EducationRe: Is Spending N16M On A 3-Year Ph.D In The UK Worth It? by obstead200(m): 12:56pm On Mar 26, 2020

Those that don't have money will say "it isn't worth it"
Those that have the money will say "it is worth it"
The Optimist will say "It is worth it"
The pessimist will say "how can you even think about that"
.

As a realist, I would say this: studying for the PhD should have a reason why and that justifies the intention to spend 16 milli. Besides, 16 million is only an estimate. I spent over 20 million now. The UK educational system is very promising and encouraging and why the expense is overwhelming, the quality of education is second to non. Given that you are in line with your study, and with God on your side obviously, you can actually gain more after the completion of your study. Statistically, a lecturer earns at least £35k and above and the remuneration structure is fab! Now, if you don't intend to go into academia or research study, any employer will value your degree; it comes with a handsome package and a very well due respect. Alternatively, you can start your own firm because you will most definitely have an innovative idea during these 3 years programme undoubtedly,
For me, the money counts but contributing to the general body of knowledge is a bolster.
aunty, u are not being realistic. Maybe u are one of those silverspoon fed kids who are guaranteed a job placement back here in Naija. Or u are just schooling for the fun of it.(maybe because Ur husband wants a wife with a PhD).

Now listen, to be realistic, a PhD is basically a means to an end. And the end is simply more money.

So, for me, I can't spend that amount on any PhD except I have a position locked down waiting for me to step into as soon as I am done. Or unless I am very sure of getting a job placement in that foreign land as soon as I am done. If not, then the only way I can undertake such a PhD is through scholarship.

Trust me, PhD is research based. Which means u can do it anywhere, as long as u are willing to do the donkey work, u will still turn out a wonderful research and contribute greatly to the body of knowledge.
I however, had to admit that research is easier over there in UK cos u have access to prime data sources, premium online libraries and current methodologies.

You can easily make your money back, if you are having your PhD in one of d STEM courses, and have a chance of working in Europe, but if you will be returning to Nigeria after ur PhD, then I will suggest u get funding(scholarship).16M is a whole lot of money bro, but again maybe you a from a very wealthy family. Wish you d best.
gospel truth.

If you can get to stay back in the UK and work, then it's worth it.
If not, bros, get funding or stay home

EducationRe: Teachers Sent To Prison For Shaving Pupil’s Hair by obstead200(m): 5:20am On Mar 21, 2020
Simplyleo:
At 5, the appearance or turn out of a child is entirely the decision and responsibility of the parents. If a teacher or school has issues with the turn out of a 5 year old pupil, the best is to contact the parents and address it accordingly.

You don't just pick up razor blade and start shaving the hair of a 5 year old without the consent or knowledge of her parents.

Any teacher tries that shyt with me must pay for it. undecided
I see sense in this. I agree. At that age, it is the parents prerogative to decide how the child should look. If the school is not ok with it, they should ask the child to withdraw

Many of these girls are misusing and exagerrating this issue of rape and are getting away with it easily.. no thanks to them feminism and woman rights .
seriously, the thing dey vex me.
Virtually any girl u touch can claim rape and actually make the story stick.
The rules of evidence governing determination of guilt in a rape circumstance need to be urgently reviewed thoroughly. It does not favour men at all

Sorry its a bit long. Its just that I don't like anything that will disturb the peace of my mind. And again I have been to their family house and I know he can't do that there then why is he doing it in my place here
My dear, many men would find it difficult to reprimand their siblings because of ordinary food, especially if the age difference between them is not much. It belittles the man and makes him look petty. I too will find it difficult to act in this situation. Your husband is also trying to protect u. He does not want a situation where his siblings will say u are wicked and want to starve them because u married their brother.

U need to look for creative ways to peacefully address this problem. Or u just endure until Ur BIL does something worse, that would make Ur husband act. If Na just food, my dear, he may not act ooo

Wow I just read through your screenshots and I'm amazed at the kind of the audacity pistotita has. It's quite clear the man needs publicity and never got it. I came here from the onset and stated clearly on my post first Cucmber farm on 1acre and never solicited for funds in anyway but this guy keeps on showing himself. I'm even surprised that this topic was moved to FP cause I felt I haven't harvested yet, called a colleague of mine to express my shock. It's disappointing how people don't want people to grow how envy has eaten up their should and has kept dem to stink of bad character like stagnant water. God is the greatest. I'm new to farming and I'll post my trial, my challenges and my success. I'm not afraid to fail cause it just takes one opportunity to succeed. Pistotita I'll never give you credit because of many reasons but the one that stands high is because as it stands till date you dont have a farm, you've a garden.

Ill always give credit to Okoroemeka and Wiz2019( - I hope I got the spelling right) and every other person that posted a topic that I learnt from on this platform and off this platform. Alot of people I've learnt from that are on the platform but will never comment.

This will be the last time I'll comment about any envious fellow.

I came here to learn not to look for investors or teach anyone. If by virtues of the works of my Hands the God Lord blesses me through this forum I'll accept it with open hands.

Healthserve please leave these people alone. It's quite clear that they need investors and they're pained the mods didn't give them FP audience. Inside Life
u don't know pistotita. He is the most bitter, envious and toxic fellow u will ever have the misfortune to meet. Just ignore him. He is such a sad and sorry loser, seeking to drag others into his misery.
Instead of him to quietly commit suicide and spare the world of his evil, he won't do it.

Good job by the way. All I can say is that drip irrigation and mulching would have done u a world of good. Every other thing is excellent.

I plan to do cucumbers near my poultry farm as soon as I can convince my land neighbours to sell to me. I don't want to invest in drip kits in another man's land

When people are told to denounce crime dem go tag it to one particular tribe/religion as if the other tribes/religions don't have people that engage in such.

Pls lets be guided biko, when a crime is committed lets denounce it as a crime instead of tagging it to certain tribe or religion.

The Heart of man is desperate wicked,RIP,
But come to think of it,in this 21st century
How on earth will they call the man to bring the document of the property, didn't the man has estate agent that will have negotiate on behalf of him
I don't just understand ,there must being something more than this .
this story is full of illogical lies. The result rag tag journalism.

How can someone in his right senses seek to sell a property of 900m without the presence of a lawyer?

How can someone take the original documents of such value along for just site inspection by prospective buyers?

Normal practice entails giving copies of the document to the prospectors to go and do a search first. Original copies only surface for sighting in the lawyers office or somewhere else that is neutral. And then changes hands when payment is made

PetsRe: I'm So Sad! Lost My Dog And Her Four Puppies (her Very First Litter) by obstead200(m): 2:01pm On Jan 12, 2020
MyChoice1:
I decided to try keeping a dog after following this thread, I wanted to buy foreign breed but the price and upkeep made me rethink since this is my first time of ever keeping a dog in my life. When we were kids a mad dog from nowhere bite my kid bro and my family spent a lot on treatment, since then all of us had phobia for dogs. But this thread brought out a hidden passion for this animal within me. I had to buy a local breed to try my hands on taking care of dog right from puppy stage. Amazingly, the experience turned out great. Even my kids were so fond of her.
She's almost two years before giving birth to 4 lovely puppies on 4th Dec.2019 to the excitement of all of us in the family. But we noticed that her appetite went down, only drinks lots of water. Multivitamin was given to her but not much improvement was seen. But she still breastfed her puppies. The worst part of the whole thing was that we were to travel for the Christmas, we had to keep them in the custody of a neighbour, he has dogs too. One day he sent message that the mother was found dead! So he took the puppies. That they were strong. Within the following week, we came back with the excitement of retrieving the puppies from him, but alas, he said 3 of them couldn't make it, and the remaining one died that morning we were to collect them! The feeling was really devastating to all of us...from having 5 dogs to ground zero just within 2wks! Where do we start from again?
u no know where to find a vet? Oya take the dogs to church for prayera

Then, went further to scatter her relationship/marriage? shocked

After all she did for your child (school fees when your husband can't perform his duty to provide etc.)? shocked

Sister, you are wickedness wrapped in human form. Isaiah 48:22 is for you: "There is NO peace, says the Lord, for the wicked". You'd better repent and find a way to confess your sins because you will surely reap in multiples the seeds you've sown.

Fear human beings...! 'You were happy seeing your sister like that- lose her man, her job, depressed because she insulted "your guy".
