Mrshape:
On Tuesday morning, April 23rd, 2024, was set for my UTME examination. My center was close to my house, so at 6:20 am, I came out from the house hoping to catch an auto rickshaw . I left with my ATM card, ID card and my JAMB examination photo card. On getting to the junction, I observed there was no auto rickshaw, so I had to run down to the road before I was able to see a vehicle. I appreciated the running because it was an opportunity for me to do some exercise, which people had been advising me to take because of my sedentary nature due to work.

When I got to the center, it was not very crowded as I thought. I proceeded to the queue, and a man asked me if I could have my phone. I said no. After the thumb printing, we went further to the hall to sit down. Although there were not enough chairs the People organizing it were kind enough to release their chairs to students to sit down. I applaud them for that.

As I was about entered the main hall for the computers, it was advocated that ID card and ATM cards was not allowed, that it was part of the rules sent to us, so I had to go down and check for one of my fellow proprietors I saw around and I gave him my items so that I could pick them up when I'm done with the exam. I really appreciated that

I began with English, I was trying to navigate to find where to shortcut to transit it to mathematics, but I was unable to find a way out (maybe I it isa available but I don't know how to navigate it,but I later found out that I can move to the next by selecting the last question of the subject and clicking on next, this was when I was stuffing through the system in my third subject) The computer screen was not as big as I expected, so scrolling up and down was challenging. In the English section, I went to choose Hakini instead of Hakini because I didn't read the novel, I only listen to the audiobook,. I checked it up later, and it was Hakimi not Hakini, I failed that question, so UTME student sould listen and read the novel to be able to identify correct spellings as it is one of the aspect to be tested as outlined out in the English syllabus

Next was physics the physics was ok , *Next Mathematics I did well in this, except for a question asking to find the area of a triangle, given the angle between the two sides 40° which formula was 0.5 * a * b * sin 40°. It was unfortunate that 40° is not part of special angles. I was racking my brain on how to solve this. I know the sine of 30° and sin 60 = 0.8660, The option to the question was have same whole number with only a difference in the second decimal place, . This was the challenge was a challenge to identify the correct option. JAMB should stick to the agreement set questions using special angles only and if they are to go variant the options should be distinct son that a student should obviously be able to choose the correct option with knowledge of special angles and trigonometry graph visualization,
There was a question in my mathematics binary operation using LCM, I applaud JAMB for that question whoever set question is very smart, after solving it I smiled.

After my mathematics I was left with about 12 minutes for chemistry maybe I fell in love with the mathematics questions trying to look at the reason why each questions was set, well it was fun.

When I saw I have just 12 minutes remaining for chemistry I know this is not the time to start calculation in the chemistry I hurried move through the questions to find the ones can easily I identify the answer I click on then why the others I just used possible elimination to choice a possible answer
In total I am expecting
Mathematics around 98±2
English around 85±10
Physics around 89±8
Chemistry around 70±10
Total around 330 to 360

For the record I applied for BCE Mathematics I might go and study the course but I would have prefarerd Mathematics and Artificial intelligence but no school in Nigeria is offering it.

There are lots of grammatical errors. You may be smart, but your English isn't. And wtf is an auto rickshaw? Next time, try to communicate instead of showing off. As someone pointed out earlier, your audience is mostly Nigerians, so you should have used a word that almost everyone here knows.

U seem to have bf from this post: https://www.nairaland.com/7521963/how-convince-boyfriend-save-bank . Are u no longer together?

RedChiefPriest:

36milion job and you're not satisfied ?
Make I send account chief,make you bless me out of the 36million?

Like I said. It gets old. But I earn that much because I work for a foreign company remotely.

RedChiefPriest:
Well if he sees better offer and if he thinks the country have more to offer him than naija then he's free to move.
But if I get 24 million job per year for this naija and vampire and zombies dey kill fo Street,i no fit leave ooo.
Na to go buy better ammunition and start playing real life COD.
One Hand on steering and the other hand on my gun ready to shoot any bagger I sight.

And I have a #36 mil per annum job. Yet, I am writing my IELTS exams this week. The money is over-rated. You have it and you want more.

For ECA, which of the verification bodies do you recommend and why?

Life is crazy though. I got a tech job last October that pay over 2.8mil. So it is just about what u want out of life.

Can u post the asking price?

Can u at least post the asking price so that one don't waste time making a call?

What is the fuss with getting married when u lack accommodation? And why is the OP required to fund the marriage of another man.

@OP your niece acts like a prodigal girl. Why do u still waste time on her?

I can't believe I have been working from home since March 2020.

And now that I work remotely for a company based in Canada with good pay, there is nothing to complain about.

Yes. I will say it again. I will not get married to someone earning less than 120 and I will not also get married to someone earning that. It's not pride.

You don't know where people are coming from.

I have worked for 20,000 naira monthly. I have worked for 4 months and I didn't get paid.

I have had months of crazy depression because I didn't have a job. I have shed tears, if there was any way it would have turned to blood, all because I wanted a way out. I have had it all too and it hurt. I have started from the scratch. I have done jobs that took me from main land to island. 3 hours in the morning inside traffic. 3 hours back at night. I get home 12am. 11pm.

You don't know people's past. It's not proud and during those period, I knew I would come out of it and I did not think of marriage.

And till now, I only said I want to date with purpose (Marriage). That's what any sensible person should be. I am not a random girl who would just get into a relationship and just be having fun and all that. It needs to be defined.

That's my point...

Then define your relationship. You said something like the guy has all the power and your can't talk to him. How can u be earning 450k and still have low self-confidence?

Yeah the guy may be 'richer' but you are not doing badly yourself. We shouldn't be the one telling u to dump him. You should be the one asking us if you should give the guy a chance and our answer would have been a Big Fat No.

Grow some balls, babe. You are doing well. No man should take u for a ride, unless u want to be ridden.

ngoziwrites:



I have been with people earning less.

As a woman I will not get married earning 120k. So yeah, I cannot get married to a man earning that.

Both of us will work our way to the top

You sound proud, though. Saying things like u can't get married earning 120k. Just be thankful u earn well and don't belittle people earning less.

It is a pity that you are so naive still. A man takes u to the hotel and bangs the hell outta u. And u guys don't have any deep and meaningful conversation. So what the fvck do u guys talk about?

ayo2008:
One thing that wnt allow a man to propose as quick as possible is when premarital sex is involved. Simple!
Simply avoid premarital sex.

True words. After the first fvck, wetin remain if there is no connection?

As a guy, I will never understand why I would spend 25k a night in a hotel when I have an apartment that is probably better.

Guy claims his house is hot but u guys spent 75k in 3 nights.

I earn over 2.5mil a month and I wouldn't pay 25k for a hotel if I don't need to.

@OP that guy will never marry you. Mark my words. If a guy sees a girl he wants to marry, he will be the one making plans to keep her. It is like finding gold. You ain't that guy's gold. Just another pucci to fvcck.

Use that money to uplift your family or help the poor.

God will love you more.

I think u are right. If I was to pay tithe today, I have to pay 250k as tithe. But my family is in dire straits and 2 brothers are unemployed and I pay the fees for 2 brothers in the University.

I think I need the tithes more.

Impecca:

She's beautiful in her own way sha, light skin (my spec) BUT she lacks romantic words, romantic gestures, swags. You know how it is with higher institution babes..the vibes, the will-nilly talks and famzing. I created Facebook account for her, yet she finds it difficult to upload or socialize among peers

Please save the girl and yourself heartache and not marry her. I broke up with the love of my life because she wasn't tall enough. I am that vain. This girl has good diction and her every word is a flirt. She is simply a joy to be with. Then I met this other girl, even with OND, her english is terrible. She begged heaven and earth for us to be together. I can't even tell her that her poor english is a deal breaker for me. I'm tired of making people feel bad about themselves.

From all you have said, the marriage cannot last and it would be an unhappy union while you are at it. You are going to be unfaithful and disrespectful to that girl. Just go your separate ways. Your relationship with her is an accident waiting to happen.

Last month I earn #220k apart from my side hustle. I now earn more than 12 times of that. So anything is possible. Just work hard and be ready to meet opportunities!

I am a senior frontend engineer for a foreign company.

Before this job, I was working for a Nigerian company that pay #220k/month and I get extra #100k/month from a side gig. My Nigerian boss didn't even complain that I gave him 2 weeks notice to start my new job.

Well, who would? Imagine going from #220k/month to $5k/month

ElPhenomenal:

What kind of job bro?

I am a senior frontend engineer for a foreign company.

My current job pays $5k in a month. So I have no reason not to put my all and it is a remote job too.

Good afternoon guys, so straight to the point guys.

I met this girl few months ago and we started talking, ended up asking her out, we started dating, at that time she told me she was single, honestly me too I was.

Fast forward to somedays back, she came to visit and we were cool and all suddenly she started having mood swings and all, I was worried, kept asking what is wrong and she always said nothing, surprisingly someone texted me on whatsapp and was telling me that she was dating her and many other talks, that night i almost had an heart attack. I was beyond surprised till now I am yet to recover from the shock.

When I asked her about the guy she first said that she doesn’t have any other person, when she knew it was very serious she then opened up to me, and told me she and the guy had issues and he broke up with her and that now the guy wants them to come back. I saw her chat with the guy, telling the guy she loves him and will never stop loving him bla bla and telling another person that she misses him but she has decided to stick with me because I've shown her so much love that no one has ever done, and honestly i love 10000%. I treat her like a queen.

Right now i am confused, i asked her now what do you want and she said she wants me, but then she still keeps communicating with the guy and the guy is in same state with her while me i'm far away from her, i don’t even know what do i'm so depressed i have never loved like this before and this is what is getting to me. I can’t even eat or sleep when i remember all of it, i confused if she wants me really or she’s just considering the fact that i'm wealthy.

Guys please constructive criticism are welcomed, please i need advice on what to do I’m madly confused.

Wealthy guys don't behave like u... How much u get sef?

Latakia:
My brother I saw the kind of hell our people are going through in abroad. Some don't even have money to buy their ticket back home upon say they want come home while some dey shame to come home after so many years over there without achieving anything. Some dey do work that they can't do in Nigeria.

In summary, there's no greener pastures anywhere. 200,000 naira job in Nigeria is far better than 5000 dollars job in America. Don't look at the currency but the purchasing power.

So I have a $5k job here in Nigeria. I guess I should never dream of moving Abroad?

I had to leave Lagos last December because I just couldn't deal with the overrated slum.

Truth be told, the whole of the country is just a giant big slum.

How could anyone ever use beautiful to describe Lagos? It is just sprinkled with nice places here and there...

Please it is "a hate speech" not "an hate speech". The 'H' in hate is not silent. You guys should stop writing English in your accent. There is nothing like an house, an host, an heaven, an horse, an harbor etc. You say an honest or an honour because the 'H' in both words is silent.

I do recognize that some Nigerian have a problem with pronouncing 'H' when it comes before a vowel, but that is not why we should be writing the way we pronounce.

If you must know, the pronunciation without the /h/ sound is still considered to be standard in England. Most native English speakers do not pronounce the /h/ sound.

PaulSimon2020:
Ok, sounds good. If nothing still changes after that, drop me a message. I might be able to hook you up with a better remote gigs! Take care.

Hi. I just sent you a dm. I would really love to have a chat with you. I am a Frontend React developer with about 2+ years experience. I presently work for a local company. I would like to get a remote gig but no success so far. I would like for you to hook me up with any remote gig you know.

So I know 2 professors in the University of Aizu, Japan and I have talked to them them about wanting to join their team for my PhD in Computer science. They both accepted, but the problem is that they said I have to cover fees for application and admission and get myself down to Japan. The idea is that they have research grants that can cover my tuition and accommodation for my stay in Japan.

The application fee is 30000 yen and the admission fee is 282000 yen. I know that the whole application process would be easier if I were in Japan. So the question is, can I get a student visa to travel to Japan without having got an admission yet with the intention of getting an admission once I am in Japan?

I presently have just #600k and I do not think it would be enough to run the whole process.

Another thing is that it would be easier for me to pay the admission fee If I am in Japan because my professor can help out with the money.

nyassi35:
there wont be induction .they will com to ur school and share the award letter

I got 2 admissions and the school I put to ptdf is not the one I'm attending now. Should I contact them to let them know, especially now that I'm schooling in Abuja?
