Please i need serious advice now, if you are going to condemn him, please just don't! Here Goes:

I was just on my way back from Brooklyn, when i was in my dorm corridor and saw my roomie's mom walk out of our room in utter shock and resentment. She told me, she wanted to see me in her house tomorrow morning so that she can talk to me. I was confused, i walked in to my room to find my roomie making out with his BF, i mean we all knew he was gay, but no one cares or cared. The boy didn't even hear his mom leave or even come in for that matter. My roommate is just here panicking and scared shitless *he hasn't come out of the closet to her or his family yet* I am trying to calm him down but i know it won't work because his mum is an old fashioned Christian with the whole Sodom and Gomorrah upbringing. So my own in all of this is that, if i go tomorrow, his mom is going to be asking me if i knew and i can't deny it because she will know i am lying, *i mean we live together, how will i not know?*, she may also ask how long i have known and why i didn't tell her and all those unnecessary questions. I really don't feel like getting into her family's drama but i know if i don't go she will vex more! My friends are saying i should go with the boy but the problem is, the boy is too shaky and scared of his mom to go. Please what should i do?I have enough family drama of my own, don't feel like adding theirs to mine.

P.S. Faith, i know you know but don't come here please! i already know your opinion on the whole issue.

queensmith:

have u started uni what year are u in and how much have you spent towards it?

i understand how it is feeling like your on the wrong path but having parents throw thier dreams at you like you must! medicine! phd! masters! internships! doctor lawyer!  its hell and i know!

But depending on how far along you are now it might be a waste to drop it, you can try and postpone uni, work for a year or so and possible continue part time.

a degree isnt neccesary. it doesnt guarantee any sort of prospects any more than not having one guarantees failure. Its all about knowing what you want in life. if anything degrees are no longer what they used to be now everybody has one!

i am surprised free cocoa hasn't accused you too of being me! Anyways, sorry to answer your question, I am in my 2nd year but my main fear is that, I will not end well even though I have started well. I thought of working and even brought the suggestion up to my mum, but she goes you are too young, focus on school. I see where she is coming from with all her investments but she doesn't see where I am coming from. I don't want to finish for finishing sake I want to blaze my trails. But I will stay so I don't end up being like aunty freecocoa over here. Thanks for the empathy, I really appreciate it!

armyofone:

if you are in the US as stated, why not talk with your student advisor for LOA? You can take the quarter off to refuel. girl, don't quit.

you don't think i tried that? i did and she said the exact thing, she said i was suffering from a case of right priority, wrong timing and i believe her to an extent, but the problem is , MUMSI NO GO GREE! you know how Nigerian mothers can be now, you tell her you want to take a semester off she automatically thinks you want to drop out. Abeg i am not even up for that convo with her.

chaircover:

I am sorry but I am not going to pat you on the head. Life is not a bed of roses and there is no pain without gain. Half of the things I learnt in secondary school makes no meaning to me too. How many times do I use Pythagoras theory or fractions in my day to day life? How many times do I talk about Mungo Park or Mary Slessor as a topic at parties?

Education is not just about specific topics or projects but it teaches you other things such as social skills, networking, communication skills,  it broadens  your mind, teaches you how to work on your own and as a team, commitment and so on.

If your parents have supported you throughout your life up until this stage the least you can do is to get that degree so that they can relax knowing that they have given you the best start in life.

The whole world is going through economic tightening at the moment and only the best of the best are getting and keeping their jobs.

Yes many people have made it without an education but somehow in most cases it always shows up. For every Bill Gates or Richard Branson there are thousands of frustrated people in dead end jobs who are probably regretting that they didn’t get that degree.

Most courses are only 3 -4 years, so I will say carry on to the end and if you want to do another course in a different subject that you prefer after you graduate then go for it. Quite a number of people don’t work in the professions that they have their first degree in anyway.

The way i see it, with the globalization of today's world, education is not a thing you have to take sharply sharply. You can continue your credits anytime at NYU so that one is not even my problem. The thing is that, i don't want go through school like people like freecocoa did, i want to come out in flying colours. Its not about how i finish to me but its about how well i finish. For some reason i see myself, towards the end just screwing everything up, all my hardwork and effort gone down the drain and for what? for my mother to come and tell me how much of a disappointment i am to her like i din't already know. I was thinking just save her the heartbreak, money, time and expectations by dropping out. Honestly i don't even compare myself to the people you mentioned so i don't even bother using them to buttress my point on this matter, all that is happening is that i am scared, i hate failure and i hate seeing my mum disappointed all over again with me.

ADEBYTE:

@vivika.considering your last two outburst on the last two respondent,I think you r the cause of your worries. U can not have your cake and eat it. The truth is always bittet.it just that you know what you want for urself but u r too in a hurry to achieve them forgetting about the presure from your mum.I would advice you that u settle your mind and determine why is more important to u.priority
U can not use a single to kill two birds. I would be happy to talk with you on fone if u happy to send me your contacts through biyiade2@yahoo.com

thank you so much! i actually think that what is wrong. I really want to achieve the things i mentioned but the problem is that i don't see how this school is helping me achieve any of them in any way. I have my priorities right but the problem is that i am very sick and tired of people quantifying how good i am in business by the grades i get in business school. The level of competition here is stifling, agreed NYU has an amazing social life but it still doesn't change the fact that you are in NYU!

Metalgoong:

Is this not the same girl who is maintaining her shape so as to attract a celebrity husband . . . Honestly, I think dropping out of school would afford you the time to look for celebrity husbands.

Bia Mr. respect yourself on my post oh! i don warn you now! Yes i am proud of my figure, in a nation where more than 45% of girls my age are obese and i come from a line of fat people, i am very proud of my effort. Honestly i think your low cognitive ability is the reason you just said this, so i will just spare myself the trouble of going any further

I am tired of university, half the things they have taught or are teaching me i find them useless. Sometimes i ask myself why i am in university and i always come up with flimsy excuses. I want to drop out because the pressure from my mother is getting too much that i cannot take it anymore, her expectations are beginning to get me depressed, it feels to me like my entire family sees me as one shinny star that i am not. Some of them are even waiting for me to fail so that they can tell my mum "i told you so". I don't know what to do and i can't talk to her about it because she would just freak out and say NO! please any advice because this whole process is beginning to feel like a punishment to me and its taking a toll on me emotionally and mentally!

I saw this game on a site and i thought it was interesting, so i am trying it out on NL. All you have to do is make a 5word sentence that continues from the previous one. Five words only!
Here goes; I woke up this morning,

@pendo89 people like you annoy me! You guys make me feel guilty after insulting you. Am sorry! It was inappropriate and rude for me to call you absurd. I was just complaining about the mannerless goats on NL and here I was acting like them by insulting a complete stranger. Sorry Again.

pendo89:

I like this JB.
Its absurd to come online seeking advise then hurl insults at people when your ego is hurt.
At the end of the day if your issue is really disturbing seek professional help cz here we learn from each others mistakes,go off and move on with our lives.
Then what happens? u are left hurting.

Let me get this straight, it is not okay for me to reply people who insult me but it is ok for people to come here, where i actually want advice and insult me instead darling you are probably the absurd one

I really hate it when people open their mouths and instead of giving reasonable, sound advice, they spew nonsense out of it. All of you that are saying i am dumb, are you smarter than me? what kind of retards are on this thread bikonu! if you are about to start talking rubbish, CAN IT ! to answer your questions, no i am not dumb, i am studying International Business Management and Accounting at NYU with a GPA of 3.52/4 so i am probably smarter than most of you posting on NL, secondly, my family isn't lacking, they are a somewhat influential in Nigeria *i have a diplomatic passport   *, why a celeb? because i want to! now wetin concern una with this part now? I am not desperate, believe it or not, i come from a very religious family, so i don't plan on getting pregnant outside wedlock,  if i sound desperate to you, maybe i should consider a paraphrase, "I NO WAN MARRY POOR AND UGLY MAN "

Growing up, i always told my mum i ways going to marry a celeb and have 6kids  , so i worked very hard at maintaining my figure*it is even evident* . I am turning 21 this year *whoop whoop* and for some reason i have this irrational fear that i won't marry before 25 because mumsi married at 21. Am i being unreasonable with my fear? Because i have 4 aunties who are in their late 30s and not married and about 3 more who married in their mid/late 30s. I don't want to be like them, but i also want to marry a celeb. Any advice?

I received a wrench from my granddad who thought it was time i picked up his plumbing skills being that i was born into a family of 6boys

Dear Mr. President: We should say Merry Christmas but we are not your government, we are not in the business of deception. After almost ten hours of gathering your thoughts to speak on the bomb blasts that rocked the nation yesterday, you still fell short of your own very low standards.

What did you intend to say when you said Bomb Blasts are a burden we must live with? Why do you bother to budget over a trillion for security if we must live with the burden of insecurity? How come you are still a president? We do not blame you, we blame our older ones who were stupid enough to think that where you come from and your religion was all you needed to be a competent president.

They are crying now. We all cried yesterday on the darkest Christmas day of our short lives.
While we cried and left Christmas postponed for another year, we watched as you danced your life away like there was no tomorrow. Is it true that all you care about is the fact that you are the president so whatever can happen should happen. Last night we prayed for you. We prayed that the white men should be able to make common sense so that we can budget for it and then you will have it in abundance. As it is, it is obvious sir that you are grossly lacking in common sense.
If you weren’t, you would never come out to tell a mourning nation that it should get ready to live with the burden of destruction and insecurity. That was utterly insensitive and even the dumbest of our mates, fellow Nigerian children would never descend that low to an unprecedented level of cluelessness.

We understand this is not a sane country, if this was a sane country, your ilk will not be in a job. Your security chiefs, yourself and your cabinet would have been throwing resignation letters left right and centre. But then, here is a place where people are satisfied with just being in positions, that they are clueless about what to do in such positions does not matter.

Mr. President, Boko Haram defeated you in 2011. What plans are you making for 2012? Do you realise they have since improved while your security tactics remain stop and search? Do you realise they are far more coordinated than ever before? Have you thought of engaging more intelligence in curbing this menace instead of just mere brute? Yes, you have issues with concentrating for long, why not budget for a concentrator? That way you are conditioned to at least focus on being the president of Nigeria instead of our national chief chef? You are wondering where that came from? It came from cassava bread sir. You chose the menu for 2012 but we hope you realise that Boko Haram certainly has a menu.

Please Mr. President, they will look to attack again in the New Year, do what you have never done before, get your security chiefs to prevent that by all means. Contrary to your assertion, we are not prepared to live with the burden of bomb blasts. Get yourself to work and stop excusing your inability to deal with Boko Haram on the premise that they are a necessity. What is that? If you cannot lead and be a president, help yourself and resign. Please take your vice-president along. You are a twin set of incompetence.

This letter has been written with kind words, not because we are in the mood to be nice to you but because we are children and respect is a value we want to live with but our lack of it sometimes is a burden you must live with as long as you force us to live with your Boko Haram burden.

We wrote you a letter on subsidy yesterday but we figured it would be better to send this before you get our other letter. As long as your cluelessness reigns supreme in this country, we will always remind you of our angst and stake in this nation. It is not by force to live in Aso Rock. So if you must, do the right things, say the right things and learn to get the basic things right.

The Bomb Blasts darkened our Christmas but your response dampened our mood even further. This is not the way to lead a people. If you need help, we will nominate one of us to offer you words of wisdom for free. As it is, you look overwhelmed by the mere job of providing security for Nigeria let alone the other duties you swore to carry out for Nigeria.

Action point: Sack yourself sir, and take Arc. Namadi Sambo along. It is a good place to start.

I personally don't think kids wrote this, some of you may agree. But oh well, good read

@obowunmi, yes it is mine, why are your eyes popping out? haven't you ever seen a fine girl before?
@nomsochris, thanl you for your reply, you have helped me see reason to marry rich jor! it is a lot easier!

Forgive my use of a derogatory term, but are we cowardsEveryone sits there and criticizes the govt, GEJ, BH and the whole rank and file of them, why haven't we organised a revolution like the Tunis, Egyptians and Libyans to remove all these nonentities from power and instill the fear of "God" in the upcoming politicians? Why are we so quick to talk and slow to respond? Why are we not doing anything about this? I saw the pictures of the Christmas day bombings and i was expecting to see an immediate response to this brutality, but all i see are people sitting down behind the safety of their computers and venting! Why haven't we done something yet? Please people answer me, because i think we are all just too cowardly to risk our lives for what we believe in. 

Lol! so in ur opinion they all marry for wealth?

I thought this was an interesting topic so I decided to bring it to NL, according to Linda Ikeji, most rich Nigerians only marry people of similar class, she cited examples like "the Onirus marrying the Tinubus. The Odogwus marrying the Subomi-Baloguns. The Adenugas marrying the Dangotes. The Okoyas marrying the Sarakis. The Ojoras marrying the Folawiyos. The  Kukus marrying the Fowlers. Etc etc" Most of the comments was that, it is either a merger for both families or its arrogance on their paths.  i personally doubt it, i think it is all about the mentality, rich people marry rich  because they believe they operate on the same level of intellect, experience or class. I mean, imagine this, a rich girl marrying an average man and hearing him go "it is because you are an ajebota thats why you won't understand" or a rich guy talking to his friends and his wife goes "ah! too much money they worry una!", to me the difference in levels may become stifling for both parties in the long run. So these people may just want to avoid the whole wahala! WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK! OBJECTIVE RESPONSES ONLY!

But, But, But, Islam is a peaceful religion? Yeah Right! And Pigs Fly!
