You obviously went to a private school. Some public schools had that much or more sef in a class. When I was in jss1 we were atleast 90 in a class, but by the time I was in ss2, the govt decided to restructure everything and so we were not more than 30 in a class. So I believe her.

Private school all day, everyday. Though my brother went to an FGC

I don't doubt that you can have tens of thousands in a school but hundreds of thousands? Na...not even in India

Funjosh:
Thats Not An Exaggeration I Attended Such School With Large Population.

She said hundreds of thousands... That is the population of a small town. Even Nigeria's biggest 3 universities combined will not give you a hundred thousand people.

handsomety:
Nairaland guys why una dey take yinz personal.. I never said the girl is my grolfnd.. she is my crush...

Why are you doing this to yourself?

Benita27:
Decent girls don't fight. We had dos and don'ts like other schools with the best teachers in our disposal, you just won't understand the fun in coming to school every day where you have over hundreds of thousands of girls to deal with, we were 150 in a class and each had from A to G...you could just imagine. i missed our atrocities.

In one school? take it easy na... haba

150 by 7 is 1050 at most your school had about 10, 000 students.

Easy on the exaggeration ma

Talk2Bella i don't like you or some of the views you express, but i admire your passion and drive.

You've got the right ideas of how to go about this business but you need to step up the implementation. Next time get a better background for your video. Be more professional. If you need to get a professional to shoot and edit for you, then do that.

alexov:
Well lower prices translate to higher demand which is what they need. It's all about the economics.

Wrong analysis. This is a marketing issue not an economics one

Their price is not low in fact otherwise they would be doing these things for the average man on the street. But they are not. So obviously they are reserving the goodies for a certain class (or classless type). This is closely related to the marketing techniques of price skimming and premium pricing.

that fat guy is very stuuupid

othman11:
Gombe ?? Kaduna??

Gombe? Did this guy seriously just nominate Gombe?

I have been to Gombe, although that was a few years back... but there was not much going on in Gombe back then, at all. As far as Nothern cities go Kaduna, Kano and Jos might be mentioned but then, when considering places to live in Nigeria you want to talk about places that have a nice, free atmosphere where you can live in relative peace and not have to worry about getting accused of blasphemy.

I especially want to see Enugu to get a good feel of what the East is all about. May God grant us the grace to build this nation.

Following this thread https://www.nairaland.com/3545214/5-best-nigerian-cities-live has made me wonder what makes Lagos such an amazing place for doing business and other cities such as Ibadan, much less so?

All along i have assumed that the secret to Lagos's success was its huge population and concentration of skilled workers, but then Ibadan is similarly well-populated and has good concentrations of both skilled workers and less-skilled workers. So what gives?

And what could/should be done to make Ibadan and other major cities more competitive?

Well it goes like this; I met this girl some months ago. I instantly had a liking for her reason being that she looked so much like an old friend. We got talking and as time went on, feelings began to set it. I made my intentions clear to her about wanting to date her and she was like "let's see how it goes". We hung out a couple of times, from the signs I was getting it became obvious that she was intrested in me.
One night we got chatting on whatsApp after we came back from an outing. I asked her: "hope you had fun today? " she replied: "yes. Thanks for making my day. It was generally a good day except that I'm having issues with my boyfriend ". ["Did I just hear boyfriend ?"; I said in my mind] Trying to play it cool I said: "Sorry about that". At this point I told many thoughts began to cross my mind. Not wanting to be a girlfriend snatcher I let it pass. We continued chatting. After a few convos she asked me: "Hope you're not hurt ?" "About?" (Pretending not to know what she was talking about ): I replied. "About the boyfriend stuff? "
"Nah...why should I?"
"But I have feelings for you and would have really like if we could work out I'm sorry ".
"Now I'm going to cry in my pillow for weeks (I said jokingly )".
"Lol. You're funny ".
"Do me a favour ".
"what ?"
"You're going to be responsible for getting me the second most beautiful and amazing girl now that I can not have you".
"Lol ".
Long story short, she began trying to convince me to give it a try. Telling me how her boyfriend stays outside town and how they only see once in a while. I let her know that I can't share my woman with another man, how I can't be the side guy. She kept insisting telling me to trust her. I still let her know that more than affection I need comitment and how it's impossible to be commited to two people and all the emotional baggage that comes with it (having witness a similar scenario ). She told me to pretend I didn't know about another man in her life. She kept insisting. I then asked: "If you have a boyfriend what that make me?"
"Boyfriend": she replied. We kept going back and forth about the scenario until I told her to forget it as I cannot be a "Backup plan". She claimed I did not care about her feelings.
The following evening her roommate called me asking me what I did to her friend and how she had been crying all evening. I felt bad and asked to meet so we could talk things over. I eventually agreed to date her giving her the following terms :
1. That she figures which of us she's going to continue with and a day will come when she has to decide or it's over.
2. That she never brings him up whenever we're together.
She was very happy and took the offer. Things got off to a great start. Time went on and we increasingly got fon of each other.
The first day we kissed, she told me she was feeling guilty. Trying not to be a drama queen, I reacted cooly. I just reminded her about our agreement of not bringing stuff like that up. She cries any time we have sextet and as time went on I made her feel comfortable about sex.
The relationship went on. We had fights, we reconciled every time like every other normal relationship.
A few days ago when she was supposed to leave town to her family for the Christmas, we had our goodbye sex and all that. We said our 'byes' and 'i miss you(s)' & parted ways. Latter that evening, she called me and was crying over the phone. I told her to calm down and tell me what the matter was. She told me that what she did with me earlier in the day, she did with the other guy. My heart shattred. I was so furious and didn't know what to say. I just ended the call. She kept calling and texting to apologise saying she won't bring him up again and that she needed someone to talk to at that point that's why she called. Ignored her for a while then I replied her; if she wants us to work out, she we have to meet up and talk about our relationship should be ideally. But she seems not to be able to make up her mind. I feel this is a typical case of trying to eat your cake and have it.
What do I do?

o really?

What a genius you are

You built a house together but you need your brother to help out with your touchpad...

Okay I see

orjikuramo:
For goodness sake, didn't u guys see "file photo for illustration" under the image. U guys are the reason most primary school teachers are dying of migraine

I believe he is just making a joke out of the photo itself, saying that chinese are too fast and acrobatic or something, for them to be caught falling on camera

AntiWailer:
50,000 bail for attempted murder ?

our justice system is sick

Bail has little to do with the severity of the accusation. In the eyes of the law he is innocent at this present time so setting a very high bail amount would be unfair. Note that i highlighted the word accusation because as at now, legally, it is just that: an accusation. The news report says he's guilty but the court has not yet said so. I'm saying all this with the assumption that you know that bail does not mean the man gets to go scott-free. This is the same as anywhere in the world.

Analee:
gbam!u js nailed it

lol

I really hope this helps someone. In my experience of interacting with people who are struggling through life, i have found out that an improper understanding of the power of goal setting is one root cause of failure.

Lalasticlala perhaps more people need to see this?

sanandreas:
This man is a president in disguise. He is receiving guest just like buhari.

But this their Kuje state house get as e be o

emolala:
I strongly believe that in life.,there are three people you can not decive God, Satan and Yourself. Think about this.

I'm really not sure why you have quoted me to say this...

I wonder how all these politicians kiss their children goodnight with love in their hearts after shedding so much of the blood of other people's children, both those born and those yet unborn.

I shudder.

OlajumokeBread:


Please, can you give me that thing you're smoking

What is a relationship between a true Christian brother and sister ??

Can you mention anyone in the bible that was in that type of relationship ??

Christians are the most confused people on earth

Hope you read your bible? I'll give you one example, after that promise me you will never speak about something you do not fully understand ok?

Mary and Joseph were in a relationship before they got married.

legendte:
Both of us know fully well that non of the two leaders instigated the crime.
There's no known human rights abuse or political killings under them.
Boko Haram or terrorism was the first to hit the nation.
Northern leaders didn't help out.
Well equipped countries in the world find it difficult to win war on terror, how much more an ill equipped country with zero coordination of security like Nigeria.
Just tell me any role the leaders in the North helped in the fight.
Presidency recently claimed that Buhari has not spoken about the kaduna killing because the chief security officer...The governor is on top of the matter.
Chibok girls were kidnapped yet the governor who is the chief security officer didn't inform the commander in Chief.
Gov Ugwuanyi called Buhari after the Nimbo attack and followed up with a visit 48 hours later.
We heard of political killings under OBJ, Odi massacre under OBJ and the killing of IPOB and SHITE under Buhari.

The comment you made blessing Yaradua and GEJ for safety of lives and all that... you made it on this thread discussing boko haram. Which implies that while you think Yaradua and GEJ did well in this regard, Buhari is somehow responsible for boko haram? Explain?

Go and watch this video from beginning to the end:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOf8_ecDk3c

The army already said very clearly that Shekau and his terrorist elements fled the location. So if he comes out with a video why would that be surprising?

Adiwana:
The truth is that I have been very skeptical of the "GOOD" News of capturing Boko's biggest base
1.why did it come barley a fortnight after it was reported that soldiers were fainting
2.why did the news come at a delicate time like Christmas
3.How on Earth do you capture a terrorist base without casualties
4.How did you have access to their leaders Flag&Quran without capturing the leader himself
5Why? why? why?.
Some many questions left unanswered but just like the average Nigerian,we don't ask questuons&Anybody that asks is a hater

I really feel like if you sit yourself down and say to yourself: "look Adiwana, let's try and be sensible", you could come up with some answers.

1. The war is ongoing so there expect concurrent delivery of both good and bad news. Since the source of the bad news was purportedly soldiers themselves, then surely if there was no campaign in Sambisa wouldn't the disgruntled soldiers have spoken up by now??

2. See above.

3. There were casualties, and even hundreds of kidnapped fighters according to news reports.

4. Are his flag and Quran appended to his body? Are they not things that can easily be left behind if and when he has to flee?

5. See the above.

legendte:
Though I would like to say something political but for the sake of the innocent people that died and may die because of this, I refrain from such.

Any politics that involves the killing of people should not be encouraged.

Yaradua and Jonathan really gave us a fresh air when it comes to human rights and safeguard of lives.

If i do recall correctly, it was under these two men that:

1. Boko Haram became an issue in Nigeria not so?

2. It was under Goodluck Jonathan that they spiralled out of control.

3. It was under GEJ that hundreds of innocent children were kidnapped in one night from the same location despite there being prior information about an impending attack;

4. It was under GEJ that Nigerian citizens for the first time in two generations, became internally displaced persons.

5. It was under GEJ that for the first time in two generations, 3 whole states of Nigeria were outside government control.

6. It was under GEJ that billions of naira budgeted for arms and soldiers welfare, were diverted, sending hundreds of gallant young man to premature deaths.

7. It was under GEJ that the army was indicted on a massive scale, in the capture, torture and murder of random males both young, old, and underaged. Which till today, as we are speaking, no one has been called to book for.

8. It was under GEJ that for the first time in our nations history, Nigerian troops at war openly mutinied against their commanding officer, a general, out of desperation.

In light of the above, which are well-known to the general public, how can you then, in good conscience, come out with the bolded?

smileyoo:
It would 've been a good move, if there 'll be no lopsidedness in its imprementation.

It is not the job of the legislative to worry about that. Their job is to make good laws, which they are doing in this case. Let the Judiciary worry about keeping abuse in check.

obataokenwa:
If it happens, the state assembly is there to commence impeachment proceedings against the governor....the only surest way to deprive one immunity and not by making it a freewill for a murderer like.....

Can you give me a single instance in Nigerian history where a state assembly has done such? If politics worked that way, i don't think Nyesom Wike should still be sitting comfy in Rivers govt. house given his long list of crimes, not least of which includes conspiracy to commit murder!

Besides, you appear to be telling me that you think impeachment from office is a suitable punishment for the crime of murder?

obataokenwa:
nonsense. I hate when USA is used as a yardstick in formulating our laws. Just sit down and ponder, how will Buhari use this law if passed. By now everyone would have left the country.

Hope you realize that blanket immunity as currently afforded senior members of the executive in Nigeria means that the governor of any state can one day stop his convoy, get down, pull out a gun and pump your head full of bullets simply because he doesn't like your tribal marks and go scott free?

Truthfully, there should be no intimacy at all. Why? Because the way we are built, everything is intentionally designed to lead up to something else. When you hold hands you may feel it is harmless but that triggers the release of oxytocin (love hormone) which makes you want more, then you might hug tightly and if certain regions connect, you feel a warmth (sexual desires kick in at this phase combined with the presence of oxytocin....you are fighting a battle against nature.

It's best to take a functional view of relationships, without letting emotions enter too soon.

mikezuruki:
I doubt that. The party that has the Presidency will send opposition party to kirikiri. This is not a good move.

Meaning the opposition are criminals?

If you are like most people, you are probably wondering if you should bother making any resolutions for the new year, considering the fact that you probably didn't keep your last set of resolutions. You won't be alone as lots of people fail to keep their New Year's resolutions.

However, New Year's Resolutions can be an immensely effective tool and people who fail at using them do so usually because they do not know how to make resolutions work for them. Ready to be a new, more productive person in 2017? Follow these simple steps that will help you make and keep your resolutions effectively.

1. Have a clear, guiding vision

Most people will just pen down a list of the things they would like to change about themselves and tote it around as their New Year's resolution list. To be effective, you will need to have an actual reason for why you want to change anything about yourself.

For instance, you shouldn’t just say, “I will save more in 2017”, you should say, “I will save more in 2017 so that I can have enough money to start my business by 2018”. See how it works? A long term vision gives you a compelling reason to follow through with your resolutions.

2. Internalize your new vision

Once you have an actual vision of who you want to be, the second step is internalizing it. In school you probably realized that understanding the material is one thing but truly learning it is quite another. You can understand something and forget about it in a couple of days but once you truly learn it, it stays with you for a lifetime.

Psychologists have also discovered that people who internalize their goals are much more effective at achieving them. What does this mean for you? The changes you want to see in your life must happen first in your heart and mind. Picture the new you, over and over, until that image becomes embedded in your mind.

3. Have an accountability partner

The truth is, it is usually much easier to let yourself down that it is to let down a person you love. You could make excuses to yourself for why you just can’t keep up with a task, but if you have to explain this to someone you love and respect (like a special other or mentor), you are much more likely to be less willing to want to see them disappointed.

4. Be realistic

There’s no point biting off more than you can chew. You might say it’s a good idea to challenge yourself but the truth is, when you take on challenges that are too far out of reach and you fail, you are conditioning your mind to naturally become more risk-averse.

You need to start with little successes to build up your confidence, and build on from there. If you currently don’t pray at all and you’d like to be a more prayerful person in 2017, you could start by saying a one-minute prayer every day for the first 7 days of the new year, and increasing it by one minute every week after that. Set small but progressive milestones.

5. Write your resolutions properly

You might feel as though this is going overboard, but you really should treat your resolutions with respect. Write them down legibly and preserve them carefully. If possible, print and frame them in a place where you can see them regularly. If you don’t write your resolutions with respect, you are not likely to treat them with respect and commitment as the year progresses.

6. Keep them to yourself

There’s no need to go round showing your list of resolutions to any and everybody who cares to listen. You should share them with your mentor or accountability partner, but remember that there are always people who will speak negatively about your dreams and goals and possibly discourage you even if they don’t mean to.

Conclusion:

Is your life headed down the path you want it to? Sean Covey teaches in his book, The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective Teenagers, that momentous occasions such as the coming of a new year are excellent occasions for launching a new set of goals. So go ahead and start planning what your New Year's resolutions will be, using these 6 tips.

Happy New Year!
