OtuologyProf:There's a time to be sly and there's a time to be blunt. In this domain of "nakology" (as you call it), bluntness is your best companion. It turns them into "deer in headlights" if you use it properly. But what do I know? ![]() Anyways, make sure to set yourself free from the claws of sensuality. One day you'd look back and realize you gained nothing. |
Why sneak to put off gen? Just calmly tell her you need to do other things and she should take her leave and (maybe) you'd like to receive her at another time. End of story. PS - the man who wants nothing in invincible. Casual sex is like tiny water droplets. Evaporates like it was never there. |
Huh? |
You guys don't understand simple things. Alice changed her name to Ruth after baptism during marriage counselling. |
turmacs:Lol. Just remember no one is invincible in this world. PS there is good number of single rich guys. If you're their type too, they'll notice you. |
The same way another madder lady will wrestle that rich guy away from your grasp. Then you will blame the guy. |
Slavery mentality. On the contrary, employees jointly pay the salary of their bosses. Without their input, the boss won't make money. Poor men enrich the rich people. Suppose all employees of a particular company stopped working for several months, with no none willing to replace them, the bosses will soon start looking for jobs themselves. The boss employed you because he believes you will contribute far more than what he would ever need to pay you as salary. |
Time travel is a phenomena suggested in different ways. One is to travel to another timeline in the universe. E.g. go back to a past timeline, or go forward into the future. (e.g. Terminator Movie). Another form is time dilation through space travel. For instance, it is theorized (Einstein) that if you travel at the speed of light for a few minutes, or through a wormhole, hundreds of years might have passed on earth! (e.g. Planet of Apes movie). Let's get into our story. At a time on earth, there was a great famine that shook the whole world. Rain ceased for several years. A congress was held, divination was made by the Ifa priest. A sacrifice must be made to Eledumare, the supreme being. But after being prepared, this sacrifice must be taken to heaven by someone. And that's the problem. It wasn't known if anybody who went to heaven could return back to this world, so nobody wants to carry the sacrifice. Just before all hope was lost, the Vulture volunteered himself. Although he hoped to return, if he didn't, he would have sacrificed himself too. So the vulture took the sacrifice to heaven - it took him 7 days to get to heaven and present the sacrifice, and another 7 days to travel back. All of the journey was in-between heaven/earth, in the void. The day he got back to earth, it was raining heavily and he was seriously beaten by rain. To his dismay, many things have changed, he could not locate his own house. He knocked on several doors, but everyone kept slapping him him on the head and pushing him out back into the rain - no one recognized him, they were disgusted seeing him, he was short, his feathers soaked, dripping wet. He eventually found himself at the palace. The King and Ifa priest were different people! When he explained himself, they realized he belonged to many generations ahead of that time. His journey of 14 days total was 1,400 years on earth! Apparently, every 1 day of his journey was 100 years on earth! His legend had been passed generations down, the one who took sacrifice to heaven and never returned. It started raining normally on earth since the day he started his journey into the void. Eledumare answered their prayers the day the vulture departed the earth, and it particularly rained heavily on the anniversary of that day of every year. Because of this sacrifice, the vulture is considered an untouchable bird in Yoruba culture. You don't kill the vulture. You don't eat the vulture. You don't do appeasement with the vulture. You don't sacrifice the vulture. The existence of this folktale suggests Africans were not all about religion, but had indigenous science in the past. |
Violence. Most people use what they see on TV to compare, forgetting those are the prettiest of them, along with special make-up on set. Just like you stay in a public place in Lagos, watching a lot of ladies passing by, all with different levels of beauty, same thing happens if it's a white dominated city. Nothing is special when you see many of them up close. Don't forget that beauty is mostly subjective. Two things that might turn off a black man from a white lady: * Their skin ages much faster, at 40, noticeable wrinkles around the eyes if you look closely. * When they're slim, hips/butt stay shy. Average weight and there's some belly fat, below the navel. Thick? Don't look at the belly! * The pale skin colour might look ghostly to you, with bluish/greenish veins underneath (for some). A white man on the other hand for a black lady: * Curvy hips, large butts and thick lips might look like a freakshow or caricature. * Subconsciously, dark skin might not be attractive because dark colours generally mask dirt. It's not racism but basic human psyche. * Voice. Black people have deeper voice in general. Many black ladies will sound masculine to a white man. |
Stating the obvious. Nigeria is not wired for unseating an incumbent president. The opposition lost the fight on May 29. But never say never, so let's see how it goes... |
Going to UK with 3 months baby - that man might not be able to do any full-time jobs for 2-3 years. Why? Crèches and nurseries are very expensive. If you decide to drop your baby and go to work, the money you'll pay at the crèche will almost match the money you'll make at work. So it's pointless. At 3 years you get 15 hours weekly free care. Staying in Nigeria with a 3 months old baby too is not any easy thing. The child will spend its early years in the hands of crèche carers, and will grow up not really knowing its mother. Besides, that seems like a young family, it's unhealthy to stay that far apart at the moment. Not to mention UK immigration laws might change before the man eventually decides to join her - it could get tough. They could travel to UK together, the man can take up night jobs a few times a week and/or do weekends, while the wife does day shift. The wife won't be at work 24/7 so they can find a way to work out their schedules. IkpemhiTG:£30k yearly is not bad for a small family, but with little contribution from the man doing part-time, they will do fine, provided they won't be living in London - that city is damn expensive, and busy like Lagos. |
LikeAking:Who are the "you guys"? Why do you think I'm one of "you guys"? Kindly clarify. Maybe that prejudice is not making you to see my point. LikeAking: |
LikeAking:Now I'm convinced you're unexposed. Do you know how costly it is to maintain a university? Did you know the meaning of the overhead I mentioned earlier? When you have understanding of those, you will see why total university autonomy in Nigeria will make you pay 7 digits for your education yearly. Don't even mention foreign exchange, you don't sound like you know anything about that. |
LikeAking:The private schools borrow your public lecturers to deliver quality teaching, the same lecturers who frustrate your efforts in govt uni. So this is the only point you picked out. Did you know Covenant University usually takes top 3 in Nigeria, dragging with UI and Unilag? Landmark is in top 10, while Babcock and Bowen are not far behind. Did you ever attend any university? Please talk like you did. You would know the challenges students face, and why private schools might be a better choice for some people. You should also find the meaning of the word "feeble", to understand what I said. |
compton11:It's a great responsibility then. Thanks for clarifying. |
Nonsense! The first thing you should know is that, when FG completely removes funding from its universities, students will pay a few millions yearly, maybe even higher than private universities because govt schools have huge overheads that private schools don't have. Second, the feeble standards of many govt universities will make people to switch to the private ones when the costs are within the same range. Third, students will look more into universities abroad with higher standards and better global rating - Ghana, South Africa, Egypt, Eastern Europe, etc. where their schooling is not as costly as UK, Canada and co. |
compton11:Hmmm. Good point sha. But it still comes to something. The rule is that you can have more than one wife, provided you can love them equally (correct if I'm wrong). I don't think any human being can truthfully love two people equally, not to talk of 3 or 4. So maybe that rule itself is being misinterpreted out of greed...? |
Chibuzoripob:Did you think it's coincidence that they ignored him all at the same time? |
Joe Biden has told him he's just wasting his time considering NATO membership. "It's premature to discuss Ukraine joining NATO now, not while it is at war". -Biden. Some challenges are there: 1. Tackle govt corruption 2. Strengthen the judiciary 3. Complete civilian control of all military. The above cannot be confirmed to be done until after like 5 successive civilian presidents have passed in Ukraine.NATO membership process could take Ukraine over 30 years even if they start it today. Prolificgiant:Zelensky just destroyed his country for nothing. Although he won a few battles, he lost the war the very day it started. |
Teetee777:What if you switch off the lights and it's completely dark? They wouldn't be seeing each other's unclothedness. |
₦500bn for 125 million people is just ₦4,000 per person. How many days will ₦4k food feed a person? But it won't even reach up to 10 million people. There are better ways to do things. |
You guys should stop exciting yourselves unnecessarily. Your thoughts or opinions don't matter in the case! The court would decide it and everyone will see. |
RIP She has gone to the real world. By faith we know we never die, but return to where we came from - the tangible reality, where the Lord Jesus awaits.. Incarnation is like a dream, hence this world is just like the Matrix in that movie. Humans in this world are like flowers that blossom at a time, and then wither away and disappear like they were never there before. It's a divine mystery. If you think there's no God, look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you're merely a meaningless accident. Now how does that feel? ![]() |
Sharpsharp00123:I won't insult you, lest I be like you. So if you have that info, you should know that in those days, your car loan would buy you a brand new car with change remaining - latest model, like saying 2023 car! Inflation affects every country - have you compared their inflation rates with that of Nigeria over the decades? Naira to US Dollars went from 67 kobo in 1973 to ₦765 in 2023. And you're here defending inflation in Nigeria. Do you know a minimum wage earner in the UK today can use loan to buy 2023 car without much sweat? You need to know what a working country should be like. And truth is, Nigeria was there once. |
Sharpsharp00123:What do you know? You're the kid here, kindly ask your grandparents what Nigeria was like in the 70s and early 80s. Or did you think Nigeria started in 1999? Your parents certainly retired after 1993. I'm talking about the time Peugeot 504 was 7k and Cressida was 5k. Corolla was like 4k. Did you even know Toyota once had a model called Cressida? Then later in 1988 after Naira suffered devaluation, Mercedes VBoot 230 was around 90k (brand new direct from factory). Which civil servant can afford a brand new Corolla today without stealing govt money? How much is the car loan govt is giving them today? Can it even buy Nigerian used 2008 Corolla? |
There was a time civil servants could afford tear rubber latest Toyota or Peugeot in this country. No stealing. Just pay your car loan over 2-4 years conveniently with like 20% of your monthly salary. Those vehicles worth over N20m today. |
Collapsed? The economy that has been in coma since 2017 or so. PMB put it on life support oxygen - external debts. Now BAT is using a defibrillator that takes in 110v on a high tension wire - CLEAR!We will soon know if he is actually resuscitating the economy or electrocuting it. |
Spread your tentacles please. Don't limit yourself to Nigeria, no matter how much you're making. Do you know how many businesses, factories and banks have folded up in Nigeria in the last 30 years? I'm sure they all thought "we're doing very well". My advice? Japa, but don't close down your business. They will chop your money oo, but Technology can help you monitor things from abroad and minimize that. Find a way to also start a business abroad, not just going from job to job. |
Nigerians had more sense 14 years ago! |
You did not even get the correct spellings of most of the names! |
Hollywood portray real life while porn portray the fantasies of men - just have sex without any inhibitions or care for your partner, or any sense of responsibility. But if you watch closely, you'd realise porn is actually boring. You watch the same thing (that you already know) for several minutes on different camera angles. There are educative sex films where true life partners volunteer to be recorded. Those are more beneficial if you really want to learn anything. |

what’s there to merry about? I like serious people
- CLEAR!
