How can 85kW supply over 400 properties? Even with a diversified load this is well off the mark.

No one or situation is worth dying for in my opinion. RIP man.

Why malcom x?

I just finished reading an interesting book called "I hear my people singing" by Kathryn Watterson. Malcom x is the sign of the times we black people are living in. Therefore, his most famous quote "By any means necessary" is something we might need to go back to.

Too much propanganda to know what the hell is going on.

NIGERIANS OPEN YOUR EYES, THIS MAN ON THE SEAT OF PRESIDENCY IS NOT BUHARI. HE IS AN IMPOSTER FROM SUDAN!!
The cabal thought they would use the brain of how many million people in Nigeria for their own advantage. BUHARI died in London of which the Queen paid condolence to Nigeria. Aisha the wife came back to Nigeria crying. The cables sailed it and got an imposter from Sudan to replace him. One of the promises to Sudan is to graze their cattle in Nigeria. That is why you see herdsmen everywhere now in the Southern Nigeria. Killing our people rootlessly and no body is talking. The presidency cannot do anything because that is what the cabals promise him. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF WHY THE PRESIDENT COULD NOT ENTER HIS OFFICE UPON RETURN FROM LONDON? This is because his fingerprints can not open the presidency office in Asorock. So they lied to the whole nation that it is a rat in the office. So they can get the door replaced. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF WHY THE PRESIDENCY IS RELUCTANT TO THE KILLINGS DONE BY HERDSMEN? BECAUSE THAT IS THE AGENDA AND THE PROMISE MADE TO HIM.
Nigerians should rise up. STOP TALKING AND ACT. THAT MAN IS NOT BUHARI. COMING THIS 2019 ELECTION HE WILL BRING HIS PEOPLE FROM SUDAN AND THE HERDSMEN TO VOTE YOU OUT. WHETHER YOU VOTE OR NOT. HE WILL WIN.
NIGERIA SHOULD DEMAND FOR THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE REMAINS OF BUHARI AND WHY THE IMPOSTER? IF THE CABALS DENY IT. NIGERIAN INTELLECTUALS SHOULD ORGANISE AN OPEN INTERVIEW WITH THE IMPOSTER AND GET THEIR ANSWER.
THIS IS THE PLAN OF THE CABALS, AND THE EUROPE COUNTRIES KNOWS ABOUT IT.
THEY WANTED TO TRY IT WITH YARA' DUA BUT IT DID NOT WORK. NOW IT WORKED FOR THEM WITH BUHARI. BUT I TELL YOU. THAT IS THE HIGHEST MISTAKE THE CABALS HAVE DONE. BECAUSE THE TRUTH DO NOT SINK FOR LONG.
THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT WHEN NIGERIANS START NOTICING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE IMPOSTER AND THE REAL BUHARI. START ASKING QUESTIONS AND ORGANISE AN OPEN INTERVIEW WITH THE IMPOSTER TO DISTRESS HIM AND THE CABALS.
THE TRUTH MUST BE TOLD.
WHERE IS BUHARI?

Lol... there's nothing you won't see on nl

Wtf is going on in Nigeria.

For the life of me, It is unthinkable that in a country of nearly two hundred million that cattle and cattle rearing should be the president’s number one priority. when the economy, unemployment, poor health facilities, education infrastructure are all in their worst states.

In retrospect, the president attitude to the massacre in Benue marked the end of any little favourable views i had about Buhari.

Secondly, it's pathetic that a state governor is having to beg in order to seek protection for his people.
For what it's worth, the whole situation has shown that national police force in it's present form can never work in a multicultural country like Nigeria as it's susceptible to federal abuse. Historically, state abuse are generally more manageable with water tight/black and white laws.

State police formations will be more penetrative and wide spread as well as more community-friendly, relative to the President puppet organisation you call police force.

I don't take that story literally. However, I think the story make an interesting keen observation about human birth (something I can't be bothered to discuss on this thread).

Anyways, what I would say is that painful birth is an exception, not the rule, among the animal community. Humans do have an especially laborious and intense birth process due to the relative size of the human head to the birth canal. Most animals do not have such a "tight fit", and although some species do indeed have a somewhat painful birth experience, most do not have nearly as hard a time of it as humans do.

This is not meant in any way to suggest that the Christian logic as to why we have painful births is correct, but the question is operating on a slightly misinformed basis.

Religion is a personal thing, so each to their own.

Yoruba shall be great again. We do have a rich history.

omonnakoda:
Anyone who knows anything about stocks knows this is simply a correction reaction

many dumped the stocks 2 years ago, bought dollars using their connectionsite in government and when the market crashed they came in again

When your currency loses so much value in such a short time you have to contextualise such performance claims
Now we see why the IF insists we devalued our naira so they can come in and buy these assets cheaply
The stock market is not magic. Ultimately the underlying asset has to deliver value.
Is our economy growing by 40%??
If not then 40% growth in the stock market indicates correction from over correction or a bubble
The real question is what is the growth in the stock market over the last 5 years in real terms

Absolutely agree with this post. Like you said, the recent surge is more an indication of the stock's price bottoming out after the massive selloff. Understandably, I can understand why some folks are very quick to credit the present government.

A lot of posters on this thread are either being disingenuous or ignorant.

This is a really good and interesting letter. Wow, impressed.

Let's be honest, Nigerians are just are bad as the South Africans. You only need to see the handling of fulani herdsmen and the never ending apologist.

This is sad. This lady has a weird body. Each to their own.

What's the reasoning behind this? An igbo man can never be as passionate about Yoruba's affairs like a Yoruba would. This is more like a PR exercise.

FOLYKAZE:


Churches and religious organizations are generally exempt from income tax and receive other favorable treatment under the tax law; however, certain income of a church or religious organization may be subject to tax, such as income from an unrelated business.

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1828.pdf

Considering income tax from donations constitutes the largest percentage of church income, I find it disingenuous of you to lump it together with business sales.
Lagos state wants to tax both income and sales tax which is wrong IMO.

FOLYKAZE:


Is Buhari not paying tax too? He earns salary after tax has been deducted.

And where is the evidence that Yusuf medical bill is offset from tax money? You guys just real out garbage from your anu just to prove a point.

On the principle of equity, the Church and Mosque is a business avenue which must be taxed. In UK, churches and religion centres are been taxed. This is because most full term pastors and bishops are been paid salary. The church earn revenue from every possible means. Either by selling religion items or offering money for special prayers. All these are no different from corporate organizations that render services or Industries that sells manufactured products which are taxed.

The Church property like every other Business properties should be taxed. The Sales revenue and Salaries of Pastors should be taxed too. There should no exception because both Church and it operators earn money. There is money flow that is taxable. These pastors or whatever they tag themselves should pay income tax just like every person. And the church which makes money from the congregation should also pay tax just like every other business or institution

This is incorrect. In UK, Churches and mosques (including other registered charities)are not required to pay tax on donations. As a matter of fact, you can claim an extra 25p for every £1 a tax payer give to the church or mosque.

The whole point is to avoid double taxation as was rightly mentioned by another poster. A better solution is to do what UK does by forcing the churches and mosques to be transparent with their incomes.

HauteReel:


Wow! Your grammar has really improved. You keep this up for five consecutive posts and I promise I'll be crushing on you again. But no dictionaries; don't use dictionaries.

There is nothing more cringy than a dumb pretentious prick. I tell you what, if you are going to troll you need to master the Art.

HauteReel:


You were my NL crush until I realized you had no common sense. Just look atchew!

You're welcome to that view. I'll be more concerned if you had said otherwise.

Madness.

erico2k2:

Western culture you call it. Why are you typing with a.western made phone ? You see how you clip your wings yourself ? You lot are selective in your judgement .

You need to appropriate your reasoning if you can't see the flaw in your argument.

Olemabu:

why do you choose a profession that denies your religious clothing. you had choice.

my religion doesn't let me be a prostitute, so I leave that occupation

hello?

You are having a bad attempt at a cheap shot. Who said I was a Muslim in the first place? I am not in the mood to school you so I'll let you off.

Fyi, my issue is with the inconsistency behind the reasoning of the law.

You don't have to be a Muslim to see that this is a legitimate protest. Defending an adoption of western culture i.e Lawyers wig, rope and dressings, while criticizing an Islamic dress is a master piece of hypocrisy.

Nigeria is seriously in trouble. I mean how dumb do you have to be to post those pictures? North Korea does a much better job at propanganda than some of these Nigerian Politicians.

Nigeria is running on an unsustainable structure.

brodalikeme:
Dollyak, in depth knowledge and analysis of northern polictices and Nigeria in general, but she hardly post tese days. @Dollyak, what taketh your time and passion

Lool. Many thanks for the compliment, but I am not expert on northern politics. Like everyone else, I make my conclusions based on my observations which sometimes can be far from the truth.

Ibukunmer:

The opening post - but I'm happy to discuss that fact.

Morning btw.

Some of it is fact, some of it is supposition. You set the benchmark so in the OP you were also able to say humans are failures.

I'm an optimist, I love life, I love humanity and I love what we have built. If you were to ask me I would say we are doing pretty damn good.

Ibukunmer:

Why pessimism or even optimism - it's fact - deal with it?

Btw, some great replies so far.

What is fact?

In the midst of all the pessimism, I'd just like to point out that as a species we are enjoying the best years ever in terms of health, wealth, food, resources and peace .

One thing that often strikes me is the extent to which we over-rate our own importance. Perhaps only the cosmologists and theoretical physicists come close to truly comprehending what an insignificant blip on the space-time continuum we actually are.

In spacial terms - we inhabit a tiny planet with a volume of 3 x 10 ^ −60 of the universe or 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003%.

In terms of time - we have been here for perhaps 200,000 years or 0.0014% of the history of the universe. The 200 years since the industrial revolution (the period taken for us to **** the planet up) is only 0.0000014%. That is like the last 30 seconds at the end of a 70 year lifetime.

At the other end of the scale we have the religious fundamentalists who believe the whole universe was created for the benefit of humans. On that basis, they want to shorten the age of the universe by a factor of one or two million (and consequently the linear size by something similar). Unbelievable arrogance!!!

We are often told that the shooting of a lion was wrong, but the slaughter of billions of chickens over the past 40 or 50 years is OK as they were bred to be slaughtered.

Its this kind of thinking we are dealing with. As humans, we have bred what was a normal bird, into something with breasts so heavy and wings so small, it can no longer fly. It is now a Frankenstein bird, which serves no other purpose that to feed the burgeoning masses.

This to me, is a far worse crime the killing of a one off lion.

The domestication and selective breeding of animals is probably the first major effect humans have had on earth. The implication of this should not be underestimated and may have a bigger effect on the earth than for instance, the industrial revolution.

But what do I know I guess, I'm a member of the masses.

Spykey:
Nigerian cities look like villages
Nothing to be proud of,considering the amount of wealth we generate, this is mediocre

Here's a photo of a city with similar wealth to
Nigeria's

What's the GDP PPP of dubai compared to Nigeria? You don't need to be a genius to know both are incomparable.

Nevertheless, I do agree those pictures are underwhelming.

Amarabae:
Ok many nigeria cities look beautiful from the air until you land!

Says who? I think the aerial view is just as bad as the ground view.

Yes, everybody knows it has "no binding authority", but truth is the Catalonian parliament -with only the independentists present, and against their own rules and the Spanish laws- approved a law a few weeks ago, according to which they must declare Catalonia's independence if the "yes" won the illegal referendum.
Oh! and as members of the Catalan government publicly declared just 48 hours ago, it would be absolutely illegal if they didn't follow their own laws and declared the independence on Tuesday.
So yes, everybody knows it has no binding authority except the people who have prepared it, and the "laws" they have written for that.


That said, Rajoy is the biggest idiot on earth. The independentists wanted the pictures of the police acting and now they have them. Bravo!
