OK

If we all married the girls at 18 as op claimed,then

Who will Marry the 26 year old mum then.
OP never claimed that.

Emilokoiyawon:
Rubbish. Its better to marry at 50 and last till death than to marry at 20 and divorce at 21.
Whatever will cause the 21 year old to divorce could still cause the 50 year old to divorce. Therefore, sense dictates that what the OP means is that, whatever you will do to have a successful marriage at 50, do it earlier.

He has even alluded to that in his last paragraph.

Lol! That's a cool takedown right there.. Hmm..


Proper police training..
More like one particularly well-drilled individual. If you look at the officer to his right, he has an entirely different reaction.

Oh noooooooo!!! How DARE someone call a person a Ghanaian. That's the worst thing that could ever happen to you!!! So frightening #shivers cry
In context yes that could have serious implications. For example, Buhari's lawyers have applied for Atiku's suit to be struck out on the basis that he is a Camerounian.

That's not the point. The point is that if he is called a Ghanaian he will lose legitimacy in Nigerian politics.

ArcIbrahim38:
You are complaining Alex was put in prison by buhari but you comfortably forget how igbos butchered our sardauna and tafawa balewa.
These are unconnected events. It seems you are forgetting that in the same 1967 barely 6 months after the January coup, Northern officers assassinated Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi and scores of igbo officers. Those two events were connected and that should settle the eye for an eye score so to speak.

So what then does Ekwueme's ill-treatment have to do with the events of 1967?

You almost missed it too didn't you?

Read again slowly

THE MEMBERS OF THE INVESTIGATIVE PANEL ARE NOT MENTIONED AS HONOURABLE BY BUHARI

Did he mention himself?

Why are you trying to find a talking point when it is obvious what he meant?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Liverpool Vs Porto: UCL Quarter Finals (2 - 0) On 9th April 2019 by SmartyPants(m): 12:08am On Apr 10, 2019
Emmerlee:
I don't care about any historical rivalry.. same as most guys who are close to me. Fans hating just because of historical rivalry may be sick in the head as far as I'm concerned.. going all extreme for stuff that doesn't even bring money. Definitely not worth the pain and stress. Bigger things to worry about.
Who said anything about going extreme?? Or hating?

The fact is that Man Utd and Liverpool are historic rivals and therefore "most" Utd fans, contrary to what you said, do not also support Liverpool. As simple as that.

And there is nothing wrong with that, as that is what adds the flavour to the COMPETITION (lest you forget the inherent rivalry that comes with competition), that is the English Premier League, and indeed all professional sports.

Its almost like asking who has the time and energy to watch football and be emotionally vested in any particular team (which is what you do when you claim to be a fan of a club).

This is not true.. most of us are routing for Liverpool as a matter of fact. Aside United, I am a big fan of Liverpool FC.
Most of who??

Speak for yourself. The historical rivalry between Man Utd and Liverpool is huge.
Romance › Re: Joyce Dzidzor Mensah Kisses German Man, Accused Of Transmitting HIV by SmartyPants(m): 8:46am On Apr 09, 2019
KidsNEXTdoor:
Go kiss a positive person with cuts in the mouth
Even at that it's not that easy. It's not just about having cuts it's about having active sores that are still bleeding in both kissers mouths. That's very rare, with only one verified case of transmission happening that way in history.

not all sir, check him out.
Man doesnt get out of the blocks quick enough...
Did you see me call what you just said a popular misconception? And then you saw me state that it is proven not to be true?

Doesn't that tell you that i am aware of the widespread belief that he is a slow starter but that close inspection has actually shown that when he has won races he usually is already in the lead by the 60 meter mark?

I know what i'm saying.

positivevibez:
I'm the faithful and loyal type due to my fear of infections. I started dating this girl since June last year she looked innocent not the runs type we dated for three months before we had sex the first time. I used condom a couple of times for one month before I ditched it believing she's faithful too.

Fast forward to January I became suspicious of her when she picked a call in my presence and a male voice was talking to her when I inquired about the person she became all sweaty and nervous which rose my suspicion and denied that she doesn't know the person she received several calls like that until I got fed up and stopped her from coming to my place.

A week later I developed a serious cough coupled with a sore throat a month later I developed rashes on both my upper arms and last month I experience vomiting in the mornings for three days I suspect she might have contracted HIV because she experienced similar symptoms too I'm too scared to go for a test is it too early to go for a test please I need your advice no insults.
Those things are possible symptoms, not of HIV per se, but of seroconversion which is stage in the HIV transmission process. The thing is that they have to occur at the same time... Seroconversion happens like 3 days to one week after contracting the disease but in your case some of the symptoms are presenting upto months after your last contact with her, plus they are occurring separately whereas they should occur simultaneously. Note that seroconversion happens just once.

I really doubt that what you are experiencing are symptoms of HIV. Please go and do the test asap.

martins has great acceleration...so its possible. but he may lose in 200m.
just like bolt...alota runners would wash him in 60m coz he takes time to get to top speed.
A popular misconception. It is proven that in the races Bolt won, he was already leading at the 60 meter mark.

Business › Re: Meet The Top Nigerian Instagram Entrepreneurs by SmartyPants(m): 3:04pm On Apr 04, 2019
BuyACar:
I don't get...their office is in Instagram or what. What's the difference between Instagram influencers and Instagram entrepreneurs?
What's the rating from?
There is a loose difference between them that is often misunderstood because often the two overlap.

An influencer is simply a person who has a large following and therefore influences behavior.

A social media entrepreneur is one who uses social media as their primary business platform.

If you are selling something = entrepreneur

If you yourself are the brand or people follow you just because of who you are = influencer


Examples of social media influencers:

Your average artist such as Davido, political commentators, motivational speakers etc.

Examples of social media entrepreneurs: the ones listed in the OP

Example of hybrids:

Sports › Re: The Rise And Rise Of Samuel Chukwueze by SmartyPants(m): 2:31pm On Apr 03, 2019
I think between this guy and Samuel Kalu, we have two top level talents ready to provide some much needed creativity to our flanks. They have a similar playing style in that they are both skilful and pacy with an eye for goal although they have different dribbling patterns. Of the two i would say Kalu will be a top level star whereas Chukwueze has the potential to be truly world class.

a match even if na street football.
The question is hypothetical and thus requires no proof of having occurred before. It merely needs to be established that it is possible without regard to how probable it might be.

Hahaha... no more questions but I don't see any scenario u layed out there as being tactical as both scenario won't affect the game tactically..
gk for gk is just a straight swap like striker for striker replacement.. one don tire and needs be replaced...
A goalie for a goalie can be tactical. For example if you want to switch from a defensive game to an attacking game or to maintain possession, you can bring on a goalie that is very good at passing.

This is no ordinary school... That is a military academy and that punishment there is no assault. And no Court anywhere will entertain such suit should someone decide to bring such action.

I am not understanding.

In this case, it is the journalist that appears confused. The learned judge did not make a ruling as claimed in the report, but rather expressed a dissenting opinion to the majority decision of the judge son the panel.

that's not fair. It's obviously not from her own end. She's FAITHFUL. 100%
1. Accept that the relationship is over. You have nothing to lose. If she forgives you great and if she doesn't well you have already accepted it.

2. Confess and get her treated.

3. Stop being promiscuous.

adekalumichael:
A supposed rape case now turned homicide.
In the court of law, you won't be exonerated for killing a supposed criminal.
Of course the husband will be exonerated eventually. It merely depends on the circumstances: He is entitled to the argument of self-defense and should that fail for some reason, he is entitled to the mitigating plea of provocation.
