As much as I love maths...I support this,not everyone has a sound knowledge of calculation,Back then I use to have a friend in art department who speaks English as fluently as FFK and writes like Agarawu23,Buygala,Naijaboiy,Vizkiz and William Shakespare(Lol) , Give him simple expansion he'd spend hours at it and still won't get the answer, Imagine one having A1 in Literature, Government, English and all the art subject but denied admission cox he couldn't have a credit in Maths......Quite pathetic right?It sounds as much

comoestas:
I agree with him, the president of Nigeria didn't pass mathematics too.. Yet he is running one of the largest economy in the world.

why set standards at all? We are already living in a free-for-all country.

LadyExcellency:
But why should a science or engineering student who had grade A and Bs in Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Agricultural Science/Geography be denied admission because of a failure or a pass in English Language?

Did he write those subjects in Vernacular?

Lmao! Now it's the light skinned ones... Chai! Someone will soon support this "Light Skinned" theory.

LemmeFuckYou:
Lmao... Don't judge the so called handsome guys with just two or 3guys u'v had enccounter with.that's not cool

sapiosexual1:
I'm a very good cook and I do my chores myself (I don't even allow my gf to lift a broomstick whenever she comes visiting). We may be dating but she owes me nothin.. However marriage is an entirely different kettle of fish, we're gonna have a home and not a house. Inasmuch as I wouldnt cross my legs and expect her to do all the chores, it's out of place for me to go down with a lady who can't do nothing, what am I marrying, a s.ex /reproductive machine? If I love her soo much, I would have to send her to a cooking /grooming school, or better still give her a one month vacation with mumsy. WTF

LadyJul:
Why is it that most handsome guys like begging money from girls? Every time they'll begging money and expecting girls to give them money because of their looks....Most of them don't even know how to treat a lady right....They treat ladies like rag and believe they can get any lady because of their looks.....To hell with their handsome face....I'll choose a not too handsome guy anyday, anytime.....

Ecoplexus:
It has dawned on us that Buhari was never prepared to rule even after 30 years of being in the sideline; one would have thought by now that he would have a complete knowledge of Nigeria's problem and how to solve them but the reverse is the case. The quality of leaders we elect keep depreciating after each election; I hope our next president won't be a complete dunce.

i was about shedding tears but when i read your comment i had to burst out in laughter , Guy u wicked!!!!!

alphamodel1:
Pls why don't we wait for the court to convict her before calling her names? In as much as I don't support stealing not corruption, which of our past or present leader will ve the mind of casting the first stone?

i get paid on the 22nd of the next month. my boss deducts our salaries at the slightest issues. things like smiling during meetings, seeing a cup on the table, removing your shoes in your work station, errors made when typing docs, etc. then if you come late or you are absent from work...... thats another story. worse is nobody knows how the deductions are made. once he has done his deductions, he transfers your salary to your account at any time of next month he so wishes. no pay slip, no explanations. what you see is what you get. ooh most times he travels to UK to spend time with his family, while his staff are down here roasting and finding it difficult to survive. before i forget, my offer letter states closure is 6pm, but them no born you well to leave by that time. Earliest i close is 8.15-8.30pm on a very good day. and you are required to work often on sat and sundays. the man is evil, but responsibilities cant make me leave. would prefer i secure something better before i go. so my dear, it is the norm for most private biz. stay strong, pray and hustle for better opportunities.

fisaylab:
What i did then during my own time was that,although i am a man,i tendered my resignation letter and hand over note stated my outstand salary and all his company property given to me.

I told him to sign it and i did the photocopy of all the written document duely signed attached it with employment letter,when i got there at the day he told me to come for my outstanding salary,he turned it to physical but unfortunate for him,i had already put my phone to audio recording and kept it in my pocket.

I took the evidence to police station,all his signed document and audio recording of what he did in his office then,at the end i collected my salary with apology letter.

ujuvals:
I dont know if this is the best platform to express myself but i just want to cry out as there is power in the social media. I am a young girl of 27 years. I live with my dad in lagos, lost my mum 10 years ago and have been sustaining the family for a while now as my dad's business collapsed due to some circumstances. I am a graduate and very hardworking, i have worked in few places in the past but i want to say i haven't been lucky.

I worked with a transport company in ikeja as at feburary and after working for 3months we were asked to stop with no pay on the note that the company was collapsing and they had no money to pay staffers. It was so painful because i live at iyanoba and have to go through a whole lot of stress and pay up to 700 a day for transport to be at work despite we worked weekends. I felt so used but prayed to God to take control and judge them.

I got another job in september at ikeja i didn't want to take it because i had my fears about salary issue after my past experience but looking at the situation at home where they depended on me for survival i had to let go of my instincts and take the job. It was very stressful, the distance, the constant work on the system and sometimes starving just to be able to save up for transport. Despite the distance i always got to the office by 7:30am to resume 8:00am so you can imagine when i leave my house.

When it got to pay time, i was told my boss travelled and there was no talk on salary till after a long while. i also want to add that on one of those occasions i was going to work i was robbed and my phones taken from me, it was so painful but then its part of life. My female boss eventually took pity on me and paid me for September, i told her i would like to stop but she encouraged me to continue with the impression that i was just tested on my patience. I continued work and now halfway into this month of November i am yet to be paid for October.

The worst part is my boss has refused to show up at work, he avoids calls and sends no message. I eventually got across to him with a strange number and when he picked he said he has a lot of issues his going through but i can stop coming to work; just like that. I asked him for my pay and he said no money at the moment i should stop.

I really feel bitter as i have no one to fight for me and worse is i have debts i incurred in the process of going to work. How do i offset them and start again when am practically cashless. My monthly pay is 40,000 and it can't be too difficult for a man his caliber to pay but i feel he just wants to cheat me knowing there is nothing i can do.

Please nairalanders what do i do? i feel so bad, i don't even know what next to do as am so confused.

Why are the employers taking advantage of the jobless graduates and using them? How bad can it be for someone not working and then after working you get tossed in the bin? I want God to intervene but i need help. Please pardon any grammatical blunders and errors, as i am not in the right frame of mind.

Thanks.

damton:
why not. she can go , after all we are partners in progress not just husband and wife.

However, duration must not be too long max 3 years of which I'll either visit her occasionally or she comes home intermittently

cococandy:
Sorry gat no advice for you.

After you pay for the abortion finish, When the time for you to marry reach Na you go first come NL to castigate Nigerian girls about how we are all hoes and done all sorts of abortion and deadly sins etc etc.

freecocoa:
While I agree that it's less than ideal to dress up kids in the manner presented, let us refrain from saying it's "provocative" there is nothing provocative about kids when it comes to pedophiles for feck's sakes, a peadophile is already sick, will strike at any opportunity he/she gets, so how a kid is dressed has absolutely nothing to do with it.

We shouldn't dress kids as adults because they are kids and should be treated as such, it is that simple.

ojehtoju:
Na wa for Nigerians o. We beef and hate for no reason. A blogger buying a house in the most expensive area in Nigeria...thats worth the fuss. She dropped a modelling career to be a blogger, something no Nigerian has done; bold step. Now she is made and celebrating her success, instead of us to learn a lesson from it, some of us are here castigating her. Wetin concern u if she marry or not? Na marriage give her the life she get so? When the time comes and she is celebrating her marriage na una go first say why she dey show off her marriage if na she b d first. She is an inspiration for us all to take bold strides in life. I'm happy for her and I think y'all should be too and stop hating.

Big mansion without a husband is shiit. Don't let hypocrites deceive you.

Go and marry

850m on a mansion and you want good guys to ask you out?

imsuboi:
I'm not surprised you called his mentality ancient. The only thing you Nigerian females bring to the "table" is your wide smelly introitus

Its the only bargaining tool you apes have. Travel the world and see your counterparts excelling in basically all fields (academically). An average Nigerian female like your illiterate self can't even hold a conversation. SMH

free2ryhme:
When a mother abandons her natural role of protecting her offspring especially a toddler,then psychological problems has set in,arresting her shows that our society is still primitive,she needs help and not arrest,it's a shame that we are still at this level

Way-world with our money and family character

.this is one of the most silly post have read here so far, lemme assume that the OP isn't yet a man, cos if you're then u wouldn't come up with this kinda trash u call a post.

are you trying to say a girl u woo cannot say no and mean it?? what makes you think she is forming hard to get when she doesn't have you in mind at all.??
I have a guy that as been asking me out for over 2years now and i have told him NO from the onset but he kept persisting simply because he has a fish brain like the OP , he must be thinking am forming hard to get.
if we don't love you then we don't!!!! you can't force your love on us and if u insist we agree for you then welcome to the friendzone arena, and pls remember not to complain about being friendzoned afterwards

The last decade has witnessed a surge in all
manner of motivational talk in Nigeria.
Hundreds of seminars and thousands of articles
have been churned out by the motivational
talkers and the frenzy continues to gain
momentum. This is good, as everyone surely
needs motivation.

One of the most common subjects of such
talks is entrepreneurship/self-employment.
Good subject. I believe it is good to be self-
employed and seriously craves being one. The
benefits of owning one’s business are pretty
obvious: you are in full control of your
resources (time, finance, etc), you share all the
rewards. Fine point.
Owning one’s business is clearly one of the
best goals a person should desire to achieve. It
even makes you exercise your brain more. Most
of the richest people in the world own their
businesses, their brands. Aliko Dangote owns
Dangote Group (although being a PLC, he
doesn’t have 100% ownership); Mike Adenuga
owns the Adenuga empire; Michael Dell owns
Dell Computers; Bill Gates owns Microsoft;
Mark Zuckerberg and friends own Facebook,
etc.
These guys are bottomless moneybags. No
disputing that. They have done their selves
some good by coming up with some ideas and
making money from them. The
entrepreneurship advocates therefore have in
them fantastic examples to draw from in their
self-employment sermonizing. But that is where
it ends.


The self-employment preachers in Nigeria, good
as their intention is, are however beginning to
go off the mark. And this is where my problem
with them lies. There is a dangerous trend of
demonizing paid employment in the thriving
business of self-employment advocacy. Every
Ade, Ada and Adamu that can string two words
together has turned into self-employment
preacher and the fad is to demonize paid
employment. Being in salaried job, to them, is
slavery.

First, our self-employment advocates
oversimplify things and sometimes when you
listen to them or read what they write, you
begin to wonder why they are not Dangote
themselves. To be sure, I don’t have a problem
with self-employment preachment; indeed, it is
my ultimate goal too to own companies and
businesses too, on full time basis. I also hold
that being self-employed, if one gets it right, is
better than being under someone else’s control.
But is everyone cut out for being self-
employed? Capital NO.


This is why I think in the process of advancing
their advocacy, salaried jobs should not be
demonized. I don’t believe salary job is
necessarily slavery. I also don’t hold that you
cannot be rich with paid job. You may not be
as rich as Dangote or Adenuga, but if you work
hard to become CEO of Shell Nigeria (a salaried
job), for instance, I doubt your next generation
can ever be poor. Not everyone will be as rich
as Dangote, but with a dint of hardwork,
becoming a manager in a decent company can
earn you decent saving, and with sensible
investment (preparing for retirement), you can
live a satisfactory post-salary life.


I have seen some young graduates and
prospective graduates vowing they can never
work for anyone and they will go straight into
entrepreneurship. Good one, if you have the
idea. But managing businesses most times
goes beyond the theories we read in those
materials and the smooth talk of the self-
employment advocates. Apart from the
constraint of raising capital to fund the idea,
there is an even more critical factor in
management. Most times if you have never
worked for any other person, you may find it
difficult in running your own businesses.


Fola Adeola and Tayo Aderinokun founded GTB
after working for other banks; Aig-Imoukhude
and Herbert Wigwe apprenticed with GTB
before breaking out to found Access Bank.
Most of these guys cut their management
teeth working for someone else. This is why I
hold that learning by being under someone
else’s employ is most times helpful. Of course,
I have not said it is necessarily the case. It is
very possible to go straight into one’s business
after finishing school and still go ahead to
make it big. Aliko Dangote is an example here.
He started straight away.
So, oh you self-employment preacher, before
you tell me I am a slave for choosing the path
of salaried employment (for now), know you
that the CEO of Shell is a ‘slave’ to Shell. I
want to be one.

shegsky:
But why is it that only girls are asked to keep their virginity? What about us men, eh? I have read a lot of posts and comments that talk about girls keeping their virginity, and some guys even insult those that are not virgins.

But my question is this: Is it only girls that are meant to keep their
virginity?

What about guys? And again how will a lady be able to keep her virginity when guys are always asking for sex then turn around and
insult her for losing it?
It is not only women that are expected to be pure, guys should be pure as well. You want a lady to be pure, yet,
you won't stop asking for sex. If she still refuses, you try to make her weak in her
defence. Yet, you will come online or elsewhere and shout about girls keeping
their virginity until marriage.. Are we immune to virginity?

Let’s stop asking ladies out, and even when they accept to date us, don't ask them for sex.

Help them to keep their
virginity until marriage and stop putting the whole virginity and purity struggle on them alone!

Just my humble opinion though.

Thanks!

Xaurel:
@op, dude, you met her in her 200l and paid her tuition fees once, and maybe some change, and that's what you call "seeing her through school" ? And so for that she owes the rest of her life to your pompous ass? what's wrong with people these days?

Joavid:
You paid her tuition once. (Which I assume is cheap) and you give her some change every now and then. Ok.

Is that enough for you to say you laboured for her, you sent her to school?

Did she not give companionship in return all those 4years?
Was she not cooking, cleaning and washing for you?

Men and lies.
She's not leaving you cos you're an OND cert holder (that can still further) with a lucrative business.

She's leaving you cos you're an a$$hoole.
