correctguy101:Many people taking sides don't even know what the issue is all about. Why should some countries be policing those who should have nuclear weapons and those who shouldn't? It remains known that no one can be trusted with a nuclear weapon, not America, not Israel, not Russia, yet these countries have a stockpile of them. The only time nuclear weapons was used in warfare was in 1945 when the Americans dropped atomic bombs on Japan. Now, the same America thinks they can be trusted to own nukes but Iran can't. I hate the hypocrisy. There are Nigerians supporting Israel and America because they hate Islam. What they don't understand is that this conflict can quickly escalate into the Third World War. Already, Turkey has begun talks on expanding their nuclear programme. Russia and China are watching and seeing how the United States is breaking protocol by bombing a sovereign state. They are taking note. Even if they don't join the war directly, trust them to join through proxies. The Nigerian thinks he is safe in his own country. He doesn't know the economic impact it would have on him if the economy of Europe shuts down. The fight between Russia and Ukraine caused the price of wheat to skyrocket in Nigeria. Just wonder what would happen to many of our imports if a World War was to begin today. |
salem1996:Why not enlist in the US military? Are you people aware the number of American soldiers who have died in the Middle East. Trump himself said it that America should never have involved itself with the Middle East. He said it to throw shades at Obama. But Trump becomes president again, and he is doing exactly the same thing he criticized Obama for. In fact, he is doing worse, striking Iran unprovoked. Are you people aware that there was a negotiation going on before Israel struck Iran unprovoked. Are you still aware that negotiation hasn't closed yet before Trump struck Iran? |
fineboynl:You think Israel has the capabilities to silence Iran? You people don't understand war. And Trump might just have begun Third World War with his recklessness. Go and check American reactions on X. Nearly every American is mad at Trump for interfering, especially when Iran was still at the negotiation table. |
Righteousness2:You are just being unfair. Iran was on the negotiation table when Israel struck unprovoked. Iran asking Israel to stop their own nuclear programme is fair and reasonable. Why should Israel be allowed to have a nuclear programme, but Iran can't? Now, the warmonger, Trump, goes and bombs Iran. Many Americans are angry because Iran sees this as war now, and it might awaken sleeper cells, even in the United States. The only issue is that it is not Trump and his fellow warmongers that will suffer it. |
Dpsychologist:It is not about wrong choices of men all the time. Why do we blame men for the occurrence of every single mom? Let me tell you a story. When I was in the university, our social director was dating one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. The girl seemed well-behaved for someone so beautiful. She was respectful and all that. One day, our social director caught another guy on top of her in her room off campus. Although, at the time, she was pregnant and our social director knew and even showed commitment towards marrying her. But when he caught her with the other guy, he didn't trust that the baby in her womb was his anymore. That was how they broke up. I don't know anymore about her story. Let us say the other guy also rejected the pregnancy, she would become a single mother. Can we blame our social director for breaking up with her? She probably would go around trying to blame the social director for her plight without telling anyone that she was the cause of the breakup. Women are very good at the pity game. So, don't believe that every single mom made a wrong choice of men. Some of the single moms are badly behaved and loose. Some of them are to blame. While I will not stop any man from dating them, I will advise that you date them with sense. Imagine a single mom telling me she had 2 kids and when I told her it was too much responsibility for me, she said I was not man enough. Women generally are manipulative. So, men should be like our fathers. Thread carefully. |
Host78:You may not get a refund easily, especially for the agent fees. But instead of fighting for a refund, speak with the landlord. The metre is registered in his name and he needs to do something about how it is used. It is not just about filling rooms with tenants. A landlord must also be concerned about certain use of properties attached to his name and identity. Tell the landlord about the issue. He should call a meeting and find a lasting solution to the problem. During my master's degree programme, I rented a self-con apartment close to school gate. There were about 14 rooms, all full. There seemed to be no light issue for almost a month until one morning, I woke up and saw light everywhere outside, but not in my own room. I went outside and discovered that it was the same for every other tenant. Only our building was affected. Soon, they sent a student to collect contribution of money to bribe NEPA. I began to wonder. Bribe NEPA for what? There was a prepaid metre, so why was the need to bribe? To cut the long story short, it turned out that the house had bypassed metre and NEPA caught them and slammed 2 million naira charge on them. Instead of finding a way to reach a common ground with the NEPA officials, the students reconnected to direct, and began tapping light from another compound. Hearing this, I went straight to the landlord to complain. He didn't respond for a long while. During the time of his silence, the boys continued to find a way to beat NEPA. They had contributed money for wire (they didn't dare come to me for contribution). So, late at night when they were sure NEPA officials would not catch them, they will connect to someone else's wire, then before 5am, they would quickly disconnect. So, we didn't always have light throughout the day for fear of NEPA. We only had light late at night into early morning. And the painful thing was that the light in that area was very good. Almost 20 hours per day. Eventually, the landlord sent some people to issue quit notice to everyone. I was issued too, but the landlord called to tell me not to worry. That I could stay. So, speak with the landlord. |
ogaemma:Who says they must target Israel military facilities? Why did Israel attack in the first place? Is the attack legitimate? Israel claims they attacked because they believe if Iran had nuclear weapons, it would attack it in the future. International laws allows preemptive attacks. But preemptive attack one described as IMMINENT, not one that would happen in the future. Israel's attack on Iran is just a bullying tactic, not a preemptive attack. And the fact that the US overtly supports Israel and Trump (the Zionist) wants to join the war reeks of nothing but bullying. Perhaps Iran has sponsored non-state attacks on Israel in the past, Israel cannot use those as preemptive defense for their unprovoked attack on Iran. US used the atomic bomb to indiscriminately wipe out the Japanese, but look at them pretending to be the only ones capable of using nuclear weapons responsibly. |
nairalanda1:What do you mean Chinua Achebe deserved the year 2000 prize? In year 2000, Chinua Achebe had not published anything since 1988 when he published his last novel "Anthills of the Savanna". You expect the Nobel committee to overlook active writers and give it to someone whose last book was published 12 years ago. When Soyinka won the Prize in 1986, Chinua Achebe had not published anything new in 20 years. His last novel at the time was "A Man of the People" published in 1966. While Achebe was inactive, Soyinka was publishing every year. Gao, who won the Prize in 2000, is not well-known in his native China, but being also French, he is well celebrated in Europe. Many Nobel prize winners are usually not commercial successes like Chinua Achebe. It doesn't mean they are obscure. There are those who read them and they usually belong to a class of readers who value profound writings. Chinua Achebe was a great storyteller, but he struggled as a writer. Imagine a novelist of his fame could only boast of 5 novels in his entire lifetime. How could someone who was inactive most of his writing life be awarded a Nobel Prize in a world where there are writers churning masterclasses nearly every year? Even Soyinka who is not primarily a novelist has as many novels as Achebe. In his genre (play), Soyinka wrote over 30 plays. The fact is Achebe was not in the same class as many of his contemporaries. He was clearly inferior. The only thing he had going for him was the success of just one of his books, "Things Fall Apart". He lived in the shadow of that book until his death while other writers like Mahfouz, Gordimer, Coatzee, Gurnah were publishing powerful books and winning the Nobel Prize. His only strength was his role as editor of the African Writers Series through which he helped many writers, including Wole Soyinka and Nadine Gordimer, to get published. This role earned him the title of "Father of African Literature." A very lame title, considering that he only wrote novels. He wrote poems too, but no one regards his poems. Father of African literature with only 5 novels. For context, Chukwuemeka Ike published close to 15 novels. And they were widely praised. Shouldn't he too have won the Nobel Prize? What about Ben Okri who is way more profound and prolific than Chinua Achebe? If any Nigerian writer should have won it after Soyinka, it wouldn't have been Achebe, as he never deserved it. Ben Okri, Femi Osofisan, Niyi Osundare, JP Clark are some writers who would have won it ahead of Achebe. |
donleo92:Israel cannot single-handely hold Iran in warfare without the help of the United States. Last year October when Iran shot ballistic missiles at Israel, who helped Israel shoot down many of these missiles? The answer is the United States. Israel has a technological edge (all thanks to the United States), but in a one-on-one, Israel will not be so confident. The way you all hype them, one would think they are even in the top ten strongest militaries in the world. Remove the United States from their back, and see whether they would still be this confident to attack Iran. |
donleo92:You people overhype Israel too much. Trump has said the US would defend Israel if Iran retaliates. That is the only reason Iran might not attack. They would hold their own against Israel. But no one wants the United States fighting against them. |
AdventureRoom:Don't pull down the post. He is going to try to scam someone else. Anyone who wants to do due diligence before doing business with him will find your post and avoid the scammer. If not that the police will want to exploit you, I will have suggested that you still report him to the police. So, just leave the post there. If he insists, block his criminal ass. |
Twist4u:How many people has he pulled out of poverty in his personal capacity? How many did he pull out when he was governor? Did poverty not almost double under him when he was governor of Anambra State? I don't know what is wrong with you Nigerians. Why do you fall so quickly for the antics of these politicians? Why? From "I had no shoes" to "Mr Incorruptible" and now, "Mr Saint Obi." The same politicians. Different messianic names. |
SmartPolician:You don't know how the almajiri system works. Being on the street is part of the almajiri education system. GEJ didn't build schools for them to take them off the street. |
I once worked at a boarding school which was built at the base of a rock formation such as this. But the school owners had first got a geologic report that the site was safe before building the school there. Moreover, there had never been a rockfall there, so that was proof that it was safe. At first, I worried myself to death about the rocks falling. But you can't beat nature. I soon began to sleep and to even sleep well at night. The cool air was a blessing. Snakes were not an issue. You would even often see them basking on the rocks during the daytime. But the big ones never came near the school. Only the babies always come. But after many killings, we stopped seeing the babies too. I ended up spending 6 years in that school. Many times, I would even stay behind during holidays (especially short holidays like Muslim holidays or mid-terms) and I would be the only one in the school. During those periods, I would oversleep because it was always cool even at midday. |
VinnyBaba:You people like to lie too much. We never won any U-17 World Cup under Obasanjo. We won an U-17 under Yar'Adua in 2007, we won another under GEJ in 2013 and we won our last one under Buhari in 2015. We have never won an U-20 World Cup. Ghana is the only African country to have won an U-20 World Cup. You also accused APC of destroying sports in Nigeria. Let me educate you even more. It was under Buhari that our female basketball team won the Afro Basketball Competition three consecutive times, making history. They won the fourth one under Tinubu. This means that before APC, the Tigress had only won the Championship two times. But under APC, they have won it a record 4 consecutive times. It was also under Tinubu (and APC) that the Tigress won their first Olympics game in 20 years and advanced to the Quarter Finals of the Olympics for the first time ever. They also became the first African basketball team (both male and female) to qualify for the Quarter Finals at the Olympics. It was also under APC, that our male basketball team won their first ever FIBA African Championship. |
Spursy:Sorry, bro. I just realized it now. I have not been as active on Nairaland as I used to be. |
Almunjid:If the questions were specifically crafted to assess students' cognitive abilities across the spectrum, from the lowest (knowledge) to the highest (evaluation or judgment). Why then did the lecturer not ask the students to answer all the questions? Continue to defend rubbish. No wonder many of our graduates are barely employable. |
Almunjid:You don't know the meaning of analyze. How can you analyze and not draw conclusions? Why would you be analyzing in the first place.
|
Omoluyi:Even so, it is still bad to believe that gender-based political culture is low. For a start, how does one even define gender-based political culture? It is just a very bad question. Too bad because it is leading, and also because it is ambiguous. |
Spursy:It is a bad question. Leading questions can only generate biased answers. A better question would be: "Analyze the sexual harassment allegation of Natasha Iduaghan against Akpabio, and draw your own conclusions." Our lecturers need to do better with stimulating the brains of their students. When you ask a leading question, you are constraining their thinking capabilities. Then, to make it worse, the examiner makes it clear that he doesn't believe that there is gender-based political culture among our politicians because he wants the students to suggests ways to boost gender-based political culture among Nigerian politicians. This is a really bad question. |
JetApartment:First of all, let us make something clear. You can have a rich CV and still be dumb as fvck. Second, only a dumb person will include certificate courses under the Education section of their CV. Certificate courses are put under "Continuing Education/Certification" Section of your CV. Certificate courses are short courses, and it is a dubious thing to include them in your "Education" section. Employers who do not work with professional or qualified recruiters or recruiting agencies may be deceived into believing that you have a degree from Harvard when all you have is a certificate of achievement in a short course from Harvard. That was how Dino lied that he had a degree from Harvard when all he did was a three-week short course at Harvard. |
Celestialsword:Why not incorporate that into the university curriculum? Many primary and secondary school now have certain skills incorporated into their curriculum? In the school where I teach, students are encouraged to own farms in the school compound. Last term, one student harvested a yam tuber that was so big, some of we (the teachers) had to help him carry it to the store room. We also have a home maker club where boys and girls are taught how to cook and bake varieties of things. And then the science club. During a science fair, a student of ours built a robot from scratch and even represented Nigeria in a science fair in Dakar. If I become president tomorrow, the NYSC will go. It has no usefulness. I would rather invest money into overhauling moribund curricula that have no progressive outlook. Nigeria needs to start looking ahead like every modern country. The NYSC will not help us get there. It would only continue to allow government steal money and access cheap labour. |
Deji Adeyanju is just chopping money up and down. It is almost like all these riffraff have him as their counsel. |
Arsenal will still never learn. Next season, they will NEARLY win it again. Always dropping points to smaller teams when they should be consolidating their position with consistence. That is the difference between them and Liverpool. |
DeepSight:You are welcome. |
descarado:You have come with your nonsense again. There is nothing occultic about it. It is a secret ballot. The Cardinals eligible to vote simply write the name of the person they went as pope and then drop it at the altar. At the end of voting, the votes are counted. If there is no 2/3 majority, the ballot papers are burnt with a chemical to produce black smoke. Then, they would have another round of voting. If they eventually get a 2/3 majority, the ballot papers are burnt with a chemical to produce white smoke. The white smoke signifies that a pope has been elected. The elected person accepts his role as pope, he is dressed up and he is taken to the balcony. Simple! |
DeepSight:That is not true. Any cardinal above 80 cannot vote. It doesn't mean they can't be voted for. Even an 100 year old Catholic male can become a pope. Although, the chances of the College of Cardinals voting for a 92-year-old man is very, very slim. |
descarado:You are saying a lot of rubbish, bro. I was a secular Franciscan before I withdrew some years back because it was not my calling. Moreover, I had my own many personal issues which made it difficult for me to commit to the fraternities and the community at large. Let me educate you. There are many kinds of priests of the Catholic Church. There are priests who take vows (typically, they always belong to a religious order like the Franciscan, Benedictine, Jesuit, Carmelites, and many others.) Their vows usually include that of celibacy and poverty. Now, the Jesuits are usually teachers. They usually teach in the seminary or mission schools. They earn salaries, but they share their salaries among themselves like the Early Church did. A community of Jesuits is called The Society of Jesus. Because the Jesuit has vowed to a life of poverty, he is not allowed to own properties or keep his salary for himself. It doesn't necessarily mean he is poor. He gets stipends from the Society of Jesus which takes care of his needs. The Jesuit is not extravagant, so even a few dollars can take care of his monthly needs. While it is true that Pope Francis is the first Jesuit to be pope, there is no hidden secret to it. Anyone, who is a baptized Catholic male can become pope, whether he belongs to an order or not, or has taken a vow or made a promise. In fact, laypersons can become pope (story for another day.) Diocesan priests don't make formal vow of celibacy, although they make what we call a "promise". Some of them are secular Franciscans like me, but even a diocesan priest can become a pope. So, stop saying rubbish that Cardinal Arinze was somehow bullied out of the papacy because he is black. Or that the Jesuit snuck one of their own into the consensus of the Conclave. As long as you get a 2/3 majority of votes of the College of Cardinals, you will become pope. Although, one cannot deny that there are elements of politics in the election of a pope. But the conspiracy that the Jesuits are the major player in the politics of the Catholic Church is nonsense. |
Wetin him dey talk sef? I no just understand. |
I wonder how her family would feel if they see this video. A beautiful girl like this. |
LordBiden:Everything is bad about it morally. It is like blood money. People's sweat are used to pay the early investors. Although the early investor's money might also be used to pay others, but there is nothing good about Ponzi schemes. If you make money there, just know that it is blood money. |
