lol it's just the name rhyme , I don't follow football . Well sorry to hear about that bro I hope it's not too serious. May the good Lord heal you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm healed as much as, thank you.

A cousin of mine who came to see me off when I left Naija for the NHS died a week after I left, so I dare not moan. We did not have the same illness, and his was in fact more manageable than mine except in Naija, unfortunately.

Not bad smell. Good smell of Nigerian food being cooked. Ahhhh queens park rangers. Is the medical equipment permanent or temporary?
Permanent.

Well aired home ensures no smell. Just close kitchen door to contain, and open windows and switch on extractor.

QPR has not been in Queen's Park since 1917.

The amount in tariffs collected by the government in July rose to $28 billion, from $26.6 billion in June, $22.2 billion in May, $15.6 billion in April, and $8.2 billion in March, when collections from the new tariffs began.

that's a very interesting story. This is how you can live in the west and not miss naija. You bring the WHOLE family with you 😀😀😀😀😆😆😆😆 the whole flat will be smelling like egusi and ogunfe fufu 😀😀😀😀. Where exactly west ? What's closest tube station ?
Queen's Park station.

Me and my whole family do not smell. Our mother was a theatre nurse. Cleanliness is not optional.

I do still miss Naija. I got relatives there I miss and my farm, and unfortunately can not go because of the health equipment I'd have to take with me.

Was about to eat my one meal of eba one night when a classmate turned up crying. We'd just started poly, and he'd gone home to get money from his brother he'd been saving his wages with for last 5 years, only to be told there was no money.

I was having issues at home at the time and was skint managing 001 with lots of water, but asked him to lets eat my eba first then think what to do.

We decided to live together to save on rent and share resources, which worked fine, especially when my dad took responsibility (9 year dead today incidentally). I'd come home and drop my wallet in the draw where we'd both have access.

Once, his younger brother visited and stayed a couple of days. By the second day he was starving and asked me if we wouldn't eat, to wit I told him we were broke, and would eat at night.

"Broke kẹ? He said. "I gave my brother money when I arrived".

That modafuka brother had been eating out behind our back while we starved! Ruined our friendship, it did.

from what part of London did you go to peckham to shop ? Do you live nearby ? And why is your house the gatecrash pad ?
Aww
Lived in West London, far from Peckham, but bus 36 was direct then as it still is.

My house was the gatecrash pad because I was the first to return, and my siblings and parent soon followed, plus a couple of cousins and a few temporary guests.

There were times I slept in the bath.

When you hire a builder to build you a house, does he move into the house so you don't chop your chop?

Devakumar Edwin has worked for Dangote since 1992. I'm sure he chops comfortably.

Had a cousin live with me once. I gave him my bedroom and I slept on the sofa. He paid no rent, apparently assuming the government paid citizen's rent, and would eat everything left in my pot after I ate.

One day I went to Peckham, bought fish and Guinness and went home to cook rice and dodo. As I was eating, he arrived and asked if I'd taken all I want so he can eat the rest as he normally would, but I told him I hadn't, and would be eating it all as I didn't cook any for him. All the Guinness was mine too, I said, which shocked him as I usually share. "Oh", I said, "and when I finish, I'd like a word please".

"Did your family (my maternal) tell you my family owes you and you should come and collect", I asked. That's when he told me he thought the government was feeding me and paying my rent.

"So, when you see me go to work l, What's that", I asked.

We decided he'd be paying rent and would contribute to electric and water and buy his own food or pay for mine if he eats it. He stayed for 5 years and sensitised the 8 other people who stayed with us in that time.

He did run up my landline with calls to America so I got a £200+ bill. I called the person, got number from itemised bill, and found out it was his friend before confronting him. He said he thought it would not count because the phone was locked and he'd found a way around it.

Israel has provided the food long time ago. UN should do their work
Not that I expect this to make a difference.

Israel knows how much food is needed. It has been calibrating hunger in Gaza for decades, initially calculating shipments to exert pressure while avoiding starvation. Yet data compiled and published by Israel’s own government makes clear that it has been starving Gaza. Between March and June, Israel allowed just 56,000 tonnes of food to enter the territory, Cogat records show, less than a quarter of Gaza’s minimum needs for that period. “The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger,” a senior adviser to the then prime minister, Ehud Olmert, said in 2006. An Israeli court ordered the release of documents showing the details of those macabre sums two years later.

It may be the case as QATAR is threaten to no supply the EU gas.
They can buy from closer Africa.

The warning was delivered in a letter from Qatari Energy Minister Saad al-Kaabi, who also serves as CEO of the state-owned QatarEnergy, to the Belgian government in May 2025, the Welt am Sonntag newspaper reported. In the letter, al-Kaabi expressed concern over a proposed EU directive that would require large companies operating in Europe to ensure respect for human rights and environmental protections throughout their supply chains.

The EU's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) calls for large European companies and non-EU players with a strong presence on the continent to “address adverse human rights and environmental impacts” throughout their global operations.

I've collated some views wrt America
EU deal.
EU will buy $750B of gas to reduce Russia dependency. Last I checked EU is a 27 nation block. It doesn't buy anything,best it can do is negotiate on behalf of it's members. Countries within EU according to the agreement have the option of buying Qatari gas for example if it's cheaper. Definitely it is due to distance and abundance.

Catch. EU countries don't export too much to above example Qatar. They do intra trade and quite a number main export is to America.
They will buy LNG gas at a higher price from America. But thats the beauty of contractual futures and hedging.
EU will force companies to buy more expensive gas from USA?

This I must see.

Thanks for sharing. We agree that it’s a pendulum swing process that goes both ways.
Our constitution is complex and the interpretation is very subjective (IMO) and previous sections subsists, this I am certain of.
You really are one stubborn person, lol, and you cunning too. If you want to subjectively interpret it for your own IMO, that's your prerogative, but don't expect all to replace the objective with your subjective, I'd advise.

The previous implemented constitution of Nigeria was the 1979. Do let me know where you'd be quoting "previous sections" so it "subsist" over the '99. I'm very intrigued.

I do not agree "that it’s a pendulum swing process that goes both ways". And nor do I accept that our constitution, which is very clear on this issue Kemi ignorantly created, "is complex" at all. It couldn't be simpler in my opinion, which I don't expect to be your opinion.
