Hello Guys!
My name is etrange.
I'd want to know, is there anything like part-time schooling in Canada (weekend classes)?
I've always planned to start school once I land but with the way I'm getting unsolicited massages from both recruiters and HR teams requesting for job chats, it seems I'd go straight to work. But then again, I still got my mind on school. How do I combine these?
Note: the jobs are full time. |

Your question is skewed. It's not always about men. The question should be "should people be forced to get married because of pregnancy?". I don't know why our society don't appreciate women.
Back to the topic, I don't think there's any law that mandates a man to marry any woman he impregnates. Elders can only try to encourage that but that's all about it. The law only states that the man must contribute to the baby's upbringing... |

Girls are banging different men; such a way to put it just to make men the victims. They just stay and girls come to bang them. You mistakenly banged? You were falling and your stuff accidentally entered? Ok bro, you're just as senseless as your post. You were running around Asaba banging different girls and the same you are here complaining that girls are banging different men. What were you expecting? Are you not the "men" being banged? Y'all are banging each other but you'll comfortably heap the blame on the females as if you're a log of wood yourself. Davido has said Ifeanyi is his son, you can continue your childish female bashing online. |

Foreign Affairs › Re: How The British Press Reported On Meghan And Harry by etrange: 8:13am On Jan 21, 2020*. Modified: 9:03am On Jan 21, 2020 |
crackkhaus: Surely you must realize that when people don't like you, it really won't matter if you're doing nothing wrong, they would still find a way to make you look bad.
The bias against Meghan was watered by none other but herself. You can see one of the articles you posted called her 'dictatorial', they may not be far from the truth.
I followed the whole ruckus leading up to their wedding in 2018 up until the wedding itself. You should not take my word for it though, you could make some findings on your own regarding just how much she tried to break almost every protocol regarding how the wedding should go. A lot of things were changed/altered just to accommodate her preferences - from the flower choices, to the aisle leading up to the alter that was made wider because it's what she wanted, etc.. There was a lot more which I can't even recall off the top of my head.
Now no one is saying she couldn't have creative control over her own wedding, but when you marry into a monarchy that has a certain way of doing things in keeping with age-long traditions as old as her own ancestors, then she probably should have simmered down a little. She got what she wanted most of the time because the monarchy were happy enough to make Diana's little boy happy, but she took it too far and got used to it. After the wedding, she kept trying to get them to do things her way and most of the time she would get it, but guess what, the British people only resented her for it because she was now effectually implying that their ways of doing things was not good enough for her, her own way was better...it wasn't just an emotional bride trying to make her wedding day perfect anymore, this was a woman who had no respect for the Monarchy and its ways. She confirmed what they already suspected and gave oxygen and water to the bias already working against her. And to make it worse, she was not even that big a celebrity in Hollywood in the first place.
This kind of resentment will obviously make them troll her at every given opportunity...no one holds a grudge more than the British.
If say, a single never divorced well brought-up Beyoncé (still black and American) was the one who married into the royal family, she may even get a softer landing than Meghan. If a Beyoncé DIL wanted the Queen MIL to dance single ladies inside Buckingham Palace, she may have gotten away with it, just because she is a Beyoncé. Get my point?
Meghan already had everything working against her from the start - previous failed marriage, dysfunctional family set-up, being biracial, and an American actress (not even an A-list, which may have been a plus). The least she could have done to warm her way into the hearts and minds of the British people, is to at least appear that she gave a shit about the way things are done.
I'm NOT sorry to type this, but I will because it is what it is: Meghan did not do Windsor a favor by marrying Harry, Windsor in fact did her a favor by allowing her become a part of their family and she should have acted accordingly and not take a mile when given an inch.
It's what it is. Your submissions are totally based on "may-be". They called her dictatorial but can we really ride on that seeing that the same media had, prior to then, written all manner of baseless stuff against her? Isn't it obvious they would call her anything? You just picked one that could fuel your argument. If she were dictator, she wouldn't want to leave royalty. It doesn't add up. Again, it's marriage. A man walked up to a woman and the woman accepted him. No one did anyone a favour. Meghan was a successful actress and obviously isn't even interested in royalty. The press is being racist and that's pretty much obvious. Your reaction is what they're aiming for. A woman holds her own tommy and you call it pride. This whole discussion even weakens the masculine gender cause people are making it look as if Harry is senseless and can't take a decision on his own in his best interest. Nobody should live his/her life in a cage forever. She accepted some royalty, royalty should have accepted some of her. You and I don't know the sacrifices she must have made on her own part to fit into royalty. We are only judging from afar and we think that should be easy cause, after all, royalty is supposed by be blissful. If the two consenting adults have decided to move, the best we can do is to let them be. We mustn't always blame the women for everything. |

There's nothing wrong with what you said in my opinion. But then, I wouldn't do that if we don't operate on that level of familiarity. I wouldn't even send her a message on WhatsApp. She's the boss, please let her take the lead. Meanwhile, if she was really angry, she'd express it outrightly (as the boss that she is) without involving a third party (the house girl). So relax! Chances are, the house girl is just whining you  |

What do you expect? That dey become nannies till dey hit menopause? He is a polygamist it's not her right to judge him cos she knew he was a father of two before she started begging him to fvck her she's absolutely nothing without him no education, no self pride no talent no business.
The girl better keep shut and takes what she get. School she no finish rubbish. What Devido did before he started dating Chioma doesn't count here. That wouldn't even make him a cheat. What matters is what they both do after professing love to each other. While we can't tell if Chioma cheated or not, we also can't tell if Devido cheated himself. There's no pride in bashing women like teenagers. |

You guys always jump at any slight opportunity to trash women. The obsession is alarming. If a man cheats, we keep mute or create reasons for him or even criticize the women in question. At best, we criticise the man in question and not the masculine gender as a whole. But if a lady is accused of cheating, that's when you'll hear "fear women", "never trust a woman", etc... Ya'll should just turn gay and rest. Chauvinistic lot. |

Please, reach out to me if you find any contrary explanation elsewhere. NB: You might want to see this thread https://www.nairaland.com/3138313/test-h-factor#46145742 |
Celebrities › Re: Naira Marley Is Not An Ambassador Of Bad Reputation “he Has A Msc” -lyta by etrange: 8:14am On Jan 18, 2020 |
Snapchat: H is a consonant but words starting with H are usually pronounced like it starts with vowels. You can't possibly say an House or an Horse, for example. How is this different? Short Answer: Words that start with "H" are not always pronounced like they start with vowels. In the examples you gave, they both start with the consonant sound /h/. This can only be omitted by people with the popular H-factor (explained below). Long Answer:First, like I said it's the first sound that matters and not really the first letter. We use "an" if the first sound comes out as a vowel and "a" otherwise. This is regardless of the letter. Now, let's address the examples you submitted. When a word start with the letter "H", it either silent or pronounced. Scenario One: Silent H:When "H" is silent, the next letter after it determines the sound. Example: "honour"(pronounced /ˈɒnə/), "honest"( pronounced /ˈɒnɪst/), etc. In these examples, you use "an" because they both start with a vowel (/ɒ/) as the first sound and the letter "H" is silent. Scenario Two: Pronounced H:"H" is said to be pronounced when it maintains it's own distinct sound (usually pronounced like a free flow of air from the mouth). This is usually the case when the letter is found inbetween two vowel sounds in a word. Example: inhale (pronounced /ɪnˈheɪl/). Notice that the letter "H" is pronounced as /h/. In many cases, this pronunciation is also adopted when a word starts with the letter; unlike in the first scenario where the next word determines the starting sound, the /h/ sound is actually pronounced here. Examples: house (pronounced /haʊs/), horse (pronounced /hɔːs/), etc. Notice that both words start with the the consonant /h/ sound (it is not silent) unlike the first scenario where the next letter would have determined the sound. Therefore, we use "a" as the right article before these words. *H-factor:This is a Nigerian expression used to describe the linguistic concept where people whose original languages don't have the letter "H" tend to treat all starting "H" as silent. This is why some mistakenly say "an house". Even those who rightly say "a house" sometimes feel it's awkward cause they think the first "H" is supposed to be silent. But no, it's not actually. This concept is a form of Mother Tongue Inference. See also:https://www.nairaland.com/3138313/test-h-factor#46145742Good Morning. |

Snapchat: Being that it starts with consonant, I think it's right. No, bro. It starts with a vowel sound /ˈɛ/. It's the sound that matters not the letter. You say "the word 'man' starts with an 'M'". Notice you don't say "a 'M'". Also notice that it is acceptable to say "a European" cause even though it starts with a vowel letter "e", it also starts with a consonant sound /j/ (pronounced like the "y" in in "yam"). |

A president can only be impeached when serious criminal offenses, treason , bribery is committed even if Trump breached some law the its a civil offense and not impeachable offense.

They want the poor to be poorer and the rich richer( take a look at their policies..from Healthcare to all, lazy man policies) while The Republican says the poor should be richer the richer should be rich too therefore work hard for everything you get You're statement about women is simply chauvinistic, oga and somewhat idiotic. If you want to attack Pelosi's actions, do so and don't judge her by her gender. We have women leading countries excellently out there. We also have men who have gooffed as leaders. Yet you choose to attack the female gender as if your country led by a man is better than Germany. To think you even sound educated. .... |
