Ajebutter

Am sure she has a job waiting for her already.

According to the use of that word, she looks rather rundown. No offense, but they don't look like a very moneyed set of people in the family picture. They look like something I'd rather not describe.

The tag doesn't fit.

kennybelle:
she did the right thing rejecting the offer, but should have been in a polite manner

Was he doing it for thanks?

Peoples sense of entitlement is bizarre. She had to thank him politely? Did she beg him to stop for her? Did she flag him down? Or he came of his own accord unwanted?

Some men reason quite stupidly. Your post was alright until you decided to support the ridiculous opinion, doubt from one of such men, that the fellow had to be thanked "politely".

Reading comments on this site has helped many of us understand that majority of the men in Nigeria reason in shallow spoons.

tensazangetsu20:
It's my own experiences trying to raise money from VCs, incubators and accelerators.

Okay.

Despite your topic, do you feel your choice of startup affects the manner in which all of the above three you've mentioned interact with you? Or is it widespread and your experiences can be taken as a rule of thumb in all ventures?

Are you a venture capitalist or are these your experiences as a start up? It's a bit unclear sometimes.

This is quite interesting.

A. Must have multiple founders? Ideally two is good. I don't know how many you mean by multiple, but the numbers just indicate reliability. An individual can fail but if there are two they will be less likely to. Once the numbers exceed four there will be the counterproductive fighting you mentioned. With too many founders they eventually cull themselves, but at the ventures loss? Depends.

B. The team has to be the most difficult part. Can one include the founders in this? Worst thing is having something about on wheels then the team part messes it up.

D. This is natural. I cannot commit to something that comes my way just because it sounds good. Bad for the startup.

It would be nice if you could share more of your experiences. It can be educative for others willing to go this way.

Jethrolite:
I remember playing the first installment of the game and following from Ares making him his assassin to watching Ares becoming his arch enemy.

My best console game ever, actually it's the only game I play on console.

Absolutely.

His change from Ares' lapdog into the guy who makes that guy drop is cool. There's nothing like playing to the point where you destroy Zeus himself.

Great game, it's something I revisit from time to time. I'm not really interested in the newer games.

Okeez:
It's not about getting a new one, it's about the bond you know

Can't a new bond be forged with a new puppy? The dog will still die in about four to five years

The fact that she doesn't have $3000 indicates that it's a waste to be spent on a dog. In her country people still would value such an amount of money, for example a cold hungry hobo would.

Some animal bonds just aren't sensible.

Jethrolite:
Kratos is definitely the true definition of a game character with too much strength. Even his normal moves are just insane and the brutality with which he kills gods, living statues and titans.

I remeber the first time I fought this boss, I was ehen? Make una come see new ruthless game o. The guy de kill anything. That should be 2005/06.

The best thing about Kratos is his brutality. Then, of course, his god- killing ability.

In fact, his humanity in the whole thing is ridiculous given all the characters he has killed. But I guess that's what endears us to him, being given the power to kill gods.

Vasaratti16:
Dante - Devil May Cry
In fairness, Dante is the son of a demon, so it's none too surprising that he's shown to be an absolute beast throughout his tenure in the Devil May Cry games.

That said, the original franchise did occasionally show him getting into a spot of bother, something which was completely thrown out the window in the decidedly more casual-friendly 2013 reboot, DmC. Compared to the insane difficulty of, say, Devil May Cry 3, DmC was a decidedly more streamlined game, allowing Dante to make short work of pretty much any enemy on the normal Devil Hunter mode, while even the more challenging Dante Must Die mode feels significantly nerfed compared to the same mode in the previous games.

Thoughplaying as Dante is still fun to a point, when a game is just too easy, it reduces the thrill, as it's easy enough to just coast through without having to pay too much attention or get too immersed in what's taking place on screen.

A little vulnerability endears us more to characters most of the time, and that's something the new Dante is totally lacking.

DMC 3 is a game worth remembering. Best game for its time. The details are memorable.

Yeah, Dante is kind of OPed, but as you said, he's the son of a Hellspawn. The cockiness of the character was annoying, though

YelloweWest:
At what age should a woman abandon her child and go back looking for money?
Motherhood is the hardest job in the world and no one is paid for it.

A woman who for goes everything to stay back at home and raise her children until they are well groomed is a great asset!

My pastors brother is married to a white British lady. Well educated. However she is the sole bread winner.

When asked she said she is willing to manage what ever her husband is earning until their child is 12! This is a woman who had a career! he gave it up to be a mother.

In the West mothers are held in high esteem and respected it is only here where a housewife is seen as lazy...

I'm not a housewife but I don't criticize those who are. Nanny cannot raise a child like the mother.

This is a case of Nigerians trying to be more westernized than the West.

Out in the West men try as much as possible to have a house wife, because she will take care of her kids properly. Unless they both agree they need money or that she should pursue her career. Sometimes if she is ambitious the man will become a house husband, and believe me, he cannot work once he's taking care of that child.

But by Nigerian logic he should be able to take care of the child and bring the wife money to show that he is important in the Union, while all she has to do is go to work, have drinks after work before coming back to run a finger along surfaces to know if such a man did his duties as a good house husband.

Nigerians want a robot or dog, not wives. They want her to bring them money and do everything, while they just bring money without doing anything. That is the Nigerian definition of equality between the genders. It means that a woman will fulfill all her responsibilities in addition to bringing money while the man only brings in money. He has no responsibility outside that. If she takes her job seriously he begins to get jealous or accuse her of being incapable of being a good robot.

A very wrong understanding of sustainability in marriage.

The wrong things you see here are reflective of very damaged single men who will eventually look for dogs or robots to marry.

GrammarNazi1:
Some of them even abuse you when you correct them. They don't want to improve.

"English is not my mother tongue."

"English is a borrowed language."

But if you dare speak their own language badly...

Intelligent people tend to take correction. Although I must say that I thoroughly enjoy your interactions with Kim.

GrammarNazi1:
Wrong. You need to take your drugs. Your grammar is appalling.

Don't try correcting Nigerians. It's an advice. An hospital. An hotel. A pigs. A cats. Some mens etc.

A staffs. An bits of brain. A cheese. An bite.

Imagine "an" advice.

Blackbelly:
5:30pm met Scofield outside on his favorite perch, a small tree by the side of my house. He climbed to the top and was visibly excited by the evening breeze. He was both preening and making random chirps at the same time. I felt a little bit of concern about his excitement as I have known him to attempt flight when he’s very excited but I shrugged it off as I thought to myself “he can only fly a few feet at a time, after all he has only three fully grown primary flight feathers and he’ll need at least five of those to go a considerable extent”. My second reason for allowing him remain at that spot was to study his reaction as night falls, if he’ll make any attempt to fly towards the veranda, an attempt I would have considered a significant step in allowing him keep his flight feathers so long as he knew the location of his home.

As a precaution, I sat at a spot in the veranda where I could easily monitor his activity in order to mitigate the risks involved. Every few minutes, I would raise up my head from reading a thread on Nairaland and holla at him just to reassure him that I was nearby, he would whistle back at me and continue his preening business. Few seconds later, I raised up my head to check on him only to see empty branches. My heart skipped a beat as I quickly stood up from where I sat to have a proper look at the tree and alas he was not there. I bolted like a crazy fellow out of the veranda to check what had happened to my ‘boy’ and I was greeted with intense jabs and upper cuts by my worst fears.

Oh no, you didn't trim his feathers again. I was looking forward to diary entries on that.

The strange thing about losing a pet is that when it is gone you are more aware of its absence. There's a strange feeling of nothing where something once was.

Best of luck getting a replacement. I can't believe he went just like that. You were too​ liberal. You trusted. I think the only kind of pet I can keep is a dog, because a dog will always return home. The other ones are with you for the benefits. Once they see freedom they go.

But sometimes, they say of the things that you love the most, if you love them then let them go.

LordsApostle:
exactly my point, I hear things like. "an hospital, an Hotel, an handbook... And I'm like WTF, is it that I don't know English no more... What is happening

Especially here on nairaland everything is "an". Eg. OP is just an useless piece of s**t. An husband is beating a wife and he is supporting it. Even an hotel staffs know it.

Terrible!


Just like when they use "a" for an uncountable thing. Eg. He was just giving a advice. WTH.

Let's not talk about the use of other abominations such as pluralizing singular words. In above example of "an" the person could equally say, OP is just an useless piece of s***ts. I was giving some advices. Even an hotel staffs know it.

Goodness!

Instead of make up products it's "women apply too much makeups". What is the pluralization for?

Nigerians butcher English each time they communicate.

"small doctor"

OK. Whatever that means.

Sisijetue:
Wakanda over sized slippers is ds?

Lol.

It's so that Nigerians will say he is simple.

KendrickAyomide:
i don't have a problem with his fashion. i only have a problem with the fools that always like comparing. The fact that he is simple and rich does not mean we the normal people cannot drip in the latest designer we can afford . everybody qet e own life style. he chose to be simple.

That person you quoted is myopic.

He dresses to fool people like that, but he has expensive trips, meals and even bought up the whole street where he lives so that he won't have any neighbors! If that's not arrogance, then that must be simplicity at its best according to that sort of person.

We're all tired of the boring gray shirts. Now it's blue ones, like we don't know he dresses up elsewhere. Who knows the cost of what he's wearing? If he buys a $20 shirt from an exclusive store at $2,000, what do they know?

A boring nerd who somehow stumbled on millions is now the logo for how to dress. He can't even keep his body neat. He looks smelly. Try that around these people screaming simplicity. Wear a t-shirt to a corporate environment and watch their reaction.

Enjoyed his shows, but what would make a successful man like himself take his own life?

Frustration at what? Or was he bipolar?

Enjoyed his shows

okwabayi:
Here we go again: awon attack the poster with the highest likes, whether my response makes sense or not.

I mentioned witchcraft because we all know where Nigerian minds go. My comment -- starting with possible medical conditions -- was to cut off every mention of witchcraft which may come later. It is the reason the comment has a lot of likes.

You assume a lot of things.

Firstly​, witchcraft. Then, that you're called out because of something as petty as likes. Do the likes pay you? Because you take them too seriously.

You were mentioned simply because the part about witchcraft was just stupid. It's not that complicated, really.

okwabayi:
Late stage undiagnosed cancer maybe? Blunt force trauma to her abdomen? Internal bleeding from an infection or earlier mentioned blunt force trauma? High intra-abdominal pressure? A ruptured internal organ? All my guesses are only layman's. I'm sure a trained doctor will give even more detailed ones.

1,001 reasons exist for this so nobody should come here mentioning witchcraft.

You're the first person to mention witchcraft. Why did you have to?

Gangsterism in its ugliness

MrBrownJay1:
the fact that she was in possession of stolen goods is enough to get her arrested.



true, but then again you return the phone immediately... its a thief (who couldnt use the phone due to Icloud) that would return it a few weeks later.



"punish" someone for leaving their phone unattended by asking for a 50K ransom?! are you serious?! and you think that should be described as what (if not theft plus extortion)?!



does it make such crime less of a crime?! a thief is a thief... whatever the reason they steal is irrelevant, and they need to get punished for their actions.



if she had retruned the phone that same hr, yes probably.... but after few weeks?! hell NO! send this criminal to jail so she learns from her thieving mistakes.



its called CONSEQUENCES OF HER ILL ACTIONS....everybody should be accountable for what they choose to do. if she could stomach to steal a phone, then let her stomach the bloody disgrace, OR better yet, never think of taking something that aint hers in the future.

Do you mind that apologist rationalising theft?

So as a thief she deserves pity and not punishment by the law? People like that apologist are the reason why there are still so many thieves on the loose. Without law where is the order?

Who jokingly demands ransom after taking a phone several weeks earlier, if not a thief? Joke indeed.

So what is wonderful about this throw back?

Mustay:
This one that there's resistance to executions. This Malay may be proving tough guy now but whoever kills has that trauma in him. [/b]The security guys face this too. Except the person is crazy upstairs, there's no way they won't have the feeling. Even this robot, who will set it up? Who'll press the command button? There comes the ethical questions. Assisted death appears easier but someone is administering the injection, activating the electric chair or whatever poison is used to kill.

This is where you are wrong in assuming.

If you are uncomfortable with it, doesn't mean others are.

Plus in the event that there will be robots for executing criminals, don't you think it will be sensor controlled? Somebody will simply switch the on button and go about their daily life. Besides, the morality of a human executioner is justified

slysteel:
You wey dey write for Queens English how much dey your account? Nigerian judgemental freaks

You're the judgemental freak.

Has horrible English given you any money? Wait, how is this about money anyway? Get out of Nigeria and free yourself from that mentality that money equates everything. Go and see.

You're the kind who will do what Bob does provided you make money. Broke people can do anything for money and it's always about money to them. When you don't have money you see everything as a challenge about money.

Waiting for the reply that you have millions because of paupers English.

kimbraa:
His spoken English is worse.

Wait.

People actually listen to that? Lol.

The before pics

His industry is wicked. He, apparently, went to school and yet has never posted sensibly in a literate manner.

The attention given it though. Male Barbie? Look at that Alvarez Rodrigo guy. One thing in common: Vugly.

hokafor:
To cut the long story short blacks are very wicked.just because you are feeding someone you turn them to slaves.

Don't Asians do this as well?

It's always about blacks to Black people. Blacks are horrible. If you were called greens I'm sure you would find a way to make Greens the wicked ones, just the way you've made anything Black evil.

pocohantas:
True...
Domestic violence is all about power.
People will only abuse who they're stronger than.
Men will abuse their wives, the wives will abuse the maid, the maid will abuse the kids. It's a vicious cycle.

I strongly believe that, any home where the wife abuses the maid without the man doing anything about it...other forms of abuse are going on.

Sadly, no one to fight for these kids.

You don't understand.

The abused become abusers.

You think these women were never house girls themselves?

It's a cycle and it will never end.

Phut:
The OP is being very uncharitable to his mother. His Mom is not working, not because she is a born again, but because she had a nervous breakdown and other mental health issues. The OP seeks to minimize her health problems by putting things off on her born again status.

OP’s mother used to be a hair dresser and supported the whole family, including the OP’s father. OP’s mother had a breakdown and ends up getting ensnared by a pastor who convinces her that hair dressing is not a godly profession. OP’s father promptly married another woman and is not taking care of his children.

OP does not seem to see this and for some strange reason, all his animus seems to be directed at the mother. Read his old thread: “What is wrong with my mother”

My advise to OP is to move out, while still helping in any little way he can. However, it is very important that he gets the right perspective, otherwise he might end up hating his Mom who was just as much a victim as himself

I've just looked through his threads and you are right.

He's not realizing his problems are from the fat Rick Ross stepmother he now has. No, he blames his mother. His father has absconded responsibilities because he has a new family, but on this thread he makes it appear as though the man is still there but his mother isn't working because she just does not want to.

The reason he is the breadwinner is because his father bailed out on them and he is too cowardly to accept that so he blames his mother and says a lot of nasty things about her online. Can't he man up and tell his father to take care of his siblings rather than abusing his mother, who appears to be under some mental strain, and naming her as the cause of the family problems?

Horrible child.

If his mother is experiencing health issues he should take her to the hospital so that she will get better and be able to work again. Instead he's online blaming her while his father who is the real cause of the problem is living with this stepmother of his.

Bro code with his father even when the problem is from his father.

Very true. I've seen someone who sold company info to other people. Hard copies.

But if your information was online then definitely people will have access to it. As a rule, once your valuables are digital they can be accessed at any time and by anyone.
