The third World question is about quality of living on average for the WHOLE POPULATION
China has the second largest economy that is true but not relevant to whether it is third world or not.
A man earning 1 million Naira a month with 100 dependents has a bigger economy than a man with 100000 a month income with 2 dependents.
The population of China is HUGE and there is widespread inequality . To answer whether or not it is Third World one needs definitions and parameters. There is a huge population of people living in abject poverty in the rural areas in China.

You did not answer his question ,rather you are bluffing. He asked for PROOF

Let me put it like this if China were to get anywhere near 1st world standards this planet will be in serious environmental trouble
On average Chinese standards of living are VERY FAR from first world in terms of education and health care

Take a look at this list

As in!!!

I was shocked by the level of ignorance on display.

They kept bashing the guy for being more in the know than they were. Must have thought high rise buildings are the only indices of development.

LionDeLeo:
Not really been to many actually, but some provinces in China no make sense reach Lagos.

Even India, though not a developed country, some of their states na shambles compared to Lagos.

I'm not a Lagosian oh!

Well, technically, they are both still developing countries. As a nation, they have miles to go, just like we do.

Thought you'd mention an actually developed country.

That said, Lagos is fine, no doubt.

It could have.

I remember Caroline mentioned that he was lightweight.

What manner of Fuckery is this?!

kenonze:
This must be Umuahia .
Umuahia is still the best planned city in the entire SE and SS.

Enugu says hi.

In my own opinion, a jobless guy has no business going into a relationship. Well, depending on his ambitions.

If you're the kind that aspire to greatness of some sort, entering a relationship will either slow you down or kill off your zeal altogether. You go from focusing on growing yourself to exploring ways to spice up your relationship. The woman almost becomes the core of your being.

The desire to protect your new acquisition will make you less mobile, hence make securing a job much more difficult. That's assuming you're in a location where jobs are few and far between.

If you jam mami water nkor? Well, sorry for you! She will drag you through the mud and kill off the little self esteem that's left in you. There's a point beyond which it becomes hard to recover your mojo back to how it used to be.

Besides, for how long do you think a girl can put up with a broke guy in this age and time? It usually starts well, but even the most contented of all girls would want you to contribute something as your share of the joint activity you have been running every once in a while. Abi you think say her mileage go just dey run for nothing?

Most people often suggest getting a girl that'll love you for you whilst you're broke. But boy, it doesn't end well most of the time. One of you is bound to end up seeing the other as having wasted their time.

I cited all of the above under the assumption that you're after a serious relationship. If otherwise, disregard.

People are different. But that special one you seek is hard to find.

Babe's ambitious; lick your wounds and move on.

On a serious note, though. She must be harebrained.

What kind of a woman ventures into such a life of uncertainty without considering her options carefully?

If life in the US were as rosy as the sister made it seem, how come she still isn't doing all of those things she is pinning on the young lady? How many of her family members has she taken abroad? How much money has she sent back home?

Your ex jumped ship in the middle of the ocean. All you have to do is watch on as her dance with the sharks unfurls.

She's no different from all those girls who left their bfs because they wanted to get married before a certain year runs out. Yet several Decembers have passed, they are still without boyfriends of their own, much less fiancés.

It promises to be an entertaining sight.

True that. Man's not wise. His advisers, even worse.

He thought he could trash-talk his way into independence.

He and his followers think that the international community will throw open its arms and give them a warm embrace for a job well done.

They forget that other countries are distantly absorbed in their own problems, and won’t even care enough to as little as ask questions.

Look what happened in Catalonia. Most big countries have separatists problems of their own, so know where it pinches.

Lol

paiz:
For this fine Girl to graduate with this type of grammar
Just know that her pucci must have reached the innermost part of the earth

One minute silence for her english please

RIP ENGLISH

Not necessarily.

Passing a school course does not require knowing so much English.

Most lecturers in Nigerian unis are lazy. So they'd rather you recall their courses verbatim. To pass, all she need do is cram and pour.

CROWNWEALTH019:
My 2.1 for unilorin pass that one degree


i can make a first class in any school abroad



my 2.1 pass him first class

ever wondered why naijas go there and make the results??

Oga detractor, weh done, sir!

Sanchez01:
No. What CTL does, which I consider brilliant is that none of the sports stations have a permanent place. I don't know how they do it, but they sometimes alternate by changing/switching the stations.

For example, Sports 1 is dedicated to Kwese and 3 to Sony HD 6. 2 and 4 are dedicated to SS3 and SS7. Should Kwese (Sports 1) show a live Man United vs Arsenal game and the same is shown on SS3, Sports 2 which is dedicated to SS3 would be switched to Bein to show some other games while SS7 (sports 4) would show a different match.

They operate the four sports stations like 10 sports stations.

Okay. Thanks for this info.

I can see that they haven't changed from when I last used them, sometime in 2005. Then it was Aljazeera Sports.

I have always been in awe of their modus operandi. Will go back to using them again if TSTV fails to deliver.

Thanks!

abumaryam012:
TSTV is owned by Zarah Buhari. What a great job.

Is this true?

Sanchez01:
CTL has four sports station and it is capable of showing three different live matches at the same time, regardless of the league. There is a dual view and a single view. Your best bet would be the dual view, which is slightly above the 3,150 monthly subscription fee for single view users.

Interestingly, two of the four sports station show directly from SS3 and SS7.

Are these stations besides the Bein Sports ones?

Reno is only being the degenerate clod that he really is. No surprises there.

Nigerians reacting with their tiny dicks... Congo guys have the biggest dick u can think of.

And why exactly is a guy talking about dicks? Are you gay or something?

escapefromusa:
was there a time it never was?

Sure, it has always been, but is even more so today. Time was when marriage used to be a marker of adulthood. Anyone could get married to anyone, as people seemed to appreciate prospects and operate with a more long-term perspective. But today, marriage is becoming increasingly tied to socioeconomic statuses than anything else.

Men who aren't doing well financially are less likely to be seen as marriage material by women who do not want to take a risk on somebody who's unlikely to provide money or assets.

IMHO, most women nowadays are more concerned about the financial aspects of things. So, for them, the guy they'd settle down with has to at least be able to guarantee financial stability. When that man finally decides to propose, they tend to regard it as a special honor.

Because marriage is fast becoming a mark of privilege.

chukzyfcbb:
ahh fellow cule! March on bruh, as long as your area can get good signal. fire on!

Mes que un club.

Sure thing, bro.

Thanks!

chukzyfcbb:
then in school (s.east) a neighbour had that dish.
Na there I dey watch all LA liga matches, champions league o.
There's no match that's played you won't find there.

Dstv don't show copa del rey. and as a barca fan I usually relied on the CTL to cover it.

the only problem is that most times the commentary is in Arabic, sometimes we will be lucky to have them in English.

(BEIN SPORTS)

The company has been low key sha, if they had funds to market their product in Nigeria. Most guys wey like sports for don troway Dstv

Oh wow. Thanks for this. I'm a Barca fan myself. Think it's worth giving them another try at this point. Used to like them. Sometimes I no dey send commentaries o, so long as say I dey watch wetin dey happen myself. The language they broadcast in should not be too much of an issue.

Wish I knew back then that they had good coverage in the SE, na ehn I for use throughout my service year.

Thanks.

sexy74:
The problem with CTL is the reach in some areas, like Abuja where I reside its lovely within the central area but when you get to lugbe it has issues there, in some places you get it clearly in some places there is no signal because of transmitter issues, they will tell you that a mountain is disturbing the signal.
If you stay where the signal is good and love sport CTL all the way.

Okay. I get your drift.

Signal reception is excellent in my area. However, what I wanted to find out is whether they have all Bein Sports channels?

Like, when I used to have them, they usually swapped between channels, airing them only when there's a live match. I think only two Aljazeera Sports channels were a constant feature at the time.

Thanks.

deji17:
Rather than see Kabba, Ilorin, Offa, Ayetoro etc as Northern territory, we can chose to see them as our eye on the North or our voice in the North. Has Saraki or Dino Melaiye / Smart Adeyemi or Pius Adesanmi seized to be Yorubas because Kwara and Kogi State are part of North central? NO. During the second republic and by 1983, Cornelius Adebayo has become the Governor of Kwara state under the Unity Party of Nigeria headed by Chief Obafemi Awolowo. See, Igbos need to start to think strategically. Society does not necessarily need to be mono ethnic before such society can prosper.

You have a sound mind!

Advans:
you are absolutely right. Hitv & Dstv bought epl view rights from the same company that is why they can't both air same live match at same time. Tstv is subscribing to Bein sport so they can compete with Dstv. My only concern is d language of commentary. I don't think bein sport has English audio channel

Bein Sports make commentaries in English.

sexy74:
My brother tell am, DSTV cannot compare to BEIN SPORT in sporting programmes .
Had it been CTL is not antenna based , they show all premier league European matches LA liga name it.

Do CTL have all Bein Sports channels? Think I last used them in 2004/2005 or so. They used to show all Champions League, La Liga, Seria A, and other leagues on Aljazeera Sports channels back then.

I wonder how they operate these days. I'm contemplating ditching DSTV for CTL, as I don't do much besides watching football and animals channels. I shouldn't be paying 14k for the exact same value I can get for a little over 3k.

omenka:
Anyway this thing goes, I am game.

Break up, no wahala.

Restructure, no wahala.

What exactly is this restructuring by the way? Seems to me like the latest political fancy word.

It is the latest political fancy word, for sure.

Even individuals who barely understand what the term means naively suggest that we go with it, just because they believe it is anti-government of the day.

What they may not understand, however, is that they are pushing to have 36 more power-hungry individuals as presidents. More troubles for themselves!

Dare to speak against it, and people take it to mean that you're scared of losing out.

Makes me laugh.

truth4u:
Always diabolical as always... A restructured Nigeria does not help only Ipob, biafrans and Igbo's... Restructured Nigeria help even zombies like you... In the same way, divided Nigeria help all, not only biafrans... Demonic zombies everywhere

How does a restructured Nigeria benefit you?

Restructure or not, balkanize or maintain; how does it benefit the dispossessed Nigerians who have had their rights stolen for so long?

I sometimes feel ashamed on behalf of those educated people who long for a return to an imaginary structure where everyone has a seat at the head of the table.

In Nigeria, and everywhere else in the world, bar some Scandinavian countries, those seats are reserved for the elites. Rather than seeking clearly how a government intends to bring progress and growth, we are concerning ourselves with what benefits the elites only.

Sanchez01:
Ibrahimovic's 2013 autobiography opens a whole new level of can of worms about the Barcelona team, Lionel Messi and even Guardiola. You should read it.

I did read excerpts from the book. It doesn't say enough to justify the dictator tag labelled on Leo.

Messi didn't do much else besides questioning whether Guardiola's still regarded him as important to the team.

Besides, it is no secret that Ibra has an ego the size of his big frame. He must have wanted to occupy the entire space. Everyone needs space to breathe.

All Messi wanted was reassurance. Shouldn't draw comparison to what Neymar did. Not a chance.

Afenifere: the mouthpiece of the PDP in the South West. They like to differ just for the sake of being in the opposition.

They are right on this one, though. Thought I was the only one who didn't see any need for the operation.

Sanchez01:
Neymar is good and he knows it. I see nothing wrong in that. While I am displeased with the PK tussle with Cavani, Messi has done far worse than Neymar ever did. The thing is, the latter doesn't do his publicly.

Neymar seems to be influenced by his father who is no doubt a bad influence on him. So long he plays at the top level every week, believe me, the world would look past his arrogance and reckon with him.

So, if Messi does not get into a tussle publicly, how then did you get to know he does it at all?

You shouldn't pin the man down just because you want Ronaldo lifted up high.

These people keep embarrassing themselves, shaping the general idea that Africans are not fit to rule themselves.

I don't see how protesting in a foreign land helps them achieve this restructuring of a thing. And instead of making persuasive remarks, they are making it about religion. That won't arouse world concern in any way.

Individuals with normal thinking faculty are careful about the way they make their case heard. This is all politics. If you must change the system, then you have to learn to reason beyond the boundary of threats. Make your case a compelling one.

If you like, don't come out and vote in 2019. That'd be your candidate's loss, and not Nigeria's.

LionDeLeo:
Omenka, I owe you a lot for this reminder.

Infact, I will communicate you soon.

To be specific, I owe you a wrist watch (for yourself) and some jewelleries for your spouse. You can name any other items you like, but later, not here.

God bless you.

And to other good student nairalanders, I'm giving out the sum of 50k to five lucky ones. I will open a thread for that in education section later in the day.

Questions should be answered to win 10k.

Belle just dey sweat me die, I swear.

Hahahahah. Na so e sweet you reach?

It's quite easy to tell them apart. It doesn't take hard work to identify a girl who's so much into you just for the title.

One way or another, you'll find that they love to hear where they feature in your future plans. Such ladies often need reassurance every once in a while.

Those who run their mouths faster than they think would say something disrespectful or act it altogether and then get all apologetic immediately you give them the "no more marriage" look.

Contrary to what some guy say above, such ladies won't put up with your every shit. They'll tell it to your face how your behaviour is unbecoming for a guy your age. So they are likely to want to mould you into the ideal guy.

Girls who put up with your every shit are just that - nice and tolerant. It's not always a pretense. Girls who act all wife material usually reveal their true colors at some point in the relationship.

She may tell you about how an ex wasted her time. Or how he he married a lady that's a lesser wife material than she is.

She'd want you to get to meet her family ASAP. And if you are close with them, there's always that sister of hers who's likely to remind you that the sister isn't getting any younger, albeit jokingly, whenever her birthday comes around.

She fantasizes about the number of kids and their gender. Make no mistake, such girls usually picture themselves being married to all of their exes.

Parental pressure. If you notice that the parents are the kind that lay too much emphasis on marriage, then that's a red flag.

If you started dating her from your uni days or have been knowing her since then, look back to when you were in school. Was she the kind that's the first to resume school and the last to return home during the holidays? If yes, then she just wants the marriage. So, because she wants to escape her parents. Such girls would cling onto just anyone to get them out of what they consider a "cell." You know how some parents can make life tough for their wards.

There are many ways you can know this.
