Romance › Re: Wedding Invitation In Pidgin English (Pictured) by SmartyPants(m): 12:06pm On Apr 18, 2022
skywalker240:
I see no single reason why you are making a molehill out of a simple marriage invitation that has been translated to Pidgin

Infact Pidgin should be the official language of nigeria, just like the Creoles of seria lone
The official language of Sierra Leone is English sir.
Family › Re: Is Modern Marriage A Scam? My Own Story by SmartyPants(m): 6:12pm On Apr 17, 2022
DKM123:
Some of you are not very okay o.

Shebi if you were enjoying the single good life and it was Eldorado, only to get married and it is hell, THE SIMPLE LOGICAL THING TO DO WILL BE TO RETURN THE BRIDE PRICE AND GO BACK TO YOUR PARADISE?

Yet, I am yet to come across a NIGERIAN MAN WHO IS ABOVE 50 WITHOUT A WIFE. Infact when their wife dies, WITHIN ONE YEAR, they have ran to get another wife. Some even have 4wives at once. So why is it almost impossible to see a SINGLE NIGERIAN MAN OF 50 AND ABOVE. It is in the western world that is common but in Nigeria, lailai. Cos they know that they suffer less in the marriages where they mostly control thier wives like pingpong.

There are many single mothers and widows who have vowed never to marry again and are living thier lives but you won't find a single divorced or widowed man that is still single after a few years.

SO WHY DO NIGERIAN MEN LOVE MARRIAGE THAT THEY SAY IS HELL SO MUCH?
I'm sure you know that most Nigerians feel compelled to remain in marriage. Just the exact way women get battered and abused but don't leave.

The property naturally passes to your father whether you know it or not.

I misread the OP, he made it sound as though the mom left the property to him specifically.

How?

Really

I don't agree at all

If I wasn't born, do you think those property would be accessible to him?
Because he married my mother.
It would have been passed down to the closest relative of my mother kindreds
Under which law?

pocohantas:
This is not about women except you have comprehension issues which wouldn’t be farfetched. The OP is a man, dragging land with his father- also a man. How then is the innocent women to blame that two logical beings can’t agree? My dear, use your head.
He's right to a large extent in that it is not right that a man is expected to split his property with his wife and a woman is relieved of such a duty.

Why would a woman bequeath her properties to her child when her husband is alive? Would you say the same if a man bequeathed his property to his child leaving his wife with nothing??

You'll be surprised i'm more into law. The academy award has now become a law court too abi. I'm busy with work to reply.
If you're into law at all, you can't have made those points you made in your initial post nor in this one.

The Academy did not apply the law of the land, they applied their own internal regulations which every organization has.

Good. Then was Chris Rock's nasty comments against Will Smith not worthy of same treatment being in the same category? Any information used maliciously is tantamount of ridiculing the victim, hence an offense. So, why is the academy awards banning will smith for ten years and letting Chris Rock, the one who incited everything walk away freely like he's the victim. This world ehn
1. Nigerian law is not American law

2. Defamation is not actionable per se, per the development of the law in that regard. That is, the alleged defamatory act must cause actual financial loss to the victim for any damages to be awarded.

3. The key element of defamation is not ridicule but falsehood. If the comment is based on facts, there is no defamation.


Doctor stick to your doctoring and leave law alone.

Before no one will go into tech because it's boring and a thing for nerds.

Now the nerds are the billionaire and control virtually every aspect of the universe.

Now the cool and badh guys have accounts on the nice guy's platforms begging and praying they don't get banned.

If you like no wise up. If you are nice stay nice. There's someone special for everyone.

No b by who sleep with plenty women. Las las in your later life na by money, them go rate you. So guy hustle. Forget all these nice/badh guy stuffs.

Be yourself and don't be ashamed of it if you are nice. Stay soft. Stay focused. Set goals and accomplish those goals. Na wetin matter be that.

Which girl no go like date those Paystack guys even though them no get muscle?

And just so you know, the nice guys vs bad guys are marketing terms created by dating marketers to sell their ebooks and dating videos easily.

My guy stay for your lane. Na one woman you wan marry. But you go like get big house. Big car. Travel abroad. Give your pikin dual citizenship. Make your parents happy. Retire early.

All those better soup na money go cook am. Start dey hustle now.
Exactly. Such hollow trash.

Thank you for sparing me the trouble of having to say this.

Calculations isn't limited to using and punching calculator buttons, as a businessman, he calculates how market falls and rise and how his company can come up with minimal damages in case of economic nosedives
lol...who said anything about punching calculators?

I hope you know those market indices are completely automated? There is nothing to calculate. All he has to do is look at a simple report. At that level, he has internally generated reports and even external reports.

As for day-to-day strategy, the company executives handle that and give the report to the chairperson. Not even the CEO of his companies will get that involved in the minutiae of macroeconomics. There will be entire teams devoted to this, plus external consultants from firms like McKinsey, etc, that will do all of this for any huge company not to talk of Dangote Group.

Take it from me.

Michelle70:
he is not the owner of a kiosk in Ojota with two sales girls.
He is the chairman, Dangote group of companies, the biggest conglomerate in Africa.
surely the man is on steady calculations.
What calculations do you think he can do as the chairpairson of Dangote group of companies? Even the CEO of just one of the companies will spend most of his time do those "calculations" so where will Dangote start and end if you expect him to be doing the minutae of calculations for several companies?

The truth is at his level most of his time is spent networking with governments and other top business leaders, and maybe overseeing a particular company that may be new or close to his heart. His interaction with most of the companies will be limited to reading reports.

You have an entire suite of executives to do your day to day calculations.

aribisala0:
What level of football is Osimhen playing? What has he achieved? The opposite is the case Osimhen never played at Yekini's level. You made a claim which obviously is wrong.
What is outstanding about 10 goals in 20 games?
Osimhen's return is 50% at 20 games when Yekini was at 20 games it was nearly 100% and reduced to 60% as he got older.

So tell us exactly what Osimhen has achieved above Yekini whether at club or national level?
YEKINI IS THE ALL TIME RECORD GOAL SCORER for Nigeria
Rashidi was THE FIRST NIGERIAN to win AFrican Footballer of the Year

What has Osimhen achieved ??

Yekini was a goal machine. He scored 91 goals for Victoria Setubal in 114 appearances and nearly 500 club goals in his career
What is outstanding about 10 goals in 20 games? Is that a serious question?

How many goals did legends like Kanu score in his entire super eagles career? Even goal machines like Yakubu? Osimhen is already well on track to surpass them. That is what makes it so outstanding.

And the second part of your post really answers my question.

Vitoria Setubal is a joke compared to Napoli. At some point, in fact, they were playing second division in Portugal while Yekini was there!

That was the highest Yekini played at but Osimhen started his career at a level higher than that and proved himself at Belgian, French, and Italian leagues (all higher than the Portugese league), all before the age of 23.

At 23 Yekini was still playing in the Nigerian league and stayed there for many years.

huh

In the context of your original comment, being "it is easy to criticize", with the implication being that the critic couldn't do it himself, I have simply pointed out to you that Ikpeba did it himself, to a much higher level than Osimhen has currently managed.

You are talking nonsense.
First your claim is UNTRUE. Yekini scored 37 in 62 . . His ratio was a lot higher before he got to 62 as he was at that time no longer a first choice and much older but his overall record was about 60%
By the time Yekini had played 20 games he was scoring in virtually every game


What is goal to game do you understand statistics?
Osimhen has played 20 games and scored 10 goals 50% there is no basis to compare him to someone who played 67 games
A person who has played 1 game and scored 2 goals would have a good "goal to game ratio. The more games you play the more meaningful the statistic and the greater basis for comparison

For you to play 70 games means you have to retain form for a longer period so that is not a meaningful statistic.

As far as benching Yekini goes well I cannot argue with what is obviously childish talk.
Ogbeni calm down, let me tell you something shocking: it is possible to have a disucssion without getting aggressive. Having said that:

The facts are clear. While Osimhen may not have played as many games as Yekini, he can only be judged on the number of games he has played. And at that level, his record is outstanding, and second only to Yekini if not better. I don't have the time to crunch the actual numbers. Goal to game ratio is widely used in football b the way, so maybe you need to keep up with the times!

Secondly, it is obvious that Yekini never played the level of football that Osimhen plays. That much is incontrovertible so what basis have yioy for calling it childish talk??

aribisala0:
They do not play the same position. so you really do not know football

The person that Osimhen would be looking at benching in that team would be Rashidi Yekini which would be a very funny joke.
Osimhen already has the best goal-to-game ratio in the history of the Super Eagles, truth be told. He probably benches Yekini with ease.

Most of those supporting Osimhen are members of Gen Z or young millennials who do not know their left from their right in terms of Nigerian football.

Truth is that serious investors dont rely on hearsay. If they are considering Nigeria they'll do real market research.
