The one that spent 500k on a gf was stupid!.

Spend on her but wisely.
You think this one is stupid? Wait until you hear other people's story. Dem no dey hear word.

But for people who have money, 500k is not much of a deal sha.

Most Nigerian girls are incapable of loving a guy.they only enter relationships for financial gains.most of them are naturally mentally poor,and they only see their bodies as 'assets' for generating cash.

I just hope our Nigerian guys would wisen up and know that they(guys) contribute financially,physically and sexually while the ladies contribute only sexually.
Most of the ladies won't even help you prepare ordinary indomie noodles,but would hungrily ask you for shawama when you return from work.
Even the so called 'big girls' and working class ladies,still have that entitlement mentality.

I KNOW THAT THEY ARE STILL A FEW 'GOOD ONES' OUT THERE...
The sense of entitlement ish is one of the problems I have with ladies and sadly guys help in enforcing that mentality. A guy breaks up with a girl and the next thing you hear is 'he used me'. Someone on this thread already said the guy should be able to take care of her while she does what? probably, Nothing.
Now I know guys have their own problems which is not what I'm addressing now, this is me talking from a guy's angle.

If I was a woman I will do exactly what these goldiggers are doing if opportunity presents itself. You lure me with money, you finished.

Lesson: Money cannot buy love or genuine affection. It can only get you her presence.

And just like many people are present in your life without really being into you, So are the women you are luring with material gifts.
Coming from a guy, this is good.

I asked a simple question.. And I need a simple answer.. I didn't come here to know what faction of females like money or not..
I don't know because no one knows.
This is my opinion. I could be wrong though.

Not every woman is the same.
If my man can't spend on me. He should forget me and move on.. He spends I spend.. That's my motto
I didn't say he shouldn't spend on you. My point is money shouldn't be the basis for attraction. For these guys, their 'selling point' was money and that was their undoing.

The comment below you answered your question. All women are not the same. You entice some with money, they'll never see you beyond your money.
RomanceGuys, Stop Enticing Ladies With Money. by SPEEDEPITOME(op): 5:32pm On Mar 18, 2017
So I went to stay at some big brothers' place last weekend and they talked about their relationship issues. One common point in all of their stories was they spent money on their girlfriends and they still left. One of them started dating a girl when she was in 200l, saw her through school, he even got her a laptop for her final year project and after graduation, he spent over 500k on helping her move to a city and start up her business and that was the end of them. He tried with another girl, same thing happened. All of these guys have similar stories.

When I pointed out that they were probably victims of scam, one of them said ' spending on my girlfriend is normal coz she's my responsibility and that does not make me a 'mugun'.

I then came to the conclusion that these girls probably never liked them but chose to stay with them because they were their 'source of livelihood'.

My advice to the ladies, please if you will not stay with a guy, just let him go. Most guys except few like these guys will punish another random lady for your own sin.

My main advice is to the guys: when chasing a girl, stop putting money first. Try to establish friendship and not the I-can-take-care-of-your-needs attitude if not, you'll keep attracting scammers. Reason being that, you lured them with money and that's all they'll be after. These ladies will go as far as marrying you and leave when they are done with you.

Now, I'm not saying you shouldn't take care of your girlfriend but let money not be the reason ladies fall for you. Show them some other side of you. It could be your sense of humour, your level of intelligence or anything.

Every guy has that one thing that's gonna keep people attracted to them. What I'm asking is that guys should bring something other than money to the table else your partners will keep cheating on you with guys who are 'poor' coz contrary to what you think, money is not everything.

PS: I know there are no straightjacket rules as to how a relationship should be run .
My conclusion is based on personal experience, observation, talk with guys and my recent discussion with these 4 friends.

Adekunle Ajasin university, Akungba Akoko. One of the cheapest in Nigeria.
With less than 200k, you'll run a 4-year programme.
Kogi state polytechnic is relatively cheap too.

You can resume camp before (a day) or after (2 days) Thursday. But I'll advise you go early so you can finish your registration on time and get yourself good kit (Going on Thursday is cool).
Accommodation depends on where you are posted to from camp... Chill till you guys are posted to your LGs (then you can start thinking about accommodation)

See you in Kwara soon smiley

CareerRe: Nigeria University Lecturers' Salaries: How Much? by SPEEDEPITOME(f): 11:18am On Apr 15, 2016
zayidhs:
Graduate Assistant (GA) is the lowest level, it requires only a first degree and is graded CONUASS1 step 2. CONUASS stands for Consolidated University Academic Salary Structure.

The salary including bonuses like housing, medical, transportation and also, deductions like rent, union dues(ASUU), tax, pension fund etc differs from one University to another.

Reason for the difference is most state & a few federal Universities cannot fully implement the salary structure as such, the difference manifests. The salary range is 84,000 to 108,000

Unlike promotion in the non-academic cadre which requires only a three-year working period devoid of queries or serious misdemeanours (though at principal officer level ie PAR, DR, exams have to be taken) academic field requires an upgrade in qualifications (B.Sc/B.A/B.Tech/B.Eng to M.Sc/M.A/M.Eng to PH.D) also, in between are requirements like publications, journals, researches, paper presentations, moderation etc.

In other words, if you are employed as a non-academic staff with a B.Sc as an Administrative Assistant, even if you don't lift a finger(though you have to fulfill some criteria and be graded by your head based on things like punctuality, efficiency, seminars attended etc so it is best you worked hard), in three years, you'll be promoted to Administrative Officer then three years later, Assistant Registrar, and another three years, Senior Assistant Registrar then three years after that, Principal Assistant Registrar before the promotional exams kick off.

But as an academic staff, if you haven't gone on study leave to get your next qualification, you'll still be where you are 10 years later just an increase in steps Eg from CONUASS 1step 2 to CONUASS 1 step 3 with the financial difference only about 2,000. On that note, there are a number of years you can remain on a particular level, either you further your education, or you change Cadre to non-academic/or quit.

Don't expect the salaries to be the same. I know a Federal Polytechnic that pays better than a State University and a State University that pays better than a Federal University.
On point... thanks for taking the time to explain.

Everyone is just throwing figures like hooligans.


Employers don't pay money like politicians. They have a structure for all cadres/grade levels. Post the structure or keep shut
Post a structure or just keep quiet, nice advice. I hope you realize that some of these schools do not have the same salary structure Sir. That's the reason everyone is saying what they know.

Nairaland GeneralThe Road From Only To However By Pius Adesanmi by SPEEDEPITOME(op): 6:17am On Mar 14, 2016
The Road from Only to However
By Pius Adesanmi.
In December 2015, a gay man was lynched in Ondo by folks who claimed that his homosexuality was such a serious cultural contravention that only jungle justice and murder would assuage their sense of cultural injury.
Unhappy that they were not part of the original mob that murdered the gay man, many Nigerians have been making a pilgrimage to the dead man's Facebook wall to curse him and justify and rationalize his murder - when the are not gleefully sharing photos of his bloodied head and prefacing the shares with superiorist moralizing.
The slightly saner among Nigerian humanity are condemning this murder but only after introducing caveats, qualifications, and 'conditionalities' in order to establish a cultural soft landing for their condemnation: "so sad that the guy was killed. I condemn the murder. However, he was gay..."
The coarsening of Nigeria's attitude towards the sanctity of human life is part of the decay of our core that I decried in "B'Aja Ba n Gbo" but it did not start with the "howevers" with which we now qualify the orgies of murder and massacres that have blighted the Nigerian present, placing another question mark on our membership of 21st-century civilization. Before there was however in our culture of qualified reaction to the taking of human life, there was "only" - we started the journey with "only".
Come with me to 1986. The tyrant, General Ibrahim Babangida, was at the beginning of his declaration of war on the Nigerian education system - a war that has been sustained ever since by the Nigerian elite. Babangida faced serious resistance from Nigerian students. During one such student uprising on the campus of Ahmadu Bello University, Babangida sent tanks to the campus. The soldiers were ruthless. Yes, there was ABU Zaria before there was Tiananmen Square in China.
Nigerian newspapers started to headline the numbers of ABU students mowed down in cold blood by Ibrahim Babangida's soldiers. As in all things Nigerian, each newspaper had a different figure. The divergence in figures notwithstanding, it was incontrovertible that students had been killed on Ibrahim Babangida's watch.
The fact of murder was not as important to ABU Vice Chancellor, Professor Ango Abdullahi, as the politics of murder. The man went on national air to complain about the exaggerated figures of murdered students being bandied about in the media. "Only four died!", he screamed and scolded Nigeria. He didn't remember to mourn "only four" of his students that died. Today, Ango Abdullahi and Ibrahim Babangida are "elder statesmen" in Nigeria.
Ango Abdullahi's "only", his privileging of politics over the fact that even one of his students had been killed by Ibrahim Babangida's soldiers, is a significant moment in our long journey to collective inhumanity and decay. That journey would take several turns and bifurcations, leading us to a moral and ethical impasse which makes the definition of a thief totally impossible in Nigeria. In our national morality, one man's thief is another man's Chief.
We moved from the "only" of Ango Abdullahi to the "however" of ethnicity and religion in our national instinct to theft and corruption.
This explains why I, Pius Adesanmi, could go to Nigeria today and rob a bank in broad daylight, certain that there will be no consensus over my action. He is a Christian? No wonder all these Muslims are accusing him of theft! Nonsense! Do Christians steal as much as Muslims? See their Dasuki! Pius Adesanmi carry go jare! Wait a minute, he is not only a Christian, he is also Adebola Adesanmi o. No wonder it is only Igbos and Hausa-Fulani folks that are screaming and calling him a thief! Nonsense! We wii not take eet! Pius Adesanmi ride on!
In essence, once you determine that the thief is from your ethnic or religious neck of the woods, you introduce a "however" somewhere to absolve him and muddy the waters in terms of clear-cut definitions of theft and corruption.
That 'however' is what we have now transplanted from the province of corruption to the province of human life. I have watched in despair over the last couple of weeks as the processing of gory massacres in our national life is subjected to a brutal politics which makes murder uncondemnable without hedging and qualification for so many of our folks. I have watched in consternation as Nigerian dead bodies - murdered by fellow Nigerians - are declared unmournable on the altar of identity and politics.
It is unacceptable that we have reached a low in national life which subjects murder to ethnic, religious, and other identity scrutiny before deciding which human life is mournable and which is unmournable.
The Agatu were murdered. Hundreds of Agatu murdered on their own soil. And you hear fellow citizens introducing however to qualify anything they have to say.
"It is sad that they were murdered o"
- However, why are Fulani herdsmen mentioned in connection with the massacres?
- However, it appears the numbers have been exaggerated.
- However, I feel that my ethnicity and religion are being scapegoated in the attribution of responsibility for the Agatu massacres.
Notice that in all these 'howevers', our friend is yet to mourn any Agatu dead. He is yet to say that the murder of just one Nigerian is unacceptable and should be condemned on the fundamental basis of humanity instead of subjecting it to stupid ethnic and religious forensic analysis.
Pro-Biafra protesters are being shot at and murdered by soldiers of the Nigerian state. You hear the same rhetoric.
"It is sad that they were murdered o"
- However, they were pro-Biafra protesters.
- However, it appears the numbers have been exaggerated.
- However, bla bla bla
From "only" to "however"! My fear is that "however" will not be the end of our journey to inhumanity. Unless we do a serious national soul-searching - we have a National Orientation Agency that is moribund - we shall arrive at a situation of such debasement of our humanity that we shall react to murder with worrever!
Hundreds of Nigerians were massacred yesterday?
Worrever!



Though it's long it's an eye opener. I hope we can read and reflect on this.

3. Connect your phone/memory card to pc and try viewing them, if you don't see them then consider using a file recovery software like recuva ... Note, such softwares work on detachable storage only (memory cards)

Good morning, please I need help.
I used someone's phone to take some family pictures cos my camera is bad. I later transferred the pictures on my phone and I viewed them. Later in the evening, I tried viewing the pictures but everything was blank, the error message I got is 'cannot generate thumbnails'. The problem is that I have deleted the pictures from the phone with which I took them cos I thought it pointless littering someone else's phone.
I ordinarily would have let this go but I don't know if I'll get the chance to take such memorable pictures again. The pictures are still reflecting on my SD card but I can't view them.
Please,is there anything I can do?
