@poster What I have been able to garner from you is that you feel that the yorubas should maintain the culture and religion of old. Unfortunately your communication skills leave a lot to be desired (and your grammatical error and typos aren't helping either). |

KunleOshob:The bible verse goes towards pride vs humility, and not necessarily the practice of calling someone 'daddy'. In most parts of Nigeria, you do not call people who are much older than you by first name. Even in the office, you rarely call your superiors by first name. |

[quote author=A-town link=topic=230346.msg3645537#msg3645537 date=1238074945]@biina I don't care what you think. I only stated the obvious. You think foreign grads don't help the nation abi? You'd rather have them use the knowledge obtained abroad to develop other countries. Go to places like houston and you'll see chief medical directors as Nigerians e.t.c. I never said it is/was fair. All i said is that it's a way to encourage foreign students to come back. With regards to the NYSC experience. Come off it. We all know this shit happens. Its not foreign grads alone my dear.[/quote]If you dont care what others think, then you should not read or post on forums. Your earlier post reflected a position in favor of preferential treatment of foreign graduates in the NYSC system, that goes beyond stating the obvious. Again you still equate coming for NYSC to resettling in Nigeria. Anybody that wants to come back to Nigeria is free to do so, and I do encourage people to do so., but that has little to do with NYSC posting. While we know that a lot of wrong things happens in naija, it does not help if same is what we offer as an 'advice' on a public forum. You went as far as actually offering the option that the guy not serve at all after camp. |
| NYSC › Re: Help Please! Advice For Expatriate Going For Nysc by biina: 8:25am On Mar 26, 2009 |
@ A-town Your argument for preferential treatment is flawed. Some people in Nigeria also have job offers before the NYSC posting and would have to find alternate solution if posted to a different state. While some might not be willing to leave their high paying jobs overseas to come and serve in Nigeria, if you do decide to do so, you should be willing to comply with the 'random' postings like everyone else. Why should we encourage foreign graduates to come and serve? Coming back to live in naija and NYSC posting are two different things. Most foreign students that come to serve, do so on the per chance that they may need the NYSC certification when dealing with the Nigerian government in the future. One of the aims of the NYSC is to enable interaction between people from different part of the nation, and thus make us more tolerant. If you cant serve in maiduguri or abakaliki, then stay in your father's house. On reading the latter part of your post, I am no longer surprised on your position in the first part. Its people like you that make it difficult to move things forward in this country. |

@poster  You need someone (hopefully your wife) to take pity on you, and bitch slap the living daylights out of you. Anyways, I won't blame you, rather the fault lies with your parents, who didn't abort your pregnancy after a few days, but let you grow up to be such a stupid fellow. I reminisce of the days of military regimes, and the associated firing squad. Someone like you should be lined up and shot. oloriburuku somebody!!! |

Many of them are loveless robotic marriages where the choice of the people involved meant nothing Imagine meeting your husband as a veil is being torn down on the wedding day. God forbid. arranged marriages are barbaric The guests and the matchmaking aunties go home at the end of the day and the poor bride is stuck with Abdullahi,his body odor and his 14 fingers  [/quote]Softly softly with the northern pitch. Even till today, arranged marriages are performed in one form or another in every part of the world. There is nothing barbaric about it. The fact that you don't approve of it, doesn't classify those who do as being uncivilized. I know of couples, both african and foreign, well educated and enlightened, who are in arranged (or quasi-arrangee) marriages. While one never know the true details of a marriage, outward appearance hints towards them making a success of it. The fact that the individuals had (or did not have) a choice in choosing their partners has little bearing on them choosing the right spouse. Afterall, the issue involves humans - people make mistakes and people change. |

Have a friend that is the first of seven boys. He would qualify as a professional babysitter. He did everything, including carrying the baby on his back while doing his other house chores. |

| Family › Re: Arranged Marriages by biina: 2:18pm On Mar 23, 2009 |
I think arranged marriages are often more successful b'cos both parties come in with low expectations, and thus put in substantial efforts to make the best of a would be bad situation. On the hand, in 'self chosen' marriages, focus is on the selection (pre-marriage) process, and less effort is input into the marriage itself, likely because they feel they have found the right partner and everything else should work itself out from here onwards. At the first sign of trouble, they usually question their selection, instead of seeing it as an inevitable bump that should be overcome. Irrespective of the way you meet your spouse, a marriage, like all things in life, is subject to a fall, and requires effort to be successful. 1 Like |

| Family › Re: Nigerian Men Spending Time Away From Their Families by biina: 7:05pm On Mar 21, 2009 |
@deor03 don't you think, that's drilling too deep These types of profession ( i am not sure if 'type' is the right word but 'nature') is for a short time. Maximum of 5 years, however i know a couple of guys that have been doing this for over 10 years. The Sad reality is that none of them has a compact family now. Examples of these jobs are offshore jobs, telecoms consultant jobs, etcI apologize for this, but you left too many hints that I succumbed to the temptation of guessing your job. You probably work for an oil servicing company (schlumberger, haliburton?), which requires that you stay on a location/platform/rig for several weeks. Possibly as a drilling engineer. Anyways I do appreciate where you are coming from as I have many friends working offshore and in IT/telecoms consulting. You are right in that such jobs, while the pay is good, usually make it hard to have a steady relationship talk less of a home. The only solution I can think of is one moving towards a more regular (i.e. 8-5pm from home) job as one gets older. @OP While it may be to provide a better standard of living for the family, working away from home should be a joint decision of the couple. They should be clear in what they are trading in for the (hopefully) increased income they would be getting. Most men wouldn't want their wives being away from home, as the average Nigerian men shy away from ladies with travelling jobs like air hostesses. Men need to be more considerate of their wives when making career decisions. |
