What is the most powerful country in Europe? Militarily, Russia is still the top dog in Europe. It has fallen a very long way from the might of the Soviet Union, but it is still dangerous. Both as a percent of GDP and in absolute terms, it is the major European economy that spends by far the most on its military; 5.6% to second place France’s 2.1% and $66 billion to the UK’s $55 in absolute terms. And of course, it still has enough nuclear weapons to turn the rest of Europe into hot slag. There’s a reason why there’s a continent wide alliance dedicated to defending against Russia. That said, Russia is unmistakably on its way down. Its economy has been stagnant and continually low oil prices aren’t doing it any favors. Russia’s economy is also too small to continue supporting its rotting military. Germany is a far wealthier country while the UK and France are both similar in size to Russia. In terms of soft power like economics or diplomatic and cultural influence, these three countries are all more important than Russia. This is especially true with Germany, which is going to find itself increasingly lonely at the top of an EU with a dysfunctional France no Britain.

Your entire life could be online and it might be used against you. Criminals could try to harm you with the personal information you share online or on your social media handles. Don’t post sensitive personal information online. Always ensure that the photographs you share online do not reveal sensitive personal information about you or your loved ones. – From Guaranty Trust Bank ADDENDUM: To those who waste their time, revealing their privacy unnecessarily to boost their ego, while they gain nothing and are paid nothing for it. Do you think those who comment on your posts really care about you or your family? NEVER! Those comments are bogus love that quickly fail when put to tests. I prefer to keep my mouth shut online, and demonstrate real, tangible commitment to the persons I love in reality. Some are actually stalking you, monitoring your activities, to use against you. Why do you reveal details of your innocent kids to those you can never welcome into your house? You might as well post their pics in physical public places. Exhibiting fake life online only reveals your vulnerability, rather than your strength. Vainglory brings more harm than good. Don’t put yourself in unnecessary danger. Whether you’re really what claim or you’re pretending to be what you’re not; very few people really care. Really successful people jealously and desperately protect their privacy. If you’re really an achiever, you don’t need to blow any trumpet for yourself. Let others do that. Perfect Money/Payeer/Epay/Neteller: www..com.ng |

What should you never look up on Google or else you will get in trouble with the government? Never look up “Pressure cooker” and “Backpack” at the same time on Google, or else you might get a visit from the authorities. How do I know this? Because it has happened before …. 'Pressure cooker' and 'backpack' Internet search prompts visit from feds: Long Island woman claims. Michele Catalano, a blogger from Long Island, was researching pressure cookers to make some delicious quinoa; meanwhile, her husband was looking for backpacks for his job. It just so happened that these items were also used in the Boston bombing incident earlier that year. This sparked some interested in the family and Catalano got a visit from the authorities, who after learning who these people were, quickly dropped all suspicion. Still, it goes to show that you should be careful what you search in Google—you never know who is watching.

Why are Arab countries so unanimous in their fight with Qatar? Could it lead to a war or a coup d'etat? A split between Doha and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) was brewing for years. The root of today’s trouble harkens back to 1995, when Emir Tamim’s father, Hamad, ousted his increasingly feckless and absent father from power in Doha. Saudi Arabia and the UAE regarded the family coup as a dangerous precedent to Gulf ruling families and plotted against Hamad. According to a diplomat resident in Doha at the time, the two neighbors organized several hundred tribesmen for a mission to murder Hamad, two of his brothers, as well as the ministers of foreign affairs and energy, and restore the old emir. The UAE even put attack helicopters and fighter aircraft on alert to support the attempt, which never actually happened because one of the tribesmen betrayed the plot hours before it was to take place. At the heart of the problem lies an irreconcilable difference between the Persian Gulf countries about how to interpret the events of the 2011 Arab Spring and, more important, how to react to them. In contrast to its GCC neighbors, Qatar actively promoted regime change across the Arab world. The Qataris mobilized finances and offered favorable media coverage to many Islamist actors, including the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Hamas in Gaza, the Ennahda party in Tunisia and myriad militias in Libya and Syria. In response, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia worked forcefully to block Qatar’s interests in the region, helping to depose Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, funding rival opposition factions in Syria and supporting the government of Gen. Khalifa Hifter in Libya. With such events as background, any paranoia on the part of Emir Tamim may be justified. In recent months, Qatar has once again drifted outside the GCC consensus. Particularly galling for the UAE and Saudi Arabia has been Qatar’s interaction with Islamist groups linked closely to the Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaeda. Worse still to them are its business dealings with Iranian regional affiliates. In April, Qatar was involved in communications with the al-Qaeda-linked Hayat Tahrir al Sham organization to guarantee population transfers in the country. Qatar appeared to have brokered the deal by communicating with Iran, which in return managed to secure the release of 26 Qataris royals kidnapped in Iraq in return for a princely sum to be paid to Iranian client militia Kataib Hezbollah. Qatar also helped Hamas publicly rebrand itself— and the group launched its new policy objectives at a Doha hotel in May. Islamist rebranding has been a favored tactic Qatar uses with Syrian opposition groups, particularly the Islamist Ahrar al Sham, and, unsuccessfully, with the leader of the now defunct al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra. This attempt to legitimize Islamist groups is an issue the Emiratis in particular find difficult to accept. For its part, Qatar sees itself as a victim of a plot by Riyadh and Abu Dhabi, which have had a traditionally antagonistic relationship with Doha despite the shared membership of the Gulf Cooperation Council. Riyadh views Qatar, which, like the kingdom, gives Wahhabi Islam a central role as a regional troublemaker. Doha, which allows women to drive and foreigners to drink alcohol, in turn blames the Saudis for giving Wahhabism a bad name. Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi despises Doha’s support for the Muslim Brotherhood, which is banned in the UAE. Will this lead to a war? Washington can play an important role in defusing this potentially explosive situation. U.S. officials may believe that Qatar was being less than evenhanded in its balancing act between the United States and Iran — but a drawn-out conflict between Riyadh and Doha, or a struggle that pushes Qatar into Tehran’s arms, would benefit no one. In this respect, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is arguably well-placed. ExxonMobil, where he was CEO before joining the U.S. government, is the biggest foreign player in Qatar’s energy sector, so he presumably knows the main decision-makers well. Riyadh and the UAE also seem to be establishing their bona fides as alternative sites for the U.S. forces now at al-Udeid. Their credentials are not as good as they might argue. In 2003, Saudi Arabia pushed U.S. forces out of Prince Sultan Air Base, as Riyadh tried to cope with its own Islamic extremism in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Abu Dhabi already hosts U.S. tanker and reconnaissance aircraft, but it would take time to establish a fully equipped command center to replace the facility at al-Udeid. Given this, a war is not probable, however if tensions continue to rise in the next 5 years then they are bound to boil over violently at some point.

Westerners are good at making those who hate them look like shit. |
Yes all these are very true simply because you guys over there have a business culture and you take business as business and I will urge you to keep it up.... Because if all small businesses can be this serious, Nigeria's business space would have grown exponentially but unfortunately responsible business guys like you are too few in this clime.... Just keep to your game u will be surprised at how big your company will be in the next 5 yrs. |
How do Nigerians feel about the act of flogging students in basic and intermediate Nigerian schools? Sometimes it is necessary. very necessary. That is the only language some children understand, and whenever you are dealing with such children, speak to them in a language they’ll understand. Ordinarily, I personally do not like the idea of flogging children. I grew up in a home where flogging was hardly done. My mother did a few times, but I can hardly remember my father flogging me. I didn’t grow up to be a bad boy for not being flogged enough (at least according to societal standards of good and bad). However, I once taught in a Private Primary School where flogging is prohibited by the school management. And the bad thing is, the children knew it. They are fully aware that teachers are not allowed to flogged. The school regulation is that when a child misbehaves, you report them to the headteacher. That was extremely annoying; if you expect me as a teacher to always come and report a primary school pupil, then you have put me on the same level as the pupil (honestly that’s how I see it). Well… this lead to… Problems! Problems!! Problems!!!… The children will always try your patience. They will do all they can to provoke you. And they’ll make a joke out of you and laugh among themselves. It was too embarrassing. Guess what I did? I’ll usually lock the classroom door and give them some good spanking hoping that some day, I’ll be caught and dismissed (I had prepared my mind for that). It so happens that the matter never escalated to the school management. Funny enough, the children who should report you to either the headteacher or their parents never get to do that. Reason? It will reveal what necessitated the flogging. Ancient scripture captures it right: “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.” - King Solomon. So, when all else fails, flogging is a good option.

What is the one thing you don't like about Nigeria(ns)? The one thing I don't like about Nigeria(ns) is our Individualism. This manifests itself in so many ways to make us the most selfish, unprogressive, sexist, tribalistic, narrow-minded, wicked, judgmental, homophobic, dishonorable, self-centred, patriarchal, subjective…..society. This leaves us being mediocre & incapable of being accountable. It makes us lazy, reject/fight positive change, refuse to unlearn old habits because it's just easier to be stupid. Human life means nothing to us & if it doesn't directly affect us, we just don't care or think about it. Let me explain this more; The Nigerian mind is the most divisive ever. Adopting children is alien to us because we can't imagine caring for, nurturing & loving someone else' child. There's no reason why our tribes should divide us but we can't let go of that. We relish tribal discrimination & stereotypes. In our personal lives, we'd treat our own children like kings but treat our house (hired) helps & even relatives like slaves. We'd clean our houses but mess up the streets. We'd give all we have to the church but the beggars in the streets are left to the “will of God”. We create businesses to cater for only us & our immediate family; we rarely think outside the box to consider how our businesses can support the society as well. We don't pay taxes but expect a functional society (not that our politicians will give us that if we paid our taxes anyway but..). More than 55% of us are Christians but we don't actually follow Christ or/& his ways. We follow ourselves. Sinning is just sweater than being a stupid, righteous Christian. & who wants to be accountable to a God they can't see (& have never seen) anyway?! “Judgement day is still FAR! Let's live for NOW & for us”. The Muslims…most Christians are scared shitless of living with them. We cite the bible when it favours us. When it doesn't, we cite tradition. When tradition fails, we scratch our butts in search of supporting facts. But who can blame them (us)? Any lawless society will promote the idea of “every man for himself”. When we help, we want monuments & billboards made in our names to declare our generosity. Our politicians only lead & uplift their family members, ensure they have a secure life overseas then they continue destroying Nigeria. Political parties aren't based on values but money & personal interests. By year 2025, 1 Nigerian politician would have been in all parties created & yet to be created maybe thrice. For now, it's APC (yawns). It's all about the winning party NOT about us, Nigerians. Forget values, very few Nigerians have core values or understand what it means to embody any. I'm not saying this affects every Nigerian. But in so many ways, we've become scavengers on the hunt & only the fittest will survive. To make it worse, we hide these under the cloak of religion. This is why our religious-saturated society doesn't work but the gay, open-marriage, transexual, atheist, divorce-saturated Western society works. If I have to add 3 more items to the list:- Religion, extreme discipline of Nigerian Children and lack of open-mind!

I have business ideas, know technology, have pool of potential co-founders, angel 20k investment if I need it, but I feel like being totally lost for past two month. Still waiting for another big idea, jumping from one thing to another and doing nothing as a result. I think it comes from the feeling/pressure to launch a startup asap from myself and my surrounding. Do you have any advice what to do, please? I have been through the exact situation and came out of it successfully thrice in my life so far - with 3 different ventures which all turned out to be hugely successful. Basically you are suffering 3 main issues: 1) Fear of Failure - you feel that since this is your first major startup - if you fail, you will let everyone down and therefore to save that potential grief and also not let anyone down, you are not moving forward. Solution: Frankly speaking, the reality is failure is not only a good way to learn from your mistakes and move forward but also no one really remembers failures, so really why are you so worried about something no one will ever remember anyway? 2) Laziness: Again this goes along with #1 - whether we admit it or not, reality is, we are all lazy to an extent. There are several reasons but again #1 reason is fear of failure. Solution: The easiest way I was able to fix this was following an advice I read in a Zen teachings book - obviously the solution is to TAKE ACTION. But more importantly... It said "For every 2 minutes of REAL work you put in, take 5 minutes rest". This might sound counter-intuitive but it works - why? You are at least taking SOME action rather than no action and eventually once you are in FLOW - you will not even want to take breaks! Most importantly... This builds momentum. In business the #1 reason people succeed is because they have momentum - i.e. skin in the game. Otherwise, things change so quickly online that what you researched for the past 2 months to develop a "business plan" will no longer work 2 months from now - especially advertising mediums as well as the risk of someone else coming up with the same idea as you. 3) No "fire" in the belly/Motivation - this is because you just don't have a strong enough reason to succeed. We all go through these phases. Solution: You cannot fake it - but I find that following people who are successful in your field (i.e. those who are successful and where YOU aspire to be) helps greatly. Add them on Facebook, Twitter, wherever. Read their books, getting jealous is actually a GOOD thing in these cases because it motivates you to keep going and strive to reach their status. The reality is none of them are any smarter then you, only thing they have that you don't is skills, experience and knowledge in their craft which you get with FOCUS and massive action. Solve those 3 things and you will succeed. There is no question in my mind. Because frankly, success is the best revenge and the only way to build a great team is to lead by example - if you are lazy, unmotivated and fear failure your team will be the same as well.

Is it OK to tell a white lie in a job interview? I'm applying to a job where management experience is required. But I'm currently not managing anyone. I was supposed to be managing a team, but my manager failed to honor this part of the contract. Is it OK to tell potential employers that I have management experience? I have faith in my skills. Answer: Imagine this… Recruiter, “Do you have management experience leading people?” You, “Yes, I do!” Recruiter, “Great! Tell me about your team. How many people? What were their titles?” You, “Oh, 10 people, all Representatives.” Recruiter, “Cool! We are looking for someone with previous experience. Tell me about a time you had to correct performance?” You, “Uh. I do that all the time.” Recruiter, “Great! Tell me a specific situation. Tell me what happened, what you said, what their response was, etc.” Recruiters are trained to go deep. To get to actual situations and scenarios of when you’ve done something. I do not recommend you go down this path. It could quickly turn bad. Source: https://www.quora.com/Is-it-OK-to-tell-a-white-lie-in-a-job-interview Perfect Money/Payeer/Epay/Neteller: www..com.ng |
Is chemical engineering really as hard as people make it out to be? Chemical Engineering is legitimately difficult. It’s a field that requires the ability to learn and think in a multitude of very different frameworks and foundational skills. It’s frankly the only field that requires understanding how microscopic interactions cause mesoscopic phenomena which result in macroscopic properties. Entire fields of study are devoted to understanding microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic phenomena but rarely do those disciplines traverse all length and timescales. Biochemical engineering is certainly the only bioscience discipline that extends over the angstrom to human scale. The only other field that comes up is material science engineering which many would argue to be a subfield of chemical engineering. The other aspect is that those phenomena have a vigorous mathematical basis. Of course the math isn’t as difficult as what would be seen in pure math, physics, and even electrical engineering but the phenomena that the math explains is much more tied to a deductive physical problem. With that mathematical foundation, you’ll need to explain difficult to measure properties which are described in dimensionless numbers. Dimensionless numbers are completely artificial concepts used to explain physical and chemical properties. Moreover, minute changes at the microscale will influence those dimensionless properties in a way that ties with the macroscale. Once you get into the turbulent regime, the cleanliness of the math quickly breaks down and you’re relying number more on Moody diagrams to make comparisons across length scales. While dimensionless numbers are used in a variety of fields, they are cranked to overdrive in chemical engineering. With the overlap between chemistry, physics, materials, and engineering principles, you effectively have extremely complex and unstable problems that have a lot of unpredictability behind them and you need to tie all of that together with equations. This requires students to wear a variety of problem solving hats and this legitimately makes chemical engineering a difficult field.

What are some reasons that you, personally, would not want to visit or live in the Nigeria? Nigeria seems to be one of the most misconstrued countries with so much bad press. And many choose to see only what they have been programmed to see by the media. Having lived and traveled to over 20 countries across the world, I can confidently say most people will be pleasantly surprised about Nigeria if they ever choose to visit. Let me address those specific topics that would likely want to keep people from living or visiting Nigeria: Boko Haram: The media makes it sound like the BH guys have their flags hoisted on every Street corner in the country. I have traveled pretty much to most states in Nigeria, including the northern states and I have never once been remotely close to any BH insurgency. Their activities ‘were’ limited to a few local governments and have now been drastically reduced further. Security: I have walked the streets of Sao Paolo, Bucharest, Johannesburg, Delhi with as much trepidation as I would when walking in certain places in Lagos. If that makes you think ‘but I can visit those places’ then Nigeria should not be a concern. If you observe the basic security rules like in any of those cities, then you will be fine. I visited with a former CEO (Swiss) of a multinational in Nigeria who lived there for more than 20 years (and even opted to get the Nigerian passport) and I was glad but not surprised when he told be for the 20 years, he was never robbed and never fell sick. Which brings me to the 3rd point Diseases and sickness: If you still think we are walking about with scabs on our skin and diseases floating around in the air, then you need to start watching a different TV channel. I am in no way suggesting that Nigeria is rid of key tropical diseases like malaria but take your shots before visiting the country and you will be fine. I doubt Nigeria will be the 1st country you will be visiting and taking some shots prior to the visit. Corruption: Please spare me this! I have seen corruption in pretty much all the countries I have visited. While I do not and will never condone corruption in any form, I beg to disagree that this will stop you from visiting the country. It's a menace in the country and I'm glad we finally have a leader who is making some efforts to curtail it. I have seen lawlessness at varying shades and sizes across the world and what makes countries like Singapore and Switzerland different is that they have rules and policies that check this… underneath, we are all the same! Global MNCs have found ways to work and uphold their integrity in the country so if you gave in to corrupt practices and blame the country for it, you are as much a part of it! People only ever talk about the negatives but what of the fun loving, energetic Nigerians you will meet? What of the highly contagious entrepreneurial spirit you will find? What of the resilence the people have built over time? What of the way we are navigating our young years as a nation and building a future for ourselves? What of our burgeoning entertainment industry taking the world by shock? What of the bright minds we have exported all over the world? What of our amazing plate of Jollof rice? Summarily, Nigeria is a beautiful country with different shades of experience. Your conviction about Nigeria will change not when you arrive in the country but when you board the flight and see the number of non-Nigerians flying in. You then ask yourself what they all are visiting for if it's all dooms day as popularly hinted!

Yes, this is true. There are many untrue things parents inculcate into their kids. |
What are some of the most damaging lessons you can teach a child? What teachings imparted to you did you ultimately need to “unlearn?” Answer: Parent bursts into my classroom after report cards are issued and yells,”Why doesn't my child have all A’s ?!?” I calmly get a blank report(marks) card out of my desk, (parent is not quite aware yet of what I am doing) and I fill out the child’s name, class, grade, and under each subject, I write: Math: A, Reading: A, Science: A, History: A+ (why not…I think I’ll throw some A+’s in there) Geography: A+, Spelling: A+, Music/Gym: A+++ Then I hand it to the parent and say, “There. Your child now has the highest of grades! All A’s. Congratulations.” Usually, I’ve made my point. There is about a one or two minute period of awkward silence between us. A few have risen from their chair and left with the report card (it is not a valid card…the original grades/marks are recorded in their file in the office) but most slide the card back on my desk and sit there sheepishly. One of the most damaging things a parent can do to a child is demand perfect marks and then tie their love for their child based on their grades. It happened to me growing up, and I knew how awful it felt to not feel loved according to my grades. My parents still loved me, but it sure didn't feel like it. And I had good grades, but apparently not good enough. I made sure my own children never felt that way, (I did expect the best they could do however) and my students always knew I cared for them no matter their grades. Once those parents finished their initial anger, we had a discussion in which I offered tips for helping their child improve in school. I knew why many really wanted their child to have high marks. In our area, bragging among family and friends on whose child was “better or best” was not based on who the child was inside, but what their grades were. That's just plain wrong. Therefore, I would always offer these tips: Do you have a set time of study each night for your children? During that time, are all electronics turned off except what is needed for study? Do you have a place for your child to study, such as the kitchen table or a desk? Is there plenty of light? Do they have the supplies they need? Have they had dinner or a healthy snack? Children can't do their best while hungry. Do you demand or yell,”GO DO YOUR HOMEWORK!” every night? Or are you available to quiz them on their spelling words or math tables? Learning is a FAMILY activity. Parents should be proud to be a part of their child’s education. Not only that, parents can learn right along with their child. Learning really is fun. Do you keep a large chart made for your child where they can record when quizzes, tests, and projects are due? Even weekly spelling tests can be written on this school chart along with field trips, teacher/parent conferences, and school photos. The whole family can participate and record their own important deadlines, as well as school topics, on this chart. Your child's education is YOUR education. Their marks reflect your guidance, not your pride. Many parents have busy day jobs, but hey, we are shaping lives here. This is extremely important. Love them for trying their very best. If that ends up having the highest marks, great. But if it does not, be proud for them and the whole family for working as a loving team. If our children can't count on us for support, believe me when I say they will find it somewhere else…and it may not be the kind of “support” that's safe for your child's mind and body. It may just be the kind of support that ruins their lives.
