Efe's family since we have concluded that BBNaija is a poverty eradication program. Let's just rename it the Salvation Army show

Lest we forget, there are 3 other contestants vying for the grand prize, we can't afford to ignore them and revolve the show around one person.

Team Debie-Rise
You say that as if there is some grand, noble purpose to the show. very funny!

let it be seen as a poverty alleviation scheme since that is the sum total of all that is useful about big brother nigeria.

kingphilip:
I'm in a dilemma to either commend the couple or condemn them

The delay of justice through the court system still makes it impossible for people to stick to the court while there's an escape route for jungle justice

Now the boy may go scot free even with the rape allegation
How would they know for sure that he raped their daughter unless they caught him in the act which is not stated in the article? What if if he is innocent? He might very well be guilty but that is for a court to decide.

Jungle justice cannot be excused regardless of the allegation because until a court of competent jurisdiction has passed judgment, every allegation in the sight of man remains no more or less than an allegation. Only God knows the truth of what happens in any given case but at least the courts are empowered to dig into the truth.

I have personally witnessed an incident where a small girl blatantly lied against the young man who was carrying her and said he beat her on her head when he did not. What if the people around had decided to take action against the innocent guy?

Forum Games › Re: Can You Answer This In Ten Seconds? by SmartyPants(m): 7:20pm On Mar 28, 2017
Proudlyngwa:
Did you miss this.

The answer is the sum of the 'product of the numbers' and the ' (DESCENDING NUMBER) after the numbers used'
its not the "descending number after the number used"...its the next odd number in an arithmetic progression starting from 1...it just happens to be same as the "descending number after the number used", but that is part of the trick.

here is the test: if you use your solution, it breaks the progression, however if you apply mine, the pattern is maintained.
Forum Games › Re: Can You Answer This In Ten Seconds? by SmartyPants(m): 7:08pm On Mar 28, 2017
Proudlyngwa:
Wrong bro

Modified.







For those quoting me.
Try to think of this as a riddle not an equation






























The answer is the sum of the 'product of the numbers' and the 'descending number after the numbers used'.


99 does not qualify, because even though adding upward products of 8(starting from 16) to the numbers on the right, it is not a cyclic trick question and therefore can not exist independently. i.e it must correspond with the left, if we follow the numbers on the left downwards, a pattern of 2 generates, unfortunately when it gets to 10 it is reduced to 1,making the pattern on the right invalid.
wrong. your solution does not explain the first equation since there was no preceding number. The 1 that was used there would have to have been arbitrarily chosen. A better solution that holds true in all cases is simply that you multiply the first two columns and then add to their product, the next odd, positive number to the one previously used. That is why it starts with 1.

Politics › Re: I Graduated With Third Class And I Stand With Dino Melaye(pics) by SmartyPants(m): 6:44pm On Mar 28, 2017
MVLOX:
A good employer of Labour is not looking for your result the truth is that he has seen many pple with result fail in their role... Dis days a gud employer of Labour want the man who can do the job.... That is where experience comes in.... A third class graduate will rather start small and gather so much experience like i have done unlike a guy with gud results Dat want it all big....... Am currently working while there re friends out there doing jobs that pay little or nothing simply cuz dey only have a result and no experience to show..... This issue like faith which is dead with works..... Therefore a gud result without experience is nothing
You must understand that a good result is merely a tool in the hands of its possessor, however it is an extremely powerful tool. If one does nothing with it, it is his fault but the fact is that he can certainly do more with it than the average person can with a bad result.

A good result without experience is not nothing by the way. Everyone enters the labor force with little or no experience. Companies know this and that is why they have graduate trainee programs. However, these programs are usually restricted to candidates with good grades. This means that right from the off, people with good grades have access to better experiences.

And what are you even referring to as experience? Is it relevant to your chosen career? Doing some trading may not count if you are aiming for an engineering job for example; If it is relevant, is it at the right level? You want to lecture at a university but you are getting "experience" in a small primary school? If it is at the right level, is it provable? You might not get the chance to explain what you have been doing with your time to a panel of interviewers. What if there is an automated process (as there usually is) that automatically screens out candidates without certain documents?

While you might be able to answer yes to these questions, it is clear that the barriers are steep when you have to get into the labor force the hard way. While you are spending precious time learning from your own mistakes, others are learning in the most efficient manner, which is by observing the mistakes of others, as they benefit from in-house training and the wisdom of their supervisors.

Of course, not everyone with good grades will use them wisely. But for the wise ones, good grades give more than a head start: they are an unbeatable advantage.

To cap it off, i will borrow from what you said, by saying that good grades unto which relevant experience is added, is the winning combination.

MVLOX:
I graduated with 3rd class too but will be the HOD at my work place from next month.... The question is who cares so long u do ur job very well a 3rd graduate will head even a 1st graduate
I didn't have a strong record of achievement in my earlier years but I haven't done too poorly in life since. However, lets face the facts:

1. Good academic results are not proof of intelligence but are usually a good indication of it.

Poor results means you were either dull, lazy or a victim of circumstance. Frankly, it is usually one or both of the first two, and these are traits that are hard to change.

This means that on average it is reasonable to expect that people with poor results may not do well in life.

2. Employers are looking for people with intelligence and drive. A third class simply does not portray that and consequently, anyone coming out with a third class will automatically be disadvantaged greatly, whether or not he or she thinks they are the smartest person from earth to Uranus.

3. Success builds on success. If you went through school without learning well, how well do you expect to perform in real world conditions? You cannot apply knowledge that you do not have, can you?

So while a third class is not the end of life, t really I nothing to be proud of. It is the very definition of utter mediocrity.

I mean, even look at the opening post by the OP; I was expecting to see a reason or explanation for why the fact that he made third class is relevant to Dino Melaye... But nope. No logic, no reason. Just an empty statement of support.

Newsflash!! Even Dino Melaye probably doesn't want the association of third class degree holders standing behind him!

Kneeling down to propose to a lady isn't mandatory. If it's not your thing, then don't do it.

But, OP, you are talking as though you are a virgin yourself. You know virginity is a two-way thing.
The virginity of the man is of no import in this case...this is demand and supply, and I'm sure you know that it is demand that creates value?

So also it is up to every man to determine the value he attaches to any given woman

alfredo4u:
House, just needed candid advise, my mother Inlaw is in my place for omugo/visit.

Just this evening my wife served me my dinner and after finish eating I left the parlour to the bed room, my wife came in and said why didn't I even say thank ma to her mother.

Pls kindly advise becos I nearly took offence about it.
lol i would have said next time be sure to understand the thought process of the person you marry but alas...no next time for you bro.

Nigerians and their love for unnecessary culture.

Newsflash!!: Being elderly does not absolve you from being and behaving like a normal human being. Regardless of your age or status, when you collect or receive something from someone, you are the one to say thank you. If God Almighty rewards us for our service which is obligatory in the first place, then why should you thank your mother inlaw for the mere fact of her presence in the room?

Why do africans crave honor so much??

As children we were taught to say thank you to the person who provided the meal, so if it was at home we would thank our parents and if it was an aunty's house, we would thank our aunty and uncle but not our parents.

At the end of the day though, OP, my advice to you is to prioritize the peace of your home. Say the thank you and let them glory in it.

Why are some of the guys on this thread making a mountain out of a molehill?.

Most men whose wives are stay at home mothers get monthly stipends which is for their upkeep. Some women inflate prices of things to their husbands as a means to add more money to their wallets, for some men they find out and don't care cos they understand the rationale behind it. As for her rude attitude it's bad and is what should bother you most. Not her inflation of hospital bills. Would you let N11,200 cost you your marriage?.
The ability to steal and lie is bad

The ability to steal from, and lie to someone close to you is terrible

The ability to steal from, and lie from someone close to you and not see anything wrong with it at all, is almost irredeemable


It is the woman who is willing to let 11, 500 cost her her marriage. Stealing, lying and being rude to your husband over 11, 500 when by all accounts he takes care of the home well?

How do you women justify some things?
