Politics / Failed State 2030: Nigeria - A Case Study by Kobojunkie: 9:41pm On Sep 16
This monograph describes how a failed state in 2030 may impact the United States and the global economy. It also identifies critical capabilities and technologies the US Air Force should have to respond to a failed state, especially one of vital interest to the United States and one on the cusp of a civil war. Nation-states can fail for a myriad of reasons: cultural or religious conflict, a broken social contract between the
government and the governed, a catastrophic natural disaster, financial collapse, war, and so forth.

Nigeria with its vast oil wealth, large population, and strategic position in Africa and the global economy can, if it fails disproportionately affect the United States and the global economy. Nigeria, like many nations in Africa, gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1960. It is the most populous country in Africa and will have nearly 250 million people by 2030. In its relatively short modern history, Nigeria has
survived five military coups as well as separatist and religious wars, is mired in an active armed insurgency, is suffering from disastrous ecological conditions in its Niger Delta region, and is fighting one of the modern world?s worst legacies of political and economic corruption. A nation with more than 350 ethnic groups, 250 languages, and three distinct religious affiliations? Christian, Islamic, and animist Nigeria?s

135 million people today are anything but homogenous. Of Nigeria's 36 states, 12 are Islamic and under the strong and growing influence of the Sokoto caliphate. While religious and ethnic violence is commonplace, the federal government has managed to strike a tenuous balance among the disparate religious and ethnic factions. With such demographics, Nigeria's failure would be akin to a piece of fine china dropped on a tile floor. it would simply shatter into potentially hundreds of pieces. Poor investment in the nation's critical infrastructure and underinvestment in health care, education, science, and technology are all leading to a brain drain. in which Nigeria's most talented and educated citizens are leaving the country. This will leave a future Nigeria even poorer. Nascent attempts to address electoral and governmental corruption are meeting with some success and hold promise for the future.

Recent meetings between the president and insurgent groups may, over time, help resolve some of Nigeria's most intractable and dangerous internal conflicts. The population's disappointment in its government has not appreciably shaken its faith in democracy. Elections are and will likely remain an important part of Nigerian life as they, despite the odds, provide the people hope that they can make a difference in Nigeria
struggles to succeed.

Nigeria becoming a failed state is not a foregone conclusion. However, should the oil-rich state of Nigeria, a nation likely to provide up to 25 or 25 percent of US light, sweet crude oil imports by 2030, fail, then the effect on the United States and the world economy would be too great to ignore. The threat that failure poses to a quarter billion Nigerians in terms of livelihood, security, and general way of life could quickly spread and cause a humanitarian disaster of previously unimagined proportions. Regardless of the extent of the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the wake of failure, the hard work to repair the damage could take two generations to make Nigeria viable again.

This failed-state scenario is one of four that comprised the Blue Horizons study in 2008. It explores the implications of what it would mean for the US Air Force to respond to a failed state in 2030, one with a large population that has resources vital to the Western world. The capabilities necessary to detect threats, characterize the environment, rapidly deploy and protect responders, and sustain operations long enough to create conditions for the indigenous people to resurrect their fallen nation are all issues that need to be explored. From these, this monograph helps the study team understand what types of technologies the US Air Force should pursue to enable it to lead and prevail against the challenges and surprises posed by future failed states.

■ Now, let's talk about the Governor's track record. Can you point out a single project that he's fully completed?Peter Mba has a habit of merely scratching the surface on projects. There’s not one that he’s truly seen through to completion. Take the Smart School initiative, for example, aside from the model he completed in Owo, his hometown, where else has he finished anything? And what about the health centers in Enugu? Where are they? If you're looking for an example of a lazy individual, it's someone who juggles numerous tasks without giving any of them the attention they need to be done properly.

If you truly want to identify a fool, just observe how they resort to insults when trying to defend themselves or their paymasters.
WOW... I guess the state is really a construction site.

■ You clearly do not stay in Enugu if not you would know that water is now available to at least 60% of the estimated location. Roundabout is the least of his project. You forgot smart schools? You forgot advance health centers in every ward, you forgot international conference center? You forgot the Model park being constructed ? You forgot all the roads being constructed? Are you Ignorant or just plain stupid?
Can you please include information about these "smart schools", "advance health centers", and "international conference centers"? It would be right to investigate it all to understand what is real from what is the usual propaganda and lies that are typical of Nigeria. undecided
Politics / Re: RCCG Collects 1million Naira To Bury Their Pastor On Rccg Burial Ground by Kobojunkie: 8:26pm On Sep 16
MorataFC:
■ Many people comment without thinking, posing nonsensical questions to disparage the Body of Christ. I question whether you or the persons you are defending genuinely understand Christianity, as your reasoning resembles that of a primary 2 school student. How can you ask non-existent questions? "Is there anywhere Jesus Christ or his disciples asked anyone for money for burial??"
■ Consider this: Did Jesus ever attend burials? No, instead of attending burials, Jesus raised people from the dead. This highlights His divine power and compassion. You too said this ;👇 " Jesus Christ never charged any human for food", Yes, It's true Jesus never charged anyone for food, so does this mean churches should responsible for daily free food to their congregation? How old you self?
■ Regarding burial grounds, orthodox churches often have designated areas, which may come with fees. If one cannot afford these fees, they can opt to bury their deceased on their private land..
■ Simple as abc, this straightforward concept shouldn't be hard to understand.
1. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 We can't ask non-existent questions but somehow you can answer non-existent questions? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

2. If Jesus Christ never attended any burials nor charged anyone for burials and Jesus Christ also never charged anyone for food.... how then do you even begin connecting your churches which charge people for burials or food to Jesus Christ? What the heck have your churches which are glorified business centers — they pretty much charge for everything from their members — to do with Jesus Christ who never charged His followers for anything? undecided

3. Jesus Christ is famous for saying, "Let the dead bury their dead." Your burial ground rituals which apply only to the dead — those who do not belong to Jesus Christ since His followers are instead referred to as the living — have nothing to do with Jesus Christ but your church business enterprises and their bottom line. undecided

4. Your reasoning is severely destroyed from the roots which is why you can't even see the obvious disconnect between your belief and the reality of this man who you pretend your belief associates with. This inability to critically process logic is typical of people under religious delusion, mind you. undecided
Politics / Re: Newly Graduated Medical Doctors Appreciate Ex Gov Yahaya Bello For Scholarship by Kobojunkie: 7:48pm On Sep 16
danladi02:
.In a public letter addressed to the former governor, the students stated, “when we faced the unfortunate challenge of losing accreditation at our former institution, your divine emergence as Governor, swift intervention and the decision to transfer us to other medical schools were not just acts of leadership but of compassion and commitment to the future of Kogi State's healthcare sector. The efforts of your administration in ensuring that we were successfully transferred to institutions where we could complete our medical training is a testament to your dedication to education and the well-being of your citizens”.

One of the graduates, Dr. Omeiza Abdulmaleek Usman, shared his gratitude, acknowledging the former governor's unwavering commitment to their education. He also extended his appreciation to the Kogi State Government, Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, Dr Mrs Folashade Ayoade Arike, the former Vice Chancellors Prof Hassan Isah and Prof Muhammed Abdulkadir Sanni, Prof Mariat Tenushe, the former provost of the medical college Prof Margaret Araoye, Prof Akogu Simon, Prof Edino, late Dr Emmanuel Busayo Agbana, Dr Omotosho and other management staff of PAAU for their efforts in facilitating the transfer process.
“Our success was made possible by the support of former Governor Yahaya Bello, who generously provided scholarships and covered our tuition and transfer fees. His belief in our potential has been crucial in achieving this milestone,” said Dr Olugbemiro in another social media post.

Politics / Re: Nigeria’s Inflation Rate Falls To 33.15% by Kobojunkie: 7:20pm On Sep 16
voiceoftheupcom:
■ This decrease indicates a positive trend in the nation’s economic performance as it is the second consecutive month that inflation has decreased. The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) claims that the decline in inflation is a result of a slower rate of increase in average price levels when compared to the prior month. “In August 2024, the headline inflation rate further eased to 32.15 per cent relative to the July 2024 headline inflation rate of 33.40 per cent,” the NBS reported in its Consumer Price Index (CPI). Eyes Of Lagos reports,
The inflation rate for August 2024 was 6.35 percentage points more than the 25.80% reported in August 2023, despite the month-over-month improvement. This suggests that the inflation rate has significantly increased over the previous year.

In August, the month-over-month inflation rate was 2.22%, indicating a moderating rate of price increases from 2.28% in July.
Furthermore, food inflation hit 37.52% in the same time frame, underscoring the ongoing pressure on food costs.
“Month-over-month headline inflation was 2.22%, while food inflation in August 2024 stood at 37.52%,” the NBS stressed.
Inflation is bound to experience a fall when the demand for goods falls. With many Nigerians no longer able to afford many of the essentials, there is bound to be a fall in the price of goods. Given the state of the economy, I don't believe it is something that we ought to celebrate. undecided

Melagros:
COMRADES, now that Sowore is back, the peaceful protest is going to be more serious
Peaceful protest ke? Any protest that does not include a divisive move by the electorates to fire — recall members of National Senators and Reps and have them prosecuted immediately afterward — is likely not going to achieve much more than the other protest was able to. Nigerians are already more than aware that these thieves in power are not going to listen to them. So, going out to do more of the same is likely not going to lead anywhere. undecided

Politics / Re: Tackling Lagos Flood Crisis by Kobojunkie: 5:52pm On Sep 16
johnca:
Overwhelmed Drainage Systems: Lagos' outdated drainage system, designed in the 20th century according to Pulitzer Center, cannot cope with the surge in population and increased rainfall (Precious, 2023). Shallow gutters and canals overflow, leaving water with nowhere to go. This fragmented system channels wastewater from homes into the streets, ultimately ending in canals.
Sand Mining: Lagos' construction boom relies on sand, but at a steep cost. Beaches are being mined for sand, weakening coastlines and destroying vital ecosystems that shield the city from storms and rising seas. Nearly 60% of Lagos' wetlands have vanished in a decade, worsening floods that displace thousands (UNU-EHS, 2023). Lax regulations on sand mining prioritize short-term gain over the long-term safety of Lagos communities.
Waste Management: Indiscriminate waste disposal by residents clogs these already inadequate drains, further worsening the situation. Plastic, nylons, and household waste become barriers, preventing water from flowing freely
.
Here's a technology I came upon that could greatly reduce the time of building the needed drainage in Lagos, at the same time helping in directing waste from the drainages to a receiving point where much of it can be processed or at least captured before the water is then directed back into the capture zones. undecided

■ Many people comment irresponsibly with simplistic and myopic thinking, failing to consider the relevance to the subject matter and giving us misquided comparisons. I, too, could pose 1001 frivolous questions on the issue based on the question you asked. For example: Is there any record of Jesus paying for food? Do you pay for your food today abi you are still eating free food?
Did Jesus pay for the donkey he used for transportation? Do you pay for your transportation today abi dey still dey carry you like a baby?
Is there any mention in the Bible where Jesus pay for house rent? Do you pay rent today abi na free house you still dey live? I could go on and on. Please contribute thoughtful insights, rather than biased opinions against the church
