Sad. I will be there live


Hey guys, please troop Out in numbers, so that together we can Remember the innocent youths killed by this murderous regime..

Building and burnt buses can all be replaced ( they were all insured) but innocent lives snuffed out and bodies dissappeared can never be replaced or found..


If you didn't turn up, YOU SHALL BE LABELLED AN ACCOMPLICE TO MURDER

Super story

You can always remember them at your closet. Your clout chasing is nothing to write home about

After tomorrow una go wait again till next year again. Una for kukuma dey sleep there till eternity na just to show the love una get for the lost ones

Benwallt:
Clout chasers. Misplaced priority. If the thoughtless organisers used the same energy to persuade the yoots on the need to collect their PVC and vote right in elections. wouldn't that be worthwhile?

Absolutely

Anyway leave them Na, shey be na only tomorrow? After tomorrow they will wait till next year again continuously

My own concern is that this country must not burn down. I have no other country to call home

BeeBeeOoh:
Can't they deploy half of these security men at Lekki tollgate to states like Zamfara, Kaduna, Kastina, Sokoto And Benue or is it that lives of people in those doesn't matter?



Just asking

They have more than enough security men that they can also deploy to those places

As for the embassy thing I can assure you that a school cert holder going with a good verifiable buisness here in Nigeria has a higher chance of getting a visa than a bachelors degree holder going for Masters,don’t take my word for it ask a reputable travel agent you know because the embassy believes someone with a successful buisness here in Nigeria has a higher tendency of coming back home after the program than a bachelors degree holder who has nothing at stake back in his home country than his certification,you have a degree yet no buisness or verifiable work experience dude your chances are slimmer even with both of them having the same amount of funds,it’s common sense.

We have a misconception about education in Nigeria I guess partly due to the economy,after I left the shores of Nigeria to my base,I started looking for jobs but there weren’t forthcoming until I was advised to downgrade my qualification because perhaps even the HR manager that would take a look at my CV didn’t have as much certifications as i did and I would be over employed for most of the jobs available,it was first unheard of for me but trust me that’s what helped me.

We place too much emphasis on university education in Nigeria however it doesn’t work that way in saner climes,like why would anyone have a Masters or PhD and be looking for jobs this caliber of people are supposed to be in the research field as far as they are concerned,you don’t even need a university degree to get a decent job,there are tons of certifications out there,I have seen too many dull graduates in Nigeria what impact has those graduates made in their field,we are still using the same crude equipments been used decades ago to build houses,same ol brick making machines decades ago,same grinding machines used decades ago,how many new varieties of cassava have we developed,how many new indigenous poultry housing systems have we developed,how many startup hubs do we have,how many industrial clusters do we have.

Most just want to be garbage in garbage out certificate holders to earning fat salaries and eureka,that’s all they desire,how many Nigerian universities are even globally recognized anyway.

Unfortunately we are in the AI age,having an IT certification is even looking more lucrative than having a university degree.soon most things would be automated and this degrees would have little or no impact since robots are taking over soon,the corovirus lockdown was just a test phase of getting on what robots taking over would look like,all the degree holders were either layed off or had to work from work home,knowledge is power the certification is just its universal accepted unit so I’m not saying it’s totally useless however the exposure and experience you get in the university is even worth more than the certification in reality.

As for the family of the op fiancée saying they won’t allow their daughter to marry him because he is an ssce holder speaks more of the relationship of the lady with her parents kinda infantile,however the young man should count his losses and move on because if the guy is doing well for himself and with the little he wrote sounds literate enough then he should be good to go for any reasonable family,they have this Stone Age mentality or perhaps the lady is her familys retirement plan.

I don hear you sir They say make i no talk again.

Guy...girls no plenty ooo...
Have u seen the streets lately...na shédì bálábálá girls full outside now.

If I loose the girl I have now...I'm not searching again...

Likewise we have useless and senseless men. We have men what they know best is to sag their dirty boxers, have dirty haircut and sex, sex and sex. The sensible ones amongst us are very few and hard to come by.

wizseller:
At least, we will remember those who were and have been unjustly massacred


Their memories won't be forgotten like that


Also a reminder to our government to brace up to the welfare of the citizenry

Ok

wizseller:
So people should stay quite and take whatever government dishes to them


I now see why history is not taught in this country


Because they don't want people to be aware of injustices of the past.


Sorry to bust your bubble, ENDSARS remembrance will continue to be commemorated for years to come even after Buhari leaves office.


No one is burning any where down



The Police should be on standby to arrest unscrupulous elements not peaceful protestors.


Peaceful protest is an alienable right under the constitution

What next afterwards?

Buckeyemedia1:
What insult, are you not Jobless? Where do you work, don’t you have work tomorrow?

LMAO

wizseller:
Its quite unfortunate how you think

Who doesnt know that it was government sponsored hoodlums that disrupted peaceful protesters and same hoodlums went on a rampage


Such a shame


Since the endsars protest, how much has government done to bring respite to victims of Police brutality across Nigeria

Yes You are right. That's why we don't want any further destruction in the name of protest

Bomave:
We� will protest

Go to your state and protest

Innoson is not average? Where did I mention Otedola. You ignorantly refer to me as young man. Are you older than me? Do you know me?
I wonder whether you have comprehension difficulties because it is not clear what you understand me to be saying . You were the one boasting about yourself and I set you straight
You are just jumping from one topic to the other very incoherently. What has embassy got to do with what I said
The point is simple not everyone needs formal education to do well in life.It is OK for some but not everyone and there are examples like that all over the place

Everything else you are saying is your illiterate interpretation of things I never said.

Please kindly point out where i was boasting about my personal self? Everything I've said so far pertaining to myself as a case study was based on "Instance" please don't quote me out of context. You don't need a soothsayers to tell you that not everyone will do well with or without formal education. Besides, formal education isn't meant to make you rich or whataview. Nothing can stop you from being rich if destined to and have access to the right information. Education has nothing whatsoever to do with richness. Nonetheless, it'd be a plus if one had formal education no matter how little it is

You asked for fact to my claim that people who got education had more opportunities to leave the shores of the country. Didn't you? Then i told you to bring someone who had just school cert and business doing with other person who had a degree and wanting to explore to other countries like US, UK, Canada et al. Then watch and see who US or UK embassy would gladly grant her request amongst both parties. That's a real life scenario i put up there. At least, if you claimed you don't know that those countries are majorly accepting those who had good education and wanting to make futher research through studies and possibly get PR and become citizens with time. Then you can make do with the life scenario i put up there as the fact that you are seeking for

If paradventure you need more input or fact to my claim then you should visit the travel session of this beautiful forum. Google, quora, Wikipedia et al are also recommended to get more fact that you seek

0m0nnakoda:
Not everyone will be an employer you are right.
Not everyone wants to be an employee
I only compared you based on what YOU WROTE> No one forced you to write it
If you want to retract it , fine but you are the one that was making empty boasts

Secondary school education is formal and so you are mis-formulating the issues
You do not know what education is.
Degrees are not what make you educated. Many people have them and are worse than useless. We are living in an internet era and anyone can educate himself about virtually anything
You are AGAIN conflating degrees with education
My point is that a good secondary school education is enough to live a successful life at the highest level and most of the outstanding businessmen in history did not go to university
You claim majority of Nigerians travelling out do so through education route

HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHERE ARE YOUR FACTS?FIGURES
WHAT DOES THAT PROVE?

Not just Dangote but many other Nigerian businessmen of note never went to university.
Innoson, Dantata, Igbinedion

Fashion designers, mechanics, doctors, lawyers, business men/ women, cobblers et al are all vast and well enlightened in their chosen field.

Mentioning Dangote this and that who never attended college and become wealthy is just funny to me. Why then do we have poor people within us who had just school cert or even nothing and went ahead to learn a trade, skill or whataview? Your comparism is baseless because the opportunity those people you are flaunting their names here and there had till thy kingdom come majority don't have it presently and they are most likely not going to have it. That's the reality

There are hundred of thousands of eductionist in Nigeria who had written their names in gold and made history. Mind you, they don't neccesarily have to be amongst the top 100 billionaires. They are much successful in their chosen career. Thus, that had paved way for their generation

You always sound so ridiculous young man. You're asking me to give you fact to buttress my point with regards the easiest route Nigerians had been plying leaving the shores of the country? I presume Google is your friend right? You can also get the right response on this platform

Or better still, bring forth a young guy who had just school cert and venture into business. Then let me bring forth another young guy who had his first degree and wanted to leave the shores of the country

Let both of them meet at the embassy and watch whose request would be granted first

If you must make comparism man, let it be on a neutral ground. Make comparism with those average Nigerians living with us.

Those who had degree and those who had just a school cert and learnt a skill or business are all living within us

Lastly, stop the Dangote, Otedola and the likes that you are parabulating with at every sight. Like i said earlier, we do have successfully education laurels which i wouldn't want to bore you with by listing their names (local and international)

effort1:
1. You don't have to be a doctor, lawyer, pilot or pharmacist before you can make an impact on the lives of people around you and be successful in life.

2. This is the information age, where you can learn virtually anything at home. Even if they don't give you certificate, you will have the same knowledge like the so-called professionals.

This is ridiculous man. Instead of you to put it that not everyone will be a doctor, pharmacist, pilots or lawyers et al.

There are professions that still demands attending the 4 walls of class room man. Even the so called saner climes that you guys always used as a case study to downplay your own country ain't exception. They had conventional schools that people from all walks of life come to acquire knowledge

Instead of you to put it in another way that, there are courses that can be self taught online and needs to be abolished in our curriculum

Please know how best to address issues

Btw, not everyone will become a doctor or lawyer. Also, not everyone will be a tech servy or whataview

0m0nnakoda:
Here is the problem you have ; You do not know and you do not know that you do not know. That is a profound misfortune
Not only is there knowledge in law medicine tailoring etc. There is also knowledge of knowledge; The ultimate knowledge which is finding and employing people who know what knowledge is useful for achieving your goals and getting them to work for you
That is what Henry Ford Did also go and read about Andrew Carnegie, Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Richard Branson, Michael Dell, Steve Jobs

Where does Dangote live? What degree does he have? In your worldview if you are in Festac with a degree you are better than Dangote

The scope of what a person can know is limitless
If you are a lawyer you are probably still not a pilot or a doctor or an engineer. Those things are just training or skill acquisition no different from carpentry, tailoring etc

This is where you failed woefully

Not everyone will become employers of labour or entrepreneurs. If everyone does, then there won't be Dangote, Mark zukaberg, Bill gate today

You sound so ridiculous guy, you're comparing me to Dangote? If you must make comparism young man, don't be biased or sentimental about it. Compare me with a normal average Nigerians who doesn't have a formal education beyond school cert but went ahead to venture into business or whataview

Op is a business man still growing i guess. While the lady in question is a graduate earning little or nothing. I hpe you know majority of Nigerians who are travelling out of the shores of the country today does that through education routes? They could give birth to citizens of US, UK, Canadian et al. From there their next generation become citizens of those countries. That is the power of education

That lady in question can get to that level with the little education she had. The Op can't because he had just a school cert and already downplay having any formal education. He can only achieve that if he's probably rich then his money works for him. Can you ask yourself this question, how many rich men/women do we have amongst over 210million Nigerians?

MALIGNANTGuest:
That's why I frown when I see men who struggled & became successful settling down for LEECHES.

When you become a successful bachelor, please don't compromise your marriage.
Make sure you visit the location where higher classes reside, then propose to any family there.

You are only successful as a young bachelor, you aren't from a rich or well to do family

The difference is more than clear there

Rich families gives their daughter hand in marriage to rich families like theirs not someone who is from a poor or an average home who struggled to break through (indivusually)

You'll most likely settle for a girl from a poor or an average home who also had something doing, though may not be as equal as yours

effort1:
Let's remind your cursed head that this is not the 17th century of Isaac Newton; rather, this is the 21st century, where you don't have to go to school before you get things done and even become an inventor.

Your brain is fixated on the stone age. Wake up to reality of the present age and quit making a fool of yourself.

Interesting

You mean we don't necessarily have to go to school before becoming a gyneocolgist, lawyer, pilots, pharmacist et al? We can just sit at the confide of our house and become a surgeon or learn it online?

Please stop talking sir

0m0nnakoda:
You conflate a degree with education
They are not the same thing

You talk about marrying "your level" . This is a concept that makes sense perhaps in your mind. What poxy level are you talking about.

The most important level in Nigeria is the neighbourhood where you grow up. That is what determines who you know and how doors open for you
If you went to King's College in the 70s or 80s you were better positioned whether or not you had a degree, to go far in life . There are a few other secondary schools with that level of elitist privilege and exposure. Fact!! That is where you learn to mix with elites not by getting useless degrees
If you grow up in Ikoyi degree or no degree you are automatically on a different level from those who grow up in Ajegunle.

At the verge of seeking for knowledge (formal or informal) you got certified I.e lawyer, doctor, mechanic, streamstress et al. Such kinda person can best be addressed as " he's well educated in law" he's well enlightened in automechanic or whataview. The kings college you used as a case study got a school cert at the end of their 6 years mentorship which can be term as education

How many Nigerians had the opportunity to live in an eyebrowed estate in ikoyi, lekki, banana island, VGC et al? Very few fraction of them

If you reside in lekki with just a school cert and i base on the mainland, Festac or isolo for instance. Got my degree in any of the first generation schools in Nigeria with a first class or even a strong 2.1 and well vast in my chosen field. Trust me we ain't on the same level (intellect per say)

No matter how rich you are, if you don't have power then you ain't complete yet

Atiku, Tinubu and the likes are all running to become the president. Not mainly because of the money but power, the affluence, the prestige, the name et al.

0m0nnakoda:
Do you know the meaning of illiteracy?
There are too many opinionated ignoramuses around
Holding very strong and ignorant opinions
Some people will come here to tell us that a person who went to university to study medicine is "educated", a very unfortunate illusion

The Op is not illiterate but they ain't on the same page in terms of formal education

Marrying your level is very key in this life trust me. If not for anything, at least for peace of mind

I'm very sure there are girls that would be admiring the Op around. He's probably not giving them attention mainly because they aren't educated

Some Men are like that, once they had very little or no education. They'd want to marry an educated lady

Let him give those girls chance and go for anyone of them since he already said there's no crime for a school cert holder to marry a graduate

Then it would be an honour, if he go for any of those girls with either no formal education or had same school cert

0m0nnakoda:
Sir did you attend university ? It does not show from your writing

Can you put up what he wrote? You are asking if he attended university? No, he attended Monotechnic

Mumuni

GraciousGod190:
why would I go for Ssce or bsc ?
i go for love, the reason I wanted to marry her is because I love her for who she is, not because of her certificates whatsoever.
we are perfectly fitted since our 4years of dating.

You have 2 options here
1. Go and upgrade yourself
2. Move on

ityP:
You read this thread with an open mind. I wish most people did too. I'm surprised that women are even the ones against what OP said. Like, this is 2021, are women still foolish?

You won't blame those women at times. It's what their aged parents had deposited into them. No matter their education or level of exposure, it'd only take God's grace for them to know

Besides, some might be Muslim. It's a norms in their religion

MALIGNANTGuest:
You talk as if you are the LAW.
MEN have married in the past and recently and still slept with other women.
In Fact some men who indulged in such did all manner of weddingwedding ab initio.
I live in a country where the LAW tends to favour women more, and I have never seen any rule that says a man should be hanged nor jailed for extramarital affairs neither the woman. The WORST that happens is separation, divorce and property disbursement.
I watch divorce court proceedings here.
I have had to attend some.
No COURT jails a man nor woman for such.
Married people are ADULTS.
They can walk out anytime.
Better wake up.
In Fact, a man can be jailed in the US for failing as a Father but not for Infidelity.

I never said the man or woman would be killed for infidels. It definitely leads to divorce at the advantage of the victim to an ectend

My point is, legal marriage has helped women a whole lot in Nigeria and it's also helped some men to some extent.

For instance a man can hide and cheat on his wife without the woman knowing. Some Men would as a matter of fact tell the girfriend not to ever imagined of marriage because his marriage with his wife is binding by the law. That certificate issue at the law court does helped check mate some men. Why? Because they know the penalty and outcome of their attrocity

A man who does just a traditional marriage has nothingto lose or whataview. Men who will not cheat or marry more than one wife will definitely not engage in such no matter the nature of marriage he had

ityP:
I appreciate your fight for the feminine gender,but this generalization makes no sense at all. You make it sound like it's just the husband who has problems in marriage. These DNA fraud cases should tell you things are not as they appear

Yes, if it's the other way round you have every right to file for divorce as well

I just don't condole infidels or abuse whatsoever from both parties

Yes, a woman who bring forth another man's child to her husband deserves more than divorce. Likewise a man who sees a woman as a second fiddle, an option or perhaps his properties that he can toss around deserves same

MALIGNANTGuest:
PLEASE can you explain to me how MEN like me will be dealt with by the Law Court when I decide not to continue with my marriage?

Even in the Advanced world, MARRIAGE is not by compulsion. People get married in the morning and part ways in the evening.
So, I don't know where you Guys get this baseless cohesion theories from.
Worst scenario, properties are shared equally.
But nothing stops you from saying you are TIRED of getting married to your spouse.
TRUMP is a recent example.
MICHAEL JACKSON also is.
In Africa, we rather top up the number of wives than divorce them and nothing stops the woman from walking out either.

IF my wife decides to leave me tomorrow, why should I kill her. I can only reexamine myself to suit her, else she walks out unhindered.
MARRIAGE is not a warfare.

Marry a legal wife and still go ahead to sleep around or marry another one. You will come back here to give us the full gist how it unfolds

You can only ressolve your first marriage before proceeding with another. This is the responsibility and law guiding court marriage

Unlike traditional marriage where some men had abused beyond repair

DEMZEE:
U are a stupor for thinking ur wife is ur equal

Oponu oshi

ode ni e for ever imagining that you are more superior than the female gender

Even my 70 years old father don't reason this way

DEMZEE:
Any man who marries under the law na [b]MUMU

Same as you marrying a Fool as a wife. She'd definitely bring forth foolish offspring [/b]

I guess your mum is too cold and birth cold children also

WHITELIGHTER:
Traditional marriage is still the best....with the negative exposure of this generation of women, it serves right to only conduct trad wedding. Any other form of wedding benefits only the woman. I won't make that mistake again, my younger brother did, now he's dead and the woman has sold all his properties while sleeping around with colleagues even as she was in the morning period.

Oh you prefer the one that would benefit you?

By the way, why using your brother issue as a case study? You are not your brother, your brother isn't you

You prefer the traditional way after your brother demise then your family would come and be dragging the properties with the poor widow and her children abi? What they can't try when the man is still alive

Your family want to inherit your brother say the truth.

TheGreatOne90:
If she wants court marriage, she must worth as much as me

And where is that a basis or yardstick for having a legal marriage?

If you know you won't be faithful to your spouse why then do you marry?

Women only file for divorce when men rub shit on their face. We still have couples who got married legally and till date their marriage blossom without no infidelity or abuse whatsoever

MPESA:
This is trash, abeg na who raise you.

That's the truth man

Court marriage is the best option

Any man wey do anyhow go see anyhow. Shikena!

wizi4tyn:
Sounds like there’s no trust here ooo

Most people that do only traditional marriage do it because of lack of funds. If you speak like this, be sure to finance the other marriage forms 100% if the guy says his money has finished after traditional marriage

Court marriage isn't that expensive. If he can't afford a court marriage then he has no business getting married at first

He should go and work harder like a man and be responsible
