Ndipe: There is no record of the number of the wise men who visited Jesus Christ. Besides, they visited him when he was a child, not when he was a baby.

Na u sabi

[quote author=ezzy-e]Guys, i am a 28 yr old guy dating a 23yr old lady. I am in lagos and she is in Owerri. We have been together 4 3yrd nao. I completed my service in 2011 and ever since av been lookin 4 a job. I have promised marriage to her and but d thing here is am still looking 4 a job almost a year and half after service. I travel to owerri once every 2 months to check up on her and most tyms wen am der i either miss an interview or a test. She has managed wit me all thru these years. But just last month she said funny things, she started asking me wat i wld do if she was pregnant, or was dating sum1 else. I asked her if she was and she just said she wanted to know. I told her i was sure that wldnt happen because we wernt avin any problems in our r/ship so y wld she want out. Not until a few weeks back that she called me in d morning and asked me how my job search was going and if i had gotten a job. I am sure my answers were not encoraging enuf then she dropped the bomb. Said she was dating a guy in owerri, and dat shes in love with him, by d way d guy in question knows mw as her fiance. Even when i am in owerri, she still hangs with d guy till 9, 10pm at nite and i wld call and beg her to come home just 4 me to see her. I mean i left lagos to spend time with u in owerri yet ur busy with anoda guy? Wen i say dat all she says is am givin her a heartache and i was not making her happy. She accused me of alot of tinz which r true anyway, she said i abandon her because of a football match, but then i ALWAYA invite her to join me in seeing those matches but she refuses, she said she hates sport but she joins this guy to a sports club where they play snooker together. She just refuses to go on a fun outing with me but enjoys it wit dis oda guy. Wen i complained she said he is just a good friend, i mean i cld b with her in an eatery and dis guy wld call 4 close to 15minutes and she wldnt say sorry. I dont av a job yet, but i will get a job soon by His Grace. I have denied myself certain pleasures of life just to support her needs financially, i have missed potential jobs in lagos because i had to checkup on her, i made her a priority (big mistake) and now shes taking me for a ride. She even tells her new guy all d problems we have. When she promised with her own MOUTH that no 3rd party will be brot into our problems. I call her on d fone, its busy for close to an hour, wen she finally picks she tells me shes tired and dat she wants to sleep. I dont sleep, i dont eat, i cant even focus....i am so demoralised and destabilised....she is now strongly romantically involved with this guy and i mean strongly but she says she hasnt crossed the line yet. But i mean, kissing a guy everyday, isnt that cheating as well? And not just kissing, am sure there wld be loads of body smooching and all that. I asked her, why dint u just give me dat little honour i dont deserve by breaking off with me first b4 engaging this guy...she ignores me. Guys I am so tortured...i cld go and on and on. I have never had any oda girl aside her. I have beeen sooooo committed to his girl that even when shes dead broke i wld send her my last change only 4 her to use d money meant 4 her to buy perfimes for her new guy. I registered a biznes that she runs 4 me in owerri, we deal with nursery/primary schools. Between september and december we made 130k. I only asked her to send me 5k because i felt she needed the money more. Now she says i am uncaring, am not hardworking enuf dats y i dont have a job yet and other evryday problems couples regularly have. Those are my crimes. But i have never let our problems evceed 24hours b4 resolving dem even if i d offended have to say sorry i will. She says she has lost memory of our 3 years togeda. She doesnt remember anything worthy of note, that she loves the guy and wants to leave me. I have begged and begged but the truth is dis girl is toying seriosly with my emotions. I had to go meet her parents and told them wat was happening, they were shocked and said they wld wait 4 her to return and find out from her. But she had told her elder broda dat she wants out and dat it was her decision to make, no one shd force her to make a decision cos she wld live with it 4 d rest of her life. "people do change", she says. I am perplexed because i totally dont get it. I love this girl so much, shd i let her go or shd i keep fyting to win her back?[/quote]Yeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhh! See another maga! Mo gbe! Bro pls go and wise up o, these gurls are idiats, see, your's is only different from mine cos of the job you do not have, but aside that, everything you wrote up there were my experiences. Pls, forget her, if you don't, then you are on your own.
Believe me, the guy has been phucking her, she only told you 10% of what is between them. I can tell that, am talking from experience.
Please, these girls want bad guys of which that your successor is one. So, sorry for talking this way, but that's the plain truth. Abeg, 'wise up' o.

Chai! I suffer no be small.

Please, if you desire to be successful, do not bother to read that up there, you will just waste your time and energy.

To disprove the assertions of tribalists here, I vote 'oluwashina' Achebe.

Hope you guys are now satisfied?

Chai! Nairaland is interestingly a crazeland.

Yellow Gurls
The thing tire me o.

Tashamania: I don't do yorubas, sorry.

Buhahahahaha!you bahd!

@op, Am game too.

^^^ Christ's intercession for us?

tarababy: I have spoken to the pastor,friends and family.He promised all of them he would stop but obviously he can't control his temper.
i have suggested anger management course but he has refused to ever attend such course.
He would destroy door,throw pot of stew in the sink and any disgusting thing when he is angry.

Pathetic situation! He needs deliverance. Sefini!

Idiats! But wait! We can't blame them, we can only castigate Jonathan, he is solely responsible for all these casualities because of his cluelessness and gentleness, for all I know is 'one day, we shall overcome'.

Btw, We're used to news like this.

Nawa o, this is strange! Why are some men like this now?
@op, please, be cool, can you guys settle this in a family meeting? Like your family and his come together and a premise is reached. The premise will be that any other time he tries that again, it is a divorce straight (only you will know that it is just to scare him, at least you wouldn't want a divorce), I think that will scare him, since it is a family thing. To be frank with you, this can't be settled within both of you and its getting escalated, if something is not done soon, he'll pour poo on you someday.

NB: this is only possible if you guys normally come home like once in a year, if not, then I fear that that up there is not feasible.

Above all, be prayerful.

E kpele ma, that's marraige for you, coming together of two different persons with diff (animalistic) characters.

Are you out of your mind? A news with no source! Na wa o

We don show! Chelski must loose today. Hahahahahaha

^ wrong!
Btw, you are a learner.

Igala

Tunde Bakare

afolayangs: first to comment. tnx dude

Hahahaha! Eeeeeediot! I bet you never did go through the post.

Who's got these ones around here?

Nonsense!

^^^^ ...........and why do you think this is the best/right place to do this

[quote author=yemmy_ma]^^^^ Oga mi sir, I think you are right, but I will still disagree with you, reason is that for those stated up there, like six or seven out of them are relevant, how? Let's take them one by one:


How many people get good jobs without NYSC? Like who cares about a non-degree holder?



With who? IF only you went to Babcock, Covenant and the likes


Well you faced the fact


Of course! This will go a long way esp. When looking for jobs after school. It will tell employers somethings about the jobseeker. It is very simple to do.

5. I would have applied to more jobs, earlier.

This with no 1 are quite tough anyway, but a trial might bring something positive.


quote]
7. I would have done more to figure out what my career goals were.

This is something personal, we can say personal discovery and development.


Maybe Guidance and Counselling section in Universities would help cure this horrible

8. I would have gone to the career center.

There are non in our universities, but uncles and brothers that have experience can help out here, just to guide them.


9. I would have kept better track of my achievements.

Whaoh! This is quite important especially if you want to get into this multinationals and big coys.

Maybe a First class is enough? or debate competition, essay?

10. I would have focused more on developing relevant skills.

Seriously, this is very very important, as in, development of skills is quite necessary and it will go a long way, no need to explain further because it is always stressed here on nairaland. You can do this in many ways when in school.

Yeah, now possible in a more global environment. Thanks to computers[/quote]Well said!

Seriously, getting jobs without NYSC is really a tough one, but people still do, meanwhile I already stated it that it is a 20-80 thing, and its out of it.

Also, as regards networking, communication and interpersonal skills are basically needed here, and even been inquisitive can still help out here, in this case, it is applicable almost everywhere and not in only private Uni's.

I say yes to those you stated as achievements up there.

AjanleKoko: In fact, apart from medical personnel and lawyers, who are clearly needed in Nigeria, I struggle to see the value of any other course of study in Nigeria. Engineering included. Good technical colleges and polytechnics may be all we need at this point, frankly speaking.

You are right, but I think we have them plenty, it is just that their products are made irrelevant, and their natural and acquired capabilities and abilities are channeled to the wrong place, that is why you see OND holders, whether engineering or any other field aside accountancy/banking and finance, in banks, why? because that's the only sector that can absorb significant percentage of them. It is quite unfortunate.
Sincerely, we have at least average or close to good technical colleges and polys.

^^^ We all know that the economy is just developing, fine, but there are still some jobs out there, and believe me, it is even almost the same everywhere, the difference is not much, the U.S, U.K and what have we, for example, a case of an average of 3 positions to 400 applicants in Nigeria is predominant in the U.K and U.S too, so?

The only thing is that, the few white collar jobs out there are for those that thought/think it well right from school, and that is the intent of the article up there, to help those coming, so they have edge over the unserious ones or themselves.

Abi bros, if you are chanced to go back to School, won't you want to get far above where you are now? And this can be achieved through those 'listed' up there. We know the system is bad, but what can these ones coming do in order to achieve their aims and to even bail the system out of it's decay?

NB: No one is derailing, at least these shitties are still related to the subject matter.

^^^^ Oga mi sir, I think you are right, but I will still disagree with you, reason is that for those stated up there, like six or seven out of them are relevant, how? Let's take them one by one:

1.I would have started looking for jobs earlier.

Seriously, like one's year 4 and 5 can be good times for this, at least we have some that got jobs before graduation. Okay, it is a 20-80 situation, so, its out.

2.I would have actually networked.

Please what do you think about this? Since networking gives 60% assurance of jobs. Knowing the right people and believe me, this can be done in school, just be dilligent and know how to mix with people, both mates and those established.

3.I would have taken on a job or an internship in addition to my course-load.

This is possible in Nigeria, just that it won't be easy, but I think with lots of searching on the students side and the willingness of employers, then it is feasible. Btw, most multinational coys and firms give chances to students as regards that.

4. I would have gotten more involved in career-relevant extracurricular activities.

Of course! This will go a long way esp. When looking for jobs after school. It will tell employers somethings about the jobseeker. It is very simple to do.

5. I would have applied to more jobs, earlier.

This with no 1 are quite tough anyway, but a trial might bring something positive.

6. I would have focused more on becoming professional.

Oga me sir, no need to do justice to this, except for the sake of those still in school. Professionalism is the best.

7. I would have done more to figure out what my career goals were.

This is something personal, we can say personal discovery and development.

8. I would have gone to the career center.

There are non in our universities, but uncles and brothers that have experience can help out here, just to guide them.

Bros, you see that this is even more of a personal thing, although the impact of these universities and their environs cannot be left out.

P.s: permit my typos, it isn't easy.

In school it’s easy to keep the reality of post-college life at bay.

It may feel like the start of your career is way off. The reality is you must be ready to compete for the job,aggressively, well before you hear the heady strains of Pomp and Circumstance.

If, by the months leading to your graduation you haven’t prepared, you’re in for a lengthy and more difficult job search than you could have had. This great post summarized what recent grads learned as they made the transition from college life into the real world.

Let’s just say: Regrets… they’ve had a few.

Here are the top 10 things recent grads said they would do differently if they had it to do over.

-I would have started looking for jobs earlier.
-I would have actually networked.
-I would have taken on a job or an internship in addition to my course-load.
-I would have gotten more involved in career-relevant extracurricular activities.
-I would have applied to more jobs, earlier.
-I would have focused more on becoming professional.
-I would have done more to figure out what my career goals were.
-I would have gone to the career center.
-I would have kept better track of my achievements.
-I would have focused more on developing relevant skills.

If you are still in school, you have time to take some corrective action.

What choices will you make now? Recent grads: do you agree?

BIGER BOY: I had this interview last year outside the country for a YPP all expenses paid for including hotels and intercontental dishes. Their package were WOW, u were allowed to bring 4 family members with u if u get the job and they will be paid some amount if they dont work, up to 4 of ur kids (if u have) education will be sponsored to the tune of $16,000 dollars yearly, a generous pension scheme and medical retirement plan.


Oh boy i will tell u what happened at the interview later, after i cool down from vexing that messed up at the interview

Hey! Come back here and tell us what happened at the interview.

dmcdad: **Following**

**Following too**

mayorjo: How I wish that those Buldozer get Spoil and Stop Working, Demolision of building is not the best, But let them go and Build Roads in the Bush..
Wisdom is Better than Power..

Whaoh! Are you for real?

Josh090: @tomakint, I don't have any thing against igbos, I had an Igbo room mate for 4 out of my 6 years in the uni and he is my brother. I served in south south but go to south east often so, am not a stranger to igboland, although I was robbed at onitsha once but I don't hold it against them, but I only speak against those peddling lies about Ibadan and yoruba people in general both Igbo and Yoruba doesn't matter.

You should not have included the bolded, it isn't helping matters at all.

Paul John: May be you visit oluyole estate to understand how industrious Ibadan is. Believe me, the whole thing you call industry I your Enugu is not up to half of what's in IB. Wonder why she's the fourth most productive state in the federation, behind Lagos, Rivers(oil) and Delta(Oil)

You are not far from the truth, for real, there are many companies in Ibadan, I once argued with someone about this, but I was disproved of my assertions when we visited only Oluyole Estate.

IYA NGBALI: omo ale ni e,ko de ni da fun awom molebi e

Yeeeeepaaaaahhhh! See curse! Mama ngbali, take am easy o.

ogbeche77: Which batch? And where's Ur PPA?

B and it is an organisation jare. U nko?

ogbeche77: Except NYSC just began to give people option of where they can serve, how are you so sure you ll serve there?

You got that from my mind, anyway, if he works his way to Abeokuta, he's cool, just that to me, I think the surburbs are better.

ogbeche77: Serving there... So , technically yes

Whaoh! Am serving there too.

@OP, I heard that the house owners only were given money, those occupying the shops were just left to themselves. If it is that way, I think it isn't proper, where to sell is gone and no provision for them, this tends to increase the unemployment rate and the number of street urchins in Ogun state. Quite pathetic.
