It means something to his village. At least, na im first climb.

Someone else will be the first to climb and come back alive.

Passion to invent, that will better society, improve standard of living, solve societal problems, save, the vulnerable etc yes... But this, kind of passion is just for the "feel good, feeling"... Utterly worthless.. Again I say, chase your selfish passions, responsibly with your loved ones in mind.. why should your children suddenly become fatherless and your wife a widow just for adrenaline rush？

Well, you have a point. I agree

Well, he accomplished the mission. He just didn't live to tell the tale

What have you ever invented in your life? We are talking about people living carelessly and ending their lives prematurely you're here talking about electricity and inventions.
How exactly is climbing mount Everest making life better for humanity? Lerlarn things and come across ideas kó, cross-carpeting nii. Use your brain for once, if there is any iota of it left, that is! Idiot.

Man, it's perfectly normal. They're who they are, we're who we are. We don't bother to chase passion. At infant, parents discourage children from pursuing their talents, wanting them to be what they want. Killing the passion the child has. Whereas, they, they get encouraged to, and even get enrolled in music, filming classes, even football academies at young age.


These people have passion for something, and you know, if your ever had passion for something, you won't get satisfied until you get it done.


Same with them. Climbing it has been their life goal. And they won't forgive themselves if they don't

kernniejay:
I watched a documentary on Discovery Channel about climbers on Everest and fear gripped me. People froze alive like iced fish just because they want to reach a height that does not matter to their lives.

It doesn't matter to you. It matters to them. We all have some crazy goal we'd love to accomplish. Can be foolish to others, but it makes every sense to us.


That's their goal. Someone climbed all 7 peak without dying.

Their time to die reach, na why

AryaSand:
To think the Climbing they are climbing is not even for free sef. Paying 4million to go and die. No,Thank you!

The thing I find annoying, but interesting.

sonofElElyon:
Risk your life for selfish passion? Not reasonable.
Dying just for the adrenalin rush and throwing your family into sorrow and disarray is utterly selfish..
Engage in your passion responsibly...

Chasing passion has done more good than harm to them.

Not chasing passion has caused more regrets than "thank God I didn't do it" to us

PotatoSalad:
After watching the movie "Everest", I couldn't do anything for the rest of the day lol. Climbing up isn't the problem but climbing down, where you have to walk across thin rocks with just a rope protecting you. Goddamn. I wouldn't even try for a billion naira.

Yes you would.

sonofElElyon:
Which Yeye well done? Selfish people taking unnecessary risks and dying just for the thrill of climbing Everest while not considering the sorrow they could cause for their loved ones...

Not selfish. It's passion. Oyinbo chases passion, blacks kill passion. If you watch the Everest he recommended, you'd see the story of a man whose community contributed money for him to climb. Yes, he couldn't afford it and his local community contributed money for him to

Abini2012:
One need to the watch the movie "Everest" to really appreciate this thread. Well done Explorers.

I'm telling you. I find it fascinating. I consider Kilimanjaro though, if I ever get buoyant enough to. But I'd most likely start with Nigeria's. I love mountaineering, even as I can't afford it

All pictures so far were taken from the same background.

Omo iya. Onijogbon.

Ku ojo ibi. Emi gigun ati alaafia will be yours

Just woke up now, and realized, we lost.

Honestly, I'd even forgotten we had a match even.

I'm largely unbothered by the result. I'd dissociated myself with anything Barcelona until next season, reason why I subconsciously forgot we had a match even.

Right now, I'm only hoping that Josep's backing of Valverde is the usual vote of confidence clubs pass before sacking a coach.

As a Blaugrana, we're so used to winning than this nonsense Ernesto is giving us. Now that all Barcelona matches are done and dusted.

Alhamdulilah

Everyone keep making noise of them building their own OS and what if it was better ?? like that was the first time someone will try to build an OS , it doesn't work like that , Samsung try too with tizen OS, it failed , LG tried with WEBOS , it failed , Firefox also develop their OS which is similar to this Chromebook and also failed woefully ,Microsoft nko ? with all the money ? they failed terribly with Nokia with their window mobile OS

contrary to what u think about OS , it's not about building OS, there is what makes Google and IOS succeed in that space and I tell u for another company to enter that frame , they will spend their blood ...even u will not ditch your Gmail , WhatsApp , Facebook , Twitter for anything from Huawei , Amazon knows this ,they are using Android but it's the open source version and u can not have the regular playstore , Gmail and Co on it and with that self ,they are still not popular
u get now ? it's not about building OS it's about convincing the major developer to develop app for you , Microsoft failed with it , Amazon failed with it , Firefox failed , Samsung failed , LG failed , u need serious money to surpass match either Google or IOS in the mobile OS space

You have a very strong point. But all these changes you made, none had the direct backing of the Chinese population.

LG doesn't have a market in Africa. I'm not sure they do in Asia too. Samsung has a market in Africa, but you can't compare it to the Chinese market.

Like someone said, if not for China, a lot of people won't be using android by now. So, they have a very large market here in Africa, and Asia too. Add that to the China population. You get self sustenance.

A lot of apps on play store are paid. They can make those apps free on their market for a start, paying for them themselves, just to increase patronage. Before you know it, they are back at near the top

internationalman:
Who the hell takes their products seriously if not the inferior continents of Africa and Asia

How did they then become second best selling smartphone producer if only China patronise them?

RTSC:
Russia already sides with China since day one.

Fortunately, they are not an economic power so their support means nothing.

I won't think so. Russia and US aren't exactly friends, so, Russia can actually support China to topple US. What am I saying sef?


Russia can and should support China by making them their priority instead of china. So they will contribute to China's economy directly.


It's all supposition anyway.

dermmy:
You guys are ignorant about the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Go and do research on Balfour declaration 1917, Sykes-Picot agreement, Al-Nakbah. If you want to understand the politics of the middle east especially the Israel-Palestinian conflict don't take sides, forget about your religious dogma and look at the activities and games of both sides critically and draw your convlusion else you will starve yourself of vital intellectual facts.

God bless you for this...

internationalman:
As long as the world leader thinks they pose threat to national security let the ban continue..

Please America don't ever let China come anywhere close to being the world power..

It's a pity everyone really thinks China is the enemy and US is the savior.

In case you forgot, china is the most populated country on earth, 1.3b people, they would very much cope without US. They would market their things and use. Then, there's the African market, including Asian market too. Since Buhari got there, he's been romancing China abi unA don forget too?


It's china here, they will develop their own App Store, OS, everything themselves and rest of the World would Patronise them. After all, only UK and US have complied thus far.


Make una wait till Russia sides with China

He is mad. Why?

Do we even need to hear why?

Not 1, but 4. And you're even bothering to say why.

I'd have asked if he wants to be unfortunate in life, but he already is.

airmark:
Busquets the best dm ever, nowhere to be found in his country. He is the Spanish scam of the decade, with so many trophies he was carried to win.

You will always be missing. Like always.


But the day Sergio is found wanting, you'd turn up like he's always been MIA.

If he's as bad as you tag him to be, you're supposed to stay on his neck match in match out ,even when we win. But no, you'll disappear for 35 matches in a season and show the 3 matches we lose.


Such a pity

You came around the streets, what's up?


Iceboy, you're doing a pretty awesome job here. And it gladdens my heart that most of the aspirants here have amazing jamb results. Our sets olodo plenty, I'm among too o.

Anyway, just continue the lords work.

The amount of corruption in this administration everywhere in the country is so defeating.


So much for all the anti corruption fight.

What a pity!!!

I've been in the exact same situation, last year. It was a 3 year relationship, not 4. And she broke off cos of the same exact reason.

I didn't care enough to check on her for 2 weeks.


Here's the thing, I knew she were lying. Because prior to that, I had called her, daily, consecutively, for 4/5 days, and she missed all, didn't return any ,but kept coming online daily on WhatsApp, still didn't message me on WhatsApp. This meant one thing, she was seeing my calls, but ignoring them. So, I stopped calling for the supposed 2 weeks. And she called me on the 15th day to break up with me over text message in the middle of my final exams which made me wonder why she had to pick that exact moment to break up with me. Arguably the most important stage of my life.

I enquired, she gave the reason, somehow, I managed to put everything behind me and focus on my exams. By the time I finished, plus the 2 weeks prior, I'd gotten a bit over it. Her antics, and lies made it easier for me to get over her.

Took me a month, and great deal of focus on my exams to get over it. You need something important to bury your head in, something that would make you rarely think about her. By the time some weeks pass, you'd have gotten used to not thinking about her.

Same applies for ladies also. Good luck to us all

Isomerizm:
Valverde had the chance to offload Rakitic to PSG at a high sum+ Rabiot. Dude refused. Weeks later, he wanted to sign Willian from Chelsea at 80m. It was unsuccessful. He tried again, weeks later, this time 50m+Malcom.

I won't even touch his style of play and tactic-less life. Those ones speak for themselves.

This is the coach Barto wants.

Out enemy isn't Valverde. Our enemy is Bartomeu.

I thought we all knew this?

BREAKING: Ronald Koeman was seen leaving the Hotel Sofia de la Diagonal - the building is owned by Barça's vice president, Jordi Mestre - in Barcelona! [ @sinconcesiones ] Another announcement soon?

‼️ Ronald Koeman paid a visit to Barça's offices at 11AM, and around 45 minutes later, at 11:55AM, was seen at the Hotel Sofia, according to @Marsallorente

Bartomeu: "Valverde said it the other day: he has the support of the president and the board. He's the coach we want - this is a 'medium' and long-term project. He has a contract and we're very happy with him. Now it's about the player's recovering from the heavy blow."

Bartomeu opens up about new SIGNINGS and Valverde: "The planning of next season has been underway for some time. There are already players who've signed, and we'll talk about them when the [Copa] final has been played." [LaSexta TV via MARCA]

That's like, 325k per week
