dkidd: Not all who fail school exams are dumb and not all who passed in flying colours are smart. If U are anything close to being wise U will know that it's not all kids who has got the same gifts.
There's hardly any dumb person in reality some might be slow and others may be inclined towards other fields. But as Nigerians growing up everyone had to be very good in maths plus all the sciences to be classified as smart when in reality those who set the standards are the dumb ones. Know Ur child and their strengths, know where they naturally shine and steer them towards that part.
Not everyone will be good in maths and sometimes this is even due to wrong teaching patterns. Not all kids will do well in medicine or engineering. Some are gifted in arts and anything related while some also needs practical teachings and examples to really assimilate what is being taught.
I for one started out as a science student but switched to social sciences in my form 2 in secondary school. I loved biology but chemistry was too wide for me to grasp then and the teaching patterns weren't helpful. Physics was also interesting but I hated maths in short I dreaded it and in my ssce I managed to scale it after many tries but I excelled in every other subject.
It was an encounter with a Uniben professor during my preparation for jamb that opened my mind because of his teaching methods. Me that dreaded maths now fell in love with further mathematics. I found joy solving problems from it up to when I got into the university. I was the number one plug for calculus during exams. I fed almost an entire auditorium with solutions and no one failed but I always had a D but I didn't mind cos it was an elective course.
Even till now I'm still fascinated by derivation and permutations. It's always as easy as drinking water like my prof would say. Don't say he's dumb. No dumb person can succeed in the outside world. He probably had comprehension problems due to forces he couldn't control then or even understand.
You probably in the school of thought that academic success guarantees real success lol. Academic success is just a blueprint or road map for discipline. Real smartness is readiness for when opportunity comes and how prepared U are to take the wheels plus a lot more...
Excellent writeup.
Two key things he said: 1. Your positive attitude to life's experiences and character is extremely important 2. Who you know is far more valuable than what you know
Krismas: I don't think there is any need to further this exchange with you again. For one, U very ignorant. And If you feel so strong about it all, then go to Ukraine and help them secure all their collapsing fronts
See an ignorant russian orc who doesn't even comprehend his own arguments calling opinions he disagrees with as ignorant.
Education is important bro! Don't just follow blind emotions: the reasons you don't have any consistent objective standard for your judgements
Hecrax: Get your facts right the entire federal subject known as Kherson Oblast is 76% controlled by Russian forces just like the Zaporozhye Oblast as Oblast is a term in Post Soviet countries corresponding to the federal subject of a State e.g Edo State
As if your cognition is faulty
The fact that Ukrainian forces recaptured the city of Kherson and other areas on the north bank of the Dnipro River in November 2022?
Hecrax: Also you're confusing the Kharkiv operation which was successfully undertaken by the Ukrainian army with the withdrawal of of Russian army from the right bank of the Dneiper in Kherson Oblast as currently Ukrainian forces control 97% of Kharkiv Oblast excluding areas like Volchansk, Kupiansk also the withdrawal of Russian army from the right bank of the Dneiper doesn't change the fact that they control 76% of the entire federal subject known as Kherson Oblast which is over 20,000+km^2
And you think the Kursk operation wasn't also a tactical withdrawal after all Trump cut off military intelligence to Ukraine and Ukraine would have lost may lives had they held on to Kursk!!?
Krismas: Its simple. the way you put troops on the battlefield, is the way you maintain them there. Ukraine force people to the war, they have to force them to stay. While Russians use volunteers, who join the war to free Kursk from Ukraine. Kursk was actually used by Russia to get alot of young people willingly sign up for the war
Volunteers who steal from their own people most who are from the suburbs of Russia.
How much is Putin paying them again for their meat?
Krismas: Britain owns nothing in Nigeria. Ukraine was a part of USSR while Nigeria was a mere colony of Britain. There is a difference. Ukraine has more than 30% Russian population. How many Britons are in Nigeria?
Stand before the mirror and look at your mouth as you don't even have any objective standard for your judgement
Krismas: U are as dumb as Zelensky All you think about is land land land! While Putin is thinking about people people people! On all those lands live ethnic Russians.
1. Nazi killed 20million Russians. Russia will not permit Nazism on their border
The total population of Russia is 143.8 million as of 2023 and Ukrainians killed 20 million of them? Who else remain?
Krismas: 2. The so called nukes Ukraine gave up, never belong to Ukraine to begin with Belarus also gave up their Nukes. But why has Russia never attacked Belarus?
Because Belarus is a softer nut to crack after the annexation of Ukraine!
Krismas: 3. The promise is not necessary. Russia is duty bound to prevent it Why does America have nukes in Turkey and Germany?
Both are NATO countries , you forget!?
Belarus is currently hosting Russian Nukes, you forgot?
Krismas: Russia can nuke America and Europe out of existence. Even if you retaliate, you have already died. Is America ready to make such sacrifice for Ukraine? Stop talking in tongues. Be specific, WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF RUSSIA NUKE EUROPE AND AMERICA?
Boo hoo!
And every other country will just surrender and begin to begg Russia not to nuke them too?
Krismas: Russians are not nazis. Its a nazi strategy. U quoting Ukrainian sources unto Russian war practices? U must be a clown It is Ukraine who drag people unwilling to the front. Its Ukraine that will need to keep them in the front forcefully. Not Russia
All you need to do is to deny the information with evidence. You think Putin will come out to announce he has a death squad?
Krismas: Nuke is the last option. When all else fail. Right now, Russia still has a lot of options. But, whats the point having Nuke and not use it wen you are in trouble? Europe will burn b4 they believe Putin is not bluffing? Badluck to them
Krismas: Ur reply is meaningless. Europe shud stay off former USSR countries. France will not like it, should Russia begin to arm New Caledonia to defend themselves to the last man against France.
If Russia had been giving Ukraine arms, would they need inferior ammunition from NATO when Russia can supply them with state of the art weapons?
.did arming of Ukraine start after 2014 after the annexation of Cremia?
Krismas: Behind the lines of the Ukrainians are Zelensky's death squads. They shoot any Ukrainian who dare to turn back. So, cowards will stay and pray Russia accepts their white flag of surrender
Krismas: Putins aim is to 1. Denazify Ukraine 2. Demilitarize Ukraine 3. Ensure Ukraine never fall into the hands of NATO Zelensky's consent is irrelevant to Putin
1. If Ukraine is denazified, of what advantages is it to Russia or Putin? 2. If Ukraine is demilitarised, as they let go of their Nukes for fake guarantees from Russia, USA and France, is it that they may overrun them again.
Can you explain why Russia is militarizing Belarus with Nuclear weapons? 3. If Ukraine promises never to join NATO, will Putin restore back all the Ukrainian stolen lands?
Krismas: Ur reply is meaningless. Europe shud stay off former USSR countries. France will not like it, should Russia begin to arm New Caledonia to defend themselves to the last man against France.
By your fantastic argument, Britain should come an annex Nigeria shouldn't they?
Krismas: Warriors don't fight suicidally. Cowards do. Determination and firm resolve can never replace sound military strategy and skills. U cannot kidnap people off the streets and send them immediately to the front just to show you are determined or brave. You are merely determined to have those people slaughtered. Everything Ukraine is doing on the battle fronts, look to me like human sacrifice, which will certainly backfire.
Krismas: I don't care about Zelensky or Ukraine It was in Ukraine they forced a pregnant African woman off her seat on a train, to make room for a dog Zelensky does not own Crimea and Donbas. He should give them up as well as send away every Russian from Ukraine. Though Putin will prefer Zelensky continue fighting, so he will lose the entire Ukraine and destroy his military in the process
So the objective of Putin was just to un-alive Ukraine!?
Should Zelensky consent to this?
Would you consent to this objective if you were Ukrainian president?
Krismas: Zelensky only CHOOSE DEATH OF HIS FELLOW COUNTYMEN He should stop making speeches in bunkers, while forcing others to battlefronts. Nothing is wrong in fighting for what you believe. But STUPID sacrifice of lives, is UNACCEPTABLE. Ukrainian battle approach is WRONG. They not fighting correctly. Its not clear what you mean surrender to Russia. But if Zelensky had implemented the Minsk, Donbas would have been a part of Ukraine today. Many Ukrainian lives would have been saved The economy of Europe will never have slowed down. NO WAY RUSSIA WILL ALLOW UKRAINE OR ANY FORMER USSR TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE WEST
What alternative do you give Zelensky? Would he be given back Cremia and the four Ukrainian oblasts in Ukraine if Zelensky stop fighting?
Now that Zelensky is fighting back, has Putin achieved completely his objectives?
Krismas: Don't side step the argument. How will Britain feel if Russia starts providing arms and ammunition to Northern Ireland? Europeans who live in glass houses are the ones throwing stones? Believe all their LIES about freedom democracy and rule of law to your ruin
If Russia had been giving Ukraine arms, would they need inferior ammunition from NATO when Russia can supply them with state of the art weapons?
Does Russia intend to keep her small neighbours weak so that they can easily overrun them in 24 hours like they planned to do with Ukraine?
Krismas: Russia is prepared to stop former USSR members from joining NATO and ultimately attack NATO should these Europeans fail to mind their business. WW3 is what Russia is trying to prevent. But so be, if it can't be prevented
Are the former members of USSR the problem or NATO?
Isn't this a stupid tactic if your enemy is NATO but you are fighting to kill your small brothers?
Krismas: If Russia suffer heavy losses, then where are the graveyards? Don't u see Ukrainian graveyards? The Russians don't fight in a suicidal manner like Ukraine. Since Ukrainian troops couldn't penetrate Belgorod with Tanks, Zelensky told them to abandon Tanks and go in on foot! Which is more stupid than desperate. They are all going to die. Thats how Ukraine fight, like fools
You said: The Russians don't fight in a suicidal manner like Ukraine.
Meaning that Ukrainians are warriors who know what they are fighting for and would rather die than to let their families be enslaved forever by Russia.
Quelme: you still don't see how you are contradicting yourself oga.? If Russia has 900k, is the dead or the injure that are currently carrying out the SMO?
Since it seems you aren't willing to learn the difference between Kia and casualties, have this
[quote author=WriterNig post=134760764][/quote]If this is correct that the loss ratio is 909:43 meaning 21 Dead Ukrainian to 1 Dead Russian, the war should have been over in 3 days except something is not adding up.
Using this mathematics, if Russia has suffered a casualty figure of 900,000 since the beginning of the war, then the Ukrainian must have suffered at least 18,900,000 . How much is the total population of Ukraine self!!
Russian army is at least 12 times larger than the Ukrainian and they have a daily casualty figure of about 1200. So, do the maths!
