Lol. I've been reading this particular bit of story from many WhatsApp broadcast message.

People just imagine stories and share on social media. Isn't it funny how the narrator didn't give the name of the joint he supposedly met this lady?

Also, you want to return someone's wallet to them it's a joint you decided to meet the person, second, a joint they don't even know you and nobody can come to your defence?

Whatever happened to meeting the lady in a public pace of well known repute like Ikeja Shopping Mall. Atleast there nobody will make attempt to burn you alive or even meet her at any eatery or fast food joint.

even if the story is fake, your questions are stupid because you are only making these permutations because you have the chance to, for a guy that trusted the lady he could not have imagined that he was being played. Yes the story could be fabricated, but your questions are stupid.

You would have made more sense in advising people to meet strangers at the locations you suggested

That is not what I am saying at all, my statement was just about rocket engines in general and not to support one country over the other.
I was only saying that until very recently, Russians made the best kerolox engines because they were the only ones that could make an ORSC engine. Engines made in the US were of the inferior open cycle engine, but it doesn't mean that they could not build orbital rockets based on those engines. In fact, the famous F1 engine that powered the first stage of the Saturn V rocket that sent astronaut to the moon is an open cycle gas generator engine.
The fact that an engine is less efficient and expensive does not mean that you it cannot be used to launch rocket to space, it just means that it will be expensive and less efficient to use it, hence American reliance on Russian engines.
The metallurgy for making ORSC engine has never been patented, the Russians made it a trade secret instead. As I said before, America now know how to make the metals necessary for making an ORSC cycle alloys, and SpaceX applied this knowledge to make an even more advanced and more efficient engine cycle for their Raptor engine.
I love rockets, it is something I follow, whether it is the history or the technology, i just love everything rocket. I was only trying to make you understand something i thought you might not have known from your statement i responded to.

ok thanks for the education. Glad you are not taking sides

dorox:
Until recently Russia was the only country able to make an oxygen rich staged combustion (ORSC) engine. It is the most efficient engine cycle for a kerolox rocket engine, which was thought to be impossible by the west until after the cold war when they were surprised to learn that the Russians had mastered the technology.
The reason why it is difficult to implement is metallurgy. You need materials that can withstand the high temperature oxygen rich environment in the turbine of an ORSC engine otherwise you will burn the engine along with the fuel in what in known as engine rich combustion. when that happens, your engine will explode. And until recently, only Russia had the technology to make such materials. SpaceX, BlueOrigin, AerojetRocketdyne,and the Chinese can now do it. With this new knowledge of metallurgy SpaceX has been able to make the most advanced rocket engine ever made, it is a full flow staged combustion engine they call the Raptor, you can google it.
Previous American rocket engines were open cycle gas generators, they were quite inferior to the closed cycle ORSC engines like the Russian RD180. The only closed cycle engine built by the US before now was the RS25 which was the main engine of the Space Shuttle. It uses a fuel rich stage combustion cycle which is very efficient and does not require exotic metals to make, but this cycle only works for a hydrolox engine.

so? This is like talking about a 4 cylinder and engine and claiming because a company owns patent for the 4 cylinder combustion engine, there cannot be other designs that would be practical for automobiles. Or just saying because the most popular propellant for automobiles has be combustion engines, that means there cannot be other propulsion technologies...anyone truly in the engineering field would not be making ignorant statements you guys are making.

DannyWalker:
wetin you De Talk, ordinary Coke cola taste No Other Company Can Create Because They Kept The secret talk Less Of Secret On Rocket Science

you are talking nonsense. Yes no other company has been able to recreate coca cola's exact taste but we have lots of other cola drinks, Pepsi, dr pepper even Bigi cola. USA does not and would not follow the exact design of the Soviet space station, does not mean they cannot create a better space station. I am not in support of USA or Russia, but only daft people would say USA cannot continue their space program without russia. Let's stop being childish supporting a country should not mean we should become stupid

frowland:
Well, I don’t think one of the brightest engineers in the world will make such comment just like that. I think there is something he knows they do that’s impossible for others to do at the moment.

I am waiting for his response. He should tell us what secrets Russia has that others dont. Even India can setup their own space station, but there is a lot of bureaucracy to projects like this because of how costly they are. The knowledge is not the problem, the problem is the cost and importance to a country.

mrvitalis:
you are and engineer right ? So how did the international space station start who first built the first space station

I believe you can read in english. I clearly wrote that this is not the 1960s. The Russians started and were well ahead of the united states, but that was in the past. You claimed that ONLY russia holds the secret to "floating" a space station... that is a blatant ignoramus statement. We are long past that age.

WhatCanIsay:
For someone like you to say and believe that America can't build a space station is interesting. It shows what propaganda and hatred can do to people's way of thinking.

Do you know when Skylab was built? By the way the ISS will be defunct very soon. If you claim to know about space tech you ought to know so. For the west space stations are now going to be privately owned, that's the new move. And my brother it's general knowledge that American companies are already on the process today.

the guy claims to be an engineer. It his his type that disgrace the educational system of Nigeria. How can some one In 2022 claim only russia has the secrets to building space stations. What fvcking secrets?

mrvitalis:
Lmfao are u an engineer ? If no then shut up
If years then let's talk deeper

fvckin shut up you can only be a quack engineer. I am an engineer and you are talking rubbish. NO TRUE ENGINEER WOULD SAY ONLY RUSSIA KNWS HOW TO FLOAT A SPACE STATION. you think we are still in the 1960s? This the fucking 2022 not 1960s.

loosingfaith519:
I wish he could be opened like you. I would have gladly help him.
We always talked about this, he has promised severally to stop. When I mentioned it now, he would tell me not to take him back to his past, but he is still doing it. Even yesterday, he still Gambles.

it is unfortunate. Honesty is the first step to recovery. If only he knows it is not a battle he can fight alone. For his sake and the family's

loosingfaith519:
Sad. Thanks.

is he willing to cooperate with you to stop the habit or at least so you manage funds on his behalf? Because that should be the first step to stem financial damage this habit could wreck

L1TTLE:
Yes I was expecting other alternatives that's why I brought it here.

truth be told you are a confused entity and people like you cannot progress because you dont even know what you believe in, you have no standard. You said you ain't religious yet you talk perfectly like a highly religious and superstitious delusional *@#$.

loosingfaith519:
I recently discovered my husband has an addiction and I can't stay married to him.
As soon as money enters his hand, he starts funding some online app and start gambling.
We got married last year Nov.
We have needs and plans we agreed to achieve before the end of March. Which a better accommodation is one of our first goal. Our present accommodation is not ok at all.
On my own part, I'm saving to meet up with our Target, but I discovered, he has nothing. He collected contributions last month, over 200k. All that money wasted. He can't account for it.
January salary has entered, he has started wasting it again.

I'm expecting him to provide 300k at the end of this month. So, that when I sum it with mine, we can have over 600k. Get a decent accommodation and invest the rest.
We need to plan, save for our baby, but his attitude with money is not encouraging me.
The truth is, my husband is stressing me for lack of accountability.

Pls, how do I go about a peaceful divorce? I'm confused, because I'm pregnant.

All the things I'm seeing him do, suffocate me.
What do I do?
Pls, advise me.

I wish I could talk to you privately but no need for that. ..

First dont let the many Idiots calling you names and saying nonsense bother you. Most nairalanders are teenagers pretending to be adults.

It is unfortunate you have made the mistake of getting married to a gambler. Note I AM A GAMBLER too and spend nothing less than 300k a month gambling. It is terrible. Sometimes I quit and things improve for me, but within a few months I find myself gambling again.vit is a terrible addiction. Your husband is in deep shit I can tell you and if he does not change soon, be ready to cater for a destitute.


Dont be fooled. Gambling will ruin him totally. I hope he recognizes this and he is honest about changing.

If he keeps lying to you and not showing any sign of changing. Better get real with yourself and divorce him, dont let emotions get the better of you.

Only stay with him if you see him making effort to change.

He should immediately hand money that comes in to you for projects you have planned together if he is honest about changing. This would at least help him control how much he loses to gambling. If he does not like this idea, trust me, he is not ready.

I am carrying my siblings and girlfriend along in my quest to stop gambling and my honestly with them is the only thing helping me cut my losses. An honest gambler seeking to change would not keep money by himself. If he cannot hand over the money he makes, he is not ready to change

Ayinke93:
Thanks boss

you mean BUS ? Lol. Here is a woman that has taken her destiny in her hands and working her ass off to achieve greatness. Hope others would learn

NighttWalker:
We are currently experiencing a major historical event. This war will spill into something catastrophic for mankind, I don’t think a lot of people have realised that, they all think this will start and end in Ukraine

the war wont be has serious as you are thinking. It would be like the middle east wars that we are used to not dont exp2ct a nuclear war

davit:
I'm not sure this guy sends dem!

which is foolish. Because when his people start to face economic hardship they would rise against the government. That is the purpose of the sanctions it is to make the citizens of russia suffer economic hardship that would make them protest

kingthreat:
The moment Russia warns its citizens the same, get ready for war.

it would never happen.

jmoore:
Continue listening to radio Biafra.

he is not ibob. He is an islamic fool. He thinks this war would favour Arab nations that is why he is supporting russia. Anyone supporting any side is a fool. Whether russia or USA. They are all mad. They both play propaganda and are both selfish. It is stupid for africans to be hailing either sides. All we need is peace this war is an ego war that they are all willing to sacrifice innocent lives for

olatade:
I'm curious, if countries ban russian planes flying through their airspace but russia ignores these rules and continues to fly through european airspace, what happens? Surely they wont be shot down?

they would be escorted by fighter jets out of the airspace or forced to land and planes seized.

franciskaine:
pls wakeup from your colonialism and neo-colonialism noise, it has become clichéd. Until the 20th century nations were captured and taken captive, and their resources pilfered. That of Africa is not a different.

So the argument of colonialism being the cause of our underdevelopment is long defeated.

please tell him. I have addressed the real issue. He and the other guy are muslims. The real reason they hate the west is because they think this is opportunity for the islamic nations to rise to power. That is the real reason.

FourElements:
If Russia wins, the western generational chains of economic slavery and unpayable debt on the ankles of Africans will be broken.

and you think china is not in debt? You think USA is not in debt? Our problem is not the US or UK it is us. Let us address bad leadership in Africa. Stop waiting for Russia to defeat the west for africa to develop. Africa is behind because we were complacent and poor negotiators. We have a leadership problem.

BKayy:
One at a time.
1. You still under France and England because you lack what it takes to be free. What it takes is the willingness to pay the price with blood. Those that can do it like the Arab nations, despite being colonised by France and England neither have their economy managed by France or dragged into Commonwealth by England

2. What exactly do you know about Gaddafi and Robert Mugabe?
Gaddafi after taking over Libya took her from one of the poorest in Africa to the richest while Robert Mugabe expelled the West and returned the lands of the Zimbabweans that was taken by the whites back to them, then made Zimbabwe the most educated country in the entire Africa despite sanctions from the West.

3. Do you sell something to me when I am the one to tell you how much I took and still force you to buy the same product back at credit? This is the simplest way to explain the riddle of the oil you think you are selling.


As you can see, you are very ill informed. You lack the critical understanding of the problem facing you. Ability to speak English (which is somebodys language) is not education.

all your points are gas lighted.

The west are not dictating oil prices. OPEC does that for the member states and the allocate supply volumes and most time the Arab nations make the policies of opec favourable to their own countries, you ain't talking about that, you are focusing on blaming the west.

As for the west setting price this is a BIG fat lie. They negotiate prices with us which is what any wise buyer would do. So you expect them not to negotiate good prices? You must be a kid to think that way.

Is it their fault that we have refused to develop our manufacturing industries that we have to rely on them for imports that gives room for them recouping their expenses of buying raw materials from us? Why cant we learn from china and India? Because we dont have leaders that truly have the interest of our countries here.

Blaming the west for underdevelopment in africa is the most stupid thing to think in this day and age.

BKayy:
You are just basking in the euphoria of your own misconception.

Maybe today is your first day of seeing my moniker.

you think you are important. I dont fvcking know you. Shocked I could tell you are a Muslim? Lol. You should be ashamed of yourself for not being able to hid your religious sentiments.

BKayy:
Before you fool yourself further, I will like you to know that
1. France is incharge of all the foreign reserve and Economy of Francophone Africa.
2. Commonwealth of Nations which Nigeria is part of is the extension/new name of the British Africa. All diplomatic and economic strings for the member "paper states" which are actually companies of Britain gets its go ahead from England.

So how independent are you? Stop seeing what they want you to see, no black African country has a leader, what all them have is caretakers

Apart From Goita and Eritrea to an extent, the last leaders in Africa was Thomas Sankara and Robert Mugabe.
No black country is actually independent. Zimbabwe fell with Mugabe to the West.

and France used juju to hold us abi? And who is in charge of OPEC? The fact you put fools like Robert Mugabe above Gadaffi says a lot about you. You are just struggling to sound smart. I have already caught your intentions. It is hatred for the west that is your problem nothing else. You are yet to answer me,... are we supplying crude oil to the west free of charge? Are they not paying us same way they are paying Russia? The russia you are worshiping dont they also have foriegn reserves in western countries. Why is the Swift financial network affecting them? No country can stand as an island. It is left for our leaders to negotiate profitable deals for us we cannot be blaming the west where our leaders are selling us out. Go and get an education

BKayy:
I have no interest in your views about religion.

The question was "why is black Africa hopeless?"

we should blame america instead of our own leaders and people. That is how stupid people think. They blame others for their failures instead of taking responsibility

BKayy:
I have no interest in your views about religion.

The question was "why is black Africa hopeless?"

you wont, you see how I easily caught you. And I did not even have to check your profile. It was just too easy. You think this is the time for your Islamic interests to gain ground.

BKayy:
Then explain to me why you are poor and hopeless.

This time, you talk while I listen. Tell me what you can think of with the sawdust in your head.

instead of blaming the stupid and selfish african leaders we have for under development, you want us to blame the west? In this day and age when countries are independent and should take their destinies in their hands, we should still blame the west right just because of religious differences. We have a useless leader there who is clueless, we have never had a leader intelligent enough to use the proceeds of our resources to take us to developmental levels that countries with much less resources have attained, but it must be the fault of America not our leaders.

BKayy:
Then explain to me why you are poor and hopeless.

This time, you talk while I listen. Tell me what you can think of with the sawdust in your head.

you are Muslim yes or no? How did I know? That should tell you that your sentiments are glaring. By the way I am an atheist before you think I am a Christian. I dont give a fck about USA or Russia, but it is annoying seeing u guys taking sides based on religion. You are just talking nonsense because you think this is about your religion. You think russia gives a fck about your religion? Hahahaha. Keep defending your idiotic sentiments. Oni yeye

BKayy:
There are more ignoramuses in Nigeria than I thought.
I've cleared this particular confusion in this thread, look for it.

look for it my ass. You just talk with obvious religious sentiments. You talk of middle east as if it is not same OPEC that regulates the oil prices of Nigeria and the middle eastern countries. So nigeria has been giving usa oul free of charge abi. Hahahaha. What religion has done to people no be small thing I swear

BKayy:
Unlike Africa and South America, they actually pay for what they get from Middle East because they know the implications.

just come out and say your Islamic alliance is why you are talking bullshit. It is obvious. So oul in africa is supplied to the west free of charge abi? They dont pay? Lol. What a joke

BKayy:
What exactly will you gain if Russia falls/the West win?

A question to remind you of your status. A natural minion of the West.

and what would you gain if Russia wins? You are just jumping up and down making senseless comments

BKayy:
Interesting.

You as an ignorant black African that is celebrating with the west should always remember that the resources in your land is mapped out by the west to offset the shock they will experience after the sanctions on Russia that they depend on for Energy.

Black ignoramuses.

what a stupid comment. Was the west getting the resources free from russia? And would they be getting it free from africa? The oil price that has gone up, are they not paying to get the crude oil? Gas that russia used to supply them, would they just come and get it free from africa? Very stupid comment

Nairobi33:
Go fucck yourself.. WWIII must happen and is gonna send humanity to hell for aiding America & the west's in its brutal war crimes against the weak across the globe since WWII. Brace yourself because una never see anything. It's just the beginning of a global nuclear catastrophic disaster cooking.

lol
