[quote author= post=102527708]Twitter made a statement in which they said they don't know President Buhari and which country he runs.

When you're blinded by hate and self imposed narrow mindedness, you will applaud someone who is clearly insulting you.
Most Nigerians who are sympathetic with Twitter today don't know how much of an insult this comment is to even them.
They see Buhari as the target here but there are two elements in this insult.
Twitter says they don't know President Buhari.
But they didn't stop there.
They also added that they don't know the country he is leading. In other words they don't know Nigeria.

Twitter is brazenly saying they don't know Africas most populous nation and the country with the highest concentration of black people in the world. Twitter is brazenly saying they don't know a country where over 11 billion dollars of their revenue comes from with over 40 million subscribers.


Some years ago Pastor Chris Oyakhilome chose to use twitter to communicate some prayer information to Christ Embassy members worldwide.
Within few weeks Pastor Chris broke the records of having the most amount of followers within such a short period.

In their arrogance, Twitter called Pastor Chris' twitter account to question and described the followership as bogus.

Simply put, Twitter believed that nobody from a place like Nigeria had enough clout to garner such followership within such a short time - a feat that no Hollywood star was able to achieve -.

Pastor Chris wasn't prepared for their drama, he pulled out of twitter and challenged his church tech people to design a platform that the church can use. That's what gave birth to Yookos.

Today Yookos is a formidable competitor with Twitter so much so that ex President Barack Obama acknowledged the giant strides made by the platform within such a short time after it was launched.

Eventually twitter confirmed Pastor Chris' account and "apologized" but it was too late.
Pastor Chris had moved his huge followership into Yookos.

Several years later Twitter is saying that they don't know the country that the same Pastor Chris comes from.
That's arrogance taken too far.

Any Nigerian who tolerates this insult is just a self hating sychophant.

Someone says you and your country don't matter and you're jubilating.
Is that not a serious sickness?

On a lighter note,
*We heard someone telling his landlord that his rent money for the year is trapped in his Twitter account*

*The landlord too is now abusing Buhari

The brunt of this issue rests on the receiver(employee)

An employer should be able to envisage what he'd make from his venture, thus project the amount to be paid as salary. Working with good business ethics and a sound itinerary, an employer shouldn't be concerned on how payments are made(monthly, weekly or daily). Whichever he decides will still produce the same figure at the end of the day when audits are done, thus the financial effect will be the same no matter the model he chooses.


Now on the part of the employee, his personality will determine how well/how much he can manage his stream of wages. Engaging in this daily contribution is certainly a wayout for a lot of people who do not know how to balance expenses and save.

Finally, life na trial by error there is no sure path. But my comment was made ceteris paribus

Incognito403:
I agree with all points except striked out parts.

I think the best characters were Subzero, Kano and Sonya in that order.

The past movies were also disappointing. Only the games had glory.

My opinion though.

Yea, sub zero was a good character too, forgive me for skipping him, but jax was equally well suited for his role.

The past movies tump this one in comparison though.

tobenuel:
your points 3 and 5 are so true , have you seen the animation MK scorpion's revenge?, It's quite similar with the MK 2021

Yea, similar plot/storyline

JennyOfOldstones:
This is quite a long rant. Spoilers below for those that haven't watched it

1)The dialogue was trash...stilted in most parts especially those of the guy playing Cole Young

2) I didn't like the way the found out about the existence of the MK Tournament, Sonya knowing everything because of "research" and then trying to bring all the champions together for no good reason seemed pretty unrealistic and too convenient for me especially since she didn't have the mark herself.

It would have been better if Lord Raiden or Liu Kang(who was training under him) approached them to recruit the champions due to urgency because of how fast the tournament was approaching or even to warn them about Shang Tsung's plan to kill them but Raiden actually let them try to find his temple (a location Sonya was searching for for years but which somehow Kano conveniently knew) then sent Liu Kang (who somehow had enough psychic powers to know they were coming) to welcome them.

Liu Kang even tells them upon arrival that they have to start training immediately because the tournament was fast approaching. If things were so urgent, then why not go looking for them earlier? It's so obvious that Raiden doesn't give a f**k about earthrealm in this movie even though he's supposed to be its protector.

You smart abegi. This is how you know people that really watch movies. M even surprised ts a girl that made this sweet analysis

bejeria101:
My issues with movies like this. We know the basic story line coming to put what isnt there would just damage everything for the viewers.

Blunder of the century! Captain america carrying Thors hammer. Thor is a god not a human o.

Captain can carry Thor's hammer na. The blunder was him wielding lightening with it

OCHOdee:
I read somewhere that Zack Snyder, the maker of Man of Steel, Justice League, Army of the Dead etc was not given the franchise to contine MK.
I just wonder/imagine what it could've been

Anyway as a fan of MK video games, I truly enjoyed it

The movie lacked what movies of its class in this century should have.

Uwa mmebi

MK 2021 was a complete disappointment and a stain on the MK franchise.
From their wack fight choreography to poor choice of characters.

1. Raiden was just looking like a dude trying very hard to look strict and hide his laughter

2. Shag tsung was looking more like a vampire.

3. Mighty liu kang was acting like a high school poet.

4. Story line was just wack too,

5. The best characters were jax, sonya blade, kano.

6 the next movie should please be made by another better director.

7. This movie only made headlines due to past glory (the old movie and the video game)

8. Lemme pause here for now to read other comments

Inexperienced and unqualified charlatans parading themselves as technicians. RIP to the dead
