RomanceRe: Can You Be In An Open Relationship? by ggoldmine(f): 1:08pm On Apr 12, 2022
If you don't mind, I'd like to know your reasons for not wanting to commit? I mean, you mentioned you love her.

iExplore:
No.
She was single when I asked her out. She was against the open relationship idea at first... I had to convince her because I love her but don't want to commit to a relationship at the moment.

So this girl ( 15 years) was brought to my house by my wife after my wife gave birth a year after. My wife said she really needs someone to help her, but I kicked against it. After much pestering from my wife, I agreed.

I sooo much have feelings for this girl.
I have fought it so much. Some times my wife is out/ travels and am alone with her and kid when am back from work. But this strong feeling comes up and I feel like having her. Most times I find my self thinking about this girl. It's to the point that my chest pains me.. When I ask my wife for s*x, Most times & always she says she's tired.

Please it's really affecting me, it's eating me up. I need suggestions/ advice from my well meaning Nairalanders. Thanks allot.
PoliticsRe: Malabu Fraud: Alhaji Aliyu Received $400 Million As Consultancy Fee by ggoldmine(f): 1:20pm On Feb 08, 2022
Your post doesn't make sense! huh It's best if you read the full history of Malabu scandal. Mtchew

FreeStuffsNG:
" Anti-corruption investigators and activists suspect he fronted for top officials of the Goodluck Jonathan administration as well of officials of Shell and ENI.

we sat down and agreed that I should take this matter and discuss with the then President Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and I would act as a consultant.
“This we all agreed then I went to the President and I had a meeting with him which he would see how he would resolve this matter for the interest of Nigeria and the interest of everybody, then it was agreed I would be paid a consultancy fee
"

As at that time ,Mr Etete was reportedly an ex-convict and how they all pretended not to know is unbelievable. Thank God the Milan Court is dealing with them all and not buying the bunkum that they are not aware of the criminal record of Mr Etete.

The worst part is that HE GEJ approved that only $210M of $1.092.040.000 would be deducted to pay signature Bonus to the Federal Government while the others were stolen.


This is likely the source of the fresh mint dollars being corruptly shared during the 2015 Presidential election build up yet FG workers and civil servants of about 30 states of the federation were owing workers salaries for up to 9 months while some of the workers and pensioners were dying from hunger.

That HE GEJ tenure was the era of the locust years.

Everywhere in the FG administration was messed up, from bomb blast every independence day to fuel scarcity that make people sleep at fuel station on Christmas days and even the Nigerian map was not spared, we already lost a large portion of Borno state to Boko Haram and Mr Henry Okah,a.k.a Jomo Gbomo ,was doing his own while Tompolo,an oil pipeline vandal kingpin was handed the contract of securing our sovereign water ways!! shocked Wow!!!

All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose. God bless Nigeria forever.
HealthRe: Man Who Has Never Had Kids Celebrates Afer Undergoing Vasectomy (Photos) by ggoldmine(f): 4:41pm On Feb 05, 2022
You should go back and read your comments. You invented reasons why one may not want kids, but none for the reverse. Because those 'forbidden acts' appear unintelligible to you, doesn't mean it's unnatural for them. Besides, who defines what's intrinsic or not? That could be their intrinsic quality. Anyway, cheers.

advanceDNA:
Your question is funny...
The desire to have children is intrinsic becos we are social creatures...it’s natural

You don’t have to have psychological issues to desire children, whether giving birth to them or adopting
HealthRe: Man Who Has Never Had Kids Celebrates Afer Undergoing Vasectomy (Photos) by ggoldmine(f): 2:23pm On Feb 05, 2022
Oh yeah? And what psychological reason is responsible for wanting to have children?

advanceDNA:
Lol...I understand it..it’s not difficult...
u are the one that doesn’t understand that every decision, opinion, desire or mentality stem out or is driven by a premise...

There’s always a psychological reason behind these decision. Sometimes, the person may not even know about it, because it has been hidden in the past or subconscious as coping mechanism of the mind..

It could be fear of failure
Childhood pain caused by parent
Abandonment fear..
Self-esteem issues..

The list is almost endless..

Polish this write-up and send to the university.

ensamy:
I applied because I wanted a career change towards my PhD. I applied with B.Sc alone and the question of 12years gap came up , then I mentioned work and M.Sc which knocked off the 12 years study gap and IELTS earlier requested,
But I was only asked for Explanation for the 2nd M.Sc so that application to be fully considered.
For example if I do Bioinformatics without a solid foundation on Molecular microbiology I think it would in the future not make me to be fully grounded. Theses are areas which are fully lacking in Nigeria. How many Professors in Nigeria can do DNA/RNA sequencing ??, Go round our Universities. Sars-cov-2, Delta variant, Omicron , does it mean we don't have a different variant here , No, just because of lack of the technology, Polio virus variant and many things happening but lack of technology instead we send samples to Ghana for sequencing, so they is a big problem to solve in Nigeria. I am going for Molecular microbiology and the Bioinformatics in PhD.
The few molecular scientist here in Nigeria running all this PCR Covid-19 test earn almost 350k to 500k per month but maybe almost all or less than 1% including the ones at all our Universities can fully sequence a DNA/RNA of isolates, genomics. There's a problem and gap in Nigeria.
Even at our NCDC Abuja (I stand to be corrected).

You're right. Unilever is Close-up, GSK is MaCleans grin grin
But I think Macleans is extinct.

onegentleguy:
UNILEVER has 2 core business lines;
HPC... Home and personal care business segment and
FBS... Food business segment which houses the core of the coys consumer products.

GSK operates on 2 core business lines;
Consumer health care business segment and
the Health/pharmaceutical arm of business.

And you really do not see any relationship btw GSK' consumer health care business segment and UNILEVER' HPC line... or how both segment can sync?

It means you still didn't quite follow the post.
You probably misrepresented matters. wink cheesy grin
Try reading btw the lines... then relate things to my previous analysis on GSK.

Note that am not saying that a merger, acquisition or buy-out will play out. ...I honestly know nothing about that pls. wink cheesy grin

Not NYSC clearance but she has to clear from university before she's posted for service. That way, she'll be able to obtain the statement of result needed for NYSC clearance in the camp. Yes, she needs money to complete her school clearance and the cost varies depending on the university.


Impatient:
Hello dear. Please, kindly help me answer this questions: does it cost money to do your nysc clearance and posting? And how much? Cos, my younger sister is telling me she needs 70k to go to her school and go finish with nysc clearance and posting.

And she even said that if she doesn't do it before the deadline, the money to do the clearance will also be increasing.

Guys. I'm not sure how PTDF wants the WAEC PIN sent but this is different from candidate number asked on the application form. Candidate number is similar to WAEC number found on the WAEC certificate, but different from PIN. PIN can be found on a WAEC scratch card and you might have to buy one, if you've exhausted the attempt on your WAEC scratch card.

You mentioned that you're an undergraduate. Which university are you currently in and what's your course of study? If you're not in school yet, what's your career ambition?

Idowu116:
Hello Everyone,am new here and I see the way people share opinion about what they are going through in life so I decided to share mine too.

This is a little bit long please bear with me.
Am a 22 year old undergraduate.I finished my secondary School in 2017 but couldn't further my education because my parents (father particularly) are financially down.

I didn't even attend my graduation party party because my dad refused to get me the clothes we chose to wear in my class.

So out of shame,I didn't attend the party and I haven't even collect my certificate and testimonial till today.

Later in November that year (finished school in September),I decided to start looking for a menial job so a friend helped me with work at a particular market in Lagos, where I wash shoe for shoe sellers.

I did this till 2020 in March before the Corona virus issue started.

So around December I resumed the work again till early April, this year.

A friend of my mom helped me get a job at a bank,to work as a cleaner.

All this while, my dad and mom had a serious fight and my dad stopped living with us.

My father is a stubborn and who fornicates and my mom is not happy with it.

So luckily,I got the job and I started working that same month, paid 25k.
With this 25k, a take transport everyday #400 (200 go,200 come)and I feed from it too.i give my mum 5,000 from it too but am not happy and comfortable with it because before the month ends I end up having nothing, trekking to work and have not to eat talk less of saving to further my education.

Working as a cleaner, people use to take advantage of me a lot and a person,I have studied my nature well.I don't like people sending me on errands,I hate it but that is the nature of the job.

People take me for granted, some abuse me then I would cry and wish I never existed.

Sometimes I think of committing sucide but I later do keep my cool.I am an introvert but I have decided to start talking back at people and refusing to answer their message but am scared I might loose my job even though am not happy with the job.

Am also thinking of stopping the job myself but am scared of poverty.

I don't want to go back to the shoe washing job too because it is too stressful and I get sick when doing it

Please what should I do

PoliticsRe: FIRS Generates ₦4.9trn, Unveils Call Centre To Address Taxpayers’ Complaints by ggoldmine(f): 1:36pm On Dec 07, 2021
I'd say mismanagement. It's not enough to generate revenues, how much is being spent on expenditures? What is their net income? It'll be best if they produce those figures as well. Not just publishing revenues as though it's not their jobs to generate it in the first place. In fact, with the number of businesses in Nigeria, I expected more!

Racoon:
In so much that this effort is highly commendable given the revenue drive of #4.9T but the question remains why is the government still going about borrowing money?

FamilyRe: He's Hurting Because I'm Getting Married. by ggoldmine(f): 12:30pm On Nov 13, 2021
Don't say you were not intimate with him. Being intimate doesn't have to involve sexual intercourse. Yes, it's okay for him to be heartbroken as he fears the intimacy will be lost when you get married. His mistake is not thinking about the future and you not probably bringing up marriage plans, goals and future in your constant conversations with him. Hence, the shock and consequently, anger. I feel that if he heard it often, it'd be easier to come to terms with the news of your wedding. There's not much you can do at this point. Just plan your wedding! Bringing it to this forum makes it look like you're scared of losing your so-called bestie when at this point your boyfriend should be your bestie. If you can, involve his wife. Tell her everything, it'll probably bring the man back to his senses.

Wait. My goodness! You probably actually kept whatever it is between you two, a secret from his wife. It's more complicated than I thought. Still thinking…if you introduced him to your family, he should have introduced you to his wife. If he didn't, that was a red flag you didn't see. If he did, then you should tell her. And of course it's not gonna portray you in a good light because you betrayed her trust (leaving you with her husband).

Anyway, either tell him that you'll involve his wife or tell her yourself. If he's bored of his wife, it's not your job to make him happy. In fact, as the friend you claimed to be, give him tips to spice up his marriage!

Annabelle12344:
I just created this account to post this.
I'm really Disturbed.

My wedding is approaching and I'm so excited about it.
Before I met my husband to be, there's this married man I know. Right from day one he told me who was married but his family based in a different state. I told him I'm single and I can't marry a married man nor date a married man. We both laughed about it.

Years passed, he became so close to my family and everybody around me. He comes to my house, gist with my mum, siblings and my family members are very accommodating.
I had my boyfriend whom everyone knows, that I have nothing with this man.
he support me financially some times. I have been helpful as well in my own ways. most times, I helped him out with cooking, even followed him to supper market to pick beautiful clothes (wears) for his wife and children. I have known this man for about 4 yrs now, but never have I had intimat.e relationship with him. He's like a big brother to me although he deeply loved me and have asked me out severally, but i have never involved myself with him s.exuallly.

This man have been so good to me, but now, I want to get married and he's so angry with me, he appears so hurt and heartbroken. He's behaving as if I betray his love. He's acting as if nothing mean anything to him any more. He almost lost his job last week due to lack of concentration. He takes his job carelessly now,

How can I help him heal emotionally, without distracting my own marriage?

Is ignoring him at this point the best option?


How should I handle this? Pls advice

EducationRe: He Speaks English Well But Can Not Read And Write by ggoldmine(f): 9:53pm On Jul 04, 2021
He's probably dyslexic.

lambszy:
Good morning guys,

Please, help me to help a friend.

I have tried everything possible within my capacity to help this guy but to no avail.
My friend is 22 and currently in one of the federal polytechnic here in Nigeria. This guy can speak good english well but the problem is he can not read nor write, the only thing he can write down is his name and Reg. No.

Last year, before first semester exam. I noticed that this guy is always avoiding conversation that involves reading or studying. I never saw him read, not even once. We are neighbours and friends.

I just decided to take it upon myself to find out what was wrong as I know, he is a good person but hiding something. So I offered to be helping him with his assignments and handout summary to my amazement the guy find it hard to read what I smartly asked him to. He refused to admit that he can't read, probably he was a shame to admit it, so I let him be.

He, then finally opens up to me about him not been able to read and write. Of course, this was after first semesters exam and I had to perster him before he was able to tell me of his secret. How have you been writing the exam then? I asked, he said "I submit blank paper" when the result came out he had 6 COs (carry overs).

Again, I offered to help. I did all his assignments, encourage him to write something in all his test, He improved on his CA and others except for reading as I told him to at list write some thing down.even if it means coping from someone siting next to him without getting caught, I'm not encouraging exam malpractice but he needed help urgently.

Now here's my major challenge and concern, Since January this year, I have used Queen's Premier, used other English materials, vowel and consonant sound

The only thing he's been able to read are just few two letter words. Thought I was the problem, so I lied to a friend who happens to be a lecturer that the guy needs help, and that he's finding it hard to understand his books. The lecturer agreed to help but later told the guy not to come again as the guy is still not getting any thing.

Please, help.... the guy want to learn but I don't know what exactly could be the problem.

Inputs please, I anticipate your wise advice.
Thanks.
