Na so I think sef. You will submit the topic and it will get approved. After it is approved, every chapter will have a topic which will be approved. After that, you will proceed to each chapter.

Can you compare Nigeria to those countries? Are they struggling with electricity or bad roads ? Should that be our priority?
If not for corruption, Nigeria knows how to manage it's resources. Just look at the cost of governance in this administration and previous one. There's paucity of funds yet you collected over N500bn and shared amongst the Judiciary, presidency and the senate. Nigeria is being mismanaged and it's getting worse
saphiere: Stories of men sleeping with their house helps and even impregnating them is not new to us. Why do men indulge in such act? If you must cheat as you men do saying it's men's nature to cheat. If you must cheat why should it be the househelp?
killsmith: Validates our claim on Yaruba hypocrisy. The Yarubaman is comfortable with injustice and criminality, as long as he benefits from it. They destroyed Jonathan's government when he tried to remove subsidy. But they are now okay with it because it's their brother.
That's one reason Nigeria won't move forward. The tribalism is too much. From N80 per liter to N650. Tinubu inherited N195 and today it's almost 300% increase. This is a shame. Naira has never been this worthless. If anyone protested during GEJs time and are finding excuses for BAt, thunder will come upon him/her.
1.This shows that there has been 8 years of disaster, and the effects of corruption. I have to mention this
2.It also shows the effect of low fees, low fees and did I say low fees and low income.
In 2018, the then VC of ABU Zaria gave a speech. In the speech, he made two comments that I am going to list below
1.His overhead costs for the previous year were 600 million naira. Government gave him 120 million. Where is he going to find the remainder of the money
2.If you want Cambridge level universities, pay Cambridge level fees.
Now, you are free to insult, abuse, mock, call me insensitive, call me the son of a canine, etc.
But our universites are and always have been BROKE. And underfunded. As a result, we cannot do high quality research, pay high quality salaries, and pay for high quality facilites. The hostels and living accomodation are shanties, and the staff accomodation is no better either( by the late 1980's, staff living in university accomodation had to pay for repairs out of their pocket, because the unis had no money)
Back to ABU. ABU's budget was N25 billion naira or 26 million pounds.. Cambridge uni.. 2 billion pounds with an endowment of 9 billion pounds.
Let that sink in.
Let that sink in.
And yet, many people come here and expect our universites to be like Cambridge on such small fees. Expect them to conduct world class research on such small fees.
Nigerians, make we think.
We have these choices.
1.We can raise fees, or let the unis set fees...so that they can earn money and pay for improvements, and retain staff..
2.We can do as Denmark does and pay for free education with half our annual income...that is everyone from Dangote and Ned to the beggar on the street.
3.Or we can pretend university is cheap, and continue to lose staff numbers, and lose retention of people.
It goes beyond APC, PDP, and LP....because this headline...awas the same headline in the 1980's 1990's 20000's and even as recently as 10-15 years ago. University lecturers have been japaing for DECADES. I mean for decades. We don't have enough lecturers, and enough spaces....because we think that cambridge level education costs less than N20000 a year, when it is actually more than 2 million.
But we got to let the poor breathe, eh?
Stop all this selective arguments. Why must you compare our schools to those of UK ? WHAT about Germany, Sweden, Russia to mention but a few that offer free education or pay nominal fees ? Are their schools not still world class ? The truth is that this government is not trying at all. How much is dollar to a naira today ? Compare it to a few months back. Look at the cost of fuel and power. Has minimum wage increased ? If you don't know, things are getting worse. When you give rat fish what do you expect? Forget about tribe and religion and hold your government accountable. GEJ government wasn't as bad as this but look at the protest. Fuel price wasn't this bad but imagine how you guys all came out to call him all sorts of names. You will be a hypocrite if you condemned GEJ but praise this government. We know that people jakpa. But listen it's not as bad as it is today. Funny thing is that you don't speak with facts and figures. This country will head for doom if care is not taken.
Jennyclay: When I mean elderly men, I mean men in their 60s and above. These set of men are the most romantic men on earth. They are the best. No wonder Regina Daniels choose Ned nwoko over Somadina.
Even though it seems like child molestation when they try to make advances but then, they are so caring, they will give you listening ears, they will pet you and carry you like a pot made of clay, they will send you enough money regularly.
But you see our young men, they are so rude, arrogant, broke, wicked and evil. They don't know how to take good care of their girlfriend but they want to experience true love. Mtchhheeewwww.
Recently[b] a guy sent me 7k to take myself out[/b]. E gba mi, 7k? Edakun is it for garri or what? 7k can't even buy my body cream or perfume and he's telling me to take myself out with 7k. I just told him I'm not interested, I don't need his money. Instead for the shameless broke guy to give himself some standard by saying don't worry dear, I can't collect the money back... The broke guy still went ahead to send me his account details for refund. Trust me, I sent him back his money then block him.
Low standard unromantic broke young men everywhere. Shior.
He sent you 7k to take yourself out and not to buy body cream. BTW, was he your boyfriend or toaster ? WHy una no get shame? Just tell us that you prefer to be a sidechick to a rich man than to be a wife. If that's what you have chosen, good for you.
specialofficer: I can't arrest the man,he has money, he has more than 5 houses and you know how Nigeria is, na person wey get money dey win case, if we're to leave the compound by quit notice, yeah he'll give us 6 months to leave but the problem now is [b]the house is really good, big parlour, new house, security and all those stuffs, we won't be able to see a house with that standard [/b]and price, that's why my people are scared of the quit notice, now another problem is because they're women, it would have been another thing if they were men, they wouldn't be scared.
I know I made a mistake by spoiling the machine, it was just because of anger, but I'm sure the landlord's threat was an empty one but my mum and sis are just scared, the man can't afford to lose 6 months rent, that's over 700k
So you know the house is good for that price and you went ahead to fight him? I thought it was in a pathetic condition. Well, you have to swallow your pride and beg him.
Man. U can be a toxic club. See what CR, their legend had to go through. Just imagine what an average player would suffer. Ir's not easy. I think he should leave.
Hubeznigeria: You write beautifully and somewhat intelligently. However, I think that it is the duty of the government to first and foremost build factories and the individual. Even the individual does so by the enablements the government provides. So it still boils down to the government. Moreover, Bishop Oyedepo is known worldwide as a clergyman and not as industrialist. He may have business which have people in his employ don't also forget that. But his primary responsibility is to point men to the way of God not build factory man. The latter is an aberration from his original. I think that we should hold our government at all levels accountable and not any individual. Thank you
He's not an industrialist as you said but he has schools where people pay millions in tuition. One question I'll ask you, is the school running on profit or is it charity? I agree the government has a major role to play in building factories. But when you get billions every month, is it not proper to help the less privilege in the church? Didn't the early apostles distribute money amongst themselves so that no one would be needy? Pointing people to God is not only about preaching. The job of a pastor goes beyond preaching on Sunday and week days. After you tend to the spiritual needs if a man, the next is his material needs. You guys should study the scriptures. For a pastor to boast of how his ministry changes jets but not how well developed his members are it's wrong. For instance, what is the need for spending over $100m to build another structure when such money can be used to develop the human structure? Why doesn't he think of empowering his members with skills, trainings etc that can make their lives better?
turmacs: See the kind of men we hope to cross paths with and marry.. Not some idiots older than 23, yet no car, no house, not even up to 100 million naira in his bank account, God forbid Please if you're a lady and you know you're very hot and sexy, but you don't know where or how to meet real men, men of virtue, men wey their pockets dey flow like water, i have an advice for you, please don't settle for broke people.. Go to where all these big boys stay, like FESTAC, GRA, VGC or anywhere close to you that you know is mostly occupied by rich people.. Start going for jogging in those areas, even if you have to enter transport to get to the place, just do it.. Before you do it for 6 months, you will jam somebody that will change your life forever.. Please don't settle for a broke man, they don't deserve love, let them go and look for money.
BoldBrainz: I even stopped using the bolt platform. The astronomical rise in fares is not something my resources can accommodate.
And most of the riders who have been using vehicles belonging to other people, have since returned said vehicles and sought other means of livelihood.
I had numbers of two very cool bolt drivers. Last time I called them, niggas have returned their vehicles to the respective owners. The other one is even running a POS business now.
.
It's sad. DOing business in Nigeria is difficult. I have to congratulate the business men and women in this country.
hspda: Finding it hard to book a ride self. No much drivers despite the long waiting time.
Bolt should do upward review the fares so we can get enough of them on the roads
If they do upward review, how many people will be able to pay ? A far that used to be N1,000 can now be N3k. WHo will pay ? This increment will affect the middle class and the poor. I doubt if there's any middle class again.
Akindefunminiyi: The meaning of breathtaking is "causing one to breathe rapidly or with difficulty : making one out of breath". So, he should find another job that won't require him to stress himself. Understood?
• I paid commission to exchange my US dollars to Swedish krone! Foreign currency is actually not craved for here like we do in Africa
• Everyone is helpful, nice & kind. Can give up their food for you. Their social welfare system is the best in the world.
• It's a totally cashless economy here. Yes, you actually dont need a paper money. Everything is digitalized including buying anything!
• Everyone works. The bills are crazy so any krones is needed. The Swedes are naturally, big, brawny, smart and strong. So working hard is never a problem.
* Work resumes by 10 am here due to weather changes. I mean formal jobs, not non skilled jobs.
• During summer, the sun doesn't go down. Meaning, there's no night. You can get sick due to body adopting these time changes. My first night i Stockholm, i slept around 1am without knowing its that late.
• Its really stable here. Count your self lucky like me if you have access to Sweden, it takes a lot to get their papers! Their paper can straighten out some shits in your life. I am a testimony.
• Stockholm is an idea City to raise up a child as everything is cool, lovely and good! World class primary & secondary schooling FREE.
• Crime rate is really low. Yahoo, fraud or other social vices can not work here. You will be caught easily as there are traits to everything you do
• Swedes are normally thieves, they are the original Vikings or sea faring thieves of past, so to curb that natural trait to steal, the government has done a lot to ensure everything can be tranced, this gave rise to a cashless, contactless economy that has proved to very efficient! In order words, it has made the Swedes to be law abiding because off what use is it to steal when you know you will be caught? Well, their prison is better than most average homes in Africa!
• Transportation is relatively fixed. For 3.9$ (39SEK) you can get a ride on the bullet train to anywhere in Stockholm for 75minutes. No other fee applies.
• Beside Rent, food, anyone can survive in Stockholm without much of a deal! With a Salary of $3000 per month, you'd live like a king! Especially if you work remotely!
• You don't really need public transport/a car to move around city, except you are hopping from one island to another. A scooter or bicycle would be more helpful!
• Swedes are Innovative, they have customized bicycles to various roles in the house, or work.
• I prefer living in Stockholm than anywhere in USA or Canada.
• The gap between rich and poor is low compared to France or UK. Here the richest man might be that fellow riding an electric scooter, or drinking low beer with you in the pub.
• Most houses in Stockholm do not have physical keys... They use codes type into the door to open. So if you have no business there, you gat no reason
• Almost everyone drives a bicycle, or scooter to move from one place to another.
• Sweden is really expensive to live in, but has one of the highest quality of life you can imagine.
• Everyone drink tap water. It's squeaky clean & safe. pH value is almost 7.0 on the dot!
• I met several Nigerians, most of them left Italy to reside here. They're always preferred before other African nationalities.
• Nigerians here, as in Kigali keep the law.
Thank God for this thread. I once applied to a school in Sweden way back. Didn't pursue further cos of other stuffs. I think why people choose UK or US is because of English. If not, why would i go to UK with all their problems ?
BlackAdam65: no other race on earth finds a black woman attractive an average white man would rather turn gay than marry a black woman quite deceiving yourself you are a lost course outside your race if you were to live in an all white city you would remain single for the rest of your life as a black woman any non black man that marries a black woman did it because he can't get a good woman from his race
. Na gay dey their eye in that case. On the average, black women are prettier. You compare women of the same age group from 20-25, 30-35, 40 and choose. But mixed race is usually the prettiest.
Nsogbu001: Marriage is not by force and no one would force you to marry who you dont want to marry. Why would you come to the public and make it seem that you were forced into the marriage?
Age doesn't make you mature in marriage. This marriage is not a day something. This is someone you will be seeing everyday. If you start like this from the first day, I wonder what will happen as time goes on. Nawaoo oo Take a look.
She is not unhappy. It's part of the culture. WHen a woman is being sprayed she shouldn't smile. If she does, the spraying will stop. It's just a game.
You must learn how to negotiate salary with your boss
Tell them confidently you are ready to work diligently and honestly but a 25k salary needs some side attraction for you to be effective
You have a conversation like....
Sir; due to increase in cost of living 800 daily isn't enough for me to work effectively
Then you go further....
Sir; My feeding cost 600 to 1000 daily My transport cost 200 daily Accomodations cost 60,000 anually
Please would you be open to negotiate my salary further I will be very happy
.
Even 10 years ago, that money was nothing. I used to earn 30k as a teacher many years back. I was able to survive cos I was managing in my family house. I just used the money to buy some few personal stuffs. If I spent a little fot leisure, the money go finish. You can only survive with that amount if you're living with someone.
Effizybozz: As I guy I'm always shy around my fellow guys I don’t know why, im trying to overcome the shyness is not just working I act a little bit feminine but not all that girly tho, I’m always shy that they will monk me or say something I wouldn’t like…
How do I overcome this shyness, it actually ki!!ing Me, im an introvert because of this. There are some guys I’m not comfortable around them, when I’m with them I want them to go, secondly if I see group of guys, I will be shy to pass there… if I walk into a place sometimes and I see lots of guys I will be shy at first, then when I look at their faces, the shyness will reduce a bit
What do I do? Is it normal.. I need advice please from
