TravelIndian Family Of 9 Swept Away By Raging Flood (Graphic Video) by ThierryJay(op): 6:07pm On Jul 03, 2024

An Indian family was reportedly picnicking after a wedding when they were caught by rushing floodwaters and swept away.

Of the 19 family members caught in the flooding, at least five are confirmed dead or missing, including four young children. The newlywed couple survived.

According to the footage, the nine family members stood together when the rushing waters caught them unawares and started sweeping them one at a time. Despite brave attempts by witnesses to rescue them with tree branches, their efforts sadly proved unsuccessful.

BRATISLAVA:
Does such devotion involve woman battery?

Why are you all so reluctant to call out the wickedness he did? So many excuses and diversions all in a bid to play ostrich.

Why are you all concerned about everything but his admission on domestic battery? Imagine if he killed her while beating her, you all would hold brief for him. Maybe you would say that women talk too much and make men beasts.

Maybe it would be a celebratory thread when he would've gotten remarried.

Well, good luck to him and his wife. Hopefully they will reconcile.
Hey, did you check my first comment at all? First thing I said was that he was wrong for beating his wife and should have reined in his emotions.

I also called out the wife because she was also domestically violent against him. She knelt on the back of his head on the bed suffocating him in the process. I bet you lot chose to ignore that part and you have the hypocritical nerve to say someone is playing ostrich.

Your last paragraph is the only part I align with.

Actually I'm pissed that he has to admit to that, dude should have kept quiet instead.
100%. In fact he shouldn't even have brought the family issue to the public in the first instance.

Apparently, his anger management issues got the better of him.

With all the projects and initiatives he is involved in with several reputable organizations, I really hope he comes out of this unscathed.

Blogs have carried the news sef. I think Jarus is under pressure to marry a second wife. What does he want again in another woman? He has three kids I think. What else does he want abeg? Whatever issues he has with his wife he should sort it out.
I saw how he praised and adorned his wife on Facebook. Dude doesn't joke with his family.

Na wa o! I feel for his wife sha. 😭😭😭
Several notable personalities in Nigeria have been polygamous without any issues and some are even Christians. Nobody asks them why they want another woman.

Jarus is a well-known devout Muslim. Not sure why anyone would question his decision to go polygamous.
FamilyRe: Popular Nairalander Sir Jarus Admits To Domestic Violence On Twitter by ThierryJay:
This is quite sad. Both Jarus and his wife are wrong.

Jarus should have resisted the temptation to beat her up regardless of his frustrations. Now his hard-earned reputation is at stake.

His wife is also wrong for attacking him physically by kneeling on his neck based on twitter narrations which is also domestic abuse. Also she should not have gone fetish on him with evidence all around in her room.

I'm also quite shocked at his naivety. How do you admit by own self to commit domestic abuse on twitter of all places? Even if you think your religion gives you a cover for that, silence would have been golden in such instance.

Jarus really fall hand. But it is hard to ignore his extremely positive and value adding contributions to Nigerian youths and the professional career and business space. I guess his massive social credit should give him some soft landing cos in the end this is just a stumble. It does not define the blessing he has been for over 15 years.

SportsRe: Mourinho Picks FC Barcelona Icon Messi Over Ronaldo As Best Of Generation by ThierryJay: 9:16am On Jun 14, 2024
OJEEMAH:
The bolded, What do you understand by “he was the best in our generation?”

At this age and time, nobody should be using “Ronaldo work hard(er)” to score points.

Messi is industrious cos talent is not enough. It’s one thing to be talented but maximizing your talent to reach your full potential is a different thing entirely.

If it wasn’t for hard work, his career would have been like Neymar and Hazard.

To be regarded as an elite free kick taker, Messi must have invested so much time and energy in practice cos he wasn’t really good at it when he started.

And also, it requires hard work to maintain standard for many years.

Back to your student analogy, gifted student reads. The major difference is, they have deeper understanding of a topic/course.

SportsRe: Messi Responds To Mbappé's Claim About Euros Vs World Cup by ThierryJay: 9:04am On Jun 14, 2024
Almiron:
you no go cry keh!!! Greece won the Euros, the first time Messi played against Penado's favorite team Estona, he scored 5 goals in that match
Your tears sweet I need more
Spot on bro. Holland, Denmark and Greece have won the Euros, but never good enough to win the World cup.

Big European teams like Germany, Portugal, France, Spain, Italy could not even make it out of WC Group stage at various times. This cannot happen in Euros.

European opposition in Group stage Euros are weaker. All dem Hungaries, Austria, Georgia, Finland, Armenia etc. These are countries that are not even good enough to make it to the WC.

When Messi played Estonia like you said, he scored 5 goals in that match something wey Pendu never even do before in all his years of bullying awoof European villages. Imagine if he were to be playing similar European minnows every season, he'd be on 300 international goals by now.

And lastly, ask any Pendulum that between Euros and WC, which of them would they prefer for their asun, it's a no-brainer.

All their shalaye is just out of spite. No evidence.

Barca beat Mourinho's Chelsea at Stamford Bridge 2 - 1 in 2006.

Barca beat Mourinho's Madrid again 2 - 0 at Bernabeu in UCL in 2010/2011.

The 9 year unbeaten claim is overrated and a cherry picked record.

siverspooon:
For me the two that comes close are
1 Mourinho
2 zidane

It took Ferguson his entire career to win just 2 champions League. It took gardiola more than 15years to win just 2. Mourinho too, don carlo almost his entire career to win 5. But it took zidane just less than 5years to win 3 back to back in modern day soccer that is not kike the time when Liverpool used to win it like drinking cup. I agree that it's easier to win it with real Madrid but what of Barcelona?
This brings me to Mourinho and why he is the all time best
Men 9 solid years unbeaten at home hmmm...
That's huge that requires maximum discipline
Pep spent 15 years to win 3 UCLs and not 2 as you claimed.

Within that 15 year span, Pep has won the highest total number of trophies than all the other coaches and with the most defined footballing philosophy. That's why he's the GOAT coach.

By the way, Barca beat Mourinho's Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in 2006, so don't get all the exaggerations about his 9 year unbeaten run.

Vocal range doesn't produce the best artists.
I agree with ur submission though in terms of vocal range

But her music isn't the total package.

I prefer Cher to her.
I prefer Dido to her
I prefer Amy McDonald to her.

She's just like MJ, but MJ isn't in my top 30 best male artists of all time.

Prince
Bono
Paul Simon
Neil Diamond
Bob Dylan
Bruce Springsteen
Tal Bachman
Brandon Flowers


All better than MJ



I think it's because of the scope of their lyrical abilities and music output( diversity) .


Nas, though still remains the greatest lyricist of all time ( of any music genre)


Respect to Whitney, but I'll take Lauryn Hill album over any Whitney album anyday anytime
Ah I see. I think I understand your pov better now.

Your faves operate mostly in niche genres which tends to spotlight their area of strength. This doesnt mean they are better. It's just your taste for lyrical wizardry that resonates them with you.

Whitney, MJ are mainstream and at the very top of the musical chain. I enjoy Whitney more though.

[quote author=blowjohn post=130292234][/quote]No disrespect to those you mentioned. They are all still below Whitney's level and aura. Have you listened to Whitney at all? If yes you wouldn't be comparing her to Kelly Clarkson (whom I love by the way especially with one of my favorite songs of all time "Breakaway"wink.

There will always be great vocal talents and I've listened to a fair share of them from Jessi J. to Sarah Ikumu, Morissette Amon, Dimash (the guy who can sing up to 7 octaves whistle notes (Mariah can reach only 5 or 6) ).

But if you talk about the total package: Vocal range, pitch, vocal control, vocal strength and power, soulfulness, vocal sweetness, diva-ness, name it, Whitney reigns supreme.

She is the female equivalent of MJ.
Music/RadioRe: Remembering The Life And Times Of Whitney Houston(Pictures & Video) by ThierryJay: 6:57pm On Jun 03, 2024
Whitney is regarded as the all-time benchmark for powerful vocals. The greatest vocalist of modern music.

Of the vocal trinity, Whitney, Celine and Mariah, Whitney remains unmatched. There is just something different about that voice, I can listen to it for hours on end.

If not for her ignorance, the dimensions were written there and she'd have known it was a miniature item...

43 cm length is about 16 inches which is just a little bigger than a long ruler. Next time, check specifications well before ordering. tongue
Even though your point is valid, she was still scammed based on the dimensions. The case is not even up to 43cm if you check where she held it and it was not as long as her hand (nobody's hands is 17 inches long).

So it's a scam, they sold a 20cm long suitcase (plus the handle) as 43cm.

Android17:
Pep copied Cryuff just as much as Doku can say Neymar is his footballing idol. Those who watch them keenly will know they don't play the same way AT all. I usually dismiss all those "Pep copied blah blah" as simplistic nonsense - depending on the context or who was saying it.

For the gazillionth time (not to you obviously), Pep does not play "possession" football or "total" football. He plays POSITIONAL football and he tweaks it every season. In fact, you can't watch Barca 2008-2012 and compare with this City if you are looking for similarities as you'd barely find it. People still have a hard time reconciling this truth.
I'm smiling as I read your comment because you are pulling me into where I didn't want to go; delving into the technical depths of Pep's style.

For sake of simplicity, I used possession football in generic terms to mean a dominant fluid style of play.

If we go into details, Pep's tiki-taka style of 2008 - 2012 and with the Bayern team is different from this current City style which has been tweaked to be more pragmatic and less one-dimensional.

In the end, I'd just say that Pep built on Cryuff's ideas, re-engineered and then owned it.
