When I read online that "The living in bondage" outfit costs a whooping sum of N20 million, I was like 'what da heck, mehn'!

People rarely talk about how much thinkering men go through in finding/choosing a life partner.

I'm at that point in my life and is really not an easy thing or decision.

Ogbeni, marry the one you were trying to penetrate the other day nah!

Your children are highly blessed, they'll end up as linguists.

If I were you, I'll make them speak all the four languages. You make sure to always communicate with them in Yoruba. Mandate your wife to always communicate with them in her language. Naturally they'll understand English and Igbo as a result of school and friends.

Isn't that wonderful?

Please don't limit them to only one language.

Cut her off, ke? This is the time to be closer to the intending-husband-snatcher so as to know her next move and prepare her wella for a lethal strike!

Strike her so hard that whenever she sees any of her friends' husband, she'll run far, far away.

Amongst all the men walking upon the face of the earth, na my husband you see, abi? My own friend? God forbids!
You can't even be my friend and be converteous sef. Kolewerk!

Did you call it perfume?

Olodo niyen. Abeg let's forgive him

DivinegiftofGod:
Go and get another can and fix it in the dispenser ( White container).

The one I pointed to is the refill you'll get and fix in the white dispenser.

Exactly!

Odebayo4010:
I bought this perfume last year,now have used it finish,in my own perspective I think is refillable,is there anyone that had use it before,if so did you refill it or you throw it away
I just decided to post it here because I believe t deodorant producers plenty for here

It's called Fragrance Dispenser and it's refillable. When you get to the market or supermarket, ask for canister air freshener refill, preferably Air Wick. Try perceive the fragrance before buying so you wouldn't buy the ones with harsh-choking fragrance.

The can inside is exactly what I am talking about. Or you can remove it and take it to the supermarket as sample.

@ Op
No. You made a wonderful decision!

Saw the video on Twitter and I feel so bad.. let me ask this question, do ugly Ladies also cheat? Because apparently the Lady is no different from a monkey.

Bro, please reduce the volume of your microphone?

ImpactBooks:
Dear NLs, please I need your guidance on this issue. I am on the verge of applying for my first annual leave with my present employer. But the information I have gathered from my colleagues at work have it that the company usually count weekends as part of the annual leave days.

Note that in my employment letter, it was only started at I shall be entitled to 28 annual leave days and also that the company usually work Monday - Friday.

Is it right for the company to count weekend as part of my annual leave days? And what does the Nigeria Labour Law says about this?

Thank you all for your anticipated guidance

Do you observe Federal Government Public Holidays in your place of work? If Yes, not only is your annual leave Mondays to Fridays only, you'll also need to add any such federal government holidays that falls within your leave period.

For instance, your annual leave is from December 11 to January January 17, that's the 28 days already, but because Federal Government declared 25th December (Monday), 26th December (Tuesday), 1st January (Monday), as public holidays within your stipulated leave period, you're authorized by Employment Law or Nigeria Labour Law, to add the three days, making the total number of your Leave days 31 working days (excluding the weekend). That means, instead of resuming on 18th January, you're required to resume on January 24th because there was also a weekend in-between.

The company is not doing you any favour. It's your statutory right as a Nigerian Worker. That's why I pray for people to get jobs in a well structured organizations, where they fully understand these principles and don't trample on the rights of their workforce!

And on your own, try Google and read Nigerian Labour Laws, especially the Employment Law, where the distinctions between the employer and the employee are vividly spelt out.

I wish you well.

@ Seun. Search no further, I am here now.

Give me the mantle and let me address certain issues on the Romance Section and make it a habitable space. A space where gender war is eliminated to the barest minimum, without fear or favour.

Please vote for ExtremelyGolden. I will represent well.

Thank you.

This is how our country's political front ought to look like, allowing the youths take over and transform our space with modernization, civilization and state of the art infrastructures, etc, but they religiously and ethnically said NO, and God knows it hurts me so much.

You can imagine what it will look like having mostly Youths in their late 20s, 30s, 40s and early 50s occupying the seats of governance in Nigeria, irrespective of their political, ethnical and religious affiliation!

Oh Gosh, it'll make so much sense!

God, this is my desire for Nigeria.

Thumps up for those beautiful foodie, abi soupy display.

Compliments of the Season.

Matter is anything that has weight and can occupy space.

You see the above definition, ehen? It did something to my psychology, so that I grew up believing that any female that is big or fat automatically bears the name Martha, even though the spellings differ.

I thank God I overgrew that notion.
Can you imagine that?

Thank you my love, I will

It could be it wasn't thoroughly evacuated. Please don't take the injection yet. Rather go for another scan in order to ascertain the actual cause of the bleeding.

I wish you speedy recovery.

Silentgroper:
What's that??

Isi ewu??

Whenever you hear "nkwobi", this is it!
Olohun, I am salivating already.

Op, I will advise you look around for people from your wife's place and ask them series of questions concerning their various traditions. Though you ought to have known all of these prior to your marriage to her.

I have met a lady that says they have a tradition in their place where every first child of the first daughter must be brought back to her father's house for certain traditional rites. I asked why and she said failure at which either the child will die prematurely or encounter misfortune in the future. That when she arrived with her baby, she didn't enter her father's compound straight. She stopped at the gate of the house with her baby, her father and the elders met them at the gate, performed some traditional rites on her baby before allowing them in. Afterwards, other things were done and a party was organized to welcome the child properly into the family and the community at large. Never heard of such a tradition before.

If it's their tradition, please let her go as requested, but if it's not, just invite your in-laws to come over for omugwo.

When the Bible says 'give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar, this might be one of those things.

I wish your wife safe delivery in advance.

We lead, others follow. Imagine the brightness of the pictures from Our Communication Department lasan. Everything about Unilag is simply beautiful and unique.

I Love My School!

Yes, some job vacancies are location-specified, especially in this era of high cost of commuting.

Companies would prefer employing candidates who won't be using high transport fare,or inability to secure vehicle on time as an excuse to skip work or come late to work.

It has been existing low key before now, but obviously trending now.

ojobolinda:
Mogbe!.. Hah!

Thank you sir

Mogbe bawo?

Congratulations, jare.
The shot you fired didn't miss its mark!

Middleborn:
I just got a job offer in New Zealand, I am to earn 30 New Zealand dollars per hour.

I have been pursuing a career in academics and I currently run a PhD program in a federal University. I am currently in the field gathering my data.

Should i move to New Zealand or should I turn down the job to complete my PhD? Or is there a way to continue and finish my PhD program via video conferencing since I just have to present my research work.
Please help me. Tell me what may work in this situation.

I don't know about your school, but Unilag runs most of such programmes virtually. Many students that japa while still running their programmes, Unilag made them continue virtually, and even defended their projects virtually also. That's why I love Unilag. There are very flexible in some of these matters.

Please confirm from your school. There must be a way they should help, so you can kill these two beautiful birds with just a stone.
Don't forgo either for the other. First confide in your Course Advisor, let him/her tell you what to do. And above all, pray for God's divine direction.

Congratulations. I wish you success in all of your life's endeavour.

PoliteActivist:
Honestly, that's my heart's true desire - to somehow do both. That'll be heaven! But I know it's not possible

It's possible, Ogbeni. Stop being a pessimist!
You'll never know until you try.

DamagedGirl:
Im here Sir and im fine. Thanks all. I love you all. There are lof of messages and calls and I had to travel back to my grandmothers today to stay safe till it feels safe because I am scared of him. So I could not do much communication. Ill respond everyone soon. Thanks a lot for everything everyone

Just be strong and don't feel intimidated. Help will surely come. Even this time shall pass.

"4.91/5.0 CGPA": Female First Class Graduate of UNILAG Who Won N150 Million Scholarship
Speaks

A Nigerian scholar won the N150 million naira Vanier Scholarship and has achieved academic excellence in biochemistry and cancer research.

She started her journey in Lagos, where she learned to adapt and overcome adversity, and continued to excel at the University of British Columbia in Canada, where she received several awards and recognitions.

Zaynab enjoys the cultural diversity and quality of life in Canada, and advises students who want to pursue graduate studies to ensure that their living situation is conducive to their mental health.

Kehinde Abisola Zaynab’s tenacious and deliberate pursuit of academic excellence yielded fruits of glory that many can marvel at from far and near. The female Nigerian scholar has always strived for academic excellence, and her efforts paid off with remarkable achievements and recognition.

Zaynab is one of the few Nigerian scholars who have won the prestigious Vanier Scholarship, worth N150 million naira, to pursue her PhD at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada.

She spoke to Legit.ng about her inspiring journey and her groundbreaking research on cancer metabolism.

A beginning in Lagos

Zaynab’s passion for science and learning began in Lagos, where she grew up and attended the University of Lagos. She graduated as the best student of Biochemistry in 2016, with a CGPA of 4.91/5.0. She attributes her academic success to her adaptability and resilience, which she developed in the face of adversity in Nigeria.

“I developed adaptability and resilience in the face of adversity from my home country, Nigeria. These qualities have been essential in adapting to the challenges of graduate school and overcoming setbacks along the way," she said.

Zaynab’s outstanding performance opened many doors for her to pursue her graduate studies abroad. She chose UBC, one of the top-ranked universities in the world, due to its conducive environment for learning, leadership and research.

”One of the most delightful surprises for me at UBC and in Vancouver is the accessibility of local foods and connections with people from my community and religion. I also find it fascinating that UBC's campus is home to many tourist attractions, and I always love to invite my friends to bask in its beauty. The university is situated on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by forests and mountains, which provide ample opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, and kayaking. Moreover, UBC has many green spaces and gardens, such as the Nitobe Memorial Garden and UBC botanical garden. Vancouver, the city where UBC is located, is culturally diverse and stunning, offering a high quality of life.”

Novel Research on Infant Nutrition

She enrolled in a Master’s programme in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, where she focused on developing novel research that could help address food insecurity and malnutrition in tropical regions.
Speaking about it, she said:

"My Master’s research allowed me to develop the technical skills I was interested in, while also investigating a topic of personal interest—infant nutrition—and to make contributions that will help millions of children worldwide, most notably in tropical nations. The quest to fulfill my passion for clinically relevant research is what attracted me to my Ph.D. supervisor, Dr. Parker at UBC, who is working to improve cancer therapy by studying the unique metabolic/nutritional demands of cancer cells."

Her innovative works in research have earned her several awards and accolades, including the 3MT People’s Choice Award at UBC, the Four Year Doctoral Fellowship, and the President’s Academic Excellence Initiative PhD Award. Zaynab’s research is at the forefront of cancer biology, and has significant implications for improving cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Self-doubt and Other Challenges

The UBC scholar's towering achievements have not been without challenges. She admitted that she sometimes faced self-doubt and imposter syndrome, as well as the intense competition and pressure that come with pursuing an academic career.

She also acknowledged the difficulty of keeping up with the rapid evolution of science and technology. “Despite these challenges, I am confident that I am actively working to overcome them. I am continually striving to improve my scientific and grant writing abilities by attending workshops and seeking feedback from mentors and colleagues. Additionally, I recognize the importance of staying up-to-date with the latest research and innovations in my field and regularly attend conferences and seminars to deepen my understanding. Ultimately, I believe that with hard work, dedication, and a willingness to learn and grow, I can overcome any obstacle and succeed in my chosen career path,” she said.

She also credited her family and friends for their support and encouragement throughout her journey. She said that they helped her cope with stress and maintain a healthy balance between work and life.

“I have been able to overcome my challenges by talking to my family and friends,” she said. Zaynab is an inspiration to many young Nigerians who aspire to pursue their dreams and make a difference in the world. She is a shining example of what hard work, dedication, and passion can achieve.

missidy:
Yes houses in surulere has gone up but I am very sure of games village rent because we are the landlord. We rented it out at 600k, others are putting 700k. No house is above 700k in that estate. If you want posh houses that are not in low cost estates, then they will be more expensive. Abeg Karonwi na local area, I won't advice him to go there.

Ok then. Games Village is ok. Op should heed your advice then. Yes, Karonwi/ Adedeji is a local area.

See nah, I was on Johnson Street, Bode Thomas the other day to inspect a house. If I had prior knowledge about Games Village, I would have gone to check as well.

missidy:
This is not true please. 2 bedroom in games village off bode Thomas is 700k. Get the number of several agents or go there yourself and find out. I have surulere, isolo and Ago rents knowledge first hand so that figure they quoted for you isn't true.

That must be some months ago. Houses in Surulere now are damned so expensive for reasons best known to House Agents, Developers and Landlords!

We are presently looking for accommodation and below is the price list of what we've been getting: (We're particularly interested in new buildings to avoid story that touches the heart).

1. Mini-flat = N1.2 (minimum) per annum
A. Agent and Agreement = N240,000 ( non-negotiable).
B. Service charge per annum = N150,000 (minimum) non-negotiable). Some highly greed ones even said N300,000 per annum.
C. Caution Fee - Some say N100,000, others said N50,000.

AMOUNT PAYABLE JUST FOR ONE YEAR! Mini-flat for that matter! Now tell me, is that not witchcraft?

2. Our actual budget for the 2-bedroom flat is N1.5m, but the thieves said it now goes for N2. 5m per annum. Then add the A, B & C above, and don't forget that since it's a two-bedroom flat, those charges are higher.

3. Please don't even talk about 3-bedroom flat. The total amount will be more than enough to build you extra house back home.

The above prices are for rents around Ogunlana Drive, Olufemi and its environs, Shitta, Bode Thomas, Akerelere, Falolu, Masha, Adeniran Ogunsanya and environs.

Ijesha is cheap, but not as cheap as renting a two bedroom for N700,000, as of today ooo.

Again, Op should be very careful because majority of the old buildings have either being sold out, or about to be sold out. I know of two families now that are devastated. They rented apartments about 3 to 4 months ago, only to find out now that it has been sold out for quite sometime and the former owner wickedly rented it out again. The new owner is insisting they have to pack out, and where's the money?

And some old buildings are even in such a deplorable condition that you'll have to invest so much money renovating and making it habitable.

Maybe he should consider Karonwi/Adedeji or Ijesha itself. He should also make sure the compound has water and prepaid meter, at least, to save him the cost of paying estimated PHCN bill and buying water.

You can make your research again. Rents are going higher everday. God help us.

Thank you.
