She might not see it as 9 yrs for all I care.
Besides, it's not how long you've been with someone, it's more of the quality of time you've actually spent together.

Very simple
You are too immature to be dating.
Give it nuff time and surely you'd be well ripe when the time comes.

Obvious How
Concluding from just hearing one side of the story
I must start filing all ma grievances at your court Judge Nayah

Nayah:
Jay bee these are semantic honey, some things are obvious  

I get your point though but being obvious doesn't necessarily mean it's the norm or it's always going to be the case.

What's the problemo?

^^^
Doing aiight.
You can't be sure cos you certainly don't have any classified Info from either the OP or the gyal in question.
Best u can do is to suspect madam.

Nayah:
emmatok yes but I'm sure I suspect physical aspect was not the big part of their relationship since he stayed with her 9 years so he could have focused on the other things he liked about her don't you think? Now yes sisters I totally agree always being on top to keep your husband's desire up

much better

hmmmmm

Emotional is far worse as effect of such tends to be permanent

Can you lot please carry your chit chats to the romance section chat room.
This thread is strictly for romance complaints

Can I lock the thread now?

They are probably more occupied with their hear say hogwash

phemi01:
Drainage or no Drainage, the roads are bad, Even if the sea level doesn't rise, you'll still have rivers on our roads due to pot holes. Your governor is not doing anything

Roads are bad because of?
Quality of job done by contractors or the actual traffic that the road carries daily?

coogar:
you have access to this date because you are in a position to have access to it. . . . .if you shop this information irresponsibly, you will go to jail! it's called "abusing a position of trust". you can read that up also as well.

My point is such data are shared between departments.
Not necessarily low numbers but can do if and when the need arise.

Eko Ile:
This has got to be the dumb.est nonsense ever.


You mean he gets the stick because he couldn't stop the rain or prevent the Atlantic ocean from rising and taking our rained water?

Laughable isn't it?
People just like joining the bandwagon without using basic common sense.
Yes lagos has drainage problems but the current flooding isn't the usual norm

JJM:
Trust me, forget data protection, govt agencies SHARE information. take it from someone who knows this first hand.

Yes we actually do
And it's very easy to find 'em NHS abusers.
I know this cos I have access to this data  

Gbenge 77:
He should invest his loot somewhere else.He should invest his loot somewhere else.

somewhere else
I thought by going ahead with his plan he had be contributing positively to the dire unemployment figures in Naij.

Do you prefer he stashes his loot in offshore accounts and in turn such countries using the stashed money to further develop their respective countries?

agitator:
All the pictures you posted can be classed as natural disasters as you will notice the water rose higher than the river banks but with Lagos situation it is still above the ocean level or are you saying the water is above the ocean level?

So lagos problem is a man made problem simply because the drainage system is either non existent or outdated?

What about the factor of lagos receiving more inches of rain than the norm? Ain't you going to classify that being an anomaly a natural disaster as well?

More ought to be done by the Government but every lagos resident does have the responsibility to help make the state better as well.
Fashola ain't no super hero and lagos being over-populated will need years of pain before it gets any better assuming they continue with the current reform trend

Will def be appreciated

Signal I mean, any irregularities, or otherwise. The question here is not if he had pre-arranged credit settlement with debtors, what I'm arguing is that the debt profile for this company was high enough for Mr. Tinubu to have even offered to pay such enormous amount. My point is that purchase to debt was really high, I would be expecting something a lot less lower.

I understand your point bro. I'd just prefer if you back up your claim with numbers. You know what they say about numbers, It sure doesn't lie

manny4life:
Make you laugh, I know right,

Dumb dumb, you don't have to be part of an M & A transaction to deduce if something will go wrong or not. For the record, quarterly reports of ANY company is posted on their website. According to Financial Accounting Standards and feds, financial reports of publicly traded companies are disclosed to the public or you can request if you wish. Stop acting like an ill , how can I blame you, you never gave me your PayPal address so I can give you $8 to get your "fish inventory" for your trade. Now, if u had the brains, somneone paying $200+million for a company with bad debts in billions not dollars but Naira, shouldn't that send a signal?

Precisely what kinda signal? What if he has re-arranged a more suitable repayment plan with its creditors?
We are talking about $200 million not naira and you sincerely believe any right thinking person will chuck all that into a drain?

manny4life:
I'm not asking for perception to cut it without hard facts; bottom line is you can see what is happening, someone obviously did not do their job right or did not do it at all. I'm no Astrophysicist, BUT common sense do tell some analyst that you can easily determine something using financial ratios. You paying $300+million, what is their asset to liability ratio? So what exactly are you such amount for?

Do you have this Info?

Eko Ile:
You sidewalk analysts sabi make me laugh sha.

What part of the deal were you part of or the sent you quarterly reports on the project so you know the ins and outs.


All these ill-informed ignorants sabi waka past their own lazy brains,

GBAM
Perception just wouldn't cut it without hard facts.

manny4life:
The company he paid $300+ to (bellview). His $300+ million is GONE, where does he want to get his money back from? In fact he is sinking more money into the company than he bought it for. That's a not-so-good scenario.



His an accountant, not a financial analyst or associate or an M & A expert. He wouldn't have noticed it but only on the surface. Company valuation goes more than just punching in numbers into calculator or better yet just plugging in number into Excel Spreadsheet. They have to identify potential risk factors and how to mitigate such risk which in this case he DID NOT do. Even me myself, I questioned this transaction because it did not add up. Bellview has a bad debt profile, it had a worse credit standing, so how the f/u/c/k do you pay 300+million for a bad company? Using pennies on the dollar principle, Bellview should be worth at least $10biilion or more for him to buy it at $300+million, but that is not the case. Bellview doesn't worth that much, so the question is WHAT HAPPENED?

Are you basically saying Tinubu will pay over $300 million for image rights a zilch assets? How is that even possible?
Pardon my ignorance

^^^^
Does that even make any sense?
Who is trying to finish who and how?

Boboedom:
but oga aganga, who has been benefiting from the salaries of the 43,000 ghost workers? what did you do about those that has been collecting the money, surely it must be a whooping sum from over the years-god knows how long. or the salaries of ghost workers are collected by ghost people too? naija go survive

State or federal?
Either way, how on earth is that part of a finance minister's JD?
SMH

Ever heard of Auditors?

chamber2:
I was reading the profile of the head of Economics dept of U.I (i can't remember his name) sometime ago, and i was shocked at the kind of resources this country is wasting.This man has both industry and academic experience, having worked in the US and then Africa.This is just one out of many.

I'm not disputing the fact that Nigeria with over 150 million peeps ain't going to be able to produce an egg head miles better than SLS in knowledge department. My question is do you honestly think all geeks will be natural born leaders? Be reminded that Nigeria is a country that nothing works according to plan and only guerrilla tactics delivers results in Naij.
Okonja Iweala/soludo alike was partly able to succeed with there respective championed policies cos we had an enabling environment at the time provided by none other than General OBJ before he started fighting an uphill task (3rd term agenda)

chamber2:
Available information has it that Mr. Mutalab, the father of the suicide bomber and former MD of first bank, was instrumental in the promotion of SLS and subsequent recommendation for the post of the CBN governor.So, what do you expect from a man who never worked himself up the ladder.It is said that whatever you don't work for is valued less and often discredited.This can be said of Sanusi's promotion, appointment, and mannerism as the CBN governor.

Any link to this claim of yours with particular emphasis on the CBN appointment?
Do we actually know how many peeps where being considered for the position before SLS was appointed. I'm only asking so i can convince myself that favouritism wasn't the order of the day at the time of the appointment.

chamber2:
Sir, in a country of over 150m people with over 70% literacy level, SLS is obviously not the best for us.

I definitely ain't doubting this.
I'm also from the school of having the best man for the Job but Nigeria as a country need achievers and guerillas not necessarily geeks. Besides SLS doesn't make all decisions by himself. I want to believe he has a board that works with him in determining policies that helps inform his decisions going forward.

chamber2:
Screening?I doubt if such word exist in Nigeria.What you need is just presidential blessing, screening can go to hell.

Well if it doesn't exist then surely that's what we ought to be fighting so this case doesn't keep repeating itself. We need a transparent process

^^^^^^^
So who is the best man/woman for the Job?
Why didn't they promote from within?
Why wasn't he screened appropriately?
What if he was what was needed at the time of that vacancy?

In answer to your questions,

1. Have you ever gone through the graduate recruitment exercises in the UK? Yes and I got numerous job rejections too. Yet I got my graduate job before I completed my final exam for my first degree in Computer Science.

I think i stressed the technical aspect. Most engineering graduate jobs which are relatively few due to UK being a relatively low manufacturing country requires you to have a top notch degree from red brick uni. I am not saying 100% for certain that people aren't going to be able to get jobs if they don't attend such schools but why take such risks when dude would be spending ridiculous amount of money to attend the course.
Besides, some of these non red-brick uni don't have a fully functioning career advisory department that invites ftse 100 companies for recruitment fairs. I am closely related to the engineering field and i have people close to me that have studied Petroleum Engineering.

beknown:
2. Do you realise that applicants get screened out cos they haven't attended a red brick university especially when it's a highly technical discipline? That is not true. I did not attend a Red brick university in the UK. I am now one of those who screen new graduates for my employer in the UK. Red brick or not, you can still fail to secure a job. Work hard in any university in the UK to score high grade and that is the secret.

High grade degree is not enough in the UK my friend. Dude is still a technical graduate and doesn't necessarily possess the much needed experience that might have propelled him ahead of other willing job seekers. If he attends a Uni with proven links to industries then he will most certainly be left with slightly better odds/options.

beknown:
3. Why would you advice someone to waste thousands of pounds only for them to add to the statistics? Different people have different motivation. While some people work hard to gain progress, others depend on other factors. If I can get an excellent job among UK nationals and other international people, there is nothing stopping anybody else from doing the same.

Fellow Nigerians, please do not expect to fail because somebody else failed. Your failure or success can depend on how much you put in.

No one is expecting or advising anyone to fail but statistics is gotta be looked at when making informed decisions.
The money that the dude will be shelling to undertake this course is best utilized in a uni/country that will help with greater ROI. At the end of the day that's why he wants to further is education.

@bountimore
If life is all about risk then surely we ought to be taking calculated risks.

chamber2:
You are obviously a clown.I mean, how did a fool like you manage to graduate from the university?[s]What empirical evidence do you have to suggest that islamic banking is the best for us?[/s]You are truly a mediocre.The only reference you could make was a group of traders in Osun state.How does that relate to the experience of other states and countries?You need statistics to believe what i am saying, just google it or are you lazy to do simple research even with your useless first class?Maybe, you think we will feel intimidated if you say you have a first class.

I could have sworn the idea is being promoted only as an ALTERNATIVE which off-course comes with the unequivocal choice stance

@Poster,

London South Bank University (LSBU) is a good university. Ignore the negative comments about the university. Work hard and be prepared to make your grades at LSBU.

The fact is that London South Bank University has greater population of foreign students. Does that make it bad? NO!

I work with highly regarded Nigerian professionals from London South Bank University in high profile companies and government departments in the UK.

The reality is that every university in the UK go through strict quality assurance process for all their courses. This is why degrees received from the UK are highly regarded around the world. Any course listed in Southbank University have been approved by the QAA in the UK.

I think UK government Quality Assurance is better than League tables. League tables have some bias, stereotype and unfair comparison to them.

See the evidence below and read for yourself:

You can compare with other universities and colleges too:

IF you have to leave your job to pursue a different career then at least give yourself a chance.
No point wasting money on a course that wouldn't get you anywhere.
