kinda sad that some people cannot realize that it is wrong to taunt a person over the health condition of their father. What a country. What a people. |
Melonny:Please be discerning. First, Paul make such statements only twice that i know of. Can you show us three scriptural references? Secondly, when Paul said husband's love your wives, he was actually teaching men to love their wives. We all need to be taught. Sure, women tend to be a bit more selfish but to say they cannot love a man is flat out untrue. I have been with many girls who loved me when i had nothing but my brain and a bright smile to show for myself. |
ObiOkpor:not true. i was taught how to do push-ups by the british army when i was trying to apply. At the recruitment phase, its exactly the same thing. |
Mr Kuti needs to understand that their debt doesn't just fund their lavish lifestyles, it also pushes growth in the economy, since most of it goes into business investments that create jobs and expand the amount of money in circulation. |
physical requirements are easier than i would have thought. 40 push-ups is not a difficult task. |
thesicilian:Which legend? Someone who pushed for a move away from the club twice in his prime? John Terry is a true legend of Chelsea but he had the decency to step down into a league where he can be more useful. See more high profile examples: Casillas out of Madrid Gerrard out of Liverpool Xavi out of Chelsea Valdes out of Barca Pirlo out of Milan Cambiasso out of Inter ... the list goes on No matter how big the player, their career must come to an end. Also, what makes you think Rooney would be happy with a bit part/part coaching role?? |
Playing with fire ![]() |
saqo:Agreed. Boiled corn is not only delicious but also much healthier. |
India. They are strong in computer science and they charge in the region of usd 1, 000 a year. |
FemiMaduka:Precisely. The time to rejoice is when the Council of Legal Education comes out to say, yes we are going to accept LLB holders from NOUN. |
no source, and this is not even on NOUN's website... OP...whats going on here? |
batxano:Have you considered that where he works they may have a different culture from where you work? It might be a one-man business or just an exploitative set-up where asking or demanding for his rights will get him fired without ever seeing that money. We've all heard those stories. |
prettyboi1989:An icbm would be tracked right from launch and that means its only a matter of making the right mathematical calculations to determine at which point of its trajectory to target it. No matter how fast it is going, if it has to travel a long distance it is going to be very easy to time it and target it. |
prettyboi1989:Pardon my interruption but why are you talking about anti-ballistic missiles chasing icbm's? If and icbm is fired at me and I fire anti ballistic missiles to intercept it they would be headed for a head on collision so their relative speeds are not really a factor...no? |
ollah1:Alright we can agree to disagree |
ollah1:Can you point me to any neutral source that paints a pretty picture of life in North Korea? As for countering your points I think I basically covered it all previously |
ollah1:Coz no matter how many times I tell you its not about America you are still going to revert to that. North Korean citizens are in serious bondage as we speak and their only hope is the intervention of a stronger power. Dont play politics with people's lives. |
ollah1:Yep just like i said... America this America that... |
ollah1:I did say to some extent didn't I? When it comes to global politics you can never say that the blood on the hands of one country prevents it from acting as a moral policeman. Sure, that is a great, just sounding argument, but at the end of the day what we want is freedom and liberty, and someone who is strong enough to say no to the bad guys. That is the US. A nuclear North Korea is a threat to everyone everywhere because there is no way to tell what exactly the North Koreans plan to do with them. However looking at their key allies, it does not look positive. Iran has clearly demonstrated its willingness to put deadly weapons of mass destruction in the hands of terror groups like Hezbollah, and it is dangerously, the only country in the world with a known policy of intending to wipe out another state. These are dangerous guys but i don't expect you to see that. All you know is America this, America that. |
ollah1:I never said the USA is peaceful. But at least they do not have an aura of mindless violence about them. The funniest thing is that the greatest instance of North Korea destroying a country is North Korea itself, which lies in poverty and backwardness thanks to the greed and mindless power hunger of its leaders. At least in the US, leaders are held accountable to some extent. In North Korea there is nothing of the sort. Secondly, if North Korea could, it would invade South Korea. They tried and only failed thanks to the intervention of the US. |
ollah1:1. Wait... is it that you do not know that the CIA and MOSSAD are both state agencies and therefore are not separate from the US and Israel respectively? Whereas Hezbollah is a mere Lebanese militia subject to nobody? First off, the comparison is therefore totally wrong on every level. Secondly do you not know that both the CIA and MOSSAD have no access to the sort of weapons being provided by to Hezbollah? Who are Hezbollah accountable to? I don't know what points 2-5 have to do with the discussion on nuclear weapons. We know the North Korean state is a gross danger to the world, because if they can do such horrible things to their own people, then imagine what they can do to others if given the chance. Also note that the source of the friction between North Korea and South Korea is the desire of the North to invade and annex the South. This has been an ongoing issue since the 50's. North Korea is anything but peaceful. They are just the nasty bully who is forced to behave because there is a bigger bully in the yard. |
ollah1:You are getting it all wrong because. Most of you extremists are already programmed with what to say in specific instances so you can't even see that i have agreed with you on certain points, you are just ranting on and on. The US may have supplied arms to what you may chose to call terrorist groups for the purpose of making your argument, but that is a whole other debate for another day. Right now i am talking about nuclear freaking weapons, not assault freaking rifles! I don't care who supplies who with small arms, since this is a tit for tat game that has been going on between the US and Russia since the fifties/sixties. small arms are one thing but it is one record that Iran has supplied and attempted to supply long range missiles to Hezbollah for the purpose of attacking Israel. If they get a nuke, there is every indication that they would use it for similar such purposes. Do you know the extent of environmental degradation that may occur in the instance that even a small nuclear bomb goes off? The cost in human life and conditions for living both in the present and in the future? Furthermore, you cannot say the North Koreans are responsible because they do not mess with other countries. You are exposing a high level of naivety and ignorance. Naivety in the sense that you do not realize that the US and strong regional actors like Japan, China and South Korea are the big stick keeping North Korea in check. Secondly, are you aware that North Korea has been stealing money from Nigerian banks to finance its belligerent quest for nuclear weapons? |
ollah1:Just as oil may be the driving factor behind most middle eastern invasions, safety is another very important concern. That was the whole reason the US went into Afghanistan. There was no oil there. The fact is that the US has had nukes for decades but they have never used them so we know at least that we are safe to that extent. The problem with North Korea is that it is a genuine rogue state where the leader has absolute authority, and a penchant for displaying military might, plus known affiliation with terrorist inclined actors. In particular, Iran, which finances and supplies Hezbollah and Hamas, which in turn are linked with so many offshoot jihadist groups. The problem? Simply the fact that nukes could get into the hands of terrorist groups courtesy of Iran, courtesy of North Korea. And we all know that terrorist groups do not really care who they hit, maim or kill so long as they can do some damage. In a scary way, there is the potential for the likes of boko haram to lay their hands on small nukes if these rogue states are allowed to flourish. We do not need North Korea to be the counter-balance to American excesses, as we have Russia who have always played that role perfectly in terms of military might. Then there is also China which is more of an economic counter-weight to the US, but which also has enoough military adn cyber capacity to constitute a serious threat against the US. These countries are much more responsible and reliable that a North Korea led by by an infantile madman who executes his own family members with anti-aircraft guns! |
All good things must come to an end. He'll get his pay out and probably move back to Israel or some other league. |
In my opinion George W. Bush was extremely negligent in that the time to crush North Korea was in 2001. America had no business invading an Iraq that had only imaginary nuclear weapons, whereas North Korea had real plans to develop them, which was a known fact to the world. They should have invaded and destroyed the Kim hegemony, even though it would come at a great cost. The benefits would far have outweighed the costs. Today we are staring intercontinental nuclear war in the face, as a very real possibility, and it is too late to act preemptively, because Kim has already gotten his nukes. |
The point simple is, how can you expect the holder of a political office in one country to be proud of being associated with another? That sends a message to the people who voted you in that you do not consider yourself one of them, but rather an outsider trying to take their place. This Dabiri woman did not try at all! |
That looks like a policeman though |
Unimaginable123:How come you've fought so many of them? For the average person, encounters with the military should be very rare. So are you a bully? Or a liar? |
lepasharon:i just burst out in uncontrollable laughter at work... Damn!! This nigga is too much Probably wants to collect three spoons of her milk if you know what i mean ![]() |
YelloweWest:Are you telling me you didn't see the part where he financed her entire post graduate education? The wife was jobless up untill recently so you dont need to ask him to give details of what he did since it is obvious he did everything! |
Ximenez:I think an article like this is best done after or at worst while the deals are being concluded. So many stories in the media are just the figment of someone's creative imagination. |
