@isolatrg@GossipMillNaija Every fairly educated person knows that at some point in your travel quest, the embassy will demand your bank statement. So, if you pay an agent without giving him your statement but you still expect to travel, then you're part of a fraud. U just chose plausible deniability.
@alison_ibra True. And these two truths can exist. I have no disagreement here. It is people who think that my comment means Africa has not improved that I will have issues with.
One uncomfortable truth that nobody wants to talk about is that the quality of players has declined globally. Not to downplay Africa's achievements, but the regular power houses also don't have as much star quality as they used to. Look at the lineups of nations like Germany, Spain, Brazil, etc. Mostly average players in most positions. Any fearless, organised team can go toe to toe with most European and South American teams these days.
@talktonelsonb@dammiedammie35 She said "Nigerians" cos RHI beneficiaries are Nigerians. She did not say "all Nigerians".
Lastly, it is "where did she SAY", not SAID. If she donated English lesson fees, some like u wld have criticized her saying it was unnecessary. But people's needs are different. #lastword.
@talktonelsonb@dammiedammie35 That's not true. They encouraged specific people who were beneficiaries of the RHI grant, not all Nigerians.
Nobody who wanted to build an AI startup applied to RHI economic empowerment programme which is capped at 50k & targeted at small scale business. Don't be disingenuous.
@Wizarab10 The akara business u bash is someone's lifeline and many have found footing from such starts.
In online commentary, everybody speaks from city privilege. But in the real world, some people's skills, training & age leave them with very limited choices - but govt must still help.
I told yall it was a literacy issue and everyone wanted to rip my head off. Back in the day, rappers had vast and diverse vocabulary. They used figurative language, and literary devices. And this is not about AAVE, because that’s a dialect. the new cats are vastly illiterate.
@maintishe Very right. Although what dropped was intelligence & literary skill not literacy. The old cats were literary giants even though many were unschooled. We see the same decline in comedy too, whose OGs equally included illiterates.
@ininghe_ Celebrating nudity or retaining their culture? Not everybody must accept the puritanical interpretations of oversexualized Europeans who (1) only think sex when they see flesh or (2) shame legitimate sexual desires and sensuality while doing absurdities privately.
