Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Nigeria’s Unemployment Rate Rises To 27.1% - NBS by sonofthunder: 11:30am On Aug 14, 2020
Fokosobo:
They are talking about increament. Actually the percentage of the unemployed in the country is far more higher than that. Lets say the initial value was X, now we have X + 27.1%
This is a wrong interpretation sir. Even if you didn't read the news, you can see where the topic says "rises to".
Romance › Re: Do I Tell My American Patient He's Being Scammed By A Nigerian Romance Scammer? by sonofthunder: 11:10pm On Aug 13, 2020
ALEX182:
So I have this American patient who I recently came across. He's a fat dude who is like in his late 40s but has a very jolly and likeable character. I introduced myself and we got talking afterwards.

After a while of chitchat, he asked me where I was from. I told him to take a guess and he said said, you sound like you're Nigerian. I told him (regrettably) that I was Nigerian. He started smiling and told me that he had a Nigerian girlfriend and that we both had similar accents.

He then started telling me recent occurrences that had befallen his girlfriend in Nigeria. He said the lastest story was that she was in Abuja and as she was on her way to the airport in a taxi, the taxi had an accident and she was seriously injured and had to be rushed to the hospital. He said that the hospital demanded money before treatment started and he had to hustle about $4000 and send to her in order for treatment to start.

He said that after a week of her being in the hospital, they wanted to discharge her despite her still being in pain. Because she had exhausted all the $4000 on treatment, he said the hospital had threatened to discharge her on the streets and he was trying to borrow more money to see if he could send it to her so they could continue with her treatments.

He furthermore told me that the girlfriend said that she was a Nigerian American citizen who was currently stuck in Nigeria due to her passport having expired and also due to Covid lockdown at airports in Nigeria. He said she had asked him for $300 to renew her US passport from American embassy in Nigeria.

Another thing that he told me was that just before covid struck, there was a similar pandemic which happened in Nigeria early this year and that his girlfriend had contracted the disease and he had to send her $2000 for treatment. Right now he said he's broke but is waiting for like $2000 disability check from the US government next week which he will send to her as soon as the money clears.

As he was telling me this tale, I was so angry with Nigerians and how they take advantage of people in love to scam them. I wanted to swear for the scammers angry


I'm at a dilemma here. Do I tell him that he's being scammed by Nigerians or do I continue to be professional and just ignore it. Because I don't want him to think I'm involved with it because these oyinbo people can turn everything on your head and accuse you that is your people in conjunction with you that are scamming him. They are that crazy.

The good part of me wants to help him but I'm hesitant that it may turn out bad for me. Please matured responses.
Please tell him, but with wisdom. God bless you sir!!!
Christianity Etc › Re: Bring Back Our Jesusjnr by sonofthunder: 8:23am On Aug 13, 2020
jesusjnr2020:
The myth of fools that jesusjnr needs NL to survive, jesusjnr would commit suicide without NL, jesusjnr has no life outside of NL, jesusjnr suffers depression and uses NL to battle this disorder, and so numb and so dumb has been busted.

jesusjnr voluntarily left NL for close to 6 months (could have decided not to deactivate in accordance to the terms of the deal if his life actually depended on NL as only fools could have possibly thought, but he kept to the terms), and yet nothing happened to jesusjnr, but he came back better than ever exposing the foolishness and ignorance of atheism and the atheists of NL as the fool who posted this figment of his imagination.

Perhaps it's a blessing in disguise that jesusjnr left NL because otherwise they'd still have that straw to clutch at, because if anything has been proven hence, it's that the fools are actually the ones suffering from everything they accuse me of including those shown in this thread, because they're the ones that have proven cannot do without the religion section of NL, even though all they do here is to be spreading their foolishness and ignorance in the section despite claiming to be atheists.

They obviously can't live without the religion section of NL. If an atheism section was made in NL and they were sent packing from the religion section of NL, they'd die of boredom leaving them by themselves alone. Some would even become religious by force and claim to have repented just to escape the boredom of the atheist section.

Religion is the air they survive on, yet they claim God doesn't exist. What an irony!
Lol.... We have been screaming this for years. I still want seun to create a section for atheists just like he did for Muslims. They deserve to have a part in the 'land'.

Claiming you are sorry or have learnt your lesson doesn't mean that that is the case. Do you think it is right/wrong to gamble? And why? If you are, why are you sorry for your actions? Your answers to the above will prove to yourself and all that you've changed else any assistance you receive will amount to nothing in the long run.

Am so confused and depressed right now, Am a level 3 student in the Uni.

I was supposed to pay my fee by March but due to some remita network prob i decided to just generate remita and pay anytime I have network. Like play fa I re move 5K from the 47K to play a weekend matches hoping to get at least 20K to help me solve some side issues coz place hard and that was how my 5K disappeared.
During the 2 weeks strike before corona I remove 7K to play again this time just to get 15K to top up and pay the fee but it didn't come again.

Gradually I became restless and start playing to recover back my 47K but couldn't. Early MAY my account was Empty, i searched for work to at least save something before school resume but no job.

Now I heard school will resume September, I can't eat anything comfortably, so confused.
Pls guys Help a Depressed Soul.

Which help do you need? Words of advise, a job or money to use in 'gambling' back your losses?

If only he had worked diligently, honestly utilising just 50% of the states resources to better his people and their environment, the mentioned governor would not be running around aimlessly. His people would be solidly behind him. But no, they all weild power as a right and not as a priviledge.

Although I sometimes use the nose mask, I doubt its efficacy as I feel any droplets housing Covid-19 that rests on a mask can easily get into the body through the mouth and nose.... N95 masks would be much better to offer protection.

I don't need to ask the poster. In places whereby I have come across references from the book of Jude, op has done no different from how it is written.

There is no jude 7 in the Bible.

Na cut-and-paste work be your own kind of Christian "teaching"? Na wa oo!
I hope that you are at least ready for the consequences of occupying Jesus Christ's seat in the hearts of His own, when the time comes for you.
Jude verse 7 not chapter or is it lacking in the bible? Also he referenced where he got his materials from so I don't understand your mockery. OP has many original threads and posts that are far intellectually superior to what you have in your mention that will challenge your understanding of simple philosophies so drop your arrogance. It seems like you've encountered him before or your are simply transferring aggression/emotions from another issue.

That's not what we are discussing sir. Was just clearing out a misconception. The issue of backwardness and the cause or failure of certain leadership is another discussion entirely.

Understand what you quoted, he only claimed his area was the most backwards and not that projects weren't proposed or executed there. I have lived in that part of Edo before and they are generally backwards in terms of development. This is not an issue of Oshiomole, Obaseki, or Iyamu.
