In my primary school, I was popularly known as Figo and not because I play like him really but I had this fine Portugal jersey then with his name on it plus the number 7. I had good cross from the flank then.

Secondary, was known as vikimi. That name was given to me by my parents. How it got to the knowledge of my friends in school then, I don't know and that's still the name many people knows me with till now

It was an interesting and somehow entertaining read, but how it quickly degenerated to mud slinging was what I don't understand.

I guess everything went downhill from the "400k" comment

jceesquare:

Bro

Latest update from France if Djokovic doesn't get vaccinated now he will likely miss the French and US open too

Are you prepared for RG?

Ladyhippolyta88:
Why would the state grant him an exemption when they know the rules of the federal government?

Macon said he would be tough on the unvaccinated I doubt it, France would follow Austrailia's route too so it is advisable for them to get vaccinated and avoid this issue.

The federal government knew about the rule. It wasn't a rule created by tennis.


Let's see what France will do.

Ladyhippolyta88:
It was brought on the grounds that he was unvaccinated but government and border officials could bring up another reason which was the fact that he filled in incorrect details as regards his travel details to Spain in his immigration form which means he lied, the reason he won in court ok Monday was because they didn't follow the due processs when they cancelled his visa so he won on technicality.

The lawyer is right though, in terms of emergencies and in a public health emergency as the pandemic your right is limited and let's not kid ourselves there is nothing like absolute freedom/choice and your freedom/choice is not more important than another person's health and safety, Australians seem to like what their government did as regards the lockdown and Djokovic issue, they don't see it as their rights being lacking but a collective duty to end the pandemic they have one of the lowest death rates in the world and many have followed the guidelines and didn't complain so why should Djokovic come to another person's country and be flexing muscle?

You are not getting my point. You are still saying he lied. There's nothing like that in the case of the court. It's a narrative. Djokovic himself narrated what happened and the immigration office didn't say anything about "lying". His visa was canceled because of public unrest. Nothing like "lies" in all the statements made by the PM or the minister.

"they have one of the lowest death rates in the world and many have followed the guidelines and didn't complain". So a player that would be there just to play tennis, which movement will be limited, which would be tested before any match will cause death rate in the country? They have recorded a high rate of covid now and still its djokovic fault?

You are just looking it from one angle and it's glaring he was just used because of his status.

"why should Djokovic come to another person's country and be flexing muscle?"
He didn't create the exemption rule. He applied for an existing rule which was granted. If there was no rule like that, he will not come. He applied and was told to come. Not flexing any muscle. It's well known that he hasn't taken any vaccine and the people that granted him the visa also knows that he is unvaccinated. He followed the rule. I just told you what they did to other players who were given exemption prior to djoko arrival. See it from a political view and not because people don't like him.

Ladyhippolyta88:
When you go to Australia you follow their rules, the Tennis Association was at fault, he wasn't supposed to get a medical exemption and Australia requires vaccination before entry if only he had followed the rules he won't have embarrassed himself and been seen as arrogant.

If he doesn't get vaccinated soon same fate awaits him in the French open where Macron did not come to play with the unvaccinated

He was not the only one granted an exemption. The exemption is not a tennis law but from the government itself. There are some players granted an exemption and has even started training but since the arrival of djoko, they were deported.

And about France, they are still on the matter. The players are just there to play tennis not to live there or build a house. Play tennis and go. I'm sure it would be resolved especially after the way djokovic was treated in Australia

Ladyhippolyta88:
The reports state otherwise.

So who is lying? Hope you know that Australia has two routes you follow for a visa application? apart from his unvaccinated state border officials says he didn't meet up to every requirement he claimed to follow when he answered their questions online.You can pass the application online but can still be booted out by border officials

Anyway, the judges will release their written statements in full in the coming days so we will see

My point is, there's nothing like "lies" in the government's submission to the court. It was only "public interest". Personally, I knew that he won't win the government. Winning the first case is enough slap for them and lose the second one? They will find a way. If you watched the trial, both the government and djokovic's didn't say anything about lying or something. That was not the issue and was never the issue. The issue of lies came by when he was at an event in December which he was positive. Media used that to push the narrative he lied in his application to come into the country (you have to be isolated for 14 days before flying) which was not true. One of the government lawyers argued that "he may become an icon of free choice". It's not about any lie. It's about standing for your right in a country that lacks it.

Originalsly:
The guy informed them of his non vaccinated status. He was granted exemption... entry into the country and permission to play. When he got there the narrative changed.... the reason he went to court. Call him what you want.... the man has a backbone .... he is standing up for his right... and that is the main reason he lost .... because he will embolden others to do the same. Those who are criticizing him for taking a stand.... isn't it the same Rosa Parks did when she sat in the White Section of the bus and refused to get up?... the reason why today Blacks can sit anywhere in a a bus in the US?.... isn't it the same Kyrie Irving is doing?... unvaccinated and not playing basketball in matches held in States requiring vaccination?... is it not the same Muhammes Ali did?... not joining the Army to fight in Vietnam?... that cost him to lose the crown and banned from boxing for a few years? All these people have backbones.... too many spineless people in our society and we wonder why we are how we are today.

They painted the guy as if it was his fault the government gave a strict lockdown rule or he was the one that started covid. He didn't even say nobody shouldn't take the vaccine. He just stood for himself. If there is nothing like exemption, he will be enjoying his holiday. Man just wants to defend his title, not to be a political pawn

Ladyhippolyta88:
On his immigration form he was asked if he had travelled to another countryy within 14 days before wanting to visit Australia he travelled to Spain and lied about it.

That is the answer, read it up and stop asking silly questions if he hadn't lied that he didn't visit Spain he would not have been given the visa.

That was one of the grounds he had his visa cancelled since the English is too big for you let me break it down for you he got his Visa because he lied.

If it was because of that, it would be stated. The government said his visa was canceled because he might cause Civil unrest. Which means having an unvaccinated person in their country might make the citizens to start asking questions. It's rubbish. The immigration have checked all what you wrote here before giving a visa, he was given an exemption and he was not the only one. There are few tennis players that were given exemption as long as djokovic but they were deported the moment djokovic arrival caused uproar, did they lie also? . There's nothing like lying in his application. He followed the rules.

Please who knows a reliable rewire in ibadan? The remote of my car which was installed by a rewire is giving headache.

As seen on Twitter

Listening to the tales of an Abuja teacher in one of these rich schools.

Should I thread �?
Child to teacher: You broke and ugly teacher.

Teacher: how can you call anyone ugly when you look like this.

Parents: storms school to say their child was bullied by a teacher who lacked self-control

School: suspends teacher.

#AbujaTwitterCommunity
Child went around school harassing teachers that none of them should try him because none of them would have a salary without him.

School apologized to teacher behind the scene saying they have to pamper rich parents.

Teacher resigns.
2nd case:

14-year old sexually harasses male teacher. She goes to the teacher when he’s alone and pulls up her skirt (without panties)

Teacher reports to mgt.

Mgt: it’s because you didn’t comport yourself. These kids are from the UK/US where it’s normal.
#AbujaTwitterCommunity
3rd case:

Student comes to school with 200,000 naira to buy pizza on pizza day. The school had mandated that no child brings more than 5,000.

Teacher in a frenzy trying to call her parents to report the situation. Parents did not respond.
Student insists she didn’t steal it.
Other parents called the following day to say they gave their kids 50,000 but their kids felt inferior because someone brought 200,000.

Child’s father eventually responded to school’s call and said it’s part of the child’s allowance.

200,000 naira for �.
4th case:

School has a policy against mobile phones in school. Kids come with the latest iPhone all the same. Teacher has iPhone 6.

Parents storm the school the following day: we caught our 11-year old watching porn at home and we believe it’s because you didn’t do your job.

Teacher: excuse me?
Parents: yes, he said he downloaded porn in school and we believe that’s because you didn’t put a firewall on the school’s wifi to block out porn.

Teacher: we have a policy against phones in school.

Child: I hid the phone in my groin.


Teacher: we search their bags only. If we searched their groins,you’d sue us for harassment. Besides,apple protects a child from adult content when a phone is set up for a child. Did you discipline him?

Parents: No

Teacher: You saw him watching porn but did not address it?

Parents: erm…we decided to report it to you because you’re their mother in school.

Teacher: I’m a teacher to 47 children. I teach physics. I’m not the sex education teacher and I’m not their parent. You shouldn’t allow 12hours go by before disciplining a child less than 18.
Parents: dumbfounded.

Good afternoon. I got an admission from university of bradford on Nov 5 and the deadline for initial deposit is 23rd which I'm paying this week but I read somewhere that pof should also be more than 28days before the 23rd. I didn't see anything like that on the documents sent to me, I just want clarity on how and what to do

There is this colleague of my brother that is an American Citizen. Born in California and 63 years old. He's a retired Army (A senior officer). My brother spoke to him about helping me with relocating to America and he's ready to help. He said I should let him know when he needs to come in (to render assistance) but I don't know where to start from. Is it possible to apply for work visa directly or student visa? He's ready to stand as sponsor and write to all necessary offices. I just don't know where to start from. Please help!!!

Both phones weren't even released in Nigeria so how possible will it be if such actually existed?

Thought it would possible.

Is it possible to exchange a xiaomi phone with another in Nigeria? Even if to add more money to it. Feeling like exchanging my 10 ultra to 11 ultra

Philadelphia:
Very soon now, Honda go cost as people go dey rush Honda cars now because of these stats.

The way Honda is flooding my area nowadays ehn. I've seen more of Honda accord 2012 and 2014 this past 2 months like never before

HeavenlyBang:
1. Accord
3. Accord. Or 2012 Acura TL.

Thanks. I checked jiji to have an idea of the price of the acura. Nothing less than 5m for foreign used
What year of the accord are you recommending?

Hello bosses.
I've been following this thread for so long and I must commend the work you do here. I've learnt a lot. Thank you.

I have some questions. I'm asking some on behalf of somen of my colleagues and myself.

1. Honda accord 2014 and lexus es 350 2008, which will you recommend for a first timer and why? Fuel consumption not really necessary cause the aim is v6 engine.

2. With a budget of 4-5m,which car will you recommend? Driving, reliability, access to spare parts and all. Not really looking into Lexus es 350 2008 because is like water here and it meets all what is needed. If you have any other brand that can match up with the requirements. Maybe acura.

3. Will you advice a first timer to buy a luxury car or not? The budget is 4-5m.

Thank you sirs
