And so?

Lick your wounds.

Nazgul:
I've noticed that whenever I eat after 9pm upwards I usually feel very tired and sleepy most times I even sleep on the meal.

Just last night I prepared food and couldn't it until almost 10pm because I was busy. I was still eating the food when I started feeling dizzy and dozzed off. I woke up around past 1am this morning to find the food in front of me. I finish it sha.

I want to know if this is normal or it's a medical condition cos I'm already starting to get worried. Is anyone experiencing the same issue?

I wish we could switch bodies, I swear. I've stopped eating breakfast because I also feel dozy after eating. I'm not even 30 yet, almost. hahah. Nescafe used to turn me into a mega mind, but now it just sends me to the men's room.

Bixby, play me "Stressed out" by Twentyone Pilots.

I take photos of people at events often. Its a hobby of mine, and I don't charge for it as you'd only get a digital copy if you want it. You can go print it yourself.

What's annoying is people handing you their phone to take photos of them. I just show my full hands and walk off.

If I did it for work you are not forced to pay, but yes, the beautiful photos of beautiful you will be added to my wall.

This is the man I'm talking about- the one who attended a women-only event in Lagos.


Make I see this kind person for night, but make I nor fear based on say e identify as woman? 😂

Ijeb doesn't know what a woman is, how can he answer these simple question you've asked him now?

I can't be the only one struggling with the season two ...

The season one was alot better...

Yeah, I've seen folks on reddit complain about the pace of season two, and not giving room for the audience to breath. It was gbas gbos from one clip to the other... I've watched it twice now, and still use google to ask, "Who was sky, the girl with Victor in the ether realm"? hahahaha... But, that's the kind of entertainment I love.

I think this was spectacularly done. I cry every time I see little Vinx die.... peak entertainment!!!!!

SMILE 2.

Is part 1 as good as they say part two is?

IjeBos:


You seem to be unpurposefully or purposefully conflating multiple things.
If I jump off a 20 story building, the consequence is I will die.
What is the consequence to me or society if I choose to say I am a woman?

And honestly, I feel some of these arguments were used back in the days to justify racism and sexism. Especially the ordered and stabled society argument.



Let me delineate the argument again for you.
I believe there are primarily two sexes.
I do not believe in preferred pronouns and don't believe anyone should be forced into using them.
I don't care what you call yourself or how you live your in your personal life. Dress up as a cow for all I care.
I care only in so far it affects me, forces me into using preferred pronouns, etc.
I think that's part of the liberty the US was founded on.

I feel you are making me defend Trans and I'm not a proponent. I just think we have to be careful in dictating how people choose to live their lives.

Kindly indulge me. Biology is an empirical science, although evolving, why should there be a "I believe" and "Don't believe"? It's not religion.

bemeruca:


Not everyone will like you, but based on the fact that Christianity was the major religion, his movement was a positive one, and people liked it.

This is not rocket science. When he was Alive, he was becoming popular each day.

Feminism was like that, but not anymore.

I don't think the job of feminist is done, yet, nor has the movement lost its relevance. Not every society has caught up to the west yet. So, I think it only needs to change battleground.

In the west, the gender pay gap has shrunk considerably and very much affected by the difference in professions between men and women. While discrimination isn't the sole driving factor for the gender pay gap, we can't dismiss its impact. At least, that's what the studies say. I'm keen to believe the "discrimination" is the punishing nature of the work force towards mothers than it is to fathers. This is quite a tough battle, one I think, as we become more advanced in tech, will be resolved. I thought work would become more "work from home," but surprised as it reverted to in-office.

It's because of this "motherhood penalty" that women are driven to more flexible jobs, which often pay lower. For example, take a German woman who had attained an executive role in Porsche automobile. She threw her baby out the window after giving birth. The prosecution dismissed the postpartum argument her lawyers made, claiming "she hid the pregnancy from everyone around her." Which makes us believe she was scared of the implications the pregnancy'd have on her job. To make matters worse, the pregnancy came as a result of a one-night stand with a guy she doesn't have with. Or, so the rumors say.

Also, great strides have been made in the workforce, there's still much work to be done in the family dynamics of society. I don't fancy the "submission" idea that Christian feminist still peddle with, and I strongly think they need deliverance. Maybe, it's due to my inability to grasp what it means to submit. I never liked the idea anyway.

I would also advise to not use online banter from "red-pilled" version of feminist as the hallmark for what feminism stands for. What I see on X (formerly known as Twitter) is very different from what I read on books. There's the extreme versions of every movement. We call them the radicals, e.g, the radical right, the radical left, and so on. There's also the radical feminists. The ones who are shouting "Abort these male children" on X.

We often make the mistake of identifying a whole movement with it's radical elements, thinking they are representative of what such movements stand for. We identify radical lefts with democrat, radical right with republicans, and so on. If you want to learn about Feminists core ideology, you'll just have to dive into the books.

Bell Hooks is a great read; I didn't even know she was black until I stumbled upon a top ten black feminist writer kind of article. Glad our esteemed Chimamanda made the list, with three books or so. Buchi Emecheta also gives an accurate story-form of what feminist should stand for, and why it's needed. Although, she approaches this from household dynamics. I haven't read Chimamanda yet, though, shame.

I'm afraid, the X warriors do more harm than good. If men don't get onboard with the movement, there's nothing to gain. A great example will be feminist movements in extremist nations in Arabia where, out there, if you talk, na straight to torture chamber. However, something must rise against the online radical red-pill movement. Thus, radical feminism was born. Where extreme patriarchal values still hold, extreme radical feminist values will also rise to fight it. A typical example is the 4B movement debacle in S. Korea.

It's a pendulum thing, one that men often start, unfortunately.

IMAliyu2:

I see your point, but I'm uncharitable to the right on their authoritarian concerns as they seem to love the violent aspects of the state, the military and police.
Their concerns are directed at institutions of the government they feel stand in the way of their theological beliefs or hurts their corporate interest.

The US is the only developed country that has to deal with private health insurance companies like that.
In other developed countries they still have left and right politics, but the issue of having your Healthcare held hostage by for profit private insurance companies is not one of them.

This is why Dems are pussys for not constantly pushing Medicare For All.

I think American politicians take too much money from these rich guys and end up selling their souls to retain their political influence.

IMAliyu2:
Man united the left and right leaning Americans in their hatred of their messed-up healthcare system.

Not even Matt Walsh fans agree with him in his effort to paint only the left as gleeful about the UnitedHealthcare CEO assassination.

That's certainly one thing both wings have in common, the disdain for those power, albeit channelled differently. The right hates governments, the left hate cooperations. If you want to bring down political opponents, seek the right. If you want to bring down cooperations, seek the left. Hahaha. Fascinating overlay of authoritarian concerns.

budaatum:


I identify as buda. You are however very free and welcome to identify me as you see me with your own eyes. I, off course, reserve my right to not acknowledge your identification of me.

So you understand. You may identify yourself as an idiot, but I do not have to buy in to how you identify yourself.

Sorry, couldn't bother with the video.

That's very much the conservative's talking point---not particularly what someone in the Left wing would say.

It was a funny video. Hmm your loss.

budaatum:


Funny enough, a non-coloured person identifying as a coloured person, has happened. A caucasian woman tried it and lost her job when found out. And there was a man of 60+ who wanted to self-identify as half his age, which I found amusing. The courts didn't, and thereby dissuaded me from self-identify as the King of England to my utter chagrin. I was looking forward to my royal visit to Nigeria.

Thailand likely has the most transgenders of all countries, though I don't think they go as far as cutting off or adding bits, and mainly stick to cross dressing. They seem to have three genders - hetero male, hetero female, and people born male who are actually female. What's different about them is they don't seem to have the urge to combine hetero females with born males who are actually females, who seem to have carved out a niche of their own. And the Thailand hetero women seem not to be in fear of their spaces being invaded. I can bet you that if a born male who is actually female commits a crime in Thailand he'd end up in the prison that is consistent with his born gender.

You know, I was going to respond to coco, but got distracted and the page refreshed. You've taken the words, point by point, out of my mouth. Don't you think someone can identify as another race, given the genetic plausibility of transgenderism?

America has a problem. Its the same country that seems to have aliens from outer space visiting them regularly, and is where you'd find the most people claiming the earth is flat. They even want to reintroduce the Bible in schools, when places like China have adopted the newer religion based around the scientific method. A rational nation will insist that your gender doesn't change just because you say so. A comionate nation will however accept you as Karen even though you were named Bob at birth.

Every country has its own version of "Space Aliens." I think America's problem is selling itself as something it is not, which is, earth's utopia. It is a society that is profit driven, not humanity driven. Humanity has a cancer concern. Americans go: How much is my return on investment? Americans cry about Billionaires and co-operations using silly gimmicks to evade tax, but have they asked themselves why? The shareholders want 10% per annum on investment. Shareholders are managers of investment banks, hedge funds, IRA, 401K, all contributed into by the same Americans complaining about capitalism. A snake biting its own tale. With one side of their mouth, they complain, on the other, they make deposits to investment and savings hoping they make 5-10% every year. Of course, there's always the greed on the part of cooperations.

As for transgenderism, which has been a thing for aeons, only entered the world stage when somebody on TikTok says he deserves to use the women's bathroom. The central left will lose women to the right if it continues to pander to the radical left and their ridiculous identity politics. If I may, my buda, do you identify as black? These days one never knows with you guys. hahaha.

I've in the past called this transgender issue an on-going conversation, which is bound to be resolved eventually. There's already reports of how dysphoric children and adults have faired over time, with some regretting their change and some not. And in the future, we'd have more evidence of how gender dysphoric children and adults have faired, which will inform those contemplating it, and show us how to handle them and the situation much better. It is however comical that a country that expouses freedom of speech and expression would discriminate against those who wish to express themselves as whatever gender they wish.

If only, the west will not always assume their ahead at everything, and go to Thailand and learn what it means to be transgender.

who told you the fathers are celibate?

The walls of Arabia fall down flat.

Acidosis:
Economy don hit them badly. How can a nation of over 180 million people have only about 200k active subscribers? Even that number is questionable given recent economic trends.

I think I now understand why many Nigerian movie producers and their audience ran to YouTube. YouTube is Netflix biggest competitor in Nigeria and that's because YouTube is free (with ads of course). So, Nigerians are neither subscribing on YouTube nor Netflix to see their Nollywood movies. Buying data is already by the grace of God. Make YouTube ($13/monthly) mandatory to a Nigerian audience and watch Nigerians return to NTA with the speed of light.

Dstv is not even an option because both the producer and the audience are not willing to go back to Egypt (i.e., decoders and cable TV).

Me self, I still dey pirate movies. hahah

GloriousGbola:


This is the time to ask Raum why he does not advocate the same patience he advocates for Tinubu 's policies for Joe biden

Oh wow! We could never have guessed this in a million years. mtcheew...

You can go and preach this gospel at the Series thread. We need more disciples over there.

Happy December to you.

hahaha..I will be there

Arcane season 1: Once in a lifetime Legendary Masterpiece.
Arcane season 2: Once in a lifetime Legendary Masterpiece.

Every single image, I mean every single clip from these animations, was brilliantly done. Don't get me started with the soundtrack and background music. Demi-gods came together to put these work of arts together---no doubt about it!

I, KK, pronounce Arcane as one of the greatest Animations produced in the west!

Every metric you can think of scores a solid 100/10.

cococandy:


She’s a woman they’re going to find something wrong with her. Hilary wasn’t likable enough plus “her emails” 🙄. Kamala wasn’t black enough and she laughed too much. I promise you AOC won’t be an exemption.

The only type of woman they would vote for president would be the typical misogyny foot soldier (if at all). But if those type of women live their lives according to the reality they are trying to vote in, they wouldn’t be running for president.

Didn't Hilary get the popular votes?

Believeintruth:



The fact that they are defending TETFUND is a no for me, even the north their complaints on the bill especially on the area of VAT is valid. Under this tax reform VAT is removed on agricultural produce, as good as it is, it creates a serious problem. The states will not earn tax on food produce, but rather the states where the food produce are processed and used will make more from VAT collected. That is the real issue here.
Also defending to TETFUND and increasing student loans is also not a good idea because that would mean full increment of school fees which would make tertiary education very expensive and keep so many Youth saddled with debts from student loans.

The agricultural sector is suffering. Removing the tax will help leave these business with extra revenue, which they can invest back into the business. In addition, the cost of agricultural products should no longer increase at skyrocketing rates. The policy is a sort of "we have our back against the wall." Those Northern states aren't even doing anything good with all the money they get from agriculture. The industry hasn't developed since I was born. It's better to leave that money in the hands of the farmers who'll do better with it, than give it to mallam, who'll only add two more wives and 30 kids, and place them on "gov. Salary."

The dumb northern gov. should get to work, so that they too can tax finished products.

As for student loans, America runs on similar MO, and it's doing remarkably. Think about it, the strain on parents will reduce immensely, and more Nigerians will have opportunity to get an education. If more people are educated, Nigeria will change for the better. Knowing what Nigerians are capable of, I'm sure, our growth will be astronomical. We should have sured South Africa by now, self.

interesting. With so many exceptions, I wonder how the Government is supposed to raise money to run the country.

I haven't read the entire bill yet, but seeing the progressive defund of TETFUND and the progressive funding of Student Loan sounds nice. Although, I suspect this would come with further increases in cost of education. Unless, the projects handled by TETFUND are near completion.

Those guys are many and they are the reason someone like Trump will keep wining. The worse part is that it is difficult to educate or correct them, they will defend their erroneous views with more ridiculous reasons and you will have no choice than to give up and leave them to their ignorance.

Maybe it's because they are dumb they also voted for Barack Obama. It's that same Dumbness that made them vote out Trump.

GloriousGbola:



hitler was a clown and an amusement until he wasnt. MBS was a teddy bear until he wasnt. ditto for assad.

"'Weimar Republic' is the name given to the German government between the end of the Imperial period (1918) and the beginning of Nazi (1933). Political turmoil and violence, economic hardship, and also new social freedoms and vibrant artistic movements characterized the complex Weimar period."


Referencing a time when the political landscape was entirely different. Same with that of Murtala Muhammed, and so on. This is just fearmongering.

weak men are the most dangerous when handed power. a transactional drifter who has spent his whole life bullying and cheating others. what do you expect?

You'll have to define what you mean by weak. I don't understand the context of this.

are you a nigerian or not?

Yep. So, I know stealing power to govern 200 million people is no joke. Not to talk more of 500 million plus with the strongest civil institutions in the world. Will all the army become stupid and just go "Yes, Donald Trump" come on.

More fear mongering.

has the military not regularly killed civilians without consequences? do you not realize the trump learnt all the wrong lessons from his first term. did you not read how he wanted to send the military after protesters but they refused? did you not read about how protester were being renditioned? now trump wants boards that will vet military officers for loyalty to him. so they will follow whatever order HE gives. if you know you will kill protesters and get a pardon - what happens next? you think i can kill you and nothing will happen starts in one day?

I also want to be able to summon angels, doesn't mean I can. You think all other republicans, those who equally want to contest for presidency will sit down and fold hands? Come on, man.

Again, drunken fearmongering. Same Trump who wasn't able to make Mexico pay for the wall? Hahaha.

if you are following the news musk is promising to gut different federal government regulatory agencies. well guess what - the same thing happened in nigeria in the 80s with muritala mohammad. some say that was the real beginning of the end of a competent civil service.

All those claims are ridiculous. You think all republicans and democrats are a hive mind? If Trump dares tries any of this things he says to get you guys pulling your hairs, in 2 days, he'll be the next JFK. There are republicans in the army, some don't like Trump. There are Democrats in the Army, many don't like Trump. Hell, even the Republican Party tried to clip Trumps wings...

do you understand the importance of regulation and regulatory bodies? do you know about thalidomide babies? in the 70s the FDA stopped the sale of thalidomide in the US. protecting a generation of kids from birth defects . these are the institutions that team trump wants to tear down in the name of 'efficiency'

I do, and I know no president can walk in and easily destroy what America has built over the past 500 years. Again, drunken fearmongering.

they are shouting about tariffs - well tariffs is simply the American word for import duty. i am sure you have seen how import duty has worked out in Nigeria

Yep. We know the purpose for tariffs. Europe has one to keep EV Chinese cars abandoned in China. Another joke. That will cripple Apple, Tesla, etc.... I don't think Elon wants to give up his "richest man" title.

You guys really think Trump is that scary... wow! Someone who couldn't MAGA in his first Tenure will suddenly MAGA great now? Don't you see Farmers already warning Trump to not touch their immigrant workers?

If Trump were in Nigeria, I would give him only a 15% chance of successfully over throwing all institutions. America? Minus 100%

The difference between Trump and Hitler is: One was able to make a world threat. The other almost wiped out his own people during COVID due to being an actual clown.

hahahah.... I see what you did there
