This is going to be long, I hope you endure to the end.

I know what I am about to say will be controversial and not "politically correct", mostly for the feminist and others. I expect a lot of backlash, abuse and calling of names, it is a burden I am willing to take on.

I expect everybody to come here and call this man names, he's an animal, a coward (I agree on this), woman beater and all sort just to be accepted. But I have decided to share a different opinion.

First, people don't just go about attacking other people, not a woman you are married to, not the mother of your children, even mad people don't frequently attack people at random.

The thing is everybody have a breaking point, no matter how much you try to endure and try to be the better person, there comes that point you just can't take it.

Have I hit a woman b4? Yes, twice. It is not something I am proud of, I feel ashamed of myself afterwards. Now I have had my fair share of relationships but one stands out and I pray no man finds himself with a woman like that. This girl's words are venom, she rain abuses at the slightest provocation. If anyone knows me outside NL will know that I am extremely quite, an introvert and avoids confrontation at all cost.

If we agree to meet somewhere and she gets there before, am dead. No matter the reason, she will call me and start abusing me, in fact if you are to hear her, you will call me a fool for staying with that kind of person. But she is not always like that, when she's not angry, she's one of the nicest person ever. Well educated and from a decent home so there's no indication that she will be like that.

The first time I hit her, we went to buy something together at the market. We ended up having a different opinion about an item and that was when she got angry, she started abusing me right there in public. It was as if the ground should open and swallow me, I was so embarrassed I decided to leave and go home. When she got back, she started yelling at me for leaving her behind at the market and the abuses begin. At that point I lost it, already am fuming from the market incident and now this, she has said worst things to me before and I simply walk away but this time I don't know what happened and I slapped her. Of course I apologized and begged and we got back to being normal, I noticed the abuses even stopped for sometime.

Now I don't want to mention what happened the second time, because not even a pope would have been able to handle the situation. At that point I ended the relationship.

Am i going to mention the times she gets angry and begin to damage my properties? Anything she gets her hands on she will destroy it. We all heard about Tonto Dikeh damaging properties worth millions of Churchill's.

The ultimate question is, why didn't I just leave the relationship, answer is, beside her bad moments she's a nice person. Plus I had to endure to keep up the relationship. Now it would be even more difficult for married people.

I am no way encouraging physical abuses by men, but before you crucify the man, have you considered what the man has been through?

No man should raise his hands on a woman, however we shouldn't be quick to throw the men under the bus either. This man is languishing in prison, some of us wouldn't have been able to walk half a mile in his shoes.

May God give us all compatible partners.

I can identify with you my brother, most people here condemning the man or other men that beat their wives haven't seen anything

abdulahi001:
If you touch a girl or you allow a girl touch you, you will turn to stone.

Lol this one serious ooo

erico2k2:
Nothing spoil we all learn each day, Im sure there are Bunch of stuff you know that I dont know

Exactly

erico2k2:
FAILED!
Chey una say una do physics

My brother don't blame ooo, I know it's called odometer or speed clock for a reason. So I believe that all things being equal 120 for instance should be the same for all vehicle.

nurey:
OK the range gets to B in 300secs
The VW gets to B in 1200secs

Both will get to C from B at 7200secs adding that to the first lap

Range Rover gets from A to C in 7500secs
Vw gets from A to C in 8400

So the question the op asked was related from their trip from B to C let's just leave it at that and let's say every other thing is standard and controlled.

Exactly

When you tell your mum you're hungry, she be like why won't u be hungry when all you do is play all the time.

They tell you not to pick money on the road otherwise you'll turn to a goat, and you see other kids picking money on the road.

They always buy you oversized clothes and shoes and tell you 'you'll grow into it'

You waited for ages for the cloth to size you.

Go and wear your shoes we'll wait for you.
Only for you to come outside they are gone.

If you eat beans you'll grow tall, na so. Is it your tall?

When you lend them your money which they promised to pay back and it's gone when you need it.
They start telling you how they have been feeding you and clothing you.
Lol

My parents never got angry with me like you're doing to us.
But that's not what grandma said.

I'll buy it if you come first in class.
The same old story

I always come first in class, you are like mum 'are these not your results'? How was that possible? Lol, our parents always pass their exams. Maybe all of them are intelligent.

When your mum tells you she had no boyfriend while growing up, you are like 'tell me more'. Because you have seen her pictures.

When they say tell us the truth we won't beat you


You remember the last time you walk away with wheelchair

Sometimes our parents can lie for Africa, Lol. We still love them.

They always tell us to be bring our money so they can help us save them. They are yet to give you back the last money you gave them, next time they say bring the money let's save it for you.

You be like Mummy I no gree ooo

During my undergraduate days, machine drawing class to be precise, we were taught that you have to have a very sound imaginative mind to be a good engineer. Structural engineering for example deals with alot of abstract forces that cannot be seen, you can only imagine them and work with them using imaginations and mathematical expressions.

How does speed relate to tire size? I have imagined it an translated it to the mathematical expression. For another person to understand it he has to view, understand the mathematical expression then imagine it. Some where along the line, you failed. Not my fault.

All these back and forth. Okay, oga let me rephrase the OP's question. Or simply put, can my v8 for instance overtake your i4 (4 cylinder) if both of us are doing 120k/h on the same highway assuming our tires are company specifications?

.

zanga420:
meaning all things being equal, a corolla and c class left Maiduguri by 6am at 100km/h, both used same speed level throughout, will reach port Harcourt by same time, let's say 8pm? If that's so what do we say to the so called horsepower n stuffs?

I think this horsepower stuff has been explained before, it can a particular model 1 minute to attain a particular speed let's say 100km while another with more horsepower to achieve the feet in less time.

Another advantage is the rate a car slows down when climbing a hill can also be determined by it's capacity or horsepower.

zanga420:
I think there're different horsepower for cars or so. For example, we traveled one time like that with two vehicles. Toyota celica and Mercedes c class (beast or so) the celica i was in was doing 120km/hr and the c class guy said he's doing 80/90, but through the journey, the c class will go far and wait for us to catch up. What do you say about that? Cc: autojoshng

Pure lies, unless the odometer of Benz is in miles

DollarAngel:
Some Cars Are Faster Than Others Even At The Same KM/H:
We all had our fair share of believing this when we were kids.. If you still believe your car at 80km/h overtook another car doing 120km/h on the highway, please wake up! It is highly impossicant.. if there is any word like that. Except in the event of a faulty speed gauge.

I disagree OP for example A Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, the world's fastest road legal production car with a top speed of 431 km/h (268 mph) if its on 80km/h vs a Toyota Camry on 120km/h. that Buggati can't overtake the Camry? I stand to be corrected.

Going by your calculation by the time the Bugatti finishes it's 431 km speed it will actually be doing 600 km/h? Na waoo

We have actually argued this topic before.

GloriaNinja:
No be only workmates, including the boss who sexually harass the female workers.

Yes, you're right. But then same principles apply and can work

About two threads made FP the other day bothering on how men as well not only women (both gender) are victims.

Sexual harassment creates a hostile work environment for millions worldwide, but the Bible can help!

Consider these practical suggestions based on wisdom found in the Bible:

(1) Be businesslike.
Be pleasant and respectful to workmates, yet avoid the sort of friendliness that implies that you would accept their sexual interest.—Matthew 10:16; Colossians 4:6.

(2) Dress modestly. Wearing provocative clothing sends the wrong message. The Bible recommends dressing “with modesty and soundness of mind.”—1 Timothy 2:9.

(3) Choose your friends wisely. If you spend time with those who tolerate or even welcome flirting or sexual advances, you are more likely to receive the same treatment.—Proverbs 13:20.

(4) Reject offensive talk. Excuse yourself if a conversation turns to “dirty stories, foolish talk, or immoral jokes.”—Ephesians 5:4,

(5) Avoid compromising situations. For example, beware of invitations to stay at work after hours without a valid reason.—Proverbs 22:3.

(6) Be firm and direct. If you are sexually harassed, clearly tell your harasser that his or her behavior is unwelcome. (1 Corinthians 14:9)
For instance, you could say: “You keep brushing against me, and it makes me very uncomfortable. I want you to stop.” You could write a letter to your harasser describing what happened, how it made you feel, and what you want to happen next. Make clear that your stance is based on your moral and religious convictions.—1 Thessalonians 4:3-5.

(7) Get help. If the harassment continues, confide in a trusted friend, family member, or coworker or in someone experienced in helping victims. (Proverbs 27:9) Many victims of sexual harassment have found support through prayer. Even if you haven’t prayed before, don’t underestimate the help you can receive from “the God of all comfort.”—2 Corinthians 1:3

Hairyrapunzel:
Is the magazine not your own? This your belief of us against them is expected nobody got anything from any opposer it is on Internet
No point wasting time when they have caught you lying.nobody is twisting anything it is how it is written by your magazine. You want to try and save face jws are not pacifists and they also encourage self defence.
Why not Let them kill you like fish don't defend yourself and be watching someone kill you. If you can defend yourself why should a country not defend itself with its citizens

Please can you stop quoting me, Thanks.

achorladey:
No mind am jare. He thinks when someone says he cannot comprehend certain things, he thinks am joking. I still remember this section in the old Awake that issues raised by readers are addressed(From our readers). If all readers of the magazine can really comprehend all that is written in there, will they raise questions? The Watchtower of today still carries Questions our readers ask!!! Please ask Hairyrapunzel why are such articles still there? If you don't understand something don't come out and speak as If you are an authority in such matter. The magazine last time I checked is not Hairyrapunzel publications. People should learn to learn with humility and not arrogance.

I have been following his post, I hardly reply such people. He only read magazines so he can see wat to twist or probably they left the org and have been embittered. Most times the things they post are what they got from opposer and apostates sites. So there's no points waisting my time with him

Hairyrapunzel:
You are a liar dey form say jw na pacifist and they don't defend themselves. You people and black and white thinking if you join army you must go to war if you say the national pledge that means you are worshiping other gods. a country cannot defend itself from invaders they should just agree to get killed oga your organization support and love wars but don't join the army, your organization supports self defense. Always saying Loyalty to a nation is the same as worshipping the nation. Say another one then you see I have more of your publications which are exactly opposite

Oga no dey make noise up and down, na waa for some people's understanding.
So joining the army and fighting wars is the same with self defense?

Don't even say this outside otherwise nursery school children wul laugh at you. Go back to your teacher and demand for refund.

Lovely
