Yesterday, I had an interaction with a lady regarding the upcoming election, and in the course of the interaction, she said Xavier if you aren't appealed to Trump and Kamala, but you nevertheless prefer their running mates, Vance and Walz, rather than stay neutral during the election, why don't you support these candidates because of their running mates?

Her statement caused moments of reflection in me which made me come in agreement with her. Yes, I'm not a fan of Trump and Kamala for certain reasons, but their running mates appeal to me for numbers of reasons such as competence, intelligence, character (not perfect), patriotism and passion. So why can't I support a candidate, and by extension, support his or her running mate.

Vance and Walz are good guys... men of intelligence, passion, patriotism, and character (not perfect), but I pick Walz over Vance because of;

* Liberal bias
* The competence, intelligence, passion, character and patriotism of Walz.
* The personality of their principals. Trump has a nasty and an "alpha and omega" character, with him, I don't see J.D Vance having the opportunity to exude his capacity as a Vice President. I see a Mike Pence 2.0. But with Kamala, who is sane and reasonable, I see Walz being given that opportunity to exude his capacity.

So due to this, I've decided to lend my support to the Harris-Walz candidacy. The support for Kamala is the support for Walz, and having Walz at the White House working in partnership with President Kamala Harris, gives me good reasons to believe that America will be in good hands.

Give me this your lady friend‘s number. I‘d like to thank her.

That is what makes teaching profession unique to others...and why it is underrated globally and underpaid...cos ....just anybody can teach once you have something upstairs to pass down to others.


It's the certification that makes one professional...

That's why we see many graduates of different field of study find their way to teaching without being a trained Teacher.

Take NYSC for instance....80% of corp members teach...when they weren't a trained Teacher...but for a whole year...they were able to fit in.


Teaching is not a profession but a calling.

Teaching is a profession.

Just because you studied maths or French doesn’t mean that you have knowledge of teaching methodology, classroom management, child development psychology, visualization techniques, student assessment rules, diagnosis tools etc.

Anything for you my dear. Take two

Thank you dearest.

it's an observation from your end but still is not end outcome of all marriages/relationships like that ... The fact that you generalized is an expectation of how you probably want marriages/ relationships like that to end hence JEALOUSY....

Jealous because? Answer the question. What is there to be jealous of?

cococandy:
Steak sandwiches and French fries for lunch

You da best!

DeeScan:
"how many of your marriage to your white women stand the test of time"

If that is not coming from a place of jealousy, I don't know what is..

It’s an observation. I am based abroad and I know what I see here. So why is it jealous to say how it is?

DeeScan:
This one sounds jealous already.

Jealous because?

Newborn27:
I'm professionally trained...but teaching isn't limited to the four walls of a classroom...as far as you're impacting knowledge, skills and morals into others .. you're teaching.


It isn't just a profession but a ministry.

It’s like saying that if I give someone pain killers, I am a nurse. You are either a professional teacher or not.

Trained or untrained teachers? Asking for a friend.

Another thread to start tribal war.

This is why the country can never prosper. Instead of thinking of solutions, people catch feelings. It also applies to elections. Instead of looking for the best candidate based on qualifications, people vote based on sentiment. Nigeria will continue to be a failed state if the masses don’t learn to make informed decisions using their brains. But how do you want them to if the school system is filled with poorly qualified or totally unqualified teachers who fail to train their critical thinking skills.

I believe the stats paint a too positive picture. The numbers are higher everywhere.

LastGiantAlive:


We yoruba muslims will believe statisense now unlike the other thread where the platform revealed that our schools are filled with incompetent oluwole teachers

I didn’t need statistics to know that a huge number of teachers in Nigeria don’t qualify and shouldn’t be let anyone near children and teens.

tcalc:
I’ve had to convince the daughter though, because she wants an elaborate one. She’s accepted but not very comfortable with it, convincing her mum who has probably informed her different clubs and societies seem a strong challenge to me

You are on your own.

radautoworks:
go for it! Easier if you have an air fryer. Couldn't take it today and bought a griddle so I could make breakfast pending my house repair finishing.

I have an air fryer. What do you use yours for?

GboyegaD:
Ingredients:
Celery, Carrot, Onion, Spices (Smoked Paprika, Black Pepper, Salt, Bullion, Garlic Seasoning), Corn Starch, Heavy Cream, Butter, Chicken, noodles of choice, Oil (any of your choice).

Dice Celery, Carrots, and Onions. Put your pot on a medium heat burner. Pour your oil and put your butter (this helps prevent your butter from burning). Once the butter is melted, add those diced items and allow them to fry for reasonable minutes.

Wash your diced chicken, season with salt and black pepper, then add it to the frying vegetables. Allow the chicken to cook then add your spices, water, and noodles. Once the noodles is al dente (7 minutes), make a slurry from the corn starch add it to the soup alongside your heavy cream. Once they come to a boil, the soup is cooked.

Thank you very very very much.

radautoworks:
Jerk chicken, roasted corn, baked potato

I have corn at home. I think I want to try the combo you have here.

Chicken noodles soup with popovers. I used Alex Guanchelli's recipe for the popovers. They turned out great.

How did you make the soup? It looks delicious.

The guy is an insensitive i.diot.

I know right. It is a divide and conquer technique. Foreign Vs Naija. Wives Vs Mother. Evening Newspaper Vs Younger Ladies. In the long run, guys like him are up to no good. One wrong move from the reverred foreign woman and they will forget all her virtues.

I have heard a lot about Russian women being loving and tough at the same time. We may not hear sob stories based on submission as they are smart enough not to demand such. Looks like in most cases it is the foreign woman that gets tired and leaves. Then he comes home for a retirement wife.

All the women in the world dream of them. They are hotter than 🌶️ and more scarce than gold. You have to be of very high value to get a Nigerian husband. He should be your main goal and highest achievement in life.

I have quite a number of Russian friends, close friends. Your description is very apt. Whether they bring it up or not, their attitude will show and trust me, they will not tolerate nonsense as long as our sisters do. Apart from this, racism in Russia is much more prevalent than in Western countries so I understand they think they have made it by getting a Russian wife.

kayowalemi:
This is to show that they're learning lesson not to come home and pick wives. Nigerian ladies when you bring them to abroad, they'll turn against you and might even take everything you have worked for.

They will still go home to get married. The internet is littered with white women crying over the deceit our brothers put them through.

okoroemeka:
in igboland the yardstick that is used to measure a man is his wife,if your wife is tattered,unkept and looking like a mangy rabid dog if you as a man drive 2025 Mercedes Benz glk nobody will take you serious,our women is our image,we don't joke with their happiness,that is the secret form south Africa,Angola, Uganda,Vietnam,Russia,everywhere the igboman goes the women lies and respects him because he is ready to spend , care,pamper and give his woman attention

That’s why many of the mixed kids live in a single parent household? How many of your marriages to white women stand the test of time? Abeg!

pocohantas:
Jealousy for what? Is any of them married to my man? Please have sense, it is Oct 2024. ✌️

He desperately wants you to be jealous. This is why you hear white women this or that on this forum so much. If they can make us feel like we are in a competition, they feel fly. A booster to their fragile egos.

By the way, Russian women cherish family values but they are very strong too and they run the family business so let’s expect to hear sob stories once our brothers dare to sing the “wives must be submissive and men are polygamous by nature“ song. It won’t go down well with a Russian matriarch.

armyofone:
Birds of the same feather...I wonder how the Evangelists are feeling.

They will always find an excuse for their messiah.

I don’t know what to do to overcome the pain in your heart but I know that you can’t forget it. You will think of it less frequently as time goes by, probably, so maybe for now you could just try to avoid what triggers it as much as possible.

Anger is a powerful emotion and often sadness in disguise. Maybe it’s helpful to take it from there. Allow yourself to cry over what happened to you. Tears will wash away some of the pain.

May you heal from it all and make peace with the past for it can’t be changed.

Melania to vote Blue?

Since the Trump campaign knows that women’s rights might cost them a lot of votes, Melania is indirectly campaigning for her husband. She just gave an interview in which she passionately supported his presidency and it’s the same woman who was shamelessly spreading the lie about Obama‘s birth certificate.

Don’t trust her. Birds of the same feather …

RealityKings:
All these defeats a man's primary purpose in life. There is absolutely nothing unique in life apart from bringing forth children. It also defeats a woman's primary purpose.

Life is about creation. People should be encouraged to have just about the number of kids they can raise.

I feel like the op aisha1314 need counselling.
Also sex is very sweet...

It’s your primary purpose in life, not everyone else‘s. Anyone can father a child, even animals do.

Na which Harry Potter stunt you wan pull 🤣🤣🤣



Everybody with their view on the issue. Same way a couple of folks I've engaged with told me Walz made an unwise choice being Kamala's VP. In their view, a man of his capacity should have been the main guy. That's just it.

This is election, so many likes and dislikes are flying all over the place, but one thing is certain, Vance and Walz, love them or hate them, are way more presidential than their principals. For Trump and Kamala, I'm so livid with GOP and DEMS.



One, I don't vote who I feel is not worthy of my vote. I need to be at peace with my conscience.

Two, nothing will make Americans lose their power to vote, not now, not in the future, except you are trying to tell me that the democratic and governmental institution is weak. But, it's not, it's stronger than anyone, be it Trump or Kamala, so how will "we the people" lose the right and power to vote?

It's boring and annoying having to hear this narrative. "Trump is a threat to democracy. Trump is this, Trump is that..." All that's bullshit, neither Trump or Kamala is greater and stronger than America's democratic and governmental institutions. These institutions stands supreme over all. So no right or power is going anywhere.



As it should be... 😎


#Xavier

From your mouth to God’s ear …

I don’t share your optimism. He tried to overthrow the democratically elected government and is thus a danger to democracy. The institutions you are talking about can be destroyed from within faster than from outside.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES

Honestly, I have to admit, the vice presidential debate was the presidential debate we were looking for but never got. For the first time in a long while, we were exposed to a civil, respectful, passionate, smart, and patriotic debate, scratch that, discuss between two smart, respectful, passionate, sane, composed, presidential, and patriotic Americans. The debate was way... way... way better by miles to the junks we've been having in the name of presidential debates.

Three set of things I noticed from the comments of wall street journal were I watched the debates (I preferred an independent media rather than a right wing or left wing media in other to avoid the right wing or left wing bias comments, the audience of wall street journal were a mix of civil and sane liberals, conservative and independents) were;

* Vance and Walz were more presidential than their principals.
* Audience wished Vance and Walz were the presidential candidates instead.
* It was the debates Americans had been looking for; civil, respectful, smart, passionate and patriotic.

And I'm 100% in agreement with that. For the first time in a long time, I saw liberals and conservatives seeing eye to eye with each other, and disagreeing respectively in the comments. For the first time in a long while, patriotism was the order of the day. The aura of Vance and Walz truly rubbed off on the audience.

One of the most beautiful thing was hearing, "I agree with Vance on this," "I agree with Walz on that." The empathy Vance showed towards Walz when he talked about his mass shooting experience was heartwarming, likewise how they focused their attention on each other when one was speaking, it showed they were willing to listen, and probably learn.

As I said, I'm 100% in agreement that these two should have been the presidential candidates instead of their principals. Vance had the cerebral capacity, and Walz exuded enormous passion to serve his country. With these two as presidential candidates, irrespective of who would have won, America would have been in good hands. That's how it should be rather than a situation where one gets scared when a particular candidate wins. The greatest miracle Americans would be eternally grateful for is waking up and finding out that these two are the presidential candidates 😂😎😁.

Who won the debate? To me, both won. They showed that there's hope for America. They showed that we have people that are willing and passionate to serve this great country. Both made their case to the best of their abilities, and I can tell from the body language of the moderators that they enjoyed the show, who wouldn't? I almost didn't want it to end.

Someone asked me, if Vance and Walz were the presidential candidates, who would I have supported?

Now that's a tough choice, but after reflecting on it for quite some time, I will say, Tim Walz. Why? Well, when I see Tim Walz, I see a patriotic, competent and passionate leader and servant of the people. Don't get me wrong, Vance is a smart, sane, cool, patriotic, and passionate guy also (he's willingness to grant interview and engagements both with left and right wings media and audience is highly commendable), yes he has his flaws, but he's an amazing guy whether you love him or hate him, he's someone I would love to see run for president someday. As I said, Vance is an amazing guy, but I prefer Tim Walz for the reasons mentioned.

Aside that, the performance of Tim Walz right from his time as Congressman to his moments as Governor has been impressive, not perfect, but impressive. Yes, he's made bad decisions and said things that were either wrong or false as a political leader; yes, I don't agree with all his views and policies, but nevertheless, hate him or love him, he's a competent leader, and way more presidential than Kamala and Trump combine.

When I heard him speak during his unveiling as the vice presidential candidate, I was like, "This should be the presidential candidate." And I'm not being sexist here, I will pick an Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosy, or Michelle Obama over Tim Walz, but with Kamala, I'm going with Walz. Kamala doesn't appeal to me for a number of reasons. But if Vivek Ramaswamy is in the scene, forget about it, Vivek Ramaswamy all the way, that's my guy. I guess now, I will be called a Democratic voting Independent for saying I will vote Walz over Vance 🤣🤣🤣.

This is the reason, I'm very mad at the Dems and GOP. GOP had the candidates like Ron DeSantes, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy etc, but chose Trump of all people. Dems had people like Tim Walz, Gavin Newsom etc, but preferred Kamala. Why won't they, when they know they have loyal voting base🤦🙄.

Right now, with Trump and Kamala as the presidential candidates, I'm not supporting neither. As a matter of fact, I've washed my hands off the election. Whoever wins, wins, I don't give a fück. My focus is on 2028.

But all in all, the debate was impressive, and Vance and Walz were amazing. There's hope for America 😊.

I would like to give you a 100 likes for most of your comment.

However, Vance‘s biggest flaw is that he supports Trump and by doing so loses all credibility. I can’t trust anyone who can support and defend a criminal who was trying to steal an election and unleashed a mob on the Capitol. Vance is educated enough to understand how Hitler rose to power and this should be a warning to people who value the rights and freedoms of a democracy.

Having said that, I pray that your decision not to vote will not lead to you not having the right to vote in 2028.

Thank you for your extensive analysis and balanced view and mostly for this part here:

” That's how it should be rather than a situation where one gets scared when a particular candidate wins.“

basilico:
You do realize he never got funding for the wall while Paul Ryan the RINO was speaker. Ryan went on to be a board member of Fox Corp.

Next Trump diverted excess military budget to the well. An Obama Judge stopped him. DC appeals court heavily democratic sided with this judge.

Build the Wall raised funds for the wall. A NY DA indicted the founders of the initiative on the grounds that they had promised every cent would go to the wall, not to personal expenses

Mexico didn’t pay?

ObaIgwe1:
BTW, how many people saw it as ridiculous; Vance claiming Trump's common sense opinion is better than experts' opinion? The same common sense that was uncommon when Trump mismanaged covid pandemic.

For a Yale graduate to think opinion based on rigorous researches and expert analysis is of less value compare to the common sense of a fraudster is mind blowing.

Vance acts like a psychopath. He doesn’t believe what he says and lies smirking. Call it smooth if you want. In times where knowledge is almost free but ignorance knows no bounds, performance is more important than substance and truthfulness.

APOPTOSIS:
Don't mind Nigerians always ready to insult people. People made their choices to relocate. Please leave them to their fate.
What's wrong with doing that job?
People pump tyres in Nigeria..
People do security in Nigeria
People drive sewage vehicles in Nigeria
Why should I insult them.
You may need them one day.

Even when I was working in Nigeria, I wiped humans despite occupying the highest stratum in the medical profession.
It didn't reduce me in anyway.
Medical Doctors in Nigeria manually evacuate impacted faeces from patients.
Has it reduced them?
The insults from us are just too much.
Too many proud folks these days.
Lazy youths that wouldn't want to do anything besides disturbing the peace of others.

To call them proud is an understatement. Whoever earns their money the decent way deserves respect. I wonder what kind of people raised them to have the audacity to come online to make such a statement. How can you even think that looking down on people is ok? Or is it to create traffic?

We live the era of shameless ignorance and arrogant wickedness.
