Are worms not special? You are still passing a value judgement on like the one's you condemn.

Compared to millions of other organisms, worms aren't special. What's your argument?

Hmm... One of the few corrupt buffons that kept Abia State in a stagnant state.

He should be serving a minimum of 7 years in prison..

Well, welcome to Nigeria.

Imagine using a TV show to determine people's mental capacity. Nawa ooo. Weh done, Albert Einstein.

How dare you compare me with Einstein?

I'm GOD #winks

dubylhover:
Honestly I love it when quality shows like this goes under the radar,when I recommend it for some people and they don't understand it,I don't bother to explain anything,I'm just like "that's your loss".. Its selfish I know

I get you

dubylhover:
The show is a conscious show about what humans of nowadays dedicate their time to.thereby making thselves selves servants of..the show is so so deep and good

DEEP is the right word. Unfortunately, dumb people make the majority of the human population, hence the unpopularity of this masterpiece of a show.

VerifiedStalin:
The Igbo dialect spoken on the show was spot on, but they completely butchered the Yoruba dialect...lol.

Hahaha.. You wouldn't blame them

Calibrator:
The Osun and Biliquis Nigerian tribal dance in the latest episode of American Gods was lit as fvck.


Nice choreography.

They even spoke Igbo. It made me proud hahaha

dubylhover:
American gods are criminally underated

Mehn.. Underrated is an understatement I believe.

There has to be a reason this show isn't making waves.

The first time I saw the trailer, I wasn't interested, to be honest.

It looked too American and I hate shows that look too American.

Secondly, I wasn't seeing gods blast out energy and fireballs in the trailer.

And I was like, what the hell am I going to watch?

Well, I started watching the show two days ago and I got hooked.

I'm already done with season 2, onto season 3 lol.

You have studied your existentialist masters very well. My main issue with your take is that you have made your point with the same absolutism and one sided rationale for which you criticize the religionists.

Are there existential masters?

I don't even know what that is. I've never been a fan of labels.

The fact reminds that you're not special.

To many, you're a worm in this planet.

Being gay, lesbian, bi or trans is not reliant on if you're manly, girly or even both.

I've seen gays who are more than straight, likely girlish men who are straight like an arrow.

Before you come out to throw your insecurities on these fellows, know that some member(s) of your family or friends could be one.

You might even be one if you're honest with yourself.

Live and let live!

I never thought I will fall in love with American Gods...

Wow

17 years?

His eldest should have been among those writing Jamb,

While second to the eldest will be in SS1.

Third child, maybe JSS 2.

Yet he's thanking God for such magnanimous delay?

Religion!

Xenry:
Tesla's model would be okay, Lol . Make I drop my account details?

You failed the test

Don't worry, you'll get it next time

Chai My favorite op has outdone himself lol

Now tell me, which car do you want?

You need to be compensated for making me laugh

Useless father! Look how he crushed the life of his daughter for few minutes of pleasure.

Believe me, the girl is no longer the same. She will always blame herself for the trauma and feel disgusted whenever she looks in the mirror.

Her body is no longer hers, it has been taken. Finding love is going to be much harder, as she will never believe how someone will ever desire her, talk of love her.

Most of these embittered Nairaland ladies always bashing men are victims of this horror.

Sometimes I don't blame them, especially the one saying the future is female.

I had a good laugh lol. When you create for the short people, please mention me

Sonnobax15:


Marry your best friend and emancipate yourself from future heartbreak

What if my best friend is a fellow man like myself?

The future is female

Tracking of phone is #15,000.

MineBitcoin:
the timers shows 9 days and some hours, but how I go take know if the package has arrive at post office

When you check the tracking, you'll monitor the movement of your package and be able to tell when it has arrived.

You have a tracking number, use it.

When it arrives at the final point, it will alert you, in which you have to visit your nearest post office to collect it.

If you're still confused, you can chat up their agent for assistant.

MineBitcoin:
please I order from AliExpress since 11 of November 2020, haven't received the package yet, av checked post office they said they have not received any package, And for AliExpress app, the item is still showing for shipped, and if I navigate to tracking it shows "PARCEL IS STILL IN TRANSIT NO WORRY WE WILL DELIVERED IT TO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE", this is my first time am using AliExpress, don't know what to do, should I just wait or I should open a dispute

Just wait. Covid-19 disrupted everything. My last goods took three months to arrive. Always monitor the timers too, and know when to open dispute when you think something is wrong. But in your case, I doubt. Just wait.

You remind her of herself, when she was your age.

Her time have passed, but yours is beginning.

She envy you, and it shows in her admonishment to stay away from boys.

"The black sheep," she calls you.

But in her bedroom, she fantasize your sexual escapades, and bring herself to climax through her toys.

This aunty of yours is here on Nairaland, a well known feminist and hater of men.

Ahh.. How can I know of these?

Well, lemme brag at this juncture,

I'm GOD

Cholls:
my brother nawao a whole 20mins.

Some are yet to even understand the picture for ages

Both you and your friend are a dumb dumb. Now, take that to the bank and cash it!

NAYPYITAW, Myanmar (AP) — Myanmar military television said Monday that the military was taking control of the country for one year, while reports said many of the country’s senior politicians including Aung San Suu Kyi had been detained.

An announcement read on military-owned Myawaddy TV cited a section of the military-drafted constitution that allows the military to take control in times of national emergency. It said the reason for takeover was in part due to the government’s failure to act on the military’s claims of voter fraud in last November’s election and its failure to postpone the election because of the coronavirus crisis.

The announcement and the declaration of a state of emergency follows days of concern about the threat of a military coup — and military denials that it would stage one — and came on the morning the country’s new Parliament session was to begin.

The takeover is a sharp reversal of the partial yet significant progress toward democracy Myanmar made in recent years following five decades of military rule and international isolation that began in 1962. It would also be shocking fall from power for Suu Kyi, who led the democracy struggle despite years under house arrest and and won a Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts.

Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy released a statement on one of its Facebook pages saying the military’s actions were unjustified and went against the constitution and the will of voters. The statement urged people to oppose Monday’s “coup” and any return to “military dictatorship.”

It was not possible to confirm who posted the message as NLD members were not answering phone calls.

The military’s actions were already receiving international condemnation.

U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken issued a statement expressing “grave concern and alarm” over the reported detentions.

“We call on Burmese military leaders to release all government officials and civil society leaders and respect the will of the people of Burma as expressed in democratic elections,” he wrote, using Myanmar’s former name.

The office of the U.N. secretary-general was also among those to issue a statement condemning the developments as a “serious blow to democratic reforms.”

The detention of the politicians and cuts in television signals and communication services on Monday were the first signs that plans to seize power were in motion. Phone and internet access to Naypyitaw was lost and Suu Kyi’s party could not be reached. Phone service in other parts of the country was also reported down, though people were still able to use the internet in many areas.

The Irrawaddy, an established online news service, reported that Suu Kyi, who as state counsellor is the nation’s top leader, and the country’s president, Win Myint, were both detained in the pre-dawn hours. It cited Myo Nyunt, a spokesman for the NLD.

The report said that the party’s Central Executive Committee members, lawmakers and regional Cabinet members had also been taken into custody.

A list of other people believed to have been detained, compiled by political activists, included filmmaker Min Htin Ko Ko Gyi, writer Maung Thar Cho, and prominent veterans of the country’s 1988 student protest movement, such as Ko Ko Gyi and Min Ko Naing. Their detention could not immediately be confirmed.

The military TV report said Commander-in-Chief Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing would be in charge of the country, while Vice President Myint Swe would be elevated to acting president. Myint Swe is a former general best known for leading a brutal crackdown on Buddhist monks in 2007. He is a close ally of former junta leader Than Shwe.

In a later announcement, the military said an election would be held in a year and the military would hand power over to the winner.

As word of the military’s actions spread in Yangon, the country’s biggest city, there was a growing sense of unease among residents who earlier in the day had still been packed into cafes for breakfast and had been doing their morning shopping.

People were removing the bright red flags of Suu Kyi’s party that once adorned their homes and businesses. Lines formed at ATMs as people waited to take out cash, efforts that were being complicated by internet disruptions. Workers at some businesses decided to go home.

The military maintains its actions are legally justified, though Suu Kyi’s party spokesman as well as many international observers have said it is in effect a coup.

The 2008 constitution, implemented during military rule, has a clause that says in cases of national emergency, the president in coordination with the military-dominated National Defense and Security Council can issue an emergency decree to hand over the government’s executive, legislative and judicial powers to the military commander-in-chief.

The clause had been described by New York-based Human Rights Watch as a “coup mechanism in waiting.”

It is just one of many parts of the charter that ensured the military could maintain ultimate control over the country at the expense elected politicians. The military also was guaranteed 25% of seats in Parliament and control of several key ministries, especially those involved in security and defense.

The 75-year-old Suu Kyi is by far the country’s most popular politician, and became the country’s de facto leader after her party won 2015 elections, though the constitution barred her from being president. She had been a fierce antagonist of the army during her time under house arrest.

Nevertheless, once in power Suu Kyi had to balance her relationship with the country’s generals and even went on the international stage to defend their crackdown on Rohingya Muslims in the country’s west, a campaign the U.S. and others have labeled genocide. That has left her reputation internationally in tatters.

She remains wildly popular at home, where most supported the campaign against the Rohingya. Suu Kyi’s party captured 396 out of 476 seats in the combined lower and upper houses of Parliament in November’s polls.

The military has charged that there was massive voting fraud in the election, though it has failed to provide proof. The state Union Election Commission last week rejected its allegations.

Vardanes2:
Amen to that.

But sometimes, some people need to be told what they are doing is wrong.

Which I did. If he likes, let him continue. Na him wey go face the consequences.

He has been commenting like that for ages...

Many have done worse than what you did, it didn't change a thing.

He's a troll, and ignoring him is the best action.

Vardanes2:
Well, I did call him out, and I moved on.

But some of you can't tolerate the fact that I called him out...like you.


If it really does not bother you, why are you bothering with my calling him out?

Good afternoon.

You were giving him too much attention and energy. First rule: never feed a troll!

Vardanes2:
Would you tolerate someone referring to your own mother as 'useless'?

Because the guy who I was referring to referred to all 'vagina people' as useless.....all of them

And you are here to abuse me as being a nag...?

Good afternoon. Hate is evil. Give it up.

Left for me, I wouldn't waste my energy trying to engage such a fellow.

Move on, or are you new to Nairaland?

If the owner, plus all the mods can't handle it, what made you think you can?
