Hear yourself he is the largest employer of labour in Nigeria how is that impoverishment. Biko employ two people first know how it feels.At least break that monopoly.

Largest employer of labour?? I have friends in Dangote, low low salaries, poor working conditions, there even things I don’t want to mention. Oga stop encouraging what should be discouraged that is why Nigeria is not progressing.

MrTAnonymous:
2. S*x can help determine Compatibility.

A lot of marriages this days are hitting the rock because the couple never had the time to check on their sexual compability.
Imagine a man that has a high libido and a woman with low libido getting married without having sex prior to their marriage, won't they have issues?

Or a man who has erection dysfunction only for the wife to discover on the wedding night that her husband can't "do the do".
What will the woman do?

Number 2 cannot be louded enough. Some people don’t even know sexual compatibility is a thing.

Marry someone with the same sexual energy as you. She/He always making excuses when it comes to sexual leave him/her find your type.

These are early warning signs, if you like ignore and take it up a notch to marriage; it would surely end in tears... Devil would punish you when you start beating her because she no give you chop, like you were blind before abi.

@Op one cold bottle of stout for you jare. Just ignore the ones that would come and rant nonsense, like they no dey see the way divorce-rate dey sky rocket.

uruba23:
I know no one is stopping you from establishing one.Do you know how tough it is to keep business alive in Nigeria

Osheyy Voltron defender of the rich. It’s cause of people like you that Dangote has leeway to impoverish the people naa.

TecM0:


Dangote is just too greedy

His trailer destroyed part of my sister's shop, and we held the driver, the man was basically in tears begging us , telling us he earns just 40k has family in sokoto.... After detaining the truck for 4 days calling all Dangote group contacts, we just had to let the man and the trailer go, he had nothing to eat, and still prayed 5 times a day in a spot we gave him

Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Coca Cola and all furtune hundred companies treat their company staffs really good and still make profit, companies still keeps growing

.

I have said it time and time again Nigeria’s economy would be far better if we never had Dangote. His impact is so negligible compared to revenue he has been siphoning from Nigeria through political buhaha.

Across his African market the price of cement is the highest in Nigeria where he is technically a monopoly. Just wait till he is done with his refinery then you guys would start paying for fuel through your noses.

ogohiochola:
My friend and his wife got married since 2015 and the Marriage is blessed with 4 Children but there's no True love, he feels nothing for her and she's like a stranger.

What can he do?

Remind him of the vow “....till death do us part”.

Didn’t they have a period of courtship, for him to realize beyond her looks he feels nothing for her

Before you get married to “him” or “her” I’d advise you co-habit for atleast three months. She/he is dirty, she/he is not interesting, she/he is always making excuses not to have sex, you feel nothing for ‘em .... Oga, Madam know so you can leave that relationship! Marriage is a life time commitment.

Shortyy:
You need the wisdom more. Good night please.

Proverbs 15:1 - "A soft answer turns away wrath...” God knows if a woman has wisdom no man would descend on her.

....Of cause I would be asking the Good Lord for more wisdom. It is the principle thing

Shortyy:
There are men who are naturally angry and frustrated. Small thing, their temper flares up. I don't justify what that man did in any way, and If you do, then good for you. Have a good night.

So the your conclusion is that this particular man is highly irrational and his wife have no fault and she is justified in not performing her wifely duties by always not being in the mood, I hear you

Please remember to pray before you go to bed, ask for wisdom and commit your marriage into God’s hands (that is if you want to get married).

Shortyy:
You're more selfish Sir. If you think everything in marriage and life revolves about sex. Know your wife first, her concerns comes first before sex. If as a husband you're only concerned about sex and not your wife's affairs. Then you are very selfish.
And yes, you're in support of the man beating the wife, because your argument doesn't make any sense.
And yes, sex is not food. Sometime someone might not be in the mood to have this sex, as a reasonable person, give the person a break.

Where is the place of wisdom and compromise in what you wrote. You are not in the mood (which you concluded yourself without any concern for your husband), fine.

I don’t know what actually went down in this incidence but we both would agree this man would be a mad man to beat his wife for being not in mood at one time, just once in years. Let’s take a wild guess. How many times do you think she wasn’t in the mood for this man to lose his cool and descend on her. Again I don’t support wife-beating but its clear this woman is not blameless.

If you are not in the mood, what about compromise. There are other ways to appease your husband. Do you think the husband is always in the mood to pay schools, leave money for this and that or do this and that? (Assuming this man does).

The same way it goes for a woman not being in the mood, it also applies to a man. Do you know how many men haven’t been in the mood to have sex with their wives for years. How do you think these women feel?

Girl: wisdom, understanding and compromise.

Shortyy:
To me, did the woman practice any of these? And what makes you think she didn't? Were you there? She didn't deny her husband sex. If you as a man doesn't have sex in day, will you die? And don't tell me I'm being emotional here, because I'm talking facts.

You're even the one letting your emotions rule you, because of pleasure, you decide to beat your wife. It means you're controlled by your emotions, by your third leg, and not your brain.

You men should check yourselves. Especially most of you that think sex is all that matters in life, and it's only thing you need from your partners. Check yourselves. Y'all have serious problems, and I'm not even joking here.

Bible says "wives submit to your husbands" it never said "husbands beat your wives mercilessly any day she doesn't have sex with you" I'll keep saying it, any man that lays a hand on a woman because of sex or any other reason is no man.

Again for the Umpteen time I don’t support any man beating his wife. It just goes to confirm you say things like communication (cause it sounds nice) while you yourself you don’t listen. You don’t practice what you preach.

You were given statistics & religion but you choose the discredit the importance of sex with “sex is not food” its say alot about you. You are intrinsically selfish, marriage is about two people (common interest, compromise) not only yourself. Please don’t consider getting married if you think everything has to be to your timing or at your whine, you would add to the statistics of bad marriage.

“Sex is not food” do you know how many women are in sexless marriages, desperate, demoralized and unhappy. Again I am telling you this is not battle of the sexes. Check yourself.

Shortyy:
I read your post. And that's why I'm telling you this. And I'm not assuming anything.
As a husband if you don't communicate with your wife, that marriage won't last.

And it's an epistle to me because it all circles round sex. Sex is not the most important in any relationship no matter how you men want to twist it.

This is why I've decided to stop taking most of you here serious, obviously the only thing y'all after is sex. Very pathetic.

You bring in God and Bible when y'all want to push your agenda. God himself said you should love your companion, did he not? And you don't know that love also means, listening, forgiving, caring and being attentive to your partner? Please please. Leave God out of your narratives.

@Bolded right now you are just being emotional and its affecting your objectivity. First I brought in facts (statistics) and if statistics is not enough for you I also brought in religion.

You want to leave God and His word out of this aspect of your life, Fine. However I would advise you to listen to statistics; may it not end in tears.

Don’t turn this to the war of the sexes and judge the matter at hand appropriately. He is wrong for beating her but is denying him sex an appropriate action. - - - while I was young no matter what offense you committed, in my house you always get your perfect yummy 3 square meals and even more as you require it. Yes, You would definitely eat it amidst your hot tears; Oneday I committed a notable offense househelp’s judgment was that I wasn’t going to eat, mom got back and was furious. In her words “starving a child should never be considered as a form of punishment”. Apply this analogy. - - -

You talk about listening, forgiving, caring and being attentive (to you did the woman practice any of these) If this woman loved her husband like she ought in obedience to God like you are saying would she be denying her husband sex contrary to the words of the same God?

Shortyy:
All these epistle because of 2 minutes pleasure. You people are funny.

You don't know what this woman was going through at this point in time, you don't know if she communicated but the man never cared.

I've seen these things happen, that's why it upsets me. Married women go through lots of emotional trauma, but they'll rather keep it to themselves because no one would understand, especially if you're not married, and some married ones that are in the same shoe have accepted their fate because nothing can be done about it.

Most times it's not really the hubby, but there are some kind of depression that hits some married women after child birth. I just can't explain it. I'm not married, but I've studied lots of married people.

Sometimes talk to your wife, gently ask her questions and understand why she's acting up. It's not always about your right, your right, and what you want, sometimes inquire what she wants too.

You talk about communication but if you read my epistle you would see where i mentioned these things: communication, understanding.... it obvious you yourself don’t practice what you are preaching.

@FirstBolded. Sister stop assuming, stop jumping into unintelligent conclusions. Did she tell you she tried talking to her husband... Women are so special that with a little wisdom they can subtly control even the crudest man. Sadly many lack wisdom nowadays.

@TheSecondBolded: No man should ever raise his hands on his wife. But how do you know this man hasn’t tried to talk sense to his wife. Lets face man beating his wife (which I don’t ever support) is either given to anger or at the end of his wits.

World’s statistics tells you sex is the most “importantest” matter, Religion tells you same, yet you choose to downplay it; if it’s not ignorance I don’t know what it is.

What you call epistle is essential and the wise would see and adhere. If the bible can dedicate verses upon verses on top the matter don’t you think it would be important or are you wiser than the Spirit of God that inspired these verses.

nwaezeemmanuel:
Lol. You're the only that lives for sex. There's more meaning to life than sex.

You say denying a man of sex is more wicked than any amount of beating he gives a woman. Well, i hope this will not get you behind bars one day.

Nwaeze Emmanuel, most times i think you write to look good in face of the world. You are hardly ever objective. (I don’t even know why someone would put up his first name and surname on a faceless forum to start with).

First and foremost. Get this right, I am not in support of the man beating his wife.

Secondly, sex is an integral part of marriage. #Fact - Number 1 of top 3 reasons most marriages fail - sex. When you say there is more meaning to life i want to believe you are talking as a single. Even the bible recognizes the sexual needs of a single man: 1 Corinthans 1:7:9 - Man wey no fit hold body, make hin go marry. . Except you are now holier than the holy book I don’t understand the things you are spilling here.

As much as I blame the man I also blame the woman for lacking wisdom (well I blame the man for marrying her too - I would get back to this point). She is not blameless, marriage is about understanding, communication and the most underrate - reciprocity.
Make exceptions for the one you love, she would not always be in the mood, the man won’t always be in the mood, but with understanding and love each is meant to perform their duty.

You form “I am a Christian” and you are not even grounded in your own Christian belief - 1 Corinthians 7:5 - Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. . i know english is hard, so please read as meaning translation as possible. This bible passage talks about denying your spouse sex!

You know why people like you would end up in a bad marriage, you ignore things in the guise of being spiritual or whatever is your current state.

Marry/Have a relationship with only someone that shares your sexual energy.

jelel6:
The raindrops point, you completely missed it because you have to really be aware of some of the facts somewhat to appreciate what I was driving at. Anyways, it was a digression so don't bother.

Just accept it was a silly analogy.

If you have made any attempt to found out what speed a falling bullet can hit the ground we won’t be here till now.

jelel6:
Wow wow wow. Slowly does it.

There's a big difference between muzzle velocity and free fall velocities which invariably leads to terminal velocity.

The screenshot you attached, it was clearly stated that an AK-47 has a muzzle velocity of 715ms I think. NOT terminal.

Muzzle velocity is the velocity it leaves the gun, shot as if you're trying to kill.

Terminal velocities has much to due with gravity and height of travel than anything else. How can a bullet attain a terminal velocity of 715ms if shot vertically into the air when the only quantities responsible for it's velocity is gravity, height and medium resistance?

Use fact to refute your opponents argument. That’s sound logic.

So based on your little research what is the terminal velocity of a bullet from an AK-47 sir?

[quote author=jelel6 post=95263608][/quote]Try to do your fact checking before taking a side in a argument.

Thats is the terminal velocity of a .3

183 miles per hour is roughly about 294 km per hour (i know you should know how fast when converted to km per hour).

If a AK-47’s terminal velocity is half of that (which is even not the case), imagine the outcome if it were a car hitting you at that speed talk less of a small pointed projectile.

Get your facts right.

jelel6:
When the conditions for terminal velocities is attained, the height of fall doesn't matter any longer. 10000 feet or million feet. Terminal velocity for a given object under the same conditions is going to be the same.

(Think about raindrops, though liquids, they fall from unimaginable heights, if terminal velocity is dependent on height every step of the way, what do you think the impact would be on us? Remember the difference between those bigger, earlier drops from the subsequent, smaller ones when they strike us? Mass)

Your numbers about bullets conventional bullets reaching 670 meters per second, you should check that again. Those are enormous velocities that a bullet or similar projectiles certainly can't obtain. Conventional speeds are 50-100 metres per second.

Now, a bullet can actually penetrate the skin even at 50ms. So, injuries could occur honestly. And if the pointed end strikes eyes and other fragile areas, it could be fatal. I did assume that the angles of projection is roughly 90, I know those soldiers could have fired at more horizontal angles which can be very dangerous for those further back.

You're correct with the NB. I should edit my post perhaps. Police still shoot celebratory bullets into the air, even in the US. Both not on protests and it's not legal anyways.

Points taken.

Why TF are you mentioning rain-drop (a liquid), how does that compare to a metal traveling at more than speed of light into the air then coming back down. If you mentioned hail which by the way reaches no where the speed of a bullet i would have even given you a little credit.

At the bolded: all my facts are correct from the weight to the max distance reachable. Google is at your disposal too. Please double check (screenshot attahced: you can see my screenshot even stated a higher number 715m/s).

I am beginning you to think you don’t understand terminal velocity (let me help you with a simple definition: Terminal velocity, maximum velocity attainable by an object freely falling through a gas or liquid).

I ask you again given that all facts i stated about the bullet checks out, at what speed would it hit the ground all things being equal?

jelel6:
Thank you for the video. However, it just so happens that I did a lot of physics in school so...

Objects falling from a height will eventually fall with terminal velocity. This means the speed of fall will become constant irrespective of the height of fall. Don't forget there'll be a time the the object's velocity will be zero at maximum height. Then, all objects are been pulled down due to gravitational pull which is constant at 9.8ms'2.

Now, can a bullet kill?, possible. But highly improbable. That's because the mass of a bullet is considerably small and the quantity that'll kill a human is the bullet's momentum. And momentum is mass * velocity. So, you see the mass is small than say, the mass of a sledgehammer or a car or big rock.

Even in civilised societies and in movies too, shooting in the air to disperse crowd or draw attention is practiced because they know it's relatively safe. It's highly unlikely a person dies from the hit of a falling bullet.

I like the word high-unlikely.

But with a crowd of people, the chances of it happening sky rockets. One of the determining factor for it causing injury is the bullet point.

From your talk about terminal velocity do a little math, a small object weighing 0.03kg was fired, it travelled at an average of 1,500 miles per hour (670 meters per second): about double the speed of sound. Knowing that a bullet fired into the air can reach up to 10,000 feet. At what speed would it hit the ground, all things being equal (acceleration due to gravity).

If you calculated that then, We have established that while coming down a bullet has more velocity than a stone thrown with human effort haven travelled thousands of miles into the air. Depending of the bullet’s point it more likely to puncture the skin.

...and all know what the bullet point of AK-47s look like.

NB: In no civilized country is shooting live ammunition into the air used to dispersed a crowd. They have even stopped using rubber bullets because of injuries, most civilized countries resolve to water tanks or at most tear gas. Get your facts rights.

thebosstrevor1:
No time to argue. Abeg

Yeah it is obvious you are lacking in mental faculty.

thebosstrevor1:
They were firing not toward the crowd but by standing by the side in an angle of 90 degrees, so it is impossible for anyone to be hit by a stray bullet or falling bullet

Lord! Did you forget displacement (it’s traveling several miles away) and effect of wind current.

There were several more people at the back. It was a crowd. Most people hit (in my own opinion, from what i saw in the video) were a few yards away from where the soldiers were. Which made perfect sense.

The gun were not at perfect 90 degrees. If i have to guess i would say about 80 degrees to the sky, don’t forget the shooter was facing the crowd. If i have draw the outcome of this on a paper for you, it means there is something wrong.

thebosstrevor1:
The op wrote about shooting at an angle.

Also even if shot directly to the air, Bullets fired into the air usually fall back with terminal velocities much lower than their muzzle velocity when they leave the barrel of a firearm, meaning they can't kill when they drop back.

I hope you know that if you throw stone to the air, the force used to throw the stone, wont be the same force when it lands to the ground. Use that logic for a bullet instead of unnecessary arguments.

You have answered your own arguments bruh. A bullet fired into the air, travels for miles. You can’t compare distance covered by a bullet to a stone (I took further maths in secondary school)

No matter the angle, when coming down it retains some velocity (far way more velocity than a stone throw with human effort) thus it can puncture your skin if it hits you.

... and watch the video, the soldiers were firing between 70 - 90 degrees (almost perpendicular to the sky). So what angle are we even arguing about?

PatrickOkunima:
It is obvious who is stupid between you and I. The title of that article is misleading, and even if it's not, I am certain the writer has no practical knowledge of what he or she has written.

When it comes to issues like this, to an extent, I am an authority. I shouldn't even be replying you.

I pity the people that come to you for any form of service because it is glaring there is nothing in your brain.

Patrick Okunima lol I can’t even believe you would come here to spill garbage when a mighty resource like google is at your finger tips.

It is also obvious that you are an authority on talking without sense. You are a complete e-diot, your refusal to learn makes you a fool. You are an idiotic fool

EmmySparky:
oga you are older than this

Wisdom definitely doesn’t come with age!

thebosstrevor1:
Read it again, it is talking about 2 different things

Read the article, falling bullets can wound/kill!

maiquel:
Op watch the video again and again... as If the cartridges or containers whatever their name is, she showed you a bullet. One removed from one of them.
Yesterday on AIT, there was a woman who assisted with removing bullets, she differentiated between the bullets soldiers fired and those the police fired. She also mentioned their names. She showed the tool she use in picking the bullets out.

I know you guys don't want to believe the story, its fine, but don't distort it with your nonsense analysis.
There are too many evidence to show the soldiers shot at protesters.

On that same toll gate scenario, they were videos of people trying to stop the bleeding of people that were hit. He won’t see that video naa. I honestly don’t blame OP i blame the mod that allowed his topics to see the light.

PatrickOkunima:
Show me where it is written that a falling ammo can kill. Simple! Instead of copying and pasting what you can't comprehend.

Even the title of the article tells you a falling bullet can kill, if you are too stupid to read the article thats not my fault.

Just stop spreading your stupidity all over the internet and tarnishing the effort of people that died during this protest, so that e-diots like you can live a better life in Nigeria.

thebosstrevor1:
Do you understand English at all.the sentences you alighted and the ones you didnt alight, read both of them, do they correspond.

Mr genius, Where does it not correspond? That why i put the link to the article there for you.

PatrickOkunima:
I bet you didn't read the article. Bullets fired at the angles I saw in that video cannot kill.

A bullet fired at any angle into the air can wound/kill you, if it hits you on the way down.

You don’t know, now you are didn’t educated you still refuse the education. If it is not folly I don’t what it is. You can see why this country is not progressing

A bullet from an AK-47 leaves the rifle traveling at over 1,500 miles per hour (670 meters per second): about double the speed of sound. Despite only having a mass of about five grams — under a fifth of an ounce — it’s got the energy of a brick dropped from a 30 story building. Concentrated into a tiny surface area at the bullet tip, it can easily break through your skin. And once it does, that energy and momentum tears through your body, ripping a hole through blood vessels, muscle, and potentially vital organs. No wonder it can kill you.

PatrickOkunima:
I just watched the video by DJ Switch where she claimed the military shot at protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate.

From the shooting video, the soldiers were firing in the air. It is not possible for those shots to have injured, let alone killed someone on ground. ............

@op smh at you.

The true is in your own affirmation, yet you fail to see it. It is obvious you didn’t study any science related course and you don’t have a broad knowledge (in short you have nothing upstairs) yet you open your mouth even when video evidence is within your reach. People like you are the problem with Nigeria.

Everything that goes up must come down, before now i am sure you didn’t know that bullets fired into the air; when coming down can actually fatally and even kill.

You better work on yourself
