I really don't know where to start my comment from.

First, the photograph of said Pa Thaddeus have been investigated and seen to be that of Hon. Alpha Kanu from Sierra Leone, and that he's also a politician. Fact checked�

This have led to many folks disregarding the story as a scripted fallacious jargon. Which may be very true.

But...

As much as the world is concerned, we are only equipped with fragments of its secrets and knowledge.

I would tell anyone here to not dismiss this thread in its entirety because if you look well into it, events like this doesn't leave completely logical path for revalidation (as such may not be proven) as science demands.

You're not insane for experiencing the various things that happen in life that occurs as a one-off thing. What do we know?

Science is impeccably outstanding, but the metaphysical exists within the scientific. Continuing to solve mysteries, reconstructing phenomenon as they occur can give us a glimpse of the world we once had little knowledge of.

For me, I still remember and know what I saw in 2011 when I was in boarding school. It remains scary and a mystery to me, but if I tell anybody, I'd been deemed mentally unstable. It's not a question of literacy or whatnot.

12. Random. I just wanted to touch the water. I don't like getting in water though. Before my people would take me back

Just seeing this.

Fine wine!

Anytime any girl tells me she's a virgin, or I was raped. I become a lunatic.

My heart wants to believe her, but my brain usually come out and say 'don't be fooled boy, you know the truth, why believe that crap'.

Please ladies, this line is stale. If you were raped, please bring a report to show for that. Boys have been mumufied with the above lines from womenfolk. We need evidence.

You always have one relationship issue or the other. Well done, this one has finally made FP. Too much fiction here these days. It is about time I get alternates.

Phony relationship issues can affect readers here, don't contribute to such please.

Hundreds of thousands are depending on NL for insight on a daily basis, and one more untrue story will just spike the balance of things.

Just about yesterday after speaking with my Class advicer, I was left in a depressed state.

I am currently on my 400level IT and I am to return back to school this coming new year by January. He told me about my result. He said my CGPA is the highest so far. Which makes me his best student. I asked him for the exact CGPA which he replied with with a *4.06*. My God I wondered why he was glad to break such a sad news to me. I thought I had chances of making it a 4.1+ the previous semester. I told him thanks. But I know I wasn't Happy

I did the maths...and I found out that the highest CGPA I can make is 4.2+ after my final year(2 semesters left) I feel terrible right now. How can I shift it to 4.3+ Cgpa? I have heard of students borrowing courses but I don't really know if this could be one of their reasons for doing such.


NB: I am not in anyway trying to make it look like having such a CGPA is bad or I am ungrateful. It's just that I have plans of applying for scholarships to study abroad but won't such a Gp hinder me?

Pls I need someone to placate me with motivational words. I feel like a looser. After all these years of studies! What if I loose the passion for school or studies after returning next year? I feel real bad

What if I might even loose the chance of being the best graduating student of my set like my class adviser had said

Shebi this 4.2+ na upper division?

It's very important to get good grades whilst in school, but you need to develop outside of the classroom.

Given your best hypothetical 4.3+ cgpa, why not try and maintain that grade and also learning other things.

Here's my story. Before my 300l, I resolved to up my grade to my desired position. I got it and then, I'm no longer interested in the certificate anymore. I was learning how to do business and the likes.

You must do that to succeed in Nigeria.

Nothing is wrong with a man U-33, but I will tell you the advantage of an above 33 man or what most ladies look out for in them (and older men in general)

1. Financial stability: I put this first because it is (one of) the most importantant attraction. If you are old without money, one would wonder what you were doing in your youth.

2. Emotional maturity: The average woman is more emotionally mature than a guy her age. She has to look further to find a balance- MOST times. A guy has all the time to be stupid and if he decides to be stupid for life, there will be a woman for him. Women have to get sense on time, she has a biological clock to watch and most men do not have that fix-it mentality.

3. Older guys are more chilled: Age, experience and more money to their pockets has taught them to take life jeje. They don't get angry unnecessarily over petty issues like younger guys who see everything as a bruise on their fragile egos.

4. They are more caring, maybe fascinated by your juvenile displays. Those things you will do and make the younger guy go all red-pilled, the older guy will tell you sorry, make you carry your wahala dey go. He looks at you at as a child, with that smile on his face.

5. They are most times not scared of looking weak or not in control. Unlike younger guys who seek validation of their fellow younglings, an older guys is a man all by himself. But don't mistake this for stupidity, he is very well watching and calculating.

6. If you really wanna tap into wealth of experience/knowledge, then an older guy is your best bet. They witnessed Abacha's regime with clear eyes, they saw Yakubu miss that goal- he is like your History teacher. Also, his friends will most likely be his age group, some of their gfs would even be older than you- that is if you are really young. Except you are a bimbo, you will be on your toes to upgrade, that way you don't look stupid at their hangouts . I can't say the same thing for younger guys who just sit around and talk about ASUU strike.

7. Oh! Their voice! It gets deeper and subtly assertive as they age. When they talk, they exude this confidence and masculinity. It isn't forced, read off a book or some alfa male code. You just can't miss it.

...etc

There are exceptions, but on the average, there is really no comparison. We get finer with age, all things being equal.

Very true. Uburu jurugi isi. Jisie ike!

abeliver:
Hopefully there's no Barça fan in the family...

Never! None of the rest of my family is a bastardd.

abeliver:
SIMPLE!!!


the hatred me and my old man get for Liverpool....

My mom, Elder brother and myself hate Barcelona until eternity comes.

She hates their cheating Uefalona tactics, and we too.

Good lord!

The good are pretty much endangered species in this present world of ours.

Auntie Maynation, I might have seen your moniker across this forum unmentionable times but I never had to stop and catch a glimpse of what kinda heart pumps blood through your veins. I'd say it beyond good, it's angelic.

If not for anything, reading this thread (even though late) still adds to my experience that strangers are dangers waiting to happen, but also that some are worth the chance (and benefit of doubt). For a fact, you're still a bright light in a dark world.

Nairaland is a great place to be on (if you know how to navigate through the barrage of despicable individuals on it).

Bonne nuit!

Bros if you happen to stumble on the book no forget to mention your boy.

makydebbie:
I don't expect 99% of nlders to get my post, they'll interpret what I want them to interpret when my underlying message lies there.

At bold, yes yes he go suck.

Well I don't know if I captured what you intended to put out here but I made my own piece of view known.

Your attached shot is very much true. Me and Ifeanyi go drag that aspect die.

makydebbie:
Imagine if my husband isn't crazy about this ass anymore sigh.

This big round soft ass.

Auntie na adipose tissue (a kinda of fat) full there. But if he gets tired feed him breast.

Only bastarđ don't like ass or breast.

But if you changed that he couldn't handle you anymore, then na your fault and loss.

Ronald1:
Gamaphobic... I heard something like that xterday... Thank you tho...how can u help me

You're welcome.

Please note that Gamaphobia is the fear for marriage, while Philophobia is the fear of love/attraction.

Help?

You just have to do it scared.

Something I witnessed in March, two couples I respected very well and I share a close relationship with had a serious fight and I was caught between settling them, holding three kids from the horrible scene and all the hysteria, I just did my best while still scared of the outcome.

The man later called me and encouraged me to go ahead and get married (even though my head was screaming at me to run completely).

I'm developing an emotional shock absorber for that phase of life. We just have to grow up and get fuçked a little. Dare to see your fear roar it face.

Ronald1:
Mine is commitment.... Abeg who knows what phobia for love is called

You're Gamaphobic.

RemyDropShadow:
lol. It's actually a cool place if you're the fun loving type. But the girls here are too promiscuous that is what i can assure you.

I figured, but one will be very smart in that O-Town

RemyDropShadow:
Thanks for your input boss.
Whoever wants to marry should please stay the hell away from owerri. This is a rubbish town.

Hmm!

Like you've been told to stay away from her or gather evidence (through recorded conversations with her).

Na this Owerri I dey plan relocate to, Chai!

Njo ahia ejula ebe n'ile o!

I'm writing this post with a heavy heart

So I'm 21 and I finished secondary school at age 17 (2015) and to be honest I just got admission this year to study pharmacy while my mates are in their final year and it hurts alot because my mum keeps telling me that my cousin is in final year and is about serving next year and I'm just gaining admission to a university, she even uses her friend's child as an example and it made me go into a Little depression, I actually felt sad because for the first time a comparison actually hit me...

She claims they (my parents)are supposed to be resting and not paying school fee. That I'm stressing them and ever since I was a teenager I always vowed that I wanted to leave my father house before 25yrs of age

Now I'm studying a 5 years course (7 years to become a full graduate) and by then I'll be 28 I actually feel ashamed because this isn't what I wanted since I left secondary school
I wanted to finish on time and remove the burden from them

I've never failed jamb, my least Score was 245 but circumstances kept dragging me back

I finished my ND program in 2017 (Distinction in SLT Yabatech)

So it feels more like I'm parambulating up and down and don't know what I want for my self but I actually do!!

I need an advice or something to make me feel better or confident about my self

I completely understand what you're going through.

Same thing happened to me some years back, only difference was that it came from one of my siblings

See bro, you have to be strong at heart and focused on the program you want to pursue, it would not be easy but you have to brace up to the comments. Nothing hurts more than family saying things that cuts deeper.

I'm about to graduate (early next year) and I wouldn't want to be under anyone anymore.

Forget your cousins and relatives who are doing well, just live your life within the context that you understand and can sustain.

You have to start looking for means of sustaining yourself because she may start torturing you before funding your education.

Get some skills and and assist yourself as well.

It will be hard but your skills will ameliorate the suffering you'd experience.

I applied for mine since 2015, this is 2019. Four years later and was told it'll be out in January of 2020 which I still doubt. Nigeria is a useless country!

I enrolled on 26th September, 2013 and was issued a card on 5th December, 2018. That's 5years, 2months and about one week.

Hi, so I recently gained admission into the University of Ibadan and I've been thinking of a way to support myself...I was thinking of going into mining because of the vast mineral resources in the state but I heard mining is very capital intensive and highly risky..can anyone help me out with tips and pointers to get started??

Thanks in advance

If you go through this thread you'll see great ideas but it still boils down to what you want, your available skill and also your capital.

Yes, you can go into edibles, that is, packaged foods and cakes.

You can go into social media influencers' business.

You can enter cryptocurrency, forex trading, currency exchange.

Web development and programming.

Graphic design, 2D, 3D etc tutorials. Someone is doing it but you can join if you have the skill needed.

Do not limit yourself to the school environment, because trends are fast changing in UI.

My candid advice, no matter how much money you see, try to earn a good grade before you leave UI.

From my experience, UI is drilling students harder now, but with the reinstatement of the UISU, the business vibe might accompany it.

You're free to do so... I don't mind... And in case there are others that like it please refer them to my IG page @theakuko Thanks.

Thank you.

I'll do well to direct them.

Hi, I'm quoting you to appreciate your work, especially the second which is my first name (Chinedu).

I hope you wouldn't mind if I use it on my social media spaces, and privately too?

I have lots of hurtful things said to me (and people close to me)

In 2012, my cousin was relaxing my hair, just playing around with her because I'm just getting to know her, my uncle who was apparently not happy with my relationship with her, called me ‘carefree’. I'm as organized as possible, like military style strict. But I still felt hurt then.

My elder brother too, he's been reiterating ‘we'll be going the way of our father's family’. This was last year April, 2½years after our mom's death.

He told our elder sister (last year Sept. precisely) that, ‘you and your husband should not dump your family problems on me o’. This was coming off the back of a request to borrow 300k to do business that my sister made to him, she's not been engaging in anything since she first delivered her first child in 2011, she saw the loan as an avenue to get back on track.

Prior to him hitting high, he was heavily dependent on my sister's house for financial inputs in his school, rents, even transportation whenever he lost his job and needed the tfare to start another one.

Long story short, my sister was deeply depressed for almost a year as the shock was unanticipated. Their relationship is so strained right now because of his back breaking words.

Fan belt

Lord!

I remember the day I collected over 40 strokes because, I was jumping from seat to seat in class and was caught by our Intro Tech teacher.

Within 30mins, my seatmate stood up to answer a question and I set my pen for him to sit on it, he speedily rose and was shouting in pain.

This same woman was in class and added almost 30 more rounds to my body.

The truth of the matter was, the operating demon in me nullified the pain. I just saw traces of the belt but nothing was felt. Till this moment, I can't tell why.

And to the thread, I was a good boy but whenever I erred, everything listed and more were used to correct me.
