Hmm Yeah!

I don't just think marriage is not for me, I don't just like being committed, I wanna be free person without any commitments

1. Because someone else is doing it. And this is in most cases a popular figure. They're pressured into thinking/feeling this is cool and hustle to attack any available female who is unfortunate to fall prey.

2. Because some are immature. Adaobi ate all your pocket money and ran away, hence any girl you encounter on Nairaland is a potential "Adaobi" and should be bashed with no mercy.

3. Because we, the ladies are cowards. Yes, most of y'all are COWARDS! Now, I dont't mean to sound feministic, but tell me why in fvck's name, you would see a fellow lady being bashed and join the guy in bashing her? Why would you see a female bashing thread and give the OP "thumbs up" because you have been crushing on him since the earth's creation? Why would you e-run away when a guy is throwing his weight around because you are scared? Why? Why? Whyyyyyyy?

4. Because this is a male dominated site/world. Hence, it is believed that the say of a male is final and we all must shut up and nod in agreement as little robots; because any female who dares to speak her mind is termed a feminist and is closer to spinsterhood as a greater majority of men do not want to marry a woman who openly speaks her mind.

5. Because the moderators do little or nothing about female bashing or even bullying in general. I understand that they do a good/great job and I do not mean to harshly criticize anyone but if something was being done about this female bullying of a thing, you wouldn't see unnecesaary created-to-demean women threads everywhere. I feel a little sad to think that one female romancelander (name withheld) deactivated her account because a male "basher" insulted her as well as her Dad and nothing was done by the mods even after her reporting the incidence.

Okay every Saturdays are for wedding right?

But I see every Saturday as a day two gullible people come together to decieve each other all in the name of marriage!

Each time I receive a wedding invitation, I do laugh like I am going crazy The best part I love to laugh the most during a wedding ceremony is during the Vows! Because the Vows always sound like deceptions!

I just laughed out so loud now at a wedding ceremony this morning during the couple's vow that everyone eyes were on me, I think I will stop attending weddings

I trade all Major and minor pairs efficiently because price action is price action! The only reason I don't trade exotics is because of the spreads and low liquidity!
I have not seen any signal since monday except for XAUEUR and XAUUSD. If I was to be trading one pair I will get frustrated waiting for setups and would probably be forced to trade outside my strategy. You know what that means. EURUSD had not given me my setup for close to 6 weeks on H4. What do you think would have happened if I was to trade only EURUSD. I will be second guessing.

Instaforex manipulates price, doesn't pay out consistent winners, especially huge ones. Their price feeds is totally different from what you will see on other broker platform.

Fox Business experts believe that Russia and China will create a new currency backed by gold since China has been buying huge amounts of gold and Russia was forced to abandon the U.S. dollar due to sanctions.

Craig Singleton, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former U.S. diplomat, explained that for two decades, Chinese leaders have talked about reforming the global financial system and weakening the dominance of the U.S. dollar.

Two components of that strategy center around a global commodity trading system based on the yuan and China’s efforts in partnership with Russia and other like-minded countries to challenge the dollar’s dominance by creating a new reserve currency.

In essence, Beijing and Moscow are seeking to build their own sphere of influence and monetary unit within that sphere, effectively protecting themselves from the threat of U.S. sanctions.

Swiss gold exports to China in July rose to their highest level since December 2016: during the month, Switzerland sent 80.1 tons of gold worth 4.4 billion Swiss francs ($4.4 billion) to mainland China, according to customs data.

Data from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), a global financial messaging firm, showed that 42.6% of global payments in August were in U.S. dollars, 34% in euros and 2.3% in Chinese yuan.

Ming-Hua Chiang, an economist at the Heritage Foundation’s Center for Asian Studies, emphasized that the yuan “lags behind the US dollar and the euro,” because the euro, for example, requires “a level of political and economic coordination and integration that does not exist in Asia today.

During the BRICS summit in July, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the BRICS countries (Russia, China, India, Brazil and South Africa) were planning to issue a “new global reserve currency. Analysts believe the move is an attempt to undermine the dominance of the U.S. dollar and the International Monetary Fund’s special drawing rights.

Plants can be grown in the ground and in bags, containers, buckets, pots, and so on. Of course, it's better not to disturb the sprouts, not to touch the leaves, and not to move the bag because this will damage the plant's roots. But I like your way, guys. I think this way you can grow even the largest root vegetables like carrots and potatoes. You need bigger and deeper bags for that. However, a bag isn't the best container for exotic plants that need special care. I've spent a long time researching which plants I can breed for sale. Now I know [color=#000000]how to propagate bird of paradise[/color], because it's an expensive flower, and I can earn more from it.

Now that he owns Twitter, Elon Musk has given employees their first ultimatum: Meet his deadline to introduce paid verification on Twitter or pack up and leave.

The directive is to change Twitter Blue, the company’s optional, $4.99 a month subscription that unlocks additional features, into a more expensive subscription that also verifies users, according to people familiar with the matter and internal correspondence seen by The Verge. Twitter is currently planning to charge $19.99 for the new Twitter Blue subscription. Under the current plan, verified users would have 90 days to subscribe or lose their blue checkmark.

Employees working on the project were told on Sunday that they need to meet a deadline of November 7th to launch the feature or they will be fired.

Actress, Judy Austin’s Ex-husband Claims He’s The Real Father Of Yul Edochie’s Last Son

Nollywood actress, Judy Austin’s ex-husband, Obasi Emmanuel, has claimed that he is the one who fathered the child that she welcomed with her new hubby, Yul Edochie.

He had earlier taken to social media to accuse Judy and Yul of denying him access to his children.

Obasi claimed to have married the actress when she was 19 years old and invested heavily in her education. He also said that she ran away with their kids.

He further stated that he hired two lawyers but the actress slept with the two of them in order to frustrate the case.

By the way, this refinery actually positions Nigeria officially as the most industrialised black nation on Earth, with no competitor.

According to wiki:

''The Dangote Refinery is an oil refinery owned by Aliko Dangote that is under construction in Lekki, Nigeria. When completed, it is expected to have the capacity to process about 650,000 barrels per day of crude oil, making it the largest single-train refinery in the world. The investment is over 25 billion US dollars.

High complexity

The Dangote Oil Refinery will have a Nelson complexity index of 10.5 which means that it will be more complex than most refineries in the United States (average 9.5) or Europe (average 6.5).

(The Nelson complexity index basically increases with the number and capacity of chemical procedures after the distillation, e.g. hydrocracking, NHT, CCR, RFCC, polymerization etc.)

At full production, the facility will process about 650,000 barrels of crude oil daily, transported via pipelines from oil fields in the Niger Delta, where natural gas will also be sourced to supply the fertilizer factory and be used in electrical generation for the refinery complex.

This corresponds with 50,000,000 litres (13,000,000 US gal) of Euro-V quality gasoline and 17,000,000 litres (4,500,000 US gal) of diesel daily, as well as aviation fuel and plastic products.

With a greater capacity than the total output of Nigeria's existing refining infrastructure, the Dangote Refinery will be able to meet the country's entire domestic fuel demand, as well as export refined oil and petroleum products.

You're saying the same thing as he is only in another way. The idea behind redesigning the naira is obviously to curb inflation and mop up the excess naira in circulation through CBN's printing policy.

It will definitely lead to fall in inflation as you said and of course fall in GDP as he said. Where I don't see a problem is, the GDP is already fallen so you can't kill a dead man.

Nigerian scientist and engineering researcher, Dr. Oluwarotimi Samuel is blazing the trail in an uncommon field. He is working to find a solution to amputees who lost their arm. This amazing research involves developing a technology (both software and hardware) that gives them a better quality of life.

Oluwarotimi Samuel, an Associate Professor of Robotics and Intelligent Systems with the Center for Neural Engineering at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology. This is in partnership with the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Academic Journey from Nigeria

Samuel bagged a BSc. in computer science with first-class honours. This stellar result was at Kogi State University in 2009. He studied further at Federal University of Technology, Akure. His brilliant performance continued thus he earned a MTech with distinction in 2014.

His master’s research focused on developing intelligent systems that could enhance the accuracy and speed of medical diagnoses.

From Nigeria to China, Still Shinning

In 2014, Dr. Samuel began a PhD at the University of Chinese Academy of Science, in Beijing. It was a great opportunity through CAS-TWAS President’s Fellowship. This permitted full engagement in scientific research
and he obtained a PhD in pattern recognition and intelligent systems (2014–2017) under the supervision of Prof. Li Guanglin.

In his words, "This was one of the very first important steps that brought me where I am today."

"I developed an efficient technique that allows the characterization of multiple patterns of limb movement intents in post-stroke patients, which could spur various potential advancements in the field".

Developing a Robotic Prosthesis for Amputees

Based on the quality of work during his PhD, Dr. Samuel was appointed Associate Professor at the CAS-Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology.

He has created an effective technique for characterising diverse patterns of limb movement intents in post-stroke patients, which could lead to a variety of potential advances in the field.
His current research focuses on the biomechanics of upper extremity movement patterns derived from acquired bio-signals. This would aid in understanding how computer algorithms could best decode the underlying motor purpose. It would then be used to advance upper limb rehabilitation.

Developing rehabilitation robots—prosthesis is not an easy task. It demands thorough examination of the nature and state of amputees' residual limb muscles in order to determine whether or not they can generate some myoelectric signals.

According to TWAS blog Dr. Samuel explained that some amputees cannot perform certain limb movements such as raising an arm, even when the muscles are there. So, he develops prosthetic sockets that properly suit the amputee's stump. Then, miniature sensors corresponding to specific regions of the residual muscles are placed inside the socket to record biological signals.

Achievements and Awards

In addition to graduating with a first class and distinction at bachelor's and master's degree, Dr. Samuel is a recipient of notable awards.

For his work on developing a prosthesis arm using AI, Dr. Samuel was listed among the "2022 Top 2% most cited scientists" by Stanford University. He has received the 2022 Personality of the Year Award from Pride of Africa. He also won the 2014 CAS-TWAS President’s Fellowship. This allowed him to study for a PhD in China.

Postgraduate Nigeria celebrates this African shinning star. A role model, within and outside academia.

Today, the threshold of victory is quaking in the scrabble world in far away Lusaka, Zambia and the reverberation is being felt globally as Enoch Nwali is crowned the 14th Africa Scrabble Champion, having consistently led the pack from the blast of the whistle till the finishing point. Some exceptional stuff of genius.

Perhaps, when I wrote "what is in a name", analysing his exploits in the course of the championship, many didn't know I was being clairvoyant. But thank God Providence gifted him this. For he has put in the works, he is humble and committed, that I have always prayed that his humility takes him to the pinnacle of success. Cohen, as he is fondly called, finished 5th in the last WSC, and this has opened the floodgate of victory for him. He was dressed the Champion at the last Egbele Classic, finished 2nd at the recent West Africa Scrabble Championship, such that his consistency is like rivers emptying their waters into the sea. In Enoch's case, the hardwork is beginning to yield great dividends. It is the dawn of a new era, a new king in the kingdom, having played the last four games of the 32 games championship against African finest, 2015 World Scrabble Champion, Wellington Jighere, stiff opposition, gruelling encounter, brain racking games, and triumphing at the end, shows Enoki is here to stay.

Brilliantly, the 26year old of the university of Lagos, won 24 games and drew 1. He several gold medals at the last National Sports Festival and at NUGA games. He has been consistent with this stellar performance that he is now among the world's top 10 going by WESPA rating. He is one top ceded to represent the country at the forth coming World Scrabble Championship in Las Vegas, USA next year as his thinking cap is always intact.

Excitedly, the scrabble community across the globe, is in frenzy, Africa is brimming with joy, and Nigeria and Nigerians are in ecstatic mood. The feeling is simply orgasmic. We will celebrate this to the heavens, corporate bodies should have a feeler, government should acknowledge the honour, and reward handsomely. The brilliance of this feat is simply meteoric. We cannot say it enough, we must sing it loud and clear, as we unitedly chorus HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS ENOKI!!!

Mine got stolen last two Friday. I just got another one, restore my backup from my laptop and all my things got back because I hate stress!


Here is the funny part, my sim has a code so you can’t do anything with my sim, my phone iCloud is on and phone has a password. Even if the idiot decides to sell it as parts, the only expensive part is the screen and mine the screen is even broken.
