Celebrities / Re: Church Is The Worst Place To Marry, You Deceived The Guy” – Isreal Dmw’s Friend by baum1: 9:35pm On Nov 27, 2023
immortalcrown:
You guys should learn to be factual. Learn to make claims you can factually prove. The church will be the worst place to marry if what happened to Israel has never happened to any man that married from outside the church.

I am not defending the church. But your judgement here is very illogical. There are bad people in the church, there are also bad people outside the church. Whoever cannot choose a good wife from the church cannot choose a good wife from outside the church. Whoever is able to pick a good wife from outside the church can as well pick a good wife from the church.

Thinking like this makes me know that not all our people are dumb. I really enjoy the existence of some smart Nigerians. I get so used to the not-so-smart ones online that I get impressed, maybe too impressed, when I see one of the few smart ones online.

I like this logical argument. Well done Sir

Please, what is the school fees charged at this school? Can a family living in Costain Area send their child there? Does this school have a boarding school, or is it just a day school?

They seem to make outstanding students.

Point noted but for the organizations you pointed out , are these not specific programs dedicated to recruiting young professionals and not general employment criteria ? Just so you know the World Bank and IMF is not owned by the US so they are deemed as independent organizations with ability to fashion their own laws. The organizations you mention have immunity and do not have to follow any law of any country. The US specifically for instance does not allow for discrimination based on any ground such as race , religion etc. Why for instance would KPMG US hire a 30 year old intern and KPMG Nigeria will refuse same ? Is this based on Nigerian law or ILO conventions? Its discrimination and my issue is the lack of will to enforce what is in the books in Nigeria. They have been getting away with this for too long



You're teaching me about IMF and World Bank. grin

They don't fully have full immunity per say. They try to please their largest shareholders, so they try to please the US in many ways..I say this because I know. The US has a veto power on some of these organizations..

Yes, the programs I mentioned are specific programs fully dedicated to recruiting young professionals. In fact, one of them is called young professionals program. Google am. The other is called EP, for young people just finishing the highest university degree..

Those 30 years old and co, banks, financial institutions and some others in some western countries have a special internship program called something like internships for returning adults or something like that. This is for experienced people in one industry looking to move into another industry or for some people who have been away from a job, like new mothers, and who wish to return. Quote me, but it will be hard to get someone in a western country who does not have a verifiable job experience at 30..E go hard. Most people in entry level jobs are way less than 30, at least in the finance industry that I know of very well, because they finish BSc max 23 for most. That's why naija employers need to sorry for people, as you guys are advocating., because in Naija many people gain admission at 22, plus strike, plus NYSC, plus and so on..

Finally, yes, as I said early, not all organizations in the western countries accept people of all ages for jobs, some have age requirements. I believe we are all in agreement on this because it is the fact. I have given just two examples, there are some others. Meanwhile, it is true, as you said, that very many organizations in developed countries do not openly discriminate on age and race and other stories..But we know how some managers pick people for jobs, looooooooool. For the same experience and achievements, many managers will always prefer a younger person to their older counterpart, unless that older bros or aunty has something to offer that the young person does not.

The western countries are not as blameless as some of us what others to believe.

It is always a good advantage to do anything young, always always.

I agree with you that everything should be done in Nigeria to fight open discrimination by age etc. But even if they stop to openly discriminate based on age, in general it can be difficult to prove that they are not doing this secretly. This is the problems that the labor ministries in the western countries continue to face

Education / Re: Nigerian Student Offered Scholarship To Study In US After Smashing WAEC & JAMB by baum1: 4:02am On Aug 01, 2018
AmeLonRo:


I apologise if I offend you. God forbid if I charge any one just for collating websites. When I graduated from the University many years ago (I made a 2,1), a course mate who made a 2,2 was asking our lecturers to write reference letters for him, I was laughing within then that this average guy with 2, 2 is applying abroad when we with 2,1 have not been taken (we never applied then). he has completed his PhD for some time now and is based in the United States. he had some information that helped him.

I said earlier that I have been there (at least to Ghana, South Africa and United States). I have won scholarships (more than one) before and am still applying for and getting more. I will simply put interested parties through the process. Where to look and where not to look. Where to go and where not to go. When to do what and what in the application and search process. Sear all you can for scholarships in the US and you will be surprised you wont find any or much. In addition to my mentoring, I will link you with students who are currently abroad and you can tap from their experiences too. I have a stable job for a living friend!!! The token I spoke about is to ward off unserious folks. I gave an individual all the how to and after a while I asked how far? and he said he never applied for anything. I was sad because that was a waste of my precious time. I will not give details here. Its going to be a one on one thing. If I see you are dead ready and serious and good to go, I can assist for free if you don't have the cash. But in any case you will need some change still to do one or two things in connection with studying abroad for free. I wont say a word on this for a while again please. A word is enough for the wise!

I was holding back, but I decided to sign in so as to encourage you to continue helping, provided you really have the required information to guide fellow Nigerians. Forget all those saying scam. I was told the same several times, and even more. It surprises me that some of our people can't believe that some people really have this information and can help...

What I would however say is that many Nigerians, many of the ones you will find here, may not be able to afford whatever token you ask them to bring..So, it would be much more helpful if it is possible for you to do this as a contribution without getting anything in return. Although I understand money for your time and insight is needed, I just wanted to share this view with you.

Our company does similar stuff..However, we make our money from Middle East/Asian students (it's a big, big business for Asian/Middle Eastern students), and we do it free for selected Naija students..In order to do it free, we focus on well-achieved Nigerian students. Many of them can't afford our fees (and truly we are expensive), so we just do free for them. We can't do it free for all Naija students, lol. So far, we have placed up to 10, or slightly less, Nigerians/Africans into good universities in Europe, Asia and North America, mostly on full scholarships. One of our future business strategies is to assist more solid Nigerian students to get scholarships abroad and then enter into a bond with them to get 20% of these scholarships every year when they eventually begin their studies abroad. We're looking at the feasibility of this proposal. You cannot trust people to honour agreement.


So, please continue the good job, and ignore any shout of scam etc. It's not wrong to request some fees for the experience you're sharing. However, also note that there are many bright students who don't have this money. They too deserve our support.

All da best.

Guy, leave dem. Let them be consoling themselves with their 1st class, and 2:1. undecided It is only in Nigeria, that things are turned upside down, and recruiters use all kinds of shady criteria to weed out applicants, in order to make life easy for themselves, and not because they want to get the best candidate.

Many international firms abroad rate your specialised skills, certifications, work experience (even volunteer efforts) etc, over your class of degree. But their local Nigerian offices and affiliates, are busy doing the opposite. undecided In some industries these days, emotional intelligence (EQ) is rated just as high as your (IQ). But our people are still thumping their chest over 2:1. May God deliver everyone from myopia. sad

I'm not sure what you mean by beating chest over 2:1. However, I must say this. In my industry, finance, most companies will demand a minimum of 2:1 from fresh people without work experience. This was my experience in Nigeria and elsewhere..I can't speak for other industries..

If I was young again, the advice I would give myself would be - blast the blast and get the 'bestest' university grades possible AND also develop yourself in ALL other areas, including managing and dealing with people as well as EQ. Many young people don't want to experience what it feels like to have a below average university degree. Can someone with an uninspiring university degree make it? Yes. In fact, many dropouts have turned out to be billionaires..However, these people are not in the majority, and making a decision based on exceptions is a risky way to approach life.

Young people, a top degree is always an edge, at least for now. Don't mumu yourself oo. If you're not cut out for a top degree, then by all means develop yourself in the area you're strong in and can easily become tops while at the same time earning a degree (just to be counted as being among the university degree holders).

All the best oo.

This is a matter that I find baffling to say the least. how these companies are able to get away with the age discrimination they practice says a lot about the Nigeria's labor laws. I see no reason why anyone at any age cannot decide to choose what they want to do and where they want to apply. Its just blatant discrimination. These companies would never do this in other so -called developed societies where they are located. reminds me of my experience with KPMG Nigeria after I concluded my Masters in the US. asking me to produce my WAEC and birth certificate all because I wanted to work in the Big 4 after the program. I then decided to take my chances here then and got a job here with their competition. When I was applying and being interviewed , no one cared how old I was. they just wanted to know if I was a fit and if I could get the job done. I think its high time this ageism thing is addressed. its ridiculous!

I logged in after several weeks just to provide a response to your post..

There are organizations in the US/UK with age requirements for certain jobs, so some organizations in western countries DO have age requirements...Some are subtle about it, some are very open about it. In fact, it's on their websites. I can show at least 2.

To give you a simple example, the IMF has an age requirement of 33-34 years old max for their entry programme. World Bank has 31-32 years max requirement. They don't bulge or negotiate on this maximum age requirement..

Sometimes it's good to provide perspectives so that those who don't know will know..All organizations are free to do what they deem best for them, and that must be in line with the labour laws of the countries where they are located.

In case somebody wants to debate, simply go on these organizations' websites and see for yourself. There is subtle age discrimination at many places in the western countries. This is not only in Africa..

I'm for everybody getting the same opportunity they deserve..But the world does not work that way - there are different requirements
