nairalandankrah: Mr Aboki Britain, Sorry to burst your bubble!! But there was no extant order of extradition by any British court that was officially processed to deport Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria.!! Lols! You think say this one nah sharia law? Abi to go copy and paste from Google?  I doubt a British Court has extradition authority in Kenya. I mean, did Kenya not get independence already? Kanu was likely illegally kidnapped in Kenya and Umaru Dikod back to Nigeria, the poor sod, but he here now, and his lawyers are incompetent if they think writing to Britain is the way to free him. I'd have gone to the Human Rights Court in the Hague myself, but what does your aboki know, eh? |

Politics › Re: Why The Nigerian Manufacturing Industry Of The 80's Crashed. by budaatum: 2:31am On Jul 02, 2021 |
LikeAking: The reason is simple, cheap goods from China. Cheap goods from China crashed manufacturing across the globe. Some people have been blaming the dead beat govt, but the honest truth is our importers flooded the market with cheap Chinese good.
These cheap Chinese good have helped many Nigerian buy certain commodities that were big deals back them.
Its obvious made in Nigeria goods are too expensive for Nigerian, so what ever product we are manufacturing in Nigeria should have the Nigerian price "Cheap" attached to it.
We have to make sure we are not over charging our people in the Name of manufacturing.
Please drop your own opinion. Sounds like you are saying cheap goods from China came to Nigeria on their own to come and crash Nigeria. No be we go de buy am? Still, if I am to remember correctly, it wss Made in Taiwan as far back as the 70s. And they were so crap that Made in Aba beat them often so no one wanted their crap, but today Taiwan fries the chips. If only Made in Aba had not died, is a case of what could have been.

johnydon22: Technically, this is wrong. God's omniscience is not a magical power to be used as a magical tool every now and then.
By definition, God is transcends the cosmos, this would mean God is beyond space and time. To be beyond space and time would mean from his vantage point, everything, past, present and future are happening at the same time, hence, the ability to know all potentiality: omniscience. So beyond space and time that God exists only in human minds. Hence, God is believed, not known. Kind of reminds me of 007, that does. Shaken, nor stirred. Transcends the cosmos my ass! In the first God built a house of mud. The second is, God moved into the mud house. The third is the vantage point. Transcend!

Police officers involved in the stopping, searching and handcuffing of the British sprinter Bianca Williams and her partner are now under investigation for gross misconduct over alleged racism and dishonesty, the Guardian has learned. Williams and Ricardo dos Santos were stopped on 4 July last year in north-west London by officers from the Metropolitan police’s Territorial Support Group. They were searched on suspicion of having drugs and weapons, with none found, while their three-month-old son was in the back seat. The investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct began into lower-level misconduct claims against five officers. But in an intensification of the proceedings, the formal investigation has now become more serious after new evidence was unearthed by investigators. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jul/01/met-officers-face-gross-misconduct-inquiry-over-bianca-williams-search |

Of course you will deny that, you expect other races to treat you with respect Where did you get that from, Bas? No, I do not expect anyone to treat me with respect. I demand to be treated respectfully, but if you can't treat me respectfully I can and will take my business and my ass where it would be treated respectfully. I have thankfully found that if I treat people respectfully and with the dignity that they deserve, I would be treated respectfully and with dignity that I deserve in return by most humans at least, and I can very easily avoid the very very few assholes. |

PrideofLincoln2: They do it with other politicians too but I used Tinubu because I knew of him when he was living in Chicago and he was close to my Dad, Mum and Uncle. Most politicians in Nigeria are like that. In a country where an average citizen earns less than $2 daily, what do you expect. I am not unfamiliar with what you describe, as you'd see in my posts below. Fact remains that the majority are not begging outside a politicians house but are out working at whatever they can get their hands on for their daily bread. budaatum: Even if I do not live in Nigeria, do you think my people back home would not make me feel it with the increase in their demand for money? Please don't make me have to cry to you about their demands, lol.
I was home during GEJ's time running my farm. If I asked them to come work for me at higher than the going rate, they refuse because if they went to stand outside the local government chairman's house he will give them 10 times what I will pay them. Hard working people were earning in a month what lazy fuqs were receiving in a day just for yelling rankadede! But where were these politicians getting the money from, nobody asked! From $150 a barrel of crude oil, of course. Money was so plenty that instead of hiring Joseph to advise them to save during the 7 years of plenty, my people were saying "a ti owo ẹni, a ti owo ẹni ẹlẹni, ki Ọlọrun ma fi kan wọn wọn” - their own money or another person's money, God give them either, with no care where it came from. Now, 7 years of scarcity has started, and you expect me to have sympathy?
Of course purchasing power has gone down, and all those things are happening! But how else would people who lived on rankadede survive when a barrel of crude oil is a third what it was and the person paying them the money has been arrested by EFCC? Do you seriously think we can be putting so much money in ghanamustgo and soakaways and not rue the rewards of our fraud, corruption and incompetence?
No, religion is not necessary. Proper understanding is, and of whatever our ideology is, and of our situation moreso. Unfortunately, we are not Mao's China nor Mahathir's Malaysia, and we are not going to be anytime soon until we understand how we ourselves are the devils who create the hell that we currently live in and decide to make it a heaven full of angels instead, with, as you say, "a new national consciousness". And yes, it begins by questioning so that we may gain understanding and demand better rule instead of selling our vote for ₦3500.
By the way, its for less that ₦1000 in my home town these days! Money don scarce! budaatum: I did not call you stupid, Br.ania.cX . I said "How supporting Atiku, a known crook who wishes to sell, or rather, own the golden goose is not stupid, defies reason in my book!" And it was in response to you claiming support for Buhari is a "peculiar kind of stupid". Neither do I believe Buhari can do no wrong.
Atiku is part of the party that ruled when a huge theft of what Nigeria owned occurred in the guise of privatisation. People claim Buhari is no better, but I disagree. When PDP ruled, it just so happened that it was a period when Nigeria enjoyed a boom with our main commodity selling for prices we have never before seen. But where did all that money go? I saw it being spent on the streets of my own home town with people receiving money from politicians just for yelling rankadede. I'd take people to my farm to work all day and pay them above the odds only for them to return home at the end of the day to find some jobless idiot has more in his pocket just for going around with politicians! When Buhari came in that stopped, and I'm glad it did. A nation can't progress when jobless people earn more than those who work.
Now, people would claim Buhari too is corrupt. Personally, I don't believe it, nor have I any reason to. To start with, Nigerians are not stupid. There's no way he can be stealing all by himself without sharing with others, which if he was would be seen by it being spent on the streets but it isn't. But even if he were stealing, he is not stealing as much as was stolen under Atiku and co. The fact that jobless people are starving is evidence that he most likely isn't.
Atiku was specifically responsible for privatisation, which I don't think has served us well. A lot of what was privatised is now moribund since the assets of the privatised companies were just stripped and abandoned. So why would I wish NNPC, the goose that lays the golden egg, privatised by him of all people? Do I need to have two brains to know that even if privatisation were a good thing, he is not the best to be in charge of it? Privatisation may be a good thing in the future. But UK, a forerunner of privatise, are currently ruing the fact they privatised with a lot of privatised institutions not doing so well. And I feel they were more transparent in how they went about it than we would be. Sorry, but I just don't feel now is the right time for it, and even if we were to go ahead with it, I'd rather Atiku not be involved.
Regardless, all the above is simply my opinion. In time, the facts would out, and if it turns out my bubu has been corrupt all along, do expect me to come on here and accept I was wrong and call for his head. I know and expect that you, for one, would not let me off without me eating humble pie. And that is at it should be. Please do not go easy on me. Where I stand is laid out in many threads to condemn me with if I turn out to be the stupid one. And since I sai bubu quite a lot you must not skimp on the size of the humble pie you shove down my deserving throat.
Now, regarding Trump. Personally, my gut tells me not to trust him. Take his wall. 30billion will not be enough to build a wall between Mexico and America so I don't think its a good idea for starts. The wall between East and West Germany is indicative of the silliness of such ideas. People go on about how well he's run the economy when the truth is that America is only just reaping the fruits of Obama's policies. And the way Trump is going, I expect that economic progress to stop. He goes on about climate change being false in an era when the evidence says otherwise. He's given tax cuts to the wealthy. He wants to scrap Obamacare that has favoured millions who beforehand had no care, and so on. We're already seeing the effect of his policies in companies like Apple, and farmers are moaning that there's no market for their soyabeans. The slump in sales blamed on tariffs by some will result in job losses in America and probably a recession, in my opinion.
But the facts, or rather, my facts, hardly matter, or at least they are countered by facts as seen by the other side. For I'm sure you have counter facts to whatever I have to say, which I'm certain you will claim are more valid than mine. And that's the beauty of democracy. On election day, we all go to vote, and the person who gets the most votes becomes President in Nigeria as well as in America. And calling each other stupid will have nothing whatsoever to do with it. And if either of us has a brain in our heads, we'd surely find out. |

So true!! Reading, especially. I used to ship books to the library in my local authority. The grown ups didn't really care, and wanted the money instead, but all the kids in the neighbourhood would turn up and help me clean the library, so teacher me would teach. One day, after lots of cleaning, this little girl, barely one year old, could not even talk yet, and use to come with her about 5 year old sister, stood behind me humming ABCD, EFGH. You know the rhyme? I sat there in tears of joy, for that was my first visible reward after ten years of shipping books to my local authority library.
