This is the kind of friends I want to have.

Are you this kind of friend?

Useless creature, indeed future is female

You guys must all do this. How many people call out the male gender when we read all those terrible news on the front page? Is there ever a day news of men scamming, raping and killing people don't pop up? But once it involves a lady, all of you remember gender. Sometimes I wonder if sexism takes away one's sense of reasoning.

simplesearch:
Nice you found a way around your difference with your wife, but how do you hope to make it up with God after death if you discover he truly exist and there is no hope of amendment. You have a great character, but how do you feel knowing the child you love deny ever having a father just because he/she wasn't privileged to grow up to know you before you passed away, or you went to a war front and came back after many prolonged years?

Nice speech bro... but you quoted the wrong comment.

JBArokonkwo1:
I am an atheist. My wife is a christian. We don't have any issues with it. I don't disturb her religious practices. She uses my car to go to church and if I have somewhere going,I use train or go by bus. Sometimes I go to work at Birmingham and I have to use train if she's using my car.
I don't discuss religion because it's of no use to me. She invited me for her programs and I sometimes attend. It doesn't change my beliefs. It makes her happy when I attend. I do it because I love her and want her to be happy. No need grandstanding.
She respects my indifference.

I'll marry her over and over again!


Religion traps u...love liberates u.

Peace !

Nigerian men need to read this over and over again!

While Beyoncé, Blue Ivy & WizKid win Best Music Video For “Brown Skin Girl”. Literally the award belongs to Beyonce not Wizkid directly.

You're contradicting yourself. You mentioned the people that won the award and then went on to undo the mentioning and gave it one person. Funny you even used the word 'literally'. It was a collabo and just like any other collabo, the award goes to the artists involved. It has always been like that. The same thing happened when Beyonce did the Baby Boy track with Sean Paul. They both got awarded for the song. We don't have to change this because a Nigerian artist is the involved.

not all reptiles are and this baby python pose no threat until fulllllly grown

I know. Not all reptiles are beautiful too. So generally, they are beautiful and dangerous.

Yewandequeen:
dangerous? Na

Reptiles are not dangerous?

Nice! Reptiles are just beautiful..... and dangerous.

News from Nigeria are not always easy to understand. The first two paragraphs contradict each other. The first said it was an order while the second called it an advice.

SegFault:
You haven't even gotten the full story and your BP is already rising, Nigerians I can bet that if op really has the book the next page will instruct the child on what to do next, I can't see the use of the genitals in the passage brother. My mom always tells my little brother, if anybody touch your penis or buttocks tell me, straight don't go beating around the bush, children don't understand idioms and what not.

Which other genitals are you waiting to see when the passage clearly describes a hand job using the expression "private part"? Anyway, I'm not even interested in the words as kids shouldn't be afraid to call body parts by thier names. I'm talking about the story itself; two full pages describing a sex scene without hitting the point is now how to communicate with kids, dude. Some won't even read up the last line on the first page while others will find it hard to link the actions with reactions when the story is elongated. Your mum went straight to the point for a reason.

I've done my research (which is what I expected you, non-Nigerian with no BP, to do), and the book was written by a psychologist to share his personal experience and to promote his conversion theories. It's not for sex education and definitely not a children's storybook.

SegFault:
It's called sex education, if you like don't teach your children about it, e go do you for eye.

So why not just put some "nice father and son porn" for them and save yourself the time? The book is either fake or not targeted at kids. And if by chance it's targeted at kids, then there's no reason not to criticise it.

Read that story again and tell which part exactly contains the education. Contents meant for kids are done in such a way that the message is gotten at a glance and not deciphered or prolonged. You think this is sex education cause, as an adult, you're deciphering that it's aimed at showing the kids how the predators work. But kids don't decipher things that way. All there'll see up there is some fascinating way good uncles show love.

There's a reason why come contents are rated. Sex education doesn't mean writing explicit errotic stories about incestuous and paedophiliac sex. Like I said, ask the OP to show you the cover page so that you'd see the book's name, author's name and the publisher. Wouldn't that be the right thing to do if he was as concerned as he claims? At least, it'll help you buy the book for your kids' sex education.

You people will believe anything. No one cared to ask the name of the book, the author, the cover page, etc. You just believe that someone would just wake up and publish a book full explicit incestuous and paedophiliac stories for kids, and then a school would decide to be using it for thier pupils while the parents do nothing.

Note: This book is either fake or not targeted at kids. And for those calling it sex education, ya'll need to learn how to effectively communicate with kids who don't have the brain capacity to infer/decipher.

OP, you created your account today and your first topic is already on FP. That's a grand entry.

Mrshape:
I have done causes in Education.
I can say confidently I am a qualified and certified teacher.
To the issue raised why my student said the answer is 2 is because 2/2 is equals to 1.
That is a rule they where taught in open sentence one how to check the accuracy of the solution they get to an equation.

Mathematics is very delicate teachers should not teach wrong things. That equation is easy to explain to the children that x can be any number but not zero.
I can't see a logical reason why she should chose 1 as the answer.
Can you u?
If you can, may I learn from you?

Ask your student why he/she picked 2 and not 3, 4 or 5 which still conforms to the logic. You really need to know if he/she understands it could be any number other than 0 or just believes x/x = 1 implies x = 2. If he/she understands the real logic behind his/her answer, that's really great though not necessarily a yardstick to measure every other student. But if he/she thinks it's just 2, then you'll find yourself explaining what might end up leading the kid into more confusion.

1 is not necessarily a better answer than 2, it is just a consensus . A primary one student who can't supply such answers as "all values <> 0" needs to provide a figure. They need to be able to compare notes with each other even when there's no adult to explain why all the answers are right. This is what led to the consensus and many others like it. The teachers aren't necessarily teaching the wrong thing cause 1 is also an acceptable answer. They are only scoping thier work. And like I explained in my first post with an example, this can be found in some other Mathematics topics even in secondary schools as well as in other subjects. There are rules that disappear as we progress.

I don't know it you still remember when you were in primary one. Such an answer as any "number other than zero" which needs to be associated with the specific case where the numerator and the denominator are the same variable is well above their level.

Sir, did you study Mathematics Education or Industrial Mathematics/any other maths related course? If it's the later, then it makes sense why you find this strange. Understanding Mathematics cause one is an engineer is different from knowing the rudiments of teaching in general.

Scoping in education is not as easy as most people think. Yes, it's easy to say, "in primary one, I'll teach plus. In primary two, I'll teach minus. In primary three, I'll teach multiplication". The problem arises when plus has some subsections that that your primary one students won't understand. Your first line of thought would be to leave out those subsections, but it's not always that straightforward. Sometimes, you need to make temporary rules as walls that help you not to deviate from your scope till your students are ready. x/x = 1 is one of those temporary confinements.

There are some rules we give to kids to make things easier for them till they're ready to fully grasp the more complex ones. In English language, we tell them it's wrong to start a sentence with the word "and" or "but" not because it's always wrong but we because we need to shield the them from the complexity of knowing when it's allowed and when it's not. We tell kids that the absolute value of a number is that number with a positive sign. So the absolute value of -10 is 10. But is a number's distance from zero on the number line always equal to that number with a positive sign? Again, this is just to introduce them to the concept. There are many others, even in secondary schools. Students always outgrow them at certain levels. But they help to keep things in order.

The question here is, why did your student pick 2 as the answer? Did he/she pick two cause he knows any number not equal to zero would be correct or cause he simply forgot what the teacher said in class? If he forgot and the teacher doesn't fail him, he'll probably think the answer is always 2 and therefore wouldn't be on the same page as his fellow students when it's time to transition into a higher level.

#MyOpinion

Your name, your signature, your comments, etc. are all forceful. Almost too desperate to sell an idea. Your contributions in the male dominated auto section didn't make it any easier to believe you. Are you really Igbo? Are you really a woman? Are you really new here?

Whichever way, welcome to the thread, ma.

awulio:
Firstly Every American parent I’ve ever met has complained about their kids. Every Nigerian child that i knew that went to nigeria came back a better person. 90% of American kids believe they don’t need to respect anyone. I don’t care about greetings and all those things but for a 12 year old or 5 years old to be telling their parents shut up or Bleep you. There’s a problem. Even CEO in America prefer to hire foreigners not because they cheaper but they say foreigners carry themselves with respect and respect their job. Imagine a worker telling their boss they don’t want to do the job the boss told them to do because they don’t feel like it. Worked and schooled here. Most managers complain of American employees, most parents complain of their American raised children. If 70 % or 80% of parents or managers say they prefer foreign trained people then you should know there’s a problem with the system here.

I do know how you arrived at that percentage but I guess we have to stick with our individual experiences then cause here in Canada, the reverse is the case. You'll have to be really good to get the job before those with local experience. We have Africans (and Asians) who moved here and decided to keep looking for ways to game the system while we also have the serious ones. So foreigners don't get any preferential treatment. As for the kids, many can't speak their Nigerian languages or even understand the culture (that's probably what a typical Nigerian will define as not turning out well) but these kids aren't any less serious with thier lives. They have thier goals/ambitions and they work towards them just like anyone else. It's okay to want your kid to appreciate your culture but that doesn't mean those who don't are bad.

MejiLoyon:
The future is female

You had a three and you're angry she got pregnant. So he's supposed to shoot akamu in you and when it gets to the woman's turn he should release gulder. How these people think baffles me

Why not criticise her and leave her gender out of it? How many people call out the male gender when we see news of men kidnapping and raping their victims like the ones that graced the front page recently? Why can't you guys see the bias in your ways?

eduj:
shawarma, Uber, recharge cards. All through that exchange she was asking,asking and asking-she never showed any intention to give.And when the op came forward,she resorted to emotional blackmail and bulshitting.
Your man is down, do you need an Uber to come over to cheer him up? He is broke and she actually asked for a snack of close to 1k- who does that?
Biko op, you did the right thing, she isn't matured enough for a meaningful relationship and focus on your hustle, Jehovah will see you through

Ok... Not sure I read all that. I only commented based on the chat I saw.

WoundedLamb:
I think you are looking at the chat alone. In that case, I'd partially agree with this. Except there were other things that led to the OP's reaction, telling her how she doesn't care about you cause she asked for some call credit makes it look like it's a crime for people to ask their partners for stuff. But then again, the OP's reaction shows the request came at the wrong time cause he was (maybe still is, lol) broke and that was probably the source of his anger. Of course, I wouldn't have responded that. I would have told her I didn't have and then let her reaction détermine the next line of action.

However, from the chat, you can tell it was an over the counter kind of relationship. The way they "talked" to each other shows the two were in for benefits and nothing more.

I agree with you. I'm also inclined to believe the girl was there for the money. LikevI said, I just feel "I don't have" would have gone a long way to make her show her true colours with nothing to hide under instead of the emotional outburst. But then, people react differently to things.

Qatar2022:
So with what you read you don't see selfishness on the girl part? I don't really understand how some of you comprehend atimes

AwesomeStormy00:
I am sorry i disagree with you on this one, if a guy is telling his girlfriend what he is going through he is telling her because he wants emotional support, a shoulder to cry on, someone to listen to him and gives him moral supoort.

Personally in my opinion this girl show no emotions ni sympathy not even empathy to her boyfriend. All she wanted is food, then £££, then topup credit, then money for uber etc. She is a parasites and he is the host to feed on. What i dont understand is are all Nigerians girls like this ni? If they are then they are worst than prostitute.

Op, no love here having said that i hope.naija still get honest girls out there with genuine love.if not then the future is bleak.

You guys probably missed my point. I'm not defending the girl. I'm also inclined to believe she was there for the money (like I acknowledged in my post). I'm only saying the OP didn't give her the chance to expose herself. OP's reaction gave her a soft landing. I just feel "I don't have" would have gone a long way to make her show her true colours with nothing to hide under instead of the emotional outburst. Saying "I don't have" and waiting for her to fall into his net would have made the case an open-and-close one. But moving to attack her cause she made a request (strictly going by the chat) only gave her something to hold on to. Personally, I'd have been more logical that emotional in this case. But it would seem the OP was already set to end things.

Franklinshaddy:
This is brainless Opinion

Learn to share your thoughts without insulting people.

Lol... this escalated too quickly and that's probably what you get when you fill your head with the things NL boys say onhere to the point that you make a mountain out of everything (not saying that's OP's case).

Asking for something is not entitlement mentality. Anybody can ask for anything including your male friends. Entitlement mentality is when she starts to misbehave simply cause she didn't get what she asked for; that's when you say she's feeling entitled. The lady might have the so called entitlement but you didn't give her the chance to expose herself. You sped into accusing her of not caring about you and thereby insinuating she's a gold digger. Perhaps this was the last straw that broke your camel's back cause it was almost as if you were waiting for an opportunity to call her out. I don't know how you were expecting her to take it but only a few people would take that without feeling offended. Now, there's no telling how she would have reacted if you had just said you didn't have. Next time, just say you don't have.

**Edited**
Please, this was strictly based on the chat. That's the only part that shows the two sides.

I really don't know what you guys stand to gain from all these unnecessary conspiracy theories and childish fear-mongering. Why won't you call it a dark reason when you didn't even listen to the full speech to have a slight idea what he was talking about? A series of meaningless cut-and-join videos is what you want to feed your followers?

The fact that you (or whosoever that did that video) cut the clip from the first day of Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts’ confirmation hearing on Sep. 12, 2005 where Biden was arguing against narrow judgement using scenarios that can't be judged narrowly as examples and merged it with his unrelated Wednesday video where he was explaining how the government will aid the automotive industry by subsidising chips manufacturing shows you're either really troubled (mentally) or deliberately spreading absurdities for the fun of it.

For those interested in knowing what the president was saying, he said he would seek $37 billion in funding for legislation to supercharge chip manufacturing in the United States as a shortfall of semiconductors has forced U.S. automakers and other manufacturers to cut production. In other words, the auto industry might get federal relief from the shortage of semiconductor chips that has crippled vehicle production over the past several weeks.

This is being celebrated in the US and someone somewhere in Africa is doing what they know how to do best.

thegazettengr:
The Federal Government says an emergency care and ambulance service is expected to be implemented throughout the world.

During a retreat organised by the House of Representatives Committee on Healthcare Facilities on the amendment of the 2014 National Health Act, the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, revealed this.

The Nigerian government wants to implement an emergency healthcare system "throughout the world"?

I'm sure I'm the one not understanding. Please, explain.

People like what they like. Those who like him like him.
