If you desire to engage in prostitition, it should be by choice and not coercion

Some people have no conscience.
Business › This Is What It Means To Be A Trillionaire by grandstar(op):
Elon Musk is the world's first dollar trillionaire.

So, what does it mean to becone such?

If you earned $100m per day, it would take you 27 years to become a trillionaire.

Let that sink in joyfully.

The terms and conditions of the lottery should have stated that ab initio.

I totally agree with every of your argument but if they could allow him participate without the conditions being made clear, then, something is wrong and fishy.
I was forced to check online if illegal migrants can participate in a lotto and the answer was affirmative.

However, because of the illegal status, collecting it may be a challenge.

It goes without saying that lottos are usually for bonafide residents of a country. There should be somewhere in the terms and conditions saying this.

How about legal migrants?
There are no jobs in Italy. Their economy has barely grown since 1999.

Italy has very rigid labor laws that make it expensive to hire and fire workers.

Once a business has up to 13 workers, it is faced with many bureacratic laws which make doing business a mightmare especially sacking workers.

Because of these bureaucratic bottlenecks, Italian businesses prefer to remain small.

Where you make it hard to fire workers, you discourage busineeses from employing. No business wants to be stuck with an unproductive and entitled staff.

Oyinbo people wicked pass Chinedu that tied her sister down.

He won a lottery but you denied him because he is undocumented. Would it not have been ideal to have disqualified him ab initio?

Wicked Italian thieves.
Nothing wicked at all.

Their country was builtfor their citizens not illegal migrants.

There is a scarcity of jobs in Italy and even locals find it hard to get formal jobs. Their economy has barely grown since 1999, so the last thing they will want is clueless Africans who know next to nothing about Italy to come add to the mess on ground.

If you want to travel, do so legally.

Something wey e for give to legalee to collect on their name sign agreement to split.

Them no need id to buy lottery ticket, possession during verification is proof of ownership.

Get a lawyer to draw up an agreement between you and your proxy and how money will be split. Under a good arrangement he would have made off with nothing less than 300,000 Euros which is far better than getting nothing or the resident permit. He can even self deport at that point because the bag is secured.
Most Nigerians who travel to Italy are mostly from poor or very poor backgrounds.

Most either dropped out from school or never went beyond secondary school.

Due to the one drop rule in many parts of the world, if you have a drop of black blood, you are considered black and treated as such. If you are "white passing" such as Wentworth Miller in "Prison Break" you'll be treated as white unless you expose yourself.

Borno state government will spend billions to reintegrate thousands of those behind this and other greater evils. 700+ of them just reintegrated few days ago. They'll return to the communities to ensure the schools are completely burnt and study the remaining escape routes that people use.
What you are saying makes no sense.

What do you mean by axle load?

OP should also ensure to sieve the laterite of debris and also to make it into fine powder.

The blocks should be dried not directly under sunlight but under a shade.

OP if you can have access to limestone or wood ash it can be used instead of cement.

Water should be added sparingly as well
Limestone would be a fantastic option

Is it much cheaper?

Mao helped to unify and build the modern Chinese state. After him, Xiaoping helped to make it prosperous.

So you think you could make a deeply divided country prosperous without first uniting and educating them?
Mao's policies were bunker busting disastrious from the Great Leap Forward into poverty and starvation to the Cultiral Revolution. Lee Yuan Kew called the Maoiat times, "an excess of hubris and theology."

A modernised China with the "Iron Rise Bowl"and,"Barefoot Doctors."

A unification that threw in 3 decades of crushing improverishment wasnt what was ordered. Mao could easily have stepped down after unification.

Stop supporting hubris.

Omohayek, could you pls add something.

A country that should be busy doing scientific research to conquer the earth is busy fighting tribal and religious wars.

That's how China was till Japan invaded them and hit them hard, then the US and allied forces eventually saved them. That's when they realized they had to put national unity over ethnic, regional, and factional interests.
China became crushingly poor under Mao. I wonder where you got your facts from.

It only started its remarkable development 3 decades after the war when Xiaoping started his economic policies.

The major material is clay soil so it depends on the availability on your land; if the soil in the area doesn't have enough clay then you may have to stabilize with cement. The other alternative is you bring in clay from other places so you can see that nobody can tell you how much this will cost because there are too many unknowns at present.
This is quite informative.

I was tbinking of a farm around Epe.

How much do you think a tipper of clay would cost? Epe is close to the sea.

I am thinking of going into farming.

How much would it cost to build a mud fence for a 10,000 sqm of land which is a hectare of farm land

I am trying to cut costs. I will use cement to plaster the walls eventually. Using cement bricks for fencing would be too expensive.

Romance › Re: He Cancelled The Wedding Because I Missed His Father's Funeral… by grandstar(m): 7:32am On Jun 08
AdisGlobal01:
SHE_NEEDS_YOUR_ADVICE

My wedding was scheduled for March this year, but everything changed after my fiancé's father passed away unexpectedly in November.

His funeral was held just three weeks later, in December. I genuinely wanted to attend, but there was one major problem: my employer had a strict policy against granting leave during the December holiday period. When I accepted the job, this condition was clearly stated. Despite explaining my situation and pleading for an exception, my request was denied.

I informed my fiancé immediately. At first, he appeared understanding. I even contributed financially to support the funeral arrangements.

Then his mother called.

She told me that if I truly wanted to become part of their family, I had to be physically present at her husband's funeral. I tried explaining my circumstances, but she ended the call before I could finish.

When I called my fiancé afterward, I expected him to stand by me. Instead, he asked:

"If it were your own father, wouldn't you find a way to attend?"

I explained that the situations were different because my employer might make an exception if it were my immediate family member.

That was when he dropped the bombshell:

"No presence. No wedding."

I thought grief was speaking. I thought time would calm him down.

I was wrong.

The wedding was officially cancelled.

My family tried everything to reconcile the situation, but his family refused every attempt. Eventually, my father advised me to accept the loss and move forward with my life.

It broke me, but I did.

Months passed.

Then, on May 20th, my ex-fiancé called me.

What he said left me speechless.

According to him, I had failed the test of being a good wife because I stopped trying to convince his family after the wedding was cancelled. He said a "real wife" would have kept begging until she was accepted.

Then he announced that he had "forgiven" me.

Not only that, he had already chosen a new wedding date in August and expected me to start preparing immediately.

As if the breakup had never happened.

As if my feelings didn't matter.

As if he alone had the authority to decide when a relationship ends—and when it resumes.

Without hesitation, I told him I was no longer interested.

His response shocked me even more.

He said:

"I'm not done. You don't have the right to be done."

I blocked his number immediately.

But that wasn't the end.

A few days later, he appeared at my father's house carrying the bride price and all the marriage items he had previously rejected.

My father told him clearly:

"My daughter has moved on. As far as this family is concerned, she is no longer available."

Still, he refused to accept it.

Since then, he and his mother have continued calling, visiting, and pressuring both me and my family despite my repeated refusal.

Now I'm beginning to wonder:

Is this really about love, or is there something deeper behind their sudden determination?

What troubles me most is the mindset that someone can cancel a wedding, disappear for months, return when it suits them, and expect another person to simply obey.

I am now considering legal action because the constant calls, visits, and refusal to respect my decision are becoming disturbing.

My question is:

If someone ends a relationship, then later decides to "forgive" you and resume the wedding without your consent, would you see that as love... or as a dangerous sense of entitlement?

What would you do if you were in my shoes?
You dodged a bullet.

Those are the signs of an overcontrolling person.
