Romance › Re: Why Do Handsome Guys End Up With Less Attractive Women? by Dyonne: 5:43pm On Apr 15, 2020

jaxxy:
Fine guys don't hussle for babes that much they go for the ones arround their orbit. Fine gals wait for guys to hussle them sadly fine boys are preoccupied with other ladys attention to notice them. Average gals don't mind hussling for the fine guy so they are mostly in his orbit and he falls for them for more than just beauty cos he's fine and the average gals showcase more than just beauty which shes average in bt he likes.

In other words he goes for the gals that are not proud and have more than just beauty. Beauty isn't his top priority.

What cold drink should I ask the bar man to get you?

You saved me a lot of typing.

Romance › Re: My Tinder Experience by Dyonne: 5:30pm On Apr 15, 2020

A girl doesn't have to do a thing to attract attention from randy guys.
All she needs to do is maintain a pulse.

That's the reason you have all those types there. They know boys will always be there.

If attention were scarce, then most would develop themselves to be more desirable.

Both can work, both can fail.

Love is assured from your end but what is the other person's disposition towards you?

Tell me that and I'll tell you which is better.

Politics › Negotiating With Terrorists: Myth Debunked by Dyonne(op): 5:13pm On Apr 14, 2020

TL-DR: Unlike what your Hollywood movies want you to believe, Governments do negotiate with terrorists depending on the situation.

“We do not negotiate with terrorists” is a line that is ubiquitously regurgitated in governmental rhetoric.
In and out of Nairaland, I continually hear this phrase "government doesn't negotiate with terrorists".

Unfortunately this comes from watching too many movies and does not fully comply with the reality of the world.

The argument against negotiating with terrorists is simple: Democracies must never give in to violence, and terrorists must never be rewarded for using it. Negotiations give legitimacy to terrorists and their methods and undermine actors who have pursued political change through peaceful means.

In practice, it is not uncommon for democratic governments to negotiate with terrorist groups. In 2014, countries such as France and Spain paid millions of euros in ransom to bring home journalists and aid workers captured by the Islamic State in Syria. In response to the same dilemma, the governments of the UK and US refused to make concessions, arguably leading to a number of high-profile hostage killings.

Closer to home, the amnesty agreement for militants can be called a negotiation, as well as giving them security contracts. Even more recently, the current administration has given what many have seen as concessions to Boko Haram.

Why Governments Negotiate With Terrorists

Terrorism itself can never be systemically eradicated. The phrase ‘war on terror’ seems like an oxymoron. Tactics cannot be defeated, even if those who make use of them can be. Bringing the enemy into the establishment is often a political and moral gamble. However, the potential dividends for peace and stability are significant.

Secondly, dialogue and engagement with terrorist movement should not be seen as concessions to the enemy. They do not bestow legitimacy or show weakness, they merely acknowledge existence and exhibit a pragmatic will to end conflict, putting ideology and doctrine aside. Rarely is dialogue ruled out during inter-state conflict, so why should asymmetric conflicts be treated as an aberration to the norms of warfare?

It is deleterious to disparage the importance of dialogue in dealing with terrorist threats. So why do governments continue to do so? Maybe because representative democracies encourage the adoption of clear Manichean policies and world views - us vs them? Or is it linked to a short term memory when it comes to conflict resolution? Are decision makers simply unaware of historical examples? Countless studies of successful counter-terrorism campaigns show that mixed method approaches offer the highest chances of success, especially in conflicts involving democracies. Dialogue is rarely altogether absent from this mix.

Summary:

Unlike what your Hollywood movies want you to believe, Governments do negotiate with terrorists depending on the situation.

Romance › Re: Is Nairaland Really A Faceless Forum? by Dyonne(op): 11:29am On Apr 12, 2020

Ladylite:
You are a learner... Just pray you don't meet the real guys here. I know a moniker here who actually scammed nairalanders of almost 15million naira.

We went to the bank and they said the account number of the person was a mobile account, the phone number was an international number.

It is a faceless forum... Unless you are a novice then you expose yourself.

It's not a faceless forum. I acknowledged that people are making money here legitimately and otherwise.

As long as it's possible to know people's identity here, it's not faceless.

Romance › Is Nairaland Really A Faceless Forum? by Dyonne(op): 11:07am On Apr 12, 2020

The answer is no!

We have a habit of repeating catchphrases just because they sound clever or technical. Most dont even consider, they just repeat or put some kind of local variation on the thing.

Back to topic, I cringe whenever I see someone type "this is a faceless forum" (no its not). Usually this happens when two children are hurling insults at each other grin

A faceless forum by definition guarantees your anonymity.

Why it's not a Faceless Forum

On Nairaland, some of you are busy doking yourselves (or at least desperately trying to) leading to the nauseating boy vs girl threads everywhere.
Some people are making money here legitimately and otherwise.
Emails and phone numbers are exchanged and dropped here.
People upload their pics on their profile, some even put their pictures on threads.
There are nairaland parties.

Think about that the next time your fingers reach to type the words faceless forum.

Romance › Re: [VIDEO] Check Out What I Did To A Thief That Stole From A Pretty Girl by Dyonne: 12:16am On Apr 11, 2020

babtaima:
Thanks bro.. i saw your first message but looks like you've modified it... couldn't reply early because i was eating dinner but I'm going to give you a good reply to the old comment so that when you probably watch it again you'll grasp the whole story and concept + for other people that might have similar questions
So it wasn't a phone he snatched at first.. it was her drink.. he didn't even let her drink it... believe me 2 minutes is like the shortest time i could use to really create that film-like aesthetic and suspense to the story.. anything less would've left holes and kill that vibe the viewer is supposed to get... if you noticed the first 30 secs peaks your curiosity.. you want to know what's going to happen and how we deal with the thief... even when i was doing those powermoves when i first confronted the thief without getting physical (Needed to make it PG-friendly + Say no to jungle justice) was to still peak your curiosity while adding some comic relief to it and showing my own skills of course

Now you'll notice that the screen went black and it was a whole different setup in an uncompleted building.. This is where the whole composure changes.. you'll notice things got serious and i had to prove myself if I'm ever going to defeat this criminal.. The face off camera switch between my eyes and his was to give off that false impression that something physical/violent was going to happen... Now this is where everything gets interesting... Also i tried to make the criminal hard to give up that's why you saw him continuing his ride with only one wheel till he gave up.... I always try to be as original as possible with any body of work I'm creating...

Keep up the good work.

Its funny how an arrangement of letters can mean different things depending on language and culture.

I'm sure if I spell it out here, it will get filtered grin

I saw this when I went to get groceries. I've seen other funny signs before.

Pic 1 The Sign

Pic 2 Wide View of the Mall
Pic 3 Social distancing at LCBO where people line up outside to buy alcohol (deemed an essential requirement grin

). The only thing that changed about LCBO is that they now close by 6pm instead of 9pm.
Pic 4 Social distancing outside a bank while people wait to go in. Theres also social distancing inside the bank but I couldn't take pictures.

My GUY no Tailor dey here to patch Clothes.
CLOTHES are extremely cheap.
No ONE fixes Laptops here.
No one Panel beats cars here. DAMAGED parts are changed.
The cost of fixing those stuffs can be more expensive than purchasing newer ones.
No TRADITIONAL LEADERS here ooo.
Nobody calls for meetings here except Diaspora Meetings that's if you are interested.
PEOPLE only Work here.
Always Working.
NIGERIA needs FACTORIES and not too many churches and mosques.
PEOPLE like DANGOTE, INNOSON, ELUMELU, JIM OVIA, BUA, etc deserve GCFR.

In Fact, many BARBING CLIPPERS are cheaper than actually going to the BARBING saloon to cut your hair.
I bought a Clipper here for $25 USD, meanwhile a BARBING Salon close to me charges $20 USD for shaving, then $30 USD for Hair cutting itself.
OYIBO no get TIME for GOSSIP.
SOMETIMES, I wonder if they gossip at all.

Agree with everything you said apart from the gossip part.
They gossip like normal people. It just depends on their personality. At work I thought so too until my friend started telling me things they were discussing in the lunch room. I weak.

Christianity Etc › Re: "His Name Is Not Jesus" - Daddy Freeze Condemns The Name 'Jesus' by Dyonne: 4:51am On Apr 09, 2020

Seun:
Daddy Freeze is absolutely right that the original name of Jesus is 'Yeshua' or 'Joshua'. The 'controversy' here is about whether or not the translated versions of this name in other languages, such as Ιησούς (Greek), Jesus (English), Jesu(Yoruba), Jizọs(Igbo), Yesu(Hausa), and Isa(Arabic) are as potent against demons, and for causing prayers to be instantly answered, as his original Jewish name, 'Yeshua' or 'Joshua'.

One could argue that there is no magic in any of the names: they've all been used against ISIS and Boko Haram and none of them worked.

Simply put. grin

New Benin to Asaba can never be #200. #700 and above is more like it.

If you take a commercial bus from Asaba to Warri, you will drive through Benin for close to an hour.
