The is '' America development bank not Africa development Bank'' Shame on African Leaders who refused to grow always sucking feeding bottle like a toddler in the hands of the west.

I don't think Africa as a whole have major shares in any of the foreign Agency financial institutions the piper always play the tune of the Payer. I'm confident that West will remove him whether guilty or not if they want to, there will use media to destroy you first and the rest is history.

I detest African Leaders they don't know too much aid for foreign countries =interference from her democracy All they know is Loot Loot and Loot no sense of pride as a

Nigeria is the largest shareholder in the AfDB

The "Re" there means it has been edited. That isn't what was there before.
I took a screenshot cause I was sure something like this was going to happen.
But honestly having problem attaching it.

There wasn't "alone" in the previous header. Just that he denied it.


Ok, finally got it.
Seen. It's alright.

Lol. Re is short for "regarding". It is present in every reply to a thread and simply implies that the message is regarding the subject of the thread. It's a basic communication protocol.

Denies taking and not taking alone are two different phrases brother.
So which one says which?

The headline says : Wike denies taking decision to demolish hotels alone

So does the content...

simply meaning he denies the allegation that he took the decision on his own. no other meaning.

You know, I actually reread that to see if I missed something.

But no, the question is actually for you.
The headline clearly matches the contents. Wike says he does not take decisions alone and explains that there is a state Security Council.

Where is the misinformation?

He didn't say they can't do calculations. He's saying that precision beats power. He's not attacking the army, he's just making a statement probably from experience. God bless the Nigerian Army!
How is that relevant to this particular topic?

No. Maybe he is trying to point out that we Nigerians (like other Africans) tend to excessively overemphasize the "brawn" involved in this activity. He shows us that "Brains" are an equally important factor too.

The Military in Nigeria doesn't have the reputation for seeking gifted talents (Not saying brilliant people aren't there) but they tend to dwell on the "brawn".
Every single army in the world recruits more of brawn than brains. The smart ones are always selected for specialized roles away from the battlefield. Also no one does complex calculations on the battlefield. You simply have a spotter as he rightly alluded to. And as you can see, there are spotters in the pics.

Having an idea is not the issue. What he posted is not relevant...how does it connect to the topic?

Or you want to also see the sniper doing calculations before you know that they can do them? Didn't you see spotters in the pics?

Whether it is a first or second language us subjective and you have no idea about that.

Secondly the point clearly is that contrary to your priorities assertion, there was a simple viable alternative to speaking Igbo which was English as opposed to Yoruba.

Family › Re: The Biggest Mistake In Marriage Right Now For A Guy by SmartyPants(m): 12:23pm On May 22, 2020
Naija246:
most of these studies are propaganda in disguise.
in the real world, married men are more depressed, work more and are generally unhappy.

They are also easier to manipulate by employers since they have more to loose if they don't bring home the bacon.
A singles man's needs aren't much so you can't really manipulate him to work himself to death contrast that with a father with 3 kids and a wife to feed, such men will jump through hoops just to provide for their family.

PragerU published a video four years ago that was obviously propaganda encouraging men to marry, the backlash they got wasn't funny at all. grin
Men are wising up!! Especially men from the western world

Guy there are ways of checking the mensrea, if he drove negligently, or recklessly that a reasonable man ought to know that it will cause death, then the malice aforethought could be established, so he can be charged for murder.
You do not know what you are talking about.

Murder is a crime of specific intent.

I have a feeling this is how you go about giving legal advice. undecided
Crime › Re: BRT Driver Who Killed Businesswoman Handed Over To Police by SmartyPants(m):
matrix199:
If he had just turned himself in on that fateful day, his charge would have been 'Accidental Killing'. Likely spend some few years in jail, and later released on compassionate ground.




But no, he blew it by driving off. Now he'll be charged for murder if after investigation it was found he had the choice of slowing down to let the victim cross but chose to maintain his speed. His defence would have been he didn't see the victim, but a counter claim would be established. They'll ask him if the victim was a spirit/ghost that made it impossible for him to see.


Like I said, he blew his chances of getting a 'manslaughter' charge when he chose to drive off without halting to help the victim/check if she's still alive.
Murder requires proof of malice aforethought. If they charge him with murder he will go free.

The appropriate charges are:

Manslaughter along with a separate charge for fleeing the scene.

Bluffing with emptiness.

A soft-target is a person who, due to their actions and/or a lack of appropriate protective measures, is at the mercy of existing risks and thus represents an easy target.

A hard-target is a person who, due to their actions and/or appropriate protective measures, is able to minimize existing risks and thus most likely represents an unattractive target.

Originally, these two terms come from the military and relate to protected and unprotected targets. This consideration was adapted correspondingly and transferred to the field of travel security.

http://www.travel-security-handbook.com/what-is-the-soft-target-and-hard-target-principle/
And are we talking about travel security or about military matters?

There is nothing to bluff over. You can take my correction or continue to wallow in ignorance.

Mr. Smarty pants, how is the palace and hospital in an insurgency area a soft target, please?
Hopefully you can give examples of hard targets also. Thanks
A hard target is a military target. A soft target is a civilian target.

Is a hospital a military target or a civilian target?

Acidosis:
As shown on that table, Nepal is another country with just one Covid19-related death despite its over 200 confirmed cases.


No death is no proof that you have a cure. Take your formulations for scientific testing or keep blackmailing WHO and Bill Gates.

And btw, WHO and Bill Gates do not approve drugs so those calling on WHO are ignorant. It's the job of FDA (in USA), NAFDAC (Nigeria), etc.
The Madagascarn drink had been somewhat misrepresented in some sections of the media as a cure but what it really is is just an immunity booster and we know that there are lots of these organic materials that do just that.

As I understand it, it is more like taking potent doses of vitamin C. So yes it helps but no it's not a cure and I'm not certain Madagascar has called it a cure either.

Now the issue with the WHO is, why react negatively to the news? Why not say something like "we have heard of positive results in Madagascar and recommend speedy trials to ascertain the composition and efficacy of the herbal remedy"

Instead they reacted with "warnings".
