Family › Re: My Little Sister Is Misbehaving by SmartyPants(m): 12:10pm On Feb 11, 2022
This is just a phase every young person goes through.

It would be nice to allow her explore her emotions within reason - meet the guy and try to monitor things because you can't stop it.

But how can you even entertain the thought of reporting her if there is even the slightest possibility of her being sent packing??

Is that love or jealousy?
Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran Unveils 'Khaibar-Buster' Missile 'That Can Strike US Bases, Israel' by SmartyPants(m): 9:20am On Feb 11, 2022
mu2sa2:
Go and find out yourself how Iran retaliated and why those assassinations have been effectively checkmated by Iran.
Let Isreal launch a military attack and they'll experience the real Shia stubbornness.
Isreal and Iran have almost reached a parity in their military capabilities - neither country will launch a first attack on the other but the sabre rattling will never end.
@ bolded is always a sign that you don't know what you're talking about.

But I will indulge you with closing remarks.

First of all, Iran has sworn to end Israel so technically Israel and Iran are already at war.

Secondly, Israel has already directly attacked Iran and has claimed responsibility for it. Which Iran has confirmed. If Iran has retaliated in any indirect method other than a direct attack showing its power--as you claimed--then your statement, to which I replied, was false.

There's no roundaboutism here. Your rival entered your country and blew up your critical facilities and the best you can do is send arms to a few ragtag insurgents in the general area? That is not power, that is a nation that is afraid.

And clearly Israel doesn't engage in this sabre rattling. When has Israel ever come out to say oh this is the new missile that we developed that is capable of hitting this place or that place? They just keep quiet and we see their weapons in practice.

Heck even your country Nigeria despite the bigotry practiced by our northern leaders has always relied on Israel for security. Everyone knows who to align themselves with.

Without weaponery and defence ,you have no country.
Who says?

Some of the world's most prosperous countries are the ones who have very little by way of militarisation.

Iran has to engage in such because they are a violent people with enemies everywhere.

Chai, these guys are really instilling fear and panic in the camp if their perceived enemies.
Iranians have balls. They're reaping the benefits of emphasis on quality education. All these technologies are developed locally. Some fews years back Iran successfully guided to safe landing in their country a US spy drone, then taunted as the most advanced drone and invisible to enemy radar. They then reverse- engineered the drone. Smart guys.
After the 1979 revolution, Iranians embarked on massive boosting of their military capabilities. They have largely achieved that now, and that's why they can't be bullied by any nation.
Iran has repeatedly said it won't be the first to attack any country, but will defend herself robustly if attacked. Israelis know this very well.
Hmmm so all those times Israel has entered iran assassinated top scientists and blown up facilities, were not attacks?

Walkee:
you don't execute people for no reason. You execute mass murderers, if you don't execute them they'd kill more people including inmates.
You don't need to eat animals, you can survive perfectly without killing animals. You snuffed life out of a living thing because you are craving meat and you somehow believe you have the moral high ground to vilify someone who slapped a cat because it defecated on his sofa? What the fucck exactly?
There's nothing like lawfully executing an animal. The animal you killed didn't commit any crime How many people did the goat you ate killed for it to deserve death penalty?
We kill animal for food because we believe they are not our equals. It's extremely hypocritical for a specie who slaughter millions of innocent cows and pigs everyday to feign outrage over the kicking of a cat, a vicious feline that rip rats apart while it's still breathing.
There's no need for us to agree.

I don't know if you are for the footballer or against his action but I will like to answer your question.
Slapping a woman or a child for no reason is an assault and offense while state execution after sentencing is not even an offence or crime at all. It's not bad, worse or worst.
Thank you very much sir.

Walkee:
you said killing animals is not as bad as beating them. I'm only trying to relate it to humans so that you can reason what you're saying clearly.
And I'm pointing out to you that it is a faulty analogy.

So many things are wrong with it.

1. We need to eat animals - we don't eat humans

2. killing an animal for food would not then equate to murder. It would equate to what we call lawful killing in the Law

So is a state execution of a murderer worse than slapping an innocent woman or child for no reason?

You tell me.

Blacks no wan learn.. The whites don't care about you.

Looks how they're too fast to react but when it comes to racism, they'll be slow like snail.

People out here fighting for cats’ rights in the name of animal rights but still eat meat. Double standards. If only they knew the conditions the animals are killed in.
Killing animals for food and beating animals for fun are not comparable!
Sports › Re: Sir Ferguson's Man United 2007/08 Team Voted Premier League's Greatest Ever by SmartyPants(m): 2:19pm On Feb 09, 2022
IronGalaxy:
The title of this thread says so. They are ranking the best team since the inception of the premier league
Okay.

1. The title of the thread is created by the OP/Mods and does not reflect the intention of the article - which itself is a mere report of a poll conducted by another entity.

2. The title of the thread says Man Utd team of 07/08 was the greatest team that has belonged to the premier league. Nowhere is the term "to the exclusion of all other competitions implied". Contrarily, the first paragraph mentions all the other competitions won by Man Utd. Wouldn't that be a contradiction?

3. I have just told you the methodology that was employed in the poll. Twitter users were simply asked their opinion of who the best team in the premier league has been. There is no way to infer what individual respondents considered in making their choice.

Where did you see that? The ranking was derived from a poll of Twitter users, who is to say what each respondent considered most important?

Politics › Re: David Hundeyin: EndSARS Activists Are Becoming Too Proud & Ambitious by SmartyPants(m):
Looking back, the dots are connecting.

Despite being 100% pro the EndSars movement, I never bought the narrative of the Lekki massacre.

It was obvious that someone had a vested interest in exaggerating the event of Oct 20, 2020. It is undeniable that lives were lost but the narrative of the military opening fire on protesters did not ring true. Simple logic would dispel the notion that high caliber rifles were fired point-blank into a crowd of thousands, killing less than 10.

The videos we saw clearly indicated blanks being fired. CNN despite its refusal to fully recant, revised its figures from 15 to "at least one killed". Meanwhile, BBC, who were at the scene till around 8 pm said they saw soldiers firing in the air.

DW who claimed to have been at the scene said they saw soldiers riding on motorcycles ride into the crow shooting indiscriminately. A version of the story that is not backed up by any other accounts.

Tens of people who were said to have been killed, were shown to be hale and hearty.

In the atmosphere of misinformation that swept the media, I quickly realized that someone had a vested interest in creating a false narrative. I initially thought perhaps they were doing it for the right reasons, but could there be more selfish reasons behind it all?

Time will tell.

But in all, it is clear that the biggest casualty of October 20, 2020 was the end sars movement in itself. Discourse shifted from the systemic problems typified by SARS, to seeking justice and retribution for events that may have never happened, while Nigerian youth continue to suffer unabated abuse at the hands of security aagencies.

I'm not blaming the dude for having sex with her since they're adult, my point is that he should have been professional with things. Business should be strictly business. The lady also got no solid case since she wasn't raped nor coerced to have sex with him.

Men should learn not to use their business to get sex in return. There are millions of ways to get laid without doing that. And this dude will be among the people blaming government for everything meanwhile he's no different from sex-for-mark lecturers. What a randy man!
Guy what are you on about.

A lecturer is in a legal relationship with his student. He is in a position of power over her. He owes her a duth of care.

An entrepreneur owes no random woman such a duty. He is free to solicit sex from her if she is a vendor of such. She can say no and that is that.

Calling him out now is an act of blackmail after all, he asked and you said yes. Who is worse, the buyer or the seller?
