Againstallodds:
If ECOWAS fall for this war then I see them as the most stupid organization
The way forward is to talk with the coupist and chart the way forward. Why should African brothers be fighting themselves because Europe want gas from warri Nigeria. Let's be careful before we take action that will consume us.
Who that is close to ebola should tell him not to listen to those Europeans.
Envoys from UN/AU/ECOWAS have been sent but the coupist wouldn't meet them. They wouldn't even discus with Gen. Abdusalm and the Sultan of Sokoto. What else should be done in your opinion?
PoliticsBRICS: All There Is To Know. by Abifarin16(op): 3:45pm On Aug 13, 2023
BRICS
What is the BRICS?
BRICS is an acronym that started as BRIC in 2001, coined by Jim O’Neill (a Goldman Sachs economist) for Brazil, China, India, and Russia. Later in 2010, South Africa was added to become BRICS. Goldman Sachs claimed that the global economy will be dominated by the four BRIC economies by 2050. The main reason for such a claim was that China, India, Brazil, Russia, and South Africa were ranked among the world's fastest-growing and emerging market economies for years. The main comparative advantage of this group is their low labour costs, favourable demographics, and abundant natural resources at the time of the global commodities boom.

The Goldman Sachs thesis didn’t claim that BRICS would become a political alliance or even a formal trading association. However, the report said that BRICS has the potential to form a powerful economic bloc.

In 2013, BRICS accounted for around 27% of global GDP in purchasing power. The five countries have a total population of 2.88 billion, accounting for around 42 per cent of the entire global population. The countries in the BRICS bloc cover 26 per cent of the total land area on earth.

Goldman Sachs’ BRIC Thesis: Early Development
O'Neill of Goldman Sachs noted in 2001 that BRIC nations were expected to grow more quickly than the Group of Seven consisting of the seven most advanced global economies, including Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, the US, and Japan. In the “Building Better Economic BRICs” paper, O'Neill presented his views on the potential of BRIC nations.

Later in 2003, Roopa Purushothaman and Dominic Wilson (O’Neill’s colleagues at Goldman Sachs) presented a report named “Dreaming with BRICs: The Path to 2050.” They both claimed that by 2050, BRIC will become more prominent than the G7, changing the look of the world's economies in four decades.

1. Why do I need to do that? Is the validity of God's Law dependent on the existence of at least one righteous person? undecided

2. I don't think! God Himself said it is the righteous that are approved by Him and are loved by Him. I believe that which God said. He said He does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; rather, He only answers the prayers of the righteous. undecided

3. Your righteousness which is according to your standard is not God's righteousness. Isaiah explained in that passage that the people's righteous was tainted by their sins. God's own standard requires you first become Holy (sinless) before you can be approved righteous by His standard. undecided

4. Well, God's mercy applies to even the unbelievers, the wicked and the ungrateful and as you can see if you honestly look around you, those who don't even need to bother praying or believing in God at all in order to receive the same. So why pray at all if His mercy and grace is all you desire? He gives that to every human being for free, daily. lipsrsealed
If you believe in point 4 that you made, how do you now say that His prayers are not being answered because he is not righteous?
Can you determine what is righteous you yourself? Was it by righteousness that God entered an eternal covenant with Abraham, David and His descendants. If righteousness was attainable by man Jesus wouldn't have had to come die for us. Like you said even ungrateful people and unbelievers get answers to thier prayers. Olosho dey pray God dey show mercy answer.

Which old testament? Even Jesus Christ told you that you must seek first the Kingdom of God(Holiness) followed by God's Righteousness in order that all these things--- the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God, including answers to prayers---- shall be added onto you. God hasn't changed His MO at all. You have simply not been paying attention to what He has been saying all this while. undecided
Show me one righteous person. You think it's by your righteousness that God answered your prayers?
Your righteousness is but a filthy rag in His presence, you think you can be righteous enough to warrant God answering your prayers. Thank God for Grace and Mercy that is given for free to those who believe His son.

SportsRe: Messi And Ronaldo, Who Is Better? by Abifarin16: 11:19am On Aug 12, 2023
There are basically two types of Greats in every endeavor, One that show others the way and the one that shows other what is achievable. In the last decade this Two names have constantly remained on our lips for their efforts in sports. One will not be able to choose one over the other, because what one sees and admires in one may even be better found in the other and vice versa.
A lot of people think Ronaldo is a proud player and has received all the negatives, he is a product of hard work, dedication and consistency and smart work to. However not ever player is willing to sacrifice as much as he has to become what he has, you might not be able to keep up. He is not one that will open. Doors for you but will show you what is possible by first becoming it.
Messi is a hard worker too, but has some unseen advantage on his side people like to call it being gifted like his DNA was wired for football. Messi will help any player grow and become their best. He is one to open doors of opportunity for other teammates. He can carry the slack of others. If you are going by trophy's you have a winner already. But you must look at this athlete in their totality (personality etc)
To be able to say what's what.
However I will lean towards Messi for personal reasons.

Many Igbos like myself don't want them in our country. Like you said, they'll only cause problems for us. We need our independent Igbo nation to be as homogenous and united as possible.

Trying to reason with these people is pointless as the propaganda they've been subjected to has been going on for generations.

We have gas, coal, minerals and some oil in our lands. We also have the most important resource — human resources. With good governance, we'd be able to rival any first world country within 20 years of seceding.

Good luck to all the Ikwerre and other minority tribes choosing to stay in Nigeria.
You and very few people. And we all know majority carries the day. I believe leaving behind sentimental feeling and advancing as one despite the odds is better than regressing and breaking into pieces. United we stand, divide and beside

ExudeLoveToAll:
I'm forced to believe your narrative a little. Buhari deployed military assets against Yaya Jameh of the Gambia and was very close to full blown war if the military of the Gambia did not capitulate and remove their loyalty from Jameh to Barrow, no one protested in Northern Nigeria.

When the Nigerian state through SAS carried out extra judicial killings nobody came out for protest against these ills that has been antithetical to Nigeria's development. Now their loyalty lies with the Nigeriens instead of Nigeria.

I don't support this war but the way North West and North East behaves when it comes to issues like these is appalling. I'm sure If it was Buhari everywhere will remain silent over there, what a country.
Double standards on the basis of Ethnicity and religion. This is the same Kano that will burn the USA flag in the streets of Kano and wave the Palestinian flag. But I don't see Palestine bring in aid to them. You benefit from America through USAid, Visa lottery and other stuff mostly in the north. But that's the country they want to fight at first signs of provocation. The UAE has not and cannot do more than what America and the UK has and will continue to for Nigeria. They may have their problems no doubt.
I do not support a war. Stick to sanction and push for dialogue. What is the Coup leader intention after he has taken power. He surely wasn't satisfied about something. If that said thing is fixed give the power back. Monarchy and Military rule are very similar. Ask the Koreans that were asked to forcefully change Thier names and keep similar hair cut with Kim Jung.

If there is anything History has taught us about ourselves is that we cannot be pleased.

Putin and Russia must have believed they are going back to the old ways of Mother Russia and the USSR, now the economy is falling to pieces. They should enjoy their coup while it last.
