BusinessRe: Amazon To Open African Headquarters In South Africa by drakeli: 5:52pm On Apr 21, 2021
9jaRealist:
>
Amazon is primarily a LOGISTICS company...
It was never going to locate its regional HQ in Nigeria (or even Ghana).

Even in the US, it “rejected” SCORES of cities for its 2d HQ...
The notion that every multinational should be located in Nigeria is DELUSIONAL!

What’s this one talking about? What’s your point?

Are you aware millions of Americans are in abject poverty....Jobless with no money and depend on food stamps to feed....Have you been to America before? grin....Don't allow Hollywood/media fool you...You know nothing....
Lol my friend. I live in America. I know what I’m talking about. There are Americans in poverty I agree. But their monthly food stamps, section 8 housing, and their unemployment benefits are all worth more than $1500 put together per month. Plus remember all of them are using iPhones. Yet they are poor by American standard but cannot be considered poor by world poverty index of living on not more than $2 a day that most Nigerians live on. Unless you are talking about the crackheads with drug abuse problems. Those ones cannot make any meaningful thing with their life unless they stay off drugs.

I laugh at your ignorance. In Colombia, Africans who were teaching English are paid $500.

In Mexico, this was a long time, rural areas paid $400, cities paid $600. This was without TESOL.

Keep in mind, these are the prices for Africans. If you are from America or white , you will be paid $900 to $1500.
Americans collecting $1500 per month? Those Americans dey suffer well well o. I’m very sure they are not Americans. Not even Nigerians in America will agree to collect that sum as a monthly pay

My brother, if these allegations are true, then our DSS is a disaster! How did a well known fundamentalist and terrorist sympathiser scaled through security checks to become a minister! No wonder USA is reluctant to sell weapon to us!
You asking how did he scale through security check are a joke just like Buhari that appointed him. Security check in Nigeria? You think you are in America. The only security check process in Nigeria is “who knows who” and nepotism. Once you pass that. You are good.

It’s not possible to have held all the positions he held in the Nigerian police force without committing crimes against innocent civilians in Nigeria. When we all know that Nigerian police has no respect for human rights. That’s crime against humanity. I think Canadia is right in this regard.

Car TalkRe: The Difference Between A Truck Built In America And Europe by drakeli: 10:32am On Apr 04, 2021
SmokedWhiskey:
Interesting topic, but OP you are comparing apples with oranges; The truck in the first picture is a regular tractor truck with a sleeper, the truck in the second picture is a cab over truck. Cab over trucks are used in applications where the driver needs a steeper and better lines of sight on the road in front of him/her. These type of trucks are the preferred type for garbage trucks because for safety reasons, compared with regular trucks where the hood sticks further out, the drivers has better lines of sight looking ahead. It has nothing to do with European versus North American standards, the Europeans have there own Cab Over trucks likewise the Americans have theirs as well.
It has to do with what the op stated. European roads are narrowly constructed compared to American roads. Hence the reason for the truck engine design for proper visibility in Europe. The same reason Europeans drive mini cars compared to Americans driving bigger cars that takes much space on the road. A lot of American cars are not welcome in Europe because of the size. They are too big for Europe roads . I never for once saw any European design of tractor trailer in America because that’s what we call it.

IslamRe: Ruling On Racism And Tribalism by drakeli: 3:45pm On Mar 12, 2021
Lukgaf:
"Racism and Tribalism are against the teachings of the Prophet peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him. The Prophet peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him would rebuke his companions if they ever denigrated people because of their race, lineage, or status. He said: Behold! Verily, you have no virtue over one with white skin or black skin, except by favor of righteousness. Musnad Aḥmad 20885."



Ustadh Ibraheem Albanny
Are you talking about prophet Muhammed that owned, bought and sell black Africans slaves, that said anyone who says the prophet is black should be killed or another Muhammed elsewhere?

If that’s not racism to you, I don’t know what else could be

BadRadio:
Truth is that I am African but I dispise the standards in Africa. Africa seems too primitive, naive and backwards in terms of everything... and I've usually thought of raising my kids the British or American style.


of what importance is an African parents culture and tradition in raising their children the African way rather that the British or American way?


Would it be sensible if a child is a genius in English language than mother tongue.

Are there disadvantages.
Raise your kids the God’s way. Whether African or American way. They will all fail you. Only God’s way will give you peace of mind

Sagtop:
Can you tell us why we use Chancellor, Dean (All Christian terms) in our Universities Instead Of University President and Faculty Chairman as obtained In Western Countries?

Can you tell us why we use Minister instead of Secretary Or Ministry Instead Of Department? Can you tell us why some Nigerian Institution use Greek/Latin (Original langiges of Bible) Words On Their Badge Instead Of English or Our Local Language.

Stop Being Islamaphobic, Get a life
So after all the money you spent sending yourself to school. This is where you have ended it all. Calling English language words Christian words. If Christians today start calling a preacher by the name President, does that make president a Christian word? That’s what has happened with all the words you mentioned above. You are a disgrace to your alma mater. Please go back to school.

For the Greek language and Latin language. Those were the some of the first scholastic language of education before English and French gained prominence. The earliest most prominent and renowned philosophers, astronomers, scientists, physicians and educators were of Greek and Latin heritage. Nothing religious about it. Unlike Arabic that is approved by Allah himself.
