This is your supposed ramshackle economy.
Stop consuming MSMs
Lol

Kremlin pulled a reverse Robinhood and blocked people from selling Rubles (at least in millions). As a result, companies can’t sell (for stronger currencies), then Gazprom which is Russian majority state owned energy corporation buys up all foreign Rubles, price goes up, making the Ruble a monopoly money. The Ruble is restricted and regulated to the point where it is nearly impossible to trade for other currencies making its price whatever the Kremlin decides. Then again, you can’t compare the Ruble to other currencies e.g USD, EUR, GBP, because comparisons require open trade. My friend there’s no open trade between the Russian Ruble and these major currencies as a result of the inflicted financial sanctions on Russia.

At least I expect you to acknowledge the previous sentence as a fact, being a pro-Russian pleb of plebs that you are but if you don't, then....

that's for your ramshackle (chart) logic.

The Soviet Union disintegrated because they realised that they could not keep up with the west and now Putin has shown that his much vaunted rebirth as a superpower is built on the same ramshackle political and economic system. Russia always was and will be, a backward nation of peasants ruled by ruthless dictators. Politically he has left himself very little room for manoeuvre. If he can't deliver on his "special operation" (which has taken an eventful turn) how can he square that with his people? He is between a rock and a hard place, as the Ukrainians are not going to roll over. They are currently encircling Russian army in Lyman which the Russians contested in May, and they chasing the Russian armies away like stray dogs. Very soon Ukraine will be visiting the areas annexed by Putin's sham referenda and a few tactical nukes are not going to change any of that.

Haven't used a paper note in a long while. A coin just seem ridiculous! Will collect the fiver coin though if I lay hands on one for as long as it remains a legal tender.

abbey621:
So to be clear are you saying this is man made climate change or natural climate change? The problem we are having now is doomsayers not being able to differentiate between the former and the latter. Since 1851, hurricanes have been recorded in terms of strength and we have had several greater than Ian. Labor Day hurricane of 1935, Camille in 1969 and Hurricane Andrews in 1992 were far more devastating and all came through Florida, so what portion of blame goes towards man made climate change and what portion goes towards naturally occurring climate change?

No sir, hurricane is natural phenomenon just like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Note here that hurricane wind intensities are measured in categories depending on the speed it is travelling at, and numbered. The higher the number the higher the magnitude of devastation and catastrophe it can potentially cause, just like earthquake are measured in magnitude. Mind you, Svante Arrhenius predicted that changes in atmospheric CO2 levels could alter the surface temperature through the greenhouse effect in 1896. It was not until 1938 that another scientist actually connected CO2 increases in Earth's atmosphere to global warming, and global warming didn't become a national problem until 1988. So there are chances that the intensity of Labour day hurricane, Camille, hurricane Andrews and other subsequent hurricanes are reinforced (not caused) by climate change. Maybe increasing their categories as well, I don't know but climate change definitely contributes immensely to their intensities.

jojothaiv:
My question, how do they come about the names?

Hurricanes are given names by weather scientists and other governmental organisations around the world such as the World Meteorological Organisation so that they can keep track of them, communicate about them and so that the general public can use them as a reference point. Remember the infamous hurricane Katrina?

Michelle70:
i dont think this is about climate change.
Florida always experience hurricane

That's true but climate change acted as a catalyst that fuelled the intensity of the hurricane. The three major components crucial to the formation of a hurricane are light upper winds, warm water and moist warm air. Heat is the fuel that makes hurricanes big and powerful. The temperature of warming sea surface surely plays a role because they provide fuel for hurricanes, which also rely on a moist and unstable atmosphere, all of which are becoming more conducive for aggravation of hurricanes. As humans burn fossil fuels and release enormous amounts of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses, the amount of heat trapped on earth regularly rises. The air gets hotter then the ocean water gets hotter. When a baby hurricane forms in the Atlantic, all that heat is available to help the storm grow. That's the case for the hurricane in Florida. The storm was weak when it first formed but grew quickly as it moved over very hot water in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.

Iamdolodolo:
Couldn't dey generate revenue from it?

Generate revenue from illegal drug? You really are dolodolo

Why would NDLEA burn such evidence. Has the drug baron been arrested, investigated and found guilty before tampering with the evidence? If no arrest and subsequent prosecution has been made, then whatever they burnt is not cocaine. Besides, someone need to lecture these guys about climate change. Surely there must be other (ecologically friendly) ways of destroying "drugs" without burning, damaging an already fragile and vulnerable planet.

No sympathy whatsoever

Krismas:
To be very honest with u, u are a product of brain wash!
Ukraine from inception has been using its entire armed forces. Russia couldn’t use more than a fraction of its own cos she was not constitutional at war, it was just a military op. During the course of d war, Ukraine have had to CONSCRIPT as much as 700k more mostly civilians. Russia on the other hand, wants to broaden the conflict to respond properly to the menaces of NATO by calling up 300k reservists. Reservists incase u don’t know are military retirees. Wot other training do u need to give to an ex-soldier? As for arms, Russia lacks non. As for running away, that’s a very FALSE narrative.

Ok Sergey

Krismas:
Complete LIES! This is wot NL wants. Wack narratives abt the SPECIAL MILITARY OPS of Russia in Ukraine. By the time I start revealing the truth, NL will quickly ban my posts
Ukraine conscripts, far more than Russia. Even LGBTQs were not allowed to leave Ukraine. That is right, to misguided Zelensky’s bot on NL while Russia, merely attempting to call up reservists is a sign of defeat? Sorry, NATO is about to be put in their place. Putin has been warning them for six months, now they are finally abt to get bursted. That’s wots happening, not ur ridiculous assumption based on false narratives from western media to deceive people in d west

To point out the barely coherent sentences here in bold:

Ukraine conscripts, far more than Russia - Russia has 100 million more people than Ukraine, do the maths
Russia merely attempting to call up reservists is a sign of defeat? - What sign is it then? A sign that "Special Military Ops" is going well and as planned? Is that why ordinary Russians are fleeing the country? Try to put your brain to use. The 300,000 new recruits will be poorly trained, poorly armed, poorly kitted out and poorly motivated. If anything, the invasion of Ukraine has exposed how awful the whole Russian army is, and overall how rotten and corrupted their hierarchy is. ”You have been selected to die, please report to blah blah". This will be like squid game but without the price.

The myth of Putin being some sort of genius playing 4D chess in International Relations is so busted. This is a desperate grasping gangster who’s willing to burn his country to the ground in order to save himself. The man is a clown with a fragile ego who is obviously being deeply troubled by reality biting his fantasies. He thought this could be like another Chechnya or Abkhazia but Ukraine is the biggest country in Europe. He was totally deranged thinking he could go in an annex the country in a matter of days or weeks.

Ordinary Russians for the most part have tended to stay out of the corrupt machine that is their government. But that's at least 300,000 more people being dragged into this now. The country desperately needs an uprising despite arrests but if you are off to the front line (and likely to your death) anyway what is a little protest? Or rather an escape for dear life from a tyrannic regime of a soviet imperialist. The soviet union that has kissed the dust never to be united again.

Just seen this on twitter and I think it is absolutely ridiculous. With the Nigerian economy currently taking a nose dive at God-Knows miles per hour and people struggling to keep afloat. Why would a presidential candidate in their right mind think a strategic way to raise campaign fund is to force transport workers to pay #500 for campaign stickers that they don't want anyway. This is wrong on so many levels and as someone who has always been on the sideline when it comes to politics in Nigeria, I believe beyond reasonable doubt that if this kind of candidate gets the key to the No1 office of the country, then everyone in that country is doomed. No soothsayer needed to ascertain that.

rickleye:
This is what usually happens - At the end the waiter would say single bill or separate. I have gone out with my S.O and the waiter would always say one bill or separate. And if she/he brings a single bill instead of separate - they usually would reprint the bill. Something happened for the guy to change his mind.

Thank you

VULCAN:
Did the guy tell you that he asked the girl out?

Splitting the bill is a western custom.

If you have lived abroad you would understand.

It's ignorance to say the guy is broke because he paid only his bill.

The way you sound makes you appear a simp.

Is paying for a girls food an achievement?

Isn't that what all men in Naija have been doing even before you were born?

[/b]

I'll address the bolded:

1. Did the guy tell you that he asked the girl out? I did not say the guy asked the girl out. There's element of assumption in what I wrote.

2. Splitting the bill is a western custom. Yes that's what I'm accustomed to.

3. If you have lived abroad you would understand Same as above.

4. It's ignorance to say the guy is broke because he paid only his bill. I did not say the guy is broke. I used a word there "MOST LIKELY". Means its probable, not certain.

5. The way you sound makes you appear a simp. Yes every ragtag and bobtail throws the word "SIMP" around these days. Jesus!

6. Is paying for a girls food an achievement? No sir it's certainly not and I didn't mention or insinuate anything like that.

7. Isn't that what all men in Naija have been doing even before you were born? Erm. I'll have to confirm that with my uncles back home.

Exxxgeee:
D fvck bro... Y cant he charge his phone on a date? . What rule says he cant charge his phone on a date, like what d actual fvck

The same rule that says you can be an absolute incomprehensible dunce and still have a worried opinion over a very trivial matter.

phemy36:
What is wrong with you. It's your problem to for taking lady out for date. It's the oyinbo's problem to demand for bill splitting in a date. Please what is your concern. Why are you castigating him. Mind your business and continue to be paying bills because someone dress to kill. Let the oyinbo mand do what pleases him. It is his money, not yours

Who's this schnook? Can you read?

Different social/dating norms for different people. I assume women spend some money and time prior to the date (as a societal determinant) from the hairdo to the cloth, nails etc. while I'll only need to get a shower and put some clothes on. If I ask a girl on a date, I would be offering to pay the bill (If she dress and smell nice of course). But oyinbo in that video is most likely broke, the guy is even charging his phone on a date . Who does that

Dazzling crown decorated in mostly stolen stuffs from around the world - Kohinoor diamond from India, Cullinan I diamond from Africa, Elgin marbles from Greece, Rosetta Stone from Egypt. Others from Fiji, etc. None was bought, gifted or acquired in anyway legitimate. All looted, stolen.

Fascinating to know that this is similar to how the fundamentals of life's genetic code was brought to earth

I tracked the flight too, actually flew over my area. And before some bitter and unfortunate somebody says I'm jobless. I was actively tracking the flight while working....from home. So if anyone have something to say, relay your concern to my manager.

Not been to Nigeria in 11 years due to different reasons, first it was college and uni, finished with that but then security situation got worse. Friends and family back home are always telling me news about kidnapping, it's like they don't want me to come. On a different note, I use to know a lady who went back to Nigeria for two weeks or so and died in an accident there just few months ago. Mysteriously, she wasn't the only occupant in the car but she was the only person that died. Those are enough to make me sit my a$$ here until further notice.

I can imagine if that was actually, data company suppose give you royalty even YouTube suppose give you that their golden plague for viewer with the highest view contribution.

Data company? Mr Oga swerve

I don't understand why Picture Perfect in particular wasn't a hit. But then again the majority don't know good songs but all these pangolo and ijoba gbemi debe songs. Sounds pretty much like myself alone played the song 1.3 million times out of all the 1.4 million views the video garnered on Youtube.

mysticwarrior:
Gaboon viper is a hyperactive venomous snake, its very dangerous, vicious and deadly.

Gaboon vipers are really not hyperactive. On the contrary actually, they are very lethargic, rarely moves and slow even if they move. They are called "The snake you can't see" for a reason. They are really not a threat until you threaten them but they can strike at a lightening fast speed. Then that's the end of you if you don't seek immediate medical help. I don't condone killing any dangerous animal unless they invade your private space and perceived as a threat but you can very easily kill a gaboon viper without much effort, move too close and it can also very easily kill you without much effort.

Theresa May , Thatcher and now Liz out of how many... Minority vs Majority


The best in parliamentary politickinh won... Sentiment and Intrest are part of Politics


.

1. This is British politics of new age. Women are no more minorities.

2. There is nothing like Parliamentary politicking here. At the very early stage of the contest, Rishi was leading in the poll and gained the support of conservatives big whips, even though his moves was seen as a backstabbing act against Boris. His popularity started going down south when he boasted of moving money from deprived areas to fund a well-off area, which goes against the Tory's slogan of "Levelling up" Some MPs and Torys big whips stopped supporting him when they thought or believed his utterances about the Kent commuter belt project funding is against the "Levelling up" agenda (which Boris was heavily scrutinised for anyway) and will create distrusts among the general public (Bad market for the Tories) This is Britain, no matter how good of a candidate you are, say something wrong and that will spell doom for your leadership race. But the guy is bright, a lot lot smarter than Liz.

Minority race, yes but minority gender? Heard of Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May? And the best won really? Liz is better than Rishi Sunak? Seen the recent Yougov survey?
