juman:
May he rot in hell fire.
They went to iraq to colonize them.

Bush and tony blair saw the iraqi war as holy war (crusade).
The war was a failure.

At the end american ran away from iraq as they are currently begging to run away from afghanistan.
America is a terrorist country.
Are you sure hunger is not eating up your brain?

Holy war and they went to Iraq and Afghanistan but not Saudi?

We all know those kill people in the name of thier religion so rest.

Britain should respect themselves, after all he even insulted them also. They should mind their business. I believe their response made Interpol to also deny involvement in his arrest.
You still don't understand what democracy is all about?

BigBelleControl:
After baba had spent over two years in prison, they now said no evidence against him.
Baba that should be enjoying his retirement in peace is now made to eat beans in gaol.
There is evidence. The judge, here, has simply ruled that this evidence was improperly used. It's just a technical escape.

The Tigrays also had the support of Eritrea which was a break away region from Ethiopia.
Wrong!

Eritrea has been supporting Ethiopia and has animosity towards Tigray because Tigray supported eritrean rebels.

Since the Judge has granted him bail instead of jail term then Iyabo and her fellow nollywood peddlers should let bygone be bygone after all if the reverse was the case they'll be Switzerland about the whole situation
It's 2021. By now you should know what bail is.

IPOB is a terrorist organization same as Fulani herdsmen
Ipob is not a terrorist organization. There is a definition of terrorism and if includes those who specifically target civilians and non combatants.

Ipob so far has only engaged government forces.

Ipob is best described as am insurgency

A show of force


That explains the gradual withdrawal of U.S Forces from the middle east. They might be preparing for a war with China and Russia.
They are not preparing for any war and there won't be a war any time soon. They have withdrawn troop from Iraq and Afghanistan because the American public clamoured for it for years.

The looting DNA in Naija politicians is the major reason we are the poverty capital of the world today.

Are you proud of those parasitically blind politicians?

Every country with its peculiar challenge.

Ours is bandittry, terrorism, kidnapping and cultism

The Chinese is how to steal another person's intellectual research

The US is how to sanction erring country, racism and migration

Russia is how to create war, kill Putin's critics

Middle East is how to kill anyone who abuse mohammed.

Our politicians is how to rape, loot and mortgage us

The NPF is how to lie against the innocent but run away from criminals.

DSS is how to shy away from intelligence gathering but hunting for Buhari's critics

EFCC is how to hunt for decampees from APC but sanctifying the thieves in APC

The APC is to look for the next person to blame for their failure

The Buhari is to celebrate his killing herders' kinsmen

El-Rufai is to issue another threat

Lair Mohammed is to target Nairaland for banning

PDP is to device means to loot is dry.
Seems like your own is losing your train of thought, coz I dunno how you went from countries to naija politicians cheesy cheesy

Depends.

If one's parents are well off, I'd imagine that they would be more concerned about getting their kids to save and start off well so that they can move out.

The young uns need to learn this. Women always make the first move.

It's a matter of noticing that she's made a move.

If you have to make the first move, she doesn't like you.
Sports › Re: Ashley Young Returns To Aston Villa On Free Transfer From Internazionale by SmartyPants(m): 1:29pm On Jun 18, 2021
mansakhalifa:
And this takes me right back to those days when Villa had the likes Ashley Young, Gabriel Agbonlahor(star striker), Luke Young, Gardner, Reo-Coker, Heskey, Petrov, Zat Knight, Sidwell, Albrighton, Brad Friedel, Guzan ...

Who else did I leave out?

But that was the best Villa squad ever (at least the best I ever saw) and the always gave all the teams in the top 4 a good challenge.

Manager was Martin O'Neill, the bespectacled Irishman.

Those were the days. Villa will never see a squad like that again. No be swear.
The main man, Stuart Downing

CSTRR:
Exactly.

You are making big salaries but you are attacking the sponsors.

You are mad.

If you don't want to endorse Heineken, go and play in the middle East.

If Muslim players continue on this path,big clubs will begin to silently ignore them in the transfer market.

And they will start another campaign.
There is no salary for playing in the Euros. Heineken sponsors UEFA not France

There is nothing wrong with giving the job to internal candidates.

The proper thing to do, however, is to inform applicants that internal candidates will be given priority.

Career › Re: Bank A Or Bank B ??? by SmartyPants(m): 3:31pm On Jun 15, 2021
harley88:
Hi guys,

Pls I need the advice of the public here.
I have been an ET with bank A for about 20 months now at the bank’s head office in a department I don’t like and that doesn’t have a career path. So I’d basically be doing the same thing for years to come. The pay is basically 200k which is quite comfortable monthly. I have tried changing departments within the bank all to no avail. I want to leave the Dept asap so I don’t get stuck there due to age. I’d be 25 later this year.

I started the Entry level recruitment for Bank B a month ago, maybe to start again as an ET probably in a better department with a better career outlook. Right now, I am almost into Bank B’s training school. Bank B pays lower than Bank A, but comes with better perks such as a car. But I’m worried about having to start again and lose 20 months of work experience. The issue is I’d have to be in Training school for some months and collect about 25% of my current salary monthly until TS is over. Also, I don’t know what Dept I’d be posted to assuming I take the Bank B job offer.

What advise can you give me pls?? Also note both banks are in the top four banks in the country.

Should i remain in Bank A and keep trying a change of department or a change of Bank as an experienced hire which is a very slim chance

Or

I take the ET job and start all over from Training school in bank Bhuh
Stay in A and move after some years as an experienced hire.

That's impressive and admirably
A company like Twitter actually needs to be put in its place. With great power must come great accountability.

The problem is that twitter and the other tech giants are more or less a law into themselves so there is no one to balance them and say wait, no that was why excessive.

This your story isn't straightforward.. The screenshot story is also not real because this said man will never send any screenshot because he would detect you wanna blackmail or report him... Again you replying every comments on doubt by others means you are lying... I really don't know what would make you do this but its clearly not worth it..
It's very easy to detect these lies on nairaland.

So perfectly manicured, arranged with the style of a professional writer.

What I've not yet understood is what they gain from this.

NOUN is a great option. It has its downsides but it is very good if you are a fan of open learning.

I did a comprehensive review of NOUN based on personal experience. Its a long video but it will definitely give you a good idea of what to expect and what factors to consider. Please find below:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRKpS5XaVL4
Nice. You have a good voice, nice editing and all... Wish you all the best with this.

But you got the definitions wrong. Open learning has nothing to do with study centres. It's about the relaxed entry requirements..hence it's openness to all.

YOU'RE TO QUITE SCRIPTURES TO ME, A WALKING BIBLE.


YOU COULD HAVE FIRST OF ALL ASKED WHAT WE WERE DOING AND WHY THE WAIT BEFORE YOU STARTED WITH ALL THE INSULTS, CURSES AND ACCUSATIONS


SINCE YOU HAVE THE ENTIRE BLUEPRINT, CONTINUE JUDGING ME NA


When God told us to be slow to judge, you think He didn't know what He was saying. Keep judging me. You have it all figured out.
It doesn't matter what you are doing. You hired a man, so pay him!

You have literally enslaved the young man as now he cannot leave for fear of losing his promised 1 million. If your business fails, the dream is gone. If you decide his work was not good enough, his dream is gone. If he gets a better offer in August, he must forgo it because you won't give him his 1million.

@ the bolded, the more you talk, the more you reveal your character. So you even know what the scripture says but you choose to persist in the exploitation of the vulnerable. Then you call yourself a walking Bible. How dare you?

Chaii!!

You're been pety. You made thousands of pounds weekly and is this the norm. Should it be used as a yardstick across board?


Pray to God to free you from Needless condemning spirit. Live your life, let others live theirs.
First of all, I said hundreds per week not thousands. The point is not about how much, it is about how long you are withholding his pay!

Do you know you are in breach of labour law?

And as you like to call on God so much, I suggest you read 1 Timothy 5:18, pasted below for your benefit:

"For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. And, The laborer is worthy of his hire."

Heartbreaking the things we do to our fellow man.

Ask any Freelancer, even we don't get paid or get jobs on per month basis


You may want to Google the meaning of freelancer as the meaning of the word directly suggests the wages for services rendered



Good day
Rubbish talk. I have been a content freelancer as a side hustle for years. It is unheard of to withhold payment for a year!

I have had clients pay me weekly, in amounts that ran into hundreds of pounds per week so you cant come here and be telling these tales.

In this industry, once you do the work, you demand payment immediately, with no excuses.

You are a wicked beast.

Good day ki you der.
