Thanks alot.
U really educate me like a brother.
U are the best.

I so much appreciate dis post.
Do have a wonderful night ahead.

😊😊😊

Love800:
Nice.
I really appreciate u.
This write-up will go a long way for me.
Tank u.

That podcast stuff, is it dat i will download an app first or i will just start straight from facebook, tiktok?
I have alot to talk about in relationship and parenting.

You are welcome

You can start by using facebook live or upload your pre-recorded videos on youtube. For the app, download the app and start practicing with it first. The one i downloaded on playstore allowed me to record my mock radio talk shows, then i could upload the audio on the podcast's official website for wider audience. There is also an option on the app to go live while hosting your podcast show. Sadly, i cant recall the name. Type podcast on playstore and see the options that pop up. Spotify is also among the list.

Either way, just know that you can start your own radio show in your house without going to any radio station. The advantage here is that you can self-train yourself first before applying to these stations. And you can present your recorded podcasts to them as part of your cv.

Your two topics are great. Always ensure to give room for feedbacks and questions from your audience.

Ok.
Thanks.
Internship sef is hard to get too. Am thinking is the radio dat announce the space availabe for intern. So how will someone know when this intern is being advertised? Can one walk up to the radio firm, asking to be interned?

From my little research, intern is two types. Paid and unpaid. The unpaid one can also be called volunteering.
But apart from the two types(paid and unpaid), u can also volunteer urself to learn and gain experience in radio, whether you a professional or not. But my question is, even if u write to the radio dat u want to volunteer, they may not collect u dat moment untill they have made space or accomodation for volunteers. Am i right?

In conclusion, can u tell me how best to gain employment in a radio?

I dont want to disturb u after dis post. U have already tried by having my time. By the way, where is called ib?

1. To the best of my knowledge, radio stations dont announce on air about their internship openings. You have to go there to make inquiries yourself or talk to them via their communication channels. What i know is that they advertise their media schools (if they have any) and ask people to apply. Of course, not free. The training may be 3-6 months. Most radio stations in ibadan have their media schools. You can also join the classes remotely. These stations are business centers, so they are more interested in making money. They offer values too but not for free . You can walk up to the station and make inquiries about working for them as an intern. If vacancies are available for that, they'll let you know.

You can also approach some OAPs to intern personally under them. It doesnt necessarily have to be directly at the station. Through the connection of the oap, you may be recommended for employment at the station where he or she works.

2. You are right about the types of internships. I totally agree with you. If you notice, it's still the same thing i said about both the internship and volunteering. The keyword there is working, whether for free or for money.

3. Sure. A radio station will only accept you as an intern if they have space for it. Volunteering or interning also come with vacancies, as it's obtainable for paid job vacancies. Some radio stations are filled up, so whether you want to work for them for free or not, they may still reject you. Also, i think it has to do connections. This is Nigeria. If you dont have strong connections to the station, you wont get the volunteering space. But who knows? You may be lucky.

4. My suggestions are:
Create your own podcast online and spread it for people to watch. Recommended channels are youtube, fb, tiktok, or any audio streaming platforms like mlxr (im not sure i got the abbrev. right), spotify, etc. I once downloaded one podcast app on google playstore years ago, but ive forgotten the name. Search google for suggestions. You can also start a mini blog and include vlogs in your contents. When these stations see your popularity, they'll be the ones looking for you. Just make sure that you are good at what you do and have huge fanbase.

Attend a media school owned by a popular oap. If you come out as one of the best graduating students for that session, the school founder may get you immediate employment. Another advantage of this is that during your training, you'll go for IT in any radio station. If you are good, the station may retain you for fulltime employment.

If your tertiary institution (poly or uni) owns a radio station, you can also go there and volunteer. Most radio stations owned by institutions prefer volunteers to people they'll pay. It doesnt matter if you've graduated or still a student.

5. Ib means Ibadan. That's where i base.

6. You are not disturbing me at all. Im glad to offer my little advice. It's nothing. Feel free to ask questions if you still have any. Im always ready to offer my 2 cents. What are we together for on nairaland for if we cant assist each other in our little ways?

However, please note that im not a radio staff. I studied communication and lang arts, what most people know as mass comm. But the only time i worked in a radio station was during my service year in 2016/17. And i didnt even work in the studio. It has always been my desire to work in a radio station, but never realize it to fruition. Just to let you know that im not a radio presenter or something like that. I just have the knowledge about these things and it's in line with my course of study.

Love800:
Ok.

About wat u wrote concerning voluntering, am finding it somehow to believe sha. Are u saying a newbie cant volunteer to work so as to learn the job? I will try and find wat it really means.

Is internship the same tin with dat apprenticeship u spoke about?

As i said, im not sure but to the best of my knowledge, that's what i know about volunteering and internship. But of course, a newbie can also volunteer. But most firms prefer professionals. Internship is mainly training and working at the same time. I'll say 80% training, 20% work. In your own case, i think internship will be the best. But dont expect to be paid. That way, you can also acquire media skills while training and working for free. After all, it wont be for long. If you are in ib, i can recommend some stations, especially the new established ones.

For radio stations, they will prefer professionals because they will want professionals to broadcast to their audience. If you are not a professional, they can pair you with a presenter. So, you'll be co-presenting his/her shows every time he's on air. That way, you'll gain popularity and knowledge.

Love800:
Alright.

Did u include CD demo in ur applications when summiting back then?

Someone told me here in nairaland dat sometimes it is good to have gotten some radio skills like video editing, voice trainning and writing skills from a studio(all this normal studios around the streets or roads) before intending going to apply for radio jobs. He also told me to go to broadcasting schools too for traininng. Maybe all these ones are part of the experince too.

The only thing i want to do now is submitting applications with my demo CD in different radio stations and going there too asking if i can be employed to work with dem for free(volunteering).

But i want to ask, wat is the diference between volunteering and internship?

These are great ideas too. But media broadcasting schools are expensive. But if you can afford it, you can start from there.

Love800:
Ok thanks so much.

About the volunteering, should i write it in my letter or c.v, dat i want to volunteer?
Can i still walk up to the radio station without any letter and tell with my mouth dat i want to volunteer to work with dem for free?

Lastly, wat is the difference between volunteering and internship?

1. Go with your cv and resume tailored specifically for that role as a radio presenter/worker. Use both the word of mouth and your credentials to back up your proposal. A formal application letter is also a good idea.

2. Im not sure but i think volunteering is that you are already a professional in that field, and will need no formal training. The firm will consider you as a professional.

On the other hand, internship is training in that field. If you intern in a radio station or under the tutelage of a presenter, you will be trained like a newbie in the field. You'll learn on the job and your input may be limited.

Love800:
I have neva encountered anyone.
Even the two closest ones i told dat i always message, they will neva give me any clue or ideas. And these two guys are in my town.

Nawa. I think the best way is to volunteer with one radio station and work with dem for free. Maybe from there i will be employed.

Walk up to as many radio stations as you can and submit application to volunteer there. I believe one or two will reach out to you.

You can also start your own via online platforms. There podcast apps that help with that. Facebook is also a good channel. You can start hosting one or two programs weekly and share the links online for a wider audience.

Also, you can volunteer to train under a popular radio presenter as an apprentice or for internship. Although i only know of Yoruba presenters doing this, i dont know if English presenters do. But you can try your luck. Best of luck

Wishing you a very Happy new year nairalanders

Thank God, we made it. Happy new year to every Nairalander.

Ememmmi:
I have an uncle that passed on early last year. My daddy told me he's my "uncle" but a distant relation because I don't know him in the village. We only met in lagos here so I think we are related but not close relation. Before he died, I use to send money to him especially during covid. At times he will ask and atimes I will send without him asking me. So when he passed on early last year, I was still sending the little amount I can afford to his wife. Its been 4 months I gave birth and she did not even come to see me. Her house to my house is about 500 transport fare to and fro. She knows there's no how she will come to my house and I won't give her cash even if at all she don't have transport fare.

She called me 2 days ago asking of Christmas money. I told her I will send it but inside me I am not happy honestly. People came from very far distance to visit me when I gave birth but this woman didn't even show concern. Anytime she call me will always be to ask of money. She said all her husband relative has abandoned her.
It is not like I don't have money to give her but her attitude is bad. She has only one daughter which she claimed she's in university. I don't know how true is that
Do you think I should overlook her character and give her the money

Overlook her shortcomings and give her the money. But tell her that you have issues with your bank, so transfers are not going through. Tell her to come to your house to collect cash. Then when she comes, tell her your mind politely. Let her know that what she is doing is very wrong and selfish. Let her realize her error. Then give her the money. You are doing it for God and your children, not her. But still, let her know that you also need love from her. She shouldnt also depend too much on you for her upkeep. Her entitlement mentality is terrible. Let her talk to you about what she can be doing to get money for herself and her children without always coming to you for money. You're not an atm machine. You also have your responsibilities to cater for.

Congratulations on the arrival of your baby. God bless her/him.

He found this and was advised to post it on Facebook so that those that knows much about treasure stones and minerals would help him identify it. But unfortunately, non of the comments has ascertained what exact treasure or stone this is.

I know that there are many greatly knowledgeable People on Nairaland that would be able to tell us what this is and it's value. I'm sending this Thread's Link to him immediately now so that he would follow the discussion to know it's value for certain. And so that he would take the necessary security steps in guarding that his Landed Property for the massive natural Wealth which this may indicate is abundantly there.

I'm sure that we shall be able to get our assured confirmation here. So, great Nairalanders, what do you think this is and its value?

Lol. I saw the fb post . The comments there were hilarious

author=Newborn27 post=126658739]Wow!


This is deep!

I don't even know what to say or where to start from... truly you're courageous and strong.


At this point, if it comes fine, if not, fine. I'm not the one to make such plans. If I get what I want, oh.. why not but if not, men e go hard o. Like I said... In this year alone, I've had two suitors. A very responsible guy and a man but the thing with me is that I'm too picky. if I don't like you first, it will be very difficult. These two were not my spec and I won't trap myself in a loveless marriage all because of age or "time is going " , if it's not what I want, I won't do it.



Like I told you before, what tickles every one's fancy is different likewise what bothers them.
You may fancy all the bolded and I may not. What you want out of marriage is different from what I want. So it's not a one size fits all" thingy or compulsory that we all must like to do or have things the same way. That is why you will never see me envy married people or people with children because to me it's really nothing. Now, my Mom married at the age of 10 . Had all of us before 30 but died in her Early 40s. So of what use was her early marriage and child-bearing to her? Fine they use us to remember her but she as person, what did she enjoy in her life for achieving those? Just suffered to raise children that she didn't live to see even one grandchild? Abeg abeg.


Why? That's like saying I regret.. I have saidvit countless times that I've never regretted it for once . Ok let me even pause for a moment and try to remember if I ever wished I did.......... 🤔 🤔 🤔.... Ogbeni nothing like that o. Rather I've always thought that if I had married maybe by now I would have left the marriage cos e for don taya me and that's the truth. In fact.. sometimes I used to silently thank my stars that I'm not married with kids in this economy because I can't endure suffering and hardship with children. Not like Im wishing myself hardship but men in this present economy, everyone is facing it and someone like me can't take the heat with such responsibilities even when shared.
There's a friend of mine that always wish to switch places with me saying I'm enjoying because I don't have anything bothering me and I'll tell her I'm glad I don't have those bukata.



Stigmatization? LoL.. see so far e no affect my pocket, whatever anyone says in that regards does not bother me. it's when you listen or go close to people they'll stigmatize you. I don't keep companies. I'm a loner and it helps a lot to stay away from such. No be if I smile with you you come know wether I don marry or not. I feel free saying it here because no body knows me in person and it all ends here. Of course some people in the past have said some things like your twin is married you're here forming oge, but I didn't give a damn because when I look at their lives im doing far better than them and living life to the fullest. Abi What is life about? No be enjoyment? See it's all in your head o.life no hard reach like that




I love my family. They will never pressure you. My dad before he died would be like, if you do anyhow I'll take my daughter back ( referring to my in-laws.) So all his inlaws are pals with him. They'll be like ogor, oya make we go chill. He will tell you, don't stress them for me o. As for the single ones he'll make sure he provides our needs so we don't look outside. Even as a working class lady, my dad when he collects his pension, he will buy a bag of rice and share to every one of us in our various houses. He was still giving me money till his death in 2012 ( miss you pop). My dad na guy man. Him no send o.

Forget, this life is what you make of it. I try as much as I can to enjoy myself and make every minute of it count

Please, ma'am, are you still a virgin? No vex o

He call the super eagles, and we all knows how it ended for them

Now since I was born I never heard any bad news from south Korea , and then few days ago there was in south Korea snapping pictures and the boom hundreds of people were dead for the same event they had been hosting for years

Please, im just curious, sorry to ask. Are you a mormon?

Nonexisting1:
Oh yes you were and I do that all the time. If that was marriage test, you passed one hundred percent. I hope men who are sourcing wives and girlfriends here are seeing this whether you are available or not. If it was when I believed in love, I would have sent you PM by now but my case is beyond repair. Me and love now are running parallel government and are like water and oil, can't mix anymore. Good luck and no more trolling you here because you have proven to be of different breed.

I agree with you. She is very mature and cultured. Ive also been observing her posts and comments for months. She has good character and she is intelligent.

Whenever I take milk, I tend to fart uncontrollably, like non-stop farting. Imagine you being with someone and the person is farting every three or five minutes. Honestly, this can be so annoying for the fartee and embarrassing for the farter.

The farts is the type that make the "ssshhhhhhhhhhh" sound. And sometimes the fart becomes noisy or vibrates.

Please, what can I do to remedy this? What can I do to stop the fart? It happens whenever I take milk. I take pap alot( infact I prefer pap to tea), and I take the pap with milk because I don't use sugar. Please, is there any alternative? Maybe a better milk that I can use for the pap.

Please, is there any one here who has/is experiencing this?

Or is it because of that particular company's product (milk)?

Has anyone here experienced this?

I would really appreciate your inputs, suggestions/opinions.

Thanks.

Nah wa for you ooo. Fart wey people dey use millions of naira and dollars to fart by force in the hospital, nahim you dey do freely and you dey complain. Dont be an ingrate to God. Only those who cant fart in the hospital can tell their horrendous stories.

You are lactose intolerant and anyone who is lactose intolerant will farts after taking milk. I also experience it often because im also partially lactose intolerant, sometimes mine even comes with slight diarrhea. Peak and cowbell are the worst culprits. But dano is less toxic for me. You can try dano milk or take other non-dairy milk brands like soy milk. You can even try kunu haya and honey instead of milk.

But seriously, stop making a fuss about farting. It's natural and God's given free gift to humanity. Only the dead cannot fart again. Be grateful before complaining. Who doesnt fart sef? You make it sound as if farting should be shameful. Nah wa for you o.

I have an Aunty who is single at 37 due to the fact that she's a cripple. She walks around with crouches. She literally can not move her toes but the legs are there. Just there.

Yesterday, a kind-hearted man promised to buy her a car and she asked me the kinda car that will suit her. Honestly, I don't know. I don't know much able cripples and/or physically challenged people.

So, I decided to come here to seek your opinion.

Which car can a cripple in Nigeria drive?

Get a small car and take it to someone who knows how to modify the brakes and clutch. There is a way they modify the parts that will enable the disabled driver to use his/her hands to operate the brakes and clutch. Welders will know how to do it. But can your aunty drive? If she cant, she should collect the money from the samaritan and spend it on a side hustle

Mention that topic in Mathematics, that you still do not understand.

Mathematics lovers and haters, show ya sef.

I dont understand shii

nairagenone:
As the topic states, I am close friends with a polygamous family of 2 wives.
About 9 years ago while a youth corper I dated the first born of the 2nd wife but we kept it secret, although I think her own mom knew although the mom is late now.

It wasn't a relationship per se as I was just sleeping with her and I knew she had other guys too at the time but she always wanted me to think we were in some sort of relationship just like most ladies would.
Anyway, the whole thing fizzled out when I relocated from that city.

8 years later, I am in a new city and meet her step sister, who is younger than her but from the first wife and we are getting along fine, turns out I really like her and now considering marrying her.

The lady I dated previously is currently not married, in her 30s and I heard she lost a pregnancy recently, I dont have any relation with her other than the fact she calls me occasionally to ask for money for assistance which I render when I have the means but sometimes I don't as I am also trying to put my life together.

I recall that she could be diabolic and wouldn't put it past her to do jazz or something.

Do you think I should go ahead and marry her step sister 9 years after dating her and how should I go about it?

Should I inform the lady I dated in the past out of respect for her cos she will still eventually get to know ?

Should I tell the lady I am planning to marry about the past relationship with her step sister ?

Please advise.

Sorry to say, but you are selfish and disgusting. No vex say i rude ooo. But...ewwww, seriously? You feel comfortable sleeping with the same blood sister to your ex. You are only thinking about yourself but not your girlfriend. If the table was turned and your ex starts dating your blood brother, even planning to marry him, how will you feel?

You are not just disgusting but also a home-wrecker. You want to cause ww3 in that family between two step-sisters. If you are lucky to marry the younger sister, you will never have peace because your ex will continue to torment you. She'll start a fierce battle with her stepsister, her stepmother, and even you. She'll call her step sister a husband snatcher. She'll think the sister did it deliberately to spite her and her mother. Polygamous homes are usually filled with enmity, unhealthy competition, and diabolism. Your ex will do everything to destroy your relationship. Didnt you say that she saw your fling as a serious relationship back then? You're callous.

Better break off that relationship quickly and find another woman from another family. Your ex's family is not the family with women for sex and marriage. Stop inviting problems upon your head and those around you.

BluntCrazeMan:
Guys..




Please don't derail this thread.

Just Read And Give Your Decision.

My verdict: Buy another toy for the respondent

I remember this very well. We still have it in our house to date. The good old days🥰

Rip to the man. This story is touching and emotional.

But on a second thought, i smell foul play on the part of this woman. I hope when she cooked for him, she didnt poison the food that led to his eventual death? Because she said the man agreed that she should go and cook for him. Then later that night, she was called that he had died when she was away.

Mission accomplished!

Then she got all his wealth and assets after his demise.

Hmmm, even though im a woman, i'll still say this. "Fear women".

Dexy4yah:
I dated this lady for few years... doing our courtship we had unprotected sex.
I later relocated to another state because of my studies....that's how the relationship died.

She later got married

After about 13years of not hearing from eachother....one day my phone rang and behold she was the one...she called to tell me a secret...she said her first child is mine and not her husband's.
That doing our courtship she took in, she tried to abort it but it didn't work out for her, she didn't tell me about it because she knew that i was not ready to father a child at that time.

It was at that moment that she met this guy who is now her husband...the guy hasten everything and got married to her...she made him believe that the pregnancy is his own whereas that's was not the true...the boy is 8years old now.
She said her conscience has been disturbing her that's why she opened up to me.

I told her never to let the husband know about it and let the child be the husband's own....let her just forget everything about me being the father of the child so that her marriage won't crumble.
She has a loving husband and she is blessed with three kids aside the boy.


But she made one comment that when the boy reach 22years she will tell him who his real father is....she insisted. But am against it, i told her not to try it because if she end up telling the boy about it there is every possibility that the husband will end up knowing about it and i wonder how he is going to react towards it.

(Women can keep secret sha)
Please i hope i did the right thing??

It's either this story is fake or you are mistakenly getting your calculations wrong. Im compelled to believe it's the former.

First, you and your ex lost touch but she was pregnant by then. She found another man and they rushed their wedding. Okay, now the husband is convinced that your child is his. How many months gone was your ex before she met her now hubby and started sleeping with him? Or did she start sleeping with him immediately you went away? How many months was her pregnancy after meeting her hubby before she gave birth and he didnt question her gestation period? Or he's not aware that a woman is supposed to carry a pregnancy for 9 months? Or doctors told him that his wife had a premature birth? This does not add up at all.

Secondly, which got me thinking, was that you said that both of you lost contact for 13 years, but your son is now just 8. Abeg, how come? Did you send sperm over to her from your location after 4 years of not seeing her?
