They are the representatives of the owners they are the people the owners trust to run the business on their behalf if the owners cannot
You said they invest their money. If they are not the owners, they don’t need to invest money so your argument to justify the huge income disparity between CEOs and workers doesn‘t hold.

Now tell me where the money these CEOs get comes from.

Oh but he’s going to.

Because these subjective metrics they use to place value on arbitrary qualities they believe only men possess is a perfect way of justifying why they think these broligarchs deserve the earth.
Right here in bold.

Yes the CEO mental work is higher than those doing the field work.

You can get many people to be the muscle, its way harder to be the brain

He invests his money and finances into it while most workers get paid for work done. On payday you dared not miss the payment of the workers whether you have to borrow for it or whatever

If it's easy being a CEO let everyone try to be one.
Do you really believe that all CEOs are the owners of the companies they work for?

Then it‘s about demand and supply of labor and not about hard work.

Every point up there is true and can be LOGICALLY justified. CEO's generally deserve to earn more than workers. Busy now, I'm going to DETAIL it down and it's not even hard to understand.

Good Luck for Nigerians.
I‘m curious to read how much more they deserve to earn according to you.

If the company fails, the CEO gets the boot. Anyone who wants to become a CEO should work for it or start your own company. Again, you see - freedom to choose. If you don't like how much you earn, change jobs, study quantitative courses, start a business challenging the dominant company.

Why stop at oil companies? Do teachers earn the same as principals? Do level 1 doctors earn the same as CMDs? Do entry-level accountants earn the same as chartered accountants with years of experience? Why do you want to reap where you have not sowed?

Abeg, I no dey like debate with faux communists! It gets me pissed off when people cannot grasp basic economics. You want big money, but aren't ready to put in the work. Make dem just pack money give you based on vibes!
You said capitalism rewards hard work and risk. Does the CEO of an oil company work harder than the workers who do the drilling? Simple question. Answer it.

Stop typing blindly. The CEOs who mismanage companies are nonetheless compensated with millions. Educate yourself first!

Gerrard59:
You know, that is the beauty of capitalism and the right to choose. Capitalism rewards hard work and dire risk. It is risky to be drilling oil in the middle of nowhere for a short time away from loved ones. So those who choose this option are well rewarded. A reason many men opt for it is that they are providers and women being hypergamous species gravitate towards men who can provide. As a result, men take up riskier jobs, work longer hours, study for too long, write the most qualifying examinations, opt for harder programs, and apply to lucrative companies/industries more than women do EVEN when there are equal and in some cases favouritism for women. It showed in Nordic countries. So, why would someone in 2024 parrot the claim that there is a gender pay gap? Big Fat Lie!

That is the common thing with Internet feminists: they disregard basic economics and biology.
Are you sure? How much harder does a company‘s CEO work than the average worker to earn up to 300 times more? How much does the Shell company CEO make compared to those who do the drilling? Are workers compensated for the value they produce? Pulease! Don’t get me even started.

Arrowhead71:
something keep telling me Trump will go tough on Putin to end war in Ukraine
I believe that Biden and Trump have already discussed the topic and that it plays into Trump‘s hands that Biden approved of Ukraine to use long-range-weapons. Syria has further revealed Putin‘s miscalculation and Trump smells weakness. I hope he will end this war even if he will unjustly take all the glory for it. I‘m ok with it as long as Putin is finally stopped. Too much blood on his hands.

I’d like to know more too.
Declining birth rates in US
Declining birth rates in Asia

We don’t keep good records in Nigeria but if I were a betting woman I’d bet it’s the same or similar.
It’s a very interesting topic.

European 4B movement? Idk. But honestly good for them.

Let only those who have a burning desire and capability to be parents become parents. Less people need to be having kids because that’s the social norm.
I agree. However, I don’t think that the 1,3, 1,5 or 1,8 (France) children per woman are all a result of families not wanting to have more children.

I have not once missed social media since my decision to stay off it. One of the best decisions.

I don’t care to share my life with anyone who I don’t share my life with offline and I don’t care to know about theirs.

1st world countries acting like real 1st world countries. But republicans in America act like it’s rocket science.

They’re the ones most concerned that women aren’t having kids anymore. Elon keeps complaining about the population decline 🙄.
In the same breath that they’re using to deny us maternity leave, they’re planning abortion bans and advocating for the ban of contraceptives. It’s almost as if the ultimate goal is a workplace that has less women and homes in which women are trapped because they’re financially destitute. MAGA indeed. Back to the 1900s if we let them.
Elon should take his meds.

But the real question is still why birth rates remain low despite all those relatively good family oriented policies.

No I believe you.

I’m just saying even though I realize no system is utopian (have heard of problems that UK people complain about in their own system) , that maternity leave aspect is one area in which they’re better generally than us.
Many EU countries grant parental leave after maternity leave allowing parents to look after children for much longer.

I know people who divorced and their second marriage is even worse than the first one and I know people whose second marriage is much happier. People make mistakes, learn from them or repeat them.

I don’t argue with men on the internet about abortion. If you want to be the exception, explain to me in your own words the difference between the luteal phase and the follicular phase. What kind of changes would you expect and how would a woman cope with each phase?



refer to my previous posts.


There’s a way to get reliable data. 1) See if the sample used in the study is big enough to be a true presentation of the population being studied. How was the sample selected? Is the study peer reviewed?
If I want to quote a website or blog page on here, I read to the bottom of their page to see how they get their information. Statistics is a REQUIRED course in every reputable undergraduate program. And it teaches you how to sift real information from sound bites.

Thank you so much! I am so glad you’re bringing this up. Do you know elevated CO2 levels AKA the green house effect is the main driver of climate change? I’m surprised you acknowledge that CO2 is rising to the level of existential threat but you support Trump who shits on climate scientists and calls climate change a hoax.

Which is it Basilico? Is climate change real or not? Will it only get real when Trump finally acknowledges it? He pulled us out of the Paris climate accord that was formed to tackle climate change. He calls climate restoration actions part of woke mind virus because it threatens his environmentally toxic billionaire buddies. You guys have to know what you support before lending all your voice and effort to it.


in other words, scientific evidence is no longer trustworthy. And there ladies and gentlemen is how fascism works. Only the one true leader (Trump) knows the truth. If it doesn’t support something he says, then it can’t be true.



You guys don’t care about women. If you did, Trump wouldn’t be your choice. Trans women in prisons and in sports might be a minute 0.0000001 of the general population but you harp on it because it’s a talking point for you. It’s not an issue of actual concern about the safety of women for you. If you were concerned, you’d be talking about the fact that just this year alone over 460 thousand women have been sexually abused in the USA alone (RAINN.org).

You cannot scare a reasonable woman into being afraid of trans women when in real life the people we are afraid of are men who don’t take no for an answer. I might feel bamboozled, intrigued or confused when I see a trans woman in real life, but one thing I’ll never be is afraid. You are gonna have to do better by showing us cold hard facts that corroborate how much more trans women are a danger to us than men already are.
When men love and want to protect us, your actions will show it. Words are not enough. And so far y’all’s actions haven’t been taken in support of women’s wellbeing.

And in the same vein, you don’t actually care about children. You’re concerned about an impossible hypothetical situation of someone changing their age to molest children but the real life cases of actual child sexual assault cases don’t get your attention. If anything, you support the men who have credible cases of child sexual assault cases against them. You were in support of Matt Gaetz a few pages back. Pls don’t play with my intelligence.
I need to save this masterpiece for future reference.

Crime › Re: Teacher Causes Damage To A Pupil's Right Eye With A Cane She Was Holding by Maeve7: 12:08pm On Dec 04, 2024
GloriousGbola:
I have three children all in private schools. Ss3 to primary 3.I have never heard of a 'student teacher' teaching them.

I never experienced a 'student teacher' when I went to school. What I know is that youth corpers are repurposed as teachers during their service year.

Obviously there should be some sort of it attachment process for teachers but I have no idea how they go about this
We put our children‘s education and as such also future in teachers‘ hands and they allow unqualified or poorly qualified people to train them. It’s a shame and totally unacceptable.

Good teaching is based on scientific research, which people need years to be trained in. Using the cane is a sign of incompetence, ignorance and weakness.

I imagine that if Nigerians had better teachers, they would probably rule the world. I am in awe of the intellectual prowess of many Nigerians despite this poorly performing education system.

Dear Women,

The earlier you understand that men have the key to commitment in relationship and marriage, the better for you!

A girl can say she wants to get married before 24, 25, but once a man doesn't show commitment in marrying her, she'll be single till 30! That's to tell you that men are the prize!
You are the biggest prize. grin

I now understand the kind of person you are—someone who prefers not to hear the truth. Your situation is similar to that of Nigeria, where many people would rather embrace lies than face reality.
Did I hit a nerve?

Why don’t you criticize the negative comments but someone who is proud of his family? Ask yourself what it says about you.

It’s not a crime to be proud of your family, but there’s a fine line between celebrating them and exposing them unnecessarily. In today’s world, the more private you keep certain aspects of your life, the less room there is for negativity or unwanted attention.

In a space like this, you should expect criticism; people will say things you won’t appreciate. So why not keep your family out of the media?
Why didn’t you criticize the negative comments instead of criticizing him for being proud of his family?

Well I won't dispute the bashing, that's what you caused for yourself.
So what if he shows off his family? Is it a crime to be proud of them?

I just made cranberry sauce today and have pie crust in the freezer. Might have to make this. I’m wondering will other kinds of cheeses work?. I know Brie pairs best with sweets but I don’t feel like going to the store just for Brie.
I am pretty sure any other cheese will do, it might even come out better. You‘ll soon know. smiley
