Mr Trump remains the greatest threat to global peace. The question has to be asked, if a president were a Russian asset, what would he do differently than Mr. Trump? You'd be hard pressed to find an answer.

Every policy position Mr Trump has, seems to benefit Russia in some way. It is alarming that for the first time in over 80 years, the leaders of Europe are having to meet over concerns about the United States president.

There is no purpose, no reasonably thought out objective, no tact nor plan to any of Mr Trumps actions or words. Just plain undistilled chaos. Chaos that seeks to upend decades of established global order and hegemony in pursuit of nothing other than the base and primordial desires of the russian lackey in the white house.

To think that the price of eggs and inflation was one of the reasons why Kamala lost out. But inflation is still on the rise of and eggs in are becoming more expensive yet not a peep from anyone to in the US.

Trump promised on day 1 to bring down the price of eggs and inflation. He has done neither instead he is has been throwing red meat to his racist base.

Can the same proactiveness be deployed by the police to fight Boko haram? It is sad that the army has to clean up the mess that the Nigerian police created in Borno state.

It should be recalled that the Nigerian army arrested Yusuf, the original founder of Boko haram and handed him in cuffs over to the police. A few days later, the police killed him claiming he exchanged fire with them. Exactly how does someone in detention and in a cell get to fire a weapon at officers?

The death of Yusuf is what triggered Boko Haram to engage on all out attacks against Nigeria's security architecture. They initially focused on policemen as targets.

Boko haram as we know it would have fizzled out long ago if Yusuf had not been killed. The question is, why was he killed? Whose secret would Yusuf have exposed that necessitated his death in custody?

Imagine the chairman of the US joint chiefs engaging in such frivolity. Nigeria should be ashamed.

CBN has to pay hacks now for PR jobs? CBN has to use a useless media and advertising practitioner to push the narrative that the useless consultants the CBN governor hired are qualified. Utter rubbish. What are they consulting? The economy is in doldrums. The naira is the worst performing currency for the second time in two years so what is the use of those useless consultants? What do they do to justify being paid 35m monthly per consultant?

The fool is still very much around posting selectively edited news and half truths tailored to make trump look good. An impossible task.

Bet he won't report this. Donald Trump sacked the entire agency tasked with securing and maintaining Americas nuclear weapons. Upon realizing the enormity of what they just did, the Trump administration has been reaching out to as many employees of the agency as they can to get them to report back to work. They have not been able to reach most of these employees.

This is the level of incompetence Donald Trump operates with. Only a blithering idiot supports him.

OP is tired of living alone and wants a man to dump herself on. You go wait tire.

These Are blatant lies and should be disregarded. The republican congressman Scott Perry, a die hard racist, who made this allegation could not provide any proof to back up his claims. Trump wants to shut down USAID so he and his mouth-breathing lackeys have come up with such spurious claims.

USAID has never funded boko haram. I challenge anyone making this baseless assertion to provide evidence backing his claims. The original poster of this topic may be a fool but he can be rest assured not all of us are.

Mr Bruce is a sore embarrassment. Someone of his level of exposure knows that lie detector tests have long been panned and widely regarded as inaccurate. No court of law will admit the findings of a lie detector into record. Bruce knows this. He is just trying to pull wool over the eyes of Nigerians.

Is anal the god you submit to?

70 cows? Do these people know what cow means at all? Here in Nigeria, carry two hefty and huge cows come and the girl mother go even reason to follow her daughter come your house.
But what's with the bathing with cow urine bit? These mudafuckas turned a fetish into a culture.

Natasha has value? Are you serious? 2face has gone from frying pan to fire.

The groom probably isn't too sure of his immigration status and doesn't want to enter the radar of ICE. He knows if he leaves the US, he will not be allowed back in. She probably won't be able to join him over there either. Doing so will draw the attention of ICE and that's not what anyone wants right now.

As much as 85% of course taught in Nigerian universities currently, are obsolete. Nigerian graduates have very little skills that prepare them for the real world. I recently met a corper in her early 30s who had no email and could not send one. Someone had given her heads up of an employment opportunity in UBA and she was to forward some information to a mail the bank provided. She came up blank. She is still unemployed.

Close to a decade ago, Charles Soludo made a statement that most Nigerian graduates are unemployable. People came for his head but was he far from the truth?

Our universities should be blamed for this. I remember in my year one as an economics student in University. My lecturer in a particular course was teaching us from his notes as a student in 1978. I could not help but ask myself that in over 32 years was there no recent development in that particular field of economics? How relevant would something learned in the 1970s be in a dynamic field of study like economics 30 years after? For instance, Laffer curve and supply side economics is still very well being taught in our schools in Nigeria at a time when global events have overshadowed it and rendered it nearly moot. That's why most economic interventions across the globe during the time of corona were more tailored towards boosting demand. I don't think macro-economics as currently being taught in Nigeria has even begun to capture this shift. I may be wrong.

This of course doesn't take away the need for agency on the part of students. Schools can't teach everything. It is on the student to ensure that he or she is well rounded in knowledge acquisition. This can only be achieved when an active desire to read and read widely is present. But social media and its ability to provide quick dopamine fixes makes this very difficult.

Lets not go too far. Take the contributions here on nairaland as an example. Nothing highlights the inadequacy of our university systems like the quality or lack thereof of contributions on this site. Now imagine the larger society.

You are very stupid for bringing zeeworld here.

USAID Funded Boko Haram, Other Terror Groups – US Congressman

US Congressman, Scott Perry, has said that US aid agency, United States Agency for International Development, funded terrorist organisations, including Boko Haram.

Perry, a Republican representing Pennsylvania, made the claim during the inaugural hearing of the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency on Thursday.

The session, titled “The War on Waste: Stamping Out the Scourge of Improper Payments and Fraud,” focused on alleged misappropriations of taxpayer funds.

“Who gets some of that money? Does that name ring a bell to anybody in the room? Because your money, your money, $697 million annually, plus the shipments of cash funds in Madrasas, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, ISIS Khorasan, terrorist training camps. That’s what it’s funding,” Perry said.

According to the subcommittee’s website, it will “actively work with President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency to root out waste, shore up vulnerable payment systems, and fully investigate schemes to defraud taxpayers.”

Perry further cited USAID’s reported funding of $136 million for building 120 schools in Pakistan, alleging that there was “zero evidence” of the schools’ construction.

Perry added, ” If you think that the programme under Operation Enduring Sentinel entitled Women’s Scholarship Endowment, which receives $60 million annually, or the Young Women Lead, which gets about $5 million annually, is going to women who, by the way, if you read the Inspector General’s report, is telling you that the Taliban does not
allow women to speak in public, yet somehow you’re believing, and American people are supposed to believe, that this money is going for the betterment of the women in Afghanistan. It is not.

“You are funding terrorism, and it’s coming through USAID. And it’s not just Afghanistan, because Pakistan’s right next door.

“USAID spent $840 million in the last year, the last 20 years, on Pakistan’s education-related programme. It includes $136 million to build 120 schools, of which there is zero evidence that any of them were built. Why would there be any evidence? The Inspector General can’t get in to see them.

“But you know what? We doubled down and spent $20 million from USAID to create educational television programs for children unable to attend the physical school. Yeah, they can’t attend it, because it doesn’t exist. You paid for it.

“Somebody else got the money. You are paying for terrorism. This has got to end.”

US President Donald Trump has previously called for the closure of USAID, accusing the agency of corruption in a post on his Truth Social platform.

The move is part of Trump’s–and his billionaire ally Elon Musk’s–drive to shrink the US government.

Musk, whom Trump appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, has also criticised USAID, alleging that it engages in rogue operations.

Musk has called USAID “a viper’s nest of radical-left Marxists who hate America” and has vowed to shut it down.

Among other criticisms, which Musk has claimed that USAID does “rogue CIA work” and even “funded bioweapon research, including COVID-19, that killed millions of people.”

Trump said DOGE would “dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excessive regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies — essential to the ‘Save America’ movement. This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in government waste, which is a lot of people!”

You are dumb.

The sad thing is we believe this guy more than our government because we know how corrupt the bastards in the government are.

I think those people are just silly! 2face is about 19 years older than that lady! He is old enough to be her freaking dad! They are making tubaba seem like he is brain dead.

He IS braindead!

20 billion land fraud and you want to use 2 million naira to bribe? That's even less than 0.5% of what you are accused of.

Let this woman get out. This is shameful.

Igbo own Makurdi, Igbo own Itary, Igbo own Ragos, Igbo own Amelica, Igbo own Rondon, Igbo own Blazil, Igbo own Marecia etc


Yet they are the official parasites of the country.

You are an idiot. I am not Igbo.

The ingenuity of the Igbo is worth celebrating. It is not a coincidence that they are key players in the Nigerian economic landscape.

The apprenticeship system they practice had helped countless numbers of young men find their footing. It is commendable.

I was sharing something with my wife recently how a group of young men(all multi millionaires currently) in my location, got thier break. It all began with their boss, an elderly man now. He came to town in 1991 with practically nothing. But he started paper business. He had served in Onitsha but was settled and he moved to our town. He brought two boys with him. They served for years and he settled them. They went on to be even bigger than him with multiple young men under them. They settled those young men and those young men, all less than 35 have huge paper businesses of their own. One of them has a shopping plaza with 64 shops currently. Non of them bothered with formal education but how much education do you need to control tens of millions? With lawyers and educated people at your beck and call?

You will be hard pressed to find any shopping plaza in Makurdi, Benue state that isn't owned by an Igbo man. An Igbo man who set out with nothing really.

Diligent service pays.

That's a poor make up job.

For once, the Muslim world needs to put up a spine. They can't all be useless. The Palestinian cause is a just cause. Will the muslim countries all sit and watch as Israel and the US ethnically cleanse the Palestinians?

The rubber just met the road. It is time Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, UAE and Qatar show some balls. This includes the mouth-breathers in Nigeria. It is time to stand for your own.

Everyone knows Trump is a fool and they are just coddling him. What's 2000 kids when what Trump wants is 2 million Gazans taken away? Like the dumb idiot that he is, he is happy not knowing that Jordan and Egypt will drag this process along till Trump's 4 years are done.
