NYSC / Can An Individual Go For Masters Immediately After Graduation Before NYSC. by Befitting(f): 10:54pm On Nov 24, 2015
Hi Nairalanders, I'm a lady of 22yrs, born 21st April 1993. I gained admission into the university at the age of 17, due to frequent strikes, I'm about spending 5yrs in the university ready a 4yrs course. I also had issues in school which led to an extra year of which I'm currently try na clear, the truth is, I didn't get an extra year because I didn't read. Our school went on a five months strike as soon as my set graduated. I traveled to lagos to learn a skill( Pattern Making and design ) I'm done now. I was engrossed in the fashion and design course that I couldn't come back to clear my name. My exam script was misplaced and now I'm rewriting the course, but it isn't a big deal tho.
Now, I'm thinking so deep, contemplating if I should go for service immediately I clear my paper or go directly for my masters before coming back to serve. I don't know if that would be possible.
Please I need anyone who is well learned to help me out. God bless you.

Religion / Re: The Most Crucial Decision Of My Life: Considering Islam. by Befitting(f): 10:28am On Nov 06, 2015
maverickboy:
In Islam, there's high regard, from us Muslims for family at large. And there are certain red lines which we shouldn't cross, hence when we face crucial issues like this, caution must be taken so as not to invade others sanctuaries.

Parents should be treated with utmost respect and care. Their directions should be placed before any other, and their ideas shouldn't be treated with contempt. And if we must turn down their offers, we must be diplomatic as much as posible in doing so. We should let them see what we saw which they don't. And should they fail to come to terms with our opinion, then the judgement should come from God, The Most High.But, if it's only a worldly matter, where whatever decision we make don't incur any sin from God, we'd be rewarded if we honor our parents by accepting their wish over ours. The only situation where they have no say is when they are against what God's law stipulates.

Now, you know your dad than anyone else and can tell how he is likely to handle the situation at hand. So in order not to get yourself into what you are not ready for like being disowned, you need to keep your conversion to yourself for the mean time. Of course, you can't hide it from him forever, but let it be at a time he'll respect your decision. And if he's not going to respect it, his disapproval and consequence actions will not be too burdensome for you to cope with. Especially being a female child, who has lost her first sympathizer (mother), you may not be able to handle it if it explodes untimely.

For now, start learning about Islam, read books by reputable scholars and ask about whatever you don't understand on this forum. You can start practising your religion (Islam) after taking the Shahada as circumstances permit.

As regard your family, you need to start communcating with them through your actions. Show your household as well as neighbors the the virtue of Islam... Let them perceive changes in your life. Let your household know what good you are bringing in from afar. Be a light that illuminates your community at large, like that it will be easier for you to come out clearly when the time comes.

As_salam alaykum warahmotullah wabarakatuh.
This is the best advice I've received so far. May allah continue to grant you this wisdom and knowledge.

Religion / Re: My Boyfriend Is An Atheist. I Love Him But My Family And Friends Hate Him. Help by Befitting(f): 10:55pm On Nov 05, 2015
SiaFuller:
I am an Avid reader of Nairaland and i have never bothered to comment but to enjoy the comments and advices of others i relationship matters but i think i now need your assistance before i lose the plot.

I have been dating this guy for a while now and honestly speaking without exaggerating too much, he is the most perfect man to me. He is tall, dark, handsome, hardworking and very kind to a fault. He helps people at will and takes no offence whatso ever at my excesses except i over do it to a fault and instead of getting mad at me to hit me or abuse me, he just walks away for an hour or 2 and comes back as if nothing happens. The only snag i have with him is that he is an atheist and doesnt believe in God whatso ever. I am a very strong Christian and i didnt take it as anything at first when he was trying to date me. I saw it as a juvenile boy's thing and maybe misguided and my purpose was to date him to make him change his ways and believe in God, but instead he has kept steadfast to his belief of not believing in God and hating anything about religion but apart from that, he is everything a girl could want in a man or more.

Since i have known him, he doesnt smoke or drink or party, move around with unserious or bad friends. He has never cheated on me and promised to never do so because its not his nature. He hasn't hit me before and also swore the day that he hits me mistakenly i should stab him and dump him there and then because he doesnt appreciate Men who beat women. He takes care of me and sometimes even cook for me when ever i come to his place. He even paid close to N300,000 for my hospital bills when i had a surgery and he stayed with me most of the time. I know he truely and genuinely loves me but this issue of his religion and atheism is my only problem with him. He has even driven me to church on so many occassions when it rains or when am going for Night Virgil but he never comes down or attends it and he sometimes comes back to pick me up when i am done.

He blatantly refuses to change. My pastor dislikes him so much and sees him as a bad influence to me because he says anybody that is not of the spirit and with the spirit of God is a temptation to be cut loose. My Mom doesnt even want to hear anything about him until he renounces his atheism but she hasnt complained about him concerning anything else. My Dad has warned me not to bring a devil to his house hold and sees him as a Devil's incarnate and spritually unclean. He even promised to disown me if i ever call him my financee talkless of bringing home as a potential husband. Most of my female friends drool over him and tell me how lucky i am to meet such a good man while others warn me that he is demonic and i should stay away from him because he doesnt believe in God.

The thing is that he is very brilliant and intelligent and when you hear him speak sometimes he could be so mesmerizing when denouncing religion and the bible or Koran as mere propagandas and fictional works. There was even a day some people in my fellowship came to meet him to pray and convert him and it turned into a debate and he ended up winning the argument and making us question or faith back in a total reversal of roles. He is very unsparing and merciless when it comes to things of God, Bible or religion and makes no apologises for it. Apart from that, he is a total kitty cat. Calm, collected, mature, responsible and humble. 2 days ago he jokingly made a feeble attempt to propose to me but added a clause that we would only do a registry marriage and not church wedding because he cant stand the site of the hypocrisy of christianity and the church but he would go out of his way to make sure i have a memorable wedding @ the registry and reception. He tells me that prayers dont work and only daft and lazy people believe in prayers. He says you don't have to be a christian to be kind, compassionate and honest and to help people. He says its human nature and the society that dictates how we think and act and he chooses to be someone that is kind and honest to people and not attribute it to one God or Church. Anytime i come back from Church and talk about my pastor or what i was taught, he gets very angry. He doesnt like hearing anything about pastors, churches, tithes and sermons but when you get into a biblical argument with him, its as if he knows the bible inside out and the right quotes without even reading it. He is that articulate.

For the past 2 days i have been in a dilema now. He wants to marry me i believe and i love him seriously to bits. I have dated other so called born again or spiritually filled guys in my past that messed me up so badly and i know alot of men use this as a bait to catch women and end up showing their true colors later on. My boyfriend is not disguising who he is in terms of his spirituality but he is offering me this unconditional love which i have seen and no man has given me despite their promises. My only fear is that my parents will see me as an out cast, my friends dont like him for it, my pastor and church members loathe him for being an athiest and dislike more everyday i am with him. If i go ahead with my choice to stick with him, i lose my soul and my community but gain happiness because he has truely being a wonderful man so far but if i leave him for my friends, family and community i might lose my prince charming that every woman dreams of that loves me dearly.

I am really confused and i have to make a decision quickly. Please help advise me. Please no nasty comments too i beg you. Hope we can be civil with this.

P:S: I will be 30 in September.

Your decision is crucial indeed, but since according to your words; you have made up your mind, I believe you have already overcome every other challenges. Having said that, you need to know that in reality, every challeges demand readiness and sacrifices. So, are you ready to face this one?

Incase you are ready to face it, what about the sacrifices - can you afford the sacrifices now?

Religion / The Most Crucial Decision Of My Life: Considering Islam. by Befitting(f): 9:05am On Nov 05, 2015
Hey Nairalanders, I'm a northern girl who hails from Adamawa state. My both parents hail from adamawa, thesame local government but different villages. They're both christians. My mum died 2006 and my dad even remarried before her death. The 2nd wife is from a muslim home but converted to christainity for reasons best known to here. Since then we've been living in peace although she hasn't bore a child yet and I don't think my dad is considering marriage.
Right from childhood, I've been around muslims, I've always admired their religion ofcourse apart from the jihad and terrorism. But every other thing about them I love. Now, I'm thinking of converting, I've let my muslim friends know about my decision. But what I'm not certain about is if to let my family know about it, because I know the consequences that would come with it. I'll be disowned and thrown out of the house. But my mind is made up already. I don't know what to do. I'm the 1st daughter and we're just 2gurls.
I know somany of you will condemn me for this but I'm ready to receive all the condemnation and insults from my christian brothers and sisters.
Career / Re: How Quitting My Job Made Me Cry by Befitting(f): 11:05am On Nov 04, 2015
MaverickExcel1:
Never for once did I imagine that quitting my job will make me cry. About four weeks ago I quit form my job because of some irreconcilable differences I had with the organization.

It was a big shock to the organization because the resignation letter came impromptu. I don’t know if I was thinking that morning but I had to do what was on my mind that fateful morning.

Though, I had spoken with my best friend earlier that morning who discouraged me from quitting but my mind was made up already.

The next day I applied at another organization where my mother had told me there was vacancy. And after the rigorous test and oral interview, I emerged as the best candidate; in fact, I was given the position higher than the one I had applied for.

But…

When I was told the arduous terms and conditions that will qualify me as a staff, I almost threw up (not literally).

I went back home feeling so frustrated but this experience was not the one that made me cry. After, about two weeks, I was approached by a lady (my neighbor actually) to come work for her saying I was really smart.

Finally, my prayer has been answered, I thought to myself. On reaching there, I was told what shocked me to my teeth but I acted as if everything was ok.

The salary was ridiculous.

Another shock was when I was shown the work I’ll be doing (which I love anyway) but the amount of work compared to what she agreed to pay was unbelievable. After, the work that day I felt really stressed out.

When I got home I cried until my eyeballs yelled for mercy because it just occurred to me that where I was working before I was paid higher than what I’m about to be paid even with a lesser work.

The work in this present organization is three times more than what I am doing here.

Though I cried a lot and regretted over why I left the previous organization, I learnt really valuable lessons that I think will benefit a lot of entrepreneurs and employers out there.

Moral Lessons:

Always be contented:

It was my discontentment (oh Lord forgive me) that made me leave my former organization because I wanted more. Little did I know that I was actually in the best position.

Always be contented with what you have, no matter how trivial.

Be patient:

The patient dog always eat the fattest bone. Don’t be in a haste to achieve your dreams.

Stop complaining:

Never complain to others or feel overly agitated over your present condition. My agitation led to impatience which led to discontentment.

Appreciate your boss:

Always appreciate the ‘peanut’ your boss is giving you because he also has bills to pay. So, if you can’t work for him, start your own business.

Don’t be too quick to make decisions:

It’s always best to think over a matter over and over again before making a crucial decision. Think before you act but don’t act before you think.

I hope you have learnt from my mistake?

Experience is not always the best teacher because you won’t live long enough to make all the mistakes in the world.

Has this happened to you before? Share your experience with us. we love to hear from you.

MusingsOfALady:
I read a sob story online a few days ago. Well it’s actually a story that has been going round the internet for years but in different variations (with changing names and forms of course). It’s the story of how a married man was dating a single girl and lavishing money on her... bla bla bla and the wife prayed against the girl for 21 days or so and the girl was in an accident and lost all or went mad or died – or whatever variation of ending you will like to slot in here. And boy, do a lot of women love these stories! They click “Like” and "Share" on their Facebook wall immediately. Holy Ghost Fire!

Let me state categorically that adultery is wrong; it’s a sin, a betrayal of trust and no man or woman should be involved in it. So I am not about to defend husband snatching, no! Yet, I am writing to the many women stripping themselves naked at the stroke of midnight, raining curses on the other girl whom they say “snatched their husband” (Snatched? Is he a toy? 'cos toys get snatched but full grown men? Hmm…)


Before you send down thunder and fire, ask yourself: Would God punish the girl without punishing your husband? Would God be just to do that? If God is a just God, then the first person that prayer will likely land on, is your cheating husband. Okay, I know most of you won’t like this but it’s the truth. The other lady is not breaking any vow, she is committing a sin alright but she made no vow to you. The one who made a vow to you and is breaking it is your spouse.

Let’s be truthful, he is probably the one who initiated the affair (I said probably oh!) but surely, he agreed to it. He is the one bankrolling it, he is the one lying to you, deleting her texts, hiding behind your back to see her, probably telling her lies about you, buying her gifts instead of you, making her promises, sleeping with her, made a CHOICE to be with her… He! He!! He!!! The other woman owes you nothing "IF" she is a stranger to you. So cool down with the thunder and fire because you may just roast your hubby.


What if it’s Juju? Yeah, if it’s Juju, she will definitely get the fire and thunder but it’s not Juju 90% of the time, No, its indiscipline! The reason most women blame and curse "the other woman" is because they don’t want to face this reality or this truth. So what should you? Fold your arms? No!

1. Get your facts right and confront him calmly.
2. Get a commitment from him to break it off, he should get good pastoral/spiritual counsel.
3. He needs to get himself into an accountability relationship.
4. Check yourself. While you are not to blame for his straying eyes, you might have contributed. So check yourself, have you been unavailable, ignoring him, taking him for granted or something. Remember you pulled his strings, that’s why he married you, so, pull them again.
5. Pray for him for wisdom, strength and discipline to be faithful. Pray that every link between him and the other person be broken.
6. Pray for yourself as well.


If your husband can’t commit to being faithful then cursing other girls won’t work because even if the current girl or girls die, he will get another. Let’s stop trying to use God’s name for selfish reasons. God is a just God, if the girl who had an affair with your husband deserves death then so does your husband.

What are your thoughts?

Hey Nairalanders, your advice and kind words might help me to get through with this challenge I'm having.
I graduated from the university early this year, immediately after my graduation my alma mata embarked on a 5months strike. As a result of this, I moved to lagos to enroll in a fashion and design academy, with the hope that immediately after the strike, we'll get our result and go for NYSC. The going was good until I received my result with a spill. I had just a course to rewrite, I thought the school will wave it since it was just one course so I decided to work it out but that didn't work. This resulted with me been left out when some of my mates are already in camp now. The feeling is devastating.
Now, I'm back home to rewrite the course. My father is really angry with, he said I've brought shame upon him and myself and he'll never forgive me. According to him, he has never failed in his life so why would I? He's making it look as if he sent me to school and I just played with his money. I feel like a failure and disappointment. I don't know what to do...feel like running away cos this man is terrible!!
