Foreign Affairs › Re: Russia Bombs Data Centers In Ukraine, Killing 6 (Photos) by drnoel: 11:00am On Oct 13
hotmoza:
This is a worrying development because data centers are not just buildings full of computers; they support banking, communication, businesses, and many essential online services. When they are attacked, ordinary people and companies often suffer the consequences. Russia says it is targeting infrastructure linked to Ukraine's military, but damage to civilian facilities can also disrupt everyday life. Both sides need to understand that escalating attacks on critical infrastructure will only make recovery more difficult and increase the suffering of civilians. This war needs a serious diplomatic solution, not another cycle of retaliation.
They are mostly used for propaganda. Like this your post is from a russian data centre

The AFD are only strong in eatern germany. A region that has less industries, and historically were separate from western Germany which was prosperous. They don't have federal might(yet), and even if they win a state as they did in Saxon Anhalt, they need a coalition to run a government. That means most of their schemes won't work because the other coalition parties will strike most of their plans in parliament.


The goal is to avoid East germany, get PR, citizenship and be eligible to go to any EU country to work in the future.

It would also be easier to move to the USA with an EU passport
Time, language and Age!!!
It's not as easy as you think

Some major realities:

1. You're forty, don't make the mistake of leaving germany for another study route. Your 37k euros saved should be used for a permanent option.

2. You really did messed up not getting atleast B2 after 6 years. Lager is never the way.

3. Immigration polices are changing daily and becoming brutal. Germany still offers one of the most stable options. With your 6 years stay, you already qualify for citizenship if you can just get a professional job for one year. If I were you, I'll drop that lager, and then invest the next 6 months for fulltime deutsch starting from A2 to B2.2(Aim for C1.1 if your A2 is strong). With these, you can easily get a job and you won't have problems with auslanderbehorde.

Brother, Canada, USA are not stable right now. Forget the UK. Besides the English aspect, you'll regret leaving germany for the UK on every metric. Only the language is the difference. If you can trust the process for stability with that deutsch path, I promise you, it will be the best investment. DON'T GO TO ANOTHER WESTERN NATION UNLESS ITS VIA PR.
While you write this out what the AFD is doing in consideration.
Politics › Re: 2027: If Elected, I’ll Crash Petrol Price To ₦200 Per Litre – Adebayo by drnoel: 11:10am On Sep 08
nairalanda1:
One of the most irritating things on this site are the people that defend subsidy retention. It's like they have forgotten how messed up the last 4-5 decades were for our domestic refining.

It's like people do not understand how a subsidy works. Because of the volaitilty of the oil market it means that prices would always vary from time to time, usually on the upward trend, and the fact that all the oil rigs and refineries are built abroad, and assembled here in nigeria or transported to nigeria to be assembled on site...makes the process of refining fuel expensive.

So, with that in mind, refining fuel is going to be expensive, meaning that at the end, when government has budgeted a sum for subsidy, it would have to add more money for the subsidy by borrowing. Inevitably, the borrowing is not going to be enough, so the government has to choose between refinery upkeep and subsidised fuel, and usually it is the latter. That is the story of how we lost four refineries. And why corruption is a big issue.

But telling people this on this site means that you are a tinubu supporter, and hate the masses.

I mean, something that is simple economic sense, means you support tinubu. Make it make sense. So, in 2012, I was a gej supporter when I supported subsidy removal? I mean, you can support neither gej or tinubu, and i do not support either of them or even atiku self, I am backing obi because he at least talks about reinvesting subsidy savings in needy people, not brining it back.

The even more ignorant ones would shout subsidy is done in other countries...and when you tell them that those countries pay massive tax and are running diversifed economies to fund the subsidy, dem go shout 'we are poor'...

Honestly, on this site, people, even those who should know better, revel in their ignornance, or are far more interested in pushing their candidate, rather than discussing and accepting sane economics. And yes, most people are suffering...I am even suffering under this economy, but I am not going to support something, even if it is my own candidate, even if na may person that says subsidy should come back...that would put debt burden on us, destroy our productive capacity, and render millions jobless because we must have cheap fuel, and worsen my suffering to the point that I would be saying tinubu time was good time..bleargh.


Like see this SDP candidate? Fuel at N200 is going to cost our budget N54 trillion naira. Our budget this year is 68 trillion naira. Where the eff is he going to get the money? Is he going to borrow?
If you think subsidy was removed, you are joking. There is no petroleum producing country that does not subsidize some or a petroleum product in this world. They just do it in different or several ways.

She was earning 180k
Later got promoted and her salary was increased because of that ,she wasn't comfortable with the joint account any longer which she suggested when she was earning less.

I only summarized the thread
Funny you should say that.
Funny men would still not have problems with the joint account even if his salary increment was from 180 thousand to 1.8 million.
Funny many women would have problems later with such arrangements.
Funny you are still trying to defend what is indefensible.
Goodluck with that!!
Other thing I would like to add this this as FFS:
1) Men know your worth.
2) Never take concession from the opposite sex unless they are what you want to take (with your eyes open).
3) Hold your principles.
4) Never compromise without the opposite sex meeting you halfway.

An easy way out if for her to either put her initial 180 or the same 400 he earns and the rest she can transfer to her own account for her own stuff

What obidients dont know claiming tinubu betrayed gej for buhari a northerner is this...... speaking from experience and what truely transpired......GEJ had a one on one with tinubu in aso rock and tinubu and the ACN hierarchy at the 11th hour during the 2011 elections directed that support should be given to GEJ as against ribadu the party's candidate,that was how gej was able to have a easier ride across the SW only aregbesola negated that agreement where gej lost in osun.

That was atiku's golden opportunity to have been president, if atiku had persevered enough and had been principled enough instead of jumping back to the pdp,buhari wouldn't have happened in 2015 and possibly gej in 2011.

What is the difference between this two Vaseline because the price differs.

Though I usually buy the one of N3500 so one day I wanted to buy again so I went to the shop I use to buy my groceries but they didn't have it, so I asked why they didn't have it, only for the lady to tell me that they have that they just brought and they haven't put it on their shelf for display, so she then went to bring it for me, only for me to ask how much was it because my mind was fixed for the usual N3500 I do pay before, then she said N13000 ( the one on the left), I was thinking she was joking but she insisted that it was the real price, she said there are two different types. Vaseline N13000 !!!
Please who have used this vaseline before? And please what is the difference? I heard there is America made vaseline and there is Nigeria made vaseline .....
No difference. More money does not mean better quality, that's a Nigerian misnomer.
Normally more money means you are paying the importation cost or the cost of the bottle

Family › Re: Canada-based Wife Also Vows Never To Cheat by drnoel: 4:15pm On Jul 22
Glimpsetv:
Woman Who Asked Husband to Swear Against Cheating Shares Her Own Faithfulness Vow

The Nigerian woman who asked her husband to publicly vow never to cheat on her before she brings him to Canada has now made a similar promise of her own.

Ezinne Maryjane Nwanorue shared a video on social media in which she pledged to remain sexually faithful to her husband, Franklin Chimaobim Nwanorue, for the rest of their marriage. In the emotional video, she declared that if she ever becomes unfaithful to him, she should die in the name of Jesus Christ.

Beyond promising fidelity, Ezinne also vowed to remain a loving and supportive wife to her husband and a caring mother to their children. She prayed that God would help them keep their promises and use their marriage as a positive example to other couples.

Her video comes shortly after her husband's public declaration gained widespread attention online. In his own video, Franklin apologized for his past mistakes and promised never to cheat on his wife after joining her in Canada. He also declared that if he ever broke that promise through infidelity, he should die in the name of Jesus Christ.

The couple's public exchange of vows has continued to generate mixed reactions on social media. While some people have praised their willingness to hold each other accountable and start afresh, others believe such deeply personal commitments should have remained private.

Watch the video and share your thoughts in the comments.

Travel › Re: These Japa Coaches Are Lowkey Predatory by drnoel: 11:22am On May 25
viralmoney25:
I’ve been trying to find Nigerians abroad for work, interviewing them and asking how they relocated. One thing I’ve noticed during my search is how everybody is now a “Japa coach”.

Everywhere you turn now, somebody is selling a relocation masterclass, consultation, CV package, visa mentorship, Telegram group, “secret route”, etc.
And maybe it’s just me, but some of the prices are insane 😭

Like, I understand people monetising knowledge, but sometimes it feels like they are taking advantage of how desperate and confused a lot of Nigerians are right now, especially because half the time the information is already publicly available or came from another random person’s Twitter thread.
I even saw somebody charging for “hidden European countries Nigerians don’t know about” 😭 what's that about?

It just made me realise how deeply capitalistic and exploitative Nigerians can be, especially when we're in a seemingly better situation than before; we barely hear enough from normal people who actually relocated successfully without all this packaging around it.
To correct or add to your opinion. Any person that asks you for money to help you with visa runs is trying to exploit you. It's a usually as simple as that

Oracleee:
Some people don’t like hearing hard truths, but it doesn’t change reality.
First, life doesn’t cancel consequences. Every decision good or bad has a price. And the painful part is most times, the people who pay are not the ones who made the decision. It’s the innocent ones, especially children. They didn’t ask to be born into confusion, broken homes, or instability, yet they carry it for life.


Second, let’s stop pretending people are clueless. Responsibility exists. A woman has full control over her body. Nobody sleeps with her unless she allows it except in cases like rape. So let’s not act like most situations are accidents. People know what they’re doing.
They know the difference between a man who is serious and one who is just playing. They know who has direction and who doesn’t. But many times, they ignore the good and chase what is exciting, risky, or “spicy.” That whole idea of “I can change him” has destroyed more futures than people want to admit.


Third, you cannot build a future on illusion. You cannot reform a grown adult who doesn’t want to change. that’s self-deception. A man who has built irresponsible habits over years will not suddenly transform because of feelings.
And let’s be honest when a relationship crashes, people from the outside like to assume, “If I were there, I would have done better.” Most times, you don’t even know the full story. What you think you’re seeing is not the complete picture. There are things beneath the surface you may never understand.
At the end of the day, nobody escapes accountability. Choices have consequences. And if people refuse to be disciplined in their decisions especially around sex, relationships, and family then someone, somewhere, will pay for it.

That’s reality and I won't be the clean up guy that might not have been picked before the mess.
Good thing about your comment us that it's your opinion albeit it being a naïve as it gets, shows no real life in experience.
Your probably didn't learn anything growing up and sad, you wouldn't learn it on NL.
It's probably best you learn the hard way and make up your mind about life. Anyways not all the meets the eye is white.
Single mothers are no the bane of existence.
Many of them are no architects of their situation doesn't mean you condemn all of them

Now back to the topic. If you were previously like you said you were and have changed due to peer pressure or situational/ environment pressure then you have no self-identity cos you have changed for the worse.
But know one thing. This life is a po short to be used on silliness. I mean count all the time you have wasted your life thinking about how irrelevant thing that won't bring in further in life.

A virgin female doctor?
Hehehehe.... Asin, not to sound ignorant o... I guess there are tons of females who go through roughly 7years of medical school, 1year of housemanship, 1 year of youth service, around 3 years of junior residency...

Well, to return to your query... It could really be that she was ashamed, but I think she could have brought up the truth that she already had premarital sex before and doesn't want to do it again, without revealing anything about the abortion, and without claiming immaculate abstinence...but alas.

As you said, you like the way she carries herself.... Now I want to hope you rushed marriage preparation because of her value as a woman, AND NOT BECAUSE OF THE ILLUSION OF RETAINED HYMEN?

If the hymen was all you cared about, then I guess you should look for another resident doctor whose hymen is still resident in its natural position.

But if you want to marry her because of her personal qualities, see how you can forgive her LIE, but know that something built on a foundation of lies, already has a k-leg.

I wish you the bery vest.
To correct this misnomer, there are female doctors that go thru all these and don't mess around. I schooled withany of them. It hard but it can be done. My set we were very close so we knew who was messing around with who and we kept our mouths shut.

Please house, I need mature advice. This matter is tearing me apart.

I met this lady (a doctor)
4 months ago. I'm 35, she is 31.
She told me she was a virgin and I believed her because of how she carried herself. I was very happy and rushed everything – introduction, engagement, and marriage plans (I promised my mum that I would get married before December 2026). We were supposed to do our traditional marriage in one week’s time.

Last week, I received an anonymous WhatsApp message. The person sent pregnancy test results showing that my fiancée was pregnant for her ex-boyfriend during her 1-year residency. She had told me about this ex, but said they never had sex, and that was why they broke up.
I confronted her with the message. At first, she denied it and said it was fake, someone trying to spoil her name. But when I said I would call her best friend to confirm, she broke down and confessed the truth.
She admitted she got pregnant for the ex, aborted it immediately, and promised herself never to have premarital sex again. She said she was ashamed and didn’t want to lose me, so she lied about being a virgin.
Now I’m confused and heartbroken. I love her but the lies are too much.
On the other hand, I have already invited many people – including the chief of my village and my manager at work. Cancelling now will bring serious shame and talk in my village and workplace.

Please Nairalanders, what should I do? Should I go ahead with the marriage or cancel everything? Has anyone been in this kind of situation?

I need honest advice.
What's there to advise you about.
Sit down with her and talk it through.
Get the truth, the plain truth no matter how unpalatable it sounds, get it. Then make your decision.

Don't try it o. Especially single moms in their 30's. The one I dated was 33 with series of male orbiters and friends. She had her baby daddy calling and kept contact with her exes(3 out of 6) ..hahaha.

She abandoned her 13yr old with the grand parents for 13yrs despite her financial stability, all just to avoid being a responsible woman. I tried so many times to have her daughter stay over at hers , for holidays even if it was 3days. She wouldn't allow it. The poor child would beg me to speak to her mom to let her come over.

She still prioritizes night life (night club and night parties) with her unmarried friends( circle of one female and multiple male).

I've never been so insecure my life. What's worse was I even wanted to wed her .

In the end , the same male friends she told me not to worry about were the same guys she went to sleep at their houses for 7 consecutive nights(3 different male friends ) because she was depressed and needed to be cheered up cuz we fought and I said harsh things to her . Really huh?

She confessed this and still claimed nothing happened because she saw I was all in and still wants to manipulate me.

I even recalled sending her tp to transport the industrial machines she bought, and alongside her was a male friend who assisted her with the machines. Guess what? She told me the guy helped her set them up and couldn't go back home so she let him pass the night . She said nothing happened. Lol cuz I'm dumb.

Just want to clarify that single mums and widows are not the same thing.

There are single mums as a result of youthful recklessness, or single mum that left due to domestic violence, or single mums that are widow.

Although it’s safe to marry a single mum that is a widow and the kid’s paternity have been settled.

Every single mum should not be put in the same basket, doing that robs us of our ability to be empathetic and humane.
