamers sein kann. Beim
    Daddeln von Games lernt der Gamer ohne Stress schneller als üblich Urteile zu fällen und zwischen wichtig und unwichtig
    zu differenzieren. Viele Computerspiele vermitteln darüber hinaus noch Basiswissen über Ökonomie und fördern die kognitiven Fähigkeiten des
    Spielers. Auch die verrissenen Multiplayer Games können doch öfters den vorgeworfenen Effekt des Abdriftens in eine virtuelle Realität} invertieren. Der Spielende kann wohl auch einigen wenigen Freaks begegnen, doch findet
    der Spielende öfters genau in seinem Lieblings-Game Gleichgesinnte.

    Alles in allem: daddeln ist genial! Spielen ist Kunst.

  2. u guys are squandering money in the name of sensitization tour, when it is obvious that you are only enriching your pockets. Stop deceiving Nigerians that GIS sure-p is empowering youth. The truth is that the program is only being used to enriched some few individuals at the corridors of power.

    Tell me what happens to the GIS interns or your plans for the GIS interns after the one year. Honestly speaking you dont have any plans for them and yet your are shouting that 180,000 youth will be employed.

    What you do is to take these youth from their comfort zon

  3. Heard something over the radio that sure p is recruiting youth to be trained.
    However, the information was not clear enough to me, so I had logged on to the website with the hope to get the right information but couldn’t see.
    According to what I heard over the radio, it was time bound.
    Can some one please help me because I need to get the full details.

  4. please when is the next phase of sure-p internship recruitment/placement is coming up. What are the application procedures because I have been trying the sure-p application website/platform but all to noavail. Thanks in anticipation.
