If she had asked him for cash, he would have said, he didnt have.

She may not have eaten probably because she lost appetite or she is sick
That's why I said he's immature. he should have heard her out.

but if the said girl claimed she's lonely the online rich man will be willing to see her
And I'm sure he would then be willing to pay for her food.

That would be a more equitable arrangement, wouldn't it?

she didnt beg him for money, all she said was "she hasnt eaten" and OP jappa
But we all know what was coming next.

She's broke and he's a little immature but neither of them should be shamed for that.

We've all been there.

You are a small boy.

Relationship is for men.
Nonsense.

Small boys and small girls should date each other without any expectations.

Not grown men using money to feel better than young boys because you can feed a hungry little girl.

I mean, technically, she's clearly the broke ass.

If the bold was true, then Nigerians are one of the smartest political group in the world to
have learnt from other people's mistakes.
We already rejected blood-thirsty and corrupt "revolutionaries" before they can do much harm.

Europeans paid with millions of lives, Asians surfer millions and Middle east is still in chaos
because they trusted "revolutionaries".
Are you telling me that your understanding of history is that revolutionaries who brought about democracy, freedom and the great economic system we enjoy today, and who are revered in all the places you mentioned, is truly that we should avoid them, then okay.

You're entitled to your views.

Nigerians do not deserve revolutionaries.

Sowore has been fighting for Nigerians for years. He has gone to prison. All of a sudden, it is Peter Obi, a known SARS enabler, that is the saviour you seek.

You don't have to like Sowore. I don't particularly like him either. But his contribution and sacrifice ought to be respected at the very least. Where was Peter Obi when Sowore stood against Buhari? Enjoying his jolly good life in Lagos of course.

As the Jews did, you lot have chosen your Barsabas.

But who gave this shameless thing SAN? Who did that?

It's at this point I agree totally that you can't support Tinubu and APC without sounding stupid, foolish and uselèss.


So it's bad for people whom Tinubu wants to rule (God forbid it sha) to know the actual place this foolish illusionary incoming president is from?
But can't you read?

He said, those we know as Tinubu's family have not denied him so what is the basis for seeking another family?

So tell us, what is your reason for seeking another family?

So we can now see that no matter the education, civilization, woke-ness, etc, oyingbo people still do not neglect their ancient (pagan, if you will) practices.
Instead they just weave a narrative to make it more intriguing and Interesting.
One can only but wonder the things that are done away from public view.
No wonder English movies are always about sorcery and the likes.

If na my people now, the people who embraced foreign religions would have been castigating and telling us how devilish the stone is.
There s nothing pagan about it.

But btw tho, an acronym could still have several full meanings.. you just av to pick the one that perfectly fits in btw.

Im at Shoprite ATM may be different from Im at Shoprite ATM
Thats because one of them is grammatically incorrect. It would be "i'm at the Shoprite ATM"

Christianity Etc › Re: What I Witnessed In A Popular Pentecostal Church by SmartyPants(m): 6:44pm On Sep 11, 2022
Tunjibalogun:
I'm a Catholic but once in a while I get to attend pentecostal churches when invited by colleagues though. So I went to this very well known pentecostal church. I found out the following:

(1) They've now modelled their church into several services just as it is done in the Catholic Church unlike before when they go to church by 7am and return by 2pm

(2) They have the pictures of their daddy GO inside the church just like the Catholics use those of Jesus

(3)They also had ornaments like holy oil just like in the Catholic church

(4) They have communion service just like in the Catholic church. I took their wine and communion though grin grin

It seems to me like the essence of the pentecostalism is now been defeated because the pentecostal churches we knew when growing up never had these aspects that resembled the Catholic Church practices. To add to it some pentecostal churches now ordain bishops too which were never existent to them them except to the orthodox churches.
Pentecostal churches have always taken communion and have had anointing oil for as long as I can remember.

But here's what I feel you should know: The difference is in doctrine and not in practices.

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: How I Almost Rejected My Best Worker by SmartyPants(m): 4:26pm On Sep 11, 2022
EngrEgghead:
A guy came for interview with a bathroom slippers in the telecom firm I worked(I swear this is not a joke). We all laughed, you know the kind of laughter that is laced with anger. To cut the long story short, he was hired and placed under an intense probation. He eventually became an astute fiber engineer in the history of the company. The saying that goes thus " don't judge a book by its cover" is real.
What did you see in him to decide to hire him?
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: How I Almost Rejected My Best Worker by SmartyPants(m): 4:24pm On Sep 11, 2022
Deeprooted:
Before the interview, I was discouraged by her appearance.

I had to put a call through to the hiring firm, expressing my disappointment. However,so as not to make her feel bad, I decided to ask her a few questions in relation to the job. To My utmost surprise, she said she had never held the position. This justified by anger.

Long story short, she was hired.


She was taught her role within few days and that's all! She's now the best worker in all ramifications.


Lesson to all employers, do not hire base on experience alone.
So what on what basis did you eventually hire her? Yhat may be the most important detail in this story.

erico2k2:
Article 2: Right to life
1. Everyone’s right to life shall be protected by law. No one shall be deprived of his life intentionally save in the execution of a sentence of a court following his conviction of a crime for which the penalty is provided by law.

2. Deprivation of life shall not be regarded as inflicted in contravention of this Article when it results from the use of force which is no more than absolutely necessary:

in defence of any person from unlawful violence
in order to effect a lawful arrest or to prevent the escape of a person lawfully detained, and
in action lawfully taken for the purpose of quelling a riot or insurrection.
My question is, what is the name of the instrument you are quoting?

Also, can you distinguish between a mere threat to harm you, which at law is mere assault and carries little to no punishment, and an attempt to actually harm you, which at law is battery and carries a stiff penalty?

Have yoh also ascertained the veracity of the assertion that he said he would gun her down?

Have you also questioned what would make a poloce man randomly threaten to use his gun? Was he acting in self defence?


These are the real legal issues. Don't quote laws you don't understand.

Threat to life? that's is even enshrined in the fundamental human right Article 8, read it up
NB, if we were a Gun carrying country and someone threaten to blast you and they are armed you reserved the right to shoot them citing you felt fear for your life
Article 8 of what??

you heard when she said the policeman threatened to shoot her?
And how does an alleged threat amount to an attempt?

Before you reply check your dictionary to learn the difference between a threat and an attempt.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
You didn't read where I condemned the shooting or you just felt like foaming in the mouth like a black kid?
Are you resistant to knowledge?

I am showing you why the racial connotation is relevant!

This shooting is highly irregular because:

1. UK police hardly shoot even armed criminals.

2. This man was unarmed and trapped. There was absolutely no reason to shoot him.

That leads us to conclude that the decision to shoot him was irrational.

Then we'd have to ask, what made the officer act irrationally?

Was he intoxicated? Was he mad? Was he a poorly trained? Was he prejudiced?

Which of those seems most likely to you?

Your brain is not a decoration please.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
Look how they made the whole thing about black..the usual victim card..why do blacks always think everyone hates or is after their life..? undecided

Look at his offence and why he got shot(which is very wrong of not self defence)..are we also gonna skip the fact that his vehicle was linked to firearm? vehicle not registered..why the f**k was he running from the cops?you had no weapon and you took them on a pursuit?..of course he had none on him..
So we have to wait till they conclude their investigation before we jump into emotional conclusion.. undecided
You're just ignorant and silly.

In the UK, unlike the US, cops don't carry guns as a matter of routine.

Thus, cop shootings are rare. This following the UK's philosophy of permissive policing, that positions the police as servants of the community.

Now, a man committed a crime, you chasednhim, and caught him.

Why was he shot instead of being arrested?

The racism angle comes in here: when has a white person being chased amd arrested ever been shot?

So like i said, you are uninformed on the issues. Be quiet.
