If a person or a company can prove that there is sufficient material basis for “right-thinking” members of the society to infer that they are the object of a libelous newspaper innuendo, the paper is in the soup

Wow! I had to read that sentence three times before understanding...and yet, to some extent!

Victorious1:
But you know the saying; what works for one might not work for the other...

Wow. Interesting and noteworthy view!
#thumbs up#

I think it's not totally because of underachievement, relationships, prestige and the like. The most of it all boils down to African culture. In Yoruba-land, every adult is given a significant level of respect by every other adult (except their parents and older siblings). It doesn't necessarily matter if the adult is younger or older. Moreover, asking an adult for their age (from the Yoruba perspective) appears contemptous and wouldn't normally surface under a peaceful atmosphere.
The issue of age inquisition before marriage does not usually come up as the parents of the intending couple (key orchestrators) go on their own research. Information has its way of going around in their little communities those days so no need trying to hide anything.
African culture definitely has the greatest contribution to this.

Surfing the net is a waste of energy too....

Nairaland is a big example-- particularly without any specific purpose while having a mindset to relax. As I read the op, my thoughts went that way too because any time I go online to relax from some mental activity, I find out that I have to wait for some mind re-orientation together with deep breaths before I can get back to the activity. I also find that my head tends to be heavy after this supposed 'breaks'. I think just resting without thinking actively is OK.

University of Ibadan Admission list and transfer to another department is out call for assistance. +2347060703620

What will that number do for them that can be done on campus by oneself? Nonsense!

Wow. Quite some tension.

The leader of the Boko Haram terrorist group, Abubakar Shekau, has denied claims that the group had reached a ceasefire agreement had been reached with the Federal Government of Nigeria, insisting that the group will not negotiate.
In a new video released by the AFP, Shekau also said that the more than 200 girls kidnapped by the group six months ago from their school dormitory in Chibok had been “married off” to its fighters, contradicting Nigerian government claims they would soon be freed.
Nigeria’s military says it killed Shekau a year ago, and authorities said in September that they had also killed an imposter posing as him in videos. In the latest recording it is hard to see the man’s face as he was filmed from a distance.
But it is likely to raise grave doubts about whether talks between a Boko Haram faction and the government in neighboring Chad will secure the release of the girls, who were kidnapped from a secondary school in Chibok, northeast Nigeria, in April.
“We have married them off and they are all in their husbands’ houses,” the man claiming to be Shekau says.
“The over 200 Chibok girls have converted to Islam, which they confess is the best religion. Either their parents accept this and convert too or they can die.”
Majority of the kidnapped girls were Christians.
Denial Of Ceasefire
The man in the video also denied there was a ceasefire, and denounced Ahmadu Danladi, who says he represents Boko Haram in Chad.
“Who says we are dialoguing or discussing with anybody? Are you talking to yourselves? We don’t know anybody by the name of Danladi. If we meet him now we will cut off his head,” the man in the video says.
“All we are doing is slaughtering people with machetes and shooting people with guns … War is what we want.”
He also said that the group was holding a “white man”. The only known hostage seized in the northeast is a German teacher kidnapped from a college in the northeastern city of Gombe in July by gunmen widely assumed to be linked to Boko Haram.
Shekau’s denial of the ceasefire appears supported by the violence since the government announced it two weeks ago. It also raises doubts about the actual influence of Ahmadu.
For over five years the terrorist group demanding for an Islamic state and an end to western education has killed thousands.
The government had said that negotiations with the group is ongoing, but attacks have also continued despite the ceasefire agreement claims, with a car bomb, thought to have been planted by the Boko Haram sect killed at least 10 people at a crowded bus stop in Gombe on Friday morning.

Am graduate of chemistry education.

Thanks for showing corncern. I actually asked 'how is it?' with respect to life after school. I'm already a student.

I've not read a graduate's post here. Chemistry graduates (especially those on NL) obviously (from past experience in addition) aren't much enthusiastic OR don't want to comment on their course of study.
To graduates of Chemistry (any form) reading this: how really is it? Don't leave us in the dark.

I think this is more than being just nice. It's wow! Inspiration!
motivateU if you personally learnt those, then you must have gone through quite some things--and intelligently!

Getting more interesting post by post!

Wow!!! I haven't gone through either extreme sides of life --in our context. I'd have contributed.

Life... ever two sided!

bugativeron:
Some other people should share their experience in experiencing the other side of life. lol.

As in an experience of temporary unusual comfort by one used to relative difficulties?

This appears promising. Please continue as you've promised. I almost forgot that there's some other kind of life than the one I'm living. Sometimes, getting involved in something you're not used to (especially all your life) is some fun, too.

No answer?

I want to ask if a graduate without a first degree in Engineering but a 2nd (degree) can be COREN registered. Well-meaning responses will be appreciated.

kol1234:
No but maybe if another opening is up that goes in-line with your course.
You may drop the documents required

were you referring to my question?

CAN AN MSC HOLDER IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING APPLY?

Is it true the list is to be out today?

jossi994: Truthful answers please. No bashing or else Amadioha eye go enter the matter. Peace

This fellow is quite funny. You just called Amadioha and the next, you said 'peace'! Both aren't mutually inclusive. It's like threatenimg to invoke Lucifer and saying 'shalom'.
*smiles*

Nigerian politics...*grin*

By the way, why are we hearing all goodnews all of a sudden while 2015 draws nearer? If Boko Haram terrorists eventually release those girls during this season or thereabout, then for sure... THEY'RE BEHIND IT ALL.

I'm redirecting this question to everyone: Applying for jobs while doing an Msc: two questions. One, will the organisation one is applying to recognise the about-to-be-procured certificate? Two, in a case of, say 7 months before the completion of the degree at which one is offered the employment, will the employing organisation uphold the employment until the individual is through with their programme? Thanks for your responses, in advance.
