A wise man in Nigeria today should not display stupendous wealth. Be modest, as the country is not safe. Poverty and crime are pervasive. Most people have an entitlement mentality, envy and jealousy. |
AI is beneficial in sermon preparation, but a lot depends on how the preacher uses it and the spiritual preparation behind it. AI can give useful ideas, but anointing comes from God. For a fresher, it's good to develop your knowledge of the scriptures and build some spiritual stamina, and not just rely on AI alone. But AI is immensely beneficial in sermon preparation. Before the era of AI we were using Concordance and Bible commentaries; they do not replace the message. |
I heard one baaad girl in medical school that did convocation last year is already married, while her good girl classmates are not in any serious relationship. This life is a mystery |
What if the supposed side-chick is the man's colleague at work whom he gave a lift? What's the evidence that she's a side-chick? I don't encourage cheating husbands. But that can be a possibility. Is it a crime for a married man to give a lift to a colleague at work, a church member, or a family friend? Rapmoney: |
The wife of one of my brothers has denied him sez for almost 2 years despite all entreaties the woman has remained defiant. In this case what should the man do? Should he castrate himself or what? Righteousness2: |
I doubt if she did it with her full senses. Perhaps the daughter manipulated her into it. At that age they are vulnerable and at the mercy of their children |
While I may not agree with him, how do single born-again Christians who were never married or bereaved at a very tender age stay single and remain pure for the rest of their lives? Or even those in long-distance marriages who have not seen their spouse for up to 5 years cope by staying away from sexual sin? God's grace should be available but I'm not in their shoes and would want to know how they cope. |
This kind of case is not due to poverty. The children of the poor who were baptized with. suffering from birth rarely contemplate suicide as they are more resilient. yemmit90: |
Yes foreigners still come to Nigerian Universities to study. The number may not be as much as before. At UNILAG you will see some Chinese students. I have personally taught two Cameroonians who did their Masters degree with us. |
I don't know what's really wrong with young ones today. Parenting has been a very difficult task. LNo matter what happens do not commit suicide. Life is difficult for almost everyone. We all go through pain, betrayal, failure and disappointment. But none of them is enough reason to end your life. Consider all the investments the parents made on her. It's so sad and too bad. Life is a gift. Do not waste it. |
Some makeup could be terrible. You attend a wedding; the beautiful lady you used to know now looks like a masquerade because of makeup. If they tell you the colossal amount, she spends to wear a masquerade on her wedding day, church will close!!!!!!! |
She's not serious. We know that things are very bad in Nigeria. Those of us still here have weighed our options and chose to stay back. You can't eat your cake and have it. Many decisions you make in life has it's advantages and disadvantages. |
When someone writes an exam and marks the script by himself. What do you expect? |
I thought as much at some point, but when you realize the distance people had to travel to attend the funeral it makes sense to feed them when they come. Some travel for as much as 4 to 8 hours to attend the funeral. The challenge is that some people do things to the extreme especially the villagers who make huge demands on the family of the departed. Village people are wicked!!! |
Trump told Jonathan to contest. Let's see how it goes. It's likely Kwankwaso will deputise him |
My friend begged me to marry the sister but I wasn't attracted to her. I remember visiting my friend one day but he wasn't around. After waiting a while for him, I heard the mother whispering to her and scolding her while she had not gone to greet me. Since that day I never repeated a visit till after I got married |
Cutting of timing belt especially at an unexpected time. This is common with Toyota Camry |
Very true. Humans are generally selfish. It's painful when parents are selfish and care less about the future and happiness of their children. Tohsynetita1: |
Obi didn't contest PDP primaries. The old man may have memory problems Racoon: |
themanderon:It was Italia 90' |
skyisthelimit:I wonder if it was not a protest kick from bringing him at the end of the game. So non-chalant |
It can't be Nigerian all time 11. Only at most 4 persons on this squad will make Nigerian all time 11: Yekini, Okocha, Kanu and Osimen obembet: |
dequir:It was Bruno Onyemaechi that gave the assist |
It's difficult for any busy person who has left secondary school before the National anthem was changed to know. |
Fora pastor the matter is not about any agreement but whether he actually slept with her. There should be some form of discipline if he actually did. The challenge of one man Pentecostal Churches. Precious201010: |
Very sad and unfortunate. People at the level of director couldn't fly to Abuja because of the bad economic conditions. |
This is pure lie. Obi has responded in a mature way. You people are too obsessed with hatred for Obi and too quick to type nonsense Islie: |
In addition, nothing stops a person who studied in public university to do his postgraduate in private university or vice versa. Let me add, life can be funny. I have seen graduates of popular universities struggle and even die in penury. And I have seen graduates from unknown universities flourish. A lot depends on you, the decisions you make, your network, some factors beyond your control or favor or luck which ever you call it. |
Let me try to offer my opinion as a stakeholder in both public and private universities. I studied in a Public University. One of my children is in a public university and the other in a private university. Some of my postgraduate students also graduated from private universities. Each university whether private or public has its advantages and disadvantages. Also, there are different categories of each University whether public or private. A lot depends on the student. For first generation federal universities, admission is really competitive, and they get the top students for competitive courses, so this affects their quality even for the unfortunate ones that graduate with a 2.2 despite their brilliance. Top private universities are now attracting brilliant students especially for the ones that their parents can afford it and don't whant them to suffer from the delays of ASUU strike and other challenges that students of public universities face. The top public universities still have very experienced lecturers that graduated from top schools both within and outside the country. While we still have dedicated ones, some are not so dedicated. Some use only 2 or 3 weeks to teach an entire course that should last for 14 weeks and tailor their lectures to exam questions. Other malpractices like bribery and sex for grades are now common. However, the level of staff supervision is higher in private universities compared to public universities. It is very difficult to sack a staff in public universities as several panels need to be setup and presenting the reports to Senate and Council. The staff can still take the university to court and in some cases staff that were sacked later won their cases in court. But in a private university, it is easy to sack a lecturer that misbehaves or refuses to do his job. So top lecturers in public universities do not want to work in Private Universities where they will be micromanaged. They rather prefer to be Adjunct lecturers to private universities. Public universities still have the biggest infrastructure due to support from Government, TETFUND, NITDA, NNPC, CBN, Grants from foreign countries particularly the United States, the corporate world and their Alumni. It's difficult for private universities to get that kind of financial support. Although maintenance of these facilities has become a big issue. Many students pass through Federal Universities without taking advantage of some of these facilities. Many of the public universities are overpopulated. Some Federal Universities have up to 50,000 students. The staff: students' ratio is very low. As an undergraduate many years ago, we were 120 in class, and we did General Courses in the Faculty of Engineering where one lecturer taught over 700 students without a public address system. Our grades suffered seriously as only those seated in front could hear the lecturers and understood the courses. It is a serious disadvantage that affects students in many public universities. Whereas, in private universities the staff students' ratio is satisfactory as the class sizes are not too much. In recent times, there has been increase in the population of students in some private universities, but they have a good sound system and a better management of student population. Many hostels in public universities are in dilapidated shapes with toilets being an eye sore. I often calculated going to toilet immediately the cleaners finished washing the toilets. But the hostels are better managed in private universities. Also, students who are unable to manage their newfound freedom in public universities, engage in delinquent activities such as prostitution, abortions, drugs, Yahoo Yahoo, and many heart breaks due to the excessive freedom which they enjoy. Some girls practically live with their boy friends all through their undergraduate years who eventually ditches them after graduation. Whereas, in private universities, there are some forms of regulation. These misdemeanors still happen in private universities, but it is not as rampant as public universities. In terms of products, I have taught both private and public university students at postgraduate level. A lot depends on the individual. Some private university graduates did amazingly well equally as some public university graduates. Only very few of the private university graduates did poorly. While some public university graduates also did poorly. That is why I said a lot depends on the student. For technology courses, the limitations in terms of practical exposure were common to both groups but more with the public universities. The internet is a leveler today; students should take advantage of the resources available on the internet to improve themselves. |

It is foolishness to gift a car or house to a woman that you are not yet married to. Don't spend a fortune on a woman that is NOT your wife. The best you can give as gifts are things that won't hurt you emotionally if the relationship doesn't work out. Young men be wise. |
Nigeria happened to them. Poor emergency services. Very avoidable deaths. |
. There has been none like him ever since.
