. So South west is more developed than Igbo land safe for Lagos? in ur ewedu induced brain abi

kids have really taken over this forum

#sad

Typical example of failed Nigerian education system, where did I say SW was developed? Anybody hyping one region over another in Nigeria is simply mad!

bigfish3k:
those people u mentioned up there are not from a region that ass licks somebody thats why they are not godfathers. ur region supports somebody whether he is wrong or right, but my region rebukes such leaders so its difficult becoming a godfather
so u are proud that ur region produced a leader that has set u up for the kills just for his ambition

before i forget ... "where are the cows"

What region is that? I mean such a region would be so developed that its citizens would never want to leave right

Online privacy is a myth created to fool you into a temporary state of comfort. It simply does not exist. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and even Nairaland, you leave a blueprint everywhere. The question you should be asking is what can they really do to you with just a photo? Is your life really that important that Russia would attempt to hack it? Come on, get over yourselves

Ugosample:
Obama was an advocate for more taxes and regulations for these corporations tho

the tax laws were made by the regulators especially
but those same regulators are in bed with the corporations

Do you see my point?

He was president and never truly addressed the loopholes in the tax code. He made it harder for businesses to exist in the U.S hence why a lot preferred to move operations overseas. The same way Trump revised the tax code, Obama could have done the same. Regulators or no regulators, the president can pull strings.

Ugosample:
America has the capability to take care of its domestic issues as well.....
there is no reason why they cannot run both
but prioritise domestic issues too.

One of the most problematic issues in America is the same problem that trump is not willing to touch
so that is another issue

When the regulators and the regulated are in bed
Corporate greed sets in.

What is the justifications fir Bezos and his likes making billions and millions and paying $0 in corporate taxes (federal?)
this is an aberration that Obama stood against but The republican party epitomize.

its wrong and immoral

So let me get this right, a business complies with the tax laws of a country which ended up benefiting them and that is called greed? Amazon paid zero in 2017 too before the new tax laws came into effect so I don't see how you can absolve Obama? Obama had 8 years and could do nothing about loopholes in the tax code, all trump did was make America a more competitive place for business, whether it works out or not still remains to be seen!

Ugosample:
I think you read the point where I said trump asking the other NATO members to pay more is a legitimate concern.

I think you read that.

America cannot reduce foreign investments

China is not reducing

Russia is not reducing

so why should America reduce

Why is China every where on earth spending billions on deals, investment and alliances IF foreign investment and global diplomacy does not matter?

China has been itching to increase their special drawing rights but the powers that be has clipped it
you think these powers don't know what they are doing?

the one who gives the most aid, have the most allies and the most investments becomes the captain of the ship

that is the way of the world

That is why America (Trump) should soft pedal

China, Russia can invest all they want, they are content because their people cannot really revolt, America is a completely different beast. Ignoring domestic problems just so they can maintain global recognition is the reason why the American political system is a mess right now. You mean to tell me America should be more worried about Iran rather than the multiple mass shootings occurring on its home soil every year? You mean they should ignore their 20 trillion debts and keep incurring more just so they can keep countries like Iran happy? Last last all of una go dey alright....lol

Ugosample:
you obviously don't understand how global political economy works

The middle east catching fire woukd spell doom for
American interest and assets in tht region

Iran MUST NOT be a monster

American presidents regardless of who it is will make sure of that.

As for reduced funding to NATO and UN

you must be joking right?

All trump wanted was for other countries to pay more which is a legitimate concern
but you have forgotten that The ideological war is far from over, and the Soviets are still itching to propagate their ideals

China is trying to do same, and they have to be clipped before they succeed

The dynamics in the international political economic space is very complex
And a simplistic solution you are offering is damaging

The strength of a country is the number of countries willing to associate with it

that is what China knows, and have been trying to buy association with African countries for example with all these concessions and poisonous loans

America recoiling into its shell will destroy America
those alliances America keeps in the Asia Pacific, Europe and the middle east need to be maintained for globalisation ask global prosperity to continue

not yo forget that the USD is the reserve currency

that's a lot of perks and the US hace to bear the responsibility too

Just listen to yourself, America should pay more because if they don't Russia and China would take over....lol. What I believe is that those countries in Nato are not paying their fair share because they see that America is handling it. All I'm saying here is that America should focus more domestic issues and reduce its foreign investments. America should not be policing the world, it should be an equal effort by all the Super nations.

Ugosample:
Smh

is this your answer?

wow

Yes, it's high time the U.S stops policing the world, if Iran wants to be a monster let it be a monster, let Europe and Asia handle them. The U.S should reduce funding to Nato, United Nations and so on. It's high time to focus more on domestic issues. Domestic terrorism and racism, police brutality and overall decay of American values.

Ugosample:
Are you telling me thst Obama, Putin, Ximping, Macron/Hollamde and Merkel are ALL stupod for reaching that deal with Iran?

10 years of negotiation?

Are you NoggerAreans jokers?

why is Europe still fighting to save the deal of it was such a bad deal?

Why ia China trying to save the dwal as well?

It's just shameful how many reason

.Trump is doing good in some respects

but pulling pulling out of the Iran deal was a mistake.

amongst many other mistakes he has made

Yes they are all foolish. This is exactly what Trump is saying, the leaders of those countries how much are they contributing to the deal? Just like Nato, how many of those big boyz are paying their fair share? One would think, the big countries closest to Iran and the Middle East would be willing to pay more for peace but rather they prefer to continue using the U.S as the scapegoat.

Ogaga87:
Trump's mantra of making American great again is a scam and delusional.. Denouncing deals that were struck during Obama's time, I thought America economy would have double the digits as at where Obama left it.. America was only great when the likes of China and Russia were not as powerful as they are today some years back due to their lack of advance military capabilities such as nuclear warheads..


The migrants that he has been fighting since assumption of office, are the the cause of America decline...?


Takes this today that America is truly strong when NATO gather around her.. Diplomacy is ruling today because when Russia think of fighting the US, NATO comes to mind, same thing with China..

Pure comedy....lol. Know one thing, America's military might is second to none, the willingness to protect its citizens even at the expense of the world cannot be underestimated. You keep talking about China & Russia not knowing that Nato or no Nato, the world's foreign currency reserve is in dollars. It is in the best interest of the world to keep the U.S strong and healthy. Trump went against Iran's deal and several Obama era policies because quite frankly they were nonsense! Iran had no intention of stopping its nuclear program and releasing such huge amounts of money only strengthened their resolve to fund terrorism. In Trump's mind countries like Iran & Pakistan will never change their hatred for America and America will never stop trying to crush them, so why give them ammunition to use against the U.S? U.S can give money to Iran but can't release the same money to help minority communities and infrastructure decay in places like Flint Michigan.....Rubbish!

Furthermore, you're talking about migrants as if you don't know the U.S has a serious problem. A country in debt of 20 trillion dollars has no business trying to police the world, they have no business encouraging rule breakers and those who make a mockery of their immigration laws. Yes illegal immigrants are part of the problem, everyone knows this but only Trump has the balls to go against political correctness which was determined to ignore the problem. How many of your brothers and sisters have gone into the U.S and stayed illegally, how many more have been denied at the embassy due to Nigerians' bad reputation? Have we forgotten the visa lottery so quickly?

Lastly, you thought America's economy would have double the digits? What gave you that impression? The majority of those who voted against Trump did so because they believed he would crash the economy, they foresaw 2 or more wars and overall destruction of America. Those who voted for him expected more jobs, higher stock market and tougher stance against illegal immigrants, so far I would say he's doing a good job keeping his campaign promises.

The Dems are yet to figure out Trump, he does things like this purposely to drive the news cycle. Everybody, supporter and critics alike can't get enough of him. He's the topic of discussion everyday and if you think he's going to change then you don't know him at all. What he said was for his base, which represents 47% of America, when you now add the power of incumbency and the fact that the Dems think a loud mouth woman is going to become president of the most powerful nation in the world, it is not too much to see Trump win another 4 years at the White House.

JeromeBlack:
So the Senators in the US house of reps that voted against Trump's racist comments hate America?

Is it only Aljazeera that reported the news? Do the Guardian and fox news also hate America?

There are no Senators in the U.S House of Reps.

Kanu should worry about his people and the lies he sold them. Well I trust my Igbo people, they can't be fooled forever! All the agitation for Biafra, all the incite and loss of lives, all for what? So Kanu you value your life pass the goal of Biafra? Yet Tinubu is the sellout? Yet Jagaban is the dishonest one? Yorubas are much wiser than this so called Kanu, you don't fight a war when you're not in a position to win. Let Yorubas get back the presidency and then we can listen to war criers and agitators.

The only next level is in your imaginary world! Even though Buhari is still the lesser of two evils, the next level is just plain nonsense! It's the same story over and over again and before we know it, another 4 years gone just like that! There's no hope for Nigeria because even with the purest of minds, the cabals will not let any meaningful progress occur, epileptic power, dangerous roads, insecurity and so on, my friend just keep that next level to yourself....Spits!

Telvin7:
Rooting is just another way of damaging your phone ......

Hahahahaha.....I've rooted every android I owned, the benefits far outweighs the risks. Apart from the early Motorola androids, none of my roots ever went wrong. I'm waiting for the Note 10 Pro for my next project.....Sweeter than palm wine

Telvin7:
guy same is on the Samsung .....too... The exynks version is the worst.......only iPhone processors are the best for gaming....
Even Samsung S10+ camera still have that over exposed issue....

iPhone xs Max camera is better

You might be right on exynos, I've always used Snapdragon but Samsung blows Apple right out the waters if you know how to root and overclock properly. Also I wouldn't trade android for the restrictive UX of iOS.

windofjustice:
The difference between the CPU/GPU performance of P30 PRO and Galaxy S10 plus is not even that MUCH for you to notice it while you use both phones. The performance will appear just the same. The difference in processing power between both phones while using both is like asking you to differentiate two sticks with one having a length of 100cm and the other having a length of 100.3cm when they kept a distance apart. You wouldn't tell the difference unless you do a close inspection using measuring tools. So I wouldn't call that a significant advantage.

When it comes to 4k videos, this type of videos are not even widely used yet because it consumes so much memory. HD videos are still widely used. Even the 4k TVs being sold today are not even used for 4k videos. So this is also not a significant advantage because many people wouldn't care about 4k videos.

Talking about the strength of the P30 pro, The P30 PRO actually significantly beats the galaxy S10 plus when it comes to camera power and superior fast wireless charging. A lot people care very much about good cameras and fast charging. So the P30 pro beating the S10 plus in camera specification and wireless charging is not a small edge over its competitor. The guys at Gsmarena know why they gave it a higher rating than S10 plus.

Ok I now get your point, you think you're discussing with a novice....lol. Try playing fortnight on ultra setting for 4 hours straight on Pro30 and tell me two things: frame loss? Phone feels hot? Perhaps you can look up every review out there for 3D mobile games/simulations in 2019. If the S10+ is not ranked top2, it will come in at the 3rd spot but guess what Pro 30 does not even make top 6. Before you say anything else, why don't you actually buy both phones and play with them, I have and I agree, for the average user you won't be able to tell the difference but for andoid and gaming enthusiast like myself, CPU+GPU along with optimization is EVERYTHING! We don't need to argue unnecessarily, people buy phones for different reasons but if you are going to call a phone "the best", it better be head and ashoulder above the rest.....PEACE!

This is just plain ridiculous! You can't force people t stay married not after all the social media comments, the guy having a child by other women and so on. Nigerian judges and sentimental reasoning, just rule according to facts not silly emotions!

windofjustice:
You are still making empty noise. It depends on the competition at the moment. The competition now involves P30 Pro, Samsung galaxy S10 plus and iPhone XS Max. The rating star of P30 PRO shows it is more an accomplished product than its competitors at this present time. Even though the P30 PRO lacked 4K at 60fps video capture the advanced good features it has covered up for what it lacked. That rating star means the sum of the good features minus the bad side.

You're drunk if you believe lower CPU, GPU and lack of 4k can be compensated by any other feature. You might as well by an iphone because of the apps....LMAO.....Anyways no need to argue, we keep going in circles

windofjustice:
You know you have lost this argument and you are simply running about looking for lifelines that don't exist.

Note 8 is now outdated and the rating star it has reflects its status among its competitors at that point in time. If Note 8 as a flagship was released the same time a flagship like P30 was released then YES it's rating star should signify it's better than P30 PRO.

LMAO.....Trying to back yourself out of a tight corner I see....lol. So you agree rating star is subjective and depends on factors at that moment. Basically rating stars are useless, actual reviews are much better than whatever stars.....Stay Enlightened!

windofjustice:
Since we are using data provided by Gsmarena and Gsmarena has given P30 Pro a higher rating star than its competitors then it's safe to say P30 is better than the rest. It's that simple.

Laughable! By your logic the Note 8 is a better phone than P30 Pro because it has a higher rating ....

windofjustice:
Oga you should be the one to go and check your own link again. The answer is right there for you to see. You simply checked only the CPU and GPU benchmarks and ignored other features, then you came here and posted a rubbish link. P30 Pro has only two competition. They are Samsung galaxy S10 plus and Apple iPhone XS Max. Now go back to gsmarena and check the rating star of P30 Pro and compare it with the rating stars of Samsung Galaxy S10 plus and Apple iPhone XS Max. After you have checked their rating stars then come back and reply me.

Did you scroll down to the last page and read the final thoughts and conclusions? Show me two areas where Pro 30 beats S10+? You're here talking about rating stars not knowing the only dings it suffered where for software issues which was fixedlast month, at least read man instead of jumping at vanity. You want to ignore CPU & GPU benchmarks but want to focus on rating stars? Pathetic! Once again, I'm not debating that Pro30 is a good phone but if you're going to call something the best, it better beat the competition black and blue!

shogz89:
name your best phone so i will help you bring our its own cons. even the s10 has its own cons from, Frustrating fingerprint reader experience (hopefully to be improved via an update).
Battery life is just average.
Low-light selfies are meh, portraits aren't as good as on the Plus (duh).
We wish the ultra wide cam had autofocus.
Bright night mode isn't up there with the Pixel's or Huawei's night modes.

No doubt all smartphones have their shortcomings but we are talking about the best here. How can you call a smartphone the best when it can hardly compete with the S10+ or Apple xMax?

windofjustice:
There are other features to consider and not only about processing power. Your post doesn't make sense.

View the attached link and stop ranting, it evaluates all the features comprehensively, such as no 4k at 60fps for video capture, no stereo speakers, selfie camera lacks fixed focus. Even when we remove the obvious processing/speed limitations for activities such as gaming or simulations, there's no way this is the best smartphone in the world! If you think otherwise, you must be high on Pepsi!

... Best Smartphone, yea keep dreaming. For those of you who care about benchmarks and actual ratings instead of noise, check this out:

You can pay 300,000 Naira for this or you can buy a superior phone from Samsung or Apple, choice is yours

Hedonini:
Stop being stupid with this everyone has a past nonsense. If you commit a crime, you should pay for it. Only God forgives. The law does not.

If he raped, maimed, or even killed anyone as a cultist, has he paid the price? Has he been arrested, tried in court and jailed for committing these CRIMES? If not, then you must be mad to wave off these repugnant crimes with the irritating "everyone has a crime" talk.

What evidence do you have? Anyone can say anything but unless you actually brought out real evidence in the courtroom, you get no justice! This case is not different from a prostitute who became a born again, a weed smoker/seller who got salvation, a thief who became president.

BigND:
Don’t mind them;
No other person has accused him of rape and no other teenager has made allegations apart from Busola who was actually 17+ at the time.
Ese Walters was about 24 years doing her Masters Degree program in London and titled her claim: “My affair with Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo”; she never claimed rape.
As for the Lady who came out a few days ago to claim that Biodun used one hand to pull down her trouser (not skirtoooooo) her pant, his trouser, his boxers while pinning her down with one hand, you can see that all kinds of stupid girls hungry for fame are just coming out of the woodwork to spew rubbish.
People don’t even understand what a Court trial is and think it is this rubbish they are talking here.
These witnesses will be cross-examined, trust me.
For those talking about character evidence against Biodun; what of Busola herself?? Didn’t she have two children out of wedlock Was that not FORNICATION? Her own fornication is established; Biodun’s is still allegation. What of her abortions All the allegations against Biodun amount at best to fornication/adultery.
Law Courts don’t pay attention to morality.
If they do, then multiple evidence of Busola’s activities as a RUNS-GIRL during her Youth Service in Bayelsa will also surface. There are guys willing to testify of what they did with her when she was a runs-girl. This will be a dirty fight and ya’ll painting Busola with rose colored petals will run away at the end.
Don’t misunderstand me; that someone is a prostitute is no excuse for rape; I am just answering those who say they have lined up 100 women to attack the character of Biodun at a trial forgetting that the character of Busola herself is not worth examining.
Take note too: from Busola’s story, she was introduced to Biodun when he was not yet married (though engaged according to her)
He was not a Pastor but running what she called “A Club” at Kwara Hotels, Ilorin for reformed prostitutes, cultists and other vagrants who had given their life to Christ, etc; This was where her sisters took her to when they started attending Biodun’s programs; COZA had not been established then.
He was not the Biodun of today but a young man of about 25 years or so.
It is not clear whether at the time of the alleged “rape” incident in her house, he was already married or had become a Pastor but those will come out in the witness box.
What is clear from her own account is that they were dating even if sex was not yet involved. Busola gave accounts of how he will come to their house and take her out for shopping, lunch, etc and even when her mother asked her on one occasion why she was going out with him, Busola said there was nothing wrong with it.
What is particularly interesting and which the Judge will want her to explain is how she never told anyone about the alleged rape at the time, RATHER, when Biodun’s wife put to bed, she visited them, slept in their house, cooked for them, washed for them and when he was going to drop her off the following day, they had sex again in the car. This are clearly stated in her video interview. You want to tell me that a Judge will accept that a Rape victim went on “omugwo” to the house of her attacker and felt comfortable and safe enough to sleep there, cooking and washing for them??!??
PLEASEEEEEEE
Did someone fry people’s brains
Law and cases are not determined on feminism and sentiments but cold hard facts and defined parameters.
And if the case fails as it will certainly do, Busola and TIMI will be exposed to claims for millions of Naira in damages.
These allegations were activated by MALICE.
Busola herself stated in her interview that she had to tell her story because some people were already accusing her of adultery by sleeping around with Pastors and spending Church money. They had advised TIMI to go for DNA Paternity test for their three children.
It was when her elder sister called to tell her that news of her alleged infidelity was trending on the internet that she quickly recorded and released the video interview.

What is particularly interesting and which the Judge will want her to explain is how she never told anyone about the alleged rape at the time, RATHER, when Biodun’s wife put to bed, she visited them, slept in their house, cooked for them, washed for them and when he was going to drop her off the following day, they had sex again in the car.

This is the main gist, any lawyer worth 1/4th of his title would use this to tear her case apart. It is just so absurd!

TheStarsAlign:
I understand you sir but you are using emotional analysis but I'm talking economics. When the time eventually comes you will remember this conversation.

Pls note that neither the military nor war was responsible for the stock market crash.

No I'm using historical and economical context. Stock market is a true market dictated not by individuals alone but market indices, real estate in Nigeria is not bounded by these factors. Sure you can score cheap deals from sellers who are desperate but overall prices will either stay stagnant or increase like they've done every 3 to 5 years or so. When you look at it from the micro to macro level, e.g prices of building materials to price of lands to price of rent or actual building construction, you'll easily see the correlation. You don't even have to look at it from real estate alone, what was the price of Gala 5 years ago? Price of bread or rice? This is 9ja, where some economical theories have met their demise

TheStarsAlign:
The fact that we haven't really experienced it yet doesn't mean its not possible. Economies operate in cycles - the boom and the burst. The boom may be sustained for a long period but eventually the burst must come (even if its for a short period). It's a self correcting mechanism. There are number of possible causes but that is beyond this comment.

While many had made fortunes, a lot of people didn't know anything about it until the market crashed in 2006/2007. People were badly hurt that they are unwilling to step back into ring even till now 2019. That was a stock market correction. Likewise, there can be real estate market correction.

What I don't understand however is how the write-up is mixing the UK up with Nigeria.

Barring military takeover or war, it won't happen in Nigeria because most people buy their houses outright hence they dictate the price it sells. Coupled with the fact that most building commodities rise yearly such as cement, iron, etc, there will always be demand for already built houses especially when the cost of building one from scratch continues to rise.

Kennydoc:
Well, it's been consistently mentioned that teenagers are involved, therefore there may be other cases of statutory rape hanging on his neck.

For me as a Christian, I am as concerned about his extra marital affairs as I am about the rape. He is a pastor, and should lead the church by example. Go and read 1 Tim 3:1-2. If he can't control his sexual urges, then he should resign as a pastor rather than bringing shame to the body of Christ.

This right here got nothing to do with religion, once the claim makes it to court forget the religious angle, this man will be fighting for his life! To say the pastor is unworthy of being a religious leader is one thing, to say he's a serial rapist is another. The later can lead him to years of eating slightly cooked beans.

wirinet:
Eye witness accounts are as valid as any physical evidence. Mrs Dakolo mention many other people involved in the alleged rape, like her sister, brother, mother and a few church elders. All would be examined and cross examined in court.

To lay out a pattern and history of rape and sexual abuse by the pastor, many other alleged victims would be encouraged to testify in court, examples Ese Walters, Tunmise Oluyede, and others. It's going to be a very messy affair.

You've watched too much tv, come back to reality. This is 9ja! By busola's own testimony none of the people you mentioned knew anything about the incident till long after, even the sister who was supposedly in the house, did not hear a peep, she did not even confide in her even after the second incident. So calling them eye witness is FALSE. Furthermore, did Ese claim the pastor raped her or that they slept together? Tunmise or whatever her name is should also boldly explain her case, the point is simple, don't be so eager to believe everything you hear. Don't be so eager to throw the word RAPE around when some of the testimonies are from sex partners seeking revenge. So far Busola's case is the only minute possibility of actual rape because it is well detailed, let Tunmise also come out and give detailed analysis, maybe then the pastor can start shaking and fearing for his life.

Kennydoc:
Did you watch the video of yesterday? Do you know that there are many other victims, and some of them may be willing testify against Biodun? He may not be convicted solely on Busola's case, but on the cases of others who will join in the suit. Releasing that video was strategic in bringing out more victims who couldn't talk before, whose events are more recent, and who may have more tangible evidence.
Let us just sit still and watch events unfold.

Many more victims of rape? Yea right? It's not enough that a case of 20 years ago with no proof is successful in bringing him down now we are calling him a serial rapist with many victims? Please don't confuse extra marital affairs or sleeping around with RAPE, anyways let it all come out in court. If the bastaard is guilty, let him hang but if innocent let the liars spend some time in jail.
