Fundamentalist:I code. I've been a member on nairaland since 2009, some of those moniker are no longer active. Most were Nigerians living outside the country and the ones in naija were the ones you could have a great conversation with. I lost my former handle when nairaland lost a lot of data some years back. Miss the good old days |
10 Years later and it still cut through steel. The comments too also matured and that of experienced mind. Now you just see unnecessary derails. Lalasticlala can you be so kind to move this to the front page? |

RadicallyBlunt:What's food for some is bitter for others |
urbobo20 I remember a lady who locked her husband outside because of a friend's advice and came here crying because he left the house. Op a shoulder to cry on is a dick to ride on. |
Women go through a lot. I can't imagine seeing your body altered every day, no wonder some become emotionally unstable. And yet some animals will hit a pregnant woman ![]() |
They say a fool at 40 is a fool forever, 2 years remaining and it's going to be forever. The first step is throwing him out of the house. Nothing like when a man has that sense that he's responsible for his rent and bills because if he stays there he will never help himself and if you guys don't do this he will soon bring a pregnant woman for you people to take care of and a child.

This part had me rotfl Doctor strange : Who's your master Peter Quill : What do you want me to say Lord Jesus Christ? Bruce Banner : Come on hulk Hulk : Noooooooooo! The scene were Thanos sacrificed Gamora for the Soul gem was so touching. Thanos has a heart |
VivaDeAngelo:Exactly. I was going to attack him but I sat down to read his point and it is spot on. He didn't say worship him, he said respect your husband and also husband respect your wife. As a man though it will feel awkward if my wife calls me my lord in public, I think its a mutual respect thing |
superbloke:Thanks. I got the timeline wrong |
MrLouisVanGaal1:I don't think so. Thanos won't be killed easily. notice when Samuel L Jackson was disintegrating he was paging someone? That's Captain Marvel, she's a human pilot that had the blood of a powerful alien race infused in her which gives her powers one can only imagine. The blood of the Mar-vell. She then has power of flight and energy manipulation, which means the infinity stones power will be limited against her. She can see through its reality manipulation and even use the power against Thanos. She's one of the few marvel superheroes to defeat Thanos in combat. A captain marvel film will be realized and the timeline is between Infinity wars and Avengers 4. Which means she won't be affected by Thanos purge of the universe. |
Admin401:wrong. Gamora is inside the soul gem. A life was taken for the soul gem so Gamora is the soul gem. That conversation he had with her was an out of body experience for Thanos, he was within the soul gem and he met with Gamora. |
With a positive and childlike demeanour to him, the one who himself draws inspiration from, is the real life ‘Forrest Gump’, who never considers himself disadvantaged due to events occurred to him. Believing in yourself, Being Persistent in the face of adversities and treating rejections and failures as opportunities to propel yourselves ahead is what Jack Ma’s extraordinary life speaks out to the world. This is the story of the exceptionally optimistic and determined Entrepreneur who has changed the face of business and Internet in China and across the world.

In one of his interviews, when asked about his rejections, this is what he had to say, “Well, I think we have to get used to it. We’re not that good.” Overcoming the pain of rejections and treating rejections as opportunities to learn and grow was what Jack Ma made of it. After finally coming to terms with all of his rejections and failures, Jack Ma visited US in 1995, for a Government undertaking project related to the building of highways. It was then that Jack Ma was first introduced to the Internet and Computers. Computers were pretty rare in China then, given the high costs associated with them and Internet or E-mails were non-existent. The first word he searched on the Mosaic browser was ‘Beer’, and it popped out results from different countries, but signs of China anywhere. He then searched ‘China’ and not a single result popped out! He decided it was time for China and its people to get on the Internet. Finally, after persuading 17 of his other friends to invest and join him in his new e-commerce startup – Alibaba, the company began from his apartment. Initially, Alibaba didn’t had a single penny in investment from outside investors, but they later raised $20 Millio from SoftBank and another $5 Million from Goldman Sachs in 1999. Building trust among the people of China that an online system of payment and package transfers is safe was the biggest challenge Jack Ma and Alibaba faced, a challenge that Jack will cherish for his lifetime. Having started his first successful company at the age of 31 and even after never having written a single line of code or selling something to anyone, Jack Ma runs one of the biggest E-commerce networks in the world. The company went on to grow rapidly, expanding all across the world, quickly growing out of its China shell. Only second to Walmart now in terms of sales per year, Alibaba has become the E-commerce giant that Jack Ma has envisioned for it.

Jack Ma as an extremely lucky guy who just became a billionaire in a snap. But it is safe to know that Rejections are synonymous with Jack Ma. You wouldn’t believe the number of times this man has been rejected and failed. In his early childhood, Jack Ma Failed in his Primary School examinations, not once, but Twice! He Failed Thrice during his Middle School exams. When applying to universities after his High school, Jack failed the entrance exams thrice, before finally joining Hangzhou Normal University. He even applied and wrote to Harvard University ten times about being admitted – and got rejected each time. This was only during his education! During and after his Bachelor’s degree Jack tried and failed to get a job at a multitude of places. After spending three years to get into a University, Jack failed to land a job after applying to them 30 times! He recollects in his interview, “When KFC came to China, 24 people went for the job. Twenty-three people were accepted. I was the only guy who wasn’t.” He also one of the 5 applicants to a job in Police force and was the only one getting rejected after being told, “No, you’re no good.” Also, on his Entrepreneurial undertakings, Jack Ma went on to fail on two of his initial ventures. But that didn’t stop him in any way of dreaming bigger.

Who is Jack Ma? Jack Ma is the founder of the E-commerce giant Alibaba and is a stakeholder at Alipay, its sister company which is an e-payment portal. He is now officially the richest man in China with an estimated net worth of $25 Billion, on the back of the recent world record $150 Billion IPO filing of his company. Given all of this, Jack Ma only holds a 7.8% stake in Alibaba and a 50% stake in Alipay. Alibaba and Jack Ma, although are not household names out of China, you must know that Alibaba is worth more than Facebook, and processes goods more than eBay and Amazon combined! Ma Yun a.k.a. Jack Ma is one of those self-made billionaires with humble beginnings. Jack Ma was born in Hangzhou, located in the south-eastern part of China. He was born and raised along with an elder brother and a younger sister during the rise of communist China and its isolation from the Western regions. His parents were traditional Musicians-Storytellers and they didn’t make enough to be even considered as middle class during those days. Former US president Richard Nixon’s visit to Hangzhou in 1972 improved the situation of tourism in his home-town and Jack wanted to make the most of this opportunity. Jack always wanted to learn English as a kid and he spent his early mornings riding on his bike to a nearby park, giving English tours to foreigners for free. It was then he met a foreign girl who gave him the nickname ‘Jack’ for his name was hard to spell for her. Jack, after graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in English, worked as an English teacher at Hangzhou Dianzi University with a pay of $12 a month! Now here comes the part where it gets more interesting, even before he has received that degree and became an English teacher.

In Davos, Alibaba founder and Executive Chairman Jack Ma spoke openly and at length about some of the key challenges facing the world, delivering a stream of perspectives and guidance. On the impact of technology "We are very lucky because the world is in a big transformation because of technology. This new technology will create a lot of successful people, interesting careers but honestly every new technology will create social problems. "If we don’t align together, human beings are going to fight each other, because each technology revolution makes the world unbalanced." On the key to success "To gain success a person will need high EQ; if you don't want to lose quickly you will need a high IQ, and if you want to be respected you need high LQ - the IQ of love." On women in business "If you want your company to be successful; if you want your company to operate with wisdom, with care, then women are the best. "37% of senior management in Alibaba are women. Part of the 'secret sauce' of our success is because we have so many women colleagues." On the future of globalization "I think globalization cannot be stopped - no-one can stop globalization, no-one can stop trade. If trade stops, the world stops. Trade is the way to dissolve the war not cause the war. "Global trade must be simple and modernised; it must be inclusive so everyone has the same opportunity. The next generation of globalisation must be inclusive." On the impact of artificial intelligence "Artificial intelligence, big data is a threat to human beings. I think AI should support human beings. Technology should always do something that enables people, not disable people. "The computer will always be smarter than you are; they never forget, they never get angry. But computers can never be as wise a man. The AI and robots are going to kill a lot of jobs, because in the future it'll be done by machines. Service industries offer hope - but they must be done uniquely." On learning from failure "Learn from your mistakes - no matter how smart you are you will learn from them. We must share the mistakes with others. "My thinking is that - if you want to be successful, learn from the other peoples’ mistakes, don’t learn from success stories. The book I want to write is "Alibaba: 1,001 Mistakes". On the value of teamwork "You don’t need to know a lot of things, but you need to find the people who are smarter than you are. My job is to make sure smart people are working together." "The best way to promote your company is through your product or services, or employees." On the education challenge "A teacher should learn all the time; a teacher should share all the time. Education is a big challenge now - if we do not change the way we teach thirty years later we will be in trouble. "We cannot teach our kids to compete with the machines who are smarter - we have to teach our kids something unique. In this way, 30 years later, kids will have a chance." On the responsibilities of tech giants "Google, Facebook, Amazon and AliBaba - we are the luckiest companies of this century. But we have the responsibility to have a good heart, and do something good. Make sure that everything you do is for the future."

My President lost his way back home and the entire country can't find him . What a country
|
Pierohandsome:I'm sure he said the same thing before his demise |
blakky97:Bros you dey play with fire and dancing with the devil too o |
KenModi:I wanted to quote him but you already said what I wanted to say. Pardon him bros, not all Nigerians are illiterate .... Strippers are different class, most of them you can't see beyond what you get on stage and if you touch them you could get thrown out of the club. Some have website were they sell their nudes for a very high price and if you want the main course the price you could get will get you like 10 hookers. If you want a private dance you'll pay heavily too. Strippers hustling is crazy. Like a wise lady once told me, some of these strippers and prostitutes have more self worth and value than some ladies we see daily. Just because they had to sell their body doesn't make them less important. Some of these ladies will even stand by you better than some church girls, because they know what life is all about it, life ain't all rosy |
A guy cannot experiment in peace again

Marriage now is now a community fucking spree. This is because majority of people don't understand the values of family and how to respect a partner |
Never underestimate an igbo girl vagina, it will turn you against friends and family. |
It's claim your people were killed season in Nigeria, it just shows how feeble the average Nigerian mind is towards religion and politics. The British Empire have shown how to manage that and separate religion from politics, the Spanish government, even the Saudi Arabian are beginning to understand this. Here we just have religious fanatics. If a section of Muslims are killed in America, no matter what, just because they're citizens the government won't take it as nonchalant as our leaders do and play politics with the dead. The FBI, CIA, State security and National Guard will spring into action. Here they just turn it to politics and claim "Hey! My religious brothers were killed too" just to get sympathy. |
neezar:Isn't nairaland a bigot website? A website that you have to swear an oath before commenting on a Muslim topic but anyone can comment on a Christian topic, if that ain't bigotry I don't know what is. |
rex444:Awwwww.... Can't live with them can't live without them. Funny thing is when they do that you want to get away from them but you miss them as soon as they're gone for a minute |
Biglittlelois:I believe the word is misogynist ![]() |

Lalas247:Kids are naturally inquisitive. Yes it's not Nigerian parents but I've seen kids ask hilarious and embarrassing questions such as this. Maybe you haven't come across some kids but I've seen some who you wouldn't believe what's coming out from their mouth |
SAMBARRY:Charity begins at home. Most people undermine the importance of raising kids right |
SAMBARRY:You deserve a medal. The home is responsible for any social ills. What kind of moral principles will they teach? A lot of broken kids are in the society because the home failed to protect them. Divorce is there, rape is there and these happens not because the society is bad but because people can't protect their homes from challenges that can be tackled within and without |
