Graduate assistants abroad are paid allowances for invigilating

slimghost: And in what part of the world have you heard of federal lecturers being paid 'invigilation allowance' and some other funny allowances?. ASUU are simply fighting for their pockets and our children do not have to suffer for their greed. Enough is enough!!!

byvan: @ Pickabeau, Are your circle of friends femaleshuhwell,i had a chat with some ladies during CDS last week,their account of their marriages where mind boggling mehn ! ! ! I had to shut my mouth because I only have praises to sing of mine grin
I have male n female friends like any normal person

Mind boggling accounts....Dont believe everything you hear

Some people exaggerate...

others are even going through worse but naa them be lion

My hubby can not try me, my hubby that meanwhile the guy never chop their food for 2 weeks grin

The point is this: every relationship is unique and its until you go out, you will appreciate what you have

Not sure... in my own circle of friends... all my friends have good things to say about their hubby and marriage

Dont use the percentage on NL to judge..

use real life examples in your own life

byvan: @ Pickabeau, out of 10 random ladies and only one has something good to say about her hubby,isn't that most??

strange views... however there is nothing like a woman that knows what she wants; not one easily influenced by movements up and down

nice one

Mikhaela: *looks under shirt, sees boobs* yes, I'm a female. Like I said earlier, this is my upbringing. Just because the man sometimes does the groceries, or cooks or cleans the house doesn't make the relationship equal. Just the fact that I feel protected when I'm with me throws out the equality topic out of the window. My (future) boyfriend may feel safe with me and in our relationship but the ACTUAL feeling of being safe or of being protected is something we females feel. Yeah no, no equality there for me.

Hm... an objective female

Good to let your naija females know that white men also poop because to most of them whatever a white man does must be divine

second bolded.... are you sure you are a female
A female espousing non -equality of the sexes shocked shocked shocked shocked grin grin grin

Them gonna be set upon you,....

Mikhaela: What is your definition of submission though? Very domineering men are not only in Africa, I can testify, haha. It's something that once lived (directly or indirectly) scares you off later on. I don't believe in God one bit but I absolutely agree that our sexes are not equal. We are only equal as human beings. I really can't imagine a 100 % equal relationship... and people often mix up equality and balance.

Anyhoo, what's your "definition" of submission?

Mikhaela: It was in regards to him pin pointing how the woman who could cook had a JOB and some bla bla degree.. So I said, I also know a woman who could cook and is a baby sitter and a high school drop out, forgot to mention that. Cooking has got nothing to do with leading a fulfilling life.
ok... but cooking and/or domesticated skills are really just one facet of a woman
she has more


byvan: @ Pickabeau,.... but seriously lovers must be pleasers,things go to hell when the relationship is one sided and you know most Naija marriages are one sided,The man poops,the woman eats=happy Naija marriage . My E personality is me,no alter ego. grin no be small oven dried spinster.A good man deserves a good woman,an evil genius deserves Ayamatanga(witch),that way,life is fair.
I agree.. but generalising as most is not totally true.. a large proportion but most is an exaggeration in my opinion
LOL @ ayamatanga... that ish was scary...

God help us

Dont get the point of the italian chic.. the fact that she is advanced and a baby sitter does not mean she will not lead a fulfilling life

Mikhaela: SO? I know an Italian girl from high school who could cook and I think she can still cook and guess what? She's a BABY SITTER. A 28 year old girl (the oldest in our class)...

byvan: Ladies are tired of giving,they are tired of just existing,i guess is their time to start living.Besides they do have a choice now,gone are the days when a woman's entirety revolves around marriage and keeping a man happy,while breeding him battalion of soldiers to carry on his name.

Thats not the point he was making...

HIS POINT
Abroad the law favours women strongly...
Here customes/elders play a stronger role


lorretta u: I'm a Nigerian girl born and raised in Nigeria
I'm going to have a court wedding.
That's not peculiar to foreigners alone

King Edward I: Can't agree enough with u. Never been a fan of wigs/hair extensions (huge turn off). Prefer ladies with natural hair; black, white or asian. Ever since I arrived, I haven't found any YET, of note...... Most I come across usually have one demand or the other. Asking once in a while ain't an issue but frequent 'it's-your-responsibility'/'if-I-mean-something-to-you' style of asking....and she ain't accepted/we ain't even married yet.
Some weeks ago, I went to see a lady at her house. On getting there, the security guard told me she had just stepped out. Called her phone and she said to come meet her at a small supermarket 4 houses from hers. No worries, might as well walk down d road to meet her. After getting d things she wanted, we started walking back to the house. The next thing I hear is 'when are you guna you get me a ride?'.... cos she doesn't want to walk in the sun on d way bak to her house. I just smiled.
Wth? 4 houses away, you wanna drive there. You aren't carrying the shopping bag, you're too tired to walk. The car was parked at her house, nowt I could do. It must have been sunny or cloudy when she left her house. Now, the weather is too hot to go back to your house. Obviously didn't say none of that out. She ain't my girlfriend yet.
That was the last time I went to see her and stopped contacting her.
bro... seriously.. all i need is the new Tecno Phantom

hahaha...

Sadly true....... undecided
2mch: Passed around? You mean girls in Nigeria who have slept with all your fathers age mates and all your age mates? When you try to seek political position people will be laughing at you. Guy you funny die. Girls in Nigeria are more passed around than abroad. They are hungry and will cheat. Many guys go to Nigeria and do 3somes. Who are these girls they are doing it with. You say we should marry prostitutes? Even village girls are big time prostitutes because of poverty in the country. Tell another lie. You know how men who marry wives from naija get divorced? Like water

[quote author=nk-love]i dont like de way u talked to me period, apologies to me. talking about FSW, MY HUBBY IS A FULL TIME CIVIL ENGINEER AND PRACTICE little of petroleum engineering. so i think he will fit in well in that civil or even mechanical. i wouldn't like to start forging appointment letter on petroleum. although he works with oil servicing company. what do u think. thanks for the info anyway.[/quote]You dont like the way i spoke and the first thing that leaps out of your post is the word bast#rd

I have nothing against you just that people should read posts on the forum as most of their concerns will have come up one way or the other rather than just asking default questions

For you NOC 2131 Civil Engineer is full and you cant apply therei; so is NOC 2132 Mechanical

However NOC 2145 which is Pet is still very much open as long as he has ONE YEAR FULL TIME EXPERIENCE As a Petroluem Engineer.

Just one year...

Moreover you need to have ECA and IELTS exams done which is clear if you have read the thread from the start

hahaha... respectful in deed


You come here claiming to have been following the forum and ask a rudimentary question which shows youve not
You should have asked a direct question to help your case

Remember also that there will be a new EOI system in 2015 which may be different from this current year

Also there are 3000+ complete applications out of the 5000 cap which will end in April 2014 so there most likely will be no 2014 applications

Its either now or 2015 (EOI)

I dont have any problem with you... going toe to toe with you will only spoil this nice thread



[quote author=nk-love]Am a very respectful fellow, u should have tot about de desecration of this thread before putting down u first insulting statement. I asked a question, the least u could have done is to keep quiet if u don't want to answer it rather than jumping into conclusion with an insult. If I were u,I will apologise because ur statement is very bad and does not show any sense of maturity.[/quote]

Kudos to the judges who gave out their time and opinions.

The organiser Tgirl deserves an exceptional commendation for putting all these together.

And shout out to the audience who made it worthwhile with side debates of benefits of hooded vs unhooded...

That will form the debate topics for the next round ..hahaha
