President Trump Declares Divine Authority Is ‘God’s Job’.
“I will never hesitate to wield American power if it’s necessary to defend the United States or to help defend our allies,” he concludes.
He will never hesitate to wield God power too, I bet, but without God knowledge, which he seems to not have much of.
FamilyRe: Standard Of Education Has Plummeted Seriously! by budaatum: 9:16am On May 15, 2025
Couldn't it be that you were not sufficiently mature in your understanding 6 years ago, and social media, and I hope the internet in general, has matured your understanding and that's what has increased your score? Just being here on Nairaland must have provided you with the opportunity to hone the skill of expressing yourself in words better, I'd think, which might have contributed to your 248, perhaps.

I think the internet, assuming social media is not what one limits oneself to, has increased the knowledge most people have access to. The information available today sure beats when we had to rely on books or someone telling us.

The shift, hence, is the need to educate ones self and those one is responsible for instead of leaving it to educators. The information is after all out there, so ask and knock and seek and steal and google if one must know. And that's a skill one ought to be taught these days by ones responsible adults, who mostly today don't know they ought to be teaching it to their kids and instead blame the underfunded school system.

Hey. Just figured you should read what your post made me think. Thanks.

He has specifically pointed out that this lack of investment is hindering progress towards achieving the government’s goals, particularly regarding customer migration to higher tariff bands.

More Details Soon…

Source: https://punchng.com/BREAKING-FG-begins-overhaul-of-DisCos
Discos will have money to invest if government pay their electric bill!

Government agencies, including military and paramilitary forces, remain the largest defaulters, with the Federal Government and its MDAs owing more than N100 billion in unpaid electricity bills. A notable portion of this debt includes N47.1 billion owed by 86 MDAs to the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC). Last year, AEDC issued a 10-day disconnection notice to the agencies, including the Presidential Villa, which reportedly owed N1 billion.

God1000:
Every country is trying to fix their problems, what is Nigeria doing about the numerous problems bedeviling us
This will not fix UK's problem of worker shortages for which they'd still need immigrants.

All that's changed much is they must now come from English speaking countries and have degrees. They'd have difficulty attracting them though, as competition for that class of people is high, and UK still needs to sustain the universities with high fee paying foreign students, English speaking or not.

AbidoyeAyobami:

Reasons Why Nigerians In The UK Are So 'Stingy'


.............................................................................

(1) Culture:

The United Kingdom just like most Western countries has embraced individualism. The system of every man for himself. In Africa, it is collectivism which simply means 'Let's do it as a family, let's grow together' You will hardly see the core Britons help each other financially. They will rather rely on credit facilities from banks, credit cards, and benefits to survive tough financial times. This is unlike Nigeria where 'billing' is almost cultural in the 21st century due to age-long systemic poverty.
Funny, but I'd claim UK is more a 'love your neighbour' country, and not everyone for themselves. Britons are also very helpful of each other, and even all contribute to a national pot to pay out social security payments to those who need it. They provide health care for everyone too, and would not want to leave you homeless on the street. Might you be assuming otherwise because you copy and pasted this with no knowledge whatsoever of core Britons? By golly, we donate to save cats and dogs, and even elephants and starving kids in African countries thousands of miles away.

Nigerians at home beg too much, and there's far too many of you. A Nigerian in Britain might have a mum and dad back home they send money to, and siblings would expect every so often. Then you might have extended family who think you must financially support them or help out in their time of need. And on top of that there's friends and acquaintances who think you are duty bound to help them.

That demand and pressure is bound to make one feel stingy to those one disbeneffits, since there's no way one can satisfy all the demands and pay bills and rent and transport and eat in UK without overburdening oneself.

You're not wrong.
But I think it is Church/Christianity in general.
But, I have been to some Catholic Churches that do a good job of not shying away from some of the inherent contradictions. And the ones that I have been to also do a very good job of outreach surrounding volunteering (serving the community) and social justice.
I got a wonderful copy of the Quran from Westminster Cathedral. Was impressed they brought Imams from Regents Park Mosque, CofE and them together to learn about Islam.

AmazonTopaz, no you're not wrong. But those things existed in societies that didn't have Catholicism too. Yoruba culture sure is patriarchal and sexist, and I'd argue the entire Northern and Southeastern Nigeria culture is too.

Oh! Block lifted. Sorry.

The arriving families, who are part of a group that President Donald Trump has said faces racial discrimination, will then be resettled outside Virginia in 10 states, according to those familiar with the plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to share details of the preparations.

The gulf between WASCE and Jamb is like between O'levels and discontinued A'levels, and has been in place since the later was scrapped, unfortunately. But Nigeria is simply using it to limit graduates, since no work is found for most.

Wise parents are ensuring their children learn skills from like 12 years old. Just thought I'd say.

I don't think you like RFK Jr as Health Secretary for his controversial stance of not supporting Kamala Harris.
You imply there is something fishy about USA chicken which can also be interpreted as America multinationals are making people ill.
Then you should support him.
You don't think I like a health secretary who denies science? Surely even you can don't think better than that?

The UK health secretary says there's something fishy about bleached chicken and hormone fed beef. Tell RFK Jr to go do something about that instead of spreading measles.

---Fantastic news and a good development---so the British can buy Diabetic Cheetos / Chloroquined Chicken--- and in return rich Americans can keep buying Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Bentley and Land Rover without the tariffs---
We UKanians already fight against our own bad chicken, and you think we'd accept junk chicken from USA? You must not know we Brits refuse to poison our children for profit, aside that Bentley is owned by Volkswagen AG, BMW owns the Rolls-Royce trademark. Aston Martin is currently owned by Canadian investor Lawrence Stroll, and Land Rover is owned by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Motors, an Indian multinational conglomerate. Hardly the sort we'd sacrifice our children to, being we are a bit more socialist than American magacapitalists.

Starmer has no deal until he presents it in parliament and we decide if we want it.

Yeah. You tried, and have now reverted somewhat. But as I tell a friend, you are a democracy. You get to change your minds every 4 years. And 'we the people' must experience to believe. Though experience seems down to interpretation these days. Or rather, perhaps people ignore their own experiences and just believe what they are told or choose to believe.

Can't wait for midterms to see what you all decide. And I'm wondering how the choice of (maga or woke) pope would impact the future.

If police botch the job, the family must seek closure from police and sue them for distress caused by their incompetence to not close. That's America too, I think.
