I checked NYSC senate list yesterday and I was surprised - to say the very least. I discovered that Unilorin mobilized more than 210 Mathematics and 440 English graduate in just one NYSC batch. Nairalanders, na one batch oo, no be one year. I was like, na so plenty people dey choose maths reach? Na so maths take simple? Na so people pass their post jamb reach? All through my sessions in OAU, from 100 to 400 level, we weren't up to 200. Only 20 graduated before us and like 18 in my set. The set after me were much but still, they weren't up to 40, and that's adding spillover candidates. There are more applicants for Unilorin admission than OAU but I think it's a little too much. I might be wrong. I checked other schools - Mathematics (specifically) pcms were very few. The highest I saw was 50 or 55 (I think) and I wasn't just checking a specific batch. Many schools offered maths but there were no candidates, some only had one or two. OAU grantrs up to 270 people admission into English department but 480 for unilorin, boy, that's crazy. Unilorin undergrad and graduates in the house who took maths, abegi let me see your MTH 101 (Introductory mathematics) and MTH 201 (Mathematical methods). This is not to cast aspersions on you but to satisfy my curiosity that you're indeed better by far and you have good students. Our own introductory na 5 unit course and every OAU graduate knows what's up. |
Peppul:You can't (and shouldn't) use Nigeria for anything surveys. It's not in your best interest. You'd have to use a VPN. Besides, yougov is not available for Nigerians. You get paid through gift cards. Amazon, visa, Starbucks, etc. You may want to sell your gift card to me, at $1 for 210 Naira. Only Amazon!!! |
timitayo77:They are web based. Yougov, unlike Prolific, is not heavily firewalled, or atleast to panelist. You could get away with a VPN on Prolific but I have not, yet. |
I see you, vbang. What's your take? |
Making money answering surveys is simply a matter of INTELLIGENCE, MEMORY, mobile data, a smartphone and availability. I capitalized intelligence and memeory because it is extremely important; we cannot stress that enough. This is an open thread for Nairalanders to share what has really worked for them and what has not. No PMS please, I take God beg una; share everything here. If you don't understand any terminology, google is your friend. Sending email pms and mobile number at every potential referral boss is probably one of the reasons this section sucks. So there is actually survey-only sites and GPT sites. GPT sites aren't just dedicated to just surveys; there are actually other ways to earn money, that's why they are called Get-Paid-to. Now I have to state here that my knowledge is pretty limited that's why I'm asking for contributions. I use VPN for surveys because I can't think of one site that permits Nigerians for surveys or has the same earning potential as tier one countries. Even if there's, you'd spend anywhere from 4 - 5 months to earn $10, which sucks. You end up not realizing data bills. I'm also paranoid because I don't want a site that end up demanding drivers license when I want to cashout, or they stop sending surveys when you are few dollars short of their threshold. I have cashed out 2 or 3 times on Yougov and they paid me. So I can vouch for them. I have also attempted surveys on Swagbucks, Mypoints and Mturk and it work pretty well. I have to state here that there's this site, Prolific, that pays fucking well in a short time and it's pretty consistent. You can earn $50 in two weeks but I have not been able to get in fully because, like other survey-only sites, the site is heavily firewalled. VPN no go work. Also, crowdtap and Quickthought. I think they are also called Fetchreward. I was reading another thread and this guy talked about OnePoll, PollPay, Attapoll, etc. I have not tried them out, but let's hear what has worked for you and what hasn't. Which survey sites you use, the earning potential, how you make more money on the site and any other thing, really. |
Newguyhere:Let me in on your mastery - the programming language you are good at, a lnk to the video and audio tutorials, your tutors, PDFs, and any other thing really that you think I need to know, if you don't mind |
I have digital tokens in my wallet that can be converted for visa card details, Security, and all. Please send a message to samuelbeuu@gmail.com for my bank account details; when I get your payment, I send the card details to you. I'll only sell the $25 denomination, and they are four, actually. |
Dething:Gbam!!!! And I would write your words in letters of gold again No room for such surprises in Christ Jesus. If you are not willing to marry anyone, there is no reason for courship or relationship in the first place. All real christians know that relationship/courship is only targeting marriage and nothing more Can I marry your sense, please? Sense will not kill you!! |
yhenny:You didn't answer me. Please read the question I asked you earlier. Please check. I quoted this very write-up!!! |
Dynamique:Thank you. Are you out of state? |
yhenny:When will the current Msc session end? You mean they would admit before your session ends which I assume should be around March 2019 (just heard of ASUU strike)? And if they admit, do you think two we could run masters concurrently like that? Are there Msc students who came in before you (not people with poor performance)? |
BoboKush:Thank you very much. Do you have idea of schools that would take me without PGD? How long does PGD last? |
OptimistBrain:Are you just assuming or talking based on facts? Some folks started the session August/September 2018, and August/September 2019 makes it 12 months, not 18 months. Are you saying they admit before the session of the current students expires (or at a fixed time each year)? Remember, undergraduate runs for 12 months or less and that's why universities admit towards the expiration of the current session, which makes undergraduate admission a yearly one. But unlike undergraduate, since masters run for 18 months, don't you think it follows similar pattern? Towards expiration of current UniIlorin masters session which is actually Dec/Jan and masters students hop in Feb 2020? Do you understand what I wrote? Am I wrong? Please read my post to the guy above you. |
I need answers!!!! |
SEEDORF441:Okay, thank you very much, but I still have a question. Do universities sell masters form yearly or towards the end of the current masters session? Like Unilorin masters runs for 18 months and I read that the last time they sold masters form was May - July, 2018, the students wrote the exam on July 7th if I remember vividly. This means, based on my assumption, that Unilorin will not sell masters form this year? Program runs for 18 months so calculating, methinks they don't want to admit any more postgraduate students till the 18 months for the current session expires? Am I right? Also, Unilag just admitted someone I know so they are pretty much off the table too for now. Am I getting it wrong? |
Thank you very much for clicking, hahaha. So I was one point short of a 3rd class; 2.5 on the dot, hahaha. I finished from one of the recognized universities in this country. I read mathematics at the Bsc level and thinking of furthering in same at the masters level and that's about it. However, I have questions to enable me make the right decisions. 1) Do all the schools in the subject (Unilorin, Unilag, UI, LASU, UniPort, ABU, UNN and UNIBEN) admit Masters students yearly? That's quite ignorant but I'm asking because I am not sure. 2) I'll be rounding off service by July 2019 and I'm hard pressed: I wouldn't want to waste time at home if the job is not forthcoming, so which of these unis would still be selling form by June/July (I don't want to spend Dec at home) ? Asking because I need to tender my NYSC discharge certificate which is not ready! Do I need to tender stuffs like primary and secondary school certificates in the process? 3) Since I don't have up to 3.0, do I stand a chance without going the PGD route? If yes, which recognized first-generation federal university (anywhere in the south west or east, lol, I don't care) ? If no, which ones on the list? 4) Will you kindly tell me when forms for the university masters in 2019 will be on sale? Any idea? Thanks guy, I really appreciate. |
Muttee:APC just took over in 2015. All leaders from higher up to the lowest from the 1940s till date are the problem, not APC regime. We have a leadership problem and until we get it right, we'll continue to wallow in poverty. |
showafrica:I could not agree more. Where person go start sef? May God help us!!! |
MrBrownJay1:Nice to hear your opinion Jay. Let me hear others too. |
EggSauce:You don't realize you're actually part of the problem. |
I'm sick and tired of this country honestly. A land where criminals receive a pat on the shoulder for a job well done, a land where thievery pays; and connection makes a way for you; a land where corruption and lawlessness is the order of the day; a land where criminals have the audacity to smile in public and nobody gives a Bleep. We will make Nigeria great someday!!! |
MrBrownJay1:Sounds nice, hahaha. It ain't their main responsibility? Don't cause a scene here, man. It is the woman's main responsibility to care for the child and by implication her home, since she cares for the child at home. And making that obvious doesn't make my outlook on women bad. You went ahead to prove your point. MrBrownJay1:I don't get! What's the point of this argument? Are you saying the fact that bad things happen implies there's no chief responsibility? Granted, chief responsibility could change in a different circumstances or scenario but we're talking ceteris paribus here. MrBrownJay1:Again, I don't exactly get your point. Go and tell your 10th century great grand father whose wife died in childbirth to use formula. I think that helps!!! Wait oo, we just got a hang of these things recently! I mean we just became modern recently but people have always survived. How do they cope with new borns whose mom died? Formula? The child needs milk in the first few years and I doubt another woman doesn't breastfeed the baby, and I mean everywhere until the 19th century. One fellow even said, when his mom died, motherly roles was the main reason he didn't live with his dad. And even if primitive people who have always survived (How?) did manage to get formula, it cannot be compared to the warmth, nutrient, and comfort the child derives by sucking at the breast. Remember, food, unlike mobile phones, electricity is one of the basic necessities of life. Now, because of this progressive mentality, many women (I mean Western women) no longer breastfeed their child, and talking about motherly/femine role for the woman is at best sexist, chai. My point is, when the mother dies, there's a void that has to be filled by another woman because a man cannot properly fit in. Men and women have responsibilities for the child but IT IS THE WOMAN who carries way more responsibility. It certainly is not my responsibility to birth the child? Can we share that? Did the maker delegate equal responsibility for child birth to both sexes? Can we both nurse the child? Also, did the maker delegate equal responsibility for breastfeeding to both sexes? Call me sexist and to be very very honest, I agree 100%, that's why in a sense White women do not appeal to me. MrBrownJay1:Let me ask you. Do you know how many times new borns suck at the breast in just one year? Your mother calls you and delegates washing dishes to you, cooking to your elder sister, sweeping the parlour to younger brother, your elder brother washes daddy's car. He also wash daddy and mummy's clothes. And he's throwing tantrum saying it's not fair. But why? He's insisting that he get to carry out two hard chores while his younger ones only do one. He was made to understand that although division of labour is necessary; his younger ones cannot wash daddy's thick jeans like he could or mummy's sweater and as a matter of fact, their hands cannot get to the top of his car *wetin dem dey call am sef* like his hand could. Besides he can do it far better than any of them could. If God wanted both genders to share equally in nursing the child, he could. He would either give men the ability to birth and women the ability to nurse or vice versa. Did he do that? No. Nursing the child is the responsibility of both parent but it is the mother's main responsibility. Period. MrBrownJay1:Like the existence of God (some believe a stone is God, others trees, while others the sun, but there seems to be a general consensus among men that there's a God. What that God is, is the bone of contention), does it not strike a cord when the general consensus of people thousands of miles apart, separated by oceans and seas, who know absolutely nothing about each other and worship differently conclude the same thing? What is bringing people to that conclusion? Are women physical stronger? If no, what does strength tells you about provision? If we have different biological structures doesn't it say much about responsibilities? . You think we're talking about 21st century white collar job here where you only have to pick phone calls, sit down all day long signing documents? MrBrownJay1:It works for them and it may not work for us. I am glad I met another progressive Nigerian and that's about it. The essence of my post is TO HEAR opinion of people (Nigerians) who have somewhat different beliefs to the White. Carry your pikin go office, if the pikin dey hungry, rush am go him mama place, na you go tire, you know how many times new borns dey chop in a day? If you think my opinion is sexist, yours too is sexist to me, because I don't see how nursing roles can be equitable. Everyone has a right to believe what they want to and that's it. I'm out on an opinion venture not a judgemental one. Thanks!!!! |
MrBrownJay1:Nice place, haha! There you go again! Playing the religion card when we talk about traditional gender roles. How are they related? Even Pagans who know nothing about Christianity, Islam or the Jewish religion have imbibed this standard of living, only few dissenters btw which is to be expected for any beliefs system Do you know that gender roles have taken precendence because it's just a natural morph of the genders? It's almost nature-inspired. The roles of the genders have always been evident. In lands thousands of miles apart where the two natives have not the slightest clue they even exist, it just happens by virtue of natural revelation that they obey traditional gender roles to thee letter--like the woman's chief responsibility is to care for the infants and by extension, the home. You fit breastfeed? Abi God give you, man, nursing roles? The man is physically stronger so he can go out hunting and other strenuous tasks that puts food on the table, nothing of Bible here, just natural revelation. I'm not saying it must be right because it has been in vogue since the inception of man, on the contrary, I'm only saying it has nothing to do with religion. Religion may only re-echo what's clearly evident. |
Iamicekid:Trust me guy, I have seen it all. I am a Reddit freak and I have read it all. Even though the opinion of redditors and Quorans doesn't reflect all America as a whole. The White woman is more exposed, she feels she has a right, you dare not Bleep with her, but walk through a Nigerian city and you'd see that many females who would take so many shits and don't even argue it that the Whites wouldn't, not because they are ignorant but it's got to do with a combination of factors. As for name, most females I have read about on predominantly White forums said they took hubby's name because they hated theirs, haha, lol, it's too difficult to pronounce, wanted to share name with their kids and not because they wanted to share their identity with their husbands, only a few echoed that. After all, as they say, that's incredibly sexist. I can give you reddit links if you don't mind. Yes, there are women who do what they want either in Naija, US, Finland or Senegal, lol, so I get you. I'm saying, take for example adopting husband's name, imo, 2/10 adopt husband's name in America while 9/10 do it here. The way you handle her matters a lot but it's borderline irrelevant. A White woman wey no care about divorce knowing full well the courts will side her, wey no give 2 Bleep about you, knowing full well she could launch into the dating sphere and get another person easily. Ogbeni, forget that thing!!! Na Naija lady got stigma to deal with. Those women dey craze for head oo and it's affecting African-American women immensely, very immensely, too. I actually thought of dating White women but I cannot put up with their shit, so decided against that. Where do you find women with that traditional mentality? In space, lol, I guess because they are few and far between! I am the man, we both enjoy the love, freedom, and all that but you have to listen to me, lol. I asked one fellow on Reddit some minutes ago and the fellow said he/she would divorce her/his husband if he didn't agree to hyphenate their kid's name. Divorce/breakup with hubby for this? Yes, that's what I'm talking about and it's really that bad! |
MrBrownJay1:Nice profile pics, by the way, where's that? Traditional gender roles is NOT oppressing women, not in any form or fashion. For goodness sake, how is it oppressing women? Women taking their husband's name, looking after the home and kids, listening to hubby's words as final if it doesn't violate God's commandments or merely a matter of opinion since there can hardly be two drivers in a vehicle etc etc. People also change for the worse; I hope you understand that? Is this a forward or backward change? Do you see only ugliness and awkwardness in this otherwise beautiful living standards? As for me, and I believe I speak for a large majority of Nigerians, I'd rather remain single, I am not in any way the bossy type tbh, than marry a woman with this western attitude and mentality whether they live in the West or in Naija. Cut your coat, they say, according to your size! |
MrBrownJay1:Yes, the standards is different in the US but the standards changed some 40 years ago. Did it change for the better or worse? It wasn't like that 100, 200, or 250 years back, even in the US. The culture is not just limited to Africa, but Asia and pretty much some parts of Europe. The Carribeans and even South America. |
Iamicekid:I think I agree with you. Every man whether he earns millions or earns peanut should help do house chores, but as a point of duty? Abegi oo!!! I have heard of many women in Nollywood who didn't take up hubby's name but I don't know of any in my daily life who did, lol. Meanwhile, if you look at White marriages, it's staggering different. And also, on the other point of discussions I talked about. The margin could bleed any standard of comparisons, lol. You get!!! |
MrBrownJay1:Yes I understand your point of view, just trying to hear from a Nigerian point of view, or better still, a conservative traditional point of view. I drop comments that sometimes voices traditional conservative beliefs on those forums and methinks I am assuming too much that's why I asked here. And yes, I could not agree more, anyone who doesn't want to deal with all that shouldn't marry any of their women. |
I have been on Quora and Reddit for quite sometime and I don't like American culture to be honest. There's much to be desired but the vast majority just pisses me off. I was reading a post on reddit and, O boy, most of the commenters said the OP is an asshole because, on kids adopting a hyphenated surname, among other reasons for the roasting, he said his kids taking a hypenated surname would make him, "to despise the name/children and it wouldn’t be healthy for the relationships." And that got me thinking. The woman has very good reasons to make that demands because she doesn’t want her family name to die (From her step father) as all his children are women, but I asked myself, must he compromise? Is he an asshole because he wouldn't compromise? I honestly disagree! Oh, and after all, she suffered all the pain of pregnancy and childbirth and this is not a place where men pay bride price. Both genders have equal rights in the partnership. It's an American forum, of course, I wasn't expecting anything else. So I would like the opinion of men, especially married men on Nairaland even though your opinion doesn't really represent Nigerians as a whole. If the guy's question had been, am I a asshole for preventing my wife from keeping her name? O boy, that guy don enter one chance, them do roast am tire! What is a deal breaker for you guys? Your wife refuses to take your name after marriage for no reason other than she doesn't want to. Your wife is insisting that your kids must necessarily take her father's name, or she divorces you. Your wife is asking for a compromise, kid's take a hyphenated surname where her name comes first then yours or yours comes first and then hers. Your wife makes roughly the same income as you do and insists that you do the house chores, cooking, washing the dishes etc etc, 50/50 since you equally contribute in maintenance. You wash today, she wash tomorrow, like drafting a timetable. You don't contribute equally but she gives her fair share? She relies on you? You have to compromise on everything because you don't have the final word, like a partnership. Which of these guys, is a deal-breaker for you? I don't want response from teenagers who don't know any better. |
pioneerwriter:The driver's license is not mine but I assume I should be able to use it since the owner is aware. But I don't have a document that verifies my home address, so what should I do? Do you want me to register under your link? |
