EducationRe: Akwa Ibom Bans Pupils Older Than 12 Years From Admission Into Secondary Schools by WoundedLamb: 5:42pm On Jul 09, 2021
Billyonaire666:
What genuine reason will keep a child away from enrolling in Secondary School when the State Government is paying the fees for them, and subsidizing on school uniforms?

You do not have the entire information, so stop.
You're asking the same question I asked, what's a genuine reason for denying a kid of that age education? The article said "for genuine reasons". What would be considered a genuine reason. And how would the undertaking stop cultism? What happens to the ones without "genuine reasons"?

Your last statement isn't logical. I do not have the entire information so I should stop asking questions? Isn't the fact that I do not have the entire information enough reasons to ask more question?

EducationRe: Akwa Ibom Bans Pupils Older Than 12 Years From Admission Into Secondary Schools by WoundedLamb:
Just 12 years? I'm sure I missed something. Someone should please educate me. Is it that one could be too old to be educated now? Are there clearly stated conditions for exception? I'd like to know what those are cause there are a hundred and one reasons for which a kid could still be in primary school at that age. And what becomes the fate of the so-called over-aged students? Should we pollute the street to protect the school? I could be wrong but I honestly don't see how this is great idea. I think the government is overwhelmed and ideas aren't forthcoming.

dabeto:
Go back and read it well. If you are overaged you bring someone to sign the undertaking for you.

How about this part?
"However, any student above this age with a genuine reason will have their parents sign an undertaking of good behaviour before their admission,” he said.
Ashirioluwa:
“However, any student above this age with a genuine reason will have their parents sign an undertaking of good behaviour before their admission,” he said.
Thanks for your replies though I respectfully disagree with your stance. I read every single letter, guys. I also saw the phrase "with a genuine reason" which you conveniently missed. So you're satisfied with that? To you, that's sufficient to pass a bill? May I ask you what constitutes a "genuine reason"? What reason is not genuine? What are the conditions for exception? What would make you look at a 13 year-old kid and say "no, you can't school again"? Or is it that when the time comes, we'll subjectively decide what reasons are genuine? And what exactly is the implication of the undertaking? When their kids join any secret society 5 years later, you'd arrest them for vouching for them at the age of 13? So those without "genuine reasons" are thrown into the streets just because of the possibility that they might join secret societies in future? In other words, you'd be punishing them for life for the offense they MIGHT commit? Does that sound logical to you? And what happens to the streets? It's okey if the streets are littered with cultists provided the schools are safe?

Let's learn to have an end-to-end view of proposed solutions before implementing them cause the devil is in the details. People don't ask for details and that's why politicians make vague promises and get voted in. It's even sadder when those that ask for details are attacked/shut down.

CareerRe: Between A Musician, An Actor And A Comedy Creator/influencer Which Is Profitable by WoundedLamb: 1:31pm On Jul 09, 2021
This might sound cliché but choosing a field of art based on how lucrative it is a bit odd. This is almost like asking which is more lucrative between drawing and dancing. The question would be how well can you draw/dance? Most times, art chooses you and not the other way round.

Art is not just any business. While luck and intelligence play some roles in this domain, art is mostly about inborn talents. You're far more likely to make it if you're in the field that matches your talents. Again, while I don't totally subscribe to the idea of always following one's passion but, I also understand the role of passion in choosing a career path. So I'd say let your talents decide for you. And if your talents present you with multiple choices, the let others factors like money and passion help you narrow it down even further.

Just an opinion.

Anyway, while the OP has made some intelligent guesses, we shouldn't forget these are still assumptions. So let's always add the "if clause" while criticizing or sharing with others to avoid stamping hypotheses as facts and thereby spreading false information.

Moderators don't make things trend, you do. If you don't like a content of a thread, ignore it. When you consciously run to open it, comment on it and then complain it's shitty, you're already making it trend. It's not hidden knowledge that comments, positive or negative, are what makes any topic trend.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: As A Female, What Skills Do I Need To Acquire Before Going Abroad? by WoundedLamb: 12:00am On Jul 08, 2021
aikyg:
Respect for husband. Abroad gives the average Nigerian woman the illusion that her husband is more like a glorified houseboy. These women throw caution to the wind and go all out to oppress their partners. When the man can't handle anymore, he comes back to Nigeria or quietly leaves the house for the woman. If he makes the mistake of fighting for his right, the woman kicks him out. At the end of the day these women end up sad and frustrated.

However, the women who travel with respect for their husbands end up with a very happy and prosperous home.
Lol... when a man is travelling, we ask him to learn IT and when a lady is travelling, we ask her to learn how to respect the man. Sexism is just ridiculous.

By the way, nobody is a glorified houseboy anywhere. Couples have mutual respect out here; no slave master relationship.

PoliticsRe: Kemi Adeosun Didn't Need NYSC Exemption Certificate - High Court by WoundedLamb:
Really? I can see why political positions are exempted, but are ministerial appointments in Nigeria considered political? If not, why the exemption? I mean, it's a bit bizarre that people are required to have the certificate to work in Nigeria while an office as important as that of the minister of finance can be occupied without it. This is probably one of those loopholes that indicate the need to review the constitution. The exemption must have been implied by the absence of a more explicit entry. That would explain why it took years for the court to say what should have been obvious. Whichever way, it's good learning this bit.

That said, did she forge one as alleged?

*Edit*
Forging one might be morally wrong, but it would be hard to prosecute her for that when there was no requirement in the first place.

IVF is “In vitro fertilization”
It is a complex series of procedures used to help with fertility or prevent genetic problems and assist with the conception of a child. During IVF , mature eggs are collected (retrieved) from ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a lab. .

CrimeRe: 2 Gay Boys Tied, Beaten & Flogged On The Street Of Okija For Homosexuality by WoundedLamb: 3:22pm On Jul 06, 2021

Can't show empathy to wicked souls who corrupt society.


They're raping kids, influencing young girls telling them every girl is bisexual, they also promote drug abuse and general degeneracy.


They're bastard's , i am close to the community so i know, terrible set of humans that should burn in hell .

This people are the scum of the earth, the Nigerian gay's are a shit show of depravity .

Countless examples, i have videos and evidences against these bastard's corrupting young people.

No more online arguments, beat the crap out of them starting with women because the women are d worst, i know what I've seen.
You're just being a typical black African. Intolerance to differences. Otherwise, you would have seen the absence of logic in criminalizing homosexuality cause some gay people are terrible.

We want development, not soddomy..

Get that into your thick skull and stop defending nonesense.

There are no homos on Nigeria, just depraved humans having non conforming sex.

How the hell do 15 girls rent an apartment in lekki and they're all sleeping with themselves in the name of woke, even this isn't normal for gay's, cos this is the shit yall doing.

Another bastard was caught introducing homo to young underage boy's in Lagos, our family friends had to fire him .
There are no gay people in Nigeria? Are you guys delibrately living with these illusions just to justify hurting others? So because some gay people rented a place for an orgy, the sexuality is to be blamed? Straight people haven't done worse in the past?

See, you don't have to like gay people. As a human, nobody can force you to like what you don't like. But you also don't have any justification for hurting them. They are not into girls, flogging them won't change that. You don't force your sexuality on others. If a gay guy does that, he should also be punished. But flogging two grown up men for how they touch each other in the privacy of thier own room is just ridiculous cause it's simply no one's business. There will always be gay people every where in the world. Nature is never constant, so it doesn't make any sense to think everyone must be straight.

Africa is a mess cause of lack of tolerance. It's either religion, tribe, gender, nationality, sexuality, class, etc. And it will never stop cause people are not empathetic. The moment you are not on the receiving end of the discrimination, you believe it's okey. However, regardless of how much education you get, you can never make any meaningful progress until you embrace true equality and freedom for all.
CrimeRe: 2 Gay Boys Tied, Beaten & Flogged On The Street Of Okija For Homosexuality by WoundedLamb: 2:39pm On Jul 06, 2021

Africans don't want liberation. Africans don't want equality. Africans don't even know what human development is. They only cry when their own groups are marginalized but become so mean and close minded when dealing with other groups.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Is It Possible To Apply For 2 Vacancy Roles In Same Company? by WoundedLamb: 1:39pm On Jul 06, 2021
Hi!

I don't know about Nigeria but where I am, the HR would even advise you to look at their list of vacant positions and apply for those you believe would be a good fit. You could even apply for one and they'd still offer you another after the recruitment exercise. This happens either because the two roles are closely related or the candidate has a lot of transferable skills. Therefore, nothing actually stops you from outrightly applying for the two from the onset.

Most HR systems make a distinction between applicants and applications. These two entities have a one-to-many relationship (i.e. one applicant can have multiple applications). I know this cause I have designed/developed enough enterprise systems to last me for a lifetime. The systems are built this way for a reason. Any HR model that's not flexible enough to accommodate this will definitely lose talents. A design decision which has become some sort of an argument is whether the CV should be associated with the applicant or the application. If with the applicant, then you have a single CV entry, and if with the application, then you have multiple CV entries (but don't let this fool you, very different CV's would be considered a red flag).

Caution; do not apply for too many roles, this would make it look as if you're looking for whatever sticks. Do not apply for any two completely unrelated roles, this would greatly dilute your experience in both. Do you not use very different CV's if you're allowed to upload one CV per application, this would reduce your credibility.

You have my best wishes!
PoliticsRe: Igbos Taught Niger Delta A Bitter Lesson With PIB by WoundedLamb: 2:16am On Jul 06, 2021
Can you guys just stop this already? I don't engage in tribal politics but even a baby could see this overzealous attempt to plant discord between certain groups of people. All of a sudden, some awfully named accounts started creating threads about how Igbos hate Ijaws or how Igbo dealt with Niger Deltans, and then some people would come to fuel it. I wonder how you people sleep at night after doing these things. Are Nigerians really this soulless? Do you guys even know how you sound with all these Igbos, Yorubas, Ijaws, stuff? How are you any different from those tribal guys in "The Gods Must Be Crazy"?

FamilyRe: Please "Go And Marry" Is It An Advice Or Insult? by WoundedLamb: 10:37pm On Jul 04, 2021
FalseProphet1:
How?

Guys tell each other even scornfully, and no one feels insulted, even girls tell guys "better go and marry" yet they don't feel insulted, but once you tell it to a girl, all hell will be let loose.

Why?
Telling her "go and marry" knowing quite well that in most cases, she's not in a position to make that move/decision, is enough to get anyone upset. If you tell a guy who really wants to settle down but can't do so due to financial issues to go and marry, he might shrug it off but you've definitely made his worries worse. Nigerians like to think they're just jovial but the reality is that they're just up each other's business. Otherwise, it's really no one's business if someone is married or not. And you'd have to be really close to someone to use that line as a joke.
BusinessRe: Abuja Women Shop At Local Markets Due To Economic Situation by WoundedLamb: 4:56pm On Jul 04, 2021
ubee:
It's not about the quality of foodstuff. There is no level of quality food that doesn't reach the cities - it's about the price. Have you not been paying attention to the skyrocket of food prices across the nation? What we have experienced how the quality of living, and security has plunged in the past few years is unprecedented in the history of this country.
A women who arrive from the city to shop in those villages will probably be from middle class families who often cook for a large quantity of people every other weekend while hosting meetings, events etc. Normally they can comfortably shop from the city markets if cooking for only their families, but can't afford the city markets when cooking for numerous people.
But I never said they were going cause of the quality. The thread already already makes it clear they're doing so cause of the high prices of food items in the cities. I only said they'd also realize quality food items are gotten from the villages. And logically, that's an indisputable fact. Amongst other factors, things are cheaper in the villages cause they come directly from the farm with no overhead costs, and nothing you'd ever get from grocery stores can beat that. Fruits and vegetables take days and sometimes weeks before getting to your dining table in the city. Some ripe under forced conditions while others get infested along the way. We shouldn't even be be doing this comparison. In addition, I also expressed concerns regarding the possible impact of this new development on the villagers.
BusinessRe: Abuja Women Shop At Local Markets Due To Economic Situation by WoundedLamb:
Good for business. The elites will soon realize that quality food stuff can only be gotten in these villages. I only fear the impact of this new development on local consumers. The rich ones would still make better offers than the locals and this may make the cost of things to go up.
CrimeRe: Chidinma Ojukwu: I Tied Usifo Ataga's Hands Before Stabbing Him To Death by WoundedLamb: 3:34am On Jul 04, 2021
Ilekokonit:
The "Murderess" said she and her victim both took Roofies and some alcohol before she butchered him to death and she said he took 3 times the amount of Roofies that she took.

Roofies is the street name for the drug Rohypnol which is used to treat severe insomnia and assist with anesthesia. Rohypnol is 10 times more potent than Valium and has been referred to as a date rape drug. Overdose of Rohypnol may result in excessive sedation, or impairment of balance or speech. This may progress in severe overdoses to respiratory depression or coma and possibly death. The risk of overdose is increased if Rohypnol is taken in combination with CNS depressants such as alcohol and opioids.

Combined with the fact that the Murderess was responsible for booking the BnB (which meant she would have smuggled a sharp knife into the apartment unbeknownst to her victim), she had a drivers license in a fake name and a passport in another fake name, booked the hotel in yet another fake name points to pre-meditated murder on her part and I have a feeling that she would have egged her victim on to take too much of Rohypnol and even she may have also put more of the drug in his drinks when he went to shower and she just waited for the hypnotic sedative date rape drug to knock out her victim and whilst he was in a near comatose sleep from the effects of Rohypnol she took her time to tie his hands and not satisfied that he wouldn't wake up in a hurry she made certain that he would never wake up at all by stabbing her victim who was deep in a comatose drug induced sleep to death and still had the presence of mind to remember his pin number to STEAL FROM A DEAD MAN. There is no way she wouldn't get the death penalty if Nigeria still has it on its law statutes.

Any man that is not afraid of women after this saga is playing with his life.
@bolded, all the kidnappings, scamming, ritual killings, rape case, etc. we read everyday on front page, it didn't occur to you to fear men. Then a case involves a lady and it's suddenly about the gender? Really, sexism makes bright minds seem dumb.
