Strong women AKA feminists needs absolutely everything men have to offer 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
This simply means women are weakest of weaks except when men provide them whatever they need
You mean like child you are weak until your own parents provide you with what you need to be strong?

I agree. We are asking you parents to provide the same for your own daughters and sons so they too can be strong like Dangote's daughters have been provided for by their parents so they can be strong.

It is these sort of lïes that make me ignore you.

Just see how you went from "The problem is…most of the people who approved this ad ARE LIKELY BLACK!" that you yourself posted, to what you are now claiming with no knowledge or evidence whatsoever. And if I give you the opportunity you'd waste my time arguing what you have no knowledge of.

What good does it do you to steal a technology that you don't have the capacity and state support to replicate in Nigeria?
You sound like I am asking us to steal half (technology) to replicate, while I am asking us to steal the knowledge and create whatever support we can give to ourselves to build our own capacity and build our own technology in Nigeria like China has done when they stole knowledge and technology and capacity from USA and the rest of the world and used it to build their own.

Links below tell the story of the Chinese stealing British crown jewels. Think big thieves please, and not the petty pickpocket you seem to have in mind.

Please know that capacity is a capability, which is an ability, as in a 'be able to do'. And I am starting from theft, as in stealing the ability from others who already have it so one can have that ability (able to use) oneself. So think big big thieves, by as many of us who can.

and you think they will just let you steal knowledge go back and implement it back home so you can eliminate them?.

I don't think you fully grabs how clever societies that are ahead of you are. they are always steps ahead.
Why would I think such stupïdness? Does anyone you know let you steal what they have?

I think I do "fully grabs how clever societies that are ahead of you are". That's why we must steal from them and not from those who are behind or only slightly ahead of us please.

Judybash93:
I bagged my master's degree in China..In my University, we weren't allowed to go into some of the labs that Chinese students could access due to the nature of the research they were carrying out. Mind you, i needed access into the lab to do a number of experiments but ọmọ, i couldn't go because of that limitation. They'd defend anything that has to do with state secret. Anything could be tagged state secret.
Damn those Chinese!

I'm very delighted you tried but I feel we must now need better thieves than you. Like you are thief 1.0 and we now need thief 2.0 standing on your shoulder to steal what they did not let you steal.

I am so glad you tried.

HIgh levels of societal trust, freedom of expression and association, a belief in the equality of all men, a coherent deeply embedded social charter, personal liberties and human rights are the bedrock. A shared sense of national unity and orthodoxy are also really helpful, key some may say.
Just one. By "all men", do you mean, all humans?

For that is my reading and I might be right.

One thing not said about this thread is UK just got a new prime minister who needs to be tested, and every Union in the country wants more cake and students want a minimum wage.

I wouldn't be surprised if we have strikes soon.

LordLicifer:
I quite understood your facts, and i feel convinced, however as i said, earlier, as difficults as it may be to obtain an asylum after having entered as student it hasn't detered them from applying.
By "them", I hope you mean 'some' and not all or even most.

Many students who come to United Kingdom will want to stay, especially if from a country with an economy like ours, and they will do anything to stay including "claim to be gay and some claim to be Afghanis" and "go to gay bars in the west end to take photos" as you've pointed out. I've even heard of some committing crime just so they can stay here in prison, but out of about 400k foreign students only 10k applied for asylum and much fewer are granted, according to evidence you say you "understood your facts, and i feel convinced" about, lol. But it's me. My sorry. I'm just pedantic.

LordLicifer:
And they are not been deported either because they keep appealing until their appeal are exhausted which takes months and months.
Now, this is true. Many asylum seekers will "keep appealing until their appeal are exhausted which takes months and months", but many students would just go back home, or better still apply for UK Graduate Visas or Skilled Worker Visas, since they ought to better be able to use the knowledge they just spent over £20k a year getting to work out a stay than to claim asylum and refugee.

And no, I'm not suggesting those routes are any easier, but they can "keep appealing until their appeal are exhausted which takes months and months" too.

LordLicifer:
It has been interesting indulging you i have enjoyed it
I'm enjoying it too. Below shows what most students do. It isn't asylum or refugee seeking.

LordLicifer:
The data should be out there and i believe it is out there for public interest regardless if it encourages people or not.

My point initially was that almost all students who entered on student visas never leave, they apply for asylum or ends up staying through other immigration routes.

Even as of today student visa holders can apply to stay through the COS healthcare route i gathered.
Most don't qualify for the healthcare route, and the healthcare route is not the same as the student or asylum route.

You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to claim asylum in UK after having been here on a student visa, and there's no way to convince you despite providing you with facts, so I rest.

LordLicifer:
Interesting. I would like you to show me the stats. On the number of foreign students who went along to claim asylum after their student visas expired .
I would love to but such data is not made available so as not to encourage others. Still, 3% success rate is low.

LordLicifer:
Immigration laws does not make it easy to enter as a student and then claim asylum but it doesn't stop anyone/student from doing so.
Indeed anyone can apply. That does not mean so many are successful. 3% of 10,835 is very low considering over 400k student visas are granted.

IjeBos:
I'm trying to separate myself from the jurors and focusing on what their job was.
Their job was to set their biases aside, follow the law and vote based on the jury instructions whether they liked the law or not.
He told the other jurors he had reasonable doubt (have no reason to believe all 11 are lying when they said that) and by his words "was trying to figure out theories" (not his job). Therefore, he should have voted not guilty by reason of insanity.
It's binary.
You don't' have reasonable doubts about what the prosecution said, guilty.
You have reasonable doubts about what the prosecution said, not guilty by insanity. That was his job.

Now he could have decided he didn't like the law and even though he had reasonable doubt, just nullified the jury by voting guilty (without insanity). But he should be honest about that.

So, I do appreciate the convesation. From what I know of you, I think your justice minded, so your opinion here had to make me reevaluate why I thought what I thought. And I did. And I've come to the conclusion that you may have a bias here (no disrespect). Because I can't reconcile with what I believe is your justice mindedness, with what you believe about this case, with the fact of the case (as presented to the jury).
Of course I do have a bias, though it's not about this person's guilt or not, but if I were a juror my bias would likely influence my decision. Thankfully, there's eleven others with their own biases which may result in a decision that differs to mine.

I hope she is not found guilty in the end. I even hope the prosecutor will decide not to prosecute her again, as I bet more jurors (and not most) would find her guilty to make a point and there'd be another mistrial.

Nigeria needs the Hi Tech Manufacturing expertise of the Chinese inside Nigeria right now.

Putting Tribe aside Nigeria has over 200 Million mouths to feed , Clothe and House and this present Analogue Buying and Selling regime Just cannot deliver the type of Technology Transfer or massive Industrial Revolution that Nigeria needs to Accomplish it, the Chinese have already done it successfully in their own country and we need to learn it from them
That's precisely why I advocate that we Nigerians go learn in China to 'steal' their technology and come implement it in Nigeria. I even suspect they might pay us to learn so we are useful for them when they come here.

Not up to %1 leaves or left. Infact, Most if not all never leave, their intentions were to stay but only used student visas to enter, there have been A massive surge in migrants who entered are students now claiming asylum or refugees. (Parasites)

If a foreign student cannot afford to fund their studies anymore why not just leave rather they stay illegally and turn to crime that indicates that had being their original ulterior motives.
The UK issued around 406,824 sponsored study visas to main international applicant students in 2025 and less than 11,000 apply for asylum and refugee.

Immigration law does not make it easy to enter UK as a student and then claim assylum, unless you have evidence of prosecution in your home country, which does not apply to most students.

Most of those who apply for refugee or asylum are refused, which is why most do not go to UK anymore.

LordLicifer:
Correct, as you have rightly said, foreign students are expected to leave the country after their educations. But they don't leave! None ever left. Therefor they become parasites hence the tightening of student visas system
Many do leave. There's lots of foreign students from wealthy nations who are paid to be educated in UK to return to jobs back in their home country. And those who do stay can not be parasites, as they have no recourse to the public purse.

The tightening of the student visas system is so people don't abuse it as an entry system to not study, as they wouldn't have the means to fund their stay neither, and may likely turn to crime to survive.

Hehehe! E don it is red red hot everywhere, This is not funny @ all. The noose kept getting tighter and tighter. No wonder, they now see foreign students as economic parasites hence tightening immigrations rules.

Even UK PLAB is not more a feasible today as the NHS said they don't have enough space for UK graduates let alone IMGs.
This is very not correct and is very wrong. UK does not see foreign students as parasites at all, and in fact needs them to subsidise the UK education system. Unfortunately, foreign students are seeming to be finding better places to go get their education, and have abandoned UK. And the reduction in revenue due to the fall has left many universities struggling financially.

Giving education and providing jobs are 2 separate things. Foreign students are expected to leave the country after their education.
