mrdharkchild: Culture is created for man .Man is not created for culture. Culture is meant to adapt to man. You cannot because of culture make life difficult for yourself or someone else . For example , the culture of Killing of twins in calabar , should they have continued with because it's their culture. Those people that carry culture on their head only say it because it favors them . When it goes against them, you will see them asking for the culture to be canceled. This same Saudi had the culture that women shouldn't drive cars and go to cinema alone. When they saw how this limit their revenue generation , they changed it. Saudi has a culture that no woman unmarried should live with a man. Did they not change it for C Ronaldo and his girlfriend? All this culture of "Don't criticize the monarchy ", is just something made up to keep themselves in power forever . |

Moniya4Real: in the first paragraph , what he said was nonsense. The f16 jets is a US weapon , which they've been reluctant to send to Ukrainians since the beginning of the war. Now , UK and Netherlands have decided to train the Ukrainian on the f16 jets but they can't give them the jets without US approval. US only just agreed to train the Ukrainian on the jet after the G7 meeting. 1 Like 1 Share |

Family / Re: Nairalanders Please Help, My First Son Is Behaving Somehow by Ayohbk(m): 12:18pm On Apr 06, 2023 |
You asked for what you could do to help the situation Sit the child down , apologize to him (because you and your husband has wasted 5 yrs of his life ) , ask the boy what he really wants to do and tell him you are ready to give him unconditional support. After the boy tells you what he wants to do, look for an expert in that field to have a discussion with your son and tell him the advantages and disadvantages of his choice, and also tell him the amount of work he needs to put in to succeed in the field. Give the boy time to make his decision. After the boy makes his decision , sit him down and tell him how you will support him. But also try to cajole him to always open up to you when he's not sure about anything. During this period , go on fun trips with him , have light hearted conversations with him , watch football with him, Invite his friends who you like their characters over. Also continue your research on his field of choice and look for materials or mentors to support him (you are doing all this work because you already wasted 5 yrs of his life). Encourage him to also keep studying and dreaming. Life is full of roses and thorns. You noticed I didn't mention your husband in the solution. That is because I don't think the man has the boy's best interest at heart . Madam fight for your son and love him unconditionally . There is nothing wrong with him. He's just a young man whose hopes and dreams were shattered by his PARENTS. Now he's low in confidence and has no self belief. 3 Likes |

From all I read here , your husband is the problem not the son. If this story was told by someone else , I would have said the man is hell bent on destroying the boy's life. Who the hell forces someone to do pharmacy ahead of computer science in this digital age. All the beatings are supposed to inflicted on the father because his exposure and knowledge is awfully limited. I really feel disgusted reading his actions at jeopardizing his child's future. I honestly pity the child because he's seen as the problem whereas he's not. He has just given up all hope on life and currently lacks Motivation. The story almost seems similar to mine, where my dad was almost insistent on me doing accounting and my mum medicine . I collected the money from jamb from them and filled for computer science . I was almost chased out of the house after that Family meetings after family meetings were done, I stood my ground and was help by the fact that I couldn't change the form again . The fact that the course I chose was my decision was an extra motivation for me, because I knew I couldn't afford to fail. Many years later this course has opened unlimited doors for me. After my uni , I started with ecommerce(with my parents discouraging me) , I made loads of money (that made them shut up), move abroad and there are jobs available for me everywhere because everyone wants an IT graduate and are ready to pay loads of money for it. In summary , I'm disgusted by your husband actions and your own inactions . I hope the boy finds motivation to move on with life and quickly . PS: This is no spiritual shit, don't take the boy to any pastor to add problems to his problems . He is in this condition because of his unexposed , uneducated and uncaring parents. You guys are not ready to parent a child and you have 5 already . It's so unfortunate 16 Likes 1 Share |

We can see the benefits that the things yiu don't frown on in your "so called society" has brought to your society. A society that prides itself on hate, violence and inequality.

Let's see what they do with the stadium when they are done with the tournament. Have you seen what china's Olympics bird nest looks like after the event�.. haha Of course they have enough money to spend and waste. But the question is why not use the money to provide a proper working environment and culture for the construction workers? Do you have any proof that being gay is a virus?

Moh247: Of course there will be people jostling for work there. Check the nationalities of this people hustling for work, they are unfortunately from some of the poorest populations in the world. What do you expect. Have you not read of people selling their kidneys for money. That is unfortunately what poverty does to people. Do you see western countries citizens going to do such labor jobs. Of course, westerners are there as expatriates, go and check their working conditions and contract. They will never accept anything less than above standards. Don't you see expatriates in Nigeria too, di you see the special conditions afforded to them. These are things you can see with your eyes, stop hiding under the propaganda accusation mantra. If given the chance, do you think those Asians jostling to work in Qatar, won't jump at the chance to work in western countries |

Lukuluku69: Regarding the pay, please see my reply to another poster above. Regarding the western world being hypocrite, i do agree with that. But to say that the Europeans or Americans are pisses over contracts is ridiculous. Qatar spent over 200 billion dollars on this world, mostly to please the western world. Do you think they will spend that much to host a tournament for Arabs, Africans and Asians? hahaha.... stop deceiving yourself. At the end of the day, monetary profits from these tournaments still end up in the western world. Why do the Qataris spend so much money for sportwashing their images literally. FIFA has being preaching equality for all for several years. Say No to racism, Say to homophobia, Say No to inequality, and protection of human rights. Then why should this be different for Qatar. If the western world is not built on this values, will the Qatar find a spirt invented and globalized by the western world so attractive to spend almost 400 billion dollars in order to host it. They want the glory that the sport brings, but they do not want the value that has made the sport what it is. |

toxtimmy: Before you write up your nonsense reply, why do you compare a construction worker with a nurse? instead of same professions in both countries. After checking both are the same. Of course many laws that protect a worker in the UK are not available to the Qatar migrant worker. How do you compare someone working 60 to 70 hours a week tp someone working 35 to 40 hrs a week on the same salary? Are Healthcare packages provided to this migrant workers? What is the essence of making 30k euros in a year, and spending tens of thousands of euros on health care in subsequent years. |

I don't have much to say on this . Most Nigerian ladies I met here had a BF in Nigeria before coming here so why dem go give you face. At least 2 of them got married to their Nigerian BFs last year. Anyone can be attractive to anyone. Boys for here dey complain sey white girls no dey give dem face or are just using them for Bleep. But there was still a 9ja guy that came with us, who got married to a white girl within his first semester, dem don born now sef. There's no rule for dating. If you like a 9ja girl, shoot your shot if she no accept you, Move on. Don't make it a "9JA girl thing". lemme just drop this, if you like it curvy, keep your eyes on 9ja girls.

Kly003: As much as I commend your effort in creating this thread and furnishing it with information but I'm sad, angry and disturbed with you following the trend of demonizing your fellow countrymen. Let me start with the first point of not relating to black guys because they are jealous or blahblah. I will reply to this from my own POV When I came to Germany 3 years ago, there was a large group of Nigerians who joined the Uni that same time. There was limited knowledge on how to navigate studies and get good jobs. I can remember my second week in Germany, about 5 of us ran into a Ghanaian guy who was in the uni earlier than us and he gave us orientation on how things goes. He was like forget hustle jobs, try to focus on studies squarely and get a proper office job. Then we met a Nigerian who told us to find a hustle Job asap and ride along with studies. We met another person who told us that it's really difficult to find a job, and study is hard here blah blah. Everyone speaks from their experience and their scope of knowledge then it is left to you to know which one works best for you and you can use. Out of the 3 scenarios advised above, none of them really worked for me but I picked something from all the 3 people and many other people and I can say I am in a better place than I can imagine. Personally, I do not believe anyone is jealous or doesn't want you to progress, some might just be frustrated and they project their failures on you unknowingly. It's up to you to process the kind of information you receive. Never dismiss anyone or their experience because they are black or whatever. Believe me I had a 4 hr heated argument with a guy that i came to Germany with on the same plane. He argued that it's not possible for a black guy to get a proper technical job in Germany and I argued otherwise. After that heated argument we literally stopped being friends. But his points always remained at the back of my mind for over a year and it made me scared of applying for jobs so I never applied. I was only doing hustle jobs, until another Nigerian friend got a technical job and he also encouraged me to do same. With input from friends including Nigerians, I improved my skills and my CV, one month after applying I got 4 offers after 100s of rejections. 3 months while working on the part time student job, I got 3 offers for a full time job. I started my full-time job in a multinational company while still studying and also changing my visa status.Also note that till now, my german is not good but the jobs I got are in English. Points to pick out from this story: 1. The guys that gave us orientation, never told us of the possibility of getting a full-time job while studying. Maybe if they had tild us most of us could have gotten full-time jobs without the whole school stress if anyone is not interested in studying. This is not because they are jealous of us. But they only gave orientation based on their experiences and also rules are being changed constantly. After getting my full time job, the other Nigerian that encouraged me to apply for technical jobs also got a full time job too, he started today. This was made possible by us making further research and also information shared within ourselves. 2. The other guy I had the heated argument with, did not make his point based on jealousy or whatever, but based on experience and also the difficult situation he found himself. 3. There was also a "common belief" that you can't get a good job in Germany without knowledge of German. This is true in some cases, there are some rejections I got and I asked them why, they tell me they need someone with fluent german. if i pass this information to someone else and he takes it as a rule. Then he meets someone that got a job without German, then he will say i don't want his progress. In my situation, the first student job I got in the advert they stated they needed someone with good german. I just applied randomly expecting a rejection. I got called for interview, everything was in English and i got the job. When I was working there, they told me that they need more people but they were not getting applications. I told them it was because the advert was in German and also they stated they needed someone with good german which discourages foreigners to apply cos I also almost didn't apply. Then they told me the company only recently started adopting English as working language. They asked me to help them rewrite the advert in English and also recommend people. I've met Germans who are surprised that I got a full-time job while studying. There was even a german who once kinda implied to my Indian friend that he shouldn't ask for a certain range if salary during interview. Guess what, my friend negotiated for over 10k higher and I also even got higher that the range he stated �. Does that mean he's jealous, No, he was only speaking based on experience. Now, when I meet newcomers, I always tell them just keep applying and improving your skills. Send like 10 applications per day. It doesn't mean I'm a better person or whatever. I only gave that advice based on experience. To finish my point, make friends with anyone you meet, relate with and have similar goals and drive regardless of their color. Believe me, the familiarity and brotherly joy, I get when amongst black people most especially Nigerians you can't replicate. Make friends with someone does not mean trust them completely or take their words as Bible. It's everyman for himself everywhere. No matter how hard you try, you can never fit in completely in a Group of friends filled with white people and also you can almost never have a German best friend. Most of them already formed their cliques or best friends since their high school days. It's probably easier for a black person born here or in their teens or early 20s. If you are beyond this age group, you'll have to be your own best friend. Everywhere you go just try to be the best version of yourself, smile, relate with people regardless of their color, share and get information you need, go home and sleep. Rinse and repeat everyday. Don't loose yourself trying to fit in a white society. Don't demonize your people. 104 Likes 9 Shares |
