LoLz. Can you hear yourself? The country receiving aid said we don't want but that is different because it's Democrats that said stop the aid. How do you people live with yourselves with this level of delusion?

I so love how he thinks he is lying only to us, my Lord, when he lies to himself and refuses to be corrected.

When discussing Israel, many of you reject ancient or continuous Jewish connection to the land and describe modern Jewish sovereignty simply as theft because Palestinians were living there more recently.

But when discussing the United States, you use the opposite principle. the earlier inhabitants have the stronger moral claim, so European settlement is described as stolen land even centuries later.

I composed a response to his nonsenses above but decided he was not worth it.

Happy 250th independence day to the United States of America and her citizens.

I am not a citizen of trump land, lizzy, i am a citizen of their colonisers. And I don't do NL email because I'm @gmail.

Happy Independence USA!

Still wondering why my African people haven’t realised that this kinda story is just nothing but myth just like other Nigerian indigenous stories of Oduduwa falling from heaven or Amadioha.

Yet, can those stories be used for mind exercise and development.

The op, for instance, believes some God was involved because that's what they told him to believe. If he became as a child and abandoned his believe and looked at it with fresh eyes, he might ask why a God would not like its people to develop, and then wonder if it weren't humans who did what they told him God did and learn how to mitigate against human dabaruness.

Unfortunately, the believe is, God done it. Because that's what some read in their book.

P.s. I am delighted you ask, logicDcoder, because decoding it will grow you.

Must you always mention mothers and sisters?

Yes! Especially when you generalise about women.

I see you changed your topic, lol.

Although I am graduate with honors in Water Resources Engineering I didn't think practicing that was interesting to me, ..

Really!?

A friend of mine drove a friend to Liverpool this morning to go buy an Audi TT. His friend is a digital security expert for a water resource company. We both laughed sadly that Nigeria does not even have pipes not to take of securing it with technology.

It's like you don't like the opportunities available to you!

When you make a mental patient and a self aggrandizer president.. what a shame!!

What Trump forgot to mention about himself is that he is a convicted felon and a sex offender..and also a pdf in the Epstein files..

Good thing is, his successor can add it one day.

I am trying to convince myself that this ankara is progress, considering but it really is just dressing. All the same, I don't see japa as a problem, but as a solution to our problem, actually.

In the old days we attended the one school in the Orolu Kingdom, the Saint John's Primary School, and during break we move sand to build the new church. After primary 6, we went to Saint Michael's Modern in the neighbour village, Ilobu, and if you did well, on to Ilesha Grammar, where, if you passed O' levels you did A, then on to Ife or Ibadan Uni. And if you wanted to learn more after that you japa. (I wouldn't at this time go on about speaking latin when we padad, though perhaps we padas didn't speak the latin well enough to be understood by the durosiles, so we deserve the head.

Our japas today are japaing to get the learning they can not get at home. After they get it many will become padas and speak the latin better, hopefully. Unless any japa here would disagree that stepping off the plane was educative, of course.

Rapmoney:
What Nigeria currently has is a carade. It is a caricature of education. An education that teaches children what to think instead of how to think is a huge problem. Many Nigerians want better education for their children, so moving out becomes non-negotiable. The policy makers are more concerned with changing the NYSC uniform to Ankara!

The fem in me wants to argue girls should be allowed to hijab if they want to, but what if some decide they want to hi-skirts or hi-knickers, can they walk around topless?

You choose to buy the schools product, and it's "no hijab". Shut up and pay up or go find another school!

Delivering the lead judgment, Justice Biobele Georgewill, supported by Justice K.I. Amadi, held that the University of Ibadan International School is a private institution and should not be treated in the same manner as public schools covered by an earlier Supreme Court ruling.

When I held my "mini me" in my hands for the first time, the happiness,joy and gladness I experienced was not of this world.
Even to this very day, when I do some flashback of that day, I still feel this joy deep within me.

I take my share, thank you. May we so nurture our "mini me" so we experience bliss.

To my dear people, this is business as usual in Nigeria but you can't abuse such public trust in stable systems.

To those enjoying the chaos in Nigeria, a time is coming when Nigeria will become a stable system and no more free money outside of your legitimate income.

It is our duty to spoil this "business as usual in Nigeria" so that our "Nigeria will become a stable system and no more free money outside of our legitimate income".

Why do you keep spamming Nairaland with this question of yours?

Are you not content with the previous answers you got?

If you recognize someone has the potential in a specific area, you can say “you can be a great actor, lawyer teacher politician” etc but nobody “can” be “anything they want” in any field.

I think you speak of your own "potential in a specific area" and know nothing of my own "potential in a specific area" and think it is like your own.

For starts, I do not go about recognising anyone's "potential in a specific area", because I do not have a "potential in a specific area" meter to measure that of anybody.

I was a maths teacher, see, and don't look for maths potential in my students, but teach them to acquire a talent for maths instead. I went on to manage people, and don't just look for their "potential in a specific area", but challenge people to learn about and acquire the potentials in areas they know not about.

Grandchildren are coming for summer. Neither they or I have any potential in any area of penny whistling, nor interest for that matter, but we have the potential to practise for 15 minutes ever day while they here. I will update how we get on.

Akwa Ibom State, I find myself flickering here and there, loads of opportunities but the one thing to be my favourite is where I am finding hard choosing.

However I have this interest to practice as a Safety Professional if I have my way I would like to do the Nebosh certification and apply to work in the UK if that sounds tenable

Oh I am sorry for your land been grabbed, are you subsistent farmer or commercial?

I was subsistent. 10 acres of oranges, palm, cocoa and kola nut trees. Cassava, maize, and bitterleaf which was my commercial. Kabiyesi sent caterpillar and bulldozed like 100 hectares of farm land. Now, only my house of 2 rooms stands right there in the middle of all this land that was the basket of the Orolu Kingdom like the Nile was to Egypt. Now women eating my palm oil are murdered and school fees are requiring alternative sourcing. The stupidity pains me too much!

I got a call last night. Person on the phone said, "10 years ago I told you I wanted to travel out of Nigeria, and you asked me if I've ever been outside Nigeria, and I said no. So you drove us to Seme Border and we walked across into the Republic of Benin, and you said, "now you've travelled out of Nigeria". "Every journey must start with a first step or one would go no where", you said, and we went to a beach on Badagry Road where you sat and read and drank Guinness for hours while I played with sand", the person on the phone told me on a call from Canada.

If I "had my way" I'd fly like superwoman and batwoman and spiderwoman and the Angel Gabriella too.

Please explain to me how you have exercised the interest that you say you have.

Goo0dHardDick:
You ended up saying nothing.

Allow women to come and answer the question themselves.

I ended up saying what you lack the ability to comprehend, is what I think, since you have already formed a false narrative in your head and can not consider alternative opinions.

Just see how 'man' you has resorted to insult me by claiming "You ended up saying nothing", just because you don't like or don't understand my answer.

Would you like me to ignorantly assume you are a woman therefore, just as you are assuming that buda is not a woman?

Goo0dHardDick:
I know this has been asked a billion times, but women will rather choose to insult than to answer the question.

What I find is that some human beings would rather insult than answer questions.

Sometimes it's because of the type of question or the way it is asked, but sometimes it's simply because of the ignorance of the asker or the person questioned.

A person who insults just because they are asked questions, is ignorant, and women don't have a monopoly of that. In fact, It is my own opinion that those who think women monopolise ignorance are ignorant themselves.

Nostalemate:
Getting patronage isn't as juicy before the advent of IT related photograph and engineering online apps.

Getting patronage is precisely the work I have to do to generate income from my learning, and if I can not teach myself to do that then I better not invest in anything and just chop my ₦500,000.

Do know that after my training, I can choose to undercut others by charging half and doing twice the work for the first few years while I build up my clientele. It would be like Google giving away free stuff to start with and charging eventually. That's the investment.

The gains are in the future somewhere that I will be building, same as I have done with my chess playing that I'm now reaping from, intellectually.

None! I'd invest it in learning a skill instead.

If I go to a photographer or a mechanic and pay them to teach me the basics, I'd likely learn enough to build on and earn lots more.

HallahGeisher:
It won't worth listening to because you have made up your kind, go back and read the tone at which you wrote your writeup which has a curtain of bias against baba. The man knew obviously what we don't all know but was intelligent enough not to open old wounds which could further bring forth hatred and resentment against other tribes

Those "old wounds" he says he does not want to open are precisely "the conditions that triggered the Biafra war" and that "remain unresolved", and which he is asking us to continue to bury our heads in the sand and still not resolve, and I don't think that is intelligent.

Take our "no victor, no vanquished" for instance. It's like I slap your family and we fight some more and I beat you and take your land, then say "let's forget about it". Are you really going to be that forgetting?

As for your "made up your kind, and read the tone and "bias", I think you should take responsibility for your own not listening, because I personally have no reason whatsoever to hate Obasanjo as you think. I just don't agree with him like I don't agree with you, but I don't hate you at all despite your baseless assumptions.

Goo0dHardDick:
Stale already.

Kindly tell us what your father as a man will benefit from marrying this modern women of nowadays.

It is complete stwepidity comparing the generation of our fathers when they all married their wives as pure virgins to this present generation where a girl of 17 already has about 17 body count. Yes, you read that correctly!

Half of them were likely uncle not keeping his hand to himself from when she was 9.

My contribution is off topicshish.

I just needed to post this.

Palm fruits,

I must be real open to you, I doubt I would be able to learn fashion and designing that is becoming a tailor

I don't have Gemini but I would look it up.

I think what I learn is a COUNTERFEIT but what is innert in me is pure gold unfortunately I don't think I know my strength this is why I need you to be my mentor

I said Gemini, but perhaps should have said Google AI.

Freeze! You need to be able to research stuff, and the internet makes that easy!

So tell, why would you not be able to .......?

Note how I left out the end of that sentence. It's because, in my mind it's not only "fashion and designing and tailor" I'm hearing you are not able to, but everything, including cybersecurity!

Palm fruits, you say. I grew that, and planted lots of bitterleaf between, but kabiyesi has appropriated my land.

What state are you in?

HallahGeisher:
Don't get baba obasanjo involved cos people like you always find reasons to nail those you hate.

I wonder how you worked out that I hate Obasanjo It makes anything else you have to say not worth listening to.

Fact is, being military at the time, he'd know more than most and should enlighten us with his 'opinion', right or wrong, instead of letting those who know less than he does make up imaginary stuff like you have done about me.

This silly greed will also ruin his sister and wife's life.

According to the former leader, he had previously been questioned about Muhammed’s role during the conflict but maintained that he was not in a position to comment.

Chief Chuck Nduka-Eze, was probably a child if born at all, when this massacre happened, but he has put himself in a position to comment in a book, yet Obasanjo says he is "not in a position to comment".

It is Obasanjo's desire to hide the facts that will create the conditions for another civil war!

This is commendable of her.
Feminists won't like this.

I am a feminist, and I love this husband.

I do wonder why her parents did not educate and empower her though.

We insult England of hyping their national teams and players but we are also guilt of what we critizes.

Who are the "we" that "insult England of hyping their national teams and players"?

And who told you most of us are those ignorant "we" who think they should not hype their own country?

Chidinma was born in South Africa too yet almost killed by the Xenophobes.

Between her and this man, who looks more African?

Even South African women married to foreign men are being beaten and dragged on the streets by these xenophobes.

Do not support EVIL.

The evil is those who think an African must look African, and those ignorant xenophobes. And those claiming this man is Pakistan are no different.

MindHacker9009:
The Kebra Nagast tells of events during the time of King Solomon. Its significance is that it preserves Ethiopian traditions and interpretations that are not found in the biblical canon given by the Roman empire.

It was written in 1300CE, and there is nothing original about it!

Even the Hebrew texts of the Israelites are not original, as Egypt will tell you a different version of the "history" of the Israelites whom they enslaved for centuries.

People like you would likely claim UK elects a Nigerian as prime minister if she ever wins the majority seats in a UK election!
