It's like I knew Seun's bot would catch me if I posted the West Indian Masquerades, which I've now posted here.

And there is me dreaming of our masquerades coming to UK to show off our culture and heritage.

Oyinbo will pay tons just to see us, but of course our whip will need to be in jest since they will pay in advance.

If we are smart, we could even make it an annual celebration like the West Indians have done with carnival. Unfortunately, we Nigerians hardly work together like the numerous Caribbean Islands do.

This is timely, because I want to ethically hack banks that deduct unnecessary charges from my bank account, and ethically hack loan apps so I don't have to pay them, and ethically hack betnaija so I always win when I play, and ethically hack the minds of my fellow Nigerians so we all stop being tribal and anti the religion that is not our own and learn to love others almost as much as we love ourselves!

I'd have said "as much as", but I honestly can not love you like I love me.

Justice Oji acknowledged the procedural flaw and admitted that the adjournment request was “not in compliance with the rules,” but said she would nonetheless accept the letter in the interest of justice due to what she described as the peculiar nature of the matter.

How can you file a case and then not turn up to prosecute?

If they do this again, I hope the judge throws the case out with prejudice!

I think you just watch how experts peel oranges then practice practice pract... till you master it.

Update (With apologies for highjacking InDiscov's thread).

Sunday came, and the wrong address my delivery was sent to never brought it to me. So I called Amazon on Monday and they swiftly refunded me. I reordered immediately, and my order has just arrived.

It's Tuesday. I'm peachy glad.

budaatum:
Annoying this. I ordered a mouse for work due tomorrow as mine stopped working. I even paid extra for next day delivery but Amazon delivered it to a white door while my door is black!

So I called Amazon, and now have to wait till Sunday to see if it arrives or they'll remedy their error.

But at least they've refunded the delivery charge meanwhile.

bayelsaowei:
its a trend..nothing special..

Meanwhile americans are battling with rising cost on essentials..

Have you reported that Mr?

Some shout inflation, but seem to not know its impact.

Time for 'Christmas send money home' again. We've agreed to give the same amount in Naira as last year, but it's costing me less in pounds sterling. Meanwhile, they'd need to spend more in Naira to purchase what they bought last year.

Jerry comes to mind. No matter what Tom does, Jerry just never gets killed!

I think it is true that many Nigerians do not have a reading culture.

I used to ship books to the library in the Orolu Kingdom, and many of my people used to look at me like I was a fool. "Wetin we want take book do?", they'd ask, "abeg, bring the money make we chop!"

I must confess that now, 20 years later, some whisper to each other as I walk our streets saying, "that's the person who made me read".

Where I live, and where there is a thriving reading culture, there are about 10 libraries and lots of bookshops within about a 2 mile radius. Can't say the same about anywhere in Nigeria to the best of my knowledge.

That said, I'm glad for the religious books, the Bible, especially, because god worship has made many need to learn to read, though I'd argue about their understanding.

Sorry, but can't fill your survey because it asks for gender and has no third option nor rather not say.

amazingspiderma:
Lies, and you can't educate them in Maths and Science using Arabic books.

Really? Even though 1 2 3 are Arabic numerals, and Arabs reminded the West of the science the West had forgotten?

Unlimited22:
Please o, can someone explain to me why Ross Ulbricht and the former president of Honduras are getting pardons while the excuse to go after Maduro is being tough on drugs?

I wish I could explain the double standards, but it seems they prefer the opposition leader to Maduro, and to me it looks like kicking out election winner Tinubu for my preferred Peter Obi, likely because he is more amenable to their needs (not claiming he is, mind).

Any democracy on earth should rather not have their candidate become president that way!

SmartPolician:
Agriculture in Nigeria is still subsistence. AI will do nothing in that area because Nigeria is slow in adopting new technologies. Interestingly, agriculture is biggest contributor to Nigeria's GDP.

I was just about to ask if AI will carry hoe and come and till my farm when I can't even get common tractor to till it for me.

SpencerForbes:
Statisense keeps bombarding us with statistics without ever providing proper backing or sourcing methods.

For example, they can claim to give us statistics of the quantity of 'water' in Nigeria across all geopolitical zones without bothering to specify whether they are referring to rainwater, borehole water, treated table water, or streams.

Hmm. They should at least tell us how they got their figures so we don't think they pulled them out of thin air.

mrvitalis:
Name the ones that are not along ethnic lines

I really rather people answer my questions if they want me to answers there's, mrvitalis. It's a courtesy thing, if you know what I mean.

It's after all not like you are paying me to provide you with what you can very easily google yourself and learn.

Just stick "ethnic groups in ancient" any country you are interested in, and you'd get the information you seek.

Oh. And share please so we all can benefit from your learning. Thanks.

mrvitalis:
Why are European countries along ethnic lines instead of holding on to the old Roman county boundaries

Where did you get that there were "Roman county boundaries"?

And who told you "European countries were along ethnic lines"?

Dtruthspeaker:
Everyone knows that they are not the same however in real eyeity and practicality the 2 are well mixed and intertwined and it is based on that perfect that the non genzeeas are respecting

You are very free to assume the words "fear" and "respect" are the same thing and are intertwined, but the fact is they are not.

I'm very certain even you must have friends you do not fear but have a lot of respect for. And many men do not fear their wife but respect her and vice versa.

mrvitalis:
So it had nothing to do with the fact that almost all countries in Europe are along ethnic lines?

Ethnic and tribe for us is tribe and religion for them.

The Vikings ruled England at one time after many wars. And the Irish Republic Army were Catholics fighting English Protestants.

mrvitalis:
What exactly solved the barbarism in Europe tell me

Time. And education. The more people lost their ignorance over time the less barbaric they became.

Its why predominant Christian and white cities like London and New York can elect brown Muslims to be their mayors.

Its like us getting to the point where we realise the content of a person's head is more important than the tribe they are from and the Gods they call on and elect Chukwudi as governor of Kano and Ismaila as governor of Imo, on merit.

mrvitalis:
Bot.

Is that now the new excuse for ignoring evidence and researching for oneself?

Europeans have been far more barbaric than we could possibly ever be, I'll have you know so you don't go thinking white people are superior to you.

There only grace is they eventually learnt from their errors, as we will someday do too. insha'Allah.

FatimaAbubakar:
Keep crying. I want your tears to film up 13 big buckets.

But I'm not crying at all, lol. Though one should for those who are dying, and for you who is "filming".

mrvitalis:
U know the funny thing

Europe would ever agree to have a country like Nigeria in Europe... They would have urged them to split along ethnic lines for peace sake.

I really wish you knew the history of Europe and its current situation before saying this.

Britain was in Europe when IRA was blowing up London, I'd have you know. And we massacred Jews at one point in time, but I guess we've learnt from history.

Below is a list, to prompt your research, from two other countries that are currently in Europe.

Germany
Red Army Faction from 1970 to 1998.
Revolutionary Cells from 1973 to 1993.
National Socialist Underground from 2000 to 2006.

Italy
Years of Lead by far-right neo-Nazi/neo-fascist and far-left Communist/Marxist groups.
Macerata shooting by neo-Nazi Lega Nord member Luca Traini.

As for historical conflicts in Europe that were much worse than in Nigeria, I'll suggest you copy the below into Gemini or Chatgpt or Grok and let them educate you and let us know if you bothered.

Provide a list and commentary of conflicts in Europe that were much worse than Nigeria is currently going through.

And if you want just religious ones, just add it to your query.

We live in the world of AI now, where our lack of knowing is much easierly cured, you see. We just need to admit our lack of knowledge and go get some.

Nigerians are not allowed to comment on American politics today.

Dump is threatening Seun is the reason for Seun's spambot going haywire, I wonder, because i got banned for the below, forwhich I expect to be banned again!

Donald Trump will continue to deal ruthlessly with Islamic terrorists. If you don't like it, you can hug the nearest transformer for free.

Dump will continue doing whatever it is he is doing for 3 more years max, so no, you can not terrorise me to go "hug the nearest transformer" because I have sufficient patience to wait for his term to be up and him be forgotten.

bigpicture001:
..... I, now see such acts as barbaric...

This cracked me up with laughter as I heard in my head my mother's voice as she puts the knife in my 8 year old hand and says, "I guess its barbaric to feed you, but kill the damn chicken so I can feed your younger siblings!"

This generation of children are so lucky they can just go to the supermarket.
