DeOTR:
Absolute BS. Corruption cases should not sentence lighter than life imprisonment, and recovering of every penny stolen with interest, but here we are serving concurrent prison sentence to a complete thief. The 75 years is actually less than 10 according to this report. What's this for God sake?

Read again, it is going to be served consecutively, and not concurrently.

Do people even realise that this ship was seized around Venezuela as a result of the rising tension between US and Venezuela (a country with the highest proven oil reserve in the world). A country under sanction from the US for decades probably looking for ways to trade its sanctioned oil industry.

*hint: Trump currently wants regime change in Venezuela, hiding under excuse of fighting against importation of illicit drug. Mexico and Colombia export more drugs to the US, so why the focus on Venezuela? Your guess is as good as mine.

This has next to nothing to do with Nigeria other than disputable details for place of registration.

They are so smart, it is not legal to train and keep them as pet in America (i think), simply because they can be trained/used to carry out illegal activities.

I came close with the movie "Schindler's List"

This is how "historical texts" are born. In the next 150 years, another author will build on this as history, or sight this as the historical text upon which his/her work is based.

A Senator recently proposed a bill on indeginous status being conferred on anybody who resideds in a location for 10 years at least.
If these two go on for a century, i bet new history will actually be formed

God bless u

The only people supporting obi on this rubbish are his blind followers who don't know about economy.

Buhari paid subsidy till june n there was no provision for subsidy n a new president will b sworn in by may, so if obi were to b d new president where will he get d money to pay subsidy?

Which country or body will give a newly elected president loan?


Like seriously I don't see those obedient people as intelligent at all

They just swallow everything hook line n sinker


No wonder they believe Buhari was cloned without knowing d meaning of cloning

A slight correction in your write up. "Buhari owed subsidy till June 2023". He had not paid any subsidy to NNPC that year.

It seems clearer in the Yoruba language.

Ẹ kásán (good afternoon), Ẹ kúrọ̀lẹ́ (good evening), Ẹ kalẹ́ (good night, but in the Yoruba language, it is a greeting of contact and not farewell greeting like in English language), then Ó dàárọ̀ (until morning, serving the farewell greeting in Yoruba language as against the English "goodnight" greetings).

I guess in this regard, one could say the English language is limited when compared to our cultural language, or the English language seems limited because our expectations from it is rooted in our own culture.

So, you can not greet someone "good night" and still remain in their presence, and "good evening" can be used from 4:00pm to 11:59pm it seems. Also, one can greet "good night" from 4:00pm, provided you do not expect to see such person till the following day.

DrAda:
When I stated earlier that zelensky is now facing two bullies, a good number of you felt differently. I hope this post has made it clearer

People mostly forgot that Trump was impeached because of Zelensky in his first term. So, Trump might also have that against Zelensky.

Really sad to see people's response on this matter.
Nigerians want to build castle in the air.
How can we in large numbers vehemently oppose people doing or trying to do the right things, or make the person out to be foolish for trying to do right, and we want a good country?
The people need to be upright if the country is to be upright.

Good day.

As the topic states, a logistic company within Lagos is in need of riders (motorbike).
Kindly send a message to safefirstcontact@yahoo.com if you are interested.

One thing the OP forgot to also talk about is the engine displacement. A 4 cylinder engine that has 3500cc (3.5L) for instance will most likely consume more fuel than a V6 engine with a 2500cc (2.5L) displacement.

Blinkers:
Only violence can match violence. It's the only language bullies understand and back off from, immediately.

There is not much of a difference in physical strength when women are compared with men. The only things limiting women are their minds (social and psychological conditioning from birth) and the phenotypic expression of the hormone, Testosterone.

In fact, research proved that women have lower body strength than men, but the upper body strength from the shoulders to the lower groin give men a upper hand as it is the most visible.

You are almost as strong as a man. The obstacle is in your mind.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you should go fight a man and get your face pummeled! Lol. The greatest advantage men have had over women is that they have been conditioned into expressing themselves physically with some level of aggression being tolerated with terms like "they are just boys". Women are conditioned from their childhood as girls to be the opposite: Docile and Gentle. In a way, it's good for the balance of characters in the specie. If ladies were allowed such freedom of physical expression and violence as girls being raised with their fellow boys, these men would be no match for the women.

Check out wild cats like lionesses. They lead and inspire the hunt and lionesses with high level of violence raise successful cubs than their docile counterparts

Aside your submission about men and women, your submission on a pride of Lion and Lionesses is also wrong.
The Lion is the actual physical strength of the pride, the lionesses do the hunting just like women do the cooking. This does not connote they are stronger than the lion. If you know much about their strengths, you will know that when a bigger /stronger animal (prey) needs to be taken down, the lionesses need and require the strength of the lion...

NwaAmaikpe:




Of all the police forces I know, the Nigerian police is about the least tactical.
This is an ill-thought out display of ignorance.

Couldn't this demonstration be done for them alone? Because to the best of my incomplete knowledge, such evil ingenuity shouldn't be for the public's consumption in a country where most people are going rouge.

In the hunger to show the press that they're working, they've shown millions of potential robbers and kidnappers how to conceal two AK47s.

SMH.

You are right...

That should have been another secret knowledge for the police, places they should search in suspected vehicles.
They have also succeeded in showing other criminals where not to conceal weapons...

imam07:
your judgment on US is just based on hatred just like other people out there. US is the world police and there is nothing anyone can do about it. U are here boasting of NK power but why did d NK later soft pedal when Trump showed him the threat. Forget all what u are saying, NK president just wants to be stubborn like his father. All wht Trump was doing is just to prevent world threatening weapons to get into the wrong hands. Displaying or testing of nuclear weapons in order show the world is only stupidity. When have u seen US military trying to test weapons of mass destruction. They don't need that. To you NK is a threat to the US based on your hatred. Whether we like it or not, there is nothing we can do about it. Anyone that has the same ideology with the terrorists always use war and weapons in his terms. No wonder most Arab countries are breeding terrorists. An Arab minded person will always support NK against the US.

These below are info on weapon tests..
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapons_testing
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States%27_nuclear_weapons_tests

Now, that both countries have different weapons test timeline does not make a "late comer" wrong for doing it...

Ayajmaster01:
See another animal in human skin, you will just come on nairaland and be showing your senseless attitude, I wonder what pain you have caused your families with this type of misinterpretation. Well Your father which is Buhari didn't said they will be punished, He said they will pay with their lives. Now do you tink ballot box snatching is that really common in Nigeria again? Nigerian have advanced in rigging than snatching ballot boxes like president said. The president is using idea to tell his soldier boys to intimidate electorate in the name of ballot box snatching, I pray your family doesn't happen to be a victim of this, then you will understand the true motive behind the statement on election day. If you know what really happen in osun and Ekiti, then you will know what's behind that statement

What happened in Ekiti please?

PassingShot:
You're childish and petty. If you had a functioning brain, what you should be addressing is the corrected post and not the one with errors. But because you think you're so "smart" in your thinking/deeds, you quoted the correct version and started venting your frustration about life.

Is it my fault your life is miserable?

Now, i'm miserable, childish and petty for calling out your ignorant post?
The thing is, you edited your post while i was typing, that's the only reason it seemed i made an error. That doesn't still change the fact that you posted ignorantly. The issue is, next time, make sure you do your findings before you post publicly, because what you posted does not have to do with your opinion, it's about figures that are factually obtainable, not just a number you can just cook up in your mind... That's the ignorance i'm addressing.

PassingShot:
[s][/s]
Go back to the post you quoted and come back with something more sensible.

You spoke ignorantly and went back to make corrections after you were corrected, just acknowledge that and try not to be mischievous.
What i wrote earlier still applies to the fact that you didn't know what you were talking about.
A picture of your earlier post i quoted before you changed it is attached. Good thing others quoted it successfully before you can deny your statement.

PassingShot:
Strike is not always the solution. It should ONLY be used where every attempt at resolving issues has FAILED.

NLC was wrong on this particular case. Negotiations were still ongoing and a deadlock had not been declared. After all, the triparte committee had even promised to reconvene before the strike action was embarked upon.

If any government has shown seriousness to the welfare of the Nigerian workers, it is this present FG.

This regime has approved and paid a lot of billions of naira it inherited from past governments (e.g, Nigerian Railways retirees, pensioners, 20 billion naira recently released for universities, etc.).

Lastly, NLC should not expect a minimum wage of N56k because not all states are even paying the current N18k minimum wage. I think N35 should be an ideal minimum wage (fyi, minimum wage is for entry level cleaner, driver, messenger, etc.) and each state should jerk it up as per their ability/resources.

You sound smart while talking ignorantly. It doesn't still change the fact that you are ignorant on this particular issue.
The Nigerian govt is never proactive, they always have to be pushed to do anything, if left alone will only address the issues pertaining to the elites alone.
If the govt has a proper economic policies that is favorable and drops the inflation rate that has refused to abide by the law of gravity, then you might be right to say increasing minimum wage might not be necessary, but govt haven't and you are wrong.
You also thought the minimum wage is 35,000 when it's still 18,000, and like you said 50,000 is the ideal for now, but to your ignorance, the NLC actually wants to get it to 45,000 from "18,000" it currently is.
Please think collectively before making public utterances, or at least, know what you are saying before you speak in public...

Is it me, or people don't think this questions are necessary, from all the comments so far.

I believe the op doesn't mean you sit your partner down with pencil and paper in a formal setting, it should come up in discussions of which both parties should answer, and it's not necessarily at once... For a serious minded relationship with perceived future, i think it's necessary, people shouldn't be afraid to ask questions. You should form some kind of relationship that you can talk about "almost" everything. The bane of any relationship is bad communication, and the pile of things that can not be discussed by each party...

In my little experience, non in marriage, i believe majority of issues the op listed should be discussed.

hush15:
Now tell me who gives greater sense of belonging. APC doing everything to chase members away if you down bow to them while PDP doing all it requires to protect one of their own to keep you even when they have the edge. There is a subtle message one can pick from this. PDP is more of a team player than APC anyday, anytime irrespective of the two parties craziness....

Is this what you think the country needs...?
Parties enticing their greedy members with the nation's wealth whenever they threaten to leave...?
Do you know what the country will sacrifice or have been sacrificing just to keep "aggrieved" party members?
Now the senators decamped due to their personal interest and nothing more.
I'm not a supporter of Buhari or the so-called main opposition (heck, i don't also want the man back) but, we must look at things objectively and make our inference...

It will actually be easier and most likely better if Nigeria practices 2 party system, by so doing the politicians would seriously weigh their options before jumping, as they can only move from one party to just another one, and not the numerous other options, or form their own party. This will actually curtail their excesses and the real politics will be within the party.

Note, the voting pattern of Nigerian political system is simply voting out the current bad, and not voting in the best option. This is as a result of not dividing the opposition votes in other to increase the chances of winning the incumbent (evident in the 2015 elections and the recent Ekiti state election).

AJJ17:
OBJ is no saint and he can make mistakes just like anybody but he still remain the best President Nigeria ever had.
Sometime I wonder how many people berates his performance during his tenure.
Someone here said he meant bad for the country and I ask how can someone who meant bad for the country upon becoming the president went beyond sentiments and tribal or political affiliations appointed best brains technocrats to chair sensitive sector of the country?,a decision that fetched him hatred among his kinsmen (yoruba folks)..he appointed an Economist with First class( Prof. Soludo) an Igbo man to lead the CBN and we all can testify to the reforms in the banking sector then, every graduates wants to work in the bank unlike today...he appointed Okonjo as the min of finance an Igbo woman to manage the country finances and we saw the developments ,our incredible debts were incredibly written off and left enough in our already depleted reserve,he appointed Okereke and igbo woman to lead the stock exchange, the stork market boomed , everyone wants to trade in stock,Forex markets trend then, guys were living large,he appointed Dora an Igbo woman as NAFDAC DG and we also witness her incredible great performance,he started the EFCC and made an Hausa man (Ribadu)with great integrity and intelligence to chair, I guess we all know the achievements (the fear of EFCC then),he appointed Ribadu as the FCT minister and we all know how abuja was trending then unlike now...with so many other names and achievements, remember these names were not the usual known names we were used to, they were not even politicians, it goes to show the Intention of OBJ to make Nigeria great by appointing best brains regardless of where they are from ..We cannot be too quick to forget how he made University lectures to earn more,what he did with telecoms ,pension scheme,employments was on the rise then in Nigeria,things were moving forward in Nigeria ,it might be at a slow pace,unlike now were we running fast backwards....Like I said he isn't a saint but he definitely meant well for Nigeria,...Yorubas hate him because he refused to do my brother my brother.....He still remains the best president we ever had sha,take it or leave it.

True what you said up there, but "Yorubas" don't hate him rather, some "Yorubas" dislike or hate him...

dynicks:
Nd this one calls herself a gospel artist!....smh!

The movie you got this picture is extremely hilarious... Especially this part...

Ginaz:
Oh thanks for you opinion. I appreciate it.

The thing is, we should not only think of ourselves when we are looking for a mate. We should look at their qualities if they are someone who can be emotionally interested in a child.

We have a hand in giving our children the best mother/father to the best of our abilities. I say *best* because it is not often times in our power to do that.

And as for my dad, he has started mending the fence between us which is awkward as hell.

I try to talk to him though, little by little we see how it goes.

I couldn't call him daddy, it felt like a heavy stone in my throat.

But I'm trying, and he is trying. And so far so good.

lovely...

Ginaz:
Lol...

I'm not predicting wealth, I'm not predicting husband, nor predicting marriage.

I'm only saying what i would do as a wife and a mother. Which doesn't needs predictions but mentality. What is so hard here now?

Isn't it what couples should do? Be emotionally supportive to one another? And as for the children, they should be carried along too?

I was stating mine as a challenge I must do cos I for one, knows what it feels like to be emotionally alone. And it makes me to relate more to my marital life.

So if you're thinking off point, you are on your own.

You've actually done well with your posts, nd i like... In your first post however, there was something you said you will give your children that i believe you can't..."a good dad that will invest in them emotionally". You can only try your best as a mother and wife and hope, by faith the husband does the good "fathering" for your children. Overall, i like your opinion and mindset.
With your father, i feel you should complete your "good mindset" by extending a positive one towards him... This plays a good role with your own marriage in the way you will see your husband...
Just my take.

Rozaytee:
I will never appreciate my dad

I doubt you will appreciate your husband too. You will simply recycle your feelings towards your husband to your children....

Funnily, this lady is not as huge as portrayed on her social media pictures, a lot of it is props and editing.... Seen her physically once, she's just a little bit above average, but because she's so short, she looks more round...

What an Imbecilic Inbred....there is time for everything.

davodyguy:
Caterpillar?

Simply put... Women with several total round folds on the body... Lol

This i think might just damage Prof. Pat Utomi's reputation as far as I'm concerned. He is one man i think would have had a good chance near future if he's not dragged into this whole short-sighed activities by ppl from the south-east...
My take tho...

snthesis:
the US and JAPAN are allies. now how do u check ur ally for carrying illegal equipment/ without straining the relationship, simple crash into the vessel and then during the investigtion you can test if your hunch/intel was correct or not ...

Exactly my thoughts, there could be an ulterior motive for that crash... The sea is wide and free, several equipment to detect vessels nearby on both ships, even if the naval ship was guarding the other vessel against pirates they don't do that at such close range that could crash Into the other.... There is more to the story.... You don't simply crash into another ship unknowingly on the sea, you can at a clustered harbour though....
