In a community of the blinds, a man with one eye will be the King. That's why the church rat think of himself as a rich guy. I still throw the challenge out to him and his gang that I will triple anything they come up with to go to Motherless Children's Home in Maryland or any recognized Charity and the MODs and Pdpguy will be the umpires. I am saying this openly and I hope they take me up. My Sendwave Account is on my phone as I type. I hope any of these unpaid Coons take me up on my offer.
You still dey use Sendwave?

He thinks only rich people are overseas.
Shock on him , his wealth is a drop in the ocean in comparison to Umudikeans.
Not Umudikeans on civil servant salary or those happy with N200k monthly salary though, neither those complaining about £500 rent in London grin grin grin

Why won't I be patient with people who think seeking equity in maths is a bad thing or that claim some say maths is racist? Can I not recognise that some people received substandard education and so have not learnt to use their minds?

I have this book I read often where it is written that I must 'forgive them because they do not know what they do', and I understand "forgive" as 'have compassion for their ignorance', so that's what I do. It also has written in it that one must say 'peace', and then dust their dust of oneself as one departs from them, and I know how to do that too.

You should try it sometime and see how they go pissing in the wind mentioning you in every post to get your attention which is what they crave. Starve them and they eventually wither and die. Hmm, I think that's in my book too actually.
I commend you for your patience. You are a very good guy entertaining their ignorance because these guys have no experience of what it means to live in a country where your skin color gives you an automatic advantage if it's pale. I could work into a Bank to refinance my House and I can guarantee you that I will probably be given a different terms on refinancing my mortgage than the one that will be given to a White guy that has lower credit score than I. What do these loudmouths know about that. How many Houses or Cars have they bought in US to make them an experts ?. That's why I find engaging with them meaningless.

How many Civil Servants in Nigeria earns N200.000 monthly exclusive of the so called Thieflicians. The likes of obixcel at most is N80.000 and that's me being generous and considering the hyper inflation in Nigeria, that's equivalent of N50.000 which is still a poverty wage in my estimation.

Sendwave is $ to $ remittance. Check it out. I did one yesterday and my cousin got his money in $$$. The charge is 1% of your remittance and that means you only pay $10 on $1K remittance.

Adefarasin was the one who said his wife is abroad with his children in case the country goes into civil war. Well, I don't blame him because most fathers will look out for their families first.
His wife and children are abroad seeking superiority while some are here yelling against those seeking mere equity. See how ridiculously unknowing they can be?

PrideofLincoln2:
The thing is Nigeria can still be saved but maximum pressure must be brought on these looting Thieflicians that are mortgaging the future of the coming generations. The more I visit Nigeria, the worse it gets.
Nigeria's problem is not "looting Thieflicians". We would for instance not blame drumptf if he had gotten a second term, we'd be here blaming maga Americans for sitting on their asses and letting him get enough votes to get the second term, but see as Stacy Abrams did not sit on her ass! She organised and even hired buda to raise up the dead to vote and kick his orange ass to the kerb!

Nigeria's problem stems from the likes of those we argue with on here not knowing to elect what's good for them, which is why they'll likely end up with a dollar at ₦1000 by the end of the year as Tdotbluejays1 predicted. Then next election they'll be here yelling Tinubu or Atiku for president as if they don't already know either would be worse than bubu.

I can't disagree with you but one thing you have to realize is that the poverty in Nigeria has compromised our people to support the same inept politicians that are mortgaging their future. I have seen political rallies in Nigeria where the politicians are distributing a little bag of rice with N1.000 and some Ankara outfits that will fade after one wash. That's why I say these people are compromised by poverty. Why should someone expect a Thieflician to pay him or her to vote and not expect the Thieflician to loot from the treasury. It is a circle of corruption that is damaging Nigeria and I doubt if it can be stemmed.

Any engagement with them that does not consider their ignorance and hence the need to educate them is indeed meaningless. And the reason to educate them is their ignorance ruins Nigeria. But though some of them may prove to be uneducatable, one must recognise that there are thousands like them in the same class reading the same post and who just might be educated by one's engagement.

I guess I can't forget my teaching education despite leaving the profession long before some of them were even conceived. Its like you got one stupid ignorant child talking nonsense in class. A smart teacher's responses to such students educates others in the same class. But after a while one must recognise they are just disruptive students, and exclude them from future lessons so those who may will learn.

You don't step out of this thread much, Pride. If you did you find there's thousands like them on here suffering and being educated, or not. And as you must know, a buddha must teach that their suffering is of their own doing.

You need to ask those who claim "maths is racist" how maths is racist.

Equity in "maths instruction", which is the more appropriate phrase, is giving all students in a class an equal opportunity to learn. That's what Kennedy is saying in the image below.

A parent, however, a competent and aware one at least, would rather give their child superior advantage in all subjects they learn in school, as described below, which is why some parents send their children to the best schools and pay for them to get extra lessons.

budaatum:
You clearly do not understand what you are reading!

I am buda! I did not seek equity for my child in maths and all other subjects my children studied! I sought superiority in maths for my children instead by teaching them myself from when they were in the womb and by ensuring they practise and study maths and their other subjects more than any other person's children as soon as they were born because I know the importance of maths to my childrens education and their future!

You be there settling to be equal to others if you wish! Some are pushing for much better. But schools must at least be fair regardless of race, gender, ethnic origin, wealth, religion, etc etc!

But exactly! If a politician invests by giving you ₦1000, it's obvious they'll recoup their investment when in office, so why would anyone allow poverty to make them accept ₦1000 from a politician who's sole purpose is to increase their poverty? Is it not ignorance?

These people are not compromised by poverty, Pride. They are compromised by their own ignorance which is what makes them seek instant relief but which just compounds their poverty.

By treating children in class equally and fairly regardless of race, colour, religion, etc etc.

Below are examples of lack of equity.

budaatum:
I should not expect you to understand. You are fortunate to not have children growing up in a society where they are a minority or they would have come home to inform you how they can be discouraged from simply asking questions in class or how the teachers might answer questions from white kids and not from them, or how they are written off just because of the colour of their skin.

The book has nothing to do with this. This could happen in any subject and there are racist teachers. You show you have no understanding of what I am talking about. Besides I have nieces, and nephews who studies abroad. Non of them have made any such claims. It's not to say such things don't happen. Right now we are talking about maths.

I don't understand but you can't answer my questions. It's not to be on Nairaland wearing the smart monopoly. I don't suck up to nonsense, no question I asked you ever answered the great god of wisdom. As usual you brush it to the side.

I guess the mathematicians who thinks these are bullshit are not smart but the sjw who don't major in maths or understand anything in math who draft the proposal are the smart ones because they have the word RACIST in it so you and Tdotbluejays1 most embrace the delusion.

I am still waiting for a delusion you don't support.

They are not camping at Tinubu's house on Bourdillon Avenue daily because of hunger! They are camping at Tinubu's house on Bourdillon Avenue daily because they are stupid and ignorant, and thankfully those are the minority.

The majority hungry but not ignorant are not camping at Tinubu's house on Bourdillon Avenue daily because they are out there struggling really hard to do whatever it takes to get their daily bread.

That was how Adedibu brought Amala politics to Ibadan. Same was applied in Ilorin via Saraki.
All over the north, same thing applies. The rankadede goons and almajaris.

The Nigerian political class has mastered the art of throwing crumbs to the masses in Nigeria. Similar to how you train a dog. I remember how they hid the Covid palliative in warehouses all over the country. The aim is to rebrand and give it out at election period to secure votes.
