Family › Re: Married Men In The House Please Advice Me by shortgun(m): 10:55pm On Jul 18, 2021

Please go for your girl and disregard any other advice you got here.
You will surely regret it in the future if you miss this girl......you don't know what you have.

You are perfectly ready for marriage and matured enough to have a happy home if you decide to become a man.
I don't know the kind of "men" we have these days that will always run away from little challenges and miss the prize at stake. angry

Don't let anyone discourage you, your woman is the big prize, her brothers are obstacles you need to overlook/ignore/manage to claim your prize.

Winning battles or learning from them is how boys become men not running away from every little problem.

As you navigate through life, you will face battles, challenges and obstacles....how many will you run from?
how long will you continue to run?

1. Before a man takes a child away from the mother, he is convinced the child will not get proper care/upbringing.

2. A man who left his country to go and "hustle" abroad will not want the burden and distraction of caring for a child.

3. I find it hard to believe that your ex- boyfriend will close shop and abandoned his business in the country and vanish into thin air because he wants to take custody of his child.

4. You are hiding information and giving vague descriptions on purpose.

5. You plan to travel all the way from Congo to Nigeria to look for a man you don't even know his name?

6. Your friend betrayed you, his friends won't support, police only wants your money....

Meanwhile, if I should leave Uber guy with his personal experience alone, he too and you of course should leave girls and women alone to do whatever that please them with their body alone

In ur six months experience, you never meet loyal girlfriend and married womem, but all are cheating, I will advice you to do more research without bias mind.

There wont be a day that everybody will be equal and behave same way on Earth, God purposely design it that way.

Meanwhile with kind of job and data (girls and women) you collated to do ur research , it must tend towards negative disposition , and not neutral in ur findings

If you want research reports on the cheating habits of Nigerian females, go to durex ,leave the guy who only shared his personal experience alone.

I bet this OP must have failed an e-exam in GST or another course, that's why he/she is complaining. When answering e-exam questions, NOUN expects you to use the exact words from the module they gave you to study in order to show that you have covered the course outline.
Don't formulate your own ideas or similar thoughts to what's in your NOUN textbook.
Its only pen on paper exams you can interchange some words as it will be marked by a lecturer, not the computer.
Also try and ensure that you perform well in your TMA (Continuous Assessment) so as to have a good grade when any results is out. That's one great way of passing in National Open University of Nigeria.
Besides its very difficult to cheat or bribe any lecturers in NOUN which makes them have a high standard.

Anyone with half a functional brain will pass all the exams.
TMAs gives students sure 30 marks...this is very easy to achieve...they only need to copy and paste.
You only need to score 30% in a 70, 100 or 120 question exams.
Scoring 20 marks in a 70 questions exam is what a student needs to pass a course.
Who will not achieve this?
In some of the exam questions you only complete common knowledge sentences exactly the way it's written in the course materials...this is the same all over the country.

Higher education should not be structured this way or the purpose will be defeated.
I've passed through education in conventional universities here and abroad I can tell you that no where else in the world are undergraduates taught to memorize every word in their textbooks and paste them during assessments and exams.
From first semester in every other university in the world you are made to understand that college learning is different from high school learning.
A common expression you hear from lecturers/facilitators over there is " the world wants to learn from you not from me".
Lecturers will punish you for doing all your assignments with sentences you picked from them. One of the instructions given with assignment questions is a serious warning not to copy anwers from any source not even your textbooks or your previous assessments.
All assessment answers are checked for plagiarism.

Undergraduates are expected to be creative and show different unique innovative ways to solving common problems.
No two students answers to a question are expected to be the same in approach or method....why is this different here?
Tertiary education should stimulate critical thinking abilities in students not turn them into empty copycats.
Undergraduates are required to show understanding of the concepts they learn in their assessment not to complete sentences from their textbooks.

Education › What I Saw In National Open University. by shortgun(op): 3:26pm On Jul 11, 2021

It's a pity that NOUN is structured just as every other public tertiary institution in the country. The purpose of higher education is defeated in our universities.
The purpose of higher education is to stimulate the ability for undergraduates to think for themselves and proffer solutions to societal problems in their own innovative ideas.
It is even more tasking for the students if it is distance learning.

In universities abroad students will get a low grade or get penalised when they copy the exact words or phrases of their lecturers,instructors or other people's work, students will be punished when they use the same method in solving a new assignment that they used in a previous one(students are expected to cite their own previous work).
You will even get more punishment or fail a course when you do so without proper citations and references. Students are not allowed more than 7-10 % citations in their assignments, exams, e.t.c you will fail the course if it's more.

Generally, tests, assignments and exams should reflect how well each student understands the subject and how they will explain them in their own words not the lecturer's words.

What is happening in NOUN and every other university in the country is just copy and paste, I doubt 90% of the students are learning, we are just expected to cram as much as possible and fill in the gaps during assignments and exams, your answer to a question will be wrong if you substitute a word with the same meaning with another word(synonym) in your course materials, text book or handout.....this is not learning.
It is funny that the same lecturers that discouraged creativity and innovation will expect students to be innovative when writing their projects or during project defence.

Higher education is not based on cramming,copy and paste or the lecturer's understanding of a subject it's foundation is based on the student's ability to understand concepts and ability to process those concepts into ideas that is unique and innovative.

I was really thinking that NOUN will be different from every other university in the country but just like every other institution it have been infected with the Nigerian factor.

Education › Re: Critical Thinking by shortgun(m): 1:41am On Jul 08, 2021

I don't know the direction your question is headed. What I know is critical thinking applies to every discipline.
Critical thinking is all about problem solving, it is looking at scenerios, events, statements e.t.c from different perspectives to to arrive at a conclusion.

It is the ability to subject issues to analysis and evaluation in other to ascertain their true value.

e.g Somebody once said " I will stabilise the international oil price and make 1 naira equal to 1 dollar"
If you subject the above statement to analysis and evaluation you arrive at the conclusion that it is senseless and can only be made by a person who is unschooled.

For those paying and relying on past question and answers, just know that most of the answers are wrong....this is why most students score 8/70 and get carry overs.
It happened in my study centre.
How did I know this?
Cross check the answers with your course materials you will see the errors.
There's no substitute for reading to learn.
Use the past questions only as a guide, if you must.
Read your course materials.. there's no how you will fail in your exams if you read even if it's for 2 hours.

Interestingly, when we are in trouble with a broken down car on the highway, police harassing us for no good reason in public or it starts raining unexpectedly and we are caught up in it, with no shelter or umbrella and cars are driving by, we desperately wish people won't mind their business at such times and actually intervene to help us - how is that different from what OP wants to do?

Thank you for this.
With the comments I saw here, I was beginning to think maybe something was wrong with my consideration.
I will go ahead with my plans to help them anyway I can.
Like someone said, I can buy gifts for their child, I don't think that will ring a bell.

With what the husband said, you don't need a sooth-sayer to tell you he doesn't want to see you anywhere near his wife. So back off!

A simple thank you anytime she does anything for you is ok. Don't even smile when you say it. E get why.

Family › My Neighbours Wife. by shortgun(op): 10:54pm On Jun 23, 2021*

I stay in a compound with 4 tenants.
One of my co-tenant's wife have shown me acts of kindness many times and I want to repay her kindness but I don't know how to go about it without getting her suspicious husband worked up or cause problems in their home.

I am a very busy bachelor, I hardly have time to do most home chores. I go out early and come back late at night.

This lady helps me remove my clothes outside when I spread them, when I bring out trash and keep it outside she helps me to take them out, even when wind blow off my clothes from the line, she will wash and dry them . She's the only one that comes to ring my door bell to notify me whenever power is restored when I am on gen and asleep.

I've been thinking of ways to repay her kindness but the problem is her husband with the little interactions I've had with him is someone that will read meanings to my kindness to them....I once traveled and bought things for them, when I went to give the things I bought for them the husband was not around, I delivered the stuff to the wife at the door and left.

After some days, I was having a conversation with the man and he said " Men should not visit the home of a married woman whenever the husband was not around" I was shocked because what he said had nothing to do with our discussion.
One other time, I and the wife were the only ones left in the compound during the festive period when everyone had traveled, I noticed the wife doesn't sleep in the compound...she comes back every morning. I believe it was the instruction from her husband not to be sleeping in the house and I believe it's because of me. The woman is always in a hurry whenever she returns my clothes or comes to notify me to turn off my gen.

I know they are struggling in these hard times and I have the capacity to help but I don't want the husband to read unnecessary meanings to anything I do for them... He is also a kind of person that will feel I am looking down on him if I render any help.

I don't really blame the man cos he sees how different girls comes to my house and he may think I will have interest in his wife.

I've discussed this with some of my friends, some said I should forget about helping or giving anything to the man or his wife while some think I should go ahead if I want to.
So I want nairalanders to help me decide on what I should do.

According to you, he has already seen a Urologist, and biopsy has been advised.

That's the standard way to go. Other things will come thereafter.
Go source for money, bros, or check other Urologists/teaching hospitals to see if you can get lower fees.

Thank you.
I would've have booked him for the process if not for other family members who thinks that he's too weak for the "surgery"
Am still trying to convince them that it's a procedure for a test.
Funding is not a problem.

Yes biopsy is not a cure. It's a diagnostic procedure to know whether cancer is in the prostrate or not. If there is, he will discuss treatment options with you one of which is radical prostatectomy (castration as you said). Try and do the biopsy first and take it one day at a time..All will be well
