luminouz:


Nope, not the guy. He never wanted it but your pea-sized brain even blamed him? He wanted a child.

You are a resurgent child killer

Last response to you because you appear to use only one side to your brain.

Getting a girl pregnant while in her parent's house and 4 months down the line promising to marry does not equate to taking responsibility.

Terminating a 4 months pregnancy is a big risk to even the girl, after 4 months the parents would likely have no choice but to be responsible for the pregnancy of their daughter.

If he has not taken actual responsibility, then he leaves the girl's guardians with the hard decision of deciding if they are ready to accept the responsibility of looking after a pregnant daughter and child and you cannot force that decision on them.

luminouz:

Abeg, shut it. CHILD KILLER!!!

the girl, the mother, and the guy all have blood on their hands.

You may not be immediately intelligent enough to have a well rounded opinion though

luminouz:


So it's he got a girl pregnant and she was forced to fuq him or what? Are y'all insane? I can't believe what I am reading

Two people fuqed but he is the guilty one. He wanted to marry her, he is still guilty. Na today men dey marry people dey give belle abi? If he initiated abortion, una go still blame am.

Thank God for the redpill. It never lies. Y'all natures will always be the dearth of your existence

You can take as many pills as you like.

No one accused him of being guilty, I have only informed him that promising to take care of a lady does not equal commitment and does not give him the right to dictate what happens.

Marriage or no marriage, if the lady was living with him and he was directly responsible for managing the situation and has done so well. He could justifiably be pissed, but not when the lady still lives with the parents and they have the primary responsibility for managing the girl and her condition.

Bringing a child into the world is a big responsibility that should be carefully considered

He will definitely bring theiratyer to Nairaland and tell us how he helped her life by marrying her cos she got pregnant for hom

Very wise mother!

I would do same!

Dont mind the guy.

Dynamicboss:


Easy bro. We know he did the wrong thing via pre-marital sex with his girlfriend but he is willing to own up and right his wrong. What the mother did by brainwashing her daughter to commit abortion is a more grievous and wicked act.

I hate when people are claiming righteous but their secret is worse.

Not even viewing religiously, making a statement or visiting does not equate taking responsibility. Many women are saddled with taking care of a child with an absentee father based on this statement. Some of the ladies have their careers truncated because they have to stay home looking after the child while the guy lives his life claiming baby daddy and sending cash once in a while. Not every parent is willing to take that risk.

If the guy had immediately asked to marry the lady and have her move to his apartment for care (assuming he is a position to do this), then I could agree the mother is heartless and wicked.

Barring this, the guy carries 50% of the blame, it is a hard country, you don't get a lady pregnant and claim responsibility by word of mouth or token action.

Brokendad:


Did you read the entire article? I have gone to see her parents already. The girl just confirmed to me that she never wanted the baby.
So, I guess I don't have anything to fight for again.

The first responsibility was getting married before getting her pregnant and you failed that.

You will take responsibility? How many ladies and kids have had their lives messed up because a random joe got them pregnant and claim he will take responsibility only to disappear along the line.

And responsibility is not just about sending money to take care of the care, emotional and physical support is also essential.

Bottomline is your are part responsible for the situation.

Saying you will marry her and a marriage date could be fixed does not equate commitment.

The only way to stem the continuous depreciation is for the country to vigorously engage in export of goods and services so as to earn more of forex

They could cut cost, borrow less, reduce rent seeking, provide incentives for company to invest in expansion, encourage domestic consumption by they themselve patronizing made-in-Nugeria goods......many countries thrive without being export oriented and we do not have to wait until we have a net positive balance of trade before we experience growth and progress in the country.

How any people work in Equinor? Equinor is a non-operating member of the Chevron Agbami JV. They are not likely to have more than 10 Nigerian staffs. Whereas Chappal is a new Nigerian company that would try to become operator of an asset. This will definitely require more staffs.

The problem is not necessarily the job loss or not, it it the likelhood that the oil field yield will decline. The technologies to explore and develop oil fileds optimally comes from the IOC majors. This is why when they exited countries like iran and venuezuela, their production tanked.

Nigeria is already below its opec quota, this is bad news. Chevron, Shell and Total are also divesting.

"If you are not able to secure a job in your chosen field after graduation and after 2 additional years on PSW, the chances that you will be able to secure a job after 5years of working in care drops by 80%"
~heroshark, Nairaland 2023"

I don't have any data to prove the above so I have to credit it to myself.

The reason for my argument is that the easiest way for people to into their preferred career without relevant experience is through the graduate scheme. Most graduate route don't expect you to have experience so they put your through a rigorous assessment to make sure they are picking the right candidate and once you are in they will support you to grow.
After 5years in carejob you simple will not qualify for any graduate program or scheme, and you will not have relevant experience to compete for non-graduate roles.

The notion that companies don't sponsor is false, I applied to 3 jobs as a student and 2 of them offered sponsorship right from the start and even covered the visa fee. Some might say it's luck but whatever it is, it's proof that most big companies will sponsor you once they are convinced that you are a perfect fit for them.

I work in consulting and most people in my industry move from graduate to senior level in 4-7years grossly roughly over 100k+ in salary and bonuses.

Working in care for 5years means that you will lose valuable professional experience and career progression.

In my industry there is a huge rivalry b/w companies, such that they brag about poaching talents from their competitors (this is off the book though). A rival firm will gladly hire you and ×2 your salary and sponsor you.
After people working with competing firms, the next set of people that we fight to recruit is people with mid-senior level experience working in civil service and local council. This is because the public sector constituent our major client portfolio, so having staffs that understand how clients think and behave is a bonus.

So for the students reading this, please do your due diligence, it will definitely pay off.

You can't use your story or even field to make a theory.

Certain fields and industries are more open/exposed to offer sponsorship than others. For instance, many accounting firms (big4 or big10 as called here on the sponsorship list are open to offering sponsorship on contact. Discussion on why that is is a different subject. In the industry, an accountant is less likely going to easily find companies that offer on contact or they may be offering below average pay e.g a role that will fetch £50-69k, one will offer it for £25-30k with sponsorship and even those may not be so common. I also understand some data and IT focused firms/roles also rich sponsorship opportunities.

Mind you, an accountant without big4 or closely matching experience in Nigeria is unlikely to land a big4 job in the Uk and so will likely focus on industry roles.

Bottom line is not all industries and careers offer the same level of sponsorship opportunity. For instance a medical practioner/dentist/pharmacist and similar guys have a very high chance of securing sponsorship on contact. Someone with experience in hr or marketing will probably have much lower odds of getting sponsorship.

For some others in the industry, even when they are on the sponsorship list, it is not a norm to offer sponsorship on contact or make any firm commitment towards sponsorship.

So be thankful your prior experience and positioning has landed you in a rich fishing spot. Trust me many others work as hard and diligent but do not find same opportunity because of they do not have the prior experience in the visa-rich field to leverage on.

I currently worked in industry but also have experience working with a big4 prior, so I speak from some level of experience.

Except for some specialised engineering roles, my current employer will not offer sponsorship, neither will others in the industry. Best bet will be to join and hope you convince them to do so. For people with less than 24months on their visa, that is a challenge.

Please house I need information about this urgently.
My boyfriend who's studying in UK already, wants to take me in as dependent before the year runs out. Please what's the best way to go about this?

Not sure if this is the best pathway and this is unlikely to all happen this year.

He needs to:

- complete his studies
- get a skill worker visa or other visa type that is compatible with his plans
- get married to you
-apply for you to join him

I am telling you they could never ever match the Pakistani and Afghan community in population in the UK, the Pakis comes with their grandmothers,fathers and even the very elderly ones that cannot work or even do anything they bring them along, as i said, Naigerians are just too loud and boastful, go on social media all you see are Naigerians yapping nonesense on their videos they post about living in the UK or relocating to the UK.


Have you ever seen a video made by an Indian, pAkistani or other african people who lives in or relocated abroad? Only Naigerians do that.

Rightly said bro, Nigerians are just very loud.

Indians and pakistan migrate as a community and yet no much talk about them. They even bring people that cannot economically contribute to the country.

They often marry close cousins so their families are very close knitted and large.

I already told her to fix my door and i will send her the money but she refused.

Please who know how i can go with the deposit scheme report claim please..

I have decided to go ahead and pay her, but I will pursue the deposit scheme option as it seems like dealing with civil issueslike this is kinda complicated.

If I am not mistaken, rent is prepaid which means you pay ahead.

Hence if you were late by a few days and she took off your door, I reckon you only owe her rent up until the day she took off your door not a full month's rent. From the day she took off the door, it was no longer suitable living space.

I no be lawyer but this is the default position I would take if someone did this to me

Dollar go come down because people are coming into the country and the demand for naira will supersede dollar. Mark it somewhere. But it will later go up in January when people are travelling back. So don't buy dollar and keep because you go run at a huge loss. This is pure analysis. Don't play o.

Without FDI and revenue growth, dollar would keep depreciating in the medium term.

The borrowing up and down can only keep it stable for a while.

Even the Dangote refinery may not turn things around. May only reduce the level of depreciation.

The fact that the government substantially removed a large portion of the subsidy on petroleum and subsidy on FX payment and still struggles with revenue tell you it is in a very deep shit

Justice is for the higher bidder in Nigeria, with some sprinkles of "normal rulings" to try keep face.

Not a lawyer, but when the court granted victory to lawan who did not even participate in the primaries, I gave up on them.

How do you award a certificate to someone who did not even sit for an exam?

PHIPEX:
There is a close relationship between this stats and Divorce rate. The higher the divorce rate, the higher the potential for a woman to own a property IN HER OWN NAME. Why should my wife own a property in her own name if we are happily married, the least is co-ownership of property between the husband and the wife.

It also relates to the high rate of polygamy, women have higher tendency to own property in their own name if the husband is polygamous. In that case each wife tries to secure the future of their own children. Statistically, South East is least in polygamy in Nigeria because of the influence of Christianity, so their women will be the least in owning landed property in their own names.

Makes sense, the figures in the North, particularly North East wowed me

Handsomejok:



Collecting them from her is impossible because my daughter is 3 and my son is[b] 2 months old [/b] I don't trust my mum or my siblings with my children anymore and their mum is the only one who can take better care of them

It is inhumane to leave her at this point. With a 2 months old baby, she is probably not working and will struggle returning to the workforce without help.

Stay with her till the kid is at least 1 years old.

Also 15k is rubbish. Have you checked the cost of pampers and baby food?

Lastly, take time to read about postpartum period. She needs all the support she can get and show her more love. Put your family first in any decision you make, that is true fatherhood.

Abeg what could possible happen if you have a 3 months notice period to resign but want to do 2 months because that is how long the other employer can possibly wait?

HR doesn't seem to want to allow my offset with my annual leave. But I have a very good relationship with my boss and think I can get him to agree.

Thanks

The challenge is open to anyone. You can take it up. The $100 is still up for grabs

The more you attempted defend tinubu, the more you sound unintelligent.

You were also the one who claimed subsidy has not returned even when a secondary student presented with the facts could easily draw conclusion.

I understand tinubu has made the hussle harder for many. They are right to vent.

If you were into the business too, I would assume that would be your focus, except off course you are one the paid online agents masquerading as an uber driver.

badoh:

Was it Tinubu that removed the subsidy? There was no provision for subsidy in 2023 budget effective July 2023 as prepared by Buhari. Tinubu only announced it that subsidy is gone. The economy is biting hard, price of commodities are going up, the govt should do a quick one on transportation to alleviate the suffering of the people. Every State govts should have rolled out buses that will charge insignificant amount to help the populace but our leaders are self centered and don't care at all.

There is no subsidy in the budget, where did he get the funds to return subsidy and keep price constant over the past months?

He made a big policy mistake and attempted a policy somersault to correct the impact, but the damage is largely done.

My people in the UK, I'm ready to move in too. I will be applying for visa anytime from January or February but before I take the step, pls, I need this question; HOW MUCH DO YOU SPEND WEEKLY OR MONTHLY?

Because as it is now, I'm thinking of killing the idea of moving to the UK due to what my guys (3 friends) there are telling me.

Make I no leave my "better" life here go enter stress that doesn't worth it (according to them).


PLS, HOW MUCH DO YOU SPEND WEEKLY OR MONTHLY?

It's not too late for me to forget about it oo. Thanks!!

Ask your friends when they'll be back to Nigeria. At least they should be able to raise flight money

This is bad, Al Jazeera is the only unbiased news media covering this war, I guess Israel isn't comfortable with their honest reportage

I remember one of their journalists was killed last year by an Israeli soldier, they are always at loggerheads

Aljazeera is 100% qatari gov propaganda machine.

They never report on issues in qatar but target other countries issues.

Also, they played down hamas murdering killing spree in Israel where they shot people at sight but amplified Israels response.

Bbc is probably the only government affiliated independent media

pstemma1990:
just answer this simple question, if u are in the position of Edward mendy, would u just let everything go just because u are a Christian?..

Secondly u didn't follow this case up, the pastor asked the woman to apologize, but she refused.... Even God himself doesn't forgive till u ask for the forgiveness

guy you must be a yahoo-yahoo pastor.

When Jesus said "Lord forgive them for they know what they do...." to the same people killing him, did they beg him for forgiveness first?

If you want us to use Mendy or Ronaldo as our case study, that is fine, but then it confirms the pastor is a hypocrite, preaching what he does not do.

Matthew 23:1-5

A Warning Against Hypocrisy

23 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

U are entitled to ur opinion, so am I, that's why I pointed out few examples to u...

The pastor was on his own minding his bussiness, the woman accused him of what he never did.. Now the court of law found the accuser guilty.. My brother let the law take its course on her....

Look out what happened Mendy, he missed world cup, missed champions League missed treble, went to jail, lost his contract, can't get a new one all because of a false accusation..

I u want him to forgive like that.. She should be used to set an example..

The man who cannot practice what the bible preaches is not worthy to be a pastor or preach to others on how to conduct themselves.

I have nothing to add further, take it or leave it

pstemma1990:
it was the wowan that looked for trouble, if u forgive her just like that, tomorrow another person would come up to say another rubuish..

If u know how many carriers that has been brought down by such evil women...

Look at what happened to Green wood of man united and mendy of man city.. Even after the court freed them, thier clubs said that they want them again...

If she's not ready to pay, let her go to prison.

Mat 18:21-23...

21Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times! 23Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.…


but who am I to advise a pastor

On a side note these pastor and imans are one of the problems Nigeria has

Triton1996:


Recall that Maureen Badejo was slammed with a punitive damages in the sum of £100,000.00 by the UK court for defaming Dr Daniel Olukoya, the General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) and his wife Pastor Mrs Folashade Olukoya.

Unfortunately for Maureen Badejo, she has not been able to pay a dime out of the damages to the Olukoyas since the court gave the verdict in 2021. Her failed attempt to appeal the said judgment which appeal court described as pointless and hopeless only complicated her case as interests in the judgment sum kept mounting which has now left the lawyer to the Olukoyas with no option than to file for Bankruptcy against her.

At the resumed hearing of the Bankcourt application today, Maureen Badejo claimed not to have received the legal papers for her bankruptcy petition even though same had been served on her and evidence was presented that she had been served. The court has however in its magnanimity given her one last reprieve and ordered a hearing be fixed for the first open date after 14 days.

Maureen Badejo has now offered Dr Daniel Olukoya £1000.00 per month. She is basically saying she needs 100 months (about 9 years) to pay her damages to the Olukoya’s.

The offer was without hesitation rejected by the lawyers to the Olukoyas as wholly unsatisfactory.
