once there was this guy and his crew of friends who wouldnt stop staring at me and my friends. we knew they were lames because they were putting up a front that they were playas but they were nothing but wannabes. so we got tired of their down right rudeness so i suggested we all stare at them. so we did. it was so hilarious. they started blowing kisses at us and they bought us drinks. we took the drinks and left the guys.

lol, lmao!

I once stuck my tongue out at a dude, But of course I was inside the car, it was in a go slow traffic . . . . The dude was staring, and I just felt that urge to stick out my tongue and make that face which I'm soo used to, thanx to my cousin, So I did! And it felt really good, believe me lol, every girl should try it  
lol,

If I'm sitting  with a guy and a lady walks by and he is staring, I give him a smack,   Even my bros, lol,

@ David,

is that the new way of toasting a girl?? Abi. . .  .which one u dey? 

Ok, so seriously that thing is very embarrassing! I don't know about other ladies in the house, but 4 me . . . ! I mean, we ladies do look\check out a guy but at least we try to hide it between our selfs n stuff, maybe some giggling with ur girlfriend d dude won't even understand u r checking him out or anything. But Guys! they just stare like soo bare! Of course if a girl is with her girl friend\s theres no problem, cuz with ur girl friend everything is cool, u can just shake it off and walk by, But if u r alone, ha, and worse walking in heels, I don't know if this happens to other ladies in the house, but it's like my steps completely change and I'm almost walking all wobbly and stuff, which is soo not sexy, lol, but really it's very uncool!

But it can be very Embarrassing seriously, I remember when I was in Nigeria and I had this female cousin, I was still a kid then, so any time I'm walking with her, or with her and her girl friends and some dudes are staring at her\them, she just tells me " hey Nella, tell them Nmme" -- so I stick my tongue out at the guys and do those silly faces at them and tell them waka, and kick out my feet as if to kick them , lol, But now, who do I even have to do that 4 me? , My junior brother? , yea right! he would give me a good kick right there in front of all and run away!

---- So seriously "Guys" , y do u people stare soooo much!? , and even worse they make those stupid comments and whistles to ur hearing! And in my head I'm thinking, " stupid stupid! jerks, stupid idiots, animals!" and soo on, cuz there are other adults there, and even if ur mum or dad is by, they don't care! I've ever got whistles in front of my dad who was close, it was soo embarrassing, I felt like killing those dudes! lol, but really it's embarrassing 4 a lady, besides in public!

I wolud really love to be sitting with my girlfriends one day and when a guy walks by, I'd be like " dammmn wao! nice ass duuude!" Infact! that's my new week resolution

ps, I have no problem with the normal checking out, but the one where a lady is walking by . . . . c'mon!

Tayod, precisely.

I know gender has a lot of bearing in engineering admissions and work environment, even in the US. I know most schools here are fervently harping about the lack of uniformity and women, more or less female minorities, in branches of engineering mostly because it is male-dominated. In that respect, I would propose that with decent grades, few ounces of smarts, and a burning desire to study engineering, our 17-year-old female here should have no problem getting into good engineering programs as there is a strong emphasis on recruiting females and minorities in engineering progras across the country. Outside of academia, anything can happen and hopefully she lands a job with a rewarding company. I have had a chance to survey some women in engineering who have been sexually discriminated and harassed, severely underpaid, grossly marginalized, . . . at their various companies. There exists those shallow discriminatory professors at many schools who feel women don't even belong in the field of engineering.

Yea, of course such unfortunate problems does exist, but atleast u r talking about outside Nigeria, Imagine how it would be in Nigeria! I mean, somewhere like US, Canada, the discrimination is just very minor, almost everything is fair. But In Nigeria, that one I don't even need to ask.
But I guess one just has to be sharp and determined, somehow u would get there, female or male.

I'm very unlucky because, although I do want to study Engineering, I want very little or nothing at all to do with anything mechanical\that has to do with costructing with your hands and stuffs like that. ------------------ But that dream in Nigeria, might as well be put aside, I guess when I go back I would be able to do more research and find out those which have more to do with softwares and very very little to do with hand work. _{so help me God!}

omoovie:
Systems Engineering I'm thinking = Production Engineering in Nigeria which is what my cousin studied before she Janded. It's also similar to "Structural" Engineering and I think there's even something called "Reverse" Engineering. It's a niche type thing. Personally I wanted to go into Graphics Design & Computer Animation but like you I want to go back home. Where the hell am I going to use Computer Animation in Nigeria?

Sha don't sell yourself short on the software Engineering thing because who knows, you might the next genius Dangote and come up with a company that develops software. If you do, let me know. I've got a head full of awesome ideas!

abii oo, lol, don't worry I will bring that country up to d standard Engineering level


It's just very: frustrating, because Software is just soo it! No problem in it, just has to do with softwares and stuffs like that, no tough hand work or anything like that! --- I almost cried when I heard that it didn't exist in Nigeria!


@ Bossman

yea, I guess it does have different names, -- but in Nigeria it just doesn't exist,

Tayo-D:
@Nella,
The [b]Curse aspect explains why it doesn't do well in naija [/b]

You nor well at all!! lol, besides nobi curse it be!?? gosh, you're mad,

omoovie:
I'm an Engineer in the Computer/IT field and one of my good friends just graduated from civil engineering and another from Electrical. I believe that the most viable engineering fields (that is if you intend to go back to Nigeria or currently reside there) for a woman would be Computer and Petrochemical/Chemical engineering. I'm leaning more towards Computer however because you have a greater chance in that respect than Chemical seeing as that (chemical) is a very male-dominated field and knowing our country's atmosphere for females plus the fact that Shell & Exxon Mobil rarely hire locals so your best bet would be NNPC which is already flooded! Alternatively you can go into Industrial or Production engineering and work in Architecture/Housing. I'm sure you will have the opportunity to carve a niche for yourself there since there are so few people in that field. As with anything in Naija, na who u know oh so best of luck. If you in Jando however, any Engineering field is definitely viable but Biomedical/Biochemical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Structural engineering are burgeoning industries that have a potential for growth plus women in those fields usually have hefty financial options in the form of scholarships and grants like the STEM one provided by the US govt for example to under-represented minorities and women. Whatever you do, I am not the definitive authority on everything so make sure you do your own research as well and see what works for you.

Bonne chance mam'selle!

I knowwww almost Everything sucks in that country! -- ^{well . . . when it comes to jobs}

@ Topic,


But why are u guys only talking about the constructing\civil part of engineering?? Cuz Engineering don't only has to do with constructions n stuffs, It's very unfortunate that most of the other existing areas\courses of engineering does not exist in Nigeria! -- atleast I think,

Me 4 example, I want to study " Software Engineering" like ma bro, but since it's a curse that doesn't exist in Nigeria I can't study it, because unlike ma bro I'm still goin back to Nigeria to continue my studies, So . . . It really really sucks!

There are other cool Engineering courses such as : "Aerospace Engineering" ---- ^{which I would love as well, but in Nigeria?? yea right!}
"Biomedical and Electrical Engineering" -- ^{which Omoovie mentioned}
" Software Engineering" ----- ^{in my dreams!}
" Engineering physics"
"Communications Engineering"

And some other few------ But I'm not really sure of how many of this ones I mentioned acctually exist In Nigeria --- Does any one know?? please?
And also in Nigeria there's a course called " Systems Engineering" right it's my next option as I can't study Software! --- I just hope it does exist In Nigeria! -- it does right??

mUKINATU

wetin u give this pikin chop?

They snap their pictures themselves - so that's no problem of us!

lmao, no wonder, ok, so I thought that thin was specially done or smthing, right, But Nigeria model?? Don't u know ur country? how much would u even gain?
Only if they manage to be very very very lucky, like that Linda girl. But an average girl 2 start a modeling career there, she might as well be jobless! Really . . .

Mustay:
Sharap dia again!#


I dey call u olodo ; u dey prove me right sef!


Those gals on Sun newspaper are not models; seriously they are just gals!

Idiot, of course I know that, but they r suppose 2 be specially dressed up with make up artists as well ain't it? But look how dey come out! Even d photographers sef, pls!

Besides, like I said how far can Nigeria modeling get u?- Nollywood? - yea!

@ Efosa, I'm loving your style girl, keep it up

I've got to steal that black dress u r wearing in that photo! niceee

Mustay:

Musty, Na who u dey call olodo? Lol, but I ain't kidding, Nigeria modelling is SO out of d topic! seriously, I see What they do with sungirl, aren't those girls suppose to be sexy or something?? But they all look like loaf of bread painted with the whole colors of the rainbow say they put make up!

Seriously and how far can they even get u sef?, brrrg please,  . . . . Mustay mid your self!

I have all it takes 4 a model, but Nigeria modeling?? yea right! - I can probably apply make up better than their make up artists.
