Flangelo12:Since you asked yes I can, and I have no plans to overstay my stay in the US. I don’t believe in illegal migration. It’s better to marry a geriatric than migrate illegally with no peace of mind. |
Flangelo12:Some countries like Mali, I believe have had this bond placements for some months now and returnees had their monies refunded. |
It’s a bond, are some of the previous posters intentionally being mischievous. I believe that this is a good initiative, because the arbitrary denials based off ‘insufficient ties back home’ will reduce and only those with genuine intentions to return will place the bond. We are so twisted that we are offended with the US for not allowing us violate our visa agreement. What kind of country is this? Pay the bond, visit family and friends and collect it upon return. |
Lukiss:You should be prepared to learn mandarin because the new world power will communicate only in Chinese. Also, you must accept communism, denounce your religion and forgo all forms of inclusiveness, ah and yes, you must accept racism and never complain. Food for thought, who is the most successful Blackman in China or Russia? |
Commentor:That’s what people fail to see, Venezuela can’t make America rich, not in the next 10 years, it’s about the global energy market. He will pay Venezuela for the little they produce and ensure no one else gets it thereby making sanctions bite harder. |
Kemetian:No American company has been indicted for illegal mining in Nigeria/Africa, do you care to know how many Chinese companies have been indicted? |
He added that the crude would be sold at market prices, with proceeds controlled by the U.S. government to ensure they benefit both Venezuela and the United States. I thought we were made to believe that he’s stilling it and wouldn’t be paying for it. Note, China was paying below international rate for it. How people rate a country like China that has no morals is bemusing. If Ekweremadu had gone to China he would’ve been a free man today. |
My analysis, The US has declared war on Russia and China but is implementing it in phases. Hatred has blinded a lot of folks from the rationality of Donald Trump. In his first time in office he made history as the first US president to re-establish ties with Taiwan, also went ahead and met with Kim Jong Un to establish peace. He met with Putin severally and tried to improve relationships to the extent of promising to build trump towers in Russia. But there was something common to all these characters, deceit! They toyed with his gesture and made him a laughing stock amongst the committee of nations. Because of Russia Trump had/has a fall out with the EU. Recently, he tried to extend a hand of friendship to Russia in Alaska, Putin came in and pissed all over Trumps home, a high-stake meeting of such calibre was left with no agreement. The US again sponsored bilateral meetings in Saudi, all paid for, for days to weeks, Russia still refused to come to the negotiating table. He kicked Zelenskyy out of the White House to please Putin, still Russia refused to negotiate. But something happened the day he met Zelenskyy at the Vatican that spurred something inside of him. His wrath has been released. He is stockpiling, and needs Venezuela and Greenland for both economic and security purposes. Only naive folks think Venezuela is about oil, America is one of the largest producers of oil, Venezuela has oil but is not in the top 10 largest producers globally. Trump wants the global energy market under his control, then the war begins. Nigeria is strategic to his plans because he needs to stifle China and Russia’s ambitions in West and Central Africa. I still wonder how Nigerians support countries like China and Russia that have no human rights policy. El chapo stood a fair trial, so is Maduro, Russia and China would unalive their adversaries with no fair hearing, if in doubt ask the ghost of Prigozhin. |
Laple0541:Don’t be sentimental, if you have internet listen to what Venezuelans are saying. Their oil never benefitted them. It was only for Maduro and his cronies and he also oppressed them, a more disastrous situation than Nigeria. So no, no Venezuelan will fight for a president that could care less about his people. Like Syria no one cares about Assad, same with Libya, the people don’t miss ghadaffi. The question should be, was Venezuela progressive before communism or after? Records say that when America developed and traded with them they were amongst the richest countries in the world please fact check this. Why isn’t the US stealing Qatar or Saudi oil? These countries are no match for their military, same with Yemen. Why isn’t the US siphoning Libyan oil? Since that’s all they wanted in libya, and you can fact check this, there is currently no American company fully operational in Libya. |
seunmsg:So naive… what if I told you she’s been converted. Has been a covert CIA agent for sometime now… watch as she parlays with the US. Another female president in South America… rings a bell? |
He’s already on it. Phase 1a has been completed - Venezuela. Folks think it’s about their oil, Canada has large volumes too. It about dismantling the oil black market. Since the war in ukraine China has been the greatest benefactor, same as India. Venezuela and Iran oil exports go to China for half the price. In a few weeks that would cease to occur. Phase 2 is lethal tariffs on Russia. And removing their influence across central Africa. Russia controls the gold mines from Burkina Faso to Central African Republic. Traore has already spoken about black winter, and he can’t fight it sadly. |
Venezuelan army defectors appeal to Trump for weapons. Caracas, Jan 30, 2019 (IANS) Venezuelan army defectors are calling on the Donald Trump administration to arm them, in what they call their quest for "freedom", the CNN has said. Former soldiers Carlos Guillen Martinez and Josue Hidalgo Azuaje, who live outside the country, told CNN in an exclusive interview that they wanted the US military's assistance to equip others like them inside the beleaguered nation. "As Venezuelan soldiers, we are making a request to the US to support us, in logistical terms, with communication, with weapons, so we can realise Venezuelan freedom," Guillen Martinez told CNN. "We're not saying that we need only US support, but also Brazil, Colombia, Peru, all brother countries, that are against this dictatorship," Hidalgo Azuaje added. However, they have flatly rejected any suggestion of a broader US military intervention in support of Guaido. The defectors showed Whatsapp groups, through which they claim to reach thousands of angry junior officers and soldiers. They said they were working to bring various disgruntled factions together. "We do not want a foreign government (to) invade our country," Azuaje said. "If we need an incursion, it has to be by Venezuelan soldiers who really want to free Venezuela." They claimed to be in contact with hundreds of willing defectors mostly junior officers, and called on enlisted Venezuelan soldiers to revolt against the Nicolas Maduro regime, through television broadcasts. The defectors -- more than a dozen of whom appeared in one such broadcast -- said that many rank and file soldiers share ordinary Venezuelans' fury at hyperinflation, food scarcity and economic mismanagement that has turned one of South America's richest petro-states into an impoverished wreck, the CNN said. However, despite repeated appeals, the group has seen limited success in inspiring a military revolt. A single unit rose up in Cotiza on January 21 -- its members were swiftly arrested. CNN said it got a rare glimpse of the internal difficulties of dissent in the army, when it met with an enlisted soldier in an underground parking lot here in the capital. "There are soldiers in every unit that are willing to rise up in arms," he told CNN on assurance of anonimity. "They are preparing themselves, learning from past mistakes, waiting for the right moment, so they can hit even harder." He claimed some units have weapons and ammunition that have gone missing and may have been taken to help foment an uprising. "Past operations have failed because the higher-ranking officers were against it. They still control every area, and if an uprising happens, it's swiftly neutralised," he said. He acknowledged the messages sent by defectors from outside Venezuela, and said they were "very positive". "Somehow they give us hope," he said. "They are outside Venezuela, but feed our soul. They inspire us and raise the military's self-esteem." The appeal came as US national security advisor John Bolton on Sunday warned the Maduro government that violence against Venezuela's political opposition, or against its leader and self-declared president Juan Guaido would be met with stern reprisals. He has also appealed to the Venezuelan military to assist in the smooth transition of power from Maduro to Guaido, whom the US has recognised as the legitimate head of state. American officials have repeatedly warned that "no options were off the table", in terms of US intervention. Venezuela's top brass and high ranking officers in the army have shown unflinching loyalty to Maduro, with their declarations in support of his regime airing in a loop on state television. Defense minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez has said that Venezuelan soldiers would "die" for their government. https://www.thequint.com/amp/story/news/hot-news/venezuelan-army-defectors-appeal-to-trump-for-weapons#read-more Venezuelans didn’t like Maduro, but folks who just began reading about geopolitics are screaming sovereignty. No, there has to be a global umpire- UN which has been largely ineffective, but here the US a country balanced by diversity. China has no diversity, neither does Russia, but there’s a piece of all of us in America. China stood by and watched Myanmar monks get slaughtered. Humans are incredulous, if no one comes to a peoples aid, humans are wicked, if someone comes, it’s an infringement on sovereignty. Just like Iran, the people don’t want the Islamic regime, they want to grow the Persian way, but no one cares about their liberation, the only issue is that America should have no part in it. Which country does America siphon its resources? Because as I remember, the US save Germany in WW2, and in Libya there are no American oil companies yet, just bids. |
HacheNoire:This is naive to say the least, mainstream media ratings have dropped in recent years. How many people under the age of 30 get their news from CNN? BBC and co? It’s all social media and it’s a leveled playing ground. America’s biggest weapon is lifestyle. Hence why North Korea banned foreign made media-movies, music etc in the country. The UAE realized this and offered the world the American lifestyle in a safe environment, Saudi has also woken up to the reality. What is this lifestyle? The American dream… no limits, do you, live life to the fullest. |
People keep underestimating the power the United States wield. The day Trump is fed up with Russia it will be quick and surgical. He just needs to ensure golden dome is 100% operational. As for Iran, there’s an incoming government from the US. Remember Iranians are protesting not Americans in Iran. Saudi is pleased, the UAE is pleased, Qatar is scared shitless and has made a deal. During the 12 days war a lot happened off the battle field and the aftermath is what is being witnessed. The world is now a global economy, trade is interconnected, sanctions hurt economies, the Sahel states are too green to understand this, Russia is using their gold to fund its war, but soon the US will turn its attention to the UAE and once that supply chain is broken the war in Ukraine will end. China has also made a deal. |
BreconHills:Buttress your point by alluding to several other cases, similar to Joesph’s conundrum. He rejected disloyalty and adultery but you surmised he was chaste. Where else in the Bible was chastity a requirement? God hates adultery Proverbs 6 24 keeping you from your neighbor’s wife, from the smooth talk of a wayward woman. 25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes. 26 For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread, but another man’s wife preys on your very life. 27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned? 28 Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched? 29 So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished. Mark 10 18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked. “Only God is truly good. 19 But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. You must not cheat anyone. Honor your father and mother.’[a]” 20 “Teacher,” the man replied, “I’ve obeyed all these commandments since I was young.” |
My simple reply to posts like these are everyone has the right to model after a life they deem Godly. I choose christainity everyday because of the person of Jesus and not the religion. A mistake Islamic worshippers make about the Bible is that they assume all of it is the direct word of God, but no, some books are historical, some are prophesies, some are gospels. What establishes the Christian faith is the gospel part. And this is about a man like no other; He never fought for earthly property He never owned an earthly property not even a wife He never coveted power He never started a religion He healed and never killed He loved and never told his followers to hate He taught love those who hate you, for God makes the sun shine on both the good and the bad He taught obedience He taught do not be afraid of those who can kill the flesh but be afraid of those who can kill the spirit He taught to live in peace with all men He taught the beatitudes He fed people and was not fed He paid taxes but did not tax He never encouraged violence. While the Roman’s may have malpractices in their portrayal of the religion his truth in the gospel still stand. I could go on and on but a real Christian’s only mission is to spread the gospel and not to make Christians out of men. Jesus said no one comes to him except those his father wishes to save, so Christian’s must understand that you can’t bring anyone to Christ only God has the power to do so, but we must continually intercede for all souls to be saved. Muslim can own the earth and kill every non Muslim if that’s what pleases them. As a Christian, we know that this earth is not our own, but we are sojourning. PS., even if you take over the US, near impossible, big IF, you’ll have to commit the biggest massacre in human history based of lifestyle differences, look at the mayor of New York’s wife, her dresses are revealing, she met her husband on a hookup app, she would only ever be Muslim in name, not practice, same with the Lebanese and Turks, they’re only Muslims in name with European lifestyles. Lastly, good luck taking over China, Russia, South America, North and South Korea, Japan, Australia, Canada, you’ll literally need to wage a religious war on these countries. |
BreconHills:You’re making inferences, I would have you know that the preceding verse states my master has withheld nothing from me in this house except ‘you’. Meaning he could do as he wished with the servants and maids. If in doubt go back to Egyptian culture. It’s hard to accept and I understand why, you don’t want to put a crack in the absoluteness of your belief. But still…

Aryafucksfinaly:The truth is if the rivers debacle was allowed to play out to a natural conclusion Wike would’ve lost. Fubara had the support of the SS states and PDP governors, he destroyed the state assembly complex and suspended activities. Without Tinubu’s interference Wike wouldn’t have stepped foot in rivers, Fubara is a rascal Incase you haven’t observed. Then again, it is also within the presidents power to rescind his decision about a single term. Wike is not rivers state and while we may enjoy the politicking we must not get consumed by illegality. No individual should place interest above law, and the law gives Fubara the legal right to run a second term. Is Wike a thorn in Tinubu’s flesh, well only he can declare, but if I were Tinubu, for the love of dirty politics, Fubara right now is the woman who told king Solomon to divide the baby in to two so both parties would lose, and I think it’s an evil genius idea, bring in a third force to rule rivers, use the Makinde faction of PDP to put forward a candidate, loyal to the president only, but also a friend to the old guards such as Odili and Amechi. Offer Makinde a ministerial position and automatic ticket for his candidate in the Oyo elections. That way, he has appeased the south south, and south west. If Wike and Fubara cry too much, offer them senatorial or ambassadorial positions. |
Aryafucksfinaly:He who is down fears no fall. He has two options, go out fighting or go out blazing, burn port harcourt to the ground. Tinubu should be worried because now he’s caught between narcissistic despot and a desperate man. |
Fearyourcreator:Apples and oranges… he had a tire blowout not collision… there’s a difference… |
1144AK:Can you step out of your anchor bias and view issues objectively? They’re more cadres and specialties of health care personals in the UK than in Nigeria. The minimum wage for a nurse is approximately £12/hour (24000 NGN) that’s the monthly take home of nurses in Nigeria. I haven’t spoken about EMTs, paramedics, medical technicians, doctor assistants, etc Secondly medications and supplies, the NHS uses nothing but the best medical equipment, supplies and medications, we don’t have to mirror them, we can always leverage on cheaper options from China and India. We have the money to transform our health sector. Even Gaza had ambulances. Let’s stop with the excuses. Politicians spend more than the countries budget annually on healthcare for themselves and their families. I know about medical tourism, and those who patronize it. |
BreconHills:Sorry I must have missed it… do show |
[quote author=Mrexcell post=137943439][/quote]You raised a different issue. Being addicted to sex is a psychological problem and requires clinical attention. In certain societies indulgence in sex whether pre or post marriage doesn’t blur the line between decency and indecency or loyalty and disloyalty. They’re are many unchaste people that wouldn’t sleep with married women as a matter of principle and not religion. For all you know, there were maids assigned to Joseph to take care of his urges. |
nairalanda1:You are wrong. Budgets are not compared in such manner. The UK has a higher wage system and would need a bigger budget by a larger factor. There are countries that operate a decent healthcare system with lesser budget. Calling into the discussion the wasted resources by politician on foreign treatment. While you have chosen to be the devils advocate and continually spill vile rhetoric on this platform, the truth that corruption is our albatross will always prevail. |
Now he can apologize for his ungrateful actions against the British government. You affiliate, recognize and support a country that owes non of its citizens allegiance, a country that has no value for human life, but then ridicule a country that tho not perfect has ensured that life is worth living. Give your support to Kemi when you get back and tell the world the truth that Nigeria isn’t growing at the moment. |
judewrites:It’s one thing to preach/teach abstinence and it’s another to alter biblical verses to fit your narrative. It was never on record that Joseph was chaste. What prevented him from sleeping with potiphar’s wife was not a resolve to chastity but rather loyalty to his master. Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. 5 From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the Lord blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the Lord was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. 6 So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, 7 and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” 8 But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. 9 No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” With that said, avoid fornication as you’re graced to handle, may God help us all. |
And the problem is Makinde and not why a civilian has 50 billion naira to donate. It’s still very ludicrous how people hope a rotten apple can still be juiced. |
Shame on those that let themselves be used as instruments of hate while denying the truth of antisemitism. Barely 3 months since the cease fire and we can see amenities working, well fed citizens loitering the streets and prior to that all we read was this is the worst humanitarian crisis. Where are the malnourished children? Where is the health crisis? Somehow the power, internet and water was still running in Gaza amidst the war. I really would wish an investigation into the so called children genocide (many died but was it collateral damage or murder) and all the media houses and people involved in this spread of lies and hate punished. |
@EFCC, kindly invite Mr Yari to give details about how Mr Tinubu with no know cooperation single handedly financed Buhari’s presidency. |
wandium:The Us is one of the most informed countries in the world. While Trump and his advisors statements may be subject to scrutiny I believe betrayal should also be condemned. The US made Venezuela what it is today. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/18/does-the-us-have-any-real-claim-on-venezuelan-oil-as-stephen-miller-says#:~:text=In%201922%2C%20vast%20petroleum%20reserves,production%20alongside%20mismanagement%20and%20underinvestment. I used an aljezeera source so you wouldn’t retort western propaganda. You can also check on deep seek the Chinese AI. |
Without a strong legal system, state policing may worsen security. We should hold the current crops of police to the highest level of accountability, use technology to monitor their bank accounts associations, conducts and misconducts. I support state policing but somethings need to be done first. Full autonomy of the judiciary, same as EFCC and ICPC. What happened between Yahaya bello and the EFCC May become the order of the day where ex/governors use state officers as lackeys even against the law. |
