Romance › Re: Marrying An Older Lady? by olakan22: 8:54am On Nov 30, 2020

sKeetz:
I'm dating an older woman. The difference in our ages is just 2 years. She is everything a man can ever dream of.

She's very supportive. Doesn't bother me and let's me do my thing. She doesn't boss me or anything of sorts. She's also very independent, but the only thing that stresses me out is our age difference and it's quite obvious cause i even look quite younger than my age and she's quite matured both physically and mentally.

Are there any cons to marrying a lady that is older? Guys who are married to older ladies, are there any traits i should look out for ?

Ps: we've been dating for 4 years now, so its not like i just met her. So i know everything about her and she knows everything about me.

Well chief, that gap isn't much na, two years? If for 4 years you didn't see any offs (assuming, your eyes were opened Sha) then, don't look for trouble that doesn't exist.

I understand that your concern is primarily of respect. Will she respect you and all. A woman will truly respect her husband not because of his age or physique but because he's a man (and I am not talking about macho Man). I recommend you read DIGNITY OF MANHOOD by Gbile Akanni. You'll find it a good Christian bookstore. It's really good, even for non Christians.

P.S: I really hope you marry each other o. Throwing away four years isn't going to be easy especially for your emotional health.

Godspeed bro!

Okay, but APC will zone it to SE abi?

If the Igbos are serious about taking power, they should form a formidable region. Strong enough to command respect.

Plus if they don't become President, they should push for say V.P, S.P, Speaker etc. At the end of the day holding key positions would be more valuable than boasting of having the just president if the goal is to enjoy better dividends of governance for the Igbo and not some political chest thumbing. The Niger Deltans will tell you their story

Education › Re: ASUU Strike, Students And Their Landlords by olakan22: 12:02pm On Nov 03, 2020

Whitefowl:
Seven months have passed since ASUU embarked on strike. These 7 months have gone on rather uneventfully with the lockdown taking the better part of the seven months and the recent #EndSars protests last month.

With the year coming to an end and the loss of job that accompanied the lockdown, other sources of income now seem to be the only income which brings me to the aim of this post.

Students have been home for these past months with little or nothing to do as most establishments are not hiring due to the financial hit on their businesses. Ordinarily, a session should be closing and rent for student lodges would most likely be due for payment. I just wonder where this leaves them and their landlords who would soon begin to ask for rent payments.

Losing 7months+ of their rents and probably more (since the ASUU strike is still on) is not wonderful thing. But rental agreements stated anyways that their rent is due on a said date signed prior to payment. It wouldn't be a subject to debate if these students utilized this rooms paid for during the past 7+ months plus. Paying for more time that mightn't be used is another thing to worry about.

I'm just wondering if it is possible for them and their landlords to find a middle ground. After all the landlords built those hostels and lodges for financial gains.

NB: Please bear in mind that not all federal universities have the capacity to provide accommodation for all her students.

Landlords of students' lodges, what are your thoughts?

Students patronizing alternative accomodations, what are your thoughts?

Source: me

Nice thread OP,
I think it will be insincere to insinuate that ASUU's strike solely is responsible for the months long interruption to the Academic Calendar o.

Health › Re: UBTH Releases Woman Detained For 6 Months Over Unpaid Hospital Bills (Photos) by olakan22: 5:48am On Nov 01, 2020

The fight isn't against doctors or the hospital management.
The management has to pay bills. Without paying those bills go under.

No one wants to be inhumane, but that's what can be done on climes like ours unfortunately.

This is why a National Health Scheme is important. So many people can't afford to pay from their pocket.

Sometimes corpse are detained too.

The fact that the hospital even took care of her up to 500k is commendable. No private facility will be so patient.

Politics › Re: EndSARS: Osinbajo Calls Taye Olubayo Who Addressed A Letter To Him by olakan22: 5:37am On Nov 01, 2020

When were they protesting #endsars? When did baba reply?

The letter writer is obviously an Osinbajo fan so, you don't expect much heat there. The letter itself was ordinary. The frustration wasn't well communicated. There's a difference between actual criticism and sugar coated reprimand.

So Osinbajo promised him that he will personally do something and Mr. Olubayo thinks that will just be it?

You shouldn't curse people especially since you can't make a hair on their head.
But still, this letter la la substance. The only conclusion is of someone hoping to cash out. I won't be surprised if his appointment is announced in a few days.

Education › Re: Mothers Work Too — Adanma Ohakim Calls Out Son's Teacher Over Gender Role by olakan22: 11:12am On Oct 31, 2020

This is unnecessary. The Teacher isn't teaching her own ideas. She is simply teaching from a syllabus. Ohakim's fight should be with the Ministry of Education. Plus I can't even remember what my Primary school teachers taught me on gender roles and co. I doubt it would matter in the boy's life. We need to stop assuming that people turn out the way they are because of what they were taught in class. Let's not flatter our school system too much jare. Primary education is only laying foundation for comprehension and mental development. It lacks the ability to indoctrinate any child.

If the mother is as good as she makes us believe though, the boy will turn out just fine.

Plus the whole thing is about is a result of decades of organizational indiscipline and corruption. A total overhaul of the police force would do a lot of good

It'd be good if Jegede and Agboola can work together. Despite the famed 'rejection' of Akeredolu, he still has his support base which could be enough to bring him in if neither of Jegede and Agboola gather enough. More like all three, will split the booty, only the one fortunate enough will get the win.
All the best to Ondo people

Career › Re: Secondary School Teaching Vs Lecturing: Which Of These Two Jobs Should I Choose? by olakan22: 12:37pm On Oct 07, 2020

Working in a University can open up for opportunities for you in academics but caution here. Private Universities may no be as secure as they seem. You don't want to be thrown out because of some economic downturn.

Looks like your secondary school job is secure. But you need to start thinking long term.

Your fiancee's threat is quite unfortunate. You may have to do some careful evaluation of your relationship. I don't think it's fair you be backed to a corner like that. I don't think you should make a decision based on her threat. Although a patient explanation of your concerns is desirable.

In the end, consider your options carefully and think about long term career goals too.
I wish you God's best

You can also study Sciences (Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Statistics)
