shege45:
Let me tell you guys a brief story.
When i was in secondary school, i was the best student in my class. I was so good that I represented my school in any competition held.

Going to university, i still had that flare. I was still very serious. I read like a mad person , but due to some factors , my gp was really bad in yr 2 and 3. Regardless of the fact that I studied hard. Other years were good but it was unfortunate i came out with a 2.2 degree. If a degrees were to be given according to your level of seriousness, I would have made a first class.

However, i came out of school thinking that atleast its not like 2.2 is a bad result, It’s average. I tried looking for a job, but everywhere says minimum 2.1. I had to settle for a teaching job which i still do now. I have given up on looking for job because everyone says the same thing. 2.2 has made me believe i am no longer intelligent. People in my family, my friends , my colleagues at work all believe that i am intelligent. But my degree tells me otherwise.

Now here is what saddens me. A friend of mine whom i knew i was better than academically back in school posted a picture of a car given to him by his employer. He came out with a 2.1 (p:s he got that job without knowing anyone in the company,he saw it online and applied).Everyone in the department knew how he always passed his exams. Although i am genuinely happy for him, but I am sad for myself. Do employers think that we 2.2 graduates are totally worthless? Coming out with 2.1 is a nice achievement and many people who got it worked really hard for it but many factors can make a bright student come out with 2.2. I have been teaching for three years now and I sometimes ask myself, would I continue like this? I don’t want to be like some of my colleagues who are way older than i am and still teaching. I am 25.

An advice to people in universities. Do any thing you can to come out with a 2.1. Don’t let that no job thing fool you. Read , cheat or buy 2.1, but do whatever it takes to come out with it. Get it first then listen to the no job story because your story can actually change with it. As for 2.2, there is actually no job unless you have somebody somewhere.

E remain tiny small for you to make sense.

You started well but ended badly when you advocated for mediocrity by telling people to cheat or buy 2:1. As for the 129 people that liked that post, when a doctor that bought his certificate descends on you, then we will count scores.

Op you didn't even tell them to target first, you reduced it to 2:1, which I believed you targeted 2:1 but fell to 2:2.

These head slammers took it to all time levels.

In another news: Islamabad.

tempusfugit:
So you prefer to make life difficult for your kids because you re afraid

Define difficult? Do you think I will birth children I can't cater for?

tempusfugit:
Lol Nigeria is even better, go to countries like Senegal, Mali you would cry for Africa!!!! For me one kid is very okay, isn't important quantity but quality, I prefer to give one naira to one child instead of sharing the one naira between 5 children. Imagine you re on holiday with 5 kids, lol that one nor be holiday again but 24 hours job.. Life is too short to get stressed

The disadvantage is when that 1 dies when you are 65 and wife 59.

erifeoluwasimi:
That one no vex me at all. The one way vex me pass be say they will see me and tease me"madam this your boy suppose don get younger one o" and evening time they will come and be begging me for cup of rice.
One was telling me that why will I go for family planning if I am not cheating on my husband.
Nigerians women especially need reorientation

Family planning is a joint venture.

The one that pains most is where a woman ties herself without the man's consent leaving him frustrated.

When he finds out, don't blame him for divorce.

Mypeople2:
My guy, you mean he should be paying 20k to a babe from his salary of 50k? Which kind work she dey do for am to warrant 40% of his salary ?

Its not about what I mean but the reality on ground. She may not ask for the #20 000 directly but somehow by the time you calculate how much have left your hand ontop her matter you will understand.

Barrywhite15:
Which state are you working, if its lagos, Abuja,porthar don't try it mind you if your fiance understand you like my wife you are good to go,I married my wife when my salary is 15000 now I'm collecting 30000 and we are living a comfortable life

How? Is she working?

Riele:


I meant he should have a house of his own maybe rent one .

He can't marry a woman into a house shared with a friend .

For your second question , Get some sense.

Your mouth will soon put you for corner. Continue.

lovat:
You are advising him to own a house before settling down? His salary is 50k today and to own a house he will need to work for the next twenty years without doing any expenses.


Are you not the Tata abi Pikin that her thread graced Fp? Stop giving kids advice because other people are trying to learn something meaningful

Aptly said. Na small pikin dey worry her.

Riele:


Okay .

Seems you have sense because most nairalanders your age and even older than you are still spreading their decayed sem*n and consoling themselves with the excuse of being on redpill overdose .

My advice :- plan your life first and maybe own a house before settling down .

Did your father own a house before he married your mum?

With this advice, very few will marry.

Ahamefuna0001:


At this stage of my life how will I date or friend a girl whom I don't have any intentions of marrying and starting a family with.

To me girlfriend and fiancée are same.. unless you're referring to teenagers girlfriend and boyfriend relationship which has no future.

She's not a fiancee until you put a ring on her finger; hoping you don't make her, lord of the rings.

Waterview:
Hustle more hustle more hustle more.

This is the problem with Nigerians, we chase money a lot, that's why it'll be very hard to see a selfless politician, greediness has eaten deep into our system no thanks to our barbaric culture.
I made a mistake when I was in Sec. School which am still regretting till today; I couldn't find love in Sec school, it good to find somebody you'll love unconditionally (vice versa) at a very tender age.

Op you need to find someone now, it might be too late to see true love when you turns 30+, find someone that both of you will grow (in love) together.

Don't listen to the ones shouting hustle more above.

50k is not too small, at least you talking about relationship not marriage.

I don talk my own.

You think that if you had fallen in love in secondary school, that the girl will wait for you to establish?

You dey on a long tin.

Ahamefuna0001:
Matured minds please.

I'm a 25years old guy who who just completed my NYSC and got a job which pays me 50K monthly salary. I paired with a colleague at work to rent a single room self contain.

I have this mixed feeling that am over due to have a fiancée. I don't know if this feeling is wrong. I'm I good to have a serious girlfriend or fiancée at this stage of my life?

I will advise you like my junior brother.

First of all: take a deep breath.

Good. Congratulations first of all on your new job.

Let's get down to the basics. Its from clap, that a dance starts. Do you have a close girlfriend at the moment?

Do you intend to marry within 2 years from now? If not I don't think you need a fiancee. Reason being that its a liability. Majority of the Nigerian females take relationship as a career where they are entitled to salary. So how much will you be paying her monthly? #20k?
That leaves you with #30k, how about that?
Its irrelevant whether she's working or not because she will still be expecting something from you.

I believe I have answered your question.

Typhoonsbane:

Superstitious bile,how can an educated fellow think like this,he is going to die because he dreamt of a dead person. I understand we're African but it's time we begin to reason like complete human beings that has evolve.

What you don't know is bigger than you.
Sometimes its better to just read comments in matters like this.

Stillthebest:


We live in a mysterious existence that no man can understand the formation.

You might just need to tell him whenever you see him again never to come again.

Same thing happened to me severally when I lost a close friend. He always was looking up to me so much and we loved each other alot. Suddenly, Close friends in his shop killed him on his way home because they thought he was going home with some money he had made in his POS business(was doing well).

For months I kept seeing him everyday to the point I was scared. Kept coming sometimes he would talk, played with, some other time he would be going alone without talk to us or replied. He would appear so angry and unhappy.

I was forced during one dream, one day to tell him to pls never come back he should go and rest. I told him justice would be done to his killers(already arrested the killers then).

That's the the last day I saw him in my dream except once in a blue moon...
Sometimes it is not harmful but not good to be too much.

Seems like you have control over your actions in dreams.

My dreams are usually blurred and I can't control the actions. Should I be worried?

Although its been long I dreamt.

fergie001:

It's department and supervisor-dependent.

For your thesis, start on time ans be a friend to your Supervisor (very very important). Course work takes approximately 12-15 months (averagely), and overall 18-20months, if there are no strikes or distractions.

I must confess that some departments na wahala, some are just not stressful.

Your proposal, seminar, internal, external.

Seminar is usually Dec same year, at most (if I can remember)

Internal is like 2 or 3 weeks before the external (usually Feb/early mar)

How does wes verification work?

Danwakae:





Na dust full your brain I don't expect u to understand, I can see the reason for your backward advice

This is not necessary Sir. We are here to learn from each other not fight. Thanks.

fergie001:

Go to UI...
WhenI I applied for MSc, I did for both schools you mentioned and got it....but UI is miles ahead of unizik in everything;
I have colleagues who went to NAU, same time and stayed there a year or so, after I was long gone with higher fees ooooo.
In terms of absorption, my brother forget, in UI...depending on the department if you finish excitingly well and register for PhD immediately.... Then perhaps do two years+, it's not even a guarantee.

Get the MSc first bro....

What are the levels of defense in masters at ui and how can one ace his thesis. God bless you sir.

Mrsprissy:
Good evening my brothers and sisters in the house. First , I am not a troll . I've been a member on NL since 2008 and am very active, but I prefer using a new account for my story to seek advice and also learn from other experienced people in this great group. On christmas day hubby and I were invited to attend a special dinner at his friend's house and I picked a nice outfit for him to wear on the day, he wore another outfit a t shirt and jeans his every day clothes so I asked him politely to go and change, he got angry at me and told me to keep quiet and he went inside.

He was in our room for an hour while the kids and I were still waiting for him , I even sent the kids in their room to play , he later came out he only changed his top but didnt changed the trousers and trainers , I have decided not to say anything for peace to reign , so as we were leaving , I asked him if we could take a family picture, he just snapped and slapped me and started beating me up so badly, he only stopped because my children were screaming and crying for him to stop.
I am so pained because before the incident happened, we were fine , no quarrel at all , I just dont understand his reasons for beating me like this and I swear to God , I didnt say something to make him this angry, he left me there and went out , his friend later called to know if we were still coming because he couldn't reached hubby on the phone , I told him we are coming.
I cleaned myself ,change my clothes and I left with the kids to.his friend house , to my surprised he was already there , we acted like everything was normal and I tried hard to stop tears coming because I was in pained.

For the past 3 days he has been acting as if I did wronged him, he doesn't talk to me, he doesn't eat my foods and he left the room and he is now sleeping in our son room. I just don't know what to do again

Next time, tell him to wear pampars because its obvious he's a baby literally.

That said, there's a difference between what we say and how people view it. Maybe he's having a wrong interpretation of what you say because he may feel the picture was to mock him or that you are commanding him or taking charge.

That's not enough reason to beat you nor any other reason whatsoever.

You should let him know firmly that he must NEVER lay his hands again to beat you. If he does, report him to welfare.

TUANKU:
But buhari/apc supporters are too blind with sentiment to see this till it's too late by then they will become victims of the same man they supported blindly.

There's a reason they are called 'zombies'.

The painful part is that borrowing is not geared to business or investment but wasteful expenditure like #37 billion to furnish senators offices.

superlanny:
The only AK-47 I ever want to hold, will be mine and it will be for protection against robbers like these, and for stupid boys chasing my daughter, God will bless her, it will now be an ipob, I will blow his head off.

Let love lead. Finally your daughter will fall in love with an Igbo boy.

Michellekabod2:
I am not going to create another moniker for this,i owe no one nothing!

I have spent most of my life single. I tried linking up with people but to no avail. Why? I will not do the blame game here. Is all my fault. I meet someone, get heed over heels for the person but I lose interest easily. When it comes to commitment, when the friendship is to get to the next level I ghost them. I don't know why. At best out of the blue I lose interest and become blank, not returning calls or replying messages, at worst I become disgusted at the fellow for no reason at all then move one to the next male friend. Nothing serious comes out of it...

So I decided to give up trying. My female friends and I go on an outing, some guys approach us and get our numbers. Months (sometimes years) later they are still waxing strong with the males, one of them even got married to one of them. But me? After a couple of weeks I find myself having to ghost the guy that I was head over heels for.

I gave up on love and chose to be single. I have been single for years now.

I met this guy march this year,we bonded like never before. I have never in my entire life felt like this before. It is so strange that each conversation we have all seems anew like we are starting all over.

It's almost ten months and the fire is still intense.
I have never had such a long friendship with a male. People assume we are dating. He gives me so much JOY... He is so awesome, different from all the others i have known. He changed me.

I just figured out i want to end the friendship, I don't know why. I am tired. I want to walk away. The passion is still there but i want to be away. I wanted to get a new SIM but my conscience will not. What has kept me from doing this is because i wonder how he will feel..

I want to walk away. Will i regret this?

Three things are involved.

Its either you are a witch, ogbanje or you have a spiritual husband.

Oya choose one.

They should tell him to stop playing in England too since he is being paid by Christians

Their level of hypocrisy stinks including those of the confused lots here.

These islamists get serious problems.
