ChybuzzDD:
Where did you get this 50% rate of infection from

This is far far far from the truth

That quoted metric is figurative. I know it's not 100% certain you contract the virus everytime you copulate with a carrier.

Hezzyluv:
Why blur the guy,s face

Probably because there's an active investigation ongoing.

Ihee01:
Use a sound lawyer and follow her. She will pay through her nose.

Assuming she wins the case, how much will she recoup?

#80k?

20k for lawyer? who knows how much for transportation and the lengthy period before a verdict is reached at both high and appeal court?

Maybe customary court will be better.

She better go the street way or count her losses.

FarSide:
My past is seriously hunting me. In the past 4 years I've had unprotected sex with 12 girls. Now I want to get married and my girlfriend is insisting on HIV test first.
All these while I never did any HIV test, I never felt it's important to do it and I never had any known symptoms of HIV.
Since she requested for the test, I've been postponing it citing busy schedules and all that but deep down I'm just damn frightened.
Can it be possible to have sex with 12 girls and still not get HIV? The thing is seriously giving me sleepless night.
I'm planning on going for a test myself alone, then if it's negative, I will then go with her but if not, I will just japa

Go to a far away anonymous hospital and do the test. If anything, the result is only known to you.

HIV prevalence is 2.1%. Those are really slim odds of meeting someone with one besides the rate of infection is about 50% when you go unprotected with a carrier (except you've been dealing with high risk individuals)

Either way, it's for your own peace of mind. You'd confirm you're truly negative or you take it in good fate and start treatment.

There's no loss in a taking a test.

Timagex:
Collectors item right there.

Not many people will value this ride here in Nigeria.

Collect for what exactly? Same car a spare part dealer advertised to me for #400k few years back? This is at best a 1999/2000 / series. The car is not as popular as the 2004 S-Class and a good condition Toks S-class won't even sell for that price.

Someone hired you, put a roof over your head with a good bed, gives you cash and food much more than your job pays. Also allows you to have your breaks as needed. In short a balanced life just for sleeping, waking and cleaning the compound. Yet you blame him for how you manage your life and finances.

He didn't force you to stay there or collect money or food. If you don't have money, will you eat as much as you do? Do you know how other employees in your company in other places are faring?

You are exhibiting typical signs of a poverty mindset. You get small money/comfort/opportunity and start misbehaving; claiming you deserve more. How much have you earned, you are already eating 25k in 1 week and plan to buy a big phone and open POS.

Leave that job and poverty will romance you once again. Were you using your destiny effectively when you were on your own? Or does destiny mean sitting somewhere and money will be coming? You better follow the one that can utilize your destiny for you and give you some of its benefits.

Why do people keeping this? The western culture is not socially isolated if you don't want it to be. There are places westerners can go to socialize. And there are clubs that cater to Nigerian music.


She is complaining of loneliness because she isn't fully integrated and doesn't understand the system yet

Not to drag this issue and I'm not in Canada as well so I can't say I understand the specific context but the same clubs that cater to Nigerian music and the like, isn't it Africans like yourself you meet there? She complained about sharing an apartment with someone she can't even talk to.

Invite fellow Nigerians to hangouts and 8 out of ten times, they will ghost because they have to go to work even on weekends. Should we party on Mondays then?

I'm not hating but e get as e be.

I agree however that once she blends in some more, she'd be fine.

Kobojunkie:
You lied about western culture being isolated. It is far from that. The problem is the African upbringing does not readily train people to mingle easily with people from other cultures and races. Yes, there is a racist aspect to the average Nigerian that hinders socialization with people of other nations and races. And that is highly likely why this woman, though surrounded by so many people, believes she has to cry in silence and alone.

While it may not be so isolated, it is not as liberal as you describe. It's part of the culture shock on how everyone stands for themselves even if you're so open and social.

The fault is not entirely on her. I believe you may have friends from other races but I won't believe you bond as easily as you would with Nigerians in Nigeria.

If I'm wrong, we won't be seeing indians and orientals huddling respectively in cliques as well.

Kobojunkie:
1. Stop lying! Nothing like isolation in western culture. The problem is instead that many of us aren't as social as we always claim to be. Nigerians and other Africans simple have a hard time mingling with people from other cultures and countries. Go anywhere here and you find them all needing to hurdle together to socialize. The few that are able to break free of that problem enjoy the west as much as they want to.

2. She is keeping to herself because she is having a hard time opening up and mingling with others as they are. This is typical here with Africans.

I agree with you. I won't agree I'm lying though, we just see this issue from different perspectives.

I feel sorry for her. It's so bad especially when you're coming from a socially vibrant place like Nigeria.

The western culture is so isolated. Hello, Hi and that's all. Anyone you take as a friend is just for drinks/party o, if you assume any other type of attachment, you're on your own except it's your nuclear family.

What I don't understand is why people act like it is okay to live that way. Even Africans keeping to themselves like the whites only to get to their rooms and cry out of boredom. Because nothing can come close to true friendship, not Netflix not studies not work.

She should try to visit Naija every year. Spend at least two weeks greeting and gyrating with family and friends, chop suya and drink our cheap beer. Enter club and shake body, not all that Tecno electro music.

[quote author=BunbleBee post=126461217][/quote]I won't bore you with long talk but what I'd say is from experience.

You will hardly find a job role that you're happy doing. You will eventually get tired of the monotony, office politics and even your wages after a while. Why? It's simply because companies do not give 2 cents about you or your passions no matter how much they talk about their social values and how they value their employees. Companies only want employees that improve their profit figures.

You can't get it in business as well because your client is your boss and you'd do what they want or you'd run out of business.

You can only follow passion when you have so much you don't need to rely on anyone ever again. And how do you do that?

Make as much money as you can right from yesterday. The earlier you hit your monetary value where you can't go broke again, the better for you. Everyone has their idea of this sum but for me it's a million USD.

If you earn 10% of $1.2m every year by stuffing your money in a hedge fund or something, you can live comfortably anywhere in the world on a salary of $10,000 per month doing absolutely nothing but following your passion.

Not to beat a dead horse but the universities on ground are still on wobbly feet yet the administration is proposing new ones. Opening more institutions that'd be going on strike every 6 months.

There's nothing bad in having just 12 well funded and top tier universities in the country. Convert the rest to technical schools and research centers.

Raise the academic standards that only the best of geniuses gain admissions. Let the rest learn practical trade and business skills and establish businesses we are in dire need of.

That will mop up our vast population that is largely unemployed and close up the our demand-skill deficit.

Heishumble:
Greetings, hopefully this plea meets you well and in sterling wellbeing.

I'm Hussein Muhammad a 28 year old with a brother Named Yusuf Hussein looking for shelter and job opportunity in Ibadan.

I have polystyrene ceiling, painting, and wall screeding as handwork and my younger brother have graphic design as handwork.

We both reside in Abuja, but we just relocated to Oyo now where our mum built her house.

We came to her so as to be closer and be in her service because we don't see much patronage in our services in Abuja that would have aided us in visiting her regularly.

And also our other elder siblings have just what is enough to cater for their immediate needs and that's it.

Hence why I'm here to beg on behalf of two of us from good and well meaning people to help us find some footing in Ibadan and be stable.

Please we need shelter, foodstuffs, and job connections for our services listed above in Ibadan.

We can be reached on this line 09017482345 or get to meet us at our physical location at Mokola Ibadan to get to know us.

May you never suffer any tribulations or hunger. Ameen.

And I wish more prosperity and long healthy life to serenely enjoy the fruits of your labour.

Best regards ✨.

Mokola is a good location for your brother who is into graphic design. he should go to Uncle Joe and hustle up, he`d find clients. He may have to hold on sourcing for design contracts in the meantime and see if he could try his hands at more physical jobs like lithography, paper trimming etc.

For screening and other jobs, this is usually a networking thing. People who do this rarely stay in shops but actively hustle individual contracts. Of course its a gradual process to build the contracts, have you written your contact details on walls and poles in areas of new development? Go down eleyele route, I`m sure you'd find there. Akala express is also a good place as far as I know. Go to `gate` where you source building materials and network with the dealers there. You can even meet clients who want to buy materials for their house and exchange numbers. Hook up with house agents and explain your plight, they can link you to landlords or tenants who want to fix their house. Talk about them getting a commission on every deal to tickle their ears.

Just like your brother, you are in survival mode. Look for anything that will bring in some cash everyday, even if it #500 you'd use to eat. Its not a good experience to be penniless in a new place/location.

Desperate times call for desperate measures now my friend.

SmartPolician:
I have come to realise that African Americans are finer than black Africans due to weather, less worries and good food. See as person pikin fine.

Wait until you see the blasians and mixed races with dark complexion.

Rich4god:
Private schools charge so much but they still don't pay the teachers reasonable well.

Yeah, it's all on the market. The top and most expensive schools do pay their teachers well. It's struggling low-level private schools that provide next to forced-labour employment.

Bottom line is money is the root of all operations. No matter the values any institution talks about, they must make money to survive and look attractive.

Rich4god:
There is money o.... if govt make it a priority to pay teachers well, the money will come out.

I think some states like Delta, Rivers pays teachers average of 90k, that was around 2013, I don't know how much it is now.

But the problem is, there is no room for growth. So a teacher can spend almost 25years teaching and he's salary won't exceed 200k.

Are you talking about the same funds that go into the private pockets of greedy politicians?

One of these things can happen;

It's either more attention is placed in the quality of our education and there's increased budgetary allowance

Or privatisation: which is why private schools/teachers charge so much.

Did someone pack C4 explosives into the transformer or what? First the report stated fire and then electrocution.

Transformers only throw sparks in the air not explosions like bombs...and how did people get trapped in their houses, they could not evacuate before being burned alive. I'm lost.

Modified: it appears they do. 0.1% chances though

Rich4god:
From what everyone knows, teachers don't have a clear path to career growth. The highest one can get is to be a principal and the package that comes with that position will definitely be less than 300k.

The primary problem is the total budget allocation for education in the country. There's no money to pay teachers or even lecturers higher salariés. Some Governors do try to enforce additional training/qualifications for teachers but which teacher after earning expensive qualifications will settle for such meagre wages?

Compare European institutions; working libraries with constant and free internet. You have access to as many research journals as you want, if you can't access it, request and they will get it for you.

This is why a huge proportion of research and theses from our institutions end up in the Dustbin. This is why we cannot develop as a nation because we can't research and discover solutions tailored to our environment.

It's a pity.

Intrepid01:
This is very untrue, the mistake you’re making is that you assumed that Palestinians want to leave their homeland. Palestinians are not stopped from entering any Arab country but the issue is they are not ready to leave their homeland. What are you even saying, they should leave their homeland for another people to occupy? You really don’t have a good understanding of the war going on there. Majority will rather die in their homeland than leave the country. Palestinians are allowed into any Arab country. Lastly, there is a huge of Palestines that are not Muslims, just like there are Israeli Muslims.

I believe the word 'blockade' has a different meaning to you.

[quote author=TOPMAN4LIFE ,]Israel now doesn't know terrorists from non terrorists since they are in the same location[/quote]Like pebbles among beans. That is why an infantry incursion is validated as a tactic to pick them out.
Sadly this Hamas problem is the greatest of weapons, not guns or missiles but ideologies designed to use their humans as weapons and armor.

Quintopia:
Hamas is not nearly strong enough to ''fight and resist Israel'', you damn idiot.

This is the ultimate David and Goliath scenario.

If Hamas let the people go and face Israel alone in combat, all it would take is one or two cruise missiles off some US ship to make them history!

So they have no choice but to use their own people as 'human shields'.

It's a terrible situation there.

Israel never ''fights fair'' when dealing with the Palestinians, WHO HAVE NO STANDING ARMY OR AIRFORCE OR NAVY, and have killed tens of thousands of them over the years, if not hundreds of thousands of them, in a campaign marked by numerous war crimes and deep racism against the Palestinians.

All is fair in love and war. It's interesting you justify human shields as a valid tactic. Did they seek the approval of the 'human sheilds' they use today when they sprung surprise attacks on unarmed civilians, women and children?

Yes Palestiniens have been locked in for so long but they had access to basic living amenities at least. It's not Israel displacing these populations, it's Hamas.

I have travelled across about 34 of the 36 states in Nigeria and northerners are about the only place where you'd find people with a little bit of honesty.

I second your opinion on this. Im not a northerner but been fortunate to live along the longitude of Nigeria. Yes, there are rough ones among them but the North is still the place you can find a bit of honesty primarily due to how religious they are.

You see Southerners from Kogi going down. Bad as they come and worse as you go lower. There's a reason I decided to set up base up north. The south is rough

If true, Don Jazzy is about to cup some good retirement funds. There`s no better time to sell some part of the company than now when the ovation is very high. Just like Dr Dre sold Beats, Jazzy gets to sit on millions of USD while doing what he loves. If the brand sinks tomorrow, he has his insurance funds cooling in some offshore account somewhere.

Did I just see an option fine of #10,000? for false accusations that could have led to the death of the accused if matters were not appropriately handled.

Grossly insufficient. They are supposed to spend at least 1 year in the pen to reflect on their misdoings.
