truth be told, I'm not impressed. I can't hide it my people. we played a team that enugu rangers can defeat hands down.

This is not to discredit our eagles, the fact that we couldn't defeat Ghana to secure the ticket to world cup just few months ago says it all and today we wining 10 0 for afcon qualifers?.

what a pathetic joke.

I'm so angry right now, the more the goals were coming the more my angrier grew. the super eagles just showed other african countries their weak spot.

They showed other african countries they can't stand an average team talkless of a stronger opponent.

I Know I share same thought with lot of nigeria's out here.

so what do you think are you impressed or not?
You'll still complain if they drew or lost.

RomanceRe: My Boyfriend Broke Up With Me Because I Got A High Paying Job by NickD(m): 11:13am On Jun 03, 2022
julie90:
I have been working for this company for two years. In December 2021, there was a change in management, a new manager was assigned to my Department. Before the change in management, I applied for some jobs in November 2021 but I didn't get any response.

Things between my new manager and I developed really quickly (he is not married and he is 10 years older than me). Although we have been working together, when he became the new manager we started dating. it was mutual, it wasn't like he forced me. We liked each other and we started dating in March 2022. We kept things professional in the office. Nobody in the office knows about this even till now.

Those companies I applied to in November 2021 reached out to me for an interview. I got two offers at the same time. Both offers come with great pay (similar to what my boyfriend currently earns) and a significant boost to my career. I spoke to my boyfriend about it and being my boss he told me to reject both offers, he told me he would be able to cater for my needs that the only commitment he has now is paying for his house and once he is done paying for it, he would have more money to take care of me and I didn't need a job where they would pay me what he's currently earning and be in a role similar to his.

I told him it's not the money but it would be about moving up the ladder in my career. These are offers people do not have, now I have two, he is asking me to reject them. He told me even if I have to move the only offer I should take is the one close to the company where we work which has a lower pay compared to the second offer. I told him I would go with the second offer which has more opportunities for me. Both offers are in the same state although my preferred offer is a bit far from where I live but it is still a reasonable location to commute everyday. At one point he told me, I was too ambitious and I took it as a compliment.

I noticed he changed since then, he informed the company management that I was leaving and we began the handover process, I noticed he changed after we had the discussion about me accepting the second offer but I thought it was about him missing me. May 31 was my last day and I noticed few days to my last day he was acting strange so I asked him what the matter was. He said he doesn't feel anything for me and we should stop seeing each other.

This is a man that was really excited when we were dating, all of a sudden doesn't feel anything for me because I got a high paying job? Is it wrong for a woman to be ambitious? When has it become a crime for a woman to aim high in her career? My role will still be to support him. I have never been rude to him and I am not going to be rude to him because we now earn the same salary. I really like him and I feel disappointed that he could act this way.

Is it now a crime for a woman to be ambitious?
Good riddance, any man who has issues with his wife or partner earning higher than him is a weakling. He doesn't have your growth or best interest at heart. Let him move. Do not look back, someone more deserving of you would come along.

You guys and Yahaya Bello are high on something! These people always brag about securing the state, a state Yahaya Bello padon a criminal called Jogbo who was shot by Ganaja village boys I November 2019 Governorship election while he was trying to snatch ballot box for Bello. A tug known as Gentle became rich after he lead a group of tugs to burn down a truck of trailer loaded with rice by Dino to distribute to poor workers whose Bello sack through his purported screen, same guy gentle went to Sarki Norma village in Lokoja and burn down a community school which Dino Melaye renovate. Gentle became rich after leading two operation in Lokoja, he build a beautiful which he leave at Karaworo in Lokoja and he drove siena space bus which was giving to him by the governor. The diagnostic hospital you are celebrating as Bello achievements was about 95 percent completed with the equipment already on ground by former governor Idris Wada! Bello painted the building and he commission it as his achievements in 2016 which minister was in attendance and since nothing has been done till the building turn to isolation center! During the endsars busting of warehouse the equipment meant for diagnostic hospital was looted some was destroyed by tugs. Rice mill you are boasting about was completed in 2018 and commissioned, till now it can't produce even 5kg.
The flyover Bello is claiming as his achievements was awarded to Tech Engineering by for Governor Idris Wada, the disbursement of the fund happened immediately Bello became governor and Bello and his team misused the money and claim the Junction isn't fit for flyover so the company Tech Engineering took them to court and later worn them. You can Google some of this. We in Lokoja and other part of the state are yet to see the governors work.

She is dead now, you now refer to her as It. Even claiming its their daughter as if you have nothing to do with her anymore. They can accuse you of killing their daughter. Better tow the line of peace, you seem very stubborn and arrogant. Better drop that act cause it'll take you nowhere. You never had their consent and you put their daughter in the family way.

When they say marry her corpse. It's not literally marrying. What it means is paying her Dowry which you ought to have done while she was alive and even before getting her pregnant. You have no claims on the son until you do the needful. Everything is not gragra.

No. I grew up in Winners Chapel and Papa and Mama always say they have never argued in their marriage. Even last year, Papa still said that he and mama have not had their first argument almost 40 years later. That is the kind of marriage I always wanted but now, I feel bad because I cannot boast of the same thing. Shouting at your wife is abuse. And worse is that our children see it. I have read that it can affect children psychologically. I feel that I have failed.
Keep deceiving yourself. Keep using other people's marriage as a standard for yours. You'll open a thread one day saying you regret leaving your husband. I doubt if you ever went for marriage classes prior to getting married because if you did, you wouldn't be saying most of what you're typing. There is no marriage on earth where there are no misunderstandings, there's no marriage either that's perfect. Just tell us you have single or divorced friends living wayward lives whom you want to join in their merry-go-round. The earlier you focus on your home and fix it the better for you.

Christianity EtcRe: Catholic Church Believes In Separation From Bed, Not Divorce - Father Oluoma by NickD(m): 5:08pm On Apr 14, 2022
backnbeta:
Thanks, I get your point. My point here is in relation to a wedding not based on lies. If you are in an abusive marriage, you will divorce and not nullify because you are terminating the contract. But from the Catholic point of view, I'm guessing a woman in an abusive marriage has to separate or endure. But a woman or man who was deceived into a marriage can call for nullification based on the lies. Like you said, I'm not a Catholic and it may be difficult for me to understand. Thanks all the same.
Yes, you get it now. If a woman is in an abusive relationship she can choose to seperate from her husband, the church will grant her that and not divorce. Lies leads to nullification of marriage if the person lied to chooses to push for it. Let me also paint a different picture (Also from the Catholic Church), a family friend of mine got married and along the line his wife ran mad and he separated from her (did diabolical things according to him) despite this he couldn't remarry, she later died after 15 years and that was when he finally got married to another lady. Dude literally paused his life for that long, good thing was the union produced 2 children. Kinda harsh but it is what it is.
Christianity EtcRe: Catholic Church Believes In Separation From Bed, Not Divorce - Father Oluoma by NickD(m): 5:57am On Apr 14, 2022
backnbeta:
Nullify: make legally null and void; invalidate.
Divorce the legal dissolution of a marriage by a court or other competent body.

Nullify, don't divorce ... what's the difference?
They are one and the same, dear Catholic brethrens!

Separation is okay for a while, but if their hearts don't grow fonder for each other, better to just make your marriage legally null and void or legally dissolve the marriage
There are grounds for nullification of marriage in the Catholic Church example if one spouse hides certain critical information (could be health status or having children without knowledge of the partner, anything enshrined with lies etc) that might make his or her partner decide against going into the union from the start. It is entirely different from divorce. You're not Catholic so you might not understand.
EducationRe: My Journey Through Academics (bsc. Msc. Ph.d) by NickD(m): 8:55am On Apr 10, 2022
Paulheyman:
My Journey through academics (Bsc. MSc. Ph.D)

NOTE: I am writing this article to inspire young Nigerians/Africans who have flair for academics.

My name is Emeka Ekanem Muyiwa Kyari and I was born a sickle cell patient. At the age of seven, I developed passion for teaching, my love for teaching was born out of my urge to know more. I was passionate about learning. Though, my maternal grandfather was a headmaster, I dreamt of becoming a Professor someday. My greatest weakness was my health, my greatest strength was my friends and family.

Naturally I was born "maybe" intelligent but those who are familiar with sickle cell crisis knows that at certain age the crisis becomes increasingly recurrent and this was the greatest set back I had during my BSc. because it affected my CGPA (3.39/5). Except for my second semester 4th year, I couldn't write a single quiz/test during my BSc. even the exams I wrote from my sick bed.

During my NYSC I was posted to Akwa Ibom State (I love Akwa Ibom). I am a lone wolf, I function better alone. I had a dream which is getting MSc. and staying back in Akwa Ibom would hinder that dream. My little alawee can't sustain my stay in Akwa Ibom State moreover we all thought that the state paid #16k but during camping we discovered they paid #6k so I had to redeploy to my state where they paid #5k/month. I was able to save up enough fund by living with my parents, in fact I saved everything I was paid just so that I could start my MSc.

After the NYSC I enrolled for my MSc. in Nnamdi Azikiwe university (NAU). I was once again faced with my greatest fear which was my health. I had crisis multiple times, even during my exams. As my savings was gradually depleting, I took a job that paid me #3500; funny thing is that my present office actually closed the school down. Then, I took another job that paid #7500, then, another that paid #15000 before getting employed by the state civil service. My MSc. delayed but I later got it at the 4th year, CGPA (4.06/5). My MSc. was a battle fought in love and on grace. The universe was kind to me and I survived the journey. My worst experience was the day I took pain killer injections at Eastern mass transit park in awka (terrible).

Then, came the PhD. The challenges where enormous, my fear were still there but the crisis wasn't recurrent as before. Again love, grace, humility and perseverance saw me through. The PhD came within 3 years. CGPA (5/5). I finished my PhD at 30 years

My Advice to young Academia's
1) To succeed in academics requires perseverance and love of what you're doing.
2) Keep your circle of friends tiny as possible. If possible be an island.
3) The dissuading voices are there to motivate you. Use them, let them penetrate you. My "guy" told me it was impossible to finish PhD in three years but I did
4) Don't wait to have enough fund to start your postgraduate journey. The university is an ocean of opportunities. You'll get enough fund to see you through your study.
5) Avoid any relationship that will lead to spending money. Minimize your expenditure
6) You must create time for leisure but ensure it won't cost you much money.
7) Your supervisor should be your best friend, they've what it takes to progress your research.
cool Join many groups on Facebook based on your research interest, follow people on Twitter who share similar research interest with you. Don't forget to always ask questions. In fact form the habit of questioning everything
9) Chose your area of specialization and research interest based solely on your passion. When you're passionate about a research findings it makes it easier to progress. Be guided!!!
10) Equip yourself with so much knowledge during your PhD, don't leave PhD empty, your PhD knowledge will prepare you and skyrocket you to greatness. During my PhD I learnt how to use so many software such as Autodock, Autodock vina, NAMD, SPSS, pyrx, pymol, Discovery studio, Avogadro, Sigmaplot, Datawarrior etc and all was fun. I had friends on Facebook (non Nigerians) to teach and guide me through each software


Conclusion
Though I am not a professor yet, but I believe that at the appropriate time I will. I made it this far, I know that everyone else will. School is fun not scam. One day I know that my certificates will fetch me greatness because I don't just wanna be a salary earner I want to be remembered for my contribution to knowledge.

My name is E.E.M Kyari BSc., PGDE, MSc., PhD
Nice write up. However, your point of being an island in a PhD journey isn't correct. You'll need like minds to help motivate you when your spirit is down when challenges come whilst on the program. You'll need guidance for things you don't understand. You can't do any if you are an island. I remember when I got my PhD in Feb, 2020 all through my lab work I needed the help of both IT students and full staff in the lab at that time. Even my friends put me through using SPSS, if I was a loner it would've been harder. And definitely those degrees would pay off at the end. I'm currently in the industry and still pushing for higher positions. B.Sc Biochemistry, P.GD Chemistry, M.Sc and Ph.D Environmental Management.

The APC presidential primary will be a very competitive one with aspirants like Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Yemi Osinbajo, Dave Umahi, Rotimi Amaechi etc. A free, fair and credible primary election will be conducted and the winner will be supported at the general election.

There will be no consensus so Amaechi should start a nationwide consultation immediately. I wish him the best of luck as he pursues his presidential ambition.
Amaechi/El Rufai ticket. 2031 El Rufai would then take over.
