You are correct but do not move backward when others are moving forward. we may be stagnant but eventually the technology will get to us and will will make use of it. |

AjalaJ: What are some benefits to having a manual transmission car?
They continue to be less expensive to purchase, where they are available.
Small cars, with small engines, perform better with a manual transmission.
Manual transmissions are easier to repair than a traditional automatic transmission.
The clutch provides an extra measure of control that makes a manual transmission more pleasurable to drive for many people.
A manual transmission car is less likely to be stolen in locales where most people do not learn to drive manual.
They are the most commonly available rental cars in many parts of the world. You’ll pay extra for an automatic in many places.

GndT: in the Yoruba culture, it is a crime to give an elderly person anything with your left hand, that is the student crime. Nevertheless, in the University settings there are many students with different background and cultures, so , the invigilator should have politely corrected the student instead of what he did correct the student for what offence? |

*STARTING TOO EARLY HAS ITS SERIOUS RISKS TOO!*
An article credited to John Ogunlela
The boy with the highest JAMB score this year won't be going straight to the university after all; at least not to Unilag, his preferred school - he is below 16.
Some are boiling over and cursing JAMB, citing the contrast of 'saner climes' and how Unilag and schools with similar admission restrictions are backward and awkward. Let me say that I support Unilag's policy. Five years ago, before I had a child in a university, I probably would have seen the policy as anachronistic too, like others. People generally don't get informed easily in Nigeria, especially in expert issues. Most expert knowledge is encased and inaccessible to the public. Child education is an expert knowledge.
Education is far more natural and expansive than most people think and it can put your child at a disadvantage and even risk if you ship them off into certain academic environments before they are naturally ready. In my days, you couldn't be admitted into Primary 1 unless you were six, a standard still used in Germany. It obtained in Nigeria until the Middle Class grew into parenthood and mothers became collared workers who were no longer available for their children until 5pm. That was when Kindergarten schools took off, pretty more as Crèches or Day-Care. They were generally derisively called, 'Jelesimi', which means, 'Spare the home some peace', because they were designed just to keep the kids out of the home for a while and get them engaged. The intent was not to key them into mural education.
However, things grew out of hands and kids began yo get drilled with arithmetics at the age of four. This happened mostly because the minders of those children were not professional teachers; they overburdened and over-educated the poor children. And of course this seemed quite in order to our rabidly egoistic and competitive society: 'My child is only six and he is in Primary 4, his age mates are in Primary 1'. Thats how we are all tempted to be. What the parent does not know is that a deficit is building up in the child.
Education is essentially polishing the flow of a child with society even as he recognises his individuality. In that process, the child is equipped with tools of thoughts, chief among which is mathematics - the pure language of rationality and science, English; the language of business, politics and of the international. As a child's word is shaped immersed in that expanding pool, he is expected to be able to solve problems with increasing skills. At a point, he is expected to he able to identity and tackle problems common to the society at large. This process has humanity itself at the centre and in understanding humanity, age is important - experience comes with age. That is not something you hurry a child through or he will be good in the classroom but socially ill-adjusted. If your child is maladjusted socially, his education is almost meaningless - and there are many brilliant kids in that category today.
When your child gets into the university, he is absolutely in an adult environment. He will be confronted with all the isms at once. He will be up against atheists, drug addicts, revolutionaries, pacifists, extremists, sex addicts, homosexuals and a full assortment of characters and belief systems. He will meet with people who hate their parents, girls who have vowed never to marry, boys who think women are playthings. He will share intimate spaces with them. The university is a battle ground, not an environment you want to plunge a child into, is it? He may come out with a First Class, mind you, but he could be useless to himself and end up bitter with everybody especially those who sent him into that school too early. Some can cope of course, but they are few and I think education planners who have a duty to the public have a right to play it safe in this area and assume that those few kids are negligible in number.
If your child ends up finishing from school very early, let them go into a day school to learn programming, carpentry, piano or even 'mechanic'. A fresh vista on life will be open to them and they will appreciate life in a way no money or 'school' can buy. They call it Gap Year and it makes sense. If will help make your child a lot more well-rounded. If you push them hard and ahead too fast, you may have to carry them virtually all their lives. That's why you see so many of these students get pressed into dangerous lifestyles as soon as they get into school. One I know about, a girl, fell into a group smoking weed and all that. An unusual number are checking in for psychiatric treatment. When they get married, they report their spouse to their parents or pastors on weekly basis because their minds are cooked too rapidly. It is raw within, but done on the outside. There is a report out there that the most brilliant students are usually not very successful in life generally.
So, parents, life is not just about good classroom grades and a total-racall intellect. Go for full-blown success, not just academic records. Doesn't that make sense?

ifyboy60: I really don't know what they think china has to gain.
In full trade war, US beats china silly. they fail to understand that the US can replace china with India or even Japan. Japan used to occupy that position anyways before china came with cheaper labour and Japanese tech is even superior to Chinese sef.
I think they are been emotional. China is already loosing the war. I think trump policy is paying off. China is facing imminent danger. Chinese are emigrating in large numbers to Africans and neighbouring countries to survive. China lies about their financial system and nobody can talk. Threre is no freedom of information which is key to national development. in this era any nation that suppress information is doomed. Africa leaders should be wary of Chinese government. |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Wikipedia Now Banned In China, As It Affect All Languages by capitalzero: 7:51am On May 19, 2019 |
ifyboy60: it's deeper than that bro. china depends on us technology like Intel, Qualcomm to produce high end gadgets. they seriously depend on US for food imports especially wheats and several grain and animal food.
The US can raise taxes of 500billion dollars on Chinese imports but china can't raise more than 100billion on US imports.
China will ultimately loose the trade war if it persists, countries like India, Indonesia and the Asian tigers are waiting to replace china as the USA's main manufacturers but no country has the capacity to supply china the qty of wheat and grain the US does.
the US has excess landmass and can feed nations, china has a huge population which takes up the landmass leaving little for agriculture. You are absolutely correct. |
Romance › Re: I Caught My Fiancée Cheating by capitalzero: 4:31am On May 19, 2019 |
timmybabyface: Dear friends
Greetings to you and please pardon my manners if my ways of writing isn’t that perfect!
I met my Gf about 3years ago after my youth service in Nigeria l! she was in law school at that time and things was going on well till I finally found out that she has cheated on me when she traveled back to continue her law school in Abuja, she told me that she thought I wasn’t too serious at that time and that she’s truly sorry.
I forgive her because I love her and because of the good behavior of her parents towards me.
To cut the long story short, I have to travel outside Nigeria about one year and 8month ago to further my studies and things was really going on well between us both before I left, I always try to creat time for her out of my busy academic schedule and I still send her money according to my pocket.
When I traveled down to Nigeria to celebrate Christmas with family&friends I ask her if she has ever cheated on me when I was away. She started lying till I have to force her to talk and give her the only bible to swear but she could not do that , she was scared so she told me that she has cheated on me twice, she said the first one was when she visited her friend in Ibadan for her sister wedding and a friend of her came in without her knowledge, that she was drunk and they have sex.
She said the second one happened when she went for a job interview in Edo. according to her she said when the the interview was over that she could not go back to Lagos so her male friend log her in an hotel which both of them sleep till morning but nothing happened between them! I don’t believe a man and woman would sleep in an hotel room till morning and nothing happened! I’m a street wise and well oriented so such story is not a welcome story to me .
I’m a Nigerian I study and live in the Netherlands.
Please my dear friends kindly advise me on what to do, she has been begging me with her mom who is asking me to forgive her and that such would never happen again
Matured advice please! That I will appreciate op you are not yet mature to handle relationship. she is either a LovePeddler or not ready for any relationship. If you dare marry her,you may not be the father of your first child. she is a careless girl. |

Originalsly: Let me share... and I would like you to respond...or ... feel free to pretend you didn't read this. My supervisor did chemo.... I learned after the fact. On return she had bad days... and worse days. I shared the info about soursop....she never heard of it ...but decided to give it a try. I got brought her a box of nonGMO soursop juice. I was surprised when the following morning she demanded I buy her more regardless of price... that it was the first time she felt good. I advised her to ease down on her medications ... and I got the leaves for her to brew and use as tea. After a few weeks... she told me she was due to return for tests to see the status of the cancer... so they can know if to up the dosage or whatever. After the appointment...she came to ke just smiling and shaking her head from side to side. Her 'progress' was wayyy beyond their expectations. They kept hammering her about side effects but she kept telling them she had none. They were huddling...then coming back and ask the same question about side effects. Apparantly... that progress can only come from too strong treatment...and if too strong... there must be certain side effects. The one thing I told her... never let them know she was using alternative treatment.... use them to monitor her progress. So me harping and staunchly defending the use of soursop in particular... is not what only I read about... but results that I've seen with my own two eyes. Just in case you are wondering the levels of the specialists and the center.... it's Sloan Kettering.... that's the premier cancer research and treatment center....... pharmaceutical research and pharmaceutical treatment. They are still searching for the cure.... been searching for yearsssss.....and if they don't find it... any other claim of curing cancer is shut down..... not proven... not in the medical journals... not endorsed by the experts.... evidence can only be approved by the medical community. Almost always.... our local experts will extract as much money from the patient... and in the end..... the patient is either worse off...or dead... and what do they say?.....he came too late...if only we caught it earlier. in this case, patient combined chemotherapy with nutrition -sour soup. from my findings, best approach to cancer is to use conventional therapy and add nutritional therapy to aid fast recovery. do you know some cancers regress without treatment? melanoma is one of the deadly skin cancer that can regress. basal cell carcinoma is another skin cancer that can never kill.list goes on. |
