EducationRe: Which is more important? The Course you studied, or School where you studied? by essentialone(op): 9:52am On Mar 18
Kaczynski:
None.

go get some skills instead of regravating penile locomotion on whether school matter vs degree.

by all means keep arguing about which piece of paper impresses linkedIn recruiters more instead of getting some goddamme skills.
You missed the point of the discourse.


Lets say 2 people One studied Law at one of the lowly ranked State Universities in Nigeria, but another studied lets say Mass Communication at the best University in Nigeria, lets say University of Ibadan.

When both go to search for Jobs, recruiters searching for Law Graduates will always prefer the Law graduate from the Lowly ranked State University, than the Mass Communication graduate from University of Ibadan. Simply put, he or she will never be chose as they are not Law Graudates.


As for you screaming skills, well your skills can be enough to feed you and your family.

But there are several specialized professions that you cannot work or walk into with your skills if you have not been trained for it. And like it or hate it, someone must do those jobs for society and economy to function fine. Your skills are just meant to feed you. Other people's certificates and trainings in Universities are what keeps the society working.

Or the electricity grids powering several kWatts of light in Nigeria, do we not need certified Electrical Engineers to work on them, or do you not need electricity for your work?

What about Doctors? Can you also learn that online and perform Surgical operations? If Yes, then learn it online and start the surgery on your parents first.

Etc...

EducationRe: Which is more important? The Course you studied, or School where you studied? by essentialone(op): 2:45pm On Mar 17
Onegai:
Depends.

The course you studied can be more important if it is for certain industries: employers like hiring Engineering grads a lot more, even if they're not an Engineering firm (unless it's a specialised company)

The school you studied can be more important: employers used to love Covenant University grads because they felt they were the best grass being produced in Nigeria, followed by University of Ile-Ife grads (employers believed that is a very rigourous school).

Abroad: employers will take MIT and Purdue grads over a Science student from Harvard. Tsingua University grads are usually mobbed internationally (because ranking aside, everyone knows it's a VERY hard school to enter). John Hopkins School of Medicine grads usually are looked upon favourably. Mention you studied at Oxford or Imperial College and Nigerian employers will hire you on the spot without asking what you studied sef
Thanks first of all for understanding the question.


Thank you secondly for starting from Nigeria then moving on to global examples.

Yeah! Well written. Number 3 is it for me, confidence. Don't be a shaky-shaky, jelly fish, lily-livered man around me; it automatically disqualifies you. I know I'm stubborn and very opinionated and will need a strong-willed man to handle me.

Secondly, men need to be well groomed. Don't smell or look funny around me. Not necessarily expensive perfume or wears, No. Just be neat, have fresh breath, and be presentable, lobatan!

Then this one may seem unnecessary to many but it matters to me. At times, I think I'm being unreasonable but I find myself always coming back. You must speak good English. I don't know, I just can't deal.

Money is good but it's not the highest ranking. Any of us can make more. But I cherish transparency. As I good reach, plenty weyrey also dey down. You have to be as readable as a book.

Men, take note, some ladies can be like me, so see this as more tips. I'm taken already.
A very nice one coming straight from a lady. Guys who approach very beautiful ladies, have a lot to learn from you. Even though you are already taken, we will want to learn more from you.

CrimeRe: Which high profile criminal case in Nigeria, do you remember, and get shocked? by essentialone(op): 11:32pm On Mar 14
Seven children liberated as Ogun Police raid child trafficking ring.
The case of Joy Chiedozie, widely known as "Madam Joy," represents one of the most significant crackdowns on "baby factories" and illegal surrogacy rings in Ogun State to date.
The investigation, which peaked in early 2026, revealed a sophisticated operation that bridged the gap between traditional kidnapping and modern illegal surrogacy.
The downfall of Madam Joy’s network began in November 2025 after a mother reported the abduction of her six-year-old son, Samuel, in Ogun State.
In January 2026, Samuel was located at the Gowon Police Station in Lagos State. Samuel provided critical information to officers, stating he had been held at a facility called the "Joyful Kids Orphanage" in the Badagry area.
He explicitly identified "Madam Joy" as the operator of the facility.Acting on this intel, the Ogun State Police Command, led by PPRO Oluseyi Babaseyi, conducted a coordinated raid on the Badagry facility.
Joy Chiedozie (35) was arrested on-site. Along with Samuel, six additional children were rescued from the premises. Authorities also discovered two 18-year-old pregnant women at the site. Investigations revealed they were recruited specifically to carry pregnancies with the intent of selling the newborns.
The case provided a rare look into the financial "black market" for children in the region.Madam Joy confessed to purchasing Samuel for N1.5 million. She paid N900,000 in cash and N600,000 via bank transfer to an intermediary known as "Kelly."
She intended to resell Samuel to a "Mr. Emmanuel" for a higher profit. The pregnant women found on-site stated they were promised N1.5 million per child to hand over their newborns upon delivery.
The Current Status of suspects are currently in custody and facing charges related to human trafficking, illegal adoption, and child exploration.
Samuel has been reunited with his mother. The other six rescued children are currently under the care of state welfare assessments for family tracing.
Police are still tracking down "Kelly" and "Mr. Emmanuel," who are believed to be key financial backers of the syndicate.
The Ogun State Police Command has cited this case as a major victory in their "Zero-Tolerance Policy" against institutions that use the guise of orphanages or NGOs to facilitate child trafficking.

The case of Chief Uche Franklin Onyekwere serves as a stark reminder of the rigorous anti-narcotics net cast across Nigeria’s major entry points.
For a man of his standing—a 47-year-old business tycoon with established roots in both Brazil and Lagos—the fall from grace was swift and public.
Caught at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) with 1.60 kilograms of cocaine, Onyekwere's attempt to use his "Importer/Exporter" status as a cover failed under the scrutiny of NDLEA's advanced screening technology.
His stated motives—economic desperation to revive his business and the desire to throw a lavish naming ceremony for his newborn—underscore a tragic irony:
In his attempt to secure his child's future, he instead jeopardized his own freedom.
The legal landscape for drug trafficking in Nigeria has become increasingly severe.
While Onyekwere faces prosecution under the NDLEA Act, the stakes have never been higher.
Traditionally, Section 11 of the NDLEA Act prescribes life imprisonment for the importation or trafficking of cocaine and heroin.
The Death Penalty Debate, since May 2024, an intense national debate has gripped Nigeria following the Senate's move to prescribe the death penalty for severe drug trafficking offenses.
This legislative shift, which seeks to amend the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Act, aims to upgrade the maximum punishment from life imprisonment to death for those involved in the manufacturing and distribution of narcotics like cocaine and heroin.

The case involving the death of Nkanu Nnamdi, the 21-month-old son of renowned author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, has escalated into a significant legal and ethical conflict.
Following the toddler's death in January 2026, the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) suspended several doctors, sparking a "storm" as the medical professionals now demand an apology and a reversal of the sanctions.
On January 6-7, 2026 Chimamanda’s Son was admitted to Euracare Multi-Specialist Hospital in Lagos for an MRI and the insertion of a central line following a severe infection.
She alleged that her son was administered an overdose of propofol (a sedative) by the anesthesiologist. She claimed he was then "casually" carried to the ICU without supplemental oxygen or proper monitoring, leading to a cardiac arrest.
The child passed away on January 7, just one day before a planned medical evacuation to the United States.
The MDCN Investigation and Suspensions
In February 2026, the MDCN Investigative Panel concluded its preliminary probe and established a prima facie case of medical negligence and professional misconduct.
This led to,Three senior doctors were barred from practicing medicine in Nigeria pending a full tribunal hearing: Dr. Tosin Majekodunmi (Medical Director, Euracare),Dr. Titus Ogundare (Anesthesiologist, Euracare), Dr. Atinuke Uwajeh (Chief Medical Officer, Atlantis Pediatric Hospital)
10 other doctors were found to have a case of misconduct to answer, while 8 others were cleared.
The Doctors' Pushback, and as of mid-March 2026, the suspended doctors have launched a vocal defense, alleging that the investigative process was flawed and biased.
Their primary arguments include that doctors claim the panel acted "aggressively" and treated them as though they were already guilty, describing the process as a "witch-hunt" fueled by the high-profile nature of the case.
They argue that Rule 49(c) of the Code of Medical Ethics was incorrectly applied. For instance, one doctor noted they were only there to provide an "expert opinion" and did not "own" the patient.
One indicted doctor alleged that a lumbar puncture (performed by a doctor who was not among the 13 indicted) was the actual trigger for the cardiac arrest, rather than the sedation protocols.
The doctors are demanding a public apology and the immediate reversal of their suspensions, citing "irreparable damage" to their professional reputations and careers.
As of today the Current Status, remains before the Medical and Dental Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal.
While the hospital initially maintained that care was provided in line with international standards, the public outcry has ignited a national debate in Nigeria regarding medical accountability and the standards of private healthcare.

The case of Emmanuel Amidu, while sparking significant initial outrage in Lagos State, has largely receded from public and media focus, a pattern often seen in cases involving public school incidents in Nigeria.
As of the latest updates, there has been no public record of a conviction for the teacher involved. In the Nigerian legal system, cases of this nature often stall at the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) stage.
The DPP must determine if there is a prima facie case (sufficient evidence) to charge the teacher with manslaughter or murder.
The outcome of the autopsy is the deciding factor. If the medical report could not definitively link the physical punishment to the immediate cause of death (e.g., if it was attributed to an underlying condition triggered by stress), criminal prosecution becomes extremely difficult.
While criminal charges may not have progressed to a high-profile trial, the Lagos State Ministry of Education typically handles such cases through the Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM).
It is standard procedure in Lagos for teachers involved in such fatalities to be placed on indefinite suspension or dismissed from the state service for "gross misconduct" and violation of the state's "no-flogging" policy.
The principal of Araromi-Ilogbo Senior Secondary School was also subject to an inquiry regarding the failure to enforce safety protocols and the initial handling of the emergency.
The primary "status" of this case today is its role in policy. Emmanuel’s death, along with others in the same period, forced the Lagos State Government to:
Reiterate the absolute ban on corporal punishment in all 1,017 public schools.Implement mandatory "Positive Discipline" training for teachers in the Badagry and Ojo axes, where corporal punishment was found to be most prevalent.

TOPCRUISE:
The lady might have said a “yes” to sex in prior relationships to dozens of men who promised her marriage but thereafter got dumped after numerous sexcapades ending the relationships.
Now that she has gotten wiser she has now vowed no sex in any relationship.
That she said a No doesn’t define her a virgin it’s just a way of saying she is tired of being another man’s fucktoy.
Na the guy go lose las las. Because what has been a done and ravished can’t be undone and unravished.
Truth is that most guys go into relationships with hope of getting sex. While ladies go into relationships with hope of getting married. But when already married ladies go into relationships, what do they hope to get?
