CelebritiesRe: DJ Cuppy Admitted Into Oxford University For Her Third Degree (Photo) by Philipmems(m): 5:11pm On Oct 05, 2021
nextstep:
So... are we to assume then that most kids in Oxford are there because of rich parents? Why then does Oxford have a history of graduating intelligent students?
This is a reasonable argument, and I will engage in a civil discussion with you. There are two ways to get into elite schools like Oxford, Cambridge, Havard, MIT etc. The first is if you/family are wealthy and the second is gifted meaning you are funded by scholarship. Mind you these schools are not charity organizations and they don't dish out scholarships to everyone, the fees are expensive. According to a study carried out April 2021 only 140 students this year and the last 5 years received scholarship. The wealthy use their influence to insert their kids into these schools and can afford the expensive fee associated with schooling there. Why is it that most rich people's kids go to elite schools when I know some are not intelligent or gifted?

This is a study done in 2017 that shows that oxford has been giving admission to the kids of the wealthy for a long time. That is not to say the standard of the school has depreciated, I am just saying oxford is known to give admission to the kids of the rich.

Who cares? The attention your parents don't give you is what this clown comes to collect/ attract on social media. You got into Oxford because your father is rich, not because you are intelligent. Clown.

If you get scammed by these thieves you sure deserve it. I don't have pity for any of you, greed and instant gratification has led to you clowns losing your money to less educated scammers. I made lots of money through hard work, you think I will lose hard earned dollars to uneducated buffoons, lol, think again.
PoliticsRe: Mohammed Monguno Sponsors Bill To Compel FG To Regulate Food Prices, Others by Philipmems(m): 4:18pm On Oct 02, 2021
Confused buffoons, best decision I made in 2015 was to leave an OK job that was paying me 250k monthly as an IT supervisor for a multinational company to travel to the US. I can't imagine how life would be had I not taken that leap of faith/risk. How would I be able to give my lovely mother $1000 every month, drive a brand new car fully paid, take care of my siblings, own businesses, be a blessing to others, have my personal house and another for airbnb/lease, live life to the fullest.
God I thank you for wisdom, even me had doubt when I made this tough decision yet you showed me undefined favor.

Teach a man how to fish and you have fed him for the rest of his life.
Instead of disbursing cash to people why not invest in training youths in modern Agricultural procedures, create farming cooperatives equip with modern farming machineries, establishing farms for them using available government lands in a lease agreement, appoint supervisors to mentor and monitor progress and a portion of the profits from the yield should be reinvested in another batch of youths.

After studying for 5 years in school, considering the economic situation and ASUU constant strike, they will have to do an extra year just to be called "Engineer", there is no guarantee a job will be waiting for them. Who swear for this una country? The level of stupidity of your leaders is baffling.

Car TalkRe: Man Cries Out As Cow Destroys His New Car While The Fulani Herdsmen Look On. by Philipmems(m): 1:48pm On Jul 20, 2021
What a country, all noise no substance. Your education in the south is a waste of your time. Your leaders have failed you all, and the beauty about it all is that you will still vote for them. No one of the so called leaders or traditional ruler is saying anything about the killings and destruction of properties by these herdsmen, tomorrow they will come out and start sharing rice for you hungry people and you will vote for them. You all deserve your leaders.
The forest kept decreasing yet the trees continue to vote for the axe, they thought it was one of them because the handle was made of wood.

It's amazing how some people are angry at the display of wealth and power exhibited during the burial ceremony, I would be too if I were you but unfortunately I am not. Eat and enjoy your wealth while you are alive. You are not taking your money and affluence anywhere after death. Take good care of your immediate family, parents, siblings and loved ones that's all you owe yourself and the world.

mancoconut:
Southern Nigerians are easily the most stupid set of people in the world, brainless set of people who are content shamelessly bending over for the less educated North to keep pounding them in the arse with no lubes. It appears the only intelligent Southerners left in Nigeria are the ones mostly in the diaspora, at least those ones have some sense of pride in them... the ones in Nigeria are just irredeemably useless and perennially condemned to servitude. You'll see useless Niger Deltans ranting "our oyel, our oyel" yet Aboki dey use una oyel dey flex for Abuja and Dubai right in your face while daring you to do your worse, see how children of Northern politicians who own oil wells flaunt their wealth all over Twitter and tiktok while the average Niger Deltan still lives in the environmentally polluted and poverty-stricken creeks shouting "our oyel, our oyel"

Abeg hate the North or love them, but you've got to give it to them, those desert-dwelling sons of biTches are the masters of the South, they learned the good old classic art of "Divide and conquer" from their British protegies who taught them how to play the game.
Well said.

Regardless, he’s still the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. And As long as there’s still diplomatic ties between the two countries, they can NEVER deny him landing rights.

You just confirmed my suspicion, Ignoramus. "They can NEVER" are you just spewing rubbish or you are not well educated enough to understand that irrespective of diplomatic ties the sovereign of a country will not be compromised just because of "diplomatic ties".

So UK will deny the President of another country a visits and the country won’t send the ambassador packing immediately?
Our education system is a failure.
You are sadly the ignorant one, what does the UK have to gain from Nigeria? They can deny anyone from coming into their country directly or indirectly, if the UK love your country so much why have they not intervened in the boko haram crisis, why did they condemn the FG on the Twitter issue, do you think sending the ambassador out of Nigeria will make the UK have sleepless night. You as a Nigerian might be thinking too highly of yourself unfortunately.
PoliticsRe: Botched London Trip - PDP Taunts Buhari by Philipmems(m): 12:58pm On Jun 26, 2021
My suspicion is that the UK denied him entrance, one thing you must realize is that most countries has their eyes on Nigeria and things happening within (especially because of the twitter issue). Do you think the UK wants to deal with protesters against one African leader on their soil, when they have more important things to deal with. The only option bubu have is to import his personal doctor to treat him in naija or he can go to Turkey.
