The US and the UK did bad things but also did a lot of good things as well.600 thousand Americans died in the American civil war to eradicate slavery and Britain brought civilization to dark places at huge sacrificial cost.When you are defrauding people,you are only doing bad things and the victims would not wish you well.

It is wrong and irritating that you say "at huge sacrificial cost." You thereby garb an exploitative and extractive program as a sacrifice.

I don't agree with the other poster codemaniacs that they did nothing good - they did. But it is extremely wrong for you to attempt to make their actions appear altruistic by using the word "sacrifice."

Secondly I personally do not award marks for abolishing a slave trade that they instituted themselves and grew fabulously wealthy from for over three hundred years.

I hope you are aware that when the slave trade was abolished they paid compensation to the slave owners and not to the slaves and that compensation was so huge that Britain only finished paying it in 2015.

There are many many more dark things to be said about colonialism, imperialism and neo colonialism because these imperialists have not stopped exploiting Africa in extremely dark ways including instigating wars, murders and instability to suit their interest as well as deliberately foistering poverty.

None of the above means I see any justification for the fraud that Yahoo represents as some people tend to think.

PulaPower:
How can you think such..

From Abj to PH to Delta everywhere..

It’s all over the country... I think what makes this yahoo now easy for these boys is that they can get access to internet easily..

But not in the North

If you read it again, you would not be asking "When was it manned". Congratulations on reading Animal farm achievement. i actually read it decades ago and didn't remember vivid details. How it's so central in your life is amusing. It's read in primary school, which one is beyond knowledge there? What is beyond knowledge of persin wey dey read Bible? Lolz.

Can you tell me what Animal Farm was a parody about, without using Google?

I am sure you can't.

It was about Soviet Russia.

It's not a children's book.

It's a very deep political satire only written in the form of a beast fairy tale.

It addresses some of the deepest dystopian problems of society till today.

Jerry Springer I watched as far back as 2002/2003....I doubt that show is real, you just brought some old memories when Obi was a boy lolz

It was real but also staged and choreographed for effect.

Point is, if you see useless white people, you will not think it's "always blacks."

I just used Jerry as an example by the way. They are all over the place in real life.

franchasng:
Hahahahaha wahala
Why must she be a black woman, why always blacks, and the not so beautiful ones, why why why?

Have you ever watched Jerry Springer?
You dont know anything about White Trash.

Image123:
Read my post again Squealer.

Nah. I read it well enough Boxer.

And you have no right to attempt to pretend you have read Animal Farm.

Otherwise you would use the character "Squealer" in the right context.

Don't embarrass yourself by trying to reach beyond your knowledge.

Beware as always, of the knackers.

APOPTOSIS:
Do they ever critically think?
Have you ever spotted a Female philosopher?

-----------------

Here are some of the most prominent female philosophers, spanning different eras and areas of thought:

Ancient and Medieval

Hypatia of Alexandria (c. 370–415 CE): A Greek Neoplatonist philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician. She was the head of the Neoplatonist school in Alexandria and was known for her brilliant public lectures.

Hildegard of Bingen (1098–1179): A German Benedictine abbess, mystic, composer, and polymath. Her philosophical and theological works include writings on natural history and medicine.

Christine de Pizan (1364–c. 1430): A French writer and proto-feminist philosopher. Her works, such as The Book of the City of Ladies, challenged misogynistic views and advocated for women's education and their capacity for reason.

Early Modern and Enlightenment

Anne Conway (1631–1679): An English philosopher associated with the Cambridge Platonists. She developed a complex metaphysical system that influenced Gottfried Leibniz.

Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797): An English writer and philosopher widely regarded as a founding figure of feminist philosophy. Her most famous work, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, argues that women are not naturally inferior to men but are made to seem so through a lack of education.

Émilie du Châtelet (1706–1749): A French mathematician, physicist, and author during the Age of Enlightenment. She translated Isaac Newton's Principia Mathematica into French and added her own critical commentary, which was instrumental in the dissemination of Newtonian physics in Europe.

20th Century and Contemporary

Hannah Arendt (1906–1975): A German-American political theorist and philosopher. She is best known for her writings on totalitarianism, power, evil, and the nature of political action.

Simone de Beauvoir (1908–1986): A French existentialist philosopher, writer, and feminist. Her book The Second Sex is a foundational text of second-wave feminism, which explored the social construction of gender and female oppression.

G. E. M. Anscombe (1919–2001): An influential British analytic philosopher and student of Ludwig Wittgenstein. Her work revived virtue ethics and made significant contributions to the philosophy of mind and action.

Philippa Foot (1920–2010): A British philosopher who was a key figure in the revival of virtue ethics. She is also famous for introducing the "Trolley Problem," a thought experiment in ethics that continues to be a central topic of debate.

Iris Murdoch (1919–1999): A British and Irish novelist and philosopher. Her philosophical work often focused on morality and ethics, blending existentialist and Platonic ideas.

Judith Butler (b. 1956): An American philosopher and gender theorist known for their work on gender performativity and queer theory. Their ideas on gender as a social construct have been highly influential in feminist and LGBTQ+ studies.

Martha Nussbaum (b. 1947): An American philosopher known for her work in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, political philosophy, ethics, and animal rights. She is a leading figure in the "capabilities approach" to human development.

Just imagine what a supposed living thing is writing
So others who set up their booth are not there for all those as well?

It beggars belief.
Aside from knowing that these ones are paid, one has to reflect on the quality of people they pay to do this work for them. I am sure there are bright young people out there that could make posts that would at least seem intellectual or remotely sensible.

Rather what we see is a bunch of ill-schooled teenagers who pretty much say nothing more than "and so what" as their argument all the time.

Image123:
To be fair, you could have put pictures of the manned Nigerian booth too.

Chai.

When was it manned.

Boxer, you will not notice that it hadn't even been fitted as others had been, not to talk about manned.

Chai. I am sorry for you.

Commentor:
What are people complaining about?

xxxxxxxxxxx

Chai.

traware:
Tinubu could fart like every other human and they'll still complain.I don't even like him neither do I like his political party but I believe many people in Nigeria suffer from "Tinubu Derangement Syndrome"

It is people like you who make this country a place very unlikely to develop any time soon.

RandDigital:
Following the controversy over Nigeria's undecorated and unmanned booth at Ticad9 in Japan, here's a look at a few of the other African booths at the conference.

There we go. So it's not just that our booth was unmanned. It wasn't even fitted out AT ALL.

Jakumo:
It is reassuring to hear from a lawyer that this new law will still be subject to close scrutiny and possible amendment before its final version enters the lawbooks.

I said "must be" in the sense that that is what must happen in order for us to safeguard our freedoms. The sad reality is that already, such similar provisions of law have been weaponized to harrass, arrest and intimidate opposite voices.

This abominable and frightening pattern must be fiercely contested and struck down. However I must add that the courts are so cowed today, especially under the present dictatorship, that hope for that also wanes.

When you note that the Supreme Court was terrified of hearing a critical case on the illegal removal/ suspension of an entire elected government of a state - then you know that there is much to worry about.

All patriots however, must stand up and resist this attempt to transform this vibrant country into North Korea.

Kukutente23:
All these audio reduction
When will it drop to N400
Imagine taking fuel from less than N200 to almost N900 in two years "
If you're not Pharaoh what are you?

He first took it to over 600 within an hour of inauguration.

This represented an over two hundred percent hike in one day.

I researched - that was a first in history for any country in the world.

He then actually took it to over N1000 a little over a year later immediately after the EndBadGovernance Protests.

Not Pharaoh - only Satan himself does that.

dalass:
You do remember that Buhari made provision for fuel subsidy only up to the time he would have left office? He left the evil of subsidy removal to his successor... The money for subsidy was borrowed and many oil marketers kept collecting money for fuel imports they didn't make. Hopefully Russia will end its war, Iran or any other oil producing nations will not be involved in wars. This is what makes crude oil skyrocket and increase in pump price.

At least we have left the era of importing refined fuel.. thank God!

What rock are you living under? Who told you we have stopped importing fuel?

Jakumo:
This is the point that several of the previous respondents to this topic failed to grasp. The law, if not contested or modified to exclude ambiguous wording, has the potential to become a catch-all pretext to round up and jail for LIFE anyone whose online opinions ruffle feathers in high places, even if NO fraud or incitement to violence could reasonably be implied from such written opinions posted online.

It is unconstitutional and must be contested before the courts.

helinues:
There is freedom of speech, but reckless speech is not part of the freedom

Does free speech include the right to insult a person. Mind you, I said insult. I didnt say defame.

Afrobasic:
Repeat after me:

NIGER DELTA OIL WEALTH.

Belongs to Alhaji's in the North.

Strictly, except the portion they permit southern politicians to share.

LaIabobo:
The resources being tapped currently are grossly mismanaged. These untouched resources are better left untapped for the future generations, perhaps they'll be better managers. Hopefully oil and gas would still be worth something in the future.

Two things you dont understand.

1. Nigeria's oil wealth doesn't belng to Nigerians. It belongs strictly to its political elite for their private use.

2. Oil does not have a long shelf time in the future market. In fifty years or less it will have lost its position as a lead source of energy to renewable energy, solar, biomass, wind, nuclear and many other fast rising options. Fossil fuels are almost history and countries relying on them now should do the smart thing and sell them off ahead to foreign or local offtakers for solid foreign exchange and deploy the funds strictly into building futuristic technological industries which will earn more than fossil fuels for generations to come.

AntiChristian:
What evidence do you have for these your fake news?

Na so una dm dey lie on top una head! Same lies you brandish against others!

Are you so poorly schooled as to call what I wrote news? Let me guide you. Look for the following word in my sentence - "probably."

AntiChristian:
How person go comot Nigeria spend so much money come go sit-down at some booth? Abeg, look for connections everywhere! Switch on your WiFi, Bluetooth, infrared, etc and connect! You must bring something home!

If you dont know that the people tasked to handle that booth were probably with their oloshos then you dont know anything.

Jamboree as usual.

They don't care about the actual technical work.

Estacode, etc are more important.

While their broke online defenders make excuses and laugh off the failure that will create their own hunger, underdevelopment and backwardness for generations . . . .

Jaymats:
Pls what is your argument now? I can't really understand. Ok kiosk is empty, good so what is the fuss about it?

No fuss. We like empty kiosks in Nigeria even if every single other country made sure they represented in their kiosks. Maybe all other countries are jobless and your darling FGN is the only smart strategic one.

No be so? Na so.

Who can feel the hot empty air in the reaction. Who can hear the loud noise from an empty barrel.

amaridigital:
.

Oboy forget that 2x2 cubicle jor. This is a high powered negotiation conference with world political and corporate leaders in attendance. Is that cubicle enough to display ten bundles of Adire? Stop disgracing Nigeria. That's a kind of cubicle befitting Obi and his people not a whole Nigeria.

Lol. When will you be tired of excuses? Do you really think this is what functioning countries do?

30k will take you no where.

Factcheck0001:
person wey enter igbale for good 21 days, u think say na play?

I don't think na play, my point is why will he then claim to be Christian. Is that not an abomination?

T9ksy:
The crown won by the Ooni belongs to the Traditionalists. Aii the rites the Ooni had to undergo before he is crowned, were performed by the Traditonalists. Abi, na xtian Bible dem used to crowned him as the Ooni of ile-ife, ni?

My question is if the Ooni as. Christian will perform traditional rites he needs to perform and if that will not be against his Christianity.

PS: I personally believe it is a disgrace and an abomination for such a traditional ruler who ought to be the custodian of tradition to profess a foreign religion.

Factcheck0001:
in Yoruba land, once u are a leader u are the father of everything.

U no longer have a religion or bias.

U must associate freely with anyone, that's y u see adeleke in mosque today n in church tomorrow n he will still do orisa next tomorrow.

That's Yoruba for u

What about the Ooni who claims to be a Christian. Can he still perform traditional rites?

adefitim:
But if it were to be negative news now you can blame the president for it right?

Only so long as it directly concerns his policies, actions or inactions.

TimeManager:
Meanwhile when Tinubu was creating the Livestock Ministry, members of opposition with limited understanding and stunted foresights were kicking, calling it a waste, propaganda, etc. But look at it now, barely a year, things are shaping up. Look how excited the Governor sounded. How many Governors have been given enabling environment to earn foreign exchange since 1999?. Look how Governors across the states, regions and political parties are executing different kinds of projects under the leadership of Jagaban. And if these Governors completed a project and named it after Tinubu, you will be on your keyboard kicking. Renewed Hope till 2031.


-Kiss the truth!

This has jack to do with the creation of any such useless minisry.
