CultureRe: My Wife-To-Be Is An "Osu" by Revive(f): 2:57pm On Jan 16, 2008
If u do not know, according to the way “they” classify Osu, the mere fact that your family is a friend of the so called Osu, means your family is also now classified as Osu. Would u accept that? undecided

If you know the history very well, in those days the Osu(s) do not even go to the same market with others neither were they to shake hands with others talk more of being friends.

I guess that even the whole society (if not the whole world) is already contaminated. wink

Get it clear and send this message to them:
Osu Is Rubish If U Are a real Christain. Christ has scrapped it out long time ago.
CultureRe: My Wife-To-Be Is An "Osu" by Revive(f): 2:35pm On Jan 16, 2008
From your post I understand that your family and the family of your would be sister in law are Christians.

It is a very shameful thing that some Christians do not know what it means to be Christians. "They" (Christians on quote) hold to what even the pagans a dropping.

It is extremely shameful. Church family friends indeed!  If I am your brother, I will be happy to break this paganish taboo. I will make sure I invite others regarded as Osu(s) and Oru(s) to my wedding and eat and dine with them.

Candies thanks for that comment

I think it is about time that the so called Osu(s) and Oru(s) should receive apology from those who have been insulting them and their generation.

Shameless people! So if Christ was born from one of such families he will be rejected. undecided

Please how can I get in contact with that family you call Osu? I will be glad to shake hands with them, dine and do things with them when visit.  tongue

(I will see whether the whole of Igwe’s Palace will be affected and regarded as  contaminated and Osu)    wink

[/quote]quite frankly,the sexual behaviour and tendencies of men and women are not measured by the same yard stick. As i said earlier,society expects women to be on a higher moral ground.it aint fair but that is just how it is.So you can't say the same about guys.A guys past is not as important as a girl's past.I'm not being biased,it's just the truth.This is how society has made things[/color].
Who told you they are not measured the same? You are daaaaamed lucky! meet a reserved girl/lady that knows her worth and boast about how a man’s reckless life does not matter, and you will be jilted to your face with no soft words.

In your own diary, a woman should live a clean life whereas the man should live a reckless life and afterwards the man will want a woman with a clean life. undecided

Don’t worry you can live your life the way you want but God will give you what you deserve.

[color=#990000]To further prove this point,i have alot of female friends,we talk alot about such issues and they generally don't care about  the nature of their guy's past.They don't care about how many girls he has slept with etc.
Not in this generation! You are dreaming! Cos your so called female friends do not care you think other women do not care. ‘Wonder the kind of female friends you have even.

the truth is society expects higher moral standards from women so u can't quite use this assessment on men, because it doesn't make sense. that's why a dude can sleep around and get away wit it, but once a girl does it,she is labeled a LovePeddler.it aint fare but that's how it is!
It is not fair yet you accept it. huh

But I can't beleived it happened like that. I never heard of such tales. I can't beleive a boss will be that heartless. Usually u have extra holidays (days off) given for your marriage. Some bosses even give quite enough days to cover your honey moon as well. Besisdes what about your normal holidays? Why not fix your wedding within your normal holidays if you've got a nice job.

RomanceRe: His Mouth Smells; Should I Tell Him? by Revive(f): 1:13pm On Dec 18, 2007
@Poster
You really have tried to go that far.

If it is me, I can’t stand mouth odour. I will also not want to insult him. So in the first place,  there wouldn’t have been any intimate relationship between me and such person. I will gently and politely refuse his advances. I detest it even with fellow girl friends, not to talk of life-partner or would be life-partner. I do not hate such people anyway but just that I am allergic to mouth odour. There will also be no need for me to lie with statements like “I've gat an injury in my mouth” since I do not believe in intimate kiss (and sex) before marriage.  

His family-parents, siblings are in better position to tell him. I wonder how some parents bring up their children? Cleanliness is one of the basic things a child should learn right from childhood so it becomes a part of him/her and makes him/her uncomfortable any time he/she does not clean up properly.

Nevertheless since you have already gone far with him, you just have to tell him the plain truth but be polite. On the other hand, keep in mind that if he is the type that can not be corrected or if he is not used to cleanliness, he may never change. This one you are already talking of kiss-kiss, he might deceive you, brush for some time, get your kiss and hand in marriage only to go back to his usual mouth odour after you’ve settled.

BEST WAY TO IMPLEMENT THE POLICY:
laudate:
,  those currently on the programme, who have done 80% of their research work needed for a Ph.d, should be given grants by the universities to complete their work, or offered assistance in some way to round-up their programme in the next 2-3 years?
laudate:
What is needed to produce more Ph.d holders are incentives, lower academic fees, more grants, research facilities, accomodation and supervisory support, to ensure that qualified candidates are attracted to undertake and graduate from Ph.d programmes, in larger numbers.

Depending on context, standard can also stand for quality.
If you do not know, see dictionary.com definition of standard (number 4 ). It defines standard as :

“4.  An average or normal requirement, quality, quantity, level, grade, etc.: His work this week hasn't been up to his usual standard.”  cheesy

And did you note these?  undecided:

"The directive that lecturers must acquire doctorate degrees have been in the statute books since 1989.

Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission,,  - stated that the non-possession of a doctorate degree will not be the end of the teaching career of the lecturers but the National Universities Commission may resort to the American model where such lecturers are graded as tutors and their authority over academic programmes restricted to an auxiliary level."

Shall it be repeated over and over again that it has been in the book since 1989 for it to get into people's ears? undecided

Yup the more educated we are the better. They may not have to sack present lecturers without PhD, but if they want the policy to be effective they can hence forth be recruiting only lecturers with PhD as main staff. A lot of PhD holders may not want to go into lecturing, no worries not every body will lecture and not all PhD research is for lecture purpose anyway. All the same there will still be people who want to lecture.

@Kobojunkie,
You seem to infer that the more one studies for higher degrees, the less oppurtunities available. Or better put, the less salary he/she gets.

From all you have written, it's clear that you don't even merit a First Degree . Infact, in your own world, a Diploma holder earns more than a Professor in the same field.

Why did you bother to go for the Master's degree -which I doubt- you have? I suggest you follow Revive's advice, so that, at least you may be revived.

There are also cases where people with MScs, MBAs and whatever else, as well as people with no academic degrees whatsoever, have been seen driving cabs. So what exactly is your point?

Lol Thank you oo. wink
May be employers -the executive directors , board of directors (and advisory board) of an industry/company who are themselves PhD holders will employ a masters degree holder and pay this masters holder more than what they themselves (the employers) get.

Hey oya! masters holders in Bio-pharmaceutical industries, oil companies, engineering construction/production companies, Chemical industries, Molecular/biotechnology industries etc mobilize yourselves and campaign against your bosses that you should be getting more pay compared to those your bosses with PhD because u have been going through rigorous industrial experience from one caompany to the other all your life.

@Kobojunkie
Even though your links is not from multinational industries, they still show that PhDs are paid much higher than Masters.

A company that is still struggling will of course employ more Masters degree holders because they may not be able to pay a lot of PhDs. But a well established Multinational industry/company needs and employs PhDs as every living thing needs water. And in these kind of industries the pay is in no way comparable to a Masters.

You still sound like ‘because of the stress involved in getting a bachelor (or any first degree)’ one should stop with a secondary school certificate. Well it requires more than just a wish for people who finally made it into inventions or innovations. So because it could be stressful (depending on how u see it anyway), we should not strive for the best? We will wait for other nationalities to acquire the best and then we start seeking for their help in technology/sciences in our country. Even research institutes you mentioned, I guess you have no idea what these institutes generate financially. I guess you have no idea what a single patent can give. How dare you compare a Masters degree and a PhD degree? huh

I still maintain you look up this.
Revive:

The more educated we are, the better, lecturer or no lecturer! So about lecturers getting PhD, it is a welcome idea. The only thing is that for some who went into lecturing because of unemployment, as soon as they get their PhD they will most likely get out of the  lecturer job (except for those mostly from faculty of education), because they now have a lot more of opputunities.

With these I doubt whether you really have an idea what PhD is all about.

So in your whole understanding a PhD holder can not work in an industry? huh In your whole understanding a PhD holder did not already have a Masters degree before going for doctorate degree?  huh

In your whole understanding, when a PhD holder and a masters degree holder for example in the same field e.g. pharmaceutical sciences, are working in the same pharmaceutical industry, the masters degree holder gets paid twice the pay of the PhD holder? huh

And with the way u use opted, it sounds as if Masters and PhD are the same level that you can just choose one in place of the other. Get it right if you don’t have Masters, u can not even opt for PhD even if u want to. You have to get masters degree before you can get PhD. It sounds like saying one can opt for a secondary school certificate instead of a university first degree as if they are equal.  undecided

Masters is just a second degree while PhD is a third degree (or even fourth degree if an M.phil is included).   cool

People like you think that PhD is solemnly for education sector. I see one of the issues why Nigeria is lacking behind. We do not aspire into having academically excellent industries for manufacture of quality products. You think that most top international industry and company owners stopped in Masters Degree and employ just masters degree holders? That is why for example we do not have excellent pharmaceutical production industries, not to talk of having series of patents. That is why we so much lack behind in innovation because we are satisfied with Masters. That is why we do not even have a single auto production/manufacture industry (am not talking about assembly). That is why refining our God given oil is a problem- we have to rely on external experts.  cry

Check out with multinational industries/companies and tell me whether it is not PhD holders that they recruit more. Besides how many multinational industries does Nigeria have? Well the answer is clear – most people are satisfied with just Masters Degree. You want to be looking around for who will employ you instead of thinking about the possibility of you owning a reputable industry and employing others.

You want to say that in the same hospital a medical doctor with a PhD gets less pay compared to a medical doctor with a Masters? Or in the same engineering firm an engineer with a Masters degree gets more pay than a PhD holder. Or in a law (advocate) firm, a Masters holder gets more than a lawyer with PhD?  huh

You clearly have no ideal what PhD entails. It is not just about research okay. You have to do research to publish your papers and graduate but once u finish, it is not just about research. You can work in wherever u wish to depending on your field of study. Do u reason that if a Masters Degree holder can get more pay than a PhD, then a PhD holder can as well decide to work with his or her Masters degree because he\she already has it (he/she will just keep the PhD degree). But that is not the case anyway because mostly a PhD holder gets at least twice the salary of a Masters Degree holder in the same field and same work area.

To broaden your knowledge, find out how much PhD holders and Masters degree holders in the same Multinational industries are paid. Since your options are based on pay, if you find out the difference between the salary of a PhD holder and a masters degree holder in a given multinational industry, u will crave for PhD  cheesy and do all you can to study up to PhD level.
