UI is beautiful!!!


I kinda grew up inside UI.

I know the nooks and crannies. UI is more beautiful than these pictures depict. They even did some upgrading not long ago..like the car park close to the main gate.

I shop at the bookshop, pray in the mosque, had weddings, birthdays. schooled inside the premier..

Omoibadan ki ni so?

They said that eating the anus of a chiken would make you an olofofo(gossip). There was a lady whom everyone said was a gossip because of what she ate.

I never ate it even though I don't believe the superstition.

lynpetra:

I also remembered the ororo I bottle in an empty lip gloss kpangolo during hamattan .I remembered the long plaited sungass(hope that's d name),my mom wud plait me,my worst fear always reserved at the final part where she wud bend it down.It hurts like hell.Remembered cutting my hair with her sewing scissor,and hide under the bed for hours.Remembered she nearly had an heart attack when she saw my hair ,remembered"who mess am,na ojo...." ,remembered my Christmas dress,the cap and the purse,the timeless rubber wristwatch,the alinco glasses and the Hausa perfume to match.Remembered my Bob Marley burnt with candle at the tip....Remembered the WWF's I did with my brother untop pee soaked bed!I use to be Hauk Hogan!
Remembered the bottle of fanta Chapman shared,how I wud add water to increase mine .

It was funny and sweet!
I still remember....

hahahha..very funny. See me picturing every of that

byvan: My friend uses Fair and white(pink container) on his 18month old baby,she has now switched to Swiss collagen.

That is bad. Talk to her about it, please. She can use sunscreens to keep their skin pretty but not bleach it

Wizeboy: You are right... Not everybody will want to marry somebody that is not up to his/her standard.

But my own opinion on this matter is that, some (underline the some) so-called Secondary School Leaver are always sometimes better than graduate in terms of behaviour, caring and responsible. Some graduate man always forced their wife to drop her career (I have seen that so many times). The problem is not been in whether he is educated or not; an a Man is egoistic, whether educated or not, he will still remain the same.

When you are advising now that, Nigeria graduate girls should NEVER marry non-graduate, have you consider that some of the so-called girl graduate might be sponsor by the guy that she must have education.

What we should just be praying for, is that, God should grant us our most compatible partner that we will be able to live happily for life. It is always better some times to have a very compatible non-graduate partner that has all the qualities we want and desire THAN a graduate that is irresponsible and incompatible.

MOREOVER, as a MUSLIM, I so much believe in Qadar (destiny); Almighty Allah already know and decree what everyone of us will be and what will befall us: "Verily, We have created all things with Qadar [Divine Preordainments of all things before their creation, as written in the Book of Decrees Al-Lawh Al-Mahfûz].(Surat al-Qamar, 49)".

We should however just always pray for the best... We know what is good for us BUT Almighty Allah know what is BEST for us.

Maa Salam

I get your point. Amin.

Antiseptic soaps are not the best. In fact, if you don't have a medical condition nor exposed to germs, you should not use one.


I use dove cream wash because of its moisturising action plus it is found everywhere.

yellowpawpaw: Byvan, ur head dey there!

U r absolutely correct.
My son's creche requested for his picture for the school calendar not long ago.
When we used to go to the clinic, they will always use him as an example when teaching nursing mums.
Its about ur style not ur pocket.

Even with d money, u won't know d right thing to do!

Is your baby light skinned? yellowpawpaw?

byvan: No wonder some mothers are bleaching their babies in name of making them Aje.

illiterates or money miss roaders.

Maybe Op did not need to use the word, Ajebutter.

The image of an ajebutter is an Obese, spoilt brat, unable to do anything for themselves. It is not ideal. But I doubt that is what you want.

I remember a family who got rich by government mistake . New money in action, Their weekend was incomplete without a time at Mr. Biggs or any of the junk selling eateries. The children got begged to finish their daily meals filled with all kinds of meat. It was an unhealthy life. Of course, they Were fat. And could speak English because they attended good schools but were very dumb.

@Op my advice to you is to spend the extra money you may have on extra curricular activities for the Children. Let them learn to swim, or play other sports. Save the rest.


You don't need the overly expensive schools. You can however live in a posh area. It is still better to live where you are considered rich than live among the rich and be the poorest. Your Children's self esteem, if not yours joined with it may be affected.

very funny.

someone stole my line!!!

Feed them butter!!

zaynilabideen: of course i'm not saying we should or must. What i'm trying to say if we happen to find ourselves in such situations we should not reject them.

We can if we want to. Nothing says we should not reject them..we have a choice in this.

The prophet also married someone younger and richer and beautiful.

Whatever you decide to do is still Sunnah.

busar: PLEASE DEFINE EDUCATION. You can't tell me that someone that studies Shariah or tauheed in university of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Sudan etc but couldn't express himself/herself in English isn't educated? What's your definition for EDUCATION?

No one said that. No one claims English speaking equals Education.

Many dumb peole speak English.

am33rah: Like deols said, how many bill gates do we have? Over 90percent of the people in the world don't know who they really are, not to talk of having a bearing. imagine that number... Most people have to go through the conventional trainings like universities, before they can even be aware of the world around them. Though we may have exceptional people that are geniuses, I don't think I will marry a school cert holder except I meet such a genius. The fact that someone couldn't go as far as secondary school for their education, when its not like they are geniuses or trying to sacrifise for other peoples lives and living, then I don't see a reason to be with that person. Even Islam makes seeking knowledge compulsory on us. The world is dynamic, why should I be with someone with a rigid non inquisitive mind? Exceptions to this rule already have extraordinary minds with extraordinary bearings, and trust me, they are quite few.

I just dislike it when people start to talk of Bill gates. So, they will stop going to school and expect to be auccessful like Bill gates. For every Bill gate, there is a million touts on the streets.

Wizeboy: I am not talking about been rich, the list of people i mentioned up there are not only rich but are great inventors, innovators and technocrats in their field.

I agree with your point BECAUSE you have change University to education, which is what I mainly explain in my post. Education is very essential in life (either formal or informal). Both formal or informal education can expose people to act intelligently. What I simply explain in my post is that, is not only University that can make people expose, intelligent or civilized but other form of education can also do that.

I agree that in marriage you need to have somebody who share your view and idea BUT somethings, been educated does not mean the person will share your view because he/she might have his/her own ideology. There has always been so many criticism to different ideology among the so-called great scholars too.

The most important prayer is that, Almighty Allah should give us the spouse who will be the bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh. We should however, not forget that what makes any marriage works longer is COMPROMISE!

Almighty Allah will guide us aright (Amen)!

Agreed. Education is what matters and a mind open to probe and ready to learn new things.

But who else does not know that a University is where you get the better Education, where Nigeria is concerned.

Education is what matters but I used University in the context of a woman who also had that kind of education. She would need a man that much educated or exposed.

and when you mentioned China and what have you, it is still like talking about the pepper seller or the mechanic. The mechanic can do well in his field but that does not make him someone a graduate would be comfortable with.

It may happen in other places that people well educated marry non educated people, but I will never encourage it in a Nigeria filled with egoistic men. Before you know it, he is drawing her back and making her drop her career for flimsy excuses.

zaynilabideen: i guess if you read over again from ur earlier post, you'll get the gist.

If I got the gist, I would not have asked you to explain what you mean.

You mentioned age..should we, ladies marry men younger than us because Khadija was older?




and marry an illiterate because the prophet was unlettered?

we should also seek men we are richer than??

explain what you mean

busar: There are some doctors that doesn't allow it to be given to their children. It’s controversial.
Please define what you meant as being educated.

Who are those doctors? maybe trained on their street? or tradutional ones??

and what is those doctors' reason?

@wizeboy, don't confuse things. There is a difference between being financially successful and being educated. No one says both are the same. In fact, meat and pepper sellers in Nigeria are rich. That does not make pepper selling ideal or a meat seller the ideal man.

Education is about exposure and thought process. For marriage, you need to have people who can share your view or idea of life with you so that you don't have problems.

Note that I wrote that a secondary school certificate holder who reads books is better than the ones who don't.

Mentioning Bill Gates as an example. How many Bill Gates's exist?? and do you know if he reads? or employs people who are well read?? Money is not what I am talking about actually, I am talking about education making a difference in your quality of life.

Call my mum. Nothing beats that

His income is actually reasonable.

Not many people earn that much in Nigeria.

I wish you the best, Op.

zaynilabideen: the differences i noticed are
*age
*education
*financial capacity

You have not elaborated.

lomaxx: Funny thread here.

Anywhere "doctor" is mentioned on NairaLand, you notice a familiar inflammatory response by a set of phagocytic nairalanders. [who have sworn blood-oaths(literally) to despise the profession].


But who cares? :/

The topic was about women and doctors- some of una dey here dey yan pata-pata.

I live in an estate with variety of health professionals(doctors, laboratory scientists, pharmacists etc).... and I enjoy a good relationship with most of them. But over here, everybody claims to be a doctor.

Anything for the ladies

Some Phagocytic nairalanders Who commited apoptosis??

I will rather have them apoptotic while the doctors do the phagocytosis

yellowpawpaw: Good morning house!

Positivity is d key!
We thank God for everything.

Cdamsel,

Never took it serious until I married.

All my fellow dudes, keep rolling out d dollars! We need em' plenty!
But spend wisely o!

Good morning YPP.

How is the weather treating you? I hope you have been staying warm

zaynilabideen: i understand your point blessed sister. But we must remember the kind of differences that were there @ the time rasulullah (saw)got married to khadijat (ra)

what kind of difference was that?

[quote author=tpia@]Profession does not automatically mean compatibility though.[/quote]You are right. I was only playing to the gallery.

Generally speaking, intelligence is attractive. If you meet a 'good' doctor with good looks, hmmmn

It does not mean compatibility though or I'd be married to one already

Education does have evrything to add to whom you are. How can you compare a secondary school leaver to a University graduate?

Maybe the bad state of the Nigerian Education system makes people think this way.

No matter how intelligent you are as you graduate secondary school, every form of education you add to it makes you more intelligent, better at solving issues, seeing the world differently, etc.

Even the prophet asked us to 'learn from cradle to grave'.

Knowledge can NEVER be overestimated. It is what you should continue to struggle for.

Except that that secondary school leaver buys books and reads, he can never be compared with someone who went further. Something else that comes with university education is responsibility, leadership, team work, competition. You get drilled and exposed to all forms of tiring exercises that prepare you for all kinds of hardship.

Now imagine being married to someone who is intellectually sub par. How will you not argue all the time?

I remember hearing long ago about some brothers who would not allow their Children to be vaccinated. They said the west was injecting them to control population. Imagine being married to someone like that and putting your children at risk of polio and what have you...

zaynilabideen: brothers and sisters i thought we have our yardstick for selecting partners. Everyone of us knows it but this is just a reminder, its one of the hadith of the holy prophet (SAW) that says something like "women are married for four reasons
*religion
*beauty
*wealth
*family
but if you want to marry, get married to the religious one."
basically we should make the religious one our top most priority.

That is good admonition. But you need to be compatible with your religious spouse in some other aspects for it to work.

Fulaman198: Could you marry a non-Yoruba man?

I don't think so.

I prefer to marry a Yoruba man. Culture plays a big role in marriage. I would not want to deal with the complications that are associated with ethnic differences.

mega f: we are likeminded sis, since d days of preclinicals wen I started dissecting cadavas to d clinical days wen my snr colleagues were doing v..aginal examination, and even to ds moment since I started practicing, I neva wanted to marry a doc because I cant just imagine marrying a man who sees everything in other various ladies everyday, abeg,I no fit marry a doc o...tk God my man no be doc sha

So you never did a scrotal exam?? and never checked for hernias??

Doctors are trained to be professional about these things. It is not even about whether your patient is male or female. You are simply a doctor

Aminat508: I hates doctors, they re very flirts, can't even date one talkless of getting marry wit one...awon oloriburuku oloshi..mtchewww

Are you a nurse?

#justasking

Op is right. Add good looks to it and you find your perfect man.

Male Doctors rock

am33rah: I know of a lady; a graduate, that married a secondary school cert.holder. Sisters, can you do that?

No. I can't do that. She probably has her reasons. Who knows, he may be a very good person or she may have her own deficiencies.

Oyel money doing wonders.

They even get paid to go to school in Qatar.


What does nija have to show for our own Oyel money?
