Health / Re: Stopped Smoking? How Did You Manage It? by Insanity(m): 3:28pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
Wow! Nice Thread. Been smoking since Feb 2006. i smoke approx 10 sticks/day and i don't drink. i've tried stopping once but 9days was all i could endure. I enjoy smoking while reading, i guess that's why i graduated with a good result...ℓoℓ. I've heard of the nicotine gum that helps during the withdrawal period, how and where do i get the gum? What of cannabis? i think it has the same effect on the lungs as the cigrattes...considering the fact that you inhale n exhale smoke in both cases. Anyone with a different idea should let me know. #SaveTheLungs! |

Family / Re: Divorce Settlement And Child-Support Be Introduced In Nigeria? by Insanity(m): 12:47am On Jan 15, 2013 |
baby_123: That's wrong! What do you mean by 'the less priviledged spouse'? You get what you put in, that's what i believe. Women can be very self centered some times, i have a friend, more like a family friend. He got married to a low profile girl with nothing still struggling to finish school, her course/major in schools got cancelled 'cuz of accreditation wahala, NUC issues. They are married with kids, the was very successful when they married but later he started having serious business problems. Money no dey as e dey before. He was really struggling but he believes so much in education that he sent his wife abroad to school. He stayed back with the kids, oh gosh, he suffered. He will borrow from his friends abroad to pay the wife's fees n stipends, he will still hustle for the kids and their own fees+ other family expenses. Last year, the wife got back after graduation and is now working. The guy is broke, and the working wife can't even contribute to the family expenses, she spends her money on herself. If you see both of 'em together, you'll probably say 'what's this beautiful educated woman doing with a broke business man'? She doesn't show respect to him@all, i mean, i was very disappointed last xmas when i saw them. This is a girl i know very well before they got married, skiny n ugly, with no friends, now she's educated and beautiful with so many friends, lacks respect for her hubby. Why can't she support the family and help out just as the hubby has been doing? Hell no! She spends her money on clothes, shoes and frivolities while the family is struggling, very sad. Well, the guy has made his decision. He's just waiting to get back to his former status and then tell her what she doesn't wanna hear. Before i marry anyone, We gonna sign those papers o. i don't wanna be a slave in ma own house. You get exactly what you put in, i don't wanna have a divorced family but one gotta face reality. I like independent women who can make their own investments and think of the future like my mum does, but let's face facts, in this our country right now, 90% of our women don't have that mentality. Sad bt true! |
Family / Re: Divorce Settlement And Child-Support Be Introduced In Nigeria? by Insanity(m): 9:00pm On Jan 14, 2013 |
baby_123: i like Uя healthy argument wif the other guy on this thread. Its quite commendable. Personally, i agree with the child support issue but on the divorce settlement, i believe its only fair to share the funds 50/50 only if the success was achieved as a union. Example, am working and ma wife is working , We make investments as a family, its only fair to share after divorce. i don't want a housewife, i'll contribute in all d ways possible bt she aint staying@home. Whatever success i achieved on ma own before the unioun is ma own and will not be shared. What do you have to say to this; In most marriages in this country, you see the hubby taking care of his in law's problem, funding her siblings' educational fees, taking care of her parents etc you can't expect such man to still settle her after divorce, that's not just fair. |

Nnamdini: mine is 24 but from the comments,u can easily know the mindsets of nairalanders as regards movies Very shallow analysis.Personally, i'll say you don't know much about movies, you don't know the art in acting and trying to convey a very deep message. Saying OTH is for childish pple says a lot about you, a movie that checks all the box in the realities of life; Love, hate, betrayal, evil, friends, family, career, decision making, anger, marriage, sex etc You'll learn a lot from that movie. You'll probably put 'Entourage' in the childish pple category, wow! FYI, a movie is a work of art. Personally, the best movie i've ever watch is 'Legends of the Fall', but am guessing you 'll fall asleep while watching it 'cuz you'll be too shallow to understand what it's really all about. Don't categorize pple with youя own opinion 'cuz Uя view might just be wrong. |

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / The Hypocrisy Of Wenger's 'socialist' Arsenal Wage Structure-true Or False? by Insanity(m): 8:30am On Jan 13, 2013 |
“We pay well. We pay very well. I’ve spent all my life making sure people who work for us are paid well and I believe if you can do it, you do it,” said Arsene Wenger last week, towards the end of one of football’s most drawn-out contract sagas where the Arsenal manager did everything he could not to pay Theo Walcott well. Or at least as well as the player wanted. Eventually Wenger, for the most part, gave into the 23-year-old’s demands, who is primed to sign a £90,000-a-week contract imminently. The new deal will make Walcott the club’s second highest earner – but still a far cry from the massive salaries offered at other clubs which have been heavily criticised by the Frenchman in the past. “We have no players on £200,000-a-week,” added the 63-year-old. “We have a more socialist model.” But Wenger's notion of a "socialist model" seems at odds with the club's facts and figures. In an era of double-dip recessions and austerity measures, applauding a salary cap that nevertheless sees the north London club pay around £150 million-a-year in wages – the fourth highest in the Premier League – seems totally at odds with the idea. As does prefixing a six-figure salary with the word “only”, as in, Lukas Podolski “only” earns £100,000-a-week. Arguably even more significantly, Wenger seems to have excluded himself from the socialist model he extols too, picking up a salary in excess of £7m-a-year, including bonuses, making him the highest-paid manager in the Premier League - including 12-time title winner Sir Alex Ferguson. In fact, the only active managers who currently earn more are Real Madrid’s Jose Mourinho, Guangzhou’s Marcelo Lippi and PSG’s Carlo Ancelotti. Despite Walcott engaging in a year’s worth of exhaustive contract haggling, the ex-Southampton player’s new deal will still only earn him £2.5m-a-year less than his manager. Wenger, then, is a champagne socialist, preaching that which he does not practice himself. The gap between Wenger's salary and that of his players is more marked than at any other club in the world, not least at the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester City, Paris St Germain where the star attractions - Cristiano Ronaldo, Yaya Toure and Zlatan Ibrahimovic - all earn significantly more than their respective managers. But not Wenger. Is that a symptom of Arsenal’s absence of a star player deserving of earning an intergalactic salary, or has Wenger packaged a more totalitarian, self-rewarding capitalist system as “socialism”? There are inherent flaws to Wenger’s ideology too, given that it relies on the assumption that all players are equal, which they patently are not. Walcott, Arsenal’s leading scorer (both in the league and all competitions), earned only marginally more than perennially injured centre-back Johan Djourou and perma-disaster Sebastien Squillaci prior to agreeing his new contract. Now, the winger-cum-striker will earn more than the classier, more influential Spanish duo of Santi Cazorla and Mikel Arteta. Wenger says his philosophy is “to pay something that makes sense and is defendable in front of every single player” – but that is impossible within such a tight wage construct. Instead, all Wenger’s ideology does is anchor brilliance to mediocrity and taper the amount that can be paid to players of genuine quality – or the funds available to keep it in north London, as with Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie. The likes of Marouane Chamakh and Andre Santos have spent recent years in the same wage bracket as Walcott, earning £60,000-a-week, with deals offered to profoundly average players that not even free-spending, cash-rich Manchester City would green-light. By way of comparison, Manchester United's Danny Welbeck, who represented England at the Euros, earned just £15,000-a-week until rewarded with a new deal last August. At Arsenal, there’s absurdly little disparity between the top-end and bottom-end earners, between the experienced veterans and the upcoming youngsters, between the quality players and the not-so-quality players. Chief executive Ivan Gazidis has profited from Wenger’s faux-socialism too, raking in a £675k bonus on top of his £1.36m annual salary for overseeing another trophy-less season at the north London club and selling off prized assets to domestic and foreign rivals. As is so often the case, it is the fans who lose out. Arsenal have not won a trophy in over seven years, yet the cost of seeing their side outstrips any other club. This week, Manchester City returned a third of their allocation for their weekend clash with the Gunners, ironic given the finances of the Abu Dhabu-bankrolled club compared to the supposed monetary morals of Wenger’s socialist Arsenal. At Borussia Dortmund – where football is “more than a business,” according to chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke, and fans are put first – a season ticket in the iconic 'Yellow Wall' at the Signal Iduna Park costs £154. At the Emirates, admittedly with more games included in the package, the absolute cheapest season ticket on offer costs £985 with the most expensive costing £1,955. Socialism, eh? Wenger, then, is like a kind of warped, inverted Robin Hood, taking from the north London club’s largely affluent fanbase and redistributing those funds among his band of (mediocre) Merry Men/Kids; but, rather than giving to the poor, the Frenchman withholds the largest share of the spoils for himself. While the club scrimp and save, charging extortionate rates for tickets and refusing to spend big on transfers, the only benefactors are Arsenal’s overpaid and unexceptional squad players and the bank accounts of Messrs Gazidis and Wenger. And the longer Wenger’s great socialism smokescreen continues, the greater the likelihood that Arsenal fans will continue to experience more trophyless years to come. http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2013/01/10/3661169/the-hypocrisy-of-wengers-socialist-arsenal-wage-structure?ICID=HP_MR_5 1 Like
