Romance › Re: Did I Do Wrong By Sending Her This Message? by SmartyPants(m): 12:23pm On Oct 29 |
goran3310: You’re making a lot of assumptions here. A woman replying quickly to your messages, liking your posts, and checking up on you doesn’t automatically mean she’s romantically interested in you.
She told you she couldn’t date a guy like you, and instead of accepting her answer, you accused her of playing mind games. Then you claimed you never liked her anyway. Really? If you never liked her, why were you pursuing her in the first place?
As for her looking sad the next morning, you have no idea why she was sad. Maybe your reaction hurt her, maybe she was disappointed in how you handled things, or maybe it had absolutely nothing to do with you.
And here’s the biggest flaw in your argument: a woman can reject you without hating you, and she can feel hurt by your behavior without wanting a relationship with you. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.
You’re interpreting her every move through the lens of your own ego and then generalizing about all women based on one personal experience.
Maybe she was sending mixed signals, maybe she wasn’t. But one thing is clear: you seem more concerned with proving that she wanted you than with accepting that she didn’t want a relationship with you.
That’s not understanding women. That’s refusing to accept rejection. It has now come to the point that even to express your own opinion on mere Nairaland, you people will rush and enter ChatGPT. Why not be yourself? Aren't you smart enough? |

brain54: :::
First off.
They are 4 ligaments in the knee.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is just being specific and one of those ligaments.
No one categorically said Omalay has ACL. It was just stated he had a knee ligament injury. You assumed it was the Anterior cruciate ligament ( na so rumour take dey spread)
And secondly people can have ACL and still go about normal activities.... although depending on the severity - but you saying finding it difficult to walk or an mobilizing injury is an exaggeration.
::: Err, Oga...I heard it from you sir!  This, below, was the post I responded to. phr0nesis: How does an ACL prevent him from performing?
An ACL is sometimes a career ending injury for athletes, but it shouldn't stop a singer from singing. |

phr0nesis: I have an ACL, and the only thing I can't do is running at maximum speed. I jug, I jump (but make sure I land on the good leg), regular dancing is not a problem (Oman doesn't do stunts). There are different grades of ACL and every human body reacts differently to it. You can't use your mild case to judge others. On average it's an immobilizing injury for most. |

An ACL is sometimes a career ending injury for athletes, but it shouldn't stop a singer from singing. You don't know what you're talking about. An ACL will make it difficult for one to even walk, now you are talking as if all a performer does is sing. Won't he dance and jump about the stage too? |

Sports › Re: Cristiano Ronaldo Becomes Football’s First Multi-Billionaire by SmartyPants(m): 10:00am On Oct 24 |
AbuAeesha: Of course you were wrong by saying CR isn't a billionaire. This is not my money and if don't have business with him,but I just need to make it clear to you.
You can fact check the information below 👇 👇
Cristiano Ronaldo has an estimated net worth of $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion, making him the first active sports star and footballer to cross the multi-billion-dollar threshold in career earnings and net worth.
Key Wealth Breakdown
• Career Earnings: Surpassed $2 billion in total career earnings (before taxes and agent fees), with estimates around $2.1 billion. • Playing Salary: Earns over $200 million to $275 million annually through his lucrative contract with Al-Nassr FC and commercial extensions. • Endorsements & Brand: Features a lifetime deal with Nike valued around $1 billion, alongside his own global CR7 empire (hotels, fitness clubs, and apparel). • Digital & Social Media: Generates massive revenue via his online footprint, including his YouTube channel (UR Cristiano) and sponsored social posts earning over $3 million each. I have long ago corrected my assertion that Cristiano is not a billionaire - you can check my original comment. That was never the issue to begin with. The issue is what this article states, i.e that Ronaldo has now reached multi-billion status in career earnings. Thus, his net worth is 1.2 bn but the article is about the 2bn career earnings. My point is m, and always has been, that the 2bn career earnings should not be mistaken for his net worth. |

Sports › Re: Cristiano Ronaldo Becomes Football’s First Multi-Billionaire by SmartyPants(m): 9:56pm On Oct 23 |
AbuAeesha: Being a billionaire doesn't mean you have a billion in your account,rather it means your worth. Both in account and investments Thank you for the attempt to explain what you feel I've gotten wrong. However go back and read me clear as there's no correlation between your explanation here and what I've said. For clarity, I've pointed out that THE ARTICLE is saying Cristiano Ronaldo's career earnings have now reached several billions. This is as opposed to the understanding that Cristiano is worth several billions in net assets. |

ElevationD: So we can say that Dangote has earned his estimated 53 b dollars in the years of doing business?
Or Elon Musk has earned over one trillion dollars in his years as a business man?
Wetin dem do una like this so? Una dey manage go school and learn so at all? It's almost laughable how silly what you just said is. I'm almost surprised but then I recall the average IQ of his country is 80 so what else should I expect? Now listen close: Dangote is a billionaire. That means his net assets amount to billions. Cristiano does not have net assets in the billions (well 1.2 billion as I've just checked). But the article is not telling you that Cristiano's net assets are in the billions. The article is telling you that Cristiano's net earnings over time have reached the multiple billions (2 billion as a matter of fact). We're dealing with two totally different figures. Net assets: 1.2bn Net career income: just reached the 2bn mark. That's what this article is about. Do you understand the difference? Using Dangote as an analogy shows you do not understand what I said, and the problem is you do not understand what the article is trying to tell you to begin with so you can't understand the correction I'm making, which ironically makes it even more important for you to take your time and understand what I'm trying to explain but alas that national IQ of a thing seems to be getting in the way! |
Sports › Re: Cristiano Ronaldo Becomes Football’s First Multi-Billionaire by SmartyPants(m): 6:17pm On Oct 23*. Modified: 10:22pm On Oct 23 |
Its obvious people do not understand the difference between net assets and net earnings over time.
This article is not saying Ronaldo has billions in net assets. It's saying he's earned billions over the course of his career.
In other words, he's not a multi-billionaire. He has indeed earned multiple billions over the course of his career, but they're not at all the same thing.
In further, other words:
If you add up all his earnings, since he started playing football but he has also spent much of that money along the way.
By way of example, you too, if you calculate your career earnings you may have earned millions but you may not have one million in the bank today.
-----
For even further clarity because some real geniuses have been quoting me to spew nonsense:
I'm pointing out that THE ARTICLE is saying Cristiano Ronaldo's career earnings have now reached several billions. This is as opposed to the understanding that Cristiano is worth several billions in net assets.

Lagos and Ogun State should be merged. It is inevitable and mutually beneficial anyway. Imagine high speed rail lines (not that dinosaur we currently have) connecting Lagos and Ogun. There will be much less pressure on Lagos and development will spread out evenly.
By now this should already be in place between Lagos, Ibadan, and Abeokuta or at least, Ota. People should be able to live comfortable in those cities and shuttle to work in Lagos without stress. |

"I helped you get UNILAG admission" is a quote of what the news carried, they are not my words.
Also the sentence is ambiguous so..?! Can't you read? I just told you that the writer rephrased what Sowore said but Sowore never said so. His direct words are quoted in the article and what he said was that he and others created an enabling environment for the chap to apply. Which could be as simply as him having given him a place to stay. That's just an example of what enable environment could mean. |
