Jobs/Vacancies › Re: I Was Given A Suspension Letter by WoundedLamb: 9:10pm On Mar 04, 2022

yuping:
most people blaming you are just doing so because of the risk of you loosing your job, the question still remains what is your offense.

People blaming him are not blaming him cause they support the director. The OP was meant to say hi to his director out of courtesy/respect though he wasn't in any way obliged to do that. But then again, there are certain distractions we shouldn't allow to come in the way of our progress. So while it's mind blowing that someone would demand to be greeted in such a manner, I also believe the confrontation was totally unnecessary, except they were fighting prior to the incidence.

When employers ask for years of experience, it's not necessarily all about your hard skills. They also want to know how long you've worked with different types of people. People management is very important and OP didn't show he's got the skill. The truth is, he'd still meet annoying people like his director in his next job, how long would he keep fighting them? The director's arrogance should be his problem but sadly, OP made it his own life problem. Otherwise, why should he suffer the loss of his job cause of the attitude of a proud man? Except he's been planning to quit, there was no reason for him to hurt himself in that way.

Self love demands that we weigh every possible outcome and how they affect us before acting. OP has lost his job, the director has gone his way. Is this really the best outcome? Even as an employer, I wouldn't employ someone like the OP not because I plan to demand greetings every morning, but because he doesn't have the emotional intelligence to isolate targets from distractions.

Just an opinion.

Haven't you had reasons to do this test before now? Why not redo the test somewhere else? I mean, you're 24 already and you haven't been experiencing the known SS issues. I'd like to believe the result ain't correct but then again, medical sciences aren't all about 1 + 1; there are always exceptions. So the first thing I'd do in your position is to do a confirmatory test. Even if you're SS, I'd say you're a special type. What the sickle cell anemia could not do to you prior to now, I doubt it'd be able to do going forward. You'd only need to ask your doctor about things to look out for or avoid, and you can live your life like anyone else. Even the AS people have marriage constraints (which I'm sure you're already thinking about).

Bon courage !

No offence taken, Nairaland is a hobby and not part of my productive life, but despite the poor and unreadable grammar as you so stated, you have provided a substantial response..thank you

My response ....

Russia, the UK, France and USA were all signatories to the Budapest Memorandum and it was an assurance to Ukraine and not a guarantee that Ukraine will be protected. There was no binding defence agreement like the NATO alliance.

Russia's security and economic interest are both at stake, that's why Russia invaded Ukraine. The utube podcast provides a further illustration on the subject.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If61baWF4GE&t=455s&ab_channel=RealLifeLore

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum_on_Security_Assurances#:~:text=The%20Budapest%20Memorandum%20was%20negotiated,military%20assistance%20on%20its%20parties.

By saying it's an assurance and not a guarantee, you're saying it's a promise that Russia was/is not obliged to keep. Well, that's probably true and that explains why there was no penalty. But the fact remains that they broke that promise and for that reason, lost Ukraine's trust. Ukraine is probably regretting giving up thier nuclear weapons cause it's as if that was for nothing (though there were other reasons). At this point, I don't think Ukraine would want anything other than a guarantee (thanks for the word) that Russia will respect thier sovereign going forward. Seeing that Russia has no problem with breaking promises and judging by the Donbas issue, NATO is no longer just a want for Ukraine but more of a need. Under normal circumstances, we should be discussing the peculiarities of this issue and possible exit solutions, but sadly, people are so interested in seeing the West fail that they don't really care about the plight of Ukrainians.

_{Thanks for the first paragraph. I was worried you'd kick my as.s.}

The Budapest memoranda is an assurance and did not guarantee by Russia, UK, USA and France gave Ukraine. They can break that assurance if they found out that Ukraine was not abiding by the rules in this case Ukraine planning to use its stockpile of enriched uranium from it's civilian nuclear plant to build a bomb.

Sorry, your first sentence is ungrammatical and that makes it a bit difficult to understand. You might want to review it. Frankly, no offense.

That said, Russia was a signatory to the Budapest Memorandum and Russia violated that by invading Crimea even before referendum. It's not everything that has to be twisted for the sake of argument. Putin just has no regards for international pacts and this makes it hard to relate with him. Ukraine was not building any nuclear bomb. You think they'd give up all thier nuclear warheads (3rd in the world) just to start building petty bombs all over again? These are speculations and Russia never cited that as a reason for ignoring the agreement to invade Crimea. They clearly invaded Crimea for the sole purpose of annexing it while damning the consequences cause they knew Ukraine was helpless. That same year, they focused on Donbas and successfully disassociated them from Ukraine. Today, they're moving to finally carve them out. In what world is this fair, please? How many times will he disintegrate this country before y'all see that it's just not right? You think all these just happened by chance? Ukraine cried out in 2018 but the world ignored and now they're actively seeking help and this same Russia is saying no.

I am not an authority but I believe the main reason Russia does not want Ukraine in NATO isn't about any missile. Virtually all Russian neighbours are NATO members already. They simply want to finish thier project before whatever remains of Ukraine is able to join NATO. And this is why they didn't want to take diplomacy in this issue; they just dropped thier request with no possibility of compromise. Negotiations were still going on Wednesday and they moved in on Thursday in the guise of peace keeping and then eventually spread out all over the country. These are moves of someone who's in a hurry to meet a target. We all know Russia is a bully. People are just letting thier hatred for the West push them into supporting oppression.

How can Minsk agreement be the genesis of the problem when the Donbas war it was meant to end even started after Crimea invasion? The Minsk was not even completed and it was never implemented.

Lol... See the person accusing someone of reading the back of the internet. You're reading Wikipedia. Dude, Ukraine had the third largest repository of nuclear weapons in the world post independence. They started transferring their nuclear warheads to Russia in 1994 and transferred the last one in 1996. What Ukraine dismantled (or destroyed) was their nuclear infrastructures like missiles, missile silos, missile boosters, carriers, bombers and later, thier strategic nuclear delivery vehicles (2001). They turned over their nuclear warheads in exchange for security guarantees. It is very obvious from your first comment that you are not conversant with this subject.

TA4TA4:
Great response I must say.. And I am more than willing to learn more from you, cause it seems you know so much about international politics.

For the records, I am not in support of Russia's invasion, especially as so many lives are being lost in the process.

My concern though, is why are western countries so concerned about Ukraine when lives have also been lost in places like Palestine.

I feel it boils down to personal interest (I stand to be corrected though).

Putin has taken his actions too far, I agree but I think she is concerned of Ukraine being used as a NATO military base just like America was concerned about Cuba when USSR sent some missiles over there.

In the case of invasion... America is also guilty.... We have the banana wars of Nicaragua, Iraq, Kuwait, Panama, Cuba.

In many of the above cases, the invasions were uncalled for... And they left the countries worse than they were when they invaded them.

Like I said, I will be more than willing of you could school me more.... Thanks bro.

That's the point I was trying to make, people just support Russian aggression against Ukraine cause America is guilty. I'm going to talk about Cuba in a moment. But it's important to point out that that discussion - though might be a possible source of solution - shouldn't have much bearing on the fate of Ukrainians. The aim shouldn't be to support or oppose Putin. In other words, the people of Ukraine shouldn't suffer because of the West. The logic doesn't add up, not when Russia is clearly not being fair to thier neighbour. We just read the news of Cameroonian forces attacking Nigerians near the border. Imagine the conclusive line "because America invaded Cuba, Cameroon is right to invade Nigeria". As a Nigerian, wouldn't that be the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard? That exactly how Ukrainians feel when they see these guys supporting Putin because of thier anti-American sentiments without paying attention to the actual issues between the two countries to see who's wrong or right. That's why I said that as far as invasion is concerned, we must focus on the victims and not the oppressors. Otherwise, we'd find ourselves unknowingly supporting oppression all over the world.

Here's why I think the Cuban case was easier to approach. First, the United States was not oppressing Cuba post independence prior to the invasion and the activities that led to the invasion (1960 to 1961), and they didn't have any pact with Cuba. So Cuba did not romance Russia in order to defend itself against the US. Cuba offered its soil as a military base for the economic gains and for Castro's personal gains. Second, the US made use of Cuban exiles who targeted Castro's air fleet and not civilians. Third, Kennedy eventually made an offer that satisfied both parties, he compromised. Fourth, virtually all the UN countries voted to condemn the US.

Let's place these facts side by side with the current case. First, Ukraine has been tossed around by Russia for long despite their agreement in 1994, and that's practically the reason they want to join NATO. At this point, telling Ukraine not to join NATO is no longer a solution cause you'd leave thier original issue unaddressed. Second, Putin is bombing civilians when he claimed he went in for peace keeping. Third, he's not proposing a reasonable exit solution. A reasonable solution would be one that ensures Ukraine's safety if it must not join NATO. Fourth, the UN voted a few days ago and the concensus was to condemn Russia just the way they stood with Cuba.

It is okay to call the US hypocrites. But we must unite on Ukraine. Even Iranians are showing thier support. Nothing shows Putin has integrity. He said it was NATO membership. While the negotiations were ongoing, he invaded the country and called it peace keeping, and while doing the so-called peace keeping, he spread his men all over the country and urged the president to surrender. He never planned to take diplomacy. He had only a couple of things on the table which Ukraine cannot possibly accept. How do you deal with such a man? I'm sorry and you've got every right to disagree, but I believe Putin is a dictator who doesn't know how to survive in a democratic world. He's got zero diplomatic skills and he's shown absolute lack of integrity in his dealings.

When you're not well read on a particular subject, approach it gently. Ukraine inherited nuclear weapons following the breakup of the Soviet Union. All of them were handed over to Russia about three years later after signing the Budapest Memorandum. Like I said, y'all that support Russia do not really understand the plight of Ukraine. You claim you dislike the West, yet you're supporting a move like this. It just doesn't add up.

Its finished for Ukraine, the west push her to fight someone they can never look her eye to fight.

You guys saying don't seem to understand the relationship between Ukraine and Russia. Do you think Ukraine would be looking at NATO if Russia treated them like the US treats Canada? Russia practically pushed Ukraine to NATO by showing over and over again they've got no regards for Memoranda/pacts. It was a survival move for Ukraine. Ukraine gave up ALL thier nuclear weapons to Russia just to be left in peace. Russia signed never to harass them or violate thier sovereignty. This pact was continously violated by this same Russia. What would have the country do? Stay back and be oppressed into extinction? The leaders had to take a decision in the best interest of thier people. What Russia is asking of Ukraine is like pushing someone to the wall and asking them to break it and keep moving.

The only reason some people don't care about what Ukraine is going through is the grudges they've got against the West. But what they fail to understand is that they'd end up supporting oppression all over the world just cause the West are not saints. The only solution to this is one that ensures Russia will leave Ukraine in peace going forward. Just saying "don't join NATO" without addressing their concerns is not a solution but an oppression.

I agree with you to a certain degree.... But I hope you know the trouble is way beyond any pact... Have you wondered why some parts of Ukraine see themselves more as Russians?

Are you aware that even before the pact, Russia were sacking villages in Ukraine and put Russians there as the new inhabitants?

I normally won't care about what's going on in Ukraine cause countries like Palestine and Nigeria has faced even worse situations and the whole world turned deaf...

Have you heard about the CUBA MISSILE CRISIS?

I feel Russia is concerned that if Ukraine joins NATO, the west will readily deploy warheads there... And Ukraine is too close for comfort...

It is similar to John F Kennedy reaction to Cuba when USSR deployed warheads in Cuba....

Thank you for the thoughtful and respectfully presented argument. Please, don't be offended but I don't think you really addressed any of the things I said (or maybe I didn't fully understand your response). You're telling me why Russia doesn't want Ukraine in NATO. I think we all know that already. I gave you reasons why Ukraine wants to be in NATO. I explained Ukraine's desire to join NATO is not a want but a need. It is a survival move and Russia pushed them to that. So if you're asking them not join NATO or EU, what would you suggest they do? Just stay and be oppressed/sliced into non existence by Russia? It's like hitting a child and asking him not to cry.

As for the regions, are you saying the fact that we have some Ukrainians who speak Russian and feel Russian is a good reason for Putin to keep invading thier country and violating thier integrity even after signing he'd never do that? Is it that when they were signing the Budapest, they didn't know there were Russians in Ukraine? Or they just wanted to decieve the country into giving up ALL thier nuclear weapons? Can Russia be trusted at this point? We have Yorubas in Binin Republic, will you support Nigeria to invade Binin for any reason? This is the 21st century, I really don't think things work that way anymore.

I read you correctly about Cuba. When presented side by side with this one, they're not exactly the same in terms causative and operational factors, but the motifs are similar and we can borrow a few things from how it was eventually resolved. We can talk about that if you want (the comparison is another interesting subject), but I don’t subscribe to the idea of justifying the slaughtering of people in Eastern Europe based on anti-American sentiments. The focus shouldn't be the oppressors but the victims. And when you view it that way, it begins to make little sense to say "because Cubans suffered this, it's OK for Ukrainians to suffer it". Like I said, we can talk about this cause it's a worthy subject but not a necessarily a justification for Putin.

petesunday:
1. Ukraine should withdraw all their troops and recognise the independence of Donbass
2. Ukraine should sign an agreement to never, ever join NATO, just like Finland. Shebi Finland dey EU and its a Russian neighbour but they are not in NATO

If Ukraine does these two above, the Russian forces will go home but you know that will be a big blow for the west

This is is the type of discussion that's worthwhile, solutions. But let me ask, where is the compromise on Russian side? Because from what you wrote, I can deduct you're simply saying Ukraine should give in to Putin's demands. Removing his men from Ukraine is not a compromise, it's just an expected end. And please, forget about the West temporarily cause it's obvious the anti-West sentiments are the reason people support Putin without considering the real issues between the two countries involved.

In case you don't get what I mean, I'm asking, if Ukraine agrees to leave NATO alone, what would Putin do to address the reasons they decided to join NATO in the first place? It's a negotiation, so what is he bringing to the table? Or are you saying Ukraine should just be left at the mercy of Russia?

Here is a background. About 3 years after the split, Ukraine gave up all their nuclear weapons to Russia while Russia signed a memorandum called the Budapest Memorandum in which they agreed to forever respect the sovereignty of Ukraine. But seizing Crimea in 2014, Russia violated that Memorandum. They took Crimea before the referendum. The Minsk agreement was signed after this but was also violated. Russia went for Donbas that same year. It was very obvious they'd keep slicing the less powerful Ukraine. Let's not even talk about the minor harassment every now and then.

Now, Ukraine is looking to NATO/EU to put an end to thier misery and Russia is saying they shouldn't. It's like pushing you to the wall and asking you to break it and keep moving. So I ask again, what should Ukraine do? Sign another agreement that Russia would violate before the next day? Or hand the country over to Russia? Brother, an ideal solution is one that ensures Ukraine's safety and sovereignty remain intact. So when I see people say Ukraine should just forget NATO, I ask "and then do what?" Ukraine wouldn't be looking at NATO if Russia respected them the way the US respects Canada.

Ukrainians are not wise. You can never win a war on your soil. The damages will be too much. Don't let the EU nudge you on. Sue for peace and look for alternative. If possible, conduct referendum for the Russian controlled region let's see what will be Putin's next excuse for invasion

What exactly do you want Ukraine to do when the war was brought to thier doorstep? To just surrender their region and forget thier dream of joining NATO?

About the region, Russia has taken over the area in question, so their continued stay in the rest of Ukraine at this point suggests taking control of the region is not the endgame. Again, this is not the first time Russia is forcefully taking over a region before any referendum. How long would they keep doing that?

As for NATO membership, people asking Ukraine to forget that have not offered a solution to the main issue that made them feel the need to join the body in the first place. Most Putin supporters are just being anti-West without any consideration to the real issue between Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine planned to join NATO cause Russia has consistently violated the Budapest Memorandum. So it's either they join NATO or they submit to the continued oppression.

They'll be negotiation today according to reports, but at this point, it'll be very difficult to take Putin's words cause he hasn't been straightforward and his demands aren't very realistic. First, it was NATO membership, and while egotiations were still ongoing, he invaded Ukraine in the name of peace keeping. And then he sent his men all over the country.

At this point, it would be more useful to start discussing possible solutions. I'd like to know what Putin is bringing to the table as a way out cause asking Ukraine not to join NATO and/or EU without providing any formal reassurance that they'd be free of his aggression going forward is not an option. That's not how things work at the global stage. Even the US makes compromises. Ukraine was pushed to NATO by Russia's consistent violation of the old agreements. They cannot just remain that way.

Romance › Re: Best friends in life are those you met in Secondary School by WoundedLamb: 3:00am On Feb 28, 2022

I feel the reason we tend to appreciate secondary school friends more is probably cause we feel there aren't after whatever it is we achieved later in life cause they were there before the achievement was made, and also because we've known them long enough become experts in dealing with thier shortcomings. We spend 6 years with these guys at a point in our lives when we aren't really concerned about life issues. At this point, most of our time is spent building our relationships. These friends aren't necessarily better than people we meet later in life but they are the "devil we know"; the ones whose limitations we've come to accept and normalize. As adults, we hardly stay at the same place for that long. Even when we do, we're more preoccupied with life issues.

That said, I believe it's actually more about the circumstances than the place (secondary school). You'd feel that way about anyone who toils with you long enough at a time in your life when you have enough space for relationships. Those who never attended any secondary school still have people like this in their lives. Some meet such people during the national service year.

In summary, great friendships are built when we meet the right people in the right circumstances. There are no hard and fast rules in life. You can meet your best friends just about anywhere.
