Jobs/VacanciesRe: Buhari Presidency Kicks Off Job Scheme For Half A Million Unemployed Graduates by ismart: 7:51am On Nov 21, 2016
razid:
They come online to rant and complain about the job of N30,000 per month while some of them have not earned up to that amount in their lives. Yet majority of them are checking their phones every seconds, checking their emails every minutes, already bookmarked the portal in their phones just to find out if they have been shortlisted. Still, they come online to form big man. Pathetic people.
Speak for yourself. No business minded person will take a job of 30k i tell you. That money is not even enough for me to spend in a week. I am still talking about 50k as not being enough, someone is shoving 30k to myself. What sort country is this?


I made as much as 400k last month on my own and already blew 250k of that money on house project.

WTF are u talking about? The problem is large scale ignorance and people do not realise yet that they can actually earn MORE than that, even 4X that amount.

Nigerians financial intelligence is the key please. Help people solve yearning problems and watch your bank account swell.

FamilyRe: How expensive is the bride price for ladies from Delta state by ismart: 4:12pm On Nov 18, 2016
donshaddow:
I'm sorry for trying to derail your thread.

I don't dislike Igbos... I'm not just a tribal bigots and I was trying to create an awareness for my ethnic group and not to be muscled up with the lager igbo ethnic.

People feel its the Ijaws, Itshekiris, Urhobos that made up the larger Delta....

I'm just trying to correct their impression that the Ukwuanis is the second largest ethnic group in Delta.

More so, the topic says igboid (having to do with language spoken by various groups)...

Check my initial response, I said Ukwuani is 90% igboid (Igbo Language)..... But we are so close to the ijaws and itshekiris.. We share same culture with them 90%.. Now you see what I mean!
In my view, I think language/dialect should be the sole determinant of one's lineage. If you people speak igbo language, which I believe the isekiris don't speak, why say you are not igbos? If you ask any other persons from Delta state, I mean the Urobos and co, they will refer to you as an igbo person. It's no news bro.

I have friend who is Anioma, igbo speaking region of Delta and he has never called himself non igbo. For the records, his name is Chike. His girlfriend was Isioma and the friend to his girlfriend whom I dated is Onyinye. If they do not tell you, and you are, for example from North, you will say they are Igbos.

Names and Dialect should be the determining factors.

RomanceRe: Ladies Lounge..life,love,dressing,food And Everything Ladylike.(season 2) by ismart: 9:11am On Oct 10, 2016
Hello Ladies, I need your insights into a friend's life.

He has this girl he really liked when they serve but didn't make move on time (one of those who do not rush when they really mean well for a lady) plus he was coming from nearby town.

According to him, another corper (living in same compound) took the chance to get into her and they dated all through service while this friend just looked from corner. He never stopped loving her each passing day. He took pictures and videos of her and she didn't know.

However, she later wasn't happy with the guy she dated (he changed after he got what he wanted) and one day told my friend he displeasure. Being that he had always had really love for her, he opened up.

He offered to start afresh with her after NYSC, even wanted to visit her at PH. She just didn't want to give him a chance.

Though a funny incidence occured when they were together alone and out of the blue, she told me friend to marry her. He still doesn't know why she did that. May due to fear or too much thinking, he has no idea. But same person later withdrew when he opened up.

But honestly speaking, this dude love this girl for her personalities.

She has good home skills and very pretty according to what my friend told me and picture he showed.

She just wouldn't let him. Whether it's because of what people will say, as in she dated one corper and now want to have another one or something.

Well, my friend persisted after NYSC and to just put him off, she announced that she has someone else.

This guy is a really nice guy, very romantic lol (his undoing) and he did help her do somethings when they serve where her then boyfriend didn't help.

According him she is 32 now but still wouldn't bulge. Last time she told him again few months back that she has someone and "it looks like it is working" when I heard the quote I was like a 32 still using "it looks like it is working" to describe her relationship? Which means no engagement, not certainty of getting married.

This guy told her that if by next year nothing happens, he will coming and pay the bride price lol. Not that he is rich but the dude gets thing done when he is very determined.

But further consultation with folks and he was told to let her go for his own good as it seems like a does not really like my friend.

From the look of the whole thing based on what my friend told me, the guy she dated when they served didn't treat her well. In fact he abused things she did and in a bid to please him, she displeased some folks.

Currently she is not certain if the one she has will marry her cos I see no reason why someone at her age will say "It looks like it working"

Does this mean that most ladies just make horrible choices? Her age, beauty and qualities should have had married by now BUT that isn't the case. How do you describe this? Isn't it clear something is wrong with they way she chooses whom she date?

Here is a guy who cared about her, she refuse. But wasted her time with one during NYSC and maybe wasting another currently.

My friend got really pissed when he showed me a text which he told her h called because he has been thinking of her. Her reply was "K"

Damn, dude responded to that 'K" a month later, gave her a piece of his mind and deleted her number.

In my life, I have never seen a 32 as stupid as this.

OBTsubtle said something that if ladies can observe, it would make life much easier for them. I know most didn't pay attention what OBTsubtle said but can you see it play out in what I just shared?

A girl is probably wasting away without realising it. Good men come in different ways it takes wisdom and smartness to see through.

Let me hear you

SAMBARRY:
exactly my point.

It's so unfortunate that good mother in laws have unfeeling daughter inlaws and the patience ozokwor monster inlaws have sweet and kind hearted daughter inlaws

if ismart aunty was a wicked and heartless moth in law I would have supported most of the female posters here

for crying out loud the lady is a mother and that makes her a potential mother in law. How will she feel if her son's wife treats her the way she's treating her child's grandmother

and by the way children follow their mothers behaviour. Its the way they see their mom behave to their paternal granny that's how they will be have towards her

a friend was telling me that anytime she scolds her son she will say waka.iya baba e.and so one day the paternal granma scolded the child for pouring food on the floor while eating she then said waka iya baba e to his paternal granma.of course she knew where the boy learnt that from and she carried her bag and left

of course that was the beginning of cold war between the 2
My dear, the jobless one dey him house now oo grin many nairalanders are from non-cultured home, no offense intended.

I am a Nigerian and an African, the whites, (whom many are emulating) can shove their teaching into their azz.

I have deep respect for my elders and wouldn't stand by and watch anyone treat a mother anyhow. That is me because mothers go through a lot to raise a kid and this my aunt isn't any different. In fact in my family, the women are like AMAZON. I am not saying this as an exaggeration. They take the lead in place of the fathers, even my mum was not different when she was alive.

In the end a daughter in law would not show any feelings to the woman who laboured day and night for her husband?

I left my base in Lagos and travelled back for function but left within 48 hours, the woman still called me and started praying for me on phone.

I wonder the kind of family some people came out from sha... where I come from, we are well bonded!

If something happens tomorrow (God forbid), this same people who tagged me jobless, stranger,home wrecker etc would call me heartless for not "HELPING" my cousin abi? Let's assume he got an accident and they called me to help with money for medical bills... which I refused and stated categorically that I am a stranger and therefore, it is not non of my business.... what would these same people call me?

Thanks to you too for taking your time to read and understand my comment. Actually, where things went wrong was when you are playing a double role. Next time, in a situation like this, whenever you are the OP, leave the judgement (comments) of the matter to the people, while you only respond to questions seeking for clarity on your original post. By this, you will be able to make some good decisions, you will hold on to some good matured advise, and discard the good-for-nothing and meaningless ones. Trying to play the two roles isn't the best option in most cases.

Have a lovely and wonderful day. Enjoy yourself.
Thanks. I see that doing anything meaningful for MIL is an abomination. What a life.

I am jobless because I decided to spare my time to cater for a loving aunt who isn't my mother in the first place. If she isn't my mother, what could have made me spend such a time with a heartless MIL?

What a life.

Joblessness gave me over million naira from virtual task.

It's so unfortunate that when you are not 9-5 person people think you are silly without realising that this is 21st century and technology has made so many things possible.

I gave an asset I own to a broker and we agreed on $3000 reserve and a $5000 Buy It Now tag.

That's what technology does.

So many jobs have be moved to China, India, Indonesia as a result of outsourced jobs lol.

Look at the thousands of Nigerians that have lost their jobs in recent months. Among those, a huge chunk of them, would feel the world has ended not knowing that with their skills and years of experience, people are willing to pay as much as $100-5000 at places like Upwork.com. depending on the task. And if you package yourself very well,.. You can earn over $5000 every month from home. There more place like this on the web.

I am on the verge of undergoing training from a guy I met here who does as much $3000-10,000 per job.

So many fools think everything has to be about sitting your ass on table from 9-5 before you can get money to do anything.

I don't belong to that school of thought.

I have turned 10k naira to 80k within 7 days in my life time and i have done this more than 20 times.

Life has gone past the 9-5 people.

Take away the job of many, take away every money in their bank account... I will beat them off the street!

I can be anywhere any time I want.

Thanks once again for your matured input.

talk2yommex2000:
Guy relax. There are some things you need to understand as a man. First, the way, tone and manner by which you present the case in the first place (i.e. ur original post) is sentimental. You have painted yourself and the family bad right from the beginning of your post. For you to have been mentioning things your cousin did for his wife-to-be (like the phone he bought for her, taking her to SA, getting her a car etc) sounds childish on your part. I must confess, the part of your post which says you've sent many ladies out of your life doesn't sound so good as well, especially taking cognizance of the fact that you are planning to send this lady out of your cousin's life too, despite having a child for him already.

Mind you, I am not supporting the said lady in any way, as (in my own opinion) nothing can justify why she can't be nice to her husband's family. She needs to be corrected on that. However, as a man you are, especially as an outsider when considering the union of your cousin and his wife (because it's now their family issue), you don't have to meddle so much in the affair. Truth be told, you know too much already which is not suppose to be. That the lady is bad, not a house material and the decision to leave is neither your responsibility nor your aunt's. Let the husband decides that.

I understand what you are pointing out here, but you need to know your boundary. Also, remember that the lady is from another family bring up. Mind you, what makes sense and acceptable in your family might not really be issue of relevance in other families even if both are same tribe. Just imagine if situations and conditions warrants that the lady in question travel out of the country, or if she works with the government in another state, will the family ask her to relocate or resign from her job to take care of your aunt? At least other means will be employed to ensure that your aunt gets what you wanted for her. I am not saying your sister in law shouldn't be corrected but you shouldn't have a hand in destroying the home of your cousin. There is no human being that is perfect, not even you or myself. What if you succeed in chasing this present one out and your cousin marry another lady taking care of the family but ruining your cousin in some other way. Remember that the marriage is theirs and not yours.

Conclusively, please leave the family (husband and wife) alone, and let them decide what's good for them. Wait till her husband starts complaining about her attitudes before you say she's not a house material. Your cousin might be so pleased with her for some reasons best known to him. Thank you so much as you heed my word. Remain blessed.
Thanks. I really appreciate the way you presented everything.

My apologies to every woman who may have felt hurt by my disposition.

The lady is not really a nice person but I don't think it's fair to demand that from her, kindness or niceness is something one decide on their own to give, if your cousin knows she's not kind and still decided he wants her, then that's his business, you have no place saying she is supposed to be kicked out.

Let your cousin make that decision on his own.

This lady came from a different background so you can't expect her to do what you expect her to do without you telling her. Please talk to her and get a maid for your aunt because this lady can't do all what you listed here alone and don't expect too much from her, please.
I just had to comment because I realised that there are so few "wife" around here and it's just complete waste engaging folks.

There seem to be a misconception in my writeup.

I didn't imply that she should become house help automatically. What mean is that she seem to lack complete home maintenance... The like that won't even collect a broom from her MIL if she saw her sweeping.

Come on people, is this how you guys treat your MIL or would like to be treated by your DIL?

There is what is expected of a wife to show she has proper home training. This girl is lacking in that department completely.

But since people here don't see anything wrong with such attitude, I do hope their future DIL treat them in same manner and even give them plates to wash or clothes to wash and fall back on bed watching movie. By then they will understand better.

To those who have been defending her act, do you go to your MIL's house, wake up in the morning and do absolutely nothing? You people should know that someone is reading what is posted and you might passing wrong message.

Can you swear that you have NEVER done anything in anyway to show your mother in law that you are well brought up or where you came from they don't have elders there?

Jehovah!

I rest my case.
