Kendrix69:
okay thanks. now for my friend who did his before me already picked the postal mail which will take like 2 months to get here. can he use the soft copy wes sends to him to apply to school pending the time he would be able to pay for international courier?
No sorry, there is a trademark on that Soft Copy as Unofficial and cannot be used... I always advise people to pay that 75$ to get the godammn document in 5days. Now he has to pay 75$ plus 30$ to get it because you may not receive that one sent via post. Dont try that again with Nigeria. However, things might have changed, if there isn't a trademark on it, you can use it.

Kendrix69:
for those people who applied to schools that required WES evaluation. Was it the E-copy you sent to the school/uploaded to your application portal or you scanned the hard copy? i want to know if there is need for me to pay 80$ for Courier shipping.
Pay that Money, and get it shipped to you, you can always submit unofficial copy for Admission purpose or you would have to always pay 30$ whenever you want to send the official copy of your evaluated Transcript

Every comment here from the OP down to the comment above mine failed to point out it wasn't Sowore in the picture getting beat up by the policemen.

Do you people filter information at all?

The picture says:

ABOVE: ...

OPPOSITE PAGE: this is where Sowore is.

C'mon y'all !!!
Yeah he isn't, the the same page is saying Sowore is a Survivor of Turture

The person being beaten is not Sowore.

Read the caption properly. More accurately, read the CAPTIONS properly. The first one is describing the photo above while the second one describes a photo on the opposite page which is not shown in this picture.
Yes hes not the one on this Picture but as described in the above page, hes a survivor of Turture

SportsRe: Real Madrid Fans Booed Ronaldo For A Bad Pass, He Went On To Score 4 (Throwback) by Predstan: 8:36am On Sep 12, 2019
BroadStreetBull:
Ronaldo does beyond the normal training schedule.

Ronaldo stays back and does extra training a lot of times.
He even trains sometimes on off training periods.
And it's well documented.
Even Evra said that last week.

That is the book worm analogy in this case.
Ok That's Fine

No p. I tot u were an engineer, so I was trying to clarify that aspect because you made it sound as if just heating it would solve the issue
That's fine

Hmm, that's not true. In fact heating it can be dangerous, because liquid content can cause components to burn if it is not completely drained. U didn't mention washing the board with spirit and applying paste before heating. Just heating a board without taking precautions is not proper.
Lol. I advised him to take it to an engineer.

BroadStreetBull:
Good.

Do you also agree that Ronaldo is more talented?
I believe you do!


So If you agree that Messi is more talented and Ronaldo is more hardworking.
Why does the analogy not apply?

Look at it strictly from the view of hard work and talent only, forget about social activities. After all they both do social activities.
In terms of socialization and other things outside football, Ronaldo does that more. Just like Ronaldo, Messi does not miss his training for being a talent
SportsRe: Real Madrid Fans Booed Ronaldo For A Bad Pass, He Went On To Score 4 (Throwback) by Predstan: 7:49am On Sep 12, 2019
BroadStreetBull:
I am sure that Ronaldo has got many fans and followers because;

1.He is good looking (trust me a lot of ladies and even men admire his looks, good looks is enough to wins fans for a human being)
2. He has played in 4 countries; and that his played a part to deepening his fanbase)

Not because he does 'other things'
Messi equally does other things, many players do other things.

But I assure you that he does not leave his training period or skip his training from Mondays to Thursdays because he wants to do 'other things' like you said.



Nobody ever said other players were not hardworking or that Ronaldo was not talented.
The problem you have is failure to read between the lines, or accept the grey areas.

The discussion is on Messi/Ronaldo.

Lemme put it this way (I pray and fast that you understand this time).

In terms of talent I might allocate 60 to Messi and 40 to Ronaldo.
In terms of hard work I might allocate 40 to Messi and 60 to Ronaldo.

Nobody says means that Ronaldo has no talent at all ot that Messi does not work at all.





In the same vein, nobody expects an intelligent student who excels in school not to study at all.

And nobody expects a book worm who excels in school not to have any intelligence at all.

That is the analogy he made with Messi and Ronaldo.
I have not disputed the fact that Messi is more talented but the analogy of bookwarm and a gregarious student does not explain what's between the duo...


Let's go back to work bro
SportsRe: Real Madrid Fans Booed Ronaldo For A Bad Pass, He Went On To Score 4 (Throwback) by Predstan: 7:09am On Sep 12, 2019
BroadStreetBull:
What other things does he do?

So he leaves training to attend to his businesses? SO he's the manager or director of this hotel for instance?

Or he leaves training to socialize and party?

So funny!



And by the way what gives you such impression that Messi does not run businesses, go for adverts and other social responsibities?
Very wrong impression.

So you've not also seen Messi play table tennis?
You've not seen Messi playing pool?
Well I have!


Haha,

Don't try to twist the guy's analogy;

It's a common saying that Ronaldo is a product of training and hard work while Messi is a product of talent and less work.

In the context of book work, Ronaldo becomes the book worm.

I am done, can't be arguing this common sense analogy with you.
So you werent even the person I quoted... Very interesting...

Take Panadol for your headache okay?
Again, his analogy does not explain what hes trying to say. Everybody knows who is more talented but his analogy does not explain the situation.

Why do you Think Ronaldo have more followers and more fans, because he has many other things doing. A Bookwarm is such a person who doesn't do any other thing to book. Ronaldo is a product of hardwork? Yes but do you mean other players are not hardworking to have not attained the Apotheosis that Ronaldo has?

Just like Messi, Ronaldo trains when it's time to.

BroadStreetBull:
You're so dull!

They are footballers not hip hop artist. Training is the work they do not business or socialization.

In this context, Ronaldo is the book worm who trains very hard, Messi is the guy who doesn't study too much but excels.

Ha! People can be dumb sha!!
I agree with you but your Analogy does not work here... Ronaldo has other things doing apart from football. Messi at the other hand does not have many things doing outside football. To go by your Analogy, Messi is the bookwarm while Ronaldo is the other. Ronaldo, just like he trains hard for football, he trains very hard for his modeling. Baba don day even play Golf.

Dumbhuh Well, you are not in a position to tell who is dull or not. An Obtuse person will not find other people smarter than he is.

MY HEART IS FILLED WITH ANGUISH AND DESPERATION AS I TYPE THIS.
I'M A 200L UNDERGRADUATE IN A NIGERIAN VARSITY THAT HAS BEEN STRUGGLING TO MANAGE FINANCIALLY IN MY ACADEMIC PURSUIT. I FEEL LIKE I'M ABANDONED BY MY PARENTS SINCE THEY HAVE MY OTHER SIBLINGS TO CATER FOR.
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS MONTH, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO REACH TO MY BELOVED PARENTS FOR FINANCIAL AID BUT ALL TO NO AVAIL SINCE THEY HAD NONE. TO EAT AT LEAST ONE MEAL WHICH I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO BEFORE HAS NOW BECOME A CHALLENGE TO ME. I'VE BEEN SUSTAINING MYSELF WITH #5O NAIRA SNACK EVERYDAY BUT NOW, I GOT NO MORE MONEY LEFT. MY SOLE ISSUE IS NOT EVEN TO BECOME EMACIATED BUT TO AVOID CONTRACTING AN ULCER IN THE LONG RUN.

Respect to a legend.

The difference between this guy and Messi is the this guys works extra hard to remain relevant in other words football na em work but Messi is gifted, he doesn't need to work extra hard to be relevant because to him football is a game.

Just like the 2 1st class student in one dapartment, one was a book worm; no panic, no partying, doesn't socialize at all while the other one was everywhere dey party, dey club, dey socialize but still maintain amazing grade after every exam. The 2 na 1st class graduates but we respect the latter cos if the former had tried what the latter did mehn that guy no go smell 2.1

Messi is na GOAT
I think Messi happens to be the Bookwarm who doesn't party nor socialize. Ronaldo at other hand, has numerous business and Socialization after football from modeling to other businesses

There is no way you can completely drain the water if not heated up especially when the water is so deep that it has reached the motherboard.
