This school dropout is feeling the pain.

formerUKSF:
Nairalanders please with the way thinz are going in thiz country it is better for one to plan very well.

Education does not guarantee a sure future(in financial terms).it is better to learn a skill which can help on the long run.

Which is better to learn now ??

Plumbing. I really can't stand all types of irritation

Carpentery. Will it be expensive to start the business after learning.

Solar power installation. I really love it buh pls i need to
Know more

Cctv installation. Can sum 1 really survive on this skill in nigeria

Am 20 and i'll love to get married at most 25.

I just need to be financially capable to do what i want
Get a car,build my own house(even if it's a 4-5 bdrm bungalow),take care of my family.

Mods please move to fp it will help alot thx

O boy talk for yourself. My own education is guaranteeing my future, .
It's high time people became intentional about what course they rush to the university to study.
Don't jump into Botany, for instance, in Nigeria and hope to feed from it.

UpInTheSky:
OP,
My condolences
Please stay strong

Be comforted knowing your mom is now with God,
I've watched videos of people who have gone to Heaven
and with what they say, it's a place to behold, so I'm sure your
mom is in a better place than this cruel earth and most importantly,
she's at peace and in no more pain.

May her soul rest in eternal peace and
may God give you the strength to you
need during this difficult time.
Take it one day at a time.

Hugs, hugs.

Who went to Heaven to do the videoing

Ebubu3:
you didnt help your cousin and he got it without you and stopped calling you

well i dont blame him

i have no regret

i have accepted everything as the will of God

Did the OP ever say he didn't help his cousin

Sometimes, I wonder the kind of schools some of you guys attended.

Polchiz:
It is 33k in the North.

Other graduates also gets teaching job that pays between 15-70k while they search for a better job

The country is so bad that nobody is sure of anything.

Even doctors who are gainfully employed are struggling with their poor salary.

Imagine a Prof of Medicine cannot earn up to 700k after income tax and other deduction.
Mind you the Prof might have spent over 25 years in civil service.
Meanwhile, a graduate of CRS with 2.1 can secure a job in the bank and start earning 235k with other allowances and bonuses. Within 5 years, if he/she doesn't get sacked, he/she can become a manager and start earning close to 1 million monthly.

Additionally, a Chemistry/Biochemistry/Microbiology/Chemical Engineering/Food Science and Tech graduate can secure a job in a multinational company and become a manager after training. Immediately, the person is entitled to car grant, housing allowance, production bonus, leave allowance etc. It will shock you to know that, they are already earning more than a Prof of medicine.

There is no automatic ticket to success. If you must succeed, make the best out of every opportunity that comes your way.

I think you're actually one of those who are embittered they couldn't meet up with the admission cut-off score to study medicine

In which North is a doctor being paid 33K
As an NYSC medical officer there as far back as in 2011, i was already being paid 66,000 plus the 18,600 FG allowance(total of 84,600), outside my dealings in the nearby private hospitals

As an Corps member in your yeye profession, were you paid upto that??

Again, i was earning over 500k(outside private practice) while working in an FG hospital before i traveled in 2019, and that was what anyone at my level in the North was getting too.
So, where is this 33k from?
Even if the professor doesn't make more 700k working in a govt hospital, do you know how much he makes from other hospitals he consults in?
How about his private clinic(s)?
Outside the establishment they managed to employ you, do you have any other means of making money as a Biochemist?
If you by chance you're sacked, won't you die of hunger, as your profession doesn't confer any skill on you, which you can practise independently?
You just managed to get job out of the millions of Biochemists roaming joblessly in Nigeria, and instead of thanking your God, you rushed down here to vomit things you don't know much about.

No one is competing with you, man. Just focus on your profession and leave doctors alone.

obstead200:
Just like most abroad pple, her brother does not really have her best interest at heart.
His primary goal should be to make arrangements for her to come to UK and study that nursing.
Why waste more years in Naija if u can avoid it?

See this one!
When you travel, you'll understand that his brother has already done a lot for her with that advice alone

Polchiz:
Maybe you are not in Nigeria

many doctors struggle for 2 years just to secure a place for housemanship

Some doctors have been unemployed for 5 years.

You guys will just jump out and start vomiting rubbish
No doctor has been unemployed in any country in this world for 5yrs!
Underemployment is not the same as unemployment
Just shut your trashy mouth up , please.

donaldking10:
best news i've heard this week.

Did you bother reading the charges??

Do they sound like they found anything incriminating from the autopsy they just did?

Do those charges look like they can be proved beyond all reasonable doubt??

Most of you are just plain 'illiterates' driven by mere sentiments

Acidbath:
Two people are at fault here...yet you are blaming only the female.

What responsible negroe will bring in his fvCk mate into his brother's little home and be practicing what they do in school right there in someone's matrimonial home?

I should add your sister in the blame game for allowing such.

The OP, too, has no business staying there.

I'm highly disappointed with all the comments I've read here from Nigerian youths!

Unfortunately, these are the same idiots that are fighting tooth and nail to migrate abroad, where the citizens of those country will never let anything like this go unreported

You guys are shameless and a big disappointment

With this, there's no hope for that country, and there will never be.

[quote author=Penielly post=113270804][/quote]Man, learn a skill, as you have been told to do before travelling.
That's the best thing to do.

somehow:
Imagine!


Get used to it after 11 years?

Na the guy de find crowd nah

Let him learn to mind his own business and face his own life.
He went there primarily to improve his economic situation, not necessarily his social life.

alexxlexis:
Humble yourself and get what you want. Everything’s a matter of time, remember before u go be boss you gat serve. There’s no seniority in making money. Just calm down and learn what you gotta learn, nothing humbles a man than SAPA omo that shit sucks..

Which nonsense "humble yourself and get what you want"?

This does not apply in every case, especially in one like this!

The idiot is out to humiliate this guy(Op) either as part of family competition or to settle a previous score with the Op, who might have forgotten something he did to him(cousin) or one of his siblings/parents in the past.

Op should stay away from him by all means possible
What business or work is he going to learn from the idiot that no one else can teach him??
At the end of the day, he will just be a useless Yahoo boy stealing money once in a blue from other people's sweat. No professional like us genuinely making his money will do that kind rubbish to our cousins.

somehow:
But UK own is worse, a friend there keeps lamenting and looking for ways to move elsewhere abeit UK wifey has tied him down.

More reason I find living outside Nigeria /Africa problematic to me.

Na general thing oo, bro

Where i dey, it's now 4:20pm, and i never talk to any human being today, except on social media. And i haven't gone outside, as i didn't go to work today. All man dey on his own.

With time, your friend will get used to it.

somehow:
Congrats.

Do not make UK your final destination if you hate boredom.

But then, to each his own.

You will experience boredom in every other country outside Africa

Our unique gregarious culture is near-total to completely absent in those countries.

If not for Nigeria's issues, it would have been the nicest country to live in.

Felimax:
@ 29, you are waiting for Nairaland decision? A graduate!

This country is finished! I won't even expect this from somebody who just did SSCE.

Anyone can seek for advice, irrespective of age and level of education.

UyaiIncomparabl:
This is no argument, so forget it.

As I said before, 500k is an average salary. And what comparison does 50k have to do with 500k? When you are calling monthly stipends? 50k follow?

Na average money, biko.

This ''average salary'' applies to which country?

I hope it's not in Nigeria?

500,000 is not an average salary in Nigeria, where minimum wage is 30,000.

seanwilliam:
Abi nah .

No be for mouth o, with my husling spirit , there’s no way I won’t be making 5m in the USA monthly . Since I’m going there to work , at worst I’ll be having 2m savings Every damn month except I have health challenges

Story!

This is the mindset that makes an Nigerian expect so much from his friends and relatives leaving abroad

Won't you be paying your bills

zxxtx:
E be like say this one no dey Naija

It depends on your personality

I can't imagine myself running on sighting the police, unless they're shooting sporadically!

I'm also training my little kids to grow with that noble mindset

kayperry:
Lets cut the young man some slacks and personally i would, seein that he as made some moves,@least getting a new job.
Nigerians problem is we only tend to "react" nobody cares to understand the problem, ... what brewed OP entitlement is what he as seen his uncle do for others, lets put ourselves in his shoes, same uncle that told you no money gave you 2k then you hear from an outsider he dashed them 50k .. we are all human emotions are bound to run buh thats were personality now comes to play. some of us were sired to believe nobody owe you anything but some aint so luck .. @victorusa my advice is you take ur mind off whatever ur uncles as done or doing, you might as well remove the usa behind ur name, if suffix is a must then just "Y" sounds appropriate, carry on with life, success no get age limit just focus on self discovery and more doors will be open unto you. if i tell you say e go easy naa zobo for ur own good, brace up n you'll succeed

There's no cutting of any slacks here for anybody who doesn't merit it.
No justification exists for people who exhibit such entitlement mentalities
Do you know that even God himself doesn't bless everyone equally
He said, with neither apology nor equivocation, that He shows mercy on whom He wants to show mercy on(Ron 9: 18).
The money belongs to the uncle; he has the freedom to give anyone whatsoever amount he deems fit, and sometimes, it depends on lots of things which only him and those outsiders know.

I hope you haven't gone to Eastern Europe to kill yourself

dopedan:
you blocked him cuz he asked for help? Very foolish of you, i pray anybody you ask for help in this life will block you too, and im sure you are not even rich una just dey feel una sef, if ur nephew commits suicide cuz of this hard economy you will sink into depression fool

Another entitled teenager!

It's like this annoying mentality is now common with today's teenagers!

A few weeks ago, i sent some money to one of my married sisters who never requested for it.

From nowhere, her teenage son who never communicated with me since i treveled immediately sent me messages, telling me how he needed money for 'something'.
Just like the guy you were 'rekking', i quickly blocked his ass.

If una no fit use una senses well, we go de block una entitled asses without wasting anytime.

Money is not plucked on trees abroad; we work strenuously for it.

VictorUSA:
This was the message I sent to my uncle who lives in America and he sent me just N30,000.

"Good morning uncle...I first of all appreciate your previous assistance. But I want to tell you that it's not enough.I'm 19 and jobless, but I really need money.I would appreciate anything that comes from you."

Key words & phrases highlighted!

He's just your uncle, not your father oo

He has rendered previous assistance to you nah!

You said you would be grateful for anything he offered, and he offered 30,000!
O boy, you no get any case here

When you grow up and travel, you'll understand things are not easy, and that this uncle tried for you.

godofuck231:
you are a very unintelligent person, read all trough history, taboos and traditions are meant to be respected ,when in Rome act like a Roman, uou inept nit wit get a brain

See this thing who can't even write properly calling me 'unintelligent'!

My 6 year old boy writes better than you, and that's very unfortunate.

I won't blame you.

Alaigbopress:
Some days ago, I posted here about how my girl friend posted her ex pictures twice and I got a handful of advice, insults and very derogatory statements. Also at the same time I also got very few matured and helpful comment.
I wanted to apply the advice I was given here because I was furious and that could have been disastrous.

The next day after posting here, I confronted my girl, I told her it is over between us(all was a ploy to know how much she loves me). Since that day, my Girl's mood changed, she doesn't talk to people, she doesn't laugh and even started skipping her meal. She came to my house and was crying heavily that she was sorry. That has it been she know that it will provoke me that she wouldn't have done it.

I still pretended that I will never forgive her. Just yesterday she called my female bestie and narrated to her what happened and she called me yesterday evening and pleaded with me to forgive her. Which I did and You need to see how happy this girl has been. I will send screen shot of her recent Whatsapp status.


My Advice to anyone seeking for a relationship advice is not to follow the popular comment here.

Mumu, was it not the advice you got here that made you confront her, and eventually got the reaction/result you described here?

You problem is just that of poor judgement

TonyStark2:
Hi, so sorry to bother you, but I would like you to be of a little help here.

And, please be sincere and honest with me, your say on this may shape a journey, once again, please be honest sir.

My questions:
=> Did you study pharmacy?
=> If yes, at OAU?
=> Was your result, I mean cumulative result good enough (above average)?
=> Are you unemployed (for the course you studied i.e pharmacy)?
=> Are there some of your colleagues currently unemployed, if yes, can you estimate an approximate percentage?
=> Is the proposed salary at job interview reflecting saturation in the field (i.e meager salary)?

Please sir, I have a friend whom I have advised to change his course to pharmacy, I wouldn't want to look like a devil to him few years to come when he ends up in a non-existent job market.

Thanks in anticipation, sir.

Your friend should go ahead and study the course irrespective of this guy's responses
Most times, outcomes are dependent on our inputs.
The least amongst the popular medical/health courses, especially in Nigeria, is Medical Rehabilitation

godofuck231:
what do you know about a blood witch , immensely drawn to nature , easily gets drawn to reported numbers ,easily manipulative, her wishes mostly comes true and this might really make you jealous, especially getting favors from your husband,
Better put a hidden cam in your house and record her activities, so when you present the case to your husband you will have facts to back up, its not her fault , she was born so , her grand mum or father would either seize the powers or break the powers , its the family that will decide not a pastor, its ancestral, she has reincarnated and fighting her physically will be stupid, she will beat you because she once came to life and was powerful

You're a very primitive fool

Stop tagging innocent children 'witch'!
There's no such thing, except in the imagination of fools.

Scoutvibe:
Na soldier no be officer
Point of correction
Stop damaging their image. In every organisation they will be the bad ones

Is any of them better

They're all untrained, unprofessional and corrupt animals

I have spent 3yrs where i'm living without ever seeing a single soldier on the street, even for one day!

Favaman:
Modified:

Those of you down there criticizing, cursing and laying all manners of karma on me, let me let you know that people have watched me being cheated, everyone mind their business and at the end I lost and my boss got away with it.

People that I thought would intervened for me and help me talk to the man all kept mute and watch everything go just like that..
That scenario played a mark in my life, it taught me that you are alone in this world if you are too good to people.. Everytime I remember the event, I weep.

So calling me wicked and laying karma on me because I let a petty thief live won't move my conscience because even when I was too good to people karma has already been playing on me.

This is pure nonsense!
So, why did you come to tell us?
To join you in supporting the thief??

JRichards:
100% So. Yes

If you rely on advice here, you'll get it wrong.

She has already figured the part she got wrong in your issues so you don't need to overflog it or play the ego card by saying, you left yourself, return. She wants to be needed and as such, you're almost re-proposing to her. Hence you need to reach out, while she meets you mid way


Any other counsel about from this counsel here is to scatter your marriage patapata. The choice is yours. I have spoken

Unfortunately, some of these people issuing out yeye advice here are kids that are yet to marry.

I hope you are not in that category?

DryMouth:
Run away from honda before it kills you.

That car is rubbish.

Says by someone answering 'Drymouth'

A dry, saliva-less mouth is a prelude to dental caries/tooth decays

No wonder this kind of purulent information is coming out of your mouth

Rotji:
Hmmm one scatter my brain with yarn say em be correct Honda specialist that just relocated from Lagos to Delta. Long story short, he wrecked my engine . I had to change engine last month o.

I had to run back to my old trusted mechanic and form story so he'll not vex
