How hard is to do a thorough due diligence on a matter of this importance if these folks are competent and serious...

It's crass incompetence in the least.

Everybody is quick to shout enemy action. Is it the enemy that also appointed all the NWC members by court order, including one of them for two different parties?

Abeg.

Kemetian:
SEE, THIS IS WHY THE WORLD LOOKS DOWN ON AFRICANS.

WHERE IS YOUR OWN RELIGION?

WHAT ARE THOSE AFRICAN MEN DOING IN SAUDI ARABIA?

DOES GOD LIVE IN SAUDI ARABIA BUT NOT NIGERIA OR AFRICA?

HOW SO??

HOW CAN YOU JUST ALLOW FOREIGNERS TO INVADE HERE AND FLOG YOU OUT OF YOUR ANCESTRAL RELIGION, SPIRITUALITY, AND PHILOSOPHIES, AND NEXT THING, YOU'RE FOLLOWING THEIR GODS AND TRAVELLING EN MASSE TO THEIR COUNTRIES ON 'PILGRIMAGE'?

WHERE IS YOUR OWN RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY THAT PREDATES ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY BY THOUSANDS OF YEARS?

WHY CAN'T YOU UPDATE AND REBRAND AND DISPLAY IT PROUDLY TO THE WORLD?


THE CHINESE, JAPANESE, INDIANS, ALL PRACTICE THEIR TRADITIONAL RELIGION, SUITABLY UPDATED FOR THE MODERN ERA. BUDDHISM. SHINTOISM, HINDUISM, TAOISM.

YOU WILL NEVER FIND THEM LOOKING FOR GOD IN ARABIA OR ROME.

ONLY YOU PEOPLE.

WHEN WILL YOU WAKE UP?

YOU'RE JUST A DISGRACE.

FOLLOW FOLLOW. NO DIGNITY. NO SHAME.

TUFIA!
And what is that "your own religion"?
Depending on the literature you read or who you listen to about evolution of religions, all religions are evolved from a single source. The evolved versions are merely progressive, gradual and cumulative corruption of the original natural source.
The Arabs that you insinuate exported a particular religion actually had more evolved, corrupted versions than Africans in fact, at certain points in history. The fact that a man who only happened to be arab retraced and invited people back to the original natural source does not equate subjugation or slaving to an Arab religious export...

It's like the way marriage and parenting has been progressively corrupted from the true and effective ways of old... If you Kemetian retraces and invites people back to that old original parenting that is true to nature and reasonable people are convinced and adopt your teaching and advocacy, does that make us better or makes us your slaves or your tribe's slaves?

Same example can be given about what we eat and the way we eat. Are all these strange things we eat now not evolved from an original pristine source, before the corruption of refinement?
Look at what we now eat of junks and all. Would a man who retraces and advocates a return to the pristine foods and natural eating be guilty of inventing a new thing, or those who listen to him be accused of abandoning familiar, inherited eating habits?

Or even the way we relate with the environment and the climate, that has deviated from the natural way and has ended up severely corrupting/polluting the environment and our earth. Reverting to the old green way of relating with the environment will not make us slaves of the proponents, but rather it makes us a better people.

It's same with religion. There's one pristine, original, natural religion, and it neither Arab not Caucasian nor African, just like the environment or good food or good manners is not African or Arab or Caucasian. All other religions are mere evolved and corrupted versions of that pristine original.

This is very instructive.

"THE PHONES NO LONGER RING”

-Yusuf Buhari, son of Late Nigeria’s President explains what life has become after he left the corridors of Power

“After Goodluck Jonathan made that call to my dad to congratulate him on his victory as Nigeria’s next President.

I used to receive up to 2,000 calls a day from different people. The calls would start coming in as early as 4 a.m. — from old classmates, acquaintances, extended family relatives, former maids, and servants who had once worked for the Buhari family at some point.

There were also callers with bogus, untraceable explanations, but my assistant would simply come up with polite excuses to end those conversations quickly!

But the moment my dad left power and handed the baton to His Excellency Bola Tinubu, the calls dropped dramatically to about 100 a day.

After my dad was buried, they reduced even further to around 20 daily — usually just from siblings and business associates.

The phones no longer ring. Nobody truly cares…”

PoliticsRe: 15 Years Old Kano Christian Girl Abducted, Forcefully Converted To Islam by cola:
How do these things make sense to people that say these things and those that believe them?
How do you force someone or a people to convert to a religion?

Can you force someone to love you?
Can you force conviction on someone?
Can you force someone to be happy?
Can you compel or force abstract things?

Religion is conviction and it is abstract in its essence.

If you hold somebody's hands, smile at them and greet them by force, does it mean you love that person?

What does it say about the IQ if you do, say or believe these things?
PoliticsRe: 2027: 70% Rivers Support For Tinubu Already Secured — Fubara by cola: 8:22pm On Dec 18, 2025
A large part of the Nigerian media outfits is a mess.
I don't care much what this man or any of them do or say, really, but I happened to stumble on the telecast of that event, and I can tell you that the governor did not say what this writer and his newspaper are reporting.

The governor said he visited the NEC of the party and they requested that he mobilize for the president. He said he believed that with the kind of support he sees from the people of Ogbakiri and Emuhoia LG, the work is 70% done.
How does the work being 70% done translate to 70% Rivers vote?

surgical:
How did this happen and in what sector,was it the subsidy that was holding down the non oil sector before
These guys are always looking for anything to justify the subsidy removal mistake
It's bad/incompetent journalism.
It's probably what happens when you move a reporter on the sports beat to go and report or write on the economy.

It's the forex regime reforms that most likely account for the rise in non-oil exports and balance of payment surplus, much more than subsidy removal.

And you are still borrowing in billion dollars from every available financial intuitions
Oh, come on! Get an education!
Economy is recovering or more fund available now means everything should be paid for out of pocket?

If you had some financial education, you'd know that even if you earn a stable 10 million naira monthly , and you are are able to get free financing for a car or a house, you'd betray your education not to take the financing...

Would you rather save for many years without spending your 10 million on recurrent needs (children fees, feeding, health needs) because you want to pay for a 250 million naira house out of pocket, or you would rather get financing that gives you benefit of owning and using the house immediately while repaying the loan over several years...

It's even especially so for a business or a government...It's called a leverage...It ensures your cash flow...and cash flow is king!

It's written all over this interview: Baba is not very happy with the coalition. This is probably because he knows he'd be relegated in the scheme of things...Guy can't be running mate anymore.
I suspect he'd be shown his place.

Mr. Obi would also become unhappy with the coalition as soon as he becomes (very likely) relegated in the fullness of time.

This man made very valid points anyways. You'd be emotional, not to say deluded, not to agree with him.

Foreign AffairsRe: Thoughts On Israel, Palestine, & Gaza by cola:
Hopefully, sometime in the future, some blacks from Haiti, Cuba, Guyana, America, etc find the support of some superpower to establish a state for themselves in their 'original' land in Africa. The superpower will do anything to see them migrate because it is 'tired of their drugs and crimes '.

Hopefully they choose fertile areas of Ondo, Edo, Delta, Anambra and Abia and push the current inhabitants to bakassi or somewhere by power of force... bulldozing your homes and taking your lands and waters. The supporting superpower would do anything to ensure the new 'black nation' stands, because if it doesn't stand, the 'balcks' would be coming back with their 'drugs and crimes'.

Hopefully some people in other parts of the world label you terrorists for resisting people coming back to their roots, and who knows, they might also find some old scriptural text to justify your expulsion and killing...
ProgrammingRe: React + Css Vs React + Tailwindcss Which Do You Prefer?? by cola: 11:57am On Sep 24, 2023
Not necessarily. smiley
The op asked about styling (CSS).
Most of the tools I mentioned are CSS frameworks, not necessarily component based libraries.

Yes, if the topic is how I would write CSS in a react project, then I could write with vanilla CSS, or TailwindCSS, or bootstrap or bulma, etc. So if the discussion is limited to vanilla or TailwindCSS, beginners could go away with the impression that these are the limited possibilities.

My take.
ProgrammingRe: React + Css Vs React + Tailwindcss Which Do You Prefer?? by cola: 7:27am On Sep 24, 2023
This makes it seem as if Tailwind is the only option with React besides vanilla CSS. Folks that know how can build fantastic UI's with Chakra, material UI, even bootstrap.
Yes, Tailwind is hugely popular and makes sense, but this type of limiting question could give beginners a wrong impression.
