Greatest uniben students, uniben never really made me feel great, right from the day I wrote my post utme which I prepared so hard for, down to my final year, because all my result were never reflection of the efforts which I put in.

Did anyone else feel this way, i would love to here from you.

Guy, calm down,...........be calming down.

I was a star way back then in secondary school, but after I saw my year one results in FUTO, I was honestly considering becoming a trader, FUTO really messed my life up that year sha, it was a miracle I even graduated with my set.
But when I when I got my first job in SPDC, in December of 2009. I discovered I was still a star, I won multiple awards in different offshore locations. I refused to renew my contract with SPDC at it's expiration(I was a contract staff), founded a consultancy company and I also lecture in a university. I had to sit down and really ask myself questions, then I discovered something. Students are not properly oriented about the university system, hence the error most of us encountered. In the university the lecturer simply introduces a course for you to research further unlike in the secondary school days where you are thought everything. Can you imagine the number of scripts lecturers mark? In some cases you have to teach from year ones to final years and you have a deadline to submit your scripts to the exam board? Guy, no long story for answers o. Just get to the point and go to the next one.

How can Tsar/Czar be your name when it's just the Russian equivalent of a king/emperor title?

Dey dia na, I don dash myself that name tey tey.

Explorers:
Cameras positioned hundreds of miles from the blast and set up for low-light conditions so as not to be blinded by the flash, captured a fireball rising into the sky for a full 40 seconds before it dissipated into a mushroom cloud.

More footage from an aircraft that was 100 miles from the blast then captured the mushroom cloud rising into the atmosphere.

At its peak, the mushroom cloud rose 213,000ft into the air, 6 times the cruising altitude of a passenger jet.

you've got to love the Russians. Hitler really messed up there self-esteem during the second world war.

So they are like never again.



Never knew that there was a bomb named after me. Interesting!

I was 15 when I finished secondary school. I could have finished earlier though, but my parents were scared silly at my academic prowess as a kid. I was even the youngest in nysc camp that year. I was 22 then, after spending like 2years at home doing nothing back then, because they considered me too young and naive to enter the university back then. Now I find myself lecturing 13years olds in the university.

How time flies.

I know I'm going to get alot of insults from you guys and that's why I didn't use my original Nairaland account for this, but please hear me out and give me good advice.

I'm the kind of girl that doesn't love easily. I don't think I've ever fallen in love before. I have dated just one guy and I broke up with him when he tried to rape me. I'm still a virgin and the reason is because I have trust issues. I know that if I have sex with a guy I'll become very attached and my heart can easily be broken. So I'm waiting for a guy I can trust.

I recently just started dating someone. I'm not in love with him but we've been very good friends and when he asked me out I just had to say yes so that I wouldn't lose him. I've still not had sex with him and I like that he respects my wishes. My boyfriend loves me and although I don't love him equally I've opened up to him about how difficult it is for me to reciprocate love.

Then there is this other guy I just became friends with. I won't lie, I'm sexually attracted to this guy. My sexual attraction to him intensified when he opened up to me about his kinks which are similar to mine. He told me he has feelings for me and likes me alot and can't get me out of his mind. I admitted I am sexually attracted to him but that I don't have feelings for him. I know he is sexually attracted to me and has made advances at me and even asked for nude pictures all of which I refused. But I still talk to him. He knows about my boyfriend and is aware of my situation. Occasionally he flirts with me but I try not to flirt back. I've tried to bury my sexual attraction to him but he is just so physically appealing. I've made it clear that I want to be just friends and he seems okay with it. I know I'm principled enough to not allow him have sex with me I'm wondering if it's safe being just friends with him. I enjoy talking to him and don't want to end our friendship.

All I can tell you is that this will definitely not end well, and you'll end up saying all men are dogs. Just remember you're adventures when the evening paper arrives.

I honestly weep at some comments I read here. I swear Nigeria is in trouble with this crop of arrogantly ignorant youth, are these the leaders of tomorrow? Godforbid, we are in trouble.

I totally agree that we are dark and greedy here..but let's take a look at this...

How do you feel when you read about "the people of Israel" and praise them according to your bible and the "people of Israel" never care to know a dim about you? When do we have our own Holy Book that will project African histories and culture and adopted as a religion in other parts of the world? - You are a historian for GOD sake!!!

How do you feel when you answer Arabic or Israelis names and none of them ever hear of Afolabi, Chinweike, Lewiza, etc.. of which they can never bear any of them?

I have a friend whose full name is Bright Joseph and another whose name is Abdulsalam Abdulahi Usman... Now tell yourself the truth,, will you doubt me if I tell you that they are not Nigerians, while they are? Africans have lost their identity in the name of the so-called religions.

Thank your GOD you said you're a historian, then what stops us from thinking better to further develop and promote our history?? - The fact is, those histories are dead (only the Whites promote theirs).

In the next 100 years who will speak your language?

What do you think is the inspiration behind the technology you use (including your handsets)? You can talk to someone in America from Nigeria - how is that possible? Christians and muslims talk about certain practices been fetish but you never knew that your handset, including the network provider, is fetish in itself?
Was the technology drawn from your bible or quran? If so, Nigerians should be able to produce theirs cuz we have bright scholars in the field who clearly understand to-and-fro of the books.

The vehicles you drive, can you research on how the manufacturers START the engines in their assembly of thousands when they are newly made? They are ignited by incantations without any key, button or touch any wire...

See.. the world is spiritual, everything revolves round spirituality and they can birth good fruits if we use them wisely - with accompanying consequences.

Africa is now a failed continent because we cannot contribute anything to global progress (e.g. computers, phones, motors, airplanes, refrigeration, ac's, internet, even tooth pick, etc)..

We are babies and consumers, if they don't do, we cannot do or know.. The Great Africans were of the past, not the modern slaves of now - even though the old Africans started the mess because of greed.
We are over religious even more than those that brought it. The two useless religions has destroyed Africa beyond repair..

As a Historian, read about the missionaries and how they plunged the continent, especially Nigeria, into the destruction it is today.





You can also take time to read about experiences like "The Wretchedness of the Earth by Franz Fanon" ----- "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa by Walter Rodney" -- and see the role of the so-called religions.

PEACE!!!

I was smiling as I was reading your reply to my comment. It's refreshing to see young adults like you asking these kind of questions, asking questions like these was what actually got me into trouble with some overzealous "Christians" that can't even defend their faith if push comes to shove. Truth be told, the Holy Bible is actually a chronicle of Jewish history, while the Koran is also a chronicle of twisted Jewish history and that of Arabs.
I've not read those books you mentioned, but I'll advice you read the book "What's wrong with being black" by Matthew Ashimolow (please read it with an open mind) and also read Babylon the Great" by Paul Howell. The idolatry of Mizraim put where we are today. The world's first university and library where located in Africa. Pythogoras was educated in Egypt. Many European philosophers where educated in Egypt. A black Egyptian calculated that the circumference of the Earth centuries before Galileo said that the Earth was round. Africans where civilized when the Europeans of those days where still leaving in caves. But due to our idolatrous background we lost everything. I'm Igbo and we Igbos had our own alphabet way before the era of slave trade called nsịbịdị(Google it). We were not roaming about naked and daft as the Europeans would want us to believe. It was George Orwell that said “The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” They destroyed our history and heritage and gave is whatever they cooked up. Blacks are and still remain one of the most intellectual races on Earth. But the error of Nimrod is what is still holding us back.
On technological innovations , it might interest you to know that most of the technological innovations we see today where invented by blacks, but the ideas where stolen and patented whites. So brah, don't sell yourself short. We are the best.

bukatyne:
What does Olaedo mean?

Sounds like Yoruba.

Ọlaedo means Golden Jewel.

It's totally Igbo.

Rt. Honorable. Chibuike Rotimi Amechi, kuku sell us give China na, since we shouldn't scrutinize the terms and conditions of a loan we will be paying for, let us just agree with you in good faith abi? These are the people that sign contract documents written in Chinese without caring to know what it contains. To defend his criminality he has made it a South South issue to pitch the people against Ossai. So every politician that has no idea what he is doing simply plays the ethnic or religious card and BOOM! All is forgiven. Abeg my people of the South South, make una use una head. This man's display of ineptitude is sickening.

Someone should please hand over the presidency to this man, so he can comfortably sell us off to China.

Abeg who get Jackie Chan number for here make I beg am to help me choose better chinko name abeg. I'm thinking Chin Chu Fat.

I am not an Atheist, I believe in Traditional Religion.

I have been a Christian and a Muslim and I finally came to my conclusion that: “GOD is not a man that HE will challenge me on the last day why I was not a Christian or Muslim?”

Of what joy do you think it would offer to GOD when He throws me into the Lake of Fire because I was neither Christian nor Muslim?
Which one is the true religion and why is it the way and the other not? Besides, Christianity also did their own Jihad in ancient Rome and others.

If by the way the two religions are going in Nigeria, definitely there is no hope.

How come our leaders are either Christians or Muslims, yet religion does not appeal to their conscience when looting money? WOw!!!

How come an overwhelming majority of Nigerians go to church or mosque, yet corruption, crime and wickedness never stop?

E.g. Minister of Disaster has no conscience when she said that school children are fed during lockdown with billions of Naira; is she not a Muslim – or is it what Islam preaches?

There is no need for further discussion – I work with a politician in Abuja and I see things that ordinary citizens don’t see.

There is no hope for NIGERIA. The game is, if you see and you’re opportune to carry, please carry big.

Finally, the gods and figurines that were described as fetish by the Whites were later bought by the Whites and taken into their respective countries – Our gods are angry because we have forsaken them.

The souls of those that were sold by our forefathers as slaves, while some of them were thrown and perished in the high seas alive are cursing us, etc.

No great country today forsake their religion, including our modern day colonial masters – the Chinese.

Africans should go back to their gods – Islam and Christianity are not working for Black people.

I'll be lying if I say I don't get what you are saying. I once gave up on religion totally myself, I never went close to a church building for over 15years. I studied the Koran for sometime, but it was almost one and the same, I went into spiritism, still no answers. I'm a student of history till date, and I read wide in other to be versatile in any subject thrown my way. It took a special grace of God and an encounter with the Holy Spirit to bring me back to the fold.
Study and read the history of Africans how illustrious our past was even from the age of Nimrod and when Egypt was called Kemet and later Mizraim. It was our proficiency in idol worship that got us to where we are today. There was a time that Africans where taking Europeans as slaves, but those glory days are now things of the past, because of our propensity for violence and backbiting.
I come from a political family, so I know the high level of criminality going on in the corridors of power in this country. But no matter what I still love and believe in this country no matter how battered it might be, I have no other country apart from this one.
For me everybody has a right to believe in whatever he/she wants to believe in. But what I can never stand for is twisting a known truth. Even the Bible says that after the righteous is caught up then the great judgement. So those who are not part of those caught up in the skies will be judged according to their conscience. So do right by yourself and leave right.

Simple.

It's like this Southern Kaduna issue keeps getting worst by the day. The bandits arm of Boko Haram is busy implementing ethnic cleansing in southern kaduna, and CAN is speaking English.


Please people defend yourselves.

It is so because we accept the religion with a very bad attitude. Imagine how pastors extort members, saying... drop everything you have in your pocket and empty your account to challenge GOD and see what will happen by the end of this month..(we all know they are lies).

It is so because the religions, especially Christianity, no longer appeals to conscience.. The Muslims already have Jihad, which is a very big problem - but the Christians that tries to preach good engage in immoral attitude without remorse, such as illicit sex (especially in choir), drugs and smoking, lies in business transactions and all round, negative in-group feel (we are this, they are them), evil, hatred, disunity, and all sort...and on Sunday, everybody will carry bible to the church. (it is based on experience of what I know)


It is so because these religions have destroyed families - Some family members no longer pass the same road again, even though they are Christians but different denominations (e.g. my uncle is the source of my problem, I think my mother is a witch, etc..).

If not for killings in Islam, Muslims don't rush after wealth like Christians - that does not mean I support Islam.

Naija Christianity is full of too many dramas - It allowed people to come in and create their own personal doctrine of how activities go on in their church. There is no single universal doctrine like Islam - and that gave way for so many nonsense to come into Christianity, which destroyed it's value.

By the practice of the two religions in Nigeria, there's no hope my brother.

From your comment, I can deduce you are an atheist.
Well, what I can tell you is that in every human endeavor their always charlatans who spoil the names of the good ones. That there are fakes doesn't mean there are no originals.

I'm an dedicated and unapologetic scientist and also a spirit filled, bloodwashed born again Christian. One of the problems we have in Christianity today is that there are a lot of unlearned zealous people parading their ignorance as truths. Many don't even know the history behind what they are prophesing and they go totally off track. On some pastors fleecing their members, that one na normal now. Mugu must fall for guy man to chop. Deception is the order of the day. Did dinosaurs exist? Yes they did and it's totally proven. All these can be easily proven from the creation story of the Bible, but some ignoramuses who haven't studied in-depthly will come here to spew rubbish.

blingxx:
they have ,infact dinosaurs roamed in africa before the ancient humans ...stop being ignorant

God bless you.






To be honest, the ignorance sometimes displayed by young Nigerians on nairaland is really painful. Some of the comments I read here makes me feel like weeping.

WTF?!!!

I really love it that people are really getting wiser. This twitte is very easy to understand.

A section of the country that has an advantage over the media, will now flood the airwaves with bad news from the South-South in other to discredit the security apparatus available in that region, thereby making that particular region look unsafe so ships will refuse to berth there out of fear of insecurity.

The truth is that, poor people in marry because of love, while rich people marry to build allegiances, improve their influence thereby improving the already wealthy foundation of both families. Tell me, why won't the rich keep getting richer?

Forget Nollywood, Bollywood protrayal of love. Wake up and smell the coffee people.



Don't marry for love. Marrying for "love" is a total waste. Even the Bible says"husbands love your wife"(Ephesians 5:25) and not "marry who you love".

All northerners, I expected absolutely nothing less from our beloved president.
If it's appointments, it goes to northerners, but once it's gets to issues where merit are involved, then we speak of Federal Character.

I'm being diplomatic brother. I hate porn extremely. That sh*t almost ruined me. It got to a point that if I'm with a babe, I'll first go and masturbate, then make I over last. I almost broke one girl's back once where I dey explore different styles(no jokes). Guy porn is a societal ill, now image all these boys wey dey watch pornography, wey no sabi talk to woman? Na to the rape dey waka bi dat one o!
Guy let them ban porn websites abeg.

blingxx:
but they found dinosaur bones ,dna and tissues don't be ignorant ,the white have no reason to lie about evolution they invented all of things and got humanity where it is today why would they lie ?

ignorance is bad sir

Don't mind them abeg!

Honestly, some ignorant comments I see people especially young people make on this thread seriously makes me weep. Tomorrow someone will be wondering why our youths are not leading this country. This is just sad.

So they mean that they didn't hear about Carbon Dating in secondary school?

Na wa o!

Pornographic websites are not our major problem in this country. We have pressing issues like unemployment, terrorism, tribalism e.t.c. These issues should be seriously looked into. But to be totally honest, I second this move by the arewa youths. I was a porn addict a few years ago. My Inquisitiveness on how to turn a ladies head upside-down in bedmatics matter turned something else. It took the the grace of God to liberate me from pornography and masturbation. Sex has been extremely commonalizied and it's totally wrong. So if they can ban pornographic websites, it will be a very welcomed idea.

Can these so called "elders" stop already? "Igbo enwe Eze" analogy has finally come to bear.
