I don't know why you all are hyping piastri. He is no jesus. Come what may, next year bodes well for Norris if the respective teams keep this form

No one expects Piastri or anyone to be jesus. Some don't even hype Jesus at all. But if you achieve what Piastri achieved we'd likely hype you too.

In fact, Thegamingorca, buda is hyping you in advance, if just for the number of letters in your moniker, which is all I know right now.

Yes ofcos I do, there are loads of your likes here, I deal with them on Nairaland daily.

I figured you were a dealer. It explains your need for attention. Pity, low quality though. Have you considered upping your grade?

Would make for an interesting party.

Is the bubble slowly bursting?

erico2k2:
Well Im not the one exhibiting tendencies of weed behaviour here.

You must know this so called "weed behaviour" from your personal experience. Pity yours don't make you smart though.

Stop that shyte you are smoking

Isn't it much better than the low grade you smoke?

femi4:
Cheaper crude from outside the Country is a hoax with our exchange rate

Think availability. More expensive and available is cheaper if it keeps the refinery running. Its like a barber using expensive generator when there's a power cut. He'd lose money if its shut down.

femi4:
Why not build a refinery that suit our crude. It doesn't make sense

id4sho:
I disagree ma'am, can't the refinery work with one crude oil grade

Dangote's refinery does suit our crude oil. It would have been a stupid investment if it didn't. A blend of crude oils are however required for the different products a refinery produces, and that's apart from the difficulty Dangote has reported in getting Nigerian crude oil.

If he can get cheaper oil from elsewhere, he'd be stupid not to take it and instead let himself be held to ransome by the cabals that control Nigerian crude oil. The fact he can get and refine crude oil from anywhere shows how astute a manager he is.

Ikemba007:
You want to compare the humongous consumption in the US with Nigeria’s negligible consumption?

Dangote does not refine crude oil for Nigerian consumption alone.

Kemetian:
In Nigeria, the British administration deepened divisions between the Igbo, Yoruba, and Hausa-Fulani by granting unequal access to education and political opportunities.

Looks like you just don't understand your own research.

"Deepend divisions" implies divisions were already there to be deepened, as I've been informing you all along. But in your arrogant head, you want to believe Europeans brought the division that your scholarly research says was already there.

Anyway, your gutter mouth shows your level, and a look at your other posts shows this is your brainless way of discussing, which just shows how divided you are against yourself. But I'm very certain you would not accept responsibility for it but blame, Europeans, perhaps?

Kemetian:
[b]OH SURE, WE SHOULD IGNORE ALL THE SCHOLARLY RESEARCH SPANNING DECADES, INCLUDING TESTIMONY FROM KWAME NKRUMAH, AND INSTEAD LISTEN TO A LITTLE BOY SCHOOL DROPOUT ON NAIRALAND.

RIFFRAFF.

You might as well have posted scholarly evidence that shows guns and whisky are responsible for wars, since divide an rule was just one tool with which you were conquered, which might not have happened if you were not divided before they arrived to rule you.

Fact is, you were divided long before Europeans arrived. Lots of West Africa had gone through Islamic conquest that had divided tribes along religious lines. Our own Nigeria had gone through Uthman Dan Fodio that had nothing to do with Europeans. My own Orolu Kingdom had been divided into Islam and indigenous religious people who were constantly at war with each other and their neighbours. But your scholarly research seems to make you disregard all that and blindly blame Europeans.

We are responsible for our stupid ignorant division. We were a house that was already divided, and that left us vulnerable to conquest by outsiders. And if we do not learn from our own complicity in our own fall, we will continue to be divided and conquered till we learn.

Most refineries need a mixture of different crudes, so Dangote importing is no surprise. Even when USA had enough crude oil of its own, they still imported different grades of crude from elsewhere.

Hopss:
from you post I consider that you should be in your 50+ or 60+.but from the kind of language you are using here it seem you just claiming the aga that you not .

Kind of shows how little infrastructure of the mind he himself has, it seems to me.

Haakeem:
yeah asking him whether she should return the money... Lol, simply an emotional blackmail when she isn't even planning to hand over the money back.

She offered, so he should hold her to it. Though, as I said, I doubt she'd give anything back to him. In which case he should just count his losses and learn his lesson and move on.

Kennitrust:
She got angry and threatened to return everything back to me and I pressed on to know what I did wrong... She said nothing. "That she was always pretending to love me but she didn't have any feelings for me for being older than her.

She offered you your everything back, so take it and minimise your loss, though I doubt she'd give it you.

HeatSeeker:
Men do not go haywire in Africa. The social construct here is patriarchal. For the family unit to properly function, the man who provides and protects his family unit is in charge.

The Western world has subverted this by empowering women. I am not against giving more rights and protection to women. I am against the abuse of this family system by African women all because they are now in a society where they have more rights and are empowered by the law.

I do not agree that "Men do not go haywire in Africa".

African, or at least Nigerian men, go haywire by having multiple side chicks that their wife can not complain about. Patriarchy itself is men going haywire.

Kemetian:
THIS GUY IS SO DENSE.

YOU ARE THICK.

MAYBE YOU HAVE MENTAL ISSUES.

I'M DONE WITH YOU. GET LOST.

GO AND ARGUE AGAINST NKRUMAH, DAVIDSON, AND THE OTHER SCHOLARS QUOTED IN THAT ARTICLE.

VILLAGE BLOCK HEAD.

You can war with me all you want, but evidence does show you can not in any way get rid of me.

Europeans did not cause the tribal division amongst Africans, because we were fighting ourselves and other tribes way long before they arrived amongst us.

And it is unintelligent to blame those who merely took advantage of the division that already existed amongst you for causing that division.

Before the creation of Adam and Eve from mud, God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

But I guess many, for some odd reason, would accept they were formed from the dust of the ground after God had rested on the seventh day to be naked ignorant slaves in a tiny garden.

Kemetian:
YOU ARE A COMPOUND DUNCE.

YOU HAVE NO BRAIN.

Look at this little KID ....

Its a war I guess, between your tribal understanding and mine, and I am certain you would not claim anyone started it but you and I.

If you were fighting amongst yourselves, its stupid to claim those who took advantage of your division made you start fighting.

Kemetian:
YOU ARE TALKING ILLITERATE RUBBISH.

I feel certain that you can say what you have to say without needing to resort to rudeness and insults.

Before the arrival of Europeans, we Yorubas were already fighting wars amongst ourselves, and here's you starting war by insulting me, which has nothing to do with whoever colonised you.

Before the arrival of Europeans, we had already had the arrival of Muslims, who fought wars to conquer many African empires, which then resulted in wars between African Muslims and traditional Africans. But I guess you need to blame European colonialist for our own inadequacies for some reason.

HeatSeeker:
Both perspectives are interesting. It is an important sociocultural discourse as it affects the basic unit of the society, which is the family. A stable home is fundamental to proper functioning of the society at large. But when we have women going haywire because of change of location 🤔 🙄 😒

You had men going haywire in Africa where the woman did not have a choice.

Pig went out to condomless fuq his sidechick and came home to share the disease he got with his wife he beat up first for not cooking dinner! And when she reported him to police for raping her, her own father told her to grin and bear it after the Nigerian Police had laughed in her face that a husband can not rape his wife!

Just so you know, there are more relationships of Africans that survive after they have migrated, but you'd usually find the man in the relationship is not a pig.

Your question can be rephrased as, why do women not put up with the crap from men once they move from Africa to UK?

But I doubt that perspective interests you.

Kemetian:
Mr Man, there have been books and scholarly research published about how the COLONIALISTS created TRIBES AND TRIBALISM in Africa, not just in Nigeria.

It’s called Divide and Rule.

You can't be divided and ruled if you had unity in the first place. And we had tribes long before colonialists arrived to take advantage of our tribal divide.

No one needs thieves working for them.

You must come and update this thread in a year time, and 5 years and ten, to show how your resilience paid off and how laziness paid others.

I'd be very interested to know.

Kemetian:
You are wrong.

THERE IS NO SOCIETY ON EARTH THAT WAS DEVOID OF CONFLICT OR WAR.

Should I start listing all the wars that occurred among ENGLISH speakers of Europe throughout history?

Do you know that the English fought bloody civil wars among themselves?

America itself fought a very bloody civil war when majority of its population were Irish.

So we are not talking of wars.

We are talking of TRIBALISM.

Tribalism is just one reason for war. And as you point out, tribal wars were fought amongst the British, and Europe as well. In Britain's case, the outcome of such wars whittled the hundreds of kings that ruled the Isle down to the one we have today. And even in my lifetime, it was not unusual to see house for rent adverts stating "no dogs, no blacks and no Irish".

You may not be talking of war, but tribalism is historically one reason for war, as seen by that between the ancient tribes of Wessex and Essex, and what happened in Rwanda.

That's how bad tribalism can be.

The Kingdom of Wessex and the Kingdom of Sussex were involved in several conflicts, including:

Battle of Ellendun
The West Saxons conquered Sussex, Kent, and Essex in the aftermath of the Battle of Ellendun around 827. This roughly doubled the size of the Wessex kingdom.
Invasion attempts

The Kingdom of Wessex attempted to invade Sussex on multiple occasions, including in the 7th and 8th centuries.

Cædwalla's invasion
Cædwalla of Wessex killed the king of Sussex and devastated the region. The South Saxons were able to force Cædwalla out of Sussex, but he returned and killed the king again.

The Kingdom of Sussex eventually became the county of Sussex, England.

Its a pity you have to absolve us of our tribal stupidity and blame others for our idiocy and ignorance, when the truth is we are the stupid ones being tribal by ourselves.

In fact, before the British, we were being villagebal, a word I'm using to describe the hatred for our neighbouring villages, as shown by the ancient and continued wars between Yoruba speaking Modakeke and Yoruba speaking Ife, which had nothing to do with the British, and that between my own Orolu Kingdom and Ilobu, ditto, no British.

There are indeed puppet masters, as I repeatedly inform those advocating for Oduduwa Republic, telling them the likes of Tinubu would lead it and there wouldn't be Igbos or Hausas to check their excess, but blaming the wrong people for pulling our strings just shows how very irresponsible we are, and are not yet ready to heal ourselves of our stupidity and ignorance yet.

Hopefully, we would not degenerate to rwandaism before we need to learn to love our neighbours and ourselves or what might be left of us.

Fortunately for me, I am not a Christian

Better still. It means you wouldn't believe the book, but might seek to understand it instead. Because being Nigerian, it would program you one way or the other due to its influence being in the air you breath and likely breast fed to you.

Do not let your self be convinced you descended from some ignorant made from mud enslaved Adam please, to work in some poxy garden, when you can choose to be an image of God and rule and subdue and multiply.
