Say you were dating this girl, you have a misunderstanding she gets angry and dumps you. You fight about that and eventually make up because of the connection you have with each other. Subsequently, nothing goes right you break up and make up every two weeks. You fight about nothing really and it seems that the first fight and breakup is the cause because somehow your fights come back to that (as in the hurt and instability it brought) but you are still attracted to each other. By the way the fights never happen when you are together they always happen when you are apart. In each others presence you bring each other peace but the fights are so volatile you eventually grow tired of them. He starts pulling back, acting shady, lying and goes for weeks without calling. Hurt, she tells him she's not going to chase him and when he stops calling so does she. After sometime she decides this is all childish and tells him maybe it's time they deleted each other from each others lives. He gets angry, another fight breaks out (this is over the phone) she calls him bad rubbish and they never speak again.

Questions: if 3 months go by and he never tries to contact her again does that mean he's over her and doesn't want her back? What are the chances he misses her? If you were him, would you take her back if she came to you? Is it a good idea for her to make the first move or will take her for granted if she does?

ActivateKruger:
So is that all you can come up with? Honestly I expected a bit more.

Actty you can't talk sense to a fool -- let these people be. I can certainly understand why they are delusional. You know mos' kuthiwa indlala inamanyala so it's the hunger they are suffering from. Even if they are right, then they have proven that Nigerians aren't the brightest peas in the pod for what intelligent person would leave the land of manna, travel 4464 km to go live in a "violent slum", be so desperate to live in this "violent slum" they go to the extent of being an ILLEGAL ALIEN (even when they get kicked out they find desperate ways to get back in), live as a second class citizen in a shack with 50 other people in this single shack, cleaning toilets and guarding cars in the hot sun all day for R10 (that is 157nairas) per car as a living? As a matter of interest, how can people who live in slum afford to give away 157 nairas just nje because truth be told no-one needs their car to be watched because the parking lot itself is secured? On an average day a South African can give away up to R50 (786 nairas)

now both of you sound pathetic!

120 million Nigerians don't have electricity

www.premiumtimesng.com/news/137794-120mn-nigerians-lack-access-to-electricity-supply-power-minister.html

They lack sanitation and clean water too. That is why in 2014 diseases such as ecoli and ebola is still on Nigerians' lips

@Nobleval: Wikipedia? THAT is your source of information? Any one with internet connection can edit and add a wiki entry and the information is not verified hence it is not regarded as a reliable source of information. Best way to get 0% on an assignment? Reference Wikipedia

funny how over 80% of zulu/sotho slum dwellers do not have electricity.in nigeria almost every house is connected to electricity.there are slums scattered all over SA

Its useless to be connected to a power grid if the electricity doesn't work in the first place lol

And before you say you didn't say anything about a power grid in order for your household electricity to work you need to be connected to a power grid which controls the energy - (lol)

its a pity what living in soweto slums can do to people,it ret@rds the IQ of an already ret@rded zulu caveman.

Hun, please google map Soweto. It is x100 better than Lagos. It has tarred streets, wide, uncluttered roads, there are colleges, parks, libraries, robots etc. The houses are beautiful with manicured gardens. You can only dream of living in Soweto. In actual fact Soweto hosts a number of annual events such as the Soweto Wine Festival now which slum would host a wine fest? There's quad biking, bungee jumping, tshisa nyamas, Soweto is vibing my baby. The slums you talk of are where your fellow Nigerians live. You'll find 20 Nigerians living in one room.

EVarn:
do you mean boko haram is "booming" everyone in the slums of south africa?

Another example of your lack of smarts, slums are what you have in Nigeria. We have townships with streets, street names, houses with house numbers, libraries, parks etc. Our addresses are 10 Street Name, Suburb, City, Post Code not Stupid Evarn, opposite gas station, Lagos (lol and in Nigeria that is a typical business' address) LoL

Ps we don't have Boko haram in SA stupid

Zulu fisherman? Is that meant to be an insult? LOLEST!!! The Zulus were one of the world's greatest nations FYI. Kanene, remind me which Nigerian nation is revered and known the world over? LOL!

There's this wonderful program that was founded in 1998 called google. If you ask someone to help you, you can use it and just type in President Jonathan donated expired rice and you'll get a lot of hits. You can also use it to look up UK parliamentary fights and other nations. Here's one of the reports to get you started: www.nigerianmonitor.com/2014/11/14/photo-patience-jonathan-accused-of-donating-expired-rice-to-bayelsa-women/

Said this before: less concern about beautiful, well functioning SA and more concern about a government who's making people pay for the basic needs it should be providing, Boko Haram, kidnappings, hostage dramas, drug and prostitution cartels etc. etc. etc would serve Nigerians well

You are a joker.
Nollywood made close to $1.0 billion last year and is by far the biggest movie industry of black origin, excluding black hollywood.
These are facts verifiable online.
South african movie industry is a dwarf.
The fact that nollywood movies are proliferated all over the african continent, south america, the carribean and even some parts of europe shows you how big it is.
Btw i have only watched 2 southafrican films in my entire life, district 9 and jacob 's cross.
You will be hard pressed to find a south african movie in Nigeria.

You would be hard pressed to find a Nigerian movie in an actual store in SA. They are sold on the street by Nigerians to NIGERIANS!!!

Fact remains Nigerians watch Nigerian movies, the WORLD watches SA movies. Nigerians did multiply like rats then ran away from "wonderful" Nigeria and infested other countries. Those sales in the other countries are by Nigerians not the natives. Nollywood is not commercial outside the Nigerian/West African market.

At least you watched 2 SA movies (which means you watched one and afterwards CONSCIENCELY went and watched another-lol). I don't know of a single SA who would consciencely watch EVEN ONE Nollywood crap spew. At most those who have had the misfortune of catching it on TV watch no more than 5 minutes and never watch it again. Hence we don't know these "celebrities" you name because we don't care to know them. Face reality SA is a gazillion times better than Nigeria. Which of these stars of yours have won Oscars or walked the red carpet and were capture in international magazines, talk shows and showbiz shows

EVarn:
nonsense talk.taiwan practise a socialist government dubbed "democratic socialism".many asian country arent viable examples of a democratic governments.brawling in the parliament isnt "good",its barbaric and unprogressive.

Shows just how little you know. The Asian Tigers are social DEMOCRATIC countries that practice collective capitalism my pumpkin. Many European and South American countries such as Germany and France also practice social democracy, as does SA. There is no pure "form" of democracy or capitalism. Social democracy is the most practiced form of democracy the world over and has proved to improve people's livelihoods. Shame the Nigerian situation is pathetically sad, it seems your government has been feeding you propaganda that is designed to put blinders on your eyes and it clearly has been working.


...Just saw your profile picture, now everything makes sense - your misguided "knowledge" and your childish tantrums... You are nothing but a baby! My child please stay/go to school you still have a lot to learn.

Btw i watched a recent video of Taiwanese lawmakers engaging in "free for all" kung fu fighting ,due to a disagreement in the location of some nuclear power plants.
Hilarious video.

Pls pass on to Evarn he doesn't seem to know the parliament fights are the norm and are considered "good"

@my fellow SAns: let us leave these delusional and ignorant Nigerians. Please understand they are hungry and malnourished therefore their brains lack nutrition to develop properly and be able to absorb knowledge and function properly. Talking sense to them is a pointless exercise. Their arrogance knows no bounds, even when it clearly does not serve them.

@Naijas: since you have such a wonderful a wonderful economy and government, come get your brothers and sisters they are depleting our "pathetic" economy, clearly our sympathy to their plight has been misguided.

LOLEST!!! Who the hell is Wizkid et al? You Nigerians are really delusional. You think we know or even care about your "celebrities"? LMAO

Nollywood? That pathetic, low budget sorry for an excuse movie "industry"? How many Oscars and Oscar nominations has Nollywood produced? How many international movies have been made in Nigeria or international stars have acted in Nollywood movies?

Who buys Nigerian movies? NIGERIANS! Who buys SA movies? THE WORLD!

some ignorant fool who doesn't watch much parliamentary TV thinks he knows it all. If he knew just a teeny, weeny bit or watched parliamentary TV he would know fights are common and that in the UK they even punch each other. Ignorance is definitely NOT bliss!

Less concern about WONDERFUL SA and more concern about ABYSMAL Nigeria and you would know when your president distributed expired rice.

Lol... Nigerian government really needs to invest in it's people. I can see your education is lacking... Giving people expired food that will make people sick is NOT providing basic needs

Why do you need to convert? Isn't G-d, G-d? What is it that is so fundamental with regards to praising G-d that they do at Celestial that the Anglican doesn't do and vice versa? Isn't the point of worship praising and honouring G-d more than abiding church traditions? Therefore why can't you praise G-d at the anglican church and him at his its not like G-d will burn you if you choose different churches...

You do realize that employees in SA have rights don't you? You are not allowed to just fire a person there are steps to follow first or else she'll report you then you'll have authorities on your a**

As for your other issue, your problem is you are looking for an obedient woman, there's your problem right there -- obedient. We are not taught to be obedient we are taught to stand up for ourselves. SA woman will answer you back, so if you want obedient then stick to Nigerian women there are plenty in SA.

@DieeDiee,congratulations!,you succeded in writting three epistles,i'm sure apostle paul will be proud!....now let me dismantle you dêluxioñs` dù gràndûer.
(i)first of all,nigeria isnt 60 years old,it shows what you know.
(ii)i do not dispute that it is productive for the government to invest in the people{it raises HDI},but that brings us population size,example; a country earning a gross revenue of $120billion,has a population of 200million,once budget spending is removed,do you think what remains will be enough to share among citizens?,nigeria's idea of investing in citizens is to give out funds for MSMEs,funding businesses that'll provide jobs and investments,and latter increases government revenue.
(iii)did you say SA has a "stable economic and political environment"?,your economy is stagnant,and correct me if i'm wrong,but isnt it in SA;
*that the parliament is a wrestling ring?
*that police invades the parliament to drag out an opposition member?
*that MPs scream "pay back the money" at the president?.

Parliamentary fights are common the world over in democratic countries and are a sign of a vibrant and democratic environment its called democracy in action you would know that if you didn't live a country that thinks democracy = campaigning by passing out expired rice repackaged with president's face

my my,you're almost near tears,but do not fret mon Àmor,i will take it easy on ya.now let me lecture you{slowly of course}:
what i said is that the HDI of a country with a smaller population tend to higher than that of a country with a denser population.however,when a country with a big population fully develops,they tend to have a very high HDI as in the case of the USA,i never said anything about PPP,do you now understand?,no?,*sigh*,ok let me put it this was,a smaller population means:
*lesser people people to employ,in which case people easily find employment
*lesser inflation rate,as money circulates properly,price of goods and services are easily regulated,and the currency has high value
*lower poverty rate as most people are employed and earn enough
*much higher exchange rate and foreign reserve
*an even distribution of wealth and public service etc
do you at least get my drift?yeah?ok!

FYI inflation is determined by push and pull factors of the economy not government regulation in actual fact government should intervene as little as possible and allow the economic mechanism find its balance.

And what are you going to give your man? Or he got no value, huh?

He gets me! That's the most valuable thing he can get.

Economic cycle: owners of factors of production (that would be people) invest and sell their factors of production (eg rent out premises, skills and knowledge etc.) They earn on their factors of production (eg salaries, wages, interest earned, profits etc.) And use their earnings by buying and investing more - the economic multiplier - what happens is that the more people earn the higher the demand for goods (eg sneakers, ipads etc.) , the higher the supply, the higher the demand for investment and factors of production and income goes up (i.e. Unemployment goes down, people earn more on their factors of production etc.) Higher income means higher tax base for government, higher tax base means income for government to do what? Come on repeat after me... To...invest...in...the...development...of...its...people. Okay we are nearly there. What happens when government invests in human development? The...HDI...rises!!!

So you see high population, low population really doesn't matter what matters is government's competency and management (which I guess the lazy SAns with their laziness managed to somehow get right - WOW (ps that was sarcasm right there)).

Okay I did not read any of that the 1st paragraph shows you do not understand the economic cycle and how the HDI fits in.
First off, PPP is the adjusted GDP and measures the GDP per capita but on an even scale so that different economies (read: different countries) can be compared on an even scale. Yes you did talk about the PPP but you just don't know you were. If you are comparing countries it is really pointless to use nominal GDP because then you are comparing apples and oranges both are fruit are fruit but not same fruit. In other words what is the point of comparing Naira with the Yen when it has no value or power outside Nigeria? PPP allows us to compare because it adjusts all currencies.

As for the HDI, the Human Development Index, it measures not only the standard of living but literacy, skills, economic participation, health, life expectancy etc. - you know the things that you so proudly declare you provide for yourselves when your government should be doing. The things that the Korean, German, Brazilian, UAE, SOUTH AFRICA, Tanzania and other governments of the most developed and further developed than Nigeria countries provide. This is government's investment in it's people and economy THIS is what raises the HDI not POPULATION.

Your premise still falls flat, because what I said before still stands. China with a population of 1.63 BILLION has a higher HDI than SA, Nigeria, Gabon all which have a population significantly lower than China. Why? Because the core of development and its sustainability lies with a STRONG, SOLID AND HEALTHY ECONOMY BASE WITH LITTLE TO NO LEAKAGE AND A STABLE POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT. Up until you clean out the wax in your ears and lose that useless arrogance that is taking you nowhere and learn from the "lazy South Africans" who have a solid and stable economy and political environment. 60 years after your "independence" Nigeria is still in an abyss. That is so sad because Nigeria has so much potential but as the saying goes ignorance and stupid, useless arrogance comes before Nigeria's fall.
