BonPatrick:This is your life.

basilico:Problem is, America does not have the skilled local humanpower to do those jobs and earn those higher wages, and would need to open borders to import it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9f5SQQKr5o?si=dvNhujVYf1GrgKjB |
descarado:Don't you also hate when some stupid people call Nigeria a zoo? Whenever I hear them, all I think is they themselves and their kit and kin must be caged zoo animals with zero self esteem. |
GloriousGbola:They must also bribe the work itself to do the work, the rate he is going. |
Bandirao:I had to check. On an annual basis, you are right. In the fourth quarter of 2023, Nigeria’s total trade stood at N26,801.95 billion. Exports were valued at N12,693.62 billion while imports amounted to N14,108.33 billion. On an annual basis, total trade was N71,880.01 billion, of which imports amounted to N35,917.62 billion, and exports were recorded at N35,962.39 billion. |
“From the age of 2, normal life without paralysis was only possible for me because of the miraculous combination of modern medicine and a mother’s love. But for millions who came after me, the real miracle was the saving power of the polio vaccine,” Mr. McConnell said. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/us/politics/in-an-apparent-warning-to-kennedy-mcconnell-defends-polio-vaccine.html?smid=url-share

During a press briefing in Minna, Danmaman said, “The high number of out-of-school children has significantly contributed to the increasing crime rate, especially among teenagers.” https://www.nairaland.com/8292638/nigerian-police-say-out-of-school-children#133285086 |
budaatum:I read the above again and laughed to myself. The problems in Nigeria are actually because the funding of education has been left to states, though, thankfully, the curriculum hasn't or it would be much worse than it is. In my own local government in Osun State, a secondary school has a principal and a vice principal, and all the 'teachers' are cheap federal funded untrained corpers who think sleeping with under 16s is a fringe benefit of being posted to a place so rural. This is a consequence of states, and local governments, not properly funding the education and paying for trained teachers. We do have private schools of course, but there is the minor issue of fees that limit those who can pay for their children to go there. And the consequence is those who can, leave to go further their study elsewhere and leave the alimanjeris behind. And today, we have a drug problem that is blighting the community, as alimanjeris can't do work. |
GloriousGbola:And this, IbeOkehie, is hard to ignore. |
basilico:She supported abortions, obviously. IbeOkehie is however trying to make it sound like she was promoting the extermination of blacks, which is very not true. Her speech to the kkk was to promote abortion to those in attendance, and I very much doubt there were blacks there, though considering they might have all been covered in white blankets, that might be debatable by some. |
IbeOkehie:Nairaland does not work that way. If you don't want your views to be of interest, you can try keeping them to yourself. IbeOkehie:Thankfully, Nigeria and its federal government do not agree that the "North have a right to pursue Boko Haram or whatever ideology they wish", and make it the "business of other tribes or regions whether Northerners choose to embrace education". Ti ara ile ẹni ba n jẹ kokoro ti ko sunwon ti a ko ba so fun; howuhowu re ko nii je ka sun l'oru. "If someone in your household is eating harmful food and you don't tell them, their cry at night will keep stop you being able to sleep at night". If we don't make their education our business, they'd create no jobs in their region and start killing themselves due to hunger, and then migrate down to where you live and start killing you because they have not been educated to do the work that needs doing. Or what did you think the constant wailing about Fulani was all about? You don't just concern yourself because of them, but because of what they'd end up doing to you if you don't. |
basilico:You must have intentionally left out the quotes of hers that show she wanted to exterminate black babies. Go on, try again. I know you can do better. |
IbeOkehie:Your view and opinion is unfortunately personal. Even when you present evidence, your understanding of said evidence is personal to you and can't be avoided, unfortunately. And the only reason I actually choose to respond to you more than most is to point out your personal bias in hope you'd notice and be corrected. Why would you claim federal government funded education is bad and creates ill educated individuals, and then claim you went to a federal funded university, but expect one not to think what your federal funded education might have done to you? Can you not see the obvious connections that could be made especially when you present your bias and claim to be neutral? If you want a good faith discussion, perhaps start by monitoring your biases better instead of hoping they are not obvious and glaring. This is not a thread for gaslighting. |
IbeOkehie:The fact Carson is quoted everywhere does not prove your point. He after all is far less credible than NPR. The facts do not show that more black people per 1000 had abortions at planned parenthood than whites, and what she said was to try to promote abortions amongst blacks, who were having more children than they could feed. https://time.com/4081760/margaret-sanger-history-eugenics/ Its obvious more whites in general would have aborted than blacks just by the mere fact there are more whites than blacks, so I do wonder why you don't accuse Margaret Sanger of trying to exterminate and wipe out the white race. |
cococandy:He actually isn't providing any such stats, but is providing his own warped understanding of the motives of Sanger to gaslight his own bias.

IbeOkehie:You clearly have a very narrow understanding of socialism. Should I blame the Federal university you went to, or the fact you perhaps didn't pay attention like your more successful colleagues did? Some people say it takes a village to raise a child, implying the pulling together of resources. We Yorubas say, agbajo ọwọ ni gbe ẹrù de ori. But go read up on Kibbutzim. It might help you understand why the Nazis were jealous of the Jews. |
IbeOkehie:The Federal Ministry of Education should be abolished in Nigeria, a country where some states and county equivalents would like to impose boko haram? I guess I'm beginning to fully understand your "God bless Nigeria". What you really mean is "Nigerians, sit on your lazy ignorant asses and wait for God to bless you instead of you exercising the sweat of your own brows to bless yourselves". Thankfully, the majority of Nigerians are not that dumb, and know that leaving education to states would only increase alimanjeris. |
IbeOkehie:You are going to continue repeating this lie regardless what anyone says, and you wouldn't take responsibility for your very narrow maga sort of misunderstanding. The article you referenced states how her own mother suffered from excessive child birth, but I'm sure that's because she was black too, right? Fact is, uneducated black and white Americans were more likely not to use birth control (which was scarcely available at the time), and have more children whom they couldn't feed or educate, and which perpetuated poverty, but I guess that's far too complex for you to consider. https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/08/14/432080520/fact-check-was-planned-parenthood-started-to-control-the-black-population Please stop gaslighting that you are neutral on what you are not neutral on! |
liveyourlife007:It is not your insensitivity that got you so far, but the ignorance that made you insult the parents of a person you know nothing about. And its not my forgiveness you require but your own repentance, which will make you reform and become intelligent. I'm going to follow you a bit to see how you progress. Hopefully, you will exceed your current potential. |
liveyourlife007:Your own empathy is very warm. I love the way you sit blindly wherever you are and claim to have an observation of someone you've never ever engaged with before. It must be due to the superpowers your own wealthy parents' brought you up with to insult other people's parents. I do take it to heart. May your power increase in strength and may you learn to use it better as you also learn to live your life. |
It comes after McLaren posted record annual losses of £924m in 2023, up from £349m the year prior. https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/uae-buys-mclaren-carmaker-suffers-163000704.html |

I have a question. When is the right time to plant habanero pepper in Nigeria? |
Very justified. One shouldn't start a marriage with dishonesty. |
I doubt anyone would be stupid enough to think the whole of Africa would just sit there and do nothing when Europe invades to steal our assets. Even Europeans would be on their own streets protesting the invasion of Africa, and some might even terrorise on our behalf along with our own terrorising. |
Yes it has always been on Nairaland. Happy Nairaland birthday.

IbeOkehie this is about healthcare and insurance. It reminds me how Nigeria was encouraged not to bother with industry when we began selling crude oil, because "you have enough money to buy whatever you want", and Dangote lamenting about the cabal trying to ruin his refinery. I apologise for the partisanship near the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQR67WRcVUg?si=sE6WRDJ3NUWi5NHL |
Gboom:Everybody should go school. If you hadn't gone to school you wouldn't be here calling me names in English. And I'm certain you'd buy school for your children when you have any, though, do tell me I am wrong so I can come and personally kick your ass for disadvantaging your children and populating my surrounding with ignorant stupid almanjeris. Still, I never said school, and I didn't even suggest there be books in the library I did propose, but internet access that even the poor can benefit from cheaply. And if your "solar streetlight and borehole" can be provided, that's good too, since we deserve all the good things that exist. They are all better than empowering a select few. |
A Nigerian professor at Greenwich University told me a Nigerian phd student submitted an AI generated thesis for his finals, and when told it was plagiarism and adviced to go and redo it he began begging. The professor told him the repercussions too but he insisted, not quite understanding the professor was not the only one who would review his work. Of course he failed. This new development will just end up devaluing our degrees. |
You poor hard men. I have zero sympathy for you, especially if your parents invest more in their male children than their females. Enlightened parents educate both their male and female children equally so they can all stand on their own feet. I, of course, have a bias.
