they don't know they were paid by foreign agents. Even the reports deemed them to be the victims. but carry on with your lies.

no amount of cash would have pushed them to burn American flags.
They didn't know? Despite what they were being paid to post was lies and antiamerican?

Guess their only crime was ignorance then, and that's okay by you.

Some of the networks have to get a license to use public airways. So, the government can regulate them.
But yeah, I like the Uk's libel/defamation practice as well.
Why only some? Its illegal to broadcast without a licence in UK.

There was a time we had lots of unlicensed pirate radios that specialised in music and or conspiracies, but after years of whackamole they all got shut down.

MrBrownJay1:
this is such a horrible case and there is much more that meets the eye. so many people involved it was bound to come out one day or the other, and he knew that. he was even invited to rape another man's wife (who started to also drug his own wife for strangers to rape).
i have also heard similar stories of pedos now drugging children before doing the unthinkable so that the children cannot testify to what happened to them. it is a crazy wourld we live in and people need to be vary careful of what is happening around them.

on this side of the world, people can be drugged/raped and robbed and the person will wake up and not realize anything that has happened to them. by the time you get your ideas together, your bank account will be empty and you will have no choice but to go to hospital to flush whatever possible diseases they may have infected you with.
My laptop broke a few weeks ago and I've found myself emersed in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit on 5USA. The sex crimes on there are mind boggling, and makes me wish it was shown in Nigeria to help educate some though I fear some might learn to do the crimes instead.

An episode had a couple buying babies just to abuse them on webcam, and another was stealing girls to prostitute. And then there's Andrew and Tristan Tate, detained in Romania as part of an investigation into allegations of human trafficking and sex with minors. Some here call him their G-man, and they don't mean agent of the United States Government, but something to do with redpill.

There's sick people on this earth.

MrBrownJay1:
there is so many wrongs in that story, i dont even know where to start... the dude had been jailed for rape in the past, and i think the guilty feeling got to him and he wanted to be caught. the crazy part is that they wouldnt have caught this demon unless he was busted in that supermarket taking photos of women underwear... and when they check the camera he was using, thats when they saw videos of his wife rapes, which led to his arrest/trials. this demon had so many sick videos in his house, even naked pics of his own daughter.
I didn't know he'd raped before, but I'm not in the least surprised.

If he'd wanted to be caught as you claim, he could have just walked into a police station and given himself up, which he didn't, so I think his luck ran out.

In the fall of 2022, already under arrest, he was charged with the 1991 rape and murder of Sophie Narme, 23, in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. He denied the accusations brought by the cold case unit, dedicated to serial or unsolved crimes and based in Nanterre. These are accusations “based solely on conjecture,” denounced his lawyer, Béatrice Zavarro. But Pélicot was also charged with an attempted rape in Seine-et-Marne in 1999. In this case, his DNA was found at the scene and he admitted the crime, but denied having used a weapon. The modus operandi was always the same: both women were drugged with ether “during a visit to an apartment; both victims were real estate agents,” according to the Nanterre prosecutor’s office. Dominique P. was also involved in the buying and selling of apartments.

That would be putting my job on the line adding extra depression. If I should post with my normal Moniker you can easily locate me anywhere even on LinkedIn. May problems never locate us because not in my wildest dream would I do this. I cry myself to sleep when alone, prayed and weep silently. So many things have gone wrong. I’m not a scammer, and never would be . I came online not thinking I’ll get solution but to let it out. If I get a solution that’s just a bonus.
Well, since you are not seeking solution and just want to vent, a new monicker might be a good idea. But if you are seeking help, I'm certain the details you send for the help will link to your LinkedIn and to your own moniker, and then bust you.

Reputation, you see. What we write here is like the fruits by which we are known, and using a new moniker is like trying to hide from one's fruits, which yells fraud.

You're clearly more discerning and not the target audience.
Education, Critical thinking and reading is a panacea for all that.
I think the closest to radio would be infowars, which is not broadcastable in UK, and I only get it because..... Those others I listed definitely aren't, and I only get them because.... In fact, I don't think Fox News is available here (get that too because...), but I do agree "Talk radio is more vitriolic", especially over there.

You got a thing called freedom of speech, which we thankfully don't have. We charge for speech instead, so people are more cautious what they let out their mouths here, or they might get sent a huge bill.

now this is a different ball game... if they are paying rent then technically they have just as much right in your home, as you do... this is no more a helping hand, they are also helping you pay the rent. you gave up control and therefore you were no longer in charge.
Actually, they all paid a nominal amount, and I was still in charge of my own home, just that I let them be. Or do you think my younger sister can be in charge because she contributes to where she lives?

MrBrownJay1:
you cant blame your mother for having rules when you was a kid, and i can understand her (my father had the exact same rules)... but i cant turn around today and put these PARENT/CHILDREN rules upon my parents, simply because my parents aint my children. there are different rules involved when you are dealing with your own parents. if your mother lives with you and pays the rent then equally she can move out and get her own place, so she can make her own rules there. you cant throw what she did in the past (in order to raise you the best she could), back in her face today expecting the same in return. now you are both adult and nobody is raising anyone.
My mother did not live with me and pay the rent! And I didn't "throw what she did in the past (in order to raise you the best she could), back in her face today".

She asked a friend to travel from South London to North London at 2am to come and do her hair, which I am certain she'd not let anyone tell her own daughter's to do. And when confronted she insisted she is mother and can do whatever she wants, and was kindly told to go do it elsewhere and not in my home.

This mother will make the family of those who come to ask to marry her daughters eat food her first son cooked so she can show them how their older brother is slaving in the kitchen and they must therefore not think her daughter will slave for them. The food is always ẹfọ riro with fine amala he learned to cook in Ibadan, so you know he cooks very well. For the one in Nigeria, it was iyan he cooked.

As she wants done to her daughters must she do to the daughter's of others or go do it elsewhere, is the rule.

Imagine me needing help and resorting to a new monicker instead of the one I'm known for.

Its either I don't want help or have become a scammer, I'd think, because I bet I'd find more helpers as me than as some new monicker.

They are generally on AM and I'm sure you can find an internet podcast to compare. If you repeatedly hear it, even if you are more discerning, some nuggets will stick with you and like a seed eventually sprout. The Republicans have brilliantly done it. They intermingle it with Sports Radio as well. And sports is so often tied with "being a man". It was where these ideas propogated in the past. Haven't tuned in, in a while. Rush Limbaugh was one of the pioneers.

You're more discerning so I'm sure it's more comical to you when you heat it on C-Span. But imaging listening to just that vitriol and conspiracies for 2-4 hours a day.
I listen during the night mostly. Bad habit of radio for sleep. And you know I watch Newsmax, and OANN and Newsy and Infowars often, but not much of it sticks on me I think.

Its not catching. Same way God isn't catching despite living in Nigeria, I'd say, the effect of being in control of ones own thinking and reasoning. If it were, black lives wouldn't matter, and dump for president and there is only one God and Jesus is Lord and Mohammed is a prophet.

To be honest, I think its the fact that critical thinking is in our school diet over here, and you can't homeschool and indoctrinate, as the curriculum must still be followed. Can't even church school, lol and thankfully.

kai!!! someone living 3 yrs with you? thats no more helping someone, thats having a new member of your own family. kindness is one thing, but being taken for a fool is another. why would you allow someone to squat for 3 yrs, unless you needed them in some ways. the only reason i would do so is if their presence was making my life better (aka free babysitters etc). if not then you have 3 long years with no privacy of your own... thats another ball game. but i couldnt throw my own parents out, thats another level altogether and will simply send them back home to their own place (wherever it may be). imagine having a conflict between your parents and your own spouse/kids...nah, best everyone goes to their own home.
He is my cousin, lol. And after we agreed terms, he was not squatting, we shared. Then my sister joined us and we continued sharing. Then my mother and other sisters joined us and we shared until some decided they were the boss in my own home and I stopped sharing with them.

My mother threw me out at 15 for not obeying her rules, so she can't exactly change the rules because she doesn't want to obey her own rules in my own house. And she's not exactly a person I can send anywhere, since she's here in her own right too and bore me here.

I'm a first born you see, who, due to circumstances, grew up early being responsible for my siblings like they were my own children, and my cousin was like my adopted son.

I keep telling this story. I once did a drive from MA to NC to knock on doors for the CLinton Campaign. I like listening to NPR as I drive and decided to listen to talk radio instead to get a feel of it in that area. Holy Sh*t, the amount of vitriol and lies against Clinton was astronomical. Halfway through, I almost thought she was the devil. Had to shut it off. And this is what millions of people listen to daily.
I listen to C-Span a lot. They have phone-ins with separate numbers for Democrats, Republicans and Indys. The vitriol and lies are comical, but that's because I'm here faraway over the pond.

Our alternative on tv would be GBNews and TalkTV, but their reach is very small and there's Ofcom. I'm sure there's radio too, but I can't stand radio with adverts.

no no , thats not what i am saying... but being abroad is not the same as being back in Nigeria. in Nigeria you have extended family/friends etc while abroad, sometimes you are the only family these people have (so you are a little bit more lenient). of course the minute these people fukc up (home or abroad) and do the unthinkable then whether family or not, you need to get rid of them.

your story reminded me of my direct teenage cousins who lived all their lives in Nigeria but were UK citizen, fresh off the boat landed in London... i had no issue with them taking over the free room i had in my house until a few months later i started having expensive phone bills, and when i checked the itemized bill, i saw someone was calling the £1 a minute sex line (even some 9ja international calls). when i confronted them, they all swore upandan that it wasnt them but as it was only me, the wifey and young kids, it had to be them. i jejely found a room for them, and ask them to leave. their lives has never been better.
Oh, you found a room for them after they ramped up your bill by calling sex lines, you very kind hearted considerate human being.

My own cousin was my age, a couple of months older than me in fact, and should have known not to heartlessly exploit me as he did. And I did not throw him out, but negotiated terms with him by which he could stay, and he did for like 3 years.

Years later though, I did throw my own mother out for insisting my partner should do what she wouldn't ask her own children to do, and it was in the very cold bleak winter too. Luckily, she had other family to go to.

If you want consideration, be considerate!

freeloaders abroad are a different ball game entirely and you have to use different tactics... you must understand that A) abroad a person may not have as many friends and you may be there only hope, and B) in the winter, its almost impossible to throw someone out (unless you are heartless) so you must put proper rules in place as to when they are leaving, before accepting to have a friend squat with you around the colder months abroad.
You are joking, lol, to suggest that because a person hasn't got many friends and its cold, I should let some modafuqa exploit me and if I don't I'm heartless.

Next you'd be telling me I'm heartless for kicking him out abroad for sleeping with my husband too because he hasn't got any friends and its cold, lol.

Anyone anywhere who is inconsiderate and heartless to their host deserves to be shown the door! And if its abroad where its cold and you're their only friend, that modafuqa person should consider their own heartlessness before someone finds reason to be heartless to them in return.
NYSCRe: Challenges In NYSC Evaluation: An In-depth Analysis 2024 by budaatum: 4:56pm On Sep 23, 2024
The yearly availability of fresh corpers have ruined many jobs and contributed to the lack of employment of many, and completely destroyed the education system in many places.

My local government in Osun State, knowing they will get up to 100 corpers each year, have not bothered employing teachers, and keep a headmaster or principal only and use the corpers instead.

Unfortunately, of course, the corpers are not trained teachers, and often don't know the subject they are given to teach, so teach badly or not at all, and some are so morally debased that they think sleeping with 13 year olds is a fringe benefit!

The regular influx of new corpers means the experience that permanent teachers would have gained is lacking, which is detrimental to the education of the students.

Transpose this to a company and you'd see how long term knowledge and experience is killed off too, and that's apart from its effect on training and wage suppression, since employers are guaranteed cheap labour of corpers on allowee, which is no different to paying peanuts to monkeys.

Personally? I want NYSC Scrapped

Yeah I think I remember clearly now, the depth closest to the diving board was 24ft which gradually declined to the kids standard towards the gate.

I don't know much about the diving board lengths and heights but the one used in the 2000s was pretty high too, at least to me.
Things do look much bigger when we are small.

I think the kids end started at 1.6ft, then 2 or 3ft, then 6, from where it slopes down to the deepest end. When you swim lengths, you'd literally be crawling on the floor at the kids end.

We used to gbo'fe from school sometimes. There was this one of us who had lots of money - his father sold Peugeot - so everyone was his friend except me because he was a bully who usually picked on the smaller size people like me especially if you didn't kowtow to him which I didn't, not being one who cared much for the meatpies and suya he bought for his 'friends'.

In order to get away from him and his bully mates, I'd swim in the deep end where they couldn't. That pool was fun to escape from them.

sometimes a lot of people will take your kindness for stupidity...

BTW do not tell him you are traveling because A) if you dont he can easily figure out it was not true, B) he can ask to stay in the house since you wont be using it and C) he can ask to come back when you will be back... so just be honest and tell him to go
Funny people, are some.

I once had a cousin stay with me in my one bed and living room in UK, and gave up my bed for him because he had stinky shoes and snored. Whenever I cooked, he'd ask me if I'd eaten my portion and all the rest was his. I got a phone bill of over £200, and on checking the numbers called found it was him calling his friend in US, which he denied, stupidly not knowing about itemised bills.

One day, I went to market, bought fish and Guinness and went home to cook rice, and as I was eating my cousin came home.

"Ah, good", he said, "like you knew I was hungry. Have you taken enough for yourself?"

"No", said I, "I surely haven't. I plan to eat it all by myself and drink all my Guinness myself too. And when I'm done, I'd like you to sit down so we can talk".

After eating all I could and rubbing my belly while he sat and watched me, I asked him if someone had told him my family owes his family, like if the dowry my father paid was not enough or something (his is my maternal side), and they've told him to come collect from me.

"Oh", said he, "I thought government gave you all for free being as you are citizen".

"Seriously?" I asked, angry and livid. "Like you don't see me doing night shifts 5 days a week to buy the food you been eating and pay the rent so a roof is over your head?"

We sat down and negotiated he pay half rent, buy his own food and never ever touch my phone again without my permission.

My younger sister joined us a couple of months later, and he sat down with her to share the house bills, and when ma and my other sisters joined us much later he did the same with them all.

Funny that by then, I had given up my bed and the sofa and was sleeping in the bath.

Lol... things have changed boss.

So you mean the diving board they used in the 2000s was different from the one they decommissioned in the 90shuh

My friend loves taking jumps from that diving board to the 6ft cos a was a good swimmer unlike me that don't go near it atal.
Diving board was 6ft indeed, and 12 ft or was it 18? (It had 2 levels), but depth of the water was 24 feet, I think, and 2 metres in the middle. You can't dive from a 6ft board into a 6ft pool or you'd bash your head on the pool floor, much less from an 18ft board.

I didn't go from 88 till mid 90s, as was far away, but by the time I returned in late 90s, that board was decommissioned, with the ladder leading up removed.

Even in the late 70s when I first went there, the lifeguards will screen you before they let you pass the 2m water depth, much less let you dive from the board.
