Stop distorting obvious facts. It just makes you unsound.

Fox News is right wing and its not banned in UK. We just have no time for their trash.

Stop listening to one persons predictions. They are not prophets nor gods who know everything so stop treating them like they are. Go and educate yourself by studying the available facts and evidence. And while you're at it, cut down on the conspiracy theories.

Global warming is said to cause sea level rises

Manhattan was supposed to be under water according to billionaire Al Gore by 2019.
Before 1978 they were talking about cooling , an ice age forming. After that the dance changed to global warming, acid rains, ozone black holes.

The irony is that the climate change proponents are buying up beach homes eg Obama, Ben Sanders, Zuckerberg etc. Could be a ploy to lower real estate values so they can snap them up on the cheap?

Here is a hilarious link with photos of the climate change predictions that should have ended mother earth by now. eg ice free Arctic circle by 2013

Human activity has definitely caused erratic changes like deforestation.

Human activity including burning fossil fuels and gay revealing pyrotechnic parties, are the cause of global warming, and is why we are warning you to take it serious and change your behaviour instead of denying it.

That statement does not apply to Nigeria of today. You need to understand the state of America and the condition of its citizen at the time Kennedy made that comment.

Depends how you look at it.

Before Nigeria, I love me, and my family and relatives and friends and neighbours and dogs, and I've never expected nor asked "Nigeria" to do anything for me and have always done for myself knowing that if I work hard and learn much, I first will be better off, as would my family and relatives and friends and dogs and neighbours, and Nigeria will have one less stupid and ignorant person and therefore will be better too, and by doing for myself Nigeria is served.

I guess I have a dream. In the future someday, 20, 100, 1000 years time, every or at least many Nigerians will have served themselves by doing the work that makes them less stupid and ignorant, and Nigeria will be better.

Insha Allah, as Joe Biden would day.

You said all one needed was advertisements, and I enlightened you on why your model cannot work. It's like trying to sell a Biafran flag to an Hausa.

Advertisement is not all that's needed nor did I say it was! Go back and read my post and you'd find I used the word juju, and not only for advertising but for all that a businessperson needs to do - though I mentioned only two - to take advantage of an opportunity, scarcity in this case which you pointed out to us and which is far more important than advertising. Just think of me advertising without you first informing me what is scarce and sought after as you did. It would indeed be like "trying to sell a Biafran flag to an Hausa" which implies an incompentency in business as it indicates a lack of the application of research juju. A better business person would know their market, and if you read well, you'd know my "items mocking Nigeria, promoting Nigeria or Nigerians, calling for the breakup of Nigeria, promoting or celebrating Biafria or Yoruba and Hausa and Fulani etc republics or village or ethnic or religious group, etc, or any idea one can package and sell" implies selling to each what they might buy since it's unlikely the same person is likely to buy 'mocking Nigeria' and 'promoting Nigeria or Nigerians'.

Bloghomies:
Does that mean those that took the offer love Nigeria?

If you bothered.... Ah, just let me repeat it for you and it might click.

items mocking Nigeria, promoting Nigeria or Nigerians, calling for the breakup of Nigeria, promoting or celebrating Biafria or Yoruba and Hausa and Fulani etc republics or village or ethnic or religious group, etc, or any idea one can package and sell"

'Items mocking' was carefully placed to guide against your assumption above.

Your "independence day promos" is proof of my point and I'm glad you did not let the occasion pass you by without filling your pocket. You took advantage of Independence Day for your own profit and not for love of Nigeria, as a competent business person would. What kind of food does your restaurant sell?

The bone of contention is the sale of Independence day decorative wears and accessories.

I hope you do not limit yourself as you have pressumed to limit me with very little knowledge of my business experience. Just to be clear, I'm in this thread because of the presumption of the op which I pressume is wrong but I do not expect everyone to see my point or agree with me. Fact is, he went to buy but could not find, which is the bases for researching a business opportunity.

Some will take from this thread that the bone of contention is the sale of anything that can be sold for profit specifically during independence. It could be items mocking Nigeria, promoting Nigeria or Nigerians, calling for the breakup of Nigeria, promoting or celebrating Biafria or Yoruba and Hausa and Fulani etc republics or village or ethnic or religious group, etc, or any idea one can package and sell.

I make enough from my 'business' to not bother much about the "sale of Independence day decorative wears and accessories" as the return would be a waste of my time resource. However, a sales dept in a business I'm 50% invested in did Independence Day Special and hit 47% increase over same day last year with lots of not yet processed orders. 70% increase is projected if last year is mimicked.

As Adam Smith suggests, business people are not in business for sentiment but for the profit it puts in their pocket.

False!! He was talking about the democrats politicizing the coronavirus crises and using it to launch political attacks against him and he said this is their new hoax after the Russia hoax failed. This is another case of liberal dishonesty deliberately quoting Trump out of context just like his Charlottesville comment of fine people on both sides. As at the time Trump was making this speech he had already set up a covid response team led by Vice president Pence so why would he do that if he believed it was a hoax.

I bet you are far too wise to deny that quite a lot of his magas believed he was saying coronavirus was a hoax created by those evil liberal democrats who were using it to destroy the economy so they could win in November after their failed impeachment attempt.

If you aren't, I'd say ask the magas here if they did not believe "coronavirus was a democrat hoax" but I'm certain they'd deny it now, so kindly go back to February in this thread and read magas saying "coronavirus was a democrat hoax".

Silly talk.
There has got to be a demand for a product before you jump in to bridge the gap.

A good businessperson does not wait for demand. They create demand by advertising.

whirlwind7:
So, why not take advantage of it then, if you are convinced it will be a brisk business?

This is not my business. It is not what I sell.

whirlwind7:
Order for a truckload of the flag and see how many people will ask you about the price, much less buy.

Flags are not the only thing to sell. Just by reading here, a "Nigeria has failed and patriotism is dead" banner might fly off the shelf along with Long Live Biafra or Yoruba Republic teeshirts.

The wise businessman understands that Nigerians won't buy them (e no go move market) because Nigeria has failed and patriotism is dead

The businessman you describe above is not wise, nor is he a good businessman. A wise businessman would not be in the business of selling patriotism but in the business of money and profit making, and would supply what would be bought, which may include "Nigeria has failed and patriotism is dead", packaged so it is bought.

flamingREED:
Trump countered his big lies with more bogus truths..

The Ministry of Truth (Newspeak: Minitrue) is the ministry of propaganda. As with the other ministries in the novel, the name Ministry of Truth is a misnomer because in reality it serves the opposite: it is responsible for any necessary falsification of historical events. However, like the other ministries, the name is also apt because it decides what "truth" is in Oceania.

As well as administering "truth", the ministry spreads a new language amongst the populace called Newspeak, in which, for example, "truth" is understood to mean statements like 2 + 2 = 5 when the situation warrants. In keeping with the concept of doublethink, the ministry is thus aptly named in that it creates/manufactures "truth" in the Newspeak sense of the word. The book describes the doctoring of historical records to show a government-approved version of events.

kkins25:
you know, i've been thinking; of what use would it be to educate just a miniscule fragment of the populace? The majority would always dictate how the world is run. The kindred spirit would always be bullies and eventually crushed by the majority of the populace who as history as shown- hate the burden of knowledge. moreso,there are those who are satans and are doing everything in their power to keep the people blind and the shadows far away from the warmth and comfort of the bosoms of the Logos.

It is untrue that the majority hate the burden of knowledge. The opposite is in fact true as seen by how we consume telly and the internet today. Nigeria, just 40 years ago, you'd had to listen out for vendor and hope he hadn't sold out of your desired read or you've convinced him to reserve a copy for you because you are a sure buyer. Even book reading has increased astronomically since.

Why would you want to "educate just a miniscule fragment of the populace"? Is it not by educating more of the populace that you ensure the majority are the educated? A teacher's job is to empower the student with the tools to manoeuvre around "those who are satans and are doing everything in their power to keep the people blind and the shadows far away from the warmth and comfort of the bosoms of the Logos".

kkins25:
Can one really gain a higher understanding by just reading a religious book like many muslims do?

Are you aware that most people on earth have never read a book, and that more people are reading more than only one book these days, especially compared to the past? I call it the Wonder of a Thousand Step Journeys. We was once given Bibles in my Baptist school. Many dumped there's, both Muslims and Christians, I could have gone home with 20 if I'd wanted to. Now more are begging for copies of Quran and Bible.

Anyway, to answer your question. Will a higher undestanding be gained by those who read a book?

If the supply of a product is low or zero, the only logical reason in this scenario is the lack of demand.

If?

If the supply of a product is low or zero, its because no one has bothered to do supply juju.

Bloghomies:
Just as coronavirus opened up a new market of a nose mask, the same way that seasons like this impact on business - like Christmas!.

Which an astute businessman sees as it opens and takes position to profit.

Bloghomies:
People lack the patriotic spirit, hence there were no buzz, reminders, preparation, or pre-orders of decorative wears..

This is fuzzy. First, there's nothing called 'people'. There are only businessman and consumers. And there's nothing called 'patriotic spirit' unless someone goes an inspirits patriotism in
people. A 'patriotic spirit' does not just fall on people as they mindlessly walk down the street.

Businessman does supply juju to scarce product then does a juju called marketing to create "buzz, reminders, preparation, or pre-orders of decorative wears" which then creates demand which businessman books as profit.

Bloghomies:
This lead to the pathetic state of the current market. The day is not being recognized by both consumers and producers. It's a red sign!

I agree that your version "leads to the pathetic state of the current market". If only I was a businessperson.

I don't often comment on politics. In fact, I try to desist from it, since it inevitably forces me to choose a side.

As a businessman, that is something I don't do. I have to serve customers irrespective of their political beliefs.

Tomorrow being Nigeria's Independence Day, I reasoned that I need to put up some decoration to key our customers into the season.

Would you believe that I went to the market, and I couldn't find any green and white material, flag, scarf, or anything at all that one can use for the independence celebration?

I had to buy one yard of green and a white material, and send it to my tailor to sew a flag. Yet, the market was full, busy, but no material or accessory to key into this monument day?

Nigeria has failed the average Nigerian, and it is written in all our faces. Irrespective of which party you support, you know, deep down, we've been cheated.

A moment that should bring celebration looks like a gloomy, scary jungle where everyone is hunting for their next meal.

But no matter what happens, play your part, be good. If your dream job isn't coming, start a business.

Nigeria has not failed here! A businessman has just failed to take advantage of a business opportunity!
