Foreign AffairsRe: Photos And Videos Of People Waving At Aircraft In Many Parts Of The World. by Basicend: 11:07am On Sep 07, 2025
The USA peaked about 12 / 15 years ago.

Obviously it's power grip is on a downward trend, and since it's the nucleous of EU and Western inventions, they have also been pulled along the same trend.

Relatively and experiecially, I believe the West will still be better and fairer than the Chinese or Russian rulership of the world. Basically In terms of humanitarianism and fair conscience.

People like you cannot do business. you don't attach emotions in business. The person that sold the items is a sales person and not the owner of the shop. How do you expect him to balance his account? If his oga sack him now, you will say the oga is wicked. That man got his money complete, but will look for one lie to hold on to the money. If he release the phone without getting the money, he should prepare to pay with her salary.
You can attach emotions, but it has to be on a safe level for your business.

You can't sustain customer relationships without measures of emotion bro.
BusinessRe: I Collected A Customer's Phone Because He Couldn't Pay, Now I'm Bothered by Basicend: 9:31am On Sep 06, 2025
You have a good conscience dear. It's clear from ur message.

However, you don't administer a successful business on the premise of conscience. Otherwise, it will die quickly.

Here is my word; if the amount of the customers' debt is something that will not affect ur business much in anyway, you can hand over his phone back to him. It's called customer relationship management.

But if it will shake ur business, then keep it with you.

Remember you are not the biz owner. So get ur boss informed before u take the final decision.

You have done well.

There's no argument on this. We aren't going to be alive when the next world power emerges, that's how long America will still rule.
Lol. Go and check the millitary, economic and human capital scale of the combination of Russia, China, now India, plus Brazil. Then compare it with what America and the EU can offer.

The major plan was to isolate China, but it seems opposite now with this new alliance.

They are quickly effecting and speeding-up de-dollarization.

*** India, Australia and some few countries where being used by the US to contain the expansion and exploits of China. . But Trump has messed things up.

Perhaps if another party comes in, America might gain back global trust gradually. But not with Trump.
Foreign AffairsRe: We've Lost Russia & India To China - Trump Laments (Photos) by Basicend:
A foolish old man. He keeps hurting his closest friends.

China is massive nation of hard working people with high level skill-set and IQ. They think 200 years ahead in almost every area. You can't contain such.

He felt bullying the world with tariffs will make every nation cringe and bow to Trump for negotiation and continous control.

I hope he saw the massive millitary insfatructure that China dispalyed few days ago.

India was his close ally, but felt slamming them 50% tariff is way to go.

Keeping India to his side cld have been a continuous pawnish usage in containing China's growth and greatness, but as usual, the dull clown messed things up.

Now, China's power domainance is absolutely unstoppable at this point.

The upper class don't go to such place much. Any economy that has up to 70% of the middle class shows a booming economy.

PoliticsRe: Governors, Stop Squandering Fuel Subsidy Windfall - Daily Trust by Basicend:
But it's obvious that they were going to squander it selfishly before it's appropriation.

Even the major chunk of the fund with the presidency, is it not hugely being misappropriated?

Truth is, Tinubu is heartless.

Nothing less than 15 people beg me for money while walking or driving everyday to eat or transport etc. So sad. Turned his people to mass beggers in their own land.

Subsidy removal was due, but Naira devaluation at same time is just insensitive and heartless. There are systematic ways of doing these things.

RomanceRe: New Trend Of Naija Women Manipulating Younger Men Into Marriage by Basicend: 11:17am On Aug 19, 2025
Most ladies at that age bracket in Nigeria will conceive it almost impossible to get a man of their dreams again for marriage.

Also due to the prevailing hard economic issue, most struggling matured guys that cld marry them will just sleep with them and escape away.

Calculatively, major thing they will begin to look into at that age is not love, but to have a child for a man that they can see as having a future, or immediate resources to take care of them or at least their child.

Their choices are very limited at this stage, so the pressure is much, hence jumping unto a younger man.

*Once again, such ladies nowadays will only want to birth a child for a man they perceive as having a future. The age factor regardless.

Angelfrost:
Chelsea is currently ahead of every EPL team...!

I mean... They did win the World club cup, even thrashing the UEFA favorites. tongue

So, technically, they are the poster boys to clinch the EPL.

Not to mention having an exceptionally gifted, young and hungry squad.
Chelsea need an upgrade to their GK. Sanchez is not at the level of the other 3 teams. Also, Chelsea usually shine most when you Underate them. Yes, they have a highly young and gifted squad thou and are very good.

I think Liverpool signings will still settle and gell. Wirtz will be a vet great value to them when he settles.

Lastly, I will not be surprised if Man United gets into top 4 by the end of the season. A lot of people are not taking close look at their additions.

It will be very tough for all. I can't decide for now.

Tax Tax Tax and taxing mechanisms, that's the only major thing that Tinubu knows how to create.

How many available alternative revenue streams has he carved-out from the abundant mineral and natural resources on ground.

Many SMEs are crawling due to high cost overheads. But these clowns will rather continue to milk the poor more and more.

Yet, misappropriating the derived proceeds like drunkards. Shame.

Peacecore:
Why are you people feeling sad on gifting out money to the athletes? Are they not Nigerians? They make Nigerians more proud and happier than most politicians sharing billions everyday. Stop politicizing everything abeg
It is called mis-appropriation of public resources.

Falcons have won that same tournament 9 times before this one. Despite Nigeria being in a better economic condition, previous leaders carefully compensated the ladies in relative to the prevailing labour / cost ratio.

This same federal govt that keeps claiming it does not have monies to run the govt, and make live better for Nigerians.

Obviously that is how they have been misallocating our commonwealth amongst themselves without a conscience or carefullness, and that is why we are here today.

President Tinubu raised a very bad standard there.

Highly insensitive IMO.

In a nation where more than 80% are currently trying to get $2 per day to feed. It's not every sure for them at all.

I don't know who is advising this people. It is tru waisting and mis-allocatiing nation's
resources that brought us to this level.

Many have lost their jobs and businesses. Many hardworking labourers have not been paid or do not even earn up to 70k minimum wage.

The ladies shld be encouraged and rewarded but in a realistic way.

Sometimes, he takes decisions as some that is drunk.

If Nathasha had fully complied with the provisions of the court's verdict, which states that she should pay her bailout fee and make specific Newspaper publication with tendering apology to the Senate.

Then, perhaps she may be able to convince the Senate to consider her reinstatement.

She knows the right thing. Despite defying the right process, she still believes she would force her way into the Senate. .

Something is seriously wrong with that lady.
