I won’t give you cash, I will pay via your portal, Forget about cash, we need to reduce the level of illiteracy, I will choose randomly and it must be distress, Don’t take money from your parent and tell me story , I am doing distress payments not comfort pls

God bless your generosity.

Is this applicable for higher level students like M.sc. cos I'm in serious need of my school fees, that's what is stopping me from carrying out my defence and completing my M.sc program

LONG STORY ALERT!!!


Good afternoon Nairaland.

God has been so good to my family this year and a particular blessing has been giving us sleepless night.

I work with a big organisation here in Lagos and currently earn about N600k. I used to work in the branch since my entry level days 6 years ago until I was able to runz the head office movement.

Ever since I join the HQ two years, my life has been at ease. No weekend duties, no sickening pressures from customers. I have been able to develop my self, complete the professional courses I abandoned and can rest well on weekends/public holidays.

The worklife balance now isn't only the advantage of working at the HQ. The career progression and rapid promotion crowns it all.

My spouse earns a little above N400k and we manage ourselves well. Our combined income isn't that much but we've been able to achieve a lot due to our mutual cooperation. She commits her resources 100% into our home. Some people see me as a "big man" outside, no knowing I am actually enjoying the reward of marrying a good wife.

My wife recently got a job very lucrative job. Salary is about N1.5M monthly. She was on the process for close to a year. You can imagine our joy when she was eventually given an offer. This job is a huge one for us as a family and will make life more sweet.

My pain now is the job is based at Abuja and that means she has to relocate there with our kids. Abuja is not where I can drive to considering the security situation of Nigeria. Also, it won't be wise to fly down every week (I also have hidden phobia for heights ) because of costs and other attendant risks.

I actually want us to live together as a family most especially because of our kids. Some Kids tend to be spoilt when raised almost alone their mothers. As a father, I want to jointly raise them with their mother and also instill discipline in them appropriately.

The only solution on sight is to ask my company for redeployment to a branch at Abuja. This I fear might return me back to "Egypt". I.e days of stunted growth, no promotions. In summary, I am scared of killing my career by myself.

My wife is okay with us visiting each other every month but I am vehemently against it.

Someone please help

Allow her to go. But firstly, take a month leave at your place of work, go there and visit her, on the visit, you can spend more time with her, monitor her routine, do your own findings about the new job, this will help you know how she's handling the family when you're not around, such a monthly pay will have great responsibilities. And she might not be able to handle it alone. This will further help you know if you should join her or not. If you guys decide to stay differently, visit her twice a month, then on your leave period. Then on her own leave period, she should come with the kids during their holiday to visit you..

Tell Me about the Right persons you want to meet. Or How much is Needed to get this Project/Idea to Limelight?

Please Speak before we loose you and the Idea and we are back to Square !%,*

Nobody is losing me, and I'm working on it,
Thanks for your concern

IderadeAratumi:
.

Applaudable. The kind of value I was insinuating. Do not share your idea with anyone. Instead, package it into a captivating, irresistible proposal and share with relevant UN agencies home and abroad. Nothing is guaranteed but it is a good place to start.

Best of Luck!

I would be doing just exactly that, thanks

IvyGRush:
Good Day @Reasonwithme2
Can you kindly Share this please

Good day sir, but I won't be sharing anything to anyone until I meet the right persons involved.

jabberjawz:
Not true, they recruit both internally and externally, but volunteering is one of the easiest way to get into the UN system.

How can I volunteer.

jabberjawz:
Most times you need to get information on youth innovation/ entrepreneur ship via the official webpage of the UN agencies eg UNICEF, WHO, UNHCR, follow them on LinkedIn, Instagram, twitter, check out their official website for information on these.

Thanks, I appreciate

IderadeAratumi:
I am a Female Nigerian in my early thirties and have been working @ the UN for several years.

This thread has been created to answer specific questions you may have about working in the UN.

I have been working from home since the beginning of the pandemic and my days are always extremely busy ; juggling official duties with domestic responsibilities as a wife and mother . Notwithstanding, I will try my best to select serious questions and provide comprehensive feedback that will help you kick start your journey in this regard.

As the thread progresses, I shall be posting vacancies from several UN/international organisations in Nigeria, and also provide support with helping you to brand your CV for international organisations like the UN, but not limited to the UN.

Please note that this thread is for serious minded peeps only and comments irrelevant to the purpose of this (life changing) thread will be overlooked.


Kind Regards,

I have a skill acquisition/youth development scheme in form of business idea, UN and other international organizations as well as NGOs can adopt and help youths and make money as well..

We will never forget

I'm convinced, with the responses seen here, there are jobs truly but intelligent applicants are few

usah4:
Let Say

cutiedave:
There are no correct answers to these questions...

dessycute:
I actually love challenging questions and puzzles. Kindly do well to drop the correct answers after our trials...

,

Psoul:
So who can answer any?

1. How many children are born every day?
And: Babies are born daily, children there is a wrong use of context


2. If you have 2 eggs, and you want to figure out what’s the highest floor from which you can drop the egg without breaking it, how would you do it? What’s the optimal solution?

Ans: no matter the height, an egg doesn't break when dropped on the floor, the floor in the context means ground and dropped means to keep gently

3.You have 100 coins laying flat on a table, each with a head side and a tail side. 10 of them are heads up, 90 are tails up. You can’t feel, see or in any other way find out which side is up. Split the coins into two piles such that there are the same number of heads in each pile.”

Ans: it's a 50 50 probability meaning that you'd have 5 heads and 45 tail each

4. There are three boxes, one contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges. The boxes have been incorrectly labeled such that no label identifies the actual contents of the box it labels. Opening just one box, and without looking in the box, you take out one piece of fruit. By looking at the fruit, how can you immediately label all of the boxes correctly?

Ans: the key here is taking out an apple in an apple and orange box labelled oranges. You'd correctly label the apple and orange box and then you switch the rest.



I just answered them. After about 45 minutes of reasoning, but if this was an interview, I won't have such time...

Ordinary land research, them never do finish. Na space them want come do??.
This agency will just be there eating money with no work or efforts to prove

More cash out for Mr president and his boys.

Download the LIVESPORT app from play store.. And watch at the comfort of your phone

That's not true, experience they say is the best teacher.
What someone doesn't know about or don't have experience in, can be easily swayed or deceived into doing it. That's why some people misbehave after seeing a different aspect of life. This is what most relationships lacks.
Give your partner every experience ever, both involvements in Godly and worldly things. And as well advise and guide them. Those experiences makes them set standards for themselves. Sometimes those involvement brings out the true nature of the person.
U get to know better the person you are dating and what they are capable of doing. Giving your gf alcohol doesn't mean she's not a wife material. It might be something you guys do for fun and have funny stories to tell later. Just guide them through the right path while doing so.. so they don't lose themselves

If you really want her back, do all you can to get her. Beg her, kneel down for her, call her, ask people she knows to help you out. It might take time but don't give up..
Next time don't allow your ego get in the way of your happiness.

Golden147:
Since yesterday she has been begging and sending texts, even begging my Best friend' to come help her beg me which my guy has been doing too..

But the major problem is, I can't even trust that girl anymore..... That's my major fear.

That's a good sign. She has recognised her mistake and wants forgiveness, which of course you owe her even if you don't want her again. Try to hear her out, and tell her not to try it again. I'm sure she'll not do it again. At least she's still loyal. You can still trust her, I guess it's with time, You guys should always talk things out. You'd never meet someone without flaw, your girl is a good girl, keep her

Golden147:
smile bro, thanks... just that mesef de too busy to go learn the IT stuff, I have already thought about it... Before dad died he Force me to go learn it but I chose patient medicine over it,now I'm regretting because I'm not even practicing the medicine sef again...
I have discussed with my Jr bros to go learn it , yet non- got interest in it...
So I discussed with her and she welcomed it...
Anyways, I have already read your advice...
My aim now is to Quit...

My dear there's nothing bad in investing in someone you love. It's never a waste even if you guys aren't together. I believe she was just testing you. And even if it wasn't a test, so you want to quit at the first hurdle, no bro, no. If she bleeped up forgive her and give her second chance, at least she never cheated. Even God gives us multiple chances then who are you not to give a second chance,
My advice to you, sort things out instead of running away.

Just type lol.
Then with full meaning lots of love

StacyO:
Please read through.


It was a men's arrangement cause, I was surprised how they all came to that agreement.

I tried breaking up with him the first time and he told his brothers about it. Guilt almost finished me cause, I was blamed for the excuse I brought up. His uncle who is in charge of the contract brought us back together again.

The main issue now is that I want to break up with the guy once and for all but, I don't want to hurt him and I still have to save the contract at hand.

The guy is very much attached to me already and I won't fake it, I'm equally beginning to feel butterflies in my stomach.

I want to go about it in a very simple way. So that at the end, we all go our separate ways happy.

Any idea is highly welcomed. Serious and mature minds please.

Thank you.


Modified:: I told him my own part of the story and my reasons of not wanting to be in a relationship with him.
I'm not ready for any relationship now and I dont like him. Most importantly, I dont want to chop his money while deceiving him.

He is still not accepting reality but, I'm sure with time, he'll move on.

PS: His uncle isn't aware of this yet and I begged him not to tell anyone.

Tell him you need space, that you're not comfortable with the way things are going, that's he's acting hurriedly. And it could lead to a disaster, if he'd want you to love him he should respect your decision and give you the space,
Then after the contract you be blunt with him, if you still don't want him

We all have standards, if she's not worth your standards, let it go. Learn to have pride sometimes, no be every thing wey dey under skirt you go bang. Your dick should have pride and standard too

Okay

All of you will come here and be posting vacancy without location, shey the vacancy dey heaven??

149 and counting

Jeff121212:
Guys I'm pretty popular on nairaland but to avoid banters, I created this account. Do pardon my typos and mistakes, I'll try to be as brief as possible.

I dated this girl for like a year and during that period we sure did have intercourse frequently. After a while we broke up because according to her, she lost feelings for me. I pleaded but she insisted that her decision was absolute so I let it slide.

Recently, I became better than I was financially, way better. I wouldn't want to attribute her coming back to it but she did come back and we got talking again.

About a month ago she said she had accomodation issues and pleaded to move in with me. I obliged. We became as close as we were when we were dating (,or so it seems to me).

I noticed that she changed churches and she is more fervent now. Although it didn't change much, we still do get intimate in the heat of it but for about a week or so now, she refused to give in to my advances. I confronted her and she said her pastor asked her not to.

Now the issue is I'm a one woman man who doesn't believe in philandering (sleeping around). Coupled with her living with me, I'm lost as to how to address this issue. I need suggestions guys, I really do like her and would love to settle down with her (God willing).

Thanks Guys

The best way to avoid temptations, is to avoid occasion that lead to it. You guys cannot stay together under one roof and expect not to be tempted. If she doesn't want it, what you need to do, is to define what ever you guys have, if you guys are not in line, then you don't stay together

Kelblaq:
She already broke up with me.

If you want her back, you can call her and tell her to help you out since you're not the church type. And if she really likes you, she would do it

justosee:
A better relationship with God only on Sundays, then they continue to fornicate for the rest of the week?

I'm not saying it's for only Sundays. Mind you, one cannot be all righteous. He should at least start somewhere and add dedication to it. Improvements will be made

Kelblaq:
We started dating about 4weeks ago! She said if she had known that I'm not a Church goer she wouldn't have accept to date me in the first place.

She just broke up with me now

There are sacrifices you ought to make if you like someone. Going to church isn't a bad thing. You will have a better relationship with God involved, so bro start going to church, you are not doing it for her, but for yourself..

Offorken:
Na u get ur mouth, I will expose u soon bastard, just keep ranting, after raping an innocent girl, u come here come pretend to be a best friend? Best friend wil kill u there anuofia
