Then I stop feeding. Mind you I pay her monthly salary. I will simply cut it off.

When a country get a loan from IMF, they obey the terms and conditions. That is the way it works.

Stop feeding is exactly what you must do, not because she does not obey you though, but because of her ill life choices, which she should be funding herself.

As for IMF, we'd simply renegotiate new terms and conditions, since supporting countries in renegotiating loan terms through debt restructuring, is exactly what IMF does.

There is nothing insulting about it. Besides it was a question from a scientific suggestion. And what if it's actually true? Will the truth be insulting too?

I did comment in the thread before it's deserved takedown, and saw nothing true about it in support of your speculation, which just fueled tribalism!

It was not a question from any "scientific suggestion" (whatever that means), but a speculative question that was not based on evidence nor facts.

who was she having the second child to cater for before?

For the person who got her pregnant with the first child?

Or did I miss where she at some time told her brother she was having children for him?

Nnamdipapa:
But then she told me she was pregnant with their second child. That’s when I snapped.

"Abigail," I told her, "if you have another child after this one, I will stop all financial support. I love you, but you and your husband need to take responsibility for your lives."

Basically, your financial assistance, in your opinion, gave you the right to tell your sister to abort her pregnancy?

I think you gone a bit too far, and should have congratulated her and told her she's now grown enough to bear her own burden instead of assuming she was having a second child for you to care for.

Romance › Re: The Silent Struggle Of Men: Why Financial Pressure Is Breaking Us by budaatum: 7:43pm On Feb 01, 2025

Dpsychologist:
Women are encouraged to “follow their dreams”.

Really? I wish this were true in this world where many men are trying to reduce women to diq receptors tied to stoves.

Dpsychologist:
Second, we need financial equality in relationships.

We been telling you men this for decades, but you feel castrated by women earning as much or more than you do.

Dpsychologist:
Finally, we need to create a culture of empathy and support for men.

If you were honest you'd say men need to develop a culture of empathy and support their partners instead of unempathically going off to poke a LovePeddler and coming home and wanting to poke their wife without caring what they caught and might give her.

Now, for the financial struggle you men seem to have. If you treat your wife as the equal she is, she might equally contribute to your households finances, and you'd both bring up your sons and daughters to be assets to themselves and their future families. But instead, you out there poking ashewo and complaining you don't earn enough.

Hope you see how little sympathy I have for pigs. As for the men, I hope you learn.

Turns out I was looking at them from the perspective of people who want us to succeed. Wrong.

You want America to fail. You know Trump is the answer to that problem.

I'm glad you discovered this.

Its like the Oduduwa and Biafrans wanting their own country, so need Nigeria to fail and will do everything to make sure it fails as they can't get their republics without destroying Nigeria. If they were hired as air traffic controllers they'd make sure a helicopter and passenger jet collide, and if they had the money they'd get the incompetent to be secretaries and ministers of destruction.

Someone mentioned accelerationism on here. First I saw that word was a few years ago when posts in Chinese were touting it. What's sad is basili & co don't know they are being accelerated.

ObaIgwe1:
They can be all that and still speak out, else their silence might make it look like they are scared of Trump. They need to give the opposition a voice and encouragement by calling out what is wrong real time, give the people clear picture of things against the lies of Trump and his MAGA servants before things get out of control. I don't fancy the idea of them telling the electorate what Trump did wrong only during the election...

You must not fully understand democracy.

It is the voices themselves, as in We The People, that see what dump is doing, that will eventually form the opposition and speak up.

To be honest, dump is just talking at the moment, as in doing the equivalent of posting on twitter or wherever, and people should not really be waisting their time when he does pointless basilicos. When his policies start dropping planes from the sky and eggs cost more than chickens, people will voice their opposition loudly indeed.

The only people I keep hearing from on the left are Bernie and AOC, neither of which will be running for president in 2028.

The Democrats need to stop operating like controlled opposition, and get their stuff together.

Sanders and AOC don't need to be president, just that their ideas preside more, perhaps.

It will take them time to recover and organise from November and for new leaders to rise up with new priorities.

Education › Re: Scrabble Vs. Chess: Which Is A Better Board Game For Children's Education? by budaatum: 9:12pm On Jan 31, 2025

Ofodirinwa:
I understand, but in the age of information, i think it's more important to be resourceful than strategic. And not everyone is in a position where strategy is going to be the determining factor for their outcomes. But everyone needs vocabulary and spelling in the short and long term. It's also hard to measure results of Chess as a game as it effects a person

To be resourceful (have the ability to find quick and clever ways to overcome difficulties), one must be strategic (be able to identifylong-term or overall aims and interests and the means of achieving them).

In fact, I doubt we can claim a resourceful person is not specifically strategic, as strategicness is the defining "ability" of resourcefulness. I think.

As for "needing vocabulary and spelling" yes that is essential too. One must be able to put ones thoughts into coherent well spelt out vocabulary in order to strategize resourcefully.

According to BBC News, over 3,000 Nigerians living in the US without legal documents are at risk of deportation. These individuals are listed on the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) non-detained docket, with final orders of removal in place since November 2024.

Fox News, as cited by BBC, reports that Nigeria is the second-highest African country with citizens scheduled for deportation, following Somalia, with other countries such as Ghana and Senegal also being affected.

If he had said this while living in Nigeria I am sure u would not have said the emboldened ur narative would have bn how Nigeria can kee someone before his time and blablabla ....lol

I wonder why you'd be so sure what I'd say if he lived in Nigeria. Is your superpower mind reading?

I've lived in Nigeria and never ever felt Nigeria killed me before my time, though truth it, it has and it does. Yet read op, "the system has totally swallowed me, I feel very depressed and I want to leave permanently", and he's not talking about Nigeria.

Life is struggle wherever you are, least to move from where you don't like to where you survive. But more important is me controling the things I can control instead of leaving my destiny to a massive huge country that at best doesn't know I exist, and that's if it knows anything or even has a mind to know things with.

I can't move Nigeria, but I sure can move my ass.

Not every American is prospering. There's lots of children born to unfortunate parents, and fed by the state with your tax money.
