₦airaland Forum

Dear Nairalanders.
I currently have two job offers on the table. One is in Abuja and the pay is about N200,000 a month, while the other is in Lagos and the pay is about N300,000. I am presently based in Abuja and have never stayed in Lagos. I only visited on occasions. The Lagos offer is tempting but I am kind of apprehensive about relocating there because of the challenges that come with staying in Lagos.
Please I need your inputs. Which would you rather choose, the Lagos offer or the Abuja one?
Serious suggestions only please!

Hmmmmmm...I just pity those who don't have access to the internet,cos they might gladly fall for this scam.

My poor, semi literate father in the village fell victim to this last week. The most painful part of the whole scam thing is that he even called the scammer with his airtime and dictated the whole info to him. It was when the old man got a debit alert, informing him that all the money in his account had been transferred to an unknown recipient that it became clear to him that he had been scammed. So painful!

prinzewill:
In dis fuel scarcity period,just propose wif 50 litres of fuel.she'll accept

Bros she no dey drink fuel o. How then will 50 litres of fuel do the magic?

LuvSwollenPussy:
See ya life. Na woman dey dictate to you how to propose to her. You never marry her o..she don dey show you her level and you even post am. She dey use u compare wetin she dey see other men do to her friends.

No worry when u marry am finish, na she go decide when you go see her naakkedneess, when you go chop and whether you go comot for house or not.

Iddioot.

My broda the insult was not necessary. She is not dictating to me, and I don't see any issue in allowing a woman u love have her way at times. There is noting wrong in making her feel special.
Even I'd what u said were true, u are not the one she is dictating to. so pls just pass by if u don't have anything respectful to say.

madjune:
Stand in the middle of the highway; so the whole world sees you two.

Thanks for ur suggestion.

kpolli:
Wait!!! You just started dating her and she insists you propose to her formally?? Or do you mean ask her out formally?

I have always known her. I asked her out not quite long but I have no doubt on my mind if she is the right one.
I also want her to wear my ring to scare away 'predators'

phabulous88:
Kids everywhere! OP asked for suggestions, if you ain't got nothing to say then shut the phuck up; you mustn't comment on every thread.

@Op: Just make it simple - take her to a really nice restaurant, you know the type with excellent customer services. Then get beautiful kids (maybe her cousins, nieces and /or nephews) to walk to your table haphazardly with placards or t-shirts with different inscriptions like, 'Aunty please marry my uncle', 'Aunty I wanna be your little bride '... Stuffs like that. And it mustn't be a restaurant, it can be anywhere... Her birthday, family get together, wedding reception....

Just think of something different man!

Wish you luck.

Wonderful!
Thank u very much. I will think about this and see how feasible it can be.

Captainswag225:
okay thats good, i hope your speech and other preparation fits the occassion.

Pls educate me on the appropriate speech.

ChukChinCol:
If u really love d grl, wats d fuss abt hw 2 propose again? As 4 me, na say I no open my mouth talk am be say she nogo gree, d babe love me die too. Abi u just wana impress her, 4 what? feeling inferior? Tell her u have paid 4d drinks and chosen ur best man, na she u dey wait 4.

There is noting wrong in making her feel spacial Na. She is very dear to my heart and her happiness means a lot to me.

youmour:
I was going to save this proposal tactic with my future partner but it doesnt seem likely i will be settling down soon so you better appreciate and act on am,or else...





Well na to plant tracker on her take her hiking,when una don enter the jungle wella u go leave her make she lost.lay obstacles and objectives for her make she stay for like 3yrs,then from nowhere enter the scene form rescue,then and there propose to her

That will be a nolly wood classic!

lolaxavier:
Guy help me tell dem o...why guys no fit talk 'i wan marry you', u gree? Yes or No? Shikena...which one be ring inside fufu again

We dey try follow the trend. lol

Captainswag225:
o.p, take her to a very nice and expensive restaurant, invite her friends or family, go get a microphone, sing to her and propose or gather some few friends and family, organise a little party at home and propose.

The latter suggestion sounds good.

fitinwell:
Get her a Job... First den propose.... Or u get a promotion... Den propose... Der most be a good and genuine reasons.... To lighten up the mood.... No money... In your pocket... Broda i advice you.. Wait.

I already have a job that pays my bills.

Aitee1:
Okay then...but I can only tell you the best way to go about the proposal if you'll always seek my consent before you do the do with her

You know that's not possible Na.
who needs anyone's consent for that kind thing.lol

free2ryhme:
If u don't have any ideas
Take her to mile 2 and propose to her on the highway

This is harsh. Pls think of a better alternative.

DonTim1:
Don't give urself headache,its no sprise if she alrdy has ideas/ see it coming.

Marriage itself almost leaves u dryof ideas to suprise ur spouse. She alrdyknws r intention, just get it over with,the whole"oh! My God"scenario was defeated d day she knew ur intention

Thank you and taken!

macklef:
To be sincere, my own ideeas cant be shared cos i have only one i have been noturing for my future wifey
Bro, just think outa d box

There is love in sharing bro. Pls help a broda in need.

Ishilove:
Wrap the ring inside fufu or semo, add beta banga soup to the mix, and when she finally digs through the fufu and finds the ring inside, propose.

I suppose that will be the least romantic setting ever. lol

Aitee1:
All the posters above just want the op dead soon





Op so she's the one that is requesting for the proposal meaning you're not ready for it, soon she will pay her own dowry

Honestly am ready for it. I actually told her about my intention to marry her from the beginning. She only wants me to do it the 'normal' u know.

Hello everyone,
I need your suggestions on the best proposal setting to adopt. I recently started dating this lady who was my good friend before I asked her out. we were more like family friends. I had to battle so hard to overcome the inertia I had to tell her about my feelings for her. she accepted to date me after much efforts from me and her elder sister who also happens to be my friend.
But right now, she is insisting I propose to her 'formally', and that I make the setting romantic enough to make it a memorable day for her.
The problem is that I have no clue what setting to adopt. Please I need feasible suggestions on this matter. I need to propose within the weekend. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Ekosodin, one of the places that have given me the best experiences of my life. Spent 4 years living there and graduated in 2011. Didn't have much issues with the "strong men" around. Maintaining a low profile was the key thou. My only encounter with them was mild compared to what some of my friends experienced.
I planned to sleep over at my babe's room that night, but around 10pm she did something that got me really upset so I decided to go back to my hostel. On my way one guy accosted me around that usually dark spot at the beginning of Edo street and said "guy show". Immediately I know say casala don burst. As I got close to him, I saw two other guys lurking around so I decided to behave. Then he said "Wetin dey for ur guys Na? We never eat since o". I come tell am say Na only 1k I get with me and I no fit drop everything as Na the only money Wey I get be that. The guy say make I go find change so I could give them 500 Naira. I was forced to buy what I didn't need just to get the change. Thank God they didn't search me because I had over 5k with me that night. I for cry tire.
I also witnessed the killing of a hostel mate. It was horrible. Very early on Sunday morning in Courage Hostel, I was preparing to go for service when I saw two guys walked into the compound, went behind Block B and towards a guy working on his generator. Immediately the two of them pulled out guns. One fired him in the neck at very close range and the other shot him in the head. The guy fell and died instantly. I almost melted. My younger brother that came for Post UME almost had convulsion. For two weeks we no sleep that hostel.
The good thing be say all those experiences don make me stronger now. I am hardly intimidated by any threat now.
Wish those residing at Ekosodin well. Face your studies and graduate without troubles.

I just concluded my National Service and I am already in an office working and expecting to earn good money at the end of the month courtesy of a job advert i saw on nairaland. For the nairalanders that are still serving please avail yourselves of the job opportunities posted on nairaland forum and other job sites and probably have reasons to smile as soon as you finish your service.

The governor of Cross River
State, Lyel Imoke, had kept
his promise of rewarding the
Super eagles for winning the
Cup of Nations.
The governor at the
reception that was
organised for the team,
where the Nations Cup
trophy was officially
presented, gave a whopping
N25m gift to the squad.
He also gave each member of
the team a plot of land in
choice areas of Calabar,
confirming his consistent
saying that Calabar is the
home of the team.
The Super Eagles team that
won the trophy for the first
time in 1980 were also given
houses and cars by the Alhaji
Shehu Shagari government.

Please how do I prepare yellow soup?

You mean you quoted all that just to ask how to prepare YELLOW soup? Nigerians are really becoming too naughty.

The United Nations and partners have teamed up to put in place an innovative global survey, known as "MY World", so people can participate in the post-2015 policy-making process telling them the changes that would make the most difference to their lives. "MY World" asks individuals which six of sixteen possible issues they think would make the most difference in their lives. The sixteen issues have been built up from the priorities expressed by poor people in existing research and polling exercises, and from the ongoing technical and political discussions about possible future goals. They cover the existing MDGs, plus issues of sustainability, security, governance and transparency. The sixteen issues are:
1. Better job opportunities
2. Support for people who can't work
3. A good education
4. Better healthcare
5. Affordable and nutritious food
6. Phone and internet access
7. Better transport and roads
8. Access to clean water and sanitation
9. Reliable energy at home
10. Action taken on climate change
11. Protecting forests, rivers and oceans
12. Equality between men and women
13. Protection against crime and violence
14. Political freedoms
15. An honest and responsive goverment
16. Freedom from discrimination and persecution.
As a Nigerian, which six of the sixteen issues matter most to you? You can even suggest another priority.
