Meanwhile, we will not support any political party that field a southerner as well. So let's rumble. Tribalistic psychopath mtsww

The earlier you know no northerners will be president come 2023 the better for you.

Who southerners field as president is none of your business. Just have it at the back of your mind that northerners is a NO come 2023

Go and face your north and leave southerners alone

I'm a Lagosian. Do you have something better for me?

hrykanu231:
I experienced this first hand during my M.Sc oral interview in 2013. The names they called my previous school was disheartening, primarily because it was a state school in an area comsiderd academically less developed.
They pushed the narrative further by telling me that, my 2:1will be a very low 2:2 if I had my first degree in their school.

Well, when the interview began, they didn't know when they started clapping. In the end, the guy who had his B.Sc in "wawa" state, had the highest score(82%) and topped his M.Sc class.

That's interesting

PhD holders from public unis can't stand on same podium with you indeed!
Yet you can't differentiate between "being" and "been". You tenses too are wack!
Empty bragging!

A lot of people here don't know anything about the nysc yet they all want to talk.
If you ve served and you want to talk, please recite the NYSC anthem first before your comment.

Youth obey the clarion call, let us lift our nation high, under the sun or in the rain, with dedication and selflessness. Nigeria's ours, Nigeria we serve!!!

She doesn't neccesarily have to see. His comments shows that we still got some few sensible Men out there

I went through hell back in school. I suffered that my friends and some of my course mates had to shuffle food for me at times

I couldn't even afford getting accommodation off campus nor school hostel. I squatted with a family friend who barely feed on it's own. I'm indepted to this family though for providing me accommodation. They gave me roof over my head. I was top of the class despite my condition. I also make sure my close friends all graduated with 2.1.

It was during my studentship i knew i can't joined the bandwagon and indulged in cyber crime. I had course mates who are living large and bailing as Yahoo guys. They literally told me to come live with them and forget I've once starved before.

They owned their ride and live comfortably. They literally live a gigantic lifestyles. Nonetheless, I never give in. Despite the pressure, I never for once imagined myself in their shoes. They'd invite me to their house during exam period to help them with tutorials, but i don't usually honour their invitation. We only meet in school, do whatever we had to do and get dispersed afterwards.

I constantly love taking water to avoid having ulcer. I got discouraged, stressed out and overwhelmed in my final year. I had to work my ass off on menial jobs to pay tuition fees and project work. My Calabar neighbour back then also helped me with food, i was taking his son who's preparing to sit for UTME tutorials. I had the opportunity of using a smart phone ( android) in my final year, this was when my friend gave me hers having gotten a new one

I got relieved and happy when i left school, even though i knew deep down i was on my own. I need no soothsayers to tell me i had much more tougher days ahead. I was just glad living that building called school. Seriously school was hell on me. I did participated in some extracurricular activities, that doesn't make it interesting to me.

I'm out of school now, but no job. At times, I'd be wondering if i didn't made the wrong choice going to school at first. The noble pandemic (Covid) also came in when i graduated and disrupted everything. Seriously i just need a job to help myself and family. I wonder when someone would start living a normal life. This life is truly not fair to all.

Someone that has not been paid for months and is thinking of where the next meal will come from. Why won't he forget?

Why can't they do the needful? Why can't they speak the language the government understand? Why the delay?

I don't think he hasn't been paid for months. I doubt he doesn't know where his next meal will come from. If truly him and his colleagues hasn't been paid for months, they'd use their tongues to count their teeth

Wokenaija:
If you are a sane person be planning your japa from Nigeria.

I am sane bro, but no money

MajorOvakporaye:
Any southerner or easterner who joins the Fulani military is committing suicide. It is better for that person to use himself for money ritual, live for 2 years and leave the money for his family to enjoy. Don't waste your life for nothing

I swear. His family will give him a befeating burial and he'd forever be remembered.

harmargedon:
bro!! A dollar is now 570.

I swear ;

It will get to #600 next week

JimmyDarmody:
They have tasted power and wealth. They know that the moment the poor know what is on the other side of the coin they will be powerless. So it is a duty for them to keep the poor poor. Did you see the news how Dangote will be given $19b loan ? That's how the rich get richer.

Unemployment had skyrocket beyond imagination. Inflation is on the rise. Our currency is nothing to write home about. Insecurity here and there. Things are getting harder in the country. It takes God's grace for me to eat two square meals daily, and the meal itself isn't something special. I'm a fresh graduate, unemployed and broke (3 in 1)

Tell me why wouldn't the electorate accept 2k and cups of rice to vote for any party? They would definitely go for the highest bidder. Someone who had nothing to eat has no choice. Though we are getting wiser now, but what can we do? Poverty is actually a weapon, by the government to get through the masses.

Btw, yeah Dangote had always being aided by the government. His lekki refinery will be completed with the said loan hopefully

JimmyDarmody:
A mentor of mine once said "fight to get out of poverty as if someone is trying to kill you cos without money you have no power and without power you can get killed easily"

So apt

The same poverty the political elites in Nigeria are using against the masses.

I have personally worked with this amiable professor. She is eminently qualified. She knows how to manage organizational resources, especially people. Congratulations are in order. We are LASU, We are PROUD!

Awa omo LASU. Massive congratulations to your master!

"Help to write exams!"...

Has it gotten this bad?

I wonder o

No shame at all.

JimmyDarmody:
Be grateful if you're born into a wealthy family or at least a well to do family cos omo

I'm telling you. Poverty is a heavy burden

Having gone through the comments here, I discovered too many kids on nairaland. Seun need to do something concerning this.

Too many babies taking every issues way too personal

abnot:
Initially yes I regretted but that was probably because I didn’t have a job/income. Felt the NYSC program was a waste. However the low cost of living in Lagos made it possible for me to afford things I couldn’t afford in ������� as my freelance jobs made it possible for me to rent an apartment in Lagos during the nysc year (1.3M per annum in 2014), spend a number of weekends In Abuja/Accra , bring in a pre-owned car from Florida and fund Friday/Saturday night outs . I was 24/25 then and that was what mattered to me. But now thinking about how to buy my apartment, retirement funds, children education and the increasing cost of living i’m considering another break from ��

Are you married now?

Kaiser20:
When I look at myself today I feel fulfilled in life. But when I see the younger Nigeria generations i weep, I pray for them everyday. (Over hustle too much)
I promise God that I will continue to help in any little ways to lift as many youths as I can out of poverty.
The resources and opportunities available for today's youths are limited, unless you have rich and connected parents

That's just it. The rich and well connected parents makes life easier for their kids. I graduated top of the class 2019, no job nor business. I wanted to futher my education and perhaps becoming a licence surveyor. No money for that. The best bet for me is to get a job and run my masters and whataview concurrently. Yet no job. Those who had a job were underpaid. I'm just in a state of confusion. It's looks as if I'm just useless and got no plan nor ambitious for myself. No doubt, almost average Nigerians youths out there are going through the same thing. Some had long resorted to crime to pay their bills. At the long run, some will definitely join the bandwagon. The government ain't helping matters. No access to loan for business or education. You are just on your own. Now tell me, why won't they resort to crime when they had nothing doing. Their goals, plans all shattered just because they ain't from a rich home or connected. Imagine people buying slots to get a government job in our own father's land. My friend who served in LSDPC told me his boss categorically informed him not to over worked himself because they won't retain him after service. He asked why? The boss responded, you needed to know someone out there before you can be retained or get a job here. A bitter truth! Nonetheless, we're just being hopeful for a better tomorrow.

Who says? Of course we socialized and I partied hard in my university days, in fact I don’t think Uni students of today party as much as we used to then. But we always maintained our focus and had much stronger principles at the end of the day. The shame and stigma of failing in school, getting pregnant before marriage or generally not doing well in life was so strong back then that it always kept us in check no matter how much we wanted to misbehave. Kids today no longer have that fear that’s why they busy doing drugs, getting knocked up and dropping out of school anyhow.

Also we didn’t have to deal with what I call the ultimate distraction of this generation - social media. Back then we had distractions but they were not as instant and “in your face” like it is today with smartphones and social media. I don’t see any mind stimulating thing on most of these platforms. It’s all sex and other forms of immorality 24/7. We expanded our minds back then by reading books, watching documentaries and other educational stuff to the extent that I am more articulate and knowledgeable than most kids currently in university that I speak with. Why is that? despite all the easy access to information they have with the internet today that we didn’t have. That just shows you all they do with these technologies is play and debase their minds with nonsense not learn.

Mind you I am just in my mid 30’s, not that old and I can already see the vast decline in the quality of youth we are producing today compared to my university days.

Aptly said.

We mis-used, and abused the opportunities having access to the internet. Their general slangs now is "school na scam." They indulged in all sorts of crimes and atrocities just to make money. Infact, some parents encourages their wards to go into crime. They laughed and make jest of some of us who ain't in support of such. They claimed we couldn't land a job despite our utmost performance in school. Yet, we bent on punishing ourselves since we ressolved never to join the bandwagon and live a fulfilling life according to them. The social media had done more harm than good no doubt. I was in a public bus last week, a man was telling his fellow passenger he doesn't had TV set in his house. The passenger responded why? The man claimed that TV you see, is one of the factors influencing today's generation astray. He claimed there's absolutely nothing good on it aside sports and cartoons. He claimed his kids would live with or without a TV set. Go to secondary school today, you hardly see students who doesn't indulged in boyfriend and girlfriend of a thing. Our tertiary institutions is nothing to write home about that. Our government also are not helping matters. Some TV programmes needs to be ban seriously. Less than 30% of this our generation stand firm. Drugs, cyber crime, sex, porn, bad dressing et al. God have mercy on us.

Limassol:
And who told you teenage pregnancy and young males going into crime was non-existent? History suggests these baby-boomers were as bad if not worst... You think these guys were saints back then, if you do then you've been fooled for real,and seriously need a rethink.

You Can't compare the lifestyle of that generation to this present one, it's a two different thing. Every generation had their bad side no doubt, but this present one is nothing to write home about and worse than past generations. This isn't new to us that this generation got lots of baggages.

ikish:
Please I graduated before 2017, 2016 to be precise am I still eligible?

The instructions says 2017 upward. 2016 downwards isn't eligible

SlyfoxxjReturns:
Things were almost as hard as they are today but we had less distractions. We were a lot more disciplined and focused than this present generation. I can tell you that for free.

You are absolutely right sir

This our generation get as e be. Saw an SS1 girl going out with men and i felt like crying for her

You see a small boy all what he thinks of is money, money, money. How he'd impress a girl with the money

They now see someone who isn't into all these boyfriend/girlfriend of a thing as a fool or perhaps not being normal. This our generation no be am abeg

Kobojunkie:
I was working on becoming on of those when it hit me. Since then, i have taken to giving my brain the rest it wants from me from all of that and more.

Ofcourse they are. They should be in their 50s/60s. Majority of that generation did enjoyed life. Some of my lecturers then told me they all got their job after school. A young man was saying on national TV how Nigerians were doing pretty fine then. Naira is more sophisticated than the so called dollar. Graduates are being employed immediately after school with good pay. Apart from government jobs, different multinationals firm do come to pick them up. I think it was during the 80s/early 90s graduates stopped getting job immediately after school. Now, it's nothing to write home about.

Former Diamond bank had mostly ladies in their bulk room in my branches.

Branch Manager is not just mental. It's physical too. You have to visit customers around to try and seal deals. You go with your account officers and DSAs for storms (mass.marketing). Even the mental aspect is tasking.

There are so many jobs that women take up these days and compete with their male counterparts.

I have a friend that is into renting out and selling of generators. She's called the generator girl. She handles all those industrial gens so well. Women are not sitting back at all these days.

well said

Women are absolutely pushing lately. They ain't leaving any stone unturned. I'm always happy seeing them in all sectors putting their own quota

BRATISLAVA:
Funny. I've met a man that didn't want to learn chess because he said it is hard. And not just him. Some men can't even handle elementary A-level mathematics.

What do we say to that? Can we conclude that men shouldn't be taken seriously?

The way some men conclude on some stereotypes is amazing. Is it that you didn't go to school with girls that you think they can't play chess? Or that you feel they can't just because they are girls? Or that the few you met that have interests other than chess are the standard?

Level the playing field, i.e. remove your stereotypes and unrealistic expectations, and see if females won't meet up if they aren't saddled with gender roles and stereotypes.

Too many kids on this forum.

Don't be surprised some of them might not be kids, they are just being dumb looking down on women

I don't seems to believe all guys saying jargons on this forum about women are kids. Some are grown up guys whose sense of reasoning is woke

They are best described as baby adult

FutureIsFemale:
I judged based on the current state of the country.
No jobs, price of goods high, bad roads, no security, education is poor. In fact everything in this country is upsidedown.

If I see who go take me out of this country I wouldn't mind.

More than 90% of the youths are fed up. No job I swear. The little available ones are underpaid. I must know a politician or top government officials before i can get a FG job in my own country as a citizen

Almost everything is wrong with the country no doubt
