How does bombing a general in Nigeria fighting boko haram relate to terrorism?

Not even on the battlefield, right outside a shopping mall. That na jihadi mindset.

See foolish question.
Your stupidity is in equating ukraine to Bokoharam because putin doesn't like the government. It's not ukaine stealing territories, it's not ukraine flattening cities , it's not ukaine arming north Korea, iran and deploying mercenaries to support military dictators and coupists in Africa.

A general directing war in ukraine from a bunker in Moscow does not equate a civilian.

Good evening to all the elders in the House. Please, I want to ask if a gift of £2000 from friends to add up to the 10% of deposit when doing AIP will not serve as a red flag.

Please, I need urgent answer as my offer has been accepted.
I think you need to hold the gift for over 6 months to be able to use it as deposit, but check with a broker to confirm.

All those things may be true but it will come back to hunt her soon. They will use it to campaign against her when it comes to general election. She ain’t that wise. This is politics and opposition will use it to their own advantage as a divisive person.
From time immemorial, the most effective far-right toolbox is to be pick on a minority group and demonise or denigrate them.

The conservative party is moving right and she is happy to spearhead the charge and will probably seek to outdo Reform with devisive rhetorics over time.

Lol 🤣 so Ms Enoch is not allowed to speak of her lived experiences?

She spoke calmly of HER negative experience with the Nigerian police to illustrate the dichotomy in her view between a bad police force and a proper one - to explain why SHE trusts and values the British police force in contrast to the police she experienced growing up in Nigeria.

She didn't lie or denigrate, she spoke plain facts which I'm sure many Nigerians can relate to, and even worse, at the hands of the police.

Link to the relevant interview clip below.

/video/1
She is just a lady with a strong inferiority complex that believes denigrating cultures of supposed third world countries will show her allegiance to white Britain and the current Reform voters.

Of what relevance is her constant negative depiction of Nigeria to her role as a candidate for prime minister?

At that level, her public speeches not just random off-script talk. She has been taking her time to rehearse speeches with messages to denigrate her countries she thinks will make her look good.

A very shallow lady.

The british police have been raping ladies, one even topped it with murder not long along. She probably sees the police everyday but has nothing bad to say about them.

It is the police in Nigeria she hasn't interacted in for many decades and cultures of countries she know little about she talks about and takes every opportunity she has to denigrate.

She is the kind of child the yorubas call "omo ale". Such a person will sell her parents for money if the price is right.

Trash talk. Are women in marriage being forced to have sex with their husband?

These days, the ladies are even the ones keeping tabs of their sexual activities with their husbands in a marriage, lots of them initiates the move with their man. So where is the pay for sex here?
Don't mind the mumu girl, overfeminism has ravished her brain.

If Sex is work, why bother if the man gets help from outside? She being a by-product of the low paid job her mother her mother undertook hopefully at home.

Some staff of NNAMDI AZIKIWE UNIVERSITY, AWKA are today protesting as a result of their unpaid salaries of 4-5 years. Some staff members of the institution that were employed between 2019 and 2020 are yet to receive a dime as salary and they're calling on the Federal government and other appropriate authorities to come to their aid and savage their situation.

Then as for Nigerians having my back, no, I actively avoid them now . If possible I wil avoid myself too. I've seen enough Shege and bad belle from them cos how can you be 30years in this country and be threatened by my existence, when I haven't even spent 6 months?

What are Nigerians doing in Pakistan? A country that is mired in economic and political turmoil. No country will like to see any set of economic migrants disparage their security forces this way, even if they are right.

Some Nigerians just give others a bad name. They are the ones devaluing the nigerian passport.

If I were the interior minister, I will have their passports cancelled and write to the Pakistani government to declare them persona non grata.

The nigerian passport will continue to be looked down on if government does not deal with those bringing the country to disrepute abroad.

I am still trying to understand this control you speak of in your last paragraph undecided is it the type of control we had when fuel price jumped from N185 to N600 or when the cost of transportation to and from the office trippled overnight? Or when food prices quadrupled over a space of one month? Or when kids schools and landlords increased their fees? Or now that we are still waiting for those in charge to implement the minimum wage increament? cry what is your own definition of the word CONTROL ?

And for your information, the simple reasons that made cheerfulgiver consider taking up a rental was

1. Lowest fuel costs

2. Lowest/No maintenance costs

3. Lowest rental fee compared to other alternatives

4. No need to spend intensive capital to buy/acquire said rental type of vehicle

Why do you think those who mocked him for his sound decision over 8 months ago are now falling over themselves to apply for the same rental deal he is currently enjoying? Even those with their own personal vehicles are not able to accomplish what he is accomplishing upon having sole ownership and control of their own vehicles.

Getting and controlling fast cash is an individual thing, if you aren't cut out for it then you need to work on yourself than blame the cash for coming too fast wink
I get you point, everyone is impacted by the circumstance of the economy but an office person probably can respond better to factors that threatens his income in a more steady manner or long term plan. That is why most banks will rather loan funds to an employee than a small business owner.

See examples of control -

- an office person can has a base pay he can use to plan long term. If you are earning 100k a month, all things being equal, you are able to better project than someone who could earn 200K one month and 20K the next month because his car is faulty of lastma seized the car.

When the petrol price goes up, an office person can actively target hybrid or remote roles to cut costs. They can move closer to their place of work. As an ehailing driver, petrol price goes up and undercuts your profits, you are more constraint and can only respond in a limited manner. You are dependent on the ehailing platform to raise prices. You may try to do offline or some other things to push prices higher, but that could cost you your place in that platform which makes it risky.

cheerful being on rental does not add up. Except the leasor is operating at a loss, cheerful's profit is being undercut by the leasor. Not forgetting the leasor likely has restrictive covenants that limits the free use of the car to pursue his aims.

It's like tinubu claiming to save trillions from oil & FX subsidy removal and yet going on a borrowing spree in spite of high oil prices. It doesn't add up.

Cheerful is still on rentals, how come you having different viewshuh grin grin grin
you guys should not get me wrong, I was only pitying him because of his hard work and hustling spirit, if he should put in this work abroad he will be balling and cashing out effortlessly.
I still stand by my truth its never consistent. grin you or car must breakdown and you will not meet target for that day.
However you cant take it away from cheerfulgiverr and pearl1910 they have been consistently high flyers in this hustle (on this thread) especially cheerful cos pearl only shows dashboard when he earns high and other days baba will say he's busy with other hustle.
Probably for many years now cheerful has indicated (with strong evidence) that he does a million a month.

Why would he be on rentals? Something's not adding up.

Generally though, the problem with fast money is that without discipline, it goes fast also.

The greater challenge with the business is that you have little control over how it goes. You don't control the price of petrol, the price of cars, the cost of servicing, government regulations, fares offered. It makes the driver very dependent on the factors outside his control. While drivers are often very industrous, the inability to control many factors in the business makes it a bit challenging to plan long term and leverage the business to do other things.

An office person, though may earn less has more control over how things go and has a large pool of employers he can switch to to hedge his risks. The presence of some sort of control, gives the office person better leverage to plan long term and more easily make moves.

Borrowing sometimes is inevitable for budget financing and infrastructural development so long as the terms are not injurious to the values of the people and inimical to the same economy which warranted the borrowing.

Also, the money must be used for its purposes and the debt servicing ratio should not inhibit the government recurrent spending.
Na so, where are the trillions saved from subsidy removal?

You can always walk away from the marriage. Your wife will learn to move on.

However, what I observed from this and you previous post is you dont show much maturity or respect to your wife and her family.

The way you treat your wife is a key factor to your progress and grace in life. Check and see homes around you and you'll see this is a time-tested principle.
