@Nedumooree Your friend was impulsive, which may cost him. Had he paused to understand his wife's perspective, he might have recovered the 45M amicably. His reaction seems to have shut that door.
@rukky_nate The inconvenience is the issue. Having to carry extra device for data is such a hassle.
While it's true that mobile data drains phone batteries but it's stress free.
@AAAlatishe That's true though. The bridge doesn't require a median.
Still it'd be better for it to have a wider width. Maybe 10m or even 12m if must be a single carriageway.
@AbuUbayy1 The brother should not try to marry a divorcee. He can't handle it. It's better the wedding is called off. I mean for the Sister though.
As long as her ex-husband is still alive & around, he'll always have to tolerate his presence. And he can't deal with that & very few men can
@Ol0ye That your last point, i totally disagree with that.
In fact it made me think that people can actually contest it in the court of law to get them to do the right thing.
Customs would do that suits them, but it is the people that would fight for their rights through legal means
@mayorde4you2 Firstly, their standard rate is more of 10k -ish. And they don't get to work everyday of the week. Probably 15 days a month.
Then all associated costs to their work they had to pay for including their work tools.
Many of them have to use certain drugs after each day work.
@arojinle1 There's nothing wrong in being left handed but eating with the left hand and washing one's butt with right hand is a no no.
I'm talking as a Muslim ooo.
@XcessCars This is sacrilege. S550 is a beauty on its own. In fact by today's standard 2011 S550 is a class on its own, a beast on the road.
I wonder what they had to massacre such a beauty, what a shame.
@get2kenelvis@FabrizioRomano First world cup held in Uruguay exactly 96 years ago. Please what's left for FIFA to learn?
This isn't about learning, it's about the incompetencies & inadequacies of the organizers. Their inability to rein in on host nations to accommodate officials, participants & fans.
@CryptoVerse36@mvcciido_szn Just search for Android head on elevators AliExpress. And remember to include the name, model & year of the vehicle you want it installed.
@OgbonnaReigns Your uncle's wife didn't sell the land, she gave it to her father.
It was never hers to sell or give.
I would've advised him to demand that she return it but his life might be in danger.
I think your uncle should start looking for another wife.
@oforezika A man not bathing his underage daughter should be his choice not a law imposed upon him by "his wife".
Circumstances may warrant him helping out once in a while as bathing the kids is not part of his "core" duties.
Finally, leading his home is best for him & his family.
@oforezika What she wrote, "My husband has been moody all day because I made a law never to bathe any female child in our house"
What I read, my wife has been moody all day because I made a law never to bathe any female child in my house"
How the mighty (male gender) have fallen.
@Millishield01 You're comparing somewhere the warranty comes with the purchase of a car to somewhere you're the warranty.
Most of those cars you're seeing are bought new or rentals. They get discarded once the warranty expires but here in Nigeria a car is used till it dies.
Firstly, Ethiopia is under US sanctions while Vietnam is not. And speaking of former French colonies, Haiti was the first to get independence (1804) and is still one of the poorest countries in the world because of the debt they had to take on to gain independence (it took them until 1947 to fully repay it!). Whereas, New Caledonia is still a French colony and is neither rich nor poor.
"If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor..."
This line completely ignores the European powers' (and US) post-colonial control over Africa. Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the DRC, was tortured and killed by Belgium and the US for being a nationalist. His body was dissolved in acid so he wouldn't become a martyr. His legacy is largely unknown even within the continent. Several other such "lessons" were meted out. Google Thomas Sankara (Burkina Faso) and Sylvanus Olympio (Togo).
Once you set the example, you gain obedience. The VietCong, on the other hand, didn't surrender even though 3 million Vietnamese died during the war, and several thousand more continue to die to this day (!) from Agent Orange exposure.
As for former French colonies in Africa, France still controls their currency and holds their central bank reserves in France. As Rothschild purportedly said, "permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws."
Third, the borders in Africa were drawn in such a way that conflict was inevitable. At the Berlin Conference in 1884-85, the European powers simply carved up the continent by drawing straight line borders. African leaders were conspicuous only by their absence at this historic event which shaped the next century. This is why Cameroon, a French-speaking country, has a minority English-speaking territory, ensuring it remains destabilized. Likewise for West Asia/the Middle East, where the Sykes-Picot legacy lives on.
@magattew conflates formal colonial rule with colonial control. Vietnam managed to fully kick out both France and the US, reunified the North and the South, and kept its sovereignty. All African leaders who attempted the same have been systematically eliminated (see Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's divisive leader, for a recent example), ensuring Africa forever bears the open wounds of its colonial legacy.
But Ms. Wade is right on one thing: Vietnam owes its prosperity to overcoming colonial rule. Maybe Africa can become prosperous if Africans do the same.
