Airport runway is just a wide 3km road ooh ...o don't know why we over hype things in nigeria

The "3km road" used as an airport runway is designed for much heavier loads than a normal road that accommodates cars. It's going to be far more expensive and take more time. But I get your point. A well funded project shouldn't take forever to complete.

I doubt cos autistic children are very smart.

Op needs to take him to a neuropsychologist for proper diagnosis or get him a therapist asap.

Autism is a spectrum, in some it makes them exceptional at one thing in particular while having adverse affects on other parts of their mental development, and in some they are simply like OP's brother.

On the other thread some guy was asking how much it'd cost to move his car from Lagos to Abuja, including "settling" fees. People were giving him advice and cost estimates there. Nigerians do not deserve a working country yet.

Does anyone know if all MTN monthly data plans merge together? For example, if I subscribe to the 75gb plan this month, and next month I do the 40gb plan, will my remaining data merge together or will they be seen as separate plans?

On Twitter they said they're no longer giving out these kind of cards. That the paper slip serves as your ID card now.

This is obviously hyperbole, I really hate Nigerian bloggers

op sounds just like R Kelly was described to be. you need professional help, nobody here can help you

If the owners of those buildings had hired geotechnical engineers to do a preliminary site investigation which would include slope stability analysis, they'd say it's too expensive. Now they risk losing everything. This is too bad.

5 million is the obvious choice. It won't stop him from finding another job.

Generally speaking, women are socially inclined. They evolved to effectively adapt to their surrounding to advance their status. By design, women assimilate towards social consensus (lifestyle), while men lean towards creating that consensus.

Women do better than men in language learning, cultural understanding, are community-oriented, bond easily and strongly, less competitive, more agreeable, and have a lesser tendency for violence. All these are a perfect recipe that makes women easily integrate into any society than men.

Lots of diasporan Nigerian men who went back home to pick a wife back to western countries learned this lesson when the women changed and are exactly like the western women they are running away from. Like the old saying, men marry women hoping they do not change (but they change), meanwhile, women marry men hoping they can change him (but he doesn't change).

The female basically waits at the finish line to roll with the winners and will integrate seamlessly into the lifestyle, and live happily, ever after. Easily. There is no such thing as a tip to dating Nigerian women abroad, since her behaviors is predictable, based on the context of the society where she domicile.

Interesting!

It's obvious that your submission isn't from an aristocratic POV regarding serving/setting food. A wife/woman - and vice versa, subject to schedule of the man - serving/setting food for her husband/man and tidying the table when he finishes eating, directly or indirectly, has neither been a sign of slavery nor a Nigerian/African thing alone. It's a simple act of selflessness, part of the little things that matter in a healthy marriage/relationship - it has always been done voluntarily and cheerfully. It has always been obtainable within the aristocratic families in the Western world, North America inclusive and the whole world. The command aspect of it you talked about is what I don't know, maybe that's what's obtainable among small-minded people, since altruism isn't their forte.

In fact, it's only the small-minded people who think that jettisoning acts of selflessness and humility as couples when they arrive in the Western world that make them belong. Wannabes. A woman who jettisons acts of selflessness and humility just because she wants to belong, is like a man who won't allow his wife to drive his vehicle at will, or spend his money at will, or save her from doing masculine and stressful things, all because of wokeness and equality. Wokeness and equality don't nullify selflessness and humility as attributes and reciprocation of them between a sane couple - too clever by half attitude doesn't denote wokeness, just as selflessness doesn't denote inequality or slavery.

Love is the greatest refreshment in life, it isn't an illusion - well, it's something only two conscientious people who have altruistic interest towards each can experience. 

I am very very happy you wrote this. It's wonderful. I'll probably refer to it whenever I feel hopeless on issues like marriage and the likes.

For one I don't lose interest if a girl I like shows interest in me. I'll be excited and con However, if a girl I don't like shows interest in me, I remain indifferent. At the very best I try to keep it cordial and polite without leading her on. The fact is that women do not know how to handle rejection.

I don't think Nigerian government officials are fully aware of how dangerous this disease is.

I pity this guy

I got the same email too. No money though

So you're saying in 2012 when we won the CL he was just 25? I find that kind of hard to believe lol.

I see "trends for you" which are trends based on the people you follow and things you like (Nigerian) even though you're in Canada. If it were otherwise it'd say "Canada Trends"

Hi,

Congratulations on your offer.

There isn't much to do right now than to wait and let this whole thing pass away. Hopefully, a vaccine or a remedy will be in the works soon.

Thanks. This pandemic really came at the wrong time. Guess I'll wait it out then.

Hey guys. I got a fully funded offer to a top school, and I'm really excited. Now the last hurdle for me is the whole VISA issue. For now the site says they're not booking appointments, and my I-20 form isn't even ready yet. I wanted to ask how other people with offers are preparing. If ther s anything you think I could do while this pandemic rages on to ensure I get through this stage.

Look how people are insulting your pops on the internet. Damn. I hope you've learned a thing or two about posting personal issues online.

I have to admit that this is a more balanced thread. At least she acknowledged what both parties get wrong. The original thread low-key felt like one of those women-bashing incel threads. Even the MGTOW movement had to split into factions because the mainstream part had been taken over by crybaby incel men. I like this.

I logged in just to leave a comment, and even though my opinion is just one among many, that was very very rude!

I want to game online on my PC and I'm tired of getting "symmetric NAT router" errors (Airtel and Glo) which sometimes don't let me connect to all users in the game. Using MTN doesn't even work, I just get a firewall error. What router can I buy to fix this issue? Affordable too, nothing fancy. I get these errors when I share hotspot from my phone.

Good day great intellectuals of Nairaland.

Overtime, I have seen people on this forum address issues on/for/about people with 2.2 and 3rd class and advice them on what to do next, however neglecting the 2.1 and 1st class category.

As a recent graduate, the future looks bleak. I would like matured advice on the next step and how to move forward from here. As you know, every decision at this point is quite critical.

I graduated from Mechanical Engineering department. Engineering professionals, your views are welcome here please.

Option 1:
Study for the GRE and TOEFL
Ace the exams, and start applying to American schools. A killer statement of purpose and top scores will get you a scholarship and you're out of here, sset yourself up from there. If you need more advice on this check out the nairaland USA students thread.

Option 2:
Find a well,or at least decently paying job in Nigeria, learn some programming skills for extra income and figure out how to incorporate both your engineering and programming skills together. Learning to code in this era opens 10x more opportunities for you.

Option 3:
Find a contract job in a university, either as a graduate assistant or lab technician. Either:

-Build on this for a career in academia
-Use the free time this job affords you to study for the FE Mechanical Exam (international engineering licensing exam) and pass, then use an agent to find a job abroad.

I'm in the same shoes as you, though I graduated with a first class, in Civil Engineering, and I'm simultaneously pursuing all options I listed above until one "opens up". All the best.

Pls i need a sincere advice here.

Im 3 months old in marriage and im so unhappy about the set up (my wife too)

My wife is a student and she tried everything to shift the marriage until easter this year but i refused due to many projects for the year. so we got married 3 months ago.

I took care of her bills since she got admission and we dated for 5 years

But she is so disrespectful and want to make important decisions in marriage which ive refused to allow.

Now, she claims i forced her into marriage and she is not mentally ready because i asked her to change to my family's name.

She has been good then bad then worse..And i think her words about forcing her into marriage has irreparably hurt me.

I spent over 3m of my cash to give her the wedding she wanted (Without any support from her family) against my wish for a 1m wedding.

And despite getting the big wedding she wants before consenting to marry last year, she claims she is not mentally ready and was forced into marriage.

she has repeated this over and over and its making me go crazy..in fact im tired already

Right now she wants more time to be a wife..but im beginning to feel there is a love issue here..I feel she does not love me as she always claims

Though weve settled but we dont talk as usual..we dont even want to hear from each other...

it seems i nolonger love her like i used to..And worst still, continuing with the marriage when she claims she was forced is degrading and disreputable.

My question is, at what point should anyone seriously consider a divorce?

A lot of people will advise you to break up. I would too, if you're convinced that you never want to get married again. But if starting a family is something you want, then I personally think that you'll have to make it work. You said you dated her for 5 years before getting married! 5 years! 5 years is enough time to study someone and decide if you want to spend the rest of your life with them. And you chose her. Honestly from the texts what I see is a case of gross miscommunication, the same thing that plagued my parents marriage even though they loved each other. Also, when married couples fight they sometimes say things they don't really mean. If you had siblings growing up you'll know that that's true. Not to talk of your own wife. Instead of talking to us, or your wife's sister, sit down and talk to HER. Strangers who have no stake in your marriage will fund it easy to comment and give advice (myself included) because they have no stake in it and will not suffer the consequences of your decisions. So talk to her! She's your partner, not your child. Your "better half". Key word: "half". Spend a whole day, even it takes from morning to night. Hold her hands and argue out every single thing you have bothering you about her her. Let her say hers too. Both of you will say things that make each other feel hurt, but still do it, and do not let go of her hands while arguing. Iron all your issues out and come to a compromise. And both of you should APOLOGIZE TO EACH OTHER!! It takes nothing to say sorry and yet, when someone genuinely apologizes to you, you naturally want to hear what they have to say. I really really hope you can work things out. Praying for both of you.

Image Laundering.

Next thing for Mompha is to run for a post, maybe takeover from Shina Peller (as they are from the same hometown)

Naija na big cruise.

Just have money, you go dey flex even inside problem.

No stress!

I was waiting for someone to say this. He's basically trying to deflect attention away from his criminality and change public the way the public perceives him.

BSS and IPOB are secessionist groups. Amotekun is a local security outfit mainly restricted to abandoned roads, forests, etc where kidnappers and hardened criminals hide. There's really no comparison. Whoever wrote this article isn't a very smart person.
