Looking for any small opportunity to rain insult on nigeria women on this forum,
Pls why is that?

If the once you have come across is bad doesn't everyone is.
When you see someone continuously insulting or trying really hard to undermine others, it's hardly about those he's insulting, it's more about the individual. He's either keying into trend just to have a share of the spotlight or he says things he wants to hear, things he wishes were true. He says those things to himself just to convince himself he's not the problem. It helps to lighten the weight of reality for such individuals. Ask yourself how many girls from other countries he has dated for him to know those in Nigeria are particularly different.

Redman44:
I am knowledgeable about the Food processing industry in Nigeria, bro. It is a HIDDEN Goldmine that takes close to 2 years to fully navigate and understand. do you know how many bottles of Coke or Bigi drinks are consumed in Nigeria daily? Why are the Indians always establishing biscuit and fruit juice companies in Nigeria? Hmn. Let me stop here. Cheers.

Huge Population can be a BLESSING sometimes.
I agree. But this guy isn't really into food processing. He went to hawking which is the smallest form of retailing. My question is, does he really need to start with hawking a few loaves of bread at the roadside in order to understand this food processing industry of which you speak or the banking job didn't give enough to start a bit bigger?

My point is, I know food processing could be a gold mine and would likely pay more than many 9-to5 bank jobs but I doubt hawking a few loaves of bread down the street is the deal.

Good morning.

This take extra courage. At least it's better than doing nothing.
But he wasn't doing nothing. Is this really better than his former job? He said he realised his friend who was also a bread seller was earning more than him. I just wonder if his friend was doing it in such a small scale too. Didn't he save enough to be a distributor? He worked in the bank for 6 years and could only afford roadside hawking? It's either things are really really bad in that country or he's hiding what really got him out of job.
PetsRe: Utah: Animal Trainer Saved In Alligator Attack ( Graphic Pix, Video) by etrange:
Wow... scary.

Whenever something like this happens, Nairalanders would be like "whites are stupid", "whites play with everything", "whites are dumb", etc. But then these risks they take are what keep them ahead. You might be wondering how training an alligator would keep anyone ahead. The truth is, a lot people, including those who call them dumb, would gladly pay thier hard earned money to watch the enrapturing performances. While we are fighting for oil and hoping agriculture would save us, others are thinking out of the box to generate income.

Like someone said here, the predefined and almost sacred African lifestyle/lifecycle of Africans -- go to school, get a job, get married, give birth, grow old and die -- does not bring about change. And we shouldn't be afraid of change cause that's the wheel progress. Let's be bold enough to do something. Make a mark. Write a book. Help people. Disrupt the system positively. Do something 'crazy'. Criticise an idea if you must. Challenge the norm. Prove a point.

Good morning, beautiful Nigerians smiley

madridguy:
grin grin grin

Many people are just ranting over the Taliban victory after two decades. Its good for anyone to go back to history before jumping into conclusion.

Who created and made the Taliban ?

The people of Afghanistan have been shouting the US army should go and leave their land for the past 10 years. Reason many of them have lost their loved ones due to drone attacks.

As many people are trying to leave the country since yesterday, many are still there going around freely.

For the then US administration to have invaded Afghanistan is enough for the people to dislike them. Not every country needs democracy. You invaded Iraq till today there's no peace there.
Hhmm... You're talking as if they just woke up and invaded the country. The government made itself an enemy of the US by actively protecting America's number one enemy at a time. There's really no way to start justifying a group that openly supported terrorism. The country will now become a safe haven for terrorists around the world given that they share the same ideology. Besides, the people running away today have as much right as the people you said were asking the US to leave. You don't throw away democracy cause some people don't want it.

EducationRe: 8 Ways To Identify An Introvert by etrange: 7:45pm On Aug 15, 2021
Lol... People like to belong. At the same time, people like to think they're different. They want to feel unique. They write about those born in a particular month as if it makes them special. You see them saying things "please, know that I'm a scorpio, so..." or "quiet people like us are slow to anger but...". They want to feel special, so they take a narrative/description, stick to it and make a big deal out if it.

"How to know an introvert", "how to be friends with an introvert", "qualities of an introvert", etc. They write these things as if an introvert is a special subject to be studied. At the end, it's just an overly simplified categorization cause human personality is way to too complex to be categorised into introverts and extroverts. Even at that, identifying as an introvert doesn't make one a bad, good, smart or dumb person. Some people even call themselves 'introvert' in denial of thier low self esteem.

I'd say, observe people and appreciate them for who they are. Boxing them into a category and thinking you know them would only to lead to conflicts.

RomanceRe: Do You Still Watch Wrestling? I Stopped Watching Because It Is Not Real. Video by etrange:
Well, professional wrestling is simply for entertainment and it's not a reality tv show. You either like it or you don't, but people who watch it are not fooled. They just love it cause it not being real doesn't change the grand purpose which is entertainment. It's scripted in such a way that it goes beyond two people fighting; intricate story lines are added in the form of behind the scenes, grudges are fabricated to last for seasons, etc. So it's like saying 'I don't like movies cause they aren't real'.

I understand if it's not your thing though. I also don't watch it. I'm just saying it's just a matter of preference.

Do you guys realise forcing people to align with IPOB against their wish doesn't make you any different from the president you call a tyrant? What kind of freedom do you such a government would offer if Biafra were to be realised today? Let's call a spade a spade and stop this habit of always looking the other whenever people from our religion, region or ethnicity do the same thing we criticize others for. These traders are as as much Igbo as any member of the IPOB group and therefore reserve the right to agree or disagree with IPOB. You can't force people to follow your ideology except you're a tyrant. It seems cool now cause no one we know is affected, but the beast you're feeding will definitely grow one day to feed on you if you're not careful. You don't have to destroy yourself to fight the government.
RomanceRe: Dating And Marrying Lesbian Ladies by etrange: 4:10am On Aug 09, 2021
TheWolfen:
@ Southernigbo
Here is my previous comment to a fellow with similar lesbian problem
I think it's illogical to expect a lesbian to just wake up and become straight over night. It's not really about them being insatiable, it's more about them being who they are. They are simply not straight so a straight man trying to satisfy a les is, to me, the dumb one cause the only reason a les would be with you in the first place is to satisfy the society. On the other hand, I've seen bisexual women who ended married to men and they're doing great. Of course, some would cheat but it can be argued in this case that cheating isn't a matter of sexuality cause straight people cheat anyway. The problem is that many bisexual people tend to lean more towards one gender. Heaven help you if you end up with one who leans more towards fellow ladies.

I sincerely believe everyone deserves love and happiness regardless of thier sexuality but any man marrying a bisexual person should know things could easily go South if she's more of the ladies type. Besides, how would he even know she isn't just a les trying to hide from the ever judging society? In that case, such a lady would never really love you as you'd expect a woman to do regardless of how nice she is as a person.
RomanceRe: Dating And Marrying Lesbian Ladies by etrange: 3:58am On Aug 09, 2021
OP, if your girl is really into you, then she's bisexual. It's good to know the difference as that would be a key factor in deciding the way forward. A bisexual person is equally attracted to both genders. It would be illogical to think they can't settle down with a guy. A lesbian on the other hand would only marry you to satisfy the society. Normally, I doesn't end well.

Another lazy analogy and pictures,

Why do people think that by posting picture and links you can confuse or make a point, you making reference to a snake species that produces its own venom?.

You fallen into the path of frequency illusion, a combine case of selective attention and confirmation bias.
You've not gone searching for non venomous snakes that can build up Venum from consunming poisonous diets, or snakes whose Venum comes from their diet, you instead went to search out the opposite, just to confirm your bias.
Like I said , open up your mind to reason and thoughts, don't lose knowledge because of pride.
I did not search for anything other the the exact snake mentioned in the article you shared yourself. It seems you didn't even read what you shared. Otherwise, you would have known that's where the tiger keelback came from. You've just run around without really making any point. A non venomous snake does not become venomous based on what it eats. Snakes that can produce or store venoms are classified as venomous as they have the body organs required for that as well as the characteristics. It's as simple as that. Don't argue to win, argue to learn.

"Venomous snake that get it's venom from an external source".

So If it's a venomous snake why does it need to get it's venom from external source?. I'm not even sure you read the link at all, be open to learning and don't close your mind when you're wrong, instead just learn and be better
Dude, take correction and stop embarrassing yourself. The tiger keelback is a venomous snake. Whether it manufactures its venom or gets it from an external source does not make less a venomous snake.

Contrary to your post, it is not a non venomous snake that develops venom after eating toads. A non venomous snake cannot develop, store or transport venoms even if it eat only toads all its life because it does not have the body organs for any of those. The ability to retain and transmit venom has to do with the physiology of the animal.

My Chinese teacher said his country naturally doesn't do well in any sports that involves locomotion. He didn't say why but I think it has to do with height. They are mostly short and that's a major setback in most sports as height could affect other factors like speed, leaping ability, etc.. Table tennis, on the other hand, is a game of tactics and they have that in abundance.

Now if you read my comment you quoted:
Wow... I didn't know this. Did you say "develop"? How? Any link to support this, please?
First, non venomous snake developing venoms after eating anything is like a man getting pregnant after making up. It's impossible because neither of the two has the biological buildup for those. The snake mentioned in the article you shared is classified as a venomous snake and it has all the characteristics of one. It has the glands and the transportation system to. It is not a non venomous snake that developed venom. It a venomous snake that gets its venom from an external source.

Let's appreciate differences. That they don't do it like you doesn't mean they are any less sensible. Yorubas touch each other's private parts in wedding ceremonies, Igbos carry palm wine up and down looking for the husband, etc. None is essentially superior to the other. So if these guys feel happier being alone in an isolated place with a goat, so be it. The most important thing is that nobody's right is eroded. The problem only arises when Mr. A thinks Mr. B's style is inferior and makes it a point to of duty to call him senseless, stupid, etc. In reality, it takes courage to pursue happiness regardless of what people would say. Just saying.

Show us a picture of the bite spot, else it's a bad lie because even snake charmers don't just pick up a snake based on its frontal eyes or belly pattern many non venomous snakes have been known to develop venom over time by feeding on poisonous toads and reptiles.
Wow... I didn't know this. Did you say "develop"? How? Any link to support this, please?

To me, this sounds like saying a man could start secreting milk by continuously applying make-up or that human beings could develop the four stomach compartment of ruminant animals after eating legumes for a while. Venomous snakes have glands that produce these venomous. They have body systems that enable the transportation of the venom. It's a bit hard to believe these things can just appear after eating toads.
