This is not Musk coming from SA or white supremacy some people think this is about.

It's about SA being BRICS and still benefiting from USA, it's just a way to cut the free fund. Common sense.

Human Resources (HR) is quite specialized, so I would recommend the OP to consider Business Administration instead, as it offers a broader range of opportunities. With a background in Business Administration, they can keep their options open and be prepared for various opportunities that may arise in the future. This way, they won’t limit their chances when new doors open.
EducationRe: Which Course Has A Better Prospect? by pook(m): 5:58pm On Feb 03, 2025
Pursuing a degree in Business Administration offers significant opportunities, as it opens doors to various roles in both government and private sectors. In the public sector, there are numerous positions suitable for business administration graduates, while in the private sector, their skills are highly versatile and applicable across multiple industries.

If I could revisit my past, I would choose to study Statistics over Microbiology. The field of Statistics provides unparalleled flexibility, as statisticians are in demand across virtually every industry.

Ultimately, success often depends not just on the potential of a field, but on the immediate opportunities it presents.

You mean the same Hezbollah that fired a barrage of Rockets into Israel a few days ago?

You mean the Russia that keeps taking more and more territories every day?

The same Russia that warned the whole west not to step foot into Ukraine and they obeyed it till today.

Your US have been exposed of sponsoring ISIS terrorists. Bow your head in shame. Terrorist nation.
Many people don't realize that Russia has seized an area of land in Ukraine comparable to the entire size of Nigeria. The large map can be misleading
HealthRe: Can Nescafe Have Effects On My Pregnancy? by pook(m): 3:10pm On Dec 01, 2024
Being pregnant while preparing for exams can present challenges, particularly when it comes to sleep. Sufficient rest is crucial for success in major exams, as it enhances concentration and memory retention. Therefore, it's important to prioritize good sleep habits and maintain a nutritious diet.

To optimize your study sessions, consider adopting the Pomodoro technique. This involves studying for 25 minutes and then taking a 10-minute break. During the breaks, short naps can be helpful to recharge your energy levels. Consistently following this approach can lead to improved performance in your exams, regardless of your pregnancy.

Additionally, anecdotal evidence suggests that individuals who consume cannabis may experience certain benefits, such as enhanced relaxation and improved sleep quality, which can aid in memory retention. However, it's important to consider healthier, legal alternatives to boost focus and well-being while studying.

All snitchers are informants, but not all informants are snitchers. For example, an informant may be a police officer or even a thief who is carrying out their duties, but a snitch on the opposing side is someone who poses as an ally in order to obtain information from you and provide it to the enemy or the opposing viewpoint.

Many Ukrainians are reportedly losing faith in the war effort, and some believe Ukraine's position weakened following Trump's presidency. There are controversial opinions about the relationship between Trump and Putin. Some doubt that Zelensky will be able to sustain the war effort beyond January.

The population differences between both countries is much, the early stages of the war, manpower was not an issue moral was high and people were willing to defend their country, but the war of dombass is a war of attrition it takes a huge toll of the mind.

Joining NATO means the war has ended, no one is stupid enough to attack a NATO member its also not possible to admit Ukraine into NATO when they are currently engaged in a conflict
Russia has already won the war, and Trump should encourage Ukraine to accept defeat while allowing Russia to feel in control during negotiations. Anything less could lead to further escalation. Meanwhile, Biden seems to be complicating any potential peace efforts by Trump. As for Zelensky, he appears ready for any escalation as he has nothing to lose.

Ukraine will never win a war with Russia, check Russia military spending and Ukraine spending, both countries manpower and military hardware you will find that this is a vastly unbalanced war.
Us military aid is trying to balance the scale even at that its still not balanced.

The Ukrainians have turned out to be very industrious nobody gave them a chance. They have proved with the right amount of military aid they could hold their own.

I am not Zelensky, I can't speak for Ukraine. I don't know what victory means to them. Fighting off a major invasion by a supposedly world power and still retaining your sovereignty may seem like victory to some. Losing some lands may also be victory to some against total annihilation. Victory might also be driving Russia away from Ukrainian lands and taking back Crimea. Victory here is subjective.

Am all about the US victory in the war.
But you see the victory of the US and the collective west, started the day putin invaded, without boots on the ground, or firing a bullet NATo has expanded, especially the inclusion of Finland which makes an encirclement of Russia feasible, Russia forces are being decimated daily. Its military patterns and fight modes are being studied.

I love trump, because Biden too soft on terrorist Iran, but a Harris presidency would have ensured another four years of Ukraine military aid which translate to four more years of Russia military decimation, more loss of Russia military personnel and the general downgrading of its military and economy.

Putin influence has waned since this war started, there has been a paradigm shift on putin since his surprise alliance with North Korea and his public and much televised cuddling to XI of China. Everyone knows that the Russian economy is at the mercies of China. Russia has lost it fear factor.

So my guy, I do not know what a Ukraine victory would be, but I am interested in the west victory, which is the gradual decimation of the fighting capability of Russia.
Ukraine's primary challenge since the start of the war has been manpower. President Zelensky is keen on joining NATO primarily to bolster his campaign with additional troops. Once Trump is inaugurated in January, it could prove problematic for him.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
So because Russia leads,how does it change the fact that NATO combination will overpower Russia
It's more complicated than it seems. If Putin launches nukes at Ukraine, would any NATO country want to retaliate, knowing they might get hit back? Most people would realize pretty quickly that they should stay out of it, and most nations' nukes would be activated if anyone used theirs. That's just part of the nuclear deal. It's complicated stuff.

You have lost touch with reality . If Biden actually wanted to start a war ...he would ve done it long time not at the dieing minute if his regime . Your point is not logical . If indeed Russia is a responsible country ...they would ve suspect ded the fight till trump comes in . Already trump has announced to the world that he will ensure this war stops the few days he come Into power . Is like putin doesn't respect anyone . Unfortunately for him.he is not the only one with nuclear weapon...his air defence system couldn't even save Iran from Isreal attack ...He has a long way to go ...eliminating his political enemies within his country further justify reading why his neboring countries are seeking nato protection . The fact still remains that nobody is Interested in attacking ...only a thief runs when nobody is chasing him . Putin is that thief...
So, you thought that the Democrats were expecting a Trump landslide in all the swing states in the last presidential election. Don't you know that the Republicans will take power in January? Do you think Biden will want to harm the government of Kamala Harris?

Did you read what you wrote. Over 800km of Russia border is Finland and Sweden who are Nato members. They joined Nato because of Russia agression towards Ukraine and why did Putin not attack both countries? He did not cos those two countries has superior firepower when compared to Ukraine and he was thinking Ukraine will be a walk in the park. This war has opposed Russia and Putin are all noise and nobody cares about him now. Before the war, Ukraine will not in.millions years fire towards Russia but now, it's daily occurance and even attacks people inside Russia.
From a Russian perspective, Ukraine is not just a neighboring country, it is a larger part of the Soviet Union. Allowing Ukraine to join NATO is like letting your wife go to your opponent's house and having her get involved in a g!ng-bang.

You're a bloody lier.

NATO refused Ukraine Joining it since 2008, when Ukraine and other non NATO members then, were sacred of Russian invasion.
Before Ukraine, NATO already has its boarders with Lithuania and Estonian, has NATO invaded Russia since then.
You guys need to grow up and stop supporting the idiot despot called Putin. If Russia was to be a democratic country, this was shouldn't have happened.
Power corrupt and absolute power corrupt absolutely.
I'm an observer as you but commenting what transpire to the war drum. As you can see USA influence has moved to Europe which they are not part of. Remember in a normal clime Russia should be calling the bigger shot in Europe. And its a fight between two world power. 



We will be damn not to think that this two country have not been firing back at each other. Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran, Israel are all proxy to either USA or Russia.



As it was revealed lately Hezbollah base was discovered to harbour lots of new Russian weapons. Don't be deceived to think Russia will respond to the ACTCAM missile, they will use this proxy to hurt USA.



I pray the two country don't start a direct attack, it will have an impact to our economy. Nigeria Naira relies on world trade major currency which will further spell our reality.

Can you listen to yourself? The last time I checked Ukraine is an independent nation ...they don't need Russia permission to join any association . Usa doesn't prevent any of her nebors from joining any association . Brazil recently joined brets ...where Russia is the leader ...nobody is forcing them not to join . If Russia is Indeed a good country why all her nebors are interested in joining nato? No democratic country will not like to join nato for there protection against undemocratic country like Russia etc
After World War II, the USA formed an alliance called NATO, which the Soviet Union (now primarily led by Russia) did not want to be part of. The treaty includes documents about NATO's non-aggression towards the east a.k.a not moving it NATO base toward east, and every NATO member country has nuclear plants, infantry, or bases.

If Ukraine joins NATO, it means that the USA will have its bases close to Russia. If something happens in the future, the USA can easily attack Russia. Remember, this is just after World War II, and members of this treaty do not trust each other. It's a way of predicting the future that we are experiencing now.

Biden wants to start a war and make it difficult for Trump to make peace with Russia. An escalation will make Trump's tenure difficult and delicate.

It's important to note that the proposed removal of VAT will not have a significant impact on the overall situation. The tuition fee for a student is N200,000, and the VAT charge is N250, making the total payment N200,250.

The main reason for discussing the removal of VAT is that Nigerians are tired of propaganda and empty promises.

PoliticsRe: NERC Directs Discos To Provide Free Replacement For Old Meters by pook(m): 5:53pm On Nov 18, 2024
If your current meter is not functioning properly, they may be able to repair it, but they are unlikely to replace it with a prepaid meter. Their policy is to prioritize issuing prepaid meter for people who are ready to pay for it, and even if you have the funds to purchase one, you may not be eligible for one unless you meet certain criteria and they tend to favor those who are willing to pay additional fees offrecord.
