everywhere they go, excellence follows them. they have done and are still doing it for themselves,if nigeria refuse them to do it for her, they will do it to others. who loses?

I have Igbo friends, but they don’t talk like you. They are liberal and open minded. Ascribing someone’s achievement to tribe and not personal effort is crap.

nBag:
in as much as I condemn the threat to life. please let the matured the words "have no father" doesn't mean physical fathers he meant spiritual father.

And how does he know he has no spiritual father? The Bible teaches about the power of the tongue. A man in the pastor’s shoes should be mindful of what he says and exercise self control.

Why are they telling us. As a leader of the Christian fold, he should abide by the word of God. When you give, you don’t tell anyone.

Boyfriend or not, the truth is she isn't a virgin and Love Machine has genuinely suffered inside the deep wide aperture. Never trust trust a girl that verbalize she is being celibate. It's certainly the antithesis. Sex is sex, whether by penis insertion or diildo pumping.

What is wrong with you?

Op, how does a family sack a wife and mother? Sack!!!!!

If there were no abusers,then there'd have been no suppliers.
You'll are as complicit in the act as the people you blame.

If there’s no supply, the abuse will stop.

hAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE English men say this in movies interviews and what not?

Yes! I am fine thank you is a formal response. I’m doing great and others are informal. Let’s not create problems where there’s none.

dats why I said u smoke weed

Please stop being ignorant or at least use google.

kadiri3:
highest paid actor in hollywood?

Yes!!!!

She is probably speaking her heart. However, there are so many people who want to be worshipped by others for no achievement. A third rate actress will sleep with men to give her money. Then sponsor a movie where she is the producer, lead actress and probably The walka pass actress. No one watches the movies, yet she has money to spend. Or a guy who makes sure he looks super clean, spending money lavishly without any means of livelihood. Just so people can call him made. Live your life and forget about impressing others. Stop posting rubbish on Instagram. They should stop telling the whole world when they buy a new pair of shoes. There are so many busybodies looking for the business of others to mind. Stop helping them mind your business by putting it All out there.

kadiri3:
u smoke weed? highest paid for where?

Did you read the write up? He is the highest paid actor.

This government lacks initiative. We are talking about generating internal revenue, and they are destroying cannabis plantation. In this era of dwindling petrodollars, marijuana can become a primary forex earner. Rather than ban it, the government should seek a means to regulate it.
In these challenging times, weed is one of the few things that make people happy. We are not better than the US, Canada, or the Netherlands that control weed consumption. A plant that is useful in many industries including textile, energy, and medicine.

We are literally burning billions of dollars all in the name of forming sanctimonious in this fantastically corrupt country.

Was the guy growing medical Grade marijuana? Don’t we have enough lazy people in Kogi state without making things worse by enabling the use of Igbo? There is nothing else to farm abi? Have you been to Kogi state? Have you seen how undeveloped the state is?

rentAcock:
Sad. Another one who has chosen to flee instead of fight.
Another Ivy league educated scholar who could change Nigeria for the better has decided to switch sides.
This is very sad, she will be remembered as a loser
She gave up because she lacks foresight

Me and my household will never flee or beg the white man for visa, greecard or citizenship. We will continue to fight and do all we can for the betterment of this country.

You sound so noble, but ignorant. She still has her Nigerian citizenship. Having dual citizenship only gives her a wider and better platform to keep being relevant worldwide.

HantaVirus:
Fvck shit...These celebrities are getting paid to say they have it

You think the highest paid actor is being paid to say his entire family contracted the virus? Hmmmm!

While I agree that this is an aberration, I don’t think calling him names will solve his problems. Instead, let’s pray that God will reset his thinking faculties ASAP.

Minemrys:
read the guy's post again. It said igala kingd0m. Where is igala kingd0m again?

You tell me exactly where igalla kingdom is. Don’t live in ancient times please. By the way, I am igalla.

Sanchez01:
As at yesterday, Jeff Bezos net worth was $199.7 Billion. Today, his net worth is $204 billion, meaning he made $200 million in 24hrs; during a pandemic when the world has been halted and most businesses impacted.

Populism benefits the rich, no doubt. Amazon doesn't give warehouse workers paid sick leave. Cost for 2 weeks sick leave: $480M, or 0.6% of fortune Bezos added this year. It cut $2/hour hazard pay. Cost: $140M/month, 0.2% of fortune added.

A disturbing trend is the the federal reserve, which sets the precedence of inflated stock market prices, and account for most of Jeff Bezos' wealth. Abolishing this will beat down inflated stock market prices and prevent this grotesque figure. Getting wealthier during a pandemic looks like something that is realistic only in sci-fis.

This backs my concern...

It makes absolute sense that when people can not shop physically, but have to go online for practically everything, online shops will make incredible profit. People shopped for food, furniture, medicine ... online.

Nothing is wrong...at all. They are two consenting adults

If you give your consent that I should kill you, I will still be tried for murder if I go through with it. Consent does not negate the wrong.

Arrewa:
Rest in peace strong man!

Igala kingdom is among the top 5 strongest kingdom in Nigeria.

Strongest in infrastructures, good roads, basic amenities? You are talking about one of the most backward and underdeveloped parts of Nigeria. The only thing the igallas had was a fantastic upbringing. However, that has been lost as quite a number of igallas that move to the cities these days behave in barbaric and uncouth ways.

Golan007:
What an excellent opportunity for the often boastful FFK to tell the world how he makes an income but alas, he blew it.


All FFK could say was that he's an ex minister.

I guess he means to say he has stolen quite a sum because we all know he's held no job for about 6 years now.


It is also well known in government circles that FFK is a corporate beggar.

He goes from governor to governor without a proposal but to laud them and sometimes sell them a pity story of how the federal government has been frustrating his business ideas.

One often wonders what those ideas are.

Rumor mongers!!!! You come to a faceless and nameless forum to tout your baseless allegations. Has he ever begged you for money? Do you have any evidence to substantiate your hateful claims? Please stop the rubbish!!

backnbeta:
In the politics section? I guess this is politically motivated, it's the handiwork of the opposition


But seriously, let's treat our helps right. I know some of them are wicked regardless of how nice you are to them; but the 'bosslady' sounds like she's shown that 'servant' hell in the past


Move to family section, OP

The boss lady sounds appropriately angry and shocked. Who on earth will believe someone so young can be so wicked.

Susu888:
As culturally noble as it sound to some( to me its ass licking!!!) ......Why can't we insult our elected leaders?
No one forced them to run for office! Its a package deal that comes with being a politician . If they don't like it let them get the fvck out..

Nd wht next after this? We will be prohibited from critising our elected leaders?
Seems like we r becoming more like china ...

Why must you insult anyone? Can’t you state your Grievance without insults?

femi4:
Expressions like 8÷2(2+2) is absurdly contrived. No mathematician will write something obviously ambiguous without introducing parenthesis/OF to indicate what operator comes first between division and multiplication @ 8÷2*4

Well defined expression includes:
8 ÷ 2 OF (2+2)

(8÷2)(2+2)

8÷(2(2+2))

Where on earth did you learn mathematics? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the problem.

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


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.

Tell the guy immediately. If you were being scammed, you’d want to be told.

femi4:
you still don't get it

WHATS THERE TO GET? Let me explain PEMDAS to you.
You solve whatever problem is in parentheses first.
Next, you solve exponential problems if there are any.
Then solve multiplication or division whichever comes first. I know that most people think you always solve multiplication first because M comes before D in the acronym, but that is not true. If the division problem comes before the multiplication problem, and neither is in parentheses, you solve the division problem first and vice versa.
Finally, you solve addition or subtraction whichever comes first.
The reason people keep on getting different answers is because they would Solve multiplication before division always or solve addition before subtraction always.

femi4:
Sure. The expression is actually ambiguous in defining the next operation

Not really. Unless stated otherwise, one should use PEMDAS to solve such problems.

femi4:
You will not understand, based on the question

PEMDAS is an acronym for the words parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. For any expression, all exponents should be simplified first, followed by multiplication and division from left to right and, finally, addition and subtraction from left to right

Whatever is in the parentheses gets solved first.

femi4:
you are wrong.
2(2+2) is the same as 2 OF (2+2)

So 8÷ 2(2+2) is the same as 8 ÷ 2 OF (2+2)

1. You can't do DIVISION before OF according to BODMAS ( note that ORDER is not applicable here). Hence ,Bracket OF instead of Bracket ORDER

2 Also, MULTIPLICATION comes before DIVISION in PEMDAS

3. The major operator of the expression is DIvision according to the bracket since
(8÷2)(2+2) is not the same as 8÷ 2(2+2)

This so wrong. PEMDAS means parentheses, exponents, multiplication or division whichever comes first and finally addition or subtraction whichever comes first.

Lightangel65:
Shut, shut, shut up. Every lady has good and bad guys comming her way, thers is always a choice who to follow if you make the wrong one all roads to shiloh.

As for you if you don pass 25, Sorry o you don expire so shift

I just read the conversation here and I’m so glad you wrote about choices. Everyone has a choice. The ones who rejected you exercised their rights. Some have moved on and are married to men they chose. Some have moved on and are living their lives; single and satisfied. Others are married or single and living unhappy and unfulfilled lives. Stop sounding so bitter and focus on living your own life instead of expecting ladies to fit in with your very narrow minded assumptions of how they should live.
