Even you are not using your "fully functional forum program" so why would we others?

Is it not because you can not compete?

For years, UK authorities dragged their feet on Pakistani grooming gangs ignoring victims, downplaying ethnicity factors to avoid racism labels, and letting abuse continue on a massive scale while aggressively prosecuting Tommy Robinson for contempt when he spotlight it.

They could have arrested this guy years ago but as it is, they are not going after him for sexual misconduct - they are after him for sharing confidencial government documents like Peter Mandelson.

So the UK is still not taking sexual misconduct serious?
Certain bs were full of it here at the time too, but now I watch with dismay those same bs deflecting from an obvious cover up of wealthy dump and co groomings despite all the spotlights.

RomanceRe: How To Avoid Nigerian Babes Billing by budaatum: 11:15pm On Feb 18
I wonder what sort of girls you lot meet that need you to solve their financial problems. And I wonder how you meet them so they think you are their financial problem solvers.

In my dating days, it was men who used to require financial assistance from women. But I suppose I'm talking of school days when women fed you broke men.

As for you, RollinTNDA, perhaps stop chasing baby cats so you don't need to pay for what you get in return. There's girls out there who'd willingly pay you if what you offer is worth it.

It always amazes me that I can't buy chocolate in Nigeria like I can in a shop in UK where they are yelling that the tiny amount of cocoa in a bar has made the price quadruple.

No, farmers are not being paid fairly because no value is added to their product. A person who makes gari earns a lot more profit than a cassava grower.

PoliticsRe: DSS Takes El-Rufai Into Custody From EFCC by budaatum: 10:47pm On Feb 18
On Saturday, during an interview on Prime Time, an Arise Television programme, el-Rufai said “someone wiretapped” Ribadu’s phone, allowing him to listen to the NSA directing security operatives to effect his arrest.
I can't understand why he'd so stupïdly say what he said even if he had any evidence that “someone wiretapped” Ribadu’s phone, but the supposed secret police would still need to provide evidence of said wiretapping and El Rufai's involvement for him to have committed this particular crime.

P.s. I'm not up to date with his other alleged crimes, note, and even his suppose embezzlement of Kano's money still needs to be proven.

I hope they don't expect me to pay staff salary during the closure, since I wouldn't be earning any income.

And I hope they realise this is an incentive for me to consider relocating my business to a state that wouldn't close my business for religious reasons, and the effect it has on employment in the state, and its effect on the ramadanians I wouldn't be paying.

You know your girlfriend more than everyone of us. What you're asking is for nairalanders to just pack a lot of ASSUMPTIONS about what may be going on.

You know she has a lot of sim cards, now she has a new Whatsapp with cleavages as profile picture. So yeah, you should be worried if someone can openly put their (or not their) cleavages as profile picture. Have a conversation with her and let her know straight up that if she's doing anything that betrays your trust, una go share garri.

Then live your life. If she does wetin make you suspect her, then do wetin you like.
He wants us to validate whatever it is that he thinks already based on the little he has told us about his gf. And next he'd be asking us if he should be on top during mating or underneath, and how long he should go on for.

Wimkeh, I bet your suspicions did not start with this call and the discovery of her other numbers. The bright side is she's not your wife, yet, so you don't exactly need to divorce her.
Nairaland GeneralRe: I Need You Advice And Opinion On This. by budaatum: 8:16pm On Feb 18
By showing "humanity" in this case, you are also accepting culpability, so why pay anything in the first place unless they have signed a waiver?

And didn't the driving instructor have insurance?

I'd have rather charged the bike owner for causing me stress and damage to my car, but since the car is not mine I don't need to charge for the damage to it, which I would have if it was.

But Hezzyluv has given better advice than mine, so please ignore me and do what he said. I am going to hell and you might want to go to that other place.

I feel like I felt when I started smiling all alone. I know why and what made me smile, and being caught doesn't change that.

Nairaland GeneralRe: At Your Age, What's Your Biggest Regret In Life by budaatum: 4:53pm On Feb 18
QuinQQ:
What's your big takeaway from Heidegger philosophy?
I've been thinking about your question, and I'm finding it rather difficult to give an answer, I confess.

One big takeaway would be his writing style and it's validation of mine. Heidegger gives words unique new meanings, which show an independence of thought and seeing things in new ways. He does not limit himself to how things (and existence) are accepted as being, but lays out the possibility that we can transcend how things are to how things can be, and makes one consider the role of we humans to explore those possibilities and bring about change in one's own life and in one's environment. Basically (and to explain through a Biblical lens, which I choose to do because many are familiar with it, and not because Heidegger makes any such connection), one can either be a mindless Adam, or a creation in God's Image with all associated abilities, though I confess that might be me reading my own understanding into Heidegger.

The biggest takeaway however, is whatever I thought I knew needs more exploration, and other possibilities need considering. This has made me somewhat humble (I'm generally very arrogant, so that's a small shift on my part), and its provoked me to go back to school to learn more. I'm considering anthropology.

I'm still digesting Being and Time, and my regret is that I didn't start sooner, because I'd have understood more about the world and others and moreso myself if I had.

This is not a synopsis of the book. I'm reluctant to write one because I'm aware it's a book that has quite a lot to say, and influences people in different ways and depending on the lenses (prior knowledge) one may have before reading it. This is just a quick response to your question, which is a question I will be returning to till I die.

I'm going to read this, and many other books before I can say I have a clue what the heck he was saying. And perhaps I might actually read the book, instead of listening to it, which is what I have done.

Speaking, Business mogul and Chairman of Dangote Group of Companies, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, thanked the federal government for the progressive policy, highlighting that Nigeria is the only country in Africa where the private sector is larger than government.

He added that domestic manufacturers welcome the policy and expressed confidence that “the naira, this year, will be at ₦1,000 to $100.”
I find it rather annoying that they unveil a policy and I can't find it anywhere. angry

I'd really like to see how they plan to achieve this "₦1,000 to $100".

The stories she tells me aren’t folktales o ---they’re stories about her childhood friends, schoolmates, family/church members and even her village people. Its full community report. Honestly, most of them don’t even deserve documentation.

She’s the last child in her family, and before we met, her mum was her official gist partner. Now she has transferred that duty to me. That’s the price I pay for marrying a mummy’s girl.

We’ve been married for over two years now, but we’ve been together for five years altogether. So yes… I’ve been attending this storytelling class for five solid years with no graduation yet. 😭😂
I presumed they were stories "about her childhood friends, schoolmates, family/church members and even her village people". I'm also presuming she's good at it too.

As for you graduating, dream on, since she's living life and gathering more stories to tell, which is why I'd encourage her to write them down and consider publishing them in a book. Tell her it's for her children to read when they grow up. It might encourage her to write.

However, she accidentally sent me a message meant for her cousin where she admitted she is still deeply in love with Joe but does not want to lose me because I am kind and dependable.

Now I am deeply afraid. If I marry her, she may still be emotionally attached to him.
No you are not afraid at all, if I were being honest with you. And your heart may be big where others are concerned, but it sure seems tiny towards yourself.

I'm not going to bother telling you what to do because I'm certain others will tell you, but I doubt you'd hear since you've told this long rambling story to convince yourself to do what you know you shouldn't.

Good luck. And do keep us updated please.

WhizdomXX:
Rivers people stayed in line to be counted yet INEC exchanged their results for Wike's money. A VC I knew then, was the REC.
So, the people beat up the corrupt INEC, right? Because, if they didn't, they should have. But better still would have been voters showing INEC they are being watched so INEC wouldn't dare. They could also have taken a valid result to court to contest Wike's money.

But the beauty of democracy is you get to resit every 4 years, and would have, in that time, found the antidote to Wike's money and corrupt INEC officials. Part of democracy is after all being a party representative observing elections so we are not robbed by the Wikes.

Wikes are like hunters who have learnt to shoot without missing. We the birds, should therefore not just stand still to be shot, but should learn to fly without perching so the Wikes miss.

This is the sort of thing I read that make me think of food on my table.

I'd learn the details of this Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) 2018 and just put a sign up in front of my house saying I help people for 10% of whatever I get back for them plus like an upfront ₦1000 registration fee, provided they have followed the rules of course.

And if the company don't pay, I'll sue them in court under this act for a refund and cost of suing. The cost would of course be mine to keep.

Don't allow anybody tell you otherwise, marriage is fun. I'm happier as a married guy compared to when I was single.
Your marriage is fun because you have a wife who wants to tell you stories about her past and because you are mature enough to listen to her sometimes, and you are being rewarded by learning to be patient.

Seems like you married recently too, so I expect your reward of patience to increase and be extended to your other relationships (work colleagues, family, children, etc), which would benefit you much in your future.

Encourage your wife to write her stories down. You never know how they might profit your family, but they very likely would.

The Court needs to clarify so this Pedro is corrected, because I very much doubt the judgment of the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, applies to Abuja alone.

Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) are not mandated by, nor does it operate under the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law.

Lagos State can indeed legislate on residual matters, including vehicle inspection and traffic management, but they shouldn't use federal VIO as their enforcing agent, and should go create a Lagos VIO funded by Lagos State!
