Lolz.

U clearly only know about STEM. He say single HR graduate getting job.

HR graduate has a chance of getting job in Nigeria more than a graduate of Microbiology any day anytime. Do even know that no matter what business u transact in a company or how small the company is; there will always be job for HR person in that company? I mean Irrespective of the field the company operates, they need HR Person. But same cannot be said for a Microbiology graduate.

Almost every food and/or chemical production facility needs at least one microbilogist, and one chemist on site to perform qualitative and quantitative analysis at different points within the production cycle...think diapers, biscuit, indomie, custard, soft drinks, alcohol, drugs, cereals...pretty much all consumables and non-consumables that interface with the body needs microbiology and chemistry professionals doing their thing.

So in truth, there are a fair amount of jobs available for these guys out there. I've not even mentioned the jobs in the health sector, or agric...so there are jobs for these guys. The problem I see is a lot of these jobs don't pay well, hence you'd find graduates from these courses branding out post-graduation.

Na recently HR jobs begin mainstream, a lot of companies still get by without needing HR professionals, or sometimes they just look for some senior admin staff to handle on-boarding and either outsource recruitment, or wing it in-house.

BlueRayDick:
You are making my point for me.

You entered banking because the engineering jobs were not forthcoming as the non STEM jobs. I'm sure u would've wanted to work as a chemical engineer in an oil and gas company but how many oil companies dey Nigeria and how many engineering graduates can they absorb as at the time u were out of school?

I hope u also know that non STEM graduates work as legal officers, compliance offcers, accountants, treasury officers, HR, etc in the same oil and gas companies Sha?

So as STEM graduates dey work for non STEM roles, non STEM graduates sef dey see job for STEM based companies too. It's not a one way traffic

The jobs they're seeing in these STEM-based companies are non-STEM jobs, and they sometimes are competing for these non-STEM jobs with STEM grads.

BlueRayDick:
Lmao 😂

The keyword is decent amount of job opportunities, so the single HR grad getting a job in a structured company doesn't count.

Even using the STEM courses on Nigeria's shit list, you're better off studying any of microbiology, biochem, chemistry, physics, or even Zoology and Botany, than you are studying sociology, psychology, history, political science, ISD, or even HR sef. Speaking based on job opportunities available in these fields.

BlueRayDick:
You know this discussion is actually centered around making money from whatever career path u eventually choose and not just following Ur passion. I don't have anything against STEM at all.

I just seem to believe non-STEM in general gives u that job prospect and financial comfort compared to STEM.

How many non-STEM courses give you a decent amount of job opportunities post-graduation in the course you studied, and decent income while doing so?

Off the top of my head I can think of Law, Accountancy, and Banking and Finance. Maybe you can mention others.

BlueRayDick:
Lolz 😂

But in terms of payment the non-STEM jobs actually pay well. So why bother urself? 🤷‍♂️

You're starting to be to STEM what Ibime is to non-STEM

If you get those highly competitive STEM jobs that are at par with their non-STEM counterparts, I think you get paid just as well, if not better.

BlueRayDick:
Of course I know this, I was only pointing it out to that the only STEM courses that really guarantees u job based on the course u study are basically Medicine, few engineering courses,nursing, etc.

The rest na to follow non-STEM graduates drag the same career u ran away from. The career paths u badmouthed at some point

Of course, but for the conversation purely within the Nigerian context, if you're good enough to do STEM and do it well, it's probably better to do STEM knowing you would qualify for STEM and non-STEM jobs, instead of doing non-STEM and qualifying for only non-STEM jobs.

BlueRayDick:
The funny thing is na STEM courses wey no go make u money for Naija plenty pass.

Popular courses like Fisheries, microbiology, botany, biochemistry, zoology, etc, most of the average persons who graduate from those courses don't get good paying jobs in those fields in Nigeria.

In fact, the top 1% who get jobs post graduation ate usually employed in the social sciences ; you see them later going back to take CIPM certification for HR jobs, ICAN for Aidit/big 4 jobs, etc.

Most of those courses don't really have prospect in Nigeria like that; a course like Biochemistry will fetch u good job abroad, but in a country like Nigeria where u Wan see research work do?

I was referring to a situation where one has the opportunity to study what they apply for and not the one that Nigeria does where they throw you anywhere. But no be only science students dey suffer that lack of jobs in their fields of study...how many persons wey study po science, sociology, psychology, theatre arts, or other non-STEM courses dey really work for their fields post-graduation?

While a fair number of jobs are in the management sciences, unlike STEM jobs that takes STEM grads only, those non-STEM jobs are open for STEM grads as well.

How many million people want become World Class journalist

If 100 people read Journalism, 5 go get Journalism job

If 100 people read Computer Science, 80 go get job

If 100 people read Medicine, 100 go get job

Just like training your child to be a footballer, you can't bank on certain things so it's elders responsibility to guide them toward certainty in life because life is no joke. Only God knows what pains the millions of failed rappers, footballers, Content creators are going through. . . and to a certain extent the failed Journalists and MassCom graduates

I swear, like in choosing a career, you not only look at the top 1%, but also the average person that did that career, how they fare. There are too many things out there for a person to be passionate about, and give their lives meaning...if it's a person's job, great, if it isn't, nothing spoil.

[color=royalblue]Many things have happened in Nigeria that shows we are not serious as a country.

I have finally settled with my spirit that even if you put Obi, Tinubu and Atiku to rule at the same time, we cannot go anywhere.

The same cycle of corrupt people, standards and patterns are just changing places and positions

Person say e be cultist, e even show house wey Governor build for am. How do you expect any change from that kind of system?[/color]

BlueRayDick:
I am not a fan of demolishing properties of criminals but those people don too do mehn. If u follow pages like Naija Confra and AlexoHQ, U will be alarmed at the number of lives lost almost on a daily to their never ending cult wars

Most of the properties he's demolishing are properties of the cultists' parents...what's the logic to that? I even heard it has extended to landlords that their tenants were discovered to be cultists.

BlueRayDick:
@Theflint1 e be like say e Don set between Monday and these people. First he carried out demolition of their headquarters and revoked their C of O. Now he's ordered the arrest of their national leader.

Would u support Monday's administration going forward if he's able to tackle effectively the cultism menace in Edo state with this his approach?

Cc: whodeyhause

Lol, like half the boys following him up and down are cultists...it's purely political.

Even if it was genuine, I don't know why he thinks demolishing people's properties is a way to tackle cultism...it's an unpopular approach to the cultism menace in the state.

Fadedvoiced:
That's it. It's basically throwaway money to most of the guys patronizing her. Although I wouldn't rule out the fact that some fools will subscribe 30k to her out of their 100k last card, but that's very rare.

Yea, for most it's money they can afford to lose, although there are some real nutcases on these online OF girls.

Reminds me of one Discovery ID episode I watched where one guy ran through this parents retirement funds and got in a ton of debt because of his addiction to one of these online girls... eventually when his folks restricted access to any sort of funds for his addiction he in frustration killed his dad, mum, and brother.

The OF girl of course continued with her hustle, while the guy spends the rest of his life in prison.

BlueRayDick:
I still dont understand why any man would subscribe to OF sef 🤷‍♂️.

Pay 30k to get naked picture of a lady you may most likely not be able to bed; fap with the picture and then what? No be sufferhead be that?

For some of these guys, it's basically throwaway money, that's assuming her clients are Yaho° and those Web3 boys Dem. If e even con enter foreign market, $20 a month is nothing really, well, unless they have multiple subscriptions active.

I think OF gets stick because it's virtual, but it's not much different from going to a strip club.

Fadedvoiced:
@theflint

It is an interesting situation, given how much the Internet has made porn available...maybe it's a case of people not knowing where to look, and the "heart" wanting what it wants.

OF subscription is one of the many crazy things men do for women sha, and it's probably not even the craziest of things if you deep it.

Most likely no be the free stuff she go dey give her OF subscribers, plus this thing is sometimes a numbers game...she has over 80K followers on Twitter alone, and I'm sure she's active on IG and TikTok as well.

This exposure this babe is giving about how profitable OF is will cause wahala oh. Trust naija girls to dive into it en mass soon.

Na dem raumdeuter,afrodoc, and BlueRay be prime customers.

Was following the girl before she went full OF, then she was posting small small thirst traps. She said her nudes leaked in Babcock where she was schooling, I guess that was the trigger for her.

Crazy thing is her 21M is like $20 per person for 700 subscribers, it's not even crazy numbers if you deep it, and I doubt she don tap into the foreign market wey go dey pay her better block.

She has a very bright future ahead of her, short window, but she can make some life-changing money if she plays her cards right.

raumdeuter:
Na the cut in fake life be that

One boy hammer small go tear Benz. Shey he no know say maintenance money suppose dey for the luxury car and to maintain his own lifestyle?

Thanks, would check them out.

Once they start dropping swear, know the diagnosis is complete .

A heavy investment has been made in propaganda.

raumdeuter:
My problems with arts is the long texts to read. I used to go to Art classes just because of the girls and the story lines in literature are interesting
My major issue is the attention to stay and read 5hrs straight, if I had an audio book like today, I can probably handle Arts very well and excel at literature

History and CRK na extension of current affairs

Government i attended an SS2 class while in JS2 and I'm sure i could have scored 60% in their exam

GloriousGbola:
How old is he?

Books books books

And educational TV shows and DVDs

Lippy and messy

Hooked on phonics

Alphablocks

Superwhy

Also get the lowest dstv bouquet and lock it to cbeebies and PBS

That is god tier educational stuff for kids

Your pikin will become an analytical thinker

I know Yaba is a popular stomping ground, but you have like a particular place you get these books?

TemporaryHansel:
I believe she's not taking the case seriously enough though. With the way she's going, one of these days it's highly likely she'll come out and say she has dropped the case or they've settled out of court.
If she continues playing with this case I'll never defend a Nigerian woman again in this lifetime. Walahi, Everytime you support a Nigerian woman that accuse someone of rape or sexual harassment, they always end up making you look like a joke and regretting your actions.

DissTroy:
Remember the viral Iniubong Umoren murdered by a guy who tried to molest her while job-seeking in 2021? The guy was been convicted in 2022.

Natasha tried to recruit the deceased girl's elder sister to accuse Akpabio of heading an organ harvesting ring which the deceased fell victim to. The courts and independent bodies already vetted autopsies confirming her organs weren't harvested and her exhuming was captured on video to show her parts intact.

The deceased girl's sister had to do a press release yesterday to counter claims by Natasha Iniubong was murdered for her organs: https://www.facebook.com/100005347028813/posts/pfbid0gzrZcBDJUPtBDxRJPnTHmGDPaqcs29RJTwNayAWHjrGvwr51UgqakzvhKeTg4ndAl/ .

This is the woman you lots are defending?

Other than the girl making these claims, is there any proof that Natasha contacted her, and for the matter in question?

We already have that Prof in the US that claimed she didn't know Akpabio, only for it to be discovered that Akpabio was in her DMs. Is it possible this is another of such situations?

TemporaryHansel:
Btw, @theflint why is Senator Natasha famzing tinubu on tiktok?
She's not taking her accusation battles as seriously as one would've expected. At this rate people might regret defending her oh.

Natasha has always famzed BAT, it's why she came to the Edo election and was shouting about making Edo Lagos.

It wasn't APC vs opposition for a lot of persons, it was more a demand for transparency in her issues with Akpabio.

DissTroy:
Literature and philosophy are probably the easiest. Their subjective nature is exactly why you'd ace them. The drivimg principle of philosophy is nothing is certain or absolute as long as you articulately present a tenable debate to make your points.

All that epistemology and the likes are verbose terms which are only grandiose when examined superficially. You'd knock a philosophy grad out the park if you are grounded in world issues and immerse yourself in ideological concepts as a STEM major. Being in STEM already gives you an edge of templating everything on logical outcomes or being pragmatic.

Literature? Too easy. If your language and cognitive skills such as wits are amped, you'd do well enough.

The Editor of MKO Abiola's Concorde Newspaper who was fighting military regimes is an Engineering grad and did his masters focusing on Microchips technology. He's an older friend in his 70s and ranks higher than countless who majored in journalism. He switched spanners for the pen instantly and excelled.

Hmmm...maybe you do have a point sha, cause Philosophy and Logic in 100 level was a famous stat-padding course.

TemporaryHansel:
Ibrahim Traore has successfully activated propaganda on a continental level, the first of it's kind. We should be happy Tinubu doesn't have access to such levels of pr.

Which begs the question, if you're truly working,is pr necessary?? You're not a business but a country. Any government who focuses heavily on pr is not doing well, therefore using PR to hide their failure.

I agree, or he's using the propaganda to solidify his position ahead of when he becomes an outright terror.
