WhiteIverson:
You don't understand so stop wailing. The people needed to watch the world cup are already residing in America. Besides, have you heard the Europeans and Asians complaining about getting in? Africans should stay home and watch it on Dstv.

This statement alone tells me of your ignorance. I am 100 per cent sure you have never travelled out of this country. Just look at what you say about attendees already residing in America. America is not a football following country AT ALL. And look at what you say about no complaints from Europe and Asia. There have been lots. You are just another Nigerian teenager who worships Trump.

AntiChristian:
So only you remember?

Hope it's not delusion?

Why do you keep misreading simple English. Please research the matter. Its not about me. Its is well known ancient knowledge which exists all over the world still today.

AntiChristian:
How do you know it exists when you don't remember?

I said many dont remember, I didnt say I dont remember. I vividly remember my lucid dreams and astral travels.

AntiChristian:
But if we sleep 8 hrs per day for 30 years that would amount to using 10 years to sleep!

There is another life in sleep, we depart our bodies to attend to it, but most dont remember the worlds they visit.

I’ve not slept in 3 days, I feel fidkennfijwgafeehdjdinnfooppfnrmmfhgqgrrjflkl

Be careful, being without sleep for three days can lead to temporary insanity/ delirium/ hallucinations.
Ask a doc for a sedative.

BlueRayDick:
How many people joined Boko Haram through social media? Social media has the least influence on the growth of terrorist groups like Boko Haram jare.

If u talk about advancement in technology and easy access to weapons by terrorist groups as factors , I won't argue with u.

Also, we can talk about state funded terrorism where u have some countries funneling funds to these terror groups who use same to buy weapons in the black market.

You see, just the sheer speed and freedom with which people with such proclivities could even hear of it in the first place is something to dwell on.

GloriousGbola:
for all intents and purposes Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was largely indoctrinated online

in the 90s, 60 minutes did a segment on corruption in nigeria,. the video was banned in nigeria, so the only way you coud see it was if someone in your area had the videotape

but today - it is on youtube and that is that

Its such a huge factor, what you have said cannot be underestimated at all. Its virtually the difference between a candle and a nuclear powered plant.

GloriousGbola:
you are looking at a sect from the 80s as a case

Did we have world wide Islamist terrorism in the 80s?
Did we have social media as a tool of rapid indoctrination?
Did we have broadcast media outside of govt control?

do yo realise how much terror and fear boko haram can spread via social media? in the 80s, the only way they could have spread this is via sharing video tapes , because the govt would definitely not broadcast any of this

Strong point.

GloriousGbola:
internationally backed islamist terrorism was not a problem in the late 1990s. we are seeing how other military governments are failing to tackle the same problem. this is a completely different beast today




no one was pushing for sharia at the time. but thanks to medially savvy terrorists, an Islamic state is looking like an utopian dream to be aspired towards. if anyone had said you would see yoruba muslims bombing a church you would have said impossible.

Totally fair points.

BlueRayDick:
While it is true they are northern Muslims, it is also true there weren't internationally recognized terrorist organizations disturbing peace of the country during their regimes. At least I know neither Abacha nor Babangida's government had any terrorist organization springing up on them.

Even if such happened I tend to believe that their handling of them would have been harsh and radical, northern Muslim or not.

BlueRayDick:
I get the point he is making and I think I agree with some of the sentiments.

When Boko Haram was in its infancy there were accusations and counter accustions amongst some politicians particularly in Borno about one or two people being terrorism sponsors. I think Ali Modu Sheriff was mentioned at some point. And then we have Kabiru Sokoto and Shetimma connection.

Remember Kabiru Sokoto was a Boko Haram member who master minded Christmas day bombing of a Catholic church in Niger state in December 2011. Kabiru Sokoto was arrested early 2012 but later escaped custody. He was later rearrested at Borno state governor's lodge in Abuja while Shetimma was Borno governor.

I strongly believe there's no way a military government in power would allow people like Ali Modu Sheriff and Shetimma to continue to be free men even on mere allegations of their names mentioned in counter accusations of terrorism sponsorship. We all know how military governments can be, they will first lock you up before anything. Even all those hostage negotiations we've been seeing governors and LGA chairmen do in the north, I doubt anything of such will happen under the watch of a military government.

All the nonsense basket mouth talk Gumi has been doing , he would've long been locked up under a military government. I think it was in Burkina Faso or so, that a radical Islamic cleric was recently arrested for his extremist views. When the cleric's supporters heard of his arrest, they decided to protest against the government, they were equally arrested . Last week I saw content creator's video online who claimed the government is planning to conscript those supporters of the cleric into the army and they will be deployed to the frontlines to fight against terrorists so they can appreciate what the military is doing to keep them safe from terrorists( I don't know how true this is tho)

Agree.
Indeed, some military govts will not just lock people up who mess with them, they will execute you by fiat.
With a military govt, it would be one armed cult against another and they will find it harder to tolerate the rival armed cult.

But certainly no one wishes us to go back to military rule. No way.

GloriousGbola:
Wasn't certain Mali is a military dictatorship so hold send on that one

They are now a confederacy (AES - Association of Sahelian States) for their joint protection and progress. Mali, Burkina and Niger. All military govts.

CanadaOrBust:
Not just population. Demographics - too many old folks and not enough young people. Friend of mine recently went to China and said one thing surprised him was old people working all over the place.

Also, the entire China world power thing is based on population. That's why they can make massive amounts of stuff at ridiculous prices and can overwhelm any foe with massive number of people

Anyone who cannot also understand that China has also become a scientific power is leaving in la la land. As for the aging population isue, its common to the wealthy world. Go and see Japan. It will not affect China by dint of sheer numbers.

Pure fear and fantasy

Trust me you will like it

You are hereby warned regarding your imminent apprehension by my thugs . . . know that you have murdered sleep

Nefort:
The picture illustration you used is so wicked

I love it and I will love to build an office exactly like that and enslave people there, right up to the fact that their clothes must be irredeemably dirty AT ALL TIMES Sundays inclusive.

UkoAnnang:
Yes

I'm a traditional Annang man, for our side we chop dogs

Deal with it

You cant tell me that and get away it. It is barbaric as dogs are like human beings. I will set up a committee tasked with the mission of locating you and setting you straight.

Cherrybae:
The is not eatable as the meat won't be sweet.

Reason it's still alive.

May God help the dog locate its owner

What! This implicates you as an expert at 404

UkoAnnang:

Hit ahm hard on its head

And use its remains for 404

How can you say this evil thing?
And your username suggests you may actually be from the place where that is done to such dear souls.

nairalanda1:
A stray dog could have something called rabies

And I have seen two people die of rabies. It is effed up

Also I was bitten by a dog as a child. Not funny.(I also once had a neighbour's dog always attempt to bite me several times for no good reason,lol).

No wonder! Dogs can sense evil! I HAVE BEEN PROVED RIGHT!

That looks like a high quality dog, not a stray

pocohantas:
I think you should take this argument to those families, because I spoke for myself, not anyone else.

Of course I understand. Your case is different. You are not doing anything wrong. It's just that what the chap you responded to was saying, was something he understood very very well. I mean Kaczynski.

Slavery: Slavery is the condition in which one human being is legally owned by another and forced to work without compensation.

---

My house assistants work conditions;

1) My two house assistants were adults.

2) They signed a formal contract to work for/with me.

3) Work hours are 9am to 5pm, Mon-Fri, and on days where they worked beyond 6pm, they were paid for extra hours. Mostly days we bulk cooked or had a lot of deep cleaning to do.

4) They were entitled to breakfast and lunch.

5) They handled everything but cooking and caregiving. Errands, sweep, mop, market pickup (I have a shopper, they only pickup from her), iron clothes, clean general areas. They never washed or ironed adult clothes.

6) They were paid above minimum wage. 100k/month to be very specific. N40,000 biweekly. N20,000 was kept aside as their pension, payable with its accumulated interest upon resignation.

7) They both lived within walkable distance. Like a 15mins walk, so they didn't incur transportation cost.


What part of this arrangement was slavery? I am open to learning because this seems like a day job to me and legal domestic staffing have existed in different forms under different names.

Your terms are fair but I think your argument is simplistic. In this country we all know there are underage people given out by families / agents to "be trained" elsewhere and they have no choice and their salaries which can be minute, go to other people who they never see. You will be told they are house helps too, but its a form of modern human trafficking. I will be surprised if you dont know how rampant, even cultural, this is here and across Africa.

OAFMods:
You can wail to death for all you care. The givt should not take loan to build road, Tinubu should use his money to build your road ba ?! Is that how Alex Otti build 0.5 KM roads with his own money ba for you to praise n hype him.

I suppose you dont know who Chagoury is.

The payment of $83 million to E Jean Carroll is blocked depending on whether SCOTUS will take up the case. I hope it does .

In the case and subsequent appeals most judges were appointed by Democrat presidents.

Lewis A. Kaplan . Presided over both main civil trials and key rulings. Appointed by President Bill Clinton (1994).

**Magistrate Judge (S.D.N.Y.) James L. Cott: Handled some preliminary or discovery matters. Magistrate judges are appointed by the district court (not by the President).

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Appellate Panels)
Key judges from panels that heard appeals (panels typically consist of 3 judges; multiple panels involved across cases):
1.Denny Chin: Appointed by President Barack Obama
2. Susan Carney: Appointed by President Barack Obama.
3. Myrna Pérez: Appointed by President Joe Biden.
4.Sarah A.L. Merriam: Appointed by President Joe Biden
Maria Araújo Kahn: Appointed by President Joe Biden.

Other judges involved in en banc proceedings or dissents/concurrences (full court review requests):
Steven Menashi and Michael H. Park (dissented on some en banc denials): Appointed by President Donald Trump.

Debra Ann Livingston (Chief Judge, partial involvement): Appointed by President George W. Bush.

Additional Biden appointees (e.g., Beth Robinson) joined concurrences on en banc denials.


U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Appellate Panels)

had 7 judges appointed by Democrats vs 6 by Republicans.
Cases emanating from New York against Trump are still stalled or denied.
The democrat judges at the appeal blocked the en banc review of the case.
The case was an injustice.
Cococandy.
Democrat framed him in order to tag him a rapist.

You know the truth doesnt matter to you. So long as it can be won for Trump, you would not care if it was against your Grand-Mother.

cococandy:
I love when women who support terrible men find out in real time that they’re not special. That the said man will throw them under the bus for another leg up if it comes down to it, no matter how much prior effort she put into propping him up.

I love it because nothing you say as an “opponent” in the beginning would have made sense to them. They have to learn from personal experience in order to actually understand. And that moment is their teachable moment, that’s why it makes me happy.

I as a matter of principle don’t laugh with or support men who are misogynists. I don’t even care how friendly we were in the past. If I notice that, I’m out. Save the banter and kikiing for another lady who doesn’t understand (yet).

Any self respecting woman would’ve axed Trump the moment he made sexual assault jokes. Let’s not even forget all the disgusting things he insinuated about his own daughter. These are grown women supporting a man like that, knowing very well what that kind of behavior means.

Now they want to speak up because they’re caught in the crosshairs. People who need to learn from personal experiences are neither smart nor trustworthy. Because the next time a terrible person comes along who favors them, they will become their big birdy unthinking selves again.

She can go sit in the corner.

Humans are incomprehensible.

basilico:
Looking at democrat supporters here, they pick a single fault with Trump of which he has many..
They write him off and expect you to do the same.
They see no evil , hear no evil and talk no evil when it comes to Democrats. No matter how absurd it is.
They been conditioned to rejoice in every woe that befalls Trump and conservatives.
One man's meat is another man's poison.

Stop lying. How many times have I condemned Obama and noted a couple of things Trump has done right.
Can ANY of you do the same? List Obama's good actions and condemn some of Trumps?

IjeBos:
He said poverty and loser mentality. lulz
Like the guy who posted this and thought that hotel rooms with kitchenettes were "luxurious hotels"?
And that eba and protein is a "good delicacy"
I can't

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahhaha!
Poor fella!

See what he celebrates. No wonder.

Image123:
If he went at GEJ vigorously, according to you. You should be speaking with opposition, not me.

I don't understand. Re-phrase.
Or you simply mean the opposition should do as well as he did when he was opposition?

Image123:
i will take Tinubu more seriously than folks like Fayemi. i don't regard sore losers.

Be honest. You know you are only making an excuse for him because he's your guy. Because it's obvious it was politics. Other parallels can be drawn about how he went at GEJ vigorously concerning Chibok girls. Now that the same thing and worse is happening under him what can be said?

And you know all too well that you will now rationalize it because it's Bola. If it was the man you didn't like, you know very well you would be saying just how bad it is.

You can't deny this.

Image123:
i have said it several times, i am not obliged to defend his past or present. What i will continue to insist on is that he'll win, and that he's better than any other person contesting. 10 years is not a bad idea to change an opinion BTW. You changed your stance on some things this past ten years. Are you a snake or having snake-like nature?

That would be a fair point if we didn't know that for him it was political strategy as admitted by Fayemi.
