joyandfaith: It is just like saying because indigenous yorubas in port novo are being persecuted by Benin republic government, Nigeria should invade the country. There are indigenous Germans in Austria and Hungary. It would not be right if Germany is meddiling in affairs of those countries. If you understand how eastern Ukraine and crimea were russified during empire and Soviet era, you would realize that Russians are occupiers historically.
I second your analogy here, but regarding Russians being occupiers historically, so is the West; California and Texas was Mexico's before it was ceded to America, so was the case for Alaska, albeit under different circumstance was originally Russia's before it was acquired by America.
ArchiLimited: Ok. Meanwhile who else noticed that since this war began, we've miraculously not seen any new omicron variant and all new covid wave has miraculously stopped, something that occurred nearly every week before. So I guess the diseases are also following the war like us. You see this world, only those who are intelligent will understand the way this world works
Then you've not been keeping up. Have you heard about the newly discovered hybrid variant Deltacron? Do you know that China is currently experiencing its worst Covid-19 outbreak since the start of the pandemic more than two years ago? The war can very much alter the trajectory of the world's future and deserves more exposure at this moment and rightly so, takes precedence over other issues in the backdrop. It doesn't mean Covid-19 has dissapeared.
Cigarette when I was about 6 or 7 or so. I was just a curious kid and wanted to find out what adults derive from smoking it. I took the first drag when I heard my mum's footstep. I quickly put it out and threw it away. She walked in and asked after about 2 minutes if someone has been smoking around there. I said I've not seen anyone with cigarette but I was shaking. If she had her investigative hat on, she would've easily caught me out by my demeanour.
Condoms in my mid-teens. Mum again, she was cleaning my room when she found them where I carelessly left them. She asked what they were, I blurted out "They're from INEC". I don't know where INEC came from, it was just pure gibberish. She looked so confused and repeated the word "INEC" about thrice, I was confused too and hurriedly walked out of the room. I avoided her throughout that day, I think I was ashamed more than anything. Then I received a good, constructive lecture the second day which surprised me cuz I thought I was gonna be scolded.
Righteousness2: Events of the Great Tribulation is casting its Shadows Massively on the Earth.
We are seeing Plagues, Earthquakes, Pestilences, Famines, Wars, Deaths, I[b]nsane weather Patterns[/b], Hailstones , Volcanoes, Floods, Asteroids,etc.
Ladies and Gentlemen, go and read the HolyBible book of Revelation. These are the events that will rock this world in FULL FORCE once the Bride of Christ is taken away.
Folks!Let us Humble ourselves and seek the Face of GOD Let us Cry to GOD in Repentance and Surrender to JESUS Christ as our Lord and Savior.
What is Coming on this earth is Unbearable, Unbelievable and terrifying! Run for your Life! Run to JESUS Christ! HE is the ONLY way of Escape.
Asteroids - Asteroids has been hitting earth since time immemorial. Rich geological evidences ascertained that an asteroid roughly 6 miles wide wiped out 75% of every living species including mammals bigger than a rat which later saw the emergence of new species, one of which you evolved from. This asteroid will not be the last that will hit our world. Not an event of great tribulation but a natural phenomenon
War - War shaped the world we live in today, first war on record was roughly 3500-1000 BC. Conflicts around the world right now is not the first and will not be the last. Not an event of great tribulation.
Hailstones - Really? Hailstones forms when thunderstorm updrafts carries raindrops upward into the portion of the cloud layers which is at freezing temperature. Not an event of great tribulation but a natural phenomenon.
Insane Weather pattern - Our world's climate has changed throughout history. 650,000 years ago there has been about 6 or 7 cycles glacier advances and retreats, obviously having impacts on sea levels. Ice age ended almost 12,000 years ago, marking the beginning of human civilisation and of the climate we have today. Not an event of great tribulation, well it will be if we don't act soon to reverse the man made damage we're inflicting on our ecosystem.
Volcanoes - Volcanoes eruption also predates human and human intelligence. Etna in Italy is said to be the oldest of almost 3000 volcanoes we have on earth. Both active and inactive. Not an event of great tribulation but a natural phenomenon.
Flood - Flood occurs due to several reasons, chief in those being climate change. Not an event of great tribulation but a natural phenomenon.
Christianity does not forbid knowledge. The bible shouldn't be the only book you read.
playapayaski: Enough of this Russia news na Lot of things going on Nigeria, in your state, your f...ing LGA, and we are here occupied with Russia n Ukraine, countries that don't give a f about Africa let alone Nigeria. Everywhere I turn, it's Russia this n that.. sad
Useless people making nukes n deadly weapons flexing their egos, to use them weapons on who exactly? Lions or fishes? HUMANS smh
Russia exports approximately 5 million barrels of oil a day, making them the 2nd largest oil exporter in the world. The world economy is currently bracing for a very serious disruption to Russia’s supply. Oil price is already over $100/barrel. The surge will have a knock on effect on food prices and every other commodities because what? inflation will flare up and the inflation will be shared accordingly from top to bottom (end consumer) of the chain. Unless alternatives is found as soon as possible to cushion this effects, an opportunity for Nigeria and other African oil producing countries like Angola to step up and strike oil deals.
You’re not feeling it yet but boy will you feel it? Then you will probably understand why everyone is shouting Russia this, Ukraine that, unless you abstain from anything imported into Nigeria.
So, my 7 year old child recently had his British passport mailed to him in Nigeria. He now has a flight to UK coming up.
My question is, will he be allowed to board as he doesn't possess a Nigerian passport? Please, note that I paid the airline for chaperone service. I would really appreciate answers from immigration guys or frequent travellers.
Thanks all.
He necessarily don't have to hold a Nigerian passport to travel out of Nigeria, as long as the passport is legit and his end destination is the country which he also hold a citizenship of. But travelling back to Nigeria obviously will require either a Nigerian visa stamped on his UK passport or you get him a Nigerian passport for that purpose.
My advise would be to get the Nigerian passport before he leaves the country because getting a Nigerian passport in London is a whole different kind of sport, especially if like me, you live outside London.
MangekyoAlt: You don't like russians because they oppress sovereign nations? I challenge you to go and start reading the history of USA. I almost guarantee you that you will start liking the russians, as do I. Because like you, I used to be brainwashed into thinking the russians are the bad guys.
The USA did much, much worse than Russia is currently doing. The western media's tries to cover all of it and I'll tell you they actually succeeded. But then, if you go deep, you will definitely see books or even articles that explain their brutal history.
Anyway, since you claim russia doesn't respect other countries sovereignty. Let me give you a few examples of when USA attempted and did far worse of what Russia is currently doing with Ukraine. USA even killed their own citizens to make it seem like it is other "sovereign" countries that did it, to justify invasion.
in 1898, for instance, the US exploded USS Maine in Havana killing 266 American mariners to blame and declaring war on Spain.
Please I advice you to Google operation north woods. Operation Northwoods was a proposed false flag operation against American citizens that originated within the US Department of Defense of the United States government in 1962. The proposals called for the CIA operatives to both stage and actually commit acts of terrorism against American military and civilian targets , blaming them on the Cuban government, and using it to justify a war against Cuba. Ukraine...sound familiar??
Now you see that Cuba that I mentioned? That country Don see hell fire for USA hand. I'm willing to write about the suffering that was meted upon them by USA, but I'll leave that for another day. Let me talk about NATO, USA, RUSSIA & UKRAINE.
So many of you nairalanders actually think Russia is the aggressor and the cause of the current tension. Well that is false! NATO and the USA are both the problem. Here do you know why? Well, the West been led by the USA had been expanding its DS Military infrastructure footprint throughout Europe; deploying NATO nuclear missiles, U.S. missile defense systems and special forces along Russia’s doorstep. Putin hasn’t been toppling governments in Eastern Europe, installing proxies, or deploying Russian missiles and Soviet defense systems. As you nairalanders make it seem. It’s been the West, moving East. Since the end of the Cold War, the West has been systematically cutting Russia off from the rest of the world, using NATO.
What’s happening in Ukraine today is the same thing that happened in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. please go and read about the Cuban missile crisis if you can. America put nuclear missiles in Italy and Turkey. The Soviet Union ‘RESPONDED’ by putting missiles in the Caribbean (via submarines) and Cuba. America learned about the Soviet missiles in the Caribbean and Cuba and freaked out bc of the extremely close proximity of the Soviets’ military infrastructure. With Soviet missiles that close, America would not have sufficient time to analyze, evaluate and respond to a potential threat. America went nuts, demanded the Soviets immediately remove the missiles. The Soviets had made the same complaints and demands about America’s nuclear missiles in Italy and Turkey. The United States said those missiles were defensive. After the Soviets responded in kind putting the same in the Caribbean and Cuba, America said the missiles were an aggressive threat. The Cuban Missile Crisis had begun. The Soviets were not the aggressors, they were the respondent. The United States wasn’t having it and began plans to invade Cuba, put 100,000 plus troops on Florida beaches, set up an illegal Naval blockade in the Caribbean blocking all ships from reaching Cuba and the United States, flew Spy Planes over Cuba (which got shot down, killing Air Force Pilot Rudolph Anderson). The U.S. also attacked Soviet submarines which were lawfully patrolling in international water and hadn’t fired on anyone. Pretty hypocritical, right? The Soviets were simply responding in kind, and refused to back down. In the end, in order to avoid nuclear war, America agreed to remove its nuclear missiles from Italy and Turkey, and thereafter the Soviets agreed to remove its missiles from Cuba, restoring the status quo and balance of power to the position the parties were in before America dramatically expanded its military footprint. Today, we see the EXACT SAME scenario happening. The West has been building up its NATO footprint, putting NATO weapons, nuclear missiles, missile defense systems and special forces in former Soviet states. Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan we’re a step too far for Putin inasmuch as this is literally on the doorstep of Russia. Putin has amassed his extraordinary military machinery and has told the world that NATO missiles are NOT going into Ukraine. Putin has also demanded the West remove its missiles from the former Soviet states surrounding Russia. Sound familiar! Putin will win this battle, NATO and the rest of the world will agree to restore the status quo and remove NATO missiles. If the Biden / NATO missiles currently on their way actually enter Ukraine, you will see Putin respond with the use of his vast military.
There's nothing like 'gateman' in America. Americans don't have "gatemen". Home security technologies and devices are way too advanced. Hello this is 2022
Ok let's get this straight. A souvenir is usually a thing, an object that is kept as a reminder of a place or event. A chicken cannot be a souvenir, its bones can though.
Says a lot about the psychological make up of an average Nigerian youth. How about a reward, support or encouragement for someone showcasing their innovative ideas or problem solving skills rather than an artist he probably knew directly or indirectly. Ok you asked the artist to DM you, you send a milli or two to his account, that's all. How will the people in Kogi state or Nigeria at large benefit from that? Nigerians and their amala and ewedu way of thinking sha. Nice drawing anyway.
Danisaint112: The snake looks like a Black Mamba; One of the most deadliest snake in the world, Kills in less than a minute no matter how strong your are, One of the fastest in the world, And mostly Above six feet tall for an adult male.
Lucky set of students.
This is a spitting cobra. A black mamba is actually greyish in colour. It is called a "black" mamba because of its inky black mouth.
Just for your information, this snake could easily blind all the guys who killed it by spitting in their eyes from a few feet away and with absolute precision. A cornered, nervous and agitated cobra (just like a mamba) will not think twice before delivering deadly bites at rapid rate. Lack of quick medical attention means you will bleed internally to death due to blood clots.
flokii: While it looks like blessing to put in all your life savings to acquire Visa, work permit etc. and migrate to obodo oyinbo.. when you get there, the oyinbo people will see you as disturbance and uninvited guest, you won't have friends or people to bond with, loneliness, boredom and feeling of regret would then creep in. It's only married ones with kids that tend to feel loved, not the singles.
If we had good leaders in Africa in general, who would want to run abroad and live in deep freezer? you sef reason am na. As a guy, your penls will start to shrink like it's no man's business out of cold and sickness.
1. Here in the UK, the average oyinbo man don't give a sh1t about you. You're just another person to them. It will interest you to know that you'll rarely see a white person who will be openly racist towards you.
2. There are large communities of Nigerians/Africans here wherever you live. Either London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, name it. You will only have issues making friends if your communication skill sucks.
The Niger Delta militants that I read about are not the type that will pre inform before striking. Needless to say that the ones that are capable of carrying out atrocities of this magnitude are on amnesty, so which "Niger Delta militants are these ones? Believe this video at your own risk
