Magnoliaa: For a liberal-leaning person (I assume, from your posts), I am surprised you made this about gender.
Used to getting her way with men or they bending to her will as how? Like she's not genuinely in want of help? Or actually needed your tutoring, inspite of the fact that you're a man?
Torh.
Don't vex o. I'm a recovering ultra-wokist. I just haven't completely discarded the penchant to be sensitive to "micro-utterances" like that that seemingly set women as "minxs" and such.
I was honestly taken aback by that bit but if it possible that any other context other than that insinuation of "manipulation" exists, no problem.
I hear you about the micro utterance.
I would not characterize all women like that, this is about this particular person. Though, I do have a larger problem with the transactional nature of relationships in Nigeria, Lagos esp and this ties into that.
Honestly, she's stunning and so gets a lot of attention from everyone (even women). So not only about men. And so I think, she's used to and very comfortable getting her way. I won't characterize her as manipulative as everyone has their own agency, others may. But from her stories and what I've seen it is generally one way. And quite baffling to me. If you suggest you want something and someone gives it to you, eh.
Our relationship is a bit different as I don't have patience for all that. And we have had plenty of discussions about the "onewayness" of her "interactions".
So, I was jabbing Raum as he would probably throw all his money at her so she could smile. And she would smile so that raum could throw all his money at her.
The problem is that I'm a Western left of center guy with a lot interactions with Nigerian people who live in Nigeria. And these interactions, because where Nigeria is, remind me, unfortunately that it is sometimes about gender. And the wild thing, to my dismay, it's generally woman who remind me.
[quote author=Sportsweb post=132797989]I thought this liberal are being dramatic on social media. Looks like the tears are real and you are living evidence.
you see me crying? But, Trump supporters will be when Trump's policies kick in.
I'll invest my energy in helping those who didn't vote for or support Trump but who'll be negatively affected by his polices. The others can pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
bemeruca: Is nice to see you let it go. The true leftist part of you is on freedom of expression 😂
What's your TikTok channel since that's where you guys go to breakdown 😂
You are 50 years old but you are like a baby so please share your tikitoku
Instead of worrying about a country you have never lived, worry about why your daughter you don't have custody of who thinks she's white. Don't fail her like you've failed your life.
How much of a fuxing loser are you. Wake up in the morning lying your ass off "I live in the US, I live in the US." Like a Mental Patient.
Tell us what part of the US this is. Lol Spoiler: It's not. This idiot said I've arrived in the US and put up pictures of Canada. What type of loser pretends to live in a country he doesn't. Gets caught and still keeps pretending. You're broken.
bemeruca: Dummy when you finish high-school you are already educated. People with high shool degrees build houses, roads and bridges.
Bill gates and many more including Elon Musk realised they don't need a college degree. Are you gonna say they are not educated?
If you hold a college degree in gender studies are you educated? What's your definition of being educated?
Bill Gates went to Harvard for 2 years and dropped out but had something equally important, wealthy people around him. Musk graduated College.
Were you smart enough to get into Harvard? Your propaganda is so engrained you fool yourself. Maybe if you had an education outside of High School, you wouldn't get caught in foolish propaganda.
A40: They're evil. I can voice my displeasure in your choice doesn't mean I go dey actively root for your failure That's why I'm loud with my Trump support so fvck niggas like that can stay the hell away. Even the women too.
I even saw a transvestite leak DMs that Leveon Bell sent to her calling him gay and DL.
I'm like ohh so you people are admitting you're actually men
Yes, it's evil to expect people to live by Trump's policies they themselves support. How can it be a failure when she supports Trump and his policies?
And how dare a transvestite leak DM's of a man who actively supported a man who won his election based on homsexuality. How dare he.
Illusioneffect: OMG! This is actually the last time I'll actually have a serious discussion with you because you're so distant from actual reality that it's mindboggling - normal people would read this atrocious statement and consider if you're either retarded or you're just a child at the keyboard. The fact you still think going to college makes you smarter in freaking 2024! 65% of polled Americans have said colleges are irrelevant due to high inflation and the rise to the cost of living
Forty-one percent of current college students reported they had thought about “stopping out” — or withdrawing for at least one term — in the past six months. That’s up from 37% in 2021 and 34% in 2020.
Among adults without a degree who aren’t currently enrolled, 55% reported program costs as a “very important” reason why they’re not in college, while 45% blamed concerns about affordability due to inflation and 38% cited the need to work.
Cost is also the biggest barrier to re-enrolling for those who had stopped out, with 54% saying it was a very important reason why they hadn’t returned to school.
If you actually think anyone in his right mind would choose community college and waste a year of his life learning something he or she will never use to make money or help his life when he could use that time to learn computer science or do something actually useful then you're just dumb
48% of Americans believe most college degrees are actually irrelevant esp due to inflation so wtf are you saying.
Most people in America are working class citizens - that poll would never have called them illiterates if Kamala Harris had won. They're not un-educated but are working class citizens. If you actually think this country would survive if everyone in America started going to college for 4-6 years then you're just hilariously stupid and it's not a joke but a FACT.
This are the people that work in the manufacturing industry, build freaking 200ft ships and maintain them everyday, build space ships, feed your hopeless insulting belly everyday but simply because they don't have a paper they're not worth salt to YOU because you went to a college that looks like they actually didn't teach you jack shit about how America functions and they didn't. Dummy
You sound like someone who never went to College trying to rationalize why people shouldn't go to College. It's like trying to rationalize why a kid shouldn't finish High School because you didn't.
But you do believe people should learn Computer Science, just not in College. Maybe they should learn it in some place that teaches people things outside of Highschool. Something Collegy.. Lol. Gotcha.
raumdeuter: Snowflake that is a good start except that your wallet was empty and didnt have anything in the wallet before
But you are still living in the country with those who actively supported Trump
You are still posting on a forum with those who actively supported Trump
So self deport and also deactivate
I'm poor and have no money and spend and need to touch grass.
This from the same guy who spends close to ~4 hours a day online and said he struggled in an economy with the highest stock market and the biggest housing value increase ever.
Yeah, poverty begets poverty. Stop being a victim, get offline and make something of yourself. Trump deporting immigrants (like yourself) won't make you not struggle financially.
raumdeuter: And what does this say about you? It simply shows that you are a little bitchh. You cant even tell her to her face, you are too cowardly to do that.
We had a convo about it. She just thought because she's used to men bending to her will, I would as well.
It was hard not to laugh at her or tell her I told you so. So, kept it brief and cordial. Lol She'll figure it out when she calls tonight and I don't pick up right?
It says that people like you who are soo stupid that they make decisions counter to their best interests need to live with them. Imagine an immigrant who isn't a citizen, heard Trump speaking derisively about immigrants, couldn't figure out that Trump tried to change the Citizenship process to make it harder, yet vocally supported him and all of a sudden is scared about the ramifications. I can't.
Illusioneffect: You are actually making my point for me. If I decide not to go into college debt and maybe learn everything I need to learn for free to study computer science and become perfect in it - you still think I'm dumber than someone who studied it in college?😂 Wtf are u saying? If a billionaire surrounds himself with college folks who make him money and he pays their salaries like how most colleges tell you is the default- he's still not smarter than they are?🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ Where did this fckin logic come from?😂 Is that what they taught you in college?
You actually think going to college helps you make better decisions and those who don't make stupid decisions because they didn't pay for lectures in a classroom? You actually can't see how condescending and hilariously stupid your notion is.
You really think a father would make more poor decisions in the quality of life he wants for his kids and family simply because he doesn't have a paper degree and didn't pay someone to teach him something he would never use 98% of the time 🤦🏾♂️ You guys actually leave in a tiny bubble
Telling people they should educate themselves is condescending? Of course someone from the Tribe of Degenerates would think so.
There are many ways to get a cheap degree in the US. Community Colleges and state colleges are a few. But that is the point. The people that didn't go those routes generally don't have the desire for greater understanding or self growth.
And yes, people who don't study generally make poorer decisions in everything they do. Studying or learning generally gives you a greater set of options and accompanying results to see before you make decisions. Your argument is that someone should reinvent the wheel every time they need to do sometime. It's such an asinine argument it can only be made by someone who doesn't think much about anything.
IMAliyu2: In 2016, I won't lie, I was in support of trump winning, and the underlying motivations were: 1. I believed that trump would stop US involvement in the middle east, to stop killing Muslims. 2. I believed trump would punish gay people or reverse gay marriage rights in the US.
I was 19, and my thoughts on these were based of my religious beliefs at the time. I also considered myself a "moderate" Northern Muslim.
Among the 2 reasons given, I cared about number 2 more than 1. Why was I homophobic? Just a gut disgust to the idea of 2 men being intimate. Why did I care what people did in private? Religious rational was, that if it's allowed then there will be sometype of vague corruption in the world. What was this corruption? I don't know, I didn't think that far. And also That God would get angry and punish us with natural disasters and other vague punishments like bad government and economy, if allowed.
I don't know what it is but, bigotry blinds you and r*tards you.
Took me discovering NL & agruing in the religious section with atheists & christians on here, forcing me to start attempting to make rational arguments for my beliefs to start noticing holes in the logic of my previous religious bigotry, before I had to reevaluate things.
I assume a lot of Nigerian are operating on some similar logic, and that's informing their reason for supporting trump.
Much respect. It takes a lot to challenge your beliefs and understand that your perspective may be limited.
I agree that a lot of Nigerians may operate on the same logic.
Illusioneffect: The fact that you simply are so stupid to acknowledge that most Americans don't get a college degree not because they don't want to but because of college debt. Going to college doesn't make you smarter than everyone else. 86% of billionaires in the United States don't use their college degrees? Just because someone in Kansas has a farm and employs hundreds of people but doesn't have a college degree doesn't make him inferior to a degree holder who studied Gender Inclusivity in college and makes videos on YouTube. Don't be stupid
Sorry, this is a lie from the pit of hell.
All education makes you smarter. Why stop at college, let's reduce your argument to high school, middle school or elementary school. Are most people with no formal education smarter than those with?
I went to one of the top high schools in the US. I thought I knew everything and no one could tell me anything. It wasn't until I went to College that I learned, there was a lot I didn't know. Greater than that, there was a lot of perspective I didn't have.
Billionaires may have not used what they learned in school, but the way they were thought to think and the relationships they built with a group of diverse people I'm sure made them smarter which helped them make more money.
You are a broke deadbeat who failed in every sphere of life.
I broke you so hard that you are still crying
I experienced both Trump and Bidens regime and I know the difference, Americans know the difference and chose right
No tears here fam. As I said, sometimes bad things have to happen for people to get it. When they take away your disability check you'll get it then.
And I know the difference as well. I am wealthier now than during Biden. Those with any assets or wealth are actually wealthier. It's a #fact.
You keep complaining because you don't have either. Has your disability check risen with inflation?
This is the problem with you, you've been indoctrinated in your cult you can't separate fiction from facts.
Trump attracts more uneducated voters than Democrats. FACT You are less educated than I. FACT. That is the reason you support Trump and I don't. You don't know any better. FACT. Thems the FACTS.
What do you call someone who has never been to the US yet spends all his time propagandizing for Trump? An Educated lying loser.
Why don't you tell us when you actually arrive in the US. Was it 2023 as you said in this thread or 2021 as you wrote in one of the chats you posted. What type of loser lies to his friends about the country they live? The same type of person that celebrates Trump a degenerate.
raumdeuter: This is exactly how your lack of education shows and your poor knowledge of markets
1. The impact of oil and gas policy changes can be more immediate in the broader market. For example, regulatory rollbacks and support for fossil fuel production create a favorable business climate, encouraging investment and stabilizing market expectations. This lead to a more confident outlook from the oil market, which influences prices even before new wells start producing. The effect on investor sentiment can lead to price adjustments based on future supply expectations.
For example a govt which is favorable to certain policies win elections, before swearing in, we will see movement in the market regarding policies. If a govt disposed to National security wins, before swearing in you will already see stocks in Lockheed, Boeing, Raytheon moving
Your lack of education is so astonishing
2. the increase in U.S. oil production during the shale boom significantly impacted global oil markets. The U.S. went from being a major oil importer to one of the world's largest oil producers. This increased supply added competition to the global oil market, forcing OPEC and Russia to consider U.S. output in their production strategies. If a govt that campaigned based on being anti fossil fuel and in favor of alternate energy wins an election. Immediately before they are even sworn in, the market reacts against Oil companies and in favor of Green energy. That is how govt policies work and affect the market
3. The policy signal on new leases to start new exploration matters: suspending future exploration may not reduce current output but can affect future supply forecasts, which impact long-term price expectations and market stability.
The moment words are thrown around in the middle east and tension rises, Oil prices start rising not because oil facilities have been hit but because of the potential for it. That is an example. This is why I said your reasoning, logic/lack of it is at 3rd grade elevel
So you decided to turn to AI to write these responses. Why is it that you and Bemeruca both have to turn to AI to attempt to win an argument with me. It's a clear sign you know I'm smarter than you.
It's clear it's AI 1.) You're style of writing is clearly different. From the vocabulary to even the sentence structure. And most of the posts you write yourself are riddled with colloquialism, poor grammar and spelling mistakes.
Compare these sentences A.)
3. The policy signal on new leases to start new exploration matters: suspending future exploration may not reduce current output but can affect future supply forecasts, which impact long-term price expectations and market stability.
B.)
The moment words are thrown around in the middle east and tension rises, O oil prices start rising , not because oil facilities have been hit but because of the potential for it. That is an example. This is why I said your reasoning, logic/lack of it is at 3rd grade elevel level.
AI wrote the first one. You wrote the 2nd. Let's leave aside the understanding of Economics, You can see the distinct differences in style, composition and vocabulary. Even in the rudimentary mistakes that are in the 2nd one. You want people to believe you wrote the more complex first sentence(even using a colon properly) by yourself without any grammatical mistakes but couldn't write the 2nd less complex sentence without at least 2 grammatical mistakes? C'mon. Try harder. Next time just rewrite what you find in AI in your own words.
2.) The answers are more generalized than what we are discussing. Not specific to this situation. Whatever prompt you gave you should have specified the time frame to make the answer more appropriate.
You're a degenerate and a liar. This is the 2nd time I've caught trying to post off other people's works as yours. You probably would have fooled another one of your degenerate friends.
Lebron: " What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS !!!"
He includes a powerful video of Trump's words. When I watched it, I thought to myself that if any US Presidential candidate had made even 2 of those comments in the past, his campaign would be over. Trump and the US media have normalized this level of racism and violent rhetoric.
Watch Lebron's Video:
What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!! pic.twitter.com/tYYlTmQS6e
EnlightenedUFO: I disagree with this. It's only the rapist felon trump and his goons that trash talk about the Biden-Harris economy. To be honest, MSM has been lenient on President Biden of recent when it comes to the economy. They are all reporting that the US economy is the envy of the world. Fox news business every week has been favorable to this economy, and they never miss reporting on the record job numbers of late. Only disgusting deranged maga cultists and the rapist trump always trash talk these United States.
I'm gonna swear down that I have never seen Democrats this vicious. Trust me. Listen to Tim Walz latest rally speech. Kamala and Walz have been shredding and dissecting this axis of evil spawn by the rapist. Kamala HQ creates one response ad against the rapist like every 4 hours, every day.
Also independents like meidas touch, btc, pod save America etc are constantly exposing the rapist. Also house Democrats have been sharper when it comes to pushing back at the rapist's racism and fascism.
Not gonna lie, we are in the avengers moment.
As of late, you are right. But, I think they allowed the sentiment to firm up in voters minds by being silent on it for too long.
ObaIgwe1: I thought about it too, but then I realized that a lot of people only measure economy by inflation / price of goods and services.
For Harris to campaign using other economics number will require her given many lectures on Economy.
So the best she can do is to give the specifics success they have on job numbers, infrastructures, and industrial recoveries and then tell the people she will work to bring the prices of groceries down and support them with tax cut, child support and elder support. That will be more effective than giving lectures on strong economy numbers.
I hear you on that.
But they could have made the argument Mark Cuban is now making tying Trump's deal to cut oil production, increasing fuel prices to inflation. They should have primed that argument months ago. Make Trump take a stand on it. Then replay the videos of him saying he helped negotiate the cut in oil production. Making a choice to bail out oil companies at the expense of higher gas prices for Americans would have cut into his, "I'm for the average person" shtick.
Dems do have this view that people will figure it out. They won't, not everyone is educated nor has critical thinking skills. This thread is a good exemplar. Esp. when Trump and most of the media constantly say it's the worst Economy ever.
I sometimes get frustrated in the inability of Dems to fight and message.
tctrills: You clearly don't understand my argument and it makes you sound silly. Now let me break it down for you. Blacks living in richest and democrat ruled cities in America still suffer some of the worst outcomes. In these cities, the lack of money isn't the excuse for negative black outcomes because they are super rich. The only reason is because the Dems ruin the black community. One in four black man living in District of Columbia arguably the richest place on earth per Capita, expected to be poor. Dems have been in power since 1964 in that city. If you are ok with this then I really can't help you.
You don't need to help me. You should try helping yourself by actually learning about US history.
Black people in the US suffer bad outcomes largely because of entrenched systematic racism by southern racists who largely make up the Republican party. In the 1920's, racists burned down a prosperous black town called Black Wall St. 60 years ago, schools in the US were segregated. Black people couldn't go the same schools as whites nor sit at the same counters in some places. In the 80's they had laws that prevented Black people from buying houses in certain areas. All the rights Black people won were on the back of Northern liberals who now make up the Democratic Party. There are people alive who couldn't go to school with white people and you are asking why some black people today are still struggling?
I'm done with this argument. You keep repeating the same nonsensical point. As I said, read some US history, you clearly have no perspective.
tctrills: You are missing the point. If The District of Columbia with a GDP per capita $259,954, and being one of the richest places on earth and controlled by the the Dems yet it has one of the highest rates of poverty and black poverty in the US then any black man voting for the Dems must have his head checked.
If New York city, a city with a GDP of $1.206 trillion many times richer than the richest African country and under democrats yet it has a one out of four of every black child living in poverty and 55% of black 3rd graders were not proficient in reading yet you can see who is the slave master. Democrats cities are super rich yet they have the worst outcomes for blacks. If California was a country, it will be the 5th richest in the world yet, only 2 in 10 Black and Brown students are reading at grade level, which is 14 percentage points below the state average. Just 1 in 10 are doing math at grade level, which is 10% below the state average. Please explain why the democrats are not your slave masters. They have all the money in the world yet they only create bad outcomes for blacks. Explain please
Wrote a response that got auto-banned so won't repeat it. Your data seems of. You seem to be arguing since there is some correlation it equals causation. Your argument is that a Republican state like W.Virginia with generational white poverty, where white people can't get ahead, will be somehow better for black people? Sounds very silly.
Free2Fly: Mumu talk from people who haven't travelled before. If he your family is in Bayelsa or Imo state, and you're arriving in lagos, you make arrangement for pickup with your family?? They'll have to travel to lagos to wait for you because you're an infant who doesn't know how to manoeuvre in his own country?
I travel often. So, who picks you from Imo or Bayelsa? Even if they are not picking you, he didn't say, "I'll see you on Sat" to his mom or brother?
The truth is parts of Naij aren't particularly safe right now. You have to move different.
Konquest: This happened since the supposed arrival of the young man on May 5th, 2024... 5 months ago! His missing status should have hit the mass media 5 months ago with his photographs widely circulated.
The CCTV footages from the International Airport would provide the FIRST hints of what airport cab picked him up and his final destination.
I hope he had NO issues relating to his academics, mental health and more in the United Kingdom that made him to go underground in Nigeria and become incommunicado with his phone lines switched off and bank accounts not touched.
Second, it's ALSO likely that he visited other places without informing his twin brother and the rest of his family. He could have ran into issues in those locations.
Some folks in the Diaspora like pulling surprises on family members in Nigeria or elsewhere by NOT giving full hints about their due arrival dates or announcing their plans to come visiting from the Diaspora and essentially lodge in hotels or Airbnb facilities FIRST before paying those surprise visits with gifts for family and friends. That strategy really has to STOP and just let folks have some hints about your moves.
The CCTV footages from the International Airport and his mobile phone calls tracked by the phone companies are the keys towards tracking this young man down either dead or alive. I hope by some forces, he'll be found after intense investigations from here on out that this information is in the media space.
He supposedly told his family he was arriving, just not the exact date. That part is hard to understand. If it was a surprise, they wouldn't know he was coming at all. That they weren't sure of the exact date is odd. He's a student. Had to buy his ticket in advance to save money. So, from the moment he bought his ticket he didn't want his family knowing the exact date but did tell them he was coming at some point?
Sometimes people keep details out that could be helpful. They should be 100% forthcoming.
I sometimes land and tell people various dates/times depending on who I want to see first or when I want people to know when I'm around.
Skydivine: I don’t care about what you think and I have no way of altering your mindset. That is my own security strategy to confuse my enemy while also saving some money. Lufthansa or Air France to Nigeria is 6 hours highest.
If you are doing that, you are putting yourself in much more danger relative to what you are saving. Not sure it's a wise strategy.
officialwdhtv: My twin brother is missing after arriving Lagos Intl. Airport from UK - Man says
He hasn’t reached out to us. His phone number is inactive, and his bank accounts are not active.
Daniel Ogoh, a 27-year-old postgraduate student in the UK, disappeared without a trace after arriving in Lagos on May 5th. His twin brother, David, tells us that Daniel has been unreachable since.
Sorry to hear this. But there seems to be a hole in your account where your brother wouldn't tell his twin nor his parents his travel details. You should probably try to explain that better.
Also, have you reached out to the UK police? May have better chances that way. They can track his phone or maybe able to request the CCTV from Nigeria directly to aid in the investigation.
