DStv yanga (with reasonable channels) is 4,200
Prepaid Meter recharge: 5k or more depending on individual
Refilling of gas for 6kg is 6k+ depending on individual. There are those with 12kg cylinder...

What about;
Feeding
Transport
Rent
Groceries and Cloth
Lawma

What about those with family...??!!!

MAY GOD HELP THE SON OF MAN in this trying time!!!..

Money spent on subscription is the first to axe
All others are necessities.
Besides the 247 internet connection for a year shouldn't be that expensive and will even give me access to more content

Khallicopyro:
Why wait till after his death before exposing him? Because he won't be here to defend himself

So you don't know such a powerful man might also cast a spell on them to make them silent?

Many things get exposed when people die

Laple0541:
Don’t worry, you will be alright very soon. I pray issues bring you guys together.

You didn't take time to read what you replied to or you didn't understand you just want me to agree with you even when you may be wrong
I prefer dealing with Soldiers..... Means I deal with them from time to time.
Are a few soldiers not rogue? Of course I'm not arguing that....but the vast majority of them are very professional

Ogonimilitant:
One party state is coming and Nigeria is finished. Who suffers? The ordinary Nigerians. Who gains? the elites who subjugate their citizens. At the top the are friends and cronies irrespective of tribe and religion. They spread hate between tribes.

The success of these elites is the stupidity of the youths who fight among themselves along ethnic line.

So
Is it new.
That's why I laugh when some of you try to intimidate supporters of APC....you think by calling them names will deter them but it clearly didn't.
If not for the grand coalition that brought APC.... Nigeria would have been a one party state already. Instead of Nigeirans vilifying APC they should rather be grateful for it saving Nigeria from becoming a one party state

Laple0541:
If soldiers are to be arrested over brutality of civilians, no single soldier in Nigeria will be exempted.

Na only for harmless civilian matter dem dey get power.

This is a very big LIE
Nigerian Soldiers are very professional
I prefer dealing with Soldiers because they are far more reasonable and law abiding than the police.
How can you complain when soldier trained to fight war uses horsewhip on you ..... He clearly didn't intend to harm you but to instill some discipline in you

Gboss247:
You didn't answer my question proving the 49% foreign ownership rather you went about displaying your obsession with politicians.

Please how do you want me to prove it
1 I'm not the owner
2. I'm not CAC
3. Im not a politician


All I did was tell you the requirements of the law and a few example.....if you're not satisfied then I don't know how else to answer you.....try some else as me I don't waste my time trying to convince people who already have a fixed mindset

Minsk24:
Yes that's understandable, the situation in gaza is pathetic and the current government in Israel makes things worse ...
The purpose of the thread is to analyze if there would have been any alternative to the high intensity warfare wager by Israel...
Personally i do not see any alternative, that's why i asked on here if someone can educate me on another strategy....

Honestly Israel has very few options especially when enraged. But look at what it's doing in Lebanon...... Precision targeting of Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists ..... It could do that in Gaza too (some of the strikes of Gaza are actually targeted ) no the blanket bombing of everybody everywhere...... That's wrong and Israel risk getting strategically defeated by Hamas if it continues like this because support is drying up and everyone knows that if not for airpower Israel can't face Hamas in street battles on its own home front and succeed ....if not this war would have been long over

vanbonattel:
Propaganda has its limitations.

Peter Obi jas never been I ducted and has never been convicted. The guy is the cleanest politician in Africa.

In Law ignorance is not an escuse.

1. Putting state money in family business even though good investment is a moral liability.

2. Hiding money in tax heaven's even though legal I'm some places is actually illegal in Nigeria and unpatriotic and should be condemned if done by someone who claims he want do things differently. His only escuse was that he didn't know he was required by law to declare his joint investments.

Yes no one expect Obi to be a saint except his deluded followers but of you want to come to equity come with clean hands.
These allegations ....(You may say he was not indicted)... are a moral burden and a man that claims to want to do things differently shouldn't have such burden on his neck.

Minsk24:
My question to geo-political experts on NL, could there have been an alternative strategy by Israel?

How about avoiding the war in the first place by ending the Gaza blockade that has been on for 17 years...this is the root cause of the problem.

The fact is Israel only acted in RAGE and was not strategic. Who wouldn't react with what Hamas did but the mad rage and collective punishment rubbished any claim Israel has to right to self defence.

I know they fight every now and then but of recent there have been genuine moves towards peace on both sides spearheaded by US. But since last year when Bibi and his right wing coalition came to power...there have been fears a war is imminent.
Why?
The far right are for annihilation of Gaza, they want Gaza reoccupied, they want increases in settlement expansion, in short if they have their way Gaza will be a beach resort....and they have not disappointed..

Nukilia:
That will never happen now or in the future. That is the prayer of the Jihadists. I know you want Israel to become like the Plateau where hundreds of Christiians are being slaughtered on a daily basis. That is not going to happen with Israel. The earlier Jihadists are sent to meet their 72 virgins, the better for the whole world.

Just like the Jews are doing in Palestine abi

Isn't that how the state of Israel was formed ? By displacing the local inhabitants and crowding them into refugee camps

Dey play

Rootprof:
Good move but wait ooo if he can escape from their maximum prison where else will they keep him if they recapture him

I wonder. Simple solution
Hand him over to the US who are also looking for him.
This was the same mistake Mexico was making with ElChapo Guzman. Everytime he keeps escaping until they got sense and finally agreed to hand him over to the Americans . He has never escaped any American jail since then.

GanagiBitrus:
He can be his gay in peace.
What I hate is trying to drag gay rights & privileges with normal folks.

That is where they go overboard and people of good conscience MUST stop them especially making it universal and tying it to aid deliveries or Financial support.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlwhcWs2nLs?si=1kXkoFWGJvcpvRDh

In the Video Akpabio alleged that the chairman of the NDDC committee was a beneficiary of the contracts. Guess who was the Chairman of the Committee- Olubunmi Tunji Ojo 😆

Thanks God for internet
I clearly recall now.
Funny how this dude has always been there but we missed him.
But he is doing a good job at interior
It will be a shame to see someone like him go
But hey
Is he indispensable. Hell no

EmeeNaka:
Was Abiy Ahmed not Nobel Peace Price winner before he went to war in Tigray?

If that war had started before the award he won't have won it.

BigBlackPreek:
He and Sowore don rest nau..... make them come back again 2027

Them don tire.
I remember Sowore those years.... Last election dude didn't even score half of his votes in 2019.

Them don hand over to Peter Obi....by the next 2 election cycle.,maybe by then Shetima/Ribadu/gbaja/Akpabio will be in charge and they may make him SA NATIONAL VALUE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

Dandal:
Abeg help me ask am oo.

He is clearly ignorant of the fact that Hezbollah forces have been engaged in warfare in Syria for the last decade, while the IDF was pre-occupied with posting dance videos on TikTok.

Hezbollah battle-hardened experience and ever expanding arsenal of modern weapons can inflict a catastrophic defeat on Israel thereby posing an existential threat to the settler colony. It was this reality that prompted US to swiftly dispatch an aircraft carrier group to the Mediterranean - for the first time in history - to save Israel from a potential annihilation.

The Only thing that's restraining Hezbollah is the Lebanese economy which clearly can't withstand a war now.....and they don't want a repeat of its 2006 war with Israel that caused so much destruction and devastation that Hezbollah had to apologize to the Lebanese people.
Even at this Hezbollah has made it clear if Israel brings the war to them they are ready to face and defeat Israel

misreal:
Now they are praising hezbollah the same way they praised hamas.
Very soon,we will hear of another genocide in Lebanon.
This people wrongly assume that israel went to sleep after the war in 2006.
I just dey laugh some ignorant people here

Just the way you think Hezbollah went to sleep after 2006

Gboss247:
Please, where is the prove of 49% foreign ownership and what is the name of the politicians?

Are you seriously asking this question.

Intels majority shareholder was Atiku Abubakar

IBEDC majority shareholder is Olushola Ayandele

Recall the 49% is in case of foreign ownership....many companies are 100% owned by Nigerian Politicians .

Dey play

Righthussle:
Rest in peace to the death. Boko Haram will one day become history.

Christians will leave their powerful god of Israel that they give money to every week to blame for not using his power to save the pastor and the worshippers. Na Nigeria military dem go begin blame now.

But I don't understand something, how is it possible that a powerful god, an almighty god will do nothing to save his people in time of great danger?

Baffles me all the time

See them all over the thread masturbating already and calling Tinubu when the almighty God is there

Ekejoestar:
One would think that with plenty of mosque and churches we have in this country that integrity and honesty will be our forte but reverse is the case.

This is the unfortunate part of our situation.

And it's in the two dominant faiths.

Gboss247:
Please, can you mention the companies owned by politicians that disguise as foreign companies.

According to the indigenous degree which sets the tone for company ownership a foreigner cannot own more than 49% shares of Most companies i.e the majority shareholder is almost always a Nigerian and are most times politicians

zombieHUNTER:
prove me wrong..

And after then..... What next? Will that make the price of petrol become 500 naira.
You rate yourself too much as if your opinion matters. It doesn't

Botragelad:
Nice thread......
I think it is possible that the United States will still be the world power in the next 100 years. Large and diverse economy, which accounts for about a quarter of the global GDP, strong military presence, with hundreds of overseas bases and alliances with many countries, vibrant culture, which influences many aspects of global entertainment, media, education, and innovation, resilient political system, which allows for peaceful transitions of power and checks and balances among different branches of government.

They also have a history of adapting to new international realities, such as the rise of China, the challenges of climate change, and the threats of terrorism.
In reality, the United States faces many challenges and uncertainties in this 21st century, and it cannot take its global leadership for granted. It will have to compete with other emerging powers, such as China, India, Brazil, and maybe Nigeria which will have larger populations and economies by 2050.

Still, I see no one taking that position they hold!

But will eventually be toppled one day by probably China.
It isn't the first to be called world power....where are the Greeks, Romans today

GreatBoss:
Do you know that despite the fact that Ijaws are larger than Igbos in Population, and is the 3rd largest tribe in Nigeria you can never see any professional Ijaw beggar anywhere in the whole world.


Ijaw with 2,800 villages and settlements were unjustly balkanized into six States of Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa Ibom States when we are fully together and not even scattered by God.



Ijaw our past, Ijaw our present, Ijaw our future.
Ijaw we know, Ijaw our final home.


@General Ditari.

The real third largest tribe....followed by Tivs. The igbos actually place is 4th or 5th.

People that lost 3 millions out of their 6 million population as at then still claiming to be the third largest tribe. The next census go shock them..... Na the yorubas and hausas wey dey cover for them them don fall out with so....the next census will reveal their real population

SeeWahala:
Hmm . . . 2 truths I have learnt in my short life on earth living in nigeria are as follows

1. All terrorists are Muslims but not all Muslims are terrorists

2. All herdsmen are fulani but not all fulani are herdsmen.

Nothing you can say or show me will make me change my opinion concerning the two sentences above.

You didn't learn anything.... You assumed you learnt but when you don't make use of what your learnt you are as useless as not learning anything.

So the IPOB terrorists are Fulanis too? And are also Muslims

When you are ready to learn you will look for where to learn.....

Morbeta11:
This is one of the reasons Nairaland was shutdown.......the news of the dude should stop making it to from page.

Na LIE this isn't one of the reasons nairaland was shut down
Who cares about your tribal fights . The stakes are larger when it comes to Israeli Palestinian conflict.
Nairaland was shut down because Seun didn't remove an anti semitic post even when his attention was drawn to it

SeeWahala:
I'm already educated bro. It's all a conspiracy to make us hate isreal.

It can never work

You missed the last part of the post... especially the bolded part that's says

"Despite all this, the Yarmouk Valley is still run by ISIS, left alone by Israel and is a testament to the complex, cynical and calculated machinations of the actors in this conflict.

Nobody is going to make anybody hate Israel.
The whole world hates Jews (although for no reason except for a conspiracy theory (protocols of the elders of Zion) that claimed Jews planned to dominate the world and introduce one world order (something many conspiracy theorists still believe is in motion as we speak)
Forget the wokeness they are displaying now
Why did Europe create Israel? It's to solve it European jewsish problem
Lord Balfour declaration was seen as a solution to a big problem and that's the reason all European countries and America poured money and investment into Israel and built it's army to be one of the strongest in the region so that they can be free of the Jewish problems
And have been supporting Israel with the sole aim of ensuring that Jews don't find themselves flooding Europe again (although ironically now replaced by Arabs Muslims from Africa and Asia)

This conflict has so many dimensions that most of us onlookers from out side don't really understand. We are better off not talking sides but if you have to take sides do so with conviction and not because of herd mentality

vanbonattel:
Your just another godfather supporter that wants wike to milk milk Rivers state money and take to Abuja foe them to dominate more states.

Where were you when Wike made an ordinary accountant Governor over political heavyweights that have invested heavily in the party over the years?
SIM is actually smarter than most of you taking his side in this matter.....dude knew he can't win and did the best thing. COOPERATE

TokunboCarsOnly:
The SW always claim to know politics more than the SE and the SS but that is not true. While SW play selfish and regional politics thereby plunging Nigerians into more hardship, the SE and SS play more of let's get the right man for the job kind of politics. But I must tell the SE and SS enough of looking for educated, intelligent and capable leader because the SW careless about education or capability. It is the reason they can vote and support certificate less people like Buhari and Tinubu.

So now, let's all go mad. Since they want to keep destroying Nigeria, let's all join hands and ensure it happens fast. Since they have allowed Muslim Muslim ticket to fly, then we must encourage and canvass votes for North North ticket after Tinubu eight years. We must also sacrifice the interest of the South to produce vice president. Let everything go North after this useless regime please.

And our choice for that Northern joint ticket is no other but two rootless men Shettima as president and Elrufai as Vice president.

Please SE and SS spread this news, let the campaigns begin. Since the SW don't care whether Nigeria survives or not. Since all they care is whatever benefits their region and how to be in the scheme of things at the center without minding the quality of who rules please let's join them till this nation hits the bricks.

SE is the loser here trying to use divide and rule tactics after falling to force and blackmail other Nigerians to buy your fake china made Presidential candidate.....
Don't drag SS into your madness they woke up to your shenanigans loooong ago.

See igbos just dey do gragra....no just wan gree but yorubas are your masters any day any time
I know it's painful.....I mean if I were igbo I will be pained that while igbos are still struggling to get just vice president the yorubas in the last 25 years have produced a president for 8 years....vice president for 8 years and now the president.
but all this una gragra won't make an igboman president but strategic alligning and collaboration with other blocs will do it.
Don't just get mad....get to work

zombieHUNTER:
When you speak good today of the Buhari administration you supported for eight years.. come back and talk.. olodo

I'm still better than you pretending Christianity has no ills , hasn't supported terrorism or slavery in the past, been involved in forced abduction of children so let's hand all the whole worlds violence poverty war and diseases on Muslims

zombieHUNTER:
If I was a member of that religion.. i would have hanged myself..
One Yoruba Muslims up there claiming the west sponsors ISIS.. How can you receive sense when you voted Buhari twice and capped it off with Voting Tinubu..

What a pity..

They are still better than those that believed Buhari was replaced by Jubril from Sudan...... Whoever believed that can believe anything including lying to themselves that they will hang themselves if they were muslimsn

Kushites:
Stop this ''Africa'' nonsense.

Is Africa a single country?

Some African countries are doing very well, and some are doing not so well but ok, while some are sluggish but still growing, and some are doing badly and need to improve.

You cannot just paint Africa with one negative brush.



African-Americans moving to Africa has next to nothing to do with the cost of living in America.

They are returning to Africa because of the effects of YOUTUBE, where African vloggers have shown them that the western media has been LYING to them about Africa all their lives.

They are returning because they can see that AFRICA, their motherland, is a FAST-DEVELOPING REGION unlike CNN and BBC's racist, ultra-negative misrepresentation of the continent, which many of you on this forum, stupidly parrot.

The same African you denigrate is the same Africa you now say African Americans are rushing to....you seem confused. Calm down and gather your thoughts.
I understand what you're trying to say, that African needs to believe In themselves and all that but that's not to say things the way they are....that will be dishonest
