No, you can't. You have no result to prove your smartness or intelligence while he does.

What I'm fighting here is clearly spelled out in my second paragraph sir.

It's not something new... They use such posts and poorly founded theories to make people, especially young women desperate about marriage and childbirth!

Such posts also put intense pressure on married couples battling with infertility!

If you think I'm being overreactive, then you really don't have a clue how subliminal emotional manipulation works!

It is a tradition for white women or men to paint their baby’s rooms themselves before the baby comes, it is easy to do yourself and does not require any brain activity. Most paint their whole apartment themselves, it is a popular bonding activity with friends.

It’s like people getting scammed by agents when they can simply just apply to their country of choice by using the country’s website. Imagine someone saying, you can’t do it yourself, you need someone to mediate with the country for you.

We act like royalty in this country ontop of poverty.
Saving yourself money you can put to good use for something else is now something to be ashamed of? Who likes to spend money on things they can do themselves? Financial illiteracy is the biggest disease Nigerians have and we wonder why we are so poor.

A 65-year-old pensioner has reportedly been left to languish in Nigeria after years of training and providing for his children abroad.

The man sent them to study in different countries but now that they are grown, they made arrangements for only their mother, who’s 60 years old, to join them abroad.

According to a Facebook user who shared the story, the father worked all his life to give his kids the best education and ensure that they were comfortable in their host countries.

However, now that they live in America and Europe, they neglect him by not calling or showing interest in his welfare even as he battles high blood pressure and other ailments.

The post reads; “He’s 65 years old. Retired pensioner, worked all his life to raise his kids. Deprived himself of life’s pleasures to pay expensive school fees and living expenses for his kids abroad.

They are now well-off in Europe and America. His wife, 60, has relocated to live with her kids. He’s alone back in Nigeria. His kids barely call him. He now has to start life all over as a bachelor. He struggles with high blood pressure and other ailments.

How long more would he survive alone? This is the reality for most working class monogamous men. Their old age is usually lonely and in many cases, sad. Try as you may, women love their kids more than their husbands, no matter how good the man is. The older he gets, the less use they have for him.

Tell me then, what do men benefit from marriage? They sacrifice so much but get little recognition for the hard work. The woman reaps all the benefits as the kids are often closer and more affectionate towards her when she becomes old.”

Etuagievin:
I know of many couples who married early and still had issues with child bearing. Some married got one child and failed to conceive again- secondary infertility. Who also told you those who marry early dont give birth to kids with birth defects. I am not here to water down the benefits of marrying early , no. What am saying is, both cases have their fair share of troubles.

Sandralight:
I tire o like they wont get to that age too even in this modern age there are people still scared to grow old, if you are a lady that is 35 and single, will you kill yourself because of what some guy in internet is going to say lol
Abeg make everybody live their life with what pleases them

Angelfrost:
This is a very daft post!

Such emotional blackmail, prejudice, and pressure on women is quite stale, and the fact that it's solely echoed within Africa underscores why the continent is where it is today!

Marriage is not a trophy for women...! Childbirth is a beautiful thing but should not be forced upon anyone, neither should any man or woman be age-shamed into these two sacred states!

If singleness and non-parenthood favors anyone, let him or her stay there and thrive there!... If adoption of kids suits you, then follow that path!

GeneralPula:
If a girl is lucky, it’s good she settle at her young age..
Young girls have high chances of meeting a good guy that can love them forever than when she don grow up old..

Believe it or not, it’s extremely rare for a girl to find a genuine partner when she don near or pass 30! At this stage, 99% of guys she’ll meet just want to knack & pass with many fake promises, 90% of guys she’ll meet won’t be completely single..

Nature already structured us as humans! And I kinda agree to that saying.. * women doesn’t have much time biologically*! My experience with women also made me know girls of 27+ without genuine partner, not a day goes by that such girls won’t think about having partner..

Either she’s saying it or not. Either acting it or not. The truth always remains within the heart!

jeromestarks:
Once a woman is above 23 before you met her, please do not have anything serious to do with her unless you want to use all your hard earned money to treat diseases which you knew nothing about.

Just fvck her and keep fvcking her until you meet a woman within 18 - 23.

Adachizzy:
Let women breathe. It's not like we don't know the best for ourselves, or y'all care about us more than we do.

There are many options to making babies now, at the end of the day, what matters this day is taking care of a child, not bringing it into the world.

As long as it isn't hurting you, a woman’s age should not be your concern.

Women this, women that, haba!!
PS: I'm not 30 or 35, before some bitter people here misread and misyarn.

You dey use Pocohontas dey play? That girl smart pass 85% of the guys on nairaland

Lol! Nigerians hate anything diy

LARRYOBRAIN:
Nice one, the money would have built you a room and parlour.

patrickcollins:
You are the crook, so Jamb can't make a mistake. U want to die on top of this girl's matter. She denied any wrong doing allow independent body investigate u are always here vomiting nonsense.

LionTiger:
It was a server issue. Read her today's interview on channels TV.

TemplarLandry:
Only option for her now is to quickly write IELTS or IGCSE so she could study abroad. And she should pray against powers from her foundations which don't want her glory to manifest.

Brendaniel:
OK, I'm not in support or against the girl or Jamb, but however Jamb could have handled the matter better than they did, I feel they shouldn't have been accusing the girl directly of forging her result, the moment they started doing that they whipped up emotions of people who came to support her, like how how would old and matured men be accusing a young girl who they were not sure if she was involved in any forgery at all.

They should have simply said they did not know where she got the result from and that they sympathize with whatever trauma she has experienced getting a fake result, that they have investigated it and the error did not come from their end....

But to come on live TV and be accusing a small child of forgery without concrete evidence of her involvement is harsh

Indeed, people can be stupid, as i earlier postulated that if indeed she manipulated the scores, then she's downright foolish to have awarded herself the highest score. But saying JAMB checked their database and concluded the girl was a fraudster was a right thing may not be correct. They can't be a judge in a case they are involved in. People have in the past reported having wrong or inconsistent details on their JAMB result slips. That could be as a result of system glitch which even the best of Telcos or Banks are not immuned to. Also, the girl may be a victim of some fraudulent middlemen which only investigations can unravel. For the sake of the integrity of the system, they should have simply called for an independent investigation rather than going ahead to dish out penalties and submitting conclusively that the girl is a fraudster. It will simply remain a case of my word against yours or buck passing which a big institution like JAMB should not be reduced to.

TheFreshVanilla:
You living in a third world country is advising a dollar billionaire, right?

Rexymania:
Na who go Afghanistan go dey snap picture? You won die? 😬😬

Ruskov:
She let you in there because of Love. Do not use it against her!

ImmaculateJOE:
Trust Me, Ndigbo will fly this young lady abroad where she would get the best Education....

For those quoting me, Jamb is the only culprit here, whether you not Young Mmesoma scored 362.
Its not her fault that Jamb had technical issues..
Many of them are tagging me tribal bigot, but they look away, when many Yoruba's here in this forum called Ndigbo all sort of names when the news first broke out..

Yes, I'm backing the Young Mmesoma simply because she is Igbo, if you aren't comfortable with it, jump in the closest lagoon. Nitwits.

iLoveYouToo:
I wonder when they will come through for Evans the notorious kidnapper

AwokenVawulence:
Some people won't like this

It's amazing how you already concluded based on JAMB's position. Whatever happened to waiting for a thorough investigation to be done? Meanwhile, why would someone want to forge the highest score? It surely makes no sense, because it will be easily discovered. It's either the perpetrators are downright foolish or it's clearly a glitch.

In anycase, JAMB erred by rushing to the public like a market woman to brandish the girl a fraudster without thorough investigations. Hence, subsequent actions will be seen as working to justify an already prejudiced position.

TOPCRUISE:
That man should be jailed for life.
The punch ought to have ensured he got arrested before publishing the victims story. It's bad that the police also aided in its circulation by trying to extort from the victims before taking any action

Theboss100:
You all should rest. Why the envy?? Her people have given her scholarship abroad. Whether you, Thiéfnubu or jamb registrar likes it or not, she will gain admission this year to study in a cool place where nobody will bring up tribalism. I know you failed jamb that year.

emperor4love:
don't mind those fools who are jealous because the did not made good grade during there time, someone with such brilliant brain wud make more than the score jamb is dragging with her , na fools supporting jamb de pain me
