Bawsse:How are Leon Balogun and Troost Ekong white? Is your brain paining you this fine afternoon? |
Tolexander:With my little experience of the game I can tell you that the best wa to shine in football is to keep things extremely simple: Don't try to overdo things. Professionals certainly know this especially international level players. |
relationship this relationship that...why cant you all realize that everyone has their own life to live? Do what works for you! |
6sco:He doesn't necessarily have to have an agenda. He could be insane. Also by agenda, i mean an outcome, usually political, that one would trying to achieve through the means of terror. |
wunmi590:Guilty of what exactly? |
tripleY:It makes a lot of sense. 1. Smoking is addictive so everyone knows smoking is going to continue. 2. Smokers know that smoking is bad for them. They are aware that the cigarette companies are killing them 3. So this cigarette company decides to try to show its customers that it does care (which it doesn't) The big punchline: 4. And along the way, hopefully convince people who want to start smmoking, that they have found some ways to make smoking safe. |
If the guy drank himself to death then why is it an issue who was or wasn't with him.at any time that night? Its entirely inconsequential, since being around a person drinking to death is mot an offence. And neither is it a legal requirement that you must wait with a person you dropped off at the hospital... Nothing story RIP to the dead |
brainpulse:No... this is abnormal now. I am not one to play politics over trivial issues but the number of Northern names we keep hearing getting appointments is alarmingly disproportionate. I have always been inclined to support Buhari's anti-corruption rhetoric, however it seems as though this man wants to play on our collective Southern intelligence. How can it be that only Northerners are qualified? As trivial as this issue seems, this is the last straw for me. Buhari must go come 2019. |
6sco:1. Read my comment in relation to the perspective of the person i was quoting, who seemed to believe the charge of terrorism is higher than mass murder or other applicable charges. Besides, the question of the relative weight of an offence is a moralistic question, and i am entitled--in entirety--to consider mass murder less weighty than terrorism, in my own opinion! 2. How you arrived at the conclusion that the absence of a known agenda equals proof of an agenda will remain a mystery for generations to come. You need a knock on your head. I said a person who has no agenda cannot be labeled a terrorist, you rightly noted that he may have had an agenda which merely remains unknown for now. The logical conclusion therefore, is that until an agenda is discovered, he must be addressed as a mass murderer. 3. This has nothing to do with anything i have said so why mentioning it in relation to my comment? Are you well? |
erico2k2:Of course they are protecting their interests. Whose interests should they be protecting? Is that not the foundation of society, exchanges of mutually beenficial interests? Does a baker give you bread out of concern for your own interest or his? The US presence in Niger is of benefit both to the US and to Niger. That is healthy diplomacy. |
codemaniacs:Hey! Don't quote me if you are not certain that you have applied your brain before commenting. The article states that the slain US soldiers were in a convey along with Nigerien troops, which means they are there either by invitation or by acceptance of an offer to help. The US is not a rival to African countries so we have no reason not to accept their help in anyway. Or you mean to say the US is attempting to conquer Niger? Of all countries? With a military presence of less than 100 men? In fact, what exactly is your point?? |
wasiudvd:Those would be green berets... they are embedded in so many locations around the world, usually helping to train local troops in counter-insurgency/counter-terrorism |
Mr L** Was a great maths teacher, and the first person who could ever get me to take an interest in the subject by making me realize i could actually be very good at it. Sadly, he ran into some serious trouble later on. Mr Kennedy I was a student with a poor track record but Mr Ken saw something in me. I transferred to his class and within the first two weeks he drew me aside and told me "you are the best student by far, you need to work hard". This was one of the defining moments in the birth of the smartypants. Mr Ray. Thanks to my constant, well-meant corrections, Mr Ray angrily named me, Mr-know-it-all. Thanks to Mr. Ray, i learnt that people in authority don't always belong there. Mr. Marrah The worst teacher i have ever had by far. This guy would only read out notes in class, which i have come to realize was merely a strategy to pass the time, since he had nothing to actually say. Oh, and the notes were copied, mostly verbatim, from the textbook. Honorable mention to Mr Majid, our Physic teacher from Ghana, who would always show up with his breath smelling of alcohol, wearing the same clothes, and some hideous yellow socks. Majid was a cool, young guy though--and a brilliant teacher--and students loved him. Our grade was generally unruly but Majid was feared because it was known that he wouldn't take nonsense even from those who fancied themselves to be bad boys. |
WIZGUY69:The lack of an agenda means he is a mere mass murderer, not a terrorist. |
Really, it has a bit less to do with raw intelligence for me, and more to do with being philosophical. When I say i want an intelligent girl, i am looking for someone who likes to think things through, has interesting opinions, can make & counter a logical argument. I'm not so interested in her CGPA although a girl bring home F's would be extremely undesirable. |
seguno2:You have to fight and hustle hard so that the other millions of sperm hustling to make it to fertilise the egg before you will not make it in time... Its not easy bro |
2innocent:Lol wat is wrong with this one... What did I start? Lol Just try to understand my point k? |
I would have thought such a thing would be rather unsuitable for the Nigeria market, given the current security challenges we tend to face |
China should not start what they cannot finish... All this while they have been insulated from terror but its like they don't want to continue in the path of wisdom |
There are fake NYSC camps?? Who goes there? |
9jakohai:Lol...well, life is not fair |
9jakohai:Okay but also in the Rangers and Celtic examples they also were not going to join the premier league directly. And if a team like Barca is available to join the premier league then it's really very simple: all they may be asked to do is enter the championship promotion playoffs with the top 3 championship teams. The pedigree the Barca brings, the premier league would welcome them with open arms |
9jakohai:As i understand it, the Rangers and Celtic proposal was not about them joining the premier league, it was about them forming some form of new division. I see no reason the premier league would kick against it since they already have Swansea and Cardiff (at a lower level), both welsh clubs. |
mcquin:Your own nko? |
Wish i was in town... Position: Defensive midfield- Right back Preferred foot: Right foot but generally ambi-dexterous Strength: reading the game, passing, tackling interceptions, dribbling Weakness: aerial duels Estimated market value: 50 million GBP ![]() |
I am struggling to see the relevance of this post. ![]() From the get go, if is impossible to prove that the group of people carelessly referred to as "the whites" actually hate Nigerians. Maybe some of them do. Secondly, why is this something we should be concerned about? And why does the OP feel the need to offer explanations on behalf of "the whites"? Even throwing in the fact that he is married to one in order to make the Nigerian reader respect him more. Sounds like this black man has been whitewashed! |
It can be difficult dealing with clients who have some understanding of a little jargon and want to tell you how to do your job. Lost count of the number of times I've told this particular client "it doesn't work like that" Lol |
Israeljones:Simply means its open to both fresh grads and experienced applicants. |
markpenk:Yes I have a few personal projects I do on the side... I'm staying with these guys out of loyalty to my boss who asked me to give him a specific number of years before i leave, in return for certain benefits. |
I'm a supervisor in a content marketing firm. Basically I do the final editing and take care of admin issues. Very boring. |
