Travel / Re: Yearly Salary & Monthly Income After Tax Deductions In UK by liquidsnake: 10:20pm On May 04
Kemistri3:
Are you still interested in moving to the United Kingdom (UK) after seeing this?๐Ÿ˜€



Dr Olufunmilayo

Bro, you mumu die!!!


Take the first as an example:
20000 รท 12 = 1666. So I only paid 173 in income tax and go home with 1493. What doesn't make sense here?
Oh, your reasoning is faulty.

Now convert that to naira by the pounds exchange rate and tell me if you go ever make that much for Naija.

Health / Re: I Look Older Than My Age And It Is Really Affecting My Self Esteem by liquidsnake: 10:06am On Oct 22, 2021
Lenny22:
Hello Nairaland peeps, my friend is 23 but looks 28. This is really affecting his self esteem, he has lost quite a number of modelling gigs because most people think he reduced his age.
He developed facial hair at age 16 and started shaving at age 17. Due to the lack of proper shaving technique back then has resulted into hyper pigmentation. Is there any remedy?

Broooo!! I am welcoming your "friend" to the "Club of Early Maturity". Welcome!, friend of Nairaland.com-member!
This is my story:
I started growing facial hair when i was barely out of primary school. My head hair was so curly, the secondary school teachers thought i was using Sporting Wave Cream on my head, and at such an early age! What blasphemy! I was forced to cut my hair to the skin. When they saw how the hair regrew and the waves came back, i was set free. Another immediately took offence because i was growing moustache at an early age. My classmates changed my name to sound like hair (in Yoruba). All these happened before i finished JSS 3. I became very self conscious.
Nevertheless, I got to acquire a sense and look of maturity beyond my age. Many were not really sure of my age and were often thinking twice before attempting some weird jokes with me. It was a mixture of good and bad. But more of the good.
Tell your friend to try and see the good and not only the bad. It can be seen as a gift, as well as a problem. It all depends on his/her attitude towards life.

When life gives you lemons, make some lemonades with it.

Fashion / Why Do British (nigerian) Lawyers Still Wear Wigs? by liquidsnake: 5:43pm On Sep 01, 2020
Why Do British (and Nigerian) Lawyers Still Wear Wigs?

The drama of a criminal trial has a macabre allure. In America, strangers line up to enter courtrooms as spectators of high-profile proceedings. Those who can't be there in person watch live-streamed versions on televisions and tablets. And when there's downtime from real-life court battles, many turn instead to pseudo-fictional primetime portrayals.

But when was the last time you saw lawyer or judge wearing a powdered wig? While this isn't a tradition you'll find in America (excepting historic re-enactments), in England wigs remain an important part of formal courtroom attire for judges and barristers โ€” the term
there for lawyers.

Many of the judges and barristers who wear wigs in court say the headpiece โ€” also known as a peruke โ€” brings a sense of formality and solemnity to proceedings.
"In fact, that is the overwhelming point for having them," says Kevin Newton, a Washington, D.C.-based lawyer who studied law at the University of London. Newton adds that barristers' counterparts, known as solicitors, meet with clients outside the courtroom and are not required to wear wigs.

A Desire for Uniformity
Like many uniforms, wigs are an emblem of anonymity, an attempt to distance the wearer from personal involvement and a way to visually draw on the supremacy of the law, says Newton. Wigs are so much a part of British criminal courts that if a barrister doesn't wear a wig, it's seen as an insult to the court.
Barristers must wear a wig slightly frizzed at the crown, with horizontal curls on the sides and back. In addition, there are two long strips of hair that hang down below the hairline on the neck and sport a looped curl at each end. Different types of lawyers, though, have distinctions in the style of wig.

A judge's wig is similar, but more ornate. It's a full wig, from a slightly frizzed top that transitions into tight horizontal curls that range several inches below the shoulders. Most wigs are made of white horse hair, but as a wig yellows with age, it takes on a coveted patina that conveys experience.
Horse hair may not seem like a particularly precious material, but pair specialty hair with an age-old craft of styling, sewing and gluing, and the resulting wigs aren't cheap. A judge's full-length wig can cost more than $3,000, while the shorter ones worn by barristers cost more than $500.
Wigs may have fallen out of general men's fashion over the centuries, but when wigs first made their appearance in a courtroom, they were part and parcel of being a well-dressed professional.

In the 17th century, only the elite wore powdered wigs made of horsehair. Those who couldn't afford the elite garb but wanted to look the part wore wigs made of hair from goats, spooled cotton or human corpses. There was also a steady trade that involved living people who sold their long hair for wigs, though horsehair remained the ideal.

But why did powdered wigs come on the fashion scene in the first place? Why top one's head with an itchy, sweat-inducing mass of artificial curls?
Blame it on syphilis.

Historical Hair
Wigs began to catch on in the late 16th century when an increasing number of people in Europe were contracting the STD. Without widespread treatment with antibiotics (Sir Alexander Fleming didn't discover penicillin, the treatment for syphilis, until 1928), people with syphilis were plagued by rashes, blindness, dementia, open sores and hair loss. The hair loss was particularly problematic in social circles. Long hair was all the rage, and premature balding was a dead giveaway that someone had contracted syphilis.

Wigs, when not used to cover syphilis-related hair loss, were a big help for those who had lice. After all, it was much more dificult to treat and pick through the hair on one's head than it was to sanitize a wig.
When it comes to trend-starters, no one had a bigger influence on British wigs than Louis XIV of France. During his reign from 1643 to 1715, the Sun King disguised his
prematurely balding scalp โ€” historians believe it was caused by syphilis โ€” by wearing a wig. In doing so, he started a trend that was widely followed by the European upper- and middle-class, including his cousin, Charles II, the King of England (also rumored to have contracted syphilis), who reigned from 1660 to 1685. Although aristocrats and those who wished to remain in good social standing were quick to adopt the practice of wearing wigs, English courtrooms were slower to act. In the early 1680s, judicial portraits still showed a natural, no-wig look. By 1685, however, full, shoulder-length wigs had become part of the proper court dress.

A Persistent Legacy
Over time, wigs fell out of fashion with society as a whole. During the reign of England's King George III, from 1760 to 1820, wigs were worn by only a few โ€” namely bishops, coachmen and those in the legal profession. And bishops were permitted to stop wearing them in the 1830s. But the courts kept wigs for hundreds of years more. In 2007, though, new dress rules did away with barrister wigs โ€” for the most part. Wigs were no longer required during family or civil court appearances, or when appearing before the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. Wigs, however, remain in use in criminal cases.
In the U.K. and Ireland, judges continued to wear wigs until 2011, when the practice was discontinued. In England, and other former English and British colonies โ€” like Canada, for instance, whose provinces abandoned the wigs throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, or Jamaica which removed the wigs in 2013 โ€” lawyers and judges now only wear wigs for ceremonies.
The habit persists, though. "It is a little bit odd when you think of it, but I think this phenomenon has a symbolic aspect to it," prominent Hong Kong lawyer Johnny Mok told the Financial Times in 2013, "just like the use of the wig and gown in Hong Kong. My feeling is that Hong Kong will probably be one of the very last jurisdictions where wig and gown will continue to be used."

Adherence to tradition is a powerful human trait.

hopefulLandlord:
Let's ask Christian sects how to define Actual Christianity:

Methodist: It is accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior and publicly sharing that acceptance by getting baptized through sprinkling of water.

Baptist: No, no, no -- you must be DUNKED in water, heathen.

Pentecostal: Yer both wrong -- ye must be baptized by the Holy Spirit and ye must speak in tongues to prove you are saved.

Lutherans: You don't need to do any of that. Our founder said just believe and have faith (oh yeah and he REALLY hated Jews).

Presbyterian: How droll -- lol. No no..you see it does not matter what you do or do not, God has already decided who the true Christians will be and they are obviously all Presbyterians.

Episcopalians: Well, we each get to decide what constitutes Christianity. What is in your heart? What do you think it is for you? What say you, Bishop Spong?

Church of Christ: None of you are going to heaven because you use musical instruments in your services and God hates that.

Jehovah's Witness: Something Something Kingdom Hall; something something no birthdays, several End Times falsely predicted, no blood transfusions,,,,

Seventh Day Adventist: Pah! None of you even have the right day.

United Church of Christ: It's all good; let's listen to an acoustic guitar solo and accept gay people.

Non-denominational: Gay people? ewww. No no, ye must build megachurches with gyms and cafes to be righteous to god.

Catholic: Ummm....oldest sect here, guys. Forget that "accepting Jesus" stuff. You must mediate with God via a priest and eat crackers to get saved (just do not leave your kids alone with said priests, OK?). Oh yeah..and Virgin Mary is way cool.

Church of England: Yeah, what the Catholic said...but divorce is 100% OK.
Unitarian Universalists: Why are you guys even trying to define Christianity? All beliefs are the same (whoops.we aint even Christians).

Do not bring Jehovah's Witnesses into this nonsense. When have you ever heard that Jehovah's Witnesses invited comedians or politicians or musicians or 'actors' to their Kingdom Halls to teach or give a discuss?

Jehovah's Witnesses believes that a christian should and must follow the Bible's teachings both publicly and privately, and Bible principles must guide their actions and conducts. Yes, there are news of some 'celebrities' associating with Jehovah's Witnesses. But those were preached to, and they like what they learned from the Bible and took steps to associate with the Witnesses.

Jehovah's Witnesses uses direct one on one discussions to study and teach people about God and Christ. If you like what you learn, you take steps to conform your life to Bible standards. They try not to do anything that would bring disrespect to their God Jehovah.

dinma007:
A Nigerian lady, Lyrnda Onwunali has called out her estranged husband, Okpoebo Chidozie for beating her up while she was pregnant, stabbed her cousin and also threatened to take his own life.


According to her, he is a gold digger who goes after ladies from rich home. She also warned ladies to stay away from him. See her now deleted post belowโ€ฆ

http://www.lailasblog.com/nigerian-lady-calls-out-her-estranged-husband-warns-ladies-about-him/


There was a case of a woman who accused her boyfriend of "rape." The so-called rape got her pregnant. The boyfriend was imprisoned for 17 years. They were teenagers then. But the thing was, she lied. The daughter, the result of the "rape", forced her mother to reveal who her father was, forced her to a talk show were the mother was asked to take a lie detector test. In the end it was revealed that she falsely accused her then boyfriend of rape to punish him for getting her pregnant, and not having money to take care of her. Because of that talk show episode the man was released from jail after 17 years. She was brought back to face the man in the follow up episode but she only cried. Not even the dignity to apologise. A lot of women from the audience came down to hug the man. The daughter also left with her father.

I watched this in 2015. Can't remember the name of the show. But it was shown on Sony Max. The host was a black woman who beat a breast cancer illness.
