Bigcoconut: Hello, guys I don't want to bore you guys with long epistle. Yes, as the title suggests.
I travelled to Canada through the study route this January but I can tell you for a fact that I'm already bored with this place.
I'm redoing a 2 year program that I have already concluded in Naija but just because I want japa, I redid it. But that's not the issue.
The issue is that I'm working in a company but the department I was posted to was a physical demanding one..
To the extent that if I work for a day, I feel pain all over my body for a week. And this is seriously affecting my education because anytime i go to work, i wouldn't have the energy to do anything again as i would be so weak. but i have to work because i have bills to pay.
Nobody send you for here except you want sleep for cold outside.
Even half of my salary goes in the form of settling bills.
The work makes me depressed. This is not what I bargained for. .
For me to raise money for my tuition fees and travel expenses, at least I wasn't doing bad in Nigeria before i left. In addition, I hardly have time for myself.
My situation is even better, most of people who we came same time haven't found jobs yet.
My thinking is if I should ask for refund of my remaining tuition fee and relocate back Naija, or go back Naija and take some courses online, as there seems to be an option for that.
Wait till court decides the fate of Nigerians... If a drug lord assumes of office, think twice. Find driving work, I think it's easy to get, even if it's taxi or airport loaders. Fulani janjaweeddds are cutting people into pieces here and they infiltrated the south, everyone dey find way you wan come enter. Wait small first. I know one major thing you miss is our cheap big nyash babes and correct food... Hold on first, they no dey run.
Megabig: Is something wrong with this our generation because I saw how my parents had a great marriage just like most of their friends.
I think relationships are not meant for some people and we have to all understand that it’s ok to be single for the rest of your lives. Why put so much pressure to get hooked with someone when you know your mind is probably somewhere else, is it desperation, greed or the insatiable nature of the human life?
So I dropped my ex at the Chinese cuisine (yes I have to be specific because she will read this and should know I wrote it)she works at on Tuesday,this is usually our routine since she starts work at 8am and I start at 9am to end at 5pm,she gets home late at 9pm sometime depending on her shift. On Wednesday,we drove as usual and on getting to her workplace, there were 3 police cars and yellow ribbons crossed over there with some people in front of it.This colleague of hers immediately seeing us trying to park there said “there is no need y’all,some 14 year old came to the store and shoot up the whole place around 5pm yesterday”. I was shocked because she should be at work too and how come she’s not aware of what we both are seeing and she tried shutting the lady up and I then further asked the lady why she also showed up since it happen yesterday and she ought to have known,she said because she’s scheduled to work today just like my babe and she was just looking at my ex,you know when you look at someone like “ hope everything is ok”?
My ex didn’t exit the car and I had to ask her where she was the previous day because I dropped her there at work,she started stammering that she went to see her lawyer,I then had to ask,so after seeing your lawyer at 5pm(which is obviously a lie because corporate mostly close at 5pm),you didn’t return to work because you ought to have known that someone was killed at your job, she then said she went home, then how did I get home before her because I close at 5pm and gets home before 6pm, I didn’t want her to keep blabbing,I immediately called her lawyers office and guess what guys?Her next appointment is June 12(Again,I wrote this so she can see it’s me). I immediately started recording a video with my camera faced down and repeated every question and she answered just in case she goes to court and I’ll nail the devil. I sha took my key from the evil,cashapped her money to take a train to her brothers place.Till today she never reach her bros place because he called and said she’s not picking and she is constantly texting.
This is a girl that got to America two years ago(I didn’t bring her)and just doing menial job for now while she work on getting her documents and also,she’s not paying rent(In todays America),I was even planning on doing something serious before the year runs out because normally,she seem homely, peaceful and seem quite calm unlike most party-prone babes we have around(E be like na this one’s worst).
What shocked me most was that I didn’t even get angry, I was just disappointed that I wasted my time but it didn’t seem like I lost something(why is that?).
Another trust shattered… smh
I don't understand why they are not satisfied with one man... I don't know if it's for money or for sex... Just can't satisfy a hoe
Wagwanbrethren: Why not resist the urge to quote me if you can't in any way answer any of those question, and how does studying astronomy answer those questions?
All these guys sef! 🤣
Wisdom is far from you... Read proverb and ecclesiastics every night for 30days and thank me later.
Wagwanbrethren: The story of God sacrificing his son is flawed for a number of reasons. First, it is not clear why God would need to sacrifice his son in order to save humanity. Second, if God is all-powerful, why couldn't he have found another way to save humanity without sacrificing his son? Third, the story of God sacrificing his son is based on a number of myths and legends that are not supported by any evidence. Finally, the story of God sacrificing his son is not consistent with the teachings of Christianity.
As a kid, you never knew why your parents subjected you to the pains of a syringe and nurses just to make you feel better. Why can't they just find another way to do that. When you look at the universe, you will understand our brains are so small and irrelevant. Earth can explode and the universe will not notice. Study astronomy and you will be humble.
There will be no treason charges There will be no DSS calls There will be no investigation No comments from FFK No comments from Bayo bigot No comments from Reno with toilet mouth
Everyone will move on, till the next massacre in a few days time.
Sorry Nigeria.
If you eat Fulani bribe, your name na sorry. The mouth that ate the bribe only opens when it is instructed to open.
Military0001: Nothing new!! The system is seriously corrupt starting from the leaders to most of the masses.. The young man should be careful to avoid girls wey their mind dey for back from getting back at him.
I tell you.. If that girl lose that job.. She fit come back after 10yrs and stab you to death
Lovilla: My married sister kept complaining how thier house help is about to bring her marriage to the mud.
She said her husband is no longer giving her attention like before just few months the maid arrived.
The maid is taking over her marriage slowly, as her husband only eats food prepared by the house girl.
She has been crying all day. She said she has tried everything possible to chase the girl away but her husband always kicks against it.
She is afraid of loosing her marriage.
Please, what must she do?
One side story is not good... Your sister was showing oga shege and e dey sweet her, probably using food as a cheap punishment to oga. Now oga don arrange maid wey go serve him she Wan pursue am... Nonsense
All those terrorists for Naija for no dey misbehave
Old testament was left in the Bible for that purpose but somehow Christians pastors don't like it... Only jews use it and that was what MNK wanted to reinstated. Any day igbos embrace Jewish religion, they may start conquering. Muslims use their old testament (jihad) side by side. You don't wait for an enemy to slap you the second time... Just retaliate with a heavier slap. Jesus was talking about receiving second slap with a fellow Christian not arc enemies.

goodnessme1: We Yoruba Muslims know Ipob is responsible for this.
They want to take over Lagos and the whole NIGERIA,then destroy Tinubu government.
But we Yoruba Muslims and our Northern brothers won't allow that.
Lolz cry cry baby.
I can speak against Ipob as I like,because nairaland is against Ipob and hate them very much.
We must do everything to paint Ipob Black.
This is ipob sponsored abduction... They want to tarnish the image of Tinubu. All army and major generals should be deployed to the south east, the north is safe and Yorubas and Fulanis are one. Ipob is enemy of Nigeria.
Just know that over 98% of igbos are with you. If you need number to deal with those terrorist, come and carry. People will line up to help you. We know you don't need our help right now, but if you do, we are fast learners, we can help you deal with those mad dogs; and if we catch any islamics northerner or their tribalist slaves fighting with the enemies over there, we know what to do.
Talkless, just come over. Pay us normal, but our dedication and loyalty will lead our friendship to quick victory.
May God continue to bless the Israelis and punish all their haters forever.
We understand what it means to live around enemies. Lebanon is a quick work. Deal with those terrorist seriously. 100% support from SE on the bight of biafra.
Antiochus: Israel should not have raided Al-aqsa mosque this period.
Fulani janjaweedds shouldn't be killing people in a church this period or any other period. If a mosque is used as hide out for terrorism, burn the shiiit down... Thats the only language they understand. Nobody has a monopoly of violence
Freestyl: In a shocking incident that has rocked the Nigerian state of Benue, suspected herdsmen have been accused of carrying out a brutal attack on the Umogidi community, leaving at least 46 people dead.
The incident occurred in the Entekpa-Adoka district of Otukpo Local Government Area, just a day after the same village had been attacked, resulting in the deaths of three people who were being prepared for burial.
The Governor-Elect of Benue State, Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, has condemned the killings in the strongest possible terms. Speaking from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, on April 7, 2023, Fr. Alia described the incident as a heinous act that has left the entire community in shock and despair.
The attack on Umogidi community is the latest in a string of violent incidents that have plagued Benue State in recent years. Tensions have been high between farmers and herdsmen over grazing rights, leading to clashes that have resulted in numerous deaths and injuries.
The Benue State government, led by Governor Samuel Ortom, has been criticized for their handling of the situation, with many accusing them of failing to take decisive action to curb the violence. The Governor-Elect has called for urgent measures to be put in place to protect innocent citizens and prevent further bloodshed.
Fr. Alia has also urged the federal government to take swift action to address the root causes of the conflict between farmers and herdsmen in Benue State. He has called for dialogue and engagement between all stakeholders to find a lasting solution to the problem.
The incident has sparked outrage across Nigeria, with many calling for justice and accountability for the perpetrators of the attack. The international community has also condemned the violence and called on the Nigerian government to take action to protect its citizens and ensure that such incidents do not occur again.
As investigations continue into the attack on Umogidi community, the people of Benue State are left to mourn the loss of their loved ones and wonder when the cycle of violence will finally come to an end.
How people move about with such a huge sum... By the way who we go ask if the money complete? Emefiele singing cashlesl like tomorrow no dey... Just now now someone was able to withdraw 27m cash
booksbo0k: Sorry for the long write up my people, I need advice.
My first son has been behaving somehow in our family, as if he's not part of this family... You and this boy can be in the same house but you might not set your eyes on him once for a whole day. He will be inside his room through out...
He has been telling me that he is currently working on going to rent his own place and live on his own and that if God helps him and he is able to achieve that, He will not have anything to do with our family again and that we will never set eyes on him ever again :[ ...
I would have not been bothered by such statement if it were coming from someone else, I would take it as a bluff. But this my son is someone that normally doesn't call people to check on them, not even us his parents..
When he was in his previous University before he dropped out, this boy can go for months, that is a whole semester stretch without calling anybody to know how you're doing, except you call him or maybe he wants to ask for money for something or school stuff....
We have five children and he is the first, the second and third children are away in University, he and the two last siblings are the only one's with us.. My husband refused him from going to University in a far place instead he gives him transport money to be going to his own University from home everyday...... He and his father don't even talk again except good morning greetings. He is only 21 ohh..
Let me give you guys small back story so that you can understand how all these things started.
My son graduated from secondary school (a boarding school) in 2017 at 16 years old... Initially, he said he wanted to study computer science as he said that was the course he loved and wanted to study. But my husband refused and persuaded him to study pharmacy because he worked at NAFDAC and he saw the way pharmacy graduates were living at his work place and the salary they were recieving. He and one of his chemist friend sweet talked him into going to study the course and I guess it was because he was young then and could not challenge his dad then that was why he gave in....
He wrote JAMB but he did not meet the cut of mark for pharmacy (but I later realised his score was good for computer science then)... No public University was willing to admit him for pharmacy then because his score was not good for the course but due to my husband love for the course and not wanting my son to lose admission that year , he decided to go the way of private University not minding their school fees...Long story cut short, my son got admitted into Madonna University where we were paying 1M naira every year.....After 3 years in the school and in 300L @18 years old, he began saying he was not interested in the school any longer, that he was tired of the course, that he's body is no longer in the school and blablabla that he wants to go and play football in Europe...
He came back for holiday during the beginning of covid and refused to go back to the school when they resumed, saying that he was only wasting our money by being in that school and he did not want to continue.....This got my husband really sad and angry....My son stayed home for almost two years doing nothing because my husband was adamant that if he would not go back to school, nothing for him, that all the money he has spent for school fees in that school can not be for waste that he can become a footballer after he graduates, saying no one can become a successful footballer without being a graduate, that it would later affect them in life...
But my son refused. I must confess, my son is extremely good at playing football. That was the talent i can confidently say that God personally gave to him from birth. Infact when he was graduating from secondary school, they gave him the award for the best graduating footballer and he was always the centre of attention anytime he plays at our church events. He friends used to call him "nima" then, I think...
I and my husband got tired of him staying at home for long so I went to meet with one pastor in our street who was based in the UK with his family but comes home sometimes for church related matters. I explained my son's situation to him and he offered to help my son travel out to chase his football career provided we have the funds for it. The man was secondary school class mates with "victor ikpe ekong" who was a former super eagles player but currently a pastor in Sweden. To my greatest surprise he called him on a WhatsApp video call in my presence and i was really surprised...He gave me the man's phone number to keep in contact and also scheduled a day to meet with my husband and have a discussion.. I told my son and he was very happy..I also told my husband and he was eager to meet with him at least, anything to solve my sons idleness at the time..
The pastor came to my our house on several occasions and discussed with my husband. My husband kept telling the pastor, saying he would like my son to be going to school while chasing his football career at the same time, a feat which pastor let us know would be difficult as one has to be dropped for the other. Unfortunately, my husband changed he's mind and said he was no longer interested in the whole footballer thing. He said he knew that my son wanted to become a footballer only because of girls. That he, my son knew that if he becomes a footballer, all the girls would like him, that that was the only reason he wanted to become a footballer, and that if football was his true destiny, he doesn't need to travel out for it to manifest, that he can be in Nigeria and make it from here.....That was how that chapter close like that. Pastor left for England few months after.....
After years of my son staying at home, my husband got tired. One night, he hired some Street thugs to come take my son away and beat him up...my son stayed with them for 2 weeks. When he returned, he said he was ready to go back to school. But my husband told him he won't be going back to any private University again. My son wrote jamb again to study computer science and was admitted into COOU. but my said he would not allow him go to any University that is not in the same state we are residing. Now the problem here was that all the public schools in the state we are staying will not accept you to study computer science unless you did chemistry in jamb. And my son did not do chemistry in jamb because he is not good in chemistry. If he was to study in the same state we were staying, he had to settle for another course, which he did...Now another problem arose. My husband refused to rent an apartment for my son around the school because the school is considerably far from our house, instead he decided to be giving him money (2000) everyday as transport fare to be going from home. This did not sit down well with my the boy and he again, said he was no longer interested in schooling again sef that he can't be going such far distance from home to the school everyday to study a Course he does not even like siting that it would be stressful and affect his academics and that it was unwise to be paying 60k a year as school fees while you spend 2k everyday as transport..My husband got angry and called on our estate CSO to come pick him up. They beat him so badly in public that when he got back home later in the evening, I went to check him in his room, his buttocks and back where scarred and red with huge marks...
Ever since, he has been going to the school from home and he has become very distant from us especially his dad. They don't talk again in the same house except "good morning sir"...
My son has turned into something else. He can stay indoors from morning till night. I would have said he has started keeping bad company but he does not even have a single friend, not one..Nobody calls him, and he doesn't call anybody...I have five children and he is the first. The second and third already gained admission this year in a private University and are in school currently, so he and he's last two siblings are the only one's with us now..
Why I'm writing this is because I'm scared..I'm beginning to fear that my son might commit suicide, he's beginning to show that kind of attitude.. And the plans he have to leave us forever to go and stay alone, I don't like it ohhhh...
Nairalanders please I need your advice.
When a father refuses to be flexible, well I hope it's not a punishment in disguise. Men commit a lot of atrocities and somehow reap the consequences in disguise. Tell the guy the plans you have for him... A plan that would help him achieve his goals without the dad. Some students go dey one week they never see 1k drink garri... And una dey waste 2k for TP daily in name of monitoring... Doesn't sit well
We don't need any palliative, just subsidize solar panels and remove duty on batteries and solar panels simple. I want to be buying a 300w solar panel the same price as in Germany and lithium batteries the same price as in China.
AndrewTate: It's just pure foolishness to keep thinking because it's more of one tribe that are always caught doing things like this then they will bear the shame alone... You think an indian man who reads this and meets a hausa or yoruba man tomorrow will be happy with them because they're not from that tribe? Foreigners don't give one f about that... You're all Nigerians and that's it! It's high time we face the truth and fact that the higher percentage of Nigerians in general are grossly dishonest even though religion is such a big deal here. That's what the description of the average Nigerian is whether you like it or not... It's reality!!!
Let us give them Biafra so that Nigeria will be from corruption
steeltrust: My friend fathers was attacked in ogun state in his farm last week. The old man was marched with cutlass, it was only God that save his life. The matter was reported to the police and they came all the way from Abuja and said there’s nothing they can do.
Imagine in this tech era Nigeria police said there’s nothing they can do. He’s farm scattered, all his hard work for months destroyed and they still want to kill him just because he told them not allow their cow destroy his cassava farm.
Where re we going in this country. Nigeria is sitting on a time bomb and a lot of people don’t know
