I see. You need to overcome the shyness. Otherwise, you may lose opportunities.
I consider myself as quiet but over the years I have learned to interact/approach anyone. After a while you will get used to it and it won't be a big deal.
guobe: I was in the traditional marriage ceremony of my colleague in the office today, and when I was there with my other office colleagues, the bride whose traditional wedding rite was just concluded walked up to me and whispered that I was actually the reason the marriage was holding.
I had to do a flashback and remembered that when she was a youth corper in my place of work.
I Jokingly took her hands and introduced her to all my male colleagues in the office telling them that she is a nice person and that they exchange contacts with her.
One of my sharp colleagues I introduced to her will be getting married to her. May the good Lord bless their union in Jesus name.
You have done well. Do you by chance know another good one you can introduce to me? No kidding.
Rich4god: Not really... If you start teaching after graduation, let's say 25 years. If you move into lecturing after 10years, you will be 35 years. That's still very young age for the candidate.
Would the person get a PhD within 10 years of graduation before joining the university or joining with an MSc?
Let govt officially create a career path for teachers/lecturers. Even though some of them are already doing it. But let it be official now.
Let govt and teachers council and NUC make it mandatory that lecturers should only be employed from secondary school teachers and secondary school teachers should only be employed from primary and nursery school teachers.
This is how it will work.
Let's say a graduate(BSc, B.Ed, NCE) starts his or her teaching career as a primary or nursery school teacher. From there the teacher aquires more qualification and progress to secondary. Then from secondary, the teacher probably gets a master's or more degree, then during recruitment of lecturer whether private or public, the candidates that will apply are those who are secondary school teachers with the necessary qualifications.
If the university is looking for professionals from industries, let those set of lecturer be visiting lecturers.
Good thought. However, the university is a system and by the time person progresses to the university, they are close to the end of their career. They won't know much about the university system as someone who joined as a GA/AL shortly after graduation.
Nwagold: Odogwu s don’t care wat their wives do with their money . All bills on them , no complain . Na wen man s hand no strong , na him he Dey find who he go share bills with . It is the job of a man to provide for his family. So , pray and hustle , so that u won’t be arguing with ur wife on bills sharing formula. Na condition make crayfish bend.
There is no Odogwu in the abroad. The society is designed in a way that both partners need to contribute/share bills. Assuming their accomodation and other bills cost £2000 a month, the man makes £2100 per month and his wife makes £2200 do you think the man can still be Odogwu?
ideamonster: If the government wants to enforce it, they can. After all, they enforced immunisation and BVN and taxes and residents registration. If they want to enforce it, they will.
Some Northerners are not immunized. Their religion is not against BVN. Their religion allows them marry more than one wife and they believe they are expected to produce as many kids as possible. The country will be aflame if any government try to enforce it.
I think the only way it can be enforced is it Nigeria is split into different country.
ideamonster: It's no surprise that things are getting harder every year in Nigeria. Even before the subsidy removal, the cost of everyday items are on the rise.
You may have noticed that the size of bread that sold for N200 about 5 years ago now goes for N1000. This means that families today need to allocate 5 times amount of money to bread than they used to five years ago. What even makes it harder is that every year since 2015, Nigeria has added a minimum of 7 million children every year. This is more than the size of singapore. It is worth nothing that 63 million Nigerians are alive today, who had not ben born when Muhammadu Buhari was elected in 2015. And with Nigeria's current fertility rate of 5.31 children per mother, each additional birth is creating an increase in the number of people who need to be fed.
In light of the following, several people are exploring the possibility that should Nigeria place limits on child size per family similar to such a policy enacted by the government of China in the late 1970s. In the special report exploring this topic below, population scientists, policy analysts, statisticians and everyday people ask the question: Is it time for Nigeria to start limiting children born into each family in this economy?
Do you agree? Do you support it? What alternatives to such a policy exist?
Do you know that the only tree a monkey cannot climb is the banana tree.
Paradoxically, banana is what monkey likes the most. This implies that anytime banana is found in the hand of a monkey, it is most likely a gift from someone. The question is, why then can't Monkey climb banana tree, but can climb the tallest trees in the forest? Hence, the phrase "Who dash monkey banana?" was coined.
This little analogy is full of divine message to the right thinking human being. In the journey of life, there are several things you like but will never be achieved unless you are given by God Almighty. Therefore, it is not of him that willeth or of him that runneth but of God that showeth Mercy.
May His mercy continue to abide in, and with everyone of us forever.
Adranidoo: Controversial Nigerian lawyer and social media influencer, Ifunanya Excel has said she doesn’t want to get married or have children because it would “tie” her down.
She stated this in a recent interview with Yangi Media.
She said, “I am very ambitious. And I know marriage and children will tie me down. I grew up in a certain kind of home where me and my siblings experienced a lot of emotional neglect from our parents. And because of that, I have grown to know what is expected of me as a parent. I know that if I’m going to have a child, I have to give my child a 100 per cent dedication.
"And looking at my life and my goals and the things I want to achieve, I know that I won’t be able to adequately be a present parent and also be chasing my dreams. So, I just think it’s best not to have any.”
Ifunanya said people always tell her that with time her mindset would change but she does not think it will.
She added that everyday she sees reasons why her mindset on marriage and children will never change.
Good decision. Based on what she posts on Twitter, I don't think any responsible man will want her to raise kids.
NaBanga: Canada isn't a Muslim or super religious country. Women are not hidden in their houses or under rocks. I'm in the US and at times I hear the same rubbish. It is impossible to not find a woman, unless there is something internally wrong with the person seeking one out. There are plenty of good women in Canada (and the US) who are also single. If you aren't used to talking to women and just hoping to pay them for sez, then that is where the problem enters. You must know hot to relate to people well.
I totally agree with you that there are women everywhere. The problem is finding a wife. I don't know OP's specs but in some cities in Canada, it is hard to find a Nigerian lady the OP may considers a wife material. If he find a material, he may not be the person's spec or the person may not be interested in him. In some Canadian cities I have lived in, at a time you might not see one marriage material. In some cities, there are several marriage materials but the Nigerian guys there are still young or not ready. Some of the married people (men and women) have said they feel sorry for the single guys/ladies because there are hardly good marriage materials.
marlow1962: Yes. Make friends;l with everybody, even if you people will not be that close as friends, make friends with him or her (e get why I put him).
It is a good idea to make friends but I have realized that once there is nothing as platonic friendship between males and females.
