Sports › Re: Manchester City Offers Messi A Bumper €750m - 5 Years Contract by jelel6: 1:09pm On Aug 31, 2020

Kulas:
My club Man City still remain the richest in the world. While I like Messi to join us,Pep should also know that the most important thing city is lacking is strong defence. They need to work on their defence and source for a strong defenders.

I'm not a City fan but I know City's executives know football. I'm sure they'll buy defenders. Specifically, they'll sign Koulibaly from Napoli.

City can spend more than €200 million on transfer this year and still not enter Uefa's FFP net. The rules has been reduced this year because of the Pandemic.

Gerrard59:
China is richer than every African country. Heck, she is a major lender to these countries. How many black dominated countries can be compared to China? You might call it inferiority complex or whatever but globally, a Chinese is more respected than a random black person except when it's discovered that the black person is an American or British. The consequences for disrespecting a Chinese far outweighs that of a black person. Currently, many companies kowtow to Chinese leaders and her people, how many global companies kowtow to Africans? It's because Africans are poor! No has to like a black person rather what ought to be done is respect which is earned by proffering value, something the vast majority of black countries ditto people aren't doing. Racial discrimination like any other form of discrimination will continue to exist because humans are naturally discriminatory but there is a limit which can be done when the other party contributes invaluable portion.

Among ourselves, this message should be pasted on the wall of every home. I think when the bitter truth comes to us from one of us, we can try to ACCEPT any part of it that can help us GROW.

The "Mentally superior" Chinese should know that.

Don't play the religious card like other countries who are highly religious don't prosper. I don't understand if that's suppose to make you smarter than Religious folks by default.

You are correct bro.There are so many people in Nigeria with great talents but our leader's eyes are
all closed,their only aim in life is how to steal,steal and steal,acquiring all the wealth for theirself and their future generation.
I will always say this.Nigeria does not make life easier for people.
If Anthony Joshua was in Nigeria,who will know him,the one he is popular now
Ikorudu bois are trying to mimic movies to get the government attention but the government are not interested in stuffs like that,and Americans are seeing their good work.
I heard of a Nigerian girl aged 10 in i think the UK,that teaches students how to code,what will be her case if she was in Nigeria
There are many Nigerian abroad that are making exploits,I don't think it will be the same if they were in Nigeria.
Students come out of school and with their innovative mindset,they make/invent something.
Nigeria's company will see things like this,instead of calling this students/graduates,they turn deaf ears and a good country that likes innovative minds will see this guy/girl and invited them to come to their country and the rest is history.
Bad leadership is killing us and dumb brains giving authority to manage a country with over 206 million people is destroying us.
Tony Elemulu went for the post of being the President of Nigeria but Nigerians did not see him rather they voted for a dumb man that did not go to sch as our President.
We are in a corrupted world but I know Tony Elemulu is far far better than Buhari

So you expect the government to give Ikorodu Bois handouts because they make films? That's not an obligation of any government. The road side street hawker deserves just as much attention as them.

However, that's where Nigeria still live in the dark ages. Netflix who gave those boiz filming equipment are a private organisation. We have similar establishment in this country, so why are you focusing on the government. Things like that are most times part of most company's social responsibility.

If you believe our problems starts and end with whoever is the president, you're probably still not ready for change.

Programming › Re: CS Holders Can't Do Jack Shit And ST Developers Are Delusional(my Opinion) by jelel6: 5:18pm On Jun 29, 2020

Basically, I think this type of arguments are not necessarily balanced because self taught learners naturally do so for the purpose of solving a specific problem. Whereas, a CS curriculum is geared towards given an 'overview' of a large field.

Now, out of the school walls, what companies or technology demands is usually Specialist Knowledge that'll help solve problems in given niches. While a fresh CS grad has many 'basic' knowledge of everything, they can't make any meaningful impact unless they have 'indepth' knowledge about something. Besides, they soon find out that the majority of the techniques and theories taught in school finds little application in the real world. Schools are slow in updating curriculum under any field even in the western world. Besides, no school curriculum can keep up with the fast-paced world of technology and computing because it's driven by specialist tech giants. Some of the problems these guys are facing cannot be solved by 19st century solutions. Technology is in the 22nd century.

Now, I know the big companies in the west probably have substantial amount of CS grads in their tech teams. But they don't usually make it a 'must have'. They still administer the same tests and evaluation to all applicants. Hence, they don't necessarily believe only a CS grad is capable of 'problem solving'

Whether you're a self taught programmer or a CS schooled software developer, you're still going to work with tools already in existence in the industry. Nobody needs you to reinvent the wheels. There's much still to be done by using the tools programmers invent.

You're a problem solver if you create a landing page for a client. You're also a problem solver if you create a new operating system. There's no law that says the ability to create a compiler can only be acquired going through the entire CS curriculum or vice versa.

The tech community will recognize and appreciate your efforts if you built a new framework or piece of software. Perhaps, maybe
you develop a new sorting algorithm that makes the one Google is currently using look like child's play? Good for you. Nobody gives a damn whether you have a certificate or not.

I think people are just scared that we finally have a field where 'certificate' can truly feel like what it essentially is, a piece of paper. The knowledge is important of course. But the certification means nothing really because it's a result based World. Hence, since there's no monopoly in knowledge, any Interested party can readily acquire it without necessarily going to school.

Programming › Re: Why Do Self Taught Programmers Over Exaggerate by jelel6: 3:02pm On Jun 28, 2020

Oops!!! I almost didn't see this interesting discuss. This can be a potentially long post... wink

A lot of interesting things have been said by those arguing for both sides. I think some of the disagreements are not really present or necessary as it has to do with 'semantics'. I don't think or see these things as a 'better than' or 'more than' argument. Hence, a Computer science knowledge will come in handy for many situations and circumstances likewise a 'self taught' will work for other situations or circumstances.

Now, computer science is synonymous with Information and communications technology (ICT) in many ways. The internet, is the fastest growing sphere in the modern world. So many of our lives as it is, is shaped as technology dictates. Now, I think it's foolhardy to believe a 4 year study in "Any" University, will make you an authority in every and any specialty under ICT

Computer science can be theoretical and very practical at the same time. Technology is where theories meet practice. Most of the things and techniques being taught in many schools, including the USA and Europe, does not prepare the CS grad for live in the Industry. Before, you come for me, take a minute and read similar opinions of Industry leaders on platforms like Medium and Quora.

Besides, how can a 4 year school curriculum encompass the fast-paced Internet/technology world as we have today? They don't teach or focus enough on an area to be of any 'specific' value to a company 'fresh out of school'. They'll still need to learn 90% of what they'll need to be ready to contribute to a company out of school or 'on the job!' That's how it is happening in the western world. And many CS grads are usually honest to say so themselves.

We can't all have a CS certificate. But we can all have the Knowledge. Free of charge. The major difference between how a CS students uses that knowledge during their stay in school is strikingly different from how a company NEEDS an employee to utilize that knowledge. You only need to know enough to get the job done, when the need arises. And not be a theorist for many years without knowing when or if there'll ever be a real life use cases for all that knowledge. That's just the system, not an attack on the CS persons. Just that with so many things to learn, studying so many things you may not ever use (highly likely in software/tech) doesn't seem like the best use of time.

I agree the moderators could do more to clamp down on problematic threads and opinions, but taking the necessary steps to do that is not going to be in the best interest of Seun. And if you can't see that from his perspective business-wise then you're not ready to affect any change.

One of the reasons why the forum thrive is because people could really show their innermost selfs. What you see on Nairaland is a valid representation of the Nigerian mentality and society to a large extent. The changes most of you suggested won't fix the problems, perhaps only hide it.

I think the forum was best when it started. Most of the novel discussions where from that time. And more valuable sections like education, career, programming, etc; saw enough activities. Now, people rather comment on what Chioma wore on Sunday to Davido's rehearsal than on a topic like this.

Whatever you find Nairaland you'll see. You just have to know where to look. I'll only prefer they make less valuable topics, news, and opinions harder to find for the sake of our society.

Sports › Re: Pogba's Volleyed Pass To Rashford: Fans Go Wild On Social Media by jelel6: 5:35pm On Jun 20, 2020

It was a nice pass to be honest. To hit a ball on the volley with such technique is difficult and Pogba seem to do it accurately more times than not.

Only if Pogba can truly become a 'proper' midfield player. I think what Pogba needs is a team that he's going to be just another player. Everyone expects things from him that he can't provide consistently.

In a team like Madrid he'd be just another midfield player and he won't be better than everybody. That'll help him perform without huge expectations.

He won't fit Barca. He shouldn't ever try to move there. He's not needed in City too and won't fit Pep's style. Besides, if you have the game's most outstanding attacking midfielder/orchestrator in KDB, you don't need anyone else.

Juve, PSG will work for him too. But he can be a better player at United should he stay. Fernandes is a 'proper' midfield player and Pogba can and should learn from him.

Family › Re: What Keeps A Marriage Together - Love Or Respect? by jelel6: 9:11pm On Jun 10, 2020

LordKO:
LOL. I didn't say that respect is dependent of love, instead I say respect, just like care, fancy, trust, loyalty, etc, is an end product of the constituents of love - selflessness and humility, as attributes, are the constituents of love. So, love is encompassing, which means the mentioned end products (respect, trust, loyalty, care, etc) are the individual things that make up love - the big/action love.

Each of the end products alone cannot guarantee a healthy marriage/romantic relationship - e.g. the girl you said you have deep respect for but don't love her. Once more, love is encompassing.

Meanwhile, don't forget that there's a thin difference between respectfulness and respect.

The bolded hits home. And frankly, many people never get to reach the point where that big word LOVE starts, if we take the above as a 'definition' somewhat.

With love coming first or Respect?

One doesn't necessarily have to come first. But people can fall in love without knowing whether the person is trustworthy or not.

You see people say he/she did this and that but I still love him/her. The reasons we love people are not always sensible. Respect and Trust is what brings rationality and structure into any relationship.

But let's be sincere, if Enyimba or Rangers should have a line up of Five Chinese, 2 Europeans and three Tunisians will We Nigerians complain?
If and when we complain, will we be tagged Racists?

He could have argued his point without coming across as been racist. In his statement, he referenced skin color as a basis. Hence, if all Mainz team features white from European countries, he won't complain that the club is lacking identify.

If he'd complained that few Germans play in the first team because the clubs have neglected youths and prefer to buy ready made foreign players, nobody will raise an eyebrow.

As for your question, obviously, Nigerians are tribalistic, and if we had it better in a sector, will definitely complain about too many 'whites'.

LordKO:
Love - the big/action love which its feminine variation is submission. Love is a compound word/entity that is literally meaningless without its constituents, selflessness and humility (which are attributes) - it is encompassing. Respect/disrespect is one of end products of the constituents of love/lack of it. Saneness is a constant.

However, if you are talking about the smaller love (soft spot or fancy), it's fickle.

Your knockouts no be here oh cheesy

However, on a serious note; are you saying respect is dependent on love?

That's odd I think. The girl I have had the deepest respect for I never loved. If I'm to pick a woman to marry blindly, I'd be her 100%.

There's a baseline respect I think every human should accord their fellow Human. However, some individuals are able to earn a deeper level of respect from people, mostly because these individuals mirror their shared values and/or outlook of life.

Hence, I believe married folks could fall out of love for each other and still have peace and a work-like relationship if they respect the other person.

For me though, the ideal marriage is built on love-trust-respect. Couples in it have the best chance of finding fulfilment.

It's well with you!

I'm also exposed to a Computer Screen, like 80% of a normal day. I Usually have irritations mostly with the right eye, feels very uncomfortable after prolong exposure. I then have to use eye drops to ease the irritations. I see clearly with both eyes and I don't think or have any eye problem.

I'm just worried about the screen glare. do you use eye glasses now when using a computer? Whatever you thoughts are about this I'll appreciate.
And also, did the doctor actually linked you nearsightedness with prolong exposure to a Computer's screen, or you came to such conclusion yourself?

Reading your story, I'm only impressed about two things.

1. She came on time to the venue.
2. She offered to pay part of the bill even though you were the one who invited her on the date.

Why that is impressive is that it means she's got values and morals about what is right and wrong. And she expresses such values through her actions.

Hopefully, she keeps upholding such values even when people don't reciprocate such gestures to her. Because you Op have no personal values you live by. You only remember to respect yourself when you're forced to.

Well, you don't have to be an engineer and pregnant to be in need of a sick leave.

Equality means absence of discrimination, bias and sexism. It means having same opportunities and rights and also freedom.

To be honest, I don't like such threads. They escalate too quickly. I am not even actively dedicated to the cause for different reasons but I don't like to read misinformed comments.

I think you are pretty fair though.

That's an acceptable definition of equality on the surface. But when we begin to pick and apply it on a case by case basis, we soon find out what we truly should clamour for is not equality, but equity and fairness

Are any two individual truly EQUALS? whether two male and female? Because the way most define equality, they really mean we should give people equal REWARDS. Sadly, no society can truly strive on that. Even if we do that, we invariably become unfair to another party.

Going by your definition, (we are not to consider fairness, we just give them equal rewards or opportunities irrespective of glaring circumstantial differences) lets assume in a fictitious state, the law says every citizen is entitled to collect a Mango fruit directly from the tree 15 meters high. As every child is born, the state rewards them with a 5 meter stick. Hence, they need only to grow 5 metres to Collect their birth right. You and I know not everyone of those children will get to claim thier birthrights. That's EQUALITY. But not JUSTICE, EQUITY or FAIRNESS.

I've intentionally not make any reference to gender thus far. I'm not for gender bais.

Personally, I was surprised when I discovered that the actress playing the role of Queen Elizabeth on the television series the crown was paid way less than her co-star, who played her husband. That was not right and clearly, she was the focal point of the show and her reward should have reflected that.

Now, you can figure what I think when the U.S Women football team demands equal pay with the mens team.

I can only wonder if you think they should be paid equally here too.
