It is sad to note that people are already dying in Warri where there is no COVID-19. This buhari government is a failed project.

If this news is true may God rest his soul in perfect peace and this are the reason why white man is different from Blackman. Hardly you will see this thing coming from Blackman so far there salary is still coming.
That whiteman is better than the Blackman because the formal can take his own life based on belief? This is senseless thinking.

Anyone who took his own life because he is unable to face reality is not only a coward but stupid as well. God cannot rest in peace the soul of any one who doesn't value his life.

Beside, what make you think the claim that he committed suicide was right. The motive sound suspicion...after all, this is politics.

The problem is with the fiverr's new algorithm. No one really knows how it works. It's creating all sorts of problems for freelancers at the moment. It's even worse when they don't rank some response ratings for more than a month even when you are responding quickly enough. Very strange algorithm.

PoliticsRe: Reps Want Police, Mining, Power Generation To Leave Exclusive List by Appleyard(m): 5:41pm On Mar 20, 2020
This is a very good move by the house of reps. I hope it scales through.

The Exclusive list is one hell of a Goliath that has surpressed and inhibited grassroots development, most especially in terms of infrastructures.

Imagined, in the United States, there are just 18 items in the exclusive legislative list. But here in Nigeria, there are 68 items in the exclusive legislative list. If this is not senseless, then I wonder what is. It means, if Buhari decide to only touch four items in his entire sluggish tenure, it automatically means 64 vital sectors of our national life would suffer. Of course, that is what has been going on, and that is why this country keep reeling backward into the abyss.

As if that isn't enough, the states still got to share with the overblown and overconcentrated center in the concurrent list, with the devilish so-called doctrine of covering the field.

States need more powers, and that's the only way Nigeria can develop as a nation. If states were controlling power generation before now, the power supply project would have improved dramatically.

I also support the abolishment of the land use act of 1979, and to vest ownership of land on local governments and individuals. Once these are done, no one would be interested in Abuja politics anymore, and Nigeria would steadily develop on its own.

my dear, little sweet fierryy, you ain't seen anything yet. cool Just wait till after he picked up that ticket, as they have rigged it to be, and let the real debate with Trump started. I know that many of these sheepies delusional democrats ranting here would switch off their TVs by the time Trump starts unloading on old joe.

It is only kids that think he would win against Trump. It's going to be a pathetic show.

Biden for all his faults and "stutters" is still better liked than Sanders and will most likely unite democrats when they face trump. will he beat donald? still to early to say but at least with joe they have a fighting chance with bernie it will be annihilation flawless victory mortal kombat style.

another similarity joe might have with buhari is the unexplainable following and support they both have. I mean Biden barely campaigned in texas yet he won there. you may not like Biden but don't underestimate his political clout
I never hated Biden. I simply stated the obvious. The man is sick, and that is the fact, and Trump will all know would exploit that every inch. Yes, I agree with you too about the support they have. I was pretty much surprised when Biden won South Carolina and altogether bumfuzzled by his sudden rise to the front in the race for the ticket, considering his poor start.

Notwithstanding, Biden or Bernie, none of them can unseat Trump. That's the big deal.

What is your problem? Can't you understand that the man is simply prophesying what the cosmic has already stamped, sealed and delivered about America? The election is a foregone conclusion already. None of the candidate can beat Trump. I will try as much as possible to avoid watching the debate if old Joe scales through the primary. with Trump, it won't be pleasant.

Ok

I stopped posting on NL because of 1diotic posts like this. You don't swear in witnesses for every congressional hearing especially ones like this.
Appleyard, Please stop mentioning me on useless threads. Russia can build suyasonic missile for all I care cheesy . America's military strength will remain unmatched for decades to come. You can take that to the bank! cool
Stop living in self-delusion. What Whyem15 wrote up there was facture and coherent. You only pointed out the aspect of witness testimony and oat taking, forgetting that there is what we called implied terms even in unsworn depositions. You couldn't even count any of the facts put forward to you. It's a fact that U.S missile defense systems have a record of poor performance. Deal with that, lovely. grin
Foreign AffairsRe: US General Confess That American Defense Can't Stop Russian Missiles by Appleyard(op): 2:16pm On Mar 09, 2020
Whyem15:
Yes it is true that they complain a lot to get more funding, but it is also true that it is a criminal offence to lie to congress as such, their complaints are not far from the truths. It is also true that there is no current defense known to man against hypersonic missiles which Russia has developed and in service with the Russian military already and are developing defense mechanisms for it while US and china are just developing the missile technology and are still far away from achieving meaningfully speeds. It is also true that American missile defense system are so ineffective they are almost useless.
At the bolded, U.S long-standing ally, Satan Arabia, is asking Russia for the S-300 and S-400 missile defense systems. Qatar has joined the train, Turkey went all out for it and already has it because their military knew how the system effectively "painted" U.S F-22 planes when flown from the Incirlik airbase in Turkey into Syria during the height of U.S military operations in that country. India has also signed contracts, but only Missy89 wants you to believe that it's simply because of corruption that this confessing U.S Admiral is out speaking the truth. cool

It is sad that you still dont understand how things work. This is military politicking. Agencies go to Congressional hearings to complain and get more money for their department with the help of politicians and policy makers with vested interest. Stop reading Sputnik

You should read about the IRON TRIANGLE, maybe you will learn something

Enjoy your weekend cool
Stop being a kid, my lady. I know better than you can ever imagine. At least, for once, you have admitted and acknowledged that there is no other political and corporate entity that is more corrupt than the U.S MIC, something we have reechoed over time here on koboland. That's a welcome development cool. It shows you ain't no longer drinking too much of the kool aid dicthed out to most of you dumb Americans.

But there is a problem....

I called you out here to address this issue and all you could put out was that the Navy Admiral on behalf of the military-industrial complex is just looking for more funds they can steal. I'm very disappointed. I know about the IRON TRIANGLE, but if this is the only thing you could point to, then I'm really sorry to say this; your types are wired to die with their eyes wide open. But this Navy General ain't ready to risk his life like your lots have chosen to. So he is out speaking the truth. cool

Everybody knows that what the admiral said is the fact. When it comes to missile technology, the United States is still in Kiddergatten trailing Russia by two decades.

The U.S is withdrawing from the START Treaty and rushing to build its own hypersonic missiles. WHY? Because, RUSSIA already fields them, and it's helping China to build the same in far East Asia. cool. What does the IRON TRIANGLE got to do with that I hate it when you make silly excuses in the face of prima-facie evidence.

Was IRON TRIANGLE the reason why the U.S openly asked Russia to destroy and cancel the production of the 9M729 missile? It's because they have no defense to any of these systems nor do they have a similar counter to that effect. Stop being dumb. There is a reason why the U.S is worrying about the increased secrecy of the Russian military and industrial complex.

CAATSA was primarily targeted at Russia. It was created by the U.S congress in consonance with the U.S military to try and scare away potential Russian missiles clients, and limit the proliferation of Russian advanced defense and missile systems because they pose serious consequences in traditional theatres where U.S so-called military supremacy reigns. It was a clever strategy because they know the effectiveness of these new systems like the S-400. Unfortunately, it didn't work as countries, including those that allied with the U.S are buying and queuing up to buy Russian-made missiles. cool

Tell me, was the IRON TRIANGLE also responsible for CAATSA?

Your excuse make no sense.

Heck, the U.S whose military tech is unmatched can't even launch satellites into orbit without relying on Russian rocket engines. I guess that have to do with the IRON TRIANGLE as well lol?

Pathetic.

kokanepyramid:
do these people look Senile compared with Buhari that can hardly engage in logical debates and discussions?

Don’t forget most of these Nigerian leaders at one point or the other falsified their age so when they claim 78 just add at least 5 years x Q to that where Q is the number of affidavits they’ve sworn.
Is there real difference between Buhari and Joe Biden? I doubt.

While the latter is more exposed compared to the former, Biden is just as odd as Buhari. At least, Buhari knows his wife to be his wife.

I have lost count of the many gaffes Biden has made the past few weeks across the campaign trail. In fact, I'm sorry to say, but Biden has proved to be a Jeb Bush mixed with age-related dementia.

He introduced his wife as his sister. Can't keep trail of his own thoughts, and he always seem to forget where he is. His consistent dissonance from reality makes him a complete case of dementia.

Here are some of the fact that he has a neurological disorder:

"Chuck" instead of "Chris" Wallace.

" Super Thursday " instead of "Super Tuesday".

"My deceased son was the Attorney General of the United States." Beau Biden was only the attorney general of Delaware.

"I'm here in the state of North South Carolina." Maybe is the one built by koph and Lucasbalo. cool

"I'm a Democratic candidate for the United States Senate. If you like what you see, help out, but if you don't, then vote for the other Bi-but just give me a look okay?"

It is sad but crystal clear that Biden is sick. In that last gaffe, Biden actually told the people in South Carolina that if they don't like him, they can vote for the other Biden. Don't laugh, I know it's funny but the man has a serious problem and the campaign stress is making it more bad.imagin what would be the case if he becomes President. He can easily mistake the nuclear button for his wife fingers. Oh, did I forget to tell you that he bite his Wife fingers repeatedly?

The mainstream media are trying to cover this up by calling it a case of "stutter". But that is not the truth. The symptoms says otherwise.

The MSM is doing all that it can to sell Biden to the electorate because he is the Democratic-Establishment anointed candidate. But they failed to realize that Trump won't be this charitable in a debate. He is going to point out these facts and take old Joe and the entire Dumbocrats to the cleaners.

The Dems just handed Donald Trump a free pass to a second term in the White House.

Pathetic.

Hi, can someone help me out please. I put in for a Payoneer Mastercard renewal since December 2019 and the card was sent by Payoneer to Nigeria since January, according to the information I saw on the tracking number they sent me and as confirmed by Payoneer too.

However, the card is yet to show up at the local post office box address number I used. I'm highly confused and disappointed as I cannot make any transactions online without the card. Payoneer said the card is already in Nigeria and that they expect me to activate by now.

What sort of thing is this?

What is this one saying?

First of all, Bernie Sanders is advocating for what many in the USA call "democratic socialism". His socialism is like that of EU countries like UK, Sweden or Denmark.

His kind of socialist is a capitalist economy but based on socialist policies like
-Government provided healthcare for all.
-free or cheaper access to education for all.
-a progressive system of taxation
-a humane or higher minimum wage.


Most of the countries you mentioned are hardcore communist countries. Communism differs from socialism. Socialism is more about economics and nationalising the means of production. Communism is the political system that empowers a government's total control of a nation, including the economy and means of production.


Furthermore, it was not just communism that was the downfall of Cuba and other countries you mentioned. It was corruption. It does matter what system of government you run- once it is corrupt, the country falls apart.
You are enlightened! cool

They are the most indebted state in the southwest with absolutely nothing to show for it..They need a capitalist governor to turn round the fortunes of the state
Is Nigeria as a whole not a capitalist country? With all the wealth we've had, what has our capitalist government done with it? And how did Osun state practiced a socialist economy when it doesn't control or have the means to nationalized production? undecided

Everyone of them bashing socialism have not lived anywhere outside the USA, I have lived in Germany and the UK and the social safety nets are on point. Folks ain't sleeping in trains and converting a whole section of a boulevard to a sleeping shark. Y'all save us with the American bullshiit mirage it's all f***king PR, many nations are doing better than us in all ramification, they don't need to go under to afford healthcare, while big pharm and lobbyists keep on buying our politicians and citizens ration insulin. In fact while in Germany, a friend from Ivory Coast was cured from liver cancer without paying a dime, yet, y'all wanna tell us how the rigged American system is gold, when a 9 - 5 MD state department staff pays more in Federal tax than all fortune 500 companies combined last year. Y'all save some of us that have experience how government works without greed from all these crap y'all are sprouting.
I'm a realist, and I believe in calling a spade a spade. What you typed up there is nothing but the truth. Many people really do not know or understand indepthly what socialism stands for. No thanks to the geopolitical divide during the Cold War era and the stereotype that accompanies it, spearheaded by MSM brainwashing propaganda and the geopolitical power tussle between the West and the East.

So, the majority of this current generation that grows along that propaganda line are wired to only think of socialism as "the government of the oppressor, by the oppressor, and for the oppressor".

Hence, once many of these good people comes across the term socialism, they're quick to denounce it as pure evil while praising the progress made by democratic societies. But, what many of them don't know already is that both socialism and capitalism are purely economic principles that can, and have been practiced under different polytical systems.

Both have their merits and demerits.

Formal Libya under Qaddafi wasnt close to what the west defines as democracy, yet its socialist economic principles inherent in its so-called non-democratic system was so good that the standard of living of an average Libyan citizen makes a fool out of a U.S, France, or UK citizen.

But, where is Libya today, in tarters and debris, courtesy of the West and their gunboats democracy as spearheaded by capitalism.

Germany today operate a democratic system, but only a few knows that majority of its economic principles is enshrined in socialist dictum. Even the UK, Sweden and a host of other nations that runs along with socialist principles are doing better than many of the so-called capitalist democracies.

Most times,people fails to understand that it isn't the economic and political system perse that is the main problem, but the operators of the system.

If people think that socialism stifles economic and political freedom, and is a precursor to tyranny, then how should we classified capitalism, the hallmark of economic GREED that has forced the world to experience two world wars, and is gradually pushing us towards a third, a nuclear showdown that would annihilate most human lives and make the crocroaches and bacteria reign as kings.

We all know that the only reason the US waged war with Iraq was for oil...not for the American interest but for the capitalist greed.

It's same reason is in Syria, same reason the US has a military base on the asss of every major oil producing nation on earth. Same reason Big Pharma is fighting hard to block alternative medicine, and it's same reason why holistic doctors are dying mysteriously everywhere.

While capitalism create competitiveness, which in turn fosters efficiency (in an ideal world), the evils it has brought far outweighs all of its good to mankind.

To me, no one system is best or flawless.

Nevertheless, it's a fact that most Americans are wired to denounce and reject socialism, and since this is now the case, how would Bernie be able to man up against Trump if he eventually clinch the Dems nomination? Honest to God, I'm still surprised that Biden won a state as S. Carolina.

The prospect is no longer looking like a roller-coaster for Bernie anymore,especially now with Buttigieg endorsing Biden. It's becoming more glaring that the Dems don't want Bernie to be their flag bearer, and that's why I kept saying they lack a concrete political base to unseat Trump.
