I can bet my left ear on it that you did not read that article and if you did then you certainly did not comprehend.

where did i ever write that a girl child should not go to school.

"This has made me conclude that its gradually becoming a waste of money and resources for some parents to send their daughters to school since they are likely to come out and dump the zeal and qualification just to start scouting for "financially ok guys" before they can think of making a headway for themselves in life.

So if that is the case,there is no need to get a degree since they don't need that to get a rich guy as they can use their natural body degree to achieve that thereby saving the parents hundreds of thousands of naira".


It used to bother me why the govt neglects education in Nigeria. Now I know. Why invest in individuals with no capacity to comprehend? Are you sure you understand what you wrote? I didn't write the bold qoute above, you did. You are giving reasons why higher education should be withheld from the female gender. There is absolutely no excuse for it. Are you sure you are not confused?

WhoRUDeceiving:
On one hand the Western world has pretty much serial monogamy, so let's not really bring them into this. If na roads, hospitals, good government, stadia, airports, economy, then yes.

Nevertheless, this is what was "important" to a whole sitting governor. At least she was not a 13 year old or 6 year old that some accounts claim Muhammed married when he was already deep into adulthood.

I'm confused, what does serial monogamy mean?

Toks2008:
My broda this is nairaland not pound or dollarland.

When i write,i do so with a Nigerian perspective.

Even more ridiculous. Is that your excuse for perpetuating a flawed mentality? Every individual irrespective of gender needs an education. An educated society is an improved society. I just can't fathom how you reason.

I wish them the best of conjugal bliss. His religion permits him to marry as many as he wants.

If you are a Muslim, go and try that shiit in the western world and see if you'll not go to jail.

Dose pretty ladies don't need to twist dier legs like a slowpoke # realswags

And they are fully clothed too.

Toks2008:
It is no longer a new thing that after graduation of a male child from a tertiary institution,there is so much expectation from him especially the one whose parents are from a very humble background and had to make huge financial sacrifices.

After graduation,this male child is expected to do his best as regards the ability to provide for himself,his aging parents and also prepare to start a family and we all know the financial demands that come with marriage ceremonies.

As if this is not enough for the male child,the female folks who have spent years in tertiary institutions to have a sound intellect and ought to be a succor in terms of encouragement and financial support have become an additional burden.

Please understand this...there is absolutely nothing bad for a lady be a graduate or not to want,hope or desire a rich or financially ok guy...which lady will not want that?

But it gets even crazier by the day cos most of those ladies who have no opportunity of bagging a degree are unbelievably hard working as we can see many of them doing one thing or the other legitimately to be financially independent while many acclaimed graduates just hope for one unfortunate maga to buy them..how sad.

Ok lets take a look at this..In Nigeria,both the male and the female child go to the same private or public schools right from nursery to tertiary levels,we had the same educational qualification because the last time i checked the University as well as polytechnic degrees are awarded to both male and female...

We go through NYSC together and start looking for jobs in the same labor market in the same country.It is even easier for a female graduate to get jobs compared to the male folks yet these same ladies expect these same guys to be "financially ok" enough to take care of them HABBA!

What happened to equal opportunity to be financially ok since we are faced with same economy conditions. What sought of magic are these ladies expecting the male folks to perform? It even becomes more unrealistic and wicked when ladies are looking for financially ok guys in their 20s and early 30s.


This has made me conclude that its gradually becoming a waste of money and resources for some parents to send their daughters to school since they are likely to come out and dump the zeal and qualification just to start scouting for "financially ok guys" before they can think of making a headway for themselves in life.

So if that is the case,there is no need to get a degree since they don't need that to get a rich guy as they can use their natural body degree to achieve that thereby saving the parents hundreds of thousands of naira.

So i am advising every Nigerian parent to ask their daughter this vital question before spending a dime on her tertiary education and beg her to tell them the truth...

"Are you ready to go to school and acquire a degree to become self reliant financially or are you nursing the thought of going to school and latter come out to start looking for a rich guy or financially ok guy"?


Be observant to the way she answers and make up your mind.

Odiegwu.

You are probably the most chauvinistic prick I've ever had the displeasure of meeting. What's with you and male dominance? You need to start travelling and explore other normal societies and your perception will improve. You seriously need to address your superiority complex.

waice6571:
Its obvious there's a problem to be solved in this country and there is no problem without a cause either man or nature etc.
this man should stop telling us what we already know.
He promised to alleviate common peoples problem before election only to be telling us why any of the problems won't be solved.

I am left with no choice than doing the needful;

I hereby move the motion for impeachment of our honorable Aso-man.

You might as well impeach and deport all Nigerians as well. The average Nigerian mentality is phucked up. These leaders didn't just fall from the sky. Fayose for example, was once a regular everyday Nigerian. Now he is a governor. His phucked up mentality is what he is using to govern his state. A lot of people don't see a problem with his style of leadership because their mentality is also phucked up. The cycle is always turning. Garbage in garbage out.

GworoChewinMaga:
Excuse me, but are you celebrating a shitty pilot?

She crashed.

She failed at what she is paid to do

Now you guys are celebrating her shitty skills

Seriously? So because the aircraft she was piloting crashed, she has failed as a pilot. What planet do you guys come from? how do your brains function. So many questions. Have you ever heard of technical error? A lot of the reasons aircrafts crash is mostly because of other peoples negligence.

Pidggin:
Buhari is copying almost all GEJ's policies, taking credit for them, and still insulting him.

I wonder why he cannot come up with his own policies instead of photocopying from GEJ.

Because that is not how governance is done. You are supposed to build on the successes and policies of your predecessor. Nigerians have a lot to learn about how to build a nation.

Dyt:

Seriously? Are sure you are not confusing school and babysitter?

Taiwo20:
There nothing back in teaching kid how to drive before 18. What is bad is letting them drive before 18. Atimes, parents could be so tired from the day's work that to warm a car or park it might become a chore(speaking from experience). I learnt driving before 18 but doesn't mean I started driving at 18.

What is the legal age to drive in Nigeria?

adren:
The world is rapidly evolving and so are the inhabitants thereof.. it is no mere gainsaying that kids of nowadays develop and grow rapidly into adults and most times we wonder how time flies..
However, unlike their foreign counterparts, most nigerian parents are reluctant to teach and orientate their kids on driving lessons.
Driving is a skill which if acquired, is improved upon over time before the driver can become an expert at it..
So dear nigerian parents who can afford a car, highlighted below are reasons why you should teach your kids to drive before they reach full puberty.

1. freedom of expression: nigerian parents' head swell when their young ones make them proud but only little of them gives room to aid their kid's expression and courage.
imagine a 22 year old asking NLders how to toast a fine girl in his street wtf!!!
please, driving lessons can boost your child's morale and physical skills because kids are naturally born to be eager to learn new things..

2. emergency cases: i once heard a story of a woman who wanted to give birth.. her cell phone was down, her husband was away from the country, it was just she, 4 cars in her garage and a 12 year old who couldn't drive.. unfortunately, she died..
i heard another story too of a man who, while driving to his hometown with his 9 year old kid got an heart attack, it was that boy who bravely drove his dad to the hospital and saved his life ( it is no mere fiction, i saw it on a national daily)..
now, what does the two stories above preach to you??

3. sweet sixteen: in UK, when you are about to clock sixteen, excitements fill your heart because you are either gon get your own car or you are gon have full access to your parents'..
reverse is the case here and it is quite unfortunate.. even if you can't afford to buy your kids one on their birthday or you do not have one of your own, take them for driving lessons and obtain driver's license for them 'with faith'.. trust me, it is the best present for a sixteen year old..

4. sheer embarrasment: in this age, it is now more embarrasment for a teenager who can't drive than for a fully grown woman who can't cook ordinary soup..
yes..it is true
she can cover up her mess by buying food outside or employing others to, but you can't hide the fact that you can't drive..
infact, it makes you lazy and awkward..

5. job opportunities: evidently speaking, some firms require those with driving lessons.. driving is a whole skill on its own..

My dad's boss wanted to send me a message when i was 15 year old..he asked, could you drive?? i answered no.. he was just shaking his head in pity for me.. then, he asked his 13 year old girl to drive me to get the assignment done..
i had regrets from that trip, i am sure i'd have been paid a lot of money if i had acquired driving skills earlier..


Nairalanders, abeg come and share your driving meme and awkward experiences..

What age did you learn to drive??

Ever been embarrased by your lack of driving abilities?? please share


temitope steve reporting

Isn't it funny that the OP did not for once advise readers to make sure and check if it is legal before teaching or learning how to drive at age 15. Lol....

PROVACATEUR:
Buhari in the name of God don't blame me in any of this your blame games

But he's right na. The predicament we are in now was caused by every single leader Nigeria has had since independence including Buhari. If you disagree, point to one leader who was above average.

wiringdpt:
Which advice she wan give, this country is bleeped up

All Nigerians see is the potential loot. Common sense flies out the window when money is involved. How is she qualified? Oh, because she's a woman? Nigerians really deserve to suffer.

Level 6 . It wasn't easy though. It took a long time.

cococandy:
The truth will come out mr banmee

Aww congrats

Just be patient sha. It goes by real fast.

Lol....Thanks.

NaLaugh:
I think you think you're responding to a different person.

I was pointing out he must be party to it, since he's not stopping it.

Oh, ok. Got you.

cococandy:
Don't lie bollinger. I know it's you

Wait so they still haven't released you from prison?
Which mod is that lemme goan and para for him/her?

Don't worry I don't eat a lot. just that I like variety.

What? Who's bollinger? I don't know what you are taking about.

Anyway, my wife is in the same condition too. Her cravings are driving me nuts. Can't wait for this to be over.

Ximonak:
If read my point well I accept the increase in tariff but as simple as enforcing/monitoring the distribution of prepaid to every citizen.
We will gladly pay any amount of energy used by us...

But if you had calmly read my initial post, I already said corruption would be the bane of taxation na.

Lesson number one on POV maintenance; always do 360 walk around your vehicle very morning before starting it. We once had a guy crushed to death because the operator did not know that someone was sleeping in the bowl of a scraper.

Ximonak:
Bro that's a biggggg lieeeee

Cut down buy 80% the cost of servicing,feeding,maintaining people in government from the presidency to the least political office.

When we bounce back as a country we can gradually appraise their pay
Let's start from there first

What you have said sounds logical but I have a question though, how does the country generate constant income that is not subject to the price of oil, the rise and fall of the dollar, and the whims of supply and demand?

teewhydope:
Pls stfu!! Magun is real

I understand it's real in your mind, , but with all this magical "super powers" Nigeria has, you all should be living in eldorado na. Abi na only to manufacture MAGUN una get power?

NaLaugh:
Apparently not. Seun is smart and assertive enough to have clamped down on the Mod/trend if he wasn't satisfied with it.
He hasn't, so I guess he is okay with it.

Ok. But just asking, did you read our whole comments to understand the context?

NaLaugh:
I know he once put up an ad for a paid mod position. I believe it was for the person posting to the frontpage.

He was probably duped. He might as well have recruited Jss1 students to handle the MOD position.

SirKenzos:
Yoruba people and jazz sha... Ban me all you want mobs

Nigerians and their archaic superstitions sha. With all our "power", i wonder why we are not a global superpower or leader for that matter.

NaLaugh:
I agree.

I've visited this site almost daily since 2005, and seen it evolve through different phases.
If you look back, you'll find that trivial topics have always graced the frontpage as well. However, the important
difference is that those were user interest-driven. So, threads with organic and significant interest would get moved there.

As a result, there were fewer frontpage items, but they had genuine interest, hence, more pages.
Now, it's a rat race of one or two mods just railroading garbage to the frontpage all day like a trash recycling plant.

I just hope Seun isn't paying them; seems like it would be a waste of money.

niyi123:
What do you mean by ignorant Nigerians? are you saying that MAGUN does not exists, if you think so go to any Ijebu land and tell them to lay MAGUN on any lady then try and have sex with such lady, is either you start to summersault or drinking water till you give up the ghost.

Oh my phucking God!!! even with proven scientific explanations, you still hang on to superstition. Why is it that it's only in Africa that this happens? And why is it that with all these powers Nigeria is not a super power?

Thank you? i'd like to slap the pisss outta you and the MOD for posting this nonsense.

NaLaugh:


What's with this constant meaningless/irrelevant gossip-blog type threads littering the frontpage every day now?

There are many reasons this is happening. In any establishment, a digress from the norm is usually directed by the leadership. In this case, Seun. He seems to understand that the members of his forum are getting younger and younger so gossip and trivialities will engage their attention longer. Back in the day, a front page story would have like 5 to 10 pages. Nowadays, you'll be lucky to see 3. The attention span of teenagers is generally erratic. Another reason is he probably does not mean for this to happen, but he has incompetent MOD's handling his forum. You can see it everyday. Bad spellings, same stories published multiple times with different headlines, etc. At the end of the day, Seun is the root cause. He's the leader.

born2groove:
This government wan make life difficult for the poor people with different increament and tolls, first it was 50 naira bank charges, now na 45 percent power increament, yet salary no increase, Fashola dey talk abt bringing of toll gates back to the roads. Very soon we go dey pay to straf our wife.

I understand what you are saying but you also need to understand that the country is broke. There is no other way to pay for anything other than through taxation. Nigeria's leaders should have been doing this decades ago instead of depending on oil. This is how countries like England, Germany, Switzerland, etc have survived and become great. The only problem i see with taxation in Nigeria is corruption. Corruption was easy in the past because Nigerians did not question it due to the fact that oil was the only source of income. Nigerians did not really feel the pain because the money stolen did not come from their pockets. It came from the land, specifically, Niger Delta. It's going to be a different story from now on.
