Education › Re: Sunday Kayode: Maths Should Be Taught In Nigerian Languages by ChiefS(m): 6:08pm On Jan 01, 2022 |
Lukgaf: Without doubts, you'd agree with me that many students preparing for STEM subjects at O'level and undergrad really found it challenging. One of the reasons is the way mathematics some of this topics are being taught. Another challenge is the use of complex terms to explain the concept. I still recall my experiences at High School 
I think I agree with this FUTA Professor, I think all science subjects we ran away from should be taught and explained in our mother's tongue.
What do you think guys?
https://tribuneonlineng.com/futa-don-recommends-use-of-nigerian-languages-in-teaching-of-mathematics/ This will create unnecessary confusion. What happens to a child who is being taught mathematics in Yoruba and has to relocate to Akwa Ibom where mathematics is taught in Efik? |

A Nigerian was just killed 4 days ago for absolutely nothing. I feel at peace whenever I'm in Nigeria. While America is far ahead of Nigeria, many Nigerians think its El dorado.I'm not sure there are more homeless people in America than Nigeria as it has not been validated by research. Accommodation is very expensive over there. I was shocked to see beggars in America when I visited. I remember giving a beggar some money in USA. |
Romance › Re: My Fiancee Disrespects Me A Lot by ChiefS(m): 10:00am On Dec 30, 2021 |
dichvu: Please i need advise
I have been dating my girlfriend for some years now. She became an orphan recently, so I decided to open a shop for her so she can start earning something for her not to turn herself into something else since no family support.
Though she also invested all her savings into the business and I supported her also with the little i can. I thank God her business has been doing well and developing gradually.
But her behaviour has really changed seriously towards me. She hardly dail my number to check on me, she also goes out with any guy or men, she also password her phone, i cant even touch her phone, she will flare up. She will say it's nothing that she is just catching fun. I do overlook all this just to make peace rain.
Something happened yesterday that make me feel so bad. I told her I'm coming to visit her in her shop that if any food seller pass her shop, she should help me order food. So when I reached her side she told me to bring money that she can't use her money to buy food for me. I felt somehow inside with her response. I had to give her the money to get it because hunger dey wire me seriously.
So after I'm done eating, I was gisting with her but she is not responding, she was pressing phone, then a call entered and he told the man she is in her shop, that the man should stay at the junction that she is coming to meet him, she stood up and told me to be looking after her shop till she comes back. I was really dumbfounded and shocked, I coundn't utter any word as i don't want to talk or do anything silly as people are plenty around her shop. She left me there, I stood up also and left the shop. I really felt bad and sad. This is a person i have really tried my best for since she lost her parents. I'm planning to send her packing from the shop first, but my bro said i shouldnt try it that it's childish for me. He said I should chill for now. please I need your advice on how to go about this.
NOTE; I rent the shop for my MUM just to use it as her second shop to store her goods. Though the shop is too big, so i told her to let us split it into two, my gf can use the other half. Sorry ooooooo. In the first place why invest in a woman that you are not yet married to? That's a big mistake. Forget about her and all the investment and count it as part of your losses and move on. A broken relationship is always better than a broken marriage. |
Family › Re: My Parents Are Using Their Lives To Ruin My Future!!! by ChiefS(m): 8:02am On Dec 30, 2021 |
Phillipsburg: It's a long read because I had to pour out my mind wholeheartedly. Please endeavor to read through.
I so much hate my dad right now. And even my mom for supporting him. I can always remember how unfortunate it is for me to find myself in this family in the first place. Infact, not having a family is better than this living hell I found myself because these people are bent on ruining my future with their own life.
My father is the person who will be fighting with my mom in a brutally physical manner where they'd be running after themselves in the street after almost stripping themselves naked. He's the one who doesn't know how to reprimand his children except by using curses. He's the one who would go out and come back drunk and turn everywhere upside down. All these I've endured for almost every part of my life and my mom has refused to leave him saying because she has kids for him. I know some of you people will start saying all manner of things about how you would have cherished your parents if you had one blah blah blah but this is hell. It's choking me I feel like dying.
I just met a girl who happened to be my girlfriend and we've been together for some time now and my father is help bent on separating us because he doesn't want me to marry close to him so that there wouldn't be clashes between him and the mother of the girl because he feels the woman is a violent person. As they've turned the house into a place of sorrow, i couldn't think of spending even a minute inside the house. I usually spend the evening with this girl at her place and return when everyone at home must have slept. The next thing was for him to start cursing at the girl and even threatening to go to her house and throw tantrums. I just want to get out of all these because it's choking me. I can't breathe. I feel like I'm losing my mind because of everything. The emotional torture I feel whenever they start fighting. How angry I feel when he starts cursing everyone and shouting at us in front of the house and disgracing everyone of us throughout the whole neighborhood. The way he go about gossiping and talking bad about his own children and wife to outsiders and the whole neighborhood. I'm sick of everything.
I just wish I was born without a family because I'm even afraid of imbibing his behaviors and acting like him when I later settle down. I will never forgive him for making me become who I don't want to be. Before talking about marriage you need to rent an apartment outside that environment. Also, based on your father's experience despite his shortcomings he may have seen some traits in your fiance & her mother which may not be good for your marriage. |

brandsoncharlie: For junior staffs due to the minimal pay at a start your salary and position will limit certain earnings from your employer but as time goes by you will have a great access to these opportunities I mentioned. When a family member of mine started working in nnpc he was virtually limited to access to even housing, thrift benefits due to his years of service but as he scaled to the senior staff ranks there were lots of full benefits. It's not exactly what you think. I'm not a junior staff. Apart from NNPC some parastatals most other FG staff do not depend on their salaries. The salaries are peanuts compared to what some good private firms pay. And it is only a very small fraction rise to positions like Permanent secretaries, directors. Vice Chancellors etc. |
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Paramilitary Job Of 125k Starting(fg Slot) Or an FMCG Company Of 165k+ by ChiefS(m): 6:24pm On Dec 28, 2021 |
brandsoncharlie: I agree with you on that, but with FG jobs there are so many advantages when compared to others. Access to huge loans especially senior staffs, few private firms only with high paying jobs has access when compared to FG jobs. Access to free health care and your family depending on the FG jobs. you just need your ID you can have access to it for free in some FG JOB or almost free in some. There are bonuses, like housing bonuses, thrift, for staffs in each year. Institutions like pengassan and others for the petroleum jobs has a benefit for you that's if you are a member and make staff contributions, they serve as mouth piece to their staffs in terms of increment in salaries and other allowances. These things you can't get it for free if you're not doing FG job. There's no direct answer to the post. It all depends on the person involved, his long term career goals, his age and several other factors. If he is less than 30 he still has time to explore opportunities in the private sector but if he's above 35 The thing with FG job is that if you are in it's difficult to leave I'll advise him to take the FG job if he physically fit to do paramilitary work. I just wanted to disabuse some myths about FG jobs. For instance, you talked about free medical services. Not totally true. Yes FG workers who are registered with NHIS get some treatment free but NHIS does not cover major ailments and drugs. The pharmacy rarely have some of the drugs . Also, for those in major cities like Lagos the housing allowance is too small compared to the actual cost of rent in the big cities like Lagos. In fact with IPPIS there's nothing like housing allowance as everything has been consolidated. Also. you are to contribute a percentage to National Housing Fund(NHF). |

I work in a first generation Federal University. There's a lot of misconception about FG jobs. While some people in certain departments or positions make good money legitimately and illegally, majority are not that lucky especially in this time of galloping inflation. |

He says that since his brother's demised we have not been visiting him and infact have not received any Christmas gift from US Meanwhile,in every Christmas i always do for my mother inlaw what i should have done for my father in-law.
I am now confused i don't know who to serve now between my mother in-law and uncle in-law.he is now blowing fire and brimestone
The major matter now is how i can be able to service my mother inlaw and my uncle in-law then my family. I am a low income earner just managing to keep ends meet, see where i now find myself.
The main reason i am nolonger at ease is because these tribe are mainly known to practice witchcraft especialy the very family.
Please nairalanders what should I do now to save my head and the head of my loved ones. If you love jokes kindly skip this Post for this is a very serious matter.

Family › Re: My Younger Brother Is A Bone In Our Throat. Pls Help! by ChiefS(m): 6:59pm On Dec 24, 2021 |
Cyntie55: Good day nairalanders. Season greetings to y'all. I'm so angry right now. Please I need mature advice.
My father is not a learned person but he make sure all his children are graduates. My younger brother(last born and only son) rounded up his Nysc few months ago, we're just 2 girls. My elder sis and I. My elder sis is a nurse in Austria (3 years now), she's married with a kid in Austria. My big sister send money home once in 3 months, and I have been the one receiving the money. I share the money exactly as instructed by my big sis. I have never cheated anyone, Infact my Dad and Big sis communicate very well. My Dad trust me so much.
My younger brother is always angry, He said he feel cheated all the time. He shouts and talks to me anyhow like I'm his mate. Honestly speaking, I gave my younger brother more love and respect that he could ever imagine. When he was serving, he would call telling me he need 10k urgently, sometimes 20k, that he will pay back. Immediately I will send it to him and he would never pay back. Same thing he does to my father. If we ask him what's he using his allawee for?? He would angrily say so is becus we're sending him "chicken change" that's why we're asking jamb questions.
He said we don't regard him, he called my Dad a SIMP, he said my Dad listen more to my big sis and I....but he don't listen to any of his suggestions.
My brother is a 2:1 (second class upper) graduate in economics from UNIBEN. After his Nysc all he does is to sleep and eat. My Dad's good friend told my brother to come to Lagos and resume work with him. He refused. My Dad ask him if he wants to further his education (masters or professional courses)he said no....Okay follow my Dad to his cement shop and help him (my dad even promised to pay him salary) he refused....I overheard him on a call with a friend and i suspect he's now into yahoo yahoo.
Look at what happened. My big sis sent us money yesterday to celebrate this festive period. She said I should give my brother 50k, I should take 80k and give my father the rest (abt 250k). My Dad is always aware of everything. I even added 20k out of my money and I transferred 70k to my brother, I was left with 60k (becus she also sent me hair and I plan to sell it becus I already had enough). You can imagine this ungrateful idiot started insulting me, that I cheated him. the fool angrily withdrawn the money from his account and SET IT ON FIRE (70k). He called my elder sister and started warning her saying "if he can't receive the money henceforth, she should stop sending him money again that he's the man of the house". My Dad gave him a resetting, resounding, hot and dirty slaps. He pulled out a knife, deflated my Dad's car tyres and ran away from the house.
Everyone is not happy. I don't want my brother to live a wayward life. He's 24 years old. Please nairalanders Help! He perhaps was over pampered as the only son. He now has so much entitlement mentality. There is little anyone can do at this stage to change him. You sister should send his money directly to him. There's even no need to feed his entitlement. He should go and work. No food for a lazy man. |

Many of these male actors were really never rich. There is a huge difference between being popular and being wealthy. In their days there were no social medial influencers or followers. In Nigeria where the pension system is not working, most people start relying on their children for survival after retirement. The question is whether they didn't have children or have some investments to fall back to when they were younger. Stevenson20: All these actors I no kukuma understand una life oooo.

I don't want to talk about their female counterpart because I already know how they get their money and buy cars and houses that is mind blowing. May God help una |

You want those whose salaries are less than $500 monthly to invent X-ray machines from their pockets. okeyumez: There's no scientist in Nigeria. Let's stop fooling ourselves.

No scientist in Nigeria has built transformers, phones, X-ray machines, motor engines, photocopy machines or spaceship. We only study to have titles and depend on white man. |

At 27 you ought to have acquired a skill or obtained at least an OND. It's really difficult for a salary earner who is managing himself to raise substantial capital to support someone without a skill except the person in question is truly rich. Instead of blaming others you should start with menial job. Save some money and acquire a skill or go back to school. The earlier you take responsibility the better for you.

You have only heard from your friend and not his uncle. He who wears the shoe knows where it pinches. You may assume the uncle does not care but you do not know the amount he is paying monthly as loan. You don't know his relationship with the HR or management of the company you think he is in a position to offer employment. Let's stop this entitlement mentality. Let's learn to work hard and trust God who makes all things possible. Let's stop blaming others for our woes. Shayron: I have been on this forum for quite sometime, I have been a guest all this while but my friend is in desperate need of help so I figure out it would be better if I seek you guys opinion.
I have a friend who's uncle is a well to do man works in a big organization and can use is influence to secure jobs or loans for my freind.
My freind has been at his Mercy for quite some time now, she is very hard-working though but she has witnessed the man help those who ain't even family members secure jobs in great places.
This is someone she calls family and uncle. This is not the first time of seeing this, I have seen this quite a lot it's very common amongst our people here in the south.
My question is why do family members turn your backs on you even though they have the power to help you out of your current situation. Blood they say is Thicke than water if I can't help my cousin or nephew then why are we family. She has been begging this man, and this man clearly can work things out. She has a work herself but it's not self sustaining coupled with the act that she has younger ones to look after.
I have told her to look elsewhere that sometimes our helpers are not close as we think? What kinda advie would you give her |
