This is very true. The amount of freedom in Nigeria is plentiful, where any thing goes, encourages individual creativity among Nigerians due to lack of extremely restricting laws, and the shortage of freedom in developed countries usually comes as a shocker to Nigerians when they arrive in the US, UK, Canada e.t.c., where laws are plentiful and restrictive, and laws strictly obeyed to the latter.

you're right

Melahou:
do you know the meaning of "don't judge a book by its cover"
how is the title misleading...you don't conclude a subject matter by its title
read the content then understand what its saying.
the title is "catchy"so that people like you will be eager to read it.

thats how newspapers and other make sell.

am sure you don't read books to understand this

"Beaten Mercilessly", No matter your explanation, the truth is that the title of the post is misleading. Nairaland is one of the most popular forums in Nigeria. It doesn't need misleading titles.

The only reason why you are defending this article is because it is on the front page and the mods allowed it. If it were a normal post , people would have been insulting OP!

How are you sure I don't read books? I can't take people who result to personal attacks seriously. I will not respond to you anymore. Have a good day.

Pls who ever owns or manages nairaland is nt in any way trying @ all. This site is turning into a child's play on daily basis where kids and stupid bloggers will post al manner of rubbish to waste our time here to be frank am really getting tired of all ths OMG!, see this, see that, click here click this link and so on. I personally think too much of everything is boring. So who ever is in charge I think u got work to do here. #vegatalks#

Exactly! Just imagine this post. At least the title should have said " kate Henshaw fighting in a movie set" but instead the mods post a very misleading title. Why?

You can see the cameraman and the camera in the third picture.

Destaye, 11, and Addisu, 23, Ethiopia. Addisu and his new bride Destaye are married in a traditional Ethiopian Orthodox wedding in the rural areas outside the city of Gondar, Ethiopia. Community members said that because of his standing as a priest, Addisu’s bride had to be a virgin. This was the reason Destaye was given to him at such a young age.

Bishal, 15, and Surita, 16, Nepal. Bishal accepts gifts from visitors as his new bride, Surita, sits bored at her new home. Here in Nepal, as in many countries, not only girls, but boys too are married young.

Faiz, 40, and Ghulam, 11, Afghanistan. Ghulam and Faiz sit for a portrait in her home before their wedding in Afghanistan. According to the U.S. Department of State report “Human Rights Practices for 2011,” approximately 60 percent of girls were married younger than the legal age of 16. Once the girl's father has agreed to the engagement, she is pulled out of school immediately.

Sarita, 15, India. Sarita is seen in tears before she is sent to her new home with her new groom. The previous day, she and her 8-year-old sister Maya were married to sibling brothers.

Leyualem is transported by mule to her new home on her wedding day. The men later said the cloth was placed over her head so she would not be able to find her way back home, should she want to escape the marriage.

Mejgon, 16, Afghanistan. Mejgon weeps in the arms of her case worker near fellow residents at an NGO shelter run by Afghan women in Herat, Afghanistan. Mejgon’s father sold her at the age of 11 to a 60-year-old man for two boxes of heroin.

Asia, 14, Yemen. Asia washes her newborn at home in Hajjah while her 2-year-old daughter plays. Asia is still bleeding and ill from childbirth, yet has no knowledge of how to care for herself or access to maternal health care.

Bibi Aisha, 19, Afghanistan. In a practice known as "baad," Bibi Aisha's father promised her to a Taliban fighter when she was 6 years old as compensation for a killing that a member of her family had committed. She was married at 16 and subjected to constant abuse. At 18, she fled the abuse but was caught by police, jailed and then returned to her family. Her father-in-law, husband and three other family members took her into the mountains, cut off her nose and her ears, and left her to die. “I was a woman exchanged for someone else’s wrongdoing. [My new husband] was looking for an excuse to beat me.”

Rajani, 5, India. Long after midnight, Rajani is roused from sleep and carried by her uncle to her wedding. Child marriage is illegal in India, so ceremonies are often held in the wee hours of the morning. It becomes a secret the whole village keeps, explained one farmer

Tehani, 8, Yemen. “Whenever I saw him, I hid. I hated to see him,” Tehani (in pink) recalls of the early days of her marriage to Majed, when she was 6 and he was 25. The young wife posed for a portrait with former classmate Ghada, also a child bride, outside their home in Hajjah.

[quote author=eduresearch post=31860904][/quote]Nigerian job market sucks. Maybe you should try looking for internationally or other African countries. Countries like UAE, Canada , US, kenya, Angola.

Civil engineers are in high demand there

kilmix:
Lots of promises without a single blueprint to accomplish them.


If Nigerians were "literate" enough they would have seen the big handwriting on the wall. It's even written in the skies.

Good post! It is refreshing to see a thinking Nigerian on this forum.
