EducationRe: My First-semester Review Of The MBA Program At Ahmadu Bello University (distance by pook(m): 12:41pm On Jan 08
Saladdin:
This is sad. You ought to have ditched them for another less stressful uni. You shouldn't have allowed it to take precedence over your job now.

Nigerian Universities unnecessarily make life hard for students. They need to do away with that backward mentality of suffering before you get it. It doesn't make the certificate any more prestigious.
I learnt the hard way. First and second semester I took so many permissions at work, sometimes during break at work I'll tell someone to cover for me to attend a 2-hour class etc. Laters colleagues started sabotaging and pushed an issue that arise on me to make my absence obvious (office politics).

At school, classmate thinks am working, making things uneasy to prove a point about them having to resign so you must resign to have a smooth ride. Things go on in school in the absence of which they won't include you (you lose marks).

At home. I was trying to pay rent, pay school fees, satisfy family members, plan a way to eat well as work demands food and if I skip a meal for just 3 days I'll be lean because I work in a chemical company, so many hazards, jumping transport, (trekking / trekking etc) ... Gosh, my nightmare..

Personally, I started befriending a lady just to get info on what was happening in class. You ask me if I'm in love? I wasn't even interested in any relationship but that is just what I have to do. If I ask other classmates about class, they will either lie or say nothing is happening that is significant to my grade (big lie, these people are setting me up to fail, so many assignments to turn in). My girlfriend gives me all the info.

I survived the first and second semesters. In the third semester my Supervisor wants me in school all day, you in the lab or not in the lab. She doesn't care if you are working or not. Later it dawned on me that if I don't comply she will fail me for the seminar and project.

Meanwhile, at work, they are going to shortlist people for sacking to reduce production cost and my name keeps appearing due to permissions and complaints.

The white man sacked me and gave me the option to resign voluntarily instead of sacking me. I chose resign.


Thank God I have saved enough.

If we look at these organizations..... pulling out from them benefits who? His billionaire cronies .... and Israel. Trump does not care about Americans .... but here we have sooo many Nigerian Christians believing he cares about them . Netanyahu fingers getting busy pulling more of his puppet strings.
Who told you Trump don't care about Nigeria. Trump care about who you selling your oil to and he does care if we are using Dollar as main exchange currency.

It can't until other countries stop using Petrodollar or stop using Dollar as their comparison exchange rate. Even China gets the Oil in Dollar from most countries if you don't know.

Ezeama400:
America will never fall, apart from their economy and military , their geographical location contributed immensely to their strength.. No country has that advantage in this world..
The only way America can fall is if the other country stops using the dollar as the main exchange currency which is used worldwide as you can see Petrodollar. That's what Trump is doing, any country not aligning will be eliminated. Venezuela wasn't selling oil to China using Dollar so he took out Maduro. In the same way, he warned Tinubu when Tinubu suggested selling Dangote fuel with Naira and using Naira as the main exchange in Nigerian aviation. FG immediately reversed the plan.

The stress you passed through can't be half of what I went through while doing UI Masters. I even lost my job while at it because at UI, they won't allow you work doing their Academic Masters. Did I say Academic Masters? UI treat all their programmes like Undergraduate.

Looking at the outlook of the daily chart it's a good position to buy but traders like staying away from Holidays because of Bank Holiday which can lead to spike after Bank resumes. So decision start after the new year break.

You can buy it with a Trading account (Broker account) but buy it when it's testing a zone for a push up.

RomanceRe: Should he continue with the introduction? by pook(m): 3:24pm On Dec 30, 2025
Curtis03360:
My friend hired a guy to run a loyalty test for his fiancée, introduction to take place middle of January just to be sure of what he is getting into but the fiancée failed the test and even though my friend told the guy to end the game, he still went ahead to sleep with the fiancée at the agreed hotel. He doesn’t know what to do because he said he could have still managed to continue had the guy not slept with her and he contemplate on taking this up legally with the guy as he already told him to end it and pay him for his services. The girl is not aware of any of this till now and that was why he couldn’t stop it from his end by telling her he’s pranking her with the said dude
The guy did him a favour by sleeping with his wife to be, so that he will know what he is getting into. It shows that this lady won't be loyal in the marriage. He should give this guy a huge amount of money for this findings, maybe part of the wedding money. Honestly speaking.

Ladies use pregnancy to extort guys of money, don't fall it. She even said what we are going to do. She expect you to agree to abortion so that she will collect abortion money to finish off detty December. Be wise.

And didn't you say she has been searching for how to abort using AI. Probably not your child if she's truly pregnant. Seems this your babe got this her format from my ex or they know each other. Baba, run for your life.

I'll check out the second one you mentioned.

What I realised is that guys like Rollo Tomassi, Aaron Clarey and the rest who are honest, when you ask them about marriage. They either tell you to never get married or they wish they didn't. They advise you to just pass your gene to whom you see fit, probably a lady you met who you feel she's going to be a good mother. After birthing your child, take good care of your children. Whatever she does after is her choice.

You don't have to stay under the same roof with a woman.

To me, i think the general rule of thumb is to always live atleast 50% your annual income since ost men won't be billionaires anyway.
You earn 12m per year? then all your expenses for the year shouldn't be more than 6m max.

This way, you will always have a disposable income to invest and grow slowl year-on-year which allows you to increase your standard of living
As a man you should be thinking of retirement and saving 50% of your income is advisable and a better advise is also to save 25% in a currency which as potential of not depreciating fast then invest other 25% probably in stock market or trade with it. Old age is not nice for men. Most times unmarried men have it better than Old age because we have ungrateful kids nowadays, bad wives who manipulate their kids to forget their father.

Men must be wise.

Only God knows what today’s youths are smoking and drinking. This one whose IQ is at negative level is saying someone who is his father’s age mate and who has seen more than he can ever see in his life time has low IQ
You haven't worked in companies why you are saying this. These Nigerian investors source for Expatriate. And sometimes this Expatriate will recommend themselves after they go to technical school. This Happened in Jubaili, they will recruit a Black man as Manager, bring in like 2 Expatriate to learn from this black manager. After they learn the work for 6 months, they sack the black man they put this 2 Expatriate to head department. Take in another Black man who knows SOP and R and D then bring in few expatriate sack the black man again, let the new expatriates to head a department or send to other branch. Go to these companies a black manager don't spend more than 6 months while the Black Supervisors Slaves there. Sometimes Black Supervisors get sacked because they get increment, so they find people who will take peanut again. Ask how Supervisors in this company pray not to get increment because of fear of being sacked

You don't debate yourself and call others illiterate. I feel so sad for people like you who may have little academic qualifications and believe your points are superior to others.I may not be his fan, but he asked an important question. I would advise you not to be too quick to call people illiterate because you are not literate enough to philosophise a burning question.Your writings appear superficial, filled with holes.
He just doesn't know how to pass his message, This expatriate most time start their career here, learn on the job and after they know the job, they sack the black man occupying the position. These expatriate are not paid in Naira but in Dollar. Imagine a Lebanese getting close to 700USD/month for an low managerial role, convert it to Lebanese Dollar. Mind you Naira has more value than Lebanese Dollars.

We have no Labour law in Nigeria, this companies cheat Nigerians. You see an Expatriate who is an Engineer and a Nigeria who is an Engineer with top qualification getting paid 7x lower than a Lebanese that went to a technical school who is still learning on the job.

AlphaBoy:
Nairaland, abeg help me judge this matter because I no wan deceive myself.

There’s this female friend of mine in school. We read together, buy snacks for each other, gist, and I usually walk her home after night class. Cool friendship, nothing serious… or so I thought.

But recently, she has been acting somehow:
One day she told me she feels blessed to have me and even called me her role model.
Anytime we finish reading late, she insists I must walk her home.

One night, she pointed at a bus stop and said she once saw a couple kissing there. Then she faced me and dropped this line: “It’s you that don’t want to love.”

If I ghost her small, na she go enter my DM first like, “You no wan talk to me again?”
And one day she directly asked me: “Why are you running from me?”

Make una no forget — I liked her initially but didn't want to push it yet , I don’t know if she’s catching feelings.

So nairalanders, make una talk true:
This girl like me abi she just dey whine me?
Or na me dey overthink am?
She likes you now because you are able to help her read and pass exams. Once that is out of the way, she will ghost you. Do or have anything you can with her when you still can or just keep helping her and expect nothing back in return. She's following the Narcissist Discard rule.

Guys i have a question; I usually hear that women are very good at hiding the different men that they're seeing from each other, how true is that? I ask this because there's this lady I'm in a "relationship" with, I have evidence that she's seeing other people, I have even seen a dirty chat of her and someone she claimed is just a friend in the past, stopped talking to her,she begged me n after sometime started seeing her again. As a result of that I decided that I won't fully commit myself to the "ship" cos I'm not the only person in her life. So she basically carries the whole thing. Calls me daily or every other day, I barely call. She has invested in me in different little ways, cooks for me, parted with her cash etc. I wanted to know could it be that I'm her best option, in spite of the fact that I'm younger than she is, though I'm not financially stable yet. I don't even have a place of my own yet, we regularly meet in a hotel, which sometimes she contributes to the bills and also brings food for me or buys stuff when she comes. What do u guys think?
I hope my message didn't come late.
Read about "Narcissist discard" on Google. Every follower of this thread should read on it too. Mind you, don't delude yourself. 98% of ladies follow the Narcissist Discard rules. People tend to associate Narcissist discard as a general human phenomenon, but basically it's dominant in the female gender.

I'm sure once you read about this, you will understand redpill more and you will tend to know what it truly his.

Being a pook, alpha, sigma or whatever derivatives can't be learned, you gain mastery with experience.

Someone also talked about the abandonment shit test lady pulls to make guys feel guilty. She's going to pull that on you pretty soon.

Eat good, sleep good, feed your muscles and stay healthy bro.
