EducationRe: Emmanuel Chinweuba Nworie Relocates To The US by Oktane: 2:26pm On Aug 04, 2021
PapaNnamdi:
Cos I couldn't, people are born with the ability,
I am practical oriented,
Tru life story, first class crammers cannot solve life complex problems, only to cram,
The best crammers in my set without connection to a job are struggling to survive Nigeria, they all want a job,

Funny stuff,
Cannot solve any problem
But you get first class,
Imagine a first class maths graduate went back to farm,
It shows he learnt nothing,
Just cram and pass, he should have become a seasoned programmer.
Nonsense and maths graduate
Very unintelligent expression here. An you have the temerity to lay claim to a tertiary education.

You have been fed the nonsense that people who excel academically are crammers. I really don't blame you, its a figment of your very crippled world view. It's people like you that that think that all women who excel are sleeping their way through.

You need to grow up and eschew excuses for your failures and deficiencies. That's the only sure way to excellence in any area.

My brothe, mark the end story of such people, it is always disastrous. Bad marriage, sometimes no kids, life of clubbing and drugs.
No woman that expends her life in servicing men for gains and promotions succeeds at the end
This conclusion is far too generic.

It may not hold true in all cases. Think about it ....carefully.
Technology MarketRe: House Clearance Sales.. Come In Here!!!! by Oktane: 10:11pm On Jul 28, 2021
yehmy:
Have you thought about getting her own gain from the seller, though i'm not interfering in you guys fight just pointing it out that because you paid directly to the seller doesn't mean she's not getting her own cut from it. Peace
I have considered that.
I do not hold brief for Unique wise, my point is that she has always fully disclosed that the items were not hers. She fronts for the owners and of course with a commercial understanding.

Yes, the buyer pays to the seller who then pays her what is her due commission.

I don't see anything wrong with such a clear and very transparent transaction. I am sure she herself will not deny collecting commissions. She does and it is her due.

Most of the sellers she represents I surmise do not even know that this thread exists. She brings the items and presents them to the buying public. If the buyer and seller are both happy with the price and goes along and pays then it is a harmonious transaction. If Uniquewise makes some profit therefrom the ring of happiness expands further.

By the way, I am fighting nobody. Too old and tired to fight jobless fellows apparently devoid of good upbringing.

I responded to you because of the decorum as expressed in your post.

And by the way...I have never met Uniquewise. I don't know her but I am impressed with her consistent showing on the clearance thread.

aboyaji:
My dear brother and sister in the lord..... You no get sense at all. Sorry that I must say that to you.

See, I hadn't sold on this clearance sales once, but I can boldly tell you that when the right time comes, everyone would get swayed by the price.

Narrative must be changed to conform to the real meaning of the word "clearance sales".

Before you bring something online and on a clearance sale thread, you must have made your findings beforehand about the current price of those goods or even if you found it tasking, just reduce the price you purchased such item by 25% at least and sell off.

Clearance sales is calculation and counting of losses and savaging and not multiplication of cost and selling.

Clearance has a fine line with auctioning.
Thanks Bro!

Perhaps you are right about being your brother/Sister in the Lord but the but about my lack of sense I will allow you and others to be the judge. Be however assured that in this life time and subsequently I can never be as slow as you are which is inadvertently reflected in your very unintelligent scribbling here.

You may wish to always look intently at a full sized mirror before you open your mouth to spew rubbish especially when you are unsure of the personality you are dealing with moreso in an anonymous platform such as this.

The lady in question has clearly stated that she is an intermediary for many people desirous of clearing their property and they give her prices to dispose these goods.

You may wish to know that I have dealt with her previously and though the transaction was not consumated because of a difference in price. The product was however pristine and worth the price. On the whole the entire exchange was healthy and satisfactory.

That is probably something your inexperience and inexposure may deny you of.

obisite:
His/her share can still be transfer by seller..
Is there anything wrong with that?

She has disclosed that she is a middlewoman and that's why she always parades different goods.

Perhaps her prices are a bit high but observe closely and you will discover that she presents superior quality products in pristine condition.

Moreso, at some point of the negotiation she directs you to the seller directly. As a matter of fact in the majority of cases you buy directly from the seller.
How more transparent can she be. The lady is as clean as a whistle.

You guys let her be.

I will struggle to believe this as I am quite aware that it takes one at least 2 years to be promoted to a next level (that's for those fast enough and favored), and we're talking about moving from ET 1, ET 2, ABO, BO, SBO, AM before DM. Haba!

It's not possible
Sir, I wasn't trying to convince you.

I was equally mesmerized myself.

But I got talking with someone very very high up (and he should know)

He explained the circumstances leading to this 'anomaly' and it made some sense.

We live in surprising times.
Indeed, almost everything is possible. It's a phenomenal world for those of us steeped in 'how things have always been'.

Perhaps you will remember this thread in the future when you ascertain the validity of the claim above.

EducationRe: Sex For Grades . Share Your Experience!!! by Oktane: 1:11pm On Jul 28, 2021
Indeed sex for marks is a reality we have to live with.

If you however observe the academic prowess of the complainants, it will be clear to you why they experience such.

Any academically sound student irrespective of gender is like Polaris within the academic milieu and no lecturer will risk his reputation with him or her. Should he have an amorous interest then he will woo her properly and within acceptable societal bounds.

Take a look at the best female graduands from our universities even in these perilous times and a close look will show you that simply not dare.

Also, please be guided,many females cry wolf even when there is none within the horizon.

Incorrect, you cannot move from ET to a DM level even in 5 years, not to mention 3 years.

The lady you are talking about did so well for himself and knows her onion. In fact, she's an ED right now in one of the new generation banks
Yes you can. Of course it's a rare feat. I know a few of them in like 3 different banks. But again, it's like the proverbial camel and needle anecdote.
PoliticsRe: Femi Adesina: Real Reason Buhari Can’t Receive Medical Attention In Nigeria by Oktane: 12:12pm On Jul 28, 2021
osuofia2:
The South should stop making something out of nothing. PMB is not the only high profile individual seeking medical care abroad. OBJ did it, Osinbanjo is doing it, Tinubu is doing it. So why always single out baba Buhari.
I am yet to see who loves and have Nigeria at heart like Baba Buhari. He is not a Thief like Tinubu or Orji Kalu
Well! You are correct......and then again not correct.

Correct because indeed most high profile citizens seek medical attention outside these shores. Obasanjo, his widow,Yar'adua, Tinubu, perhaps gentleman Osinbajo and a host of others were all morally justified in doing help and nobody will complain.

Bihari on the other hand painted a picture for us when seeking our votes. We took him for his word. A man of valour and pristine integrity would rather die here than go against his word.

The Nigerian voter would have been easier on this man if he was even taking minor treatments in Nigeria like the likes of MKO Abiola and others. For goodness sakes who flies 7 hours to treat an ear ache?

Obi Cubana grew up in Affluence, his maternal Grandfather was Mr. Lawrenceville a Sanitary Officer in the colonial government of the Eastern Region, Obi's Father was Sir Nnaemeka Iyiegbu; Chief Akaeze Oba(Ask any pre-civil war Aba Businessman about him)
Obi's Mum was the Co-owner of Giant Steps International School, Õba.
Obi's Father set him up after his university graduation(just like most Igbo big men do), so his story is not about a son of a poor man that woke up one day and became a billionaire. No!
What you are seeing is generational wealth.
Today he makes his money from his chains of businesses like

ogbiwa:
Bros I see many people bashing you here and I don't blame them. You gave them no option with this your comment. How can you say government can't regulate a company because it's private? Do you know how many government licences and approvals DStv had to obtain to operate in Nigeria? So what will you say about mtn, glo and co that are also privately owned but being heavily regulated by NCC?
Secondly, your comment also shows gross insensitivity. [b]The national assembly has for once passed a bill that will help alleviate sufferings of the masses [/b]and you're here criticising it with ill informed analysis?
I don't think that the poster you quoted meant that DSTV should operate completely unbridled in Nigeria. Regulating an industry does not necessarily mean that you fix prices or impose a model. That negates the free market principle. DSTV and indeed all other PayTv operators are regulated in ways you cannot even understand.

I am of the opinion that PayTv should be pay as you watch hi but it shouldn't be enforced by the state. Competition is the best approach to this. Recall the per second billing model introduced by Glo.....even after MTN and co had sworn that it was unattainable.

It's such a shame that otherwise very educated people will crawl out of their shells and post absolute trash devoid of any objectivity whatsoever.

It's ever so sad that we cannot draw a line between sentiments and objectivity.

Watch the video or read the transcription word for word and then appraise the entire event objectively looking carefully at all the attendant scenarios.

This is better done while taking into consideration that the entire matter requires a very broad and guided understanding since one party is now incapable of relating his own side of the debacle.

Of course not. You should be grateful for the opportunity given to both of you to experience each other. But you could celebrate her with some sense of dignity.

Tossing her coffin up and down and fetting the world doesn't seem like a befitting farewell for her. Seems more like an ego trip or a validation seeking effort.

Pray! How does lying in state help her or you for that matter? Now an entire commercially viable industry has been woven around the lying in state event.

Have you ever given thought to what happens to the expensive caskets that are used to inter 'our' mortal remains?

It's basically poverty that makes us think befitting burial is a waste.
This is so wrong on all fronts.
A decent funeral does t have to be obscenely expensive. Neither are all ostentatious obsequies decent. For some reason I think the middle course predicated on moderation is the best route.

A few organisations may have gotten it right in this perspective.

This is not necessarily true.

No matter how wealthy you are if there is no equilibrium between your grey matter an your wealth and your maturity you will still be very immature in your understanding.

A funeral is a solemnity. It doesn't require nor deserve fanfare. It's the commemoration of a transition.

One could have fan fare to celebrate a milestone birthday or some other accomplishment but a funeral must be a solemn event where what is of benefit to the departed one is of uttermost importance.
