Where can I verify this claim? unless America has become a shithole like Nigeria, I find it hard to swallow that an American president can bully the almighty FED reserve.

Good idea only if our incompetent leaders would shoot themselves.

Instead, after they've shot their ministers, they'd then find reason to come after you!

The link that you shared about South Africa, it doesn't say in South Africa there was slavery, it says there was forced child labour.

Slavery that we know in south africa is the one of Indians who whites brought to South Africa as slaves to work in sugar farms.
That's like claiming there was no slavery in West Africa until they were taken elsewhere.

Black slaves were used in gold and diamond mines in southern Africa, and Indians were mostly paid labour adopted after the abolition of slavery when the slaves refused to work for pay because it was no different from when they worked for chains.

Mauritius is a case in point. After abolition of slavery, Chinese were brought over to work the sugar plantations, and after them Indians.

Below is a list of references.

Slavery in the Cape Colony, South Africa

Slavery happened mostly in West Africa, Southern and Eastern Africa never impacted by slavery.
Kindly why slavery mostly happened in west Africa?
This is a link about Slavery in South Africa (the country). It also mentions slavery that existed in Madagascar and Mauritius, and I'm certain some were exported elsewhere too.

Here is a link about The Indian Ocean slave trade, sometimes known as the East African slave trade.

And here is an article about the East African slave trade.

Inform yourself by reading the links to further knowledge in each please, and be advised that there is more information if you but search.

Even if the whole 200million have voted, Inec will still manipulate his vote to about 120 million while the court will seal it for him. Honestly, Inec is part of our problem
I do not accept this one tiny bit, and think it is irresponsible and stupid. Not you, mind, but the sentiment you've expressed. The easiest way for me to manipulate an election is to convince the opposition not to bother voting, while I pay my supporters to vote or die.

Trump stupidly did the opposite at the last election by convincing his supporters not to vote by post while Biden convinced his supporters to vote or die. And we all can see for ourselves who is in the White House and who has been wailing the last 4 years.

People should vote and lets see Inec manipulate and the court seal it instead of not bothering and then stupidly protesting. We'd have something concrete to protest if we voted and Inec then manipulated, but nothing to protest if we can't be bothered to vote.

Anyway, past precedence by a diff person isnt the best way to judge the new person. They signed new pacts this time

If you dont know this, then i cant help you but just know that the past has nothing on the future...No be weather forecast be this
I guess this is why we just refuse to learn from our history because our history does not matter in the future. Hence we repeatedly do what we did in the past while hoping for a different outcome, lol.

Goodluck with not learning. Vote Tinubu!

Increase it to ₦10k a litre, and make tax 50% of income instead, and you will be president for life and forever.

Man, this makes sense because many companies/recruiters are now openly admitting that they’re posting fake job postings on various job boards!
When they are exposed, the consequences can be detrimental to a company's recruiting efforts.

"It will definitely hurt your reputation, because I don't know anyone who wants to work for a company that lies to them," Haller said. "And if employees find out, in today's world, everyone knows everything — people talk."

PoliticsRe: Tax Collection In Nigeria Is Actually Pretty Low — Bill Gates Seeks More Funding by budaatum:
Bill Gates said, “Over time, there are plans for Nigeria to fund the government more than it does today. The actual tax collection in Nigeria is actually pretty low.
So, here we have it. We are going to be taxed more.

I wonder what the youths at the Pan-African youth dialogue on nutrition in Abuja said in response.

Did no one stone him?

“If citizens want the education and the health things, as they develop the confidence that these programmes can be very well run, and our foundation is involved with a lot of the exemplars that are showing the way in terms of making sure the money is spent really well, running a very efficient primary health care system where the employees are doing great work, the centres are where they should be, you don’t have underloaded centres or overloaded centres.
Bill Gates should be more concerned why our confidence has not developed "that education and the health things" are not currently funded sufficiently.

Is he blind to our governments looting and excesses, I wonder, or is his foundation here to further facilitate their corruption?

There so many riots in the UK recently. Some of which you support or has no condemnation for some of which you do. Hamas protest, good despite defacing, burning of flags and harassment and threats.

Tommy Robinson march bad despite very peaceful not a single thing to worry about. One is protest the other is far right thugs respectively.

Before Jan 6th, America was putting up protection for businesses in fear of riots and destruction if trump wins. Before the election, we saw the riots and destruction all over the country. You want to call that far right?
buda must be the judge deciding who committed crimes when they protest and who deserves to be jailed and who shouldn't.

The law is very clear. Break it and be jailed!

Sorry, but I refuse to engage with you when you knowingly lie, as we already agreed why your 2 gender person is locked up.

You know very well that you don't get locked up for praying outside an abortion clinic.

It's always those posts you see on Twitter, with terrible slang or some variation of 'ebonics', saying things like, 'Trump understands us'.

Re: Basilico. Honestly, I don't know. I vascialte. I think he is inept, but part of me thinks he is paid to post this stuff. It's just so much and so easily fact checked to know it's false. Everyone gets duped once in a while, but 90% of everything he posts is false information. And th eampunt of that disinformation gets posted moments when Trump is doing terribly.
No one will pay basilico for such ineptitude. He does more harm to maga than good. Saying that though, so does dump, who is doing terribly because he's outed and seen by most for the dump he is.

The fact is, we have more far-left authoritarianism, Riots, and destruction than far-right.
I don't agree with this statement, and I bet you can't provide evidence for it neither.

Far right and left are anarchist. They both riot and destroy when the other is in power, and some would argue, when they are in power, which thankfully is not often.

'My body state choice', is authoritarian. Asking others to adopt the culture of the country they migrate to is authoritarian and stupid, because its like asking me to eat fish and chips and not eat fufu in London.

I think the biggest investment to make in Nigeria today is to go into a joint venture with government (state, federal, ministry, whatever), and wait for them to default and then sue. The only due diligence required is ensure there are assets abroad that can be seized, and there's plenty of that it seems.

Now, I wonder who's going after NNPC.

Notice how they portray far left like blm or antifa. Positively.

The far right (or extreme right or radical right) is a political label used to identify parties and movements based on fascist, racist and/or extremely reactionary ideologies. Officially those on the far right embrace the concept of the "inequality of outcome", meaning that one group deserves better privileges than another
Far either side is negative, is the point, you dipstick!

Germany has its left and right and centre parties. They did not win the election you posted. The far right won. And I've shown you what they stand for, which is why people are protesting against them.

The thing is, you can't be educated.
