I didn't ask that to spite you in anyway. I had terrible experiences with GNLD people. Now I can recognise their email from a mile away

You're a dreamer if you think Nigeria and her health sector will ever get better.

I am only appreciative 9f the scientist (the neurosurgeon.). These are the kind of brains we lose t9 the west. Do you know how much resources it costs to raise one neurosurgeon? And there are very very few of them.

[quote author=IyaTola post=120041659][/quote]What are you doing now? Are still doing pay job? How has life improved?

This mentality is mostly common among Nigerian guys and honesty it's disgusting mentality to me...

I was watching a prank video on YouTube where a guy pretended to be an ice cream selling and tried to asked some girls out to see if anyone would give him a chance. Only about 2 girls out if like 12 he approached gave him their number. What I noticed in the comments section were comments of guys saying the two girls who gave him their number were real women and that the others were fake. I've seen a lot of guys even on nairaland here with such stuupidd mentality. Ask yourself this question, if you were an ice cream seller or a broke or poor man, Shey you go date yourself if you be woman ni?

If I find myself in such situations as a guy man, going into a relationship would not even cross my mind, not to talk of being the last thing on my mind. My biggest priority would be to hussle. Hussle and more hussle till I make enough to get myself a better life...

Abeg make una stop dey castigate women for wanting the best, it's human to want the best things and it's logical.

Women naturally marry upward (hypergamy). While I don't castigate this, I find it repulsive that men would make money only to marry downward (hypogamy).

The true weight of a relationship is tested by trials. While I don't subscribe to any woman "suffering with a man", of which the man could end up marrying someone else later, I equally finds it repugnant that a broke girl will be refering to a broke guy as "broke". And more appalling that men would live a single relatively financially stable woman to marry a broke girl after such man has been able to elevate himself.

Another reason to fear men consistently in 2023

Men will stain your black

Wahala. Stain black?

God1000:
It shouldn't be so under normal circumstances.

Not giving people their PVCs for whatever reason is gerrymandering.

Why should I disguise myself to get my PVC

Are you living in a normal country?

I am going to share my experience as a recruiter, hiring executive assistants for several clients. Some may not like what I have to say, but I can only speak my truth.

Do we have a major youth unemployment problem in Nigeria,yes we do. While there is a challenge of not enough positions aligned with educated youths, as a recruiter I have seen there is a portion of the youth that is not serious about employment. Almost a sense of entitlement.

Many Nigerian youths have access to data and social media. That is how people find me and apply to jobs. I would think during your idle time, you would take time and teach yourself new skills and level up. Unfortunately this is not the case for many candidates I interview.

Let's say I have 10 candidates that I want to interview. Only 5 of them will respond to my initial interview. The other 5 candidates never respond.

Out of the 5 candidates that respond to my email, only three of them will be able to demonstrate knowledge of excel and PowerPoint.

Once I meet them in person, two candidates will call me the day of the interview with one long story basically saying they can not come to the interview, and only one candidate will actually be ready to present to a candidate.

After going to this process over and over again, I have started to ask myself is it worth it? I want to help more Nigerians get jobs, but it's clear to me overall we are not serious.
ver 400 resumes I have for EA positions, only 50 resumes have been presentable to clients.

Nigerian youths if there is not anything else you get out of my message, you need to level up. The Nigerian education system is not preparing you for the workforce. Start teaching yourself basic etiquette of how to apply for a job and the interview process.

Stop sending emails with no subject title or body in the email. Then you attach your resume and expecting a positive response.

Stop embellishing your resume, only to find your are not anything close to what your resume presents.

Do not put a number on a resume that will be hard for a recruiter to reach you.

And finally, if you applied to a position you should be in your inbox more than social media. I can not tell you how many times I get an email from a candidate a week later saying they are just now seeing my email.
This is the cold hard truth. As much as I want to help Nigerian youths. Many of us are not prepared for employment.

Thank you for sharing your professional experience with us.

I have been able to quadruple my income since 2019 due largely to the level of skills I have acquired during the period.

Personally, I feel more and more youths are losing interest in 9-5.

Banilla:
Mods, take this to the front page. Thank you.

Hi everyone! I have a boyfriend, we've been together for a year. I absolutely love him, he's my whole world! And that's the reason I'm pressuring him to save, if we're going to have a future together. And he's down for it, he makes nothing less than 200k monthly. I'm still a student, searching for a decent job. I can't invest sh** presently but I hope to start soon. Yesterday, I brought it up. I want him to send money monthly to my bank account, no matter how little. I'll save it for him. He's hesitating. He said I should be patient, he'll give me everything I need but he wants more time. I don't want to ruin our relationship but I need his co-operation. I'm scared he might leave me, after I've given him the best years of my life. I subtly threatened him that my family would force me to marry a Nigerian but he made a joke out of it, saying I would never, that I'm his...

What should I do?

NB: I've never taken a dime from him. He drinks often and I don't want him spending 'our future' on alcohol! I'm way better at saving.

I'm worried if I press the subject, he'll get mad at me.

I also told him I want to leave Nigeria, he thinks it's a good idea and I also told him I can't afford it alone. He said he needs time.

Doesn't he love me? Should I let it go? Or insist we resolve this?

I can see that some people are insulting you.

Though your request was somewhat awkward, I feel it's coming from a sincere heart.

Don't pressure him. If you are truly sincere, time tell. But have to show reasons why he should.

Tife270:
I have a challenge which I need to overcome ASAP in this new year.
I’m averagely good looking ( probably a 6/10), I find it difficult to say ‘NO’ to the financial requests of female friends, although I get laid in return sometimes.
I have seen guys that do not spend much on ladies and they seem to attract a lot of ladies. Those category of guys also get laid lot of times without spending much.
How do guys pull stunts like this?

I can see lots of people saying everybody pays for sex. My brother it's a big fat lie.

B4 2019, I have NEVER paid for sex. 2019 to 2021, paid for some, because I changed city. Since 2021 till now,I never paid a dime (apart from Tfare).

LikeAking:
Those guys are liers, na Dem spend pass.

Womanizing involves money. No let guys decieve u.

It's shameful for aguy to tell u he spends on a lady bf bleeping, but that the truth. The celebs spend too.

The billionaires spend too.

I did not spemd money any money bf I fuqwd
her. That's one of the biggest lies in the womanizing game.

Some times he fit happen, d game must chop ur money..

B4 2019, I never paid for sex. 2019-2021. I paid for sex like thrice (still had lots of free puna) and that was partly because I changed city.

Since 2021 till now, the highest I have spent on a girl is tfare (I always ensure I pay there tfare).

Not everybody is a liar. If anything is taking away my expenses, puna is not part of it

TermuxDarkWeb:
How?

Your moniker na TermuxDarkweb yet u are not aware of trending scams.

Oxb90:
Sorry for that wicked act from your supposed friend.
This type are the people that makes life difficult for those that need genuine assistance. Imagine what someone wished her own mother just because of body enhancement.
@OP please don't stop doing good. But next time make sure you check the veracity of the story before you try to render help to people with such claims.
You will surely receive devine help that will replenish that which have lost.

Something tells me the story was made up.

Brian47:
I was expecting to see you here as usual ranting.
Not surprised.

I was expecting someone to quote her. And you didn't disappoint me. I can bet Okafor's has worked on her b4.

Sweetplum:
Pitbull dogs are to be in extinction. They contribute over 60% of dog bites and dog deaths to human especially infants. Dunno why people still keep them as pets. It's a wild animal.

Lol. I don't know this before. Thanks for the education.

Fmartin:
weak as in how??

Do you know how hard I have been on her?

Bros you are very very weak. And u never see anything. Marry her first then you go see shege.

And by the look of things, dt babe no see you as a man over head head. No iota of respect or fear. And that was due to the way you have related with her in the past.

I am not advising you to be beating or fighting her. That would be the sign of a weaker man. What I can tell u is to be a man. You have made the first mistake a man should not have made. Which is marrying a single mother ( perhaps you felt you are better than the guy that left her).

SucrePlum:
I used to like pets, but with the things they're doing lately, I doubt if I'll ever keep one

A lawyer murdered her husband. And several other spouses have killed one another. If human being that CLAIM to have superior intellect could behave in a way far lesser than animals', you need to give kudos to " a man's best friend"

Why does the infinity sign appears on some Nairaland tabs these days.

We all know that the infinity symbol is associated with a particular politician in Nigeria. Could this be some sort of predictive programming by Seun?

Kobojunkie:
which God?

I no go follow u do online banter.

Abi1985:
Since the time I was born, I have never seen a pastor carry gun and force person to give offerings or tithe.

So why are churches getting bad rep? No be by force to give, if you do not want to give, then do not give. After all, na your own money, so it is up to you to give or not to give. If you feel pressure or you are reluctant to give, please do not give at all.

If they talk sow a seed of 10,0000 naira or 50 naira, and you do not have or you do not want to give, do not stress yourself at all. Give what you can give easily and cheerful and if you do not want to, then don't.

Pastor can use words to persuade someone to give. At the end of the day, it is up to individuals to decide to give or not. So leave the Pastors and let them be.

If Pastor fly private jet, well good for him. If he use body guards, good for him. The body guards are getting paid and the private jet is not free.

E be like say dem never broke-shame you into giving before.

Mumu, am not asking you what a former French president said, can you prove that 50% of French GDP is gotten from Africa..

Ode don't know that two African countries uses USA dollars, they are over 12 sovereign nations using American dollars as there legal tender.
So because the USA treasury print their dollars and keep there reserves we are now to say those countries contributes to over 50% of USA GDP.

Ode in case you don't know France GDP(PPP) is $3.666 trillion dollars 10th in the world.
While GDP(nominal) is $2.936 trillion dollars 7th in the world..
So some rag tag African countries that can't even feed themselves contributed over more than 1.5 trillion.to France economy..
If I ask you to explain what GDP is now you don't know..

You are irremediable!

obedience4:
Bloody liar, 50℅ of French GDP
Dude if you can prove this rubbish you just wrote enhh.
Jezzz nawaoo, do you know the French GDP
Stop writing rubbish just because you want likes and shares..
Write with sense not everyone here is dumb,

I have already replied your fellow dumb poster above. This was the response:



It is appalling that semi-illiterates will be ghe first to insult people online. It is very dumb to equate a countries with its GDP. It is very dumb to equal countries with trillions, perhaps even quadrillion worth of resources to only its GDP.

Did you know that in 2014, 16 African countries signed a pact with France to supply $500b annually? Are you aware that Francophone countries must have their reserve in French currency? Did you know that only French companies have the final say concerning the extraction, processing and sales of natural resources in the 16 Francophone countries?

In March 2008, former French President Jacques Chirac was quoted as saying, “Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third world power”. His predecessor, the enigmatic François Mitterrand already prophesied as far back as 1957 that, “Without Africa, France will have no history in the 21st century”.

blueAgent:
What a dumb thoughtless comment.
The GDP of the entire western African francophone countries is not even up to 300billion dollars , so only you know were France gets such money from.

fredoooooo:
Why can't the west just leave Africa alone ...

This is the sound of a weakling. There is hardly anytime in history where the oppressor willingly allow the oppressed to go.

The Francophone countries are responsible for over 50% of the GDP of france. They pay tithe to France every year. France prints and determines value of their currency. 15% of their GDPs are kept in France in gold.

Tell which stupid people allow modern day slavery? And which oppressor would allow such stupid people to go? France has put a yoke on their necks.

Then you have very limited knowledge urbanisation.

Jeweltz:
This guy has been all about virginity and virginity since we start talking. This is a guy that might've had uncountable sex with all sort of women in America o. Now he comes and he said he love his wife a Virgin. I only ever had about two sexual experience with men . Never seen a grown man obsessed about virginity like that

This man is obviously successful. In fact, the very reason that would make you loe that you are a virgin means how badly you want him (because he's your ticket).

Now, the only thing that he wanted from you as a woman is to be a virgin. Yet you can't even deliver that. You are there saying he has had sec with several people. Of what use is your puna to him? Why do you deserve him?

I am glad some folks have answered you. You spent millions to migrate. And got there, making in a month, what it would take an average Nigerian one year to make. Because there is a social isolation (which is one of the signs of developed societies), you are advising people to remain in this gellholle?

An average black is wicked. If you hate it so much, why are you still there? If Nigeria is so golden to you, what are you doing over there?

With what car?


Please do not mention Toyota. Otherwise I will say you don't love your loved ones.

What happened to doing that on Toyota?
