Education / Re: Turkey Wants Nigeria To Close 17 Schools In Coup Clampdown !!! by llaykorn: 7:38am On Jul 29, 2016 |
Alezy: Read what you wrote: a school should be closed down because its fees are much? I have a sister in the Turkish school in Lagos and I know the school offers just about the best quality of education you can get in Nigeria. Their fees is not extortion. Besides, a lot of the kids there are schooling on scorlaships. |

Why should the FG close down the schools? You have a problem with Gulen, we don't. And our kids who are on scorlaship and receiving about the best quality of education you can receive in Nigeria don't too. Nonsense! The Turkish government should just leave the man alone jare. 1 Like 1 Share |

Poems For Review / Re: Clash Of Two Pens: Laveda Vs Jigsawkillah by llaykorn: 1:43pm On Jul 27, 2016 |
Now these are two awesome pieces. The idea of poetry duels is a fantastic one too, but I believe that two things need to be improved if more of these are going to happen which I hope would. The first one is theme clarity. A single word is not enough as a theme. I believe that the idea of 'theme' was brought up so both poets, in the end, would have written poems with exactly the same themes and what would be left to score is the style. It should be clear enough that poets who drift away too much from the theme should get penalized. (If a criterion scoring system is being used) That brings me to the second point, and that is the scoring system. A criterion-based scoring system would be much more awesome to use for the judging as a poem is never always good in all ways and never always bad in all ways. And, Laveda, you're a star! 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Celebrities / Celebrity-Bullying: Can We Use A Little Compassion? by llaykorn: 7:01pm On Jul 18, 2016 |
Can we? Can we just try compassion as an option? Try it as an experiment and see what happens to our worlds? A little compassion for children, a little for depressed people, a little for the mentally ill and a little for celebrities too. Yes, celebrities. Think about it: celebrities are human too. A fact we're fast at forgetting or maybe one we never really knew in the first place. If not, why is it that nine out of ten times we go through the celebrity gist in newspapers, it's always some nasty, negative and many times untrue news getting featured about celebrities? Why is that anytime celebrity news is posted on the web, even those who are seemingly humanitarian pull off garbs of their sham humanitarianism and start spewing nasty stuff as if the human at the receiving end is a robot; emotionless and lacks feeling. See, our society has enough problems with bullies and trolls on the internet and in schools. We do not need popular media outlets adding fuel to the fire and acting like it is okay to write cruel stuff about people just because they are celebrities. Being in the public eye does not mean they open themselves up to having a load of horrible and usually untrue stuff written about them. They are only humans; just the same as us. We are all people with feelings, just because a person is on TV does not mean they don’t feel hurt when they see cruel things written about them. Everyone has a duty to make the world a better place and to see major newspapers and web pages print nasty content or allow people comment nasty comments about these people is very dangerous. This shows young people that it is okay to body shame, it is okay to write nasty comments about people's private lives; okay to write cruel stuff about them just because they are celebrities. NO, IT IS NOT OKAY! I was very disappointed when I clicked once on some thread here on Nairaland that gave the news of Di'ja's return to work after having her baby. Are we really this short of compassion? Why should it be our problem that someone doesn't have big breasts? Why should it be of our concern that someone is too thin to have a baby if her husband is not complaining? Why should getting married and having baby without letting you know be a reason to bully a woman? Do we think that celebrities don't cry? Everyone has feelings and no one deserves to be bullied. Celebrity or not, bullying is what it is and there is no other name for it! 49 Likes 10 Shares

Science/Technology / Re: Ishola Babatunde Isaac Builds Robots At Home (photos) by llaykorn: 2:42pm On Jul 17, 2016 |
ireneony: You need new inventions and ideas? Bigger robots, yeah? Tell me where even the smallest of robots are being used in your country. You think they build robots for fun? Do you know how much it takes to build one? You probably think robots are toys, right? Forget Japan and China. Let's think about ourselves. We won't experience any positive change if we don't stop being so dumb and learn to support and appreciate what we have. 13 Likes |
