Romance / Re: Help! My Relationship Of 7 Years Is About To Sink by BigBenoski(m): 9:58pm On Mar 08, 2018 |
It is very possible you guys are not really meant for each other ...you (you both) have come to see other people that posses 'better' qualities but you think 6-7 years is too much to throw away, hence the frustration. Both of you may be trapped. You feel you are both entitled to each other...a case of 'he/she has invested too much in this relationship, so I feel sorry for him/her' hence the frustration is taken out the partner. If the scenario I am trying to paint sounds familiar, I have been there before...hanging on because I felt her heart was going to be turn in beats if I let her go. You should not feel sorry for him, If you don't see yourself very happy as his wife. It's better so save yourselves a lifelong pain now. It hurts but you will be fine in the end. OR it could be that one of you is distracted, there's a side chick/boo somewhere. If na you get side boo, abeg let am go..these guys are masters at plugging girls off their destined husbands, and leaving them in the cold. my 1 cent. 4 Likes |

Didn't they say government banned post-ume? When people start doing exactly the opposite of what their government wants, that's a failed state. The other day, it was the people of Osun state wearing all manner of gowns and masquerade attire to school just to spite their government. Chai!

I thank God almighty for my visa approval today. I'm also grateful to all posters on here for their contributions, and to rhemmie91 who took out time to always respond to my emails. Appointment time: 9.00am Time of arrival : 8:58 am visa approval: 11......something (checking my watch was my least concern at that point) Interview transcript Me: Hi goodmorning (hands him my passport) VO: Hi goodmorning, how are you? Me: good VO:Please hand me your 1-20 and sevis receipt Me: hands him the requested documents VO: tell me about your plans me: I'm going to bla d bla university to study for a PhD in biology. I will be working on bat ecology. VO: looks at me as if he's expecting me to continue Me:Returns the look with my mouth shut VO: biotechnology you say? Me: nope! Bat ecology VO: ok are there many bats in nigeria? me: yeah. At the last IUCN count, abt 80+ but from our recent research, we've been able to discover about 10 new records. so we are currently updating the list. VO: What genus are bats under? Me: (hesitates) Did you mean order? because there are lots of genus under bats. (Gave him a basic lecture on binomial nomenclature). You understand? vo: uhmmm yeah, I just wanted you to correct me Me: Oh okay VO: is there a name people studying bats are called? Me: Nah! we just call ourselves bat biologist VOgives me lecture about the right time to enter the US) PS: sometimes applicants run into problems when they talk too much. I think its better to just keep your answers short, drive the discussion by subtly introducing a catchy word that would steer the interview to the path you feel comfortable talking about. In my case, I could have just stopped at 'I'm going to bla d bla university to study for a PhD in biology' but that'll blow the interview wide open. He could then ask you anything under the sun. To forestall that, I gently introduced him to bats (which I love talking about) and he took the bait. When you talk too much, you unknowingly dish out too many "catchy" words, and may God help you if he/she chooses the one you are not comfortable talking about. A good example was this guy before me. Dude was reeling out words, and mentioned that he was going to the US to learn some innovative technologies in medical science. VO jumped at that part and asked him what kind of innovative technology. Dude was thrown off-balance. He stuttered and said 'autoclave'. that was when I knew he'd be denied. VO said, 'but autoclave has been around for decades'.... the rest is history. Final shot: don't forget to pray before you go for your interview. All the best to everyone to to the white house soon. 15 Likes |

naijaking1: That's not a frugivore.. Can't see it very clearly, but it looks like either a Hipposideros or Rhinolophus. The bats are just looking for insects. @op, don't be surprised about how they gain entrance into your apartment; unlike fruit bats, insectivorous bats have a highly developed/efficient echolocation system that helps them navigate beautifully in the dark. Please stop depleting the naija bat diversity...abeg. Next time you see them, just let them out or just follow Naijakings1's advice. |

NYSC / Re: Ebonyi State Slashes Monthly Allowance Of Corper Doctors From N130k To N15k by BigBenoski(m): 9:06am On Nov 08, 2015 |
d33types: Work experience? That was a very poor logic. Are you saying HND corpers should be paid 200k because they've worked for a year and 6 months? What form of f.uckery is this! It is called National Youth Service Corps for crying out loud. Again, I don't hate doctors,infact a number of my friends are medical doctors.. We all need them, just like we need the carpenters and everyone else. However, I have noticed a disgraceful trend in Naija medical doctors. Most of them went into medicine erroneously thinking there's money in medicine. Suddenly, in their 5th year at the university they discover that there's no special money in it. What happens? Frustration sets in, they start whining and many of them take up illegal D&C clinics and so many other despicable practices. IMO, people like you have no business in our hospitals. You'd be better in engineering where you have a chance of working in the oil sector. 2 Likes |

You guys should also understand that ebonyi state doesn't have a lot of money right now, and this is NYSC..they are supposed to be volunteering .. Wait a minute, you mean these people were actually paid 130k monthly WTF!! How much were the engineers and other corps members paid?? If I be the governor, I go pay everybody 15k flat. When they are done with NYSC and get a job of their choice, they can then negotiate whatever pay they want. Nawa o 61 Likes 3 Shares |

ECOTERRORS:Conversely, it is perfectly logical. Snakes and most other animals do not attack humans for sport. They only attack for defense or for food. Experience has taught the snakes in your community that humans do not pose any threat to their existence so, they've relaxed and integrated. If that same species of snake attacks people elsewhere, it Is only because it feels threatened there and they would instinctively want to defend themselves . 1 Like 1 Share |

Agriculture / Re: Mysterious Bat With A Horse-like Face Found In Fish Pond (PHOTOS) by BigBenoski(m): 8:10pm On Aug 04, 2015 |
Chai! Ignorance na bastard! Sorry guys, there is nothing mysterious or new about this mammal. This is the hammer headed fruit bat (Hipsignathus monstrosus). It is widely distributed in west and central Africa. And so you know, there are more than a thousand different bat species world wide. More than 300 of these are found in Africa while Nigeria boasts of slightly more than 90 species. So please, when next you see a 'strange' looking bat, don't kill it...it's just another mammal needing conservation |
