Kukutente23:Did Obi say we should go and verify at the source? Or maybe you don't know the meaning of "verify". |
This K1 is becoming too unruly. Who does he think he is? He thinks because he is rich and famous he is above the law. The government needs to remind some people once in a while that no one is above the law, no matter how rich or famous you are. |
Kukutente23:Did you visit the united States' to confirm that Tinubu forfeited money from proceeds of drugs? Did you visit Chicago State University before believing that Tinubu didn't graduate? Did you visit Lagos State records before believing that Tinubu still embezzles Lagos funds? You people are dangerous. |
Hamachi:Go and read the post I was responding to. You will understand my position better. |
Who got her pregnant? That is first question that should bother everyone, especially women. In a sane country, the person who got her pregnant would be languishing in jail right now. But this is Nigeria, an insane country. A girl got pregnant at 15, and no one is asking the salient question. |
givedemwotowoto:Prosperous to you because Nigerians only think about the enjoyment of today. You don't think about tomorrow. It was prosperous, but you didn't worry that the government would not be able to sustain the prosperity. They didn't build refineries, they wasted 16 billion dollars and even more on fake 24/7 electricity supply project, they didn't tackle corruption. How do you think prosperity will continue for years? We don't have the capacities to refine our own oil, rather we import the finished products and then subsidize them for the populace and the populace is happy because food is cheap. Now that reality has caught up with us, you want to exonerate the originator of the whole mess and blame everything it on Tinubu simply because he grew the balls to do something OBJ should have done many years ago. Do you people actually think Nigeria will continue to prosper by buying finished products of its own crude oil and then subsidize it to keep pump price affordable? Have you seen our GDP per capita? Did you see the subsidy debt Buhari inherited and the one Tinubu inherited from Buhari? Everything is not about today. Think about tomorrow too. You are enjoying today but you don't care to put in sustainable practices that will make sure you continue to enjoy. That is the case of OBJ. He swindled all of you. |
Hemanwel:The Zambians played well against the Moroccans, and even led twice before Morocco forced them to a 2-2 draw. But we saw what happened when Zambia met Nigeria. Their two prolific strickers could not even register a single shot on target. Then, to make matters worse, the whole team was dismantled 5-0. It is easy to see the good performances of other teams. It is hard to see the good performances of your own team because you will be in too much pressure to see beautiful football even if it is being in full display. To really see how your team fares, watch their matches after the live match. With no pressure, you will see that the Nigerian team can actually dismantle this Moroccan team. |
SalamRushdie:Which working economy? An economy that had stopped growing in 2014?
|
micky2004:It is a kestrel, not a peregrine. Both the kestrel and peregrine are falcons, but the peregrine is bigger and faster and is, in fact, the fastest animal on earth. The kestrel, like every falcon, is fast, but it is not even as fast as the cheetah. |
APOPTOSIS:That is a kestrel, a type of falcon. It is not even as fast as a cheetah. The peregrine falcon is the fastest animal on the planet. |
ch214:The Igbos should present a credible leader. Moreover, the Hausas have not produced a single president since 1960, yet they don't complain like the Igbos who have produced one president and one head of state. Obasanjo always pandering to the Igbos. This was what Soyinka used to do then until they started dragging him. Hopefully, they won't bounce on Obasanjo too one day. |
donleo92:Ever heard about pyrrhic victory? Iran lost 20 generals, but they achieved significant success against Israel's military shield. For Israel to agree to a ceasefire so quickly means they felt the power of Iran. Israel lost because they cannot say their goal for waging war was achieved. But Iran won because they defended themselves well and exposed some of the vulnerabilities of Israel. Israel felt they could bully Iran. They threw the first blow and warned Iran not to retaliate. Iran not only retaliated, she went on to hold Israel and her allies in battle for over 2 weeks. |
Heffalump:Mention one war that the Americans have won singlehandedly in history? If you think they can face China or Russia or India, then you are ignorant. They have had their asses whooped many times. They had their asses exposed in the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993. One thing with warfare is that no one can predict how it would end, especially in a war where two superpowers are facing off. The US can only face China through proxies. |
Heffalump:It is Israel that is pushing the United States to destruction. The United States should learn from the fall of the Roman Empire. |
smtx:So, Iran cannot have nuclear weapons for its own security too? Moreover, why keep nuclear weapons for security? Does it not mean that it would eventually be used to the detriment of the whole world in the future? So, why keep it? Do you know how much it costs in dollars to maintain nuclear programmes and the cost to the environment from dismantling or retiring ageing ones? Your argument is lame. If Iran cannot have nuclear weapons, no one else should. Nuclear weapons are dangerous, and no one can be trusted with them. Not America, not Israel, not Russia. and of course deterent to Nations like Iran and for security globally.Deterrent to Iran? But what will Iran use as deterrent to nations like Israel and the United States who have sponsored terrorist groups like Jundallah to distabilize the government in Iran? Iran can not own one yet, it's simple! It's like AK 47 in the hands of a mad man.So, what is nuclear weapons in the hands of North Korea. Yet, North Korea is allowed to own nuclear weapons. Russia is allowed to own nuclear weapons. But Iran can't. Iran which allows itself be bound by the UN Charter. The true madman in North Korea is allowed to own nuclear weapons, but Iran which respects the UN Charter can't. Israel, a threat to Iran, can own nuclear weapons, but Iran can't. Honestly, I don't know how you people feel about big countries bullying small countries. |
brain54:Qatar have always maintained that they would never be dragged into any conflict with Iran. Both Iran and Qatar regard themselves as brothers. Moreover, Qatar has a lot to lose in such a conflict. The country is doing well economically and they would not want to be set back by the destruction of war. |
smtx:You are hilarious. Why do countries have nuclear weapons? First, answer that question. |
correctguy101:Many people taking sides don't even know what the issue is all about. Why should some countries be policing those who should have nuclear weapons and those who shouldn't? It remains known that no one can be trusted with a nuclear weapon, not America, not Israel, not Russia, yet these countries have a stockpile of them. The only time nuclear weapons was used in warfare was in 1945 when the Americans dropped atomic bombs on Japan. Now, the same America thinks they can be trusted to own nukes but Iran can't. I hate the hypocrisy. There are Nigerians supporting Israel and America because they hate Islam. What they don't understand is that this conflict can quickly escalate into the Third World War. Already, Turkey has begun talks on expanding their nuclear programme. Russia and China are watching and seeing how the United States is breaking protocol by bombing a sovereign state. They are taking note. Even if they don't join the war directly, trust them to join through proxies. The Nigerian thinks he is safe in his own country. He doesn't know the economic impact it would have on him if the economy of Europe shuts down. The fight between Russia and Ukraine caused the price of wheat to skyrocket in Nigeria. Just wonder what would happen to many of our imports if a World War was to begin today. |
salem1996:Why not enlist in the US military? Are you people aware the number of American soldiers who have died in the Middle East. Trump himself said it that America should never have involved itself with the Middle East. He said it to throw shades at Obama. But Trump becomes president again, and he is doing exactly the same thing he criticized Obama for. In fact, he is doing worse, striking Iran unprovoked. Are you people aware that there was a negotiation going on before Israel struck Iran unprovoked. Are you still aware that negotiation hasn't closed yet before Trump struck Iran? |
fineboynl:You think Israel has the capabilities to silence Iran? You people don't understand war. And Trump might just have begun Third World War with his recklessness. Go and check American reactions on X. Nearly every American is mad at Trump for interfering, especially when Iran was still at the negotiation table. |
Righteousness2:You are just being unfair. Iran was on the negotiation table when Israel struck unprovoked. Iran asking Israel to stop their own nuclear programme is fair and reasonable. Why should Israel be allowed to have a nuclear programme, but Iran can't? Now, the warmonger, Trump, goes and bombs Iran. Many Americans are angry because Iran sees this as war now, and it might awaken sleeper cells, even in the United States. The only issue is that it is not Trump and his fellow warmongers that will suffer it. |
Dpsychologist:It is not about wrong choices of men all the time. Why do we blame men for the occurrence of every single mom? Let me tell you a story. When I was in the university, our social director was dating one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. The girl seemed well-behaved for someone so beautiful. She was respectful and all that. One day, our social director caught another guy on top of her in her room off campus. Although, at the time, she was pregnant and our social director knew and even showed commitment towards marrying her. But when he caught her with the other guy, he didn't trust that the baby in her womb was his anymore. That was how they broke up. I don't know anymore about her story. Let us say the other guy also rejected the pregnancy, she would become a single mother. Can we blame our social director for breaking up with her? She probably would go around trying to blame the social director for her plight without telling anyone that she was the cause of the breakup. Women are very good at the pity game. So, don't believe that every single mom made a wrong choice of men. Some of the single moms are badly behaved and loose. Some of them are to blame. While I will not stop any man from dating them, I will advise that you date them with sense. Imagine a single mom telling me she had 2 kids and when I told her it was too much responsibility for me, she said I was not man enough. Women generally are manipulative. So, men should be like our fathers. Thread carefully. |
Host78:You may not get a refund easily, especially for the agent fees. But instead of fighting for a refund, speak with the landlord. The metre is registered in his name and he needs to do something about how it is used. It is not just about filling rooms with tenants. A landlord must also be concerned about certain use of properties attached to his name and identity. Tell the landlord about the issue. He should call a meeting and find a lasting solution to the problem. During my master's degree programme, I rented a self-con apartment close to school gate. There were about 14 rooms, all full. There seemed to be no light issue for almost a month until one morning, I woke up and saw light everywhere outside, but not in my own room. I went outside and discovered that it was the same for every other tenant. Only our building was affected. Soon, they sent a student to collect contribution of money to bribe NEPA. I began to wonder. Bribe NEPA for what? There was a prepaid metre, so why was the need to bribe? To cut the long story short, it turned out that the house had bypassed metre and NEPA caught them and slammed 2 million naira charge on them. Instead of finding a way to reach a common ground with the NEPA officials, the students reconnected to direct, and began tapping light from another compound. Hearing this, I went straight to the landlord to complain. He didn't respond for a long while. During the time of his silence, the boys continued to find a way to beat NEPA. They had contributed money for wire (they didn't dare come to me for contribution). So, late at night when they were sure NEPA officials would not catch them, they will connect to someone else's wire, then before 5am, they would quickly disconnect. So, we didn't always have light throughout the day for fear of NEPA. We only had light late at night into early morning. And the painful thing was that the light in that area was very good. Almost 20 hours per day. Eventually, the landlord sent some people to issue quit notice to everyone. I was issued too, but the landlord called to tell me not to worry. That I could stay. So, speak with the landlord. |
ogaemma:Who says they must target Israel military facilities? Why did Israel attack in the first place? Is the attack legitimate? Israel claims they attacked because they believe if Iran had nuclear weapons, it would attack it in the future. International laws allows preemptive attacks. But preemptive attack one described as IMMINENT, not one that would happen in the future. Israel's attack on Iran is just a bullying tactic, not a preemptive attack. And the fact that the US overtly supports Israel and Trump (the Zionist) wants to join the war reeks of nothing but bullying. Perhaps Iran has sponsored non-state attacks on Israel in the past, Israel cannot use those as preemptive defense for their unprovoked attack on Iran. US used the atomic bomb to indiscriminately wipe out the Japanese, but look at them pretending to be the only ones capable of using nuclear weapons responsibly. |
nairalanda1:What do you mean Chinua Achebe deserved the year 2000 prize? In year 2000, Chinua Achebe had not published anything since 1988 when he published his last novel "Anthills of the Savanna". You expect the Nobel committee to overlook active writers and give it to someone whose last book was published 12 years ago. When Soyinka won the Prize in 1986, Chinua Achebe had not published anything new in 20 years. His last novel at the time was "A Man of the People" published in 1966. While Achebe was inactive, Soyinka was publishing every year. Gao, who won the Prize in 2000, is not well-known in his native China, but being also French, he is well celebrated in Europe. Many Nobel prize winners are usually not commercial successes like Chinua Achebe. It doesn't mean they are obscure. There are those who read them and they usually belong to a class of readers who value profound writings. Chinua Achebe was a great storyteller, but he struggled as a writer. Imagine a novelist of his fame could only boast of 5 novels in his entire lifetime. How could someone who was inactive most of his writing life be awarded a Nobel Prize in a world where there are writers churning masterclasses nearly every year? Even Soyinka who is not primarily a novelist has as many novels as Achebe. In his genre (play), Soyinka wrote over 30 plays. The fact is Achebe was not in the same class as many of his contemporaries. He was clearly inferior. The only thing he had going for him was the success of just one of his books, "Things Fall Apart". He lived in the shadow of that book until his death while other writers like Mahfouz, Gordimer, Coatzee, Gurnah were publishing powerful books and winning the Nobel Prize. His only strength was his role as editor of the African Writers Series through which he helped many writers, including Wole Soyinka and Nadine Gordimer, to get published. This role earned him the title of "Father of African Literature." A very lame title, considering that he only wrote novels. He wrote poems too, but no one regards his poems. Father of African literature with only 5 novels. For context, Chukwuemeka Ike published close to 15 novels. And they were widely praised. Shouldn't he too have won the Nobel Prize? What about Ben Okri who is way more profound and prolific than Chinua Achebe? If any Nigerian writer should have won it after Soyinka, it wouldn't have been Achebe, as he never deserved it. Ben Okri, Femi Osofisan, Niyi Osundare, JP Clark are some writers who would have won it ahead of Achebe. |
donleo92:Israel cannot single-handely hold Iran in warfare without the help of the United States. Last year October when Iran shot ballistic missiles at Israel, who helped Israel shoot down many of these missiles? The answer is the United States. Israel has a technological edge (all thanks to the United States), but in a one-on-one, Israel will not be so confident. The way you all hype them, one would think they are even in the top ten strongest militaries in the world. Remove the United States from their back, and see whether they would still be this confident to attack Iran. |
donleo92:You people overhype Israel too much. Trump has said the US would defend Israel if Iran retaliates. That is the only reason Iran might not attack. They would hold their own against Israel. But no one wants the United States fighting against them. |
AdventureRoom:Don't pull down the post. He is going to try to scam someone else. Anyone who wants to do due diligence before doing business with him will find your post and avoid the scammer. If not that the police will want to exploit you, I will have suggested that you still report him to the police. So, just leave the post there. If he insists, block his criminal ass. |
Twist4u:How many people has he pulled out of poverty in his personal capacity? How many did he pull out when he was governor? Did poverty not almost double under him when he was governor of Anambra State? I don't know what is wrong with you Nigerians. Why do you fall so quickly for the antics of these politicians? Why? From "I had no shoes" to "Mr Incorruptible" and now, "Mr Saint Obi." The same politicians. Different messianic names. |
SmartPolician:You don't know how the almajiri system works. Being on the street is part of the almajiri education system. GEJ didn't build schools for them to take them off the street. |
I once worked at a boarding school which was built at the base of a rock formation such as this. But the school owners had first got a geologic report that the site was safe before building the school there. Moreover, there had never been a rockfall there, so that was proof that it was safe. At first, I worried myself to death about the rocks falling. But you can't beat nature. I soon began to sleep and to even sleep well at night. The cool air was a blessing. Snakes were not an issue. You would even often see them basking on the rocks during the daytime. But the big ones never came near the school. Only the babies always come. But after many killings, we stopped seeing the babies too. I ended up spending 6 years in that school. Many times, I would even stay behind during holidays (especially short holidays like Muslim holidays or mid-terms) and I would be the only one in the school. During those periods, I would oversleep because it was always cool even at midday. |
