LesbianBoy:
I am first to comment sha!

I dont understand. DOES NAIRALAND GIVE MONETARY REWARD WHEN ONE IS THE FIRST TO COMMENT?

This is what "God bless your hustle" mantra leads to!

It is always good to speak from experience. When I opted to study English and Literary Studies some 25 years ago ,it was because Law in the university was cancelled the last minute. I endured it and graduated. On graduating and faced with the unpalatable reality that teaching was my only visible option ,I confessed my regret.My brother who heard me spoke prophetically that maybe there is something good in English that I didn't see.Today,24 years after, am still teaching English in an international school in Lagos and I can say I am a rich person because I have simply explored the opportunities that a typical lazy Nigerian teacher has failed to see;opportunties of time at your disposal and that of the simple fact that most children go to school in Nigeria. For English especially,most good hands leave the field for other so-called promising professions thereby leaving a few of us to be reaping the benefit and we are truly reaping the fruit of endurance and longevity .One of the simple ways to be successful in Nigeria that I have discovered is to stay in a particular field or profession,continually sharpen your skill in it and be creative. Also always look at the larger picture and be the best you can be in your chosen field..The best Youba Teacher is by far better than a dissatified SAN.WHATEVER YOUR HANDS FINDETH TO DO,DO I WITH ALL DILIGENCE. .

ismokeweed: That's none of my business.
Make I rush go buy agbo jedi jedi.

Unfortunately ,not funny!

UrbanMystique: yeah typical christians..

jesus watched him suffer and almost shit his bony ass to death, science came to the rescue, he gave thanks to jesus. smh

I know this must be coming from a Muslim or an atheist.They never believe in miracles,they only believe bin aajo!

When people do public display of emotion,especially guys,there is definitely something to hide.These people just make me laugh.They spend millions to stage a society wedding and give them so few months ,they are already embroiled in extra marital affairs,which tells me that any marriage not built on Christ is doomed to fail.

As a sequel to my earlier posting,there's a latest development. My father- in- law stormed our house unannounced today and I definitely knew the purpose. He went round and round coming to the conclusion that I allow my sister in law stay with us for some time.I stood my ground and he was about leaving,he gave the parting shot that the lady would stay with us.That was when I lost my cool,letting him know that he can only advise me, but not come and impose his decision on me in my own house.He felt offended that I was arrogant to have boasted that the house belongs to me.He left for his base.I tried apologising to him if I was rude,but frankly there were no ways to assert and express myself.

Chomzy19: Find an Apartment for her with or without her consent or notification; one saturday morning pack everything she has inside d booth, throw her inside the car and drive her to her new furnished house... Ofcourse before you do it tell her mum n dad dt is what you intend doing bt go ahead wit it wether they agree wit u or not

Very radical.Do I have the balls for this?

Her parents are aware.Her mother understand s every thing and has not bothered to even beg for her,but my father in law had pleaded on her behalf,but I told him to forget it.Moreover ,they are nor based in Lagos.

I frankly need your advice. There is my sister in law(junior sister) to my wife that has been living with us for 5 years now.She has reached a marriageable age of 36 and she doesn't seem interested in marriage. Apart from this ,she doesn't respect her sister,always at loggerheads with her up to the point of exchanging bitter words. I normally tried not to interfere but being a person who does' nt like b much noise round me,it wasn't easy . This December,she travelled to their place and I asked the sister to tell her not to come back that she would not be staying with us again.She thought I wasn't serious because she had begged me many times in the past that she would change all to no avail.

My challenge now is.She came back right and I told her point blank that she won't stay with us . She begged as usual,but I remained resolute. She has refused to leave my house claim ing she doesn't have where to go.I have even asked her to to get her own place that I would pay,but she just wants to stay with us ,please how how can I make her to leave.

You are very cheap!

Yes, Soyinka wickedly transformed another man's daughter to SHEPOPOTAMUS.[/quote]

He definitely makes a lot of sense.Jonathan holds a public position in trust for all of us and not for his family.Has Jonathan done anything for any one to defend him? Power supply remains poor and fight of curruption remains comatose.

afangide: Malaria Na strong sickness o! ...Mtcheeeeeew

please do all your mocking now when you have the time.

Frankly ,I am not the kind for sensationalism and that is not the purpose of this posting ,so I want only serious contributions from those that are spiritually discerning.

I saw this full page advert in today's Saturday Punch and I was literally boiling with undignation on the purpose of a Christian service for a woman that was never a Christian and had never contributed anything to the faith

2 Would this service suddenly transfer her from where she may be at the moment to Christian paradise?

3. Check out the array of Christian leaders gracing the occasion.What message are they passing to other christians? And what would they preach during the event?

In Nigeria,you have to boko haram,do militancy before you are heard.When even the people on the outside have not got what is due them ,what is the hope of those behind bars with no one to fight for them.?

[quote author=babyosisi]Wole Soyinka should be careful not to destroy the legacy he has built by involving himself in unsavory affairs.
The first time the Prof disappointed me was when he spoke in support of Patience Jonathan's perm sec appointment,now this.


Chinua Achebe was called the father and grandfather of African literature by others
He did not label himself that
People recognized his immeasurable contribution to African literature and bestowed on him that honor in his lifetime so it is quite petty for WS whom I respect a great to utter such words.
It makes him sound jealous and he should be above such pettiness.
Michael Jackson was called the King of Pop
Elvis was the King of Rock and Roll
Donna Summer was the Queen of Disco While Aretha Franklin is and remains the Queen of soul
That label on Chinua is deserving.


Secondly why speak about Chinua's Book in his death what you couldn't say while he was alive?
I love Soyinka but his words here are beneath a man of his calibre
Maybe old age is setting in
Still respect you sir but you disappoint me here once again

so sad.the internet has made commentaries on a specialized field like literature an all comers affairs.That explains why some people cannot correctly interpret a simple interview like this.

ebamma: You know he is a fool, when he is almost 60yrs old and calls himself charly Boy

you are right.only fools make money in Nigeria.

ib55: For a person that claims to be fighting corruption, where did he get the money to buy a bulletproof car.
Just asking!

Some level of naivety in your statement.The first criterion to be able to fight the scourge of curruption is to have conquered poverty yourself.Fawehinmi knew this and that explains why no smear of insult was rubbed on his name.

FineBro: WE GO CHOP STREET LIGHT?

Absolutely,WE GO CHOP STREET LIGHT!

Really mind blowing.A man that came before his time.No wonder he died so young-47.He seemed to be in so much hurry to achieve everything.

I asked a new married lady in my office what her name is and i was a bit taken aback when she gave me Mrs.. so and so without her real name.Is that the vogue now?

Havilah93: Okay.

We might not have played to our ultimate strengths in the group stages, but at this stage of the tournament, no team should be written off. We just might be in for a surprise

It is so sad.So it has turned to this? We are now playing to surprise!

berem: So because they are intelligent makes them wicked? na their fault say dem sabi book?

sadly ,you dont understand the sarcasm in the usage of 'wicked'.i do and i find it amusing.

meritdee: Don't forget that almost everything in Nigeria has been privatized.. So who are the ones coming to invest in nigeria? Are they not the foreigners?...
Any question can be asked. You could even be asked to state 5 different areas where you their company needs upgrade. They wanna know how well you know them....

even if there is no interview for you to attend,does it not add to your knowledge? Why do we judge everthing on the basis of immediate gratification?
