The Project 2025 playbook was written by more than 20 officials whom Trump himself appointed during his first term. If he has “no idea” who they are, he’s showing an alarming cognitive decline.

I'm glad you know this already.

In fact, taking that advice might be you just insulting them further.

Answer Proserpina question please. Its the first intelligent response I see here.

Proserpina:
Why didn't you show up?

So if you have to close a business deal worth millions on that particular day they ask you to come, na so you go run leave the deal and head to their house just because you want to show seriousness huh
Did he tell you the reason he did not show up on that particular day was because he had to "close a business deal worth millions on that particular day"?

In fact, does a serious person choose to "close a business deal worth millions on that particular day" without knowing in advance so they can reschedule the business or the in law meeting?

CultureRe: Igbos Share Ancestral Links With Yorubas, But Many Don’t Know – Ooni Ogunwusi by budaatum: 10:18pm On Jul 06, 2024
We are the same. In my palace, to date, I still have a house of Igbo (pronounced as Igbo in ‘Igbo people’). Where the Ooni lives is called Ile-Igbo. Igbo, to the Yorubas and Ife, is a new dawn; it’s Igbo. And when you sleep, they say, O digbo’ore, O digbo’ore. ‘Igbo’ means Ile-Igbo. That means you will begin afresh. Well, the Igbos probably might not know. I don’t know. They have their meaning.
In the old days, this Oba would marry an Igbo wife to consolidate the relationship.

In fact, he still wisely might.

Imagine working 3 jobs to live comfortably while the government feeds people who jumped the fence.
We don't spend our time imagining such rubbish you imagine, because while we may be a secular nation of atheists, we have Christ in our DNA, such that, apart from government feeding, we feed too by donating to charities and food banks that feed the poor and the vulnerable.

Japan don't take immigrants yet their economies continues to grow massively.

Japan is the only nation on earth that is pleased that there is inflation, as they have been suffering from deflation (a lack of growth) for like 20 years!

and how many people can afford the high rent due to increased demand.
Afford? In a capitalist country?

As Adam Smith would say, the owners of property care more for their profit and do not give a damn about poor you who can not afford, so please, if you can't afford to rent, go live in a tent or rent something smaller.

But thankfully, we just elected socialist Starmer, who does care and has promised to provide social housing.

The immigrants drive up property values. Increased demand leads to higher property valuations. So let's bring in as many.
Your reasoning.
The flip side of "your reasoning" above, which you want to see as mine is, property belongs to the natives, who sell to the new immigrant buyers at a huge profit, so bring in more immigrants please.

What's funny though is you've now moved from "immigrants live on welfare", to "immigrants drive up property values".

Do immigrants buy property with welfare, bas?

I want you to go to the countries where they get on the boats and tell them only "Engineers, doctors, students etc" should get on the boat please. The rest must return to their home, because you don't want them in UK.

If you'd done this like a week ago, you might have even saved Rishii, since his plan to send them to Rwanda was not working. But its not too late to save UK from what you fear, so hurry please.

Kenya has been experiencing severe public unrest in recent weeks, similar to the 2020 End SARS rallies in Nigeria. Although the public’s dissatisfaction with government activities gave rise to both revolutions, their outcomes show distinct paths in the struggle for justice and change.

As I said. Apologies for quoting Ukip. They believe the same crap you do and still prove my point.

I'm watching Portugal v France. Children of immigrants make up almost half the players on the field, and I doubt they were born with football skills at birth, though I can't say for certain.

No one has problems with Immigrants adding to the values of the country. she was not talking about doctors, she was talking about everyone
You do know that migrants do have children that they train to become doctors, right? Or is it that you are so prejudiced you think they all live on welfare?

Even a parent on welfare may educate their children to be doctors.

The man is notorious for pushing for policies that benefit him and him alone in a country where there are over 220 million other people. Putting such a man in charge of economic decisions in that same country amounts to making him a greater king than he already is while nothing will change for others; this man has not helped change the lives of other Nigerians for the better the numerous other times he has engaged the government. undecided
You saying he gets government to pass Dangote Only laws?

I think I would need you to show me just one before i can respond. So please show me just one Dangote Only law please, so I can see what you saying.

Meanwhile, I do not agree with your "while nothing will change for others". The man just built a whole refinery that he can not possibly run himself. If he gives a job to just one single person, a lot will change for that one employee. And I expect a lot to change for many Nigerians if and when his refinery operates at 100%.

Yor tweet does however show you what the majority in UK voted for, since they said this in their manifesto and we elected them.

Evangelicals have been quite successful in US politics.
Indeed they have. The current evangelical majority Scotus is evidence of their immense success so far, and there's lots more success to come for them. But I doubt they'd succeed so much that USA becomes an evangelical sharia caliphate, since you are there to give them hell with your obstinacy.

Nlfpmod, less than 10 hours after taking over. These are signs of leadership. cry cry cry cry cry cry cry grin grin grin grin
Actually, these are signs of followers, or better still, voters. Basically, the politicians let their light shine so we may see it and chose to elect them or not. But if their eye is dim and their whole body is dim too we would not elect them.

If those the voters elect can not do what they have done here, we the people would never elect them because we know it is us who will suffer from their incompetence.

Brits are responsible like that, for their choice and for what their choice does or do not do.

I don't think that's what they are doing. Christianity is not political
You don't think that is what evangelicals are doing, while I do think that is what evangelicals are trying to do.

You think that is what Muslims are doing but I don't think that is what Muslims can do.

If you were honest or knew some history I don't think you will claim evangelicals in America are not political. But even if that is what or not what either is doing, I have faith that they will both fail, as they have always failed historically. You do know we kicked Catholic Sharia out, right?

In my own view, Iran stands more chance of abandoning Sharia and kicking out the ayatollah and mullahs and becoming secular, that anyone imposing their poxy gods on us.

If we ban Billy Graham and his fake miracles, we sure will ban an ayatollah and their sharia.

People who believe in their country are the only people that can make changes, since you believe in your country, it's wise to get into positions that u can influence change, it's just a piece of advice tho
Get into position, lol. Have you not seen how many choose to be rude and insult me here on Nairaland?

Nigerians are not yet ready for my atheist sort in position to tell them they will surely not die if they eat the fruits of knowledge in libraries and schools, or that "from the sweat of their brow will they eat" is not a curse but a fact of life.

They definitely are not ready for a person like me who will insist they learn science all through secondary school and up to the first year in uni regardless what ever they choose to study, and the Bible and Quran be combined into one book every Nigeria must read and not believe but understand before they are 16, even if I buy the book for them with my own money.

What Nigerians would do to me is the same thing we read was done to Jesus Christ, and my love for my country is not so much that I would chose to be crucified by lazy fuqs for the lazy fuqs who live in it. Sorry.
