Lebron has been to the finals eight times, but how many has he won? remind me when he loses in the finals again. |

DevdanSanguine:What the hell does that mean "only way out",he had other offers. Lebron went to a team that won the championship, 3 years prior, and still had their guard in Dwayne Wade,and a very good addition in Chris Bosh. He should have stayed, given that his team reached the NBA finals a few years prior.The fact is Lebron James joined a potential championship Team(they did it a few years prior), KD likewise joined a team that lost in the last NBA finals, who woudn't savour the offer, playing with one egoist, eclipsing my shine, and receiving a better treatment, or some amenable guys in Dub nation, and given the circumstances he found himself in at OKC, i will call that the only way out. He is enjoying himself now, isn't he, almost sweeping the so called King. hahahaha. 1 Like |

DevdanSanguine:Lebron cannot guard Durant either. Meanwhile i never said Durant guarded Lebron alone, that would be blasphemous (as Stephen A Smith would say), nonetheless he guarded him most of the time, when he was on the court. And a king quiver as your last sentence suggested, he caved in.If he is the King, then he must deliver regardless.And i don't see anything changing come January, because with the return of Isiah Thomas, and Stephen curry.In the worst scenario these two will nullify each other. On paper Cleveland is losing again in January. And for the officiating, i will give you the third 1,that was a foul, Lebron admits himself that he lost the ball during the penultimate encounter, when the ball went out of bounds. Crowder fouled Durant too, and it wasn't called. Your King falters in the 4th quarter when it matters most.If he wants to win another title, he needs to change his attitude in the final couple of minutes. Otherwise, the best he will get is triple doubles. |

birdman:Are you talking about all time accolades or the present statusquo. I am sorry, though Durant is nowhere near Lebron, considering their overall careers, Durant is better at this point, seeing is believing, he outplayed Lebron in their christmas match up, he guarded lebron most of the time, thus he was most instrumental in limiting Lebron to a low 20 points. And for skills, he is probably better than Lebron now, skillwise. |

Now that your team has recovered from the slump, there would be no excuse, for getting your ass kicked again.Savor the moment.You might be able to guard 4 or 5 positions, but there are just some players you cannot guard. |

Eruditor:most basketball fans and analysts ignore the importance of curry to the GSW team,the fact that he dictates the pace of GSW attack.KD is a great score no doubt, moreso, his towering height singles him out for dominance.I have been following Curry's career and there is 1 quality he has that i admire, patience.I think he handled KD's presence well by stepping back,it effected the team's dominance throughout their title run.People wondered how they would play together, 1 of the two had to give in to the other,cos they are accustomed to different plays, unfortunately people don't care about the intangibles, the creator of the atmosphere of excellence, they only care about the tangibles in this atmosphere,but due to his singular ability to surprise the basketball world while he is not under pressure, as he did in his MVP seasons,I have a feeling that he will dominate offensively this season(ahead of KD), and his stats will be generally impressive. 4 Likes |

CC: masperano,naturalwaves I only need a contradiction to prove that a solution is wrong. Let us test ur solution naturalwaves. You insist that , the solution to the inequality 1/(3x)+1/4<(3x)/8 is x>-2/3,x>4/3, so we generalize this to the open interval(-2/3,∞) 1 satisfies the above interval, substituting it into the original equation, we have 7/12<3/8, which is false, this is where you had a problem, in your original solution(in pen), you wrote x>-2/3 or x>4/3, now this logic is inconsistent with the inequality (3x+2)(3x-4)>0, it should have been x>-2/3 and x>4/3, which implies x>4/3, the individual solutions x>-2/3,x>4/3 satisfy the equations on the left respectively and independently, but remember we only require the product of the 2 equations to be less than 0(you lost otuch of that while solving the problem), our individual solutions must be combined. Masperano, apparently, you have a different solution, x<-2/3 or x>4/3, unfortunately your solution is wrong too,let's assume you are right, natural waves tried to test your solution, and he rightly tested it, though -2/3 is not -0.7, it is -0.66666666666666666...., but -0.9<-2/3, so naturalwaves' test number was correct.What appeals to me is a solution that work's not the mathematical formality.You were both wrong because your analysis was wrong, 1 half of your solution was right:x>4/3,but the other:x<-2/3 is wrong, you forget something, in your initial problem, the highest degree of x is 1, hence there is likely only 1 solution,but your intermediate solution, 36x^2-24x-32>0 has two distinct solutions,it isp ossible that only, one of the solutions of the intermediate step satisfies the main problem.To show this you will realize that the test number -0.9 satisfies the intermediate solution, but does not satisfy the main problem, which natural waves used in testing your solution. This might not have been the problem the poster intended, but nonetheless it is an interesting questions.Our solutions to problems usually depends on our inclination, some lay emphasis on mathematical formality others lay emphasis on solving the problem at hand.Whichever intermediate step you apply, your solution must satisfy your problem without condition. |

naturalwaves:Hello bros, your method is quite not right too.I am saying this considering the fact that books can be wrong, there is a little problem in your logic of your solution to this problem.We don't usually solve loan problems such as these the same way we solve simple interest on a principal savings.Don't you think that given the ease with which you solved the problem, the author could have easily gotten that too.My method is a little tedious but effective, if i find a more compact 1, i will post later.First you must understand that the value of the loan you are to pay per month changes depending on how much you pay per month.So for example for a loan of 50000 naira, if i pay 2000 naira in the first month, i will have a loan of 50000+0.01(50000)-2000=48500(note that the rate 0.01 used is equivalent to 0.12 per annum) , that is i will have a total loan of 48500 to offset, next month.Now the question wants you to calculate the constant amount you have to pay per month,so that by the end of the 36th month you have paid the accumulated loan.It was a little complicated trying to solve the problem from the first month, so i decided to begin from the end of the 36th month, where total loan is zero through to the 1st month.Attached is the solution.I hope the guy who posted the question can see this too.So the answer provided by the book is approximately right afterall. Pardon my handwriting. [b]MODIFIED[/b]monthly installment=y=1660.715 naira,THE SECOND IS THE MODIFIED VERSION

| Politics › Re: If Buhari Is Not Running In 2019, I Will Go With Atiku Abubakar. by benji93: 6:00pm On Sep 07, 2017 |
Alcatraz005:Bullshit, if Atiku is the best that Nigeria can produce, then we better dissolve this country. I am finding it hard to comprehend the customary rule that the presidency must alternate between North and South, this only lends credence to the distrust that has brewed over,how can this country still exist as a whole while the distrust between us is brewing over.If the Northerners can trust the southerners with the presidency for more than 8 years and vice versal, then we are really dumb to think that staying together while the present system of government persists is the best thing for us.Wait ooo, did you just mention wealth as 1 of repertoire of reasons that makes Atiku a worthy choice. If you think the wealthy never aggrandize more wealth then you are still slumbering away.In fact wealthy people are probably better equiped to loot without traces.Poor people loot sloppily, it is only in a comatose state such as Nigeria that we are unable to implement an effective anti-corruption campaign.It is only in a shamble country like this 1, that layered solutions are built inwardly.Like a hen does to it's chicks, the federal government takes charge of all the proceeds from all produce, and partitions a part of it into small bits, and then says oya my chicks come ooo, iwo Nassarawa take small, iwo ogun state take small, iwo ekiti(meanwhile that 1 try, he buys rice and beans for residents of his state,mtcheew nonsense) take small,iwo akwa ibom take small.What nonsense!.disgraceful and pitiful.I would prefer the state government run the federal government and not the other way round,but given that the location of our most valued natural resource is lop-sided, development and/or revenue embezzlement would be too lop-sided as well. That's not healthy. we develop and steal together.So the federal government could be incharge, but no responsible would keep funding the adventures of a prodigal son.No responsible federal government will keep funding an unproductive state.I don't care what the population of kano is, if kano state does not make progress in projects to which funds have been allocated,limit funds allocated to them to 0 as their unbridled non-execution approaches infinity, until they learn some sense.You don't give an habitually wayward child a pat on the back, you slap correction into his head.And the allocation of funds to multiple grand projects only serves the purpose of stimulating people to believe, you are here to work, it is not a healthy way of executing projects.You need only 1 earmark, gbam, den complete am.You don't allocate funds just to start a project, if you cannot complete it.If Nigerians cannot elect leaders unless they talk up their ambition of completing 10-20 projects, then we deserve all that is coming to us. This will help us better monitor their shoddy dealings as well,if Mr lagbaja decides to serve his country as the president, he presents the blue print for 1 grand project, for example, building massive solar panels across the country.He tells you that ooo, it will take 3 years and so so money to complete this project.Everyone concentrates on this.The experts weigh the viability of this project within the time frame, and the funds required and decide if lagbaja really deserves the benefit of the doubt.He is elected if it is worth it, after the project, he decides to commence another project, he says, ooo senate and Nigerians at large, i would embark on revamping the facilities in our schools, i won't be able to complete it, i only have a year before the next general election, but he presents a blue print, and a progress pre-report, the senate evaluates it, if they find it viable, they hold him accountable to it.If he doesn't, then you have a reason to probe the execution for corruption.Since the projects are passed as bills, then the senate must make sure the suceeding government completes the project.D ont settle for medicrity.I have too much to say.Out i go.Nigerians think.............................................................. 1 Like |

hiroz:Wha do you mean by waste?when with the ball, he plays good footbalb(control, pace and skill) he only comes short in the final third, i hope he builds his confidence in that regard.As far as i am concerned, he is a better striker than Lukaku, when it comes to moving into positions, what lukaku does better is finishing. Today Lukaku was saved by his goal.He doesn't do much outside scoring, and that will be a problem against sides with equal or better quality, where you need every player to contribute.If his suppliers are starved, Lukaku and manchester are in trouble, this is probably why we need Rashford to improve on his finishing, he does most things well except this.Just take a look at the chanvce rashford missed today,in the lead up, Rashford moved into a position most likely to put him in front of goal.That's the instinct every complete striker needs, lukau lacks it.Let's just enjoy them moment, the squad is quite good now. 1 Like |

DanielGb:Domination ke, that's quite extreme, Nigerians overseas compete and excel, True.But the Chinese and the Indians excel overseas as well,in most cases they do better. The point is given our differences, the process of restructuring would only work on paper at best.I have always thought true federalism should work for Nigeria,where the states are granted complete autonomy,and the local governments are the most empowered,and the state and individuals take charge of resources.However given our greed, i don't think our greedy leaders will ever come to a consensus.I do not think our leaders will do the restructuring without a major shake up,across all political fronts.Given that the natural resources are a little lob-sided.The south south accounts for most of the reserves discovered thus far, no selfish person would want lose out on that. Inorder to return power to the state, where it should belong.The federal government must allow each state draft it's own constitution, then their representation in the senate, will decide on the federal constitution, if we should scrap what we have now.So we have come a long way,redirecting our steps to true federalism might require that we retrace of steps far back.The restructuring process will take years and years of careful planning to be actualized if our leaders will embark on it.However, i do not trust this power-hungry greedy leaders we have. |

GenJuma:What are you saying bros, quality education can be free, infact it should be free for citizens, some of the developed European countries offer good quality education to their citizens(Germany, Norway,Sweden e.t.c),some of these countries offer undergraduate education to all students both international and domestic.Turkey does the same to its citizens(in public institutions).So do not be deceived, with proper planning, quality education can be offered for free.The fact that Nigeria has not gotten to this point,despite God in his infinite wisdom and mercies endowed us with a lot of natural resources, shows that our leadership are nothing but far from being visionary and probably Nigerians in general are just dull-headed or are just not wary of the future.Nigeria has not produced any visionary leader,who eventually presided over affairs for a while(>8 years), since independence.I find it difficult to understand that, every single person that has ruled over this pitiful country of pitiable people was born before independence.The average age of the incorrigibly notorious senate(upper house) is 55,what kind of country is this? In the spirit of hopelessness, i believe this failed Nigeria state must die,so the dawn of a new beginning comes upon us,whether as semi- autonomous regional entities bounded together in a region or as entities with redefined geographies.

The burden of headship rests on the man not the woman.The woman is the glory of the man, as christ is the glory of the man.Do not be deceived, a woman was borne of the desire of a man.God commanded from the beginning,Genesis 1 vs 6:“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”This are some of the dictates that must continue to the end of time.If man will be held responsible for all teachings-true or false, then man must deliver these teachings.This is not to say, women cannot involve themselves in scriptural discussion or provide biblical information, such as quoting the scripture in related discussions.Also men could discuss matters with women, especially ones directly involving them.But in the end the decision of which teaching is right, wrong,suitable or unsuitable rests with the man.As far as the impartation of scriptural teaching is concerned, it is the responsibility of a man.May God help us. |
