PoliticsRe: Foreign Degree & The Nigerian Mentality by obi2012: 4:24pm On Mar 07, 2013
guy, its a lie.. Nigerian doctors simply do not cross over here (the US) and work in their field...

Sure, they bypass medical school but thats about it..

In the US, they are qualified to sit for USMLE step one.. which is the first step to getting licensed in the US.. you have to take it before you can partake in residency (housemanship).. During your housemanship which is 3 years, you have to sit for step 2 and step 3.. After you pass them and you complete your three years of housemanship (residency), you then sit for your boards before you can practice as a doctor..

This process is true for everyone regardless of which country you graduated in or how many years of experience you have.. There is no way around it..

My wife is a doctor here in the US at age 28.. that was the process..

My brother in law is a nigerian trained doctor with 8 years of experience.. he just applied for residency (housemanship) now and is hoping a hospital accepts him so that he can complete his training..

No ways around it.. It is a standardized process..

Ask anyone familiar with the medical field.. US doesnt even recognize UK or Canadian experience when it comes to their doctors..

ROSSIKE: You are really not very bright. Dr Oyesiku is simply one of the elders in an organisation with over 4,000 doctors. Do you think they are all 57 years old like him? You need to travel around, talk less and learn more. I have seen Nigerian doctors in the US and UK in hospitals. Majority of them are in their 30s. Some in their 20s. Not to mention other professionals. You have NO CLUE what is going on.



If you had less foam in your skull, you'd think twice about coming here to peddle beer parlour garbage thinking you're relating with your fellow illiterates.
PoliticsRe: Foreign Degree & The Nigerian Mentality by obi2012: 3:48pm On Mar 07, 2013
na lie o!!

ROSSIKE: More high-falutin lies. Graduates from Nigerian universities ROUTINELY leave the country and take up good employment commensurate with their degrees in the USA, UK and Europe. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants. Ever heard of the brain drain? There would be no brain drain if Nigerian universities were as terrible as you claim.

dude, you are a retard.. you are sitting there saying most men dont want their girl to be a virgin but then you are saying you want a virgin.. do you even think before you type? dont worry, keep waiting for a virgin ok? you go wait tire.. stupid idiot..

no guy would consider a girl that has slept with three different guys a slut? again did your dumbass read the thread? if you dont consider such a girl a slut then why are you looking for a virgin? you sir again have proven yourself to be an idiot who lacks logic..

double standards are inevitable but that doesn't make them ok.. stereotypes are inevitable but does that make it ok?

men like you are the reason women lie.. keep waiting for your imaginary virgin, bet you $100 that you wont be able to tell a virgin from one that isnt..


pleep: Dude are you a man? If you are you are a got-damn r.etard.


90% of men do not want their girlfriend to be a virgin. Virgin = no sex until marriage and most guys cant handle that. Secondly, no guy would consider a girl that has slept with only 3 different dudes a slut seeing as their are girls who have slept with triple that number getting treated like princesses.

Grow the hell up and just accept logic. Men and women are not the same.... thus certain double standards are inevitable
RomanceRe: Before Calling Your Girlfriend A Slut, Read! by obi2012: 2:22pm On Mar 07, 2013
Did you read this entire thread?

pleep: Most men don't expect or want their GFs to be virgins....i am the only one i know . Did you not read the thread on here that was basically bashing virgins? you clearly dont know anything about the average man, if you think we would call that a 'slut'


.... plz don't introduce more bs into this thread.
RomanceRe: Before Calling Your Girlfriend A Slut, Read! by obi2012: 2:12pm On Mar 07, 2013
I think you are missing their point kandi.. They all expect women to be virgins till marriage.. Just imagine if you are 27 and have been in 3 serious relationships lasting two years each and you slept with each bf during that period, you would be classified as a slut by their standards.. I see you get the hypocrisy part of it but you are missing the virginity part of their argument..

Whereas, most of the time, it's ok for men to do typically far worse than that.. I just think both groups should be held to similar standards.. If you are a guy that sleeps around, don't expect to end up with a saint.. The girls that aren't virgins had to have slept with their boyfriends who are men abi? So let's not classify everyone as a slut when they could have slept with their partners while they were in serious monogamous relationships..

kandiikane: There is no contradiction pleep, women complain because they don't understand how men can be negative regarding this issue when they are both basically doing the same thing. Hypocrisy and double standards.

The op is basically saying that^.and asking Why are you being a hypocrite?

I'm naturally a relationship first=intimate relations after aka 1 man woman but if I was going to lose my inhibitions like that. I definitely will know how to lose them so to not get branded as a slut even if I was sleeping with 10 men.
RomanceRe: Before Calling Your Girlfriend A Slut, Read! by obi2012: 7:20am On Mar 06, 2013
Wow... I am surprised at some of the comments I am reading..

The OP isn't justifying female promiscuity. He is saying women shouldn't be held to a double standard. If you want to marry a virgin, better make sure you are a virgin yourself. People complaining about women sleeping around, are the women sleeping around with themselves? Criticize the men that are sleeping with them too. Everyone claims they want a virgin but they are quick to cheat on her when she doesn't know her way around the bedroom.

The same people are the same guys that get mad when they are dating a girl and she wont sleep with them

It doesn't make you less a man but rather a complete rational, articulate person.

so guys, let's move this wonderful thread forward in one accord
PoliticsRe: Foreign Degree & The Nigerian Mentality by obi2012: 7:41am On Mar 05, 2013
Obviously, you dont go for a foreign degree to come back and work for someone in Nigeria.. Especially if you are looking at it from a immediate return on your investment point of view.. You also dont go abroad to study and return home with no experience at all in this economy..

Most multi-national jobs you look for you can attain such interviews with a nigerian degree so why go abroad if you know your intentions are to come back and work for the same company? Your goals could have been achieved by spending less money..

There are only so many jobs with so much talent struggling for the few available spots and the economy going bad in the western world, tons of people in diaspora and foreigners are coming back to compete for the few available posts.. Everyone keeps thinking about oil and working for telecoms, aren't there other industries?

i would consider myself one of the lucky few.. right out of secondary school, my parents sent me to the states to school not so that i could come back and work for anyone but so that i could stay out of trouble and graduate on time.. my bachelors and masters in engineering cost about $130,000 not counting living expenses at the time when i graduated in 2004.. Would it make sense for me to come back home to look for a high paying job? No..

My wife spent $300,000 in student loans and 7 years to get her medical degree and qualify as a doctor in the states, would it make sense for her to come back home to look for a job? No

Ever since 2008, regardless of where you go, things are tough.. You cant put all your eggs in one basket.. I work in project management for a fortune 500 firm now and make the equivalent of my school fees in a year and my wife does fairly well but does that make me feel secure or feel i am entitled to anything? No.. Instead, i diversify myself into doing everything to make extra cash on the side.. I dont live like a big man who has arrived, i do others things on the side to prepare for a rainy day.. I co-own a car dealership, i import commodities from nigeria, i setup networks for small businesses and also do IT support for them because no one knows tomorrow, no matter how qualified you are, your employment is not guaranteed..

Foreign degree or not, we need to lose our sense of entitlement.. Company owners dont owe us anything.. Do what you need to do to improve yourself.. Specialize in something, make yourself stand out.. Do something where employes seek you out and if you cant find employment, create your own employment.

Not every business requires tons of capital.. Think outside the box, no one owes you anything because you have a foreign degree.. Your foreign degree is meant to train you to think outside the box and add value to your society..

Everyone keeps telling me to come home and that i would find a job easily with all the big name companies i have worked for and my years of experience but frankly i really dont put any faith in that, i doubt any company would be able to match my pay here besides if i am moving back home, it would be to identify opportunities and create jobs not to hope for a job that might never pan out..
PoliticsRe: Nigeria Among World's Major Investment Destinations - KPMG by obi2012: 5:23pm On Mar 04, 2013
Lots of Americans, Europeans and Canadians are investing in Nigeria now o.. I am not talking $10k small small investments o.. We are talking big dollar investments in mining, agriculture, real estate and infrastructure..

meine: Nigerians just love deceiving themselves shaaa, i don't know if a Canadian will leave his fairly stable country and start looking for an uncertain country to invest in. How many long term investments in manufacturing or industrial goods are we attracting? ZERO. All we have is a deluge of Chinese, Lebanese and Indian investors with short term oriented and substandard projects. These People who are short of strong business ethics. Most of them use and pay our people so poorly. I have said it again and again that any country that build its economy on these is heading for failure.

Oga 2011 Audi a4 is not rear wheel drive.. Stop misyarning

chucky234: Your mumu go last,imagine you combing the internet to confirm if Audi has RWD car or not. What a beetle-headed goon.
I mentioned the 2011 2011 Audi A4 2.0T as well as the 2009 R8 LMS but your mumu nature will never allow you to confirm that instead you are busy copying websites.
What we are debating is the fact that you and friend said Audi has never ever made a Rear Wheel Drive cars and I mentioned the 2011 A4 2.0T as well as the 2009 R8 LMS,you said they were not made for the public.
Both cars are speed/racing cars but the fact remains they are both cars and not keke NAPEP,whether they are made for the public or not they are both cars with RWD drive type.
If you think you know so much about Audi cars from experience then post a picture of you driving your Audi so I can as well post mine,if own Audi 80 then don't bother posting.
Don't quote me without the pic because your level of ignorance is sickening.

Lol so u look for the car sotee you begin dey quote video game version of the car eh? The more you talk, the more stupid you sound.. There is no Audi a4 touring.. It only exists in gran turismo and a version that was designed for the Lemans endurance race which is not available to the public..

Oya, this is audis website.. Abeg show me the link for your rwd , Audi touring

http://models.audiusa.com/a4-sedan

This is the only Audi a4 touring, you'll ever see.. On a video game
http://cheatfx.com/2011-audi-05-audi-a4-touring-car-forza-motorsport/

So you stick to quoting video games while I drive the real deal.. I own an Audi and a Mercedes.. You are there dreaming about non existent car on a video game.. Abeg shut up when people that know what they are talking about are talking..

People are talking about real life cars, you are quoting a video game.. Height of stupidity..

chucky234: The 2011 A4 Touring and the 2009 R8 LMS are both Rear Wheel Drive.

Name one rear wheel drive Audi..

Audi only makes front wheel drive in some a4's.. Quattro all wheel drive is an option on the a4.
A6, s6, a8, a5, s8, rs8, rs6, rs5, r8, s4, rs4nd q-line trucks are all Quattro.
So which one remain to be rwd?

Uneducated mumu

Performance - BMW
Luxury/Reliability/Durability - Mercedes
Younger crowd - BMW

Only common flaw I have noticed on newer Mercedes is the air struts go bad often so we usually switch them to non air struts. Other than that, they are mostly reliable. Newer BMW's tend to have overheating, head gasket and transmission issues and occasionally some minor electrical problems. Audi's tend to have random electrical issues a lot. Typically, BMW parts are more expensive, followed by Audi and then Mercedes.

Sometimes, it's better not to talk at all than to talk about stuff you don't know

duke smith: Mercedes benz S-class 2012,
Horse power = 1150(can drag a trailer load of gari) lol,
Speed = 6gear/560kph.,thereby declared the fastest executive saloon on earth.
Therefore on performance, Durability, speed and strength, I give it to MB.
Check other specifications at web.
I own it, feel it and belived their advert that says "we are not overspeeding, but we are flying too low"
I have tryied stuffz on BMW and Audi but the best is MB anytime.
Car TalkRe: Benz vs BMW vs Audi: Pure German Machines! by obi2012: 2:31pm On Feb 25, 2013
Abeg no dey misyarn.. Audi does not make any rwd car.. Quattro means all wheel drive

[b][/b]
chucky234: Bro you need to try out the Audi A6 (quattro) RWD then you will see why Real Madrid made Audi its official car, Benz is amazing in terms of performance as I have used the 1990 190,2000 C200 and have driven a friend's 2003 C230 but you cant take it away from Audi and BWM when it comes to all round performance.
Audi's exterior and interior designs are un equalled,the only interior designs that come close are that of Volvo.

CelebritiesRe: Kim Kardashian Is In Nigeria! (Lagos) by obi2012: 1:46am On Feb 17, 2013
Lol most people are funny...

She made a sex tape with her bf at the time(ray j) and he leaked it out.. Instead of letting the bad publicity ruin her, she turned it into an empire. She alone is worth $50 million, her family is worth way more than that.

Everyone is lacking like they or their wives and girlfriends are virgins. The fact is many nigerian women have done a lot worse and have slept with a lot more people, even while married or even if the man in question is married. They just have been lucky enough not to have their own tape leaked out.

I am not condoning her as a positive role model for young girls but as a smart business woman. In a society as morally bankrupt as Naija where the sanctity of marriage is not valued and politicians and rich men openly have other girls in public, can we afford to judge her?

This is exactly why she is being paid a lot of money to co-host an event, because she generates publicity. She typically gets paid $250k and up for international appearances, so while we are here abusing her, our country that somehow can't provide for all its citizens is paying her fees, flying her in first class with all her entourage, police and soldiers are lying on the floor to greet her and I'd guess some big shot politicians will be showering her with gifts to try their luck. She has only been in the country for a few hours and look out how many pages the thread has.
