IbileIfe: I am 30 years older than my wife and she was the one who insisted on our marriage after 10 years of ignoring her.
You have to be like, 60 for this statement to sound plausible and safe, because then you'd have been 50 and she 20 10 years ago, and just wedded her a few months ago.
If you're currently below 58, then you were tangling with a minor while being in your late 40s!
LegendHero: I don’t understand something. The statistics said literacy in any language, does it also mean almost 55%+ of their population cannot even read or write in Hausa too?
I do not believe that is possible for such huge numbers. If that is the case, then their matter is beyond redemption.
If you've tried to read and write in other languages, you will understand you need to be able to read and write in one language first, and the usual base language of literacy in Nigeria is English.
Abujaexpress: What career path do I advise for my daughter? Currently in J.S.S 1, she's so good at English language which has earned her several awards and commendations right from her primary school.
Although, this is her first examination at Faith Academy Secondary School, but she has started to draw the usual accolades and commendations both from her class teacher, particularly her English teacher who walked up to her in class to single her for praise as she scored 100% percent in English Language which the subject teacher acknowledged that the feat was unprecedented from her students.
In contrast, she is not as good in mathematics as she does in English language, which can be traced to the poor mathematics background from her previous schools, but I have made several arrangements to encourage her so that she can improve and get better in mathematics.
My career advice and counsel for her from the outset is for her to study Nursing or any discipline in the medical profession, but with this development, I am thinking otherwise, of she has to shift focus and major in Arts & humanities or to put extra more effort to proceed into the medical profession, particularly to become a Nurse or Doctor as we have envisaged and for which she has a strong passion.
Career advisor and Counsellors, come in and drop your expertise.
I was exactly like your daughter back when I was in Secondary School. Poor in Maths, or so I thought. Excellent in English.
I had A1 in English. P7 in Maths.
I left school, read on my own, wrote GCE and had an A3 in Maths. It was before the current grading system.
I cracked the code of Maths, which is simple: Constant Practice, and understanding of basic principles.
I went on to University and am now an Engineer.
My advice? JS 1 is too early to form an opinion about your daughter. Try to encourage her to practice math, and find ways to pique her interest in it, because, whatever her career choices are, math will be compulsory for her throughout secondary school. The worst thing you can do s let her believe she cannot be good in math from this early.
turmacs: Imagine the calibre of people governors be giving appointments. Goes to show the kind of people we have in power. Kidnapping and multiple murders? Haaa!!!
Anyways, Nairalanders if you love educational content, i just uploaded my first YouTube video, please check it out and tell me what you think
UltraSolid: It's an informal chat not bilateral trade talks or anything formal like that. Get over yourself. Some of you Nigerians are so emptily officious and arrogant.
Informal chat you say, like you were there and heard what was discussed, like the Indian girl was assiduously recording enquiries about Modi's wife and kids?
I just wonder when defending nonsense became a full-time job for some people.
UltraSolid: The black man and inferiority complex that leads him to seek validation and leadership from others. So "our man" must take note of a conversation between two leaders of sovereign nation to prove a point to you? If you had any sense, and are secure in your own skin, you'd know we don't have to do things how others do it.
Una do disco plus r and b for decade since the 80ties yet no recognition. It is Afrobeat, and singing in Yoruba, Igbo plus pidgin etal, that has now established Nigeria a global music giant with our artist selling out world-famous arenas like 02. Davido, Wizkid, Burna are far bigger giants than ruggedman, Chris Okotie, Felix liberty, Psquare etal
Nigga, learn to do your thing and the world will appreciate that about you instead of thinking you must follow others blindly.
What are you saying?
A meeting between leaders of two huge nations, and the things being said should not be noted?
Wait, are you trying to say the Nincompoop just sitting there is right, and the hardworking girl is wrong?
What are you saying, gaaan?
Anyway, maybe the guy wan block de Indian babe later to borrow her ''handout'', as students dey do for University.
booblacain: This is not exactly a Tinubu's government issue. This is just the way we are as a people. That is why when the rest of the world were documenting and writing down their histories, we were over here telling folk tales to our children.
This one will also come out of that meeting to tell us folk tales.
You don't speak for us all, o.
Personally, when I attend a meeting, even though I'm not the secretary, my paper dey full with notes.
Why not operate directly, in tandem with CBN, and through an open bid system, award jobs to contractors and monitor such projects through the Project Monitoring Unit (PMU) or a Due Process agency set up by them?
The funny thing corrupt Nigerian officials don't know is, you can't steal World Bank's money. They will always recover it if it's not used as intended.
igbosarejews: He should us it and stop threatening the world let's see. He equally knows that lots of NATO submarines,are in the black sea, fully loaded with Nukes. USA's 188th airborne fleet over there as well, with their counter nuclear strike group
The other day US, tested it's nuclear capable Ballistic missiles, the Minute man.
You sound knowledgeable enough to have heard of "Mutually Assured Destruction" (MAD).
If any war escalates into the use of nukes, the whole world will feel the impact.
Who says the fallout can't come down in Nigeria as radioactive rain, killing people, poisoning our water, wiping out our crops and livestock?
Instead of supporting one side, we better pray for peace.
Naijjablog: Never have i seen someone so retarded as Biden, old man wants force us to WWIII by force by fire.
Trump should jail that mf!
He's a puppet o the warmongering Deep State.
Kamala would've been an even bigger puppet, which is why they were tryna force her down the people's throats.
When that didn't work, they resorted to the biggest illegality in the history of elections: non-requirement of means of identification to vote! That was how she even managed to get the votes she did.
A Kamala presidency would have sent the US down a dark tunnel.
God1000: It's so nice to see an adult graciously conceding instead of a man sized toddler calling all his followers to revolt because he didn't win.
However, I wouldn't have done that If I were Biden, too much of ethical behavior is affecting the democrats, the current generation of americans don't care much about morality
Let me inform you that there is an ongoing investigation on how the media edited Trump's speeches and Nancy Pelosi compromised security at Congress to both cause the Jan 6 incident and allow it to escalate.
Of course, the media are not reporting it, but it's going on YouTube!
No wonder the Dems hate Social Media and want to stamp it out or control it. Just search for "John Kerry speaks about Social Media" on YT and see for yourself.
Search for all the other things I've said, for a fact-check.
BItt: Not everyone can perform certain activities under stress or pressure. Nobody wakes up on day and become a PhD student.
You want to check teachers quality without paying them well enough to have a better life and happiness in this rough Nigeria.
Why not ask the right questions?
Like, how did he scale Secondary School, First and Second Degrees without being able to properly write his name? Something he ought to have been able to do from Grade 1 in primary school?
If the problem was teachers and their pay, is it also responsible for a semiliterate person holding a Master's Degree?
Meanwhile, just ignore all the metrics that say otherwise, like loss of jobs, runaway inflation, insecurity/astronomical crime rate, and general hardship/poor quality of citizens' lives.
It's only Obi people that are bitter enough to admit that all is not well.
ify2016: Some of una funny o. Despite the fact that Harris is current vice President, US cannot compromise their stand in committeee of big 5. Considering current US threat from Russia, Americans cannot fold their hands and allow sovereignty of powerful nation to be in jeopardy without considering their own fearless son Trump.
Though, many illegal immigrants will be affected by the policy of massive deportation but his intention is to restore more sanity in the system.
No mind dem.....na freedom to abort, dress like woman and fhuck yarnsh be better government for dem.
happney65: When politicians don't have anything good to offer. They resort to tribal and religious sentiments.
We are saying Tinubu is not a good President, you are saying he is the apple of the people of the people of the SW and he must not be spoken to anyhow.
I guess Obasanjo was from Burundi when people used to abuse him then.
It is only when they don't have anything reasonable to offer they make it look tribal.
Like Okupe,Like APC,Like Trump. Birds of the same feather
Trump?
How?
Who said "if you don't support me, YOU AIN'T BLACK?" Trump, or Biden?
Whose running around, calling others "garbage"?
Trump, or Biden?
Who's calling the other candidate a "Nazi", a "Fascist"?
Trump, or Kamala?
Anyway, it doesn't even matter........the worst POTUS is miles ahead of Tinubu.
madone: The people that led them to this protest are not in the picture. The ones that gave them flags are far gone. The naive will always suffer. The people lying to Tinubu should not stop ooo. Lets not forget that uneducated 10years=14years old boys were arrested for treason in 2024 in Nigeria
They were not arrested when they lined up to vote for him in large numbers, o!
efemena5050: u be fool go back and watch the video slowly u will understand the persons message u just quoted instead of insulting him
Now let me help u.....the foolish proud bolt driver came to the house with the consignment seeing the albino outside he taught he was someone he can order around as per say him dey drive Toyota Corolla na ( bolt drivers with empty pride) unknowing to him the person he taught was no body was actually a senator........the senator was even calm on him....he would have called his security and dogs on the disrespectful idiot .....
Now if u must reply this....u better think we'll otherwise I'll tell u where and how ur mother gave birth to u
