yea they are many of them in oil industry. The oil industry is the highest employer of Engineers in Nigeria. In the power sector there are engineers as well but corruption there is too much. The oyibo contractors downgrade our engineers to technicians because they feel we are not capable. Just like what is happening in Dangote refinery

That is precisely what I am saying, they can get employed, but as technicians, pay might be good, but it sucks.

jesmond3945:
why is engineering useless

Do you know any practicing Nigerian engineer, not a lecturer or a technician, an actual engineer, I studied Electrical Engineering, and I can tell you PHCN/NEPA has not employed a Nigerian Engineer to occupy the same role since the 70s, 99% of companies in Nigeria who employ engineers employ them as technicians.

As it is almost time for jamb to give admission this year, the portal for change of institution and course is still open for those who wish to have a change in their course.

Well let me put it this way, this thread is for you to comment the course you think is a bad idea for anyone to study.

Consider job opportunities and the future, will the course still be relevant in 20,10 years time.

Mine - Zoology (especially if you want to base in NIGERIA) just change it before its too late. You can change to ANY OTHER AGRIC COURSE

The question should be what course can you advice a jambite to study, because there aren't many, stay away from engineering, it is useless in Nigeria, useful courses

1. Medicine
2. Pharmacy
3. Building
4. Agricultural science
5. Banking

Sometimes the higher her age, the higher her body count

Again a 30 year old woman have many disadvantages

So age mate marriage ain't for me

Disadvantages like what?

Actually, it's the other way around

kingxsamz:
Funny guy.
Speaking logically? What's logical about the existence of an imaginary place you can't prove?


Funny guy, tell that to the person you quoted. You must be mistaken.

You replied to my statement why don't you answer it.

kingxsamz:
Funny guy.
He said he's speaking scientifically.

You know an example of a stupid analysis?
Believing that there's an imaginary paradise and hell even when there's no proof of it.
Your claim is, when we die we'll either go to hell or heaven.
Now, have you died before?
Speaking scientifically my black ass.

Well then, do you know what it means to speak scientifically, sorry let me break it down for you speaking logically based on grounded premises, maybe that is still too much for you, it basically means speaking with common sense.

If you read my comment correctly you will see I said life after death, whatever you choose for it to be is what it is. And why did you not address the main logic I possed to you if you are so smart to come up with your hypothesis of no life after death.

So by definition, anything good that happens is a miracle?

Most of you need checkup. You need to really go and find the meaning of miracles

CyberEBOLA:
NOBODY IS GOING TO HELL OR HEAVEN!
WAKE UP!


Anyway, where were you before your parents had sex?
That should answer the question.

At death, we simply stop existing!

Okay, so your arguments is that because we don't remember what happened before our birth there isn't heaven or hell? That is a very stupid way to analyze anything, and I am speaking purely scientifically here.


My question to you now is "do you remember anything about when you were 6 months old or 1 year old"? And I am sure you don't, does that mean you did not exist at that age? I am not the most religious human on earth, not even in my building, but I am sure there is a life after death, don't deceive yourselves with unscientific facts based on bigotry towards Religion .

Na wa o. Why dem dey run? Nigerians wey full Uae go reach 5 million.

These people are just getting a free ride.

mdan:
It's widely known that love alone, is not enough to keep a family standing. There are other factors contributing to a healthy marriage of which respect, loyalty, money etc are involved.

Now, in a situation where a wife earns more than the husband, will there be respect?

And if there is, how long can a woman keep up before she starts acting weird?

For the ladies do you think it's an issue earning higher than your husband?

This is a dumb topic.

liberalchick:
Na, no lawsuit, it was just a letter from his lawyer. Na the police can’t hold anybody for not paying a sum someone’s lawyer arbitrary assigned.

Well then he f^cked up, it certainly will be used against him if she decides to take it up. I guess I understand the outrage on Twitter now

liberalchick:
It’s his right to do something legally.

Where is the lawsuit?

Correct me if I am wrong, I know only high level details of the case, but I do remember seeing something like that flying around, the one he asked for 100million, if that case is filed in a court of law, the police is supposed to pick up the accused immediately and can hold them for up to a period of 24 hours legally

liberalchick:
He never filed a lawsuit. This is just a well known playbook of privileged men “intimidation by lawyers”. He should go to court to prove his innocence/get compensation for his besmirched name.

Excuse me, what do you mean by intimidation, are you saying you will prefer for him to do nothing?

And also he did file a lawsuit

This is the issue with rape cases, I wish she had reported to the police before going on a social media rant. If you say things about someone else, things that can defame them, they are allowed have you arrested. If that is what Dbanj has done, I don't see anything wrong.

It is unfortunate that we only come out to show solidarity when rape cases involve celebrities, or only when victims have met their ultimate end, I honestly wish we could take more of these cases and be as vocal, then we shall truly see changes.

Josnac:
Well, as heartbreaking as your experience was, we all have different coping mechanisms.
I've been through heartbreak too, it wasn't easy. In as much as she went extreme, she's still human.

She needs to get arrested to learn to control her emotions, something in me says she did it intentionally, do you know how much Force you need to break an airplane window?

Xchangemadeeasy:
I hope this is true because that guy deserves an award for standing his ground and its something I personally would do.

When people want to get married, they should be responsible for their cost and expenses. If any family member or friends wants to help or support, it's simply out of their own volition and not compulsion whatsoever.

Some people would just have this entitlement spirit that is really annoying. Your husband earns 70k, maybe his net would fall back to 45k after removing transport and other expenses.

The poor guy is probably thinking of how to keep his family in shape planning with the little he has and someone somewhere believes he should donate his nothing less than three months savings to an adult who is not capable of carrying his own responsibility all in the name of in-laws and marriage.

Iberibe set of people...

It is a Nollywood script jare, all this fake stories on twitter and Nairaland

Josnac:
Emotions!
LOl..these my ogas dey vex. See, on the outside these issues appear very simple..but when you're in the situation you'd understand how painful some of these things can be.
People tend to make the most irrational decisions or take stupid actions when they're too emotional or heartbroken.

Very few people have experienced the unique type of heartbreak I have, my girlfriend, the only girl I can say I truly loved at the time got married while we were still dating, or while I thought we were still dating, but you don't see me trying to kill others for that.

Josnac:
Emotions!
Damn!!

Probably invested a lot in the relationship.

She is mad, her and her investments, so she puts other people's lives at risk because of her stupid emotional investments

edoairways:
Is the population of US the same with Africa?

What's your argument ? The population of Nigeria alone is less than 150 million people away from the USA

edoairways:
You want to compete in a saturated market? I pity una

What are you talking about, there are more network providers in the US than there are in Africa

Crystalom3:
Hello Everyone

I have a little problem and it's really killing me.

As almost is a custom in our house, you don't get a phone until you're out of secondary school.

Lately, my little sister has been begging me for my phone to use. Sometimes for Facebook, sometimes for assignments or just browsing and stuffs.

But the problem is, she's always searching for porn. She's 17 now. I don't know if it's out of curiosity or if she's addicted to it.

Everytime I get my phone from her and I check the browser history, I'll see Google search for 'porn' 'pornography' and then website clicks.

She also searches for lesbian porns with many click through.

I don't know if she's just curious or if I should be concerned. I've stopped giving her my phone even though she do ask for it sometimes.

I've thought about talking to her but I really don't know where to start or how. We lost both of our parents already and are staying with my uncle and his wife and I don't really want to talk to the wife about this.

Please any advice?

To be honest with you, I don't see the issue, please let the girl be, else she will be embarrassed and never speak to you about anything.

Even if you have to speak to her, which I don't suggest, you should laugh about it, but at the same time caution her. However, I wouldn't do it, any kid at that age is curious, I am sure you also did, with magazines or Nollywood movies, so just let the girl rest.

SeverusSnape:
All na mouth, They won't do anything to South Korea.
North Korea is arguably one of the most "useless" countries in the world, the only thing they know is nuclear weapons, threats and issuing ultimatums.

Look at your country before you call another useless

Run for presidency already, we would vote you in, I am tired of endless complain with no actions

Farki:
The President gave an order which they are disregarding.

Nigerian soldiers still have to follow the rules of the country. That's why the soldiers that freed Wadume were asked to be turned over to police custody, that's why a Nigerian General was arrested for money laundering, there's a case of a Nigerian military official in a legal battle over property with his wife is it a court martial that will handle that?



Being a soldier doesn't grant immunity from the law, it brings added limitations and freedoms.

Military code of conducts are often designed to mirror the law of the society they protect, but it isn't the same, civil judges or lawyers cannot proceed over military matters or officers, only in exceptional cases.

And because the military c of c are often alike to the civil laws people think it is the same, no it isn't, the order by the president excludes essential workers which I believe the military is part of, for government employees to now put them in the way of danger because of a law that don't apply to them is unacceptable, and they are allowed to do almost anything to get out of the situation

Farki:
No time? Did the war with Boko Haram or the interstate travel ban start today?

Or is it that the army can only man checkpoints properly in the South?

I dont understand what you are saying, seems we are talking about different things

Qaw361:
Marriage life is enjoyable

Enjoyable means not great but it is okay

Farki:
So a soldier can rape your wife or daughters and get away with it because they aren't ruled by the same law?

Because when the FG gives an order and they say to hell with that they are basically saying the President's authority is useless.

If you've read my comments previously you will see that I said it is only the president that has command over the military, and even the oath says the same thing, and yes if a soldier rapes a civilian he is tried by a different laws from the one that civilians are tried, they have a different system of governance basically, they have code and conducts, and every military man or woman has to abide by the rules, I don't know why that makes you feel bad

[quote author=Farki post=90637752][/quote]The Armed forces oath says it will bear allegiance to the the country , it did not say it will be ruled by it

Farki:
Did they take their grievance through the appropriate channels?

It is only hard for people who think the military is above the law.

I do understand what you are saying, but like what I have been trying to explain to someone else, there is absolutely no time to do that, what if there was a sucide bomber amongst the crowd, they make the best decisions on the spot to ensure they don't get casualties, crowd control is a big deal amongst officers

Farki:
Read the oaths taken by the armed forces and stop saying nonsense.

Why don't you share it with us and shut your gutter if you don't have any reasonable contribution to make.

Farki:
There was an order given which they disregarded so people could troop in. The order wasn't for them but the civilians.

Threatened to kill civilians which is a war crime.

Rammed through a checkpoint killing a policeman and injuring others.

Yet you're telling me no law was violated.

I swear Nigerians are a special breed of stupid.

In active war zones like Borno, soldiers cannot risk having crowds of civilians around them, the soldiers are not mad, they must have been stopped by the officials for them to act like that.

It will be hard to make a case against the military in this situation.
