Who is guilty of 'tribalism' here?

Are you denying that there is a problem in Nigeria? Or have you forgotten the silly protest in Lagos earlier this year? The stupid comments from the royal idiot? Or the everyday comments that you hear in passing about Igbos?

The fact is there are people engaged in commerce in Nigeria, in a big way, doing so honestly but many would prefer to overlook their hard work - why is that?

Jencejyde:
Finally a thread where constructive criticism and display of intellectual wits abound. Reminds me of Nairaland back in the days.

I will just sit back, relax and follow...very interesting debates going on here..

mmsen:
There are Nigerian supermarkets all over the place but no one wants to make noise about them, especially as many are Igbo owned.

It's when the oyinbo come and promise something for nothing that clueless Nigerians get excited.

Nairalanders, I need mature and real people opinion here.

I am a banker, 32, married with two kids, boy and girl. My wife works with a MDA in abuja while I work out from Nassarawa. I rented a 2 bedroom flat for them in Lugbe, abuja while i visit every weekend. I love her and love the kids however I notice we dont agree on a lot of things, mostly financial matters. she prefer i spend all on her and her kids and whenevr i am broke, she will gladly lend me cash. I dont ve ish with that and i ve been enjoying it for years now. I cheat on her but i dont see it as cheating but rather caring for my emotional needs. I have talked her into coming to stay in lafia with me before but i noticed she is very comfortable with her job and i dont want to be the reason for career truncation/ dissatisfaction in her life.

i decide to live my life in my own way; strategically sleeping with other ladies as need be. recently, i asked my colleague out. a lady banker, same level. for 3 months now, we have been hot and i can no longer touch or tolerate my wife. my colleague recently took in for me but we took care of it. i am scared as she is madly in love with me and she is available. I am also madly in love with her. i am choosing her over my wife right now. how can I solve this.

Guys I love her, dont tell me to leave her. we enjoy sex together in a way I dont with my wife. Just give your honest opinion to help those that may find themselves in my place someday.

Thank u.

so you will let one miserable old man molest your daughter
you've get to be kidding me...

francizy:
It makes no sense to you but it does to me. I've been a victim of females sexual abuse and I know how it feels. It was a bit easy to get over it at the end, I didn't inherit an overwide butt hole and I didn't turn out gay!

The fact that my son may turn out gay after being fūcked by a bastard he goat makes me mad and that is one good reason why my kids will never attend a singles school or even boarding school by God's grace.

francizy:
as for me, I'll forgive a woman who molests my son but I'll never forgive a man who does same....

@topic,
Oby Ezekwesili is just a local bingo that barks all the time, with no single bite.
She's trying so hard to remain relevant. If she wants to help, she should take up the mantle of leadership, instead of making noise on the pages of Newspapers.

macpetrus:
Who is she?

Oby Ezekwesili should shut up. She was Minister of Education and Nigerian education was in tatters. She should hide her head in shame!!!!

nigerianvenom:
who is more shameless than ms oby?

A failed minister of education and a failed world bank director.
her only known achievement is her fling with obj.
shame on u madam oby.

MeAndYou:
SOYINKA SORRY! I was expecting you to spell it out as you have always done. But here you are speaking from both side of your mouth. Just remember that history will not only judge us for our actions only but for our inactions as well.

AirborneLacer:
If I were to be an employer, indicating your graduating GPA wouldn't have me thinking you're the man for the job.

Most students who graduated with high GPA especially in Nigeria actually bought their way through it hence using such criterion to filter job seekers would be unwittingly giving the job to the wrong person.

If you possess the required basic skills for a particular job and can ace your interview then you're good to go. Your GPA counts as nothing here.

Personally nothing beats having a successful internship. It enhances your chances of getting a job much faster than anyother feature.

geekybabe:
I arrange my resume/cv according to my strenghts. I dont follow any formats. I never put my Cgpa on my CV and I have been invited for a lot of interviews. If my GPA is not my strong point, why would i put it in the CV? I would be shooting myself in the leg if i did that.

These days, a lot of people have the so called high CGPA, and will not even perform well in interviews. Or maybe they dont even have the required skills for the role being advertised. I Know myself, and what I am capable of doing, and what my skills are. I have a couple of certifications, those are the things i place first in my CV. I always ace most of my interviews. Right now I am being faced with choices of which job to go for.

If you are even in the IT field like myself, recruiters will never ask you your CGPA. Its always about your skills. What you can do. What problems you can solve.

My Conclusion: IF your CGPA is not your strong point, you would only be shooting yourself in the leg if you put it in the CV. (Except it is specifically stated that you put it).

Ukeachu1:
the cgpa might count for notin. any reputable firm issues a highly competitive aptitude test for graduate employment. ur score in d test is definitely ur cgpa to them. who cares what ur trashy school gives u. so just pass the test first. make I no read about this issue again for here o. everyone is now a c.v expert.

Litmus:
Actually, an identity called Dario on Beegeagles blog declared a thought provoking post that challenges some of the negative views on Johnathan. I'm not sure whether posting his work on Nirland would cause offense or would have posted it.

I for one , I have got no friend and I have no regret in doing so , because in 3 separate occasions in the cause of my life existence so far , I have tried to have one , but in each of the occasions , it turned out that anyone you assumed to be a friend is literally the vicious person in ones life ... pretenders , hypocrites , perfidies , snitches , snoopers .

As the saying goes " too much of familiarity breeds contempt " . And the wall that separates one and his/her neighbors is the bond that hold any cordial relationship in existence between both , because once the wall is pulled down , the cordial relationship will die a natural death . Thus far , I have and recognize the following list of people in my life :

- Family
- Relatives
- Kins Men
- Mentors
- Proteges
- Associates
- Acquaintances

Meanwhile , from my experience also , I can testify that after Family , the next most productive set of people in ones life are the " Mentors " , Associates and Proteges " . The moment you select these sets of people wisely , progress is assured . In all , God is the rock and ultimate decider of our fate , so all glory to Him .
