TheUndercover: The use of social media and portrayal of romantic movies has made the statistics go higher. Myths like love at first sight, the soul mate, the special one was made real using these medium.
In this current age, a typical 15-20 years old girl might be dating 3 guys and they won't ever find out. It's crazy. The lack of regulations of these medium and irresponsible parents is also one of the leading causes of this common trend.
Change is the only constant.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, are all part of the "change package".
Ynix: It's normal, na puberty dey cause am, just that they need proper orientation and guidance. I see nothing wrong in a teenager falling in love, all that matters is that the paradigm of boundaries be taught and followed. Also the need to checkmate negative peer pressures for them. For me I never had a girl friend all my teenage days because I was way ahead of those things.
Way ahead, or you were too chicken to speak to your crush....
inspire700: This video here shows moments when a man's car was bashed by a reckless driving, "Learner" of an alleged Yahoo Boy in Benin city Nigeria.
The Man who was bittered could be heard reiterating his ordeal with reckless driving of these young boys who don't know how to drive but keep hitting the road with their new flashy cars.
According to him, he has lost two cars so far in the same manner within 2 months. He is currently spending over N400,000 (Naira) on another car of his that was bashed by a reckless driving Yahoo boy in Benin City.
Ofadaman: Nobody pays that high amount of money to learn an IT skill anymore unless you're looking for certificates.
There are enormous free videos, programs , study material, YouTube open class (from top universities like MIT ), that give you that opportunity, the only thing you need is your own dedication and commitment to practice.
This CompTIA or whatever you call it, doesn't define you as an IT expert. These days, people have git profile, learn skills, attend seminars ,join groups on Reddit and discord, listen to podcast and videos and seeks out scholarship online and study and practice really hard on projects and they are doing very very much better than folks who go out seeking for certificate. My two cents
Discipline is a scarce commodity nowadays.
Nothing announces you faster than that your "project portfolio" on open source platforms like github.
And Youtube University? That is God's gift to the underprivileged.
Teebrainy: I have a final interview for the role of a IT Support with UBA IT Team tomorrow, please can anyone give me headlights as to how their interviews are or the likely interview questions.
lyricaldaboss: See levels See passing See speed See finishing I think the world cup next year should be between Europe and South America, Africa can stay home and watch. We are not on this level
It has always been between Europe and South America.
bentenny: Not at all...honestly, I can less! ….that's you trying to win an argument from your highly limited layman's viewpoint which i find hilarious!
If you really did a holistic research(which i doubt for an individual lower than a layman's ability) like you claimed, you would understand their relationship explicitly but alas after agreeing to my validation of revenue being generated by the increment in viewership, the pride in you could not hide arguing further thereby exposing your folly!
The very best! I smell envy! Hope your hands weren't sweating or tears flowing when you were typing that trash?
At least I'm a barrel with the hope of being filled, you are basically nothing! What a pathetic situation!
Not Surprised that you have nothing to offer from that empty encephalon that your shoulder carries in discomfort? Well i totally agree!
I really do not need all this attention, but thank you.
As a silent reader here, I'm once in a while compelled to call out "bvllshit" especially from those who "think they know, but do not know" and worse still, "do not know that they do not know".
Eat some humble pie, and go and hone your craft if indeed you want to go far in your career.
bentenny: I find no use arguing with you after you indirectly validated my points earlier! My Pride hurt? You must be high on something strong this morning! Is there a crown to be won for winning an argument here?
Seems you need the win for your bruised ego.
Do a little research on SPONSORS and GENERIC ADS and PROGRAMMING in Nigeria.
bentenny: Why are some of you too languorous or nescient to make a simple finding for something that is basic knowledge in the media world?
More viewers means more money for the TV station and the show! I stand to be corrected!
More traffic in terms of views breeds more sponsors to the TV show! Its a fact...make your research and stop relying on your limited layman's opinions!
At least you finally agreed that enhanced viewership of a show would increase sales for the sponsors and the tv show which i had been saying abintio but you just felt like arguing unnecessarily!
A layman who doesn't know and refuses to know will wallow in his indiscretion!
What is obtainable here in terms of 'cablecasting' is the same in other countries like america...so stop using that as a rickety excuse!
Communicate with simple grammar.
No new sponsor enters this week because of L and E hence no new revenue.
I know your pride will not let you sit this one out.
bentenny: Lol Absolutely not...! What will be my gain?
If indeed you read without emotions,you will see where I carefully specified why I believed there will be an increase in viewership due to the showdown between laycon and Erica....and let's be frank,its not just them,there are other showdowns next week that will involve nengi,kidwaya,vee and other HMs that Erica had altercations with @ the house!
Check the stats by monday....you will notice an increase in viewers! The more the viewers,the more monies the main sponsors and the TV station share! Revenue keep increasing as a result of more viewers per episode!
....And no Doc I ain't no fan of any HMs.....I just simply enjoy the show!
Nice one...Its cool to see you have admitted though indirectly that an increase in viewership also gives value to the sponsors and also creates more airtime space for other sponsors to join! Even if the main sponsors had already signed with the TV station,more new sponsors will come in when they notice a spike in viewers for that TV show!
If you had been less emotional and objective,a simple research on google would have enabled you comprehend this simple concept of money making in the media world before and during the TV show!
You have said plenty, but nothing a layman doesn't know already.
Sponsors vs generic ads
Show has sponsors already, no new ads allowed.
No extra cash for dstv.
Increased viewers "increase" sales for the "sponsors" which is why they are sponsors.
bentenny: Like i said to the other guy i mentioned,make your findings so that we avoid these futile drags....its unintelligent to others! I work at a media platform so i understand how shows make their money which also includes traffics from viewers and more new sponsors! Did you see ABEG as a main sponsor for BBN last season? copied: In addition,there is advertisement revenue. As ratings go up, that means more people tune in to watch which makes commercials selling products more valuable. Networks sell that ad space and the higher the ad revenue, the higher the contract negotiated and renegotiated with the show and the network.
Mr Media Guru Sir, This is not America.
The value of the clash between E and L has long been established before the start of the reunion and interested sponsors (which we all know) have paid for their advert slots. So it's there luck if more viewers tune iin or otherwise this week.
bentenny: This is no capping...find out! Its not free! Do you know how shows like BBN make their monies through media platforms like DSTV? Do you think they only make their money by votes? Do you know a show can also make more if there is traffic from viewers on cable TV? There is also sponsors like Abeg,airtel,Hawaii soap,Guiness,Tecno and so much more...Its not about Votes ohh If you are in doubt,simply make a search....No need for too much dragging!
They have their contracts with sponsors already.
Nothing additional to be made next week because of E vs L.
shogsman: I will never understand why grown men and women waste Thier valuable time on this crap,it never did resonate with me trust me I tried,it always looks like a waste of time watching a bunch of unintelligent handpicked bonehead sit In a damn room and chatter unrelentlessly.almost 11,000 pages of discussing this crap,I suppose our youths are indeed lazy after all. I await your insults and criticism galahs
hedonido: When some of you unfortunate elements repeat this baseless and unverified "treasurer of Mobil Nigeria" rubbish, I feel like slapping sense into you. Is Mobil a thrift society or does Mobil look like your village town union? Treasurer as per who or what?
I could see director Guy Ritchie jostling through pages, brainstorming with his colleagues, perhaps going to the countryside to get inspiration and ideas. From the script, he knows it's just another cliched action thriller but he wants to make it better. And it is better!
The non-linear plot, tense continuous foreboding score and light militarized actions are all admirable efforts to refine the raw material.
Josh Hartnett was a welcome face.
Josh Hartnett!
You know, I thought he looked vaguely familiar in the movie, just could not recollect.
Please i really need your sincere advice concerning my relationship, we have been dating for the past two years, but honestly speaking i am not enjoying the relationship, i dont know what is wrong with my man, at times, he would travel for three month without giving me any notice, and throughout that time, his number will be switch off, for the past two years that we have started dating, he has done that for over 5times, and i am getting confuse if i am not in the wrong hand, he wouldnt give me any good excuse and i am getting fed up with him, i dont want to break up with him all because we have gone a long way, but with his attitude, i dont think i can cope again, time is going...
Please i want the whole house to advice me because i dont know how to cope again, he has gone again and dont knw when he will be coming back.
A movie about two black people on the run after killing a cop in self defense
Loved how they took a turn from the normal clichés of racism movies and added a bit of thriller to it. Tho, I don't get why they had to make things so easy for the main characters by making them have the support of almost everyone they came across
EricaNyash: You dey ask me wetin b the big deal to work fo oil and gas company? No be you carry your mouth boast for here sey you dey work for oil and gas?
If E no be big deal, wetin make poverty of the mind make you to use am boast?
You see your life inside basket? So all of a sudden no be big deal because I don expose your real hustle.. You be the most confus she.male wey I don see...
Cause your child is that dumb that they won't watch it elsewhere ... Wetin unah dey gain for the bbn ameebo self and they wonder where the real men went .
You can't blame your neighbors if you cannot keep your kids in check.
Franzinni: and we wonder how baba ijeshas are manufactured...
It's only sad that kids will get to watch the show of shame and pick one or two things from it ...then tomorow when they act it out we begin seek spiritual solution ...
Orimado: You definitely don’t use your brain lobes correctly, just imagine this cancerous statement, I dare say you aren’t successful in any way shape or form, you live for people but are living hand to mouth
....I've had a similar encounter which im inundated to share . I grew up in a loving family tbh there wasn't a case of tyranny or blackmail ,my parents just try to give you enough reasons why you should do certain things until you run out of arguments to buttress why you don't think their discisions is or was rather the right one
anyways I had passion for technical drawing during the course of secondary school ,I was one of the best students in that art form ,however my first jamb which I registered and had applied architecture was a disaster, although I could remember vividly we was in a friendly competition as to who would secure admission first coupled with the pressure of writing waec and neco
I think I discovered nairaland during that time because we scout the internet throughout the night with our illegal phones looking for who would send the waec expo ,shit was wild tbh
long story short after being shown the realities of the job market in nigeria and using alot of relatives as examples loooool ..I finally settled for medicine..im an average student ,that is to say I've to work hard befor I get good grades ...,not naturally high IQ for those who care about the neurological aspect ,thats what it is
wrote jamb 5 times and now I'm here ..did I regret studying med? ..never did, there are challenges but whatever it is ,it would be worth it .
the job market for medical sci graduate is wide and one does not have to be at the hospital everyday to have that fulfilment ,some of my seniors are now teachers in the dept . thing is medicine just propels you to a second class citizen immediately you graduate as far as ones parents would fully support them to study medicine I don't see reasons why they should refuse that offer ,shit is expensive anyway .
whatever you do in nigeria ..passion is never enough ,just do what works ,this isn't anyway deride people who have followed their passion and made it
there's always a percentage lads .
NB I didnt edit this ,time no dey!
Over-indulged and over-pampered kids who know nothing about life and what awaits them will soon come here with their "woke" arguments.
May we not bite our fingers in pain of regret.
I say, study the medicine, and afterwards go and pursue your passion later.
