You are in university and type and post with textspeak?

Pathetic soul!

Discrimination or not, I know the responses I get when I walk into any room anywhere in Naija and present my certificates - hence my initial comments about "a Yabatch kpali carrying weight".
It didn't always land me the job but it didn't make me despair either. . . . .no, I was and never will be fazed because I know, with all boldness and confidence, how very solid the foundation of my education is built upon.

At the end of the day, the certificate you hold doesn't really determine how and where you end. . . . . .the Bsc/B.eng only gives you a slight edge over the next man, a possible early start - but it doesn't guarantee you that the next man isn't going to overtake you at a latter stage.

Very well said.

@ OP,

What I can tell you is that even though a Yabatech certificate may carry some weight, whatever weight it carries will be inferior to the weight an OAU certificate will carry.

Secondly, even though some will tell you that: "although HND certificates face some discrimination, a Yabatech one faces less or even none". An OAU certificate completely eliminates the word discrimination in the job market, that one is not an if or maybe. With even that OAU certificate, you will still be well positioned to compete with some people with foreign degrees just based on your local context knowledge.

Finally, remember that with your OND, you already have a right to Yabatech on your CV, why not get the OAU tag as well. It will show you are skilled technically and theoretically. [Put that last sentence on your CV or use it at interviews, don't say Sagamite never helped you]

I wonder what our females will say if a man after 8 years of marriage and 3 kids says he wants a divorce just because his wife likes to party. Worse still, lets say this was a woman that stood by him in hard times just like Seal stayed by her when she was pregnant for someone else.

They probably would have used enough fierce expletives that Google will have to tell Seun to ban more words.

why after 7 pages of this thread is nobody able to offer answers to the questions?

Without answers to these questions, then there is no reason to believe Abacha actually looted.

Wen u leave ur comfort zone and d culture u re use to and want to live like d JONESES, der will b problem. Let Seal come back home and marry were d women obsorbs all d M.E.S.S from our men

You are a cretin!

These are the kind of fooooooooooools I keep on referring to in Nigeria.

No 1, so there have not been successful marriages between people of different cultures.

No 2, MOORON, what is Seal's culture? Someone that grew up in the UK is the one you are telling to come back "home" to marry a woman.

Bloody ediot! And you will see this kind of cretin moaning I have a degree but I can't have a job.

If you have a degree, rip your degree, buffoon!

GenBuhari:
wrong!

You posted all your questions because you got . . . .

Hope they had a prenup, because if not, California marriage laws ensure the wife gets half of everything.

You must be having a laugh.

She is the one that needs to be worried, I am sure she is worth and makes far more than him.

MsDarkSkin:
SAGAMITE!!  

NOT COOL BRO!  

I don't believe a man should go all out trying to satisfy a woman. Women generally don't know what they want because it changes frequently and a lot of it is not rational. Worse still, they tend to take guys that try all that effort to satisfy them for granted or, even worse, as a wuss.

The odds of it working is absolutely negligible. I have never seen it work.

I believe in being a man. A man will do his rational best to be a good partner but the only way a woman can be fully satisfied is by working on her own rational development.

I will always be a nice, objective, rational person. If she is not happy with that and thinks I should spend my life worshiping her, she would soon know her way to the door leading out of the relationship.

denzel2009:
You can't tell me it's impossible to have a blissful marital life. You can actually satisfy a level headed woman!

It is possible but it will take a lot of work on both sides. For the women, rational development will be one of the core.

Unfortunately, it is the not-so-great looking ones that usually end up developing it. Most of the fine ones have their head up their arse.

denzel2009:
Most of the unions don't make sense from the outset. I'm quite surprised at this one though cos Seal made the effort to make it last. But, how can a sane person get married to Russell Brand? Why would someone marry Kim Kardashian?

If you ever think you can satisfy a woman by your efforts, you better think again.

As per the annual vow renewal, what a silly ritual. Yet some would delude themselves that it is romantic.

pendo89:
lol ok. That's new, the Ghanian and the nigerian body language.Still cant differentiate.


But you sound really angry with ur country men.Nigerians are some of the most educated people in Africa you know. Majority dont settle for degrees.

There are obviously good aspects of Nigerians but that is not a stamp of approval. We are nowhere near our potential and a large proportion is due to internal qualities and values. It starts with each individual and the way they contribute ESPECIALLY the ones supposedly enlightened as they are suppose to be the light for the others. So many people with degrees that talk utter nonsense like pure foooools! Very few are even worth it and those are the naturally gifted ones.

The Nigerian mentality is fcked!

Usually in business/work management, the businesses are substandard but yet the owners want to drive a Hummer tomorrow.

An even when standard, they will charge and am and a leg.

You yourself tell me about the Nigerian businesses and restaurants in your hood. Do you see them improving and creating a great image?

I once saw a white expatriate that lives in Nigeria stated his amusement about why Nigerians are so proud of Nigeria. He listed the total number of substandard things in Nigeria (especially the chaos) and compared it with other African and Asian third world countries he had lived in, not even developed countries.

He said, to him, the pride is like taking a shyt and looking back at it in extreme admiration.

pendo89:
ok. Funny thing is I cant pick out a nigerian from a crowd of ghanians till he/she speaks.
Big voice u guys have.
Tribe is something all africans take pride in but it becomes useless the moment one steps out of their country and begin interacting and appreciating other's diverse backgrounds and culture. Or when you realise nobody knows/cares about your tribe beyond your borders.

But am sure ur judgement is based on a small minority on this forum and not the 150 mill. pop.

Even an European told me he knows the difference between a Nigerian and a Ghanaian just based on their body language and the way they talk.

As par tribe, you see some useless failures in Nigeria pointing out what one person from their tribe did and thinks that makes them a superior human.

I am talking about majority of the so-called "enlightened". Bloody foools. The fact there is that majority of the 150m are not in a position to be developed so we should not even go into their weaknesses. I am focusing on those that should know better and actually think they do.

sinistyle:
Why should Keshi be allowed to analyze for Super Sport? We are supposed to be sober from missing AFCON and Keshi going on to do punditry work for Super Sport will only go on to portray us as unserious or how else do you think we'd be seen by the rest of the world when our chief coach is seen analyzing on TV?

This is the same Keshi that has waxed lyrical about incorporating home based players into the eagles set up and I've heard that the league is resuming next month. A serious Keshi should be busy scouting talents across the country. Infact, Keshi is unserious.

You are a cretin!

How will Keshi going to do commentary translate to us being unserious?

Is there any activity that SE would be taking during ANC when they did not qualify for it that Keshi needs to be focusing on? FOOOOL!

Cretin! What makes you think Keshi does not have assistants responsible for scouting? If the league begins next month how does it affect Keshi going to the ANC this month?

Product of a failed education system.

chux76:
Nigerians and envy bitching, God has blessed the young man and instead of celebrating with him as a Nigerian,we are posting all sorts of nonsense about his age and stuff, which clearly shows they are jealous.
Listen,  2 all d age mongers if e dey pain una make una go use una blokos do ritual, 
Dtas why so many youths find themselves stagnant in life without making any meaningful progress,not knowing that they are the cause of their misfortunes and instead they blame it on others, Go get a Life Success Barriers
Rabiu, God be with you

talknafree:
This is why Africans and Nigerians in particular hadly progress. The level of envy is killing by each passing day.

You never even know who is truly going to be happy on your success story. From Family members, friends, colleagues, business associates, neighbors and even acquitance, the story is the same.

The day people start realizing that when they start being happy and stop being envious at people's successes that when God begins to do Wonders in their lives.

A man who isn't happy seeing others progress should never expect to progress too.

Cut the moronic BS!

The most likely primary reason for people mentioning his age is not because they are jealous, but because like many so-called Nigerian "young" promising players, he has disappointed the people by not progressing in anyway. He has actually declined. This lying has affected our football as intellectual Gods like myself warned for years. We have not qualified for a ANC and have not qualified for Olympics. Now Sudan coming to play in Nigeria gives us fear in the belly. Now every Tom, D[i]i[/i]ck and Kunle is now seeing the impact and now wants to shout about age-cheating I have been shouting about for years.

So we are paying for the days Nigerian moorons used to praise, in euphoric joy, age cheats like Macauley Chrisantus. Like Rabiu, where is he now? Is he the next Ronaldo or Kluivert?

The moorons used to called their support of age cheating "patriotism"!

cashmentor:
Good move. Pray he stays for real this time around,  Age cheating ain't treating this dude friendly!

I don't know who Onila is. First time I will ever see the handle on NL.

@ OP,

Congrats, girl. And you seem to have a nice attitude as well. Don't change that, continue being a nice person with class. Don't listen to the rubbish advice people like tpia are giving you.

Let the other females continue hating. We need more girls like you in Nigeria.

pendo89:
mind describing a nigerian to me please ?

Loud and boisterous with "I no go carry last" mentality and takes pride in relative achievements (e.g. my tribe) rather than personal achievements. Worse still they are lazy buggers with "I don try mentality" to any activities they undertake rather than "This is the best possible" mentality.

The loud and boisterous is not necessarily a bad thing except when you are absolutely ignorant, throw conjectures as fact, never bother to find the data/observations to back your "sabi" but yet will put up a defensive wall when corrected.

24 hours has passed.

Boko Haram's Sokoto has not been caught.

IGP has not been sacked.

Jonathan continues to prove he is a foool with the IQ of a Silverback Gorilla.




Now the quack fool that is the IGP has offered N50m for any report that leads to the arrest of the suspect.

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/igp-ringim-fights-back-declares-sokoto-wanted/107537/

Here him: anyone with information should "“please report to the nearest Police Station nationwide"

PROPER CRETINOUS QUACK!

FOOLISH MOORON as our IGP.

So there is no dedicated line?

People should go to the nearest police station?

So if the person goes to a police station where some of the officers are compromised, that is how the person would get killed for trying to help and locate a terrorist?

They could not set up a dedicated team of trust-able officers? They want to put people at risk of hit and miss?

These are the foools ruling Nigeria?

I hate the ignorance displayed by many Africans.East knows nothing about West,West knows nothing about East and South doesn't give a damn about Central or North and we dont care to know. Most Africans know more about the West than Africa itself.
We end up becoming delusional in the process.
SA is the gateway to Africa. But they got their own issues as well. Reminds me of the BRIC and BRICS debate.

If your style works for you fine and good. It takes a citizen to understand his own countrymen and communicate in a language they understand.
Ok cheers. I am on NL to learn about the west.

The way I communicate on NL with Nigerians is not the same way I will communicate with Ghanaians or Zimbabweans.

I know what works for "Na me sabi" but yet immensely ignorant Nigerians.

pendo89:
Noted.
Whatever the case patriotism is not agreeing with delusions. I believe positive critism is a great sign of patriotism.

There are different tactics for addressing people to effect change.

At the level of delusion some Nigerians are at the moment, ridicule is the best approach to let them see the rot they are in.

Too many years of brainwashing with that useless term of "Giant of Africa", when you can get a better life in more than one third of other African countries. Nigerians still go about beating their chest like if they are above others and majority are hardly doing anything collectively or individually to make themselves stand out. No wonder we have the hogwash in quality in most things Nigerian. Graduates writing on forums in textspeak.

Ridiculing to subdue unwarranted and delusional bravado is my own contribution to patriotism.

pendo89:
You from SA or Nigeria?

The country with the highest score in each of the below pillars is the strongest economy. And under each pillar there's quality,access,impact,flexibility,strengths,reliability, efficiency,procedures,dominance,rights, etc etc.


Institutions
Infrastructure
Macro economic environment
Health and Primary education
Higher education and training
Goods market efficiency
Labour market efficiency
Financial market development
Technological readiness
Market size
Business sophistication
Innovation.


SA ranks 34 when it comes to ease of doing biz.

I am from Senseland!

I don't do stewpid, delusional patriotism. I just practice sense, sense, sense, sense. Morning till night. For breakfast, for lunch and for dinner.

pendo89:
The Pillars used to gauge a country's global competitiveness determine the one with the strongest economy.
Its not only based on GDP.

Sub Saharan Africa= SA

I have corrected your statement. 

I specify:

GDP is the largest.

Economy is one of the most diverse.

Population size is one of the largest 6.

GDP per capita is one of the highest.

Ease of doing business is one of the best.

Infrastructure is top-notch.

Education system is one of the best in the world.

Nigeria: Giant of Africa Delusion.

GEJ is surrounde by his enemies. The police has been compromised. He should create state police, purge the police of incompetent and SSCE cops then employ graduates with good salary into the police and lets see what changes we can get.

You have to know about movies.

The biggest contributors to the bad image of Islam are the vast majority of Muslims themselves.

More prominently, cretins like LagosShia and Sweetnecta. They have ruined the image of the religion.
