Most women just don't understand the game. When you call another guy in front of the new one you're admiring to make him jealous and chase while giving the impression you have lots of options, the guy will automatically assume you've slept with all those options and sees you as everyone's product.

When I go to the market, I don't buy those garri buyers are always touching even if it's not the cleanest. What if I want to drink it? Garri everybody in the market has touched with their unwashed hands after using the...fill in the blank. I feel they've infected it with germs from their dirty hands.

This jealous tactics only works when a man is doing it on a woman. When a woman does it, only SIMPs fall for it. Real men will leave you, bad boys will still bang you to add to their catalog, but only SIMPs will go ahead with something serious.

A man with lots of options is what every woman wants as their husband, because they want to find out why other women love him so much. (They want to find out if he's from a rich home, rich himself or great in bed).

But a woman with lots of options is scary to men because we feel she could be into hookup with such male attentions. Even if she isn't into hookup, we don't like women with male besties because we know what's up.

If she's such a good girl, why isn't her male bestie taking her seriously in a real relationship? Or, is the bestie not up to her taste? Funnily, this bestie is banging her on a regular basis with no feelings attached.

So, women should wise up. That game isn't in their favor. Use another tactic. I wrote a book for women, but I don't know why I don't want to publish it. It will give them upper hand against SIMPs.

Some time ago, i was in a public place and a lady sitting next to me was obviously staring at me and drawing his face out anytime I turn.

Eventually, she took her phone and started a call with a guy. Discussing over love. I had the feeling the girl was doing it because of me and that it not to drive me away but to show interest in her.

Happened again at the airport. A girl I was sitting next to asked me to get her something politely as i took permission to go get something. When I arrived, she was obviously into me. But then, she brought her phone out and started a video call with another guy. She does it in a way that will make me notice by fire by thunder. After the call, my demeanor changed and I avoided her and I could see the girl somewhat disappointed. From her looks, she was expecting another type of reaction from me.

A lady friend met me and we talked. She wanted relationship and she was into me But then I asked her if she has a boyfriend and she said yes. Then i changed the topic and she could see my interest has changed. So she said it not a serious relationship and she doesn't even know if it a relationship because she doesn't love the guy... She started telling tales. Las las i nor give am line.

These things happened alot. Maybe because they are all up to marriage age. If a girl thinks that chatting or calling another guy would make a guy interested in them, then they need to rethink. Or maybe she just doesn't like me.

What's your opinion on this.

Education / Re: USA or GERMANY: Which Is easier For residency after PhD by TOMSY(f): 5:49pm On Jul 04, 2023
This...
Tainted22:


I am assuming fully sponsored does not mean a scholarship in Germany.

Go do your PhD in Germany! PhD here in the US is 5 to 6+ years with course work and you need to pass a qualifying exam after 2+ years to continue the PhD. It is 3 - 4 years in Germany and you are well paid than the US (comparing cost of living). No course work in Germany, just research. You will be on a work visa in Germany and not a student visa (if you're not on scholarship). In Germany, you have an opportunity of having and training bachelors/masters students who will also support your PhD research work. In the US, you do everything yourself, and it is very very hectic with a lot of pressure to publish or you don't graduate. You don't need to publish in Germany to get your PhD if you end up having negative results. It's good to have some publications if you plan to stay in academia though.

Heidelberg is one of the best unis for medical research in Germany. Immunologist and oncologist are in high demand in Germany. You have a better chance of finding a good job as an oncologist PhD in Germany with ease. English is the work language in most research Institutes in Germany. Heidelberg is a small student town though, so you will move to another city after your PhD for another job offer.
The German PhD is a 'global passport' on its own, you can move globally with ease after.

Stay away from Kentucky. I was in Cincinnati, Ohio for a few months, just 5 mins away from Kentucky. It is very boring and flat there in the mid-west. Not a popular destination for migrants. Kind of behind compared to most states in the US. Most people there are natives (born and raised, friendly but not that welcoming to outsiders. Even fellow Americans). You will have a better life in Germany while doing your PhD than the US.

Your PhD would be highly valued in Germany. And you will become a citizen faster. After the PhD, you can do a postdoc in Academia or switch to industry. Postdoc is well paid as well, compared to the US. Getting a postdoc is easy in both countries though. Working in academia (PhD or postdoc) in Germany is way relaxed than in the US, with better quality of life.

The US is good to pursue a career in biotech after the PhD, but the issue here is the immigration laws and it is very complicated. In Germany, even if you don't have a PR you don't need to go through all that visa hassle. You just continue working after your PhD.

The only con about Germany is just the language barrier and finding an apartment is quite difficult depending on the city. That's not much of an issue.

To sum up, I advise you go get your PhD in Germany which is faster, followed by a PR or citizenship. With that, you can move else where if you want (I highly doubt this).

Let me know if you have further questions.

TIPS FOR NIGERIANS COMING TO GERMANY FOR STUDIES.

Note: these are my views, so don't fight...

For almost three years, in Germany, my advice to a young Nigerian coming here for studies.

1. Learn the Language if you can before coming; at best, start learning in Nigeria
2. Never study a course you are not down for, don't struggle in an area that is not a good fit for you.
3. Do not focus on lager jobs when you arrive. It's a bad deal. I know it may be difficult, but focus more on work student position in a company focusing on things related to your course of study.
4a. I would advise, you take the first six months of your Blocked account-sponsored stay in Germany to intensively apply for a work student position in a company rather than start a lager job from the first go. I understand some of you may have to return the funds you collected from people. If that is the case, start applying for work student positions in Nigeria. Those in IT have a good chance. I have heard of a UNN student working for an IT firm in Germany in a work student position. He receives a monthly stipend of like 1500 euros for 80 hours per month of work.

4b. The most valuable assets you have in your first 2 years here are the Internet, constant power supply and your student status. Many fail to understand the power of this resource. They undermine it or take for granted the opportunity that has been presented before them. Don't spend your time streaming videos always, engage the internet for productive uses. Don't be deceived, time flies in Germany. Before you know it, 2 years is gone. Maximise these resources for your own gain, learn a skill or software, your school may have the premium version software, ask from your uni library or international office, there is numerous software you can get the premium version for free. Don't waste this opportunity, your competition is on a global scale.

5. it's wise to spend your blocked account money with a PETER OBI mindset.

6. You must be intentionally social in DE to enjoy and gain the international student experience in a country like DE. This is because of language and cultural barriers, but if you have attended to point (1) above, you are fine.

7. Covid 19 is over, so you guys would be coming in at a better time than I did. I can't overemphasise that your study is the main reason you are in Germany (at least officially); do well to keep things straight. However, don't miss out on other opportunities, especially travel and continuous learning opportunities (e.g. summer schools, conferences etc.). Some of these continuous learning opportunities are fully funded.
I combine my desire to travel around Europe with learning something new and adding some certificates to my portfolio.
I have since visited Lithuania, Poland, Ireland and other cities in Germany to attend one summer school, workshop or conference. All were fully funded.

8. Build network and friends while in Germany. If this is important to you and your career plans, please consider doing this intentionally. You must be intentional, quiet and wise about it, don't be "standoffish". Germans or say Europeans don't warm up to foreigners quickly, so don't be like that...., its not so deep. I trust you understand what i mean here.

9. In contrast to what you may have heard, appreciate the Nigerian community if you find one in your city. Its a big help in socialising and finding people to argue about NIGERIA occasionally. Your Nigerian community can be of great help. However, do not be petty. Don't bring bad behaviour here. For instance, the Nigerian student community in Darmstadt is lovely, with quality Nigerians who are cool-headed, fun-loving and exciting. We have had many parties that are the pride of black people in this city. We are gracious, LOUD, BLACK, and PROUD.
In summary, we get sense.

10. Appreciate the relationships you are living behind in Nigeria and keep them cordial. Yes, I understand some people feel the need to lock up and ignore people back home. Well, I am not one to tell you how to treat or behave toward your friends. My point is, you may need one or too assistance from family and friends back home. So keeping it cordial is fine. Some may ask you for money because you are now in Europe, where money grows on trees. Well, it's up to you; if you give them that impression, then deal with it: Na, you sabi.


If you have any questions, you can ask them here or drop me an email.

Fellow colleagues, just to draw your attention to the experience I had last weekend (precisely 18th of March) and also get your views.
I came across the above subject matter sometimes early February (last month) and I applied.
Last week, I received a mail from them precisely Thursday, scheduling me for a virtual interview on Friday by 9:40am, and sure, I was seated prepared some few minutes to the scheduled time. I was able to link up with them using the link they gave me. I waited until I saw some other participants came on board as well.
After about roughly an hour, they apologized for keeping us that long, and demanded we log out so we can be contacted one after the other for the interview. We gladly did and that was all until date. No call for me as I sat behind my laptop until 4pm. I made a mail to them, trying to figure out what went wrong but no response until date.
Did anybody experienced same, cos I am so confused.
You didn't inform us when you got invited for the interview?

Hello guys. Pls I have a question. I saw on the checklist for visa application for students that only E- passports can be accepted. Does it mean we can not use the regular international passport?
An e-passport is so called because it is an electronic passport. It has a chip which contains the same information on your data page, so that you can't alter the information on your data page.

Generally, the old Nigerian passports where the cover page has "The Federal Republic of Nigeria" are not e-passports. Mostly, the new "ECOWAS" passports are e-passports.

To recognize an e-passport, you will find the chip logo usually at the bottom. Here's a picture of the logo.

You can use the new passport that is connected to your NIN (Even has your NIN on the datapage). That's what they mean by E-passport.

Please avoid answering questions you're not sure about. You might have just discouraged someone because your own passport has the NIN information.

Hello.
I have just been offered DAAD EPOS scholarship.
I have a 15 month old, during the application, in the column for number of children I filled 1. Though I'm currently pregnant and my EDD is 1st August.

Now for the scholarship, the mandatory language course is starting on 1st August and my course 1st October. Please how do I proceed?

Although, along the line I was asked to submit a statement regarding my plan on relocating with family if offered scholarship.
I replied that I intend coming alone during the language course to find accommodation before my family will join me.
I didn't mention the pregnancy for fear of it deterring my chances of getting the offer.

During the registration on DAAD portal there was no question about pregnancy so I didn't know how to mention it.

Contacting daad on the development are they going to withdraw the scholarship?
Please can anyone with experience advice me on the way forward.

Thank you

You can first explain yoursituation to a DAAD contact person using an anonymous email. That way, you will get a vibe of how serious it is.

BTW. When did you do your interview and when did DAAD first contact you to upload your documents their portal?

AreaFada2:

My brother, it's a major reason a lot of kids do not belong to their supposed father but other men outside. Paternity fraud.

From comments here, especially from ladies, it's about biological clock, women being ready to marry in their 20s, friends, family and Nairalanders will be shaming unmarried women at 30, she married a guy who was ready, blah blah..... shocked shocked shocked shocked

Now the following seem to be the case:

Girls can marry just anyone ready to marry them.
Marriage is a major achievement.
Love has no role in marriage at all.
The woman has no will or power to defy what society will say but just a zombie following others. But a guy should always stand by the woman.
A girl might just accept to marry you as a shaming escape opportunity.
The woman can just leave a guy, no biggie.
A woman can leave one guy and go straight into marrying another man, the former has no right to make pim...
A lady with a guy can be scoping and tasting other guys if one of them will marry her.

Well, if this is what women are telling us we should accept from girls, then guys better wise up. A guy should know what to do and play the game better. He who meets a killer in a quiet, narrow alley must sort himself out and find a way to stay alive.

So let me get this right , virtually everyone came up with excuses while it was right for the girl to move on, not saying some were genuine or not, now when all agree that this is the way most women see themselves in their mid to late 20s, why do we have a lot arguments when people talk of hypergamy, women seeking financial comfort and all from men before getting married , why do we have back and forth when issues like women looking for providers all the time, looking for comfort and rich men all over, why do we have arguements when there is issue of marriage being the only important thing a woman is thinking about in her 20s ?

Here we have a lady that is just finishing school and has not even served not to talk of having a job and independent planning a marriage and y'all feel it's normal and some even said all girls think along such line, the same people advocating for her and giving excuses will be the set to come out to debunk the hypergamy and comfort talk. It is well

No. She really destroyed his life with no commensurate consequence. At age 15, she won $1.5 million for her accusation. Today, the man (Brian Banks) is only worth $2 million. If he were to continue his football career in the space of the 6 years of his life she wasted, he would have been worth way more than that.

If you actually watched football from 96 till date, you will know for sure the CR is not in the class of De Lima. Forget the fact CR is the most expensive footballer today. Ronaldo was a phenomenon, he is the best striker of his time and also today, there's non equal to him.

When talking about trophies don't mention CR. Ronaldo De Lima won world footballer of the year 3ce, he was even good enough to win Euro football, He's the highest goal scorer in world cup history. He became world footballer of the year as early as 20 years of age,

PS IF THIS IS A JOKE YOU BETTER STOP IT. Don't compare them. As I'm typing, I'm fuming.

Good evening and a happy weekend to you all!

I have a question, I applied for my study permit since the 24th of February, and till now I haven't gotten the "eligibility review" update. I applied for GCMS notes 40days ago, and till now still nothing on that one. I've sent countless messages to IRCC, I only get their generic reply. What do you suggest I do? I am really tired of the whole thing.

Timeline
Feb 24th: Application
Feb 26th: Biometrics updated
May 1st: GCMS notes application
--- no NSE request at all

God save us all
Your GCMS notes is taking long because you applied from IRCC. Next time, it's advisable you apply for GCMS notes from CBSA. IRCC may take longer because they handle a lot of applications.

N.B The information from both methods are the same. If the notes are from CBSA, you even get info about your security.

I'm not one of those girls... I've given up on finding genuine relationship.... I just want to hustle my own money and live my life...if love comes..no problem..if it doesn't...no problem...........
When you have this indifference mindset that if love comes or doesn't you don't care, then you'll unconsciously or consciously treat your potential partner in a way that they don't deserve.

The person will either notice it and leave (hence you didn't find love) or the person stays and takes it, and gets disrespected (just like the OP).

Either way, none is a palatable experience. You have to be open in order to find love, not indifferent, because love is hardwork and not just some feelings.

The main problem is that several people, both male and female experience things like this, but in this part of the world, you have too much hypocrites who hide theirs and castigate people like the OP who are open about theirs.

The rest use religion and superstition to make you feel guilty even when the holy book didn't mention it.

OP as long as it's involuntary, don't bother yourself about it.

P.S. Some people will love to tag it a sin, simply because it doesn't happen to them. If they had the chance, they'll write it in the holy book themselves as a sin, whereas they forget the main sins (backbiting, judging others, pride etc.) which they themselves partake in (sins explicitly written in the holy book).

RightToReject:

Genuine love is not the thing that can make a woman, and vice versa, cause you some havoc like this, but your slavery to lust and or feeble-mindedness. Genuine love might tolerate weakness and try to help change it for good to a reasonable length, but it neither condones witting evil deeds nor celebrates and or rewards evil deeds. Strive to conquer yourself.

Servility is as bad as cruelty; eschew the both of them. You can always walk the walk without being hurt and without wittingly being the direct reason someone might get hurt.
