Foreign Affairs › Re: Gay Israeli Soldier Proudly Displays LGBTQ Flag On Gaza Soil by bjdon: 5:01pm On Nov 28, 2024
Salewa97:
That would be a good propaganda for the Israel government.

The gay rights activists in the world would be interested in the Israel and Hamas war.

Smart move from Israel
Top propaganda move of the war. A lot of guys in Europe and US will now support Israel. Very smart move!
Foreign Affairs › Re: Labour MP Calls For Blasphemy Laws in the UK. by bjdon: 1:29pm On Nov 28, 2024
Botragelad:
A Pakistani Muslim is trying so hard to bring his trash Islamic laws into the UK. These are the same barbaric laws that allow Muslims Lynch people of different faith and lie against them. Pakistan,his home country Is a mess from all the Islamic laws and nonsense.

Few hours ago, we found out that the lady laid a false accusation against the man who was killed for the so called "islamophobia" . That's exactly what this MP is calling for in the UK. Now if you want blasphemy laws so bad then go back to your Muslim land. People criticize and insult Christianity, Judaism,etc but you don't see them lynching the critics like Islamists permits.

The UK for one was built on strong Christian value and I don't see why this trash blasphemy is being discussed. It's within your human Right to criticize any religion, and Islam isn't special. Call it what it is. It's okay to criticize Islam. This woke islamophobia virus needs to be uprooted. We can't have people who will be too scared to call Islam out whenever we want.
it will never pass, and even if the uselaw does pass, it will be revoked once the convervatives get back in. These muslims are a cancer on open socities. They never want to integrate, they just want to turn other nations into the shit hole countries they migrated from

Thousands if not millions have been murdered worldwide by Muslims, thousands raped in the UK by Muslims, no one is talking about that, but here we are having a conversation about blasphemy laws so you don't get to criticize Islam.

Will keep repeating it,do not fall for Islamic blackmail when you call them out. If they want to get hurt, that's their problem. You are a human,stand your ground and take this filth out of your society!

Nigerians will always vote based on tribal or religious sentiments and that's why I always advocate going back to regional government
That would make a lot of sense. Let each region face their issues with their own people in charge

You can't elect any messiah president under the present political structure and governance system created by the north through northern military dictators. That's why rotation of the presidential seat is it.
Why not? The issue has nothing to do with the system and everything to do with the people and their IQ. Northerners who suffered the most under 8 years of APC with Buhari, still went out to vote APC because of muslim-muslim ticket. That was the very definition of low IQ behaviour.
Yoruba people who knew Tinubu had nothing to offer still voted for him because of tribal sentiments, again low IQ things. Until the citizens of this country put competence over ethnic sentiments the country will not move forward, but instead will just go from one low IQ Northerner to a low IQ southerner and back again. Should we not be better than that?
Politics › Re: 2027: It May Not Be Tinubu But Power Can’t Return To North – Okupe by bjdon: 12:15pm On Nov 27, 2024
Trust low IQ black people. Anything about tribe gets you guys all excited. Why is the ethnicity of a president an issue? The country is facing economic and social collapse. Nothing works. Corruption has eaten deep into the fabric of all sectors. Should the focus not be on electing leaders who will address these problems rather than their ethnicity? For the average southerner how has your life improved with Tinubu? For the average northerner, how did your life improve with Buhari? Nonsense.

Haba now, we are in 2024. All they need to do is get pregnant via IVF. Genetic screening will be done on the embryo's to ensure they are not SS.
To be hones I guess that may be very exspensive in Nigeria, so maybe it's for the best they call it off
Politics › Re: Tinubu Seeks Senate’s Approval Of Fresh ₦‎1.767 Trillion External Borrowing by bjdon: 7:03pm On Nov 19, 2024
Nigerians need to GROW UP and face reality.
People either have to pay MUCH MORE tax in the form of indirect and direct taxation or the govt has to borrow. People seem to think they can get something for nothing. No be so. In the developed world you are taxed to the teeth. Income tax, property tax, fuel tax, VAT /sales tax on practically everything......
Personally I would love to see Nigerians made to pay more tax, that way this there 'I don care' attitude to how they are governed will finally end

You were 100% correct to leave the group. Please ignore what the previous poster wrote. You have responsibility for your mental health and well being. I know people who barley talk to their own siblings (same father and mother) because they cant deal with the drama.
Focus on on yourself, do what makes you happy and avoid what annoys or hurts you. Your life will be much more fulfilled that way.

I actually had some hope in tinubu but sincerely the man has been a monumental disaster. You can't even hold on to one thing he is doing right. I just hope the man won't truncate this democracy with the level of suffering he is subjecting people while he continues with his profligacy
Out of curiosity, could you share why you had high hopes for Tinubu?

These ones should be declared the new SI Unit for stupidity. They think Trump and the republicans are going to put pressure to stop the war. What jokers! Trump just appointed Mick Huckabee as US ambassador to Israel. This is a man who has said in the past that there is no such thing as Palestinians or the West Bank. The same Trump that moved Isreal's embassy to Jerusalem. They will see shagee over the next 4 years.
Politics › Re: Corruption We Discovered In Power Sector Will Make You Cry - EFCC Boss Olukoyede by bjdon: 4:22pm On Nov 13, 2024
Corruption is part of our DNA. The only way to move the country forward is for the private sector to be responsible for all aspects of the productive economy. If Dangote or Rabiu build a power station or transmission grid, you know it will work to a high quality because that's the only way they'll make profit.
Nothing the govt puts hands in can work in this country, from Power to Refinery to Telecom. We should have all leant this lesson by now
Politics › Re: IMF: Property Taxes Can Help Nigeria, Others Develop by bjdon: 12:34pm On Nov 13, 2024
WeddingParol:
I am not againt reasonable taxation in Nigeria but my concerns are:

1. How have we judiciously utilised the ones being collected?

2. Have we blocked the tax collectation leakages from the existing ones?

3. What has the government done with regards to embezzlement and misappropriation of the taxes currently collected?

4. What measures have been deployed to stop the use of public taxes to finance the flamboyant lifestyles of civil servants and politicians alike?

5. The informal tax collection by the likes of NURTW, Local governments touts and some Unions, how has the government streamlined it to ensure proper remittance instead of the back-door shearing arrangements currently practised with the civil servants and politicians.

Before some of you who have not even travelled outside your village will start comparing Nigeria with your saner climes in terms of taxation, note that non of the above mentioned points/questions is in practice over there.
Valid questions. I feel once people start paying taxes, they will begin to hold government to account.

I used to praise white people until

I traveled abroad and understood that the MAIN GOAL of white man is to exploit Africans.

They know you want to japa
They best they can do is milk you out of cash
Then Deny you visa grin grin

Some embassies will say wait till next week
Then they send you Visa Denial Letter
Telling you you don't have Enough Proof that you can sustain yourself over there.

Very humiliating and disrespectful

Meanwhile the poorest Mexicans dey enter USA steadily some of them without papers
Why should they respect you?
You are the one who is desperate to enter their country. How many White Americans or White Europeans are queuing up for Nigerian visa?
Respect is not given it is earned. The Japanese, Malaysians, South Koreans are examples of people who have built up their nations and FORCED the Western nations to respect them.
Here we elect a man with a record of drug related offenses to be president and you are asking for respect. I laugh in Bini grin grin

The simple truth is we are too lawless in Nigeria. In Abuja there's no way anyone will demolish your building, if you went through the correct channels. No where in the developed world are illegal structures allowed. It's not Wike's responsibility to relocate those affected. Sorry but that's the simple truth.

Politics › Re: Past CBN Governors Used Unorthodox Methods To Grow Nigeria’s Economy – Cardoso by bjdon: 9:29am On Oct 30, 2024
How does raising innterest rates help to fight inflation in Nigeira? Our inflation is not casused by too much moeny in circulation, it's caused by the high cost of fuel and the multiplier effect of that across the economy. If you like raise interest rates to 1000% it wont' make a darn bit of diffference to inflation. All it will do is raise the cost of capital and actually casue more business to fail.

Christlike01:
I think everyone can see very clearly now why the North will never support regionalism and change of 1999 constitution! Northerners are leeches - parasites feeding on the resources of the South to survive. You bring almost nothing to the table but you always like to have the largest share of the meal - no be madness be that ? I've been saying it;North is the major problem of Nigeria and that's because it is a region that's deeply rooted in archaic Islamic ideologies. You can check anywhere in the world with such retrogressive ideologies and see for yourself how they're faring - Yemen , Afghanistan, Somalia, Pakistan, etc.

Las las,we go brake up this unworkable contraption called Nigeria and everybody go answer their papa names! Funny people, you claim alcohol is "Haram" but you want the largest share from its sales proceeds!
Almost every word you've said is true. The one point i disagree with is the 'biggest problem in Nigeria' The north is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is the lack of southern unity. As long as Yoruba and Igbo do not see eye to eye, the North will continue to play each side against the other. If the south could be united we could drive a positive agenda for this country based on fiscal federalism and regional autonomy. Sadly even in the younger generations the deep southern divide persists.
Politics › Re: Northern Governors Oppose Proposed Tax Reform Bill, Ask NASS To Reject It by bjdon: 12:37pm On Oct 29, 2024
The current VAT sharing formula is just another way the south subsidizes the North. VAT is paid on goods services in a particular location. If my state has made efforts to increase economic activity, why should the VAT from such activity be going to another state? Without these kind of reforms the north will NEVER stand on it's feet and will remain poor, backward and underdeveloped

IGBOPROMISE1:
But what exactly is the problem? Isn’t it the same Islam they’re practicing that Dubai, Qatar, etc, are also practicing? I think the problem may have more to do with them being black Africans than anything else because i can’t put my finger on why they have refused to be a progressive society since the days of Sir Ahmadu Bello!
It's nothing to do with Islam. As you point out there are many developed Islamic nations. It's more to do with a regressive, feudal African mindset
Politics › Re: Hardship More Pronounced In North Than South –govs by bjdon: 6:24pm On Oct 28, 2024
The North is poor, has been poor and will remain poor, as long as they refuse to embrace education and modern practices. Where you have a poor manual worker having more than 10 kids, and just letting them go off and become beggars, how the heck can such a society EVER progress? When Sanusi tried to tell them some home truths, they got rid of him. Now the man is quiet. They don't want to hear the truth.

This is extremely impossible. If Trump should win, it would be via the electoral college. He can't win a popular vote.
As vocal as his base is, they are in the minority. He stands no chance in a true democracy.
Trump normally outperform the polls by about 3 to 4 points, and he's currently practically tied with Harris. 8ve already placed 2 bets that he wins both the vote and the electoral college. Easiest money I'll make this year
Foreign Affairs › Re: With 10 Days To Go To The USA Presidential Election, Here Is My Prediction by bjdon: 9:38am On Oct 26, 2024
I expect Trump to win both the popular vote and electoral collage, but Yakubu will announce a landslide for Harris at 3am while counting is still on going! grin
