If the UK can be aggressive about keeping out people for offensive opinions, then people are right to question why dangerous criminals are slipping through.
And we question this every day. Just that we are not so ignorant to assume "dangerous criminals" who are slipping through will apply for visas and write 'dangerous criminal' when asked for occupation, while we already know Kanye will disturb our peace when he applied for his visa.

If the "dangerous criminals" who are slipping through had asked for visa we'd have denied him like we did Kanye.

You ignore the "we didn't know anything about him", like we know about Kanye, and you lie with your "UK allowing a murderer to enter the UK", when he came in illegally, but you think I'll waste my time with you who can't understand what you've posted?

You funny ben.

bemeruca:
Budaatum thinks it's okay to block Kanye West from entering the UK because he said some anti-Semitic things he apologized for, but is okay with the UK allowing a murderer to enter the UK, give him a 4 star hotel, pay for his doctors and lawyers who then r8ped a woman.

Quick question though, if you see someone in the market who dressed nice with a loud speaker and a cartoon of indomie dancing and asking you to join him 😂😂

Will you dance?
Of course I would not! I don't even eat that crap, but wouldn't dance for food anyway as I'm not that hungry nor broke.

Credit for your funny story though. You wouldn't have it to tell if you hadn't danced.

You think every business being done by Nigerians in s/a is petty business...? shocked
No, I do not think anything of the sort. I am just responding to those who say Nigerian petty businesses in South Africa are being attacked

brain54:
Even if it hasn't gotten to the scale of the mtn's and the likes I'm sure they are Nigerian businesses done on a very large scale.
I agree but still checked, and found the following:

Dangote Cement: Operates in South Africa through Sephaku Cement (64% ownership). It manages a grinding plant in Delmas, Mpumalanga, and has plans to further increase production capacity by 2026.

Access Bank South Africa: Headquartered in Sandton, Johannesburg, it entered the market by acquiring Grobank in 2021. In late 2024, it expanded further by acquiring Bidvest Bank for approximately R2.8 billion.

Zenith Bank: Maintains a presence in South Africa, focusing on corporate and investment banking services as part of its broader African footprint.

IHS Towers: One of the largest independent telecom tower operators globally, it has a significant operational presence in South Africa following major infrastructure deals.

Flutterwave: A major Nigerian fintech "unicorn" that facilitates cross-border payments for businesses operating in South Africa.

Jumia (Zando): Nigeria's leading e-commerce platform operates in South Africa under the brand name Zando.

Airtel Africa: Headquartered in South Africa, this telecom giant manages extensive operations across Nigeria and 13 other African countries.


I have not found reports those companies are being attacked.

brain54:
If they don't want foreigners there they should simply send all foreigners there packing and Create laws to prevent them from coming there and leave other people's country also irrespective of whether they do mega business and others do petty business in their own country.

It's very simple!
It's most likely the phools and ijiots who don't want foreign businesses in their South Africa. The smart South Africans would want foreign investment regardless where it comes from.

Go ask Ur brothers in South Africa how they r destroying people's businesses....
Why should I go and ask anybody in South Africa anything when I should be asking my own brothers and sisters in Nigeria why we are stooping so low so South Africans are destroying people's business?

In fact, why is it that it is petty business that we are going to do in South Africa? Are South Africans doing petty business in my Nigeria?

If South Africans don't want us in their country, can we not go elsewhere with our petty business or go to South Africa with massive business that they can not attack?

Shame on us Nigerians!

We need to study these "100 couples across Zamfara State" to see how married they are in a years time.

So, if you see this post of mine in 2027, like it to remind me to ask please.
Crime › Re: Teenage Boy Kills Mother For Refusing To Give Him ₦40 Million To Travel To Canad by budaatum: 5:06pm On Apr 23
The fact this teenage boy was so ill educated that he did not know that his dead mother will eventually smell says a lot indeed, and should warn parents to educate their children so they don't end up killing their parents or anyone else.

Attacking other Africans who engage in petty businesses shows the level of their laziness
First know that I do not condone the stupid South Africans who are attacking "Africans who engage in petty businesses", but please notice that the business South Africans do in Nigeria is not petty!

That said, explain to me how you are going to destroy my MTN, Stanbic IBTC, and Seplat business please. I'd like to know.

Some Tinubu supporters, maybe, please. And a tiny few at that. And precisely because "it has always been a normal part of political strategy" to say silly things about your political opponents just as you are doing here!

Health › Re: Imagine What Happened To Me After Sex & The PEP by budaatum: 4:53pm On Apr 23
The sad thing is, your symptoms likely never had anything to do with the "protected sex with a lady and after 24hours", and most likely came from your own previous unprotected sex, and instead of asking "Guys stay away from sex. Don't use 5mins to destroy your life", it's you that girls should permanently stay away from!

Hopefully, you'd grow a spot on your forehead so we can tell.
Business › Re: South African Companies That Repatriate Billion Dollars Back Home Every Year by budaatum: 4:46pm On Apr 23
Did someone tell you that I should keep my money in Nigeria just because I made that money selling to you in Nigeria?

I mean. I sell you stuff. You buy my stuff. I take my money wherever I want. No be so? Or do you want me to share my profit with you too?

If fact, don't I (MTN, Stanbic IBTC, and Seplat) share my profit with Nigeria you, being listed on your Nigerian Stock Exchange where you can buy shares of my company and be paid dividends from my profit?

Look at you, like na juju I do you "whereas MTN Nigeria has over 94 million subscribers". Shior!

Watch this, A month to the midterms the Democrats will start another Govt shutdown and let it run into the midterms so they can use it for their political gains like last year
Actually, about a month to the midterms, dump's government will hit the debt ceiling and run out of money to pay its bills, and of course the Democrats will use the ineptitude of dump's government as a campaign and political gains opportunity.

You can't seen to reflect at all or you'd see how guilty you are of all you accuse tctrills of. But what's funnier is you thinking others don't notice.

Dtruthspeaker:
Google says
Emotional blackmail is a potent form of manipulation and a type fallacy where an individual uses Fear, Obligation, or Guilt (FOG) Lies, Insalts, Intimidation and Harassment to control another person's behavior, rather than using valid reasoning or evidence to support their demands

So, the bottom line is since you cannot make any reasonable argument you have resorted to lies, abuse and blackmail. A case of

When you have no basis for an argument, abuse the plaintiff. -Marcus Tullius Cicero 😁😁😁😁

Foreign Affairs › Re: Islamic Slave Trade In The 21st Century - Far Worse Than You Think by budaatum: 3:27pm On Apr 23
It is not only misleading, Kobojunkie is intentionally being dishonest, and he is simply promoting the Islamophobia for which he has been banned in the Islamic section, which seems to have pained him much and made him post his lies here!

Myndd4 and Dominique should not let him get away with this!


educatedfool:
This post is deliberately misleading. It's trying to frame a criminal human trafficking crisis as something inherently tied to Islam, which is simply not true.

Human trafficking in Libya is a documented reality, but it's the result of lawlessness, militias, and organized crime networks operating in a failed state, not religious doctrine. Libya has been unstable since the 2011 collapse of its government, and that vacuum is what allows these abuses to happen.

Calling it "Islamic slave trade" is dishonest framing. Islam, like Christianity or any major religion, explicitly condemns oppression and exploitation. Criminals abusing people in a Muslim-majority region does not make their actions "Islamic" any more than crimes in Europe or America make them "Christian crimes."

And if we're going to play that game, what about human trafficking in places like parts of Europe, Southeast Asia, or even cases linked to Epstein's island? Were those "Christian trafficking rings"? Of course not. That would be just as ridiculous.

This isn't about religion. It's about power, poverty, migration desperation, and criminal exploitation. Trying to pin it on Islam is either ignorance or intentional bias.

If you actually care about the victims, you'd focus on the real causes instead of pushing an agenda.
And before you accuse me of taqiwhatever, junkie, remember buda is an atheist!

Jean Jacques Rousseau and ​Martin Heidegger for example, are two staggering intellectual philosophical giants who were morally less than desirable. One was a Nazi and the other abandoned his children.

Intellect and moral clarity are not the same thing.
Interesting, this. Much debated too.

Crime › Re: Alleged Money Laundering: Court Adjourns Arraignment Of Sunil Vaswani, Others To by budaatum: 4:41pm On Apr 22
One would think the EFCC lawyer, Henry Anaso, would ask the court to issue a warrant for the arrest of the defendant who refused to turn up in court. Instead the EFCC lawyer is praying for another date as if he is the defendant's lawyer!

At the resumed hearing of the matter on Wednesday, EFCC lawyer, Henry Anaso, informed the court that the agency was having difficulties to secure the attendance of the defendants.

He, therefore, prayed the court for another date.

The defendants were not in court, neither were they represented by any lawyer.
Romance › Re: Modern Women No Understand Struggle by budaatum: 4:07pm On Apr 22
Modern women go to school to get educated so they can work and earn their own money. Ancient women learnt a trade to earn their own money because they knew they couldn't rely on manna from man or heaven. Stupid people, male and female, marry each other and wail when they can not provide or be provided for.

The men mostly wail at government.

I do agree they are seeking attention.
But it's also a double edged sword.
As we saw with Trump the absence of push back creates a vacuum where the false information flourishes.
There was push back against dump. It was just the wrong push back. He got Democrats pushing back against men in womens' toilets for instance, and that just added fuel to his nonsense.

But hey! Do you please. My own time is far too precious than to be using it to push back against the few sniterc who don't live in the country and don't have a vote or a brain.
