Foreign Affairs / Re: Israel's Iron Dome Intercepts Rockets From Gaza (Video) by blaze83(m): 1:44pm On Oct 09, 2023 |
lordchiz: The Iron Dome was overwhelmed. Apparently, the HAMAS discovered that firing thousands of missiles within a short space of time would overpower the Iron Dome, so there fired over 5,000 missiles within 20 minutes which overwhelmed the Iron Dome. Previously, the Iron Dome had withstood even more than 5,000 missiles, but the difference was the over 5,000 missiles were fired over weeks, not a matter of minutes like it was on Saturday. Still on still, the Iron Dome did a good job, imagine what 5,000 missiles could have done to a country as small as Israel if not for the Iron Dome that intercepted most of it. 1 Like |

NYSC / Re: One Year And More After NYSC - How Is It Going? by blaze83(m): 7:13pm On Jul 17, 2023 |
Tri7nity: Served in 2019 as a Graduate Assistant in a University in South South,. Being that I read a course (Petroleum Engineering) in the university that required strong connection to get a job (My 400L IT na connection I use get am) and I even graduated with a Second Classs Lower, I knew it was gonna be really hard out there. I used my life saving at the time (About 100k) to buy a London Used laptop and started learning programming while serving. Before the end of my service year, my house was burgled and my laptop stolen, I almsot lost hope. Heck, I went to a Babalawo to help me retrieve my laptop but the baba na cruise, nothing worked. After service year, my HOD in the university tried to get my retained as I was really helpful to them, and the department actually needed staffs, it was a new faculty, barely 2 years old, but omo, Graduate Assistant work for University na still connection. The university were to pay us extra stipends as corpers, but they didn't pay it monthly, everything was lumped up and the whole 11 months paid at the end of service year, totally around 120k (12k per month). I used 50% of the money again to get a second hand laptop from a friend this time (The guy sha gave me a dying laptop), continued my learning. Need to add I was also trading forex and binary initially too, but stopped after several losses. I went home after the university work no work out and my rent almost expiring. 3 months later, I miraculously got an Oil and Gas job without knowing anyone, just went to the interview, passed the written and oral test and got the offer. 170k net exclusive of HMO, lunch and other benefits, also got a brand new laptop. I was doing the work, used the new laptop to be learning programming, this time, more slowly cos of the burden of work. 2020, Covid year...I was part of those "sacked" as Covid hit the oil industry hard. Meanwhile, before being sacked, we stayed at home for 3 months doing nothing, just collecting money every month. I used that time to accerlerate my learning, I started programming by learning Python so it was easy for me to apply that to data science. The sack came and I used the opportunity to apply for internships in tech, I got Data Science internships where I wasn't even paid. I learned while also applyng to Oil and Gas jobs and even went for interviews. Long story short, God has been faithful, today I earn with multiple tech skills I acquired over the years. Still building capacity, while thanking God for how far I've come, and how far I trust He can still take me. Don't despair guys, equip yourselves with relevant skills and keep pushing. 3 Likes |

Family / Re: I Am Really Depressed, My Mom's Death Is Killing Me! by blaze83(m): 8:15pm On May 31, 2022 |
dboY1123: March 4 this year made it 1 year since I lost my dad. I was really pained and heartbroken cos this man was my biggest fan, and unlike my other siblings, I was the only he could call on phone and we'd discuss at depth from family to politics, literally any and everything. I was the last born so I spent more time with him growing up as my older ones elected to live away from home due to one thing or the other, I truly shared a special connection with him. I was a shadow of my former self after his death, I stopped living. Life was meaningless to me and I even stopped going to church as I kept asking God why a healthy and strong man who has almost never gotten ill just died all of a sudden. I became violent after that and even caused a scene at his burial. To make matter worst, I lost an opportunity to travel out of the country via a job that came with relocation benefits, this was after I made it to the last stage of the process. It was not easy for me, but life must go on. I just started going to church again last month and even though I still miss my dad, I have learned to live without him. I have been showering my mum with so much love that my dad would be proud and happy from up there. 1 Like |

Sports / Re: Benzema Uses Tupac Reference To Describe Kylian Mbappe's Betrayal by blaze83(m): 1:29pm On May 22, 2022 |
Rubbish! All these plenty talk because Mbappe chose what he felt was best for him. What made this OP even think the IG story was a reference to the Mbappe saga, just drawing useless and baseless conclusions. I for one I'm happy with what Mbappe and PSG did to Fiorentino Perez (Madrid President), and every Madrid fan out there. 1. PSG matched Madrid financially, dollars for dollars. 2. And then Mbappe showed y'all that this age long belief una <Once Madrid calls, no player can say NO> ain't sh*t ��� Not every one dreams of playing for Madrid. Make una rest. |
Romance / Re: Why Are Men Uninterested Nowadays by blaze83(m): 3:33pm On May 14, 2022 |
jackals: You showed him You liked him and then went home to act the way you described? If I was him, I'd think you saw something in him you didn't like that day, hence, your attitude. You trying not to appear desperate is something you should have done well in your early 20's, not at 33. At 33, there's no need to play mind games, you've seen and done it all. Talking about him not backing out after the treatment you gave him because he wants to escalate things? That's something also guys in their early 20s, I did that a lot in school growing up, no be now wey I be grown ass man and dey comfortable, I go still dey chase person who's attitude clearly shows that them no send my mama. Rather than insult you like others, I'd advice you reach out, if he's like me, na now that desperation you didn't want to show would even be needed cos you have already bleeped up. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Romance / Re: 5 Reasons Why Having A High Body Count As A Lady Is Bad by blaze83(m): 8:42am On Dec 19, 2021 |
Asked my supposed girlfriend her body count the first time and she said she doesn't know. Asked her again another time and she jokingly said she told me previously that she has lost count. Asked her a third time, and she flared up that I should stop asking her. This is inspite of the fact that I told her mine from the beginning. Na there I conclude say she don do more than 10 guys. |

Family / Re: Have Your Parents Ever Apologized To You by blaze83(m): 8:03pm On Nov 19, 2021 |
TripleAkutigi: Yes, my dad (May God rest his soul) only laid his hands on me once growing up. I wouldn't forget that night. When he saw me crying, he drew me close and apologized straight up. Told me he was sorry he beat me but I shouldn't do what I did again, that he was truly vexed hence why he had to beat me for the first time ever. He never laid his hands on me again. He was my biggest fan and I was his favourite child and made him proud by always topping my class from nursery to secondary school. When we the children all grew up, I was the only one that maintained a great father-child relationship with him as his other children, like most children, would rather call my mum. It's been 7 months since his death and even as a 30 year old man that I am, his death messed me up mentally, emotionally and psychologically and I am yet to recover even now. Rest in peace pops, I miss you everyday. I still haven't found anyone I call every Sunday to discuss politics or sociocultural issues with, or someone who to flex new vocabularies with (we always flexed vocabulary while speaking). Adieu, I love you. |

Agriculture / Re: Does Apple Grow In Nigeria? by blaze83(m): 9:13am On Oct 03, 2021 |
Enudapan: Most fruit juices are not usually made from their natural fruits, talk more of Apples juice with how expensive Apples are and the fact they don't grow here. What they use in making apples juice you drink are apple concentrates, like the apple flavour you buy in the market, they are not made from real natural apples. This is one reason people are advised against buying and taking fruit juices, better to buy the fruit and make your juice at home naturally. 1 Like |
