EducationI Graduated With A 2.2, How Do I Become A University Lecturer? by IamDavid(op): 2:00pm On Oct 02, 2020
Hi people, I just graduated with a 2.2 in one of the sciences. (CGPA 3.3). I admit that was due to my carelessness. Recently, I have this strong ambition to become a university lecturer and rise to the peak of my career.

Now, these are my concerns. What are the chances of getting a lecturing job (after I might have gotten my PhD) considering the 2.2 Bsc result? Or it
doesn't matter once there are higher qualifications?

Is it worthwhile to sit for JAMB again and start all afresh? I'm still in my mid twenties and the drive is high. I know I can do it, but is it necessary / worth it?

Education is overrated. Even in the developed world, Sports and entertainment is more valued and appreciated than education. There is nothing anyone can do about it. Cry from now till the end of the world, it is what it is
Education is not overrated.

cry I'm so sorry David
I know what you passed through, especially someone u like, it's not easy David.
So sorry, please try get her back if u can and let her know u never took her for granted and on the contrary, let her understand u are not a simp either.

David please try, u know sometimes relationship is about communication and understanding. Please David.
I'm already on this path but I don't wanna push too hard else I'll lose out. In fact, I'm assuming she's gone, so that I'll be able to use my brain effectively and not necessarily emotions. She's the one putting more effort at the moment, but really, this moment made me realize there's so much more to life than relationships, especially for a youth in his twenties. Thanks for the concern bro, I appreciate you.

So sorry about this, if there is anything you learn from the relationship, what piece of advice would you give on relationship please?
I'm willing to learn
Of course I learnt a lot. Trust your partner but reserve that little percentage of doubt, in case things go south, you won't cry. Never express the doubt anyway. As a man, be on top of the relationship. In my case, I was initially on top for over a year, she's always the one chasing me more than I chase her, gradually I felt I wasn't treating her like a queen... I started being too nice. started calling her more than she called me, sent money, pampered her, gifts, visiting her more than she visits me, and gradually she fell out of love. I wanted to create a perfect and balanced relationship but in reality, someone must be on the advantage. It's better the man is in control/advantage, God designed it that way because ladies can't quite manage their emotions.

Treat her like a queen, but only once in a while. like......... almost rarely and unexpectedly. Let her pant for you, then give her the best you can. let her pant again....... then give her. Don't just keep loving and loving like a ful. don't say "I love you" every now and then, let your "I love you" be powerful/rare enough to make her night.

Read the red pill on nairaland, it will help.

Even with all these, even if you're rich enough, your relationship can still fail. Have that in mind and hope for the best! Cheers

kingemaker:
Good morning my NL people.

I usually don't do this but I've been forced to create this thread because my friend (a lady) needs my advice on the subject.

She met this cool dude about two years ago, they started dating after 2 months or thereabouts and everything has been fine with them.

Dude has a good career and she's also doing very well for herself. A couple of days back, she ran into some of his documents and realized that she is 5 years older than him shocked she confirmed this via a photocopy of his international passport, WAEC certificate and Jamb documents; his DOB was consistent in all.

I advised her to confront him, at least to hear his own part of the story (because I'm aware so many Nigerians tend to reduce their "official" ages). But she insisted that that wasn't the case because she remembered when her boyfriend's elder brother in the US once celebrated his birthday with a cake with "**** at 29" inscription. She saw the photos on IG late last year and she was confused but decided to shrug it off thinking it could be a mistake.

As of this moment, she feels the dude must be hiding some other things from her, she's so broken right now.

I'll be expecting your input guys.

I don't mind if you help push this to the promised land.

Thanks
We need to be careful before we advise everybody to break up their relationships because of every mistake. There's a high probability that this guy is using a consistently fake age for his education and career. The lady should reason along that line and find a subtle way to ask her boo (her reaction should be like "so that's what you can't tell me...all the best for you grin "wink. The guy will regret not telling her earlier and will trust her more. Nobody's perfect o

FamilyRe: How Does An Average Nigerian Youth Escape Poverty? by IamDavid(m): 12:18pm On Aug 25, 2020
There are basically five ways to success.

1. Riding on the works of sponsors. (Rich parents and relative who are able, willing and ready to help you whether you are good enough or not)

2. Excellence. Even in this Naira country, excellence still gets rewarded. Study medicine and graduate, have a first class in a relevant course, be extremely good with your skills, etc.

3. Luck. Even if you do nothing, luck can still pick you. Examples abound. Someone got a scholarship abroad after a leaked seex tape.

4. Fraud.

5. Any combination of the aforementioned.

Choose responsibly and don't forget that above any rule or convention, God has the final say.

Christianity EtcRe: BISHOP OYEDEPO: Is CAMA Policy Antichurch? by IamDavid(m): 6:32am On Aug 25, 2020
The government is not in the position to oversee religious organizations financial income and expenditures. Every fund received at the church, whether first fruit or tithe or offering, donation or development "levy" is freewill. The payer pays based on his relationship with God and his conviction. How is this the government's concern?

People shame churches all over the internet, yet, I've seen churches perform more charity than any other sect. Some churches print out their balance sheet at the end of every year, detailed, prepared by qualified professionals who has volunteered to do so.

Even in the worst case scenario, like the time a church I used to attend back then asked all members to empty their accounts to procure land for the church, is still hot enough reason to allow government's oversight. I simply left the church (More than half of us left). No noise. Some stayed without paying, some donated half of their account balance, I know some who dropped everything they had. All good.

I don't want to delve into the fact that the government in discussion is nothing to write home about. In fact, since it is coming from the "Nigerian Government" the whole agenda makes no sense.

You're wrong. Our government is grossly irresponsible but no government will charge it's citizens for basics like vaccine. It's highly unlikely.
