Are both parties binded by a mutual agreement?
Your toneage is one of confusion.
If you've had no prior discussions where you consented to engaging in a relationship. Then no you really aren't his girl.

Is there a problem with marrying whomever?
Are all men & women created equal so it(color, race, gender, [insert yours here]) shouldn't matter?
Is there familial/peer pressure to marry within your ethnicity/race?
Does location play a role in your decision?

Some Nigerians oversees may argue the difficulty in finding a true Nigerian guy/girl abroad worthy of their love.  (so they give up and marry whomever) - contrary others persevere and continue their search because they face possible rejection if they choose to marry just 'any person'.

i'm puzzled. I wouldn't go out on a limb and deem it wrong, but i'd prefer a nigerian woman.

yes tough indeed.
my brother was fortunately accepted to further his studies at a college of medicine in the states but his interview at the U.S. Embassy was haywire.

oooh how much it bleeds!
it feels good knowing that you actually tried.

Your choice to approach outweighs the rejection. Refusal to approach a lady by talking one's self out of it leads to the development of an unsettled conscience infected with 'what-ifs'.

How one chooses to react to the rejection is a different narrative. For me it's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me. lol.

Or Is It?

What arguments will you make for abortion being right or wrong.

Opinions welcomed, wanted, and most importantly -valued-

thank you.

FYI: I do realize the diversity of the topic, circumstances ranging from rape to [insert yours here].

not to ridicule or diminish from anybody's point of view.
i'll refrain from stating my status to prevent ad-hominems.

i must assert that this is an extemporaneous malign argument that can protrude for eternity as a result of the manner in which the thread initiator chose his phrasion of the question.

the topic can be extracted into several other categories that may lead to endless discussions (evidence present on prior pages). many of these discussions will cease to change the perspectives of an approximate 50% of the people engaged in the discussion and the reason is, they already have their minds made up.

the thread starter initiated the discussion to effuse various opinions. these varying opinions have mostly led to unnecessary and unwarranted spams, insults, attacks, textual outrage, [insert yours here].

My point is that no person(s) should be belittled for bringing forth their valued opinions.

I'd rather be good than lucky, but there are certain notions in life where luck is a necessity. Such is the case with the Nigerian Board of Education.
In all fairness, the misconstrued belief that only dull students attend polytechs is ludicrous.
If ever a system can be coined where polytech students can transfer as continuing students to more-advanced 4 year institutions after perhaps 2-3 years at polytechnics where the students are able to meet/complete core requirements in their chosen field of study.
The plan is to give students the ability to transfer to their schools of choice through transfer agreement plans. Much like the U.S. where CC students can transfer into prestigious universities.

It does seem however that the system of education as it stands in Nigeria is almost irreversible. Fixture is a daunting task but conversion of polytechs into Unis will solve nothing.

Sure it will lead to more admissions, but the cons outweigh the pros.

p.s. there are problems with my proposal but it was worth mentioning.

The University of Southern California (USC) offers online master's degrees in engineering. The classes, lectures, HWs, tests, and grades are replicas of the on-campus students, and you recieve a diploma when you graduate (there's no indication it was an online degree). So in that case the online degree is "worth" a try. See http://den.usc.edu

There are many strong schools with online degree programs. I recommend that students who are looking at online programs only look at those programs tied to universities with excellent off-line reputations. Some of the ones I'd recommend include:

Columbia University
Cornell University
University of Massachusetts at Amherst
Univeristy of Maryland
Carnegie Mellon
Rensellaer Polytechnic
Worcester Polytechnic

To sum it all up, you conduct your research in hopes of finding an accredited public/private school that offers a few online degree options.

Below is a link to some online engineering programs. If you feel the need, do call them for necessary information or satisfaction.

The top online Universities are the Universities which are not necessarily old, but established, and just so happen to have an online degree option for certain majors.

I'd suggest you call the university main office i.e. the admissions office if you have that number

There are indeed legitimate online degrees and many who earn them work cats&dogs for their diplomas/plaques at accredited institutions. I would however like to point out that an overwhelming percentage of online institutions are irreputable. Their bogus claims to help one earn a prestigious degree at an alarming pace(usually within 18 months) is preposterous and far-fetched.


"In 1999, Louisiana shut down Columbia State University, a notorious degree mill that advertised in prestigious publications such as "The Economist" that students could earn "legal, accredited" degrees in 27 days. It also had a professional looking Web site and brochure, which showed pictures of a beautiful campus and stately buildings. The "official seal" shown on Page 5 of the brochure was never an accrediting agency. Columbia State's real "administrative office" was mailbox No.231 at Mailboxes Etc. in Metairie, Louisiana."

In your scenario I'd lay emphasis on your residency and future plans.

The POST-UME entry examination is dual sided.  Arguments can be made for and against the screening process.  Many might argue that the process is a barbaric attempt to expunge money from students, but others can counter that notion by proclaiming that the afforementioned exam is an attempt to regulate a quote on quote "corrupted" UME exam.  I lean more towards the latter.  The exam gives institutions the power to monitor and control their test scores and admissions.  An acquaintance of mine who scored 285 when the UME results were released, took the POST-JAMB examination at LASU, and ended up garnering 18 'o' level points.  Her transcripts revealed an array of C5s and C6s.
The exam gives students hopes to re-assert/redeem themselves, it also provides proof on whether or not the student is indeed deserving and qualified for a spot in his/her university of choice.   

The corruption aspect of this hot-topic is a twisted affair that will make for an interesting discussion.
