Grammywinner:
Good day Fam! I go by the name Macquis. I studied Philosophy and graduated from the University in the year 2014, went for the compulsory youth service in the year that followed. Ever since then, getting a job has been quite a tale for another day. By the way, I graduated with a 2.1. I've applied for a number of jobs but haven't been able to secure any.

I really don't understand, maybe it's as a result of the course I studied in the University. I keep suspecting that though, not entirely sure. The purpose of creating this thread anyway is to seek the guidance of Nairalanders who may have been in my shoes as regards studying my course (Philosophy) or known someone, preferably a Nigerian, who studied my course. I would like to know the sought of jobs I should apply for or better still the Industry where my skill and degree would be best appreciated.

Thanks for checking out this thread. Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

My brother don't let anyone talk you down coz you read a particular course, your doing well in life is a function of what you can do. The question is how have you prepared yourself in what you can do? What are your skills? I was doing well as a practicing pharmacist but I didn't stop there just because I read pharmacy and was practicing it, I took occupational safety courses, got some professional certifications, did an MSc in occupational Safety and Health, did an advance PGD in Epidemiology, took a maritime emergency preparedness and response certificate etc etc. I switched completely to the maritime sector and the pharmacy became an alternative source of income. Some of my friends still ponder and keep asking what is a pharmacist doing in safety n maritime field.

Prepare yourself, get some skills and certifications and no one would even remember you read philosophy.

I went for a particular interview and after engaging the panel in a discussion on my papers and skills, they told me I was over-qualified, that I could only be hired as a management staff bt at d moment dat vacancy is not available so they will hire me as a consultant..... There is nothing like preparing oneself for the future by acquiring skills.

NotOfThis:
They should go for counseling together and try to work on things before divorcing. The husband himself should apologize and try his best to change. If that doesn't work, then parting would be the best solution. I will never encourage a woman to stay with an unrepentant cheat.

My dear about 90% of men cheat, bt as long as they are not caught, they remain saints/innocent....na only who dem catch na him be cheat!

To the married couples in the house, how much is sufficient to give your wife monthly for feeding. it is just the both of us, no children yet.

Not going to use this as my bench mark, i just want to know what the average is like.

Have a decent communication with ur wife concerning ur feeding, (different formulae for different ppl).
My wife doesn't like d fix amount for feeding so she makes a list n tells me, dear I need 12k to go to d market. Sometimes 15k, sometimes 5k. Etc. So d amount varies from month to month. Some months 30k, some 10k, some 50k....it depends on Wat kind of food or soup or how many visitors we received.

Pls anyone with these items for sale shud contact me urgently:
1. RUNNING BOARD
2. SILVER CHROME (front)
For Hyundai Tucson 2013 model.

I guess that is your custom clearance certificate if the content was directed to the NCS

Ok. Thanks.

nurey:
I have not seen the paper before but it is supposed to be a certificate or so. Is it from Hyundai or a big car dealer?

From hyundai dealer in Lagos. The paper is on letter headed paper.

Nigeria is a sick country and the public office holders are a virus to the citizens, I am combing the market for AH-64D Apache Long Bow chopper which I intend to rid this nation of the virus.


Nice one.
Pls how does d clearance on new cars from the dealer look like? New cars dat don't have custom papers. Is it just a typed paper? Hyundai gave me 'to whom it may concern' on their letter headed paper. Though I haven't encountered Custom officers on d road.

TOTAL RUBBISH LIST!!!
WHEN WILL IT GET INTO THIS OYIBO BRAINS THAT THE ERA OF SLAVERY IS GONE AND BURIED?
THEY JUST HAVE BIAS FOR NIGERIA! OUR YOUTHS GO TO FOREIGN SCHOOLS AND DUST THEIR PROFESSORS WITH HOME-GROWN INTELLIGENCE BY EMERGING OVERALL BEST, SOLVING ACADEMIC PROBLEMS UNSOLVED FOR AGES, GRADUATING IN POSTGRADUATE WITH FIRST CLASS AND DISTINCTIONS. STUDENTS TRAINED IN NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES.
YET THEM GET MOUTH TO TELL US OUR UNIVERSITIES ARE NOT AMONG THE BEST UNIS IN AFRICA AND IN THE 1000 UNIS ON EARTH!!!
TO HE.LL WITH THEIR RANKINGS.


Some years ago, I was a Consultant Engineer to a FG Project at the FCT and other states. Could you believe that the so called Foreign Engineers they brought from Germany, UK, India and China where learning the work from we the Nigerian Engineers?
Then I was even a young Engineer not even COREN-Certified at that time self. Yet those foreigners couldn't know jack more than us that were trained here.

Bro I understand your view but the truth is so many factors are considered in doing this ranking and Nigerian schools come short of many of these factors. I have schooled here and abroad and I can tell you that the difference is just too clear, you can't even compare the two. How many of our schools are I.T compliant? How many have online libraries where one can access peer-reviewed articles and ebooks? What is the Students to professor ratio of our schools? Over there I had all my professors' phone numbers and emails, a Prof has only 48hrs to respond to a student's email.. a Prof calls you by first name (he is not a god to students unlike here in naija). Whatever you don't understand, you can email ur Prof and get clarifications.
Though our schools are ill-equiped doesn't mean Nigerian students are not intelligent nor cannot do well, No! Far from it but the truth is foreign schools are well equipped and made very conducive for learning.

Godmother:
Its never easy, especially in the first few weeks after they are born. You and wifey can make up by working with your son's timetable; sleep when he sleeps and stay awake when he does. Hopefully he adjusts soon so thinks can go back to normal. Sorry.

Yea..we will try working out his timetable.. Many thanks.

Happy birthday beautiful princess!!!! 1st of many happy years in life by God's grace. May God keep u baby Akela. CHeerS! Weldone mama tata @tatacherie
AlphaT1 dnt worry he's most likely to change pattern soon. At least he sleeps during d day; my son never did, day or night n he's 15m now n we'r all doing great so I guess we learn to cope n adjust. Weldone to ur wife

Thanks

My beautiful boy is 3 weeks old, he doesn't sleep at night at all; only for abt 30min to hour if you carry him but sleeps all through the day. It has not been easy especially on my wife! Chaiii.

Keep on dreaming

MMM haters keep hating as you watch painfully as we smile to the banks. Hate till you die hating.... Abi na dream we still d dream?

CaroLyner:
No.Its her decision to make

You are definitely single. Bt when you do get married, ensure your husband knows everything you wish to do (open communication). And ur hubby should do same. "the two shall become one". If he loves ur hair n wakes up to see it no more, some lady out there will keep hers for him!

Worriedwife:
This issue has been disturbing me, I had to create a new id to get advice 'anonymously', maybe someone else who has gone through this can help. My husband's dress sense is poor, his shoes look like weapons...pointed mouth with very heavy soles. His colour combination is something else. He is a good-looking young man but dresses like an old man.

It makes me not to find him sexy, even his boxers look like soccer shorts.
Whenever we go out, people look at him like he's my gate man. The other day, we went to visit some family friends and someone there said, we don't look like we came out from the same house.

You know how people can be, news have been going around that I am spending all his money on myself while he goes about tattered. My in-laws are also part of the rumour mongers. I have tried to teach him, but he's not ready to learn. Before the usual didn't you know when you married him questions, I knew. He kept saying I am just a girlfriend and I want to change him. Now I am his wife, he still won't change.

Please, what can I do? Won't it be rude if I throw his old wears away?
We recently moved to PH, I don't know my way around yet. Things look expensive here, where can I shop at a fair rate?
I need practical solutions. Thank you all

This is a simple issue my sister. My wife does my shopping. Most times we go together but whenever I am not chanced she goes alone. She selects my shoes, clothes, boxers etc and I do the payment. We decide on what to wear even before the day comes and if it's an impromptu outing she chooses what I would wear. She has a very good taste and dress sense far above me. Gradually I have learnt and sometimes I choose just what she wud have chosen for me, this even makes her very happy. Jst dont put it to his face arrogantly or rudely. Go shopping with him, select his clothes and tell him how nice they (clothes) wud look on him. Appreciate him creatively, e.g Oh darling dat blue native with red design looks wonderful on you, I luv seen you in it especially with that black loafers (shoes), pls can you wear it tomorrow to church/mosque. Gradually he will completely accept you choosing his clothes. Remember it's a gradual process.
Gudluck.

Catalin:
Men love sex, for you husband to suddenly lose interest in having sex with you means that he might be cheating.

You need to confirm if your husband is cheating.

I doubt if you are married... Your statement jst sounds like that of boys and girls.

I know I have suffered in their hands many times in the past but this particular problem was due to the continously scarcity of Aviation fuel

They are just using that one to cover up their poor services.. Very very useless airline. Dem don show me pepper on three different occasions (twice in 2014 and once in 2015), what would you say was the reason then?

I don't just buy into this vague calculus theorem of the so called provost to deny this girl her admission. Lecturers are so smart in formulating excuses in cover up of their partiality. Whichever way u solve the equation, this girl deserve a place in the merit list

Very insightful and clear explanation. Thank God for my late dad (an academic) who understood these "matrixes" and guided me well. Most candidates just choose any university without an understanding of its catchment areas. If she had chosen Delsu, UniBen, UniPort or NDU (her catchment areas) she would have had an automatic offer. I wanted to go to Unilag but my dad guided me that my catchment areas were A.B.U, UniJos, KEFFI, Kogi etc so I chose A.B.U (first choice) and UniJos (2nd choice). I got A.B.U's merit list (with a JAMB score of 274). The painful reality is those ones from educationally disadvantaged States that get admission with score of 180 while you with 250 is denied admission.

MMM guys should stop comparing banks with that stupid scheme. Bank didn't pay u cash doesn't mean it can't give you your money. A lots of bank are migrating customers to ADC. If you are refused cash at the counter kindly do a transfer via your app or ATM and see if the transaction won't be processed. MMM is gone for good and the earlier u guys get it the Less numbers of heart failure next year.

Come January 14, 2017 you will be the one to suffer heart failure as mmm participants will dance to the banks! Watch out haters.

This nigga is the biggest scam artist of Nigeria. Robbed his people blind, went to jail, gonna fly private J back home, and still get a reception organised by the governor for him. This man's name should be changed to James Robin Ibori

Bros, I am not exonerating him but Ibori is a hero in Delta State any day anytime, in fact if the law pardons him to contest for a position again, he would win with a landslide. He transformed his home town (Oghara) from a slum to a semi-urban ( airtel zonal office, private university, a teaching hospital, Navy town, tarred Streets, electricity etc). He touched almost every community in Delta State. All the roads u see in d state today were done by him. He operated a chop give your broda kind of govt (him d chop give d youth, agberos, market women etc) hence his being loved. He brought d rotational system of governorship amongst the different tribes; He is Urhobo, he anointed Uduaghan (Itsekiri), anointed Okowa (Delta Igbo, which wud never have been possible ordinarily).
