I have no response to your likes.u v proven Your point with your downward developmental theory.
People like you prefer to function based on sentiments rather than facts, it's the reason the black race is so backwards. If there's anything I've learnt from dealing with some of the most intelligent people in corporate America, it's the fact that real progress takes time!

Minister? If you meant pastor or reverend then the answer is no! If you meant like government minister, the answer is simple the U.S does not use ministers but secretaries. We have secretary of state, defense and so on but the answer to that is also no grin grin

This is nonsense, why would you back your child and sit at your desk working? The child looks mightily uncomfortable and I doubt if the mother can actually be more productive in such a position. This is why it is a criminal to do such in America, the whites often see this as child endangerment, child cruelty and attempt to suffocate a child.

The most important thing to remember about your physical appearance is that always dress for the part you are playing. If you are going for an office job then suits are the norm but if you are going for a job that requires getting your hands dirty or handling machinery then suits are not compulsory. Your interview should be the chance for you to demonstrate something that is not on your resume or CV., do your research about the company, tell the interviewer about how you would fit in with the organization be careful when discussing advancement, you do not want to tell the manager that in 5 years time you hope to be the director of the company grin grin grin

Those behind this idiotic campaign are either the cause of our problems in this country, or they are nothing but ethnic bigots or they are directly or indirectly benefiting from this visionless Govt.because sincerely speaking, there's absolutely nothing PMB has accomplished in the last 9 months other than globetrotting n blame games. This has shown that he has no practical idea on how to turn things around for good in Nigeria, instead things are worse than it was.I weep for my people.

Don't tell me change is a gradual process, because what we are witnessing in Nigeria under Buhari is retrogression instead of progression.
Has your life gotten worse from September 2014 till now? If the answer is yes then the problem is with you and not Nigeria. Even in advanced countries with less complex problems as Nigeria did not turn things around till after a couple of years. E.g. Obama became president in 2008, America was losing jobs at a rate of over 200,000 per month, it took him 3 years to stop the country from losing jobs and an additional 2 years for the country to get unemployment rate down to 6%. If it took America, a country so much advanced than Nigeria a total of 5 years to go from negative to positive, what makes you think 9 months is enough for Buhari to turn things around considering the amount of obstacles he met on ground?
Politics › Re: Nigerians Mocks Buharist Trending #istandwithbuhari by abbey621(m): 1:42pm On Mar 03, 2016
Just one question: If you don't stand with Buhari what options do you have? Hug a transformer? Continue Wailing till 2019? Take poison or relocate outside of Nigeria? I know most of you expected miracles and most of you are truly clueless on how messed up the economy was b4 Buhari took over but know this, years and years of corruption and embezzlement cannot be wiped out in 1 year, if Buhari cannot get it done in 4 years then vote him out! Buhari is the president till 2019, till then there's no use giving yourself high blood pressure, accept thy fate and hope for the best!

We only humans we make mistakes. To make it up be willing to do whatever it takes tell her you love her like a fat kid loves cake and when she smiles that's a sign she knows your style grin grin grin Seriously my niggy, don't stress yourself it's just a phase. Instead of focusing on her bad behaviors focus on repaying it with love by paying extra attention to your kids and making extra efforts to make them and the mother feel special. If you kicked her out, the kids will suffer. If you start arguing with her or being abusive, the kids will suffer. When you eventually reach your breaking point, go away for a week or two without informing anybody. I assure you if there's still a drop of love in her heart for you, she'll start calling family and friends to look for you grin grin grin grin

I'm not debating with you that it exists, I'm however saying that it is not enforceable. Why is it not enforceable? Because common law marriages are highly subjective meaning only the Judge can determine what truly constitutes a common law marriage not the 5 years that you mentioned and we all know how 9ja works na grin grin grin Furthermore in this particular case, common law does not exists because according to the Nigerian Marriage Act:

33. (1) No marriage in Nigeria shall be valid where either of the parties thereto at the time of the celebration of such marriage is married under customary law to any person other than the person with whom such marriage is had.

39. Whoever, being unmarried, goes through the ceremony of marriage under this Act with a person whom he or she knows to be married to another person, shall be liable to imprisonment for five years.

This is further confirmed by the marriage validation act which states:

5. Nothing in this Act shall-



(b) render valid any marriage if before the coming into operation of this Act-



(i) the marriage has been declared invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, or



(ii) either of the parties to the marriage has during the life of the other, lawfully married any other per-son; or

Number 1: Unless you have evidence that those words came out of the mouth of Buhari then you have no case. In advanced countries we have what we call super PACS and other financiers who make outrageous promises just to entice the voting electorate, most times these promises go unfulfilled because they were just campaign noises.

Number 2: How can a country with a depleted federal reserve knocked down by the three headed monster of corruption ever pay such an amount to the populace. Even in advanced countries, unemployment benefits are scaled down drastically when the country is in debt.

Number 3: Judging a presidency based on less than a year of presiding is very unwise. Buhari is not a miracle worker, most people voted for him because we know he has the potential to turn things around but make no mistake it is a very tough battle which might require his entire first term to achieve. Why not wait till 2019 and use your vote to judge whether he did good or not? A lot of things can happen within 2 years, oil prices could go up, we could recover many stolen loot and so on, the choice is yours either be patient and watch things play out or ask for directions to Aso Rock and make your demands grin grin grin

Now for the silly girl, since she's 17 this makes it difficult, the parent must be able to prove her rightful age otherwise I'm afraid a 17 year old is considered an adult in the Nigeria Constitution.

Show me the press conference released by Bill Gates for one of his charities! Please show me the ad on tv or on the internet where he came out to publicize his donations?

Back to the matter...
1) Models are entertainers and the entertainment industry is a money maker on the other hand, the reward for education is knowledge. The aim of going to school should be to gain knowledge, its what you do with that knowledge that decides if you become rich or not.



2) In a year or two, we would have moved on from Olajumoke to the next one but the knowledge gained by the 5.0 guy is for a life time. Have you wondered why sport people, entertainers go broke once their careers are over?
Olajumoke's fame is for a limited time while the guys knowledge is for life.
I think you are missing my point, just because you are intelligent or well educated doesn't mean it would lead to success, wealth and/or fame. I have no doubt that the guy with 5.0 CGPA is a valuable asset but the world is cruel and such talents are not giving their due attention. Oh by the way, of course Ajax is not really a programming language since it is just a combination of JavaScript and XML. The true language is Java wink

Mindfulness:
There are no positive neither negative emotions? Emotions are neutral? grin grin grin Happiness is not a positive emotion and sadness is not a negative emotion? grin grin grin

You struggle, mehn. grin grin grin

This is the most idiotic statement I have come across in 2016. cheesy cheesy cheesy



Now again to your original statement that EVERY woman over 40 who is unmarried and has no children has regrets.

Is Oprah unmarried? YES! Is she over 40? YES! HAs she got kids? NO! Does she regret having no kids? NO!
The truth is this, marriage is considered one of the components of having a successful life for women, it is placed very highly on their success pyramid. For men, it is way lower on the pyramid and considered way less important. For men, money is considered the top priority, this is why society blames the man for not being wealthy and blames the woman for not building or keeping her home(family). This leads us to the main question, what happens when we have misplaced priorities? When women start chasing money and career and men start chasing love? We have a disaster, a shift in the continuum of life and an hyperbolic sequence of negative consequences. This is why men who chase love find themselves being hurt by that same love and women who chase money end up regretting later on in life. Ask Oprah Winfrey why she decided she did not want to get married or have any kids? Her answer would be that it was her decision but deep down inside she was afraid of commitment and by the time she realized what was going on, it was too late. I see no reason why a woman can't have it all; success, fame, good home, sexy body, lovely kids and so on. The ultimate decision is deciding whether you are going to see marriage as an obstacle or an opportunity, are you going to see it as a negative or a positive? After all the richest woman in Africa (Alakija) enjoyed the benefits of marriage! So in totality, the Nigerian society is actually doing single successful women a huge favor by being on their case, as I am yet to see a 40 year old woman who can truly say she's happy being single without kids and with no regrets!
It may sound idiotic to your ignorant mind but emotions are just emotions, there's nothing positive or negative about them, once again Google is your friend, do your research! Next, I have attached my original quote to show how foolish you truly are, notice the word I used was single(Is Oprah single? NO), so where did you come up with 'unmarried'? Oprah is not single therefore using her as your point of validation has failed. At this juncture it's clear that you are way below my level of intellect and any further discussion is an insult to me, perhaps you should change your moniker to Mindlessness, shalom!

I will include all the attributes that you have mentioned before and yet easily make the same point.

Why would a wealthy woman with no kids, who is single and 40+ and who has no regrets parade herself as a single, unmarried, 40+ and wealthy to propagate feminism? Is feminism anti children and anti marriage or pro choice? Does feminism value one lifestyle over the other or does it encourage choice?





Have you just admitted that you are not less emotional when it comes to positive emotions? We are getting there eventually.


And since you have mentioned Oprah Winfrey in your initial post. Here is what I found:


Winfrey, 59, told the magazine that she's never found motherhood particularly appealing — a nonchalance dating back to seventh grade, she said.

"While (best friend Gayle King) was having those kinds of daydreams, I was having daydreams about how I could be Martin Luther King."

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/oprah-winfrey-no-children-kids-hate-article-1.1545631


And I bet my ass that many women would sell their kids including their husband to live the life Oprah lives. grin
angry angry angry Where do I start from? Do you know that your lack of knowledge on this issue is really evident? There's no such thing as positive or negative emotions, emotions are emotions! Next, feminism is all about women's empowerment, this includes women having the right to decide whether they want kids or not among other issues. Oprah Winfrey that you mentioned is one of the biggest champion of feminism, if you don't understand this then it's just plain sad! Now let's move on to your other point, of all people in the world, you chose Oprah? Is she wealthy? Yes, over 40? Yes! Is she single? No!(Her man is Stedman Graham) Did she ever have a child? Yes(At the age of 14, Oprah delivered a child but unfortunately the child only survived for a couple of weeks, it was this traumatic experience that influenced her decision to go through life childless). Once again you've succeeded in making a mockery of yourself, try harder.....Drops mic!

[/b]
And if a woman's happiness so much depends on having a family why do more and more successful, beautiful, wealthy women put off having children until their biological clock starts ticking loudly, till the very last minute? Is it because changing smelly diapers and having sleepless nights and a life full of worries about your child and is not as much fun as money and fame and a body in best shape? grin

Why would they put off what money is to men? Would you willingly wait till you are 40+ to get what you most desire? grin



Answer the question and stop asking me to look for evidence to prove your points.

Are you less capable of feeling passion, motivation, joy, happiness and enthusiasm than a female?
Why do you love leaving out points which contradicts your own? It's not wealthy women with no kids but wealthy women, who are single, with no kids and have no regrets. I'm sure you did well in school, learn to follow directions please! You did the same thing with your second argument, emotions are not just the happy ones, you must consider the unpleasant ones too, so in that regards I'm not going to answer you.

Now if your question went like this, do I feel less emotions than a female? The answer would be yes! From biological to psychological, women are built to be more emotional. There will always be exceptions but majority carries the vote, women are more sensitive to their emotions. Finally, I really would like to educate you more but you see that would just make it too easy. Search Google and do the research, I'm sure the knowledge gained will be much more valuable grin grin grin

What has feminism got to do with the decision not to have children?

Everything! The decision to have or not have children should be left up to women since it's their body. This is the position most feminist firmly believe. If there's ever a woman, who is wealthy, over 40, single and with no kids then such a woman would be iconic or legendary in the eyes of feminist activist.



Are you saying that you are less capable of feeling passion, happiness, joy, motivation and enthusiasm compared to a female?

I love what you did there, positive reinforcement but don't forget about sadness, irritability, crying and so on. The truth is if you surveyed a 100,000 men and a 100,000 women and witness their mood over a period of time, the result is that you would find a higher number of emotional imbalance in the group of women compared to the group of men. Like I said use Google and do your research!

The research is very contradictory in this respect.

In regards to your next point, you do realize that there are years upon years of research which backs up the fact that women are more emotional than men, I'm sure you are familiar with estrogen and other hormones.

So you think Bill Gates don't publicise his charity, my friend he does even if he doesn't want its cos it speaks for itself. They hold conferences and media briefs talking about their projects and what they have done or plan to do. Many NGOs and humanitarian service providers do that. Don't be quick to bash your own. Its the heart in which u use to give that matters
Learn to read before commenting, we are talking about Bill Gates not Microsoft. I'm more familiar with his charity works than most people here on Nairaland because I've consulted for the organization several times. Just last year Bill Gates completed over 60 different projects aimed at reducing hunger in Africa, most people are unaware of this because unless you are familiar with his charity organizations you wouldn't even know they were financed by Bill.
