CrimeRe: Yomi Fabiyi: A Man Close To Princess Raped Her 14-year-old Girl, Not Baba Ijesha by abbey621(m): 9:18pm On May 10, 2021
So now Baba Ijesha is the victim and the 14 year old is the one being character assassinated. Guess it is playing out just like most rape/sexual assault cases in 9ja. What we are also learning now is that video evidence which shows oral and visual confirmation is no evidence at all, at this point I'm not even sure if the police caught Baba Ijesha in the act whether it would be enough. It seems the only way for victims to get justice in 9ja is to have rich powerful people on their side or just be lucky. All in all, the shitshow continues......9ja I hail o shocked shocked

Are you sure that woman ever loved him or his money?

As president, Obama was once involved in sex scandal but Michelle is still with her grass-to-grace husband.

If difficult to find true love if you are rich. That's the story of Bill Gates.

Abbey621, no long-term relationship ever ends with tht two parties happy. It's not possible.
I have an uncle that ended up parting with his wife because she was an only child and chose to relocate back to Sweden to be closer to her aging parents. Till date they are still friends and have 3 beautiful grown up children.

We just love conspiracy theories in this country, Epstein was friends with majority of those wealthy people. Melinda and Bill had been separated for over 5 years nowlon g before Epstein's scandal; this is why the divorce was settled amicably without too much legal back and forth.

I won't advice anyone to learn C, if you are not an engineer or do not have a understanding of computer architecture, pointers, stacks and stuff. Just go with Python and PHP, if you are a mere mortal.
Perhaps in Nigeria where we are still using slo mo but over here in the USA, you don't have to be an engineer, we have business analysts, AWS developers, cloud developers etc that will tell you that their foundation was built using C language.
ProgrammingRe: Is C++ Still A Relevant Programming Language Today? by abbey621(m): 4:10pm On May 08, 2021
This is like wanting to build a house and not buying land. Most new programming languages are just C programming modified and expanded using object oriented programming. If you're new to programming you want the best foundation as possible, learning C programming and even C++ helps you to get this foundation and ensures that you can adapt no matter what the cruel world of systems development throws at you. From Java to JScript to Phyton and Swift, you become so flexible that you can never be outdated or overlooked.

You grew up in a household with 2 adults. Both of them were managers. But in your brain me saying Nigerians are overrepresented in Management is something hard for you to count. Both of them then ended up getting their doctorate or masters but because you relish in self-pity you're in a thread that addresses such people as losers and not real managers trying to prove how your father and mother were fools.

But since you're into IT audit, here's some data for your dense skull.

IT Auditor ^Explain that.
Clap for yourself, you've just argued using apples and oranges theory, I didn't know your father and mother making less money made them fools but glad you brought it up. Average salary for a fast food restaurant manager is less than $60,000 according to your own data and you believe this is a salary worthy of a manager? I can see that suffering is in your blood, I made more than that as an entry level I.T auditor. Now in management I am making over $150,000 a year after taxes, if you don't see the major difference between a manager that is earning less than $60k and those earning well over $100k then you are clueless.

Moving on, you highlighted 10 Nigerians in top management, here's a shocker did you know I can also point out 50 Asians in top and middle management in the USA. I can also point out 30 Latinos in the same position. So what makes you think Nigerians are OVERREPRESENTED? Abi you don't know the meaning of the word?

Now when we talk about management in entirety, we are talking about top, middle and entry level. We are talking about CFOs, VPs, Directors, Managers, Supervisors and in some company Team Lead. Your myopic view is so obsessed with searching on Google that you have yet to disprove my assertions. How many Nigerians are in management at Grady, Emory or Northside? How many are in management in the USA as a whole compared to Latinos, compared to black Americans or Asians? For a group to be overepresented shouldn't they at least come in the top 3? Next time tailor your argument on what you know, the data simply does not suppoort your sentiments and bullshit rhetoric!

1. You're a non-starter. How do I or can I now the "you" that I'm arguing with when your submission is sub-par?
2. I wonder if t's my fault that you have comprehension issues. Or do I need to refer you to look at the topic again (something you should have done before making low-level off-topic submission. You brought argument that is not in context of the topic of this discussion and your emotional-laden submission here bereft of any sound analysis is useless to me.
3. Let me make it easy for you - By Law are cases of Kidnapping & Banditry State or Federal? Save yourself some shame if you have any, stop digging. Any other useless submission you make that speaks outside this context simply makes you look shallower
It's clear that you're just plain ignorant and was probably dropped on the head as a child. First you attacked me by saying it is unintelligent to expect the Federal government to declare state of emergency due to kidnappings, you now maintain the viewpoint that the entire premise is against the opening topic? Yet I'm the one with the subpar argument? You could have done yourself a favor by not quoting me but your constant need for validation meant you couldn't resist, I'm not going to sit here and argue against your strawman theories because you obviously know nothing about the Constitution. Yes kidnappings are prosecuted by the states but does that negate the power of the Federal government to intervene? What does the law say about matters of national security/terrorism? If the danger of one state leads to the danger of others, does the Federal government just sit back and drink kunu until the entire region is affected? I know topics like this one is far beyond your thinking capabilities but I don't think I can make it much simpler for you, even my 10 year old nephew can deduce what I'm getting at, so please refrain from quoting me again unless you want to be unfortunate in life but if you refuse then continue arguing with your keyboard because I won't dignify you with another response.....PEACE!

You ignore those because all that matters to you is glitter and gold. You said you've learned many money making skills and are yet to make kobo out of it, do you mind explaining?

Are you good at creating videos for ecommerce?
Any good at social media advertising and marketing?
Any good at search engine optimization?

These are just some of the hot side gigs you can do if you have the proper skills, I pay people anywhere from 10k to 30k per month for these and they don't have to leave their home or stress. Imagine if you had 3-4 of these gigs per month?

we always cry that the whites hate us when we always hate ourselves. I lived in the north all my life, do you know how derogatory it is to hear a hausa man call a non-muslim like me "arne" meaning and infidel? And also southerners calling northerners "aboki" in disrespectful ways.
I condemn racism in anyway, shape and form but to make these whites like us why not we love, tolerate, and build each other.
The way we are so intolerant to each other in this country are we sure we won't be more hateful than the whites if reverse was the case?

NO ONE WILL BELIEVE IN YOU IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, AND NO ONE WILL LOVE YOU IF YOU DON'T LOVE YOURSELF.
You're confusing religious and tribal bigotry with being hated because of your skin color, your theory suggests as blacks we should be monotone meaning we should not have difference of opinion regarding religious and tribal beliefs, when we refer to blacks I hope you know we have black people outside of Africa and I hope you know some whites despise other whites because of these same religious and traditional beliefs hence it is a human flaw not necessarily an African one. All hate is bad but this particular issue is about people who think one skin color is superior to the other, a well proven fallacy.

Let me make some assumptions from your write-up here

1. You've hardly read the "constitution" in which you conjure this argument.
2. It will be unfortunate if you've gone beyond O'level and make watery argument like this. Pray tell, why would a Federal Government take declare a state of Emergency and take over a case of Kidnappers and Bandits already caught? Is it that you struggle with the context of this discourse, hence your exaggerated pseudo intelligence?

The issues are simple. By current laws Kidnapping & Banditry are prosecuted by states. Laws are written and amended from time to time They are not based on emotional feelings of near-non-existent people
When you argue make sure you know with whom and what you are arguing about, your jabs about o level and other insults portrays you as a delusional loudmouth. The Constitution is very clear on the powers of the Federal government to declare a state of emergency, the Constitution is also very clear about the protection of lives and the rights of every Nigerian to live peacefully without fear or intimidation. Your ignorant deluded mindset wants to school me about the Nigerian Constitution? Did you just said, a case of kidnapping? You meant cases upon cases, you meant killings upon killings. are we talking about those alreasdy caught or the constant kidnappings still occurring? In a sane society, marshall law would have been declared but low IQ minds such as yours will defend the indefensible. You mentioned, by current laws Kidnapping & Banditry are prosecuted by states, did I argue against this? My argument was strictly focused on the federal government not carrying out its duty of oversight and watching as things continue to deteriorate.

I would have taken you more seriously if you argued based on merit rather than try to portray intellectual superiority through insults but alas a dog must smell yansh no matter the training. Improve your netiquette and check yourself before you wreck yourself!

We all hear one side of the story and automatically become judge, jury and executioner. Ladies are fond of doing this when they are unsure of themselves, all the guy's bad habits were eloquently detailed yet she failed to mention how they got together. School mates but how did the relationship start? Before discussing marriage surely you must have discussed past relationships, habits, pet peeves and so on. Surely you must have discussed religion, having kids, values and character?

Let nobody deceive you, you've only dated for 5 months, there is no way you can call what you have LOVE, it is simple affection and like. You like the guy enough to marry, the guy likes you enough to want to settle down but for real love to manifest it can only come from battling what life throws at you. It can only come from series of events and decisions. How do you react to his bad habits? How does he react to yours? Are you the type to dabaru everything onced the going gets tough? Is he the type to never forgive?

You can always back out of a marriage, dem no dey arrest person for it but if your reasoning is because you don't like some of his habits and you believe another guy wouldn't do something like this or worse then you're on a long thing! Every human makes mistakes or puts a wrong foot or hand every now and then, what matters is learning from it. If you feel he is hopeless and cannot improve then leave his ass but if you genuinely feel that this guy cares for you and in time will become the man you want him to be then by all means STAY!

No need getting overtly emotional over this. I believe Lai Mohammed landed a truism in an counter-productive manner. Banditry according to the law can only be prosecuted by states in locale where such occurrence takes place. If that's the position of the law, it then implies that states should oil their legal system and diligently prosecute those caught....as Lagos is doing same to Evans
Go and read your Constitution very well before believing one delusional goat. Every Nigerian has the right to a peaceful environment, the right to liberty, this much is guaranteed by the Nigerian Constitution. What is the result of kidnapping? What is the result of banditry? Are humans harmed or killed? Does it threaten people's liberty? If the answer is yes then the Nigerian Constitution gives the Federal government the power to overule the states or declare a state of emergency. This is the 21st century, let nobody bobo you grin grin grin

I believe you based on my experience. Most Nigerian Doctors in Maryland prefer not to be at the top management level. I am talking about very talented and well respected Doctors in different fields.

UMMC, Maryland can boast of 10 Nigerian Doctors, I think just one or two of them are at the Top. As a matter of fact, I heard some of them don't want to be part of the Top Management.

The guy you quoted is just ignorant, or probably, yankee sey shak ham.
I'm not even talking about top management like Vice President or CFO, I'm talking about regular management like mid or entry level. Majority of Nigerians are more likely to be good foot soldiers than to dabble into office politics. Nigerians are numerous in the USA, we can be found in almost every sector but only a few of us will ever smell top management, it's a combination of ambition and politics. I've been in management for 3 years now and a promotion is coming up into middle management but guess what, I'm still doubting whether the extra money is worth the additional stress and moving my family to the midwest, the 9ja in me is saying, ogbeni wetin you dey find grin grin grin

You also don't know what you're talking about because Nigerians are overrepresented in Management in the US and Canada lol.
What do any of you gain pretending you don't live in Nigeria? Just be honest with yourselves. I'm reading these posts and laughing.

Only someone that's in Nigeria would say something as pathetic as 'real management with office and everything' LOL. Nobody that has left Nigeria for more than 6 months would say the nonsense you're saying LOL. A KFC/BK manager is a salaried position your slowpoke lol dumb.

In what inch of Canadian or US soil have Nigerians ever struggled to become managers in? Show me where you're getting this problem from.
You're so ignorant, is it about being salaried or getting paid respectable figures. Average KFC manager makes less than $50,000 a year before taxes, if you believe this is a salary worthy of a manager then you're even more daft than I imagined! My mother was a KFC manager for 4 years before going back to school and venturing into healthcare, my father Burger King manager for 6 years before completing his masters and working for the US government. The rubbish you wrote above is for your own pocket. Nigerians are overrepresented in management in US and Canada....did you pull this statistic out of your ass? Nigerians are not even in the top 5 in terms of representation. We have White American males, white American females, black American male, Asians, black American females, Latinos and then you can start talking about Nigerian or Northern African countries/Arabs.

As a seasoned I.T. auditor who has found himself in management, I can count the number of Nigerians that are managers in the I.T field, even sectors like healthcare where we expect Nigerians to dominate because of its allure, we often find that Nigerians shy away from management and are content with just being nurses. From Grady hospital to Emory and Northside here in Atlanta, the number of Nigerians that are managers or supervisors represents less than 10%, if this is what you call overrepresentation then you're high on cheap pepsi!

What's wrong the black mans brain is a hatred of discipline and work.... ppl hate hard work.
Yet it was in Egypt that we saw a man set himself ablaze to protest the economic situation and the government. Well I guess in a show of sh*t, kondo will feel more important than watery sh*t grin grin
CareerRe: Shortcomings Of The “Nigerian Culture” In Official Places Of Management Abroad by abbey621(m):
I can tell you from my own experience and from observing many of my Nigerian friends in mmanagement position over here, 90% of what you wrote is plain fallacy. For a Nigerian to reach management position over here it takes a combination of education, experience and confidence. Majority of what you wrote can be summarized as lack of confidence which is very counter productive.

I keep telling people here on Nairaland, why must we generalize? How many Nigerians in management abroad do you know? I'm not talking about management at KFC or Burger King, I'm talking about real management with office and everything. In fact, I would say the biggest hinderance to Nigerians abroad in terms of making it into management is our loud tone of voice and often our ability to take things too seriously.
PhonesRe: Facebook Disabled My Two Accounts (Pictured) by abbey621(m): 3:45pm On May 01, 2021
Some countries and their citizens are on special list for fraud and scams yet you wonder why the facebook algorithm bans your account. It is simple, the poeple you sell to, even your friends one or more of them have reported you by flagging your content, it could be an angry customer or a competitor but once this happens, facebook reviews your account and anything can be used against you.

Are you located in Nigeria but collecting payment in USD? Are you selling digital or physical goods? Are your deals too good to be true? Did you look at your account quality score? Keep in mind, Facebook does not owe you any explanation, they can ban and unban you as they please.
RomanceRe: Why Can't Guys Date Without Having Sex? by abbey621(m): 12:03am On May 01, 2021
Grab your bible or any holy book you're familiar with and let it be your date, fall in love with the book of Psalms, start with Genesis and end with Revelations, invest deeply in the word of God and let the spirit lead you to someone that shares the same beliefs as you. You want to date with conditions then be prepared to offer those conditions to those who truly believes in terms. You can't keep offering cheese sandwich to agbero where amala and fufu dey. You can't offer bible to a homeless and hungry person instead of food and shelter. Fall in love with someone that sees the world as you do otherwise you are bound to keep finding yourself asking the same question.
