You should be able to afford the standard you are projecting by yourself.
You can't be projecting and breaking up with men for a standard you can't afford yourself.
You expect men that would give you 100k for your hair when you can't work your self to cough out that amount to pay for your hair.
Is dating a job?
I don't blame you though... I blame men struggling to prove anything to such girls.
You can't say my standard is 100k hair styles meanwhile without a man sponsoring you can never afford such a lifestyle.
That's not your standard if you can't do it without assistance.
:::
u have said it all.
A girl who cannot afford a special lifestyle should not demand that men afford it on their behalf. They should stop and ask themselves “what if this man leaves me or dies? Can I still afford this lifestyle beyond that point?”
JuanDeDios: Context. How many pigs are there? How many pens? If it's small outfit starting with just one pen and two pigs, there's no way he can pay more than that. Whoever takes the job will work there for 30-50min every morning before going on this other hustles.
even if it is 100 pigs. That job cannot take more than 1 hour a day.
Rapmoney: A farm owner in Enugu has received backlash and strong criticism over a job post that offers 20k monthly salary. Many feel the salary offer is a pure manifestation of wickedness due to the economic situation and high rate of joblessness among young people.
most jobs of this nature can be completed under 2hrs. To spend 2hrs in the morning to do this and then go your way to do any other job is not really such a bad deal. I am not saying it is wonderful, but it’s just 2hrs.
I am talking from experience. I use to run a farm. There is this big piggery close to my poultry farm. The worker does not spend more than 2hrs every morning to finish his job and go do other stuff. He comes by 5.30 and before 7am he is done for the day.
Kobojunkie: Na! His students were already on Reddit complaining from over a year ago! if he had kept to himself, it would still have eventually happened. 😒😒
I do not believe that a university like Cambridge can hand out tenure to a minority like Jason Arday without thorough scrutiny of his credentials. I stopped believing Reddit, twitter and quora a long time ago. Those spaces are full of highly bigoted, bitter and racist individuals
DoWhatThouWilt: She is a professor. She worked hard for it and she probably has knowledge she would like to share but she knows she is black (Of African origin) and she understands her environment very well. So she decided to avoid EVERY interview.
That is HUMILITY. Humility is not weakness. When you are HUMBLE, you will have common sense that will make you take wise decisions.
Before you japa to work or further your education in a white man's land, drop that your "i beta pass my neighbor" mentality if you want to live in peace overseas.
That mentality may have worked for you very well here in this lawless terrain but it will NEVER work for you in their land.
BE HUMBLE
SPOT ON
I wrote same thing about this issue on Facebook just hours ago. Are u sure u did not copy what I wrote?
How come this man read my mind? I was just responding exactly same thing to someone on Facebook about this issue. prof Jason would have enjoyed a quiet and fulfilled life As an academic of he had just stayed out of the limelight
HacheNoire: At least, they will state grounds for refusal.
Refusal that might have been prevented if u calm down arrange ur application urself, instead of giving it to an agent who cannot tell ur story as well as you can tell it
Promisesmiling: "The kind of challenge I love. I'm definitely joining this..."
Those were my words on April 1, 2023, during my first semester as a Direct Entry student at the University of Jos. Earlier that day, while scrolling through a Nairaland thread titled "My First Semester University Result", I came across a discussion started by a Law student documenting his journey towards graduating with a First-Class degree.
As I read through the comments, two in particular caught my attention.
"Well done bro, and more power to your elbow. I promise you at least ₦500K (could be way higher) if you graduate with a first class. Please bookmark this post and remind me later. Best wishes." — Yoighaman
Another user added:
"I'll also gift you ₦200K if you make a first class... Mention me then." GeneralPula
Although those comments weren't directed at me, something about them resonated with me. Without thinking twice, I replied:
"The kind of challenge I love. I'm definitely joining this. Just started my D.E. programme, still awaiting my first semester result."
A few minutes later, another reply came:
"Kindly join the challenge."
I smiled. Little did I know that those few words would become a promise I would carry with me for the next three years.
Before arriving at the University of Jos, I had graduated from the Federal Polytechnic, Bauchi, where I studied Public Administration and finished with a Distinction (3.95/4.00). Through Direct Entry, I gained admission on merit into the University of Jos to study Political Science. Getting admitted wasn't the challenge.
The challenge was proving that I could leave one institution, switch to a different discipline, adapt to a completely new academic environment, and still compete with the very best. As a Direct Entry student, I was joining a department where many students had already spent years together. They understood the system, knew the lecturers, and had already established themselves academically. Being a non-indigene also meant I often felt I had to work twice as hard just to prove that I belonged. Yet I refused to allow my background to become my limitation. The journey wasn't without its moments of doubt.
One semester in particular my 300 Level, first semester tested me like never before. When the results were released, six out of the seven courses I took came back with exactly the same score: 68. In our grading system, 70 earns an A. I was just two marks short in six different courses. Ironically, the only A I had that semester came from a course outside my department. I won't pretend that it didn't hurt, seeing six courses stop exactly two marks short of an A was one of the most discouraging moments of my academic journey. For a moment, I questioned everything, I wondered whether I would ever reach the goal I had set for myself, but instead of allowing disappointment to define me, I chose to let it refine me.I became even more determined.
University, for me, was never just about academics. Beyond the classroom, I had the privilege of serving as the Secretary General of the National Association of Political Science Students (NAPSS), University of Jos Chapter. I represented my department at the American Space during the commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, where I delivered a speech inspired by Dr. King's vision and legacy. I worked with classmates on research presentations, supported group members whenever I could, participated in departmental programmes, attended social events, enjoyed sporting activities, and embraced every opportunity to grow beyond the four walls of the classroom. I wanted my transcript to reflect excellence. But I also wanted my leadership, service, relationships, and character to reflect growth.
Balancing academics, leadership, and an active social life wasn't easy.There were demanding lectures, endless assignments, meetings, presentations, deadlines, sleepless nights, and moments of self-doubt. Yet through God's grace, discipline, consistency, resilience, and the support of family, friends, mentors, and colleagues, I kept going.
Fast forward to 2026. By the grace of God, I graduated from the University of Jos with a First-Class degree. The first time was nice, so I had to do it twice. A Distinction in Public Administration from the Federal Polytechnic, Bauchi and First-Class Honours degree in Political Science from the University of Jos. Different institutions, different disciplines but the same commitment to excellence.
Today, I remembered that Nairaland thread. Three years ago, I accepted a challenge from strangers on the internet.Today, I'm back to say… Challenge completed. To everyone pursuing a dream whether you're a Direct Entry student, a transfer student, a newcomer, or simply someone trying to prove that you belong, remember this: Your background does not determine your destination. Your environment does not have the final say. Stay disciplined, stay consistent, trust God through the process and when the day finally comes you wouldn't need to convince anyone ...Your results would speak for you.
@Yoighaman @GeneralPula
@olawalebabs @Richiez @Fynestboi Please help me push to the front page.
I was reading while searching frantically for the course of study. The moment I saw political science, that was where I stopped reading. Congratulations anyway. But I am not impressed with this. Get a first class in engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry if u want to gain my admiration.
What will you do with a first class in political science other than join the academics or …….if u are politically connected……u may get a politician to make u an assistant
Glimpsetv: Woman Who Asked Husband to Swear Against Cheating Shares Her Own Faithfulness Vow
The Nigerian woman who asked her husband to publicly vow never to cheat on her before she brings him to Canada has now made a similar promise of her own.
Ezinne Maryjane Nwanorue shared a video on social media in which she pledged to remain sexually faithful to her husband, Franklin Chimaobim Nwanorue, for the rest of their marriage. In the emotional video, she declared that if she ever becomes unfaithful to him, she should die in the name of Jesus Christ.
Beyond promising fidelity, Ezinne also vowed to remain a loving and supportive wife to her husband and a caring mother to their children. She prayed that God would help them keep their promises and use their marriage as a positive example to other couples.
Her video comes shortly after her husband's public declaration gained widespread attention online. In his own video, Franklin apologized for his past mistakes and promised never to cheat on his wife after joining her in Canada. He also declared that if he ever broke that promise through infidelity, he should die in the name of Jesus Christ.
The couple's public exchange of vows has continued to generate mixed reactions on social media. While some people have praised their willingness to hold each other accountable and start afresh, others believe such deeply personal commitments should have remained private.
Watch the video and share your thoughts in the comments.
HacheNoire: Do you know celebs and the wealthy don’t apply for visa personally.
Try to listen to Abdul Samad Rabiu’s interview about expired visa on arriving to airport. He doesn’t even know and blamed other people for such.
50 cent also stated in one interview that he does not remember when last he did anything on travels.
It is a norm to outsource your travel plans.
Are u a celebrity? Why should a famous celebrity struggle to travel when he is already well known and the visa officer faces lesser stress in vetting him/her? Na wa for you ooo.
I am talking about a common man, a nobody trying to travel to better his life and u are comparing the scenario with celebrities like burna boy, Davido, dangote etc.
Rebuker: Two men allegedly caught stealing peppers from a farm were reportedly forced to sit on the ground and eat the raw hot peppers they were accused of stealing, washing them down with dry gin.
The man in the safety vest is visibly struggling, his face twisted in pain as he sweats through every bite. The other man, in a blue shirt, is trying to hold himself together, but it's clear both are enduring intense discomfort.
Judging by the comments, tomorrow may be even worse for them. One person joked about a "volcanic eruption," referring to the inevitable aftermath.
It's another example of jungle justice—creative, harsh, and, to some, a deterrent against would-be thieves. However, it's worth remembering that such punishments are extrajudicial and can easily become abusive, regardless of the accusation.
who is the idiot in the background saying they should not eat the peppers? That person must be a thief too. If u know the pain and the risk farmers face in raising crops and livestock in Nigeria, then u must agree that stealing from them should be punishable by hanging
HacheNoire: Travel agency’s have been in business since the beginning of travels. Not everyone has that time or knowledge of going through requirements and applications.
It’s norms and point should be using registered and accredited ones with vast years of experience.
Believe it or not. Travel agencies are the reason for many refusals….,,especially when u are actually qualified for what u are applying for. I mean fully qualified and have all the requirements.
Originalsly: Hmmm ... people need to be careful of what they say online ... a visa can be revoked.
I'm still finding it difficult to understand why someone with a solid secondary school background would pay an agent to apply for a visa. I'm sure these agents are the cause of many being denied visas. There is nothing complicated in a visa application ...everything is is spelled out
exactly bro.
People keep talking about visa denial……I can’t even relate. I and my family have never been denied any application in our japa journey so far, and we always do everything ourselves. We don’t use agents. We simply do our homework, ensure we are qualified for what we are applying for and then carefully prepare our application. E no too hard.
Dpharmacist: A post by a Nigerian nurse recently caught my attention. She shared how her first salary in 2022 was just ₦21,000. After resigning from that job, she attended interviews at a specialist hospital only to be offered ₦23,000 for 12 hour shifts, a heavy patient workload, and demanding working conditions. She declined the offer and eventually accepted another position that paid modestly but treated her with dignity.
Whether every hospital pays this poorly is another discussion. Some government hospitals and well established private facilities pay significantly far more. However, it is no secret that many private hospitals across Nigeria have been accused of paying nurses wages that barely cover transportation while expecting them to work long hours under intense pressure.
The bigger issue is not just the salary.
Many nurses complain about being overworked, verbally abused, assaulted by patients or their relatives, and threatened with dismissal whenever they speak up. Add poor pay, staff shortages, and the rising cost of living, and it becomes easier to understand why so many Nigerian nurses are leaving the country.
The consequences affect all of us.
When experienced nurses leave, the remaining ones have to care for more patients. Burnout increases. Waiting times become longer. Medical errors become more likely. Eventually, patients also suffer.
No healthcare system can thrive if the people keeping it running are exhausted, underpaid, and undervalued.
Supporting nurses does not mean ignoring the challenges hospitals face. Healthcare facilities also deal with rising operating costs. However, expecting highly trained professionals to shoulder enormous responsibilities for wages that cannot sustain a decent standard of living is not a sustainable solution.
Healthcare workers deserve fair pay, safe working conditions, protection from workplace violence, and opportunities for professional growth. Patients also deserve motivated healthcare professionals who can give their best without constantly worrying about survival.
Nigeria cannot build a stronger healthcare system while treating its frontline workers as disposable.
What do you think? Should there be a minimum wage standard specifically for nurses and other healthcare professionals working in private hospitals?
I don’t believe the story. Not in the 2022, definitely not today. In 2022, I was paying my farm hand 30000 a month. If I were still running that farm today, my conscience will not let me pay him less than #80,000 even when I am not making profit.
Except the poster is a secondary school drop out claiming a nursing qualification that does not exist, it is not possible that a hospital in Nigeria will see to pay a qualified nurse 21k in 2022.
Afrojuju2017: But what is the point of a chartered accountant that is not legally liable, can she even be sued to court as an adult for professional misconduct.
She has passed her ICAN but I doubt she'll be able to work as a chartered accountant till she is 18 and then which company would employ someone who doesn't have at least a bachelor's degree.
I wrote exactly the same thing. I thought other pple will say I have bad belle. I am glad a lot of people here are also seeing this in the same way.
Anyway, I became a chartered accountant at 24, about 3yrs after I graduated from university. The combo opened doors for me real fast
Congratulations. But how do one finish secondary school at 13 years? Also, what is the benefit of getting an ICAN qualification which you cannot use until graduate from a university?
I feel this is a waste of time and lack of strategic vision by the parents. Those 3 years could have easily been spent learning and perfecting a craft or……..since the parents had cash to fund ICAN exams……. They could have encouraged her to seek for other high impact IT certifications to achieve. U can always write ICAN exams side by side with your university exams and by the time u graduate with a degree and the certification, u will have a better labour market appeal.
I agree with you Mr Taiwo Oyedele, You are one of the major role models I looked up when I started my career 20 years ago. (Not sure if I should still see u as a role model today since u are now a politician.)
However, I think the IMF is not talking about expenditures from reported revenue, but rather, about expenditures from revenue that was never reported. We are talking about revenue from waec fees, jamb fees, school fees and other charges from the hundreds of federal and state tertiary institutions out there, illegal and unapproved taxes and levies collected by and sometimes on behalf of various federal and state govt agencies. Trust me, if you add up the sum, it is probably more than 2% of GDP
Juliette5803: So from where was the staff of the scam organization getting their salaries from? They didn't mention the website hosted on government domain He even hosted top government dignitaries including foreigners Got approval for 300 staffs including assistant directors How was he lucky and smart all these while If it was an illegal agency.....why did the FG wait for so long to issue that statement They shot themselves in the foot with that press statement, no individual opens account with the CBN, IF you know the kind of scrutiny documents go through before approval at CBN, CBN is a highly regimented organization Even getting memos to represent Nigeria Whoever is behind this man and this "scam" must be influential
Exactly what I was saying. This guy is fake, but he obviously has the backing of someone powerful enough to get both the CBN and the OAGF to turn a blind eye to the obvious anomaly. Only someone with the powers of an SGF or a chief of staff can achieve that easily.
Femi Gbajabiamila is telling us less than he knows
ChristoBam: Also the phone stopped charging two times at 80 percent. Saying it'll contain charging after the phone temperature calms down a bit. That ever happened to your phones?
that’s normal. It is a fail safe measure to protect the phone. Restore it now
ChristoBam: Hello guys, I just got an iPhone 12 pro max UK used from a vendor. Thing is I've never really used an iPhone in recent years so I don't know if some tgings are normal.
My phone geta hot after short use. Not super hot that it's uncomfortable. But really hot that you notice. If in using Whatsapp, after a while it gets a bit warm. After playing COD twice, it gets noticeable hot.
Is this normal?
get reformat the phone to factory settings using a PC. Don’t restore ur apps from iCloud backup if u have one. Just redownload them from AppStore
U09ce: Easier said than done. Mr Oyedele will now get to really know who politicians are. What is happening to federal budget pass the power of a single minister. Infact, it'll take the president some big guts to curtail the abuse from his own end and that of the legislature.
i know oyedele personally. He taught me almost 20 years ago when I was preparing to write ICAN exams. He is a good man, he is a smart man and definitely a round peg in a round hole for that job. However, this job will be a true test of character and integrity for him. Nigerian politics is not your mate, it will change u
Rapmoney: A Nigerian woman has made a video, accusing Nigerian Minister of Works, David Nweze Umahi of owing her the sum of 250 million Naira for contracts for the past 12 years, and has refused to pay her because she rejected his request for a relationship.
The video was made before she was arrested by the police on the order of Mr Umahi. She has been taken to Abuja, and has insisted that David Umahi was intimidating her.
Political activist, Omoleye Sowore has also accused David Umahi of using government power to intimidate citizens over personal issues. Sowore accosted Umahi at the police headquarters yesterday while Umahi had arranged with police for the woman to be presented, where he ended up threatening her. There were altercations between Mr Sowore and security personnel of the minister.
The allegation that David Umahi ordered a woman’s arrest over a long-standing debt dispute has intensified scrutiny of arrest practices in Nigeria. If courts exist to adjudicate debt claims, why resort to arrest? Does influence determine how quickly the police act?… pic.twitter.com/wKAbKDozT6
first of all, this is ridiculous. Without absolving the past governor from anything I have some questions here what did she sell to the past govenor for 250m? Does she have a contract? Does she have an invoice? Assuming she executed a contract for the state govt, govt is a continuum and she is owed by the government and not the governor.
Finally if her allegations is confirmed, then I think Dave Umahi has a very poor taste in choice of mistresses.
DeepSight: This has to be carefully read. Section 228 of the Criminal Code reads -
"Any person who, with intent to procure miscarriage of a woman whether she is or is not with child, unlawfully administers to her or causes her to take any poison or other noxious thing, or uses any force of any kind, or uses any other means whatever, is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for fourteen years."
This is open to interpretation.
Exactly. It is open to several interpretations. I have frequently heard of medically recommended abortions, it is common when a woman has health issues that would make carrying a baby to term to be fatal for her. Now that is a loop hole a lot of doctors can use to legalise abortion.
fuckingAyaya: Ola of lagos started like that today he owns several properties worth millions of dollars. Not everyone will make it through certificates or business, Nigeria don cast the youths are angry and frustrated they solely depend on social media money like Facebook and tiktok all thanks to the wicked leaders that never invested in human capital. Have you been to an embassy before? Go there you will shed tears.
the likes of Ola of Lagos, Peller, portable etc reminds me of the gullibility of Nigerians. We usually manage to make stupid people famous
SoftSport: Paid Igbo youths disguising as Yorubas all in a bid to paint a false narrative that the Yorubas are free in Igbo land... DOA.
sense is far from you.
I recognize many people in those photos. They are all yorubas. Of course a lot of igbos who grew up in lagos and enjoy the Yoruba culture will join them here to make merry.
njokuuche77: It’s definitely possible, but it takes a lot of intentional planning, patience and calmness. My wife tends to shout too in the mornings, and I notice it affects everyone. I started to involve myself by prepping uniforms and school bags the night before, setting alarms earlier, and using calm music or helping out in the kitchen. This helped alot.
Children respond better when things are not rushed. It's not easy, but with some teamwork and consistency, it can be done."
I agree with this. However it is not always possible to do things without rushing. My second son will wake up early but will play around and do every other nonsense rather than preparing for school.
My daughter will have to be begged, screamed at, cajoled and bribed to get off the bed and get onto the bathroom. And all the while I am trying to coordinate them to bathe and get ready, I am also juggling the preparation of breakfast for them and packing lunch for them. And I need to bath and get to work too. E no funny. And I am a man ooo
Mariangeles: Start by helping her get the kids ready for school. Your wife is not crazy, she's overwhelmed.
Is that so hard to understand?
the only sensible comment so far.
Here in diaspora, I am obliged to help get my kids ready for school everyday. Trust me, it is not funny. I finally understood why my wife was always screaming.
