Google is your friend,I am not like you spreading lies grin grin
I did google. Found not only power outs, but fuel and bread shortages too, and that last is from a product they are a one of top 5 producers of.

Federal government agency (NNPC) cut corners by importing bad fuel into the country that put Nigerians into suffering way before Putin invaded Ukraine.

UK had fuel shortages too before UKraine. Notice how they solved it not with protests.

So they should keep quiet so that it won’t be hijacked. I don’t know why I share same country with some people
Protests have never solved a single problem in Nigeria that I know of, but I guess we can keep doing the same things so we keep getting the same result.

What are you even talking about? Is it not a shameful thing in Nigeria as a oil producing nation can't get a working refinery.
Whether global crisis or not Nigeria is always facing scarcity of fuel every time, long queues in filling stations always happening.
Goodluck Jonathan time same thing.
You people blame everything on global crisis.
I'm not blaming global crisis, I'm blaming us, we Nigerians, whom, if we had done what we should have done, we'd be swimming in petrol today, but as usual, we export the wheat and import cornflakes and then blame the government when we starve.

I can't wait for Dangote to finally show us what we should have done. We just might apply our new learning to electricity.

I sincerely believe I'd have to pay you a lot to go live there in Ukraine. Like $10,000 or 2k even for some, but you not telling truth about their light and you know you aren't. It's after all not exactly easy to send light down blown up electric poles and you'd expect Russia to know that.

You'd think Nigeria is the only country suffering from the increase in fuel price and undersupply, when in fact the entire world is facing the same problem, but how does Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIW, want you to deal with it? By protesting, as usual, instead of organising and electing competent rulers, and they know that hoodlums will hijack the protest!

Some just need to destroy Nigeria, by hook or by crook, and some innocent Nigerians will join in because they do not understand the harm they do.

Gointo:
Satan deceived mankind, when God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die and the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die..

What brought sin that we now talk about is disobedience to the word of God. .
Now the consequence of the disobedience is death.
Now that by the fall of man ,man had been sentenced to death.
The good news is that the mercy of God of provocked grace,the GRACE is that
lord JESUS CHRIST offered himself as the lamb for the atonement of sin to overrule the curse of death..
That is why he said to Mary when he went to raise lazarus from the dead in John 11:25
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

Also inRevelation 1:18
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
REPENT OF YOUR SIN
ACCEPT THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE BY ACCEPTING THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOUR by saying this prayer LORD JESUS CHRIST I believe you die for my sin,wash me of my sin by your blood,that you shed for me on the cross of calvary ,I accept you as my personal lord and saviour.Amen.

get a Bible and seek the Lord in prayer so that you can be filled with his spirit.
John 3:5
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Matthew 5:6
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
You are funny.

Dtruthspeaker:
Do you yourself Truly hunger and thirst in pursuit of righteousness?

Did you eat the bread of righteousness when it was given you or you just admired the bread and walked away?

The lawmakers who saw the insanity too probably don't have children or their kids are not in school

The state of Florida does not want any school to teach children under age 9 about sexuality without their parents approval, if you want your kid to learn sexuality without your approval, take them to places where that is acceptable
Of course. Though, don't forget I teach them about sex at home from much earlier an age being that we reared chicken.

Yes its a school and a parent enrolled their child to be taught academics not sexual content to a 7yr old
Raum, you either do not have children or they are not in school yet, because if you had, and your child only went there to be taught academics, then I'd strongly suggest you ask for your money back because your child is not receiving what you are paying for.

And to be honest with you, considering academics might have been your own school experience, I'd expect you'd know better by now.

Should anyone discuss anything relating to sexuality with your 6yr old without permission from you the parent? Why will you want to exclude the parent from conversations on sexuality with a 7yr old
It's school! A place where I so trust my child to that I even pay for my child to got there, which is permission being paid for, and if I do not want my child to learn certain things they teach there, I can enrol my child in the school that teaches it only what I want or teach my child what I want in my own home!

A bill that says dont teach children under 9yrs old about sexuality WITHOUT parental consent is what liberals are fighting about

I wonder how opponents will present their case without lying

Will they say that "We want children under 9yrs to be taught about sexuality WITHOUT informing the parents?"

Since they can't run on the truth, they preferred to create a fake and false narrative that is very different from the facts
Some want to empower the 6 year old to speak up against their sexual abusers, but of course in your mind, by "taught about sexuality" you mean, teaching them to have sex.

As things stand, most sports follow the guidelines set by the International Olympic Committee in 2015, which permit trans women to compete in female sport if they suppress their testosterone levels below 10nmol per litre.

However, in August the IOC admitted these rules were “not fit for purpose” and would be revised in the next few months. The five sports councils across the UK go further still by stating that suppressing testosterone for 12 months “cannot guarantee fairness”.

“Rather, there appears to be a retention of physical capacity in transgender people who suppress testosterone from male levels,” it states. “Such physical differences will also impact on safety parameters in sports which are combat, collision or contact in nature.”

The guidelines state that because males and females do not often play competitive sports against each other, many people do not appreciate the differences, particularly in team sports.

“However, an understanding of the gap between the two sexes can be recognised by results of practice matches between national senior women’s football teams against underage boys’ teams in recent years,” it says. “The national teams from Australia, USA and Brazil were beaten comprehensively (7-0, 5-2, 6-0 respectively) by club teams of 14- and 15-year-old boys.”

I never said fox lacks credibility because of magas, Ben. Maga is a very recent phenomenon, and Fox has had no credibility as far as I was concerned, because it was owned by Murdoch, and is the same reason I don't watch Sky News.

Now go check when Murdoch owned Fox, and you might fit a date to it instead of your usual, making things up.

This is a fight back, Ben. For centuries, if you were gay you better keep it to yourself, but now, things have thankfully changed. Same with race and gender, both fighting against perceived historically perpetuated discrimination.

I'm glad you can't be a bigot and keep your job, but it's your choice and not by force that you should change so long as you don't mind the consequences.

Funny enough, fox News is supposed to gain reputation last regime because they got a lot of things other networks was getting wrong.

It's also surprising to see that you side with MAGA or Q just to say fox News lose its reputation which is the point of my reply to you. You don't care facts, you just want what agrees with your preconceived bias.

Anyways, C-span will be the innocent kid on the block but I hardly ever watch them except on some live government events.

I grew up with cnn... It took their coverage of Michale Brown to question all the media. Then I started watching and comparing and using independent to verify... Quickly realised how everything has been a lie from the Iraq War till today. Shame on all of them. I remember time to time my dad will tune to fox News back then and they are spewing same BS to invade Iraq... Same was the case with the BBC.
It's your opinion fox "got a lot of things other networks was getting wrong". To me, they were hardly a news network, as they often included opinion, but that's an American thing, generally. All their news is opinionated to one side or the other

I grew up with BBC World Service and Voice of America, and English radio from Russia and China and the rest of the world. It's amazing what reception a Grundig on the third floor gives you, and then, perhaps because of the diversity, one pretty quickly learns all media is biased.

Chomsky (reading in my day), wrote quite a lot about this phenomenon. Unfortunately, smart people study his work as a 'how to' as opposed to a 'see what'.

All news media is biased, Ben. Believe any at one's peril.

I get where you are going but your analogy is faulty. Someone who is a man that thinks he is a woman(made up) is forcing others to think it's a biological fact that he actually became a woman and so he is competing with woman.

The made up religion is not forcing anyone to believe it whereas the other will have you lose your job and shamed if you question it.

So you are right that society is going towards a path they where once was. You know how certain religion spread through the sword(by force) today you must accept such delusion or be excommunicated, shamed and exiled. People in the guise of inclusion and empathy are actually going towards the salvage way of life some society in the past came out of. So they may call themselves progressives but they are actually regressive.
Society is not forcing others to think anything, as far as I am concerned. To me, being told what gender or sex you prefer, is similar to you telling me you are a saint or a god or rich or a doctor. In the end I will rely on my own senses, since what you call yourself or want to be called has no more significance than your name.

I'll give you an example. There's a person on here with speaker of truth in their monicker, but this individual only speaks what they think is the truth, and often actual lies, and despite contradictory not disputed evidence to the contrary. I may call that person by their speak the truth monicker but I know that person is far too ignorant to know the truth. Same with you stating what you wish to be called. I can call you her and she if you want, though knowing you have a diq. No skin off my nose you see. Whatever consequences or benefits there may or may not be do not accrue to me nor does its cost me, and that includes financially, going to heaven or burning in hell.

No one is going to let anyone spread religion (including ideologies) "through the sword(by force) today". Some are of course boko haram, but see how they are being resisted there not to talk of in the land of the free and the brave.

Incidentally, just so you notice how I see this. I'd say it's the right who are trying to impose 'religion' (my womb, gender, etc), and I feel you see the left as imposing the 'religion' of "man that thinks he is a woman" (and I suppose, race).

[quote author=benalvino3 post=111202482]Madness

Men are two times stronger than women and also smarter than women. That's how nature has shaped reality but some fools always seem to be delusional sadly.

In this case the woman is smarter than the guy

, is the right word, for America, though, I'd gladly replace it with Liberal, which is in their DNA. It began as the right to practice religion, you see, as opposed to the illiberalism of Europe at the time that prohibited certain religions.

If one can practise a religion of a god made up by Joseph Smith, the thinking goes, why can't I make up my gender, and my sex, and my age, and my race, and my wealth ..... Etc.

Sometimes, societies travel down roads that lead to destruction and either know where it leads and turn back, or continue to its logical destination.

Think $30T in debt but the concern is a man who cuts off his dik to become a woman.

I am amused.

Sadly, some don't at all. If they ask you fox news or msnbc or cnn... You will choose msnbc or cnn over fox news. Anyone who do their own research will not choose msnbc or cnn.
Fox News lost its reputation as a news network during the last regime, I'm afraid. Even magas noticed their turnaround and left them in droves once they turned on orange man whom they'd spent 4 years waxing lyrical about. Once one knows it's owners, it's almost impossible to take them serious.

MSNBC I can't stand and never watch, though I did yesterday. I dropped something on my TV screen and it smashed, so I'm on my laptop. Found out they carry Sky News weather, another channel I just can't stand. CNN I watch sometimes because it gives an idea of American thinking. The adverts put me off because they literally assume you got more money than sense.

I used to read Breitbart sometimes and comments too, for the same reason - an idea of American thinking, America being split between the two, though I must confess I'm bored of them now since drumpthf left them with nothing to report but baseless conspiracies and opinion pieces to tell magas what to think.

My subscribed media is liberal. I do Guardian, NYT, Washington Post and the Economist, to name a few. And I'm a radio C-Span and BBC World Service junkie. Both help me sleep.

But books is it mostly, to understand historical perspectives. My current is about oil, or, Energy, to give it it's real name. It's interesting seeing how most conflicts since the beginning of the 20th Century revolve around oil and a tiny few number of men around the world, while most are focused on the theatre of politics.

Thankfully, America is not the world, and I love getting news and perspectives from elsewhere, hence RT, Al-Jazeera, CGTN of China, etc.

NTA before the news in the 70s, would declare that "100 million Nigerians watch NTA News. 100 Million Nigerians can't be wrong", and then they'd commence lying to Nigerians.

No serious person grows up in Nigeria trusting media. It's just unfortunate that most are primed to believe things and so can't help themselves, but some learn to do their own research and to separate the chaff from the wheat.

I've picked up a thing for Jodie Foster, or rather, re-picked, considering I first picked her up a long time ago.

My latest of her's was Mauritanian, where she played a lawyer defending a Guantanamobian. Before that was The Brave One, and before that, Flightplan.

Mauritanian is Foster against the establishment without the embellishments, which is probably why this could have gone under the radar, or rather, could have intentionally been put under the radar, or perhaps covid killed it, though it's storyline is unlikely to find an audience in America and therefore no where else they feed, covid or 9-11.

I'm thinking rewatch Nell next, but I'm open to Foster favourites.
