Amujale:This is not a true statement. Nina Simone did not will her assets to her daughter! According to Nina's will, obtained by TMZ, Nina put the bulk of her estate assets into a charitable trust to benefit the musical education of Black African children from Ghana, Liberia and South Africa.Also... The daughter of the late legendary jazz singer Nina Simone fleeced her mom's Estate and FLAGRANTLY ignored Nina's last wish -- to fund schools for poor kids in Africa ... this according to law enforcement.A pdf of the settlement: https://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/charities/estate-of-nina-simone-settlement.pdf |
Amujale:Below are some views on the matter. Nina Simone did not will her assets to her family. She put it in trust to educate kids. And if her daughter was mismanaging the trust by using the revenue for her personals as alleged, she would have needed to be removed as manager, and the race of new managers would have been irrelevant.

This just makes me think Dangote should not have bothered investing so much in Nigeria. It definitely would convince non-Nigerians not to invest in Nigeria. And it saddens me because it would make some not bother investing in Nigerians too.

Maryflygirl:“Due to recent changes in how we determine account eligibility, we are no longer able to support accounts for businesses with associated addresses located in these countries,” according to emails seen by TechCabal. With the new prohibitions, African startups incorporated in Delaware cannot open Mercury accounts unless the founders live in the U.S. While Mercury cited those concerns, it has not helped that some affected countries have been on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Greylist since 2023. Countries on the list are subject to additional scrutiny because of deficiencies in money laundering and terrorism financing regulations. “Greylisting adds another layer of risk and complexity to businesses that already perceive Nigeria as a high-risk country for anti-corruption and other financial crime risks,” according to a 2023 KPMG report. https://techcabal.com/2024/07/23/us-bank-mercury-to-close-accounts-of-nigerian-startups/ |
FgSecretary:Nice try!

bemeruca:Your "math is racist" as usual. A coup would have been well deserved if Biden hadn't found a way to step aside, and the only reason you frame it as you've done is to console yourself now that dump has a formidable opponent he might lose to. |
Racoon:Serene, until an explosion disturbed the serenity one day.

LDaVinci:You listen to Owen Shroyer? His boss Alex Jones is going bankrupt for lying that Sandy Hook victims were actors, lol. I guess prison never taught Owen not to lie, but I'd expect you to discern the truth.

The jokers are whipping the devil they think is in the ground and not humbling the devil that is in their own human hearts, but I guess the truth does not provide tithe income. |
nairavsdollars:Funny Nigerians think they can just utter "let there be", and "there is", because the book they got it from has that early in the beginning and leaves out all that was between "let there be", and "there was". In the same breathe, they quickly forget they were not created in God's image to "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground”, but were created from mud and ordered to slave naked in a tiny poxy garden. Until we Nigerians eat the fruits of the trees of knowledge so our eyes open and we discover that knowledge does not kill but will make us be as gods, all our "let there be" will end up with us yelling "Nepa!"

AmiableMosquito:Came across you while trying to figure what the syndicate could be here. Got any clues? |
lavida001:They can't obviously teach all history, but they do teach a lot of history here, at least compared to some places. And there's always libraries and books and telly where a lot of history can be seen. There's even a whole month dedicated to Black History, so I'd even go as far as claiming quite a lot of "British colonial racist past" is taught, which really can't not be taught since some pesky kid from India or Kenya or Jamaica or Nigeria or even Ireland would raise the "British colonial racist past" as a topic in class and cause it to be discussed. And the intention of teaching about it is so students learn to not be racist and stupid now. Below is from the history curriculum. The national curriculum for history aims to ensure that all pupils: |
Zahra29:Actually, I am suggesting that the liberal education dished to children till they hit 16 plus every other measure taken to ensure people live in harmony and respect each other including the foresight of the monarch to declare some 50 years ago that he will defend all faiths has effected change in the racial attitude of the society. |
Zahra29:Britain has always prided itself on its ability to "altering the fundamental" of just about everything, so I would be surprised if Darwin country refuses to change now I'd think, and a country that takes "In the beginning was the Word" as seriously as UK has, a "modified pledge" is similar to a modified code that makes computer function differently. As to "lose sight, or watering down its own", one just need go in the buildings where they worship to know they've not only watered, they'd almost completely eradicated or fully imbibed, take your pick, though I do confess to extreme exaggerations. Regardless, the sentiment is out there and a lot of work has been done in the last 50 years for me to not recognise its effect in enabling diverse people to live together relatively peacefully. Zahra29:Home ownership? You'd be surprised how many rather want to travel the world and earn an income abroad instead of being tied down to a mortgage, which I offer to show not everyone thinks alike. But even for home ownership, immigration is good, as landlords who own houses as opposed to homes, can rent them for more to immigrants than Brits on the dole. Fact is, Britain use to be 'no blacks no dogs no Irish', and you don't need a poll to see how far we've evolved.

Cyberknight:As I said, as close to trump as we're gonna get in UK, as that's how far apart from US UK is where you can't get away saying a quatre of what trump says.. |
Asking a driver to move over never bodes well in the end as you're stuck with having to do it. A well deserved win for Piastri all the same.

Cyberknight:"Liberalism or advances in thought are not always guaranteed to change" anything. Education, however, the sort of education that promotes the development and use of the mind to think and reason, does change a lot "the underlying nature of the human being" or at least that of most who are successfully educated, and the British do educate their young well. Still, 2029 soon come. Well see then if we are as ignorant as electing Reform would suggest we are or if we've overcome the xenophobia that made us leave Europe. Cyberknight:Britain is not France, and the UK education system is class and it is location and it is how knowledgeable one is to know to chose it and definitely not egalitarian at all. You will however learn history whatever school you go, and be shown the ignorance of past racism and the predominant preferred attitude today. You'd even be asked to sign up to antidiscrimination laws if you wanna work, and nothing makes people align better than hitting money in their pockets. The closest Britain would get to Trump is Boris, I reckon. |
Cyberknight:You are indeed free to think what you want, but having to learn maths and science and critical reasoning till 16 does make the brain work better I think, unsarcastically. If Nigeria had a similar homegrown version, we'd stand in much more brotherhood as races and tribes as we currently stand in fact. Likely why Tinubu has made us repeat and learn the past. Anecdote. My sister in Bradford moved in next to a Pakistani family and went say hello. They invited her in, made her tea, told her who they were and how pleased they were she was their neighbour, the previous ones were a-holes. Told her good secondhand furniture is at British Heart Foundation and if she needs handiwork done they know good people. Few weeks later she had to come London, "oh, we'll keep eye on the place for you". Yesterday she said she visited and asked if they knew any employment agencies in UK. "What? You looking for work?". Father called a company he knew was opening and asked if they needed an accountant. Daughter rang her agency and introduced,"she's dedicated and hard working". Brother said cloths shop if she looking for just weekend. My sister said she was in shock, making me laugh at her suprise at reaping the goodness and mercy she sows.

Zahra29:It wasn't shut down in the millions of minds who appreciated even just the sentiment not to talk of his decades of history promoting interfaith. The British do after all know by the fruits they see. |
Cyberknight:You funny. By 2029, more children who have gone through the British liberal education system, where they would have sat in class with multiraced people and learnt together to think and reason critically and about each other and all gods will be old enough to vote. They are not going to vote en masse for a hate your neighbour party when the opposite is their DNA, especially not when the King is The Defender of Faiths.

Houseontherock1:T'is why my faith in this young generation is so hugely massively immense.

WhiteIverson:Thank you. Be blessed too. |
abba09:Never in your life you never had 1 meal a day? Secondary was ogi in the morning back for 3pm lunch, but my hungry belly always took the 10 kobo for the 7 miles bus ride from school to home so I'd walk and miss lunch and hopefully have supper or stay up all night reading because I couldn't sleep on an empty stomach. Later, 18 thereabouts was find rent pay college buy books, so it really was 1 meal a day. Till one day a friend arrived crying that his brother spent all the money he worked and saved up for 10 years and my one meal a day became half a meal a day. 58 today. This too will pass is my point. |
Disgusting police colluded to keep her jailed for so long in the United States of America.

bemeruca:You smirk, but it does make for a better society than one where police bully people with guns and army and teargas. Though it must be noted our rioters and burners don't have guns neither, and our fire brigade is top notch and even rioters and burners make way for them especially when told people might be burning. And we do educate better, I daresay. |
bemeruca:We have technology that unmasks faces, and we may collect finger prints and dna as evidence. Besides, it is British and many humans wherever their from's values and culture for mothers to report their rioting and burning sons to the cops. Or wouldn't you report your kids if they were stupid enough to go riot and burn? |
