The attached picture made my day.

A group of SS2 students in one of the schools I visit to teach Chemistry came excitedly, "Sir, we have produced our own salt. We would not buy salt again in the market."

I taught them in SS1 SEPARATION TECHNIQUES that you can obtain salt (NaCl) by evaporating sea water to dryness.

The students now secretly arranged for one of them to visit Ibeno water and get sample of the seawater which they evaporated to dryness and here comes our locally made salt.

Qualitative Analysis: The salt produced on exposure to air was found to be deliquescent - attracts water from the atmosphere to dissolve itself. It dissolves completely in water. The solution of the salt gave white precipitate when tested with solution of silver nitrate, the precipitate was insoluble in nitric acid (confirmatory test for chlorides)

This indeed is very rewarding as it has been my expectation to help this young minds to begin now to figure out ways of harnessing our natural resources.

While I will continue with the work of purifying the product at my private technical center, I have advised them that the salt need to be purified to remove carbonates and other non-sodium halides etc.

We would in the present state use the salt as preservative for our emulsion paint, we would use it for laboratory test for chlorides and to demonstrate removal of hardness of water (water softening by ion exchange).

My philosophy of high school chemistry is to let them understand the theory, carry out the laboratory practicals, and apply the knowledge to do mini projects.

Thanks so much for your honest reply.
This is the same im been worried about for long. Do you have an idea of how to expose him or find the truth?

Hey. Im a woman, 39 years old and together with a nigerian man living in norway. He moved in with me 1,5 years a go, and we had a baby at the start of our time living together.
I own the apartment, but in norway we have a system that you pay loan and a also a houserent. Outside that we have electricity, tv, warm water. My whole salary is used on living expances and also for the baby. My man doesnt want to pay even if he make money. Only thing he wants to pay is half of the kindergarden. He used a lot on designer clothes for himself when he visited Nigeria. But didnt buy anything for me and our daughter. The familiy in Nigeria didnt give our daughter anything either even if the father is a pastor and looks like they have money. He is looking for a good engineer job, but doesnt have it yet. Still he works a lot and he earns money. Im comfused why he doesnt want to contribute to his familiy in norway, and im tired of fighting about it. Maybe someone from Nigeria can explain. He is very active in church and he is there every weekend. He doesnt do much economically for us, and he has only changed diaper ten Times since she was born. We are not married. I dont know how long this can last. In norway we are used to 50/50 contribution both finalcially and duties.

Hi,

Thank you for making out time to view my thread. I'm hoping I can get an advice from you.

I'm a 26 Years. I work in a company that pays me 85K NGN monthly.

The salary isn't paying my bills in any way, the company isn't productive, I feel stuck and limited each time I go to work. Also, the environment is toxic with gossips, cold wars, etc.

I've been applying for jobs elsewhere but I keep getting rejected. I've adjusted my CV several times but still the same.

I'm considering resigning even though I don't have another job offer yet but I fear my debts. I have some side hustles I use to support my monthly earnings but I fear it may not be enough to pay my debts monthly and fend for myself, siblings, and family generally.

The whole thing is making me lack motivation but I still try to be up for my family.

I want to travel out of the country and search for better opportunities but my resources are limited at the moment.

I have some skillsets, I'm considering venturing into entrepreneurship but I don't have the required capital to get started

I don't know what to do.

Kindly advise me on what to do. I'd appreciate it.

Osibona’s company began its foray into real estate in the United Kingdom before branching out to South Africa and later Nigeria.

In 2009, when Brig-General Buba Marwa (rtd) was the Nigerian High Commissioner in South Africa, Fourscore Homes built six luxury units called Fourscore Mansions in Waterkloof, a very expensive neighbourhood in Pretoria.

Osibona was also the first African developer to develop a seven-storey building in the United Kingdom. The property called Fourscore Mansion is located at 113, Albion Drive London Fields, E8, 4LZ, East London. Not only that, he was the first black developer of African origin to build other projects in the UK. The company’s real estate business started in Hackney, London in 1997.

How come the other buildings in other parts of the world are still standing tall without collapsing ?

A 300level student of Federal College of Education (name withheld) was expelled after Confessing to the school management of using a fake olevel result.
It all happened that members of the Deeper Life Bible Church student fellowship had preached to her to change from her old ways and she accepted to give her life, she decided to confess all her sins to the college provost who happens to be a deeper life campus fellowship director.
After about two weeks, she was summoned to the Disciplinary committee to come and face panel, She was found guilty and was expelled from the college, and her picture was pasted ot the entrance of the school gate.
I felt bad after hearing her story.
What if she had not confess all her sins to the man? That means she could have graduated successfuly without any hindrance.
What's your say and opinion on this?

Meaning Ayo and Olamide are step brothers
Olamide is currently in Canada; can Ayo file Olamide as a sibling in Canada?
Is it permissible?

Unclesmart12:
Good morning FAM, I've been dating my girlfriend for four years now since our 100 level in the university. She has been the perfect partner for me and a really strong backbone that has kept me going in tough times, I've lost count of ladies I've dated but this Lady has got me hooked full time hence the seemingly long duration of our relationship, because before now none of my relationships had exceeded 6 months. I think it's important to note that I'm her first date/relationship too.

Sometimes I feel lucky to have her, she loves and cares for me to bits and I do the same too though it's apparent she loves me more. I've good intentions towards her and sees her as part of my future, I will gladly marry her once I'm lsettled and ready for that but I've one nagging issue with her.

Academically I see myself as an average student on a CGPA of 3.47 according to my 300 level results since I'm yet to see my final year result ( fresh graduate ) though I channelled over 80% of my efforts and time in school to hustling.

My girlfriend on the other hand is on a CGPA of 2.76 which I still consider a reasonable result considering the school we graduated from. She's been hunting for a teaching job since she graduated with little success and frustration is gradually setting in.

She visited me recently and while in my place she got a call from a friend to bring an application letter to a school she's been eyeing for a while now. She drafted a letter and gave me to peruse through it. Going through the letter seriously broke my heart, obviously the reason she hasn't been getting interview invites wasn't far fetched. It was riddled with grammatical errors and blunders, she could hardly string correct sentences together and punctuation was totally MIA talk more of paragraphs. It was a total disaster.

There was no way she was going to get a job with that kind of letter unless maybe through man know man. I took time to teach her on how to write a letter and to be honest it was just like teaching a basic two child how to write a simple formal letter. She couldn't even get simple spellings right, I'm not a genius neither do I see myself as an exceptional student but I really expected more from a graduate. I tried so much to mask my frustration and disappointment so she won't feel bad.

I don't want to judge her but that her performance really left much to be desired and left me upset that I'm beginning to consider my future with her.

I don't know if there's anything I can do to help her because I'm currently learning block chain development and UI/UX designing so I barely have time to spare now.

Please I need your advice on how to handle this situation.

Opeyemic01:
Congratulations you are among the few people who know the date of their death before death actually comes... how can you see death trap and walk into it all because of what people will say?. If you love your life, call your parent and narrate the issue to them, they will arrange a meeting with the man and his family and call off the death trap (marriage) you are about walking into...your family will prefer you single and alive than married but dead. If you marry him and he beats you to death, the next day he will go and Bleep another woman, a month after, another woman will take your place. This is harsh though but pardon me I don't know how to talk

descarado:
She came in under false pretense. That is a very big professional blunder. Her best bet is to look for a higher up somebody who will defend her during hearing when they will sit for her case. If oga at the top says to let her be, she will be.

She just need to convince the person with a good pity tale.

bammo:
Actually, you just made a good comment.. you should read it to yourself.

bammo:
You guys should simply stop it

Buddha3:
It is easier for you to find the momentum to reel out all these questions and bandy these insinuations when the narrative is conveniently not to your discomfort. To say I am shook that a female is even taking a stand as yours, remains an understatement of the decade.

I sincerely pray you never find yourself or any of your loved ones in the center of such a marital conundrum. Maybe then your sensibilities will be fine-tuned enough for you to ask the proper questions and pass adequate submissions.

Buddha3:
When she put up those photos of herself in Dubai flashing those wads of dollar bills, one unfortunate bastard was everywhere on this forum yanning dust about how Maria was rich and had only entered the big brother house to pass time.

Most humans have thrown morality to the doldrums all in a bid to hastily celebrate money and material possessions. We can eagerly sing the boastful ullulation of people's wealth while never minding from whence they achieved. It's abysmally sad!

Look at a first class LovePeddler destabilizing another woman's home just for the material benefit and tomorrow when something untoward happens to her, they'll be everywhere soliciting sympathy from Nigerians. Women will always be the problem of other women!

This sperm donor of a thing is rubbish
Who is the owner of these sperms in the first place
Those kids will ask of their father when they grow up and what will be her explanation?
By the way, that sperm donor might meet any of those kids in the future and decide to marry her unknowing if it's a girl child.
Please let us stop justifying what is not right

JUST WATCH AND SEE

Dilemma00:
Hi guys, I'm in a dilemma right now and since I didn't have anyone to ask or confide in, I had to post this here. I couldn't post this in the job section because my account is new. Kindly read to the end before commenting.

So I just got a job offer from one of the top 3 banks in Nigeria, I've been given documents to print and fill and also given a resumption date. But I'm a bit worried it may end badly. My CV states that I'm single, but I'll be showing up to this job 3 months pregnant. I submitted months notice at my present job because if didn't resign and they found out about my pregnancy, I'd have been fired eventually (missionary org).

My dad coerced me to apply for this banking job last month (I didn't want to because of the pregnancy and single mum tag), but I had to because I didn't want to seem like I was lazy and not making efforts to assist my family (he would have known if I didn't apply), also wasn't hopeful about the job or expecting an offer so I just applied.

So you could imagine my shock when I got a job offer email days ago.

I currently live and work in a different state from my parents so I've not told them about the pregnancy because I'm in a messed up situation. I had the opportunity to abort but my conscience and conviction wouldn't let me, so I insisted on keeping the baby even when my so called boyfriend warned and threatened me to get rid of him/her. Anyway, summary is that he's not going to be part of our lives. Imagine telling my parents this cr@p. That's not the major issue because I know I'd eventually tell me parents.

I'm happy about this job, I'm not worried about my competency as a pregnant lady, I'm good at what I do and I adapt swiftly to any job role no matter the conditions. I'm just worried about how the bank will react. A single and pregnant lady showing up for a new position, the controversy and all that.

Please advise me on what to do from your experience as a bank staff or someone who's witnessed such a situation. Also, do banks have rules concerning things like that?

Thanks.

...and what makes you think if he attended that the moment won't be captured?

Toks2008:
Creating this thread has been on my mind for a long time but for some reasons I kept shelving it but after coming across a thread on front page about a 41 year old single lady asking for advise I think it is about time I drop this.

Now what you are about to read is for ladies who are still single in their late 30s and I will make it as simple and as real as possible...

You will never come across the advise I'm about to give you from pastors or many relationship experts but as many people already know me, I keep it as real as possible.

1. Understand that not everybody will get married:

Marriage is not a do or die thing... Marriage does not define who you are and you must never be bothered by what people say cos most of them are Clueless about the institution of marriage. Those who truly understand will never look down on you because you are single. Your happiness is more important than marriage.

2. Be financially independent: Any single lady in her late 30s should never make it a priority to get married cos the more you worry about it the more pressure you put on yourself and this is bad for your psych.

At this stage of your life, self actualization is what you need and trust me, by the time you make it a priority to get the best out of life, this will inadvertently gravitate men to you.

Before I give this third advise let me share this very touching story...

I remember a certain Nairalander who contacted me about 6years ago and she said she has made up her mind to be a single mum if she turns 36 and she is still unmarried and asking me to be ready to donate sperm for her cos she sees me as a responsible guy... Furthermore, she will not put any pressure on me to be financially responsible for the child as she is well to do but she just want to have a child to avoid a situation where she will reach menopause and still childless.

Unfortunately she left this world before she could make this happen... So What is the point?

3. GET A SPERM DONOR TO BEAT EARLY MENOPAUSE.

The paramount purpose of a lady is not necessarily marriage but to multiply, bring forth new generations and replenish the earth. The good thing is that with the modern medical advancement, any lady can achieve this without getting married.

If you are a lady still single in your late 30s please get a man to donate sperm for you. You don't have to sleep with him and he needs not be financially responsible for the child but just for you to point to somebody in future as the child's father. This will let you relax to get a better choice of a husband.

4. A man who will love you will love you.

Some may say once they are single mums, guys will run from them and YES I agree but this will also attract real men who understand that single motherhood is not a taboo but Infact a proof that a lady is fertile, a proof that she is responsible enough to keep a baby even when they had the choice to abort.. No genuine man will reject a lady cos she is a single mum especially if the child(ren) is her first.

5 .And lastly as suggested by Pocohantas in the comment below... If you are open to polygamy, give it a shot.

According to her, as a lady gets older in Nigeria, it gets harder to see a never-been-married man with noble intentions. So if you don’t mind polygamy, if you just want to have your kids by one man, find one polygamous man and have all your kids with him.

All I wrote, this is an opinionated advise but any lady in this position could still decide to wait until she finds a husband but she must understand that whilst she is waiting, her time is ticking and menopause will definitely come regardless.

I hope this makes sense.
