For were ! I be full blooded Millennial, E be like say you no understand wetin I day yarn. The werey had to guts to put Saving private Ryan and the useless movie in the same sentence calling them equals and I fell for the click bait. Las Las curiosity really killed this particular cat.

My bad.

Got you now.

majesticguy:


Lately, it seems most of these movie rating platforms are paying people to give glowing reviews to mediocre films. One bold soul on IMDb even dared to call this movie Saving Private Ryan the Modern Warfare edition. Many other reviewers also claimed it to be the best war movie ever. I took the bait. Three days in, and I’m not even halfway through. Meanwhile, I’m waiting for something, anything, to justify that comparison. At this point, finishing the movie feels more like a chore than entertainment.

Na Saving Private Ryan you stone like that?

GenZ...

OhBritannia:
Conclave is a solid 3/10 for me.
They do not have to make it so boring and sleepy like this.
They could have atleast added some thrill, twist and turns, little bit of action, mystery or even horror.

They just wasted the talents of the powerful casts for nothing.
We have seen boring series and movies before that turned out great but this one is just sleepy boring.
The only good thing about the series is the great cinematography.
The cinematography was what kept me.

Secondly, the storyline was too predictable like all these Nigeria asaba movies.
Immediately the cardinal from Kabul came, we already suspected he will be next pope and that speach he made already gave him up that he will be the next pope.

Thirdly an inter sex or unisex pope is a joke and an insult to the catholic church.
One way or the other they still had to introduce wokeness and mock the church in the end by disguising using a medical condition.

Like i said, the movie makers wasted the talents of the wonderful casts.
Most boring religious movie i have ever seen in my life.

Sometimes, the magic lies in the simple and mundane.

I fear we are all addicted to dopamine.

Please where can I find the series HOUSE MD?

Not found on my favorite websites.

Thanks.

Mark Ruffalo's character was hilarious!

No wonder God gave them these large doses of hormones.

Fear a focused 'emotion-less' woman.

Lovely story.

4 Oscar wins? Great!

By the way, did we see all of Emma Stone in her 'birth suit' or it's all CGi?

Mhenmen:
Congratulations. Kindly reply your mail.

quote author=bettyomo post=126098506]It finally ended in praise.

When I decided to try Canada, I never thought study route was for me due to age. Until one day on this forum I read a post of a 50 year old who was granted study permit. My course is Global Business Management different from my undergraduate degree (Law).

First study permit application:
After I submitted my application, i realised that it would not fly due to one lump sum payment of 14M credited to my 5 days before i printed out my statement. The had low opening balance. Even though I pinned it in my SOP as payment for sale of land with sale agreement, I was not convinced due to GCMS notes I read later on this forum where VO made comments on lump sum desposits as reason for refusal. I saw that some persons were able to convince VO but I know say my case be one kind. So I jeje withdrew the application to avoid stories that touch. I first withdrew my ission for September 2023 intake as my school does not defer and due to time needed to work on my , I applied and was itted to same school for Spring 2024 intake.

First application Timeline
Submission: 21st April, 2023
Withdrawal request: 30th April, 2023
Request approved: 3rd June, 2023
(I applied for GCMS notes via ATIP on 10th June and received it on 7th July. In the note there was a comment that Certicate of Incorporation included but no particulars of Director or Proprietor. So in my second application, I included that)

I left the 14M in my as opening balance and worked on the for 4 months. I tried as much as possible to avoid lump sum deposits and withdrawals. The introduction of I & E window showed me shege.

Second application
Submission: 14th August, 2023
Upfront Medical : 16th August, 2023
Biometrics: 17th August, 2023 ( updated 18th August, 2023) as completed)
Applied for CBSA notes: 30th August, 2023 (to know the status of medical)
Upfront Medical ed: 11th September, 2023
On 19th September, 2023: Sent several webforms and emails to Nairobi and London. Only London responded that it's office is not processing my application. I got just the generic response from Nairobi

I read here too that enquiries by MP triggers IRCC to process delayed application so on Saturday, 23rd September, 2023, i sent mails to 4 MP's. I got response on monday. 2 responded that they can only attend to people within their riding and one sent a mail that IRCC was ed on my behalf that my application was under review and within processing time. I come say make I rest until after the 7th week I refire again.

Surprisingly on 27th September, 2023 that same week eligibility review started and that same day I received a mail to forward identification for cbsa note. I forwarded immediately.
port request: 29th September, 2023

Chizaam2008:


Oh yes! CSU has a history of fraud.
They should be indicted!
Too many shady deals with ZERO credibility!

Small wonder after over 40 years CSU still has no national or state ranking . ONLY “regional’?

That is what you call A ROGUE SCHOOL only the likes of TIEFNUBU can arm-twist with money to fabricate ANYTHING.

We know!

Meanwhile check out my school mates.😝

Wey im own?

Small education: Regionally accredited schools are the REAL schools in the US. Others are less prestigious. Go and .

BoldBrainz:


Never heard of the New Hope feed before, but I'll research on it and probably use it subsequently, if it's up to standard.

That's the best feed in the market for now.

Especially their 'yellow bags'.

Hello All,

My spouse received a Manitoba LAA in the recent draw.

1. Can I a Telegram or Whatsapp group for guidance?

2. Is there a dedicated Manitoba PNP thread on Nairaland?

3. She has a cousin in Brandon, how will she prove this and what documentation is required? Her mum's half-sister (same mother, different fathers) is still her aunt right?

4. Our investments are in a Microfinance Bank, I hope this will not pose a problem. We have less than 30 days to respond to the LAA, do you advise we move the funds to a commercial bank? How do will do this without running foul of the Manitoba rules?

Thank you s for the good work you are all doing.

ErenXSatoru:

By the matrix ba😂😂 I don't homosexuals bro but you can't be homophobic by birth na😂 if you were born in an environment where homosexuality wasn't a bad thing you won't be homophobic

It is not natural Oga.

We are all born heterosexuals.

And we all do a "double-take" at deviants.

It's hard-coded in our DNA.

You need a 'hard reset'.

ErenXSatoru:

You were born with homophobia or your society thought you to discriminate against them🙄😏

Get detoxed.

You've been programmed.

abduleez1:


Not really.
It ain't as easy as that.

If you calculate the profit margins [(profit ÷ revenue) × 100] of all the companies this is the data : 👇

Netflix = 21%
WB = 24%
Disney = 12%
Paramount = -6.4%
Universal = 15%

This is the profit each company earns per dollar of revenue generated.

This means WB earns more money or profit compared to Netflix. So WB somehow is the King of them all according to that data.

It can be inferred that WB is well optimized to earn more profit than all despite suffering huge losses to its theatrical business. It's the most efficient of all.

One cannot argue with data.

You win.

abduleez1:


Lol, you must be clowning? Right?

Disney and WB makes way more money than the rest combined both in revenue and profits.
It's clearly stated there that Paramount was basically making losses while the others were profiting.
Netflix has a great business model tho.

My mistake on Paramount. Did not see the negative.

My point still stands though.

This means Netflix is the king of them all. At least for now.

That is when juxtapose Profit against Revenue.

There is a lot of waste with the bigger players.

abduleez1:
@ Whodeyhause

Just to show you guys the immense scale of the WB company. Everyone knows WB has been undergoing massive losses since last year at the box office. But look closely how much revenue they're still tapping overall even competing with Disney that released way more movies and has many hits.

With WB's disastrous BO they still almost beat out Disney's profit margins. So you see, they know how to cover it up because of their economics of scale.

Great business model by Netflix and especially Paramount. Very efficient.

It's obvious that WB and Disney are just threading water. All that outlay for such returns is a clear sign they need an overhaul.

Lady97:
I want to create a circle of friends…What am I saying more than friends but family…Family that have each other’s back, a family that show genuine love, affection, care, . I know most of us crave for such. Most of us have been hurt by people will love and care about. Some of us are looking for closure…we need someone to talk to… A circle of like minds.
Trust me Guys, I have a strong feeling that we can achieve this.
If you are judgmental please you aren’t needed
If you aren’t a born again Christian please don’t come close

We will be doing a lot :
Movie Night
Games
Talk show
Heart to heart talk
Hangout etc

So if you are interested you can reach me on WhatsApp via 07047991156 / 07065616074

A true Christian is judgemental, as it should be.
Asking for one is asking for the other.
So I ask, Are you really a Christian?
Or are you the only one 'allowed' to be judgemental in your community of "more than friends but family"?

Glory2DLamb:
N O I L E R S is what you are looking for.

They grow bigger than broilers and lay well.

Mine are roaming like local chicken behind my house. Though I give them some feed, they depend on insects and grasses more than the feed because I want 100 percent organic products.

They don't grow any bigger.

The only advantage is their ability to withstand stress, unlike broilers.

Their meat tastes better though.
