Love Machine:Yes she does, That's why she's taking him to court. |
missyadorable:The money is half a million naira and it was supposedly to start a business (An investment). I think he should pay back. This is not buying beer money. |
Love Machine:No one is stopping the men from taking their case to court! If you have proof that she collected a substantial amount from you using deceit, then take her to court. |
MRBrownJ:Of course not, the men will shout and call her a gold-digger/olosho and warn people not to help women. But here they are shouting marriage is not by force. Its Double standards! Its her money and she has documented evidence that he owes him. Pay the woman her money. |
Wisdom Eji says he and his fellow Nigerians, here on scholarships for underprivileged students, have been left to fend for themselves after the government-funded program that brought them to Canada has failed to pay. "We have been abandoned," said Eji, a University of Regina (U of R) engineering student. "We live right now like we don't have sponsors." 'Like things get bad — I just wish I didn't even come here. I just wish I was at home.' - Wisdom Eji, RSSDA-sponsored University of Regina engineering student Across Canada, 246 Nigerian students, in 14 universities were promised their tuition and living expenses would be covered during their four-year degree program. However, they haven't received their living allowance for the past 11 months and their tuition is millions of dollars in arrears. "You just wish you didn't even have the scholarship in the first place," Eji said. "Like things get bad — I just wish I didn't even come here. I just wish I was at home." Government agency owes millions Wisdom Eji university of Regina Eji says he's behind on his rent and other bills, is often hungry, stressed and sleepless. As a result, he says, his marks have dropped 15-20 percentage points. (CBC) Eji is one of 40-50 students enrolled at the U of R under a scholarship paid for by the Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency (RSSDA); an organization owned and funded by the Rivers State government in Nigeria. The organization sponsors hundreds of poor but academically gifted students to study at universities in 14 countries, including Canada. The students were promised tuition and a living allowance of $1,100 a month to cover their rent, food and other expenses. "Before we left Nigeria they are like, 'Don't even work,'" Eji recalled. "''We'll give you everything you need.'" The RSSDA owes Canadian students about $3 million in living allowance, forcing many like Eji to find jobs. He is working part-time while continuing his full-time studies. He said he's behind on his rent and other bills, is often hungry, stressed and sleepless. He said as a result his marks have dropped 15-20 percentage points. Canadian universities owed millions In addition to what it owes in living allowances, the RSSDA admits it also owes $2.5 million in tuition to 14 Canadian universities. More than half of that, $1.3 million, is owed to the U of R for the 2014/15 academic year, during which 124 RSSDA sponsored students studied at the institution. Vanessa Ikeogu, an RSSDA student who's studying criminology at the U of R, said she's angered by the behaviour of her government and sponsoring agency. "Ignorant, reluctant, irresponsible government officials," Ikeogu said. "I just feel like I have been lied to." Unpaid tuition creating stress The RSSDA owes more than $250,000 to the University of Manitoba (U of M) and that institution appears to be taking a harder line. Gift Amadi is sponsored by the agency to pursue a political science degree at the U of M, but his tuition bill is past due, and the university is asking him to pay. Gift Amadi Gift Ahmadi, a political science student at the University of Manitoba, says the Nigerian scholarship agency that sent him to Canada is failing to keep its promises. (Facebook) "The school is saying you have just about 30 days left to pay what's left for this term," Amadi said. "If not I won't be able to register for the winter term." He said the lack of scholarship funding has been "very devastating." "Right now I'm taking classes and I'm thinking of feeding. I haven't eaten since morning and I'm in class," Amadi told CBC's iTeam, when reached in the evening at the U of M. The associate VP of Outreach and Engagement at the U of M, Leah Janzen, said she's sympathetic. "I know some of them have accessed our student food bank," Janzen explained. "It's a very difficult situation." Payment plans She said the university is working with the students to develop payment plans and find other funding. Some RSSDA students have paid their own tuition, borrowing money from friends, family or churches. But for others, time is clearly running out. For about a dozen students, tuition hasn't been paid for the summer or fall term, putting their stay at the university in jeopardy. If an international student on a visa is no longer registered at an educational institution, they aren't able to stay in Canada, according to immigration rules. Recently, 19 RSSDA-sponsored students had to flee the U.K. in order to avoid deportation from that country because their tuition had not been paid by the agency. Many students in Canada worry they may end up in the same situation. "Terrified — because you don't know if you're the next," Eji said. "I can't get that money, so if I don't have that money the only option is going back to Nigeria." Students take action Amadi says ongoing political instability in Nigeria has made it easy for politicians there to ignore this problem, so he and the other students have decided to take action. They've formed a committee to mobilize friends, family and the media to pressure the Nigerian government. He said students are worried they may face retaliation by speaking out about this issue, but added his political science studies have taught him that sometimes it's necessary to take calculated risks. "It may not be convenient, it may not be comfortable for you, but someone has got to stand to say 'OK, this is the right thing and we can do it if we stand for what is right and we speak up about it.'" He said it's ironic that his government sent him to Canada on a scholarship to study political science, the knowledge he's now using to pressure that same government to keep its word. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/cash-strapped-u-of-r-students-abandoned-by-nigerian-scholarship-program-1.3326199 |
daretodiffer:I tire oh! Father has been disciplining him for 21 years and he did not change. It's time for the father to sit and think where he as a father went wrong. |
Apitch:Are you better than all the students that were not flogged?? How you people defend child abuse is against me! Let me tell you something, the canings did not make you a better man. You made yourself a better man. Most of the armed robbers and bad people you see in the world were caned a lot for flimsy reasons. They build up resentment and lose empathy for people because no one showed them empathy when they needed it. If Caning is so good, why do people complain as adults when soldiers flog them to keep them in order.? Flogging children is easy because you have systematic power over them and you want to enforce it. Its a power trip in my opinion. Let me ask you what reasons you were flogged for. 1. You were making noise/ disrupting the class ? Does it really require 12 strokes of cane if a teenager is babbling like they always do. A teacher should tell you to keep quiet and send you out of the class if its continuous. 2. You were late to school? Maybe because of hold-up or morning chores that your parents send you to do or maybe you just woke up late? Does it really require you to be flogged? Even if a child gets into a fight, i still don't know why they should be flogged. They can be punished , suspended, taken to have conflict resolution meetings not flogged. |
GogobiriLalas:A lot of kids even rub their pee-pee (pseudo masturabte) when they're 2. They're babies, they will do whatever is fun. Correct them in a loving and caring manner not with 42 lashes of cane and pepper. The raising up skirt issue is even more explainable, probably baby has seen that mom's pant change colors. He is fascinated by color change. Or Maybe mummy does a funny face when he raises up his skirt. A lot of innocent reasons. A 2 year old is innocent and does not deserve abuse for being inquisitive Yes, the youths that created the internet you are using. They are more technologically advanced and morally advanced than we are. Nigerians always defend violence against children for some reason forgetting that we were all once children and didn't know better. |
Randyhot:Source of Joy kee? Haven't you heard of kids that kill their parents? The Boko Haram people are born from mothers too. Wouldn't the world be a better place if they were aborted? There are millions of children suffering in the world, denied basic rights to food, education and homes because their parents cannot care properly for them. It is better to abort a baby in the womb instead of bringing them into the world to suffer. Secondly, It irks me when Nigerian men like you speak about abortion. For a woman to get pregnant, its the Male's fault. He has coerced her into having sex and refused to use contraceptives. After getting her pregnant, you back out citing numerous excuses ( If Nigerian men where in the states, their view would be very different , because you can be arrested and have your salary taken for child support). You leave a young woman to face life alone. She will be home-bound for at least a year, Its hard-work carrying a pregnancy, more-so giving birth and raising that child. They are completely dependent on the mother for at least 18 years. She has a lot of sacrifices to make. You as a man, can walk away. MEN should have no say in abortion PERIOD!! You can read your bible and preach. But do not question a woman's choice when it comes to pregnancy. |
iPopAlomo:He's is not small, don't compare your pain to others. It may seem small to you but he's in pain. No need for one-upping on a vulnerable and abused young man. |
ricki:Physical and emotional abuse is not bullshit. |
GogobiriLalas:Please stop telling that boy to apologize. In a civilized country, his father would be in jail because of the physical harm that he has caused this young man. He hasn't done anything to deserve such wickedness and nothing to apologize for. I am even scared that if his father sees this post, he will ause the OP some more. OP needs to get out of that house ASAP! |
Afrok:WTF Man! This man is being physically and emotionally abused by his father and you're telling him to show him love?? What Love? Love for somebody that rubs pepper on your body and flogs you 42 lashes will nud^e Don't be delusional. His father is a monster!!I bet his father must have been maltreated as a kid also, this is why I am against any kind of physical abuse on children, because Nigerians will do horrendous things and call it discipline. TO OP!, I don't know how old you are, but its time for you to MOVE OUT OF THAT HOUSE. Find a friend's couch you can sleep on, get ANY Job and start living. Please also make sure to see a therapist in the future or talk to somebody. You need help, if I were close to your location, I would have helped you. NO ONE SHOULD SUFFER LIKE THIS. Therock5555, Please know that Its not your fault, Your FATHER IS AN EVIL MAN! May GOD HELP YOU. |
to be honest, I am conflicted about the issue, I have never read the Quran and cannot say for sure if it encourages killing. Then again these acts of terrorism are performed in the name of Allah. |
Yes I would. |
Why do you want to stop your baby from being left-handed? Its a natural thing. Besides, various sources have said that changing the dominant arm of a baby causes some development problems. Accept your child |
The only problem I have is that Onegai is talking about the privileged (Rich) and well-educated women who become SAHM. These women know and have the resources to train their children. In the U.S, there is a lot of support for homeschooled children, they have their own syllabus and have various programs to assist them. We all know that the average Nigerian woman works (mostly self-employed), but the few in-betweens who are full time SAHM's do not have the capability and resources to train her Child. Like Mindfulness asked, How will they write WAEC or NECO with all the various experiments you have to do especially in Physical science subjects. It's not easy for a non-professional to teach even basic physics. You have great examples of women in your post but I don't think they represent the average pool of SAHM's in Nigeria. However, If a woman want's to be a SAHM, go ahead, no restrictions, if she wants to work, no restriction . Both women have it equally hard. |
daretodiffer, freecocoa, cococandy, MzMyColi, fem29, I would like to hear your input on this matter. |
Olufemiolaolu:I like rough drives. A lot of adrenaline is being pumped. Its exciting!! |
IndianaJay:Exactly on point. I cannot imagine why someone would allow their spouse go through this. |
Always test drive before buying! I think your husband has to see a doctor first because there is nothing you can do here. Pre mature ejaculation is the worst because, even a little amount of foreplayy can cause leakage. If he does not want to take drugs or see a doctor. Then start training him using Start and stop method. If you are on top , do like 5 rides/strokes and stop. He rests for a few seconds and you continue. If na oral same thing/, stop every 30 seconds and start again. It's not the best but he lasts longer. But the best option is that he visits a doctor. |
Has the government stopped subsidizing higher education? Why is there such a dramatic increase? A lot of students may not be able to further their education because of this. |
Perpetual459:Lol.. The time you have used to tell me to shut up. You could have used it to search for resources to help yourself. Dey there dey look |
This is a joke right?? All the books you studied to earn your degree and pass the chartered accountant exam did not have those things in it ![]() |
akwara1234:your own words!!!! Shame! Shame!!! Shame!!!!! |
akwara1234:Does not change the fact that you are a rapist and abuser. Shame on you. |
pongwa:So what, Everyone lies and pretends. I can say with confidence that you have lied at least once this month. Should you be raped and physically assaulted because of that. If this man were in a western country, he'd be facing at least 2 years of jail time and be booked into the sex offender category. His actions were very wrong. |

I missed you baby |
Miggs:Thanks for your input. You are what I call a BETA Male. Let me give you an example - Take a look at Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija. She is the richest African woman in the world. She is happily married to Modupe Alakija for 37 years. Mrs Alakija is a business woman, she goes to work, meets important and successful men everyday. Most of these men are handsome,intelligent and even richer than her husband. Yet she comes home to her husband every night. Do you know who an ALPHA MALE is? Mr. Modupe Alakija is. He has a wife that is at the very top of her game in the world, yet he is strong enough to lock that pussyy down for 37 years. He is not bothered that his wife meets with men who are better than him. He knows that he is worth more than that to Mrs. Alakija. A BETA Male like you would prefer his wife to be locked up in the kitchen because you know that are not worth It. You are scared that if she goes out there, she will meet men that are better than you. Which is correct, you are not worth shiit and you know that. |
