Date someone that share your goals and belief. I've seen guys that dated without having sex till marriage. It should be one of the thing u guys discuss before dating.
Rosement:
I'm a virgin, I don't want to have sex until my wedding night. I'm a Nigerian but my bf is a white guy, he told me he loves and he wants to marry me but he wants us to start having sex while we are dating. I tired of breaking up for this same reason. What do I do?

Properties / Re: Why Don't Builders Use Steel In Nigeria? by Danobb: 5:19am On Dec 21, 2020
Who told you steel is cheaper? Why spend that much money when other alternative materials can be used to accomplish the job. Most buildings collapse because of the sub standard materials used by contractor and not working to site plan. E.g you will see a contractor using 1 cement, 7 sand and 9 granite (1:7:9) for slab and columns when he should use 1:2:4 and some will use 10mm reinforcement instead of 16mm, in such situation the building will collapse. Also, quality check is not carried. There are a lot of examples and scenarios.
Aconomist:
We all know how common building collapse is in Nigeria, and this occurs because of our bad habit of building multi-storey buildings with concrete. In other parts of the world they are using steel, which is a far superior building material because it is lighter (doesn't put as much strain on the foundation) cheaper than Dangote cement, and requires less maintenance.

While steel needs to be imported, healthy demand would create a market incentive for domestic production. We need to start using creativity to solve our problem in Africa.

Education / Re: Covenant University Officially Responds To Transcript Controversy by Danobb: 3:10am On Dec 17, 2020
To the best of my knowledge covenant Uni. Don't delay in sending out their transcript if you follow the steps they outline to you. I have requested for mine more than 5 times and they always send it through. I don't need to call anyone just send an email and they will respond.

I can assure you, if VC's daughter has the same challenge, it won't take the school up to six (6) to sort it out.

Agriculture / Re: GBFoods Completes ₦20billion Tomato Processing Factory In Kebbi State by Danobb: 12:39pm On Jun 20, 2020
I can't see any factory; just a machine in an open space.
postbox:
Multinational culinary product manufacturer GBfoods has commissioned the recently completed tomato processing factory in northwestern Nigeria, the company said Monday. The ₦20 billion plant, located in Kebbi State, was built in partnership with the Central Bank of Nigeria, Kebbi State Government, and the Emirate of Yauri.

“The commissioning of this processing factory is a great milestone for us,” said Vincent Egbe, Country Manager of GBfoods Nigeria, owners of popular brands Gino, Bama, and Jago. “It further demonstrates the company’s commitment towards helping Nigeria achieve its food security ambitions, in this case, of self-sufficiency in tomato concentrate production.”

The Kebbi factory has the largest single tomatoes farm in Nigeria and is the second-largest in the country, as well as the only fully backward integrated plant in the West African region, GBfoods said. It is poised to become the largest fresh tomatoes processing factory in Sub-Saharan Africa when all phases of the project are concluded.

According to the company, investment in the “world-class” factory and adjoining farm includes drip irrigation and fertigation infrastructure, greenhouses, seed planting robots, incubation chambers, and a plethora of agricultural machinery.

The farm is to serve a dual purpose – producing industrial tomatoes in the dry season and soya beans in the raining season. Meanwhile, the tomato factory will convert fresh tomatoes into tomato concentrate used for producing Gino Tomatoes Paste and Tomato Pepper Onion Paste while the soya bean will be used to process soya-bean oil, which is a critical ingredient for the Bama and Jago Mayonnaise.

In terms of impact, the project created over 1,000 jobs including 500 farming jobs, 150 factory jobs, and 150 construction jobs, the company said, also supporting host communities by providing and maintaining 16 boreholes of drinking water, a first for some of the surrounding villages. GBfoods also engaged many smallholder farmers as out-growers, training them on good agricultural practices. It provided them with tomatoes seedlings, agrochemicals, and various equipment such as water pumps and hose pipes, enabling the farmers to access water in the dry season.

The factory is fully backwardly integrated into the company’s farm and dedicated out-growers, GBfoods said. In the coming tomatoes season, the plant will source most of its raw material from over 5,000 smallholder farmers/out-growers who will grow fresh tomatoes on their own farms and from GBfoods’ owned and operated farm. Over the past three years, GBfoods has worked with smallholder out-growers in Kaduna, Katsina, and Kebbi States to boost their incomes by providing seedlings, fertilizers, training, and irrigation pumps, as well as free plastic crates further to reduce post-harvest losses, according to Egbe.

“We will continue to work with the Federal Government towards food security and local production and processing of fresh tomatoes,” Egbe said further at the factory opening. “The company is dedicated to reducing pre and post-harvest losses and also developing the value chain so as to improve revenue streams for tomato farmers.”

The team of extension workers, consultants, and agronomists at GBfoods are ensuring that the Nigerian farmers also benefit from the technology transfer of the company’s best practices and know-how built through over 40 years of successful tomato operations in Italy and Spain, GBfoods Africa CEO Vicenç Bosch said.

Additional land is expected to be cleared and prepared in September for the farming season of October 2021. The expansion will be similarly accompanied by an upgrade in the factory’s capacity, further creating new jobs, the company said. “GBfoods is working with the Federal Government of Nigeria and the CBN to make Nigeria not only a shining example in food security but also to become the food basket of Africa,” adds Egbe.

Bosch commended the Federal Government for encouraging and supporting GBfoods to engage with CBN, Ministries, Departments, and Agencies to ensure the successful completion of the factory. He also expressed his gratitude to the Federal Ministry of Industry Trade and Investments, Federal Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Development, Kebbi State Government, and the Ngaski Local Government Authorities for their tremendous support towards the actualization of the project.

Meanwhile, Egbe thanked the Buhari administration, the Kebbi Governor, His Excellency Governor Atiku Abubakar Bagudu, the CBN Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele; and the Emir of Yauri, Dr. Muhammad Zayyanu Abdullahi for working tirelessly to create an enabling investment environment for GBfoods backward integration project in tomatoes.

GBfoods has a wide range of quality well-established brands in Nigeria such as Gino, Bama, and Jago, under which it manufactures a wide range of quality products that make the daily lives of many African families easier. Products under its brands include Gino Tomatoes Mix; Gino Pepper Onion, Gino Thyme; Gino Curry; Gino Chicken and Beef Cubes; Bama Mayonnaise as well as Jago Mayonnaise. The company’s investments aim to satisfy local culinary habits and preferences whilst offering the healthiest and best ingredients for Nigerian cuisine.

Romance / Re: Her Parents Rejected Me Because I Am A Polytechnic Graduate by Danobb: 5:34am On May 03, 2020
If you are doing your own personal business, your degree won't really matter much, but because you are working for someone, at some point, you will require a higher degree to get promotion, so what plans do you have to further your education or to sustain your family? Come up with a good plans that will convince her parent and at some point they will accept you or you move on. author=landmark86 post=89083595]I graduated from Osun State Polytechnic, Iree.
She also graduated from Babcock University.

We both met in 2015 during our NYSC at River State. We serve in the same PPA. She is good, lovely and caring. And to crown it all she is beautiful. I mean so beautiful.

It all started with friendship which later led to relationship. We share so many things together during our time in River State as per what the future holds.

After our NYSC, we both went back to our various base. She is based in Lagos while I reside in Osun. Immediate I finished my NYSC, I got a job with a private organisation as a factory supervisor. But she went further for her Masters in Covenant University, Otta. Despite the distance we still communicate from time to time and at times I do find time to check on her in Otta, while she also do check on me in Osogbo.

After her M.sc, her dad got her a job with a big company in Lagos.

Last year December she came to Osogbo as usual to check on me but fortunately she met my parents and my siblings at my place. They all love and accept her. When she was leaving the next day she told me that her parents told her that they want to meet her fiancé.

12th January, 2020 I travelled down to Lagos to meet her parents. When getting there I met her parents with her only sister. Her dad ask of my parents, state, my qualification and what I do for a living. I told him and immediately he stood up and told me he will never allow his daughter to marry an HND holder.

He said he can't send his daughter to a university & end up marry an HND holder. Never!!! Though my gal is not in support of that, even ever since that time till now she's not her self in that house.
I truly love her and I know she truly love me too. But her parents is the major concern.
Should I call it quit?

Please your advise is needed, what should I do?

You might end up in prison if you allow your peer groups to influence your decision. I don't know your age, but what plans do you have for your future? Are you educated? If no, then try further your education in fashion design to bolster your skills and help you with your future plans. I'm suspecting the girls you meet are extremely poor and they have low class mentality looking for who will pay their bills. My advice is: Pray and focus on your plans then the right person will come around.

There is this lady I like so much, even my friends know that I like her so much and will love to spend the rest of my life with her.

One day, I saw her with my friend and I later asked her why she is so close to my friend. She said they are dating each other, that she cannot marry me simply because I am tailor.

My friend is a yahoo boy, he doesn't have any work. The only way he eats is via internet scam. To be honest I was so pained, moreover she is not the only lady to have done this to me. Have met several ladies that told me that they can't marry a tailor and they end up dating yahoo Boys for my street.

They always tell me to leave my tailoring job and go hustle like my frnds to make cool money.

Guys, I am tired.. Should I leave the tailoring job and join my friends to do the yahoo stuff?

Girls keep rejecting me up and down and I am fed up.

Pls advise me

That is not sinkhole. If u look closely, u will notice there was a box culvert at that location. I guess it was poorly design (possible cause: not using the correct size of reinforcement and right mixture or right size of the culvert), therefore leading to collapse.

I hope nobody in your family experience what Nigerians doctors are going through.

2) The doctors are not provided with the right equipment and support, so do you expect them to perform miracle? Look at the amount of testing carried out so far. The government re not really supporting.
3) How are you sure that Nigerian government are not going to indirectly pay this people even if they are claiming that the doctors are here to treat expatriate?
4) Personally, I think the government are bringing in the Chinese because they lack trust in our own, and they will also be treating the politicians.
4) Before you respond, Nigerian doctors and Nurses are performing excellently well abroad becos of the enormous support they received from the host government.

I'm not a doctor or nurse, but I have exposure. Pls make ur research before trying to be noticed.

Hello Nairalanders.

Pls I need a genuine advice.. I met this girl for like 2 months now, and we just started dating about 3 weeks ago. Sincerely I am not interested in sex or whatsoever now until maybe later or after marriage.

The reason I really want to marry her is because of her family. I know her sister and the husband, they are very kind, so that's why I am interested in marrying this girl.

But however, she speaks pationately with her ex, which add credence to the fact that they are still in love, though she told me there is no chance of them ever coming back, even though the guy wants her back..

I feel she may go back to him in the future given how they communicate. Should I end the relationship and search for another girl?

Travel / Re: All You Should Know About Driving In Australia As A New Immigrant From Nigeria by Danobb: 9:50am On Jan 14, 2020
Nice info but u can use ur Nigeria license for as long as u are on temporary visa. The 3month restrictions only apply to permanent residents.
Davidflight:
If you plan to migrate to Australia from Nigeria or spend a few months there on a visit, owing or renting a personal car could be a strong option for you to consider.

This is for obvious reasons. Most of the country’s locations are only accessible by car. More so, Australia is a spacious country with long distances connecting the cities with remote areas. So, the fastest way to get into the city is by using a private car. Plus, it affords you comfort and convenience.

However, it’s not entirely easy to drive in Australia, especially as a new Immigrant from Nigeria. The country’s driving rules largely differ from what obtains in Nigeria. For instance, the madness drivers exhibit on the Nigerian roads and the loose traffic rules that operate in the country do not happen in Australia. There, you must know and drive according to the rules, else, you risk facing the wrath of its laws.

Indeed, driving and traffic rules in Australia can be confusing to you as a newbie when you migrate to Australia from Nigeria for the first time. Simple things like driving on either the right or left side of the lanes can throw you off balance. The reason is simple; you are used to driving from the left-handed side of the driver’s seat in Nigeria. So, you’ll find it a little difficult to acclimate in Australia where you’ll mostly operate from the right-handed side. Traffic rules and road patterns are equally areas that can give you challenges

Driving Requirements to Meet When You Migrate from Nigeria to Australia

Good thing, you can drive in Australia with your Nigerian driver’s license. The rule only applies to migrants whose license is in English. But you’re allowed for only a three-month period. And if your license doesn’t have a passport photograph, you’ll have to take another means of identification that bears your photo along.

So, these are the requirements to drive for the first time include:

A valid driver's license or your International Driving Permit
. This must be in English. 
You should have at least a compulsory third party personal (CTP) car insurance.
Driving Rules in Australia You Must Observe

Before you hit the road in Australia, please, ensure you've familiarized yourself with the country's traffic rules. Unless you want to get the attention of the law enforcement agency in the country.

Traffic rules in Australia differ across the states. A sure thing is that you’ll always drive on the left side of the road regardless of where you’re in the country.

That notwithstanding, each location has its own distinct traffic rules that guide driving there – a little more like what obtains in Nigeria.

Here Are The Common General Driving Rules in Australia.

Traffic Always on the Right Side: Unlike in Nigeria, most of the cars in Australia come with the driver’s seat on the right side. This may prove strange and discomforting at first. However, you need to develop the consciousness of it.

So, while you prepare to migrate to Australia from Nigeria, bear in mind that the traffic ahead will be on the ride of your lane and look towards it.

Stay on the left side of the lane: You should stay on the left-hand side of the road even after you turn.

Mind the Speed Limits: Over-speeding in Australia is illegal, don’t joke with it. You can’t speed more than 50 to 60 kilometers in an hour. This is between 31 and 35 miles each hour. On the highways, you must not exceed 100 to 110 kilometers per hour or 62 to 68 meters per hour.

See Sign-posts before you make a U-turn: In Nigeria, people make U-turn at nearly every "T-Junction", right? Well, you should leave that lawless habit in Nigeria.

Unless you see a sign that allows you to turn at an intersection, don’t do it. It’s an offense in most of the states except in Victoria and the country’s capital.s

Slow and Fast Lanes: When you’re on a road that has two lanes or more and you are moving a little slower, you should stay in the left lane. The right lane is only when you want to pass.

Driving after taking Alcohol: A few things that are tolerated in Nigeria are serious crimes in Australia. Intoxication with alcohol is one of them. If you drive with over 0.05% alcohol in your blood, you will be exposing yourself to the suspicion and confrontation of the officials. It’s a serious offense to drink-drive in the country.

You’re wondering how they’d know the alcohol level in your blood? Wait until you’re caught first.

Don’t Make a Left Turn on Red: Don’t turn to the left at the red light if you don’t see any sign that allows you to do so.

Observe your Fuel level: Because of how spacious Australia is, you need to prepare yourself on each journey. Most of the petrol stations are far from each other. Also, it’s often difficult to find fuel stations open at night and early in the morning in most of the rural areas – even on Sundays sometimes. So, try to fill up your tank for your journey, especially within the rural areas.

Don’t worry, there’s no traffic law against having a low tank. But the least experience you’ll want to have in Australia is having your car breakdown in the middle of your journey.

Should You Encounter any Emergency: Reach the police in such situations. The emergency dial of the country is 000. There’s an emergency contact to reach in case you encounter a car breakdown, accident, and other emergency situations.

Bonus

It’s not the end of the journey when you migrate to Australia from Nigeria. In fact, it’s the beginning of it. You start a whole new unlearning and learning process. You have to flush out a whole lot of habits and lifestyles that obtain in Nigeria. They’re nearly the opposite of what obtains in developed countries like Australia.

At Travelwahala, we conduct orientation for Nigerian migrants to get them acquainted with the life in Australia and other select travel destinations they’re moving to. That could just be all you need to kick-start a whole new journey of your life in Australia.

There is nothing like means, even the "advanced world you calm to be living in" doesn't support this. He can always fall in love again. There is nothing like love in a home that is filled with pain and sorrows.

If you have the means, you can do it. It's not easy finding someone your heart complete with. We are living in an advanced world were a lot has been overcome by technologic advancement.

If you have the means. Even if it's 2 children.

How are you sure she is not smarter now, 100lvl to 300lvl. People changed man, and u guys weren't communicating during that period. Do some research so u dont regret later

I don't know if you are crazy or not, but one thing I'm sure of is that it will be very annoying to find out that she isn't worth the stress and patience you passed through while waiting for 3 years.

I Am Losing My Mind, Could This Be Love Or Foolishness?

Okay, I'd be quick and brief as well.

So about 6 months ago, I met my girl on facebook, And after months wooing her to date me, she finally agreed and we started dating..

Like everything was perfect and indeed I fell deeply in love with her even before I met her.

So along the line in our relationship she told she had a best friend who is a guy and they have know each other for like 4years..and that they talk very well (calls and chat) and that they tell each other they love themselves, but if I wasn't cool with it,I could break up she would understand.

As a guy I knew I had fallen for her and I embraced her telling me about the guy after a strong assurance from her that they were not into any sort of relationship with each other.

So my girl called me like let's say a month after we started dating that there was this her friend who she hadn't met and that wanted and she was going to see him, and I was like fine, she should just be fine.

P.S:- I hadn't met with my girl even till the point she went to meet the guy...I was in the west and she was in one of the states in the East..more like a long distance relationship.

Fast forward to days after they met I became uncomfortable with the relationship between my girl and the said new guy she met..I talked to her severally about it and she was at some point swearing not having anything to do with the new guy she just met.

Fast forward to the festive season I came back and I met my girl for the first time..indeed she was everything I imagined and we flowed amazingly well.

Long story cut short in the midst of one of our long conversations I discovered she have at some point had sex severally with her said best friend...so I was like since it was before we met I forgave her and we moved on..

yesterday I asked her if she has anything with the new guy and she swore again not having anything with him that the guy has been asking her out and she refused dating him.

She said plenty of things that convinced me into believing that nothing was going between them.

P.S:- before yesterday I told her to tell the new guy she has a boyfriend and she promised to..(from the actions of my girl I could tell she loves me.) She later told me that day that she told him and she had blocked him and stuff..and trust me I did believe her.

So this morning while she was sleeping I reaching out to her phone and went straight to her WhatsApp.. opened the chat with the guy and what I saw broke me..

She was reconciling with him over the break up she instigated of which was caused by something totally different not even because she told him she had a guy..what killed my spirit was a message she wrote to the guy saying "she left me for him even though I was far much a better option"..I confronted her and she has been pleading saying she loves me but she likes him and that they haven't had anything except kissing and caressing..that she loves me so much..that she started liking him when she started talking to him more frequently and I was far away. She hadn't know me..so she got fond of him and she likes him.

I love this babe so much, I told her I forgive her..but please I need your opinions..am I blinded by love or am being foolish..

How would you handle the situation. If it was you..
