PoliticsSTINGY Peter Obi Got RICH From ABACHA Loot by Catapault(op):
STINGY MAN Peter Obi is attacking the govt for the size of the Nigerian delegation to the climate summit.

SAME WAY HE REFUSED TO PAY DOCTORS IN HIS STATE.

OBI IS ONLY HAPPY WHEN OBI ALONE IS EATING.

THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM DUBIOUS SOURCES IN HIS BANK ACCOUNT ARE NOT “WASTED FUNDS”.

BUT TAKE FROM THAT MONEY 100,000 naira AND SHARE TO OTHERS, AND IT BECOMES “WASTED FUNDS” TO PETER OBI.

USELESS, SELFISH IDIOT OF A PERSON.

I’M VERY SURE PEOPLE IN HIS OWN FAMILY ARE SUFFERING.

I KNOW HIS TYPE.

……..,,,


What I want to know is WHERE DID PETER OBI GET THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN HIS ACCOUNT FROM?

I know he worked for the greedy military dictator, General Sani Abacha, when others including Tinubu were fighting for civilian rule.

Is that where he got his money, and should he not be INVESTIGATED for his share of the ABACHA LOOT?

Today he is enjoying that loot with his FAT BANK ACCOUNT ROLLING IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, while screaming and crying over some people catching a flight to attend a summit.

The RANK HYPOCRISY of this man can make your head spin.

When he is chopping, it is not “wasted funds”.

When others dare to taste even a FRACTION of what he is enjoying in this world, it bites him like a scorpion, and he starts preaching “prudence”.

Everywhere must be “prudent” except his bank account.

Very evil person.

SMH.

YOU KNOW THE REAL PROBLEM WITH BLACK FOLK?

WHITE PEOPLE DON BRAINWASH YOU.

THAT IS WHY A THREAD LIKE THIS EVEN EXISTS.

The whole idea that not donning clothes make you ''uncivilized'' is a propaganda view that WHITE EUROPEANS living in a freezing environment, invented in order to force those they conquered to become ''more like them'', wearing clothes from head to toe.

BUT THERE IS NO BASIS FOR LINKING CLOTHES-WEARING TO CIVILIZATION.

Our ANCESTORS who built the great pyramids and temples of Egypt and Nubia, invented mathematics, writing, architecture, medicine, philosophy, law, and the sciences, did not dress head to toe in clothes:

There are many I can point out to you which have been funded for over twenty years consistently and never been touched. What is that if not black magic. That's why I asked how old you are. If the question offends you, please let me translate it to how long you have been following political economics in Nigeria. That's a better way to phrase it.

Dear friend, if you understand the ruthlessness of our corruption and its depth and scale, you would know that corruption has always been our biggest problem. If you like earn one trillion dollars, it will disappear in Nigeria, I guarantee you.

Reno shut up your mouth, our major problem in Nigeria is corruption, since you have failed to talk about it, let me remind you, because you have been creating so much nuisance of late on social media.

If we can reduce corruption by 40% in the country you will see meaningful development, 70% of our budget is stolen by politicians what do you expect the country to do with 30%.

Please go and look for a job because you are becoming a nuisance.
My friend will you shut up there.

Where and how did you calculate that 70% of the budget is stolen?

You people just come in here and type nonsense.

The most that is stolen is between 20 and 30 percent, if that.

Anything more than that and we would need international food aid and Red Cross plus UN here.

The NUMBER 1 problem of Nigeria is NOT corruption.

It is that we don’t earn enough as a country.

The oil money is a pittance for our huge population.

3. South Africa

4. Algeria

This is simply because Nigeria is collecting lesser taxes despite having bigger economy. And also unlike other countries, Nigeria runs a federal system of govt with components states having their own budgets.

PoliticsRe: People Should Stop Celebrating Empires, All Empires Are Evil! by Catapault: 7:02pm On Nov 29, 2023
joyandfaith:
Was there any empire that formed without violence? Why do you think cities were created? To build an army for defensive and offensive purposes.
I have not seen any empire.
What you decribed can be applied to kingdoms but not empires.
A kingdom is an empire. Just a smaller version.

If empires are not fine by you, then neither can kingdoms.
PoliticsRe: People Should Stop Celebrating Empires, All Empires Are Evil! by Catapault:
One more thing.

Empires emerged from large cities.

It all starts with a CITY.

Where a large concentration of people are drawn to a particular place, for whatever reason, be it water, soil fertility, trade, ANYTHING, a city eventually forms.

As that city grows, the leaders realise they need external resources to sustain the city. That’s when they develop an imperialist mindset, and seek control over more of the surrounding territory.

It wasn’t a hard sell to get local smaller villages and towns to want to join the new empire in the making.

Many actually craved to belong to them, and welcomed being part of it.

So it wasn’t all black and white as you see it.

Igbos did not form an empire simply because the conditions I described above which cause CITIES to arise, did not occur.

There was no great concentration of people in a particular location which drew people from far and wide, so as to form a city, that would have evolved into an empire. Access (or lack of it) to resources was evenly spread across the region, negating a need for agglomeration in a city. And no city, no empire.

All that talk about Igbo republicanism being the cause is inaccurate.

Cultures were dynamic, and could change when conditions dictated it.
PoliticsRe: People Should Stop Celebrating Empires, All Empires Are Evil! by Catapault: 6:02pm On Nov 29, 2023
gidgiddy:
Yes, the stealing of other people's lands, thats how all empires are created
This is not true, especially in Africa.

Many of these empires were formed slowly as large communities turned larger and acquired more territory by offering smaller neighbours military protection and other benefits of belonging to a centralised entity, such as public works, in return for their annual or quarterly tributes, what we would call taxes today.

Each of the regions had their representatives in the empire’s capital, and in their respective regions, and had AUTONOMY on how they chose to rule themselves, and over their resources.

Even when territory was acquired through invasions, these liberties were still granted the conquered territories.

They have tiny populations compared to Nigeria, so even if their annual budget is 5 billion dollars, it still covers them more than our 33 billion dollars covers us.

It's not about how much you budget but what you actually do with the money. Even if we're given 500billion dollars yearly, our extremly corrupt and wicked Apc political rulers and Allies will reloot the monies without any tangible results
SHUT UP. IT IS NOT TRUE.

If we had enough money coming in, you will see the effect.

Do you think there is no corruption in Saudi, UAE and co?

There is HEAVY corruption there, but the fact that they have a tiny population means that the govt can easily fix the country even with the corruption.

So having a lot of money coming in, will always negate the effects of corruption.

You notice corruption because we don’t have enough money coming in.

Nothing concerns corruption with this, there's corruption but they are constructing roads, they should have left the roads because there's corruption.

If they could do road with walkways, there's nothing stopping them from covering the drainages up. It might just be that it didn't cross their mind. It's just for the Governor to tell the contractor, this is what I want, they will implement it.

Hell Kaduna, Jos, even Enugu has some roads like that it's not rocket science......
The state govt gets away with it because the people know no better.

If the people demand and expect better, the govt will deliver.

For now, most people in Anambra don’t even know that a road MUST have sidewalks.

They think it’s natural for pedestrians to walk on the tarred road with an open gutter on the side.

Soludo KNOWS the right way to build it, having lived abroad for years, but he is corrupt and is also cutting corners with the contractor so they can all chop.

So you think those white people in Israel are the true Israelites of history?

How the hell can they be the ancient Israelites whom the bible described as black people?

Read the Bible, KJV

Lamentations 5:10

Zephaniah 3:10

Amos 9:7

Those white people in Israel are descended from 11th century CONVERTS to Judaism. They are ‘Jews’ by conversion to Judaism, NOT by blood.

They have absolutely nothing to do with the ancient Hebrews. That whole region known as the “middle east”, a name coined in 1901 by an English colonialist, was originally part of north east Africa in the ancient world.

In fact I have read studies that show that 5,000 years ago, the overwhelming majority of the African population lived in NORTH AFRICA.

Your remote ancestors lived there, and migrated from there millennia ago.

The ancient Egyptians who built the the great pyramids and temples were black Africans.

The Pharaohs were black people.

The Israelites always fled into Egypt to hide from their enemies, because the Egyptians were blacks just like them.

Your ancestors migrated a lot in ancient times to places all over the world, and were the world’s first people and it’s civilisers for many thousands of years.

So if Africans are telling you that they were the ancient Israelites, you need to listen.
