kingsmaila:Wow... do you know you are the one that deserves the beating this girl got? |
dominique: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. |
chic2pimp:I don't take cookies from men but I forgive you guys. Next tym Na fight o |
Ndifereke:It's not nice to laugh at people's names ![]() |
chic2pimp:Do you two realize you have been spamming my mentions for the past 24 hours? ![]() |
Keneking: you must be a nonsense boy |
Keneking:Good questions for the most part but you have jumped to the conclusion! |
wagazala:Ordinary 3,800 my guy i just dey weak right now. An amount that i regularly dash out to my boys (and vice versa) talkless of what we spend on dates. And who says one date must lead to a relationship?? What a dolt |
Ashleydolls:Whats the correlation? ![]() |
The difference is that over there most people value animals and love their dogs unlike most people down these parts |
kingphilip: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? |
Michellla:very. How hard is it to just say, "hey look i don't like it when you do this" |
rheether:funny thing is i was thinking the same about her potbelly ![]() |
Richy4:It shall be well with you my son. ![]() Let me add: "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" |
Proudlyngwa: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. |
Proudlyngwa: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. |
Lunagirl:How you dae... |
MVLOX: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 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! |
Lunagirl:Hey ![]() |
If you haven't got it right by the time you clock 29, your chances of ever making it big in life become drastically slimmer...24-29 is when you get your act together. I thought I missed it in my early twenties but its all coming together now |
rug, window, brain, lamp easy |
From the little i know of this girl, i believe her mom was a single mother That was a genuine shout out to her mother not a shade to Tonto Dike |
CFCman: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 |
Lunagirl:lol i was being sarcastic... coz just the other day you were talking like a IndecentStar |
alfredo4u: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. |
Lunagirl:Hmmm...so you mean you are a christian?? |
adeoba2008:How do you deal with it? Or are you fine with it? |
kimbra: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? |
igwegeorgiano:but you collected 200 euros (or was it 2, 000?) from the poor secretary? after expressing outraged that your boss would use her, you proceeded to further collect from an already exploited person? |
Dreamwaker:Which i would have thought would be obvious to Nigerians but oh no |
quentin06:Yes, i had to react like that. I don't need to get any photos of anything because the same way you scoured the web to find pictures of some patrol boats is the same way you could have easily googled any of the names the op presented to find out more about them. If you are not being a disingenuous unpatriotic person. To show you how much of a clown you are, here you go: NNS Aradu, Thunder and Unity respectively. I don't have the time to look for the others.
