I wished I knew you, we wouldn't be having this conversation here cos I would be very happy to sue you for false allegation and cyber bullying. But in as much as that is impossible, let me leave you with this: I guess you are not a parent yet but if you are, you and your kids can decide to wear whatever you like, it's your call with all the consequences. But please, when next you see my post that doesn't go well with you, practice the silly advise of 'mind your business'.

So the mind your business is what triggered you and what you referred to as an insult? Mschew, and buhari is a problem for shutting down Twitter after having one of his wrong tweets deleted.. yet you’re doing the same thing.

Grown as men in kids bodies!

Guy you completely need help. And clearly have no idea the shit you’re spitting.

So let me understand you. You want to sue me for pointing out that your nasty (and disgusting) Nigeria habit of having an opinion of someone’s dressing as indirect harrassment (which it is mate).

Guy do you want my full name and address? Send me a DM i will happily use you as example of an Nigerian man that needs to be schooled on what harassment and cyber bullying is.

Please point out where i assumed such

She's going to be a Doctor most likely and would probably have more money than me so that's not the issue here

If she be dangote pikin sef, we must do prenup to avoid stories that touch

Haha ok o! As far as you know that your wife can become richer. Because many men ask for prenups thinking they will always be the rich one.

babajeje123:

First of all, you can air your opinion without direct and indirect insults. Doing that shows maturity and ones ability to engage others intelligently.
Second of all, I disagree that the traditional outfit of Igbos is a short skirt and tube. I hope the Igbos on this platform will correct me if I'm wrong.
Thirdly, wearing skimpy dresses in Nigeria is a problem because it is not part of our culture to dress scantily. Our culture encourages decency and covering of private parts which these skimpy dresses reveal.
It is so wrong of you to say that I harassed women with my post. I don't support harassment of women in any form or shade and it is wrong of you to accuse me of such. If you're in the UK, you can be sued for wrong accusation.

Direct or indirect insults? Me telling you to mind your business or pointing out that you’re indirectly harassing young girls by staring at them and judging their outfit?

Where’s the insult?

Also I’m impressed that you know the traditional outfit of the igbos more than an Igbo woman. Interesting.

[b] Children like to be liked and want to be part of the crowd, not stand out in a political or other different ways [\b]... They also like to talk; usually without filter. A child goes to school and tells classmates that they eat with the hands (not likely going to say fingers), the rest will immediately say that they are primitive and tribespeople like the unclad ones they see in the..

Bullying and racism is worse with children because they cannot be punished that much and it is hard to reason with them like adults - they learn it from home anyway.

Just let the children be - na manage, manage with this country

This is the first thing to teach your child. It’s the first thing I learned growing up. “Just be you. It’s ok to not be liked. Just make yourself happy. Be intelligent, be kind and people will come to you naturally.”

Regex:



Just at my work place though I have quit the place.

One of the bosses there took I and some other black people (Nigerians) to be precise. Gave us the dirtiest hardest job ever, we worked and didn't go for the second break. We were tired, we murmured amongst ourselves that we were tired, I told them when I see the boss I'd ask him to let us have our break, when the boss came, I asked him, instead of these Nigerians to back me up, they kept mute and I thought to myself, if this guy gets mad and decides to fire, he could fire me easily without problem and probably paint me thr bad guy, but the many Nigerians never talked they kept mute.


This is really a problem.

This is the reason why someone said that we don’t deserve better than Buhari. We pretend we care about each other but it’s truly all man for himself.

fatima04:
The worrying thing with schooling here is the bullying as well. A friend of mine said she used to be called a monkey back for taunts as far back as Year 5.

Like raising a child is not hard enough, na raising one to be resilient and having a tough skin is key, so it doesn't damage their confidence or mental health.

Lol god bless the person that would try to bully my child, I will use it as excuse to teach the child taekwando.

Why make the child grow thick skin when they can fight back. That thick skin is what makes Africans endure shit.

hustla:



Well, I've always said this since my 100Level

There is no way I'll marry abroad and not make sure prenup is involved

Life happens, love could turn sour and your partner can decide tomorrow they want to abandon ship.. Prenup will help in that case to avoid stories that touch

Lol this is you thinking your wife can’t be richer than you. I will happily sign prenup so that when my company blows, I won’t share the money with you.

It’s easy for me to want prenups because they think they will always be the wealthy ones- well times have changed. Na me Dey even offer the prenup sef.

Nor am I invested in their choice of lifestyles - just like any parent, I would like them to be conventional obviously, but as long as you're not living in my house, feel free to tattoo yourself from head to toe, pierce the whole of your body, flex the baby mama thing and litter the UK/EU/entire world with your pikins, partner with whoever. I will never kill myself over another person whom I cannot control - mine na to learn how to navigate my way through the ISA, SIPP jungle in preparation for securing sufficient income to live on in old age - that's the only thing within my control.

I really love this. I should learn.

wallg123:
Who said going to university is the key to success especially in the uk ?.

Below are 2 scenarios/Example (Child A and Child B)

Child A goes to university and graduates . He/she is already indebted to the government (student loan). He would find it almost impossible or at least 7/10 years of savings before he can get on the property leader.

On the other hand, Child B goes into an apprenticeship and within 3/4 years he/she has gained experience and possibly is a supervisor/ manager. He has no debt and can quickly get on the property leader.

Child A is searching for suitable jobs but isn’t lucky because he lacks experience. When he finally get a jobs, he meets child B as his supervisor/manager.

In conclusion unless your child is gifted academically, don’t force university into there head just to boost your ego amongst your peers. University doesn’t guarantee success.
These days you can go to university even when you are 80 (obansanjo et al..)

This is sweet and all, but let’s not forget that on average, even with two or three degrees, we will be equated with their average staff. So imagine not having a degree.

Also, degrees speed up promotions. There’s a reason they get to a level and get stagnated while we surpass (irrespective of the slow start).

When I was a student, a 20 year old was my supervisor, after my probation I was asked if I wanted to become a supervisor as well. It too that 20 year old 2-3 years to make super but I was offered it after 6 months.

So it’s not by force to get a degree but please let’s not forget the colour of our skin and how we always have to over-prove ourselves.

babajeje123:

Honestly the aspect of dressing has been worrying me since I got here. I see female kids in skimpy dresses all around and I wonder if they don't have parents. One must be very intentional in raising kids here with a lot of prayers.

I hope you know that the traditional outfit for the Igbos is short skirt and short boob tube. Right?

Wearing skimpy dresses in Nigeria is a problem because those women will get harassed (just like you are doing now- indirectly).

When next you see a “skimpily” dressed person, mind your business.

Na wa ooo. ... that why Nigerians churches have been able to successfully sell the message that for God to bless you , you must bribe by sowing seed or paying tithe . Now our people don't seem to grasp that God grace and love is sufficient and you can serve him not expecting anything back in return or that God can bless you without your tithe or seed. It is well with us and our transactional love

Gospel.

TheGuyFromHR:


Lol.
Apart from family relationships, African man/woman relationships have always been transactional which is why they worked for us, just the way the white man's relationships were before they discovered idleness and had to fill the time with something so invented romance.
This new one of love wey the white man bring come no dey work - even for them, check the divorce rates.
When you go in on a transactional basis - you bring this to the relationship and I bring that, that's fine as long as everyone is happy with the basis for the transaction.

Hahahaha they had to fill the time

LagosismyHome:


It very sad to watch .... we are no longer our brother keeper or genuine love doesn't seem to exist

A lot of relationships are now "transactional " and based on what they can get receive receive receive without intending togive back .....The LEVEL of entitlement is something else that even those who want to help are put off.

Even something as simple as boy and girl relationships is now about what each other can gain and less about love or feelings. The spouse is now a bank/ money manager .

Isn’t that better than loving someone and then they fall out of love, and you’re left with nothing?

I don’t see anything wrong with transactional relationships. Let’s focus on what we can give each other- cleaner and simpler. Even most Christians have a transactional relationship with God, that’s why when the going gets tough, they falter.

We don't get to the stage of slamming the door....... Ring doorbell does the trick......

When they push the bell, you answer, they introduce themselves...... Just tell them you are not home......

No door slamming happened.........

I laughed at this! You’ll tell them you’re not home, lol

So if you don’t have any family member to invite you the question then is.. can you afford to pay for hotel accommodation for a month as a foreign student?

What will you be doing in US or Canada for a month as a tourist?

You should be able to get it, provided you are a student.
Just make sure you’ve got your hotel booking. If you don’t get the visa, read the reason they give you and address it in your next application. Most of my friends for theirs, when I was in uni. I didn’t get mine because I was too stupid to understand that I was resident in the UK; so when I was asked, I picked No. lol.

Marvel4u:
Good evening House, Please I need help with the process in getting a job in the UK with specialty in Public Health or safety. I have a master's in public and a NEBOSH IGC certificate. I'm looking forward to tier 2 visa. I have tried applying for jobs on the NHS website and no reply.
Thanks.

Sorry love, that’s the only option you. Have faith ok.

Has anyone heard from Aphrodite007 and Fatima? It's been a while I saw them here.

I’ve missed you people too

Laajiblik texted me with a screenshot of this message, you needed to have seen how I was blushing. Thank you Dustydee

Got some personal issues to sort out that’s why. I just lost interest in life, and went MIA haha. But I’m fine now.

babajeje123:

I don't do silly jokes please.

Well you certainly do if you can enter your browser to find Nairaland to ask for jobs, but cannot use that same browser to google and find the job at your preferred location.

Let’s all be mad together.

Phoenix77:
Hi house, hopefully everyone has been safe all through the pandemic. I'd like to find out if this is happened to someone else or it's 1 of them random situation. Basically, BRP expired 27/12/20 and did renew before then. Attended biometric capturing appt on the 22/01/21. Paid £134 for that. Then sometimes in Feb i get an email from home office that normally they strive to make decisions on applications within 8wks but mine will take longer than that as my status has automatically being extended. And till date it's been radio silence from them, which is starting to get me worried as to why it's taking to long or perhaps if something is wrong with my application. Please is anyone here having the same issue or got the same email. Thanks

It’s not a problem. Relax.

Please I need a job around Sunderland and Newcastle. Recommendations will be highly appreciated.

What job do you want? MD? Manager? Head of Department? Don’t worry, when I open my company in Sunderland or Newcastle I’ll employ you.

Kennyinusa:
hi @here
I have an interesting problem and I need some help in figuring out the best thing to do.

I am a Nigerian with a Nigerian passport that expires on 14th of April
I have a return flight back to the UK on the 13th of April
I have a BRP that doesn't expire for another 3 years.

I have already applied for a new passport at the Ikoyi office about 3 weeks ago and they are saying the issue is with printing the passport.
I have called my airline and they said that they will allow me to board since my passport is still active.

Do you think it is safe for me to try to get on that flight?

Yes.

Best advice is to do that passport first because we no longer have embassy in the UK.

Hebraeem:
Hello Guys, please can someone confirm if a postgraduate student can work full time during this easter break? I have also asked the int. office at my school, no answer yet. I have perused the T4 Visa rules and regulations and I think one can do so outside the term time which is from 29th March to 16th April 2021.

I would still like to get your input to put all doubts to rest. Thank you.

Yes.

Macaulay10:
Couldn't get an answer on the student thread, my question is that:

I have been seeing that people pay their tuition with naira account, and the pounds equivalent is deducted, my dad has dollar in his Stanbic domiciliary account.

Can we pay the tuition with the dollar, my plan was to Change the dollar to naira and pay the tuition.

Also, which of the two is cost effective in terms of paying with the dollar or naira?

Tuition fees is done using deposits. Meaning that you’ll fill a form and submit it, then the bank will deduct the equivalent they need from the bank account and pay what you intended to pay.

In other words. The currency no matter.

nihilistjnr:


That's a tough one to be honest, because there are still a number of considerations for the newbie - Networking in particular is a challenge, especially when you have to calculate subnetting

It's also highly unlikely to be offered a pure AWS role in isolation. AWS like Azure can be likened to the evolution of virtualization, which in principle was always a 3rd line function anyway (I assume you know what I mean by this)

Either way there's a looot of studying and CV padding required to get a job managing AWS for most companies, only to be offered on average 50-60k in London.

If you're new to IT, I wouldn't recommend it, unless you're a geek.

I gave this advice. Cloud isn’t for newbies. Best to start from junior devops or Helpdesk then land in cloud.

Please o, can someone living in Nigeria open a Monzo account? I want my cousin to open a pounds account so I’ll save money there for them to show funds in their account.

I won’t go close to the naira with a barge pole.
