True but you know those guys don't like our team.

They will do anything to try and hit us. Remember the scare they gave us at the last AfCon?
Camerounians don't have anything against our team...where did you hear that one?

The North Africans of course.
They play like Europeans.What they don't have in size and stamina,they make up in tactics and technical ablilities
Only algeria is a threat. Tunisia are our usual customer and Egypt has not been a force in African football for a decade. Morrocco are just another average team.

They have to challenge that order before they can reproduce and Nike can still charge them and request for damage for copyright infringement which to a naked eye and tech wise they are guilty.

Stop thinking like your country court and polithieftians does.
I would love to give you a slap.

What they have is an injunction which means that they cannot produce the shoe until the final decision in the case.

Now off you go!

MyVILLAGEpeople:
I see nothing wrong with the shoes. In fact they look nice and will love to own one. Over religious people and the end time crew are the ones making a mountain hill out of it.
It's not about how the shoes look.

Try to be reasonable.

The shoes brand themselves as satanic so of course it concerns religious people. How does taking exception to these shoes then make one over religious?
Fashion › Re: Nike Wins Lawsuit Over 'Satan Shoes' With Human Blood by SmartyPants(m): 7:03am On Apr 02, 2021
@naptu they have not won the case because the matter has not been heard substantively.

What they have is a temporary restraining order.

imiski:
Truth is islam followers act in accord with what a cleric tells them.

The bandits clerics are different from the boko harams

Different clerics different interpretation.

There is division in islam thats why u got the shiites muslim and the sunins no love between both groups , whose hatred stems from who should have taken leadership after Mohammad.


In all though religion has brought harm and will continue to hurt man.


The christians are not left out during the crusades millions of muslims were killed then it was regarded as the 'holy war'.

The world war 2 was another means to show how evil religion is catholic germans prayed for their soldiers to kill and maim american soldiers that american catholic priests prayed for to win.

Now the muslims are doing same they are viewed as terrorist.


I am not in anyway supporting anyone

I just want u to see how religion has and continues to hurt man
This line of thinking is illogical.

There are hundreds of religions whose adherents never harmed anyone. Therefore the first logical fallacy is the sweeping generalization that some religious people have harmed others and therefore all religious are the problem.

Secondly you take a logical leap, commuting the causal fallacy when you say religious people harmed people and therefore religion is the problem.

Have irreligious people not harmed people throughout the history of man? It is the nature of man to fight wars in his own interest and man will do that under whatever reason he can find. 9t so happens that the religious belief is often the convenient one.

To conclude that any religion leads to violence, therefore, one must examine, subjectively, the tennerts of each religion.

The company is Walkers which is a huge brand in the crisps market.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the packaging.

Kriss216:
Like, Our Oyibo Coach left a player with 25 league goals this season for a "clubless" Musa?


I doubt if this foreign coach truly want our progress.
He already stated Musa would not play. He was there as the captain and for reasons of team unity.

In times past, these were issues that used to cause turmoil. But the Superior Eagles have been calm for a while.

BTW wasn't it the same Rohr who took Onuachu to the Afcon and started him over the likes of Onyekuru and Osimhen?

The fact is, while he has always been great for club, this is the first time he is performing for country.
Romance › Re: When A Nigerian Lady Says She Wants A "God-fearing Man", This Is What She Means by SmartyPants(m): 12:26pm On Mar 31, 2021
blazepascal:
First let's describe who a God-fearing man is. A person who is God-fearing is an overly religious person who sees nothing more important than his relationship with God. These people are try to live as holy as they can and often times, treats all people with love and respect equally. These kind of people don't lay much emphasis on romance or being a "great husband" and treat their spouses equally with the way they treat other people outside.
How did you arrive at this definition?

Why can't you people approach arguments with logical structure?

The FUTURE is actually FEMALE.
I wonder why men can't control their sexual urge.
I keep wondering what the future is female really means...

Is this a meaningless catch phrase used to boost self esteem?

Otherwise what does a female future imply? A world without men? A world with only women doing well? These are impossible...

Anyway looking forward to some enlightenment.

And how many terrorist attacks has there been before the shooting? undecided

Should all terrorists acts not be condemned?

You See why i never condemned the Christchurch mosque shooting of that year?? why not let people live and serve who they seem fit of worship for crying out loud
but the shooting happened before the bombing. In fact, it was supposedly a payback move.

Yes, most people can relate with heartbreaking stories that have flooded Nairaland front page in recent days.

No doubt, we are enjoying the stories even though it is clear most are written from the OP's imaginations. I do admire some of the storytelling and writting skills by many authors we have here.

My concern, to be candid, is that can we channel this same energy to discussing more productive topics on this forum. That way, everybody can have a sense of belonging.
Young man, there are so many threads in politics, business, etc. Why not camp there with your sanctimonious self?
Has anyone forced you to this thread?

londonbanks:
It's not just the fact that she forgot, it's that she's not invested in what we have. I've taken her out on a couple of dates where the majority of the time she was on her phone and not being receptive to my feelings even though I asked her politely to put it away.

Whenever she wants something from me she uses words like "baby" but soons as I send her money it's crickets from then on. Anytime I text her during the day to see how her day is she doesnt reply back and even when she does its "good" or "okay", quick short answers and doesnt reciprocate by asking about mines.

The birthday was the last straw because I had texted her few days ago and she completely ignored me until the day after apologising but only because hers is coming up in a few weeks and probably doesnt want to burn that bridge. She'll forget my birthday but will post on her stories constantly about other people wishing them theirs. It's clear at this point that she's been using me for money and doesn't care about me. Its always the ones you least expect.

Anyways I appreciate anyone who took the time to read this, your input will be greatly appreciated.
Sorry, sir, that must hurt. You seem like the sensitive type who often wrongly believes that gift giving as a love language can be used as a love magnet.

I surmise that you have fallen deeply for this person which is why, despite your obvious realization of her feelings towards you, you are hesitant to pll the plug.

You will find someone else but remember never to try to buy love.

drsteroid:
Onuachu has proved Gernot rohr to be tactically deficient. This is Nigeria's best Striker in Europe for now and you can't placed such player on the stand by list. It shows that Gernot rohr is not a good coach. He is only using Nigeria to build his CV.
On the contrary. Any schoolboy can pick the striker with the best goal scoring record. It takes a technician to overlook stats alone, and consider things like the suitability of the player for his system, for a particular game, and his chemistry with the style of play of other players.

Because no torpedo has been fired on any ship.

No ship can stand torpedoes, not even aircraft carriers, Nimitz Class.

All they do is launch counters.
That was my point. One does not mitigate against non-existent threats.

But even at that, it takes a whole lot to sink a destroyer let alone an aircraft carrier of the class of Nimitz.

How many ships do you know of that have been sunk by torpedoes in the last 50 years?

constructive research should come before criticism.
