Mtcheeeeeeewwwwwww!

As if it's English that will do the work.

I rather have a staff that is zealous, dedicated with heavy 'Igbotic' or 'Oodua' accent that will give me the result I wanted than some smooth English speaker wannabe that will turn my office to English language tutorial center

If you could speak like her, you wont be proud of it. It is not about what you wrote...but speaking clearly. People who cannot speak well always say this. You will ne frustrated if you travel out of Nigeria and you don't speak clearly. Just stay in Nigeria with your whatever accent.

Not saying you form rubbish...but learning to speak clearly is not bad. Accent reduction is not bad...it is actually very good. Speak so that natice speakers can hear you well ...not that they will develop headache trying to understand your words.

Good luck!

casualobserver:
when you think foreign accent is a thing of pride or a subject to consume your discussions and aspirations, have already lost the race before it started. For example, many Nigerian artistes tried to imitate foreigners before the advent of Afrobeat, they all flopped!!! it is only when Nigerian artistes started to be themselves and sing in their unique African way that the world embraced them. You cannot be more oyinbo than the oyinbo man, you have nothing to offer if what you are selling is not authentic but a copy. So be yourself, be proud of yourself, your accent, your culture and your heritage, stop giving yourselves foreign names or speaking in fake foreign accents or projecting foreign as superior, you are subconsciously telling yourself that you and your own are inferior and not good enough.

there is no Nigerian artiste who has made in on the international stage with a foreign accent....remember that. Sunny Ade, Fela etc all sang in their Nigerian accents and projected their Nigerianness. And before you mention Sade Adu and the likes of SEAL, they were all raised abroad and are only Nigerian in name.

You are not making sense. I can see that you are home-based all through.

It is not about "forming", but pronouncing your words. You can't understand it because the person pronouncing wrongly doesn't even know. That lady might be born in the UK, or she went for accent reduction classes...and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

You are just hiding under the nonsense you put up here because of your inferiority complex. Many hurdles to cross... sounds and tone...where to stress...silent letters also.

Music and entertainment is different from speaking English. Do not mix it up.

Back to speaking clearly....there are sounds each tribe cannot pronounce well that we need to try to get rid of. You want to speak English...speak it. Hausa cannot pronounce F clearly...they substitute it with v. This is why Buhari says Viver when he wants to say Fever. Almost all Nigerians cannot pronounce "th"...thats why even ex-Pre Jonathan says "tank", instead of "thank". Most Yoruba people cannot pronounce "h" very well... it's why they say "ouse" instead of "house". You cannot speak like this and say you speak clearly.

Good luck!

He said he would remove blocking in August 2023, why hasn't he removed... it is very easy for his developers to remove it... why hasn't he done it? This is the reason why Seun should include blocking, I need to be able to block people like you from pestering and disturbing my peace.

How do you know that it is very easy for his developers to remove it? Keep making baseless assumptions. grin

Oga, I don't know exactly the reason, but I know that regulations in the US require some of these platforms to include the block button. So, perhaps the application for removal is not yet complete. I don't know and you don't know. I don't want to make any assumptions, but most app owners say the same thing...blocking is bad for the business...and there are other ways they want to explore. The question is that...have they been able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that some of the other options are better?

Again, you have refused to read the proposal I gave. You only want to push your own. This is the part I hate about uninformed Nigerians. By the way, are you a developer to say with an affirmative tone that it is easy for his developers or not? Na waoooo!

You need to be able to block people like me because you don't agree with me. Yet, I haven't in any way insulted you.

Seun...follow the conversation btw this guy and myself and see that he is all about his own will. Seun, I don't agree with all your tactics, but I am a businessman who considers owners cos I know how it feels. Listen, bro, if you listen to these people and just do what they want, you may regret it. Test everything you want to implement very well on a smaller group in the whole population of NL and see if it works. Do not bow to pressure from people who only want their will. Most of these people will promote their agenda and there won't be any balance and check. Yes, social media is for reading pros and cons....advantages and disadvantages. This particular guy will only want his inner "will" done. It is not healthy. Someone like me should not be deprived of the right to challenge him. What we don't want is ethical and religious intolerance. Yes...we can even share our opinions about our religion. I should be able to tell Muslims that killing for their gods is rubbish (not that their god is rubbish...but killing humans for its sake is rubbish). It is my right. They have to defend their stand logically and not with violence also. And Christians should be challenged too that their pastors are thieves if therr are evidences they are. And if they want to promote killing people or violence, the social media should be able to track them down and make goverment arrest such peoppe. Of course, only a demon will promote killing another fellow because of his god. Therefore, beware of what you use.

Nigeria is a delicate region. Someone like this should not be allowed to have his way. Nope. He needs to be continuously checked because he will want to use social media to promote his dangerous will. His will must be checked well before being accepted. Anyone who does not want anyone to check his will is dangerous to society.

People use blocking to get rid of online harassment and trolls on other social media, if Elon Musk removes, he will lose millions of users

How do you know he will lose millions of users? Cos you think so? What are your parameters for saying that? Oh...Twitter cannot be monetized cos the way it was built...if Elon tries it...it will collapse. Has it collapsed after monetizing it? Oh...he is a slave to advertisers, he must worship them.... The last time he said no to them and cut them off...has he gone out of business finally? Dey play. Show me that removing the block button has made any social media platform crash. Which one?

because it means that someone can keep throwing insults at you, while you keep waiting for a moderator to intervene.

Go back and read my post and I gave another option..That should be looked into also...did you consider the option I have given there? Or you don't even bother to read it but just cos you think blocking is the solution? Give other people's opinions a chance too. It is not what you think will work that always work. Most Nigerians don't even know about topics they engage in arguments....they hear many saying something will work...and they automatically start promoting it without knowing themselves if such will work.

Blocking hinders social media businesses and most platforms are looking for a way to avoid it without violating rules. Though some regulatory bodies mandate it, it is not the only way out. Personally, if I were the owner, it would be the last option I would use after trying others.

Did you even read my previous post? I guess you don't still understand what I wrote there...cos if you do....you won't return with this.

Good luck!

Include a block button, I made this suggestion to you around 2019, but you seem reluctant to do that. The major thing keeping me on this forum is the Express Entry thread and its other related thread (like the TEF thread). Once I have collected ITA and I am cleared to immigrate to Canada this year, I won't be on this forum except you include a block button... I prefer to block tribalists, trolls and annoying forum posters myself rather than wait for you or you moderators. Their comments would still be visible to others, however I would never be able to see them, if I were to block their accounts.

Blocking has the tendency to be not favorable for business. Even Elon Musk is trying to remove it from Twitter.

Seun:
This feature is not out of the question, but let's see how you feel when my moderators are able to block them before you see their posts.

There are other ways to do it without blocking. If you put a block button, it will affect your business. Depending on how you want to do it, an option is that you allow users to rank posts. You will do less work on home page hijackers too...and naturally, intelligent posts will be upgraded to the front page. Then, you configure the algorithm so that when a user has posts downgraded, you limit such an account. Users can downgrade trolls and abusers too.

See...I abuse people who insult me first here also. But if you have such...I don't need to retaliate, I will just press the button to move down the post. I will share it also so that all my followers can descend on such a post. By the time the person gets such treatment, things will be ok.

This method has its downside too cos haters will deliberately injure many accounts. grin

So, you may need to create a section for appeal for anyone whose account has been destroyed so that a mod can investigate it.

Your success is all about who you employ and how they respond. Shikena. I have had an encounter with you and your mods. I know some of them who I would sack if I were you. Also, mods should be paid very well...and that is why you should create a means to generate more income to pay them well. Not saying there should not be volunteers, but you will need mods that are paid well sir. As in good pay. Not just mods...but backend workers too.

I have changed my account like 6 times....we used to be friends sef...but see...the love I have for Nigeria is why I am doing this. At a stage, I wanted to see if I could start something, but I didn't have the time. My focus is on something else.

Good luck sir

U1:
So, in summary, were you saying that everyone has the capacity to learn money-making tech skills? That's what I think the person you quoted had in mind, not simply the ability to use tech devices.

I have elaborated further in a subsequent post. Well, you are right in a sense, but the world is tending to using the cognitive part of our brain. Robots will take over the jobs that don't require mental ability. If it is a repetitive task, robots will take over. I gave the example of tailors. The business is making clothes. Those driving sewing machines with either their legs or hands will be out of business soon while those who make patterns will be the ones in business. How many of our tailors can cut out good patterns? Those who know it are lazy to make their patterns accurate..you see them use short cuts and there is always inefficiency in their patterns. When they join them, they fold the edges of the clothes to match each other....lol...thats why you see that the edges of their clothes are wrinkled...but when you buy a good package shirt...edges are smooth because the patterns fit one another accurately. You will need deep thinking ability to make patterns (that deep thinking ability is what will be needed), and then you will use tech to draw it out (an app). Pattern making is technical drawing. How many of them can do it? Lol.

The carpenter who is still learning how to use a hammer to drive in nails will run out of business soon. Those making money will be the ones who use tech. So, in a way you are right...but I want to emphasize the fact that...the kind of skills people learn in Nigeria today will be useless soon. Even if you will use an app or whatever, it will be based on your ability to think deeply. But these presently...repetitive tasks are what they are still learning.

Hope this helps.

Family › Re: Does A Woman Earning More Than The Husband Affect The Marriage? by epainos: 2:22pm On Jan 02, 2024

Notfogotten:
Does a wife earning more than the husband affect the marriage institution?

While a lot of people believe it does as according to them most women in this category tends to disrespect the man; others believe it doesn't as there are women who earn more than the husband and the information is known only between the man and the wife.

What is your opinion, do you have real life
experience or know a family where marriage is suffers because the woman later turned out to be earning more?

What would your advice be for men who later in life earns less than their wives?

What would be your advice for women who later earn more than their husbands

If the man is ready to learn how to make wealth, no wahala. He will leverage the financial stability of his wife and make his wealth. But if he is lazy and wants his wife to keep carrying the major burden, he will have challenges. The other factor is that if the wife's wealth is from her parents and the parents don't like the guy...then, the guy needs to be sure that he is on the same page with the girl.

The issue here is that the man should tap into what works. If he fails, he will have challenges. This is just the truth.

And it is the same vice versa in advanced countries. It is only in Africa ladies think men should do it all...and it is why they are used and disrespected. A woman (not a gold digger) abroad does not care about the man's wealth because she can do it too. But here...most girls see the man as the burden carrier. They will even justify it with the fact that they carry a pregnancy and do house chores. Na person wey no get money dey do house chores na. Lol

you can't be everywhere thesame time,you need the services of others too

No matter the service, tech must be involved. I am not addressing you cos poverty will kill you with your attitude....but for the sake of others...and if you are wise...you should listen.

Everyone should find out the latest tech used for the service he is interested in and go learn it.

Carpenters- don't learn where they use a hand saw and hammer. Find where they use computers to design, and then use modern cutters. Also, the days of using nails to hold joints are getting finally over...go learn how to use hand drills with screws...and even...modern stuff better.

Plumber: innovative tech is changing the plumbing system so that you can get a job in modern construction sites.

Tailoring: this one..I pity most people there...the people who will be making the money in 10 years are the pattern makers. Sewing machines will soon be automated. Those driving sewing machines with their legs and hands will be out of the job in a max of 10 years. The only people who will be making money are the pattern makers. This will be strictly technical drawing business.

Femi Gbaja even touched low-cost LSDPC housing estates in Iponri side. When I drove past the area, I was shocked. These are apartments that belong to individuals....Femi renovated everything for them. Wow. Anything in Surulere that belongs to the government or individuals tapped into....Femi retouched it again. Even the medium housing estate in Lawanson. Some individual houses that aren't govt built are touched too. He pumped money into the areas. This is to tell us that all the lawmakers and senators have enough money but they embezzle everything.

The one that shocked everyone was Desmond Shola Elliot. Mehn! Shola messed up big time. He will regret going there to chop cos he turned his back on the people who had loved him during his day in the movie industry. Shola messed up..big time.

I read elsewhere that is being positioned as chief of staff by the governor.
Wike won this fight against the governor immediately he got the president involved.
Fubara is weakened severely politically,by the implementation of the directives of PBAT.

Those who fought, where are they today? You people always talk like you own Nigeria. He has shown that he is not a kid to be pushed aside. And I read the deal...it is not bad. He used Wike to rise to become a governor and there is an agreement on the table. Wike may be a useless man like most politicians...Sim is also a double useless fella. However, when it comes to power tussle, he has got the president's attention. If I was him, I would lay low also. Just wait and see how that man will rise. Wike cannot just talk to him anyhow again. Not possible.

Tell me one person who went against these powerful politicians and won. Just one person. Even the president himself swallowed many nauseating stuff...even bowed to Orji's mom grin

....but today...let Orji go to the villa and not almost knee for him...they will bundle her out. Even Buhari...let him say nonsense and see what will happen to him.

Oga, the road to becoming a top politician is humbling. Only someone like Jonathan can clomb easily...those who are really humble. This guy called Sim is also very humble. If it was another governor, mehn! I like him. He knows what he is doing. And more, you don't pray to have Wike as an enemy. Who has survived Wike? Go check. You guys just talk. Where is Amaechi today? Ameachi was his ex-boss ooo. Where is Atiku today? To fight Atiku na beans? Someone who destroyed Atiku is who you want to make an enemy. Lol.

As it is today....Bola Tinubu, Gandollar, Wike, and Atiku are the top politicians we have. ElRufai has seen that he is out...but he is trying to restrategize. He did not get that those after him wanted to kill his political career cos the next post for him was to become the president. He didn't get it...otherwise, he would have fought to be the power minister when they were embarrassing him cos he has the president's backing. But he was too proud....lol. I trust Tinubu....that man respects himself...and it is why Buhari himself cannot say anything bad about him. Even when his appointed son went against him, he said nothing cos he knew he didn't have the power to do much. But as soon as he is in charge, do you see him as someone who isn't in charge like Buhari? Not saying he is doing fine cos I don't like him that much...but he is certainly in control of his government.

Do you want him to go against the power that can force a "state of emergency" on him? You people hailed him when he destroyed the House of Assembly and that was what killed him....cos the president can invoke a "state of emergency". The president has called the attorney general to give him angles to use and invoke it. A state where over 90% of lawmakers are rendered homeless because the governor destroyed their home? Wike would just tell them to bring real violence. Sim started it....by the time they start burning and pulling down structures here and there...Sim is out. Tinubu will impose a state of emergency and appoint Wike's new anointed person as the governor and then rule for like 1 to 2 years before another election is conducted. You need to think ahead .... don't just talk.

Nigeria cannot get better. It is not possible. However, the people presently living in Nigeria can have a quality life ONLY if they separate. This is the way out, but almost everyone won't agree with my view. They are gonna toss it away. Funny...they want to invest in culture so much. They claim we don't have to lose our language, culture, and even religion is part of the culture now. Lol. But take a look at religion and culture...these are the main problems. The leaders of these two notorious ways of life are the godfathers of politicians. Use your head. Remove these two demons, and we will have good leaders.

A fooli.sh and inexperienced man he is. This is why I guess early marriage is dangerous in this world we are in today. The way around this was to talk it out. The girl would feel bad about it...and they would reach an agreement. He supposed to thank God for delivering him from a lesbian. His prayers cannot be answered while sleeping with a lesbian. The kids should be his priority.

He needs to go and learn how to control his emotion first. When you realise that it is hard to find a good partner these days, you won't rush into marriage.

I have fought so many wars in my life and won all with the exception of Onychophagia (Nail Biting)

Now remains one single habit that I have been fighting from my early childhood (ONYCHOPHAGIA)
The sweetest in the life of nail bitters is the nails and it's cuticles.

I'm now 44 years old, married with kids, have my own house, self employed and doing well in business ,good, stable and predictable cash flow.. I had fought so many difficult wars and habits in my 44 years on Earth, one of the most difficult is nail biting.

To the glory of Almighty God,I won this war in 2023.
When I reflect on what Jehovah has done for me, I can only thank God and AI bards that gave me the tips on quitting Onychophagia.

Since June 2023, I never bit my nails.
You too can win one of the most embarrassing, non-harmful but oneb the most difficult habits and wars to win.

I don have the picture before I won the war against onychophagia, but the picture as at today is posted.
This is the best Xmas gift I had ever received from myself for myself in life.

You may need to go outside what you like or what you think is good, but do what they want now. Then, look at those universities presently employing yoruba teachers. You can see if there are scholarships you can apply for. Or research stuff you can do. If you cannot get, you may just find any legal means to get to the US, Canada, UK or Australia...and then get your shi.t started there. We are over 300 millions in Naija...so, the bar is so high now. Crush all hindrances by any means.

Just do it!

As regards what I wrote earlier...can you get scholarship in Nigeria? Yes or No. Go back and read the post again...you will get my point.

Love800:
Pardone.
Am sorry if my question provoked u. I dont mean any harm.
I was just curious to know the other avenues to earn. Because i intend going into academics too.

Ok. Some guys there who are researchers annoyed me...so I felt you are one of them...but at the same time, you can get more clues from my previous posts.

Anyway, going into academics is a very good decision. The idea is that your salary is the smallest fraction of your income. Trust me...it is. If you know what you are doing, your brain can put money into your pocket till the last second you pass to eternity.

Private businessmen are the ones you are there to serve and not the government. If you get govt's contract...good...but you don't aim for that. Govt will employ you when private businesses give good recommendations about you. Think of it...politicians always roll with businessmen. That's how it works.

Look at your field very well, and get the most recent trend there. Who are the big players in your field? What are they into? Check out recent research the there. From there, you start mapping out a way for you to get done what they need. Remember, it is what they need and not what you think is smart or think they need. Nope. Find out what they need. Find out the problems they encounter seriously and solve them. If you can get an evergreen area, that is a joker. That's a big win. An evergreen area is always relevant, so you keep making money back to back for many years for anything you patent and they use.

But these lecturers here...they just want govt to keep paying them more for teaching old things. How many of them give scholarship to their students? Lol. Most of the scholarships Nigerians and other nationalities get to study abroad are from the lecturers. It is sort of the reward for the students to come on board and assist them with the research they are doing. That free tuition and other fees are from the money awarded to the lecturer. Scholarships just dont fall from heaven. And if you check, the bulk of these funds are from the private sector. Our lecturers are idiots doing nothing. No private organisation is patronizing them cos they are mostly worthless. So the only option they have is to keep blackmailing govt to increase their salaries.

If you want to go into academics, leave Nigeria. It is not worth it. Those lecturers are stumbling blocks.
