Please, which minority has suffered more than black Americans in the USA.

Nigerians who go to America do better than African Americans.
Ghanaians who go to America do better than African Americans.

Clearly, something messed up was done to African Americans that left them behind.

Reminds me of a trip to Mauritius. Went with Indian friends from there and met a Chinese friend from there, but black people were nowhere, and even back home I only knew one. Lots of Indians and few Chinese.

We went on a boat trip and I finally found one. He was the Captain, so I asked him where all the black people was. "We no do with them", he told me.

Apparently, after slavery was abolished they were still made to work as slaves for years until they finally organised and emancipated themselves, which is when the landowners went and got cheap labour from China but found the Chinese were buying up the land, so they went and brought Indians to work their land. But eventually it wasn't profitable anymore without the free slave labour and having to pay wages, so the wealthy European land owners mostly sold up and left.

They still own the juicy bits of land, and the Indians and the Chinese own lots too, but those messed up black Mauritians own almost nothing, because "something messed" up was done to them that has made them disengage and "no do with them".

Kind of like some were so messed up that they boycotted the last Nigerian election.

I love this woman. She and Nigel = good team.

Might be a future team too, if Kemi can hold her nose until Farage stabs her back, though I think it will be the political death of them both in the end and take years to shrug off.

Have you not considered a Farage and Kemi instead?

bayelsaowei:
It shocks me that he has daughters..

To imagine say na person papa be that.

🤮

It gives more time here than to its daughters shocks!

raumdeuter:
Nowadys people dont even get married. Just impregnate one woman, flee and dump the responsibility on govt. Leave the children to be raised by their mothers alone. Then the children turn out bad and the society suffers for it

Two such here are so proud to have impregnated 3 already while spending more of their time here than with their own children.

raumdeuter:
Shows how the world now respects the US president. The countries that matter in the world now know American leadership is back. No longer on apology tours

China now respects the "America leadership" that "is back" with a sales person that America banned from selling to China to beg China to please buy America?

Or was it to beg China to 'sell to USA? I can't really decide which is which.

What you think?

IjeBos:
Why is anyone arguing with a dude who has 5 children he doesn't have custody of with 2 woman who he was never married to, about family values, the benefit of marriage and absentee fathers?

It's like Jeffrey Darhmer arguing for not eating people.

You tell me why. I'd like to know.

You captured my resolution about seeking knowledge and intentionally holding unto ignorance.

While the former might make one feel superior than the latter, he doesn't seem grasp that the more you know, the more restless and exhausted you become.

So, does it even matter to know more at all?

Yes, it does "matter to know more at all", despite "the more you know, the more restless and exhausted you become", at some point in life.

Knowing is a lifetime endeavour, and at some point one knows one knew less than one knows now, and one will know more in the future, and knowing more has not made "one feel superior than the latter", and nor will it in the future, least as far as feelings go. for that would in fact be not-knowing and ignorant.

Knowing opens one's eyes so one may see the inferior in one's own self and admit to oneself that one does not and can not know all, and thereby learn to be compassionate to one's ignorant self.

Besides, history has shown that the unknowing, as in those who do not seek for knowledge with all their heart and soul and mind and being from the cradle to the grave are often enslaved to those who know better and sought understanding of the knowledge so they may gain the principal thing which is Wisdom.

Basically, learn! Ignorance is expensive and not bliss.

No, I do not mean you, Lastpharoah33. You know more just being here.

It's funny how Budaatum wants to die on the Epstein case but he is not pushing for the report or instigation of the grooming gangs going back decades that the British government keeps hiding and stalling.

Below is a list of reports and action taken about gang grooming in UK. Unlike in America under dump where Epsteinism is de rigueur, I'd say Britain is doing pretty better considering dump is bombing Iran to stall and hide his own grooming.

But are you aware that you are asking me to do the equivalent of chop off the hands of the petty thief while the wealthy "donate" to hide their sins, and that one must chop off the head of a snake to kill it?

DomPerignon:
Even your Ojukwu was a card carrying member of the British Communist Party Oxford student branch and the only thing he got from his supposed education was how to lead a violent communist revolution in Nigeria hence why he joined the army as an NCO in a bid to instigate a rebellion and seize power for himself.

Funny this as I'm pro-reading Marx, yet vehemently against violence and thuthera's revolution. But as you said, perhaps Ojukwu got more from his education and reap according.

Below is a peaceful and democratical attempt to separate.

In 2020, through the empowerment partner grants, PayPal aimed to provide financial support and resources to Black-owned businesses and other underrepresented minority entrepreneurs that faced unprecedented challenges from the Covid pandemic. By empowering these businesses, PayPal sought to contribute to their growth and success in the marketplace. These grants provided direct support to business owners to cover expenses related to stabilizing and reopening their businesses.

Why, one wonders, would anyone who knows about subprime loans believe a Peter Thiel company is for the benefit of others?

benalvino3:
Your analysis on almost everything like this are always wrong.

From BYD to everything.

Do you even understand my analysis on any thing first, before you assume to stand in judgement?

simpleseyi:

Stop substance abuse

If only.

Atiku does not love Nigeria, that we all 'assume' let me say to hedge against those who might disagree, and it's been pointed out he can not run as vice again - gratitude to you all who educated me, but he most definitely might help put Peter Obi in to power by forming a coalition with Peter Obi and throwing his weight behind Peter Obi and picking Obi's vice and campaigning for Peter Obi.

But there's nothing in that for Atiku, who does not love Nigeria enough for such a no gain sacrifice to himself to help us remove APC and Tinubu, whom I feel needs removing by all means possible so we can audit our books after what might end up being 16 years of APC.

DeepSight:
He doesn't have a mind. He simply follows anything which Trump and the extreme right say. That's not a mind. Chap is dumb as rock.

We don't use our own minds when we empower them to consume our most valuable time with their maga kraken.

We must understand that each of them might represent silents who use their own senses if when shown the most infinite regression they can look at so that we may all see.

The enrichment of the capitalist by tax and the China rug pull.

I need to testify my highest rating ever, and the fact that I have no games going for the first time in like 10 years at least.

helinues:
It would be a waste of time to explain if you didn't know about it prior

Or you can't explain what you don't understand.

NerdCat:
Actually Atiku Abubakar served as Vice President of Nigeria from 1999 to 2007, under one president, in one continuous political relationship. That is one VP tenure. He has not been VP a second time. He has run, unsuccessfully, for President six times. So it would be a second VP term, not a third.

Is there a reason he can not do 4-5 terms as VP?

Counterigbolies:
so atiku can b vp for d 3rd time right?

Can he not? Why not?

Counterigbolies:
U are talking rubbish

Accept u goofed n move on

Where did I goof exactly? I do not move till I've learnt.

Counterigbolies:
see people we argue politics with?

They know nothing about politics n even the constitution

I am waiting for helinues or you to explain this constitution to me please,

helinues:
Moreover, your epistle didn't answer my simple question. Where is it in Nigeria constitution that one can be a vice president for 3 times

It doesn't. And neither does the Nigerian Constitution not say a vice president can not be vice president for life.

helinues:
It's disappointing for you to make this kind of thread

You mean Atiku can become a VP for the third time?

Did you just ignore the "if"?

No, I do not "mean Atiku can become a VP for the third time", since I don't know how or if the majority of Nigerians will vote for anything with his name on it as he is not loving Nigeria at all in my own opinion, but to add to your disappointment perhaps, since you think it matters, Obi - and I am Obidient, due to my anti-continuance of APC and despite my ọmọ wa ni, I can not see Obi winning the presidency against Tinubu without a hefty Northerner by his side.

And that's apart from the fact that Tinubu, despite life in Nigeria being more expensive and harder now that we can no more freely eat the subsidised fruit of every tree and now have to sweat from our own brow to feed our own bellies, has done some things that some seem to appreciate, hence their support, and some of those things will prepare us for our futures when everything will cost hundreds times what it cost today, unless you wanna argue we aren't capitalised enough for that yet or wouldn't definitely become in the future

I just wish he would stop government subsidizing wages for employers and scrap NYSC though, so employers are not incentivised to create a lack of the unskilled, but I would only mention that to disappoint you further.

HacheNoire:
Now we have so much freedom that stupidity and foolishness is now a norm.

Do you want to lose your own "so much freedom" because "stupidity and foolishness is now a norm" for some who want to use their own "so much freedom" for "stupidity and foolishness"?

My single lament about our Nairaland is we are unable to organise ourselves to accomplish, it seems, and need to work better, I think.


And no, I am not using the below to suggest you become a communist or a socialist even. Just the Unite bit please.

TokoEkambi:
I didn't read about the Rendlesham incident, ...

Not even the wiki page, not to talk of a book, and you are here asking, "have you heard"?

You brave.

We Nigerians can amuse me. Their supervisors have japa to where they are paid better and we don't want interns. Lol.

Was reading this earliar. Makes me think some basic healthcares might not be affordable without interns, who of course must be trained and supervised very well by supervisors who are sufficiently rewarded to not japa.

Kanwulia:
How many times has Atiku been rigged out?😆

I thought Atiku lost every time he contested because enough Nigerians did not vote for him.

How many times has Atiku been rigged out?

According to the statement, opposition parties must focus on building a formidable coalition capable of defeating the incumbent rather than making what it described as sentimental or symbolic decisions.

I can not disagree with this at all, and have gone as far as to suggest it for consideration by our Nairaland selves to see if it should-would wider field.

yemmight:
The person that posted this is not normal. Self centered people. Must you people impose Obi on us?

"Us", being 'majority of Nigerians' if we can democratically present options that might make a majority of Nigerians vote for "us"?

Yes!

I'll excuse your, "you people", for now, though, I confess you need to explain to me when opening my mouth to utter words became "impose", and when you became the doctor of buda.

Contributors, make every word Sunday, please.

Atiku would run as vice president to President Obi if Atiku really loved Nigeria.
