Sports / Re: Augustine Eguavoen Did A Fine Job As Super Eagles Coach (Unpopular Opinion) by smartoliver(m): 1:35pm On Nov 21, 2022
I would say the OP is wise. It was so dirty watching both games we played against Ghana. I think we would have done better if Eguaveon never listened to people but played his preferred line up in Abuja. Nevertheless, our problem was never Eguaveon, it has always been Amaju Pinnick. That man has become a failure. He had better sack this Peseiro, and resign from his position. We need a new start, and we need it now

Sports / Re: Ajibade, Kanu, Oshoala Nominated For CAF Women’s Player Of The Year Award by smartoliver(m): 12:53pm On Jul 07, 2022
Good news for both South Africa and Nigeria although SA are doing more in women football. I was shocked to see our female team coached by a white man. The man didn't look like he had things figured out during that last match against SA. let's see how our girls perform today. I hope Asisat gets this even though she's out of the WAFCON tournament. She had a great season with Barcelona, I don't think this year's tournament will be used as a yardstick for the CAF best player until next year .

Why not stick to the topic at hand? Should the negativity in our country stop us from talking about the negativity affecting us in other countries?
Gerrard59:
A citizen of a country where two ethnic groups are at loggerheads online because their kinsmen are presidential candidates is asking a question on how racism affects Nigerians in China - a way more prosperous society than his.


The jokes write themselves.
Travel / Re: Racism In A Foreign Land by smartoliver(m): 10:51am On Jun 29, 2022
Thank you for this. I was thinking about ways to reply those messages just to clarify my stance. Even though I understand what they mean, but I do feel the effect of racism in a foreign country is much more different than the effect of tribalism here in Nigeria. For example : I have seen where tribal differences cost some people job opportunity just as racism would, but all tribes in Nigeria share a toilet, they share a seat next to each other on a bus and so many other instances like you already gave
CanadaOrBust:






OP this is not true. There is something about racism that touches the soul. Tribalism is only “skin deep”, so to speak. A Yoruba guy does not feel superior to an Igbo guy. A Yoruba guy will not refuse to sit near an Igbo guy in train or bus. An Igbo guy will feel nothing about having a Yoruba guy move into the neighborhood or even next door. A Yoruba guy will not stand up when an Igbo guy sits down next to him on the train or bus. A bunch of Igbo guys will not keep standing when there are open seats next to a Yoruba guy but quickly sit down once a sit opens up next to a fellow Igbo guy. In the particular case of China, a bunch of Yoruba guys will not stylishly cover their noses when close to an Igbo guy or when an Igbo guy passes, etc...

Thank God you came out of this unscathed. God bless you man. Just be more careful next time. Really wish Nigerians were more cautious about their parking style even when a vehicle develops fault
PALAPALA02:


I understand i have my own faults. I got distracted by the google map on my phone.

But was the truck meant to park on the speedlane. And even if it developed a fault, he ought to have used his caution sign and double pointer, atleast that could have alerted me earlier to what was infront of me.

Modified
I’m not downplaying the fact that i was wrong in certain aspect, but i feel more of the blame should have been on the driver for being careless by not taking the appropriate steps to prevent an accident.

A car / truck or whatever can breakdown at anytime, so that’s where the safety kits of the vehicle comes into use. And the driver used none. If he had placed the caution sign atleast 150m from the truck, probably if i had hit that first, that would have prompted me quicker to raise my face and possibly avert the collision. That was my argument with the police. But they kept saying i was wrong to have hit a vehicle from behind. That it shows I wasn’t focused on my driving and completely neglecting the careless driver.

I just carried my cross and left. Atleast I’m not at the hospital treating a fractured bone or internal bleeding or anything at all.


Well in all, i just thank God for giving me a 2nd shot at life

Travel / Racism In A Foreign Land by smartoliver(m): 8:25pm On Jun 25, 2022
Hello all.

I was busy going through quora when an article caught my attention. The article was about racism, but specifically in China. While the article isn't of much relation to this, it made me wonder. Thus I wish to learn from those with experiences or stories to share. While Nigerians abroad are seen as though they're living the best life, they might leave out the unpleasant encounters just because of their skin colour, something quite prevalent in varying white societies. I wish to know more about RACISM and it's effects on our people over there. So here's to those overseas, have you ever had an encounter with a racist?, lost something/position cause of your skin colour, ever denied an opportunity or delayed cause of your colour. I will be looking forward to the replies.

Call any of your family members to coms stay with you for a while. If you have a sister or cousin. grin
Olarhhh:
I and my husband live in a mini flat (a room and parlor self contain) and since the very day we got the place early last year, his younger brother has been living with us because he fought with their father and my husband told him to come over to his place (we weren't married then but live together) so he continued living with us till he went to school last year November, and we were both happy that we can finally have our own privacy.

Meanwhile my husband has a very nosy family, different family member keep coming to visit Everytime and spending up to 2 weeks until I change attitude to them and make them leave.

Fast forward to December, a month after his brother left, the parents called to let his sister move with us, hubby declined but his family won't budge so he accepted.

Now hubby has travelled abroad and the sister wouldn't leave, I don't know what to do, she doesn't do anything here and she's rude. I want her to leave, I've tried stopping all the comfort she enjoys when her brother was around.

Please help

AfroKnight:
Shameful actions by shameless agents.

They can treat a former governor like this, who is a card carrying member of the APC! Okay, imagine how they would treat you an ordinary citizen.

Now you know that no amount wealth can save you from indignity in Nigeria. No matter your affluence, police can still harm your reputation and your body and they will get away with it.

This country is governed by crime lords.

Some people say they will choose Nigeria always even when opportunity to leave comes their way. I laugh cos that money they think they will make by sharp practices here, it will not save them!

It won’t save them when Nigerian soldiers flog their wives or shoot their children. That money will not save them when EFCC breaks into their hotel room while naked in bed. That money will not save them from stray bullets or daylight traffic robbery while police officers look on, collecting egunje at a nearby bus stop as robbers go from car to car.

Your wealth is only useful when the systemic incompetence of the country hasn’t chosen you as the next victim. But don’t hold your breath.

Technology Market / A Good Laptop Under 200,000 Naira by smartoliver(m): 4:13pm On Mar 02, 2022
Hello house, please I'll need good suggestions. About a two months ago, I got an HP Folio 9470m at the fee of 120k. The problem I have with it is that it overheats after an hour of usage. Please, can you guys suggest a good laptop under 200k? I'm not one that knows much about laptops and it's specifications but if it's an 8gb ram, and 500gb rom, then I'm fine with it. It should have good graphics as well and a strong battery . I look forward to your suggestions. Thanks in advance.
Sports / Re: Name Your Favourite Double Strike Force. by smartoliver(m): 4:04pm On Mar 02, 2022
He didn't specifically say midfielders, he wrote double strike force. Btw, Son can play as a AMF, SS, RWG. Bergkamp played mostly as a second striker but also played as a LWG and AMF. Thus they have both played as midfielders
Vinnie2000:
But Son and Bergkamp are not midfielders!
Sports / Re: Name Your Favourite Double Strike Force. by smartoliver(m): 12:44am On Feb 27, 2022
The best of duos usually consist a midfield and a striker thus :

Lampard and Drogba


Son and Harry kane


Gerrard and Torres


Henry and Begkamp

Mike1stSon:
Hey family.

I have been a very long time member of this family, just created this for privacy.

I feel very happy to announce this here but before then...

Hear my this little story.

From 2007 to 2012, I was a cleaner collecting 25k monthly in the office and was allowed to go to school because I showed interest.

Served in Ebonyi in 2013, and still working with the same company, was not regular NYSC type but grace saw me through, despite that, I have forgone my N19500 monthly allowee.

After my NYSC, was moved to a warehouse and placed under a salary of 54k from 2013 to 2015.

Got married between 2015, resigned, and got another job for 100k in between 2016.

Sacked after 1 year because the company was closing up due to bad economy under Buhari.

Stayed unemployed with my wife who took over the family responsibility for 1 and half years of unemployment from school fees, feeding, bills and transport fares for job interviews with 4 kids at that time.

All these were done by my wife through her frozen food and foodstuff business in a rented shop in Lagos.

My breakthrough came around March 2019, was called for an interview in a construction company with a salary of 70k as a store officer, remember that I am a graduate.

70k and you will be moved straight to Ebonyi State, to Isu Nkwo/Agba community for road construction from Lagos. For 70k!!!

My wife advised me that I should take the job, and gave me 10k as pocket money to start.

Thank God for the WhatsApp video call that kept us together with 4 kids for 8months and I returned to Lagos....please for clarity's sake we usually do return to Lagos from time to time.

From 2019 to 2022, my salary had been increased from 70k to 150k in 2021.

Got an email today, from HR that my salary has been increased to 250k.

Isn't that wonderful?

This long article is to encourage someone out there.

No matter how small the salary is, please continue with hard work and dedication.

Before I forgot, I won the CEO Award for the most dedicated staff of the year for the last year 2021 with a cash prize of 300k.

Pls, keep, keeping on ladies and gentlemen here.

And most importantly, be loyal to your wife and dedicated to your family.

Your immediate family will always stand by you when your friends are gone during your trials time.

Peace.....

Don't mind my errors.....

Was just thinking about this life sha.....
