kinda sad that some people cannot realize that it is wrong to taunt a person over the health condition of their father.

Melonny:
No girl mate, I have the knowledge and it's power. I just want guys to think not with their heart but with wisdom. God said men should love their wives and the wife should be submissive to their husbands more than twice in the Bible. Paul only mention women should be taught how to love in Titus in the whole Bible. they weren't designed to love!
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.

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.

thesicilian:
You don't push out a legend like this. At worst you give them less playing time with a coaching role. Mourinho is going to destroy Man Utd. By the time he's through with the club they'll be like Inter Milan. Which is fine by me, because the only club I hate more than Man Utd is Chelsea.
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??

I doubt if the Council for Legal Education will have anything to do with the development, this is because the Nigerian Law School does NOT admit students who took courses via correspondence (which is what the NOUN does). It is one of the cardinal policies of the Nigerian Law School.
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.

batxano:
Communication is very important in everything we do. firstly, approach one or two of your colleagues who are in the same level with u and find out if they are experiencing the same situation. if NO, oga go to the HR and inform them that you have not been paid. the HR will definitely not take it personal because it is your right. you worked for it and value should be received in return. you cant kip suffering in silence.

when i got newly employed, my salary was only delayed for two days, my dear i went to HR oooo to ask why i hav'nt received my pay and it was resolved immediately.

GOOD LUCK.
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.

Speed is a factor because the icbm would have sped past the abm before interception. besides, it wont be in a typical head to head scenerio. you cant compare 10 mach abm with 22 mach icbm
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:
yea there are heat seeking missiles and laser guided missiles but what i am saying is the possibility of the missile not catching up with the icbm. imagine a Boeing 757 in a hot chase with a fighter jet that can go mach 1 plus, thats the scenerio. an icbm travels at almost 22 mach (15,00mph), while a normal anti ballistic missile travels between a range of 2 to 10 mach. they would have to develop a anti ballistic missile that can travel at the same speed as that of the icbm.

in addition, do you know that icbm's can avoid projectiles and manoeuvre mid air?
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?

Who is USA to decide the bad guys? Oh Sadam was a bad guy cos he didn't wanna sell oil in USD? Gaddafi was a bad guy cos he was gonna fall USD by trading oil in gold coin? Lol


How is North Korea a threat to everyone and USA isn't? USA used atomic bomb in Japan? USA ruined 6 countries not too long ago. USA is in Syria illegally. Suddenly North Korea who's arming herself cos of dangers from the outside world especially USA becomes a threat to the world.

You labelled Hezbolllah a terrorist group but CIA and Mossad are saint groups right? Dangerous guys indeed but the combination of the atrocities they have all committed is way less than that of your SAINT USA
Yep just like i said... America this America that...

I believe you don't know whom you have this discourse with. If American leaders are held responsible for their actions, how come Bush jnr, snr, Hilary Clinton, Obama are all free despite ruining nations?

How is North Korea backward? How are they living in poverty?
MSM just have helped you a great deal to know loaded your head with lies upon lies. Bro start reading other sources for informations to be properly informed

Regarding NK and SK, thanks to China else USA would have ruined NK. But they can't anymore cos they are equally equipped albeit on a low level compared to them.
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.

Hezbollah is to Iran what CIA is to USA and Mossad is to Isreal. They are all rogue establishment and they have all committed several top secret and opened atrocities. CIA still retains it's number 1 position tho.


Regarding the 2 to 5, perhaps you don't know what you wrote anymore. Weren't you the one that said North Korea stole money from Nigerian banks? And i answered you accordingly.

How is North Korea a gross danger to the world and USA is peaceful? How? Pls break it down

USA has ruined more than 7 countries and attacked more than 20 countries ALONE.

TELL ME COUNTRIES NORTH KOREA HAVE ATTACKED LETALONE DESTROY LIKE THE PEACEFUL USA?
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.

Imagine how you started a discourse, it's more than enough reason for me not to continue this with you but i will simply ignore it. The problem with guys like you is that you don't read beyond MSM. USA and Isreal airline shoots down Syria Airline which is used in fighting the terrorist in there country .

Assad has long said any country in Syria uninvited are Invaders and yes USA falls in this camp yet North Korea which hasn't hurt anybody is a rogue state. You should read my previous comment well, I said North Korea and not North Koreans.


Hasn't the MSM being painting other country as bad.

1: Iran supplies Hezbollah with long range missies, even if this is true. Aren't Isreal supplying Mossad and USA supplying CIA with whatever weapon available. You will tell me that Hezbollah is bad while CIA AND Mossad are good right?

2: Russia hacked USA elections and also used chemical weapons in Syria. Where's the proof ? They can't provide it

3: North Korea stole money in Nigeria and also the source of the notorious virus that hit the world recently called WCry. Where's the proof? They can't provide it.

4: Qatar is the sponsor of terrorism. Trump in 2011 said Saudi Arabia was the sponsor of terrorism but now the story has changed.

5. Believe MSM lies are your own peril
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.

North Korea is more responsible than USA in aspects like this. Didn't the USA use Atomic bombs on Japanese? Check the bolded for other responses
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?

USA don't just attack . The reason they Iraq was cos of "Democracy". But the real reason was because of Oil and the currency which Oil will be sold. Saddam was gonna trade oil with Euros and not USD which angered Washington and that led to his downfall. Same thing happened in Libya.

Regarding NK, you should be glad they have ballistic weapons. USA is a rogue nation and the world should be glad people can look into their faces now perhaps USA will quit their terrorism acts.
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!

Foreign Affairs › Re: Trump Calls Emergency U.N Meeting Over Success In North Korea Missile Test(Pics) by SmartyPants(m): 11:23am On Jul 05, 2017
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.

It is a man's responsibility to provide for his family.
It is a woman's responsibility to take care of the home and kids.
Anything that alters this position will definitely bring friction in the home.

If you want your marriage to work u need to see things from your partner standpoint.
You said when u were working u took care of your family, however u didn't give any details of such care the way u detailed your wifes misbehaviour.
