Empiree: You are still on this?. I know it pains you. Do you know that it is atheists that actually put that up on the internet?. And Christians themselves crafted blasphemous images of Jesus. By default Christians and some atheists are guilty?.
And please quote me where I said the guy should be killed for blasphemy?. I said I support blasphemy law. Judgement derives from it is up to the govt. What's wrong with you?
You support blasphemy law that clearly states that the punishment for blasphemy is death but you dont want blasphemers killed?
Why are you lying and contradicting yourself?
Also, why did you insult Jesus? By your own reasoning, you should be killed!
Lanrexlan, Sino, stalwert, antichristian, rilwayne001 please come and kill your muslim brother Empiree since you all believe in blasphemy laws
I run a manufacturing business and a trading business. The biggest challenge in my manufacturing business is not power, or infrastructure, the biggest challenge is getting honest staff. Everyone we hire appears to be on a mission to steal as much as possible. Inflated invoices, recording less than the actual number of units produced. The worst part of it all is that all the fraud we've uncovered is not done by a single person, it's usually many staff who collude with each other, from production, to sales, to finance, even top management.
There was a year I overhauled management 3 times in a year. But I've found a solution sha, I now use Indian management. So competent, so honest and so straightforward. I thought they were expensive at first with all the visa fees, accommodation, house staff, but now that losses due to staff theft have been reduced to a minimum, and efficiency increased, the Indian management has turned out to be cheaper than the previous Nigerian management.
Now, all sensitive positions involving money go to Indians. Nigerians are only allowed in non-sensitive positions. I used to criticize companies like Dangote Group that hire so many Indians when there are many unemployed Nigerians, but now, I understand their decision.
My biggest challenge in the trading business is the same, getting honest staff. The form of trading occurs in the open market, and involves staff having access to huge sums of money running into a few millions. I know how much I pay to security companies to provide escorts for the staff, not to prevent robbery, but to ensure that the staff go straight to the bank to deposit the money after the day's sales and not disappear with my money. This money spent on security companies is even enough to be declared as profit. We have to spend on CCTV, biometric scanners and other things that wouldn't be needed if staff weren't looking for the slightest opportunity to steal.
It got so bad at a point that my main criteria for employing staff was no longer competency but honesty. At least, competency and skills can be learnt, but once you're dishonest, you're dishonest.
We always complain of the economy and how they're no jobs. I know people abroad who would have loved to set up job creating businesses in Nigeria but they won't because they can't get any trustworthy person to run it.
I know people in Nigeria with so much money, they want to start factories and other job-creating businesses but they can't because they are occupied elsewhere and can't get any trustworthy person to run the business. So instead of investing in the real sector and creating jobs, they'll just buy treasury bills, while the thieves are shouting no jobs.
Many big businesses would have been born in Nigeria if we could engage in partnerships, but we can't because you can't trust anyone. This is one advantage the Indians and Lebanese have over us in Nigeria. They can pull resources together and do mega-business, unlike Nigerians that because only one person must do everything since we can't partner, end up with small, tiny businesses.
Start a poultry and they will be stealing your eggs. Some will even go ahead to be killing the chickens so that they'll be allowed to take them home.
Start an entertainment/viewing/game center and they'll be pocketing your money. On the days you're around at the business, the money realized will be x10 of the money realized when you're not around. Because they're eating your money.
Lease out a vehicle to a driver to use and watch as he'll finish you.
Start a restaurant, the same thing will happen. More than half of the total food ingredients will end up in their personal kitchens.
Even ordinary provisions shop, they will find a way to steal.
You'll see them with that their evil, wicked saying "na where person dey work, na there e dey chop, na e make dem dey callam workchop/workshop"...... Just imagine, justifying theft at work.
And you'll see these people pointing their crooked fingers at politicians when they're not any different. I usually say the reason most Nigerians haven't stolen billions of government money, is simply lack of opportunity.
Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.
Many of those corrupt Nigerians are christians and muslims.
It seems religion does not necessarily stop corruption
Chachess6: You tag Candace Owen as an idiot Kai ! Nairaland can boost people's ego oooo Welcome to nairaland where fools give advice
Candace Owens was shouting MAGA (Make America Great Again) for 3 years, starting from 2016. In 2019, she was asked to defend MAGA by telling the black audience when America was ever great- she couldnt answer.
Candace Owens that was shouting Make America Great for 3 years could not state when America was ever great in the past-
DissTroy: Why Trump? A question I've answered in more ways than one? He tells it as it is. -He's not a political jobber but a business man. One of his campaign slogans was, "Let's run American like a business". Meaning, if it's not paying us, we'd stop investing. America was losing money to the needless wars so he started withdrawing. -First President not a start a war in 40 years. -Negotiated the Israel-Arab peace deals (further reducing the chances of a full-blown war in the whole of that region). -Exposed the hypocrisy of the mainstream media for what it is. (I did mention bias from either side earlier on). -Before Coronavirus, increase reduced the unemployment rate to 3.5 percent (lower than Obama could). -Demystified the office of the POTUS. -Keeps interacting with any and everyone directly via social media and refused to insulate himself from the people. -Bold and fearless (you read of Buhari admitting Trump asked him why he was targeting adherents of a certain religion). -Put Iran in its place. (Paying Iran billions like Obama did was a betrayal to all peace-loving people and countries as Iran sponsors terrorism). Trump was the answer to being tired about Obama's betrayal (of peace, of blacks, of the expectations in 2008...). I could go on.
With Trump, you'd know he's the one in control and you know who you are dealing with. With the others before him, you know they are being controlled with party leaders calling the shots.
You and Candace Owens are very alike. Both of you have the special ability to be both well spoken and idiotic at the same time.
Every single point about Trump in your comment is a half truth. LIES!!!
1. Lie number one- Trump is the first president to avoid starting a war. FALSE!! Obama did not start any war.
2. Lie number two- Trump is a business man or he runs america like a business. FALSE!! Trump is a daddy's boy that inherited money and has declared bankctrupcy more than once. He is currently running america like his inheritance and has overspent, embezzled and left America in bigger debt.
3. Lie number three- Negotiated Isreal-Arab peace deals. FALSE!! Those business deals between Isreal and other Arab countries were already in place years before Trump's presidency. Furthermore, the only peace deal that matters in thst region is between Isreal and Palestine- which Trump fails at
salford1: He is an IPOB. Not all Igbos subscribe to the mental retardness of IPOBs. He understands only curse or swear words, i guess in Yoruba. He hides behind that to display his ancestral madness on Nairaland. Once he runs out of his 200 naira browsing credit on his tecno phone, he would be gone for like another 2 weeks to work as a load carrier at ariaria market
SonofLincoln: No need dialogueing with that human crap. He inherited a curse of poverty from his ancestors hence his cursing like a sailor. These guys are not delightful to the eyes with their Okrika outfit combined with their multi colored faces and brown tooth. The worst of human basura.
rockcitie: Righteousness89 don't you think you're being a hypocrite by always avoiding these kind of posts?? Are you trying to tell me that this so-called Pastor was not also preaching the word of God to his congregation??
That is why I personally don't take you seriously. You spam any thread that has to do with innocent people dying claiming that you're creating awareness for the rapture.
You spam BBNaija threads calling it evil.
Why do you then avoid threads where pastors do the opposite of what they preach or doesn't the trumpet apply to everyone??
Righteousness89, you have been called. Come and answer.
DissTroy: There's something similar about you and Salford1 /Salford - you both created new monikers specifically for this thread because you are hiding your history on Nairaland. How does it feel like having to maintain multiple personas on a seemingly faceless platform? Easy for you since you already have MPD.
Lol.......You are very wrong when it comes to me and my many monikers. I think over 7+ years on nairaland, I have almost 30 usernames.
I was originally mostly located on the religion section of nairaland. I was there promoting humanism (and by extension, atheism). At that time, atheists were quiet on nairaland and atheism was new. Christians were frustrated and angry at my antics. My problems started when I ventured into the islam section.
It was in the islam section that I started getting banned for just stating that I dont believe in islam. The tyrannical moderator at the time started banning me for 100 years. If one does not spell "Allah" with a capital "A", the moderator gives a ban. It was the incessant banning that led to my numerous usernames being created in defiance. I have 2 records on nairaland.
1. The first ever person to be permanently banned on nairaland 2. The first ever person to receive 100 years ban
...all because I am very open in my disagreement with organised religion.
DissTroy: Like I stated, anybody can fake bank receipts. Just install Canva and PicsArt on your phone. Heck! There are a thousand ways criminals do this. My antecedence on Nairaland has proven I never claim what I am not. I won't even brag about material wealth of status. I'd go on about intelligence though as it is the basis I choose my friendly acquaintances.
The most vocal and visible feminist on Nairaland between 2013 and 2016 was eventually exposed as a 17-year-old boy living with his parents. He gave proof before then that he was actually a female. Family Section folks should know this story. There was a case of a guy who uploaded an account statement of 18 million in 2016. He got away with it for weeks until he was busted. He was even every believable.
Heck! On Twitter, there have been thousands of scandals involving fake bank balance. It's the oldest trick in the fraudster playbook. Controversial internet antecedence has proven that anyone always quick to claim he'd want to post his or or her networth unasked is trying really hard to cover for something Something they don't have.
Main point: Finish what you started, Salford1. Post your account balance. You're standing in the dock now with your credibility at stake. Prove yourself worthy to this jury. We wait.
@ bold- Damn.....a lot of fake people on nairaland! I had to laugh....
salford1: Professional Wikipedia editor with zero in his bank account
Instead of him to find something worthwhile doing to succeed in life to measure up and stop calling others yahoo boys, he hangs around Trump's thread and the olosho (prostitutes) thread on Nairaland. If this is not a curse, then I don't know what it is
Dont forget, he is also a professional Nairaland wordsmith who excels in typing long-winded trash.
DissTroy: That's what you get when you try to duel with a wordsmith. I malleate and articulate words as easily as Hillary Clinton deletes incriminating emails from her private servers.
Unlike Dementia Joe Biden, stringing words in real-time into rationalized sentences comes comes easy to me and I don't need a teleprompter with stalled, timed wordings to reply anyone. Does it worry you that I'm taking a dump on the racist, crime-supporting career-politician heroes of yours? Long may your pain continue!
Wow....stroking your ego with delusions of grandeur. A classic case of dunning-kruger effect- overconfidence in ignorance.
DissTroy: AbdulSleazy, I don't need to stroke my ego. There's nothing I've claimed I would do that I haven't done on Nairaland over the years. Testimonies abound by active Nairalanders, and even the moderators. Ask your buddy(ies) Korpsemen / Gedunidiot - they can relate from my previous moniker.
You, on the other hand, are quasi-literate with the rational ability of a starving cricket. You can't distinguish lies from truth. You lack the mental capacity to sieve reality from the make-believe world dreamt up by the alternate news agencies you worship. You'd never be able to form your own opinion or think for yourself because you lack the sentience and rationality possessed by advanced primates. You are cursed to be a lapdog - a soundboard for propaganda. You'd always have less than a billionth impact of a 2-gram-sized piece of rock thrown into the Atlantic Ocean.
You're the most forgettable moniker on Nairaland. Your replies are as drab and mundane as muddy water in a pothole on some deserted road. Nobody would remember you. Not physically or online. You aren't even a blithe or a stain - you'd always be nothing more than a speck of dust to be brushed off this canvas of our human existence.
Truth is, in the grand scheme of things, you do not exist any more than a wounded worker ant in an anthill did. Go offline for a little as a week on here or on any social media platform you are currently active on and you'd be forget. You add no value. Nothing comes from nothing.
This, AbdulSleeky, is your horrible reality. This is what you'd have to live with daily till your mortality ends.
You sat down to type all that nonsense?
Lol.....you have some mental problems. Visit a psychiatrist as soon as possible.
DissTroy: Salford would slip. They always slip. They get too confident in their lies that they forget the connecting information footprints they leave in their wake. It's pure behavioural psychology - people always give up their real selves in their moments of the greatest elation, anger or sadness. He's gotten too confident and wants to take it a step further by posting falsified documents.
The mûppet doesn't realize Nairaland ranks very high on the internet and even deleted information on Nairaland gets archived on a staging website (a clone of Nairaland) which Séun has been using to back-up Nairaland database every month since 2014 when the last major hack happened on Nairaland.
The crazed dingbát doesn't realize how quickly Nairaland pages get archived on web.archive.org. Stating he'd slip is akin to predicting nightfall - it's a certainty.
basilico: A Wikipedia edit is correct for as long as the editors deem it fit
Yes they talked about cooperation against Iran. Between the two states? I offered Obama bait so that you could detour and avoid admitting that there were hostilities between them. You are doing your level best to make that leftist Obama look good.
You are the one making a fanatic of yourself.
How can you be praising Trump for a peace deal with two countries who were already peaceful between each other long before Trump's presidency?
basilico: Hear you . They been cooperating . But no diplomatic missions between the two. No direct flights between the two. The Israeli passport is not accepted in 16 countries Syria, Sudan, Iran, Iraq, Yemen and Libya all forbid Israeli passport holders from entering their countries, along with 10 other nations : Algeria, Bangladesh, Brunei, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
There is no official restriction on entry to the UAE for anyone because they are Jewish, as far as we know. ... Dubai is generally perceived as being the most tolerant, and if you do have a evidence of a visit to Israel in your passport, try and enter the UAE in Dubai rather than other emirates.
Stop making a fool of yourself by trying to make Obama look like he ever did anything useful in his life.
See this liar.
Israel and UAE have been cooperating since the beginning of Obama's presidency.
After the inauguration of U.S. President Barack Obama in 2009, the Israeli and UAE ambassadors to the United States jointly urged the incoming administration's Middle East adviser to adopt a tougher line on Iran.[1] Obama lifted sanctions on Iran after signing the JCPOA.[18]
In September 2012, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan in New York. Although they agreed on the threat of Iran, the UAE refused to publicly improve relations without progress in the Israel-Palestine peace process.[19]In 2015, the Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer, briefed his UAE counterpart Yousef Al Otaiba on Israel's opposition to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and urged the UAE to take a more active role in opposing the deal.[1]
Close to the end of Obama's presidency, U.S. intelligence agencies became aware of a phone communication between the two countries' officials, including between Netanyahu and a senior UAE leader, and a meeting between Netanyahu and UAE leadership in Cyprus, which was focused on cooperation against Iran. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%E2%80%93United_Arab_Emirates_relations
basilico: Yes Israel has had ongoing hostilities with UAE. They have never been at war. One no Israel airline plane could ever land there, but now there are direct flights between the two. Two the opening of diplomatic missions between the two.
Read between the lines.
Look at this liar.
1. Isreal and UAE have been cooperating since the beginning of Obama's administration. They both met with his administration together.
2. One could always fly from israel to UAE with other airlines eg Ukraine airlines.
basilico: Peace is the cessation of hostilities. Additionally peace is normalization of previously erstwhile relations between two parties. Whatever agreement Israel and Middle east countries have made recently amounts to setting up the most comprehensive peace process over there How is it fake, unless you know something we do not?
As for Israel and Palestinians Their path to peace has always been inhibited by the neighboring countries stance's and to a larger extent the belligerence of both parties. Maybe you have a solution we have not heard in English. We'd be glad for your translation.
America is in turmoil yes. Is it the republicans rioting, killing and setting fires to homes, businesses etc? Its the democrats funding the violence aided by the media slanted coverage. The democrats can stop the violence in one day. There were protests all over but the violence is mostly in democrat run areas.
(take not of the bold part of your comment)
Were there ongoing hostilities between Israel and UAE? The answer is "NO"
So, by your own definition, the peace deal between UAE and israel is fake. Trump is a fraud!
See how you destroy your own point? Crazy Trump cultist!!
basilico: Almost two pages of how Trump will lose What went wrong.
Nothing about Morrocco opening direct flights with Israel.
No mention of Antifa blocking emergency room entrances afer two LA sheriff deputies were shot in the head point black , with antifa shouting "They should die".
No mention of Mueller team wiping 30 phones bu getting them into airplane mode and entering the wrong password 11 times to brick them. It takes 156 minutes to do this .The OIG had asked them for their phones during his review. Andrew Weissman bricked 2 of his three phones.
No mention of the fact that 50% of Actblue donations for 2019 came from untraceable anonymous unemployed donors: hint money laundering.
No topic on the several arsonists caught setting up wild fires in California with Obama and Gov Newsom trying to blame climate change.
Pathetic.
Trump's fake peace deals.
You Trump fans are very crazy. Imagine your house being on fire and instead of quenching the fire, you are cleaning chairs in your backyard.
Israel is literally occupying Palestine and causing war crimes. Trump's answer is to empower isreal by completing international business deals that were already started without him.
Trump's own country (USA) is in turmoil and unrest. He is doing peace deals for other countries, who dont even need the peace deals because they are already peaceful between each other.
You no mean am... you don dey pain in there as*s be that.
Lol, me I got Christian Mom but Muslim Dad. So I know both perspectives. I'm kinda Agnostic and i know say them no too dey enjoy my open carefree attitude towards religious and spiritual topics.
I'm not a really spiritual person and base most of personal beliefs/ideology with logic or science. In other words, I no dey put religion for Head.
No problem.
They frustrated me in the islam section and I gave them twice the frustration back.
Many muslims even stopped debating on the islam section because of me. Lol.
LMAO at bolded. Na thunder go fire your mouth there. I resemble radicalised person abi. you dey craze.
You say that one cos of my Islamic background or what?? Incase you no know I have both religious background, so I hardly take offense from either side.
Sorry, abeg.
I'm just being cautious. Two nairaland muslims have threatened my life before.
alexistaiwo: I just mentally unfriend one of my female friends now now, she said that the word of God is the most important factor to consider before marriage and it supercedes genotype because if doctor's report says no and God says yes, it is a go ahead.
Some people's education is a complete waste
Guy, your comment just weak me.
Some people sha. They can do nonsense for religion. I pity the guy that will marry that kind of girl.
That is how one girl was attacking me because I didnt respond to her "Jesus loves you" comment to me. I just walked out on her. And every time I saw her, I kept walking past. Na beg she come beg me later
All that stress to give people disturbing issues bout their faith.
I go like to meet you in real life.
Yes, it was worth it.
We all have our agenda. Mine is to educate people....with hard love.
As for meeting me, it is not a problem. Just know that I will carry a knife, a taser and a pellet gun incase you are a radicalised person. Life is too precious.
basilico: He had not done something as outrageous as signing two peace agreements within a month, normalised Serbia/Kosovo relations then. That was then. Now is the moment
Now is the moment?
-A president that has done nothing to calm BLM riots? -A president that makes racist statements such as telling black American politicians to go back where they came from? -A president that has issues with most of his allies? UK, Germany, EU, Canada? -A president that has divided his own country so much?
Lol......Trump's victory is not as clear as you think it is
