My brother the hope is real. Many myopic and politically obtuse people still don't understand what's going on in this country and I wouldn't blame them because many of them are simply overloaded with hormones that trigger anger and childish tantrums.

Surely we will get there and from what I have observed about pmbs focus and desires as well as his choice of a man of vision and intelligence like his VP then its only good to stand on hope.

All they think about is their belly. I swear, if god wants to punish them, they should get Atiku, or worst still, Saraki!

I do wish Buhari had like a mini-Buhari that he could hand over to, but no one comes to mind. That is a pity. The only person worth his shoes, in my opinion is Lamido Sanusi, the Emir of Kano, but I can't see why he'd leave his current post to become President. The only other person I can think of is Malam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai. But I think Nigerians would fear too much and not vote for him!

Amazingly, not many Yorubas spring to mind. Anti-Christian rhetoric, would kill Osinbajo's chances, I think, though I'd love to be surprised. He needs a rock in front of him. Bisi Akande would be my other choice, but I doubt he's astute enough to become a presidential candidate, and he's too old. As to Igbo persons. I'm too ignorant to know whom to pick. Ignorance that would hopefully be educated out of me by the next election.

Mujtahida:
In 2014/2015 pressed by the desire for a change from the banalities of the Jonathan government, I fell under the spell of the change mantra. I normally detest herd mentality but I was taken in by the APC well crafted political strategy. It was Buhari's six months inertia and the unclad nepotism of his first appointments that removed the blinkers from my eyes. His stark unintelligence eventually made me turn 360 and today I am staunchly anti Buhari.

Just like you I'm neither APC nor PDP. Once again we are seeing the whipping up of atavistic sentiments as the chief element for political consideration. I will never be a party to this mindlessness again.

Buhari wey no fit yarn without paper na im I go support?

Government, politics is a huge fraud in Nigeria. When illiterate Mallams get deceived it is something to be sad about, but when supposedly educated youths take sides on the deceptive political divide of APC /PDP without seeing that this two categories simply do not exist in the minds of our politicians then one knows that a tragedy of immense proportions is unfolding right before our eyes.

Take the issue of the NASS invasion last week. It was abominable. But still it sounded hollow to me when the word in the air, mouthed by our crafty politicians was that we must protect 'our democracy'. If you look just a bit below the surface, you'd understand what they are saying, you'd understand that they are saying that 'our democracy' is the system that guarantees and legitimises their current lifestyle of graft, of unaccountability, of fraud, of fat bank accounts and the perks of office. That's what is to be protected not any God damn democracy. They really don't care about 'our democracy'.

You don't quite get it! Of course they don't care about our democracy. Wetin concern dem pass to de carry we money go? Ordinary, my local government in the Orolu Kingdom was clearing 200m Naira monthly allocation at some point. To renovate the library, dem no do, and were begging ordinary me to give them my money instead of spending it on the library they were responsible for! But can you say that's what this government has been doing? I can't! When allocation drop to 200k, come see dem de hunger. Na so me I de laff dem! The money no kuku de, so wetin dem wan thief?

Anyone who stops those thieves from stealing we wealth is god for me! Considering how bad we Nigerians have been, Sai Buhari, I beg!

Butterflyle0:
APC won both

Yippee! There is hope for Nigeria yet!

Butterflyle0:
Lmao

See confused fellow projecting his own high blood pressure on me.

APC and PMB has won every election since 2015 and you can chew rocks if it hurts.

Please tell me APC won Bauchi and Kogi!

Butterflyle0:
Run a free history check and see how stupid you sound and how they use their own hands to trash themselves.

Care to ask budaatum?

At least he is on my side

Serious confession o. I'm on Butterflyleo's side with Buhari!
Please quote me if there's any doubt!

MuttleyLaff:
You're too quick to respond to his post



Bud, FarahAideed isnt disputing the price.
The point FarahAideed is making is that the interviewee is an APC sympathiser
and that the slipped in $27/barrel comment was the dead giveaway

The interviewee was not exactly in support of any party, so I wonder where you'd get that from. The $27/barrel was what FarahAideed picked on in his first post, and if he didn't mean how I understood him, he could have said so when asked!

You might want to ask to explain himself instead of giving him the tools to refine what he said!

FarahAideed:
Keep buttress my point Zombie ...27 dollars indeed ..Naij wehdone

What price did you see on the chart? Abi your eye no work?

I meet people like you often. Even in light of clear evidence, they claim their ignorance is knowledge! What I often wonder is whether such people don't mind others seeing how foolish they are, or whether they don't actually know how foolish they are being.

Thankfully, such people de show themselves and those with eyes see.

festwiz:
I washed my clothes, they got clean and then dirty after use.

I've got cancer, I prayed to an all knowing, all loving and caring god. Died soon after.

Who's greater, the man who invented a solution to dirty clothes or the god whom created humans he can't care for??

He put the wrong label on the human being (or maybe people read it wrong).

Perhaps it should have read "wash at 60 degrees" and "don't spin or tumble dry"!

madridguy:
Watch the video again with unbiased mind to get the guy's message.

Who dash monkey banana? Dem they find "unbiased mind" throway for road? Blind man no de see. That's why im de carry stick waka.

FarahAideed:
Another paid APC propaganda ...just one look ate the guy you know he is acting an APC script ..27 dollars per barrel indeed .... Well God will shock Zombies soon shall I can say

I hope you know how to read charts. Here is one for oil. Note the low point in 2016. What price was that please?

Don't mind people. I spent two years back home farming and struggled to find staff despite paying more than the local rate. My people preferred to go and do rankadede to the local politicians than work for a living. Annoyingly, when rankadede paid, politician will drop 20k or more, and they would laugh at the poor sod who's been working all day and whom I paid only a thousand a day. "Who no get sense", they would tell me. Then Buhari entered and turned off the tap and now they are begging for gari say "Buhari no good!"

Yes! Buhari is no good for lazy people, and I like it that way. Rankadede no be job! Person wey no work must to starve!

When Buhari talk am say our youth dem lazy, lack discipline and no get sense, people de do Fela say Nigerian government na im talk am. Hear am now for street o!

The best thing about the Bible is that people have a library of books to read. Imagine how dumb they would be if they read nothing. I'd be surrounded by a whole heap of ignorant idiots! Pity is that people believe what they read in it, but it's a lot better than if they believed what they read in a James Hadley Chase or a Harry Potter, I guess. I'd have been surrounded by a whole heap of criminals or potty people instead of people who believe they'd end up in heaven!

bloodofthelamb:
Our ability to chat together despite we being in different location is as a result of God. God put this things in place long time ago. Man(science) only discovered how it works.

Even so, there is so many things that God has set up from the beginning yet to be discovered by men.

After all, God created Apple, now!

You are a bigot. You must be in the Northern part of Nigeria. It must be something in the North's air that infects people!

What is adeosun still doing in presidency..
Or sagay is now igboman..

Yoruba as a tribe should grow up and stop being petty..

I want to curse you! I want to curse you well well. But what is Adeosun still doing remaining in post, or at least not being investigated for the alleged fake nysc certificate?

So God bless you abundantly plenty today and forever! We Yorubas should indeed grow up!

ahamonyeka:
provided he passed through secondary school he has the right to contest and be a governor of a state. the constitution does not say you must be a university graduate before you could be or contest as a governor.

In fact, I think they should remove that secondary school requirement from the constitution! First, going to secondary school does not make one necessarily a better leader. And second, if people want to be led by an illiterate that should be their choice, for good or bad.

China’s petro-yuan oil contracts surge as US sanctions hit Iran

https://www.rt.com/business/435298-iran-sanctions-china-petro-yuan/

China is expected to become a chief beneficiary of the US unilateral sanctions against the world’s biggest energy producers, including Russia, Iran and Venezuela. The petro-yuan would save China the cost of exchanging dollars, the main global currency used in oil trade. It would also increase the use of the Chinese national currency in global financial trade, challenging the greenback.

In 2016, the Chinese yuan was included in the Special Drawing Right (SDR) basket alongside the US dollar, the Japanese yen, the euro, and the British pound. The move granted yuan the status of a reserve currency.

In 2016, the Yuan became a world reserve currency, in 2018 it became a currency backed by gold.

Budaatum

I'm not arguing with you, you know! Though I am debating some facts. I'm following this thread because I want it to be true! And from an investing position.

I dispute the gold convertible yuan thing, for instance. China has been around a long time so can't be so silly except they mean it as advertising speak, an euphemism for "it has solid backing".

And the only source for some of this news is rt! Though, that may be because the biased mainstreams don't want anyone to know about it.

I'm a keep reading and pray it comes about. God most definitely did put that fool Trump there to help China, if you ask me!

Thanks again for the thread, and mention.

The enemies of this government want to reduce his capacity to provide good governance by engaging in social media attacks and trying to get rid of her. It will not work.” Saraki should resign as a matter of honour, says Sagay

It can never work.
End of DISCUSSION.

I am a supporter of this government. Sai Buhari!

If she forged nysc certificate I can't help wonder what else she might be forging. She should at least be investigated! And if she's a forger and they want her to remain in office, we'd at least know my Sai Bu is a thief after all, or at least, incompetent!

Apc rats won't be happy with you OP

In fact, I'm reporting him. I want him banned, 3 times!

Redhot111:
Bros you intentionally left out were he said it's better to give up ur land than to die. This one is simple comprehension na. He said you only get to talk about ancestral land wen you are alive.

But na president aide talk am now, no be our elected president! Or do you assume president's aide is now president's mouth?

I like you though. Most people would have thrown in insults by now. Seriously, that stupid Adesina was talking absolute crap and Buhari should have sacked him. Ordinary policy that could have been sold better, and he managed to trash it with that stupid talk. If I did not support Buhari, I would be very annoyed myself, so I understand how you feel. I blame Buhari for not hiring more competent staff. And I understand why you say "Buhari said".

Brothers that's the link. Do you can go ahead and lynch Buhari now that you know he actually said that

The president's aide said states that have land should make them available for the federal government to implement its ranching plan.

Or don't you know the difference?

Redhot111:
Bros Buhari told is to handover our ancestral land to fulani or get killed and u still say he is is not the one behind them. How do u explain that

Buhari never told you anything of the sort! How can he possibly say such a stupid thing and we wouldn't kill him ourselves? Did you get this in one of those whatsapp things ignorant people believe and send to one another perhaps?

If you need lies to support your claim, it just shows how false your claim itself is! Provide evidence or stop propagating lies!

Redhot111:
Bros use ur tongue to count teeth. Buhari is the terrorist and should be seen as our common enemy. I don talk my own oo

Yeah. People do think all that stuff you believe. But when these Fulani killings were happening under the previous government, remember all the different people you all claimed were responsible for it? Buhari wasn't amongst them then. And I bet when they continue under the next president, you'd claim a new person is behind them then too.

Buhari's single 'crime' is that he turned off the tap of excessive graft and corruption, the food of the lazy. Anyone who removes food from the mouths of lazy people is bound to be the enemy of the lazy. My hope is that there are more intelligent people than idiots who are willing to believe the nonsense you peddled up there come the next election!

vaxx:
you should know it is not in my habbit calling names. I rather give sample.

But if I must do so because of this topic. I will rather wish you write to this two very anti- Darwin. They both wrote a book name “What Darwin got wrong” by Jerry Fodor and Massimo Piattelli-Malmarini, the two dude both claim they are “card-carrying atheists”. A Google search should tell you much.

Following are two quotes criticising their work:

"At the beginning of their book, they proudly claim to be atheists. Perhaps so. But my suspicion is that, like those scorned Christians, Fodor and Piattelli-Palmarini just cannot stomach the idea that humans might just be organisms, no better than the rest of the living world. We have to be special, superior to other denizens of Planet Earth. Christians are open in their beliefs that humans are special and explaining them lies beyond the scope of science. I just wish that our authors were a little more open that this is their view too."

"Because they are prominent in their own fields, some readers may suppose that they are authorities on evolution who have written a profound and important book. They aren't, and it isn't."

vaxx:
Another famous atheist philosopher named ""Thomas Nagel"" examined the logic (or lack thereof) within Darwinian evolution and physicalism in general. His book is called “Mind & Cosmos: Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature is Almost Certainly False”.

Nagel seems to be arguing between intelligent design and creation science, claiming , "ID is very different from creation science," a distinction many atheist would not make nor agree with and which garners him support from the id'ers. The notion that a designer exists is a contrary position to atheism, so his claim to being an atheist would be contested and appropriately has been.

vaxx:
Your rebuttal to this extreme mention individual will serve the society better than the atheist here on nairaland. With all due respect. I actually do not think all the so called ":athiest " on nairaland have duely convince themselves enough. Maybe some stands out anyway.

Yes, atheists come in all sorts, as I've continously pointed out my self. "It's not as if atheists are all indoctrinated by the same ideas".

Darwin's exposition of Natural Selection has gone through a lot of revision since he wrote about it. Even he knew his work would evolve, which is exactly the point.

vaxx:
only a fundamentalist will reject evolution.. A close minded individual. It might sound funny, but not all athiest are satisfy with evolution theory too.

I wouldn't say I've met a single one on here. Point them out so I can personally educate them please!
