Decisions, Decisions
In this video, I disclose how I narrowed down my choice to one university amidst several PhD scholarship offers. It actually came down to choosing between the University of London (SOAS) and the University of Warwick. I share the particular factors that I considered such as money (yes money), supervision, rankings, location, and job prospects.

The issue we have selecting credible leaders is not in the general election.
The political parties end up presenting incredible candidates as flag bearers. Consequently electorates are tied to voting any of the incompetent person provided.

Which lends credence to the fact that american democracy isn't democracy at all.

Election tactics by Donald drumpf... when has UAE and Bahrain ever been at war with Israel? The only peace deal that could be big in the middle East is between Israel and Palestine. Bahrain is a peaceful kingdom that United States tried unsuccessfully to dethrone their king in 2011 Arab upsrings. US is the most hypocritical country on earth... their cities are burning while they are negotiating peace deal between unfriendly nations.

You dey mind them, meanwhile Americans think their country is doing a good job in the middle east, after being responsible for the conflicts.

Choi..what a life! It is saddening to hear her story and that she was not emotionally strong to fight the thoughts of suicide off. I know how most chinese girls and ladies can be very emotional and tempermental in certain situations they fall into. I have heard of those who took their own lives cuz of a lover, or cuz of financial loss. I stayed in China for 4 plus years and I got to understand them more. I know lanzhou, eeyah.. see how a young lady just died when she could have hung on to life. It's as if i knew her even, cur i feel sad right now. It will pass. Zhe ge shenquo bu rongyi sad

flyca:
Let me emphasize on a few things:

1. I do not fault one child policy in the cause of Daisy’s death. I do believe that every sensible government should do what they can to control their population according to their resources. China was in an economically bad place in the 80s hence their urgent need to take care of their population. Now that things improved, they relaxed their policy to accommodate two kids per home.

2. I blame Daisy’s ignorant parents for her death. They loathed her and their too much favoritism for a male child ruined Daisy's self-esteem and self-confidence. I believe that every child (male or female) should be gratefully accepted and treated with respect. No child is better than another. Men and women are equal as they are both unique in their own ways and each have their own unique role to play within any given family or society.

3. We as Africans have an entirely different concept friendship, marriage, death and other things to the Chinese people. So a lot of these things may not be understood by you looking at it from the African perspective.

4. Finally, in your comments, please be gentle.

Thank you for reading

I'm sorry for your loss, to loose a loved one is a hard burden to bear, alot of us have lost loved ones and we can only hope to recover from the loss.

The female child has always been regarded below the pecking order in societies for reasons that are understandable but not excusable. Parents should always love their kids equally no matter the gender, because she's a woman doesn't stop her from being your own child forever just like the male, suffering for acceptance is very bad but very few would understand in Nigeria since people think more about their stomachs over here.
Thank you for making clarifications for the purpose of the one child policy before some people come here and misconstrue it as with their hatred for China and their policies.

To help you think, the people committing atrocities in America are the police and they are not getting away with it, they are being arrested.

Here in Nigeria, Herdsmen are killing and they are owning up to it, yet your grandpa buhari cannot arrest them.

Zombie, what do you call that

Well the police are not entirely being arrested though, cause alot has happened that they've ignored.

Russia is known for their military prowess and amazing military hardwares, not medicine. Well, what do I even know?

Let's watch how this pans out.

Russia has no Communist leanings, they just cooperating with Communists because they share a common adversary in the American government who thinks it's their job to control everything.

I love China's progress but they should steer clear of the US. The US can obliterate China in one fell swoop.

Chinko, don't start what you can't finish.

All the military equipment China is using today are all copy cat of the US inventions. Raptor F22 was copied into Chengdu, China should provoke the US, we have enough land to bury them.

My advice to China: Don't forget Hiroshima and Nagasaki in a hurry
.

US can do this, US can do that, I do wonder where you people get this notion from that the Americans can win China in a war, there are no historical evidences of their military might to support this ego showoff you guys keep handing them.

This is why I say I don't understand Nigerians.

All the loans we've been taking from IMF and World bank all these years, for which we saw next to nothing on ground, we didn't complain much, if at all.

Now we're taking loans from China to build proper infrastructure that we can all see, and we're up in arms about China 'colonising' the country.

What a confused set of people!

Leave them na.
For same set of people who are adept at supporting the wrong people in power I don't expect much. They hate China for no reason.

Alberta123:
Most Nigerians are boldly ignorant and very loud.

You dare not correct them. They will abuse you.

They will direct there frustration into anyone willing to educate them.

A simple research will have told them China can now take Nigeria as a nation to court and take over the trains they borrowed us money for if we failed to pay back since we've waived our sovereignty as a nation.

This is just what any banks or money lender will do if you borrow money and can't pay up.



And I don't see what's wrong with that.

This country can never and will never work under democratic system of govt with the current constitution. A senior or junior military officer with vision needs to take over amend the constitution in line with the report from confab and return the government to democratic govt.

Why must we even run a democratic system of electing leaders at stipulated periods, can't we just do what will work for us. Copying western democracy is nonsense because it doesn't take note of oyr peculiarities and drawbacks.

Just too docile, the thing is alot of them don't care, they know Nigeria is bad but they've accepted it as normal. This country isn't even on track for anything, it's ready going backwards.
I refuse to accept this is normal, because some feel it's just turn by turn, that's why they find fulfillment in contesting for public office only to steal.
Politics / Re: China Loan: Amaechi Says "No Need To Panic, Nigeria Is Already Paying Back" by Slimpotter(m): 5:10am On Aug 03, 2020
Rossikki:


It's their colonial mentality that is disturbing them, plus US anti-China propaganda on Youtube influencing them.

IMF and World Bank gave them billions with nothing to show for it, while installing/supporting puppet pro-western regimes in Nigeria.

China is giving them loans with tangible results we can see on the ground around us from roads to various railway projects to airports to dams and factories, and are apolitical, with no interest in influencing our politics, but China are the 'enemy' who want to 'colonise our country', while the USA, UK and co are our 'friends' and 'partners'.

Stupid upside down thinkers.

We have a lot of them, especially those who claim US gave us freedom to use facebook and their other social media apps freely.

The annoying thing of all these is that I'm yet to see one accusation the west has laid on China that they're not complicit of.

I still bet you don't remember where your argument started, we talked about technology innovation, but you continue to influx political issues into the matter. Time reveals all truth. Hope you know about Sir Lanka? Who is wicked? Giving a loan for infrastructure, where the local community won't be main contractor, still they will pay for the project, when they default their sovereignty is gone and they will still pay?

How is Nigeria, African dealing with the Corona gift? Remove mediocrity from your life it will help you.



Save your data. Mate

I can see you like going round circles to defend your friends in the west.
Well if you're so sure of yourself, point to one thing the Chinese has done to any country and I'll show you where your precious west has done worse.

abduljabbar4:
Why is Amaechi even wasting his time on these people. They are okay with Africans being slaves to the IMF and collecting loans that mostly ends in the pockets of white companies and corrupt politicians, but they have problems with low-interest, long-term loans from China. It's only an irresponsible government that will fail to repay such loans (given the time and interest rate of the deal).

Modified
Some Cownu minions are not aware that China has canceled loans for African countries without giving stupid conditions like approval of gay marriage. Not only that, China has never endorsed a candidate in our country or tried to fforce us into going for destructive policies (SAP). They claim that they have never taken over a country, yet great African leaders like Ghaddafi are dead today for refusing to become puppets. Not only that, they have taken over Iraq and Ivory Coast while still fighting to seize Syria and Venezuela. They are always quick to mention Zambia (which failed to repay due to incompetence) , but they don't care about the plight of our neighbors in the hands of France who controls their economies and even funds terrorist groups to cause unrest in the region (of course, why should they care when France is an ally to USA their masters). They supported USA's evil agender against our own Akinwumi Adesina just because they hate everything that sounds like Yoruba and Nigeria but thank God, they have failed.


But then, even their leader called them pigs and idiots so no surprises here. If majority of African countries prefer to go for "evil" Chinese loans over Angel World Bank, then there must be a reason. Even their master (America) owes China over a trillion dollars



Modified for the 2nd timecheesycheesycheesy

China has never threatened us with sanctions for refusing to accept their deals unlike their masters. Ask Angola or Rwanda about what they faced for choosing to grow their local industries (textile I think)



China has never colonized nor sabotaged our industries but it's the Chinese that are bad.
I see that Nigerians are sinophobic and are very ignorant, hating on the Chinese for no good reason, they act like the west ever cared for us.
