What about Namecheap and Goddady? |
J scully95:Whosoever is doing those killings is misplacing priorities. It won't change anything on the ground. Rather, it would only harden the minds and soul of those fighting the Novorossiya course. Right now, there are reports of large number Of Russian tank columns being moved to the areas closed to Ukraine. Maybe there is something coming up so soon. With Zarkerchenko dead, it's never going to be all quiet in the western fronts. |
I foresee hostilities on the front lines any moment from now. The spate of assassinations has gone on too far. Another bloodbath is on the way. I don't see what advantages Ukraine (if at all they are responsible) seek to gain from such dastardly acts. Meanwhile, it could also have been an internal power struggle problem. Whatever it is, the outcome isn't going to be good at all. GIVI, BASURIN, and Co, and now is Zarkachenko. May his Soul RIP. |

LordReed:Is Abacha worse than or better than Pharoah? But he was God's instrument, right? Check this out, boy...Proverb 16:4. |
LordReed:Exactly. Romans 13 VS 1-7 |
LordReed:You can doubt any thing about Trump and American politics, but never doubt the power of the cosmic. Things ain't always what we think they are. |
FunnyDude:My friend, don't ever make the mistake of using a foreign account. Although it did favor some people, Fiverr now have a way of checking accounts. Some Nigeria ln sellers were closed down recently since they could not upload an ID card requested by fiverr. They knew people are using VPN and foreign numbers, so they are increasingly taking measures to checkmate that. Nigeria accounts sells, and nobody give a dime if you are black or green. What they want from you is your quality and being competitive. I joined fiverr last year February and I have made a good amount from it, with over 129 ratings, not to mention the ones that weren't rated. You don't have to tell lies about where you come from to make it on fiverr. You don't even need to buy reviews to start selling. First, offer cheap, then raise the price later on. Patience is the key. Be patience and that breakthrough will come sooner than you think. |
JustCryptos:How much do you pay? I'm an expert in that field. |
I sometimes wonder why people can't see the difference between State and Country. The economy of a state within a country and that of Nation are not the same. Come to think of it: GDP is no longer the major determinant in measuring the economic strength of a nation. Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) is the key. California is GDP is favorably ahead that of Russia, Canada, Nigeria, and many other nations for obvious reasons. California population is far smaller than Russia's No potentially hostile enemies at the borders No standing army of its own No hordes of ediots chanting "California is evil and will kill us all" in every media source they can get their hands on No need to maintain a huge amount of army and care for thousands of nukes in case the ediots above acted on it. Much smaller territory to protect and govern Better weather conditions No one is slapping sanctions on California No government program such as free healthcare The state is home to Silicon Valley, Headquarters to Apple, Google, AMD, Adobe, Hollywood, etc. Its clear that the reason for the better GDP is because California happens to exist in much more favorable conditions than Russia and the aforementioned nations, and also because most of US prominent hi-tech companies are for some reasons crammed over there. If California were to be a country, its GDP won't even come close to that of shameless Nigeria, talkless of Russia or Canada. ![]() Now, the real yardstick in measuring wealth is PPP. Even the UN is no longer using GDP due to its crude method of calculating wealth. Take for instance, Japan is the Third richest country in the world by nominal GDP, yet its debt ceiling is 123% greater than its GDP. Imagine that! Isn't a fallacy? The same thing goes for the US. But when it comes to PPP, Japan ranked as the 4th largest economy in the world, which further makes it the second most productive economic in the world. Think about that. The same thing applies here. If we are to go by PPP, California is way below nations like Nigeria and Russia. For instance, it will cost 114.49% more to rent a house in L.A than you would in Moscow. The cost of purchasing consumer goods in California is 80% higher than what it would cost for same goods in Russia. Purchasing Power Parity is the difference. What 2 dollars will buy you in Michigan may not be able to buy you same in Washington. This is how economic wealth is measured these days. If the average currency in your country (say 1dollar) can't buy you a piece of bread, but my 1 Naira can buy me a piece of bread, even though your 1 dollar is greater than my 1 naira in value, then it means I have more economic wealth than you have by virtue of PPP. Also, if your one dollar can buy you a piece of bread but lives you without a change, whereas my one naira is able to buy me a piece of bread but left me a kobo, the bread and the remaining kobo strikes Parity with the missing value at which the dollar exceeded the naira-all by PPP. So, in that sense, California is not even close to being wealthier than Russia. Buy in strict GDP terns, its way ahead, although it is not a country, to mention. |
OLAADEGBU:How would they leave when a good number of them won't have the opportunity to leave carelessly like they do in the States? Well, Trump is doing exactly what he was "ordained" to do, and he would surely accomplish his mission until the elect are sealed and the cup of America runneth over. Then he that will come from the East would come and mystery Babylon's judgement shall begin. Each time I look at Syria with events reaching a boiling point, and with Burgaria now actively on the pipeline frontier in the Balkans, my mind quickly flies back to Alois Irlmaiar's prophecy on world war 3. "Big naval ships will confront one another in the Med, but the actual spark will come from the Balkans". Gentlemen, let's watch Syria and the pipeline politics taking place now in the Balkans. |
All I can see from these moves is that the Simpson prediction is gradually coming to fruition. This ongoing economic war of Trump against other nations will result in a weakened dollar on the long run as more and more nations would start dumping its use internationally. Thus, it will leave behind a massive debt spiral that is already amassing.but the Chinese currency would play a major role yet. I think the Euro is in a better position to take that leap. |
OLAADEGBU:The problem with so many of those people that predicted is that they are too quick to predict for the future what the future has not shown them while overlooking what the future had already shown others. Until most Americans comes to realize that key political events that happened in the country have supernatural connotations, many will continue on a narrative that is flawed and incorrect. I wonder how those people felt when they saw the outcome of the election. They say man proposes but God disposes. |
Missy89:Wow! Always good to here from you. You just disappeared into thin air. |
mojeer678:How day brother...Long time no see. I have learned to let sleeping dogs lie. May be you should do the same, lest thou be like them. By the way, where is my lady, Missy89? ![]() |
Tunmise100:I think you have stated the obvious. The thing that pains me the most is that these people are suppose to be intelligent. But they have allowed their views to be clouded by pure hate and undiluted bias in judgement. Otherwise, how can somebody say because you shake the hands of a fellow leader, therefore you have legitimize his deeds. Isn't that silly to begin with? So when Obama shook the hands of Putin, he is legitimizing his support for separatists in Eastern Ukraine? Or better still, Saudi Arabia is a well known financier of terror groups in the Middle East, and Obama did shook hands with the Saudi King. Does that make him a supporter or legitimizer of their evil deeds? But because this is Trump, his case had to be different. And like you rightly said, is useless trying to reason with deliberately unreasonable folks whose bodies, souls and spirits are sworn to hate blindly. Thanks very much for the reminder. I think I will quit replying such posts from now on. Frankly, is a waste of time. |
LordReed:Now, this is exactly the problem with a lot of your kind on this platform. Who said anything about celebrating Trump's achievement? can you point to where I celebrated his achievement in all our discourse? I only became fascinated about how you cleverly yet unintelligently redefined the term "legitimacy". Even blind Bathemos could have seen through your level of seething hatred for Trump when you childishly summise that his handshake with Kim embodies his crimes and legitimize his ways. You should accept the fact you made a blunder, rather than trying to wriggle your way out. Talking about your equally hypocritical question, if it where to be Obama, would we have celebrated this so-called achievement? The answer is yes, and why not? I don't know about others but you can simply revert back to my posts here during the Obama Era and see for yourself. Not everyone here lack constructive criticism and honest views. For what a lot of you don't know, lots of folks here rooted for Obama when he negotiated that deal with Iran and the P5+1. In fact, I actively supported it even though I am a Christian and despite the fact that the deal was not in the interest of Israel. That tells you who I am. It's peace above all forms of political sentiments, racial passivity, religious sentimentality and individual stereotypical ideology. But can the same be said about your lots today? The fact that you even ask that question shows you are hypocritical. Did you mean to tell me since coming into office Trump hasn't achieved a single thing? If yes, which one of them have you accredited him for? Answer that! From your question, it entails you knew deep down that the Orange man did achieve 'something" unless you want to tell me the remains of American heroes that were returned doesn't mean a single thing to you and the selfish interests of your lots here. But it does to the would be family of those fallen heroes and to the millions of the ever-rsady-to-die ready-to-die for America soldiers who knew better now that come what may, America will never forget them. That to me, to the families of those soldiers and to the armed forces and thousands of Americans out there, is an achievement--something his predecessors could not achieved. I hope that sink in, but alas, your next summation below shows you are even worse than I thought. What doesn't seem clear to you propagandists is, the agreement extracted nothing of value from the North Koreans toward the peace every one wants, instead it provided a way for him to demonstrate to his people that his skills as a leader are unsurpassed even in the face of a world superpower like America.Now you have comfirmed my worst fears. So you think you can secure peace by bullying a nuclear armed nation to the table? You are simply being unintelligent (no offense meant) or are you just knowingly doing this? What else were you expecting? You expect North Korea to denuclearilised just like that? Even the U.S war planners and think-tanks never did envisaged a NK denuclearisation nor a stop to perfecting their nuclear capabilities from a single summit with the United States. It's only people like you and the bought and paid for fake news media that expected that to happen. We over here are realists, just like Pentagon, and we know that NK we never halt not to mention denuclearising after meeting with Trump. Part of the move by the Trump's administration was to queer rising tensions approaching feverish pitch. The bombs in NK works but since reality means little or nothing to you guys, you cannot see that nuclear war is very much possible. And that when it does, Hundreds of thousands of American lives spread across military bases in South Korea and elsewhere, in Asia plus millions of other people would be burnt. OH you think this is a joke or propaganda? Ask yourself: North Korea has 27 million people but why are they rarely seen in droves on the streets, especially in the face of rising tensions with America and Co? You don't see more than half of these people on the streets. In fact, majority of the major cities are always empty. Why? They were being evacuated--because NK envisaged and has always prepared for a full scale thermonuclear warfare. But for people like you, this is propaganda. Yeah, you guys would want to believe the lies you are fed by the fake news network that 27 million people are just too hungry and weak to come out of their houses. Very pathetic. But I must commend the Media, they have done a very good job. If you cannot understand that it significantly raises his profile in the eyes of his people then you clearly lack understanding about the nuances of diplomacy and power. One does not always have to threaten to create displays of power, the mere fact that you can get another party to even appear to negotiate with you already can create the illusion that you have power, real or not. The US and NK are not equal on any level, the US is using sanctions to drive home that point and could have used its position to obtain concrete terms from NK but Trump squanders the opportunity to make a show instead. The refusal of past presidents to meet without those significant concessions was deliberate not because they didn't want peace.You see how you are contradicting yourself? Talking about diplomacy and power. With all the hardlines taken against NK plus all the sanctions imposed upon them by previous administration till date, what concrete terms has the U. S achieved? Bush, Clinton, Obama all demonstrated U.S power to impose sanctions for many decades, did it stop NK from developing Nuclear Weapons? Pyongyang still thrives despite all the economic blockade and political isolation. You want to know why? Because economic sanctions have their limits--as they create alternatives corridors for others to exploit and make huge profit. There are 1001 ways to circumvent and bypass sanctions. But I guess folks like you don't know it. As for political isolation, they always create new friends, especially when the nation is a nuclear armed nation. People like your so-called racist, misogynistic President knows this quite Allright, that you cannot isolate a nuclear armed nation or compelled it with sanctions to surrender. But since you guys don't know, you quickly dislodge any diplomatic attempt aimed at rowing in the wild boat. All you guys care about is chest-fronting, as if it has paid any dividends. We already know how this will play out on the long run. North Korea will continue to pursue it nuclear program, albeit on a limited scale and the tense standoff between it and the South will improve gradually, as it is now. But anything can still happen. |
obixcel:I just don't understand how some folks can focus all their entire lives simply hating a human being like them. Even as much as I dislike Hillary and condemned Obama for certain actions, I had never and will never descend so low to hating someone like this, to the extent that his handshakes becomes a transfer of anointing. Lack of constructive criticism was actually one of the elements that got Trump elected in the first place. Now, they are doing the same thing all over again. If you can't bear the loss, why not wait for another chance to vote him out, instead of coming on a Nigerian platform to rewrite the dictionary definition of the term 'legitimacy'. And when they are confronted, the only thing they have to give as answers is a truckload of insults. That tells you who they are and what they represent. |
LordReed:Get your facts straight and stop being an unintelligent, stereotypical analyst. Since the American election brouhaha and the So-called Russian gate collusion story, you were actually one of a few that make informed contributions, unlike some nut cases here. But what just happened? Defining legitimacy in a whole, new way is a far cry from what you used to be. Is it just because you hate Trump that much? Trump? FYI, he is not even my ideal president, but that will never make me hate him or give him credit where not due. The contribution of some of you here shows just how racist and overwhelmingly hateful people can be. But that's not my cup of tea: every mallam has got his kettle. As for me, I don't give a dime about who rules America, but I give a dime about what American Foreign Policy portends for the rest of the world. If American won't stop messing around the world, sponsoring chaos and fanning the flames of terrorism in sovereign states, then she becomes my problem. As for Obama - I don't worship people just for the color of their skin. He had his moments for 8 years and nothing changed for the black community in the States. Like every other being, he had merits and demerits. And now that Trump is on the seat, he should also been given his due where he deserves and criticism where necessary. But claiming he legitimized actions of a certain dictator through handshakes is a symptom of pure hatred and unintelligent reasoning. And that coming from you is very surprising, I must say. |
obixcel:I use to think that power and authority constitute legitimacy. It's here on Nairaland I learned that a government can derive legitimacy from the ordinary course of handshakes. Amazing discovery. |
obixcel:In fact, when I saw that comment, I was like: 'what?` so, the normal protocol of handshake among important national dignitaries has become a source of legitimizing actions? It therefore means when Trump shook hands with Netanyahu, he is legitimizing the killing of Palestinians. Wonders shall never end. |
Immanuelar:Please help send to steveemem@gmail.com. Thanks. |
Grupo:No. I'm saying if you want good writers, be ready to assist them. |
JustCryptos:This is the reason why you are getting so-called terrible writers. |
Rossikki:Stop shifting goal post. Even a child in the womb knows Kim is a dictator. But its different when you are painting the country to look like is the devil's own backyard. What happens to the people under incarceration and tortured by the US in Guantanamo Bay? That is democracy right? Just answer the questions. You said none of us here in Nigeria can survive a week in North Korea, but the country have 27 million people and they are still alive. Tourists go to the country and they return back in one piece. If the country is as frightening as u and the western media want us to believe, why have all these people not died? No one here is supporting dictatorship, but adding to the facts while they look contrarywise, is something we always take with a grain of salt. North Korea may be bad, but no way near the way western media are reporting it. |
Rossikki:What a babel. The people that are dancing or working about are being repressed, incarcerated, and have no or little access to the internet yet they are alive and even feature in sport competitions all over the world. My friend.... You even said most of us here can't survived one week in North Korea....But tourists go to the place every year. Even some Americans can't resist the temptation. How many of them have died? Are you insinuating that the Korean people are subhumans? Or you mean to say the condition of some states in Northern Nigeria are better than what is attainable in NK, yet they are Alive? I will take my chances with North Korea than to live in a place like Chicago where the police will be too glad to put 20 bullets in your skin for being black. Let Koreans live their own defined democracy. Don't impose yours on them. Isn't that what democracy means? ![]() |
Electronzeez:Of course, that's the price people paid when they can't think for themselves PR even take the time out to research for themselves. It's pathetic how some folks easily swallow the bullshit coming from BBsin and CNN. |
sassysure:You get sense. Western fake news networks like BBSin, CNN and co, would never show you this. The same thing they are doing to Africa. All they want you to think, imbibe and believe is that places like North Korea, China, Russia, the entire land of Africa and other places that doesn't fit their masters narrative, are poverty stricken territories that should be forbidden. Anyone still overwhelmingly relying on western media covens for news has already declare him or herself a zombified pygmie (no insult meant). CNN or BBC will never tell you that the healthcare system of Slovenia and Morocco are better than what you have in the United States of Anarchy. BBC or CNN will not tell you that Singapore and HongKong, not to mention Switzerland has better infrastructure than the US and the UK. The only thing they know how to ditch out is fake news. The recently concluded world cup in Russia has exposed some of their lies. Many English travelers came to a shocking realisation that they were being lied to by the media. I remember one of them saying that with the way English media was reporting events about Russia, he and many more English people thought the place is like West Africa. But he was shocked when he started traveling around Russia. Even the guardian and a host of other papers confessed Russia isn't what is being constantly reported. We all know that Western Mainstream media news releases are 80 scripted and controlled by intelligence forces. That's a fact. |

What a pathetic twit!!!. Again, as the compasionate darling that i am
