Whilst an adult can give informed consent, animals cannot.

Take that into account.

I'd ask it what the question was to the answer 42.

musKeeto

And they locked your thread.

Shame to bad people.

#showkey

Im sorry but I fail to see whats wrong with the OP (apart from the fact that he might have a bad camera).

The worst are the girls condemning him but swoon over illiterates with a fat account. For the guys, stop beefing the OP. Be proud of your kegs

ipunchbitches:
Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do
any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all- wise, somehow just can't handle money!

This is George Carlin.
Kindly reference at all times!

DProDG:
Isn't that a good thing?

Well, it can be seen as insensitive, depending on your point of view.

ayoola190:
I heard that a 2:2 graduate with masters degree cannot be employed as a lecturer unless with a doctorate degree. Please how true is this and how can I make my way into lecturing profession??

I think this should be the right place to ask this question.

It is true.

To make your way into academic, you need to possess a 2:1 (minimum requirement for a Graduate Assistant). You will be required to obtain a Masters degree withing four years of appointment.

If you do not have a 2:1, you will need a 2:2, a masters degree and a PhD. With that, you can be employed as Lecturer 2.

LoooL

the only card game naija peeps know is "whot".

CoCoLav:
Firstly, as nice as a trip to the carribean sounds, I never went on any vacation.

Secondly, you still haven't asked nicely, you only gave me reasons why you didn't.

Thirdly, you didn't come early to the thread so take punctuality prefect off it.

Finally, I don't need help nor company from a guy who insists I cut grass

Ah, well it means the rumours were wrong.

Third, I did come quite early to the thread. I posted immediately after the OP.
Finally, all I ask for is equal opportunity. I personally wont ask you to cut grass but the rules of the school . . .

Secondly, I think I'll skip the gum for now, Im hungry and it will make matters worse.

CoCoLav:
First of all, who appointed you class monitor?
Secondly, insisting I share my gum with you is bullying, you could have asked nicely
Thirdly, no I do not see where you are going with your self imposed leadership :p
It is against every rule known to mankind for girls to cut grass

Well, you hadnt resumed when I was appointed. You were still vacationing on some Caribbean Island. Just ask the other members of the class.

Secondly, I didnt want you to turn me down if I asked for gum so I didnt ask directly. Im asking now.

Third, well not sure, possibly head boy in final year or maybe punctuality prefect.

Finally, girls should cut grass too. I could keep you company while you're at it (maybe even help a little).

CoCoLav:
How about they practice it on you first?
Girls don't cut grass BTW

Well see thats why Im class monitor, I write names of noise makers, they get punished and so on. Now you could have shared that gum with me but you chose not to. You see where Im going with this.

Girls can cut grass too. The school is not sexist so why exclude girls from grass cutting?

CoCoLav:
What right do you have to tell the principal what kind of punishment should obtain in his school?

Im not sure what right I have but I saw the suggestion box near his office. Is that a good enough reason?

CoCoLav:
Sorry, this is a tu.sh school
We only serve detention

So the word tus.h is censored just wow!!!

Oh yes, NL filters will get you.

Now back to the school, no detention here oh. I am going to see the principal about that. There will be toilet washing, grass cutting and good ole spankings. You shouldnt be denied the kind of education the rest of us got.

CoCoLav:
Write na.
After all they will only beat me. They won't cut my hand and give to you

Ah, so you're not afraid of a caning. Ok, I will tell them to give you grass to cut.

CoCoLav:
How did you see me?
Concentrate on your work and don't distract me

Ah, ok I'll be writing names of noise makers then.

Good one @joywendy

CoCoLav , stop chewing gum in class

CoCoLav:
@the bolded....funny but true.

I tried to learn it on my own but all I have learnt so far is that the pawns should be used first.

Well yes, you usually move your center pawns first to create room for your pieces to move out and conquer. Your opponent also tries to do the same thing so you have to outwit him strategically.

CoCoLav:
Not when your kid brother keeps beating you.
Okay, will search for it Asap

Lol, then get revenge and whoop his behind.

Reminds me of a funny meme "My computer beat me at chess but it was no match for me at kick boxing".

Joshthefirst:
I suppose you have the open to learning sort of mind eh?

I do.

CoCoLav:
It seems you are a guru.
Off to get interesting facts about Monopoly..


I just always lose I don't know why.
I guess I am not tactical.

Still waiting for your facts

Oh, and losing is the best way to get better.

Leave South Park alone oh, they are brutal. They ridicule all religions. Ask Isaac Hayes!

CoCoLav:
No I don't.

The first chess game played between space and earth was on June 9, 1970 by the Soyez-9 crew. The game ended in a draw.

An old puzzle: If you put one grain of wheat on the first square of the chessboard, two on the second, four on the third, eight on the fourth, and so on, how many grains of wheat do you need to put on the 64th square? The answer is 9,223,372,036,8 54,775,808(appr oximately 9.22x10 18 ) grains of wheat. That's a lot of nutrition.

The folding chessboard was invented by a priest who was forbidden to play chess. The priest found a way around it by making a folding chessboard. When folded together and put ona bookshelf, it simply lookslike two books.

Kirk and Spock have played chess three times on the show Star Trek. Kirk won all three games.

Some interesting facts arent they?

https://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/blindfolded-chess.jpg

Blindfold chess is real and documented in world records. It is as it sounds: a player makes all of his or her moves without looking at a board. Usually there is a “middle man” of sorts to give and receive moves for the game.

Blindfold chess is an impressive skill that many stronger chess players possess. It certainly requires a keen ability to see the board clearly, which can get difficult after many moves. The record was set in 1960 in Budapest by Hungarian Janos Flesch, who played 52 opponents simultaneously while blindfolded – he won 31 of those games.

By the way, the lady playing blindfolded is Judit Polgar, a Hungarian woman who is the strongest female player ever. She only plays in mens events and at one time she was in the top ten strongest chess players in the world. The only woman to achieve that.

yemicoal:
, if you v been following the story, he posted the picture of a jeep and said it was up for grabs not this

Not true.

He said his garage was full of machines and he wanted to give one out. I didnt even need to reopen the page to remember that. There were jeeps in the picture but he never said that he wanted to give any of them out.

CoCoLav:
Monopoly rules!!!
But I have mad respect for chess players.

Hmm.

Do you play chess? I'd have challenged you to take it up but chess has a way of taking over a person. Those who really play know what I am talking about.

Im surprised that no one has pointed out that the shroud of turin is widely held in scientific circles to be a forgery.

In addition, a clone is not the same as the thing/person it was cloned from.

... if you believed something as fact, why would you even entertain the notion of an alternative? Ironic...

Isnt that the difference between a mind open to learning as opposed to one closed by dogma? Blind faith?

My people perish from lack of knowledge.

So The Agric Students in FUTO didn't realize that water could be found in some trees? Birch and Oak Trees are some of them. The so-called "Miracle tree" could be among that category of trees.
You can find a clip here of how water could be tapped from trees.

Miracle ko, magic ni.

How about Geography and Geology students? Shouldnt they know better as well?

The River Ethiope in Delta State has its source from a tree as I was told.

Knowwing biology is a must, of course. Even if the doctor's understanding of evolution is zero, however, they can still practice sound(ish) medicine.

This? Even after I have told you that his practice is not the issue?

Damn!

undercat:
I don't think a medical doctor needs to have good knowledge of the theory of evolution, or to even agree with it, in order to do his job well.

No he doesnt.

Thats not even the point. The point is that he IS scientifically inclined/trained. The question he asked can only be asked by someone who has the barest understanding of evolution. That is the point. A doctor who should have extensive knowledge of biology asks a kindergarten question in trying to disprove evolution.

Or would you say a doctor shouldnt have a good knowledge of biology?

Last night, I was having drinks with a friend who happens to be a medical doctor.

Before he arrived on the scene and joined us, I stated that if only Pastors had some basic knowledge of science, perhaps some damage could be averted. Well my friend comes and somehow revives the conversation and states that evolution is false. He asks how come there are still monkeys if evolution is true.

My right eye still hurts from the facepalm.

I am becoming increasingly convinced that we have some of the daftest Nigerians as moderators. The front page is a full scale advert of our lack of cerebral capacity.

Types of people you meet at Bank Doors?
https://www.nairaland.com/2137821/types-people-meet-bank-doors

Seun, Nairaland is not a local page. Lots of people see the United States as God's own land, not because it is perfect but because it is portrayed as perfect in all their media. From Hollywood movies to rap music where you never see the abundant obese girls that litter the land, instead you are made to believe that all girls are glamour models.

When our "Nollywood" focuses on showing how evil and corrupt we are and how deeply into ritual practices we are, is it any wonder that we are objects of hate in other African Nations? Why wont they think that the average Nigerian is a ritual murderer waiting to kidnap one of them?

The idiocy on the front page of Nairaland is staggering and keeps increasing. Are you tolerating it because you want to drive traffic or you simply do not care that your people look like dunces to the outside world?
