A friend of mine just got called for a diamond bank aptitude test but the guy has reached the interview stage of a multinational oil firm,

the guy wants to know what the salary scale for newly employed bankers would be like even though he is very aware that oil companies pay much higher, he isnt a very big fan of field engineering[ oil industry people should understand this] since that is the position he applied for, going 2 months offshore and spending one month at home doesnt seem attractive to him

thanks house

pls house what is the meaning of FCSC,

DO U GUYS MEAN FRSC

@op, it depends on what u are after


if its marriage then just be urself and dont play the game of hard to get

it also depends on what u describe as hard to get, being snobbish isnt playing hard to get its just being plain childish
i know some girls who because of their snobbish attitudes when they were in skul lost potential friends and soulmates, and after it all they got deflated and came down to earth and became the cheap ones

sadi78: Which yardstick you used in rating this Governors?
Kano state Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso must be among the top 5 governors in Nigeria!
In only 1 year in office he executed many project like:-
1-Northwest University
2- Informatic institute
3- School of Nursing and Midwifery
4- 400 new upstairs block in primary schools
5- 5km road in every 44 local govt. In kano
6- free uniform, books and feeding of primary school pupils
7- 10 new institutes in kano like Animal health care, hotel management, health tech, reformatic institutes
8- 3 overhead bridges
9- 3 brand new villages named kwankwasiyya,amana, bandak villages
10- increase in internal revenue from N500M to N2billion.

did kwankwaso really achieve these things, are the projects completed, if they are then that is good but boko haram has almost condemned kano

thank u rossike for ur intelligent post, dont mind this people on nl

and as for the person asking for recent inventions in the last 1000 years u dont understand that ur knowledge of the past gives u the confidence and the self esteem to handle the present

kadarva: Hi all

Thanks for your replies. Haven't got much time to reply to all of u now but will have more time Thu day or friday.

One thing I want to make clear: I am divorcing my husband because he is sending money to his family whilst he cannot afford to. Although I work part-time I pay nearly all the bills and the mortgage!! This has been going on for about 2 years. The only thing he pays for is food shopping. Now tell me which woman will put up with that crap?

He cannot even buy his kids clothes or toys. Everything has to come out of my pocket, whilst he is spending everything on his family.

I WOOUL NOT MIND THAT IF WE HAD THE MONEY BUT WE DON'T

so you actually think that if he desists from this character of his that there wont be another mind boggling problem that wld almost drive u to the edge in your marriage, think again my dear, in your statement u neva talked of coming up with a solution,

i guess the easy way out is always the best

this is what happens when western laws of equal rights even among minors and kids make people to get away with anything they feel like doing, no discipline, no moral obligation, just an obligation to ur immediate and strongest feelings

but dont feel bad, u are rest assured that there are at least thousands of women taking the decision u are taking now, they can welcome u to the world of divorce [ A ROLLER COASTER WORLD WITH NO ASSURANCE AND COMMITTMENT, JUST THE EASY WAY OUT ALWAYS]

so my guy obodo no actually pay ransom, thats good for him

Going by what 1forall has posted above, this reply of yours makes no sense as you just went round in circles, beatin around the bush and have refused to address the valid points he raised above. I remember telling you to stop generalizing and calling yoruba's name. Now that the OP wants out you are calling her all sorts of name.

o girl u relax nah, wetin u dey worry me for, i came at the beginning of the thread thinking it was just a i need-help-for-my-motherinlaw thread, but look what it has turned into
to be frank, i just stumbled onto this thread yesterday and it looked like all the similar threads where foreign women complain about nigerian men and lament on how it shld be coming to an end anytime soon, i guess i forgot it was the same girl i gave advice some months ago
even if it wasnt her the fact is that my so called insensitive judgement stands true for all interracial relationships with nigerian men[especially white women]
so tell me, was i wrong with my assesment?
am sure right now, there is another foreign woman falling madly in love with a nigerian man right now but we all know that 9 times out of 10 it wld end exactly like this

u cantt come into a marriage with a cinderella mindset looking for a prince who wld always say nice things to u and give u joy happily ever after, marriage is first about commitment then sacrifice

right now, there are many nigerian women going through worse situations than this and they still endure, u might say it is as a result of nigerian law not being favorable to women but it is still good like that because it is no longer about her but about the kids and family now, if our mothers behaved like her we wld all have been born into broken single parent homes. so my dear i cant have any good thing to say to an uncommitted person who has just sentenced her children to a life of not relating or getting to know their parents more

i think its high time guys take on the stance of mynd 44, why endure so much insult from a girl

the fact is that, if i am looking for sex and u dont call me back, no wahala since what i want is specific but immediately i hv u where i want it wld be over, i wld only call u then when i want us to get the freak on and they neva say no when u hv entered jerusalem before

if i want a serious relationship with u and u dont call back then u arent worth the effort period

Now that she has decided to get a divorce (with her reasons), all of a sudden you are attacking the OP and suggesting its her fault? Why do you sound like you have something against foreigners marrying Nigerians? You must be toeing the same line as her husband to have come back so abrasively or simply a VERY confused individual. Best to seek help before its too late.

when she started the thread, did she talk about the problem possibly leading to an end in her marriage,
from mother-in-law problems to full divorce, all in 3 months and u think that is normal, what will happen to her kids
she came here seeking for advice on how to manage her home with her husband's in-laws draining them financially, she didnt state that she was contemplating divorce so i gave her my 2 cents on the issue

and why have u been supporting her, i hope ur not that white dude in ur profile pic,
if she has issues with him, its not my fault, i didnt force her to go out of her way to marry a nigerian, she should have stuck to her own race if they were so perfect,now that she is calling it quits, who gets the blame as usual - THE NIGERIAN MAN,

kadarva: Update: I have decided to divorce my husband due to cultural differences....I just cannot live with somebody that sends all his wages to his family and let me and the kids suffer. My husband is not happy this but I have already made my decision.

this my dear is the destiny of every foreigner[ especially white married to a nigerian]
sorry to say but u are a weak woman, if u like whine about how insensitive and wicked we nigerians are and how insensitive my post is
the problem with u people is that u do not value the institution of marriage and u neva valued it right from the start, u just wanted somebody to make u feel good always and live in a fantasy world without sacrificing, soory but u are to individualistic
come back here when u are finally married to mr.right, maybe that wld be in 10yrs time when u wld have divorced like 3 more men

A NATO airstrike in the eastern Afghan province of Logar has killed 17 people, including women and children, local officials report. A NATO spokesperson said a team had been deployed to investigate the claims of civilian casualties.

Afghan authorities say the pre-dawn attack aimed at militants in the area hit a wedding. An AP photographer at the scene reported seeing the bodies of five women, seven children and six men piled in vans. AFP news agency also released a photo with victims piled into the back of a vehicle.

Local villagers are now reportedly driving the bodies to the capital of Logar province to protest the NATO strike which they say hit a house in the district of Baraki Barak.

NATO says it has received no reports of civilians killed in the pre-dawn operation targeting a Taliban leader.

ISAF released a statement, confirming a pre-dawn operation aimed at the capture of a Taliban leader in Logar.

"During the operation, insurgents attacked the Afghan and coalition troops with small-arms fire and a grenade," said the NATO statement.

In response, alliance forces “returned fire and requested a precision airstrike."

Al-Jazeera reports that the airstrike targeted the house of a tribal elder in Baraki Barak, killing him and 16 members of his family. It makes no mention of the strike hitting a wedding, but says that six Taliban fighters who were close by were also killed.

­Meanwhile, multiple blasts killed 22 people and wounded at least 50 others as three suicide bombers blew themselves up in the southern city of Kandahar on Wednesday.

One bomber detonated a three-wheeled motorbike filled with explosives, police said. Then, as people rushed to assist the wounded, two other bombers walked up to the scene and blew themselves up.

The attack took place about five kilometers from the main gate of a massive military installation run by NATO, and some 500 meters from an Afghan military base.

The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the bombings.

Civilian casualties mounting

Reports of NATO actions in Afghanistan causing civilian casualties are not rare. In the end of May, local officials from the eastern province of Paktia claimed that a coalition strike killed an Afghan family, including six children.

In February Afghan President Hamid Karzai accused NATO of killing seven children in a strike in the north-east of the country.

The casualties, however, do not always come from air strikes. In March an alleged shooting rampage by a NATO soldier resulted in 17 civilian deaths in the province of Kandahar. Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, who was accused of the massacre, was whisked out of the country to a US detention center.

Civilian deaths resulting from US-led coalition actions have been a bone of contention in Afghanistan for quite some time. Karzai has regularly condemned such events, saying the strategic partnership is meaningless if the lives of Afghan people are not safe.

Last year saw more than 3,000 Afghan civilians killed in violence according to a UN report. The document attributed 14 per cent of these deaths to actions by international and Afghan troops.

lets say caucasoid means all middle eastern, european people not including our far east asians[chinese etc]
negroid meaning all black people from ethiopians [horners] down to subsaharan african people chikena

this question has been a controversial hot debate over the last century,
i would like to know ur opinions [ especially pple with proof], which race do u think the ancient egyptians belonged to, were they fully caucasian with a slave negroid element? were they fully negroid with a caucasian minority? or where they equally mixed?

when i say ancient egyptians, i dont mean the egyptians of 1500 years ago till today who were conquered by the arabs and have arabic blood in them, i also dont mean the egyptians of alexander the great's era [ the ptolemy's]
i mean the ancient kemetians who built the great pyramids and did all the wonderful things that attract tourists today, i mean those who started the civilization, just the same way the people who started the british empire and nations are of the caucasiod nordic race even though there are many mulattoes and blacks in UK
please Nlers give me answers

Immortality as a goal in today’s world has not necessarily been erased as science have and is still finding means in which to prolong human life besides wouldn’t immortality (in our current physical state) allow for specific gods to be made redundant?
Thus does not immortality betray a god-complex?

the goal of the ancient egyptians wasnt to make themselves immortal, they were already fully convinced abt life after death and they seemed to have a vivid mental picture of what it was like unlike our modern day scientists who still grapple with the fact that there is life after death, modern scientists trying to prolong human life do so because they want immortality in this physical realm and hv this fear of the unknown[ life after death],

while ancient egyptians did not mummify their corpses or build pyramids in order to prolong life, they already knew and were wholly convinced that their ancestors and deceased were living in the after life and they performed this wonderful feats in order to appease and show respect to their ancestors whom they believed were watching


its just similar to you moving on with your life and leaving your parents house, ur parents might want to keep ur stuff intact or just show respect to ur favorite items and ur younger siblings wouldnt want to mess up and do things u abhor even if u r absent because they know u will find out and u wouldnt like it, this my dear was the perspective of the ancient egyptians

[i][b]This is rather interesting...but should pleasing a deity be a prime aim? I ask because what if particular deities do not want their subjects to acquire certain knowledge?...is this part of the face-off between science and religion – wanting to know more than what some systems permit?
Thus maybe it depends on the type of belief systems – for example worshiping a deity or belonging to a system that encourages more awareness of the science of the universe as opposed to adhering to a system that shuns discovery thus only serving to be an inhibitor and concealer of knowledge and science. As such some may lose faith in all belief systems and shun any notions of spirituality altogether but there are imitations which may cause some to render spirituality as a myth or blind.

But I can agree that Ancient Egypt (which is a good example) allowed for spirituality to be relevant in their sciences and perhaps were even better for it.
Spirituality is diverse and so is science – well at least the way in which one perceives the sciences – Ancient Egyptians for example.

I believe science and spirituality can have a relationship that is mutualistic but when one tries to eclipse the other or tries to make the other redundant I believe the result can be negative but more dangerous if it’s spirituality demoting science than the other way around in my opinion.

But I do wonder how are the both coupled if spirituality is subjective whereby some spirituality even contradicts each other... wouldn't that thus effect how science is understood by some individuals with a spiritual inclination?
[/b]
ur concern on this matter is understandable, but u have to understand that spirituality is so vast that no school of thought or religion seems to grab it all

to understand the terms spirituality and science better, let me give u an example
imagine going to bed and waking up in a place quite different from ur home or ur environment, just imagine waking up in a garden or forest where everything seems to be available for u, everything like water, food and imagine having some new desires in that new world of yours, desires which are easily fulfilled, what would be the first thing u wld think upon getting there? simple- who brought me here and why did you bring me here, being in that type of pseudoworld, u wld know that the purpose of ur appearing there is beyond u and u either get to know who is responsible and love the person for that or hate him for that

being in such a world, everything u do wld be done with the beginning and the end in perspective, the beginning being ur arrival there and the end which wld be finding the answers u seek and where u are supposed to go, this perspective is what we know as spirituality, religion is as a result of this perspective but it operates on a man made set of rules which the adherents believe wld please their creator, science is just the usage of the gifts u have to enjoy ur life and to surmount whateva challenges u face, science is put in a greater perspective when one desires to know the beginning and the end and when one understands that he or she is here for a reason, if the motive of science is just honor or a nobel award then it wont be that powerful, if the motive for science is actually to find the beginning and the end, then that is noble and i believe many scientists have the latter as a motive for their work but modern day science has a little problem, they want to discover everything without believing there actually was a conscientious decision to create life and existence [ simply put, they dont believe in GOD


Engineer, do you think science is limited without spirituality? Or maybe even less partial as spirituality is subjective? And do you think spirituality is empty without science?

P.S. Religion is different to spirituality but I believe the modern man has somehow conflated the two terms.
[/i]

science is limited without spirituality but the average eye cant see that,maybe because we are overwhelmed by such modern inventions that we now think we are gods, come to think of it, diseases are still killing people even though better medicare is available, we still face many other problems in life. and the most important thing is that we havent really reached the height of true civilization which in reality is just being able to live in peace and love with ur neighbor not building 200 storey buildings and sending men to the moon as we all think

my above statement might raise the thought in ur mind, " but humanity is at its greatest height ever"
well think what wld have happened if the ancient kemetians carried their scientific spiritual campaign on till date, if it wasnt for complacency that set in and allowed other nations to conquer them, the egyptians wld have been living in mars by now, it might sound like an extreme analysis but just think of it,

5000 years ago, people performed brain surgery, pharoah menes diverted the course of the nile something that baffled hydraulic engineers as late as 1905, sculptures were made with such incredible artistry and realism, feminine cosmetics as profound as modern day ones were used, mighty temples were built
even the medieval world [4000 years later] didnt surpass their standard of living, then imagine that scientific spiritual campaign continuing for 1000, 2000,3000,4000 years and see the height we wld have reached

true spirituality cant exist without science because true spirituality embraces every thing on earth, from our innate desire to know to every natural and mineral resource, but ask urself,how many religions have embraced true spirituality
people make the mistake of equating spirituality with institutions such as the medieval catholic church and some other religious institutions, the reality is that spirituality has not been fully achieved, even some trusted and notable spiritual men still let their own insecurities impede their thinking process

what will u say abt the ancient arochukwu shrine, it was so powerful that northern emirs in precolonial nigeria said that 'God lives there', but the arochukwu people were involved in killing of twins, do you think that God wanted such, they believed that twins were for animals only and any twin shld be taken to the forest so the aniimals can take them back, in my own village pythons are not killed, there are so many taboos in different societies but in reality those taboos stem out of a lack of understanding of some things and most importantly they stem out of one of the greatest obstacles of spirituality which is RELIGION [i hope u arent confused, but that is the truth]. let me live u with a quote " the earth is the Lord's and its fullness thereof"

@martian, oops I forgot I was in the religion section of nairaland or shld I say the antireligion section. I wld get back to you later
