PoliticsRe: Muslims Are More Than Christians In Nigeria - Remi Tinubu by budaatum: 12:03am On Feb 15
harqinhola:
If you believe she isn't making sense, then perhaps you're not thinking logically. Take a moment to consider that the Muslim-Muslim ticket worked for Tinubu, which serves as sufficient evidence to support her argument. If you disagree, let's pair Peter Obi with a Christian from the North to compare the outcomes.
They'd likely tell you there was no election and Tinubu rigged the election, when what's true is, they didn't vote so a mere 9 million elected Tinubu.
PoliticsRe: Who Is Funding Hausa Insurgency In Northern Nigeria? Lai Mohammed Asks... by budaatum: 10:05pm On Feb 14
nairalandankrah:
He explained that the insurgency appears to be asserting a separate Hausa identity and could threaten long standing historical structures in the region, including the influence of the Sokoto Caliphate.

Mohammed recalled that the success of the early nineteenth century Jihad was tied to the control and subjugation of Hausa land and identity. He warned that the current trend could reopen old fault lines if ignored.

“Is Someone Secretly Funding This?” Lai Mohammed Raises Alarm Over Growing Hausa Insurgency https://phoenix-browser.com/GKWDuKQhHXe
I don't know about "someone secretly funding this", but if Hausas ask for public funding, I would very willingly oblige, for I see the Hausas as imprisoned in the Garden of Eden where they can easily be kept ignorant and subservient, and it please me that paid serpents are encouraging them to pluck fruits of knowledge to see if it would really kill them or release them from Eden so they can be self employed and fend for themselves, and likely be as profitable and long living as Adam Eve were.

Had to google to know of what you speak of, and I assume you mean the Russian who recorded his encounter with Africans?

I have no take whatsoever, not knowing the facts of the matter, and would welcome you posting me to a thread. However, my initial response is annoyance he did not pay the Africans he encountered, as it's a growing business that many profit from on pørnhûb, even recording themselves for the profit.

Annoyed though that we would stoop so low that Russians can exploit us so.

Eriokanmi:
I don't agree.
You do not need to agree, and nor do I think the measly 9 million votes that elected Tinubu were from Muslims only.

Fact remains however that enough of us Nigerians could not be bothered to vote, and in my opinion, we therefore deserve what the elected president dishes out to us.

Hopefully we'd learn our lesson for next time, or not and continue wailing.

Kukutente23:
Imagine explaining to Americans who voted a black man for president despite blacks being less than 25% of the population of the country that in your country, you won't vote for someone based on who they worship. I wonder how you think they see Africans in that wise. Some things are better left unsaid or better not said to the wrong audience
And that you're defending this decision after all your glorification of the liberalism that you claim to enjoy in the UK is most disappointing. Perhaps you should question how Khan became Mayor of London cause it's obvious you seem to enjoy touting the rule but you don't believe in its universal application
I don't expect "universal application" from people who don't reason alike.

Khan became mayor because Londoners are not as religiously, racially and tribally bigoted like we Nigerians are, and UK is way more progressive than Nigeria that hasn't considered a woman for president, not even for governor.

As for "how you think they see Africans in that wise", I am in the least concerned, but would consider how we portray ourselves, and moreso how we see ourselves.

And as for your "defending this decision", I am left thinking you have issues comprehending English, because there is nothing to defend, since Tinubu has already done what pleased him and is currently reaping its profit. If you are mindful not to be defensive, I suggest you cast your vote at the next election so you don't end up being ruled by those you dislike.

It's crazy that you people expect Trump to prove or provide evidence he is a pdf but that same expectations were missing when his enemies were in power.
We "people" don't "expect dump to prove or provide evidence he is a pdf". In fact, we actually expect he hide evidence for what he is just as he is doing so the question becomes, what is dump hiding.

My pity is he's not on any more ballots after this term so we can see what voters think, but I'll settle for November. I can't see most electing a party that is backing dump, and I expect his wings to be clipped.

Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by budaatum: 5:30pm On Feb 14
Looks like the Fed can't stop lying, since most believe that importers are so generous that they wouldn't dare increase prices due to tarriffs.


"US firms and consumers continue to bear the bulk of the economic burden of the high tariffs imposed in 2025."

As tariff rates changed and increased last year, exporting countries did not lower the cost of goods in an attempt to ward off any drop in US demand.

Instead, exporters kept their prices the same, passing off the cost of tariffs to any company importing their goods, which in turn responded by increasing the price of those goods to shoppers.

The reaction from exporters in 2025 was essentially the same in 2018, when Trump imposed certain tariffs during his first term in office – the cost of goods for consumers rose, with little other economic impact recorded, the New York Fed said at the time.

Its Thursday findings match research from other recent analyses.

You guys are the ones making the baseless claim, my point was since baseless claims are treated as truth, and he cared so much about accountability for pdf presidents, where was he when Biden was being accused?

So the question for you budaatum, is why are you jumping on allegations that are coming from 45535 now?
Except the queries about dump-Epstein are not as baseless as you imply, and their baselessness can be shown by the current president telling his own controlled 455 DOJ to release info they seem to be hiding.

But I can wait for the truth since November soon come.

Moneyyman:
Do you see how stupid this sounds?

You are essentially saying that the Muslims (mostly the northern Muslims) won't vote e or Christian VP, especially if he's from the North!!!

That means the decision is not political but driven by religious bigotry!

See how stupid her explanations sounds.
Stupid, maybe, but the fact her husband got elected on a Southern Muslim and Northern Muslim platform does prove she has a point. As for religious bigotry, I'm certain you are describing the majority Nigerians.

It might have been harder for a Tinubu win if he'd chosen a Christian as his running mate, as Northern Muslims might not have voted for him even if that Christian mate were from the North. But I'm certain we'd see the results of various permutations in the future sometime to see how it plays out.

I don't even have an issue with voter ID. Even in Nigeria, we have government issued voter cards.


But when you have to get an international passport, which is paid, and not only are you firing people, but you're also stopping public libraries from carrying out passport processing, a long-standing tradition, AND having clauses in your act that will make it very difficult for married women whose names have changed to vote, then there is a problem with your legislation.
It's the shenanigans that most oppose. Good thing is it's incentising people to go get the documents they need to vote this government out in November.

I really do like your approach. Getting them off screens is usually almost like a fight many parents are not willing to start or sustain. And when you do, you almost notice withdrawal symptoms similar to addicted drug users going through detox.

Nowadays in church, teens no longer bring paper bibles to church. Its all in their phones. Meanwhile, even though I have a tablet and an iphone with several translations on it, my big KJV bible must follow me to church.

I recall sometime late last year sitting next to a teen (he should be between 15 - 17 year old) in church and dude had an ear piece on and was navigating between Instagram, TikTok and Facebook all through the service and pretending he was following the sermon.
I wanted to report him to his mum but wifey advised me against it. Weeks later, another woman mentioned it during a departmental meeting that all teens and young adults should bring their paper bibles to church and their parents were to enforce it as what she experienced sitting besides one was exactly what I experienced too.
Their mother said her children would behave like she's killing them if she tried what I did, and was pleased to see they did not die when I did it. I taught them to plan their day the day before and bought them diaries so they plan device use and whatever other activities we'd do. They didn't plan food one day and we all starved till I relented at 5pm after we'd spent the entire day doing my plan of detail cleaning my house.

She got an app on their phones and her's she can switch on or off their internet access. She says she now don't need call them twice for a "yes mummy" because they know no device use for at least an hour. And she's structured their day better so everything has its time. Says its working like a treat now, and she doesn't even have to tell them anymore.

"Teach your child the way it will go and it wouldn't depart from it", kind of applies here. But one must not make that way too narrow, or one would stump the child's growth.

Jesus Christ was hungry most of the time, he went as far as self-actualizing. Sorry to use that extreme example.

Hierarchy of needs just like any academic exercise is just a guide. Rules are made to be broken. And remember there're no rules, only conventions. And the exception proves the rule.
I don't think it's a guide, since no one can tell anyone what it is that they should chase whenever they decide to chase it, or what rules they should break or not.

It's more like an observation made by Maslow than anything else. Many would agree with what you are claiming, that a hungry Jesus was self-actualizing, and even had no means of acquiring a shelter ever.
