Romance › Re: What Were The Most Hurtful Words You Received From Someone You Love? by SmartyPants(m): 1:02pm On Mar 15, 2022
fattprince:
What's wrong with you guys. Must you mock everything? Just because she said he's far older doesn't mean sugardaddy or some sort. I'm in my late twenties but I find girls that I'm 8 to 10 years older than attractive and these young girls are so attracted to me (sometimes girls way younger than 18 try to flirt but I'm always careful to change it into playful banter for these ones). So no big deal in this.
You're perched on a branch that wants to break you idiot.

Playful banter with underage girls that are attracted to you to what end? Playful banter kee you der.

Bro, with the publicity surrounding this war and the support from NATO, Poland and her siblings have provided corridors for them to move. Their president actively conscripted all males from 16-60 and even stopped the transgender females from leaving because they are male by birth. They in their own minds can find places to run to and hide, we saw it during the Biafra war? Heard of the civilians hiding in the bushes and not the major towns except for the sick. We both know that if the civilians were Putin's target, he would have wiped Ukraine out by now. Yet the same civilians he left to escape pick up arms to attack Russian soldiers. Just like how Nigerian army arrests BH terrorists only for those guys to go back and still kill soldiers then come out to claim they were abducted and indoctrinated against their will and personal freedom. The bible says he who lives by the sword(gun) dies by the sword(gun). A civilian that arms himself for war and prepares with military grade armaments is automatically a military personnel or soldier. Let's stop sugar quoting things. Good day.
You're really immature or simply not enlightened about how the world works.

So there are humanitarian corridors to move where exactly? how many refugees do you think the neighbouring states can really absorb? When you don't know how real life works, why comment on issues?

Like I told you, the reality is that in any war, some people run but others stay put. That is true of every war in history. Go and read. It was true in Iraq, it was true in Afghanistan, it was true even in Biafra, just as it is true today in Borno.

Did you even read the article to see that the persons in question are an elderly peson who is bedridden and hasn't left her house in months, and a person who serves as a carer for such people?

By International Law, all parties to a conflict are required to refrain from sheeling civilian dwellings, infrastructure, etc. That is to say, had Russia obeyed international law, there would actually be no reason for anyone to leave. So it is Russia, ironically, who are living by the sword.

Secondly, also by International Law, combatants are required to wear their uniforms so there is no case on regular civilians taking up arms. The civilians fighting are those who have joined the army formally, and now are considered combatants. There are no civilians fighting Russia, and Russia has no right to assault civilan dwellings.

There's your dose of free education. Don't come back.

So if Boko Haram starts shooting up the north and killing people there, do you advise them to stay in an active hostile zone because it's their home? Or do you stay and quench the fire from a burning fueling station with bucket water because it's your business?
In every war in history, there has never been a time when an entire population was able to completely evacuate a theatre of war.

Even today are there not people living in boko haram areas? Where do you think they would go? Who told you they have the means to move?

The fact is that most people in warzones actually have nowhere to go. In this case, they are depending on their forces to defend the city.

I wonder where you are going with this.

Career › Re: I Am 30, Unmarried And Unhappy At My Job. I Want To have a career change by SmartyPants(m): 2:04pm On Mar 14, 2022
Betterprospect:
Good day Nairalander. I'm single, 30 years old. I studied agriculture related course at University level, and I presently worked in that field and I earned about 120k monthly.

I feel unfulfilled and I'm lacking interest day after day. The unfulfillment brewed mostly from my bosses egoistic and narcissistic approach to his employee, the insane working hours, and the lack of liberty, and most importantly, I feel I could do better. Now I have a meagre 2 million naira saved up, small? I know. Buy I'd like to pursue my passion in tech albeit from ground zero.

Now my dilemma is:

1. Seeing that I'm old and already past my prime for a career change at 30 yrs old, does a pursue of another career make sense?

2. Knowing that 2 million is small and would not last long. Does is it make sense to just up and leave?

3. I have a small biz I ideal which I feel could give me close to 50k monthly, but thing is, this is Nigeria and I might be wrong.

4. Should I just suck it up and continue for another year or two? Everyone I asked seems to think I should.

P,S. I worked 12 hours a day and its impossible I merge the two together.
You're actually in a pretty good position to make a move. But! Look before you leap.

1. You can quit your job for a less time-consuming one even if it means less income.

2. That allows you to start your side business small

3. Find a mentor in your new field!!

The op is even a female,why the attitude towards her by her brother.
15-17 that is already receiving money from people through her neighbors' son. It's appears that this girl has some tendency towards waywardness - her brother is wise and kind to protect her from herself if so.

Politics › Re: The Story That Didn't Hug The Headlines By Femi Adesina by SmartyPants(m): 2:06pm On Mar 13, 2022
Timmi:
Mr. Smartypants, the government does seek your praise but rather to acknowledge when there is something positive to report about Nigeria and he made the point that if this was a negative news , most of us would have latch on to it and broadcast it broad and wide.
Why are so engulfed with negative news about our Country is the question that needs to be examined. That is the point of the author’s write up.
Mr Timmi or whatever your name is. Pay attention:

1. Yes the government asked for praise.

. Rather than encourage him, what some people had been engaged in is sticking a pin into the soft underbelly of the various wars. No plaudits. No bravo.
2. It is clear that the lives of the citizenry are overwhelmed with negative news, so much so that the brief interludes of positive news meets an overburdened and weary populace.

At the very moment the report of gains against boko haram were published, we were also greeted by news of ritual killings, banditry in Niger,renewed violence by fulani ethnic militias in Jos, all of this on top the crppling fuel scarcity, and of course, the usual daily hardship that the average nigerian has known from the day of their birth.

Feel free to sing praises though.
Politics › Re: The Story That Didn't Hug The Headlines By Femi Adesina by SmartyPants(m): 12:57pm On Mar 13, 2022
Femi is right. There have been gains in the war against Boko haram.

However, he is wrong to attribute those gains to his principal.

The truth is that these gains have suspiciously coincided with the death of Shekau in infighting.

the credit therefore goes to iswap.

Femi is even more wrong when he expects gratitude from Nigerias for the improved security in the country. Security has clearly not improved accross the board.

In Nigeria today, mere kilometers from the Capital, you dare not travel down the Abuja - Kaduna highway for fear of bandits. In next-door Niger state, there are incessant bandit attacks.

In the west, an unprecedented spate of ritual killing.

In the east, carnage.

So what does the government seek praise for?

1. You mean encircle Kyiv. To encircle Ukraine you have to invade Poland.

2. The supply chain here is outside Ukraine...has nothing to do with encircling Kyiv. To attack the supply chain, again, he has to attack NATO troops outside Ukraine.

You clearly have no understanding of these issues.

Oghene1st:
Kyiv, Ukraine – Ukraine civilian fighters and residents in the capital are preparing for a major attack as Russian forces surround the city with troops and artillery just kilometres away.

There are civilian fighters who are ready to attack Russian troops but when they are killed by Russian troops, they are not considered as fighters but civilians only.
Of course not. Civilian deaths refers to those who are not combatants in any way.

You are yet to establish the connection between crime, punishment, and the beauty pageant.

The punishment for crime is prison. Period. Not that you should deprived of enjoying life for the dration of your sentence.

Prison is not hell.

Skyfornia:
Knowledge is power!

You see that phrase above? It is underrated...
This is why we should not stop learning to avoid embarrassing ourselves.


Wisdom, Knowledge and understanding will always set you apart and ahead of others.
Knowledge is knowing what a real dollar note looks like.

Understanding is knowing that as the seller of a scarce commodity, you can dictate terms and have nothing to lose.

Wisdom is knowing that despite the dollar possibly being real, a filling station is not the place to accept dollars, which you will still incur some stress to go and change.

All put together, the seller has distinguished himself from the buyer.

Pls do you think this is achievable?
No, it is not.

Both require your focus unless you want to be good at one and mediocre at the other.

Content writing is not the easy gig that it used to be - it's super competitive now so if you don't want to work for peanuts, you need to be very good.

That takes time, and effort - not half-hearted scribbling after a long day under the hood of cars.

More importantly, you have to have a certain level of talent to start with.

Every index points to the fact that Nigeria as a nation is heading to a big destruction.

We encourage a lot of negativity. Doing the right thing at the wrong time.

How can we encourage people who went against their job ethics and responsibilities.

Let no one complain when a doctor that is shedule to carryout an operation start dancing instead of doing what is expected of him or her.
We should also remain mute when our politicians loot our resources,and sleep on duty.

Our mumu never do for this country.
See how black your heart is. That is the real indicator of the destruction the country is heading to.

Two young men struggling to make ends meet made a harmless mistake and the best the company could do was fire them. Not caution them. Not suspend even. Fire them.

And you are pained that someone wants to help them.

You disgust me.
