BRICS rejects Nigeria, invites Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt, Argentina and the UAE to join developing world bloc

The five BRICS developing nations have rejected Nigeria's application to join, announcing it will admit Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt, Argentina, and the United Arab Emirates, a move aimed at growing the strength of the bloc as it pushes to rebalance the world order dominated by the US and western countries.
BRICS - whose acronym was originally coined by an economist at Goldman Sachs, currently comprises Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
BRICS has pledged to address the grievances of member countries over a world order they feel favours the US more than other emerging economies.
The expansion announced on Thursday, August 24, could also pave the way for other countries to seek admission.
Economic sanctions imposed by the West on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine and China's declining relations with the United States are spurring the bloc to turn BRICS into a strong counterweight to the West economically and politically.
"BRICS has embarked on a new chapter in its effort to build a world that is fair, a world that is just, a world that is also inclusive and prosperous," said South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who is hosting a summit of BRICS leaders.
The six candidate countries will formally become members on Jan. 1, 2024. Ramaphosa and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva left the door open to the possibility of admitting other countries in the future.
"We have consensus on the first phase of this expansion process and other phases will follow," Ramaphosa said at a media briefing.
Lula said globalisation's promises had failed, adding that it was time to revitalise cooperation with developing countries as "there is a risk of nuclear war",
United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed, whose country is already a shareholder of the bloc's New Development Bank, said he appreciated the inclusion of his country in the expansion.
This membership expansion is historic,” said Chinese President Xi Jinping, whose nation is the most powerful in the group of non-Western states that represents a quarter of the world’s economy.
“The expansion is also a new starting point for BRICS cooperation. It will bring new vigour to the BRICS cooperation mechanism and further strengthen the force for world peace and development”.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed hailed what he called “a great moment” for his country, the second-most populous in Africa.
“Ethiopia stands ready to cooperate with all for an inclusive and prosperous global order,” he said on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Na so? Does it mean that you don't notice anything in her that pisses you off?😏

There's no relationship where you will not have disagreement or some misunderstandings sometimes, but when they happen, we deal with them, brush them aside and then move on.

Truvelisback:
Good day, fellas. Why do marriages get boring after sometime? 🤔 I.e The love or feelings begin to wax cold or boring unlike when you both started.

This is not my case. I have been married for years and I love my wife more each day that passes by.

Countdown to 9 PM and I'll do it. All it cost is 5h for the small bottle. I will go and get it on credit. My fam will pay for it when I'm gone.

The world is full of fake love. I know once the news circulates that I'm gone they will all act like they care. But I'll be happy that I'm in a better place then..

The truth is that if you go that way, you will never end up in a better place. First, you need to take some responsibility and not see family members as if they owe you anything when they fail to meet up with your expectation. Fight against all odds of life and breakthrough, family will come looking for you. We all have passed through this same faze, many moments that pressured us to give up. Many thoughts of taking our lives because of what we went through, but we resisted and never gave in, and today here we are still kicking and winning.

A Nigerian and foremost Nairalander serving in the US Army, Kennedy Onoriode Ovabore died in 2019 at the age of 44.

Kennedy died on May 5th after a brief illness.

According to his Obituary, Kennedy is survived by his wife and children.


Ovabore was my brother and a beloved Nairalander whose legacy would not be easily forgotten. He helped many undergraduates in his days here and also many Urhobo people benefited from him too


Rip Oniovo... Urhobo Yeruwe

This guy was one of the intelligent guys here on NL in those days. His contributions on many threads were top notch.

JaredH:
how many Americans and Chinese have you seen in your village ?

American and Chinese are in different interior places in Africa where there are resources, they are there extracting them and making use of them (repatriating them to their home soil) , this is because most times these Africans who are the land owners, fail to see, or are unable to extract these resources or opportunities that surround them. That does mean that these Americans or Chinese are coming to Africa because they are indigents or impoverished in their own land.

JaredH:
so why do igbos die in motor accident daily in an attempt to escape to the SW for greener pastures?

Why do Americans and the Chinese come to Africa?

Finally Goodluck Jonathan is free from APC blame game and buck passing. Same Buhari many of you hailed for doing wonders with Nigeria? After enthroning the sane disaster in 2015, 2019 and foisting a drug baron and man who entire life is all about criminality?

God punish you there! Thunder fire you and every idiot supporting this clueless, inept and incompetent government. Awon stupid never tiring blamers and buck passers.Meanwhile APC wants to delivers Nigeria from the disastrous policies of APC.

Exactly what I wanted to say. GEJ is free from blame. APC Vs APC

spagettiluv:
but emeka will prefer to die and be buried in SW rather than leave in alaigbo.
None of your city in alaigbo comes close to Ibadan alone,nah fact

Keep on lying to yourselves while all evidence proves otherwise.

May God help this people. They will still be the ones flooding here to denigrate the Igbos and Southeast on every thread that pops up here. Sincerely speaking apart from Lagos, the Southwest is a desolated land.

I dated this lady for few years... doing our courtship we had unprotected sex.
I later relocated to another state because of my studies....that's how the relationship died.

She later got married

After about [b]13years of not hearing from each other.[/b]...one day my phone rang and behold she was the one...she called to tell me a secret...she said her first child is mine and not her husband's.
That doing our courtship she took in, she tried to abort it but it didn't work out for her, she didn't tell me about it because she knew that i was not ready to father a child at that time.

It was at that moment that she met this guy who is now her husband...the guy hasten everything and got married to her...she made him believe that the pregnancy is his own whereas that's was not the true...the boy is 8years old now.
She said her conscience has been disturbing her that's why she opened up to me.

I told her never to let the husband know about it and let the child be the husband's own....let her just forget everything about me being the father of the child so that her marriage won't crumble.
She has a loving husband and she is blessed with three kids aside the boy.


But she made one comment that when the boy reach 22years she will tell him who his real father is....she insisted. But am against it, i told her not to try it because if she end up telling the boy about it there is every possibility that the husband will end up knowing about it and i wonder how he is going to react towards it.

(Women can keep secret sha)
Please i hope i did the right thing??

The bolded is what I find heard to comprehend. You said you last saw and heard from each other 13 years ago, but the boy you are alleging she said is your son is 8 years now. How possible is that?

According to TapIntoNewark, an online newspaper, Okafor has achieved a remarkable feat by attaining an International Baccalaureate
diploma with a record-breaking 4.625 grade point average (GPA) at the school.

Okafor’s outstanding GPA not only surpasses those of his fellow 2,649 graduates in the Class of 2023 but also sets a new milestone for the entire Newark City public school district.

Such an achievement has garnered significant attention, resulting in over 40 scholarship offers from renowned institutions such as Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Princeton, Penn State, Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Southern California, and Rutgers.

Expressing his gratitude, Okafor humbly acknowledged the privilege and responsibility that accompanies such an honor.

He stated, “I am grateful for the opportunities to attend such esteemed universities and to represent my family and community. I do not take lightly the privilege and responsibility to be among the few individuals selected for such honors.”

Young Oni or Old Oni, we Igbo's don't bow to any mortal man, be you Oba or anything you called yourself. For those Yoruba's spewing trash from their mouth, they are nothing but noise makers, because they Oni of Ife or any other Oba in Yoruba land means nothing to an average Igbo man, they are only kings to Yoruba's not Igbo, you dementated demons should get that into your thick skulls, we owe non of you people any apology. Mad people everywhere.

They are bunch of haters and hypocrites. The earlier they understand and come to terms that they cannot quench the Igbos spirit the better for them. They may even join forces with hell, but one thing I can assure them is that Igbos cannot be subjugated.

Yoruba people are really showing themselves as hypocrites. The h.ate they have for Igbos is too much. Once anything concerns the Igbos, the way they'll always misinterpret it to suit their h.ateful narrative is just something out of this world. They blow everything Igbo out of proportion. They should know that Igbos do not bow for any man.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has disowned the factional leader of the Labour party, Lamidi Apapa.



In a statement released by Chris Uyoh, Secretary of NLC Political Commission, the labour union condemned the action of Lamidi at the Presidential Election Tribunal on Wednesday, May 17, describing it as shameful. The union stated that it was unfortunate that Apapa, was ascribing to himself “a vague status as the Chairman of the Labour Party.”





“The conduct of Mr. Lamidi Apapa at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal today, 17th May 2023, has once again brought to the fore the desperation of certain elements in the political class to deploy all manner of subterfuge and criminality to divide and despoil the massive goodwill currently being enjoyed by the Labour Party all over Nigeria.

It is very unfortunate that Mr. Lamidi Apapa who continues to act lawlessly as an impostor ascribing to himself a vague status as the Chairman of the Labour Party and on the claims of representing the Nigeria Labour Congress, is clearly receiving protection from institutions of the state whose mandate is the preservation of law and order” he said





Ufot said the Labour Party which was founded by the NLC more than three decades ago, confers institutional membership on the NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC).



“Institutional representation of organised labour in the leadership of the Labour Party is at the behest of nomination by the leadership of the national labour centers, or from the affiliate unions or state councils of the NLC and TUC. As at today, the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) and the Oyo State Council of the NLC which Mr. Apapa Lamidi claims affiliation to has completely disclaimed giving Mr. Lamidi Apapa any mandate to act on their behalf in the Labour Party in any capacity whatsoever thus disowning him.

The national leadership of the Congress then wonders who Mr. Lamidi Apapa is representing in the Labour Party” he said



The NLC said the dubious action by Mr. Lamidi Apapa and his cohorts has been sustained by interested political actors in Nigeria whose abiding wish is the death of the Labour Party.





“It is clear that Mr. Lamidi Apapa is a meddlesome interloper who is being used by reactionary forces to deny Nigerians the benefit of an alternative political thought and organisation geared towards genuine national redemption and transformation. The NLC Political Commission wishes to reiterate its earlier statement disowning the so-called factional leadership of the Labour Party led by Mr. Lamidi Apapa.

Any attempt to allow Mr. Lamidi Apapa to foist the show of shame he and his minions exhibited today at the sitting of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal would be strongly resisted by organised Labour.

We urge the Nigerian workers and people to retain its faith in our judiciary as the bastion of justice and the final refuge of the oppressed. We also call on all progressive Nigerians to remain vigilant as the court case by the Labour Party is considered by the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.

Organised Labour as the custodian of the ideology and values of the Labour Party of Nigeria will not sit back and watch conmen take advantage of our name and goodwill to sell the Labour Party to the highest bidder.”the statement in part read

When ExxonMobil wanted to build an headquarters, Bola Ahmed Tinubu quickly made available land in Lekki and as the company treasurer he ensured the building was constructed in Lagos


Now focus on as company treasurer

Tinubu was ExxonMobil treasurer in the 80s

Why do you guys take pleasure in swimming in lies after lies in the guise to defend Tinubu with his many shady personae? Tinudu never worked for Exxonmobil let alone being a treasurer there, Tinubu only worked for company called Mobil Oil which is a small company compared to Exxonmobil which is a multination company.
