Politics › Re: Court orders DSS to release Sowore, Bakare within 24 hours by SmartyPants(m): 11:42am On Dec 05, 2019
GeoAfrikana:
As far as I'm concerned, this isn't a win for Sowore, rather it's a loss.

After sleeping detention for weeks (or maybe months) he gets just 100k compensation.

Not only that, he is still coming back to court tomorrow and might return to cell if the court finds him guilty.

Sowore 0 - 4 FG

Except you want wahala, don't mess with the government.

Yoruba people say:



He, just as Kanu, fought are enviable warriors because they went on the offense when they had no strength.

Is their reason for fighting right or wrong? That's another topic.
The money is not compensation for his detention. It is the costs of coming to court for a fruitles session.

Mourinho had criticized rashford both as a manager and as a pundit, enter Google first before you reply post.
You referenced something in particular and and I said what you said was not a criticism. I never said Mourinho never criticized the boy.

On a serious note what is the essence of United's rollercoaster win/loss emotional trauma they are subjecting their fans to? Why can't they get the maximum result with the small teams too?
Small teams park the bus and counter.

That's not a criticism. And Rashford was played from the flank today just like Mourinho said he should be.
Family › Re: My Guy's Marriage Crashed In Less Than 3 Months. by SmartyPants(m): 7:03pm On Dec 04, 2019
RisenPhoenix:
When you wait too long before you marry, you get comfortable in the self-centred bachelor lifestyle. Any wife after that will be seen as an intruder in your home, eating your food and destroying your appliances. It won't last before you vex pack the 'guest' commot.
Fascinating postulation there. Is this supported by any statistical or anecdotal evidence?

Truth is I learnt a lot of things from my mum..I remember when mumsy will pay our school fees...I have 4 siblings...popsy was always in lag working and then whenever he came home, she'll ask us to go and thank him for paying our school fees....We knew he wasn't the one paying cos he usually looked confused whenever we thanked him.So I already have the mindset of doing things on my own if I can afford it.
So tell me why I would disturb another woman's child with bills if I can afford it....it's only when it's beyond my power that I'll run to him for help..

Sports › Re: Super Eagles Amazing Stats In 2019 by SmartyPants(m): 3:10pm On Nov 29, 2019
Starboytwo:
Very good stat, remember we didn't qualify for the 2015 and 2017 afcon, and was ranked 60 in the world just 2 years ago...

We are 31st in the latest world ranking, we have played Ukraine who are 20 place above us and they were fortunate to take a point in the 2-2 in their backyard, ALMIGHTY BRAZIL, starting Neymar, casemiro, countinho, Willian, Firmino the Liverpool goal keeper etc and we played a 1-1 2 months ago...

A lot of people who don't know football will try and discredit the team and say "rubbish" but to the reader out there, just know this is a vastly improved team, who came third in the just recent afcon in June...

The best part is the large number of quality young players who are in the squad, they are not just doing well but the core of the team are starting in the Top five leagues eg and are quite young

Osihmen lille - he is just 20 and the top 3 best young stiker in THE WORLD) is there any hotter u21 striker in Europe currently, except mbappe... maybe and that tall Halland

Chukwueze Villarreal (no need intro anymore)
Ndidi Liecester (best tackler in the EPL) since last season

Aina. Torino( vastly improved)
Aribo. rangers
Iwobi . Everton
Ekong udinese .... Etc

No team is perfect and we have issues just like any other team

Goal keeping department is a big issue, with injuries and lack of quality goal keepers

A Creative midfielder, who can pass well and score is also needed, while the left back position needs to be sorted out...

I believe this is our new golden team and they will rule Africa multiple times....


Soar Super Eagle's
Add:

Omeruo - Leganes
Chidozie Awaziem - Porto/Leganes
Ramon Azeez - Granada
Moses Simon - Rennes
Samuel Kalu - Bordeaux

The full team is made up of top flight players

are you even in Nigeria?
you don't know the court is only second useless to the engineers?
hang in there, we are bashing the lawyers next, then you'd prolly understand why Sowere is still in detention even after perfecting bail conditions.
Let's not exaggerate issues. The Courts have delivered many landmark judgements with effect even if we know there are certain areas that are difficult. Your contention should be to fix the damaged areas and not totally abandon the system just because it is not very good today.

Ifeelsad:
I've had this recurrent skin issue for about three years now. I've used everything usable both creams and drugs but its not going. Its getting worst, its on my face, breast, neck, all over my back even on my stomach. I don't know what to do again I'm tired

Please has anyone had this kind of rash
I'll like this moved to the front page for more views because I'm getting frustrated and my husband is getting impatient

I use dettol or izal to bath and I bath twice a day sometimes 3 times depending on d weather so I won't say its uncleanliness
My dear there are people who went to school for 7 or more years to solve issues like this. They are called doctors, dermatologists to be more specific, and they can be found in hospitals.

If you are truly desperate, gather money and go and see a good one.

That's what Courts are there for though. By the time one or two hospitals sue and recover with interest the others will sit up.

Yeah that is a potential issue but we simply have to become more litigious and get the government to regulate HMOs more strictly. If the system works well it would be a win for all.

Tell those who stood surety for Sowore to go pick him up. We need to know who to pick up if Sowore runs like that Abino.

Tomorrow he will think twice before attempting to Revolt and overthrow his ancestors.

These new world order people have come again... angry

For chrissake, what is wrong in a woman introducing herself as Miss or Mrshuh

Next thing, they will say married women should not wear wedding rings so that committing adultery/fornication with them in the work place will be a normal no holds barred thing.

Nonsense!
Calm down sir. Her question could be rephrased as such: do you add Mr to your name when you introduce yourself? As in, do you say I am Mr John or do you just say I am John and allow the other person to add the Mr by himself?

Your view is not related to the thread but aimed at attacking those commenting on the thread, later you’ll complain why you can’t get an admission into the university.
Question:15mil and Canada �� which will you choose?
Your answer: Only people that are jobless will answer.
You seem intent on pursuing a conversation with me.

I never said only people who are jobless will answer, that is a figment of your imagination.

I dropped my comment to rescue one or two dreamers from a lifetime of only imagining what they want instead of building it. My comment may not have been for you. No problem.

As you have expressed your views and even added things I didn't say, I expect you have satisfied your urge to engage me.

I thank you and wish you a good day.

I think the assertion that VAR leads to MORE or FEWER goals is unfounded.

This is a claim that needs RESEARCH

Not beer parlour assertions

There is really no evidence that VAR has an impact on an individual's goal scoring record

VAR will lead to some goals being awarded and some being disallowed to then discuss the overall impact we need longitudinal studies

One cannot compare 1 year of VAR with 100 years of history

It has to be like for like comparison

Romance › Re: What's Wrong With A Man Under 33? by SmartyPants(m): 8:16pm On Nov 22, 2019
pocohantas:
Nothing is wrong with a man U-33, but I will tell you the advantage of an above 33 man or what most ladies look out for in them (and older men in general)

1. Financial stability: I put this first because it is (one of) the most importantant attraction. If you are old without money, one would wonder what you were doing in your youth.

2. Emotional maturity: The average woman is more emotionally mature than a guy her age. She has to look further to find a balance- MOST times. A guy has all the time to be stupid and if he decides to be stupid for life, there will be a woman for him. Women have to get sense on time, she has a biological clock to watch and most men do not have that fix-it mentality.

3. Older guys are more chilled: Age, experience and more money to their pockets has taught them to take life jeje. They don't get angry unnecessarily over petty issues like younger guys who see everything as a bruise on their fragile egos.

4. They are more caring, maybe fascinated by your juvenile displays. Those things you will do and make the younger guy go all red-pilled, the older guy will tell you sorry, make you carry your wahala dey go. He looks at you at as a child, with that smile on his face.

5. They are most times not scared of looking weak or not in control. Unlike younger guys who seek validation of their fellow younglings, an older guys is a man all by himself. But don't mistake this for stupidity, he is very well watching and calculating.

6. If you really wanna tap into wealth of experience/knowledge, then an older guy is your best bet. They witnessed Abacha's regime with clear eyes, they saw Yakubu miss that goal- he is like your History teacher. Also, his friends will most likely be his age group, some of their gfs would even be older than you- that is if you are really young. Except you are a bimbo, you will be on your toes to upgrade, that way you don't look stupid at their hangouts grin. I can't say the same thing for younger guys who just sit around and talk about ASUU strike.

7. Oh! Their voice! It gets deeper and subtly assertive as they age. When they talk, they exude this confidence and masculinity. It isn't forced, read off a book or some alfa male code. You just can't miss it.

...etc

There are exceptions, but on the average, there is really no comparison. We get finer with age, all things being equal.
Just want to note that your points 2 and 4 are in contradiction

I love this guy along with Osimhen, Chukwueze and Omeruo. I think they will be the foundation of the team that will finally bring Nigeria glory on the world stage. But of them all, I think Osimhen has the brightest prospects. it will be Osimhen to become the most expensive very soon.

Fountainofyouth:
The difference between here and Hollywood countries is that parents aren't allowed to beat their child at all, or you think parents there are happy when their kids do nonsense like this knowing they can't do anything about it, be living in delusion there, they know if they try it na jail straight, so pls spare me the blaaaaa you're typing,


Nothing to do with child going astray anything, do you know what kids do in secret? [b]this one was stupid to record it that's the difference, she should have known better.
So the point of discipline according to you is to teach children how to hide their bad deeds better? Since you have pointed out that despite all the beating in our society, children still hide to do bad things, and this one should have known better, by not recording it. Meaning the goal of discipline in a Nigerian society, according to you, is to appear good but no one is bothered as to whether you are actually good, since despite all the beating you cannot prevent children from hiding to do bad things. If, according to you, beating cannot prevent bad things, why beat? What do you aim to achieve with the beating?

The goal of punishment is to instill discipline, and discipline is to create a morally upstanding person who is productive in society. A good barometer of discipline, therefore, is the level of the productiveness of a society. This is well established through sociological research by the way. My point was, with all the beating in our country, and the absence of beating in theirs, which one would you choose to live in?

I put it to you that in Nigeria we are well-beaten but not well-disciplined. Because beating alone can only punish but not train, and where only wrongly applied it may tend to harden instead of soften.

Some people like to be seen as woke, Op has watched too much Hollywood high school movies, this is Nigeria ma'am, come back to reality, I would so much whoop her ass ehn she would never do doggy anymore talk more of sex, and that her mouth that swallowed cum, she would wash her teeth and tongue every hour of everyday for one week till she has sores all over her mouth,

Do you know the trauma I as a mother would feel watching something like that? My own daughter? That's if i don't have high BP sef.
Does being in Nigeria really make a difference? how and why? Is the girl not in Nigeria doing doggy? Is Nigeria better off as a country than those other "hollywood" countries?

Fact is, if your child has gone this far astray, chances are you did not raise her right. And i hope you are a virgin who has never seen nor touch a dick in her life coz as far as i can tell, the only difference between this child and many on here is that she was caught on camera.
