It was some years back and I had come out to ease myself in the middle of the night. It was pitch dark and the night was immediately illuminated by the kite like object flying very lower to the earth. The object had several stars falling out of it to the ground while it took it's time to move slowly but quite fearful. It had a tail from where the stars also fell. The aircraft disappeared within few minutes.
It was the size of a normal combat drone, but there was no drone technology then. It was as though, the object was conducting a kind of surveillance, but that could still have been done pretty well from a higher altitude even undetected if that was the mission; again it was all illuminated and difficult to behold with the ordinary eyes, stars scaling off and falling to the ground; not a single sound. The tail just like a rope suspending from a child's paper kite had stars scaling off to the ground also.
My personal alternative scientific explanation is maybe a space program, or other research that require close contact with ground objects being conducted by a research institute in say, China or US; the illuminating objects might be falling to make instant contact with the ground object and transmit visually analysed images. Choosing night could be apt in this respect also
But then, but then. THE FLYING KITE BALL OF SPARKLING FIRE AND FALLING STARS DISAPPEARED JUST WITHIN MINUTES (NOT DIMINISHED IN PERSPECTIVES BECAUSE OF DISTANCE.)
I had applied for the first position and after 2 days they advertised for another position that I am more qualified for. Should I go ahead and apply for the second position? Advise needed
Suleja could be described as Abuja or more aptly put Nyanya for instance, yet cost of things in Gwarinpa where I live triples anything you can get in Nyanya. Also check the reasoning in the post blow my original post. Do your findings and engage her in discussions but have it at the back of your mind that our country has gone berserk on the price of staple food.
Same family of 3 but I do 20k weekly. I didn't hear you mention that you buy meat, beverages, milk, etc. Also nutritional codes might be another issue. To have a top notch nutrition as a family is a real big deal in Nigeria. Trust me. You buy bags of local or foreign rice, but did you notice how many times she gives you basmatic. What of corn beef which she might want to use in your omelette Don't conclude so soon. Look into all these factors
Aostle: I am married with one kid and another one on the way. I do two weeks in and two weeks out job and I earn 200k per month. We live in our own house and my wife runs a boutique business in a store owned by us so she doesn't pay rent for the business.
We have constant electricity free of charge so we cook with an electric cooker.
The problem here is I give her 50k monthly to take care of the house while I settle every other stuff including stocking the house with bag of rice, groundnut oil, palm oil, medical bills, cable subscription, school fee, clothing, etc and I also bring provisions and toiletries when I am coming back from work yet I get complains of the feeding allowance is not enough month in month out and I am getting fed up.
She knows I am doing a building project yet I keep getting complains.
Pls, advise me, is the feeding money not enough?
It depends on the city which is a vital info you missed out. This may not be enough in Abuja town, not the suburb.

pascalbenz: Saw dis some where and felt like sharing ...
That was savage. Hahaha
They only translate Swahili to English on Google and they start with the funniest accent in Africa. The substitution of letter "l" with "r" is second to none in the world with word like "seven" pronounce "seeviin".
And you know what, their superiority complex no be here. They say they are the Europe in Africa. All of them with big big front teeth except Uhuru Kenyatta.
Their men like woman like Kai. Many were brought as "cargo" from south Africa during the HIV pandemic lol. Abegiii
These are serious issues in the laws of war. While transferring minor and light weapons could be regarded as passive participation in hostilities which may not readily provoke an attack on the provider or assister country, supplying major weapons like fighter aircraft is undoubtedly active participation which justifies a direct response to such provider country including those that gave right of way. The laws of war outlaws the use of certain weapons like nukes and cluster bombs but Russia may not hesitate to use them this time. So, Zelensky may not have enough knowledge of this, moreso when his advisers are in the trenches . May God himself rescue his country Putin's evil regime.
Yakson5: What I Saw Today In Kano Secondary School (pics)
Good day Nairalanders, I just say let me share to you what my eyes just saw in a government secondary school situated in panshekara Kano.
And please I don't mean to ridiculed or hurt anyone or any state.It is just my way of contributing to the growth of education in Nigeria so that our leaders can see what education is facing in our country especially Kano state.
This is a picture of a classroom where students are expected to learn;
It is better than some lecture haalls in Nigerian public universities
After being assaulted by an area boys at the entrance if a fuel station, perhaps on the instruction of the fuel station manager, I decided to call the police. The area boys was apprehended but the manager offered to fill my fuel container which was the part of the reasons the area boy assaulted me.
To cut a long story short, the fuel station manager asked that I dropped the case and release the boy if he would fill the gallon, not free of charge though. I refused and insisted that the boy should be arrested. To my surprise, one of the officers called me to a corner and advised me to accept the managers offer and that its a good deal. That's how the area boy was released. Fuel presently is so regarded especially in Abuja.
Reflect7: Ukrainians are throwing people that look like you out of trains and buses, including pregnant women with children.
Yet you are here playing happy slave to them and ''praying for Ukraine''.
Some of you Nigerians are an utter disgrace and embarrassment.
In war situations these things are normal, unless done in excess which I think has not been the case. The real situation is beaten out of proportion by the social media.
MangekyoAlt: I read a report two days ago narrating how Ukrainian troops were firing artilleries from residential areas. I was out then. I wanted to post it here on nairaland for fucktards to see. But somehow when I got home I didn't see the article again. Google must've screened it. How will military personnel be shooting at enemy troops from residential areas and expect them not to return fire because they're in a residential area? I've seen videos of supposed Russian shelling of residential areas. It seems these Ukrainians are actually firing from civilian population with hope russia woodnt fire back. It's a pity but it's what losers do when they want to gather sympathizers from the world. Zelensky remains the most clownish president the whole world has ever seen. The fool is in his bunker hoping throwing human shields at Russian advance would stop them. The fool doesn't realize he'll find himself exiled in some remote village in Africa in a months time, that is if putin doesn't get his bare hands on him before then. Meanwhile, contrary to reports coming from western media's claiming zelensky is in the front lines, the clown is actually in some of his bunkers and only comes out once in a while to record himself saying he's in the streets or office and how he isn't afraid while constantly whinning about how the west aren't doing much to his expectation as if they even told him they would before he got on putins nerves it seems he actually believed NATO would stand to Russia.
While I pity Ukrainians, they should hold their pathetic president accountable for the deep shit they're in right now.
What point are you making exactly? That if a rogue country invades your territory, you should wait till they advance fully so you don't shell from civilian area. And then because Ukrainian soldiers violated this rule, their president is a clown. Anyways, this is Nairaland; just decided to stop by. Migrated since to Quora.
minks: For those of us who are not regular church goers, gather here and let's learn the Bible from each other.
My favourite scripture is Romans 8:32
"He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" (King James Version)
This scripture never fails to remind me of God's unconditional love. When the days get dark, I open my Bible to this scripture to remind myself that God is always with me and He cares about me.
What's your favourite Bible verse? Share with us so others can learn a thing or two.
Romans 5:19 (KJV)
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
I had wondered if this is an act of worship or unconscious reminiscing of a personal issues. Tears had severally rolled down my cheeks each time I tried singing a particular worship song in a very embarrassing way. I really could not hide crying like a baby. I don't usually cry. I have decided to get distracted or better, go outside the church each time they bring up this song. I really do not understand.
A black lady caregiver gets a very unfair and wicked treatment from her white boss's mother.
I mean, what was she suppose to do in this situation? Terrible and troublesome old woman o
Picks a knife. Insults the caregiver. Tosses the caregiver vegetables away. Smh watch until the end
On the version of the video posted on the Instagram 3 days ago, the caregiver got back at the old woman when she could bear it no more, shutting her up immdietely. Nairaland is lately getting these stuffs stale and incomplete.
Right001: When I moved to the U. K for my master. I stay in an flat which consist of many white English boys. So an England boy called Harry decided to show me the equipment in the apartment. So when we got to the kitchen he show me a dish washer which I did not care to look at and he responded that have I see a dish washer before? I was shock and told him of course have seen a dish washer and he reply that I did not want to sound rude but africa are poor and always hungry and I reply him do I look like someone that is poor and hungry and his respond was you are from the rich family in Africa and I told him clearly my parents are not rich that am just an average Nigerian boy and he his reply was it is impossible that you are either rich or poor in Africa and my response was that he should stop believing the propaganda been pass by CNN and BBC about Africa.
After that we bonded and we usually teese ourself and crack jokes. So during December period I was infected with covid 19 which all. Of them in the house have travel to their family home to spend Christmas and new year holiday. So during that mid January on Friday I was in the parlour with my white flatmates and we where just joking and catching fun then we started to talk about covid and I told them during the time they travel I contacted covid and Harry reply that he is going to kill me so I laugh and I thought it was one of the joke but he said he mean it and I started telling him that so do u expect me to call u in your family home and tell u I contacted covid and the others white where explaining to him and this guy started using abusing words against me telling me to return back to Africa and saying some nasty words about Africa and I told him if u have brief with me then challange me and stop picking on my continent and colour and he told me that he is going to insult my colour and continent that if I want to fight him then we should go to the garden to fight as man to man. I was just saying in my mind this man is looking for someone to kill him. I just ignore him and when I stop replying him he just calm down and left. What pain me most was when he left then all the white guys told me his crazy that I should not answer him and I was like when he was insulting me racially all of u where just watching him as if nothing happen. After some time he came back to the parlour and apologise to everyone except me for been a nusiance and after that he wanted to discuss with me and I shouted at him saying back off. After sometime he wanted talking to me and I just ignore him as if nobody is talking and after talking I just close my laptop and gave him a bad gesture and left the palour then he reply that I am looking at him as a vallian that he is not a bad guy.
The next day his girlfriend came visiting him and was smiling at me and i just reply her with a bone face and left. Then after sometime he came apologising to me that what he did to me was wrong that he did it under the influence of acholol which I know but I said to myself for him to say this to me when he was drunk meaning he has been harbouring such thoughts in his mind and the alcohol just gave him the courage to express his racist characters to me. I told him I forgive him but right now I don't trust any English people or white people because for such a guy to laugh and joke with u and still be a racist his something terrible. Abeg make una give bristish chance.
I just see a spoilt little English boy. Did you ask how old he is.
Keep him at arms length but don't nurse grudges. This is not an ideal racist situation.
ledaman: I don't know what is special about this? As a Muslim it is a must to accept Jesus Christ as one of the prophet of Almighty Allah and the prophet Mohammed Peace be upon him as the seal of the prophets. So nothing as worth Shouting Hallaluyah !
The difference is that Christ is the only route to God Almighty. That He died and resurrected from the dead. That He is the only son of God. That He and the Father (God) are one, and as such, He is God.
My husband took his bag and left the house after an argument and have been gone for over a week now, trouble started when he came back and told me he wanted to hire a particular girl to work with him,this girl was working with his friend before he closed up.he told me his friend beg him to hire the girl. Earlier in the week my husband told me he was going for a convention,I checked his phone and saw when this particular girl was asking him when he will be leaving the house at 7:44 in the morning,I didn't talk or made a fuss about it,so when he told me he wanted to employ this girl my suspicion grew,I asked him how does he want to pay her he told me the lady said she would work for free. I started laughing,which girl on this island would want to work for free if you don't have anything to do with her.i started bombarding him with questions; If the girl is your friend's employee how did she know about your business?My husband said he has not talked to the lady since last year but he never knew I saw the messages.
I told him to give me his phone only to see that he has been exchanging Whatsapp calls and phone calls with her.i got angry and was asking him questions he took his bag and left that night.
That was when I confronted him about the messages I saw the week before only for him to say he doesn't owe me any explanation.
I am deeply hurt that he would want to employ a person he has a secret relationship with and has the mind to tell me about it.he deletes any conversation he has with this lady,he hides his phone and would never pick a call in my presents.
Pls how do you think I should handle this,I told him the only way I would ever listen to him is if he tell me where he went with that lady on that Saturday. Calling her sounds desperate and I don't like fighting my fellow lady because of a man.your opinion pls
In as much as your story sounds one sided, I will tell you what happened, from experience. You are probably the issue. Just listen. You are probably sex starving your man or engaged on a kind of behaviour that he could no longer tolerate and he at some point decided to give a fck about the girl next door. Did you see how easily you cracked all his jerks on that chic? He would have tried more on a cover up if he gave a damn about how you would feel.
I have a similar experience, I even left my phone when I knew I should have closed the page so it would lock automatically in less time. Expectedly, she stumbled into where the girl even sent her nude video to me on WhatsApp, wanking herself and saying she needs me. I didn't cheat though, but met one crazy ph girl that I bought drinks and went dirty chatting with her. Argument ensued and I told her I had no explanations. Honestly I wanted to leave and go chill somewhere like your man, but my woman was kinda wiser. Sensing there was a problem somewhere that perhaps emanated from her, she broke down crying. I told her how I was managing to remain celibate because of her low libido or something and couldn't bear it no longer. Fact checks: 1Your man unabashedly hooked up with his friends employee -an easy take 2He did not try more to hide it 3He had no apologies
Take this and ponder on it. Send him text that he should come home so you guys could discuss. Let him know you still love him. Take it from there.
Pls I need the attention of anyone that has an Italian post graduate certificate. My nephews Italian masters degree transcript was rejected by a UK university where he applied for PhD. The reason was that Thesis topic and score are not recorded no the transcript. He has written to the school in Italy and they told him that Italian post grad transcript doesn't have record Thesis and the graded awarded on it.
