CelebritiesImagine Illiterate Nigerians Calling Rick Ross A Dunce. by Serendipity(op):
I was appaled by a the contumelies that Rick Ross was inundated with simply because of his tweet
'' just landed in the beautiful country of Africa'' which these incurious and ignorant Nigerians misapprehended to mean that the rapper skived off his Geography classes hence didn't know that 'Africa is not a country but continent.
========

The question is, Can any sapient and sagacious fellow make this inference? Isn't it understandable to say such thing as he did.
To me the conclusion that he is oblivious of the fact that 'Africa' is not a country AND that he wanted to say '' he just landed in Nigeria'' is out of place. Of course given the place of Nigeria in Africa and having been here several times, he should know better. And the possibility of the two confusing him is infinitesimal.
In effect, what the rapper said is apt, congruous and non-aberrant.
==========

I think those that started making the contumelious and derogatory remarks against Rick Ross are the ones illiterate.

==========
Again, Nigerians are so insecure that they can view any comment that is prima facie innocuos as disparaging.

Let them apologise to the rapper.

women can be contumacious, unregenerate and incorrigible.
So, after the ''the cynthia Osokogu's saga'' you still had the temerity to go and visit a virtual friend and an E-quaintance at a hotel room knowing full well that you are the weaker sex?
RomanceRe: Why Do Ladies Like Friends So Much by Serendipity: 1:13pm On Jun 25, 2013
I twig that you mean female friends.
To me, it may be because it gives them sense of belonging.
Again, most of them have self esteem issues, are insecure and over sensitive to the extent that when they walk alone on the street they feel that people are giggling and laughing at them and might feel ashamed; but when they are with their friends they reverse will be the case in such occasion. That may also be the reason why they fiddle and play with their phones a lot (usually sliding of pictures).

I wont cause kerfuffle but will just leave and never talk about it.
This approach can can put any being in the cauldron of guilt. It can also change them as love conquers all things.
At any rate, there is now an irredeemable damage to trust.

Again, this girl while in uni may have many admirers that she will keep simultaneously with you , some for taking out, some as a apare tyre, some for recharge cards etc.
RomanceRe: We Hav Been In Lov For A Year, Now She's Gaining Admision by Serendipity: 7:50am On May 11, 2013
Sponsoring a girl in the university with the intention of marrying her may be your greatest undoing.
I can only train any girl that is not my wife in the uni just as a human being that needs help and not as my wife to be. Why?
Chances are that she might go there, maybe in her studentship meet another person that she thinks is better than you in any facet.
============
So any girl I will train in the uni will be free to choose whomever she likes, while I will also on my own be looking for other prospective mates.
If ultimately after studies she still finds me desirable then so be it. Otherwise, she and I will part ways.
========
At bottom, I will train with no conditions attached as I would want one to marry me simply out of pity OR because she feels indebted to me because I sponsored her in school.
========
It's unfortunate that marriage now is more like a busineess and like politics, is all about what one can gain. That's why a girl can dump a pauper for a richer guy and a guy too can dump a girl because of other things she found in another woman.
======
At any rate, such arrangements hve worked for some just few people.
==========
Let me stress, that anybody that doesn't believe in something ---- GOd, Karma etc may not stick with you in time of distress.
Cheers.

KingMEXX: being brainy doesnt guaranty success in Jamb, that is an obvious truth every student would attest to. So cool down a bit and look deep into the student's 177 score, he/she may have made mistakes during the exam. It depends on how the student prepared for the exam although Jamb's scoring system can also be questioned here.
It constitutes at least 70 percent of it.
EducationRe: These Jamb Results Are Not The Reflections Of Students' Performance. by Serendipity(op): 6:32am On May 07, 2013
KingMEXX: I wrote Jamb 2yrs ago and I must confess that the questions were alot tougher than what yu get these days. The results then were not as bad as what we saw today.
If you compare the statistics of 2011 and 2012 or even this year, you would notice that there is a sharp growth in the number of failures. Every event that occurs naturally in life does so through a progression or stages and so, when there is a sharp decline it indicates that there is a factor causing the sharp decline. Now relating this instance to Jamb, one would notice a SHARP decline in performance between 2011 and 2013. The disparity in d statistics is quite much for just a gap of two years which would leave the average youth questioning Jamb's credibility.

I also blame the students for the poor performance, how can you tell me you didnt shade your paper type when it was explained in the instruction. Its not even a new trick, so didnt you revise with previous question papers?? I felt like slapping the girl that gave me that as her excuse for failing. That singular act alone shows the student was never ready for the exam. And also, students dont read again and are always depending on 'expos' which anyone can seat at his parlour and formulate doesnt bring good fortune, one should know. Students hardly engage in intensive study for this exam due to the availability of the 'a,b,c' expos. I dont obviously see why a student should fail an exam he/she took upto 6months to prepare. Bottomline is that the Nigerian student needs to benddown and read more because we are the future of tomorrowing and with the eroded ways people think these days, we are in a big mess. Jamb has lost its credibility, yes and even its relevance but what other solution can be proferred? Scrapping jamb and making use of only P-UTME? That may be like adding another TCP to an already open wound
Bonzer and bitching...
As per shading the paper type. I know a very pious and brainy lass that obeyed all instructions yet made 177.

avalontony: JAMB JAMB JAMB!!!!!!.....those of u that think that you were no awarded ur correct scores, pls pick the question papers and go over them again. In Jamb questions u have related answers, that if u make a mistake in ur solving u will arrive at an answer which will make u think u got d right answer. Computer hardly make mistakes, dont think black answer sheet has never been graded by computer......they have test runned all this before, its not d first time jamb is conducting exam. I know how it feels to get a low score in jamb............. U can always try again.....this is not the end!!!!
I bet that something is wrong.

My lil sis cried her eyes out yesterday. Despite the fact that she had prepared very well
Maybe JAMB should be scrapped.
My brother, just try and console her. She can go for computer lessons if she hasn't done that yet.
The thing can be insufferable.

EducationThese Jamb Results Are Not The Reflections Of Students' Performance. by Serendipity(op): 9:38am On May 05, 2013
Someone cried out at a Cyber Cafe ''Allow me to die' after all efforts and prayers I put in , Oh! I'm tired''.
These were the lamentations of one braw girl at College Road, Enugu, upon learning that she made 110 in this JAMB exams. She wanted to study Medicine at UNIZIK.

=================
I didn't do JAMB although as a stake holder I have been following the happenings. And I aver authoritatively without pussyfooting that these results are NOT reflections of either the candidates' performance or abilities.
This is dispiriting in view of the fact JAMB exams are now
relatively cheap. In fact it's now a cake walk. (You will attest to this if you see the question papers of recent years).
Whence then came the execrable and demeaning scores? This is further exacerbated by the fact that these vanilla scores are made by brilliant students. A particular lass made A's in WAEC last year only for JAMB to give her 177 this year.
===============
Something must have gone wrong. The possibility of a mismatch in the course of marking cannot be discounted as it is gigantic.

This colossal failure is either an orchestrated plan by JAMB to have them come back next year in which case they will reap undue pecuniary benefits OR is a malicious move to reduce the number of eligible candidates given the deprecation by people of the limited admission spaces especially of the universities.
==================
Granted, many students may have shaded wrongly or used 'sent answers'' but it is suspect to have more than 1.5 million candidates sit exam and only 10 could score 300 and above. This is truer when contrasted with some other years like 2011 where more 3'000 scored 300 and above.
JAMB should be probed.
==================
It's doleful that nothing works in this country and that's why we pray for everything.
=================
The ambitions and lofty dreams of these innocent students are just being truncated and impeded for no just cause.

Ok thank u. It's just that I wouldn't want it to sound like I'm prying into your personal life. But I'm really keen to know what you do or where you work as a lawyer to make such amount. This is in view of the paltry sum lawyers earn averagely.

As a law student, it occasionally worries me that one may soon graduate and still have to face unreasonable hardship----- an unwelcome development given the amount of money and years one puts in for training. At any rate I'm optimistic that things will be better ultimately.

Bigflamie: @frankyskyboi, so one spends a whole lot of dough on girls because its a private university.
I can't remember the last time i heard this kind of joke.
Guy, be smart or you'd be left behind.
I disagree on this. The notion that one can date without spending is specious and quixotic as such can only be seen in alice-in-wonderland world. One can't date seriously without spending. In most cases one shows how much one loves the other especially the fairer sex by buying her some stuffs.
==================================
Imagine dating a girl that has difficulty in paying her fees, say 80, 000. As her boy friend, what will you tell her? At least in that situation' you are expected to do one or two things.
=================================
My friend's girlfriend house got burnt and they lost all apart from the clothes they were wearing when they came back.
Aren't you expected to spend in such a situation? Cases like this can't be exhausted.
==================================
Moreover, the bible says in Ecclesiastes that money answers all things.
=================================
I think the guy should place his priorities well.
At times, it's good to delay gratification.
