Sometime earlier this month, around past 7am, just as I was heading out to drop my kids at school, I got a call.

The person claimed someone referred him to me. He said his boss, a senator, urgently needed bags of rice for a birthday giveaway to prisoners and motherless babies. Sounds noble, right?

I gave him the price.

By 8:10am, he requested my account details.

Barely 10 minutes later, he forwarded a transaction receipt of N2.1 million and began calling repeatedly, urging me to send the goods immediately.

He said, “We trusted you enough to pay before seeing you. Please trust us back and send the rice now. We need it urgently.”

But something didn’t sit right with me.

Thankfully, I zoomed in on the receipt and noticed a tiny detail that didn’t match up.

I'll share the major difference here

I forwarded the receipt to my account officer, and guess what?

It was a fake alert.

I quietly thanked God and smiled. Because if I had moved by emotions, pressure, or excitement, I would have lost both goods and capital.

In business, emotion is expensive. Wisdom and structure will save you from tears.

I am so delighted you never fell for this.

Your wisdom and bank balance will increase a million fold.

BREAKING: Financial markets tumble as President Trump continues to attack Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/trump-taunts-jerome-powell-waiting-long-cut-rates-rcna202123

This foolish Man is on a mission to destroy America patapata.

"Bond investors really don’t like the Fed’s independence impaired, and if the president actually did fire Powell, the bond market would throw up all over it and long-term interest rates would go skyward," he said. "It's a really bad idea. A cornerstone of a well-functioning economy like our own is a well-functioning central bank. If we lose that, we lose our economy’s secret sauce."

I beg to differ, and feel Dump should dump Powell and lets see.

I apologise to USAnians who might suffer if true.

On one afternoon as I exited the elevator.....

....they were pacing up and down the banking hall;

These 2 lines should have made you suspect they were yahoo agents working with fraudsters in the bank with the knowledge of the bank.

Make sure you sue plus cost of suing please so you are not out of pocket. Include future income you will not make due to the damage done to your business and reputation too, plus compensation for stress caused. And report the bank to the financial regulator.

With the ever growing threat of China's economic rise and with the west facing industrial irrelevance, The new guy would most likely promote the right wing narrative, The easiest way for the west to spread white nationalism is true the Catholic "church" which has proven time and again to be a very potent machinery in Western politics

Would a future pope really be as stupid as Musk, and do what would obviously kill the Catholic Church like Musk is killing Tesla?

Don't forget to tell me you told me so if and when it happens please that the Catholic Church replaces the very profitable doctrine of Christ for the poverty and stupidity of white nationalism in a world where their current product is far more profitable in the non-white developing world. I'd be amazed.

Who's Valar Morghulis?

Not, "who". What, Lol!

In High Valyrian, "Valar Morghulis" translates to "All men must die". It's a common greeting in Essos, particularly in Braavos, and is often followed by "Valar Dohaeris," meaning "All men must serve".

Who is laughing now.

I am laughing at you for believing dump.

The officers, assuming he is one of their own, wave him through.

I guess some might not see how or why this is a problem.

In enlightened societies, the cloths you wear do not imbue you with any privilege, and it would be discriminatory to assume wearing military wear will get you waved through a check point. But Naija is a different story. Just calling oneself an imam or a pastor is enough to imbue one with privilege.

When atheist me passes through Murtala Mohammed Airport, I put a tesuba on top of my packings, so when its opened and searched its the first thing they see. Also on top will be my Quran, and under that, my Bible.

The Muslims revere the tesuba and the Christians are scared by anything Islamic, and neither would search my luggage any further. But in case either do, my added insurance is the books.

And yes! I am taking advantage of their stupidity and ignorance.

basilico:
The issue is not about China debt. They were already fined $28B by Missouri iIIRC.

Dump refuses to obey court rulings, but you think China will pay a fine issued by a US court, you joker.

I do not believe dump's lies, and I definitely don't consider anything you say to be worthy of any serious attention.

Like we don't expect dump to replace facts with his alternative unreality, lol. Next he'd be releasing a report claiming he won the election he lost too, and aliens from out of space, though I do wonder why he's still hiding the Epstein files.

The below shows how ignorant you are. China holds US bonds that they can easily sell on the open market if they want to, and USA can't even withhold the interest they must regularly pay. I'd like dump to try though, just so you can see what happens when you default.

basilico:
China holds $1.3 trillion of USA debt which might not get paid back.....

Officers who identified as another gender but who did not have a GRC were not allowed to, but if a trans woman had a certificate, they could strip search a female detainee.

https://news.sky.com/story/trans-women-to-be-strip-searched-by-male-transport-police-after-court-ruling-13350577

It's either the British Transport Police are tripping, or the agency that wrote the above article are being mischievous.

Either ways, I'm posting it as a test of comprehension, and I advice it be read twice before you comment.

The below is likely more in tune with the supreme courts judgement, and what the BTP will and should do.

“However, as an interim position while we digest yesterday’s judgment, we have advised our officers that any same-sex searches in custody are to be undertaken in accordance with the biological birth sex of the detainee.

That text that you believed in is nothing but a book written to justify war and Violence against people of contrary believe and opinion based on your so-called man made religion..
The Quran is a shitty book and your brain is dead too

Not true! Just that some ignorant brain dead people use their own misunderstanding of books (see Israel) to justify their own desire for war and violence and theft.

Antichristian2:
Religious madness is when a so-called Muslim eats from the Christian's easter or Sango festival or Eyo Festival or Osun Osogbo when the texts he believes in goes contrary to that!

Its sad you think this way.

I'm from Osogbo, and gods are figments of the imagination, but I'm invited to eat dog when Ogun is worshipped, though I don't because dogs are dirty, and I'm invited to eat the white goat they sacrifice to the River Owala, which flows into the Osun river, which I do eat.

I'm going to church for Easter only because I'm taking an old friend who is a Christian, and I gave to Muslim members of my family when they celebrated Eid.

I'm not mad. I just love my neighbours and my family and friends regardless of their gods.

Asiri1991:
Someone once posted here that Yorubas are descendants of Brazilian slaves: there was nothing like Oduduwa.

I didn't believe it, but this post here is probably suggesting same thing the poster wrote though indirectly.

A thorough research into demographic history should be made.

You are funny.

You might also want to claim it is suggested to you that Nigerians who eat Indomie descended from China, and those who eat pasta are from Italy.

I'm pulling your legs. You did after all mention "thorough research", but I can't help wanting to use your suggestion when I decide to migrate to China or Italy. I'll show them a bowl of pasta or indomie and say I'm just returning to my homeland in China or Italy, and they'll not just give me visa, but give me Italian and Chinese passport.

In fact, let me go find out what they eat in America so I can claim American.

An enlightened Muslim who loves his neighbours.

THIS IS WHY I SAY THEY ARE ALL COMING FROM A PLACE OF HATE.

Coz what's the fúck with her? How is advocating for an innocent person a blight on her child's death? What the fúck is wrong with these people?

Maga cultists are spiteful hateful vermins.

If a black person had killed her daughter she'd be advocating for the imprisonment of all blacks.

PDPGuy:
😂😂

On the food inspection matter, I think the state and local authorities could do an effective job in inspecting produce. For instance, a state like CA should have the resources to engage in statewide food inspections, without federal assistance

CA is not the only state in USA. Many states can't afford it, and repeating inspections state by state costs a lot more.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYXMQnJpa_M?si=C7MvSq3VCkDTW3tA

Good thing though is it gives us here in UK more reason to refuse to allow dodgy food imports from USA.

Sounds more like the thief yelling thief to hide his own thiefing.

Wetin Mr. Powell do ?

Thought he is all good and non party guy.

His job, but not to dump's liking.

The president faces an urgent problem: His trade war against almost every country on Earth is going badly. U.S. financial markets are in turmoil. Trade is withering. Consumer confidence is plunging. Layoffs are beginning. As Trump’s policies wreak havoc, the policies’ author needs an excuse and someone to blame. Powell is that someone.

For some reason, some are surprised some lie like their masters lie, and think the more they lie loke their masters lie the more likely they'd be believed.

---The US economy is finished if Felon 47 won't allowed the Federal Reserve Chief to remain independent---matter of fact he appointed Jerome Powell in November 2017---

I doubt dump knows that, as he's already calling for Powell's head.

The shocking collapse of CBEX,

There is nothing shocking about the collapse of a ponzi scheme that offers to double your money every month.

The only shocking thing about it is so many fools fell for it.

Since you've already gone past 100 level, you should have time and energy to repeat 100 level and learn a skill instead of watching others and not minding your own business.

Take very serious notice of what has been said by NoahHadNoArk!

With sympathy to USAnians, I have been waiting for dump v Powell since he won, and gleefully await for dump to replace Powell with a pro-maga fed chair.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday launched a stinging attack on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, saying his "termination cannot come fast enough!"

https://www.politico.eu/article/trump-says-fed-reserve-chief-powells-termination-cant-come-fast-enough/

Good thing about this perhaps is, dump will fight racism with same vigour he's fighting antisemitism.

"Harvard can no longer be considered even a decent place of learning, and should not be considered on any list of the World's Great Universities or Colleges," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday.

"Harvard is a JOKE, teaches Hate and Stupidity, and should no longer receive Federal Funds."

Talk to Supreme Court judges,not me. I didn't make that ruling yesterday. They did.

The Supreme Court did not make the ruling you are alleging so I don't need to argue with them. And I don't need to argue with you neither when I can just present the facts and leave you to accept you misunderstood or ignore the facts.

The Supreme Court was asked to decide on the proper interpretation of the 2010 Equality Act, which applies across Britain.

Judge Lord Hodge said the ruling should not be seen as a triumph of one side over the other, and stressed that the law still gives protection against discrimination to transgender people.

Gender reassignment is a protected characteristic in law, making it illegal to discriminate against someone on the basis that they are transgender.

[quote author=IjeBos post=135018645][/quote]No one is asking anyone to bend to a bully. And you making out I am asking you to bend to a bully or that I bend to bullies is just gas light and insulting.

The stupid idiots we are talking about do not bully me. In my own opinion and view, if they occupy my time then they would have succeeded in bullying me, but as it is, they are too irrelevant and insignificant and powerless and stupid and ignorant and brainless for me to feel bullied by them or for me to let my time and energy be overconsumed by them.

Besides, ignoring them is as good as slapping them, as it hurts them just as well.

What is equalities act 2010?
The Equality Act 2010 legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society.
So Supreme Court is saying trans are not protected by the act.

With apologies, but this is not true. If you discriminate in employment against a transgender person, you are violating the Equality Act 2010. It is illegal under the act to refuse to hire a transgender because of their transgenderism, and you'd be sacked for violating the Equality Act 2010 if you abuse a transgender colleague at work.

Stating you do not want to be treated by a transgender person is however not discriminating against a transgender person, same as not wanting to be treated by a woman or man is not discriminating against men or women. You can't however say you don't want to be served in a restaurant by a transgender person. If you do, the restauranteur will likely ask you to leave without being served because the transgender can sue the employer for discrimination.

Do note there's also hate crimes. If you abuse a transgender on the street because of their transgenderism, you'd be committing a hate crime similar to abusing a white person because of their whiteness or a hijab wearing woman because of her hijab.
