kendrick93:
I wonder too....are those scenes actually shot in North Korea?
I don't think so, probably South Korea. I'm not sure the Korean government will give them license to even act such demeaning scenes in their country.

Treadstone is the best action spy series currently on right now...
The Fight scenes are well choreographed....
Acting is Ok and the storyline is manageable too...
But the action elevates this series....I'm entertained so far
I like it, it's one of the best series around now.
But I try to sieve through their sentiment against the Soviet Union and North Korea.
That of the Soviet Union is understandable given the political tension around that time, but North Koreans don't live as they're being portrayed.

I think the reason most Nigerians don't know about her is because she isn't everywhere like Chimamanda. She is quite reserved but VERY GOOD!

@ the bolded, True. But then again, how many Nigerians read?
Yea, she isn't one for fame. She lives the way geniuses do, simple and moderate.
I told alot of people shouting chimamanda and feminism together, that unlike her Nnedi talks about it as a whole rather than in part. While chimanda tends to concentrate more on gender, Nnedi talks about black excellence and the way blacks are always portrayed in Hollywood and the clear case of patriarchy pervading every sphere of society, she's indeed intelligent.
Then again, as you said, do Nigerians read?

@ Dathypebruv , Ebonygirl1 , UnimkeAk , tobstarizhia , jadeliyi , Erudite202 , Shaaz00 , bolugab , kenny160

I'm sorry, but the combined effort of trying to get across to you all and sending few or many of her books would actually be very stressful and take some time, so i wont be sending again. I apologize for disappointing you.

Like i told maynation , you can get her books on amazon and other online stores.
Please na, Please

Met her at Akefest a few days ago. Strong and imposing personality. Between then and now, I've read the Binti trilogy. Not bad I must say.
She's blunt and doesn't mince words right?

My Nnedi! Nigerians really slept on her tbh. She is good at the sci fi books she writes. She also writes for marvel and is best friends with George RR Martin (Game Of Thrones)
For real girl, whenever I make posts about her people don't know much about her. We're not yet ready to acknowledge Sci-Fi in Nigeria.

I have some of her books in digital format. They were so interesting !

About my book, i'll be posting some parts of it here soon. Courage to write and confidently present it to the public is not easy though, but if i dont try now, when will i, lol.
I've always been a fan of Nnedi, kindly send the digital format of the books please.

TravelRe: Cooking Stove Explodes On Train In Pakistan, Kills Over 70 (Pics) by Slimpotter(m): 1:29pm On Nov 01, 2019
oz4real83:
not completely. I only love the fact that it has a place for the masses unlike capitalism. Capitalism sees helping the masses as "charity" with the primary purpose of getting tax rebates from the govt but socialism doesn't. Dangote cannot help people for free. He cannot construct roads to help the people for free. He Must get a tax rebate for any of such "help".
Sadly that's how it is, capitalism has made the world poorer and widened income gap, bringing the middle class a stone's throw away from the lower class.

Capitalism has done too much harm than good to the society. Imagine travelling on a long journey without money for food even though food is sold on board. The poor are always been subjected to inhuman situations where they make wrong and risky decisions like cooking inside a train I even suspect will be over-crowded because of inability to buy food that is sold onboard. May their souls rest in peace.
Do you follow socialist ideals?

Ugh, crazy world...The problem is that the west is overfed, they have solved most of their problems so they have to manufacture new problems just to feel like human beings...
You're on point with this. Hong kongers have been protesting in China for what I do not understand for months now, some Chinese citizens are looking for freedom of speech and expression for a government taking care of them, well, nothing dey bother them again.

Hi.

The Hard drive must have shifted out of position.

All you need do is open up the PC (at your own risk grin), then locate the HDD and reposition it tightly.

Now, close up your system and power up.

If you can't do this, kindly refer to a computer technician (Errr, I'll advice you see a technician)


*cheers*
Thanks for your reply, please advise are what cost will the technician be able to fix it, so I won't be overcharged, thanks.

If the lease did not expire

HK will still.be under British occupation

Know that

HK rejoined China less than 25 years ago
That is why they are parallels
I don't get your point are you trying to justify Britain's hold on a region that never originally belonged to them, cause I don't understand this your constant need to separate China from Hong Kong.
It's a special administrative region, because of it's difference in political system, doesn't mean it's not part of the Chinese.
Will you also say Macao is not part of China too?

Wrong
Hong Kong is parrallel to China #Fact
No Chinese city is as developed as Hong Kong
They were only unfortunate to have the 100 year lease expire So they had to go back to China
Wrong There's only one country China There are two systems Mainland China's and Hong Kong SAR Again I'm talking about standard of living not development status.

Hongkong is more developed than china, it is also the place chinese companies goes to source foreign capital

Hongkong also have a very strong banking system to the extend that the world financial system is scared that we might go for a recession because of the protest going on there
What's the essence of being developed when there's widening inequality in Hong Kong, China is better when it comes to standard of living. And again Hong Kong is China, forget western connotations.

china has never been a wasteland, historically they have been an industrial nation, small japan didnt defeat all of china but a few weak places

Maa zedond did not make china what is it today, what he did was to unify china and create a communist state, during his rule, china was a poor country.

the opening of china made china rich.

there is a reason hongkong an island is more developed that china and that is because of less government interference in trade and the rule of law, also protection of private property aka property rights

Yeah it the function of govt to provide electricity, school and health apart from that nothing more.
Which HongKong?... Go and check the standard of living, and compare.
