Continue to defend

I don't know what's wrong with you guys

Whether it's a lack of empathy and compassion that's disturbing you guys, i don't know.
100 million Nigerians registered to vote at the last election. 9 million elected Tinubu, and the two closest got like 6 million each, meaning 75% of eligible Nigerian voters decided to sit on their asses and not vote.

I do not have sympathy for, and nor will I defend those who are unwilling to fight for their own emancipation, and will in fact praise us when we understand and realise how powerful we are to effect the change we want.

Crude oil is not "actively available locally here".
Dangote imports crude oil

The refinery also highlighted constraints in domestic supply. It receives just five cargoes a month from NNPC, instead of the 13 cargoes required under the naira-for-crude policy, forcing reliance on imported crude purchased at international market rates.

“Furthermore, while we receive about five cargoes a month from NNPC, which we pay for in naira, these cargoes are priced at international market prices plus premium and fall short of the 13 cargoes which we require to support sales into Nigeria,” the refinery stated.

No one got diabetes back then drinking 7up
I got an in-law who got it from Coca-Cola. And diabetics is, or rather, used to be rampant in the Orolu Kingdom because of high sugar content in our palm-wine.
PoliticsRe: There Was A Country…” (Nigerian Nostalgia Thread) by budaatum: 4:20pm On Mar 08
7Up was 10 kobo in 1974. We drank it on special occasions only because ma said the sugar was no good, though I'm certain it was because she could not afford it on her about ₦150 salary a month, and her saving for cement. I had a friend though who'd guzzle like 4, a bottle in one gulp just to show he could. He's invested in diabetics now, I'm told.

He thinks his opinions are more important than mine.
No Ben, I do not think my "opinions" are more important than yours, since your own opinion must be more important to you regardless what I say, and though in truth, my own opinion is way more important to me than your own irrelevant opinion is to me, but what I think regarding the subject called Tommy Robinson is that the judgement of the jury is more important to me than your own opinion or even my opinion.

If a Muslim or a Nigerian does a version of what he does, I'd be equally delighted if he's jailed too.
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by budaatum: 3:50am On Mar 08
bemeruca:
What's the evidence?

Its your opinion too isn't it? You talk about how he spreads hate which is a big deal in the UK, especially against Islam but he has never been charged with hate crimes.
Are you asking me where the evidence the prosecution presented before a jury and that a jury saw and that he himself admitted he was guilty of and that the judge agreed with him and sentenced him, is, or is it that you do not think spreading lies against a person because they are different and worship a different god is a crime of hate. Or perhaps you think a jury's decision is the opinion of budaatum?

bemeruca:
He does not promote hatred.
That is your own independent opinion to which you are entitled. You however do not make laws for the UK where the courts have decided he did promote hatred, and where he himself admitted he promoted hatred.

Why Was Tommy Robinson Jailed?
Robinson was imprisoned in October 2024 after breaching a court order that had been issued following a libel ruling against him. He had falsely accused a Syrian refugee teenager of violent behaviour, claims the High Court had already ruled were defamatory.

Despite the legal consequences, Robinson continued to repeat the allegations – including at a public rally – in direct defiance of the injunction.

He later admitted to 10 breaches of the order, leading to his 18-month sentence for contempt of court – which is a serious offence that can attract immediate custody.
Now, we both know we'd not agree on this despite all the evidence, so forgive me If no further responses.

An American ground invasion of Iran would be similar to Athens' invasion of Sicily in 415 BCE, as described in Thucydides' The Peloponnesian War. Despite its initial successes, the Athenians couldn't re-supply themselves, and their entire expedition was wiped out.

This disastrous defeat turned the war in Sparta's favor, and spelled the downfall of the Athenian empire.

Could the American empire in Iran suffer the same fate as the Athenian empire in Sicily?
A Short History Of Western Legal Theory by J. M. Kelly says the Peloponnesian War and the eventual fall of Greece states led to the rise of the latinized legal system that Rome imposed on its empire. The rub being that prior to the Peloponnesian War, Greek members states had their own various diverse mostly unwritten laws.

I've also been reading about Napoleon's 1812 invasion of Russia, which led to War of the Sixth Coalition and the defeat of France.

There's a lot to learn from knowing history.

The hatred he promotes is exposing the grooming gang?
The hatred he promotes motivates some to go and attack only those grooming gangs that don't look like them when there are also many grooming gang members who look like him too.

As for your "hatred for", the government just recently lost their case against Palestine Action for displaying Hama flags, amongst other things. So I wouldn't agree that UK hates anyone.

The point is, this is a progressive behaviour for liberals.
No Bem, this is not "a progressive behaviour for liberals". What it is is some people campaigning for the votes of liberals, at best, and others who might not like the current government. As as you've been informed, some are already being rejected.

bemeruca:
It's why you are attacking Tommy Robinson for exposing it. You call him my friend, yes he is my friend even if I don't know him personally
I am not attacking Tommy Robinson, Ben. He does his parliament marches where I can easily walk to and I've never bothered getting out my house to go and attack irrelevant pointless him.

What you don't get is UK does not condone the sort of hatred he promotes. But I guess you might learn from the results of our next election.

And yes, your first thought is to claim it's not the same. I am telling you that here in UK, there's no difference.

The relationship between people of differing skin colours is forever tainted by the history of slavery. But it is particularly sad to see that those who hold on to the expired notion are still held in high regard by the very people they despise. It is like hearing fingernail scratches on a chalkboard to my brain.
I think this is the reason, Ije, that Britain might be different. Blacks here never were slaves here. And those who were enslaved elsewhere and are now here are treated fairly regardless of colour.

On the whole, I should say, since we have that friend of ben called Tommy.

An old dead friend told me, during the world war 2, American soldiers came in a cafe they was in and walked up to a black guy in his regiment and ask him to leave. "Ns aren't allowed in here", they said.

They told the Americans. "This is our n. He goes where we go".

It's not always the case here in blighty where I live, is my point.
