Ladyhippolyta88: Well, i can read through your inner voice saying "That's not fair!" Yeah, neither is the fact the mean IQ in Ghana is 73 when it's 108 in Singapore. Nature makes the rules, and it couldn't give a remote iota of a Bleep about equality. Rule 1 of growing up: the world is not a fair place, it being unfair doesn't make it untrue. Sure, everyone is biased, all that differs is merely the nature of their bias. To believe yourself unbiased is short-sighted at best and arrogant at worst. NB: I shall be grateful if you can enlighten me about what the law says as regards gender equality. |

OGHENAOGIE:There's an old Korean saying that goes something like this: "You can't spit at a smiling face" Be nice and open-minded. It's often more efficient to try understand the position of others than simply declaring that they're wrong, especially if you're trying to convince others. |

Ladyhippolyta88:well, I just used that to illustrate a point. Society will never be equal because mother nature ordains variance. She makes some people extremely stupid, others ridiculously smart. Some people highly neurotic, others extremely calm. You cannot have equality without sameness, and nature believes in diversity. in the panoply of matters, women are like children, they always try to test boundaries, disrespect you when you don't establish them, get upset when you do, but are secretly grateful that you did. People completely disconnected from reality can't handle this. But you should definitely tell your son this. Not taking aforementioned observations into consideration makes feminism an unfortunate boondoggle. |

Politics / Jonathan's Desperate Attempt To Influence 2015 Election That Failed. by EINSTEINPG: 3:02am On Mar 22, 2018 |
Report: CEO of Trump Campaign Data Firm Told Staff to Use Hacked Emails to Influence Nigerian Election By Ben Mathis-Lilley Mar. 21, 2018 9:37 PM The political consulting/data firm Cambridge Analytica—whose services were employed by the Trump campaign in 2016 and which has long-standing connections to Trump campaign chairman Steve Bannon—has been in the soup in recent days over revelations that it took Facebook data involving 50 million users without authorization and that CEO Alexander Nix and other top officials were caught on tape boasting about their willingness to use bribes, blackmail, and secretly distributed propaganda to win elections. It’s a pretty hot soup, and it’s getting hotter: The Guardian is now reporting that multiple Cambridge Analytica employees say Nix and other executives instructed them to search what they believed to be a file of stolen emails for “incriminating” information about the opponent of a client in the 2015 Nigerian presidential election. The firm was working to secure the re-election of Goodluck Jonathan his race against Muhammadu Buhari, and the Guardian reports that at one point during the campaign Israeli subcontractors brought what appeared to be stolen data involving Buhari to Cambridge Analytica’s offices in London: The Guardian and Observer has been told the Israelis brought a laptop from their office in Tel Aviv and handed employees a USB stick containing what they believed were hacked personal emails. Sources said Nix, who was suspended on Tuesday, and other senior directors told staff to search for incriminating material that could be used to damage opposition candidates, including Buhari. … One member of the campaign team told the Guardian and Observer that the material they believed had been hacked included Buhari’s medical records. “I’m 99% sure of that. Or if they didn’t have his medical records they at least had emails that referred to what was going on.” The Guardian’s piece does not make clear whether any employees followed Nix’s instructions; Jonathan ultimately lost his race. Cambridge Analytica’s parent company “denied taking possession of or using hacked or stolen personal information,” the Guardian writes. To state the obvious, the data firm’s alleged willingness to exploit illegally obtained emails seems like it may have some relevance to a certain other election in which its client (Donald Trump—I’m talking about Donald Trump) benefitted from the distribution of illegally obtained emails. And if you’ll recall, Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos was reportedly told about Russian email “dirt” on Hillary Clinton in April 2016, while one of the Russians involved in the infamous June 2016 meeting with Trump’s top aides—which also involved alleged “dirt” on Clinton—has been accused in the past of orchestrating hacking attacks. Nix, for his part, has admitted that he contacted WikiLeaks in June 2016 to ask if it would share the Clinton-related emails it ultimately released the next month. (To be clear, this would have been after reports of their existence began appearing in the press, and he claims his offer was rejected.) Will any of these suggestive facts ever coalesce into a clear picture of “collusion” or criminal malfeasance? No one knows! And that’s what makes it fun. Source: https:///wY4TQqJGX4?amp=1 |

Business / Re: Investment Inflow Into Nigeria Shrinks By $4.5bn by EINSTEINPG: 10:34am On Dec 22, 2016 |
Sibrah:mitigate: to make (something) less severe, harmful, or painful. Usage: mitigate is sometimes used as an intransitive (followed by against) where militate might be expected. Even though Faulkner used it <some intangible and invisible social force that mitigates against him--William Faulkner> and one critic thinks it should be called an American idiom, it is usually considered a mistake. So based on your intended context; "militating" is the suitable word. NB: to militate against something: to make that thing less likely to happen or succeed. 1 Like |

Investment / Lenders Plan Not To Renew Deals With Nigeria Central Bank. by EINSTEINPG: 9:44pm On Dec 14, 2016 |
Lenders plan not to renew deals with Nigeria central bank Move highlights erosion of confidence in the monetary authority. Several banks will not renew agreements worth billions of dollars with Nigeria’s central bank, highlighting the erosion of confidence in the monetary authority, bankers say. The move, which relates to foreign currency swap agreements between banks and the central bank, risks depleting the country’s dwindling foreign reserves as Nigeria faces a severe dollar shortage, bankers warn. Nigeria’s gross reserves have plummeted by 40 per cent to $24bn since oil prices crashed in mid-2014 as Africa’s top crude producer grapples with its worst economic crisis in decades. The shortage of greenbacks is already choking important sectors of the economy, from airlines to importers of fuel to manufacturers. Godwin Emefiele, central bank governor, has sought to use foreign currency swaps to bolster dollar reserves, swapping large amounts of naira in return for dollars with about six of the country’s 22 banks. But bankers say they have begun refusing to allow the central bank to renew these swaps — most of which expire within the next year — because they have lost confidence in Mr Emefiele’s management of the currency and foreign exchange market. “If you don’t have a clear sense that the central bank has policies in place to keep reserves at a reasonable level, of course you worry about their ability to repay and become more cautious,” said the head of a bank in Lagos. The central bank is holding less than $4bn in foreign currency swaps according to data on its website, which is not large enough to trigger a currency crisis overnight. But bankers and analysts say the decision by banks to reduce their exposure to the central bank highlights broader concerns in the market that has caused investors to virtually stop bringing hard currency into Nigeria. Without the return of foreign capital inflows, they say, Nigeria cannot climb out of recession. A chief complaint among bankers and analysts is that central bank continues to intervene to prop up the value of the naira despite Mr Emefiele announcing in June that monetary authorities would move to a “purely market-driven” currency system. Bankers say the lack of policy credibility in managing the currency raises questions about Nigeria’s ability to provide dollars to banks as a recession deepens. Concern over the wide range and growing amount of central bank liabilities has caused bankers and economists to monitor net dollar reserves as a more accurate gauge of Nigeria’s financial health rather than official gross reserves. Bankers warn that net reserves could be — depending on how liabilities are estimated — significantly less than the $24bn gross reserves, which is equivalent to about five months of imports. “The net reserves level is now a very serious concern because the government has not been able to attract new funding flows to grow its reserves and all we have seen over the past 18 months is a consistent reduction in reserves,” said Dapo Olagunju, treasurer of Access Bank, one of Nigeria’s biggest banks. Mr Emefiele has been asked repeatedly at investor forums and in meetings to state the net reserves level. He has declined to do so, according to investors and bankers who say they have asked him. Asked by the Financial Times last week, Mr Emefiele declined again, but said that the difference between gross and net reserves was “negligible ".
