Again, those who are most performative about their religiosity and seeming connection with the Divine are the most hypocritically dangerous - politicians, girls posting Bible quotes, pastors, and motivational scriptures always referencing the Bible.

Bimmarlay, I just saw your post from the screenshot note you mentioned.

No digital tech company has ever publicly admitted it has a backdøōr. It always dance around it.

Google:
- "Apple denies backdøōr";
- "Android denies backdøōr";
- "Windows denies backdøōr".

They all officially deny having backdøors.

Even the VPNs which you think don't have backdøørs infact do.

Apple itself has a privacy clause on its website stating it will give information about its users in some cases. Without a backdoor access, how can they give full user information?

Wasn't Bìtcøin initially marketed as untraceable? In the last coupleof years, we've learnt it's a lie and it can indeed be tracked because of the backdôôr access - Bitcoin can track transactions and identies too of its users.

It takes common logic to understand these things even if one doesn't go full on tech to explain with the jargon.

Bimmarlykay:
For the umpteenth time, Apple has no backdoor.

UK government wanted a backdoor,or to become a gatekeeper themselves but Apple refused because it would jeopardize their encryption globally. The only thing close to "gatekeeping" Apple did was remove ADP in the UK... leaving the users to standard data protection.

What are you on about. All digital tech innovations have backdoors.

When you have issues with your iCloud or Apple and need fixing then call Customer Support and it gets moved up the chain, how do you think they fix the issue?

Apple only said it wouldn't give unfettered access to the UK Government. Not even Android or Kindle gives unfettered access to anyone.

That's why they ask you to request and access in conditionally access.

The FBI seized Tyler Robinson's (Charlie Kirk's assassin) devices and it got access.
Apple cooperated. Discord cooperated. On and on: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5505426-patel-tyler-robinson-charlie-kirk-shooting-evidence-electronics/#:~:text=Patel:%20'Multiple%20electronic%20devices',and%20information%20will%20come%20out.

If there was no backdoor, unless the assassin unlocked it himself, these companies wouldn't have been able to access it.

It's just like bragging your Paypal, Moniepoint or UBA bank account is secured without a backdoor. How then does Customer Support fix your issue, transact from your accounts without you logging in to do so.

All platforms have backdoors, including the VPNs you trust so much.

Notice how I keep including linked from credible sources to back up my claims, everytime?

Bimmarlykay:
So pray tell.

How's it done Hackman?

In all of the public reports, Apple never claimed it doesn't have a backdoor. It just stated it would NOT give the UK a universal access without Apple gatekeeping.

The issue is, the UK doesn't want to keep going to apply to request access for individual cases - it's wants unrestricted, 24/7 access which Apple is against. Even Meta and X do not give universal access.

Please read all the court proceedings and reports again. Apple never claimed it doesn't have a backdoor.

semid4lyfe:
I read about Dave Chappelle on this thread and next thing he's appearing on my TikTok FYP. The algorithm is...,..

LOL. Your browser. You're signed in to your Gmail account which is likely the same signed in on your TikTok. Your keyboard reads screens too and analyzes passwords. Both browser and TikTok have access to keyboard, Gmail and other features.

The biggest scandal to that effect which made the news was Swiftkey keyboard in 2016 or so.

Now tell me if we were is planning a mass terrorist act, these apps wouldn't read them then share our data/chat, iPhone or not.

Bimmarlykay:
Diss.troy i was about to say something similar,i feel Meta even sells infos to these market research companies,Meta will compromise and do anything for money,trust instincts.

Iz.zou trust TTk at your own peril.

Chinese can't be trusted.

I already stated this. All apps and platforms which allow advertisement certainly steal your data. Including Google which displays ads to you. And Google is fully embedded in the ecosystem of things. Gmail, Google account, YouTube... See it now? You use these daily, right? And you granted them full premission on your iPhone.

Didn't I mention yesterday Apple is outsourcing its AI development to Google? Google will now have access.

And Alphabet, Google's parent company, plays ball well, especially with governments. It will help governments suppress details in searches even and has been charged several times to court for this.

See the link? With all the apps on your phone and permissions you granted those apps, you practically allow them read your messages, calls, files (through your storage/file manager)...

Bimmarlykay:
Yoi ain't getting the point.

The FBI has a way of bypassing security, and it usually involves physical access to the phone or device or stuffs.

There is no backdoor; Apple does not have a backdoor or master key that the FBI can access. For the umpteenth time, the UK government has its own agencies like the FBI but is still struggling to remove these protections.

For example- if I use iMessage to threaten the UK government, their intelligence agencies won't be able to see the messages if Apple can't access them. No backdoor can help them unless they have physical access to my phone or something similar. Do you understand now?

You are not getting the point. The point is, these tech companies conditionally share your details.

This is the US FISA, for example, used a cover to do so. https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-investigate/intelligence/foreign-intelligence-surveillance-act-fisa-and-section-702

It's the premise to access your phone remotely .

Again, you give your Facebook app, X, Gmail, geolocation access, and other accesses on your iPhone and you think these apps don't read your details on your iPhone? You gave the apps (and their owners by extension) permission themselves.

Heck! You give Message and Phone Access too.

Do you have Truecaller app on your phone? Check the permissions you gave it. Bingo!

It's already established that platforms like apps snoop on you and listen to your conversations, partly for personalized ads. Why do you think they don't share those conversations and data with third party security like they already share with advertisers?

I could go on and on. You can confirm these things to see if I am making them up.

Bimmarlay, also read this Guardian article: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/sep/22/ice-palantir-data#:~:text=Another%20told%20Ice%20agents%20they,to%20a%20request%20for%20comment.

Towards the media in purple highlight you will see this: "Another told Ice agents they could enhance their investigations by using phone numbers or names extracted from phones the agents unlocked using technology from Cellebrite, an Israeli forensic software company that has had a contract with ICE since 2019."

ICE agents unlocked with an Israeli software. Phones and gadgets including Apple products.

Everything has a backdoor.

Point is, the day you became a Person of Interest in on certain radars, your IPhone login will be given out in seconds.

Bimmarlykay:
Dis.stroy.

Apple won't share even when required like that.Government can only access third-party apps and its not Apple sharing it to them it the apps creator,

Apple requires concrete legal documents from the government; if Apple deemed them "not okay",they wouldn't release the data. It's exactly why the UK Government wants ADP and stuffs removed.

It's the same "concrete legal documents" Meta asks to share your details with the Nigerian government.

Also, the US government has had warrantless surveillance in place for years.

If I didn't post the link I posted yesterday, would you have believed Meta is legally required to share details with government? Mark Zuckerberg will never post it on his page or Meta doing a public showing of it.

----

FBI boss admitting it is spying in 2019: https://www.voanews.com/a/fbi-chief-breaks-with-boss-on-use-of-term-spying-/4907405.html . How do you think it does that without tech companies sharing details?

Also, do check out the top VPNs most people use. If you dig through the layers, you find out they are tied to Israel and the US, and the security agencies of both countries. Don't take my word for it - find out.

Have a Messenger chat about harming a PØTÜS today and see if your account won't be flagged.

Even Meta has admitted WhatsApp now has openings to read messages and feature ads. That's a bad door.

And your apps have permissions, don't they? Your answer.

Even Elon Musk three weeks ago on the Joe Rogan podcast said, it'd be stupîd if his messages aren't being read already. Elon Musk uses iPhones.

Everything has a backdoor.

Your company's web developer can read your emails from the CPanel... without your password, even.

SeriouslySense:
You dont even understand Christianity

LOL. If you've read Christian theology and Biblical history beyond what your Papa-in-Lord told you on the pulpit and the 66-book abridged version of the Scriptures that is the modern Bible, you'll question many things too and find plot holes.

Nothing is a given. Just ensure you spiritually commune with the Being you believe in, even if it's for the placebo effect.

Or just accept the only thing thing certain about life and what we believe is life itself. Everything is a maybe.

Hell, Heaven, and other things in between both beyond-mortality extremes are not certain.

The whole point of life is in the living. Just live it.

We are megalomaniacs who think we deserve some special place because of the hypocritical reward-inducing good things we did as mortals.

You'll dîe and you'll rot. Those two are certain. Every other thing is debatable.

This is Dave Chappelle "Killing Them Softly' from 2000.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qGd6KXh_ig?si=D2uMNu3NhO_M-DA-

Compare to more recent ones like " Equanimity" and " Deep In The Heart of Texas" and you'll realize, the more he ages, the better his comedy. But at the very core, still the same guy addressing issues most people are too scared to talk about. And he'd make you laugh while doing it.

Bombblacks:
There's a reason conspiracy theorist are claiming Dave is cloned. You can't watch the old Chappelle and claim this current version is even funny. My issue with Chappelle nowadays is all of his material is framed around this idea that everyone is dying to hear what his perspective is and he is reluctantly giving it.

But that's the truth. He's an observational comedian at the highest level. People actually beg for his takes. He himself has said it's the reason he doesn't use Twitter. During the Lockdown, they were begging for his take so much venue owners made an exception for him to do his routine and it sold out with people actually attending... inspite of the restrictions.[/quote]

He should start a podcast if he wants to lecture.

Joe Rogan is the most influential podcaster - not streamer, podcaster - in the world who has on the biggest names from Elon to Trump to Nvidia boss.

Joe Rogan has said having Dave Chappelle on his podcast 5 years ago solidified his place as a podcaster to be taken seriously.

Dave rarely goes in podcasts or grants interviews. Yes, he's that influential. When he does or even coughs, it's headline news.

Its not just Chappelle, kat Williams new stuffs are below expectations compared to then, bill etc Political correctness have ruined comedy to some extent.

Katt Williams? Katt Williams just goes on and on about hood culture and is a crab in a bucket. And why the hell would I want to listen to a grown Black man fixing wigs and wearing jewellery like a retired Allen Avenue coochie-for-hire? Even Ali Siddiq is better than Katt Williams.

If Katt isn't bûllying BLACK comedians who have smaller platforms, he's calling those who are more established "industry plants" out of envy.

What did Kevin Hart and Chris Rock say recently? "Dave Chappelle is way up there at the very top." And Dave Chappelle smoked them at a standup all three headlined. Please confirm. He outshone all of them as the most intelligent.

"Dave Chappelle use to be funny."

Dave Chappelle in 2004/2005 before he left $50 million on the table and took a hiatus because he didn't want to be beholden to any corporation or his jokes censored. The video was uploaded in 2014 but it's older than that.

Watch to the end then tell me if it's any different from Dave Chappelle of now. He's even more rounded now but still the same guy.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxhG3H2-EIE?si=aG0sXBKSndDNbKAi

His punchlines are always at the very end (you'll laugh at intervals though). It's called The Weave - round and round, then you realize every joke was interconnected all along; moving parts of the same engine.

Bombblacks:
Chapelle was insanely funny when he was doing comedy. If he ever decides to start doing comedy again, am sure he will be great. Recently he's more of a preacher and lecturer. He takes himself way too seriously and thinks he's some kind of philosopher.

He didn't take himself too seriously - people gave him the crown.

And he's one of the few top comedians who roasts everyone. When it was unpopular to do so in 2016, he roasted Hillary Clinton and said Trump will win. Analytically dissected her and her husband and why the media deceives them.

And he roasts everyone - from Liberals to Conservatives to the "Alphabet-people" (he popularized that term) to Christians and Muslims (he's a Muslim but most people don't know) to everyone.

He was one of the first to say Jussie Smollett was lying about being attacked by MAGAts before the later was officially found out. Dave analyzed it scene by scene and how it would have been impossible for anyone wearing a MAGA hat to walk down streets of Chicago in 2019; not to mention two men wearing such hats. But he did so in an extremely funny way which had the audience rolling. Again, watch the clip or full standup from 2019.

Dave Chappelle has always been the same from his SNL days to back in 2004. Go watch on YouTube. His style is observational sociopolitical commentary. It has always been.

He's funny until he makes fun of issues or people you hold in high regard, but he trolls everyone, including himself. And even in your angst, you'd realize he's stating the facts in a way which makes people laugh and uneasy at the same time.

Bimmarlykay:
Where'd you classify Brain Jotter?

He does skits. The first time I encountered him years ago, it was "yansh, yansh, yansh" so I muted his page. Millions of views but didn't excite me.

Then I recently happened on videos of him campaigning on issues like môléstation, genotype, and religious deception... They made more sense than he use to do and he's being taken more seriously. Certainly more seriously than Sabinus and his type.

Dezny might be the better example of very intelligently delivered observational satirical skits-making you're looking for.
------

But I was focusing on stand-up comedians.

Then ONLY stand-up comedian we have who can do anything close to the Michael Che and Trevor Noah is Bovi - intelligent, historically aware of global socio-politico-economics and does his research on issues.

The others are just "E get one guy for our area ehn", "Women get power o. My wife say...", "Halleluyah. We dey this industry 38 years... Kikiki". What the eff is that in 2025?!

larride:
He just wants to laugh man, not to be doing thesis on a joke.

Then stick to your Sabinus and I Go Dye. Simple.

It's the same way I don't find them funny and find their comedy simpleton-esque.

Dave Chappelle is extremely funny and that's why he sells arenas and has more influence than even some politicians. Even Professors and Scientists defer to Chappelle because his jokes are extremely intelligent. Same people will sneer at the comedians you like.

It's the same way many of us don't rate some of these musicians' works of art but some of you will sleep through a classic Bez Idakula or Jon Bellion album who are actual artistes with intelligible lyrics.

Some people only find intelligent jokes funny while some need clown acts to laugh.

And anyone who considers Dave Chappelle's jokes as theses is dûmb! Well, anyone easily excited by the most banal things is. If you consider intelligent jokes a bore, a bouncing tire will amuse you.

TemporaryHansel:
There's nothing funny about Dave Chappelle.

People who understand Dave Chappelle need to be historically aware in a gazillion ways, pick up cues, understand sarcasm, the ability to weave multiple talking points to land punchlines, and a thousand other literary terms.

If you want a jëstër, try Kevin Hart or the many happy-go-lucky "E get one guy for our area" comedians we parade in Nigeria here.

Dave Chappelle, Jimmy Carr, Trevor Noah, Josh Johnson, Michael Che... Even Bill Burr. These are solid observational comedians with philosophical takes who are exceptionally brilliant.
These are the ones I binge-watch on YouTube in picture-in-picture mode all day on PC while working or leisuring.

Nobody who enjoys such comedians would dabble with the simplistic Sabinus and the likes.

People who know and have such exquisite taste in social commentary will laugh at you for saying so.

I guess you won't sit through the 3-hour-per-episode almost bi-weekly Joe Rogan podcasts then, or the two-hour-long Trigonometry podcasts.

Bimmarlykay:
Facebook is arse, Google/Android worse,reason I'll still respect Apple and its ecosystem.

Apple literally has guidelines published on how to request access to apple phones and the Cloud by the Government and law enforcement agencies: https://www.apple.com/privacy/government-information-requests/ .

If you think Apple doesn't share your details when required, I have two hectares of land at Banana Island at #350,000 to sell to you.


Also, Apple last month granted Google the right to infuse into its ecosystem to build Apple AI. If your iPhone uses AI, Google now has access. Apple AI is subcontracted to Google

Oh! You use Google Chrome and signed into your Google Account while accessing Facebook, X and WhatsApp, right? Bingo!

We are approaching the Singularity, man - everything is one thing.

DissTroy:
About anonymity, on Monday I was sharing with a WhatsApp group a report I had posted months ago on another platform.

Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and X are legally and conditionally required to share your details with the government on request.

Meta, for example, publsihes a country by country Meta Transparency Report quietly on a subdomain most people don't know about.

The Government asks and gets granted access to details of persons of interest, including our Government.

Check the one for Nigeria here: https://transparency.meta.com/reports/government-data-requests/country/NG/ .
Filter to see the historical data of Facebook giving your details to the government.

Anyone who thinks he's anonymous and can't be tracks is as naive as day-old puppy.

This is also why I believe if the government is serious about insecurity, it can end it in weeks.

Bandits go live on Facebook and TikTok. The government can request access to their details and accounts. Meta is technically required to give it to them on national security reasons.

The FBI was granted access to the Discord account of the Charlie Kirk assassin and that's how those who ploted it were investigated and the evidence to nail them.

Nigeria can get access too if we are serious.

Anonymity is an illusion. You're only as anonymous as the toes you haven't stepped on yet so honesty and civility are the best bet.

bassdow:
when you and your partner rarely share similar music genres, movie types, hobbies, interests, etc; you end up being lonely even while married and even while in the other room, it's more of push-pull-dump and it's over

You don't even need to have similar interests. At least being mentally stimulating is enough.

I'm into slow, acoustic guitar songs and alternative music. The fast-beat Nigerian music doesn't move me.

I binge-watch ISS videos on NASA's YouTube page every other week of the earth, space and images from the Mars Rover.

I'd spend hours watching how constrictors and other snakes hunt on YouTube and how driver ants and red ants are dissimilar then go down a rabbithole reading up on space-time continuum and medieval history.

I'd rather watch a movie like Interstellar or espionage ones like Jack Ryan while deviating to read about the Norse invasion of England and Ireland, and etymologies of proto-Germanic languages. I find cuddling up watching Nigerian movies a bore with all the plot holes .

I already know it'd take forever to find a woman like me so I accepted reality to be with someone who at least mentally stimulates me, revels in her femininity, and plays her supporting role well.

Most men don't demand much of their women.

Dümb things! This is where you'll see them.

I do not understand how men are mentally stimulated by some of these women who are so superficially oblivious that they are only concerned about 'cruise', makeup, and other happy-go-lucky things.

I understand quick sex but how do some men marry such women? How is the bedroom talk going to be like?

And no other race hates its own features like Black women - wigs to hide their hair, contact lens to change eye colour, make-up to change skin tone and alter the contours of their noses...

Theflint1:
This was oddly precise

It wasn't deacon though, it was pastor, and Ukraine from what I heard.

Iyin Aboyeji's father's church use to attract a lot of Doctors back then for some reason. Every branch, every children/ teenagers' conference and camp during the August long holidays, every Deacon in the branches... I can't explain why.

So I've thought about it like, 'So Dr. [Komolafe] was...? Was he? Wow!' Yes, it's oddly specific.😅

Theflint1:
Lol, it was the link you posted that actually solidified my position.

Once again, a CMD earning 3.5M yearly from the government as at 2011 (basic+ allowance), could afford to sponsor university education for two kids in certain parts of Europe and America if he had private practice that matched what he got from the government.

The good thing is, even the Doctors here who were practicing around that period have questioned the veracity of the claims you are making.

The real question we should be asking is why a 300 Level undergraduate of Business Administration working remotely for Indian and Polish startups as a Web Developer earns (comparatively paltry as the pay is and as a Junior Developer) more than what a CMD in Nigeria earns today annually.

Or why a Doctor, on the average, earns less than an SEO Copywriter on Upwork, even when the latter takes on Nigerian/African clients.

MonsieurCoder:
School fees for both kids $12k/year, in which University in the USA?

TheFlint1 is a hardened 'agendrist'. I wonder why Bayo Onanuga is not getting tips from him. I respect his focus on his agenda though, like the Japanese soldier who kept fighting after Japan surrendered.

I presented the facts, including links anyone can verify but he's still trying to rationalize it.

I guess it's easier to argue what's obvious than accept the realization that your Deacon, a medical doctor, in children church who had kids in the U.S. back then he was paying their fees was likely a corrupt Deacon.

I have accepted that likelihood too for the many high-ranking civil servants we knew back then. Some even had group of schools they built from scratch and it has me asking how much each building must have cost since they weren't up to the level of even Perm. Secretaries.

I also agree that Wike's father owned companies which he inherited like he boasted on live television which explains why he can purchase mansions from Omoku to Florida.

A Yahoo Boy record label owner with 4 signees who have less than 100,000 listens on Spotify and 26,000 Youtube views performing at university departmental nights can afford to buy houses in Banana Island, fund Nollywood actresses, and splash on cars.
Maybe he sells Habanero pepper on the side to celebrities, and we don't know.

We keep trying to explain away what is obvious.

Theflint1:
You've left numbers and embraced conjecture


Yes, doctors have always striked, doesn't mean there wasn't a time when things were better than they are today, with as much or even less strikes sef

You referenced 2006ish. I focused on that period. I can't speak for the 80's or times past. The document publicly available - which I shared here - only shows from 1998.

Doing another job alongside your government work has been frowned upon since forever, but it has never stopped government workers from those selling melon, clothes, jewelries, land, private medical practice and even ghosting totally.

I have given you the numbers and the links. I have shown you how the meal allowance per annum was #10,800 per annum in 2006 for CMDs. Again, it's on page 82 in that link. Stop hopping across different time periods like a mudskipper in the same argument.

Doctors earned better than other civil servants on average, but not enough to have funded forays for their kids into schooling abroad in 2006ish. Not with the forex rate weight against annual salaries.


I agree. Mr Faruk was dealing in scorpion venom and 'mercury' from grandfather clocks, too.

Even private practice was frowned upon for civil servants back then because of assumed divided loyalties. To navigate this, a few would work in , say, Ikeja then own a medical center in Sagumu or Adalemo or Ijoko. No social media then so it was easier to keep it under the hood from your PPA.

NMA and JOHESU went on strike so muchm they were the most prominent bodies going on strike. Forgotten those weekly press conferences and videod protests you watched in the evening before Papa Ajasco and SuperStory came on? I remember because it use to make for small talks with the grown-ups while I just watched TV but all was within earshot.

I don't even know if I can't fault those CMDs remembering what I do about how the government treated them. But, still, to fund their lifestyles was no way bankrolled by their salaries alone.

Theflint1:
Of course most of these doctors don't just do their government work and keep it at that, they usually have private practice which would pay them as much if not more than what the government was paying them...this will bring that yearly income to 46K. With some sacrifice, he'd pay that 30K and live off the remaining 16K.

Priavte practice was not always legal as a civil servant. If caught... Work in Lagos then have your private practice in Sagumu or Ijoko. No social media then so you could hide it to some extent,

If we take back to 2006, exchange rate was lower, and school fees abroad would have been a bit less too...that formula would have worked even then.

Exchange rate between 2006 and 2011 wasn't much. #132 in 2006 and #165 in 2011. Okonjo-Iweala tried on inflation, I digress.

And in 2006, salaries were much lower. I think minimum wage was reviewed twice in those 5 years.

I done the analyses over and over, and not just on this thread. I've been having debate for a long time on other platforms.
