floragregs: u must be a learner! Go and check well u will see what i'm saying. I said most of them I didn't say all.

most means nearly/almost all, meaning just a few celebs profile are real..

Onyiridike: I am a Nigerian lady with a lot of experience about life especially when it comes to relationship and marriage. Experience is NOT just passing through a situation but what you did with the situation.

Obviously, our young ladies always list ridiculous criteria that a man they will date/marry MUST possess. Among those ridiculous criteria, height is always a priority. Gone are the days when character is placed above physical appearance.

When I was an undergraduate, a certain young man approached me and told me how he loved me and wanted to date me. He is an enterprising young man, very intelligent and handsome. However, he is not very tall; just 5ft. 7 inches in height. Of course, young ladies don't take decisions independently. This is why they are easily influenced by friends and relatives. My friends then said: "Never! My man MUST be 6ft and above, so tell him capital NO". I rejected the young man.

Today, he is happily married with a lady who is by far more beautiful and talented than me. I almost shed tears on their wedding day. Meanwhile, all the so-called very tall men that I dated are ONLY interested in my vagina.
So far I have learnt the following:

1. Most tall men believe that their height is a 'master' key to every ladies heart and therefore, their ONLY achievement is ' I am a tall dude and ladies are dieing for me'.

2. Most tall guys are NOT caring because they have this notion that a lady should count herself lucky to date them.

3. I am yet to understand that unique or remarkable thing about tall men.

Fortunately, I repented because it occured to me that all those times, I was ONLY playing my friend's script. I wanted to feel among and brag that my boyfriend is equally tall. I gave a guy who is not very tall a chance and I started enjoying my paradise on earth. We are married now. All my life, I have not come across such a wonderful person. He has it all:

1. He is God-fearing and generous.

2. He is handsome and a great orator

3. He is educated and intelligent

4. He cooks for me when I am tired (caring)

5. He satisfies me sexually ( oh! What a heavenly feeling)

6. He got a good dress sense

7. He is social

8. Among others

I am not in any way trying to say that tall guys are bad. As a lady, I am only advising other Nigerian ladies to see a man beyond height. The height issue is over-hyped and even unnecessary. You may NOT get a second chance like me.

Finally, based on my experience, I have come up with a quote:

"A man is NOT known by his height but by his heart (bravery) and meritorous achievements".

Expecting a counter thread soon but before that i would like to ask how many tall men (guys) you have dated? the adjective most means nearly all/almost all. Whats the basis for your statistics?

floragregs: Most of those tweets are from parody accounts! Too many parody accounts on twitter lots of people will think it's from the real people.

Parody account?? naija celebs how long have you been tweeting ?

Give me one reason why i should buy a 512 GB memory card for 130k naira? Do u know how many 1TB external HDD i can get with that?

This is not the first time a MNC would do this and not the first time P & G nigeria is doing it, they have done it for UI, OAU and UNILAG. why complain now?

chemicstein: Please how did you get this info?.....have you gotten the email? Or have you seen anybody that got the email?

Its obvious your answer is any of the two, you should have asked him if he has taken the test and what was the response mail

handie: my final year accounts for 40% of all the GP. all I wanna know now is the possibility of going with the Next available batch of NYSC Members after the release of the results

Bro if staying an extra year would give you a 2-1 and you are sure about it please stay, read and come out with a 2-1 and dont be bothered about the extra year because i assure you it is worth it. It would make life easier for you in the "favour market".

Signed a co-final year student

Her husband is her manager, if he deems it fit for her, who are we to complain ?

Please what is the scoreline for the man utd match?

joshbouy: even if it were to be supplied to my school (Uniben) it won't last long cause the level of maintenance here is poor. you need to see the labs sef, they looking like a dumped arena

be bothering yourself about the arena while your mates are busy bagging the 2-1 and 1-1.

My question is who says nokia has dropped?

SimonAndal:
So let those federal university and private university students that were making noise all over this forum design and manufacture one. Please, I dey beg. If not keep your mouths shut. Tank you don menshon.

Has the Nigerian Navy manufactured one yet ?

Teach a nigerian 2 + 2= 4 then ask him/her to solve 2(4-3) + 2(8-5-2) and it becomes confusing.. Windows 8 is fast,sleek and cute. I dont know where this confusion is coming from

adegwurulez: probably some psycho trying to create panic. An all-male secondary school here in makurdi once received a letter reportedly from boko haram, threatening them of an imminent raid on the school. According to the letter, the boys from the school will be kidnapped and made to marry the chibok girls. At the tail end of last semester, a letter was also dropped in my school, warning us of a fulani attack. Even the bible says 'Jesus will come like a thief in the night'. I wonder when thieves started making it a point of duty to forewarn their victims.

This is not a psycho's doing!! Have lived in palmgroove all my life and believe me when i say they would wait for the police to get tired of keeping guard then strike... God help us all

Ujujoan: This is really sad, but typical of most Nigerian marriages!

We brag that our marriages last longer than that of the westerners, but that’s only because women are able to take abuse from men here that women in the west would never take! The happiness most married couples experience here is often an illusion. And what really saddens me is the fact the we have come to accept, even expect the various forms of maltreatment from the men we call our husbands!

Women see themselves as a lesser beings than the men. The stay home, take care of the family and looks the other way when their men cheat. When he raises his hands against them, the make excuses for him. When he lies, they justify it by saying . .  ‘they are men’. Pathetic!

I think women need to stand up for themselves, if not for anything for the sake of their children. Now your brother sees nothing wrong with hitting a woman and your father is not the only one to blame for that. Women should teach their children right and wrong and how to stand up for themselves. What better way to do this than to live it?

Staying with a man that disrespects your is not a sign of great love but that of great weakness! She’s telling her children that it’s okay to be weak as far as you are a woman! She’s telling her son that’s okay to disrespect her, as far as she’s your wife!  Shame on her!

   

I'm not saying she should leave him, but she should try and get her respect back. If he doesn't offer it, let her DEMAND it! It's her right!      

And if you want to help her, you can start by telling her that!

This is not a time for feminist talks, what is wrong is wrong. There are scenarios where the man is treated like a douchebag.. She has reasons to still be in the marriage thats why she is still in it.
@Poster I am not married and am even in your age bracket but i think dad has not forgiven mum for something she did sometime ago, you and your brother should try talking to your dad together and put it in prayers.. ANY foolish extended family that comes in to say trash should be seriously dealt with.. Its your family and you should work toward protecting it.. If this ugly incident continues, Mum should leave.. Her children are all grown up and she doesnt deserve what she is currently been served.. People say "You actually dont know what you have until you loose it".. My two pence!!

careema: Streetwise.

lol which private uni did you attend or are you currently in and please tell me 2 or 3 graduates of any field(in ur skul) currently making waves.. Thank u

OduntanGabriel: This is a counter thread to what was written by a fellow nairalander.

Here are the 6 reasons why I attending a private university is good for you.

1)Conducive Environment : When you look at some government owned universities,you wonder if this is actually a secondary school or what? The government of nigeria doesn't really show much concerns to their schools but private university believes that a conducive environment is very essential for learning. When you go to private universities for a tour , you don't feel like leaving there, they have things in place for learning. You see student of public university overcrowded(receiving lectures through the window or standing @ the door) how do you learn in this environment,with so much heat thanks to the over population.

2)COST: Yea, I know you do be surprised I said cost. Private universities are expensive, you don't expect education to be cheap. The are expensive because they give you value for money. I leave you with the slogan which says if education is expensive try ignorance.

3)CONNECTION: No matter how rich a man is,if he doesn't have connection,he's useless. Private universities creates an avenue for you to meet the sons and daughters of the rich and powerful men in our societies. The Dangotes and otedolas have their sons ,daughters, nephew etc in this so called private universities and this can easily elevate you. Being a scholar does not guarantee you an employment opportunity in our society except you are connected. Isn't it a good thing to be dinning and winning with the crème de la crème of society? Answer me

4)SECURITY: Our public schools are not safe,not even safe for the lecturers not to talk of the students. Many student have lost their lives to this game called Cultism (even the innocent ones). Some lecturers who refuse to dance to the tune of this so called school prefects have kicked the bucket. What is the essence of making a 1st class in public universities and on your graduation day or final exam ,you get wasted. Abraham Maslow's listed 5 hierarchy of needs and SAFETY is one of it. Our Public universities are not safe for learning

5) STRIKE ACTION: OMG, why would a 4years course becomes 6years without any extra years or carry over? Strike has been one of the main problem facing the education system in nigeria. Some people entered the university @ the age of 25 with the hope of finishing a 4 years course but due to strike actions the finished at the age of 31 and couldn't go for their youth service because they are above 30years. In a private university, you know when you are graduating except the student failed some courses which lead to extra years.

6) Discipline: There is discipline in private university, you don't slap your lecturer, you don't threaten your fellow colleague. You don't run away from lecturers,you don't receive calls while having lectures, all because you want to party or flex. Remember , the main reason you are in school is too learn. Private university instill discipline on their student unlike public university.

I cant begin to fault the basis of your argument and if i am to do a full report it would take pages of the thread, I better stick to the points you have stated and try to make you see reasons from angles I dont think you have knowledge of. As for the people who liked your post

1) Conducive Environment : You stated that Public universities are not conducive enough for learning, I am compelled to ask which public unis you have visited? Students of federal universities pay a fee tagged " Developmental Fee" which is being channeled by the school authorities into building more lecture theaters and renovating existing ones. During the course of my five years in the Faculty of Engineering, University of Benin, Renovations were carried out semester in semester out. That would make it impossible for a graduate of 09 to recognize his faculty if he comes visiting. I would also like to know how a private uni environment is better than a federal one, Good road networks? Large capacity Theater halls? Excellent Public Address system> State of the art library. you name it.

2) Cost : Your statement of not expecting education not to be cheap makes me ponder on what you are being taught in your self-glorified private unis, If education is not expected to be cheap, why are developed countries making education cheap/ affordable at least to the age of 18. Why do countries like Norway et all offer free education to tertiary level? What you are trying to say is that a certain Bola is not entitled to go to school because her mum sells tubers of yams at mile 12 and cant afford the 600k a session fee for her child to be enrolled to school?

3) Connection; I am in a loss on how to classify what you said under the above heading, should i base it on Ignorance or being kept in a glorified secondary school for too long that you have no idea of whats going on outside your school walls. I understand that going to a private unis would create an avenue for you to meet kids of Dangote, Odetola e.tc. But are you unaware of the fact that children of CEO's of different banks and big Institutions come to a federal uni, nephew, niece and cousins of Project managers, Senior consultants, medical practitioners, professors and the likes attend federal universities. My bunkie in my sophomore year is a child of a diplomat, did not grow up in nigeria has a senior brother who is a top gun in Total and here he is Studying Electrical Engineering and living in Hall 4? What other connection do i need? Perhaps you might have forgotten its the year 2014, where the MNC's rule the day and the IOC's are the most sought after, and the so called connection you so cling to would only get you a job as the lobby cleaner.

4) SAFETY ; Please dont just make assumptions and come on here to make claims without fact or necessary back up, give me a link to a story that would tell me of a first class federal university material that was murdered. If you have none. KINDLY SHUT UP

5) STRIKE ACTION ; This would have gone in swiftly for you if only the numerous strikes affected me, i was admitted 09 for a five year course and was billed to finish 2014 and here i am even with the recent 6 months strike am starting my final exams by November. The strike actions has made it possible for public uni students to indulge themselves in one handiwork and/or certification or the other. A blessing in disguise you would say

6) DISCIPLINE : Same as (4) above, who says scholars in public schools are not disciplined, most of the students admitted are from humble backgrounds who have little or no exposure to violence and other juvenile activities, I am yet to hear of a case where a Senior lecturer was slapped by a student, if you have heard please share.

To all Federal university scholars out their keep repping, jacking, Deciphering and doing your best. If you are good you are good.

LAST BULLET : How many Federal unis did you apply for before switching to a private uni? or you have always wanted to be a CU/BOWEN/madonna graduate right from ss1? If this is how Private uni materials have little or no knowledge of sentence structure and the right use of tenses then i think thats enough reason not to attend a Private university.
