To me, this isn't journalism.. saw it on fp as "see what married actress blah blah" the way the op couched the statement already discloses the op's position as a critic. there are tons of things to report on the internet rather than deliberately creating scandalous threads to suggest a particular thing.. Apparently, the op's choice of words indirectly express his views with respect to the subject matter.. its pointless and completely unnecessary to create threads with the sole intention to defame anyone (celebrity or not). Indeed, the freedom of the press is undeniable but that in my view isn't sufficient reason to come up with that kind of header. |
Family › Re: He Got Me Pregnant And Left Me To Suffer by dam007(m): 5:43pm On Sep 13, 2015 |
anitafancis: Dear readers please mature advice and no insult pls..
Am going throught a difficult time in my life and needed help badly, to cut the long story short, I met this man throught a friend i was living with, she introduce me to this guy saying he has money and he will be able to take care of me, I had no choice because I needed help and the guy has the money to give..
I started dating him and he gives me money a lot and promise to get me an accommodation which I did believe him of course. I got pregnant for him and he told me to keep the pregnancy which i refused but my girlfriend told me to keep it that he may even marry me. After five months plus, he started changing towards me and telling me he doesn't have money anymore. When I try to talk about the situation at hand, he gets angry and even tries to hit me..
He does not give me money anymore, he is always drinking and smoking.. I couldn't go for an abortion because I was scared and it's too late for abortion. I came home after service on sunday and found out that he was not at home and he has packed all his things and left an empty house for me. I cried throught out that day. Where am I going to start from with almost six months pregnancy? I later found out that he's married and he has 3 kids..
What am I going to do?. Pls advice.. Two words... "One-Chance"  |

Osisie: Perhaps, I was a bit judgmental. I'm only human!
The university isn't my first higher institution. I graduated from Benue State Polytechnic in 2012. Ordinary Diploma in Mass Comm. I was the best graduating student. Got an award, one I now rather stamp under my feet.
Cos after I finished, I realized the race is not for the swift. And fastest runners don't always win the race. So, now I know better.
Good Luck to everyone. plus, being human is no excuse to be judgmental... |

Osisie: Welcome to the real world, bro. I get upset when undergrads act like they'll be in sch for ever. All the partying and fun fair will end one day, it's as certain as death is to every man. So, y not prepare? Start planning ur life from ur first year in sch. U could even become rich by the time u're graduating.....but no! They'll keep partying and merrying about. It's ok to practice law....ur passion. But it's far better to be able to deep hands in ur pocket and pay the bills conviniently.
I advice u embark on a quest to become rich....legitimately. Then u can even own ur own law firm, if law is ur passion. Take a clue from Tunde Bakare, Femi , and Muiz Banire.
Go and read "The Richest Man In Babylon". That should get u started.
Goodluck.
Btw, I'm a 100L student of Kogi State Uni. And I already got a life plan. your course?? remember, what rocks your boat might sink another's... besides, I feel you were a bit judgmental when you said #they party and merry# trust me, there are certain things you have to understand when you're in a tertiary institution. if you have your hands tied well enough you'll understand what the pleasure of letting off steam whenever you can really means to students under real pressure . I remember a time back in the university when all I had for myself each day was roughly 2 hours of 24... you cant really appreciate it now, you're only a 100 level student.. you'll get there. |

aribs: Hey there, I totally understand the way you feel right now. Its the same way I felt about 9 years back after youth service. my first salary was 5, 000 in Ibadan and I remembered thinking to myself "what have I gotten myself into?". now know this- the law profession is a great profession but it is a profession for hardworking people. the fact is the Nigerian economy is taking its own toll on the practice abilities of colleagues like yourself to sustain themselves. The seniors in the profession do not help the matter too. this is where you have to be creative and daring. for instance in my case I went to become a state counsel and later travelled out for my masters in the US. today I am an international tax counsel with knowledge in economics and finance. be creative ma'am. take whatever comes your way for now and get into the system. from there, drop the lawyer stiffness and talk to people and increase your social contacts . the connections will come like a trickle but nurture them till they become a flood. do what comes to you diligently and learn as much as you can. you have a unique knowledge not many people have . use it . I remember while I was a lawyer working for Oyo State, I volunteered for the difficult land cases. this made me know lots of people then in Ibadan. I went on radio to talk about new areas such as Alternative Dispute Resolution. the law certificate is just a mere ticket to the party. what you make of it is entirely up to you. I managed properties, sold land, marketed same , drafted agreements, sold diesel, formed companies for people, did divorces, evicted nonpaying tenants and so many more things I could not count. All legal and honorable. Get going and roll up your sleeves ma'am. I wish you all the best. Let me know how you are doing . I'm really encouraged by your words sir.. |

josite: im a lawyer for over 2 decades and what i can telll you right now is you are the one with a wrong mindset and a wrong approach to the market.You don't start any race discouraged .My best advice for you right now is to seek scholarship and do masters and possibly phd and get yourself started on a ladder that leads to professorship or perm sec.
You sounds surely as someone who is not prepared for the tough career of a legal practitioner in Nigeria which is even getting tougher by the seconds.Better still you can join customs or police or immigration or politics.
I will do one thing for you .send your cv .we can arrange a probation for you for a limited time in chambers but believe me if you cant add value,the probation will not be extended and you will certainly get more far in excess of 15000 during the probabtion and more than enough empowerment to finetuned your career direction.supply your gsm here and i will give you the email.
stop being pessimistic,start praying and never stop praying and hoping and working,even 2000 failed applications doesn't mean all the applications will always fail.you owe apologies to the profession because we dont know of any firm paying 15k monthly. With profound respect sir, its the news that keeps flying around.. that gist has been on and subsisting for years.. only a few are brave enough to look past the discouragement the news brings... |

Wanted to study law, but was discouraged it's not worth it. I'm sure I will have easily finished with a min of a 2.1 in both uni and law skul.
Put in for a 4 year course and I'm earning my cash. My mates dt put in for law are still eida in law skul or serving, when they come to the labour mkt, no advantage.

queenfav: I woke up this morning with a lot on my mind. So much that I didn't know when tears started rolling down my cheeks.
I am getting frustrated. To think I did everything right in school to ensure I left with with a 2:1 grade. I ask myself ,where did I go wrong? To make matters worse, my family members think all is well since I am a "barrister".
I am slowly beginning to regret my decision to be a lawyer. Though I am still serving as a batch C corps member,I get scared. So scared that I may have to take up work in a firm that pays 15000 naira. God knows I have tried. I have sent out more than 200 applications, yet nothing!
Which job recuitment site have I not signed up with? This was not what I envisaged for my career when I was being called to bar. Even in the midst of the mass failure of my set, I bagged a 2.2 from law school; still nothing to show for it. I know people from my university that graduated with 3rd class now working with top law firms.
Well, I have been told to stop wasting my time by applying for associate jobs on the websites of law firms. The reason being that they rarely employ lawyers anonymously. It is mostly through recommendation or connection. God knows I really want to practice law, but the job is not forthcoming. I have my rent to pay, bills to take care of and cannot survive on 15k a month after 6 years of going to school. I am open to suggestions anyways.
Someone even adviced I start a business or learn a trade! Yes, that's how sad it is. Many may feel am overreacting. All fingers are not equal. Family members and friends I thought would be able to help out are now giving me the cold shoulder. I have cause to be worried since I am solely responsible for myself now. I can't even bear the thought of going back home to depend on my parents. If I had known it was going to be this way, I wouldn't have wasted my time and resources becoming a lawyer. What's the point? I am still looking and bringing myself to apply to firms.
After december, I may have to think of something else to do. Listen queenfav, I felt this same way too and really, I must admit, the thought of being unemployed and being used recklessly without good pay is appalling. till a couple of months back, I was in that trouble too. I have one thing I can guarantee, God. I finished with the last set of law school students (Lagos Campus). The result came out recently and thankfully, I made it... That's not all, I submitted my cv in two companies In the state where I reside and now currently work... one of the two companies didn't respond.. these companies lest I forget aren't Law firms but they have a legal unit that handles all their legal matters including follow up of their pending suits, official letters and all sort. I'm yet to serve in fact but somehow, God came through for me.. the invitation for the job interview came, went for it and shortly after, I was called and just like that, I got the job. do not give up just yet, you're more than you think you are, its frustrating I admit but really, you don't really have to start with a law firm to get into something.. believe me dear.. tons of people are out there with the same problem, cast your net again, this time not for one but other kinds of fish too... don't let the demeaning things people on this thread or anywhere else get to you.. for the record queen, I finished law school in may, i'm not in anyway connected to anyone in my workplace but the only one I k now is God. And believe me when I tell you.. God is indeed amazing, if he fixed me, ohh c'mon.. He'll fixya.. cheer up girl  |

Buharifan: Hello,
There is a lady I got her number through 'truecaller number search' about a year ago. Incidentally, we happened to be from the same state. Based on my conversation with her I can deduced that she is religious and intelligent. She is a University student. She even happened to know one of my sisters in her class.
I made an attempt to see her when I visit home last year. She refused to see me, instead called me to thank God for journey mercy back to my state of residence. From there, I stopped calling her because me I want a serious relationship but she seems not serious. So I called off the r/ship. After about 6 months she sent me greetings on whatsapp which I accepted, and restarted the talking and the chatting. This week she came to one neighbouring state for a wedding, and I offered to visit her which she accepted. I travelled to the state ysterday to see her. on reaching there, I called her around 5:30pm she gave the venue I can meet her but she said after sunset lets meet. After sunset, I called she said she has left the venue, I asked her to tell me where she is now, she declined. It is story upon story. She refused to pick my calls later. I decided to return to my state that night and got hone around 12:30am.
What surprise me is this is somebody I see as religious but ending up decieving me. It is a lesson. Two words! "St.upid Mugu" |

Education › Re: 5 Foolish Things Guys Who Cohabit With Girls In Universities Do!!! by dam007(m): 9:06am On Feb 16, 2015 |
Rapmoney: During my sojourn in the Ivory Tower, I knew many guys who had their girlfriends stay with them! The truth is that any girl that brings her stuffs to stay in your house in school must have a secrete plan. Now, you ain't married yet she stays with you in your one-room apartment or probably, a bed-sitter. You may think you are having a swell time, but my guy, let me tell you, you are definitely in for it!!! When a guy allows his girlfriend to stay with him in school, he is bound to do the following 5 foolish things:
1) You spend the hard-earned money of your parents or guardians to rent an apartment and she packs in. She will save the money that has been given to her and use it to better her life! You go dey there dey form 'married man' I guess you have never worked for money before so you don't freaking know what it means to cough out thousands or hundreds of thousands to rent an apartment! I know guys who wouldn't allow their younger ones stay with them in school, but dem fit pay continuously for an apartment for dem and their girlfriends from 100L to final year. What a pity!!!
2) You start feeding her! Deh say small pikin wey wan carry e papa for shoulder, na big blokos go suffocate am!!! When you decide to live like a married man, you must also accept the responsibilities of a married man! Simple. How can you be taking care of somebody when you are still being taken care of? I don't get it. Most girls who find themselves in such position would definitely pray it lasts till they sit for their degree exams! She buys Brazilian hairs, jewelry, shoes, bags, clothes, etc with her up-keep money And you? You use yours to buy breads, fry eggs and make tea for the both of you! Not forgetting that her friends will still come and eat. When will you have sense then?
3) If both of you are in the same dept., you end up doing assignments for her, writing tests and exams for her! Didn't God give her brain? There's a high possibility that she would graduate with a 2.1 and you, a 2.2 or a 3rd class because God must surely punish you for cheating and impersonating
4) You lose your privacy and the opportunity to interact and associate with other reasonable, focused and ambitious students on campus! Your friends take precaution before they visit you. You are stuck with just one person. Why do you think young people are always encouraged to reach out to and make friends with members of the opposite sex far from the time they would be getting married? I ask you, Papa Lotanna!!! Yes, that's who you are since you have decided to get married in school without the knowledge of your parents. That's why I still prefer private universities. Things like cohabiting hardly take place!
5) Foolishly thinking that both of you will get married at last! Most of the guys I knew personally in the university who cohabited with their girlfriends were later dumped or jilted after graduation. Reason: those girls would not want to lose their privacy normally living with a guy from 100L to final year but they decided to cohabit to save their resources and live on the guys' resources I told you, these girls have plans and you are not part of their plans...just one of the steps on the ladder for those plans to be achieved!!! So when will you have sense, I asked again?
Go to school, study very hard, learn a trade or skill as you are schooling. Make adequate plans for life after graduation. Stop making marriage plans with your that babe that cohabits with you. If you do, you do, you either day-dreaming or living in a fool's paradise! You are free to have girlfriend because you are mature but don't allow them cohabit with you!
A word is enough for the wise...peace to ya' all. Happy Sunday!!! so now anyone who disagrees with your k-legged perception of things is involved...?? I now see why you posted it anyway.. |
