He makes people dance but he won't do much of dancing. Who else noticed this?

I do. He has a way of making the heaven and earth jump and dance through different styles, but the culprit stands still holding his microphone firmly.

My love for Ebenezer Obey is massive.

Best bet is to look for a filling station in a strategic location to lease. Trust me, in 2-4 years, you will triple that amount, but I must also tell you that you must be ready to do what or belong to what they belong to.

Is 20MN okay to set up a filling station?

Please tell me more about this, Sir.

Hello dear nairalanders.

Please I'm going through a state of mental confusion.

Currently i have approximately 20 million and 300 thousand naira in my bank account.

I have two thoughts.

1) I am 25 years old but I'm not a university graduate, i only have ND (National deploma) from a polytechnic In Edo state, Auchi precisely.

I would have become a graduate years ago but after my "ND" years ago, i refused to go back to school and i decided to hustle for money.

Most of my classmates in school back then are all graduates but all the same, looking at my bank account now, i have no regrets.

So this is what i plan on doing.

1) Can i further my Education In any university in the United States with the money and plan on staying back after my degree, for the fact that I'm 25.
Will that be advisable?

2) should i stay back in Nigeria and use part of the money to build a house In my hometown in Benin and use the rest for business?

3) Is there a chance of going to USA and start all over again, look for job.
Will the money be enough to rent a house, foot some bills untill i see a job in the USA.

Note i choose USA only because it's my dream country, I'm not scared of the traveling ban because I'm 100% confident that it will be taken away few months from now.

Please i won't be replying any mention or questions.

All i want is to take note of good advice.

I already know a reliable traveling agent.

Please other suggestions are welcomed apart from mine.

Please help

If I were you, I wouldn't consider going to the US for now.

Based on the following reasons;

The US has got an adamant president who happens to be the begotten son of ''Talk and Do''.

His campaign promises are hugely on the war against illegal immigrants and precisely Nigerians. Trump isn't going back, brother. Don't be hopeful on that. For every black man you see in America, be 85℅ sure he is a Nigerian. Trump is also being hard on countries with terrorism issues. You can only except more harsh decisions from this great president.

The EU also is also banning us, which means that Canada and Australia will be over flooded by Nigerians, they will also react within a little time.

I ADVISE that you let your travelling be about a tour of countries on business purposes not for permanent residency.

But before that, you must have a dependable business on this soil first.

Dependable business are businesses of low risks and also remain lucrative for a life time like Real Estate...

Buying a building of 8Million Naira in Lagos and also rebuilding it for rentals to shop/flat apartments 300-350k per tenant will be nice.

25years from now,

you'll still be having your hands stretched forth annually for your yearly dues from all tenants.

With the income made from this building, you can explore other businesses, travel with no fear of being financially doomed in the future.

I am also like you, I desperately want a way out of this country over anything else, but with this travel bans from countries here and there.

I will only wait to settle well...

A deportee with an asset of 20Million on his home soil is far better than a deportee with an enviable Instagram page and travel stories waiting to be shared.

God will usher your steps, bro.

Best course to study is the one you are passionate about.. The one that can fuel your creativities!!!

More wisdom my brother.

If everyone permit their passion to usher them into careers, the best practitioners will be found in every sphere.
But, No! The majority go thinking about money spinning courses all thanks to poverty, pride and ignorance.

As for myself,
I noticed I've got a natural flair for writing.
I have written a lot of poems and a few books, I'm sure of bagging a degree in English in the coming years. Besides, I am a male hairdresser, I'm keen on making money outside my course of study.

A distinction doesn't justify brilliance, just as old age doesn't depict wisdom.

I am a longtime fan of positive associations and responsible fraternities that helps better the lives of myself and mankind at large. Which is one of the sole reasons I'm in here with great minds as you.

In a society where the number of insane minds have outnumbered the sane ones, rag sales becomes an inevitably lucrative business.

Naira Marley was promoted by his National team of mentally derailed youths to whom life spent behind bars is worthy to be glorified.

Beating chests to the life spent behind bars depicts a gross degradation of the sanity of the youths and humanity at large.

And I keep wondering...
What's so honourable in wearing a thousand trousers with missing belts, with chains around the legs and beans that makes the eyes melt?

I wonder if they could tell.

I recall our elders warning us off the trend of sagging trousers, it's really getting worse a menace with the No Belts! No Pants! campaign endorsed by the so called Marlians and their president.

It's no doubt that the societal effects of the rampant drugs intake by our youths is beginning to take its shape.

The youths are no longer on the look for the positive messages been passed/promoted in songs before fanning, but for the amount of nonsense been said in support of the vices they practice.

Whenever I see Fela Anikulapo Kuti, I see a gem who is so adamant on criticizing the political mishaps of our rulers and also naming names of all wrongdoers in government using his only tool, Music.

Whenever I see Fela, I see beyond the cannabis he puffs. I see a man who never betrayed human activism amidst all forms of threats against his safety. One beautiful Soul he is.

Whenever I see Bob Marley, I see a man who sings in the pursuit of liberty. One whose dream is to defeat the unjust set of rulers to whom freedom is a treasure not to be enjoyed by the poor.

Wherever I see Bob Marley, I see beyond the weeds glued to his fingers, I see a man of inestimable values.

Whenever I see 2 Pac, I see a man who stood in the defence of the black race in vengeance to the unfair treatments championed by the phraonic whites. I see a man who wanted the world to see beyond colors, tribes and races.

I look beyond the weeds, I acknowledge the values in his manhood and the tasty sense in his lyrics.

When I see Naira Marley, I see nothing better than a famous thug star whose vulgar lyrics fetches the bag and fame highly needed by him, but at the expense of the wellness of his youthful fans.

My Advice to Parents: is to get close to your kids, Try to know their much loved mentor, from there you'll get the replica of what they are aiming to become.

So what do you call this comment?

Pro nono

He ought not to have commented in the first place, he claimed to be a lawyer and he couldn't show some sort of brave gestures towards making the client his. He failed to share his contact with her or even make her feel like a messiah stands in her defence and hereafter tell her his service price.

With the way he commented, the lady can't be convinced to borrow funds to pay his service charge. Later, they'd say law isn't a lucrative field.

pamelaayomide:
Nairalanders I am actually typing this with fear of what to come.

I am an active member of this forum but change moniker by registering and creating a new one here to hide my identity.

Origin...

I met my boyfriend in school actually we were in the same department at funnab. We did things together. We were in love and had sex when we feel like it. We planned to get married after school.

Mistake...

I went to a birthday party of one of my close friends, I had three friends and we are like clique.
During the party I got drunk and the guy that took us to the party in his car took advantage of my drunken state and had sex with me and make it look like it is consensual. During the act I know what was happening but was too weak and blurred. I didn't know there was a video recording of the act. When I woke up the guy was no where to be found so I kept it to myself.

Blackmail...

When my guy found out that I cheated on him, he was furious. I denied it initially but when he showed me the sex clip I admitted it but defended myself on the ground that it was rape and not consensual. I summon courage and asked him how did he come up with the sex tape but that he would not answer to. He left that moment and I start feeling that he knows something about the tape and wants to blackmail.

Threat...

He showed up one day at my hostel and threaten to leak the tape online. I begged him profusely not to do that but he said my plea and tears are waste of time. That he will let everyone know the kind of loose lady I am for betraying and cheating on him. That I will regret the day I met him. That I doesn't deserve his love.

Currently...

He is yet to release the clip but may actually do that with what is happening to the Babcock ex student.

What should I do to stop him before he destroys me.

I can be of help to you, Ma'am.

Call on the Community For The Defence of Human Rights (CDHR). They are human right lawyers who will pick up the case on your behalf with no dime from your wallet.

The cult guys can help you threaten him but in subsequently seek your body in return for the favour they did. They may as well do wrong job(Kill him, get into a gang fight with his men) which offends the constitution of the land as they are also an illegal gang. Don't call them! They'll make the issue worse.

On the sextape,
The video might have been saved on several storage devices for optimum safety.

Henceforth, I'll advice you call on your boyfriend severally with an active sound recorder kept closed to your phone so as to have a tangible audio evidence before the court, beg him and let him keep running his mouth on his intended plan.

Videoing you without your consent is much for a count, having canal knowledge of you while you're not in full sanity is another reason he'll wear the all blue uniform.

Either, he posts the video or not, he is a prisoner that is yet to see his chains.

If you get anything wrong in this case, you may pay with your life. Please, don't call the frats, call on a lawyer instead.

I'm not a lawyer but a lawyer in embryo. I'd like to help you. A threat to one life is a threat against all.

There's a lot to be bothered about and not this.
This is indeed the height of misplaced priorities.

Someone that should be worried that she is yet to register for antenatal classes is more concerned over the Social Media Bill.

Who doesn't know about the misappropriation and mismanagement of funds going on in our higher institutions? Na only get fingers to type "long long English" (in Mercy Eke"s voice). I feel for him but he brought this mess upon himself

Edit
@all the people ranting and bellowing under my mention. How many have publicly called out your school authorities? How many of you have written open letters to your VC accusing him of theft, sabotage, ratting out students to EFCC amongst other things? If no and you're still undergraduates, kindly take to your Facebook or Instagram accounts and do so. Till then, buzz off my mentions.

You're obviously part of the problems Nigeria needs to get rid of.

I'm sure you can't think better than a mannequin.

You nailed it, brother.

But, before doing this, he should reappoint a new set of defence directors, which includes; the chief of army/Naval/Air staff, Chief of Defence staff/Minister for defence and so on.

2. He should get into a bilateral agreement with Russia or Isreal as the USA are already known to be greedy when it comes to such agreements.

3. He should make all the senior Army officers come swear an oath against the nation's betrayal, using the Quran, Bible and the traditional deities that widely recognized by our culture/heritage.

Those of us here in Borno ain't scared of Bokoharam anymore because they have been subdued by the Military and ISWAP faction.

What we fear now is ISWAP who don't release audio messages but are now in control 5 LGAs in Borno North senatorial zone.

That name Al-Barnarwi

ISWAP? 5 local government areas?

Can't we just have a massive deployment of soldiers down there with the sars officers taking the front stage?

There are eye contacts you can wear, call on an optician to help you. Don't go without visiting an optician.

I know of a person who applied for the same DSSC form in the past, he got screened out for the short sightedness issue. He didn't know that's much for a problem until he was sent packing and he realized later on that wearing an eye contact would have saved him from the dismissal.

Amatrillion:
Enrol in online university. Nexford university (Washington DC), Atlantic International University (IOWA, US), etc. You will graduate in 2-3 years period. These universities are far better than Nigerian universities. Study at your own pace.
Online study at the comfort of your zone will expose you to many modern courses not offered in Nigerian universities.

Brother please how do one get to apply for these degrees/schools?

Mshad662:
A friend of mine got a job and also want to further his edu but the Job isn't giving him much time. 2 days off in a week. And they close operations by 4:30pm.

How can he work and still further his Edu?

Please your DETAILED Suggestions would be appreciated.

Tell your friend to try get a degree through Unilag DLI or University of Ibadan DLC. That will be a great move for him. He'll school via the computer and continue his work. For UNILAG, exams a red one yearly. For UI he can write the exams on or off campus, depending on his choice. But, they write their DLC exams at the end of each semester. It's the 21st century, bro. That's not much for a problem.

Adriel3:
Creating a meaningful career is one of the most consequential pursuits in life. Our capacity for career success is often the measure by which we evaluate all of our success, and our sense of happiness often hinges on finding career fulfillment. Whether you’re in the process of launching a new career or changing your current profession, you deserve to find a path that fits your interests, goals and personality. Now is your chance to get to know yourself so that choosing a career path comes naturally. Understanding how to choose a career centers around viewing your profession as an expression of your passions. Get back to yourself – what drives you, your working style and leadership style – and you’ll create the rewarding career of your dreams.

HOW TO CHOOSE A CAREER
Choosing a career path is an empowering process. You have everything you need within you to discover your dream career. To build a toolbox for growing your career, write down the passions and gifts you bring to the table. You’ll find that understanding how to choose a career boils down to leveraging your unique traits and talents.
PRIORITIZE FULFILLMENT

Choosing a career path is a different ballgame from selecting a job. A job may meet a number of short-term needs, including income, direction, networking and skill development. Having a job also implies work – a duty-driven task replete with meaning that saps your enthusiasm. A career is mission-driven, connects to your passions, meets your short-term needs and provides genuine fulfillment.
When you are trying to build your career, it’s easy to become distracted or discouraged by your weaknesses. The reality is that all of us have weaknesses, and it’s your strengths that are your gift to the business world. Understanding your gift is the secret to contentment, so ask yourself: What is my gift? Are you an artist? A manager? An entrepreneur? Your business identity, including the skills and attitudes that drive your decisions, distinguishes you as a professional. By recognizing and leveraging your natural assets, you’re able to make the most of your talents in choosing a career path.
VALUE YOUR GIFT

I enjoy public speaking. I am a good Writer, Poet and Debater and political spectator. I have an excellent communication skill and that's one of my few gifts. It took me 23years before I was able to identify my strengths and interests. I wish I had known myself from a tender age. Nonetheless, I have a crush on the law career and I'd love to wear that woolen wig before death calls. I'd love to unchain the illegally detained and imprisoned ones. I choose to be an agent of change across the Nigerian judiciary.

I'm keenly interested in this case, I also would like to know what it's really gonna look like to leave Nigeria as a lawyer and go practicing law in UK, US or Canada. How can that be possible? What are the steps to be taken?

Ademola47:
Hello Nairalenders,

Please, I need your advice experienced medicine graduates, students and consultants.

I am a 19-year-old medicine (MBBS) aspirant. I have written three jamb and MBBS admission has not come my way.

I applied twice in ui and once in Unilag.
For the unilag admission, I was 11 marks below the cut off mark in 2017.

In 2018, I was 2 marks below the cut off mark in ui.
This year, my aggregate is relatively low.

Now, I need advice on:
1. How to score 340+ in the forthcoming (2020) utme.
2. How to re strategize
3. How to eliminate boredom while reading/preparing.

4. Materials/books I can prepare with.

Also, I'll be glad to learn from your experience.

Thanks in anticipation.


PS: My utme score has always been between 280-318

My brother, this is exactly how great people ply their route to success. You may think it's over and may be feeling weak. Please never do.

There are many people with similar experiences and stories as yours. They are now living the dream.

My advice to you is to understand some few things hindering your admission.

In Nigeria,

1. You have failed to realize that connection to the authentic workers of the school can save you from this mess.

Nigeria lives in the womb of corruption and it's so sad, she may never be delivered.

My brother,

Go to that same Unilag, Approach a Medicine and Surgery student, narrate your ordeal to he or she. (She is preferable) tell he/she to lead you to a lecturer or anyone who could help you get admitted there, you'll be amazed to realize that a lesser score this time won't hinder you from being admitted.

Even if you pass the cut off mark, corruption may never let them pick you. In Nigeria, you have to know the horsemen, if you want a good ride.

Nigeria is indeed a bleeped up country.

All the best, brother.

Grandlord:
Forget Medicine. Software is the future.

His passion towards medicine shouldn't be swiftly ridiculed by you. As humans, we all have got our interests and strengths.

Obviously, the boy loves medicine and he is so less concerned about the romance between the future and software.

He has got a huge passion for medicine and surgery not codes and applications.

Please, my brother. Anytime you meet passionate people, encourage them. Never lure them into loving what you love. Besides, work is not work when you genuinely love what you do.

OvaSabi1:
Stop complaining, you should have paid the 15k. Even ACCA the world's largest Accounting body will charge you 25k for your script to be remarked. It is not even like they will remark it, they will just do a recount.
Stop doing strong head for everything, this is Nigeria. I will go out on a limb to tell you that you should have paid the initial 7k. Yes I said it. If you cannot cope, get out of Nigeria. The deficiency is endemic, only you cannot beat it.
Stubbornness is for 20 minutes, CGP is for ever.
Pick up yourself with the lessons learnt and try to balance your portfolio with professional certifications.

C'mon brother! You need to do better. It's not like we are saints here, but it's one is not suppose to dance to the drums of the wicked at the detriment of one's happiness. You will pay if you were in his shoes, doesn't make it right to pay. He is in Nigeria, doesn't make it right to keep to the instructions of a tyrant. Why should he pay? I guess to avoid all of these problems and encourage cruelty/corruption towards some more students. There are better ways to get over this problem if he chooses not to pay as well.

The reason these lecturers have continued to act this way is because students keep paying these illegal fees, and why should that continue to happen? They'll never stop these act if nothing is being done. C'mon brother. Let him speak up. This is Nigeria, Yes... The Prisons are still functioning.

nointerestinsch:
What you are about to read is the deluge from the heart of a broken National Diploma finalist in one of the Polytechnics in Nigeria. I am 20 years old. I have created a new account to share this, only my coursemates or people in my school would recognize me through this article.

The past week has been the most depressing week of my entire life; as much as I have been living with depression for the past few months, this week has been overwhelming.

I used to be the most-hardworking student I know. I was top of my class in ND 1. I ensured I finished all the textbooks of the courses we offered in each semester. In the euphoria of how well my hardwork paid off, my goal for ND 2 was to graduate with a Distinction, and top my class again. The way things panned out in my first year made me love how a student could be rewarded if the student puts in his or her best in studying.

Fast-forward to ND 2 first semester, I finished all the textbooks and made sure I understood the courses by self-testing and tutoring my colleagues – as usual. Our semester results are released at the beginning of the next semester. I never fret at the WhatsApp Broadcast of Facebook Post that a course result has been released. The first course (Entrepreneurship) result of last semester was pasted in the second week of resumption and I had a ‘CD’ – this was my lowest grade all through my stay in the school till date. I didn’t take it to heart as I didn’t study this course too well last semester and it was a 2-credit unit course.
But then, one week later, the result for one of my courses (OO COBOL) was released. I had an ‘F’. To put this in perspective, this is one of the easiest programming languages out there. Plus, it is an outdated language – already says a lot about the standard down here. I and a few of my coursemates were the best at this course last semester. I personally was getting paid to help fill practical manuals. It was basically one of those courses I wouldn’t need to study for prior to an exam the next day. I had an ‘F’. I’m not ‘clouting’, but the best grades in this course ironically belonged to people who would not be able to write a simple “Hello World” program using this programming language. I completely broke down at the sight of my name trailing to an ‘F’ on the result sheet. I immediately persuaded the few “good students” who also got “F”’s and were sure they did well to join me and go make a case to our Head of Department (HOD). I represented the group and told the HOD that this is not what we expect for a course like this. I asked if we could see our marked exam answer sheets. Would you believe it? He said the answer sheets have not been submitted to him, and that if I want a remarking, I would have to pay N15,000 to the school management or the remarking panel (or whatever name they try to scam us with). I was disgusted at these revelations. I mean, how can I be charged 15k for me to just get a chance to prove myself? 15k? Just to see and prove my own exam answers? This is an educational institution, and not a law court or the police station. The HOD said he cannot do anything about it, that we only have the option of going to ‘see’ the lecturer.

The lecturer had on several occasions, after the exam, related to the entire class through the class rep that each student needs to pay at least 7k or else you would fail. I ignored all of those because I thought they were threats and believed I did more than enough to get at least a “B”. It eventually turns out the lecturer wasn’t blabbing about it. I don’t know how I would be able to face myself knowing I paid to get a grade in school. I am at a crossroad. I am lost.

This is my ordeal. I have absolutely lost any interest and passion for school. For real, what is the essence of all my sleepless nights? Sacrificing trendy clothes and sneakers for data subscription and materials to do research? When, in the end, a fellow that did not even attend lectures will have a better grade because he or she has money to give the lecturer? Is this the way it has been from way back? Or did the standard just drop so low? Why have these lecturers taken pride in extorting other people’s pockets and suppressing bright minds? Why have they used money to promote waywardness in higher institutions? Why is money the determining factor of student’s grades and not the student’s academic performance fueled by unwavering passion for studying and learning?

These and many more unanswered questions are the reasons why I have lost all interest in school and education. Nothing actually interests me now. School is a total waste of precious time. People party all semester and show up to sign attendance on the exam day, then pay money to the lecturer to pass. It’s all money, money and more money! All these pot-bellied bastards destroying destinies and killing dreams! Would they do this to their own children?

I want to speak up, but I can’t. I am depressed. I am discouraged. I am tired. I want to quit school.

Thank you for reading up!

My brother I feel your pain, you have done your bit by giving your all towards a proud academic excellence.

With the little you've said, I have known you to be a computer science student just as me. I acknowledge your brilliance and it's the fact that no student will leave ND1 as a distinction student then fail OOCOBOL in year two. Never!

It's true that the labour market is not interested in your grades. As it is boldly written on the streets walls of Nigeria ''Vacancy"" OND, BSC, HND in computer science as a requirement for jobs not, Lower Credit, Upper Credit or Distinction. Your abilities are all that matters to them not your grades.

You may still feel cheated by these devilish lecturers attack on you but you just have to bare in mind that there is a big problem awaiting you when you try to agitate in a wrong way.

If I were you, I would have got a small body camera and a sound recorder attached to me before going to the HOD and afterwards to the lecturer in question.

I will then sue them to court, don't be afraid. You'll get compensated hugely. The Law court is always interested in evidences to claims en route to justice.

Your evidences will be made confidential, only your lawyer should know about them. With these evidences, you've won the case from home.

All you need to be aware of is that the remaining lecturers may plan to fight you back in anyway they can , for putting their colleagues into the trouble they called for. Just inform your lawyer about the possible threat, he'll inform the Judge. The judge may instruct the school authority to always allow you snap your examsheets upon completion of the exams or suggest any better idea. Guy, The Law is the way out. You ought to sue those bastards.

VivaDeAngelo:
This is becoming disgraceful to Nigeria and the continent. Must Nigerian players always complain and or protest, are they the only national team being owed? I understand that of the Falcons because some of them are still living in poverty. But Super Eagles nawaooooo, most of these players are made for life nau why always bring the nation to disrepute. Most of the African stars build schools and hospitals for their respective countries and donate their match allowances to charity; take Mo Salah for example but their own na soso to protest upandan.
Nigerian government and the NFF are shameless. Why allow this to be a recurring decimal? Maybe they do not deserve any good from anybody that is why these players do not show any manner of patriotism to the nation.

It seems you don't really understand the word ''entitlements''. If it is agreed based on tradition to get paid #100 for being a Nigerian citizen, if I am a billionaire and I didn't get paid, don't blame me, If I lament. I'm entitled to it, I deserve to get it. It's so less to what I have as a fortune but my financial status should never be a reason why I shouldn't get mine. Besides, Nigeria has showed to be a corrupt country, they may have disbursed the money through the channel of the corrupt managers. Let them complain brother. It's their money, they deserve it.

I don't support assault of any type on ladies .. especially on menial and irrelevant offences

Of any type on humans not ladies. Saying ladies shows you're a sexist.
