how does Ronaldo earns more than Messi (weekly).. when Messi is the highest paid player in the world... Do some research before you copy and paste

is it location based??

I'm interested in the MOD ops but personally I think you should have gone for originality in your design.. something unique. this one looks a lot like nairaland

which software is this??

Ole is on the wheel ,

Why am I even laughing, My team's situation is no better. Took out Valverde only to bring in another low-tier manager to manage one of football's most important clubs.

There are only two teams in the world today - Liverpool and others - This pains me so much, but it's true.

you don't expect instant success from a coach that was sign just under a week ago. In Klopp first season in charge of Liverpool, they players burned out after December because of his football style, now they are reaping the reward after 4 years.

just an observation... you have a prior knowledge of an incoming attack hours before it happens and you decide you leave your equipments behind?? who would do that. sometimes the way you people just believe news ehn

godlyguy:

UAE is a homogeneous country belonging to only one ethnicity. It has a large landmass that's why there's different cities .Dubai metropolis is the same size or larger than the entire Akwa ibom. Los Angeles Metro is about 3 times larger than Akwa ibom. Singapore is a city state nation the size of Uyo . Rwanda is a homogeneous nation just a little larger than Akwa ibom. Scottish,Lithuanian,Irish,Swedes,etc are Ethnic European nations just like Calabarians,Igbolanders,Yorubalanders,Zulu,Tswana land (Botswana) ,Ashanti,etc are African ethnic nation who were enslaved, colonized and forcefully merged . Nigeria is a fictitious country put together by colonial powers . I do not advocate secession, but I think all ethnic nations should be autonomous and have autonomy and control of their resources ,economy and development. They can pay about 5 percent tax to the federal government. All progressive and developed nations practice true federalism(autonomy for all states or ethnic nations).Oil will be irrelevant soon ,but there are other numerous valuable resources across the entire Calabar. Even so ,oil revenue is not needed to build an organized society.
I don't care about artificial states like akwa ibom cross river, Annang Itai state or Oron and Eket Atlantic state or Mangrove state . Efik,Oron,Ibibio,Annag ,Ekid are one and the name of land and people will be Calabar /Calabrians or whatver is later decided ,but for now Calabar because that's already popular and more marketable.
I was only being kind to you by replying . This God's plan which will be a reality by 2040 . Just pray you live to see then. I'll really appreciate if you do not comment ,just pass if our reasoning don't align. It will be beneficial to you if you refrain from being an agent of sabotage . If this method isn't implemented , the results will always be there for everyone to see.

You're advocating for all ethnic nation to be autonomous yet you want to merge Calabar with Akwa Ibom... don't know which is funnier, you contradicting yourself or the ending paragraph of your write up. Akwa Ibom will rise to greatness as a people... you don't need your master plan or whatever contraception you have there. we have an international airport, foreign investors are coming in, industries are coming up... we'll soon have our deep seaport by God's grace and mercy... We gain nothing from your plan. Calabar you want us to be referred as which is very insulting are the one to gain if they align with us. Akwa Ibom is an "ethnicity" ... eventhough we have different ethniv groups we've binded together to achieve a common goal...

Your comment and a few others were irritating ,but I would forgive and kindly advise you do some soul searching and retract your comment and myopic reasoning.
I'm sure your town does not produce a drop of oil. I've observed those whose towns produce the oil are even more in support of this progressive method ,moreover ,oil revenue is not needed to develop a place. There are numerous valuable resources in Calabar apart from oil. I conceived this vision in my mind ,plus a few other measures currently being undertaken to foster Unity and progress. All accomplishments begin with a single mind . This has nothing to do with the government or the colonial and military creations Akwa ibom,Cross river,South south or Biafra. I believe all ethnic nations in Nigeria and Africa should be autonomous and have control of their resources ,economy ,and development. With that,it won't matter where the president is from.I don't mind if the entire west Africa is one country with all the autonomous ethnic nations as states .

The ethnicity or ethnic nation (Efik,Oron,Ibibio,Annang,Ekid) has no official name ,people call it Calabar,Akwacross,or Efik/ibibio. I think the name CALABAR/CALABARIANS is more marketable and should be adopted as the official name of land and people and that's what I call it now and hope to propagate this method . I often add the term "Akwacross " in my writings to help people comprehend for now .
I have sponsored 4 professional linguist to come up with an official Calabarian language which will be mostly based on Ibibio , Efik and some words from Oron and Annang which will be satisfactory to all the communities . After that ,I'll meet ,present and discuss this with the traditional and political leaders ,and a worldwide press conference will be called to establish this as official. We need to unite and forge a common front to greatness.
We must discard ignorant ,myopic,divisive and backward reasoning .
Calabar (Akwacross) currently generates $16 Billion dollars per year but ends up receiving $50 million dollars per month or $500 million dollars per year because the money is confiscated by Nigeria and distributed to all the states. If you think that's fair then I question your sanity. All progressive nations on earth practice True federalism (Autonomy for all states or ethnic nations). The only way we can achieve greatness this is through Unity and forging a common front ,not through division and myopia.

Calabar/Calabarian is more marketable? marketable to who??.. who says Akwa Ibom can't be marketable?? Do you know what we as a people have done and passed through for people to start recognizing us as ourselves. Gone are those days when you tell people I'm from Akwa Ibom and they think Calabar. Why can't there be Cross River and Akwa Ibom. each existing in their own right like we have in the UAE. I never heard of Abu Dhabi fighting to convert Dubai to theirselves. Each region was allowed to develop at their own pace. We don't want AkwaCross or your master plan. We're Akwa Ibomites. You're Cross Riverian and our brother. Let's not invade each other's autonomy

good development but eco-friendly?? I doubt. the only thing eco-friendly about the house is the planting of trees and the garden. All the director is saying is technical gibberish.

mmsen:
The current CRS government is an absolute disgrace, the worst that I've seen, that does not negate the ineffectiveness of government in AKS.

Dealing with refuse isn't "magic", it's an essential service. The fact that you used such words and are intent on making excuses for them shows me where you mind is.

I'm not making excuses. like for example where I am living at the moment there's a waste disposal can provided by the government but you still see people dumping refuse on the ground next to the can... how do you blame the government for that. there are cans in the market although not nearly enough. the market authority charges levy but they can use such revenue to support the government in such area??... that's why I said we as a people need to chip in every now and then to help wherever we can

mmsen:
AKS can barely deal with refuse under this administration and the LGAs are as useless as ever.

Do you want to talk about the present day Cross Riverian government??
No government can work magic... you can't be satisfied with everything the government does.. this is the problem we have in Nigeria. Please how many times have you reported indecent disposal of refuse to your Local Government authority or how many times do you do sanitation in your immediate environment. We can't keep waiting for the government to do everything. We as the people are the government without us everything has no meaning

Azmanaty:
There is nothing like South south. Take that to the Bank

Next time you consider yourself a Nigerian... really reflect if you're truly one??

Reference:
Don't be narrow minded. You do. They have vast deposits of solid mineral resources, host one of the largest cement factories in Nigeria and steel foundaries in the EPZ. In addition they have a greater bio-diversity, better terra forma and better climatic conditions for agriculture and forestry industries and finally they have vastly superior natural tourism sites.

What they donot have is a natural port and ocean front beaches. I think this developmental marraige proposal model is almost perfect. Wish them the best. Good people, great place to invest. I'm already taking notice.

you comment just shows how little you know of Akwa Ibom... The only difference between Cross River and Akwa Ibom is that one is well known universally but mind you Akwa Ibom can take on Cross River blow for blow in all the criteria you just mention... We're just coming up in terms of exposure that's why attracting and providing enabling environment for foreign investors has been the hallmark of this present Akwa Ibom state government

we don't need Akwa-Cross or whatever y'all are calling it. Akwa Ibom on its own can achieve all these... We're only getting started. imagine renaming Akwa Ibom to Calabar north, south, West like are you alright?? Can't the south south coexist together like the UAE with each region developing at its own pace without the need to encroach on another's autonomy??

Why did US attach from Iraq, is US too weak to launch attach from its soil?
Some of you just come to nairaland to spew trash.

they didn't attack from Iraq... the window of opportunity wasn't that much so launching a drone was USA to Iraq, they would've missed that's opportunity so the drone was launched and controlled from UAE..It's the attack that happened in Iraq

alBHAGDADI:
Verse passage, Jesus was talking to Peter, not you.


Matthew 16:18-19 King James Version (KJV)
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

The passage below speaks of action, not just word of mouth. The action brings immediate result. If the church agrees and says a brother is now an heathen, it becomes so and Heaven agrees too because a certain process is followed prior to that. This doesn't say you should declare that you are great when you are a pauper.

Mathew 18:15-18
Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Matthew 17:20

fellow nairalanders let us also post link to our advice since this is how 2020 wants to be

what of Matthew 16:19 & Matthew 18:18

I feel in years to come, "alright" will be adopted as a correct english grammar

and yet there's no mention of his achievements after the long sermon.... beating around the bush

"more grease to your elbow" is not a wrong English. it's an idiom. It means to praise someone for their achievement like also tasking them to work harder. it's basically the same thing as "more power to your elbow"; the former is informal while the later is formal

this is getting tiring... it's not about the sex. the school don't care about the sex... for a school that base its business model on high morals and religious upbringing, this is a scandal...
1.) if the title of the video that trend was "Chichi Chika sextape". the school would have taken a different approach. for the mere fact that it's say " Babcock student" and has gone viral, the school as any corporate organization has to protect its brand so they did what was best for Babcock.
2.) if she was under duress for the act, it would've been a different case. she is not a victim here, she a willing participant in an illicit affair. I truly sympathize with her. she's a victim just as much as the school but that she trusted someone with such a delicate material is baffling and stupid. to paraphrase Newton's third law - "For every action whether right or wrong, there's a corresponding consequence".

Stop looking at it from the girl's perspective only. there are 4 people involved in this shenanigan: the girl, the guy, whoever leaked it and the school. Look at it also from others perspective before making judgements.

You don’t know what you are talking about! Do you know how many bankers have been exposed for drugs Go and check out the scandals on Wall Street and see that you are a learner. Drugs, orgies and all sorts are present. One even recently killed someone in the Caribbean.

The stocks don’t shift one inch! These are students, equivalent to interns in an institution. So, intern actions like a sex video will affect the stock of the institution? So hilarious!!!

to you it's just sex... to the school it's a scandal.
if you can see the difference and reason objectively you'll understand the school stance

you just said bankers you didn't mention the name of the bank... please after laughing hilariously do a little research on employees of multinational relived of their duties due to scandals

baby124:
If consenting adults in a company have sex and the video is leaked! In a public company it would not affect the stock at all. Except the positions involved are that of a boss and a subordinate, then it would be wrong because of the element of power. Most companies do not expressly prevent employees from having relationships. They only prevent employees within the same department due to a conflict of interest.

Sex is a normal human pleasure seeking activity, which we as adults all enjoy in our various capacities. If victimized during such an act, we should not play holier than thou but instead protect the victim! In this era of secret cameras you could be implicated one day. Or trust the wrong person. Will you want to lose it all because of this indiscretion?

then you don't deal a lot with the stock market. any negative publicity no matter how infinitesimal will affect your stock

studentofTruth:
Imagine!

So, because they haven't been able to get the people who released the video and tagged Babcock to it, the victim of the crime should take the fall? Horrible reasoning!

I have always said it, this country's problem is SYSTEMIC — way too deep. No wonder the police reason and behave the way they do — they represent the abnormal reasoning of the citizens.

What you wrote up there sounds like this:

Police comes to a crime seen and arrest the victim of the crime. Then, they say since they can't find the offenders, the victim should be penalized after all, she's the only one they could find who's associated with the crime.

So you will applaud this?

Nigerians deserve what they are getting!

DYK universally in a murder case the spouse of the deceased or close relatives are the first suspects if no evidence of actual suspects are available?

baby124:
Indeed! They could have protected their brand by acting mature about it. Instead of a trigger happy response. They should have gone after those who leaked the video, all involved. Provide emotional support for the victim and at the worst, distance themselves from the video by making bloggers act responsibly when posting their content. What adults do in their free time and away from school should not be attributed to the school in any way.

did you know if Babcock was a public traded company... their stock would've been on a freefall just because of that headline.
that aside.
the education sector is a very competitive market. the elite and well to do middle class are looking for institutions that will instill good morals and upbringing in their children as they are too busy to sometimes do it themselves.
if Babcock had taken your stance in a country where we both know everybody wants to be seen as clean and without dirt. how do you think it'd have played out in the minds of their students' parents and possible potential clients in the future??
