A 21-year-old student of architecture at the University of Lagos, Obafunto Babalola, has been reported missing by his parents. Obafunto was last seen in his neighborhood in the Onike area of Lagos on the 8th of April and he is yet to be found.
oldienavie: So I have been dating my girlfriend for 3 months and she is perfect, actually she is a virgin, well behaved and very respectful. The relationship is going very fine but I am starting to really think deeply and I may just break up. Why ? I have lived abroad for a while and do have a very serious phobia for travelling on Nigerian roads, her parents are a journey of 4 hours from where I am and I understand the area is rife with kidnapping and robbery of all sorts.
I find myself obsessing over having to make that trip to her parents place and also have my family embark on that journey and I always shudder at the thought of it.
I am seriously considering breaking up with her and looking for a lady whoose parents are here in the same city I reside, cos one of the things that gives me serious head ache is travelling on Nigerian roads.
Since I got back to Nigeria I have not travelled outside of the city that I am and it is because of how serious that phobia is.
But how do I tell her I am breaking up with her for this reason, it sounds very trivial but its a serious issue for me.
If you were told to travel long distance to execute a contract in millions, am sure you won't think twice.
Truth is YOU DON'T LOVE WELL ENOUGH TO GO ALL OUT FOR HER.
Gold is never found on the surface of the Earth, rather it's deep down, hidden far below human reach.
Truth be told..... I am not surprised at all. They failed to track down bandit, terrorist and kidnappers in the North but their tracking device/equipment worked perfectly to track ESN in the South-east.
Common let's give this govt a standing novation...... Well done Sir.
Abeg I get construction Equipment for lease. Check my signature
I think this issue of zoning as it concerns election of president and governor should be put to an end by enacting laws in that regard.
We have 6 geo-zones. Why cant each zone produce a presidential candidate to rule for 8 years? then vice president taken from the next zone that will take over office.
See what boredom has cost her. This is why I am of the opinion that ladies should have something meaningful to do..... No matter how small the business is.
Anyway sha. What's my business with what she went to her ex to do?
With this two years that he spent in prison must have taught him some lessons. Never have anything to do with underaged ladies..... Stay clear from wahala.....

[color=#006600][/color]Sorry about the situation. I was also in your shoes (studied Elect/Elect Engrn), but i had to execute my plan B (create my own job) It took determination and focus to get tru. My advice is get some skills while u keep search for job.
secretsuccess: my name is joshua a chemical engineering graduate. it is so difficult to survive as a hardworking, honest and God fearing person here in Nigeria. After my NYSC i have been struggling from place to place, looking for opurtunities. i always shuttle from lagos to portharcourt...thinking that one day it will be well. i just discovered that it will never be well..
When we were in secondary school we were told to get a good course..my parents were happy when i got chemical engineering..then in school it was get a good result..that was no problem, i got a second class upper.
Ater service it was get certified..ahh, no wahala.. i got my NEBOSH certificate..then again some said it was connection..ok, i joined lots of proffesional whatsapp groups after much work, i even had to pay for some...funny enough the so called proffesional group failed woefully.
twice i was called for a job brief..twice i was rejected..the first reason was because i am igbo the woman saw my name and her countenance changed though she dashed me 2k and told me the usual words i would get back to you..ok, fair enough. The second was in portharcourt i was rejected because of my church..Roman catholic.. hmmm. A young man was also rejected for same reason he kept on complaining while i was just laughing..though later i begged him for #100 for my TP, he gave me sha.. he is a nice man.
ok. i had to go back to the drawing board..met some people and they said i should just do further courses..oooo! course again, ok.. no wahala. i begged my mum to sell her bike for 110k so i can add 30k and do process safety and loss prevention..she accepted.. i sold the bike and did the course.. yet, no interview call. i said ok let me visit companies and give them the cv..my brother no show.
i sat still again..and then reviewed my cv..paid 2k for push CV to review the cv..still no luck.. downloaded CV review app used it time and time again. same results.. no calls.
the only thing i get everyday is insults from my Father and some relatives of how lazy and weak i am...this is not fair life itself is not fair..is it not better to die? after working hard in school and after school for about 8-10 years no result for it..
People will always say dont be tired but my brother i don tire... i know many of us have same story, but for me the only thing i can do to make the pain easy.. is write..
Nigeria is not worth it.. did i tell you i briefly went into business?.. but how can you do well in business without long time experience.. it is always difficult..well, the pressure is much and i see that breaking point is close... only God knows Tomorrow.
These days the only thing that comes to my mind is suicide..i have downloaded lots of books to see if i can find a solution.. but none yet.. please if you have good advice for me i am willing to hear it.
