Please I need some inputs on this matter. One of my clients owns a church( He is a Bishop) and has invited me to thier annual thanksgiving ceremony as FATHER OF THE DAY . An envelope was handed to me which I don't have any problem putting 'something' in it that day.
The problem is that I'm not a very religious person and have never attended such event before! My questions here are;
(a) What role am I supposed to play?
(b) What am I supposed to say on that day?
(c) How much do you think I should give in the envelope as father of the day?

When you are in Rome pretend to be a Roman, except you don't want your client to be a customer dadani again

Lazypoke:
We have been dating for five years, and in all these years I have not slept with her for once because she is a virgin. We are in a long distance relationship she is in delta state and am in Lagos, whenever she visits me or I visit her, she is always putting pressure on me to sleep with although I already told her to wait till we get married. Whenever I give in to pressure, I will discover that I body is too tight I can't even penetrate I will just get fed and leave the house. She will start crying that am not patient enough that I should keep on trying. She is 24 years old. She will be visiting me again in Lagos this December and she already told me that it's now or never I must find a way to penetrate her. Am really confused I don't know what to do.

Marriage is not as difficult as we think, just go meet her parents and get their consent. Go to court and tie the knot and you can begin the game men and women do all their life.
Thank God I don't have any woman putting me under stress, perhaps I found myself in such situations I will just free her, sex is supposed to be in the boundaries of marriage

Wonderful write up you posses a resourceful knowledge and information. Thanks for your contribution. Remain bless.

But the question I have been asking since my year one when I was 17 was how can we make economic impacts despite the political instability

Namnam:
From what I understand about that place it’s not really an economy but a massive commercial district the size of a country.

To generate so much revenue you need industry and for that you need energy, even if they’re not directly making any revenue off energy it’s not unreasonable to state that the sheer amount of outsourcing and industry that place needs in order to manufacture the goods and the tools it’s service workers use to keep the state alive vastly outpaces whatever the hell it produces

Tourism alone is enough to make a country prosper, Holly wood and Las Vegas are America's tourist attractions centres and I think they both are in California

Abudu2000:
and to further prove the op right what's a civil engineering, a whole civil engineering student be researching on economics and economies for his/her project works when you should be doing researches on structures and bridges designs, perhaps how to make more durable bridges at a cheaper rate. But no, they sent you on a wild goose chase.

It was not a civil engineering project work, it was my choice to study different things. I have been doing that before I clocked 10 unfortunately I am trapped in Nigeria's quagmire

So you had to quote the OP's post to reply, even as FTC

California – America’s Second Country . No Oil But Richer Than France Brazil and Nigeria !

California is the 6th largest economy in the world. It’s economy is larger than that of France or Brazil. The little problem is that California is not a country. It is a State in the United States of America. It has little offshore oil, yet its economy is larger than States in the US that are famous for their oil reserves, like Texas.


California generates much of its revenue from non-oil products. It found a way to absorb and domesticate much of the intellectual output from its premier university, Stanford University, into saleable products within its economy.


As a matter of fact, much of California’s economy is built around Stanford University. So with this, Silicon valley developed. I’m sure you’ve heard of Silicon Valley at least once in your life.


Now with Silicon Valley came companies like Apple, eBay, Cisco, Lockheed, Hewlett Packard (HP), Google, Netflix, Facebook, Oracle, Tesla… and the list goes on and on ad infinitum.These are multibillion-dollar companies.

The yearly budget of any one of these companies might be larger than the entire yearly budget of, say for example, Akwa Ibom State. I’m taking about companies that are richer than countries. They are all in California. But that is just in the technology industry where the technologies and inventions spewing out of Stanford are caught midair and converted to money spinning enterprises.

But there is also the entertainment industry in California. Yes, Hollywood is in California. The US movies industry contributes about $504Billion to USA’s GDP. Hollywood, as you know, contributes over 70% of that figure. Most iconic movie studios are in Hollywood. As a matter of fact, the “Big Eight” consisting of 20th Century Fox, Columbia Pictures, MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer), Paramount Pictures, RKO Radio Pictures, United Artists, Universal Studios and Warner Bros are, or were, all in Hollywood. These again, are multi-billion dollar companies generating revenue for California.


Despite the above, California also thrives on agriculture. As at 2014, California had nothing less than 77,000 farms and ranches raking in about $55Billion in revenue yearly. It produces over 400 agricultural commodities, a large chunk of which it exports. It is the leader in producing exotic fruits in America. Its wine industry is unique. California wine is drunk with relish the world over. I used to drink some too.


This is just one State in America. You see, California actually had a choice of sitting back and striving to get a piece of the revenue generated from Texas’ oil. It could have depended solely on Federal allocation to survive so that every month end, it will send its Commissioner of Finance to Washington DC to receive monthly allocation so that it can barely pay salaries of its workers and nothing more.


Then San Francisco would resemble Ajegunle in Lagos. And there certainly would not be those beautiful sights and sounds that make California what it is today. But No, not California. Not America. California gives to the center and, because of its wealth, despises the idea of depending on it for survival. The Federal Government actually needs California to survive, not the other way round.


You see, America is structured in such a way that States must look inwards to exploit their wealth for the good of its citizens. There is no free lunch for the lazy States. There certainly is no commonwealth. But there is your wealth, if you can create it. Under American Federalism, you are the captain of your ship. But again, you are also the waves upon which the ship will sail. That is America. The local government, the government closest to the grassroot, is deliberately made the strongest level of government. Items like Variances (adaptation of state law to local conditions,) Public works (yes, public works!!), Contracts for public works, Licensing of public accommodations, Assessable improvements, Basic public services are all left for local county governments to handle.


The State handles weightier matters like Property law, Education,Commerce laws of ownership and exchange, Banking and credit laws, Labour law and professional licensure, Insurance laws, and Electoral laws, including parties and Civil service laws. Items that the Federal Government, the center, handles affecting the States, are actually very negligible.

Nigeria on the contrary will never do well unless we restructure. We pretend to have a Federal system but we are actually operating a unique form of unitary government, and it is weighing the polity down. Can you imagine a country where the school curriculum is regulated by a national central body and states have no powers to vary or amend their curriculum? So, if the rest of the developed world is light years ahead in what they teach their children from primary schools, and our Minister of Education has absolutely no clue, the States must be burdened with antiquated school curriculum until such a time (if we are lucky, before rapture perhaps!!) that we have an Education Minister who would realise how far behind we are and bring the curriculum up to date. Just take a look at the science curriculum for grade students in advanced countries and you would cry for Nigeria.

I recently read of a high school in Japan which has amended its curriculum to include robotics and drones technology. IN HIGH SCHOOL!! But our Professors here don’t have a hang on Robotics even! Students are still taught the very prehistoric rudiments of physics and chemistry in our schools. And this is even in the few schools that teachers and students still meet in the classrooms!


For the few public schools that are lucky to have labs, all you see are miserable nameless creatures trapped in formalin, to which nobody ever pays attention. These creatures suffer a double jeopardy having suffered the first misfortune of being caught and preserved in formalin in Nigeria, and then thereafter completely ignored, even in death! And because the control of our curriculum is central, there is nothing States can do about this.

You would think this is not a problem until you understand that Nigerians spend over ONE TRILLION NAIRA every year to study abroad. You see, the reason why you have Cambridge, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Oxford, etc is not only for academic excellence of the citizens of the countries which have these schools. No. They invest in their institutions so that they can earn revenue from foreign students from countries like Nigeria which has destroyed its educational system. Abroad, schools are so important to society that the economy, business and lifestyle of whole cities and even States completely depend on or revolve around schools. What would the city of cambridge be without Cambridge University. Or Cambridge, Massachusett without Harvard University. These cities depend on these universities to survive. And imagine that Nigeria had invested in its universities and was earning $1billion dollars a year from foreign students seeking to study here, who would be fighting over oil in the Niger Delta? How many car manufacturing companies would we have in Owerri near FUTO where students are constantly doing and selling their research products to burgeoning engineering and manufacturing companies? Recently, three students in Sweden conducted research and came up with a product that could improve wear and tear on tyres. The product became so successful that Volvo had to partner with these students to patent the product.

Now when this product hit world stage, can you imagine how much revenue sweden would earn from these product? Do your research, most of the world-class products we buy today off the shelf, at great cost, were invented by university students. As you are reading this, do not forget that without Harvard University, there would not have been facebook, and this our interface would have been impossible.

But our students In Nigeria are not entirely without inventions. We invented the Pyrates Confraternity, the , the Eiye, the Vikings and what not!! Students resume school with guns and bullets, rather than books and scholastic ideas, as though academic institutions were a war college. Lecturers fly colors as do students. And when the turf war begins, people die in droves. But States can do nothing about this because some of these institutions are controlled by the Federal Government. Even for the ones controlled by States, you still can’t do much because the security apparatus is controlled by the Federal Government. The Federal Government will provide or withdraw security from the State, depending on whether it is happy with the sitting Governor. So every year, all sorts of characters are vomited from Nigerian Universities to take their place in Nigerian society.

So you have Judges, Lawyers, Engineers, Doctors and so forth whose first and primary allegiance is to their cult group, before the Country. The multiplier effect of this, is a treatise for another day.

But suffice to say that as long as this problem persist, let’s forget about Silicon Valley in Nigeria, because there will never be a Stanford University here to provide an infinite supply of ideas and prodigies to feed the invention value-chain!

Nigeria cannot wake up from its slumber today because it cannot lift its head. The entire weight of its existence is concentrated in its head. From the viewpoint of government, the weight is In Abuja. From the viewpoint of revenue source, the weight is in the Niger-Delta. We need to urgently restructure and evenly distribute this pressure points and weights to diffuse tension in Nigeria.

We need to revisit the exclusive legislative list in the constitution and systematically reduce the responsibilities of the Federal Government vis-a-vis the States. Resources have to be handed back to the States that generated them but place an obligation on each States to contribute an agreed percentage to the common federal purse to service obligations of the Federal Government. There is no reason Education, Policing, Prisons (only people convicted of federal offenses should go to federal prisons!!), Ports, Inland waterways, natural minerals, even marriage (yes, english form of marriage!!) and so many other items should be the concern of the Federal Government. We will never develop with such weight that weigh us down at the center. Nigeria can never raise its head in the comity of nations because of the sheer weight of the head.

There is more to say, but scarcely any time. But to emphasis the point i’ve been laboring to make, shall i say again that there is absolutely no reason or need to fight for oil in the Niger-Delta. There are so many things that can bring more revenue to States in Nigeria than oil. South Africa has no oil, but it has Gold, and is richer than Nigeria. We all play a vital role directly or indirectly to contribute to the system that promote both equality and equity, thereby gradually restructuring Nigeria at large.

You made a wonderful post here
I remember my undergraduates days in the late 2000s, I did a lot of research about america most especially their university, being a civil engineering student. It was surprising for me to discover that as at then in 2008, Havard University was the 24th biggest economy in USA. If a university can achieve that how much more a state like California that was open to all as long as you are coming in to create value. In the 1900s California was referred to as the State of Opportunities, everyone were pouring into it even pastors, I remember that Four Square started and became popular right from California.
I want to also shock you sir that when it comes to some crops like Almond among some others, the same California is the highest producer of such farm products in the world

Pls pardon my typos cos am not dat perfect.

I have this girl I have been observing lately and truly I want to ask her out , but the problem is that the attention she gives to me is like Nepa off & on and I dont know how to go about it for me not to look desperate.

You don't ask a Nigerian lady out, may be when she is in her 30s you can but not in 20s or teens. You connect with her until she gives you green light.
Start by asking for a date indirectly, it is like a game get knowing her first before asking her out. Have more engagements first before anything, build on that for like 1 to 2 weeks then ask her out

#Fix_Nigeria

At 1965, Nigeria controlled 43% of global palm oil production in the world �.

Malaysia got it palm oil seedlings from Nigeria in the 60s. Today Malaysia is the second biggest producer of palm oil after Indonesia - both countries account for 84% of the worlds palm production.

The Niger Delta was called the "British oil rivers Protectorate" until 1893, not because of Crude oil but Palm oil.

The question is "How did that sector just die off?"

Answer:

With the discovery of huge Crude Oil deposits in South South Nigeria, the lazy and corrupt Nigerian ruling elites abandoned Agriculture and focused only on Crude Oil money.

#Fact

India is the biggest consumer of palm oil in the world followed by Indonesia. The EU is third.

What Is Phantom Wallet?

The Phantom wallet is the Solana blockchain’s non-custodial wallet.

The wallet is eerily similar to Metamask, a web 3 wallet alternative, and is now accessible as a free browser plugin for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave Browser.

You can use the Phantom wallet to manage your crypto and NFTs, stake, swap tokens, and access DeFi applications on the Solana blockchain.

The company is also working on Ethereum integration, with a beta version expected soon. Phantom wallet, in my opinion, is a real competitor to the popular Metamask wallet.

There is this man I assume he will be in his early 60s in my area that I always see logged in to nairaland anytime I go to the viewing centre, at first i was surprised and wondering if it's really worth the surprise because of the the way things go on here, the bashing, dragging, tribal abuse and insults. Just wondering a younger boy would have been bashing the old man and wont know he is talking to someone his grandfather's age.

Kindly share if you have seen an older person on Nairaland

As if you don't like it. Talk true abeg.

It gets me confused, the carnal part of me wants to get aroused then I remember again that behind the curves are enormous fats and stretch marks

sirjamesjnr:
A woman’s cleavage(breast is curvy) has a powerful allure over men. It conjures up memories of childhood lust and moments of excitement in bed with former lovers. working tools of men get a standing ovation by mere thinking of breast.

While working in the office or arranging one form of business or the other, the thought of feeling my woman’s nipples getting harder is enough to make me break into a sweat while my heart is beating faster. So if I have to visit a rest during an important meeting, menh I do that to avoid embarrassment.
Never say I am a pervert please, I have been a fan of the breast. I was told I suck my mum's breast till I was 3. Imagine that. I wouldn't date any girl no matter how beautiful if she doesn't have a sizeable breast.

On a serious note, I belong to this group of men who believe that a woman’s breasts symbolize her sexuality. Her breasts are front and center when men interact with women both in public and in private. Looking into my girl's eyes. All I could see apart from her beautiful face is her breast. While my eye looks at her eye, my heart focuses on the breast. Don't if other men experience this? I will never go down with any woman unless I have a firm grip and view of her breast. Breast, if it is firm turn me on like a hungry lion.

I have come to realize that a man’s relationship to a woman’s cleavage often starts when he’s an infant nursing at her breasts. It continues during and after puberty when his hormones take control of his emotions and every girl he sees looks hot. Funny enough I grow up in a house full of girls. Cousins and big sisters. Most time when at home, you could see their full breast. Since they are families, negative thoughts won't come in.

As a guy growing up, his fantasies often revolve around taking off a woman’s bra to feel that all-so-soft flesh staring him in the face. Taking a woman’s breasts in his hands is often all it takes to get him as hard as a rock. Writing this thread I am beaming with a smile and I know you reading it feel the same way. Only sadists wouldn't love the finest work of God to mankind. I am talking about Breast in its youth.

To be candid I will like to think, It would be disrespectful to men to deny their feelings of attraction which are very real and pretty much harmless in most when looking or holding breast. For the love of breast may the gods bless us with the breast at every point of our life. If I were to make a request I will like to leave this world while my mouth is full with my woman's breast. Let me not lie, I can’t stand the attention they bring from other men. Men, why do we like breasts so much?
Girls why do you like tempting us with breast knowing it is our candies?
Happy weekend folk. Sometime don't get to serious. It is what it is.
