FamilyRe: The Exodus Of The Nigerian Middle Class Has Started. by trilobite: 9:39am On May 29, 2017
MiddleDimension:
Nigerian Universities are better than universities in the western world that created the likes of Darwin, Newton et al

acidiocis is right when he said the middle class have always wanted to go outside. Poverty, lack of opportunity, lack of basic amenities are not the reason these people want to leave. They have always wanted to leave.
seriously?!! did you read what I typed?!! Nigerian universities are better than what? are you being sarcastic? Patriotism is good, but yours is something else.

I repeat, Nigeria doesn't have the facilities to train some specialists as long as these don't exist, the brain drain will continue. Go to some parts of Nigeria and see one professor lecturing in over 10 different universities. why? he is the only specialist in the that region.

We have enough graduates looking for jobs here, when most of the middle class migrate they'll create space for others who are qualified here to take the jobs they left behind, it's a good thing in my opinion
correction: we have enough inexperienced, unspecialized graduates.
There are a lot of specialized scientific fields we are experiencing serious shortage at the moment. Nigeria doesn't have the facilities to train some scientists, so we train them abroad where they end up getting poached.

I seem to recall the national body for doctors crying about a shortage of doctors. To my knowledge there are a lot of graduate doctors, but there is a scarcity of some specialists.

I could go on but point is no country develops if its best keep getting poached.

As they are here for now, what are they doing for the country? They are of no use to us here in the first place as most of them do not care about being useful to their home land so it's much better for them to go and contribute to their new country, there's nothing to be worried about.

Those of us who care, will contribute our own quota to make things better for our people.
you're off point here. Brain drain in any developing country, is a serious issue.
FamilyRe: Question For Catholic Igbo Men by trilobite: 6:20pm On May 28, 2017
Bezed:
Its funny how your comments and statements fly one sided and also selfish... How can you want a man to keep sentiments aside and go against his values , yet you affirmed you can't do the same... Its simple since you don't want to change your church or beliefs for any man, narrow your dating to only Pentecostal man... You can't tell me that there ain't lots of non catholic man that has got those exact features you see in the catholic ones...since you've known most won't end up marrying a non Catholic, its best you ask any man be4 bringing in feelings into your relationship and then coming back to the same question
well said!! read mind. OP, it takes two to tango.

FamilyRe: Should I Expose My Wife's EX? by trilobite: 2:47pm On May 28, 2017
davien:
Rogovo20 , do you know the most shocking thing you can do to her to make her open up everything to you? Never argue with her, pet her and genuinely love her, tell her you trust her and whenever issues of trust arises tell her that you two are the only constant thing in the union and it'd be a shame if she threw up such genuine love...
Never argue means treat her bickering like that of a child and sideline it..
Be wise in how you approach anything with her.
Eventually she'll start getting closer and try to know what prompted your behavior of her.
you just read my mind

I seriously dont know what went wrong? I have a bsc in geology and an Msc in peteoluem geoscience and yet i have still not been able to land a job in the oil industry since i graduated years back. |It has left me crestfallen and wondered why did i ever go this route and i remembered its because i loved geology and now its a thing of the past. That drive is dead. Now, i am looking for anything to do now just to be sane and keep myself busy from being depressed.
hope you don't mind me asking if you obtained your Msc in Nigeria.
RomanceRe: "I Would Rather Die Of Cancer Than Marry A UNILAG Graduate" - Man Says by trilobite: 10:52pm On May 23, 2017
eee777:
Most Nigerians wouldn't agree with this dude because truth is like a poison to them. Just like Lagos is known for the origin of most vices in Nigeria , certainly Unilag girls wouldn't be different living a very high moral reckless life while their counterparts in other uni follow suit.

If you see what most female students do in school from abominable sex act to normal sex stuff... , at the end, you boys/young men marry a beautiful repackaged certified prostitute while deceiving yourself that "you can't marry a prostitute". Truth is most female students are prostitutes by default. They started it from secondary school & continue till uni graduation.
And after graduation they rebrand themselves. Its depressing but wetin we go do?

Personally I have given up. Retired oloshos everywhere you look. The best thing is to close your eyes to her past if not you won't marry.

So to my future wife: flex, staff well, abort well self. Just don't destroy your womb or get HIV.

*sigh*.

veinless:
to God be d glory ,I am a credit officer
Good for you. credit is a very good place to be.

My advice: do not stop here. it will be stressful but make time for self improvement. Do online courses (preferably foreign), sit for bank certification exams, etc. This is what will make you relevant in the industry.

There are reputable foreign schools that give scholarships for credit training, you can use your vacation time to check them out.

Good luck!!

Jobs/VacanciesRe: NNPC Management Warns Nigerians - We Are Not Recruiting by trilobite: 9:34pm On May 06, 2017
this takes me back to when I still believed in this country.

every day I would go with my documents, same response:

" no space, come back tomorrow "

For close to two weeks I hustled without success, till a staff from the HR department woke me up:

" Oga we no dy recruit for NNPC"

" take your documents to one Oga, he will give to another Oga, that one will now give it to my Oga"

I wept.
RomanceRe: She Can't Cook.. Wil You Marry Her? by trilobite: 3:04pm On Apr 28, 2017
Beamborla:
If you are a guy and can't cook, you have no right whatsoever to condemn ladies who lack culinary skills; even if you can, you don't have the right. Infact, no one reserves the to castigate anyone for lacking culinary skills.

Food is essential to our existence be you male or female as a result, everyone should learn how to cook and should be ready to take full responsibility for making sure his or her tummy is well fed. For those who lack, there are lots of options out there to choose from.

If you can't cook and you are lucky to find someone who can and is ready to slave away in the kitchen, enjoy it. Being a guy does not mean you are ENTITLED to a lady with culinary skills.

No one was born with culinary skills, we all learn and the fact that I'm a lady does not mean i must learn or i must perfect the art. Cooking is just like every other art we learn. Some learn and excel while some don't while some are not even interested.

Any mouth that wants good food should be able to prepare it. Cooking is not gender restricted...just like eating is not.
lol.

"slave away in the kitchen" caught my eye.

This mentality is the reason why our country's divorce rate is going up. Being married means being selfless, putting others first.

You cooking for your man doesn't turn you to his slave or maid, its just you caring for him.

what I disagree with is men not reciprocating this important act of love shown by their wives.

You have no idea what it means to any man that no matter what you face in the day, come night time, madam has prepared something to take your pain away.

Babamide:
This won't work in Africa. The reason behind it is competition. Logically, a man would want to do everything in his power to get the woman and show superiority among other male folks, hence he would propose marriage. But we Nigerian men would just tag the lady olosho.
sorry to disappoint but this post is reality. its sad, morally wrong, but like the illiterate will say "wetin we go do?"

I can bet you that majority of Nigerian husbands today don't know they were rotationally dated by their wives.

TravelRe: Nigerians In Oslo, Norway by trilobite:
niyogeol:
Life some times can be funny. I applied to NTNU last year and I was denied admission. So this 17/18 session, I just re-submitted my previous document on their website, and viola, I got a place for MSc Petroleum Geosciences.

The issue now is that I hold offer for the same course in Ireland - tuition applies in this case but I have scholarship to offset the cost. Another thing is the MSc in Ireland is one year while that in Norway is two years.

Duration is not really a concern, but the chance of getting a job after studies. So my question goes to guys who have studied in Norway, how easy is it for a non-EU person to get a job in Norway Oil industry after studies. I have read here on the monetary requirement for a post study visa. That shouldn't pose a challenge as the scholarship I plan using for Ireland will cover for the requirement.

Looking forward to kind response(s) from fellow nlanders.

Regards.
please what was your CGP?

TravelRe: Nigerians In Oslo, Norway by trilobite: 10:00pm On Apr 14, 2017
StarFlux:
Congratulations on your admission.

Oil in general is gradually being replaced by renewable energy sources. Norway especially wants to be at the forefront as new and better energy sources are being developed. It has become easier to gain admission due to a declining interest in oil-related work (the obvious ethical issues of which more and more people have become aware, innovation in renewables etc.). Norway has seen some pretty significant cuts in the oil industry as a result and a lot of people have lost their jobs as of recently.

Based on that, I'd say the chances of obtaining work are rather slim, but not impossible.
Oga StarFlux, been following your comments and on behalf of applicants like myself i say: THANK YOU.

I am inclined to agree with you as the situation is dire everywhere one looks. However a lot can still change in two years in the oil sector, and i would also advise we petroleum geoscience applicants to consider environmental specializations to be on the safe side.

I have said it severally, though I am not an igbo, the only crime Rochas committed against his people is that he is a member of a party they don't like.
I was there as resident during the reign of Udenwa and Ohakim, I was there throughout Rochas first tenure and I still visit the state till this days. Rochas is working.
an imolite is happily tell you to come to his state and see good things, it is because Rochas has transformed the state capital.
Rochas is the only governor of that state apart from Sir Mbakwe that has at least a physical, touchable project in all the local government.
