Most, not all, right? The few ones that are not hearsays, what's your view on them? They are true, i guess.

Mine is to meet you in Lagos and stream you live online, eating grass with reckless abandon.

Not going to lie I did not bother reading through most of the stories shared via that link. The ones I read were enough for me determine that the majority of the stories written there are false. I even scrolled down a bit looking for video evidence to validate their claims alas none. Just words of mouth.

Show me video evidence first nau abi is that too much to ask?

Have you read through that link dropped by homesteady?

Don't let raumdeuter push you into fire. Juju dey, but God pass am.

Just continue enjoying your Pizza over there.

Most of the stories on that Link are what we would call "Hearsay". Zero irrefutable evidence to back up their claims just a few randoms on the World Wide Web telling us stories that makes absolutely no sense. In the words of a wise woman, "If it does not add up, it is simply not true"

airmark:
When are you showing up in Lagos bro? The grasses are waiting for you.

I was adviced never to get close to a female urine as well as avoid eating food cooked with "dog meats"

........If this isn't a piss-take quite literally and figuratively, then I don't know what else is.

At least the majority of NBA fandom agree that Giannis above Iverson is sacrilege.

Absolutely......Giannis will almost certainly surpass Him not just yet.

Leyqute:
Apart from that, those people had a general agreement on infrastructure, health, and other stuff that makes an economy tick irrespective of their background and ideologies.

Nigeria also has oil but the opposite is the reality. To us, oil was a curse, to them it was a blessing. Why?

Most of these nations have the Majority of their populace pulling in the same direction because of it's religious/ethnic make up unlike Nigeria that is hugely divided amongst Religious and Tribal lines.


I agree with though, Religion on it's own is not Nigeria's problem. It's a combination of Religion and other Factors like High levels of Illiteracy that is it's problem. It's a Nation full of Bigots.

madrid5:
Groups that practice religions are actually the poorest and less educated in today's world,also why on earth would u call Saudi Arabia prosperous

I suppose compared to a Nation like Nigeria, it's actually quite prosperous.

However as someone pointed out earlier, it's relatively small popupation combined with it's vast Oil reserves has a lot do with it.

Keep two, bin one...

One of Zidane or Ronaldinho has got to go I'm afraid.

steady986:
ESPN ranked Giannis above Patrick Ewing, Allen Iverson and Isiah Thomas, and ranked Kawhi above all these guys plus D Wade. It's still these same ESPN analysts that say MJ is the GOAT. That says it all.

ESPN's list like most others are highly subjective. Unless your own personal list directly matches that of ESPN's, you are likely to disagree with it.

IL CAPITANO!

fatima04:
In my ahead, I see the grammar schools as a better version of Pro Unitate schools in Nigeria

It's not in your head , it pretty much is. The both aim to educate the brightest of the bright in the society.

The slight difference being Grammar Schools were set up to help bridge the Gap between the Rich and Poor of the society whilst unity schools were set up to create an environment that would help foster the integration of the Various tribes in Nigeria.

Lexusgs430:
Move to an area, with enough Grammar schools......

Would be too much pain for kids to have a 2 hours journey, either way.........

I know kids that attend from London......

London - Kent..... They wake up much earlier, get on the train, then one bus to school.......

I very much like this Uncle Lexus(Everyone is calling you Bro now so i'll follow suit)

Lexusgs430:
Agreed about cost of extra tuition. It was not a cheap adventure

It'll be well worth it in the end. It was either that or a Prep School and we all know which one of the two is considerably cheaper

Lexusgs430:
Considering the fact that they are in grammar schools, they still get extra top tuitions afterwards .........

The fact that you are so deeply invested in your Kids education means the chances of any of them being Low achievers are slim to none. Keep at it. You won't regret it.

Lexusgs430:
They hate us for it, but what can we does....

Pay them no mind .....They will all thank you in a few years time when they've all become High Fliers in their respective careers.

Lexusgs430:
Agreed. But if the Grammar school chosen is over subscribed, you would have other 4 to select from.

Absolutely 100% reason why I asked where the OP resided. If the OP for example lives around the environs of Kent, then He/She has got quite a number of options.

On the other hand, If He/She lives in my area(North London), His/Her options are quite limited and as a result quite competitive(first hand experience). So the advice I'd give to a Parent that lives in Kent would be vastly different from one that lives in my area.

Lexusgs430:
Using myself as an example, i have 3 kids, all in grammar schools and they are all in the grammar schools that we choose.

This is the reason why I am a big advocate for the creation of more Grammar Schools around the country. Once again i'll use my area of residence as an example. Without having tons of cash to spend on either extensive tutoring or sending your wards to Prep Schools, having 3 kids all in Grammar Schools would be nigh on impossible.

Lexusgs430:
I completely disagree with some of your points.

What points do you disagree with if I may ask?

Lexusgs430:
Kids have an 11+ examination to qualify for grammar school, if they are out by just 1 point, they do not qualify.

Yh I was coming to that. Heck forget about being out by 1 point. Some even pass it outrightly and still fail to get admitted because of how competitive places are at certain Grammar Schools.

Imagine 'the only day' for a player that played for Bayern for about 10yrs. When we have uncountable days he played as the worst defender in the world.

...Unlike others days were You would watch Boateng and simply throw out a blanket statement like "Boateng is one of the Top 10 Defenders in the world", He was actually played like THE BEST DEFENDER in the world on that night.

I'll give you an example. Hummels up to that point had had the better world cup of the two and I won't be pushing it If I said He was amongst the Top 2-3 in world footy. However on that night, Boateng Looked a Cut above Him. Yes, He was that good.

11 on 1 humiliation to win the world cup

Boateng was immense that night. That was probably the only day I truly believed He was the THE BEST DEFENDER in world footy. My man was having none of it that day. Nothing could get past the Him. He was really and truly a TANK that night.
