China is actively subsidzing manufacturing to hurt the US as well.

Check out the profit margin of Apple or Nike products. They could have their product produced in the US, pay the wages and still make profit.

That's why all big brands migrated there.

America should cut the tax and amend some laws to promote and protect manufacturers.

QuinQ:
You missed this part: "“If your mother is going to decide everything for you, then maybe we should call off the wedding.”

That is the reason she called the wedding off. She have had enough.
Mama's boy.
Married women's worst nightmare.

Trump was an ex president during all of Biden’s presidency and he never once shut up about the administration. He was also very involved in the Republican Party, deciding the course of the party and the decisions they made. Holding rallies from State to state. Selling merch and spreading hate + propaganda.

How many Obama rallies have we seen since he left office?

Trump didn't shut up cos he still want to contest. Also, the last administration humiliated him so much. He has only his voice as that was the only thing they couldn't manipulate.
Obama has finished his tenure, let him go and rest.
Even Joe don rest.He should work hard to influence change of the constitution for presidency so he can contest again.

Remembered when Clinton left office. I heard about Clinton again when he lead the team that rescued an American in north Korea.
That is the work of an ex president. Once in a while, grant interview on national matters as an elderly statesman.
Lowest of the low is acting as a campaign spokesman of Kamala.

If not for Hillary, nobody remembers the Clintons again.

For some reasons, can't download in peace.

I'll do a follow up. Has globalization succeeded. With 170 nations applying higher tarriffs on America than the rates America charges them tariffs

I stopped buying American goods cos they are very expensive. Unless I buy through a dealer.
Also, here,all American goods that uses electricity burn your current even if you did the needful.
Don't know if it's a deliberate act. American goods are not uk friendly at all. Over the years, all I bought from American markets become useless and had to trash them. We can't use American hone appliances but can use EU.
We can't some Chinese. Never know why it's so.

So those hating on what trump is doing should know he is fighting for equality of American manufactured goods outside America as goods from other countries have no issues in America.
I don't live in America but I love some made in American goods but can't even buy and use them.

I got vitamix dry container 4yrs ago but it was useless as it was not uk compliant yet it was sold in pounds. I have the main vitamix yet it's dry container don't work in uk. Go to review and see how people like me were fooled. What's the rational behind that. People screamed. Yet it's called one global community.
You Americans really hate your country.

Talk is easy when you it doesnt affect you.

I have binned appliances worth more than 4k from America. The remaining, nobody uses them. Will do the needful one day. Yet,I can easily use Japanese, Chinese and of course EU products with ease.

Have they stopped vandalising tesla show rooms and cars?

Did it get the desired results.
What next in the agenda?


I read some one comment about Obama and it got me thinking.
No ex president of America has involved himself in present administrations like Obama. He can come and contest for 3rd term since he don't want to leave the stage if that is possible.

LifestyleTonite:
Why must one travel to Enugu before one can have a good Okpa? It shows Okpa has no level. One clown up there said it has to be prepared by an Enugu woman before it will taste good. That's a lie. The fact that it tastes bland elsewhere shows that it will also taste bland even in Enugu. Okpa is poor man's food sold in traffic.

Okpa is never a poor man's food.
A full bag of ground okpa is not less than 150k. Can you afford that?
People mix it with wheat flour especially outside the zone it's not well recognised that's why they said go to Enugu for good okpa. Once they eat it, they know it's mixed with flour and that's the end of biz for that person. And real okpa is costly.

It's better and healthier than all the beans.
Has protein more than beans.

Nigerians don't eat protein. You see one people eat and you term it poor man's food.
It is legume like beans. Is beans poor man's food?
Pizza is a poor man's food in the West.

AguluLiar:
The most popular food in Nigeria today is Amala.
So many people who are not from the South West have adopted this menu.

That's why you are bitter because no food from your tribe is being consumed by outsiders

The most popular food in Nigeria is rice, followed by yam,then beans.
These are food you can see in every household across Nigeria with ease. Core north don't eat swallow except tuwo. Some don't even know what amala or akpu means.

pansophist:
It has to be pizza.

Unhealthy, expensive, overhyped, and no difference than bread, except that it is massively advertised as something upper class.

Give me bread and beans with cold water, and to hell with pizza.

Thank you.
I did one course in the uni on health inequalities across the globe focusing on nutrition.
It was so shocking that pizza, fries and burger are food mass produced for plantation workers and the homeless then. In developed countries, you will never see a rich man eating any of these. They eat healthy cooked food. In Nigeria, it's the opposite. The rich patronise these junk foods.

It's the culture of accepting everything the west sell to you.

South korea,China, all these south east Asian countries celebrities are trying hard to promote them but the people still don't accept them.

SmartyPants:
Enugu is the only place I've had okpa, and it was alright, but the way people describe it - just like you have- doesn't match the reality. But then taste is subjective and not worth debating.

People pick okpa cos it has high protein content. Doesn't make your stomach bloat or you rushing to the toilet and you can practically cook it with nothing.
If you don't like the flavour, you will definitely not enjoy it.

I prefer it to moimoi.
I also prefer anambra okpa to Enugu okpa. Anambra add more stuff in it and use palm oil concentrate. The taste is so diff. Haven't eaten that since donkey years. Enugu okpa just full everywhere.

ReacherSaidNoth:
Banga and starch with fresh fish is the GOAT

I made this banga soup like 2 yrs ago.
Followed what the cook said on youtube. She is a delta woman. Used all she used but I no feel am at all. That was the first and last time I made it.

As for the starch, I just don't like the look. Maybe, I need to eat it in a restaurant. The taste might be diff.

2special:
Noodles advert

Noodles have come to stay.
Besides, when you make noodles as balanced meal, it's even better than our rice. Nigerians don't go that way cos it's expensive to make a meal you will finish immediately without left over. Where we get the money. We are yet to know what the poverty capital of the world means. An average Nigerian can't afford good quality food

bukatyne:
Why would you cancel something because you don't like it.

Are you the default cook or allergic to it?

He might be living alone most likely.

benalvino3:
The stock market is not the economy.

Who even believed that.

Ordinary citizens care less.
What they want is reduced inflation,more jobs and stable economy. Security and promise that their families will be protected in the future if they are no longer there.


I saw pictures of protesters up there.

America is not different from Nigeria where protesters are political tools by the opposition.
Black life matters opened my eyes.

raumdeuter:
Biden was right here

Will they read and understand when the eyes are cloudy already?

Europe is ready to negotiate with the US.

We have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods.

Because we're always ready for a good deal.

But we’re also prepared to respond with countermeasures.

And protect ourselves against indirect effects through trade diversion. pic.twitter.com/hpZ77TXH4B

Not surprised at all. Reality versus kuvukuland.

And my dear Starmer is now seeing things from Trump perspective all of a sudden.
The rest will follow.

High time America stop this big brother and protector of thing. Less burden. Less interest in creating instability around the world. The world is never one global village. They should come up with new political and economic experiment. This failed.

Yugoslavia247:
Name 1 non islamic terrorist group and i will name 50 islamic terrorist group. Using United nations

Nit terrorist groups. I ain't a Muslim but the narrative that all Muslims are terrorists made countries lax on the enemy within. Countries are jolted awake by the realities on ground. I have had numerous training on domestic terrorism. Of course we have terrorist groups which is dominated by Muslims but there are others and some single people. They are more dangerous cos they go unnoticed

danzaki63:
Tell us why Minna. Jos, Kano, Kaduna and Maiduguri did not make this list?

Cos have never seen river benue. He added abuja cos its the Federal capital.

ogaemma:
Finally Abure have been humbled by the court.
LP can now move on.

Is abure no longer the chairman?

Yugoslavia247:
Islam omoh
I


When you read a book that makes killing a honorable thing what do you expect


All terrorist are muslims

All muslims agree with all the teachings of jihad and killing.

All terrorists are not Muslims

That is false. That narrative don't sell anymore in the world. Big mistake by the west. Now, they are believing that an ordinary person living everyday life who is one of them can actually become a terrorist.

Acidosis:
This is why virgins need to marry their fellow virgins. You can’t go and scatter your body like suya on a bad grill, then carry that rough, agbero-style experience and offload it on somebody's daughter. There are people out there that get maximum satisfaction from 10 minutes "daddy and mommy" style and that's perfectly perfect.

If you or your ex like legs hanging on the window or thr us ting non-stop like say na war against Gaza, better to find a partner with a similar speedometer.

Jesu!

You guys should not spoil my innocent mind


How u dey abeg make i talk better thing

How are the kids.

pocohantas:
Since you understood my message, you picked something.

You want me to tell you how to make your wife's vagina WIDER and DEEPER like your EX's own? That is the meaningful contribution a married man wants? Why didn't you marry your EX with wide and deep vagina?

As for the tear, how do I know if your hurt her or reopened her tear? Maybe you should add a picture of the site for online examination.

Regards...🙂

Poco, you drink pami?

crazygod:
This one still gets mouth to talk abi? Because the Hague has not called for your arrest for your crimes against humanity in Libya. Obama single handedly destroyed Libya and till now, they have not recovered.

He said at one time that his invasion of Libya was his greatest political mistake and calculation.

Besides, Obama is not a black man. Forget that Kenyan father story. Kamala also claimed she was black at the heat of the electioneering until she was bursted.

ednut1:
Stfu. You killed ghadaffi, funded isis , deported more people and tried to force Africa to legalize LGBT

You know, Nigerians actually think trump is the king of deportation.
Obama was termed deportation zsar. None has come close. But no noise. The media know how to die the matter quietly.

This department of government efficiency DOGE was actually established by him. Trump continued from where he stopped.

We know those that love and sing his praise.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Imagine if you didn't use USAID to destabilize other countries especially in Africa, Middle East & Asia

His lackey don't know that. They are programmed to believe that he was the messiah. Tabloid carried that too

Loads of opportunities in USA. The sky wouldn't have contained him but look at failed parenting and peer all over this handsome young chap.

nairalanda1:
Most African countries especially NIgeria are made up of hungry people. Hungry people get no time for morality and so forth. If leader X is stealing billions but doing things like palliatives every now and then, who cares?

South Korea has its own large religious population (yes) and even has a form of Korean jingoism that if a European said the same thing Koreans say about themselves, he would be considered a very evil racist. (Koreans are pure people, etc etc.)

But the country is developed, and people have eaten. Now they can look at the morals of their leaders.

The reason the political class will continue to weaponise poverty. Add ethnic divide.
