🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 your mouth nor good at all

Which of them do you like? Will you opt for Yekinia? That one will symbolize integrity and truthfulness about idenitity. When we adopt that name and become known as Yekinians the world will stop seeing us as a 419 country. Although personally I am partial to us being Bolanians. It has a European ring to it, and can assuage our colonial mentality since we like colonially given national anthems!

SixSeven:
I hope I've been able to confuse you and not convince you on why A is better than B

Aleister:
If you see this government debunk a rumor, then know that they’ve discussed about it before. He can change it to Nigerbu or Tinuburia.

Or Bolania or Jagabania or Yekinia.

Sharia law certainly should be abolished.

SixSeven:
I put a condition or clause before my conclusion. It's not about likes in this case. You are free to like whatever you want to. After all, one man's meat is another's poison.

About controlling his woman, political philosophers make us understand that the sources of power, authority, influence and control. You can control a woman by force or fear but your influence is zero once she is out of sight. That's weakness and insecurity.

Ol' boy you have only confused me more.

SixSeven:
What a load of trash. Not to the women but to the picture from the OP
Any responsible man who tells you he likes a woman who's vulgar (1), drinks (2), cannot cover her breast and belly (1,3,4) and wants that same woman to be the mother of his children is a weak man. End of story.

I struggle to see what weakness has to do with it. You could say you disagree with his values but I can't see a case for weakness. Because you are assuming the man cannot control his woman (as though women are to be controlled anyway) without knowing what the man likes. What if he likes precisely the things you condemn?

BREAKING!!!
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has just now Ordered the convictions the Oath Keeper and Proud Boy defendants be vacated, and that the cases be remanded to the District Court in anticipation of a motion by DOJ To Dismiss.


The Appeals court knows that all violence was inspired by FBi , that Biden DOJ framed as many trump supporters as the could.

Keep up with your qanon nonsense.

No, you are just a liar

Have you no shame? We have been over and over this? We quoted him verbatim, didnt we? We dont need to start again, do wee?

bemeruca:
Grab the lie very hard, it is like oxygen to you.

Hahahahahahahahaha!
Shame!

You are ashamed!
You deny the mans exact words!

JuanDeDios:
No question about bolded. The real philosophical question is whether it's bad being vainglorious about something you did.

I dont know about the word "bad" in this context but I would just withdraw from doing anything that seems almost self congratulatory or boastful about such "good deeds." It takes away the goodness.

You know, there is this thing about doing good - it feels good. That in itself is sufficient reward. Looking for applause for it is overboard. And even though I am not Christian i subscribe to Jesus' teaching on this matter. If you publicize your good deeds you have already taken your "extra" reward. In fact you have been paid for the deed and it loses its goodness.

JuanDeDios:
Yeah, not likely I would outside an anonymous forum. But there's always that debate whether such things should be kept to yourself or talked about to create awareness about people's experiences and encourage others to do good.

I'd respect those who choose to talk as much as I do those who don't.

One can draw attention to it and encourage people to be sensitive and kind without saying, hey, here's what I did myself. And even going as far as to mention the amount. There is almost always some vainglory in it.

Anonymously said, better. But as we can see this was not anonymous.

raumdeuter:
That was not what Kirk said.

Haba na. Or shall we say better behaved?

Dtruthspeaker:
America controls you if not you would have seen that in Nigeria there is almost nothing like specialisation.

If only you know how ignorant this is.

Ol' boy, in any jurisdiction, not only can one do a masters in a particular field, one can go on to do a doctorate in such a field and then practice exclusively or predominantly in that field.

Many of my classmates are specialists today including in fields like medical law, projects and finance, capital markets, etc and some only practice in their field.

JuanDeDios:
Maybe they picked the story from her Insta page and decided to add some of her pictures.

My attention has been drawn to that. But even at that, for me, I would not mention my "good deed."

bemeruca:
Why do you want slavery back?

Don't you agree with Kirk that blacks were better off without equal rights again?

If that is your solution then state it clearly

Chai. How dense can someone be.

bemeruca:
So we are back to what I have been saying?

This is basically a concession to my point.

After all the long talk about climate, colonialism, geography, and history, White man, your own solution is not changing or addressing any of that.

Your solution is about leadership, ideology, politics, industrialization, and African unity.

Hmmm, everyone's been trying to bang this points into your head.

Aggressive industrialization and unity are good points. So you proved my argument: Africa’s future depends mainly on what Africans choose to build now, maintain and how they think about the future, their brothers and their unborn children.

I honestly don't know how you reason. Analyzing a matter is a spectrum from cause to situation to correction. As I said with my analogy of the stages of a man's life. Here you are simply saying we should only analyse with the future in mind and throw away the past, the causes, and even the present reality. I am tired of your games.

Kukutente23:
I'm shocked you're writing this
Have you checked the original post she made and saw her attach pictures to it like this
I thought it will be obvious that it's the Op who lifted her pic obviously without her consent and attached it to the thread to give it some perspective
You seem to be ignorant of how some of these threads are made

Ah, if that is the case, different matter.
Still, for me, I would have left out my "good deed." Perhaps just end it hinting that we should all be sensitive to the pains of one another.

Publishing ones small works of charity is against the spirit of the scripture I cited.

Finally why should you be shocked when I said "if" in my post.

Kukutente23:
What's wrong with the picture

It's making it about herself. It's self indulgent. It's self praise and self promotion.

Such was frowned on by Christ when one does good works.

Matthew 6:1–4, spoken by Jesus during the Sermon on the Mount.

​Here is the passage from the New International Version (NIV):

​"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
​So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

And you are the Christian between us, so you should know this.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Omo

The guy is so brutal
He has no sympathy not only for his political rivals but also the masses!

He has no sympathy for the people (masses) just as he has no sympathy for his political rivals in the other parties.

He detests the common man/masses as demonstrated by his elitist policies.

His aversion to the poor has been well known by we Lagosians Tay Tay.

Another thing is how he makes it so obvious that he is not banking on popularity to win.

It's important that we bring a human face to things when we analyse the economy.

Well done madam.

But if that's your picture you have put up there, well. Na wah for you.

GloriousGbola:
Hopefully We will all be here to see for ourselves

Insha Allah.

GloriousGbola:
unfortunately, this is a simplistic answer. the same way people talk about how N1 was $1 in the 80s. very easy. some would even say life was easier during colonialism. gej was handed a working economy and proceeded to squander it. of course your average human being anywhere is not interested in root cause so it is an easy sell.


i have shared this before and i will share it again it is a google search away

i worked in the industry when gej ws president and i can assure you no actual operator was happy to see as gej turned the subsidy into an eating contest where strangers were paid billions for doing nothing. look at total subsdy under yardua 11 billion in 2 years - then gej 42 billion in 4 years then buhari 23 billion in 8 years. your maths is not mathing chief that chart tells you how that the gej people love sqanderd 20 to billion usdon non existent subsidy payments. but lets celebrate him because life was good

bola tinubu took over a declining lagos from buba marwa and turnd it around. he took over a severely diminished nigeria from buhari and is slowly turning it around. what would he have done if he took over from obj or yardua? what would gej have done if he took over from buhari?

what exactly is gejs record beyond being the number 2 to alams? what is his legacy in bayelsa, a state that is at once of nigeria's richest and poorest states ?

all you have to sell him is that people remember life was good under gej while glossing over the hole hsicareless proflgrancy was pushing us into.

And finally I don't know where you got your chart from but it's a scam chart.

In GEJ's last year, fuel subsidy expenditure was not up to a trillion. In PMB's last year it was almost five trillion.

The Federal Government spent ₦4.39 trillion (approximately $9.7 billion at the time) on petrol subsidies in 2022.

When you consider what PMB had done to the exchange rate as well, you will find that in GEJ's last year the FG spent $3 billion on same.

So your APC govt tripled it and somehow you are still saying GEJ is the one who ballooned it.

Just not adding up brother.
You need to be objective and take away your soft spot for the bullion van baron.

If you are defending Julius Caesar as better than Napoleon, please find other grounds than saying that he was less expansionist..

If you are defending BAT against anyone, try not to use corruption as the yardstick.

Let me add one more thing.

I find it rich when people use that line that the current govt is cleaning up the mess of the last one.

Especially if you refer to corruption via subsidy.

You cannot sincerely talk about any good intentions in that regard when open and in-our-face corruption larger than the entire subsidy is taking place with Chagoury alone.

When Abacha's bag man is appointed our Minister of Budget.

These are odious things and no one should try to paint BAT a saint in the face of these.

He ain't cleaning anything, and posterity will judge him very darkly.

It's very easy to blame past leaders for issues to do with BAT, but where any credit may be due to GEJ you then say oh no, not him, past leaders had done well before him and that's why. That sounds a little opportunistic.

If I am not mistaken our GDP was at its all time high in his time.

And you know something. I was old enough in 2015 to see the exact policies introduced by PMB that tanked the economy.

It wasn't GEJ that did anything to that economy (other than the regular kwarapshin common to all leaders). He didn't destroy the economy with bad policies the way PMB and BAT have done.

GloriousGbola:
did you follow the October 1 bombing?

the whole world was aware that mend was going to attack the venue and had given the celebrations a wide berth. but gej's admin did not warn nigerians.

this is like me holding a birthday party that area boys have warned they will attack and everyone but my immediate family is aware of this

the aftermath was even worse as gej then brought despised militants into aso rock on some sort of reassurance tour.

i am sure you understand business cycles. GEJ did not build anything. all he did was inherit what OBJ had put together and run it into the ground

everyone talks about how gej 'courageously ended subsidy while ignoring the fact that he allowed it to fraudulently grow over 300% on his watch and never punished anyone for it.

you can also google how he squandered the ECA. the man was lucky he did not return, because his chickens were coming home to roost .They were borrowing to pay salaries.

the story of joseph, pharaoh, 7 fat cows and 7 lean cows is the way life is. cycles. i have experienced cycles in my personal life, and i have seen them in corporate. all gej did was blow the money at the end of 7 fat years and now those who came after him are trying to salvage it. what i will agree is that buhari who we had real hopes for was a complete disaster who let a situation go from bad to worse.


on security


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geJoniON7SQ

this is really beyond tinubu. the Islamist terrorist have nigeria in their crosshairs. there are enough nigerian muslims whom buy into teh ideology, and a security apparatus that is corrupt through and through. to make matters worse, thsi is happening under te watch of trump, who is more intersted in transactions and posturing

i also think that you have an overly optimistic view of how fast progress is and you are in a hurry to assume that all it takes is an incorruptible leader

i often delete posts i start writing and i was writing one earlier today about lagos badagry expressway

that project started in 2010 - it was meant to run for three to four years. it was funded by the world bank. in 2026 we are still on it and it is now funded by Lagos state. my then employers had a lot of interest in the project as we had a fuel station along the express and the plan was that we would renovate a site and the commissioning would coincide with the closeout of the expressway project. so we followed up on it. there were multiple delays from different angles, a pdp led fg delaying guarantee of the second tranche of the WB loan, an nnpc pipeline that had to be rerouted, covid, CCECc internal strikes , Ambode, funding, etc.

and that is just one project

no one is going to come and wave a wand and sort out our power issues. but it starts with deregulation - which you dont want to hear because it is the act of an evil government that wants to punish citizens.

Thanks for your detailed response but all said and done its been 11 years and no one can claim that either security or the economy have improved. I am sure you also know in your heart that in any poll the vast majority will tell you their lives were better as of 2015.

I am surprised you talked about subsidy ballooning under GEJ when it jumped from just under 300 Billion to 7 Trillion under PMB.

Also I will take low hanging fruits. Since you admit Buhari was a disaster who can we credit with bringing Buhari?
You know the answer.
