Nairaland / General / Black Tax by mooretes: 10:31am On Jan 28 |
The idea that once you have some tashere you'll be pulling others out of poverty - hmmm. Well in some cases, it's good to help someone in need BUT it is also important not to be taken as someone who will fill the gap for you and be consistently be the MAGA! I have a friend, who took me for a fool and would always come with one issue or the other and tbh I was a fool - that person that knows truly that she was a fool. I knew this person over 24 years ago and I literally stopped giving her anything for the last 3 years because - its one excuse or the other! In our younger days its money for this money for that - serial bigger After uni, she got a job and then lost the job as the offices were downsizing - this was over 11 years ago now She's married but yes, struggles however refuses go do anything about where they are financially - because there is someone who would ALWAYS give when she asks - the maga! It's dad has this issues, it's mum wants this, it's my son doesn't have this, it's my husband has the problem- my sister has done this, I can't overburden her BUT when you say, you've got to work or do something to get you out of this issued you're having then the answer is - I can't do this, I can't do that, I have this pain or that pain! I can't give you fish but will teach you to fish - BUT ehn, Just give me this - I have back pain, I have waist pain - am I the only one, I've prayed and prayed but it seems no answer, it seems everytime I go to see someone for help, when it gets to me, they ignore it. OK - you can make cakes - but not selling You can make clothes but too lazy You can make hair, again too lazy A lot of skills has been deposited into you but you refuse to use it to bring yourself out of poverty - why? You have someone somewhere who would give you everytime you ask. Imagine even when you're told - I cannot afford to give you as I've got things I need to sort out- you still find a way to ask. When I didn't have a job, the asking reduced, as soon as job came, asking resumed. When I calculated how much she got in a year through me, she could as well go and work as its someone's salary. I could have used it to buy a land and raised it a bit! Last straw - I want to ask for something but dunno how - my husband has done enough, please whatever you and your husband can do for me will be appreciated! Yes admittedly, I encouraged all of this and the day I said NO and then made sure NO was NO that day I wasn't a friend anymore - which was good for me. There is a black tax Did the helper become complacent? Was the helper stupid? Was it emotional blackmail? Help people to be financially responsible otherwise they will be a burden and you will detest them Don't promise to do what you cannot If the person you are trying to help doesn't want to be lifted out of poverty then walk away otherwise your financials will become a sinking ship! This attitude can make you cut off everyone - you shouldn't feel overburdened by any request. Don't get bullied or emotionally black mailed to do stuff you shouldn't do. Always consider those who would want to bring themselves out of poverty rather than bring you down to their level. Think before you give |

Romance / Re: Nairalanders Share Experience About Online Dating by mooretes: 6:31pm On Sep 19, 2023 |
I've got two for you. 1. I have a friend who met someone online many years ago and they have been married for 12 years and still counting 2. I have another friend who just met someone online and there rship is still young but they seem to be enjoying their love - hopefully it blooms into forever after! All based abroad Will I say online dating isn't risky? It is, even the recent rship I mentioned, the guy told me that my friend went willingly with him and he could have been anyone. We discussed the risks and he concluded that there is physical risk for the girl but the men too also are not left out. So think about it and shine your eye well |

Health / Re: Nursing Mother Loses Her 3-Month-Old Baby At A Crèche by mooretes: 9:11am On Mar 07, 2022 |
Na wa o! Most comments here ehn! Mother is irresponsible... mother indirectly killed her baby ...what is a 3 month old doing in a creche? 3mth old still needs to be breastfed! Companies give awful maternity.. why have baby if you're not ready to care for them? keep baby with family member in the car!!! Well we don't know what happened and everyone is just SPECULATING ATM! Whilst it is sad to lose a child of any age ... however the child died is not the point here but SHE LOST THE BABY! sm1 mentioned he was given paternity for 4 months .. the coy must be generous cos even UK gives only 2 weeks! others say what is a 3mth doing in creche... well I know some creche will accept from 6weeks sm said babies still need to be breastfed at that age ... do you know that not all women can breastfeed? And they should not be shamed for it one person mentioned keep baby in car with sibling... have u thought of the fact the baby can die from overheating? You do not leave a baby in the car under scorching heat with another 'child' that's not ideal If the creche indeed have no clue what could have happened .. like sm1 mentioned SID could be the culprit but also to be safe we need to put proper regulations and checks on for places such as this ... have they got the correct safety measures ... are the people properly trained ... not just looking after a child but do they know how to administer first aid, baby and child CPR? are the rooms used dedicated to certain age groups? For instance under 1s or is it under 2s have a room and also the number they take shouldn't be more than staff they have ... surely the under 2s need more attention hence the ratio of staff to children should be 1 staff member to 3 kids, 1 staff member to 4kids 2years, 3-5year olds has 1staff to 8kids But then are there any guidelines for such? Are the providers registered? Do we know how many children are registered under them? That's the kind of conversation that needs to go on and we need to do better No matter what we say here the child cannot be brought back to life ... the woman will be grieving and will not forgive herself for taking the baby to creche ... heck her husband might hate her for this! Afterall said and done, we should be mindful of our utterances.. think in light of a situation and stop apportioning blame May God console the woman and her family 5 Likes 1 Share |

ArlinAddington: well, you tell me - if you think I was taking a swipe at you - sorry bro, I'm only trying to reiterate that turnitin exists however it doesn't really detect plagiarism but assist lecturers when the markers go haywire - and what it does is it checks texts against database to see where papers have been submitted or published you can read if you want to know more https://www.turnitin.com/blog/top-15-misconceptions-about-turnitin |
Education / Re: ‘60% Of Nigerian Undergraduate Projects Plagiarised’ by mooretes: 9:11am On Nov 09, 2018 |
ArlinAddington: people know how to work turnitin- besides it only shows similarities and lecturers start to worry should the similarity report become too high - in most cases, students will just reference anyways and that kind of covers their back! well until that software that would really catch students doing all sorts is released, turnutin only is a tool to help lecturers prevent plagiarism https://guides.turnitin.com/01_Manuals_and_Guides/Instructor_Guides/Feedback_Studio/19_The_Similarity_Report/Interpreting_the_Similarity_Report |

inkon: And the definition of plagiarism is? this type of thing should be stopped - I'm sorry but it is not the students work - the idea of an assignment, essay or dissertation is for the person to do it by themself - if it is contracted to someone else then it becomes your intellectual property. It is common in the UK too, turnutin or any other plagiarism software doesn't really detect that someone else wrote the essay on behalf of the student, however as lecturers/tutors we are aware that this is happening - just Google and you will see loads of adverts just like yours looking for academic writers to help students with things like this. It is a shame it is dishonest should a student turn such essay in 1 Like |
