Romance › Re: Have You Ever Misunderstood A Girl's Green Light before? by SmartyPants(m): 2:22am On Mar 03, 2019
Gaspardd:
This event happend 2011 in my undergrad days.
Was in thesame faculty with this girl, she was very cute and somehow our eyes used to meet whenever we were in class. This happened repeatedly that i was convinced that yea she was the one for me(virgins lol grin grin).

Whenever i come back from lectures i used to jist my frieds about this girl that used to stare at me, they would cheer me up, and i would respond with pride.
I decided to step things up by trying to catch the time she would come in for lectures and sit beside her. It was tough but one time i was lucky, even lent her my pen and left it with her afterwards. All this while in my mind, i don see gf, but i never spoke a word to her but damn i thought we had this nonverbal friendship thing going on and i would always daydream about how i will write her love poems, surprise her with gifts(got this from laws of seduction).

At the last lecture of the semester i decided to be brave for once in my lifetime by introducin myself to her and stuff but on tapping her on the shoulder after class, her response was harsh, like i wanted to steal from her or sth. She walked off hurriedly and i ran towards her tryin to remind her we re classmates and that i even lent her my pen once. She said that was actually the first time she would be seeing me in her whole entire life. I was speechless. At the end she hailed down a bike and climbed.
That day i actually lost hope in myself and humanity and i wanted to leave this planet.
In your case I suspect she may have initially been interested and then lost interest and started hating you perhaps due to your cowardice.

Imagine Atiku begging Buhari to unfreeze looters account, and you think we didn't dodge a bullet by rejecting him.

No more room for corruption in Nigeria.
So do you think buhari's second term means bad news for Tinubu? Abi Baba is a biased hypocrite?

How would you run a good business without a logo?

you people and myopic reasoning. didn't you see the part I said I would discount him to even assist, at least?
The type of business he needs does not require a logo! And even if he must get one, at least allow him to start getting ideas before you start seeking to collect your own.

Imagine advising someone to get a logo without even have a business idea. Shouldn't the logo reflect the business??

Politics › Re: What Are Atiku’s Chances Of Winning At Tribunal? by SmartyPants(m): 2:38pm On Feb 27, 2019
SternProphet:
The possibility of Atiku winning a re-run is even more remote than the main elections he lost. He won't be winning more in Kaduna, Kano, Yobe and Borno. Wike won't be helping him in Rivers and APC would be more ready in Lagos. I see them giving Buhari even more margins of victory.
I don't even see him winning in court to get a re run in the first place. APC also has videos and pictures of PDP rigging in the North, Rivers and C. Rivers states.
That is more likely to convince the Court to cancel the elections in entirety since it would be clear that the will of the masses was subverted. Remember that when parties bring a case of this nature to Court, it is not just the rights of the parties at stake but the franchise of the Nigerian people. Thus, evidence of tampering on both sides does not cancel each other out like a mathematical operation, but rather demonstrates that an injustice has been served to the Nigerian people, which must be remedied.

bonechamberlain:
Seriously a nigerian court of law committing the fallacy of ad hominem. These are the kind of judges buhari needs. Smh
1. That is not the fallacy of argumentum ad hominem since the judge did not attack the character of the person bringing the action but rather considered whether or not he has a right to bring such action.

2. Locus standi is an important legal principle and the judge has not erred in his reasoning.

The Nigerian army has not said anything about it's Captain that was caught snatching ballot boxes or it's soldiers that were shooting up Rivers but are quick to jump in to show support to Buhari.

Is it the army's business to be obtaining evidence of electoral malpractice? What is their role in elections?

Politics › Re: Some Great Lessons Learnt In Nigeria’s Presidential Election by SmartyPants(m): 1:51pm On Feb 26, 2019
Social media indicators certainly were accurate when viewed through the proper perspective. APC's support base in the southwest has clearly been significantly eroded which was unexpected.

As the majority of Nigeria's social media users are located in the south in general, clearly social media accurately indicated that Buhari would not have an easy ride anywhere in the south.

Now the mistake would have been assuming that the social media sample was representative of the entire Nigeria.

What a senseless statement coming from a man that has revoked over 15,000 visas and denied over 87,900 visas in just 12 months.

Why not advise Trump first, your lunatic boss who is busy tweeting and preempting the next U.S election coming up in 2020 thereby causing hatred and divisiveness. Your boss is raging like a mad bull on Twitter insulting everyone that does not say nice things about him and your jobless and joyless racist is here issuing a stoopid statement. Your own shame is coming. Watch out!
Ambassadors do not give or revoke visas. They ordinarily have zero influence on the process.

I'm a Christian but me self know that we are hypocrites, see Sunday is Public holiday for the whole country because of us, we force Christmas on the north, send WhatsApp BC to them

But If they send you just 1 WhatsApp BC about Allah, wailing will start, we mock their religion more than they mock ours

Muslims aren't vindictive, if they were, Nigeria for done turn to Iran since
Are you okay?

In the history of Nigeria do you know of one single instance where Christians killed a Moslem on religious grounds? Can you say the same for them?

Lol...the truth is football is dead. You go to amateur tranning and all players know is run and run. No one teaches the basics. The Zidane, kanu, Beckham, pirlo. They have a wonder of a first touch. Intelligence and all round awareness is second to non.

Nowadays money have destroyed The sport. Once a player can run and kick ball.Agents say he is the next pele..then wala! 100m.

Can't get you 15 goals a season. Am not takin about you morata!
So you are using amateur training as your basis for drawing conclusions about the entire sport of football??

Have you ever spent 5 minutes to train with even a semi-pro side? I have trained with professional teams (1st division down to third division in another African country) and the training is not all about running. In fact most of the time is spent working on tactics.

Car Talk › Carbon Poisoning From Car AC by SmartyPants(op): 4:53pm On Feb 16, 2019
Hello All.

I have seen a couple stories recently where people have been found either dead or unconscious in vehicles with no clear explanation as to what may have happened.

https://punchng.com/man-woman-found-dead-in-car-in-lagos/

https://www.pulse.ng/gist/driver-and-two-passengers-found-unconscious-with-their-eyes-wide-open/xqm1nbd

Now, one possible explanation frequently put forward is that some kind of Carbon monoxide or dioxide poisoning may have taken place in one of these three ways:

1. Leakage from the exhaust into the vents via the AC
2. Leakage of refrigerant
3. Infiltration of carbon monoxide from other vehicles through the vents and distributed via the AC.

I have done some investigation and spoken to my own mechanic and he assured me that the first option is not possible as there is no way a leakage from the exhaust can lead to infiltration through the AC system.

Some internet research also shows that refrigerant leakage is possible but is highly unlikely to lead to any form of damage as refrigerant gas is not harmful itself.

Finally the third option seems theoretically possible but given the condition of traffic on our roads, such cases should be much more common if it were a genuinely possible cause.

So guys, what do you think?

Expert opinions will especially be appreciated, along with any anecdotal evidence (examples/stories you heard).

So CNN called a couple of old men, old men and Nigerians are angry. Why?

Are they not old? Is it an insult to be called old?

And is the old age of our leaders not one of the issues most Nigerians complain about? So now that CNN is giving a voice to the complaint of the masses shouldn't you people be happy?

Romance › Re: The Most Wasted Money In This World Is The Money You Spent On Girlfriends - Reno by SmartyPants(m): 1:00pm On Feb 11, 2019
NUJABEZ:
I disagree with Reno on this one, and I'll tell you why.


In 2012, I dated Shola for two years. In the middle of that I had serous health issues. Shola rallied around and raised money on the night of my health crisis so that I could be admitted. Money spent on Shola was not a waste.


In 2016, I was dating Debbie when I suddenly lost my job without any warning. After four months, my savings ran out. Debbie split her salary with me for three months.

Money is an instrument that anyone can use to advance their goals.

Use your money to find people who are aligned with your goals and trajectory in life; any money you spend in the relationship will bring their dividends in due time.


My father once told me the story of how a woman he had a very brief romantic relationship with some twenty prior in the university met him at a very challenging time, and helped him secure a multimillion contract that lifted him up once more.


I guess what Reno should be telling young people out there is that they should at all times execute their spending in a way that guarantees a sort of return in the future.
So what happened with you and Debbie?

You don't know what you are saying. Did he play in the club ? These are what they called "unforseen" circumstances.

I think they settle something out of the Court but paying the whole money? That's nonsense and no one will do that.
You are wrong. From a legal perspective, a contract is a contract. Cardiff is liable but the delay is not because Cardiff is refusing to pay per se, but rather because Cardiff will want the insurance company to pay, and Nantes' issue will be that their contract is with Cardiff and the deadline for the first payment has elapsed.
