If u know half of what Obama administration did in Nigeria, u will vomit your guts out.

Really? Wow!

So it wasn't Amaechi and Tinubu and Dangote and that Elderly Widow that Sponsored Buhari again wow!

Good to know.

The Current Administration has totally disappointed. True. But enough with these contradictory stories already.

KingAzubuike:
And many of them don't know anything but they keep saying nonsense thinking they are sensible.

I am probably going to accept my ignorance on the whole issue(well knowing very very little).

Could you help I and many others summarize your stand on the issue?— Make us know more.

Is Suleimani really a good guy who the US unnecessarily murdered? I sincerely look to know.

The little I know is that he is a prominent figure of the Baqir Brigade. A group currently geared towards thwarting US interests. I also know that (US or no US) Iran currently has an oppressive regime with Govt. Clamp down leading to the death of hundreds of protesters in Nov 2019. The govt even shut down the internet to limit the flow of info/effectiveness of the protests.

sanusi44z:
Sense is far from you.

Who has iran bombed? Or where have you heard of an Iranian suicide bomber?

Iran is a sovereign nation not a terrorist group. Iran does not support terrorists, infact the assassinated general defeated ISIS in Iraq. Most terrorists group are Sunni, Boko haram, taliban, ISIS and co, and they hate Iran.

Americans are scared of war, protesting in the cities but some lunatics sitting in one corner in Nigeria are calling for war.

War is Terrible. I certainly don't wish for one.

I don't know "much" about international Warfare but even I know about the Baqir Brigade.

It is supposed to be a Militia group in Syria but other Nationals with anti-western rhetorics soon joined in. One of such Prominent figures is the Slain Iranian Gen.

I don't know why he was involved with such a group (seeing he isn't from Syria) but he was Certainly a strong influence on that group. Research it.


As we speak there are a lot of people IN IRAN celebrating his assas. Over hundreds of protesters he
allegedly ordered murdered 3 months ago.

I don't know enough to judge these situations but be rest assured most murdered "Generals" have been really bad actors....I mean....these are Generals not foot soldiers.

PointZerom:
“As we sign out, we remind the Federal Government that it is high time it listened to the Muslims’ demand for the declaration of 1st Muharram as a public holiday in parity with 1st January public holiday".



Is first January a Christian holiday or new year holiday for everyone?.

This Muric most be a mad man.

Not Originally for everyone.

The 12 months as we know it was majorly a Greaco-Roman creation.

Certainly not in tandem with Muslim and Chinese Calendar. The Chinese for instance have their new Year in February and name years by animals (symbolic to them).

These people as Independent as they want to be would never give in to celebrating the Roman(By extension Western) VIEW of the world.
It would mean they have lost the Global Power struggle.

TOSIN116:
Not today tho... Negative filter.

Hahaha!

Funny enough— if you don't know— there are certainly apps that can reverse engineer(undo the Negative and see your true picture) the effect you've created.

If you didn't want to, you probably shouldn't have posted at all.

TechCapon:
Messi is not criticized because of his loyalty to Barcelona. Ronaldo was loyal to man utd and sir Ferguson but he left, xavi was loyal to Barcelona but he left, Henry was loyal to arsenal but he left, lampard was loyal to Chelsea but he left and the list goes on and on. Messi is different. He's scared of leaving. Ronaldo even said Messi should come over to Italy so they can compete with each other but Messi chickened out.

Hahahaha!


Are you not being a bit hasty here.

Both Lampard and Henry never started their professional careers at Chelsea & Arsenal respectively.

Again where did Xavi leave to ? Quatar's Al Sadd FC. Are you serious?

If Staying in a particular club really confers some form of special advantage to a player, Could you name a One-club Player better than CR7?

Alabifirstson:
what are doing in Maiduguri? NGO work?

Do you really think the whole of Borno is unlivable ?

Wow! We (those outside typically) tend to overstate the security situation(even though it really is bad).

ijustdey:
https://m.guardian.ng/news/obasanjo-knocks-ambode-for-abandoning-lagos-rail-project/

I once saw a documentary that harped that Light rail projects (popularized in America has never been successful in populous cities). It's possible that more than 300M$ has been put into lightrails in Nigeria already. Wow!

seniormallam:
The reason why they abandoned the electricity section of the dam was simply because the output cannot do better than a Mikano , so the farming section has since been fully explored.......... 40mw is just for one local govt na.......... But at all at all na him bad.

40 MW for one local government Haba!

Nigeria's current Official installed capacity is less than 10000MW and you say 40 MW is for one LGA ?

That would Mean that our current configuration has around 30000MW then (i.e 774 x 40) , which is not the case So 40 would typically be at least far more than one LGA.

seniormallam:
Can you tell me when they started the project and when PMB ruled as head of state?

Hahaha!

To be fair though, Some may argue that the 1 yr and 8 mnths period within which PMB reigned as HOS was not enough time to complete the Project in the 80s.

A great many people may have fed fat off of this Project.

Blindersoff:
That is for them to decide

Since it is not a captive plant power arrangement,
It would eventually contribute to electricity distributed within/around the locale through the relevant Electricity distribution companies— Whether or not it is connected to the Grid.

helinues:
Whats the meaning of this title ' Indigenous Hausa Christians Of Kano '

It's self descriptive.

The Op means Indigenes of Kano who are Hausas and Christians.

I must confess I didn't know that there were Hausas who are indigenes of Kano and also Christians. I knew there were in Kaduna though.

onedayatime:
True.
To be fair enogh, you are a dumbass. What has Messi got to do with African Player of the Year award?

Title say: Salah, Mane & Mahrez Make Top 3 Finalists For African Player Of The year . Messi is an Argentine. An Argentine is someone from Argentina and Argentina is in South America. They have their own football association call CONMEBOL. If you want him to win CONMEBOL, then follow CONMEBOL.

No come here dey spit thrash again. Biko

Calm down.

You didn't take time to read the guy I quoted.

He said How do you win UCL and not win player of the year... He then said " Thunder fire Messi and CR7".

I.e. referring to Mane and Salah missing out on Global awards.

Sure enough they currently are the best in Africa that's not really disputable this year.
The guy I quoted lamented their loss at global/uefa awards, not this one(African). Cheers.

StrikeBack:
Mane biko




How can you win UCL and you are not winning player of the year


Thunder fire Messi and Ronaldo

True.

To be fair though. They(the two) weren't as effective as is thought in Liverpool's UCL win.

Calm down...

They lost half of their group fixture games in the UCL. (Including Against red star Belgrade).
They Lost the first leg against Barca in the semi-final. (A game in which both of them prominently featured).

Salah (while a good player) didn't even feature in the 2nd leg. Mane (who played) was Certainly not key in Liverpool's great comeback. (Himself missing clear-cut opportunities).
They were salvaged by their team mates (Origi & Vinny's) heroics.
Salah came to score a penalty in the final but this would not have happened without Origi's heroics previously.

Barca only lost one game in The whole UCL 2018/19.
I.e. the game against Liverpool.

No Liverpool player had 70% MOTM awards Messi had in the campaign. It's easy to say they won the Champions league so they had a better campaign but you would have to add Salah + Mane + Firminho's goals to reach Messi's 12.

So there you have it, you decide.

hello everyone, i was eligible for exemption but i decided to write the exam. The result went south, i wanna know if i can still apply for exemption??

Sure.

Call their students affairs unit.

Jackyboy:
My resolve...... Untill person carry me go say this is my person. I've stopped wasting my time applying for jobs in this country. A foreign grad with 1st class without job only in Nigeria, cos I no get Godfather.

Abeg am based in Port Harcourt any geneiune job opportunity am game....contact me via WhatsApp zero8zero94617671.

Sometimes I wonder back then, when guys were pressing piano and I was busy burning candles.

Must everybody dirty there hands to make it in this country

Most certainly you'll get a job. It also helps that you are intelligent.

However, do you really feel any "Higher" or more entitled to one particularly for being a "foreign grad"?

My opinion, if you don't take offense is that you shouldn't. In fact you should take no much thought about being a foreign grad. That should be a consideration left for your potential employers.
It may well be taking it's toll on you seeing you MAY have been (a little) less worried if you weren't foreign trained.

I think that the biggest problem we have as people sometimes may be to subconsciously think that we are special. especially due to a few distinctive achievements of ours. In fact we aren't that special.

We are different ? yes (through various privileges and efforts) but soon we may be hit by a reality that then reminds us of our "not so special" status.

You certainly would get a job by God's grace. Cheers.

qualityGod:
A friend of mine paid 700k for a piece of land for poultry business but the payment was made by hand not bank deposit.

The issue now is the person that received the money switch off his phone and can't be trace please how can he go about it .

Sad.

Lack of trust may be the single largest impediment to our growth both as a nation and as individuals.

In Nigeria you can't explore a single investment opportunity without thinking of 5 safeguards for that investment. This kind of thinking is limiting.

Almost no one can be trusted, even the proverbial "very elect" could deceive you.

ShitStain:
And how did you come up with your ratio good sire?

It means goal per game ratio.
Where 100% = 1 goal per game on average by the player.

Munzy14:
It's not by contributing to a conversation.

there are people who are just dumb....lack ideas on general issues, very awkward in nature.

I think I get what you mean but I still wouldn't call anyone dumb (Much less one who has no diagnosed medical condition).

People are complex beings with (sometimes ) unexplored sides to them.

Humans (including the ones you may view as dumb) are capable of achieving great things, sometimes unexplainably. And I am no motivational guy.

Munzy14:
True.

I don't even know how some people cope with dumb personalities.

Hahaha!

Are there really dumb personalities ? Or just people with whom you don't have shared interests.

It's funny how we Nigerians tend to reduce intelligence to being able to "hold conversations on International politics/economics".

What if that is not my Kettle of fish? I become dumb?
What if my interests are in Deep sea exploration or Big data analytics or even recent developments in cancer research ? Can you also have meaningful conversations on those?

Some see International politics/economics as pretentious conjectures, where everyone is an "expert"— while the subject discussed is often completely outside the control of the discussants.

Ego might be what's at play sometimes.
It forces some of us to indulge in interests we don't really care about deeply.

It always seems nice being able to make "contributions" to public discussions on int'l politics but it shouldn't mean those who can't/don't are dumb.

Intelligence, while good, is not as effective as people imagine though. I would always prefer resourcefulness.


God help us.

ITbomb:
Most of these northern politicians are from outside Nigeria

Most?
Really ? Can you prove this?
Do you know that if this is true the opponents should have known (and proved this) more than you do?

On the flip side, haven't we all on this platform praised Nigerians in diaspora who have attained positions of political authority in US and the UK.

Is it strange for us to permit this [if the fellow] has stayed long enough and has the clout/leadership in the said state?

Ebencoula14:
He out scored both Messi and ribery!

That's not what I asked.

I said what did he achieve THAT year that Messi didn't achieve THIS year?

So if he was good enough THAT year why isn't Messi good enough THIS year?

Le124:
They can never complain because he has never won any controversial world footballer of the year, unlike Messi that this will be the 3rd controversial award is collecting when he did not deserve it

Really?

Anything can be labeled controversial.

In 2013 CR7 won the BD0 without winning any major trophy.

Could you tell us the tangible achievement he won that year that Messi didn't achieve this year to win that award.
I didn't say he (cr7) didn't merit that one. Neither would I say he did.

These awards are votes based. People would vote whomever they please.

RisenPhoenix:
No. I wasn't even a 10th joking. It's my serious observation that the longer men remain unmarried, the more they resent a wife invading their space, and the less likely they are to tolerate said invaders. I also seriously think that this is a very relevant factor in divorces by men who marry late.

If nothing else, the sheer number of positive responses to my postulation would probably tentatively establish this view as being somewhat accurate; much like a questionnaire thingy. And much as I hate to admit this, NL does form a much more representative sample of 'normal' people than Hollywood.

Don't mistake positive responses for good thinking.

In this age of herd syndrome, we tend not to think things through at times. You are a pro-marry-early proponent. Fine. Ride on. You don't have to taint others as being intolerant for doing different.

You just admitted up here that there are literally "thousands" of factors that drive divorces. By that admission you should be wrong then [or at least contradicting] yourself.

RisenPhoenix:
Hey, lighten up. Since I was not aware that every opinion made on NL had to have undergone a peer review, or been previously published in the science journal or on the APA board, I didn't think it was necessary to calculate the chi square determination or the Spearman rho correlation coefficient.

But since you are going that route, I might as well point out the flaw in your postulation as well. Even if true, the presence of a larger population of under 40s divorcees in Hollywood does not in any way disprove my postulation that over 40s are more intolerant of someone invading their space...and there are literally thousands of factors that could affect those divorces. Hollywood is hardly a representative sample of 'normal' people anyway. But nice attempt.

Spot on.

If you did recognize that, according to you "there are thousands of factors that affect divorces", why are you then pushing your theorem as any bit effective.

As for lightening up. Remember I first asked if your postulation was a joke and you said no.

So can I ask again if your postulation is at least half a joke?

dancok:
correct guy, that's what my fear, am a yoruba guy, is common here they like to marry money or no money and this children will come into poverty, when ever they see u looking good they will say na marriage e remain o,

Is there really a difference between igbos and Yorubas in this area?

If he claims that igbos Don't bring children into suffering (as a reason for not marrying "early" )then that's funny. Why? Because there are a LOT of really economically disdvantaged igbo children all over the country. Don't you see them? Didn't people bring them into this world. And I am not talking about orphans.

I shudder as to how people subconsciously prop up tribal sentiments into issues.

RisenPhoenix:
Hit a nerve?

No.
I certainly disagree with your point BUT your point is still vague. One must at least know what you mean by "long" to put your theorem to the test.

I don't know what is responsible for divorces as most claim. But it is not hard to think of what gives any relationship (Business, Marriage etc.) a potential
to last long. It's respect. Nothing more.

It's also known as not taking each party for granted.

Any other "age" story is anecdotal and may not be a strong enough framework to base any decisions of off.

America's Hollywood provides an ample enough sample size to examine any divorce related postulations and everyone would agree that for each divorce by a party [above 40] in Hollywood there are multiple divorces by parties [below 40].

RisenPhoenix:
The proprietary feeling develops gradually so there is no specific age that you suddenly get it. The longer you are alone, the more you get used to it.
And no, I'm not joking. I have observed this trait in many older men who married late. They can never be really satisfied with a wife. At that point they only want a housegirl with benefits, and woe betide her if she should make her presence in the house felt.

Ok.

You could start by giving us the median age of the ones you know.

RisenPhoenix:
When you wait too long before you marry, you get comfortable in the self-centred bachelor lifestyle. Any wife after that will be seen as an intruder in your home, eating your food and destroying your appliances. It won't last before you vex pack the 'guest' commot.

Hahahaha!

You didn't say what age is " too long" though and how you came about that number.

I suppose you are joking though.

blowjohn:
He was outstanding that year.
Messi was messed up last season!

What exactly is "outstanding"? Be specific.
What individual achievement did he make that year that Messi didn't have this year.

UCL top scorer. Laliga top scorer . Uefa golden boot. Etc. Specify the "outstanding". Let's know it.

blowjohn:
He has a point.
Messi lost 3 trophies last season.
That's a lot!

Really?

So kindly explain how CR7 won BDO in 2013 despite winning no Major trophy - not even laliga.

I am not saying he didn't deserve it, or that he did.
I am putting your logic to a general test.

Cr7 remains a footballing great.

Beverlyjean:
No soccer player has suffered more than Ronaldo .... He has been denied multiple achievements due to the wicked people of the world... Messi fans will say he doesn't fit to lace the boots of Messi ...can u imagine how daft people are ... Ronaldo deserved 2012 balon d'Or but it was given to Messi cos he scored 90 goals even after Ronaldo wrestled la Liga away from Messi ...Messi won nothing that yr ... The following yr Ronaldo then scored 78 goals , FIFA had no choice but to give him ahead of ribery cos they knew he deserved it the previous yr ... Messi won balon d'Or in 2010 despite being knocked out 4.0 in the quarter final against Germany despite not registering a single goal in that world cup ... Sneider won CL , Copa Italia and serie A , got to the final of the WC and was also joint top scorer in the WC ... Forward to 2018 ... Ronaldo became the first man in CL history to score in 10 consecutive games , he won lots of gAnes for them and they won the CL ...he scored the finest goal last yr against juve in Turin ... But they also robbed him of that ,giving it to one normal goal Salah scored in the epl ... Modric then went ahead to win balon d'Or ahead of him despite being disgraced in the final by France ... Alot of people here said modric deserved it just because they dint want Ronaldo to overtake Messi ... Now 2019 , Messi wins it again despite Ronaldo winning more trophies for club and country ... What did Messi win that mbappe , aguero , lewandovski dint win ... Despite registering only one goal in the Copa and being knocked out ... This balon d'Or is nothing but a scam Messi is meant to hv won only 3 balon d'Or ... 2009, 2011 and 2015 ... Ronaldo 2008 , 2014, 2016, 2017 , 2018

You are contradicting yourself.

"Ronaldo deserved 2012 balon d'Or but it was given to Messi cos he scored 90 goals even after Ronaldo wrestled la Liga away from Messi ...Messi won nothing that yr ... The following yr Ronaldo then scored 78 goals , FIFA had no choice but to give him ahead of ribery cos they knew he deserved it the previous yr"...

How can you claim that a Body(FIFA) robbed a player of an award one year, but had to give him the next year because "he deserved it".
A body cannot be Meritorious in one year and Biased another — Based on your opinions alone.

The awards are votes based. Democracy is not perfect. Criticise the voters (team captains/journalists) for being ignorant if you want, but it is funny to choose/pick when FIFA was biased and when they aren't.
