VULCAN:
No such thing in the Bible as a liberal Christian.

That's a creation of people that want to eat their cake and have it.

It's either you are led by the Holy Ghost or you are not.

God spits out lukewarm people who are neither here nor there
No such thing like a liberal christian? Have you really been reading your new testament or you just dont understand the word liberal?

Guy focus on getting all the knacking you can and forget about all this ... see even from the way you complained it shows you display weakness and one thing that puts a girl off is weak men. You need to drink some red pills and know this.

Never listen to what comes out of a woman's mouth alone, because they talk with every part of their body.

Bro there are 7 women on earth to every man ... don't let a girlfriend take you on emotional rollercoaster ... just develop tunnel vision about hitting that spot and once you hit... hit... hit! You run.

It's called HIT and RUN. Hahaha

Let the elected representatives in Congress do their work.

Romance › Re: My Girlfriend Ignored Me At A Party She Invited Me To! I Am Confused by SmartyPants(m): 9:09am On May 02, 2022
KiNg0G:
Good day all

My girlfriend invited me to her cousins birthday party that held yesterday, at first I didn't really want to go but she kept on insisting few days ago.. when she noticed I might not come, she went ahead to invite a buddie of mine who we do things together 24/7 so that guy had to press me on yesterday afternoon.

We were three who went, getting there it was filled up with lots of guys and girls... since we were invitees from her, we just sat down observing the crowd untill a girl came to bring us drinks filled our table With meat sauce..but where my girl now? she's no where to be found.. untill I saw her from afar sitting with her cousins and some other people. I wanted to go meet her, instead I called her on the phone to look at my direction where I was, she said she knew, oya come say hi.. she was reluctant to stand up to come meet me.

We ate and drank then stood up 30mins later and left the party ground, according to my guys, they said she might have some other guys in the crowd that's bankrolling her, hence the ignoring....but why did she still insist I come?
If I were you I would have waited till the end of the party to monitor how the party ended. Or pretend to leave or keep someone to monitor her movements. Then you would have your answer because if it was because of another guy, which is likely, there is no way she would not have eventually made a move that would expose her.

Actually, me i don't have time like that. The slightest hint of disrespect will bring full retribution immediately.
Food › Re: Man Complains After Buying Rotten Yam In Lagos (Photo) by SmartyPants(m): 3:31pm On May 01, 2022
NoQualmz:
Don’t mind that one she knows nothing.

Avoid yams with wounds on their bodies...especially decaying wounds.

Always raise a yam up with ur hand and feel the weight for it’s size...if it’s heavy...the flesh is still intact. If otherwise,disease is gradually eating up the flesh beneath the bark.

Make sure yam looks very smooth...avoid yams with very rough bodies

Also watch out for ants roaming on the body...it also shows yams that have long been harvested and stored over time,thereby rotting away.

Nigeria lacks food storage system...one problem killing food sustainability in this present times.

Not a farmer but I really attended agric classes back then
Thanks! have had a few bad experiences so this really helps

siofra:
Hmm. But can't you tell rotten yam from good yam.

It's pretty easy.

Be careful of yams that are very black, always go for light brown coloured yams.

You can also feel the yams to know if it's bad but in this method, the yams will already be very bad before you know.
Hey...

So how exactly does bad yam feel?

subsidywise18:
Russia will win, but it would be a pyrrhic victory, and would leave them with room for a lot of self examination.

At the end, Russia is just as bad as the USA. Empire builders all of them. I hope this war teaches Nairalanders that the US, Russia, China, UK, Saudi, Iran, and all of them are not your friends, they all have interests, and if bombing Nigeria with bombs supports their interest they will do it, and with relish.

We all better wake up.
We should wake up and do what exactly??

I love your resolve.

As you recieve a barrage of advice here, note that most Nairalanders have absolutely nothing to offer. Ignore those telling you to go and pay bride price.

The boy is yours and legally there is nothing they can do about it.

StilmaVsBorn2w:
Back then when my mom was warning me not to go that far when our relationship started She kept on insisting I should go for the girls in my tribe, I thought she was just been a tribalist bigot. If only I had listened

She bore me a son, he's 3years now... though her people knows me well from normal visitation..but I haven't been able to pay her bride price yet due to the hardship this regime has on us. life happened, unfortunately she got sick since February, ever since then from one hospital to another..I took several loans from people for hospital bills to the point of me looking sick myself.so sad for us we lost her last night.

I informed her elder brother who knows about all thats happening, he called me back this morning to tell me that his people told me to be prepared to marry her corpse. He went further and said if I don't pay her bride price, my boy will be taken from me and I should be ready to withstand the consequences.
I was surprised, I called for the burial arrangements not for a marriage ceremony

I blantly told him, I won't, why would I get married to her corpse. He was angry and cut the call on me.

Am more concerned about my son, please lawyer's in the house do they have any right to take my son away from me?
Even if they do am ready to give it to them, but spending money to Marry her corpse I will not.

I only brought this here, if had chance for my son whose still in my custody.
They have no single chance to take your son unless they play foul.

Al the laws that have been set in Nigeria is it every time that justice prevails?...If there are laws and then they dont implement them what's now the point of having the law?.its not just enough to have them...and notice I didnt say there are none...I said there are not punished for it
There was a recent case of a girl who posted that she was being raped on twitter. Last I heard she was arrested and will be prosecuted. No?

Which other case do you know of false rape accusation that got to the level of the police without any action?

And does the justice system work well here in Nigeria?....are you in this country at all
The question is are there laws that can be used to punish false rape allegations. The answer is yes. Please it's that simple.

Have you tried to use these laws and the justice system didn't work for you? I don't just get such negativity for no reason.

Sadly there is no punishment for them because the justice system dosent take it seriously...even abroad they go scott free highest...they serve like just a week or two weeks in jail

The best you can do is to advise your fellow women to do better
There are punishments.

1. Criminal defamation

2. Perjury is still a serious offense

The truth is that you aren't reading a Court judgment. You are reading an interpretation and summary of a Court judgment by a reporter who may not fully understand what is going on in the Court. Find the judgment - from all indications, what the woman did was aiding and abetting.

That's illogical. Aren't you aware that our prisons are overpopulated?

Aside from those in remand, awaiting trial, how do you think the others got there? Besides in this same article one person was indeed convicted.

His shooting himself with a gun. If you know Nigeria well, getting an Nysc certificate is key. If you think it's nothing, ask Kemi. She will explain better.

Forget Exemption and get the certificate. Save yourself of premium tears in the future.
Nope.

Kemi had a forged exemption. A properly issued exemption is as valid as the actual certificate.

Her issue is that hers was forged. Dont mislead peoole.

How was he able to snatch the gun even with his hands cuffed? Your guess is as good as mine.

When they are ready to rid the country of BH, herdsmen, unknown gunmen,bandits and the atrocities/mayhem these groups cause they know what to do.

Name and shame the sponsors with proofs and watch the security situation in the country improve. I know they won't because of personal interest.
I believe this guy was killed.

Soldiers around the world have a certain culture of killing traitors, and of course they can tell us any story they like. Who will go and check?

In the same vein, how do we know he was a boko guy?

He paid off all shareholders. Twitter is now a private company solely owned by him.
Except he wants to go public later
Noted.

I actually meant he is not financing entirely.

This is what I too know gets you.

When they say he is buying it outright, it means he is purchasing the entire thing. How he chooses to finance it does not come into play.
I didn't know that, but I wasn't using buying outright as a technical finance term either. I was speaking ordinary English and I never claimed to be a finance expert so I don't know where "I too know" comes in. If anything, the reason you didn't get my meaning was becasue "I too know" was doing you.

Prior to me using that term, the subject of buying the entire thing was not in question. It seems to me that looking at what i responded to and the point I was making, my actual point, even if couched in wrong financial terms was clear.

Happy to learn that coincidentally this happens to be a technical term in finance.

Cheers.

You are the one who is ignorant.

His offer is for the entire stock of Twitter.

He is borrowing 70% of the money but would hold 100% of the equity. Next time, actually read the links you put up instead of trying to win an argument. You don't even know what LBOs are. When the Glazers bought Man Utd, they contributed 10% of the financing but owned the entire club outright.

LBOs basically turn a chunk of equity into debt. If it's a fast growing company, then there is an opportunity to make outsized gains plus there are tax advantages as interest payments are tax deductible whereas dividends are taxed.

In summary, although Musk is only contributing a part of the financing, when the deal is done, he will be holding 100% of the equity.

Allow those of us who have finance training educate you on this instead of claiming faux knowledge
I don't really know what you are arguing about.

I never said the offer is not for the entirety of Twitter. I said HE is not buying it outright, meaning the deal is not being financed by him in the context of someone saying he doesn't have enough money to buy coca cola.

Again, meaning you don't need to have the money to buy a company on your own.

What does this have to do with what you've posted up there?

He is buying Twitter outright. 100%.

And no, he can't afford Coca Cola. With no experience in consumer goods/beverages, banks won't lend him money like they are doing for the Twitter deal.
kosovo:
Dude bought Twitter outright, 100% cash..
There is no excuse for this sort of ignorance because where on earth did you hear that he bought it and paid cash? You assumed that, probably from reading headlines without understanding the content.

1. He is not buying Twitter outright. He is buying with the help of Investment banks. His actual stake will be around 30%

2. He has not bought Twitter yet. He has an agreement with the board but there are still many hoops to go through. Point is, the sale is not concluded not to talk about buying it with cash.
