If you are seeking university admission in Nigeria, or you just gained admission to study any of these courses, and you are from a humble background, draw closer and hold your ears. Yes, I said hold your ears! Make sure you graduate with a First Class. Second Class Upper and Lower are not options.

If you know say you go graduate with 3rd Class, you better use your 100L school fees to start POS business.

Except you know that your background is solid, and you can easily start up any trade, project, or business venture, a First Class Is NOT optional; it is highly required. It will open doors for you no matter your course of study. Organizations that sponsor scholarships are not Father Christmas. They look critically at your grades.

I have listed the courses below:

1. Public Administration
2. Mass Communication
3. Microbiology
4. Linguistics
5. Zoology
6. Sociology
7. Parasitology and Entomology
8. Psychology
9. Philosophy
10. History or Religious Studies
11. International Relations
12. Political Science
13. Any Nigerian language
14. Anthropology
15. English

Someone with a First Class in the courses listed above has access to more opportunities than someone who has 2.1 or 2.2 in a professional course like Law or Engineering.

Just face the primary thing wey carry you come school. Nor let anybody whine you say school na scam. Education gives you access to opportunities, and gives you an analytical mind to judge outcomes in a complex society.

erico2k2:
You are overthinking, no one can be arrested for saying flash, cos the word flashing has too many variables and the interpretation usually begins from the context for which it is used. Beside if you are telling a person that you indeed flash them inside a private place and the person you f lashed is an adult and they do not make a complain, there would be no issue, we dwell on the internet too much.
PS where did you fish this foto from?cos the UK outlawed the use of such hand cuffs more than 5 years ago, they are now isued rigid bar cuffs.

Gabriel411:
Mediocre posts, just chasing clout. Nairaland really is so useless now.

When you see a useless and mediocre post, move ahead to other posts. You must not comment. Stop fooling yourself.

CaptainFM1:
Calm down. I schooled in the UK. And on many occasions our tutors would tell us we speak better English than them. They speak horrible slangs and grammar in those countries than us.

Maybe you are mistaking the UK for Nassarawa.

Rubbish talk... Ops na abroad hopeful or probably new arrival with ITK syndrome.

It is still same ignorance that has ravaged you people in Africa. With all your 'I-Too-Know, see the way the economy and education of your continent is.

An angry youth leader from Uzo-Uwani in Enugu State was seen setting fire on a Tinubu's re-lection billboard located at Uzo-Uwani. The man was seen repeating the statement 'We don't want Tinubu in our land'.

This is happening at a time more Nigerians in Nigeria and in the diaspora are calling for a change of government, following the increase in insecurity, inflation, unemployment, and a brutal decreasing standard of living.

Never use this expression: 'I flashed her' or 'I flashed him' when you find yourself in a country where standard English is spoken. Examples are the United Kingdom, US, Australia, Canada, etc.

REASON: It might be a slang for saying you called someone and hang up quickly for them to call you back in Nigeria, but in these countries, it means to show someone your unclothedness or nude, which is a very serious crime

WHAT TO SAY INSTEAD: The standard English for that expression is 'I gave him or her a missed call' or 'I gave him or her a quick ring'.

I hope you have learnt something today?

Adakintroy:
Half of una weh de insult am na so una be with money low key. If nigerian de insult government go just de look their mouth. Average many can support yahoo and find justification. The girls can do runs and find justification. The other half are serious gamblers. Yet they believe if they handle money they will be fair.

If this is all you could think as the educated person you claim to be, then Nigeria is really in a sorry state. The future is bleak for the youth.

Desmond Elliot as an actor is talented and exceptional, but as a leader, he really disappointed so many of us who cherished his personality.

It was Desmond Elliot who kicked against social media at a time people were using social media to fight injustice.

It was Desmond Elliot who called adults children at a sensitive time just for using social media to protest.

Today, injustice has come to the same Desmond Elliot and he is running to the same social media to protest and complain.

Today, he is going back to the same children to protest and complain. The World rotates and so does the table. What goes around must surely come around. Wetin happen for goat house fit happen for fowl house too.

We must always remember that no matter where we go, we should never forget where we are coming from for the sake of tomorrow.

A Nigerian man has painfully cancelled his wedding due to the difference between his genotype and that of his partner. I just imagine the type of pain they must have passed through while discussing how to cancel the marriage and end the affair.

This is why it is good to conduct a test before any talk of marriage. You cannot cheat nature. When e reach your turn, you go know say nothing concern vulture with clipper.

Dear friends and loved ones,

We sincerely apologise for the disappointment, inconvenience, and emotional pain this message may cause you.

In our excitement and deep affection for each other, we moved very quickly with our marriage plans and overlooked one of the most important steps. During our marriage counselling sessions, the clergy asked for our medical reports and compatibility clearance. It was at that moment we realised we had not done the necessary medical checks.

We immediately went for the required tests, genotype, blood group, and other essential examinations. The doctor’s report confirmed that we are not medically compatible for marriage, particularly regarding the risk to potential children.

After deep reflection, honest conversations, and much pain, we have made the difficult decision to call off the wedding. We cannot, in good conscience, bring children into the world who might face a lifetime of health struggles and medical dependency.

This was not an easy choice, but we believe it is the responsible and loving one for everyone involved, especially for the future generation we hoped to raise.

To our dear family, friends, and well-wishers who have already contributed time, resources, money, and emotional support, we are deeply sorry. Thank you for standing by us. We are truly grateful and ask for your understanding during this time.

To everyone preparing for marriage: please do not make the same mistake we made. Take time to do all necessary medical checks (especially genotype and blood group compatibility) early in the process, alongside prayer and counselling.

We trust that God has better plans ahead for both of us, and we ask for your prayers and continued love as we move forward.
Thank you for your understanding.
Much love.

~A man had cancelled his wedding after discovering that him and his to be wife are not medically compatible for marriage 💔

Me: this is avoidable, we have grown pass this stage of life. Major tests should have been the first step, before any marriage plan at all. But it's better at this stage than landing in regrets

Nobody go leave this life alive.

safarihunter is the second winner.... Still on page 3. Thank you for your patience.

Good Day to you. Isn't it flawed to pick 2 winners by going through their posts, then use raffle draw for the rest? Raffle draw can never be a test for ingenuity, originality, and contributions.

I am just saying.

Airlord2030:
the deceased is a cultist

So the culprits do not deserve punishment because he was a cultist?

kpankpangolo:
Enough with this dumb news. This is how you recognize that this forum is littered with children of the 14 - 22 year range. Any man above 26 would not expect his peers to be virgins. By then, you’d’ve gotten experience between women’s thighs and known there is nothing special about it. Younger folks are the ones yet to see women’s buttons and believe there is mystery shrouding the eight-minute act.

Some of the assumed children of the 14 - 22 age range are older than you.

Nairaland is a public space, and it is not suppose to be tailored to fit your personal wishes. If you are not comfortable, you can create your own media platform. After all, Donald Trump did it with Truth.

Okay ooo. Just imagine democracy in Africa.

For some days, the internet has been on fire over the alleged affair between the wife of Nigerian TV personality, Frank Edoho and singer, Chike.

I am not the type of person that spends much time online following trending stories, and all that, but one thing I noticed is that each time the story pops up, and I view the comments, I feel so ashamed at some of our young Nigerian mothers. What are you teaching your sons and daughters when you openly support a cheating wife? Would you openly showcase such support if the victim happens to be your brother or son?

Now, to the young men out there, let me give you a candid advice, and this is the gospel truth. Not every man out there is as meek as Frank Edoho. Some men out there are tigers and lions that belong to various cult groups. If you sleep with their wives, they will spend their time and money to make sure that you either leave the surface of the Earth, or you lose your hands and legs, and become useless in life.

My secondary school classmate had his head butchered with a matchet, and his right leg cut off at Isolo, Lagos for romancing with another man's wife. Unfortunately, he could not make it, as he died in the hospital after four days.

Whether a man is taking care of his wife or not, leave them alone. It is a family affair. God did not create you to be providing comfort or romance for women who lack such in their marriage. Please, it is not your duty to provide succour to a woman who lacks romance or care in her home. Just because you have six packs and a handsome face. Many men have gone. Be wise!

This is not a bro code. It is a warning. There is something Warri people call 'To die kamala'. It means to die for something that is not worth it.

Psoul:
Good observation.
On No 9, topography is not even the major cause of the water issue in Enugu State.
There is water in almost every ground in that state.

The major issue is that Enugu State is sitting on top of ground with great deposit of Coal.
If you drill borhole in 10 places, you will get coal deposit in about 8 or even all the 10 places.
Once the borehole passes through coal deposit, the water becomes useless and the money used in drilling becomes a waste.
9th Mile is blessed good soil without coal. That is where Enugu has the best water.

Yes, you are right on the issue of large coal deposits.

News just filtered in that celebrity businessman and nightlife promoter Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has reportedly lost his bid for the House of Representatives ticket in Imo State. He was seeking to represent the Orsu/Orlu/Oru East federal constituency under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Social media reactions have been swift, with many users mocking his defeat and suggesting he underestimated the ruthlessness of Nigerian politics.

More details coming...

Gerrard59:
No wonder my then secondary school mate who was the one who "tear eye" pass and one of the oldest then never still marry. Make James do marry, make I use am get hope.

@Rapmoney: What's the attitude of policemen in Enugu? Do they harass young men who dress well and drive nice cars? You know how it's in Warri.

That water issue is an IQ problem. There are topographically worse places that have water. Enugu shouldn't be an exception.

The RSS officers do 'stop and search', but not basically to harass people.

nlfpmod:
Nice one.

I actually thought you are from Enugu because you often post about the state.

No sir, I am not. Thanks a lot.

DeltaOil:
is this not the same man killed 2024?

that is killed again this year?

Can't you read? Are the names the same?

I spent about 10 years working in Enugu as a project manager in the education sector, and during my 10 year-professional journey, I learnt certain things about the town. This can help you towards planning if you want to relocate to Enugu.

1. Traffic Laws: Traffic laws are very strict in Enugu. You dare not park your car by the side on a major road. You dare not beat traffic lights positioned in almost all parts of the town. If you do, your vehicle will be towed to MOT office or you pay huge fines. Dem nor dey hear 'Abeg'.

2. Relaxed Attitude: The people have a relaxed attitude. They don't rush when doing things. It is common for people to sit in a town-service bus for more than 30 minutes in Enugu, waiting for passengers to fill the bus. My first year in Enugu was uncomfortable because it is something different from what I was used to in Warri. You do not see people rushing to work in the morning, even bankers. Everyone seems to do it slow slow.

3. Peacefulness: Enugu is one of the most peaceful towns in Nigeria. During my 10-year stay, I did not hear or witness any inter-communal clash or anything similar. In fact, I really did not see anyone fighting publicly, except verbal clashes (quarrelling) on few occasions.

4. The Women: Enugu has the most beautiful women in Nigeria. It is only closely followed by Owerri. Out of every 10 young women you see, 6 would be pretty, and the rest might actually look presentable. My neck and my head had a quarrel the first day I landed in Enugu. My neck said my head was stressing it too much, because of the constant turning and looking. As a man, you need to be focused or else, you will get distracted if you allow the beauty of the women to overwhelm you.

5. Enugu is an 'Oringo' Town: You must have heard the singer, Flavour called Enugu 'Oringo' in some of his songs. Oringo is a slang in southeast Nigeria which means 'party'. Enugu is a place where more money is spent than it is made. From Cubana to Toscana, from Trans-Ekulu to Abakpa, from GRA to Independence Layout, from Agbani to Obiagu, it is all about Oringo. Forget it. Enugu is the only place you can see beer parlours and bars opened from morning till night, with people drinking during working hours on weekdays. About 60% of alcohol in southeast is consumed in Enugu.

6. Okpa and Pepsi: In Enugu, they don't joke with Okpa and Pepsi. Okpa is a local food made from Bambara beans. N500 Okpa and one chilled Pepsi will go a long way for the average man on the street. Don't play.

7. Beware of Abakpa at Night: Abakpa is the largest area in Enugu town. It is owned by the Nike people of Enugu-East LGA. It is a place where you find the good, the bad, and the ugly. They are called Abakpa Ndi Nti Ike for a reason. When interpreted in English, it means the set of people that are stubborn and do not heed to advice. Abakpa is a place you can get the cheapest accommodation in Enugu if you are a beginner. It is also a place you need to be careful and mind your business. Nor dey waka waka for inside Abakpa for night, or else boys wey nor get joy go help you keep your property for you.

8. Choice Areas to Live: If you are financially buoyant, the best places to stay in Enugu with good security and road networks, beautiful environment, and magnificent buildings are Trans-Ekulu, Independence Layout, and GRA.

9. Water Issues: Enugu is a hilly place. It is good for hikers, but one issue that the town usually face is water shortage due to the topography. I hope the current governor, Barrister Peter Ndubuisi Mbah will address that soon.

10. Always Cook at Home on Sundays: If you are a bachelor or spinster, make sure you get ingredients on Saturday to cook on Sunday, else na hunger go kpai you. Enugu people don't joke with Sunday relaxation and outing. No matter the profits their business is generating, they don't sacrifice their Sundays for anything. Most shops and restaurants are closed. Even shops where the owners live in same building.

I am not from Enugu State. I am from Niger Delta, so this post has been written with an unbiased view.

Happy weekend everyone!

2024 csr for your reference

https://www.nairaland.com/8293294/1m-naira-corporate-social-responsibilities

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Mayorall will be giving out 4 pieces of 8th Gen Touchscreen x360 laptops to 4 eligible Nairalanders.

Eligibility Criteria

You must have been a member of Nairaland for at least 3 years.

You must have a history of contributing positively to help fellow Nairalanders.

Your posting history must be free from tribalism, hate speech, or constant insults. Sarcasm alone is not a ground for disqualification.


How to Apply

Tell us:

What you plan to use the laptop for

How it will help you personally, academically, professionally, or in business.


Qualified applicants will be contacted if selected.

Mayorall remains committed to giving back and supporting growth within the community.

Kindly note that a video verification will be conducted for beneficiaries .

All beneficiary will be selected in the next 7 days.

I am deeply grateful to Mayorall for this thoughtful and generous initiative to reward active Nairalanders who consistently create helpful, informative, and educational threads that enrich the community. It is inspiring to see someone recognize the value of knowledge-sharing and choose to invest in the growth of content creators. This gesture goes beyond giving out laptops; it is an encouragement to continue contributing meaningfully and using our skills to impact others positively.

As an educational content creator and marketing content writer, winning a laptop would significantly transform the way I work and help me scale my business to a higher level. My work revolves around researching, writing, designing, and publishing content that educates, informs, and helps businesses communicate effectively with their target audience. A reliable laptop is one of the most important tools for achieving this.

In my educational content business, I create articles, tutorials, and explanatory materials that simplify complex topics for students, professionals, and everyday learners. I also plan to expand into producing e-books, online courses, presentation slides, and video lessons. With a laptop, I will be able to conduct in-depth research, write and edit high-quality materials, design engaging visuals, and manage my content more efficiently. This will allow me to reach more people and provide valuable knowledge that can help them grow academically and professionally.

As a marketing content writer, I help brands craft persuasive content that attracts customers and drives sales. This includes website copy, blog posts, product descriptions, email campaigns, and social media content. A laptop will enable me to work faster, handle multiple projects, use professional writing and design tools, and deliver better results to clients. Ultimately, this will increase my earning potential and help me build a sustainable business.

Beyond improving my business, the laptop will also enhance my contribution to Nairaland and the wider online community. I intend to continue creating educational threads, sharing practical insights, and offering valuable information that empowers others to learn new skills and discover opportunities.

Winning this laptop would not just be a gift; it would be a powerful investment in my dreams, productivity, and ability to make a greater impact. It would help me grow my content creation business, serve more clients, and continue using knowledge to educate and inspire others.

Once again, I sincerely thank Mayorall for this generous opportunity and for supporting Nairalanders who are committed to adding value to the forum and to society. If selected, I will make the most of this laptop and use it to create even more meaningful and impactful content.
