I understand your plight perfectly because I have been in same situation and I sought informed opinions on the way forward. Some of the things I learnt include but no limited to the following;
"NO" is not a bad answer and those who don't use it are never successful.
You can't satisfy everyone's need no matter how you try to.
If you run into financial crises, 99.9 percent of the people you are helping will move on immediately and less than a percent will ever call you again.
All of them will not die if you stop helping them today and you don't owe anyone an explanation on why you stopped.
Having said all that, I must admit that it is not so easy to stop but remember that some evils are necessary. E.g. It is a necessary evil that some people must die for others to live. So, anyway you look at it, you must stop trying NOT TO offend all beggers. My advice is tell your very close relatives that you have some challenges and ask them to bear with you. Most of you in the US are very broke and survive mainly on credits, so don't allow them to add to your problems |

When it comes to issues of marriage, love and compatibility becomes the two most important considerations. More so, the choice of a partner between these two ( single mother and childless divorcee ) has no generally acceptance preference as it is dependent on the individual's assessment criteria. However, in a situation where both have equal ratings aside their status, and maybe they were just victims of circumstance (lets say the single mother was a victim of circumstance like rape and the divorcee was unfortunate to have inadvertently married a man who already has wife or wives somewhere else) then I will prefer the divorcee for my brother. |

Find out what catches her fancy and try that. It's possible she really loves you but she might be shy. It sounds strange but some ladies are too shy not to initiate plays or play dirty with their husband. |

When true B.Sc/HND graduates are serious talking constructively fools like you are busy checking the "I" and the "t". I blaim Nigeria that is based on paper qualifications. It is even difficult to believe that you actually went to school. Which version of English is "BLAIM" found in? You still need Brighter Grammar. |

[color=#006600][/color] ayoolanr: Dude.....you ought to be ashamed of yourself.....your standard of measuring his intelligence is based on a FOREIGN standard. After-all English language is not our Mother tongue! What i am trying to say is this.......re-read his write up and you will see he has made a clear distinction as to when it is or not permissible to discriminate between the forms of qualification....It is implied when you focus a little bit more ....LOL...pele, i know it's not easy to use a large portion of our brains!!!!  This statement (English is not our Mother tongue) is disgusting. I remember vividly, the Patience Jonathan and Wole Soyinka saga and some human beings made the same statement. There is absolutely nothing wrong in using any language to communicate and there is nothing preventing the OP from using his mother tongue here. Aside insulting the intelligence of your audience, refusing to accept your errors and subsequently correcting them is even more infuriating. |

Op, please respect the intelligence of your fellow polytechnic graduates by correcting this DANGERIOUS to DANGEROUS. Please also note that your indirect insistence as regards the correctness of the spelling could be justifying the discrimination. Also note that nairaland has subscribers all over the world. |

Op, please modify your topic. Dangerious is not an English word. DANGEROUS is the right spelling. |
