Politics › Re: Nigeria Is So Misgoverned by budaatum: 10:21pm On Oct 09, 2024
93 million Nigerians were registered to vote at the last election and only 9 million elected our president. 20 million in total voted while the rest sat on their asses at home.

The result of that blatant irresponsibility is people crying that they have only ₦50 in their pocket and their children are hungry. And my only hope is they live long enough to vote another day. Because that is how you will vote out "wicked, insensitive, callous and evil minded" governments and elect those who will make our country better.

Sorry op. I have no sympathy for you. And I almost want to hate you for starving your only daughter, except that I can't put the blame of 70 million Nigerians, who did not bother to vote, entirely upon you.

Someone with more sympathy than me please help feed this person's daughter. Though I can't help but wonder why he bought and has data instead!

Winks2:
I don't know if I should scream so loudly.
I don't know if I should cry.
As young as I am, I'm already having BP issues.
I don't sleep at night despite the stress of been a teacher and working all day.
Hearing that the fuel price has been increased again, sent shivers down my spine.

I got home and met my only child(Daughter) crying of Hunger, I checked my pocket and only had 50naira. Nothing in my bank account. Scrolled through my phone contacts, but couldn't call anyone for help. The only person I called allowed me to narrate all the issues, but promised to get back later. Up till now, nothing.
Is this the life we are meant to live?
I've run into so much debts from collecting foodstuffs on credit. Now I am beginning to understand why people commit suicide. It has never been anyone's wish to take their own lives. If u speak up, they will mock you and frustrate u even more. If u keep quiet and die, they will say u didn't speak up.
When will this country get better?
Why is our govt this wicked, insensitive, callous and evil minded?
Why?

From my long held beliefs the excerpt of which I showed you ,can you prove anything wrong?
Everything about you is wrong! Nothing about you whatsoever is right! And you prove that by being the nuisance that you are. Just that you haven't got the ability to reflect and see yourself.

Judge Barrett might as well be talking about you when he said:

“At bottom, this case was about your corrupt conduct and how no one is above the law,” he admonished Peters. “Our system of government can’t function when people in government think that somehow, some way, the power they’ve been given is absolute in all respects. And that’s where you fell. You have no respect for the checks and balances of government. You have no respect for this court. You have no respect for law enforcement.”

You have no respect for anyone here and even much less respect for yourself!

Wait. Where did you see $2 a month? I think I'm getting cheated. I just checked my sub.
It's $4 for month for the 1st year. It's $25 a month after that. They gave me a deal to stay after I was going to cancel because of their nonsense articles the last year, to I think $12 a month. Should have done that much much earlier. smiley But if you saw it for cheaper, going to call them now.
I meant £2. But they do that. Give different subs to different folks, and is why I cancelled my Wapo sub. They offering £1 a week for a year to get me back, and £4 a week thereafter. But when I click resub it is £6 a week thereafter, and is why I use my library app to read their stuff for free.

But I think this is a currency difference. NYT is £2 for me for 6 months, and £12 a month thereafter.

Tina Peters had released a report of the audit.
And Judge Barrett, before sentencing, told her:

“You are no hero. You abused your position, and you’re a charlatan who used and is still using, your prior position in office to peddle a snake oil that’s been proven to be junk time and time again.”

And I'm not going to bother trying to convince you why I'd rather take Judge Barrett's word over the word of stupid lying nuisance you whom I would willingly pay to abort.
Nairaland General › Re: How Australia Became A Major Player In Global Coffee Trading by budaatum: 6:19pm On Oct 09, 2024
I've always wondered why coffee is not grown in Nigeria. Or should I say I never found it growing

You got any idea?

Coffee was introduced to Nigeria in the late 19th century, and the country began exporting it soon after. The Nigerian government promoted coffee cultivation in the 1930s, and production peaked in the late 1960s, mid-1980s, and again in 2006.

Colorado Supreme Court dismisses suit against baker who refused to bake cake for transgender woman

She then called again to request another custom cake, one depicting Satan smoking marijuana, according to Phillips’s attorney.

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4923910-colorado-supreme-court-dismisses-case/
Should she be forced to bake a cake she don't want to bake?

I think not, in this case. But I shouldn't be able to refuse to bake a cake because of another person's race.

So, what about baking a cake with Allah Akbar on it?

Thanks brother. I’m still in Asia, covering some countries there but I will definitely cover Nigerian railways once I return to Nigeria.

Please follow my channel and help me to share. I’m planning on merging the distance between Nigeria/Africa with Asia by showing what obtains in both soon.
Show panoramas please. That view you were looking at from the train will inform more as I've never been to Asia.

Asianplug:
I don’t want to sound biased in anyway, so I have posted the video of India’s new and old trains.
You do sound biased! You showed Indian train, and to be sincere, that long one with open doors reminded me of molue in Lagos, but what you failed to show is how efficiently they run or don't, and how many people they move a day, and you disregarded how clean the stations are, and we just about noticed the fan above your head that made it seem you were waiting in the first class section of the station though I bet you weren't.

Basically, I am accusing you of not sufficiently educating me about the railway system in India, and you haven't posted anything about railway in Nigeria so I can compare.

I'm not going to hold it against you though, because its not like you had a huge production budget, and I know you will one day grow this into something to be admired.

Personally, and as far as railways go, Nigeria hasn't yet begun to get where India currently is.

I don't care that you lie about dump or anything else so much, but it does rankle me that you'd be here tarnishing people with your lies.

I mean, where's your dignity? Do you think people would sit with you in real life if you do with them what you do here?

Basilico, you have a skill. It is to dig stuff up. But your inability to measure with the brain in your head what you find before dumping it here just shows how stupidly braindead you are, and that's a pity. And worse is that it is actually disgustingly evil!

You are there my brother.
That's odd! What happened to your thread?

kingkelvin2033:
Has Anyone Thought About This? Can't We Write Books, Novels and Non-Fiction in Pidgin English?

How about we write our own books in our own language?
Did you do no research at all before you posted this your thread?

Sozaboy: A Novel in Rotten English, by Ken Saro-Wiwa, is in pidgin.

The Palm-Wine Drinkard by Amos Tutuola is in pidgin.

Ògbójú Ọdẹ Nínú Igbó Irúnmọlẹ̀, by Daniel O. Fagunwa, is in my own native Yoruba.

And I'm certain there are loads more.

What does get me about these sort of threads however is that while you lament not writing in our own native language, your lamentation in your own post is in English. Do you not see the dissonance in not writing your post in your own language?

Personally, I'm glad you wrote in English, and not in pidgin or your own native language unless it is my Yoruba. Because, if you had, I wouldn't have read it. I'm even pissed off that BBC patronises me with pidgin instead of assuming my school fees were paid in full and I paid attention in class.

Good write though. Thanks for the read.

I think Mr Wole Adedoyin, Acting President of the International Writers Association (IWA International), just wants to tell writers what to write.

Not every writer is the "conscience of the African Society", and not every one wants to read about a societies conscience. But if Mr Wole Adedoyin does not like what others write, he should just go write the "conscience of the African Society" that he likes and "serve the people" how he wants.

As I made it known, I'm pro-life, and my reasons for that is because I believe that all human life irrespective of race, gender, viability, socio-economic status, intelligence, or stage of development, has intrinsic value......
As I've told you, as soon as I get to those last two words I quoted above in anything you post, I just stop reading.

The reason is that you have not yet explained what you mean by those words so everything else you say is pointless, and much of what you've said up to then becomes meaningless.

Fuq man! You'd have explained your "intrinsic value" in fewer words than this if you cared or knew what you are talking about and respected your intended audience!

I'm going to wait till you explain what you mean by those words. Then perhaps you can repost this to remind me to read it. Until then, and only as far as I am concerned, you are pissing in the wind and I am thankfully upwind so it doesn't blow on me.
