Family › Re: The Aftermath Of DNA Test: My First Child Is Not Mine by bisiswag(f): 10:23pm On Oct 26, 2022 |
Meektunz: Been married for over 5 years now and ever since my wife gave birth to my first child, I've been suspecting that it's not my child due to no sense of resemblance.
I finally did a DNA test but unfortunately the result shows that I'm not the father of my first child. No doubt my wife loves me so much and honestly she has done a lot, sacrificed alot for me.
My conscience never allowed me to end the marriage because honestly she is a good wife one could ever ask for though she has her bad sides.
Since the result came out, I never told her or confronted her because I'm very very certain that once I confront her the marriage will end cos alot will happen but everyday once I see the boy and remember, I get so angry but after some time when we are all playing as a family I will forget.
I still do everything a father could do for his son. Honestly it's not easy to forget about everything.
What do you advise me to do guys? You say she is a good woman. Could your true baby have bn swapped @ birth due to negligence or on purpose. Best you confront her and know the truth. I am female, but the worst thing ever on earth is paternity fraud, raising another person's kid without your knowledge has to hurt like hell. Whatever you do just be sure to get the truth out of her. Wishing you God's grace to bear whatever that truth is. |

Literature › Re: On Nairaland Writers And Their Clients: A Wake Up Call. by bisiswag(f): 5:56am On Jul 23, 2022 |
Lothlorien: Good morning folks,
I trust you all have had a pleasant day so far. I'll just dig right into the topic. I am keeping this “short and sweet”
Like Uatu The Watcher, I have been observing the “drama” between many Nairaland writers and their clients. It can be quite entertaining. Some of it is funny, some of it ludicrous, while some is just plain sad. It can be quite depressing and aggravating when you get a “Kansas City Shuffle” played on you after toiling for hours(sometimes days or even weeks) on a 5000 word piece. It’s the stuff of nightmares! However, I have discovered that the real problem lies with the writer. That’s right. Nairaland writers are their own worst enemies. Let me explain.
NUMBER ONE: Majority of you have no idea how the business of writing works! The ignorance and mediocrity is so thick and palpable you can almost cut it with a knife. If you want to enter any business or any field of study, the first thing you do is: AQUIRE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THAT FIELD! I mean isn’t that why people go to school in the first place? I see a lot of folks around here say “I am a writer” but can’t even construct a simple paragraph. Some of their paragraphs look like it was shot full of holes by some drug crazed soldier.
There is no rule of thumb that says you must have a background in the arts to be a writer, but in the name of the spirit of creativity, know your work! Quincy Jones once said: “you have got to respect the gift God gave you by learning your craft”. It’s that simple. How do you expect all the contractors and clients running around Nairaland to respect you when you write without skill? No skill, no fluidity and no coherence gets you ZERO money.
How do you hone your skills? Simple. It is a four letter word. READ! A good writer is not just a reader, but an insatiable reader. Read everything. Know something about everything, and everything about something. If you write for 1hour, read for 3hours. Why? What you read is stored in your mind even when you can’t seem to recall it. It flows into your writing over time. Ever notice yourself using words and expressions in your work you can’t remember where you learnt them? Chances are you read it or learnt it somehow. You want to be an exceptional writer? This is how you do it. No shortcuts. Anybody can call themselves “a writer”, but it’s not something you parrot. You earn it by investing days, months and years developing yourself. Many of you need to get off Nairaland and go learn some basic writing.
NUMBER TWO: BE SMART! For the love of God acquire and apply wisdom. It’s easy to see that many of you are simpletons and neophytes that’s why you keep getting scammed from every corner. It’s so easy it’s like taking candy from a baby. Now here is something to help you: NEVER release or submit a work without getting at least 50% of your fee. It is willful naïveté on your part to think that a client (who most times is faceless) will hold up their end of the bargain on a job, especially when you have never worked with said faceless client.
I have only done two(2) jobs in my life where I was paid in full after submitting the work. The first is the lowest I have ever been paid for a job. It was 5000 Naira for a one page speech. That’s right, one page. It was barely 500 words. And the money was practically ready before I delivered it. It took barely 30minutes to write.
The second was a piece I did for an online American magazine. It was less than 1000 words and I was paid 25k for it. Of course I had to wait because their method of operation(payment wise) wouldn’t work with my SOP. A piece of advice:
Barring a client whose integrity you have tested on previous jobs, don’t place 100% trust in any online contractor. What most of them even call writing offers on Nairaland are practically hopeless. When you are done with any job, withhold it and send bits of the finished work(ebook, article etc) enough to guarantee its authenticity but not enough for the client to piece a substantial part of the work from. For example, if you write an ebook for a client, send a few pages(no more than 2) from a middle chapter in the book. Make it random. For an article, send only one paragraph. Yes, I said one paragraph. No jokes.
Many of you are so eager to grab a “job” and show your “skill” that you inadvertently display your lack of tact and experience. Be wise. Show some common sense. Some jobs here are not even worth the time or energy. You would find it a more valuable use of your time learning how to rope calves than writing some silly article for some shady contractor.
I have never taken a job from Nairaland because a great deal of what passes for “writing jobs” on this forum is nonsensical. Really. Add to that: a host of thieving and forked tongued clients and contractors. I get my jobs mostly from referrals and from Twitter. In my opinion, if you really want to make a living from writing, Nairaland is not your Eldorado. I am not saying you can’t get good jobs here, but don’t spend all your time chasing after every post that says: “Writers Needed” or “Opportunity for Writers”. You can’t even do a decent data plan from what they pay. This brings me to my third and final point.
NUMBER THREE: VALUE! In the business of writing, it is VERY important for you to know what you are worth. I can’t stress this enough. The only way to command good pay for your job is to know your value. And you can’t talk about value if you write like an inebriated youth. I am appalled at what Nairaland writers accept as “Standard Pay”. 1naira or 2naira per word. Really? Seriously? In this day and age? It is ridiculous and demeaning. I once saw someone advertise a job here and the pay was even in kobo. I was shocked! Wait, can you even buy anything on the streets today for 1naira You writers need to wake up! WAKE UP!! You are the reason why clients and contractors keep playing you around and acting like small gods on this forum. If only you know what some folks outside Nairaland are willing to offer for quality work, you will never waste time here again.
On another post offering a job, I observed a “writer” advertising his skills. Apparently, he could write short stories between 1000 and 2000 words for 500naira! Unbelievable! This is why I said initially that many of you have no idea what the business of writing is about. Do you know what it takes to write a quality short story or piece for 2000 words? Except your writing is poor or you intend to plagiarize, you will never accept such miserable offers. Some of these clients are your fellow writers. They take jobs worth 300k and above and rush to Nairaland to outsource it for 1naira per word. They may end up paying you 30k or 50k(if you are fortunate) for the job and waltz away with a cool 250k for doing nothing! If you are smart and wise(point number two)you will know how to hook them and bill them.
If you are reading this and still charge clients for jobs at 1naira, 2naira you need to reevaluate what you are doing. Like I said earlier, the lowest I have ever been paid for a job is 5k(and I don’t even accept that kind of job anymore). Please understand me, I am not saying you shouldn’t start from somewhere. There will always be the days of little beginnings. You can’t make it to the top in a single leap. But in writing, even your little beginning should have a firm footing beneath you.
Go back and work on your craft. You want to command good pay? Pay the price of painstaking study. I don’t mean go back to school. Read books from exceptional writers. Both online and offline. When you watch movies, cartoons or listen to music, be on the look out for words, expressions or ideologies that you are unfamiliar with. Read newspapers. Watch documentaries. Write what you see and hear until it becomes second nature.
I once submitted a piece for an online platform that I will not name. The editor in charge of our section sent me a mail and said: “your piece was incredibly well written”. When it was time for the editing proper, the process was fast and fluid. Why? I had done my home work. The piece in question was over a thousand words and it took less than two hours to write.
With deep thanks to God, I have never grovelled for a job. When I make a pitch, I let my samples do my talking for me(when you have done your home work, your confidence soars like an eagle). It’s useless to tell a potential client that you are a writer. I can write articles, stories. So? It doesn’t amount to the proverbial hill of beans. And this is something you should learn: every client knows great writing when they see one. Even when they try to act cool, they know when they have quality in their hands. When a job is worth 50k and the client wants to pay 10k, I explain politely why I can’t take the job and go my merry way. I don’t sweat it. I have gone months on end without taking any job. That’s because my previous jobs always pay well enough that I can go another seven months without bothering.
Once again, you need to wake up. Sharpen your skills and launch out into the deep. Stop playing games here. You will end up writing 10 articles of a thousand words each and get nothing but a classic WhatsApp block for your troubles. Acquire knowledge, work smart, be polite and graceful yet subtle as a serpent. That’s right, the advice in the Bible is still very much valid. And of course, understand the value of your time and craft.
Lothlorien. Thanks. Please how much would be ideal to charge for writing a complete biography? |

Romance › Re: After Suffering With Him, He Dumped Me...i'm Dying by bisiswag(f): 6:01am On May 28, 2022 |
Gracelander: I never knew this is what heart break feels like, I'm shattered and broken.
I started dating him from 100 level till we graduated, it's been five years now. We suffered and passed through a lot together, I made a lot of sacrifices for him and even had two painful abortions for him.
But he always complained that I got fat and he liked slim girls, he broke up with me in the most excruciating manner. I noticed changes a few months back but he kept lying to me not knowing he was seeing another girl.
The girl chatted me up few days back to know her stand and I told her everything, he even posted pictures he had with the girl, this is someone that hates pictures and hardly takes one with me regardless of how much I beg. He doesn't even post his own pictures but he's already posting the girls pictures.
The girl is his spec and more attractive than me... I'm just ashamed of myself. The girl decided to stick with him even after everything I told her so she could leave him including the abortion part.
I've wished him well but I'm in serious pain, I've been crying for days now and unable to eat. I gave him everything, he was my first ever guy. I wish he could come back, I'm ready to forgive him.
How can move on from this heart break, it's killing me slowly. Sorry for the hurt in your heart. Dust yourself up, and move on. It is what it is. Find ways to better yourself, he did you dirty but trust me, life always comes back in full circle. It may only take some time. Leave him be and take your dignity with you. Other young girls and boys should learn from this please. Too much betrayal out there, guard your hearts. |

Legendoo: Man must submit to a higher purpose.
While I understand the skepticism with today's churches. If you dump a set of rules you will subscribe to another.
So ask yourselves, if I dump religion what is the higher purpose?
Dumping religion means you've accepted your true state , a godless state and have taken a scientific stance of being an animal.
If you are an animal , then there are no rules, without rules, chaos ensues.
Religion is the bedrock for all morality and the basis of law. You shouldn't kill in the Bible for example, and by law killing also has consequences.
I think religion is just for guidance and it's ability to restrict you when no one is looking. When people dump guidance what then do they follow?
My guess , wokeness, a state of lawlessness, perversion and chaos, where everything goes. |

We have done a serious research to get the list of best secondary schools in Nigeria. Sadly, all (or better still majority) are private owned either by individuals or religious body.

It is very important to know that most students that pass through these schools come out very bright. They make good grades in the examinations (both internal and external). Parents should ensure that they get a good secondary school for their children. Secondary schools are pivotal to the development of your child. It goes a long way in molding your child and in helping them make relevant choices as regards their careers.

Loyola Jesuit College - Boarding
This is a Catholic owned Secondary school located in Gidan Mangoro along karu-Karshi road on the outskirts of the city. The school is wholly a boarding school using centuries old strictly catholic inspired curriculum and they’re stiff with upholding their principles nevertheless the school is up to date with modern trends in all round child Education.
Nigerian Turkish International School (Day School)
Another of the big schools patronized by the high and mighty of Abuja, this school has one slight disadvantage though which is that it’s location is within a commercial hub (Monrovia street in Wuse 2) in the city center possibly a bit of distraction to the pupils but in terms of having sound facilities and management in place, it’s one of Abuja’s best.
International Community School, Jabi
Targeting mostly the expatriate community in Abuja the ICS now at the more serene Jabi district from their previous location at Wuse 2, the ICS is a school that provides an enabling environment for world class qualitative learning.
Olumawu College, Wuse 2
A bit on the middle ground, Olumawu is relatively more affordable than the other schools on this list, but also of high standard. Founded in 1993 by one of Nigeria’s leading Educationists Margaret Olumawu, the school has lived up to its reputation of providing qualitative secondary schooling to Nigerians.

kennethfranc: Make I hear.... some of their men are very toxic and dangerous when they are not with their suit, bag and umbrella. I had one as a neighbor yrs back, his wife avoids anything that might stir up argument cuz it always ends with a slap. But once they step out for outreach they become an enviable couple. U sabi them well. So cultlike. Nothing to envy about them o. Y'all be guided. |

Lilipo: Interesting!
I disagree with your bolded statement. Its always best to compare like for like instead of making sweeping statements. In my opinion, state schools in UK are way better than public schools in Nigeria. Some state schools in UK may be comparable to some private schools in Nigeria (but not the top private ones).
Thanks for the info. Please any idea on how much the public schools cost?
Note the definitions below British definition of State school - A school that is funded and controlled by the state and no fees are charged British definition of Public school - A school, in England and Wales (not Scotland) that is fee charging and is paid for by parents.
What we term 'public' in Nigeria is called 'state' in United Kingdom and what we term 'private' in Nigeria is termed 'public' in England and Wales (not sure of what it is called in Scotland). Context here is SCHOOLS.
Not all state schools in UK are as bad as you have described. There is a reason for OFSTED ratings but I agree that some schools may be below the expected standard. These are due to many reasons eg if you live in an economically deprived area or perhaps where most parents are on benefits among many other reasons.
My advise would be, if you are immigrating with children, consider areas that have good state schools. If you can afford public school, it is well worth the fees. |

Then tomorrow the government will be borrowing 3 billion dollars to fight terrorism that could be avoided with less than 10 thousand naira... Star comment. Talk about hitting the nail on the head. Nuisance everywhere, haba. |

I don't quite get all the hullabaloo about the couple not mentioning IVF. Of course they know we are fully aware it's IVF and they are only acknowledging Jehovah God because a lot of couples go through IVF and still fail. That is the God factor they wanna appreciate. There is always a spiritual component to Science. Don't get it twisted. |

Seeing this post reminded me of my dear sweet mum. Grand bae refused sending me away to a boarding house and the young me then was angry cos all my peers were going away. So grateful to that woman. Parents please pay attention to your precious ones cos even kids as little as 3 are being bullied. Have the number of kids you can adequately care and look out for. The world is evil! |

Jirehrealestate: Fury is a beast. Wilder is wild but the hunger to 'kill instantly' made him lose focus.
Fury went down twice. Kept leaning on Wilder and equally dodging those hard hooks.
His trick worked. Wilder gassed out and Fury went for the kill.
Fury used both hands. Wilder kept looking for the Left.
My verdict, nobody knows Fury's 'code' yet. He's a con-man. |

Gratefulheart1: Imagine! The horror of discrimination. Sad tale of two young bloods who should have enjoyed the better part of their lives together, when they were still young and bouncing, but their sweet bond of love was severed by the color of their skins. What benefit are they to one another, now that their lives are almost expired? Although son of men say, half cake is better than non. But some half cake can make you shed tears, when you know what the full cake could have looked like. Can we even call this half cake or one quarter cake? When I scrolled up again to compare the pictures, when they were both young, fresh and looking all smart to now when they're aged, it's such a sad sight, I must say.
Back then, no sane white parents would approve their white daughter dating a Negro. No! Funny enough this black guy is redbone, not black as such, could be mistaken for white. Yet back then, Black is Black; as long as you're not White, you're Black.
Peak of discrimination and racism. Black race has come a long way. Gone through a lot of shiit to be where it is today. Days when you'll have to wait and bow for White to pass on the road before you pass. Days when as a Black, you can't enter the same Bar with Whites.
When I remember the sacrifices of people like Martin Luther Jr., Malcom X, Vivien Thomas, Carl Brashear etc. how they used their lives as ransom for Black freedom, I shake my head for what Blacks are today.
Shame on Blacks. You see these Black Americans with no sense or any memory left, of where they've come from in history.
All they do is lazy around, steal, loot shops, go to gym, eat, smoke, sag, put tattoo on their bodies, wear big chains, rings and oversize cloths; flaunt dollar and expensive possessions, showoff, intimidate others, play all day, speak wrong English, go to party, do gangsterism, listen to hip hop music and above it all sex, sex and sex. No Iota of sense. Black will always be black, whether African or Black American. Oh my goodness. I was demoralised during my first trip to the States. Oh no. The state of black Americans,just don't know how they got it all wrong. Well prolly the racism which mind you despite having come a long way is still there and had done a number on their psyche permanently. Another thing that baffled me was how they treated the white chick's all so nice but to their own,they treated them so poorly. Sorry had to quote for ref purposes and YES black is black no matter the geographical location |

jaxxy: Very good question with a simple answer. Our Politicians. 
Our politicians are the best criminals and thought these misguided youths the benefits of corruption. Our compromised security systems approved it as legal and permissible.  Spot on . Plus practically non existent justice system. No consequences for actions. Being a criminal in naija even gives you more protection. What a country. We can't all run away. We really need to get it right. |
