So that corrupt officials can turn it to business?

DownChelsea:
I have 4 like your friend, and they support Tinubu.


Your point again was??

Just pointing out to the person i quoted that he cant use himself as proof that Peter Obi's fans will vote.

Pclemenza:
She’s an adult, she knows what’s right and what’s not. If she really is a fan, then she would do the needful. Probably past experiences of Election violence fueled her decision.

I’m all out for PETER OBI.

I don't know her reasons but Peter Obi has the strongest base in Millenials and Gen Z and this is always the demographic, all over the world, that votes the least.

Akurakambe:
She's just one person as such you shouldn't generalize.

Peter Obi is coming

Where did i generalize though?

I gave you her as an example because you were generalizing using yourself.

Akurakambe:
I'm OBI.dient and I've my PVC ready. It baffles how people think that Peter Obi supporters does not have pvc.

Peter Obi is my candidate and I'll give him my vote.

Baffles? Lol.

I have a friend who is a staunch Peter Obi fan. But she also told me she will not vote and has no plans to ever vote.

Ximenez:
How's Toure greater than Drogba?

Toure was much more of an all rounder, who played centre back, centre mid, and strike.

He redefined what it meant to be a goal scoring midfielder.

He won major trophies in two major leagues plus the Champions league

He performed for country, winning the Afcon, which Drogba didn't do.

Drogba did just a few of these but the records are clear. He was never a prolific goal scorer across his career. He's not even, therefore, the best African striker. Toure is undoubtedly the best African midfielder of all time.

And if you still want to argue never forget that Toure was 4 time African player of the year which Drogba achieved only twice.

successmatters:
Greed is a powerful addiction, southerners seem to be more greedy than the devil himself. And it always backfires.

Steve Adaka Boro sold his region to the north just because of his greed foe oil, and the backfiring is still consuming his unborn generations.

If you don't even know the name how can anyone trust your version of history?

oz4real83:
America and their media should always be bold enough to accept and acknowledge their citizens who have dual nationalities when ever they commit crime. This criminal is an American despite bearing a Nigerian name, the news should be reported as such.

Is sahara reporters an american brand now?

List is incomplete without Yaya Toure.

Neither Drogba nor Okocha should be there ahead of him.

For that matter, Mohammed Aboutrika.

Blue86:
Listening to the wisdom of the elders ( the bible) will go a long way in adding to your life.

Couples life without marriage is wrong.

And being in a marriage without the go ahead of the Lord Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith, is wrong.

so married men aren't beating their wives?

Cataboy:
forex the greatest scam

What makes it a scam?

Smithkafors:
You guys are evil!, someone who could not transform Lagos the supposed state with highest revenue will transform Nigeria?. Una no well.

This was a Tinubu achievement to be fair. Not in support but i believe in objectivity.

Lionnation:
No houses only beautiful roads with no economic activities

Those roads will pave the way for economic activities. And don't forget this is a second city not even the capital.

Please cal a good thing good without desperately searching for a comma to add.

Tmberwolf1:
GBAM! That's why no one can invade America. Their citizens are armed to the teeth, and are ready to defend themselves... But unfortunately they are mad

That's not why.

Sure having armed citizens makes it hard but the truth is, the US military is simply too large far too well equipped.

pizapato:
There is no need whatsoever to switch courses.

There is a tight connection between EEE and computer science. All he needs to do is to start learning how to code from now while studying to complete his first degree in EEE.

Once he has mastered coding, he will start to see the connection between the two fields and how he can harness the knowledge from the fields

Electrical cars and autonomous vehicles are examples of the connection between the fields.

Look at the big picture

The need lies in the fact that he's not enjoying it and is not learning effectively. What kind of electrical engineer is he going to become by putting in the bare minimum effort? The big picture isn't about getting a degree and then finding a way to use it.

It's about pursuing what you have genuine passion for so that you can learn it well, think well, come out and become a solution maker.

Kibbs:
I'm 22, currently in my 3rd year (first semester) of a 5year course - Elect Elect. The problem is it's a course I have no passion or likeness for.

A lot of days, since 20lvl to be exact, I'm in class and I'm like "What am I doing here?". I see how my coursemates faces light up when something new is being taught or when practicals are going on but it's the exact opposite for me. I'm unattentive in 80% of the classes and no matter how hard I try, I'm never as focused during practicals like the rest cus I just don't have any interest in going on.

The two solutions I'm considering :
The first is to change courses, although that will set me back a year which means I'll be 25 by the time I'm done, 26 if NYSC is calculated. I already lost 4yrs waiting for admission so the thought of being setback another year makes me cringe esp when I'll be just a few years from 30 when I'm eventually done. That is if the possibility of yet another ASUU strike isn't considered o. Time is precious.

The second is just dropping out and maybe going to one of the recognised IT institutions to study an industry course cus I still have interest in IT related stuff. Infact, it was once a discussion during the days I was still home struggling to get into school so I'm sure I'll be backed. If I were to change courses sef in school, it would've been computer science. Another advantage of this for me is I'll be in Lagos permanently where I'll have opportunities to do several other things I want to do by the side as opposed to being in Ogbomosho (which is dead) where my school is. I never wanted to leave lag in the first place bit unilag had other ideas.


Well that's it.

Inputs welcome.


Would appreciate if this was moved to fp.

An extra year is nothing. I was 26 when I went back to school to start all over in a second degree. In the grand scheme of your life, where you may hopefully live up to 70 and more, that one year will be absolutely nothing.

But are you certain it is comp science you really want? i would advise that you start taking some IT courses now before you switch so that you can be sure.

Education is best when you enjoy it so don't labour through something that you won't even be able to defend )since you don't pay attention).

squarelead:
But wait o, is this a new law. We need to know. Because I have not heard of this before.

lol which new law?

I always tell me friends if you open the law books you will realize that the average Nigerian commits probably 3 -5 offences daily without knowing it.

Kobojunkie:
I am sorry but your reasoning is yours, not hers since she is the woman who has lived 16 years with this man, where you never have.

So, accept what I have said as my portion and move on..

That's not my reasoning. That's literally what the OP posted. Did you not read the post?

You have a weird agenda.

Kobojunkie:
The man's responsibility to do what exactly? What are you on about abeg?

You said: "We don't know the exact reason for why this woman has chosen to withhold what she has"

The answer is what I said. We do know. She said it was because it's not her responsibility to spend on the family.

Kobojunkie:
Try to be less emotional in your assessment of these issues and may be you will be better able to see beyond your hatred.

We don't know the exact reason for why this woman has chosen to withhold what she has so she can instead have it available for future(as we assume here). Neither did her husband reveal this reason for us. So it is rash to conclude she is being wicked simply on the comment of the man's relative here.

The reasons is clearly stated: "that is the man's responsibility". It's right there.

In every marriage thread it's a given that you will show up to take the woman's side. Why is that?

gasparpisciotta:
These myopic party leaders need to caution themselves, cursing Obi will do no good to the general cause of the igbos.

Northerners are already celebrating the division amongst southerners.

This is the time to rally the whole South against the machinations of the North

Which is what Peter Obi should have done by rallying behind Wike.

Is it not crystal clear that even if every single soul in SE votes P.O SW and North wont?

So northern sentiment must be respected but southern sentiment means nothing?

Okay. I blame disunited southerners.

ruggedtimi:
I almost paid 5k for something close to what she posted at a restaurant in Lagos Murtala Mohammed airport. No be lie

Airports are always much more expensive. Can't be compared to a place within town.

This just makes it clear that they knew Wike would win and had to do everything necessary, not to serve Nigeria, but to serve Fulani and northern interests.

Yet you will see southerners come on here to mock Wike. It is as though you all do not realize that the battle for your future is a battle for freedom, first, and every defeat suffered by a southerner is suffered by us all.

Oh, you people are thinking that a defeat for Wike is a win for Peter Obi? Sure I will vote for Obi but we all know he can't win against Atiku. He will just share the remaining votes with Osibanjo/Tinubu.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
“As a result of the superior firing power of the joint team, some of the hoodlums with bullet wounds scampered for escape in different directions"

How can you scamper for escape with bullet wounds and not get caught..do they posses some sort of superpower..
This line is so hilarious..

Of course you can escape with bullet wounds. bullets may lodge in the fleshy parts without causing too much damage. Even in instances where bones are broken or critical arteries are severed, you still sometimes have a window of time during which you can function normally.

Is this what you guys have to put up with in politics every day?



i just popped in to see whats happening. Damn!

So much foolishness.

Imagine a judge reasoning that the man would be scared of blood.

Ratio decidendi in the mud!

Cromagnon:
it was almost 4 years ago and i can't remember the title of the article

Ah found it

Got it, thanks

Cromagnon:
no you can't. President has put moratorium on it

Oh okay...thats interesting. Can you point me in the direction of a resource where i can read up on it?

Olonitola:
Dear Nairalanders, what do you think of this?
I got a new job 7th of February and the pay although not a normalised pay is very okay. The least I have received every month since I joined has been #126,000. There were months I was paid #170K ( happened twice) because it's commission based.

So far, I have been able to save #315,000 but I have a little problem.

I am a 29-year old guy who presently stays with my elder sister who also works in this company. She's a single mother of two. The apartment is a one bedroom-parlor apartment. She stays in the room while I occupy the parlor with my few properties (Mattress, Wardrobe, Plasma TV and home theatre) none of which she has because she had to abandon her husband late last year as she was being frustrated by him. She didn't pick anything while leaving, so she literally has just started buying a few things in the house. Apart from the parlor, 70% of the things in the kitchen and bathroom belong to me.

What actually happened about this was that; when she newly got this job (August, last year), she desperately needed a space as her ex husband was seriously frustrating her. She just left the husband's house with absolutely nothing like I already stated. Then as an unemployed graduate, I couldn't renew my rent which expired (November, last year). Because of this I decided to move them to her place and also shelter with her. Now my question is that, I am 29 years old, should I get a personal space with my current savings as my monthly pay seems enough or should I keep staying with her while I keep saving?
Mind you, I contribute to everything in this house, from food to water to NEPA bills and everything. Times we share the bills, other times I pay alone or she pays alone but it's all seem balanced in a way. No complaints so far.

Mind you I do not care what neighbors think as well even as they seem utterly unpleased with a man this grown staying with his sister. I do not care and also, I do not have a girlfriend so it's not about privacy or whatever.
But you know as a grown man with a lot yet to be achieved, I just seem confused.

What would you advise a brother?

You should get a place of your own eventually.

Wait it out for a while so that when you move you can still have some savings. As it is, make your decisions as though you have nothing in the bank.

Safyqueen:
While those killing in the East are not christains because there in the east crime has no religion but in the north, crime has religion which is Islam. Descaration of culture always attracts jungle justice anywhere, therefore in the north, Islam is more than religion, it has become their culture. Go and shout Nnamdi Kanu is a terrorist at a park in Anambra and see what will happen.

So, crime can happen anywhere and has no religion.

This is the stupidest use of sophistry I've ever seen.

Your crime and your religion are separate until your crime is solely because of religion, in the name of religion, even chanting Allahu Ahkbar, while you religious leaders come out to justify the act claiming there is some red line that should not be crossed.

remi1444:
maybe if I share my Hashnode profile. Although I’ve not written much. I have only been documenting what I learnt from the online course I’ve been taking on JavaScript.

Additionally, My learning pace is fast and I’m versatile when it comes to learning (this can be proven by my ability to pick up coding when I do not have 1% prior knowledge of computers and how they work) new things.

Okay, go ahead share to techhire11@gmail.com.
