This headline is misleading and irresponsibly done.

Her message is clear, and clearly to the rest of the world.

Do not escalate this. If you react harshly, the world economy would be in jeopardy.

She is actually urging the rest of the world to halt the escalating tariff war and behave responsibly by not retaliating, as retaliation could depress global trade.

She has not stated that “Trump's tariff war” is destroying the global economy.


Why is Okonjo deliberate in her word choice? It is because she knows nations have to be cautious and that her position as WTO DG is contingent upon Western nations ( esp the US) approval . Since Trump’s return, she has successfully maintained the fragile diplomatic balance- despite Trump’s disposition. Remember, Trump didn’t fancy her emergence. Don’t be naive to think Europe and the UK would deprioritize their relationships with the US to support her leadership, if Trump calls her out.

So if you are proud of her as a Nigerian, then you would agree that it is irresponsible to mischaracterize her position. Trump is combative. The US has significant influence on global trade. No need to add to her burden or cross by creating distraction that jeopardizes her illustrious career and undermine her efforts. You shouldn’t want so.

That said.

which is it? Will Trump’s tariff destroy the US economy or the economy of the other countries?

Someone suggested that businesses should find alternative trading partners. Perhaps Africa. African nations that are struggling with affording basic necessities, including HIV/AIDS medication. Perhaps China, but China would dictate their own terms. Alternatively, Europe could open its economy to China, and risk the potential for China's cheap products to flood their market and shut down their manufacturing.

Someone suggested that they should abandon the US dollar. And the global economy should cling to? Canadian dollars or Naira or yuan or Euro. Thinking the US currency is there by decree is no evidence of right minded thinking. You add the nominal GDP of Germany, UK, France, Italy and Canada… and see what % or fraction of the US’ GDP it amounts to.

For those thinking that the US should be abandoned. Read good books and seek contrast opinions. Not just consuming one-sided poorly baked news.

The news won’t tell you that the UK is very happy with the tariffs coz in the US they now enjoy a price advantage over similar European products, thanks to the lower 10% tariff, compared to Europe’s 20%. To them, it’s a win: of coz, they will not be over excited, but Europe knows they are behind and Trump is putting them in a place, where they are in dire vulnerability. The EU is already clamoring for unity in the union because they know internal disunity is inevitable, and the EU may just disintegrate - as nations go directly to make deals with Trump.

When they can’t trade with the US, UK grows stronger, and while they trade with each other, tariffs imposed by and against countries in the EU becomes inevitable because each nation has to protect its own economy.

it is just foolish to not look out for the interest of your country, or look out for how you can take advantage of what is handed to you. we must hate the leadership, isolate them... when other reasonable nations are on the queue, already cozying up, waiting to fill in that gap.

China has got cheap and high volume products to export - so Europe for now knows that the higher tariff for China benefits them. If the US leadership wants to diminish Europe’s influence, which I think is the intention of Trump, unless Europe properly acknowledges America’s leadership and adhere to America’s guidance… rather than seeking to dictate… Trump could reduce the tariff for China, and Europe would realize brutally, they are unable to compete.

Nations study and look out for their own interest. Let us pray that Tinubu is staying alert and looking out for Nigeria’s interest too in the global affairs and nationally.

Because the high and mighty men are above the effects it has on ordinary men.

Most of these men are controlled by their wives.

Nahunger:
Lol
The perpetrators claiming victims.

You dress half naked, eat mens money you know you won't settle down with, accuse men of rape, do feminism.

You have agencies and NGO like.
GBV
WRAPA
Ministry of women affairs
Girl child education
Women Right movements
Etc

Mention one single agency for men or boy child??

Any way, any man caught trampling on women or little girls should be crushed without pity, this I support, but hiding your wokeness and feminist ideologies under Women Rights that's pure evil..


Meanwhile,

It's only a Nigerian girl, you will see preparing for marriage and only has #5k in her account.

After small misunderstanding, she will ask you a question like.....

what have you ever done for me ❓

Making you feel like you used your money to sponsor a marriage between you and yourself 😂😂😂😂

Lagusta:
Hmmmmmmmm

This is a sad story indeed

Well, as a doctor, I have these points to drop

1. As a JW, he has the full right to reject anything blood, but he can still perform surgeries on his wife and allow blood substitutes like tothema

2. The so-called Gynecologist/obstetrician made some errors. Pre-labour rupture of membranes in a multigravid without any obvious sign of contraction, with an estimated birth weight of 3.9kg is a very clear indication of CS until proven otherwise. I am not a gynae bit I have entered theatre many times so I know this.

3. Never mess with medical personnel. Some of them DO know their onions. This anaesthetist nurse knows the fulk BLS protocol of resuscitation.

4. It's so painful that this young man lost both mother and baby on the same day. R-jolad should really scrutinize the kind of medical practitioners they employ. The bereaved should take the matter to MDCN disciplinary committee for further action.

5. May God comfort the bereaved. Ọmọ this one hit home

There was a young girl who had an argument with her parents.

She wanted to go to a party with her friends, but her parents, who were very protective of her, would not allow her to go.

The girl stormed off to her bedroom and slammed the door behind her.

Later that evening, she decided to sneak out of the house and go to the party without her parents’ knowledge.

The girl got dressed and then slipped out her bedroom window and walked quickly to her friend’s house.

At the party, the girl met a guy who was a few years older than her. They talked for a while and she found him very attractive.

He made her laugh. The guy was drinking heavily and, before long, he asked her if she would like to go to another party nearby. She happily accepted.

As they left the party and walked out to the car, the guy stumbled.

The girl noticed that he was very drunk and began to have second thoughts about getting into the car with him.

However, when she tried to say something about it, he just laughed and told her not to be so stupid.

Speeding down the highway, the boy put his arm around her shoulders.

He didn’t seem to be paying much attention to the road and his driving was reckless. She asked him to slow down, but he ignored her.

Suddenly, she was blinded by the flash of headlights. The guy had accidentally swerved into oncoming traffic.

She barely had a chance to scream before they crashed headlong into another car.

When the girl awoke, she found herself lying in a hospital bed. She was in tremendous pain and couldn’t move her arms or legs.

The nurse told her that she had been involved
in a head-on collision.

The girl asked if the guy who was driving the car had been seriously injured.

The nurse told her that he had been killed on impact. When the girl asked about the occupants of the other car, the nurse said that they had also died in the accident.

The young girl began crying. Her body was wracked by pain and her soul was torn by guilt. She knew that death was near.

Grasping the nurse by the hand, she begged the woman to give a message to her parents.

"Just tell them that I’m sorry,” whispered the girl. “I’m sorry for having disobeyed them and tell them I love them very much.

Can you make sure you give them that message?”

The nurse didn’t reply. She just bowed her head and held the girl’s hand. Within minutes, the girl was dead.

A doctor who had been nearby came over and asked the nurse why she hadn’t responded to the girl’s final wish. “I didn’t know what to say,” sighed the nurse. “I didn’t want to tell her that the two people who died in the other car were her parents.”

You are alive, therefore you are free to turn logic on its head and ask very irritating questions.

Victims of Nigeria's shambolic nationhood do not have such luxury. Most have gone to the great beyond.

Only nature and karma can give you a well deserved rebuttal for trying to justify the shooting of unarmed/harmless youths because your government felt they were constituting nuisance on their toll gate.

Next time your child create(s) a nuisance at home, shoot him dead. If you don't have a gun, use knife and send him to early grave.

Soulless human beings everywhere.

Am a 24 years medical student in my fourth year of the university I meet her when we where in our second year I never knew she was even in our class until our second year at first we where only saying hello to each other than some school stuff brought us together in our third year ever since we became close as friends and now I am realizing that I really like her and I want more than just being normal friends with her.

By the time you fail Pathology and Pharmacology, all those nonsense feelings would have deserted you... Before I open my eyes, reformat your brain to the status quo ante.... Nonsense and ingredients.

I feel it wouldn't be right because we are in the same department same level in school I keep on trying to let the feeling go but everyday I keep on seeing her and my feelings for her keep on increasing.

I really need advice on what to do I don't know what to do about the emotions I feel towards her.
