Education › Re: LASU, UNILAG, OAU… JAMB Names 10 Most Preferred Universities For 2026 (See List) by Saladdin: 3:18pm On May 12
Digmygold:
Go to LASU and do your research. To get admitted into LASU IS no joke. Many of the students admitted into competitive courses scored 300 and above. LASU has prestige. Stop living in the past. Levels don change.
Hmmm...I just asked a simple question and you immediately put up a defensive posture. I never said that the university has low/no prestige. I totally have no misgivings about LASU. Not at all. What got my attention was when he made that bold claim that LASU has what NO federal and uni in Nigeria possess. When I asked what's that, did you saw any reply from him?

I simply asked that what set it uniquely apart from tier 1 unis in Nigeria and the guy refused to give any single reason.

For instance, if someone asks an UI, UNN or ABU student or alumni, what's sets the uni apart, they'll start giving you many features and USPs (true or not) right off the bat without telling me to go on a a 60-days data gathering exercise inside the campus to get those features.

That's the premise of my question, just one USP and not him making indefensible claims and fleeing when questioned.

The implosion of federal institutions in Ilorin is a matter of time, definitely inevitable unless the correct the observation you raised above.
UNILORIN and UITH especially are experiencing it already. They have almost grounded UITH.

Institutions where merit is sacrificed for nepotism can never develop. Any developed and efficient system anywhere in the world today is being maintained mostly by competent "outsiders" and the host communities remain the highest gainers.

Prof Oloyede, an Ogun man, took UNILORIN from the days where no one wanted them. The days when they beg people with admissions and projected it to be mentioned with A list schools.
The school is witnessing gradual decline rn
You're spot on. Its just annoying to see the level of intra-tribalism going on. The school has good faculty and facilities no doubt, but till it eschews that nonsense, they'll continue to struggle. Sadly, they're rubbing that nonsense on KWASU too.

KWASU was styled and operated like a typical North American University, the first VC really tried and he was a topdog from a Canadian Institution. The type of department, GPA system, Naming System, Lecturing System etc in KWASU used to be very similar to Canadian Federal Schools. It even used to have few faculties from the US/Canada. But when they infused that nonsense "omo Ilorin" bullshit, those great things have rapidly declined now.

So sad that both schools used to be the fastest government institutions in Nigeria and immune of strike. But it's another case now.

Well insecurity but University of Ilorin is losing it due to Ilorinalization,good courses are for Ilorin indigene not even Kwara indigene not to talk of other states.
ASUU and intra-tribal discrimination is what is causing that. It's just sad. The same thing is begining to affect KWASU too. The latter used to the be fastest government school in Nigeria and immune to strike. I don't know of now sha.

For distance learning and postgraduate education, ABU seems to have perfected it, and it's one of the top schools in Nigeria/West Africa when it comes to this system. In few years time, it'll be very obvious.

What we offer federal universities cannot offer them.
Good to know. Now kindly enlighten us on the unique programs/activities/propositions that they offer, and is not offered or largely absent from Federal Universities in Nigeria?

Thanks.

You seems to be a weak person.

You give your attention out easily to people who are meant to be ignored like they do not exist.

30 Million Naira will sort you out to a good country in europe legally if your country of interest accept your application.

Don't let those who haven't be beyond ojuelegba to discourage your plans.
Please educate us on which "good country in Europe" will he thrive, not survive in 2026. Someone who we assume does not have any basic knowledge of German, French, Italian etc.

Then we also assume no international qualification nor advanced skill. Please tell us. Thanks.

Emeskhalifa:
So 30m can't get someone to saner clime? I have seen those with less than that moved to sane countries and after some few years of trying to find their feet, today they are doing well.
In 2018-2021, that money is much more than enough to take you and your wife and a child out of the country.

But which "same clime" do you want to go in 2026 with that amount? No doubt it's a decent amount of money, but if it's the English-speaking part of the West (e.g UK, USA, Canada, Australia etc) and you want to go through study route, PoF, Tuition (part payment) and flight cost will finish that money. For you ALONE o.

You might have a good chance in non-English speaking countries, but are you prepared to learn either, German, French, Spanish or Portuguese? If no, just cancel it so you don't struggle to survive there.

The Nordic countries (Finland, Norway, Sweden etc) are a no-go area as it is currently. They are rich, yes, but a heavy welfare state. In essence if you're not a citizen, their "riches no go touch you". You will so struggle there, because no small gig jobs (even cleaning job, you'll sweat to get it) for immigrants plus you have no knowledge of any of the Scandinavian languages.

You'd have make good money in the GCC countries in the Middle East, but are you in the energy, education or medical sector? Also how good are your credentials? In addition, be prepared to come back home even if you spend 20 years because your chances of permanent residency is very slim.

Hope you know that work visa is extremely difficult now and anti-immigration is rising again?

So I ask again which "sane clime" do you want to go in 2026?

Romance › Re: Introduction Is Not Marriage: It Is Just A Declaration Of Intention by Saladdin: 1:30pm On May 06
Love800:
Is it introduction that is usually called traditional marriage?
No, it's not. Introduction is original meant to be a small get together where the families of the prospective spouses will know each other and the family of the groom will state their intent.

Traditional marriage is usually when the couples decide to marry in their local style and fulfill with most cultural elements (gifts, foodstuff etc.) being exchanged.

Why I decided to vent is when you see couples doing:

i. Introduction Ceremony (with cakes and co )
ii. Traditional Wedding Ceremony (Some still do most of what was done in the introduction)
iii. Formal Wedding Ceremony (Couple be Islamic Nikkah or Church Wedding depending on their faith)
iv. Reception
v. After-party
Etc.

It's just unnecessary complications.

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh.

Many of you still do not get it how these things work. If you do introduction, you are already married! Both of you are already entangled.

Introduction is even the most important as it officially commences the exchange of vow rites before God, your parents, families, man and the law. If that is not marriage, what then is it?

Don't get entangled at all till the introduction level. If you have strong doubts about the union, cut him or her off before introduction!
It is already too late after introduction because you are already married to the person.
I beg to slightly differ. Introduction is the first step towards marriage not the major step. As long as there's no weeding ceremony, Introduction is still what it is, Introduction. I dislike seeing people spend so much on Introduction, whereby they can just host the wedding and call it a day. Why do people needlessly complicate their lives?

It's better to do a very small introduction ceremony instead of spending huge amount of money on it, whereas it can fund a decent wedding ceremony which will make you HUSBAND AND WIFE.

Without a marriage ceremony, no matter how small, both of them are not married.

I'm glad that many are rapidly embracing cats as a major pet. Whoever want to keep being backward should remain so.

Victor @The Victor Oye, what a lovely set of cats you've got cheesy cheesy If you have the time, resources and patience to keep them, be ready for tireless entertainment for the next few months. cheesy

I'd advice that you keep them and scout for responsible potential owners who'd come pick them up in the next 2-3months. Also, keep one of the kittens for yourself o cheesy

Thanks for being a responsible person who does not see every single animal as food or "village people".

You don't need to point one finger at me, while pointing four at yourself. The OK Movement alone cannot coast to victory without the structure and support of Atiku, El-Rufai and the rest.

Bulk of Nigerians today are tired of the current government, but if you play politics of Emotion instead of logic and compromise, 2023 result is what you'll get.

SW enjoyed VP for 8 years, now enjoying the presidency and if Tinubu or Atiku wins they'll still be either No 1&2 most powerful position in Nigeria. Where does that leave the OK Movement? Zero.

Romance › Re: My Ex Is Not My Enemy — Lady Attends Her Ex-Boyfriend's Wedding by Saladdin:
I believe people calling this "maturity" are just being sarcastic. This speaks a lot about the respect she accords herself and the value she placed on the man she's with. Practically no self respecting woman should do this. I'm not someone to judge anybody by their looks, but the vibe she's exuding from her appearance says a lot. I wonder if their brain is positioned180° south of how it's supposed to be positioned.

Some even still have that disgusting practice of keeping contacts of their exes (like this one) and still following them on social media. Like what do you still want? Any self respecting man who sees that cannot take you serious. He'll "enjoy" himself and ditch you for another lady capable of loyalty and actual maturity.

Man or woman, please STOP contacting your exes nor keeping their contacts (except for rare reasons which is the exception), you position yourself as a disloyal person.

So if she's already married, she'll still attend the wedding? Then we wonder why adultery is common and marriages are hitting the rocks.

Namaster:
I DISAGREE with the last part of this post.
There has NEVER been a better time for divorce than right now.

The PDFile has THREATENED to pull the US out of various agreements and arrangements with Europe.

The ONLY reason he hasn't is because Europe has undertaken an ENDLESS campaign of PDFile-PACIFICATION.

All they have to do is STOP.
The PDFile will handle the rest.

For instance, the ridiculous SANCTIONS you mentioned are being ENFORCED by Europe themselves.

Imagine SANCTIONING ICC Judges for doing their JOBS.

All Europeans banks have to do is PULL OUT of the US Banking Infrastructure.

DEVELOP theirs or temporarily port to an ALTERNATIVE.

Their economies may SUFFER but so will the US's .

America has POWER over Europe because Europe ALLOWS it.

Countries in Europe should STOP acting alone.
They NEED a unity of direction.

Letting a PDFile attack one of their countries or leaders is INSANE.

Their continuous rotation at the White House is DISGRACEFUL.

Europe is NOT like other continents that are DEFENSELESS against American aggression.

Their helplessness is SELF-IMPOSED.

They are CLINGING desperately to a system that the PDFile is intent on BURNING to the ground.

Imagine ENFORCING sanctions on Judges who did EXACTLY what they were supposed just because the PDFile didn't like it.

MADNESS!
While I agree with you to large extent. But the issue is that the Whites see Europe and America as one. On the surface, it might look like there is intense fighting among, but deep within their circles, they speak and act as one, and also obey the same master.

Non-white should not make the mistake of thinking they are truly separate entities. Technically UK still "owns" Canada and Australia. Because should they need to invade any country in real-time, they'll keep all their differences aside and act as one. Türkiye and India, two countries with snake-faced leaders are already learning.

Bro, I mean no harm but that comment was unnecessary. NOBODY (except maybe Okey and co) here supports the government's lukewarm attitude to insecurity. But what I'm sure of is nearly EVERYBODY here regardless of tribe or religion supports anything and everything to end insecurity.

Did you saw that show of shame that happened in Lagos few days ago? People were openly robbed for 1hr+ in West Africa's most cosmopolitan city without any security intervention. If anybody was kidnapped would we say it's their fault?

Half of the country has capitulated but the buffoons in Abuja are only concerned about 2027 which nobody is sure of witnessing.
