This is a girl I signed for tailoring work, her attitude towards me this year changed drastically because of hard times am going through. I have seen her at the far end of my street standing with boys of same age with her holding her anyhow in the waist and every time I caution her that she's no longer a small girl but a woman.

I thought maybe she will grow up, but since on Sunday afternoon she left for her mother's place, she was supposed to come back in the evening, I waited till on Monday morning I couldn't call her because the last time I bought phone for her, she lied she lost it, I later found out that she gave it to one guy who is a Yahoo boy, it nearly caused a big issue that the community chairman had to be involved to settle the whole matter and the money of the phone was paid back to me.

I had to go to her mother place only to see my daughter there and she wasn't in sight. Though her mom was trying to hide it from me but I know what's going on, this isn't the first time she's done something like this

I Just left there this evening, all her mother was saying is I should take it easy.

I didn't beat her

We didn't quarrel, she just left on Sunday afternoon to drop my 3 year daughter at her mothers place.

I'm ashamed of the whole thing, everyone in my compound keeps asking me of her whereabouts, til it has gotten to the far end of our street.

I can't even come out in peace, if I do they must be one person to ask me what happened just to find my mouth, and the shame of explaining everything to them of her she dumped my daughter since on sunday is not easy.

Note: please those Ladies thinking I toke advantage of her, I didn't.
I'm a very educated individual, I did introductions with her parents before she came to live with me.
Then her dowry was paid.
It was my choice, every man dreams to get married to a tear rubber. If I want to remake that choice I probably do it again, this was never to discourage those who wants a young wife.

Don't look for job, create job and jobs will come looking for you begging you with their hard earned money.

Not a motivational speaker but if you add a little twerking to that small overlooked business of yours you will smile to the bank daily.

Zobo is not bad but some pure tiger nut and soy milk drink in Port Harcourt usually do better, not just as a seller but a BUSINESS OWNER.

Good luck!

Good day my fellow nairalanders.

I just concluded my utme exams, but I am still confused on what part to take. So lately I decided to choose nursing science. But the truth is I don't really know if it will be favourable with respect to my gender....I am a Male. Though I do see male nurses in schools but rarely see them in places of work like hospital....etc.

My questions are;
1. As a male is there anything wrong in being a Nurse?
2. What are the pros and cons in being a male nurse
3. In Nigeria are Nurses valued.... maybe in terms of payment and otherwise.
4. If you are a male Nurse....what would be your advice to an aspirant.
5. Is Nigeria the best place to practice nursing or japa would be better. Talking about japa...US or UK?

Pls if you are a male nurse you can share your advice and experiences they are highly appreciated and valued.
Shalom.

IBOM3000 PROJECT, 2021 Trainees in Akwa Ibom State lament over being deceived to shut down businesses, abandon their academic pursuit for an empowerment training organized by Akwa Ibom State Ministry of Trade and Investment, Uyo....

1000 Youths drawn from the 31 LGAs of Akwa Ibom were trained on Oil and Gas related Courses, SME, Agriculture and ICT by the State Ministry of Trade and Investment, Uyo. The Ministry of Trade and Investment had promised the trainees Certifications upon completion of the programme, subsequent engagement and business start-up. At the end of the programme, Oil and Gas trainees were relocated from the Training Camp at Godswill Akpabio Oil and Gas Training Centre, Nya Diong in Mkpat Enin LGA and dumped at the State Secretariat Complex Uyo without transportation to return to their various LGAs.

After series of request by the trainees to be certified and engaged, the former Commissioner of the Ministry, Barr. Prince Akpabio set up a Graduation Planning Committee headed by Mr. Ibanga Essien, and graduation date fixed for 8th April 2022 at Ibom Hall, Uyo by 10am. On the said graduation day, Trainees turned up with friends and families to share in their joy only to meet the gate of the venue locked. They were duly informed by the security personnel on duty that there was no information of such from their head. Angered by the unfortunate information, trainees matched to the Ministry of Trade and Investment Building located at the Idongesit Nkanga Secretariat, IBB Avenue and met with the new Commissioner, Engr. Camillus Essien Umoh who apologized for the misinformation and promised to give a new date on or before 20th April 2022 but hitherto no information has come from the Ministry. All efforts to reach the Commissioner prove abortive, the Permanent Secretary and the Chairman Planning Committee have also refused to respond on the way forward instead they gave restricting orders and telling the trainees through their office assistants that they are not on seat. They don't reply messages neither return their calls.

We hereby request the Commissioner of Trade and Investment Uyo, Engr. Camillus Essien Umoh to issue our Certificates, Engage and Empower us as promised.

It is worthy of note that many had closed their businesses, missed academic activities, lost their jobs (as the result) to attend the programme only to be dumped at the end. The youth of Akwa Ibom State do not deserve this type of maltreatment from the government they support passionately. Hence, we appeal to the State Government to consider the position of its integrity and do the needful so as to restore the image of a PROMISE KEEPER of His Excellency.

Bobloco:
After hiding under the shadows of his votaries, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo took off his veil. On the ordinary level, it was the unveiling of his ambition for the number one post. But for others, including this essayist, he did not just unfurl a dream. He cracked the calabash.

He was, by that singular act, challenging his mentor to a duel.


For some of us who did not believe it was true, the announcement was a theatre as a giddy act because it began as a furtive play. His ambition, that is. Then he decided to hit the jugular. He said it in no unshaken terms.

But he knew Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was running when he declared. He knew Asiwaju was interested when he was a commissioner under him. He knew Asiwaju Tinubu was interested when he nominated him – Osinbajo – for vice president. Never mind the mendacities Osinbajo – the man of God – has allowed to fester that Tinubu did not nominate him. I don’t know if Osinbajo can, as a man of God, go to the pulpit and, in the words of the Psalmist, “swear (it) to his own hurt and change not.”


So, in the sphere of knowledge, he knew that Tinubu was eyeing the post, and intended to run once Buhari’s time had run its course. That explains why he did not say it out loud. No doubt, he had a right to any position as a citizen of the republic. But there is right and there is decency.

If he intended to run, why did he not go to his leader and say, “I know you want this position. But, you see, I have been where you put me in the past six or seven years, and I want it. I know it’s your dream. I have seen some things, eaten some things, touched some things and done some things and I believe I should give it a shot.”

But rather than avail himself the class and panache of this dialogue, he amassed his team, and they pointed the pistol.

Poor indeed that they started challenging Tinubu’s supporters in public spaces, leading to turf wars. In all these, he kept a silence. A silence that was full of bows and arrows. It was the way of the coward.

But the first narrative he encouraged was that he did not come out of Tinubu’s benevolence. If he did, why would he hold on to a ballast of an independent man? So, he let the lie to bloat that Tinubu had no hand in making him vice president. Bisi Akande, the elder who had words of praise for him as brilliant lawyer, also narrated how his journey began to that royal perch. Osinbajo never responded, not a thing. Now, he edits Tinubu out of the story, and says it was Rauf Aregbesola and Ibikunle Amosun, who took him to then candidate Buhari. Who were these two men in the APC top brass in 2014? Aregbesola was Osun governor, and he was influential only because he held Asiwaju’s coattail. Ditto Amosun, who was Buhari’s toady. They were not in the high flame of the politicking. They were followers. So, if they took Osinbajo to Buhari, then someone sent them. In his Participations, Bisi Akande narrated how it happened.

Even Osinbajo’s own account is perfidious. He forgets that he once acknowledged Tinubu when the times were insipid in the past. Fibbing, in this regard, is not Christian. But he has been caught in a lie. Again, the fact that two intermediate party leaders took him to Buhari underwrites Osinbajo’s status and stature then. No one knew him on a national scale. He could not have even run for senate without help, or even house of representatives.

He barnstormed his home state of Ogun recently. He knows he could not have even run for a post then without help from Lagos. He was no factor even in his home state when he was executing Tinubu’s audacious vision for justice in Lagos. Now, he acts as though he is the legitimacy of Ogun State. With his relative obscurity, he knows he was no factor in 2014, and today he is vice president. He has forgotten his obscurity, and he thinks that it is convenient to forget Tinubu so he can assert his own ambition. Hence the narrative of ingratitude.


He did or could not confront Tinubu with his ambition because he did not have the courage to do it. He is battling with what historians and psychologists have designated as the fear of gratitude. It means I can’t acknowledge those who made me a success because it will diminish my stature and accomplishments. Since ancient times, especially in Rome, according to Edward Gibbon’s classic, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. A certain emperor killed all those who knew him when he was a slave. The historian and philosopher Tacitus wrote: “Men are more ready to repay an injury than a benefit because gratitude is a burden and revenge a pleasure.”

It is narratives like this that are yoking him to the Akintola saga in the First Republic. In spite of revisionists, Akintola remains a Yoruba quisling. He was first a hypocrite before he became a traitor. He wanted to play incorruptible by arguing with Awo about party members’ role and activities in government as though he did not know before he became premier. It is that hypocrisy that bound him with enemies outside who pissed inside the house.

In obvious reaction to my last week’s parable, the vice president said it would be a betrayal for him not to run for office. You betray anyone with whom you have a pact, either moral or legal. Does he have a pact with Nigeria that once you serve as assistant to the president you must serve as president. He spoke it with an air of inevitability. No one has a pact to run for president. A right? Yes. A pact? Nada.

He owes loyalty to where he comes from, not where he wants to go. And when he became vice president, he even discharged, as a task, a vision that Tinubu suggested to the administration, especially school feeding. Tinubu’s idea: I hope they won’t dispute that either. The job was taken out of his ken and given to a new minister who is yet to explain to the public and the children how two billion Naira was spent to feed kids who were at home during Covid lockdown. The idea came out of Tinubu’s cook book, but the chef failed the palate. So, for a man who says he will continue Buhari’s legacy (still a question mark), he could not even execute Tinubu’s idea, just a little of his vast array of vision.

By elevating to Nigeria above a group, he was guilty of Samuel Johnson’s words: “Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.” Every rise in politics begins from a cell. To move on, you have to always negotiate with that cell or you sell out. In Greek mythology, dramatized by playwright Euripides, a man sacrifices his daughter Iphigenia for country. But his heart is not in the right place. A wasted tragedy.

Osinbajo’s assertion that he owes no one any debt reminds me of Buhari’s inaugural speech in which he said, “I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody.” That never happens in politics anywhere. It was even plagiarised. An old man, the greatest French man in the 20th century Charles de Gaulle. He uttered it in May 1958. Neither Buhari nor his speechwriter has said sorry to that French man’s grave. It was intellectual corruption. In using the phrase that he owes no one any debt, he was battling with his conscience. Some are asking, if he could do this to the man who helped him, who else can he not do this to? They might see him as a “Man dressed in a little brief authority,” as Shakespeare says.

He probably ate a forbidden fruit. Maybe he gobbled the king’s meat, and how palatable it was. Daniel in the Bible rejected the king’s meat. He thought it would defile him. But Osinbajo might like the morsel. In A Man of the people, a novel about politics of this sort, Chinua Achebe asks impishly, who will spit out a morsel of meat that good fortune put in his mouth? Achebe knew, like Daniel, that it is an unclean thing. Maybe it is that gastronomic temptation that is troubling our vice president.
