I can bet my last bag of garri that the Nigerian Olympic committee was given millions of dollars for out of competion testing of athletes and also they took money from federal goverment to do same testing but here comes the breaking news... That is despite all this money received no testing was done and money is gone... I will bet my last bag of Beans on this too.

I would not bet against you for fear I might lose.

The key requirement in Rule 15 is that an athlete from a ‘Category A’ country must undergo at least three no-notice out-of-competition tests (urine and blood) conducted no less than three weeks apart in the 10 months leading up to a major event.

This is Nigeria letting us citizens down by not conducting no-notice out-of-competition tests.

Shameful, after all the training done by the athletes.

google is your friend. Use it

We buried my dead neighbour a year ago. Yesterday she called saying she'd visit today and now she's just left without saying where she lives.

I guess Google is your friend too.

TRASHHHH! People were bamboozled, threatened, beaten, flogged, cars were destroyed, burned, shot at, all sorts of terrorist act were carried out on that day just to keep people indoors. Ask the people on the streets, they saw hell that day. Now you want to glorify that rubbish as a willing act. This is insult on humanity.

We do not believe you. Post evidence so we know please.

First map is Biafra on a map from 1770. The second shows how old maps can be inaccurate.

I think we are headed worse than Lebanon, being a nation that produces, or rather, sucks only crude oil from the ground.

Perhaps when we get there we'd stop blaming bubu that Nigerians elected, and blame us for not choosing a better leader, though bubu was a better optin than the alternative who would have made us Lebanon a lot sooner.

commot there, good leadership and strong institutions is what changes a nation for the better and not good individuals or self righteous idiots........self righteousness was what put buhari there.
a place where people in their 100s are murdered for cow sake and nothing happens to the murderers ur telling me I am irresponsible for blame leadership.....u well so?

Actually, it is intelligent citizens from whom the leaders are selected to create strong institutions that change a nation for the better, unless you expect strong institutions to drop from heaven.

zeuss:
Good read....na buhari people spoil everything.

It is this sort of irresponsibility that gives Nigerians a bad rep.

If we took responsibility for our actions perhaps we would be minded to behave better instead of claimimg bubu made us behave as cows.

It would be interesting to see whom we blame when bubu is no more.

This should be a lesson to indoctrinators. You may try to indoctrinate your child with what you wish it believes, but as it grows it would mature to use it's own brain and mind to seek understanding, and your indoctrination may lead it astray.

P.s. Op, Jesus is Lord and Mohammad is a Prophet and a book is just a book.

The smart thing to do.

Workers in Kwara confirm this please, that you are not paid "less than the national minimum wage of ₦30,000".

Thankfully, as SocialJustice informed me, and which I hope is true for this instance:

SocialJustice:
Dangote that only lists like 15% of his company publicly.

Citation required.

"For the Dangote refinery, we are not taking government money to buy it, which is the mistake that people are making. We are borrowing on the back of the cash-flow of this business. We know that this business is viable, it will work and it will return dividends. It has a cash-flow that is sustainable because refinery business, in the short term, will continue to be sustainable. That’s why banks have come forward to lend to us, so we can take equity in this.

“We are very proud that we did this. This is good for our shareholders, which includes all 200 Nigerians who will also be happily buying shares from this company if they had the opportunity. But now we have done on their behalf, so that ultimately the value will come to all of us.

“But there is no way you can watch a business of this magnitude, of this sensitivity, to run without the involvement of the national oil company. No country does this.”
https://www.channelstv.com/2021/06/29/why-nnpc-is-borrowing-to-acquire-20-percent-equity-in-dangote-refinery-mele-kyari/amp/

I'm certain Mr Mele Kyari meant 200 million Nigerians, but he should consider letting those who wish to buy shares in Dangote do so as private citizens, as government hand tends to soil private venture.

Mangekyo:
Going through secondary school, we were never thought history. Now I feel there's need for me to know about my history.

Pls does anyone know where I can download them? Maybe as pdf or even read online.

I want to read as far as before the Britons came, and also the world wars

Thanks :-P

Start with the following, then research further. And pay special attention to the above last sentence by Monogamy.

alBHAGDADI:
Deuteronomy 22:28-29 King James Version (KJV)
28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

As seen above, the man marries the girl because it was consensual sex which she fell for after his seductive games. But below is pure rape because he forced her, that's why he's ordered to be killed and the lady is not ordered to marry him.

alBHAGDADI:
Deuteronomy 22:25-26 King James Version (KJV)
But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.
But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:

cc lalasticlala

The difference in the two verses above is about whether the woman is betrothed or not, as in, whether they are pledged to a man or not. Is she isn't betrothed she is not raped, but if she is betrothed she is raped, which should make one consider that the crime is against the man she is bethroted to, and not the woman who was raped.

Thankfully, that was then and understanding has evolved. Jesus uped the standard for his followers and taught that mere [url=https://classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5%3A27%E2%80%9328&version=KJV]looking with lust was a sin[/url], and legally today, if you lay hold or force a damsel to lie with you without her consent, you are a rapist!

As to which Bible version to read, the doctrine of [url=https://classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+8%3A3&version=KJV]not living by only one book[/url], applies

VGSocial:
There was a low turnout of voters in some local government areas as many citizens claimed that they simply did not know elections were being held.

They sleep during elections then wail "bubu" who's cows never sleep.

You have not yet paid enough to get me drink.

History and Origin
The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) originated from West Africa, where evidence of its use as a staple food crop dates as far back as 5,000 years. There is even evidence in Egyptian tombs of people being buried with casks of palm oil, reflecting the high societal value attributed to the product. Needless to say, with origins in West Africa and evidence of consumption in Egypt, palm oil can be considered one of the earliest traded commodities.

While palm oil was ubiquitous in West Africa, the use of palm oil in the international market expanded significantly as a result of the British Industrial Revolution and the expansion of overseas trade. From candle-making to industrial lubricants, palm oil was a driving force behind the expansion of industrial production, while nutrient rich red palm oil became a vital asset on long sea-faring voyages. And it was a result of this increased demand that Europeans began investing in palm oil production, first in West Africa and then expanding to Southeast Asia.

Pity we did not use that oil to power our own industrial revolution being that we are all just "palm oil! groundnut!" with not much to show for it. Crude oil too but no petrol but blaming Fulani for the plight we are in instead of taking responsibility to fight for what we want.

Did bubu not call you lazy fuqs?

Tdotbluejays:
Yes they get paid. There are APC and PDP propaganda machinery in full effect on that section.
One of them is that barbecued vulture griller

I see you too buy into the lies. Have you got evidence of your above allegation, or is this just what you believe about those who support Buhari?

mocey:
lol..ole,you cant take such in a county like nigeria,you depend on only oil for goodness sakes,go and read about venezuela,una no day learn from others,nigeria would collapse if you take it,we are 200 million,biafrans alone 50million in nigeria alone

But I would not be taking it. You Nigerians would be slaving daily to pay it to me in recognition of my tenure over you. And I would not share any of it with you unlike Venezuela where they actual did, somewhat.

To keep up, Maduro has raised the minimum wage three times this year.

Guaido allies to pay selves $5K in Venezuela budget with $100 bonus for health care workers

Remember these jobs, though we all know are being kind of sort of reserved for some, are democratically for those who win elections, so perhaps we just need to beat them to 'deserve' what they pay themselves.

I know I for one wouldn't mind this as my pension and neither should you if some would pay it you.

Fahdiga:
So throwing people in jail is now an achievement. Hnnnm

No, it isn't, nor is that what is being proposed here.

"Right to a fair hearing, a cornerstone of which is that hearings must be held in public" so we the public can see justice done.

You'd appreciate it if and when Buhari stands before a judge.

And may we bless Nigeria too.
