I don't think anybody can take a glance at those photos without their skins crawling. I suppose 99.9% of the world is trypophobic

I did without my skin crawling.. Nothing in it

"Final 2 games"..
Lol obvious he doesn't usually watch NBA Finals.

As an atheist the only time i become a Christian is when i enter 9ja planes. Air peace has been having close calls . Make e no go be when i enter next o

Then u are an agnostic not an atheist..

OGHENAOGIE:
you are Just sentimental...tel my why VVD shd not be MOTM... dat a technical group Sat down to give

Can't argue with u.. Your Premise—Uefa techinal group decided he is Motm,so who are you to say they are wrong—already shows ur bias.. Even his club—Liverpool—awarded Alisson their Motm.. VVD had a great season and arguably deserves d Ballon d'or...But he wasn't Liverpool's best player on saturday nd if u were being honest with yourself you would see that too

OGHENAOGIE:
can u explain why u think u know better than the technical study group who saw VVD as MOTM in the Final...u all kill ur self when he wins ballon dor be dat...VVD was even voted by players as best in EPL u guys still sabi pass them...before he became Epl best

Bkaz like everyone else I watched the game nd Alisson was obviously the man of the match... Like I gv 2 shits if he wins Ballon d'or.

Ohh ... I get now... U think I must be a Messi or Barca fan.. I support United...Just pointing out their inconsistencies.. nd yes I wanted Ronaldo to win Ballon d'or last yr. Lol

Raydos:
Even Rakitic goal against Tottenham is far better than this!!

U Dy mind Uefa nd their "Marketability"... Rakitic goal was named goal of the group stage last yr but Ronaldo's goal is goal of the tournament.. The same way they gave VVD motm 4 UCL final when Alisson, Mane,Matip nd Robertson had a better game

Gunner1759:
If you actually know AJ you would know that a conspiracy theory would only explain why he lost to Ruiz,
not Wilder, not Fury, but bleeping Ruiz.

Upsets happen.It is part of sports. It is of the things that makes it beautiful.. I don't know if you follow tennis but in 09 The king of Clay—Rafa Nadal—lost at Ronald Garros to Robin Soderling. Btw 05-14 Nadal only lost once at Ronald Garros nd it wasn't to Federer or Djokovic but "Fucking Soderling"

Humans love a conspiracy, we like to believe there is something hidden or more complex rather than believe what we see with our own eyes.. I don't really follow boxing, but saying it was scripted is disrespectful to Andy Ruiz jr who won, disrespectful to AJ and boxing as a sport in general...

From the comments I have been reading, one thing is clear, there are a lot of misogynistic men on nairaland

Don't know why everyone above me are insulting the lawyers...It may be unfair but it is correct..Same thing in USA...  The government can take your money on suspicion without ever filing a criminal complaint, it is left for you to prove how you got the money. People always assume it is government that is meant to prove you got it illegally..

thesicilian:
It's amazing that you guys always seem to miss the significant amount of bias against black suspects in the US. Someone is rushing towards a trained police officer with a knife, and the only option is to shoot him dead? Shot not once, not twice, but several times? Not shot on the shoulder or knees, but probably on the head or chest?

.
American police are trained to aim at the torso when shooting.. No police would ever shoot you in the arm or leg.. if they do thank ur God bkaz it was a mistake.

frowland:
This is wrong. He mentioned the biggest name in Nigerians music industry and compared it with the general musicians in US. Its baseless. Why dont we say, the top 20 musicians in US vs the top 20 in Nigeria. Lets see how this argument will hold up.

Read my mind..
Like davido and co are richer than Eminem,Lil Wayne,Kany West,Jay z,J Cole, Kendrick Lamar etc... Baseless

When did MFM FC win CAF champions league? That isn't correct

swaggerkid:
Let's stop this mediocrity.
Fraud is not nigerias problem.
I repeat fraud is not nigerias problem.
The country has failed it self.

Nigeria is not even up to top 7 in countries that engage in fraud. Even the americans defrauds their people more than anywhere with credit card frauds.
Then you mention Uk with bank frauds.
Russia with evil hackings.
Several countries that have severe dent on their image with fraud.

But nigeria which is just 5 percent of the fraud industry is what people make noise about.

Face the bigger problems.
When a master makes mistakes he blames his tools. Look at the bigger picture of nigeria , not microscopic problems .

Other countries have narcotic problems , terrorism ish e.t.c but they don't blame it for their failure in other sectors .


You'd be surprised most foreigners don't even know this country exists.
Na una they over hype unaself .

Just Google advance fee scam..
Nigerians may not perpetuate the most frauds but it is just something we are known for.. Do u kno how popular that "Nigerian Prince scam" is in the US... People may not know where Nigeria is on a map o.. But I am certain most Americans know of the Nigerian prince scam..
And it is ironic because most Nigerian prince scams weren't carried out by Nigerians... I don't know abt the rest of the world, but the stigma is there in the US

LordCenturion:
He's overrated this season, Pogba doesn't deserve it, I don't know those that rate players performances,especially in fifa ratings,the most painful is 2010 when Wesley sneidjer deserved it,they gave it to Messi,another error this year award,Ronaldo deserve it,they gave it Modric,it was this year they remembered that midfielder need to get the award,this season award should belong to Messi, am patiently waiting for the person they will give it to this time..... Nonsense ratings, maybe fifa should end voting by individual players, maybe they should be rating them by themselves base on their performances on field,imagine, someone that just watch Modric matches twice a year will vote for him....

You DON'T remember the error they made in 2013 when ribery ddnt win it?

There is nothing you won't see in this country..

In 2018, Mercedes-Benz was the biggest selling premium vehicle brand in the world, having sold 2.31 million passenger cars... Comparing Toyota sales to Benz makes no sense.. Benz is a premium vehicle made by Diamler AG.. Compare it sales to toyota's Premium vehicle Lexus ... Even Donald Trump when talking abt Automobile tarrifs recently said "A Chevrolet or Ford would never sell in Europe the way a Mercedes would sell in the US".. Overrated ke..the best or nothing

halfbloodprince:
You're a fool if you believe schools get involved in the personal issues of students, so much as to demand a fee for student abortions.

Think about it for a second. What happens to the school if the student dies during this $600 abortion? Are there no hospitals in Russia? And since when did students start reporting pregnancies to school authorities? But of course its nairaland so, I expect y'all to question nothing.

This is one of Nigeria's problem.. Pple that would just be talking anyhow like they know it all,when they don't know anything.. Now lemme tell you why you are the FOOL..Firstly,she said school hospital. it could be a teaching hospital nd let's for argument sake assume it is just a school clinic. . Abortion is legal in Russia so if the school "clinic" provides abortion services, she can have an abortion there.. Secondly, Abortion is one of the safest operation you can have if performed doctor. So the odds of her dying is negligible..But don't take my words for it o.. Do ur research.. FOOL!!

jullidee2006:
I don't believe this...its either the data is wrong or it's an old research... currently in most schools (primary, secondary and tertiary) the girl child is topping most classes and departments in the various fields... boys ain't studying again like before...

What makes ur own statement correct.. did u research it?

Akpacha:
Sorry abt that. With ur sim, they can dial a code that would produce ur BVN I guess they proceed from there. I have password both on my sim and on my phone. My sim can't be use on another phone without password.

Simple.. It only works for some stupid banks that ask for the last four digit of your BVN as alternative password when completing ussd transactions

Do you know how many CU grads have sibling in public unis ?

Do you know how many Public university graduates DO NOT HAVE SIBLINGS IN CU/WENT TO CU(PRIVATE UNI)??.
That should be the determinant.

rabzy:
There are a number of factors and what you highlighted is a major reason. Why is it that kids of very rich people regardless of the school they went to are doing very well. Privileged background, money, name recognition, connection.
CU students, AUN students fall into this category. I work in the IT industry, all our interns in the last 2 years have been CU and landmark kids. We have absorbed a number of them and they have become highly skilled. But they came in because they knew the MD, business connections etc.
Another factor is that these kids have been attending the best schools since kindergarten, so it is not surprising if they are highly intelligent, they have been exposed to the best schools all through their lives. So their intellect is not just due to CU. Its a summation of the privileged life they have lived.

Gbam... Elitism. Social inequality..
Why i can never see the fact that CU is one of the best university in Nigeria as a good thing for Nigeria...Bkaz 80% of Nigerians can't afford to enter the school.. So if the best companies only employ from CU nd Co.(which is their prerogative) then only those who can afford to attend d school(D upper middle class/rich) gets the best jobs... And Social inequality becomes worse in Nigeria!!!

CodeTemplar:
Oga don't be plain dumb please.
1. Public university graduates do have siblings in private schools and if the parents of most private university graduates are rich then so public uni grads at least have rich parent.
2. Don't public uni grads proceed to do master abroad after graduation also? That makes you assertion a paradox.

1. Never said all Public university graduates are from "poor" household.
But no CU graduate is "poor"
Compare the Mean Income of housholds in CU nd Public Universities...
2. If one in 100 Public university graduates do masters abroad/can afford to do masters abroad, then 1 in 2 CU graduates do masters abroad/can afford to do masters abroad.
The argument is about the concentration of CU graduates in tech business.... It is simply a number games..CU students are more likely to be successful than Public university graduates.. Simple.. It is an elitist society
There is no paradox there.. u simply refuse to understand without it being explained..
You are slow(i get)
P.S it is simplistic and dumb to base an argument with the points you made (can't remember what fallacy it is)

anonymous96:
Classic elitism nd a symptom of social inequality...
Most of their students are from family that are well to do. So it makes sense that they better equipped to bear the risks nd financial burden that comes with trying to "innovate"..One of d reasons you see more Private sch graduates jump into entrepreneurship or go abroad for masters immediately after graduating...

MrMcJay:
Go and Google up Softcom, see what they've done in the past and all.

I'm not a CU produce o, but in the IT space, fmr CU products are trying.

Googled softcom and it further proved my point..
The founder finished from CU in '07, founded d Company in '07..
No public school graduate can try that in Nigeria..
P.S CU is one if not the best university in West Africa when it comes to I.T.. but the fact they dominate the tech space isn't because they are better, it is simply the opportunity they have...

maybachmusic:
Well they produce a lot of smart people who make ground breaking innovations in a sane environment
