Since there are no pictures nor physical samples, it would be difficult to substantiate the claim. It would be difficult for the proti3ns produced by the genetic expressions of th3 DNA of one species to be compatible with another. It's more likely to a congenital anomaly, with some obviously misshapen features, and incompatible with life. ijustdey: 2 Likes |
Family / Re: Will You Take Your Wife Back If She Cheats On You? by drphantom: 8:30pm On Jul 27, 2023 |
#mythoughts. My opinion on this is in no way legitimizing men cheating. It's an explanation for men finding forgiving infidelity more difficult. And even though it's likely to be controversial and unpopular, both anecdotal evidence and sociological studies bear it out. Men and women cheat for different reasons. For a man, tyoically he can love 1 woman but be sexually attracted to many others whom ironically he does not love. Sex is disconnected from intimacy. For a woman, sex is typically connected to her emotions so her feelings are involved before she gives her body. Sex for her is connected to intimacy. (There is however a relatively modern phenomenon in which women deliberately work against their natural nurturing tendencies and chose the same promiscuous tendencies as men. Unfortunately, most women later regret this when cognitive dissonance I.e. the psychological implications of deliberately working against your natural tendencies, catch up with them later in life, but that is another story) Back to the present thought... Both know this instinctively. So when a man cheats its not necessarily because his feelings for his wife is diminished. When a woman cheats is is largely because her feelings for her husband have diminished. So the implications of a woman cheating is all the more difficult for a man to tolerate. Ironically, women are better at hiding extramarital affairs than men and in some societies, statistically speaking, women cheat more but men are caught more making it seem like men cheat more. Wome who cheat regularly typically keep it a secret. Men who cheat regularly typically brag about it to at least 1 person. The reason is clear. For the woman it's a out satisfying a need for an emotional connection. It's solely about her. For the man, it's a conquest and there is no point to a conquest is nobody knows. These are very general statements but hold true for the majority. This is also not a justification for cheating for either party. Marriage is a commitment that both sides must do their best to honour. skultrick: 2 Likes 1 Share |
Computers / Re: Laptop Bag With USB Port: I Want To Import This. Will It Sell In Nigeria? by drphantom: 7:55pm On Jun 29, 2023 |
Personally, I would advise that you try to find something more innovative with a better unique selling point and value proposition to import and sell. There are many of these already in the market. "What makes this one different?" is the question potential buyers will ask themselves. I have 3 of these myself. Neither are they new. It's old tech. I got my first one over 5 years ago. You could try underselling the current market but price wars often lead to severely reduced margins for all sellers so I don't recommend it. I suggest a different approach: try to find what people NEED right now. Work from there and your potential for success is higher. HanisahZuwy: |

It's funny you think 24 litres (NGN 12000 @ roughly N500 per litre) will get you from Abuja to Benin. In a good (not rickety) and well maintained 2010 Corolla with combined highway and city driving fuel consumption rate of 7 L per 100km, getting to your destination distance of around 450 km with no other cars on thr road is a pipe dream. slawomir: |

Wodu89: Everyone that I know that has put forward your argue (which I am not debating ) has also failed to put forward a better alternative. The private individual you mention who put up a refinery in 5 years is hogwash for me because he did it by for 'round-tripping' and it is yet to solve the problem. Building refineries is a medium to long term solution for an immediate problem we have. A new government just came in and you propose they ONLY take a long term approach to solve a problem which must be resolved in the short term? How does that work? |

Nairaland / General / Are We Being Honest Or Hypocritical With Ourselves On This Fuel Subsidy Issue? # by drphantom: 10:10am On Jun 03, 2023 |
I heard and seen a lot of divergent views of the subdisy removal, it's timing and how Tinubu's government should have done it. As someone that has been advocating for its removal since I discovered how we were subsidizing our neighbors petrol and how we as a people were being scammed to thr tune of trillions of naira on this matter, it was an inevitable and uncomfortable path we had to take. From Cameroon to Cotonou, Nigerian petrol that had already been partly paid for by successive governments was still being resold to in other countries since it was cheaper that other sources. That creates a pro-smuggling scenario which many continued to exploit for their own personal gain to the detriment of regular Nigerian. All th3 gist about how it should have been gradual is irrational IMO so I won't even bother with that aspect. You don't announce the day of arrest of a criminal to him especially bearing in mind the criminal has friends in your office. Will it be a tough time for us? Yes. But only in the short term. But we can handle it....eventually. Some things will change but cest la vie. The harsh reality we have been shielded from for so long is that we have never actually paid full price for petrol. Even before the current global economic down turn, our friends in Ghana were paying NGN 360 per litre. When it went over NGN they screamed blue murder and took to the streets. But even at NGN 500 we are still cheaper than most places. If we truly want progress for our country, the truth is we must change some of our economic and fiscal policies. This is just one of thr ones that have to change. Until we embrace this truth we are not ready change are we are just paying lip service to wanting a Nigeria that is like Dubai etc. Or maybe thisbis what we really are: good talkers who don't realize the implications of what we are saying. Many of us clamored for 24 hour electricity and berated PHCNs ineptidude. Until PHCN gave some areas 22 hours electricity on premium plans and they discovered a measure of the true cost of having electricity all day. Some friend of mine pay over NGN 100,000 per month for electricity on their prepaid meters. For me, it's time for us the embrace some harsh truths in the belief that when we tell ourselves the truth and act from the standpoint of reality, only then can we develop as a nation. Next up? Removing the dual exchange rates we have so that some people can stop borrowing dollars from CBN, selling ro BDCs at black market rate and refunding at CBN rates and call themselves businessmen. (I didnt mention any names o) P.S. The article below from BusinessDay summarizes the rest of my thoughts. Everyone should read it to understand how we have been doing big brother to our detriment. https://businessday.ng/energy/article/subsidy-removal-spoils-west-africas-stolen-petrol-market/

Why is this news? I was going to comment that this is normal practice in the industry (and I'm just an observer) but I see that better informed people have already done so in the comments before mine. His adamant negative stance onnanything that has to do with government shows both his bias and, unfortunately, his ignorance. It pains we that we continue to condition ourselves to see only bad and evil about our great country. Do we not see how that is poisonous to our psyche and infact limits OUR own potential and not our country's? A good man, our of the goodness of his heart, brings out good thing. A fool, does the same. Let's stop adding rat poison to our own garri. P.S. This is by no means to say we are perfect as a nation. We are not. But neither is any nation. Everybody has their problems. Even the US, is currently battling how to fund the government budget. The biggest difference between us and them is that for the most part, they do not shoot themselves in the foot by disparaging their OWN country. . It's what TheDemola: |
Family / Re: Women Are Not Divorcing Men In Nigeria Enough! - Vash Offo by drphantom: 5:21pm On May 24, 2023 |
The original author of this piece is being shortsighted and parochial. When there are individual problems that warrant a divorce, by all means go for it if it will help you. But to make a general call for an increase in divorce rates to go up is confirmation that people either don't learn the lesson for history or are not able to see logical connections. I'm too tired to help the person beyond saying she should go and research the effect of increqsijg divorce rates on communities and subsequent generations. Black America is a good example of this experiment. I'm going to bed. I no get energy today.What rubbish. nlfpmod: 4 Likes |
Properties / Re: The Act That Inspires Me In My New Street In Calabar (photos) by drphantom: 6:08am On May 24, 2023 |
I learnt a long time ago to NEVER pass judgment on the spending habits and practices of someone I see externally to be doing better than me. We often expect these people to be financially better off but the reality is that we are simply not in their shoes. Live and let live. Solve your own problems and don't expect someone else to do it for you. If some else does, consider it a blessing and appreciate as such. It is not a right. We are not there to see that rich man or rich relative service loans and obligations we don't know about. We are not there to know how many other people have come to them for financial assistance that week alone. We don't know what their take home is at the end of the day after helping other people we don't know about. What ever the case may be, how they choose to live their life and spend their money is NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. To think otherwise is, in reality, to have an entitlement mentality over another man's property. Ironically, if this was Lagos and th3 state government decides one day to enforce the law against digging borehole, will the community come and help him pay the fine or address the matter in court? We can be so hypocritical without realizing it Chifriend: 2 Likes |

justyhere: Simple. Studies show happy couples are LESS likely to be all over social media about heir relationship. The major fuel for people flooding social media with their relationship post is thr need for external validation and subconscious insecurities.

For your CV, I suggest perfecting your LinkedIn profile then downloading your profile as a CV ( you will find that feature under your profile). That way you have a generic CV you can tailor to specific jobs when applying for them. Finally, you can pay for LinkedIn optimisation and a CV review.
