the leftis dont know what will hit them until they become a minority in their own country
This is what an ethnocentric viewed person would think. A knowledgeable person understands that societies change and evolve, and such people do not expect the race purity that some like you expect. Nor do we in Britiain think anyone can revive dead gods under any guise. (I know you do not understand that last sentence, do note).

Whats the size of the US economy and what's rhe size of France

Comparing your debt and Dangotes debt doesn't tell the story if you dont factor in both of your wealth
That's why we talk of percentage of GDP. Below is France's. If it's similar to USA's they must both be broke. Won't you agree?

Labour's Sagal Abdi-Wali replaces Keir Starmer in Holborn and St Pancras where Muslims make up approximately 20% of the population.

People where and when? No one can force me to watch any execution, but that's not the point. Live streaming an execution on American soil in 2026 by American government is completely reprehensible and barbaric. Government should be accountable to the people - that is democracy. It appears that is alien to you.
Good thing is, people will form opinions at such a thing, and I bet it won't be positive.

In France they have a socialist state yet they are in debt and about to crash and burn

No one wants to become France. All your proposal is the way to become like them
In USA the debt of $40b is the largest in the world, but we need to see if they crash and burn before France does.

Those are for 2 connection 23 hour flights. Click on them and check the 1 connection 8 hour flights. The BA direct is around $2400
I saw the BA. It has always been the most expensive beings it's the only direct from UK. London-Lagos ain't cheap during the holidays.

Hey Budaatum
A friend was trying to coordinate their trip to Naij with mine for Xmas and told me one stop flights frrm London to Lagos were around $1700 right now.
Seems insane for a 6 hour flight.
I assume it's jet fuel prices and people booking flights through Europe because of the instability in the middle east.
But the price still seems high. Is there something else?
And if it because of the Iran war, are the media/locals cursing the US?
London-Lagos is always expensive over Christmas due to demand, and there is indeed a dump-Iran premium. Below is departure only (Google). I wouldn't say the media/locals curse the US however, because we know dump is not US. We do hope you all get your act together come November though.

BREAKING

The draft rule for the tax on OPT is out. Schools will need to pay $70,000 for their students to be able to work for 1 year post-graduation. They will need to pay an additional $30,000 to work for 3 years.

I expect this new proposal to be challenged in court because it looks like the administration is going through the back door in trying to eliminate a program that was created by an Act of Congress.
Had to go look this up.

Crime › Re: What Will Make 3 Yoruba Men Kill An Igbo Man Family In Oyo State? What Kind... by budaatum: 10:10pm On Oct 08
Haywhy3579:
this Ur quote is too trubalistic. Yoruba man kill Igbo family and he was arrested by police in Yoruba land and he will probably be sentenced to death in yoruba land and still yet u want to make it look like ethnic war. Be mindful of what u put online. If a tribal war start, it will affect everybody
Tribal war seems to be the intention of the write up. It made me take my Yoruba ass to Calabar Zone on Old Kent Road to enjoy delicious ugu soup with pounded yam. Yummy!

Half the clients were my Yoruba tribe and a third were oyinbos. There was no war except you want to count the battle to see who drank the most Gulder which I lost because I could only drink one Guinness. An oyinbo drank 5 and won.

What Will Make 3 Yoruba Men Kill An Igbo Man Family In Oyo State?
The same greed and stupidity that will make three people of any tribe kill anyone in any state regardless of tribe.

Or do you think these armed robbers care about tribe and wouldn't rob Yorubas too?

ariesbull:
But we must also kill tribalism in our heart. That is the main killer.

I'M NOT TRYING TO BE TRIBALISTIC, WHEN IGBO DO I WILL CRITICIZE THEM, WHEN YORUBA DO I WILL CRITICIZE THEM, I'M ONLY STATING THE FACTS AND THAT'S WHY I'M HERE. THIS IS WICKEDNESS AND IT'S KILLING NIGERIA.

Jude Kosiso (JK), you are being tribalistic, and you should kill tribalism in your own heart instead of promoting tribalism as you have clearly done here by masquerading your opinion as "facts".
Christianity Etc › Re: Sell Whatsoever Thou Hast, And Give To The Poor: Said Jesus Christ by budaatum: 5:32pm On Oct 08
Why do those poor need to be given to when they too can "have treasure in heaven" and take up the cross and follow him?

But before anyone answers, perhaps start by explaining what the cross is please. And beware that I'd ask if you sold anything to give to the poor.
Politics › Re: Why Do Some People Always Complain Of Marginalization? by budaatum: 11:55pm On Oct 06
People might Always Complain Of Marginalization so they do not get marginalised.

It's like some might complain about terrorism or anti-Semitism though they've never experienced terrorism or anti-Semitism in their entire life.

For some, it's a case of not waiting till one's house is burning down before worrying it might. Or it just might be me complaining my share of the cake is small so I might get a bigger share.

I've ignored who might be inferred here because it is not relevant. But if you mean anyone in particular just say so so we can access their independent experience which may be far more that your image suggests.

I have added the below for thought. Basically, I do not need to wait till I am a victim before recognising others might be victims.

His daughters are not men, and those are who we are discussing here.

As for the man, Dangote, he said "let there be a refinery in Nigeria", and there is a refinery in Nigeria, so to me he is more of a god. And I expect you not to agree, and I do not intend to make you, since I am fully aware your view and opinion can differ to mine.
Family › Re: Men Who Provide Everything Should Not Share Chores by budaatum: 10:55am On Oct 06
vanvickie:
I just want to believe you have chosen to deliberately misquote me.

First off..I am not talking about my wife..let's be clear about that.
First, look at me misquoting you above. And note how you claim not to be talking about your own wife.

Now, to chores. You are assuming that the wife of the person you are talking about has no job of her own and therefore makes no financial contribution to the household and sits on her ass all day doing nothing and then complains about house chores. My question would be, why did the person who's wife you speak of marry such a person?

A smart man marries a supportive wife, and 'supportive' varies. Some men might want a supportive house chore wife, while some men might want a supportive nurturing wife, or even a supportive 'sit on her ass and do no chores' wife, while some might want a supportive 'bring home equal money like you bring home' wife.

You sound like you want a wife who does house chores, it seems, so that's indeed what you must seek. You'd definitely have issues if you marry a wife who does not do as you expect her to do.

One more thing. Disagreeing does not mean not understanding. You are likely to disagree with what you just read, but I would be being very ignorant if I then conclude you are stupǐd just because you have a different view to mine.

If YOU really love Nigeria, then why would you propose that huh

In what way is Obi a better candidate than Atiku now, that he was not in 2019, which was five years after Obi’s Fidelity Bank protégé made him a destitute politician after his failed attempt to be Anambra godfather huh
It is my opinion that a change from APC is better for Nigeria, and I just can't see either Obi or Atiku beating Tinubu unless they join forces.
Family › Re: Men Who Provide Everything Should Not Share Chores by budaatum: 4:15pm On Oct 03
Don't you think her father too could have paid 100k to get house chores done for her? And if he did, how do you expect her to have learnt to do house chores in your house. And why are you claiming your wife is complaining about house chores that you pay someone 100k to do for you? Is it because she hasn't got a job of her own? If so, why are you not employing her with the 100k so she could do the house chores you pay someone else to do for you?

Dude, your story just does not add up, and sounds like you just want to vent about something.

vanvickie:
Don't have the feeling pls, I'm married with kids. Like I said, and like you carefully and deliberately omitted 100k will get house chores done for you. That way,Ur wife don't have to 'slave' to sweep the house where she also lives and also considering that while she was sweeping in her father's house,she didn't see it as her father enslaving her. Also, doing your kids home work ain't a house chores please. Is like saying taking your kids to school is a house chore.

Funny how once a woman is married,things she did in her father's house without complaining suddenly become enslavement (women with or without kids). If you are still wasting valuable time doing all house chores instead of outsourcing them, then it's lack of funds that is your issue not enslavement. You think people that have WELL STRUCTURED AND PAID DOMESTIC STAFF just dunno what they want to use their funds for? Even CEOs have to employ people to easy the burden for them. So if a woman isn't bringing anything home, she should do the chores! A husband that is working day and night isn't SLAVING, BUT A WOMAN SWEEPING THE HOUSE THAT A MAN IS PAYING RENT ON IS SLAVING (EVEN IF U R LIVING IN SOMEONE'S HOUSE RENT FREE,SENSE DEMANDS U PICK UP CHORES)... EMOTION GENDER AND THEIR THINKING... LOOKING FOR A MAN TO KPAI WITH OVERSTRESS.

vanvickie:
Rest madam. Why isn't the woman also providing money which runs the home, or will the kids feed and live on love alone? U'll be so naive to underestimate money that takes care of up to 80% of all life issues. Women talk about house chores as if it's a mountain of load .. hope you know in Nigeria, 100k can get you a domestic staff that can take care of almost all the things woman do at home.
You must think your money is more important to your children than the love and care and attention and nurture that your children need and that you've left to their mother. Thankfully, a smart woman would not do those chores alone but would involve her children, and by doing the chores with them build a lifelong rewarding relationship that might exclude you the husband.

Do know that house chores are not only cooking and cleaning, but also include doing homework with your children, which most wives would appreciate more than you sweeping the living room.

But I have the feeling you are not there yet. Get married and have children and come tell us how you put your feet up after work while your wife slaves in your house.

Oh! And do not that I mentioned a woman who does provide everything needed in the house while her husband reasons like you do. He is currently lamenting not having a cordial relationship with his 3 children.

I once had a partner who did exactly that. Got cancer and refused chemo and died in 2 years. Had a neighbour with same cancer who did chemo and lasted 20 years.

If what this Dr. Michael Stein says worked, it would be selling like hot cake.
Family › Re: Men Who Provide Everything Should Not Share Chores by budaatum: 4:03pm On Oct 02
I bet you shouldn't engage in the chore of helping your own children with homework or engaging with them at all since you already provide what you think is more important. And the Gods must help you if you lose your source of income and she finds a way to be the one "completely responsible for every penny spent in the home".

Incidentally, I know a family like you describe, except it's the wife who is "completely responsible for every penny spent in the home" because the company they met in wouldn't hire married couples and suggested he, a lawyer, better be the one to resign since the ongoing restructure required accountants, his wife.

He hasn't worked since they married 15 years ago, and still does no chores and doesn't even engage with his children, thinking like you do that "it is dumb for the man to share house chores with the wife". Unfortunately for him, he's also finding it difficult to share in the love his children have for their hard working caring mother.

Mosco100:

Sounds to me like that God had a will to enslave Adam and Eve with ignorance so they had no will of their own, as opposed to the somewhat superior beings supposedly created on day 6 in his image who were given wills of their own to rule and multiply and subdue and be blessed.

Why the difference, don't you wonder?

Which God? The God who created some to rule and subdue and multiply and be blessed, or the one who enslaved Adam and Eve in ignorance with a lie?

Or is it the same God who did both?

Adam and Eve that chose "their own way" of knowledge that freed them from naked ignorant slavery in the Garden of Eden at about 120 years old to became self employed and populate the entire earth with human beings and die at 930 years old, failed?

Please tell me what "way" they should have chosen so I can understand what non-failure and perhaps success would have been according to you.
