Deadlywoman:
The point I was making was the use of the money. An addict will have substance, material for his money but a gambler walks away empty handed.

I got your point...mine was that the gambler actually has a substance of negative value so he really has a net negative whereas the gambler has nothing. If you think back to your number lines in school, zero is greater than a negative number.

Deadlywoman:
Why do you think they do it

Their systems develop a dependency on the drug... if they don't continue to use they will fall seriously sick and miserable.

Deadlywoman:
I would take a drug addict over a gambler because the former gets to enjoy his money while the later throws away his money.

Lets examine your logic.

Assuming the gambler never wins, all his money is wasted and you never enjoy anything. The drug addict also uses all his money on drugs and you never enjoy. And btw once a person is addicted its no longer enjoyment but a necessity.

Worst case scenario:

The gambler stays poor and the addict dies. You are left with nothing in either case but in the addict situation you have to deal with the loss of a loved one.

Best case scenario:

The gambler may actually win. So in this case, you may end up with a very rich guy. Best case for the addict is he doesn't die, and he kees on spending all his money on drugs.

Analysis:

In the worst case scenario you have nothing to gain from either one but choosing the addict will actually cost you some of what you already have in terms of emotional consequences. In the best case scenario you have nothing to gain fromm the addict but a whole lot to gain from the gambler.

I'm actually impressed by the ambience of the classroom and the furniture is top class.

I was getting impressed too, till i noticed the USAID sticker...at which point i almost became depressed.

yorubakid:
I don't get it, are they trying to leave Lagos to another state to continue their madness or is it only Lagos command that was overhauled and reformed leaving out other commands,the story doesn't add up at all..

The title misrepresents the story. The are not applying to leave Lagos, they are applying to leave FSARS in its entirety.

Rihanna looks so old there.

It seems to me that the lady actually took the comment for what it was, being banter and she attempted to respond humorously.

Racoon:
This APC government continues to confirm how wicked it can be.This is a journalist the government via Lai Muhammed have persistent denied they dont have in their custody.
Can Lai Muhammed explain to Nigeria this blantant lie.Yet this same idiot talks about lies,hate speech & fake news

https://www..com/news/6004966/no-journalist-in-detention-in-nigeria-lai-mohammed.html

I'm not on the govt side in this matter but to be fair mate, the minister actually admitted that the man was in their custody, what he said was that the man was not a journalist. It's right there in the article you posted a link to.

OPTIMUSPRIME08:
he said what he had in mind regardless of the question, if not players are trained more on mind games than you think.
Do you think Ronaldo has not been asked questions that could make him attack Madrid
I once watched an interview where messi said cr7 was finished
I also watched an interview where cr7 said messi can't be finished because there are both from the same world so he can't be finished.
Football is more of mind games before the physical attributes
Ramos attacked him cos he wanted to not necessarily because of the question

Ramos didn't attack him...he has said nothing bad about Ronaldo has he? Your point originally was that Ronaldo's comments didn't mention real specifically while Ramos's did. And i'm letting you know that the reason he has mentioned Ronaldo specifically is because he has been asked about Ronaldo specifically, and in fact he has been specifically asked about a particular comment Ronaldo made. Period.

OPTIMUSPRIME08:
Can't relate on how Ronaldo statement should make him feel pained, his statement were so direct to Ronaldo, while Ronaldo's wasn't even so directed to Madrid..

You have to appreciate the fact that Ramos didn't make these comments in a vacuum... He must have been asked a specific question relating to the issue by a reporter.

OP this piece is genuinely lazy.

But why would the person opposite them have been videoing or taking a picture at that particular moment?

modelmike7:
When I was doing my internship,a lady died on the operating table because her husband couldn't make up his mind about having her ruptured uterus removed cos she's had only female kids.that was his concern male child the lady bled out and died."
So sad.
He killed her!
Prayer works definitely but that is FOOLISHNESS.

I dont see where they mentioned that the man was praying...

Its a good list actually. The difficult ones might be first class and government/multi national job but its not impossible, and that's what she wants.

Hope she finds her man.

GutsOverFear:
Maybe Mourinho himself is the problem..

The squad he used to leave Chelsea in 10th position was the same one Conte used with the addition of only Kante and Alonso...

He's lucky Utd are a patient club, the would've sacked his ass by now.

Sack him after lifting the club from the doldrums of 7th to 2nd? A record high in the post Ferguson era

englishmart:
funny. Which one is Facebook, and who is Zuckerberg? Did they have a choice?
They should have just told us that Zuckerberg budgets $10m annually for his security..

It's just like saying "Abrahimovic applies for $2m loan from Chelsea..

There is a big difference.

Facebook is a publicly traded company. Abrahimovich owns Chelsea.

This means that Zuckerberg has other co-owners to worry about, as he owes them a fiduciary duty to act in their best interests whereas Abrahimovic has only himself to think about.

Oildichotomy:
Inasmuch he is doing something worthwhile, we all contributed to his finances

What does this have to do with the subject of the post?

msughdoo:
International Criminal Court has the jurisdiction. Guess what? The head of the court is an IGBO man!

You mean the same Igbo man Buhari was wining and dining with the other day?

Anyway just to provide a technical correction, the President of the ICC has no say in determining what cases are brought before the court. This role falls to one of the Chief prosecutor, the Security Council or a State party to the Rome Statute.

Importantly, the Sec. Council can veto any and every attempt to bring a case before the ICC. Nigeria has powerful strategic partners in the US and China and is on good terms with all the other nations in the security council.

So how do you see the prospect of success before the ICC?

Ewoma45:
I don't see anything wrong with what he is putting on since it's the wedding's after party. Abi, una want make him wear agbada go after party?

The most notable thing is not the combination itself, its the fact that he doesn't look comfortable.

Naijawebmaster:
Many people especially women will find this berating which is totally okay. But I do not think Punch used it with the intentions of berating her or women in general.

I believe they used it because that description will attract the curiosity of readers( which actually did). If they used her name, it may not have gotten the desired attention.

In media, headline sells. Same way bloggers will start headlines with...Wizkid's Ex... Tuface's baby mama...etc.

Guys are naturally closer to their mum than dad. I hardly pick up the phone to call my dad myself, I'd rather call my mum and ask after my dad, though he calls me from time to time and our conversations always goes thus:

Dad: How are you?
Me: Fine Sir
Dad: How is business?
Me: Fine Sir
Dad: When are you coming to see us?
Me : I don't know yet but I will try very soon.
Dad: Okay, bye.
Me: Thank you sir.

African fathers always tend to make themselves look like "Adolf Hitler" to their kids, these children grow op with the fear of their dads in mind. You can love your dad so much and provide his needs, but you can never have that close relationship with him like your mom.

Why can't you just speak for yourself alone?

Can you elaborate on that please?

Across Africa slavery was already being practiced in various forms.

The article in the OP speaks about it in paragraph 2 :

Long before Europeans arrived, Igbos enslaved other Igbos as punishment for crimes, for the payment of debts, and as prisoners of war. The practice differed from slavery in the Americas: slaves were permitted to move freely in their communities and to own property, but they were also sometimes sacrificed in religious ceremonies or buried alive with their masters to serve them in the next life.

And here are some other articles:

http://www.discoveringbristol.org.uk/slavery/people-involved/enslaved-people/enslaved-africans/africa-slavery/

https://research.cornell.edu/news-features/curious-history-slavery-west-africa

A lot of people argue that traditional African Slavery was milder and had room for more altruism. However, all slavery involves the same basic abbrogation of a person's will and what we understand today, as human rights.

thesicilian:
Inferiority complex makes you blame yourself even for crimes perpetrated against you by those you feel are superior to you. Did the Africans ever have any choice on the matter of slave trade? Agreed some of our ancestors took an ungodly advantage of the situation, selling out their own kin for personal gains, but what happened to those who tried to resist the British and Portuguese exploitation like King Jaja of Opobo and Oba Ovonramwen of Benin? Were they not still overthrown by the superior fire power of the European military and replaced by those who would dance to their evil tunes?

Of course they had a choice. Even after the slave trade was abolished in the Western world, Africans still cooperated freely with private firms to capture and sell slaves off to South America. That was a choice.

And of course slavery existed before the coming of the white man. That was also a choice.

ADEMOLA144:
of course i know who steffi graf is and who the Bleep is margaret court ?

google the greatest female tennis player of all time and see who pops up

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=the+greatest+female+tennis+player&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB805GB805&oq=the+greatest+female&aqs=chrome.3.69i57j0l5.6958j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

It's like you just want to argue. I said not all would agree, not that i don't agree, and i've shown you some who do not agree. That's all!

Steffi Graf is the Greatest Female Tennis Player of all Time, Nobody can deny This Universal Truth,
Although Margaret Court won more majors, Graf is the only player (male or female) to win every Grand Slam event at least four times in singles. Her incomparable forehand, her extraordinary coordination and an unmatched zest for competition lifted Graf to her preeminent level. Graf broke quite a few records many of which are still unbeaten to this day, including the record for the highest number of weeks with a number one ranking (an incredible 377 weeks), at one stage staying at the top spot for 186 consecutive weeks. greatest player of all time by numerous publications and polls. it is her ability to triumph on all surfaces. Whereas other players had their favorite surfaces, for example Margaret Court was a hard court specialist and Martina Navratilova always excelled on grass court , Steffi Graf was a true all-rounder of all time, regardless of surface.

Had Serena won one more Grand slam her case would have been stronger. That's all i said. Please go find someone else to argue with.

ADEMOLA144:
who has been better than her ? keep quiet. the whole world agrees except you. but lucky for the world you dont count

What do you really know of tennis? Do you Know that Serena Williams needed this win to match Margaret Court's number of grand slams?

And do you know who Steffi Graf is?? Do your research before talking.

midolian:
75% scholarship? The cost implication of the remaining 25% will marvel you. It's probably enough to get you graduated from a Private Nigerian University over and over again

That is only half of the analysis. The truth is that you are not getting a degree from a private Nigerian university and as such there is no basis for comparison. What they offer is a standard UK degree (albeit from a lesser ranked school) at a true fraction of the cost. It is not a scholarhsip as such, but more of an online program with reduced fees.

A few years ago myself and other colleagues at my then workplace decided to apply but i was skeptical and decided to wait. Today one in particular has graduated and he has no complaints.

She is the best ever female tennis player. She can call it a day and go home a happy woman

not all would agree. This win would have helped settle the argument

HEseesall:
When he told me he wants to use his share for his parents, we agreed my share would be used for get a property then we start to build from there and that's what i did, i expected he knows i would use my name cos i keep the documents, now he is saying he wants his own name only not jointly, who says that pls, at least i compromised for jointly,

Just for clarity, were your contributions to this business equal? And on an ongoing basis has your husband shouldered the lions share of responsibility?

Did he ask you and your kids to pack out or just you?

What was the nature of the dispute that led to this standoff?
