People are intentionally dishonest on this thread because it serves the purpose of their argument.
No other explanation.
If they really think racism isn’t an issue, let them go to a sundown town and stay until sundown. Or better yet? Let them send their kids to such areas after dark.

Not only on this thread. Its a maga thing to lie.

Any ideas, anyone?

Nigeria's 650,000 bpd Dangote Refinery faces a prolonged gasoline outage after reports that repairs to its catalytic cracking unit could take two to three months, far longer than the earlier two-week estimate. The refinery's Residue Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit (RFCCU), the key gasoline-making unit, has been offline since August 29 following catalyst leaks, with Reuters citing IIR Energy analysis as saying that major equipment replacement is required, extending downtime into November.

Trump to abuse Mitch soon.

Democrats should start on the hypocrite first.

He also glossed over his own responsibility for handing Trump so much power. As majority leader, McConnell maneuvered to deny Barack Obama a rightful supreme court pick, and rushed to give Trump another in the final weeks of his first term in 2020. It made McConnell the architect of the current ultraconservative 6-3 majority on a panel that critics say has been overly loyal to Trump, not least last year’s astonishing ruling giving him immunity for criminal acts.

IjeBos:
I've always been told that Africans are less quick to call things racism. My friends usually call me out as I try to find alternate rationales for things that they see to be obvious racism.
My problem is that if I can find a somewhat plausible rational for an action, then I can't be sure it's racism, so I won't call it racism.
Do you think that may play a role in your experience?

Actually, no. Being African does not make me less quick to call things racist. I see racism on our streets a lot, especially with police and black drivers.

I myself once had 3 producers in a week, but I can't claim to have experienced racism much, because as soon as I open my mouth, potential racist idiots tend to not be racist towards me.

Racists choose weak people just as bullies do, and I don't seem to come across as one they can bully, I think. And I speak English better than some natives, so that tends to stymy them.

raumdeuter:
Kamala spent all her Life in US, Kemi spent a lot of her life in UK, Maybe UK is a quite racist then

I've lived more of my life in UK than Kemi, and I must confess that my experience of racism is limited. I just need open my mouth and the racists tend to whither, I find.

It would be stupid however, to make out my own experience is the norm, and claim racism that I know exist does not exist, as I can bet Kemi will find out at the next elections if she survives that long.

I also think its dishonest to claim racism is not a huge thing in USA, but those who make such claims must have their reasons I guess, though I can't for the life of me figure.

Mariangeles:
If you were an angel, you'd definitely be impatient.😀

I likely might be, though as a human, I've been described as patient and long suffering.

My siblings will tell you my rope is so long that it never seems to end, but when it does end, no more rope. You can check my post history to see if true or not, I guess

Regardless, I hope the op understands my post.

Dude, if your calling is divine, the divine God will have given you the knowledge to record your songs already (like paper or a phone), and provided you with the divine means to produce them (like youtube or Instagram).

And I do think the divine God has already done the above, but for some reason, you haven't yet figured out how to.

I doubt you are a Muslim, but you do sound like one the Angel Gabriel is ministering the Quran to while you refuse to record what the Angel tells you.

I tell you, the Angel Gabriel will get bored of you if you do not change your ways, and will go find someone else to be its Mohammed who will record the songs it gives to you.

Failure will not be your portion. Amen.

I must say, I am learning from Trump what sort of leaders we should do our utmost to not have.

I can just see him already, causing war between our diverse ethnic groups and only favouring his own, while he pockets any money made while we are killing each other.

I am also learning from Xi Jinping how nations can be transformed from very poor to exceedingly rich in like 20 years. Though I can't see us practicing Chinese communism any time soon.

I don't expect any foreign leader to come lead Nigeria, but I do hope we don't think it "damn stupid or daft or just being a disgrace to your entire generation" if we learn from them.

basilico:
I would like to know in what basis they banned every vaccine mandate. If it was based on science . I do believe there are vaccines globally which are mandatory , Small pox, chickenpox, diphtheria,polio ,tetanus etc that have been exhaustively tested and have seen eradication of those diseases.

In other news 1000 HHS staff signed a letter calling on Kennedy Jr to resign.

Kennedy is making those vaccines non-mandatory.

And do you understand the implications at all?

MaxInDHouse:
Knowledge of GOOD and EVIL is POLITICS that was raised in the garden leading Adam and Eve to support Satan and turn against God. God intended they multiply through reproductive means which is sex.
There decision to become like God means preparedness to abandon God's standards and setting their own for their yet unborn children.

There is nowhere in the text where it is claimed Adam and Eve will multiply in anyway whatsoever. In fact, their multiplication was more like a curse after they had supposedly disobeyed the God:

“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

As opposed to God's Image who were actually blessed:

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Anyone who studies Christ in the Gospels would know that the way to the supposed eternal life is through the Word, which is knowledge, fruits of which we read in the Gospels he fed everyone. But unfortunately for us, despite it shinning in the dark and never overcome by it, "the world did not recognize him", and the Light is not seen by most. Instead many use Christ for its opposite of freeing people to rule and multiply and subdue, and instead make naked ignorant slaves of people.

Thankfully, Christ is risen indeed, and eventually all knees shall bow to the wisdom and knowledge of the Lord.

oridavid:
Anyone can believe whatever they like. If this is what you believe, i can understand and I respect it. I don't want to try to convince you. Thank you.

Believe? That's like making crap up and claiming its true despite evidence to the contrary.

buda does not do believe.

Those who brought us Christianity sang songs about Britannia ruling before they got on the ship to fulfil their supposed God given mandate to rule the earth and subdue those they met, and multiply and be blessed.

They knew, or rather, finally figured out, after being subjugated as mud to work in a garden for Rome - the first to understand the difference between being created in God's image and being created from mud - that they too can assume to be created in God's image. All they had to do was eat fruits of knowledge, which they duly did, and which is what enabled them to rule and subdue those they met.

It took Britain almost 1500 years for their eyes to open, and thankfully, with this age of the internet its likely to take us much less, like 100 years.

We will eat fruits of knowledge like the Image of the Gods do, and then shall we too become like Gods, such that when we say "let there be", we shall not cry NEPA! Because there most definitely will be. Amen.

We just need to allow ourselves to become as children who abandon the crap we've been programmed to believe (which is not knowing), and let Christ rub mud in our eyes so we may see. But that's no easy feat, for as Christ said, camels through needles eye, which explains the resistance of those like you who currently refuse to see the difference between Image of God that rules and subdues and multiplies and is blessed, and a naked creation from mud that slaves ignorantly in a poxy tiny garden.

Hello,

Please accept my apology for an issue with the anti-spam and moderation bot code that caused a lot of innocent posts to be hidden over a couple of days. We fixed the issue yesterday evening. We are also planning to restore the incorrectly hidden posts before the end of the day.

Regards,
Seun Osewa.

What rule is your spambot against here, so I can stop breaking it please?

And have you reinstated my previous posts your out of control spambot deleted?

This is what happens when basilico is hired for his imaginating.

Time will reveal all. Some of us said it here way back then that without elite machinery Hamilton has never competed. Go and check his record after the first two McLaren years till he got that Mercedes rocket 🚀 and since he no longer had it and you will see that he had no business being ranked over Schumacher.

I would never rank Hamilton over Schumacher because my bias wouldn't let me.

Schuey trained as a mechanic, and knew a lot more about cars than Hamilton who never learnt to set up his cart not to talk of contribute to building an F1 car, which is what Ferrari need at the moment. And he was a superb driver who could get cars to do what they shouldn't be capable of doing.

If Hamilton however gets this car to win races, I'd have to eat my hat and accept the facts of his greatness.

MaxInDHouse:
Guy i don't have time for blind argument if you don't agree with God's word that says Adam and Eve should multiply and fill the earth then i'm through with you.
Go and tell whoever will listen to you not to procreate as all races came into existence.

Thanks for your time!

But God never told Adam that he created from mud to multiply and fill the earth! God told the creation in his image to multiply and fill the earth, and:

The Lord God took the man (called Adam) and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”

You can't multiply and fill the earth if you don't eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil.

oridavid:
Have you watched this yet?

A woman can't help herself, yet she helped free Adam from ignorant naked slavery to become self employed so they can both populate the earth.

Someday, the world will understand the role of women in nurturing you men.

Kamala Harris also told us America is not a racist society.

I think she's being dishonest so as not to be seen as a victim.

Kemi Badenoch has spoken openly about the racism she has endured as the first black woman to lead the Conservative Party, admitting she has been surprised by the scale of the abuse.

Kingdavid579:
Funny how you talk like you're not on the same social media space

Being on the same social media space does not mean I should not use the brain in my head not to judge people by their names.

Your name, for instance, is King David, but that wouldn't make me associate you with a king, or David, or ignorantly assume anything about you based on what you've decided to name yourself.

I wouldn't judge you on the basis of you calling yourself Isiaka or Jesus or Mohammed neither, because names do not describe your character.

Kingdavid579:
One says, “Hi, I’m Bella or Precious.”

The other says, “Hi, I’m Deborah.”

Who would Nigerians instinctively take more seriously?

It’s not always fair, but it’s reality.

Names shape how we see people, avoid cheap names.

I want to argue this is untrue but can not deny the fact that you might be describing how you yourself judge people by their names, and assume most others do what you do.

Thankfully, most are not so myopic, and have learnt that "not to judge a book by its cover", can also apply to not judging humans by their names or initial appearance, and doing so says more about you than those you judge.

Torolondo:
They are combination of factors

1.More men than women
2 Materialistic standards
3.Loyalty and respect
4.Selfish behaviour
5.Rejection. The demand of higher status and wealthier men

No.1 and No.5 are the most important reasons.

Basically, supply and demand.

If men are scarce in Nigeria, the pigs amongst them will find wives, but when women start knowing their value and realise the man pool is global, Nigerian men will either adapt, or share wives.

My hope is, most men are not so dense as to accept this stereotype of women, because its like one claiming all men think alike, and I'm very certain man you does not think like all men.

raumdeuter:
Israel is not committing Genocide even if you repeat it every second.

Actually its the Gaza leaders in Hamas who have genocidal intent towards Israel and have made that clear multiple times

You are hopefully aware that despite how many times you may say otherwise, Israel is committing Genocide.

You after all can not expect you to be able to inform me better than those listed below.

According to a United Nations special committee,[43] Amnesty International,[44] Médecins Sans Frontières,[45] B'Tselem,[46] Physicians for Human Rights–Israel,[47] International Federation for Human Rights,[48] numerous genocide studies and international law scholars[49] (including the International Association of Genocide Scholars),[50][51] and many other experts, Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians during its ongoing blockade, invasion, and bombing of the Gaza Strip.

Torolondo:
All I can you tell is, all these men going overseas, are the types who cannot find women in their home country, because they are generally rejected by very materialistic city women who don't meet their standards.

Thankfully, one has a choice of accepting being told by you or going to do one's own research.

China has 1.11 male to female (2020 est.), which means not enough women for the number of men they have.

And if you want to know why they have more males than female, perhaps go research China's one child policy and its effects.

benalvino3:
Hmmm, he is playing a game of dare with his son. You think you saying he is daring them to shoot the kid changes anything? Na wa for you o

Whether you like it not or approve or not, that is what that man has chosen to do. And for once, the Israeli soldiers showed restraint.

Do send your opinion of the man to the man please. And while you are at it, ask him why he did what he did. It might inform you.
