A police unit refers to an organized group within a police force that operates in a specific area or has a particular function.
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary is not Scotland Yard.

The decision to ask students to compose a new national anthem has raised eyebrows.
They should lower their eyebrows and look with their eyes, since the question does not ask students "to compose a new national anthem".

That is what is odd about his political push to integrate himself with people who are convicts.
It's historically been the Republican party that has made it harder for felons to reintegrate into society.
Yet, when it is a rich, powerful white person, like Trump those rules go out the window.

At a point you would think people would see the hypocrisy in it.
I don't think Republicans or even most politicians anywhere care about hypocrisy.

It will take a long time for such controversial topics to be accepted in theistic homes especially Nigeria where kids are thought creationism as a fact. Its also quite disturbing that even our so call scientifically inclined graduates still find the idea of discussing such topics repulsive. Not becuase they think it is wrong but simply because they cant reconcile it with their faith. For them, they simply choose to ignore such discuss so they can trudge along with their religious view.
The thing is, it shows a level of understanding, and has life implications.

Just see how Nairaland has not evolved since it was created. If seun understood evolution, it would have evolved by now, but since he doesn't, it has remained the same.

Even God evolved. The in the beginning God got angry and was swift to judge, but eventually evolved into gentle meek forgiving turn the other cheek Christ. Same way our understanding will evolve in due time.

They are your parents, and if they love you as they should they'd bless you whatever you do, but more important is that you go and bless yourself.

The word black magic exists without doubts if only you shun ignorance and be open minded to certain beliefs about black magic or juju.
Be open minded so junk enters? Thankfully Alice gave a good response to similar nonsense.

budaatum:
"I can't believe that!" said Alice.

"Can't you?" the Queen said in a pitying tone. "Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes."

Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said: "one can't believe impossible things."

"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There
MikeofKd:
The white men re~branded Christianity and sold it to us in Africa and strangely we are still holding on dearly to those beliefs of this so called white men who came to destroy Africa.
The white men practice black magic or juju very well , but you wouldn't know.
By the time the white men brought you their Christian book, they themselves were reading A Critique of Pure Reason, and hoped you'd understand not to live by bread alone, but would ask and knock and seek for understanding. Yet here we are peddling rubbish that most abandoned when they got enlightened.

For your information, the white men do not practice black magic or juju except when they want to deceive you. They themselves know that the food they eat is created by the sweat of their brow, but it pays them for you to believe you eat manna from heaven, because that way you'd not be able to compete in the market with them.

So, you'd rather believe a "theory" of about 2500 years ago that had no real life witness and is just what some random people wrote in a book?

No, I don't want you to believe either theory. I just wish you'd use the smart brain you claim you have to seek to know instead.

And before you deceitfully say its not about god, do note you mentioned atheist, which is about gods.

Imagine. Eve opened his eyes and freed him from slavery and empowered him to populate the earth, but instead of appreciating her for using her mind, he blames her for talking to a snake.

She should have told him to fuq off when he told her she was his rib, if you asked me. Just as we should tell those who tell us snakes speak to fuq off.

Semenya definitely has a physical advantage of other women, she went through a harrowing experience. But she married a woman eventually fueling rumors about her gender
It's her life, she got beaten in many races but we all know athletics requires super fitness, supreme peace of mind , determination, proper training, etc which she obviously doesn't get.
There were rumours about her gender long before she married anyone. And she obviously was super fit and had determination, proper training, and peace of mind despite all the harassment.

Point is, you were confused about her gender despite her having all the obvious born attributes you normally use to determine gender. And that shows its not as simple as you want to make out it is.

What do you need, Ayjay is agreeing to pay 100k per month. You know it's not going to be free money right? You will pay for it one way or the other. Just DM the op for more terms of the agreement.
I'm very certain the op has expectations for his 100k that I would pay for one way or the other. Its that one way or the other that I want listed here to see if its worth my time. I'm also certain you'd expect me to negotiate his one way or the other, unless you think he is buying a slave who has no say in the matter.

So I'm asking him to list his expectations here, so our negotiating is done in public. After all, it is you all that would be called upon if what is agreed is breached.

Op, I'm certain you have expectations in mind when you posted the thread. List them and stop wasting my time please.

Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by budaatum: 7:59pm On Jun 29, 2024
Some things are just far too complex for some.

Following Semenya's victory at the 2009 World Championships, she was made to undergo sex testing, and cleared to return to competition the following year.[8][9] The decision to perform sex testing sparked controversy in the sporting world and in Semenya's home country of South Africa. Later reports disclosed that Semenya has the intersex condition 5α-Reductase 2 deficiency and natural testosterone levels in the typical male range.[10][11]

In 2019, new World Athletics rules came into force preventing athletes like Semenya with certain disorders of sex development (DSDs) from participating in 400m, 800m, and 1500m events in the female classification, unless they take medication to suppress their testosterone levels. Semenya has filed a series of legal cases to restore her ability to compete in these events without testosterone suppression, arguing that the World Athletics rules are discriminatory.[12]

It is still unseriousness on the part of everybody -farmers, government, e.t.c. There should be a mechanism for recouping such loans and making sure such loans are put to it's right use. Except there is a collusion somewhere.
Nigerians own the land? Maybe not.
Nigerians do own the land. And indeed it is unseriousness on all our part, including the consumer who wants to pay below the price of production.

I mean, how can I plant crops and expect to make profit when the purchaser is crying on my shoulder that minimum wage is 30k? Did I send them? Does fertiliser seller care about minimum wage? Does the person I rent land from care about minimum wage? Does the school I pay my children's fees care about minimum wage? And then when I don't sell to them they will go in my farm and steal it and be telling me its Fulani! So of course I will not plant anymore, let us all starve.

Nigeria's problems are huge, and we have not even begun to understand it not to talk of start finding solutions. But after half of us die off, I am certain those who are left will decide to reset our brains.
HealthRe: My Girlfriend Has Transmitted Hiv To Others In Our Workplace by budaatum: 5:32pm On Jun 29, 2024
So, you first went and gave hiv to your girlfriend because you are ignorant, and are now informing us that she's spread it around?

Really, you deserve to be shot!

whymewhyme12:
I'm so disappointed, but yes, I believe I have inadvertently put someone in a situation that will make her life miserable. She's a coworker, and I feel deeply sorry for her. However, I had the misconception that if you slept with someone without ejaculating inside of them, neither party would contract any diseases.

Last December, after work ended around 10 pm, I took a woman home. However, all attempts to engage in intimacy with her were unsuccessful. I couldn't send her away due to the unsafe nature of the area I live in. Frustrated and thinking it might be because of my d*ck size, I impulsively went to the nearest brothel that night, fueled by drugs and a desire to avoid any non-consensual encounters at home. Unfortunately, the condom burst just as I was about to ejaculate.

I asked the woman if she was clean, and she assured me that she regularly undergoes check-ups. However, a few weeks later, I started experiencing discomfort: internal heat, appearance and disappearance of red nodes, symptoms resembling typhoid and malaria, tingling sensations in my tongue, and a pricking feeling in my foot.

Unable to ignore these symptoms, I rushed to a hospital for testing in March while on an official assignment for my company. The initial test results came back negative, but I am still waiting to undergo a confirmation test in the next three months. Despite this, all the symptoms persist.

Two weeks ago, a new employee developed feelings for me, and we ended up intimate at my new apartment. Yesterday, she showed me a red node, and today, she pointed out two red spots on her hand.

Although I did not ejaculate during our encounter, I am concerned for her well-being. I had wrongly believed that not ejaculating inside someone was safe.

I'm terrified that she may suffer the same health issues I am facing. Although I spent significant amount of money —about 10k—seeking treatment for the sickness she may have transmitted to me."
RomanceRe: What Would You Like To Change About Nigerian by budaatum: 5:11pm On Jun 29, 2024
I'd change our education system so science is mandatory up to the first year in university for every course.

It would make Nigerians understand that their food comes from the sweat of their brow and not like manna from heaven.

And if perchance I can change 2 things, religious organisations will pay tax.

I'd bet you probably wouldn't have done the same. You definitely wouldn't do the same ever again, because you sound way too smart and willing to take responsibility for your error and learn from your mistake than to stupidly repeat it.

Now, if you had not taken responsibility for your error and learnt from your mistake and instead ignorantly blamed it on juju or black magic, you definitely would have done the same again and again and again till you accepted responsibility and learnt.
