Do not accept him. A man who has nothing cannot take care of you or your child. You may regret it. Wisdom is profitable to direct.
Do not let your sense of judgement be clouded by emotions. You cannot help him just as he can't help but be a burden to you at this time.

TravelRe: 800k A Month: Should I Travel To Canada? by doctimi(m): 5:15am On May 26, 2020
Hi Buddy,
I think you are doing well for yourself. People have earned more than that and still relocated albeit for different reasons.
I was earning lesser (about 8 mil per annum) when I relocated and I did for 3 reasons. Money for me was secondary.
1. I desire to have a passport that gives me access to at least 50-60 countries without the hassle of visa application.
2. I wanted some international education, work experience and exposure.
3. I'm single, so I considered it as an adventurous move, such that if it flop, I'll return and start my life again. Fear of the unknown can be a repressive tool

If the reason for relocation is to make more money, I won't say that's a flawed perspective. However, you just need to have some realistic expectation. I believe a lizard cannot be a crocodile in Manitoba. If you can make money in Nigeria, then you can make it else where. That said, other indices should also guide your decision.

Sometimes last year, I collapsed on the highway while driving due to some kidney issues. I was picked up by the paramedics and fixed like a broken machine around 2am and in 72hours, I was back up. I'm grateful to God for that experience. I can't say categorically that I could have survived such crisis if in Nigeria. I hope this simple story can help you make some informed decisions. I should also say, same way there are rich and poor peeps in Nigeria, so there are in Canada. It's not a perfect society, but it offers some sanity, opportunities and peace of mind. If our dear Nigeria offers that, lots of people will return.

On making more money.... I wish you well. Like the state of Florida, may your life be filled with sunshine.
EducationRe: IPPIS: FG Tells ASUU No Agency Must Oppose Payment System by doctimi(m): 8:22pm On Oct 25, 2019
Brilliant exposition, brother....
porka:
They are not talking about free education now.

They are talking of how to include earned income due to lecturers in a government payroll system called IPPIS. This system is a centralized automated payroll platform running on parameters of income earned.

The lecturers have issues with it because their peculiarity has not been considered. For instance, some lecturers go to other schools to teach on Sabbatical, as external examiners, part-time lecturers and so on. They have to be paid. Their payment currently is captured on the host university payment system.

The new system will not capture their work because the host university's authority to pay would have been transferred/ceded to the automated IPPIS sytem.

Now, government is not denying these earned income, they fully acknowledge them and the rights of the lecturers to earn them. But they are saying that IPPIS is so inflexible that those income would have to be paid through some other means.

Why can't they adjust IPPIS? If what they want to do is eliminate waste why introduce another means outside IPPIS to pay earned allowances? Is that not creating another avenue for waste and confusion?

Additionally, by the law of the Nigerian government itself, professors' retirement age is 70 years. But on IPPIS, retirement is pegged at 60 years of age or 35 years in service as applicable to the core civil service of which lecturing is not part. The lecturers are asking government to recognize that too as it concerns them. They have offered to help with the necessary adaptation on the system.

Do you get it up to that point?

Now, are you saying Harvard and MIT and Princeton universities' lecturers don't get paid? Or are you saying the lecturers don't have input in the reforms in those universities?

University in reality are not business centres. If they were, you would have seen Harvard and MIT listed on the New York Stock Exchange or Oxford and Cambridge on London Stock Exchange.

Much of the funding of Harvard is from generous endowments from its very successful alumni pool. For a school established in 1636 it is no surprise that it will outperform Nigerian schools in fund raising.'

Universities of Oxford and Cambridge are public universities which are still subsidized by the UK government. And they have complete autonomy - from government political influence etcetera. Much of their funding come from research grants.

Using tuition fee as a weeding tool to control access to education because of socalled run away population is defeatist. Such a strategy is flawed and potend danger for a country whose only successful products apart from oil and gas are the skilled human capital.

Going by trend and years of migrantion pattern, it is safe to say that more than 60% Nigerian migrants are university educated which enables them to quickly assimilate into their host countries and start earning income. Their annual remittances back into country is one the financial pillars still preventing the country from total collapse when all else is failing fiscally.

Nigeria is not the only country with big youth population desiring to have university education. India is successfully turning that particular challenge into a big advantage for their country.

EducationRe: University Admission Offer Vs Nigeria Air Force Recruitment Offer by doctimi(m): 5:33am On Mar 17, 2019
Please go to school. I turned such airman's offer after high school too. Completed my Engineering degree, applied as a short service commisioned officer. I turned that down too as i got a better offer with a top manufacturing company.

With the experience, I was able to leave the country. If I had remained an officer, I won't have been able to leave the country nor have the freedom to pursue other passion and interest. Be hopeful and believe. There will be light at the end of your education. I pray God's light shine on you so you can make the best decision. May fortune smile on you too. Goodluck
