doctokwus:
Let me just allow the insult pass for today.
But do you know how much is the worth of the 5months salary.
Hope your ain't looking at investing the money in hawking gala,handkership or at best betnaija or baba Ibeju business because somebody that doesn't know the actual value of a 5months lay off salary but already has plans for it already has failure written over his forehead.
Assuming they are contract staff at say 30k/month, 5months gives u 150k.The only thing you sound like doing to me is betnaija,baba ijebu or MMM.
You brag and plan like those type.
Did you hear me say I was referring to 5 months of anybody's salary in particular??

Why are some of you so dull??

If I were to be laid off would it be from someone else's job or from my own current job? So which salary figure do you think I have in mind?

Huh?!

doctokwus:
This is flawed and kindergarten analogy.
Yes,one should look at the positive side of being layer off because its happened and brooding over it will only hinder your looking for options,but a single month of not earning money can actually cost you about 3months of that layoff salary in real terms.
I hope your brain is not on leave? I said I KNOW WHAT I CAN DO WITH THAT MONEY! Did I speak for anyone else? If others may fritter theirs away I have plans that will utilize mine.

Seun:
Donnie, since God doesn't own a bank account, how exactly does Pastor Chris intend to give God the money? By donating it to himself (again)?
If you bothered to even read the post you would have seen that he gave his first 10,000 dollars to TBN. So why do you have to assume otherwise in this instance?

Usually when pastors give it goes to another ministry.

And non local goal keepers don’t make funny mistakes??

We should develop our local league, that’s what I’m saying. It’s laziness,selfish and lack of vision travelling the globe looking for established players who have been discovered, nurtured and trained with facilities and resources of other countries.

Nigeria has a large pool of talents. Efforts should be made to discover and develop them.

We seem to neglect the pool of talents at our disposal every time we miss qualification to the fifa age group football tournament. Since the set of Iheanacho and co, we haven’t seen any emerging talent from the local league or any of the various football academies. They don’t have to travel to Europe to mature.
Player development has nothing to do with Russia 2018 which is the primary reason we have hired the coach. We obviously cannot develop players within the available time-frame, and moreover that is not the job of the National Team coach. His job is to win win win.

just assume an average salary of 30k.....
Tell me wetin u won use 150k do.
For a man of vision it is enough. One of my young mentors (under 35) started his business with the equivalent of 3, 500 naira.

If you know what you want to do you don't need to start with everything in place. You can start with the smallest necessary unit and build up from there.

The young man isn’t ripe for the Eagles.

At 18, and not even the first choice keeper for his bundesliga 2 side. I think he is not ready for the big stage. If he is passionate about playing for Nigeria, he should come to the Flying Eagles camp and prove himself.

We should be careful of relegating our local league and giving so much privileges to European players of Nigerian descent. Playing for some unknown team in Europe should automatically qualify one to be invited to the Eagles camp.
Haven't you seen the local goalkeepers play for the National team? They always make funny mistakes!
Sports › Re: 2018 World Cup: Maduka Okoye To Join Super Eagles by SmartyPants(m): 7:14pm On Nov 30, 2017
Very happy this man is looking to bring in foreign born/foreign bred players.

They tend to be more technically apt.

But I would really love to see Vincent Enyeama with the Super Eagles in Russia.

Destined2win:
Depends on how much you earning per month
Yeah i guess.

Still, regardless of how much you earn, 5 times your current salary is an amount you might take 2-3 years to save, and the goal of all paid employment should be savings. So if someone can hand you 2-3 years of saving sup front, you should be thankful. That is if you have goals, ideas and discipline.

You right in that he is just a footballer, but wrong in that he is not like any other.

bad example.

you don't have to UnCloth your mouth for someone to shove a spoon in there.

In other areas of life, courts will actually look to the implicit conduct of a person to determine the truth. It is just that rape has become an overly sensitive issue.

We cannot ignore the realities of life. We as human beings are naturally more responsive to what people do and how they do it than to what they are saying while doing it.

A person who has every opportunity to prevent intercourse by saying no or by resisting to the extent that it lies within their power to do so, has not only the right but the responsibility to resists. This should be held as a civil duty, to prevent an abundance of aimless litigation that boils down to he said-she said.

Celebrities › Re: Why Mr Ibu Quit Boxing: "Delta Boy Gave Me An Unforgettable Beating" by SmartyPants(m): 5:53pm On Nov 29, 2017
Same as me o...

It all started one day when i went to play football. I got into a minor fight and landed two to three slaps before the guy could even move. A guy watching told me, you have fast hands. It entered my head.

Again i got into another fight, and landed a combo of blows that had the guy bleeding before he could even move. It was at this point that i realized i had the potential to be a boxing star, but i didnt act on it just yet since i was a student and still in love with football.

however, the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight came around and the hype got me excited again. I finally decided to try my hand at boxing. I got in touch with a boxer acquaintance and met up with him to spar at the gym.

I had been watching video tutorials on how to box so i was feeling fairly confident, moving around, blocking punches, planing my next move, when i heard a sound from the inside of my head--whack!!--in an instant my eyes were facing the ceiling as white light flashed before me.

It took me a second to process the fact that i had just been the recipient of well-timed uppercut to my right jaw. As if this was not bad enough, i got an instant headache, and there and then i decided that if this was what boxing was all about, i was much better off sticking to my beloved football.

Does the fact that its a celebrity's butt make it any more exciting? The same butt that we see in bikini photos all the time?

Bloggers and dishonesty I didn't believe this story and i decided to make a little confirmation and research about it, I picked some words from the story above like (he told me that he is a car dealer) and searched it on Facebook ,no result was found. Then I screen shot the picture then cropped out the girl picture and Google it using Google image search. I was told the best result was on instagram . I clicked it and I was redirected to @berbiedoll profile. Behold the picture used in the story. I be like.. Is it by force to blog? I’m actually waiting for the post to hit front page so that I can expose this lie but i have no option than to do it now. I don’t want to Dm her that her pics is been used for a false info Coz I don’t want people to think that Nairaland is a land of deception .I was once a blogger, I know all the tricks and lie but decided to quit when I realized that it doesn't make sense to sit at home getting info and spread wrong information to the public. I deleted my facebook page with over 20k+ likes and stopped paying for hosting/domain. Abeg bloggers make una dey give out genuine story and not fake Photoshop facebook story like this..
One does not need to go too far to tell this story is terribly fake. And boring sef.

after 4 months of marriage the house you are living in could not tell you whether or not your husband was a car washer or car dealer?

smh for those who believe this story.

No matter how much sense there is some things such as these findings, generalizations are always very difficult to make because there are literally unending amounts of variable that can change things up significantly.

For example, i'm a second born son but i'm probably the most conservative and least likely to get into trouble of all my family members. But then there is just a year's gap between myself and the first born. So is it possible i imbibed some first born traits? Hard to tell.

Some other parts seem accurate.

Ahmedhussain3463:
lol,communist are more humane that the so called capitalism in the real sense.why communist put interest of society first capitalist give individual free hands to amass wealth to the detrimend of society.
This is wrong. Capitalists believe that it is in the interest of society to allow individuals work hard because they have something to gain fromt heir hard work. Communism on the other hand practices state control and forces or coerces people to do the things that are supposedly int he interest of society.

Without delving into the merits and demerits of either, you simply cannot say communism is more human than capitalism. That simply cannot be supported by any interpretation or evidence.
