Judging by the way women are blamed for everything on this platform, I'm not really surprised.

Loverofpeace:
Not really,it is not in the nature of the black man to study books,it will make the group boring,even you seff no like book talk true,our aim is to groom future leaders that will restore Ancient Egypt (African world power)in this modern era,kokori Kori kush will never die.

If you don't like studying, why are you in the school? How do you plan to change things without knowledge? Knowledge gave the white man the privilege they had over you, not some group. A typical black man in the US does not know how the world works. He doesn't understand the concept of finance, advanced science, etc. They keep giving the excuse, the black man does not like to read. You don't like to read and this leaves you at the mercy of the white man. And you want to keep living like that while expecting a change? Dude, people who say Knowledge is power ain't exactly drunk. The Egyptians you made reference to had knowledge. What kind of superiority are you seeking when you don't know a thing about science? Physical superiority? There's simply no other agenda you can possibly give to your group that will make you superior or even seem superior, and when you realize you aren't making any progress, you'd likely turn violent or, at least, get tempted to try "other means" which could easily get you into trouble. A group of people seeking progress without Knowledge is already a societal menace. A lot of black people dislike whites. When you gather such people together, things could easily spin out of control.

I grew up in North America and I can tell you for sure that your group would only feed a stereotype. We had black people's clubs back in school. We studied together, taught each other things like programming, investment operations, etc. and these things helped us take control of our future. I'm sorry, but your group can only give you hood superiority if it's not knowledge driven and, honestly, it appears you just want to boost your own self confidence after feeling trampled. I'd suggest you talk to someone to learn how they navigated the muddy waters instead of resorting to gangsterism. I'm only concerned you'd end up soiling our name.

Not even a study group. More like exporting cultism. Dude, face your studies and prove your supremacy with superior intelligence. When you're intelligent and industrious, you command respect.

To be a woman in Africa....

Bro, Feminism won't help u. I haven't made any good or bad comments abt this pics. Stop acting like a Saint.

Dude, quit the act already. Taking a picture of a lady purchasing vegetables like any other human being ans sharing it online hoping to get certain reactions is already bad enough. Why is it that when you guys are corrected or called out, you scream feminism? Shouldn't women buy cucumber anymore? Like everyone else said, this is childish.

Why do you want us to earn together? Do you like me that much?

Minimum wage in Nigeria is 30,000 naira. I mentioned purchasing power right? if you didn't skip that part while looking for faults.

Hhm... I really don't know why you're getting aggressive. It's a conversation and we're here to put things into perspective. I read you correctly before disagreeing. I think asking who in Nigeria earns up to the American minimum wage is a wrong approach cause Nigerians don't need to earn American minimum wage. This doesn't mean your position is wrong (I don't know enough about Nigeria to argue that). It only means you need other tools to express that instead minimum wage conversion. The fact that you mentioned purchasing power afterwards as a way of buttressing your point doesn't change the fact that you kicked off wrongly. There shouldn't even be a conversion in the first place.

The factors that make living abroad better include the availability of amenities, security and stability. Out there, you have a better control of your expenses (less probability of emergencies), investments will yield better returns, you have higher utilities, and most importantly, the tendency to earn even more. If you want to compare minimum wages, drive it solely by expenses and not exchange rate. The presence of exchange rates makes every other calculation wrong cause the sample earners are in two different countries. That's just my point.

DropsMic:
My bro - a surgeon - wey move to UK just last two years don buy him own house for Kinsley... He drives a hybrid car and his daughter attends the best school.. No dey deceive yourself.. As long as you have a skill and you are hardworking you gon make it in obodo oyibo.

Nice... but it's important to also let people know he'd likely be paying for that house for the next 25 to 30 years or even more.

manikspears:
How much is minimum wage in Nigeria ?

You tell me. I don't really know. And I'm not saying Nigerians are better off. I only said for conversation sake that the angle from which you approached the subject is faulty. And I gave my reasons for that. Tell me the minimum wage, let's express the expenses as a percentage of that and we might just end up realizing both spend the same portion of thier earnings each year.

manikspears:
Don't mind them, minimum wage is 31k per year na cleaner and messenger work be that o.....oya convert am to naira how many graduates dey make that kind money per year for naija? Even if you consider the purchasing power.

Except you live in Nigeria and work for an American firm, converting dollar to Naira doesn't really give any useful financial information cause the person earning in dollars spends in dollars while the person earning in Naira spends in Naira. What matters is the basket worth of the money. For example, someone living in a city can hardly survive on that 31k per annum. Someone who earns 500k in Nigeria will have more money than someone earning the dollar equivalent of that in the US. I think the upside for those living abroad is the basic amenities they enjoy as well as the stability.

225/month for two bedrooms? Seeing how much she makes in a year, I see why that amount is a problem. Otherwise, I'd say that's unbelievably cheap compared to what we pay out here. Really, most of these so-called big cities are not worth it.

slimjohn2k5:
They slap me tire for this, without telling me the reason for the slap, I go just switch am

Lol... was the beating really necessary? A kid would eventually learn and desire to do the right thing if you always praise them each time they get it right. Positive reinforcement works like magic on kids (and even adults).

I didn't know he meant literally crashing until I read the body. So he's saying "lift these sanctions or I'll drop this stuff on people"? Putin is looking for more ways to hold the world hostage. Russia is in no position to face NATO. The only thing Putin has going for him is his lack regards for human lives. He'd gladly burn down this planet if he feels cornered. And that's why the West is carefully treating him like a mad man with a gun. Anyone supporting him just because they dislike the West is not being logical in my opinion.

lexy2014:
You haven't answered d question:

Was surgery carried out on MJ to fix the vitiligo? yes or no

Yes sir, he got his first surgery to whiten his skin and completely hide his vitiligo.

lexy2014:
Was surgery carried out on MJ to fix the vitiligo?

1Sharon:
Does that explain why his hair went limp and his nose got narrower ?

The OP shared a picture of what MJ would have looked like if he hadn't opted for surgery, and I said the picture ain't accurate cause it left out the vitiligo part. In other words, the man in the picture doesn't have vitiligo. Now remind me how these your questions relate to that comment.

Anyway, for conversation sake, I'd answer nevertheless. I believe MJ changed his physical features in addition to whitening his skin cause a white man with a black man's physical features would be just as odd as someone with vitiligo singing and dancing on the screen especially in an industry like his. The keyword is "believe" cause we can only speculate at this moment.

Whichever, I'm not in a position to judge him. He had a condition that was threatening to stop him from achieving his dream and he decided to put up a fight with all his resources. Whether he failed or succeeded is a question of perspective.

Starzo:
you turned out fine??...u this degenerate fooling yourself all over nairaland turned out fine?. Infact you're the prime example of why the rod should never be spared. Maybe with a little beating you wouldn't have turned out to be such a disappointing menace disgracing your generation continuously.

Lol... Wow, that degenerated so fast. OK, I'll leave it up to on readers to decide who turned out well. Enjoy your day, sir!

Daboomb:
You are wrong about the above.
1) Abusing a Child - Using profanity on a child (Verbal); applying extreme Violence or physical injuries on a Child (Physical abuse)
2) Hitting a Child - Use of one's Fist to impact a child
3) Disciplining a Child - Training a Child to have desirable Values
4) Flogging a Child - Applying a Cane to the hand or buttocks of a Child

Now, all the above will cause pain and make a Child Cry but they are very different from each other.
As a Parent, l cant stand and watch an adult Abuse a Child or Hit a Child with their Fist. I have have challenged many Parents or older people who do such to a Child in my presence.

When it comes to disciplining a Child, l am 100% for it. I consider it as part of the necessary job of a Parent, to mould a Child into a decent member of the society. Most of the problems we have in Nigeria today, arises from lack of discipline, of our children.
It even gets worse because untrained Parents who themselves lack discipline, have now given birth to children they cant train, because "you cant give what you dont have".

Flogging is not compulsory but at times, it is necessary to drive home a point, A point that repeated verbal correction has failed to drive home.
It all depends on the child, some Children will conform, just by the "red eye" of their Parents.
Some other Child will not harken to the red eye but wil only conform when you shout and repeat the correction a few times.
Some other children are like Goats, you need to drive home th point ina mature and humane manner, not out of anger.

Every Parent needs to understand their child and apply the appropriate level of discipline but just dont be doing copy-copy of other parents because your children are not the same.

The Golden Rule for physical punishment of a Child is: Never flog a child when you are ANGRY.
Focus on the lesson (using pep talk, before and after canning), let the flogging be as minimal as possible because the goal is not to inflict 'damage" but to re-inforce a learning an change of behaviour.
Most Parents flog out of anger and that is very wrong
Show the child more love, after the flogging, so he knows that he is still loved but needs to be corrected.

That is how l was raised, that is how l am raising my Children and that is how my eldest Son is raising his own child, it has not failed us to date,

Yes, l flog my Children occassionally, the last one just finnished SS4 and three are already Graduates,

Well, that's how you were raised and that explains why you think it's okay to hit kids. As for me, my parents never ever hit me for once and I'm doing great. I respect them a lot. There's nothing that indicates you turned out better than myself. My siblings don't hit thier kids and I ain't hitting mine.

Majority for the time, people don't hit thier kids just because they want to correct them. They do it cause they're angry and they know the society would accept thier reaction as corrective. This leaves children at the mercy of people with different anger levels including the dangerous ones.

Nothing has shown hitting kids produces better children. If anything, it creates a mindset that violence can be corrective in nature thus the reason why some people extend that to spouses. Thank you.

_{NB: Hitting someone could be with your hand or any other tool.}

We are done for it, I think the problem is not Nigeria, it's humanity

Hhmm... Sir, let's leave humanity alone. The Nigerian law needs to be very strict regarding domestic violence. Imagine the number of people that think it's okay to hit their wives as a corrective measure in Delta according the pole share on here sometime ago. And someone on this platform said "you shouldn't just overdo it". This means he didn't think it was wrong provided you don't "overdo it". When we read about bad things done by ladies, everyone starts shouting "women, fear than gender!" But when a man is the culprit, it's humanity. No, this is not humanity, this is lawlessness in the country combined with a terrible mindset. That's why it happens more often there. I believe this stems from the fact it's okay to hit kids in Africa. So to many, hitting is corrective. While deep down, we all know it's more about anger than love.

kokomilala:
Are you kidding me? You call 18 ,19 small girls. These are consenting adults,once they agree to their frivolous acts .It's only if or when he forcefully gas it way.In other words,if he rapes them that it becomes an issue.
And let me tell you this: these 18,19 year-olds are world beaters. Some ,if not most,had started having sex from 11,12,13 yrs on.

Just don't come online tomorrow to complain that Nigerian girls are oloshos since there's nothing wrong with using them when they're young and thirsty.

Tomorrow, the same people will complain there's no decent girl to marry. You plant oloshos and want to harvest virgins. Hypocrisy.

phoneport:
Finally, if he had not died early in life, he would have looked liked this now.

You forget he was confirmed to have acute vitiligo. Without surgery, he would have ended up multi-colored. And his was also on his face.

Lol... why argue with "stupid stubborn people" just to win?

Lol... I don't blame him. You're in Nigeria, why pay in dollars? These Nigerians might not know how to identify fake dollar notes, so I'd also reject it in thier shoes.

Isn't there a minimum wage in Nigeria?

Why are these folks on the front page bent on disparaging thier own country though? One didn't even allow the OP to show more than a couple of pics before rubbishing the whole thing. And the other chose to talk down the aviators he doesn't know. Y'all are praising other countries whose aviators you don't know. The OP never said Nigeria had the best. He only wanted to educate those who asked if the country had some. I see some solid fighter jets there. No country has ever gotten better by denigrating themselves.

Actually, there's nothing here that indicates she was with the guy. Looks more like the guy was calculating the bills for everyone there. But yeah... let's curse women.

Michelle70:
autocorrect, I wanted to say decillion.

Thanks for bringing back my attention

Oh... OK.

Michelle70:
calm down, I dont like Tinubu either and prefer Amaechi a Deucalion times.

Isn't Deucalion a Greek god?

ManirBK:
Good one how I wish the ban may cripple UK Government, I hate them a lot because their hypocrisy to Russia.

I know the title calls it a hit back, but it's actually a survival move. They didn't place the ban to cripple the West. They placed the ban primarily to save thier own economy first. A dying economy can hardly cripple anyone. Besides, nothing in the Russian history shows they're great economists. China is the only country that can play this game with the West.

Let's not spread false news, please. It would only make the situation worse. This has long been debunked.
