A lot of the US budget is on research and development. A sizable proportion of costs could be inflated due to the military-industrial complex. The big defence contractors like Boeing and Lockheed Martin. 22 Likes 1 Share |

Lmao. It seems the advantage and disadvantage is what makes Lagos. The advantage is that Lagos attracts the best and bright people with ambitions. The other side is that Lagos attracts the wrong ones also, whether they be criminals or lazy people. Lagos will always have unproductive people as they will always move from their respective states. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

Politics / Re: David Hundeyin Explains Why He Hates Nigerian Elites by drips8(m): 2:00pm On Nov 05, 2023 |
Nigeria is dysfunctional society. Everything about the country is wack, a very poor yet corrupt nation with citizens that have been brainwashed just to accept the status quo. Explains why are Nigerians are very religious and resilient, the resilient part is actually due to our docile nature and ability to accept anything the government throws at us. The politicians have also succeeded in dividing us across ethnic and religious lines and people keep falling for it. The Nigerian dream now is to either Japa or own an overpriced piece of property in Lekki, and buy a foreign used Mercedes or Range Rover at any means necessary. 2 Likes |

BRICS is just a non performing organization, zero obligations. No military operation, no trade organization or requirements for participation. It's still largely ineffective, but things might change sometime. 22 Likes 2 Shares |

Politics / Re: How Did The West Colonize Africa? by drips8(m): 8:25pm On Apr 28, 2023 |
They initially ventured into foreign lands for trade, but they grew stronger with mercantilism aided with slavery, capitalism and the preceding industrial revolution. They made more money and in turn had more time and resources for scientific and technological endeavours. Then they needed more resources but rather than trading, they seized the resources (Africa) forcefully. |

Politics / Re: Was Kwara State Originally A Yoruba State by drips8(m): 11:00am On Dec 27, 2022 |
AirFireEarthH20: I don't know how he became head of the traditional council. I think he was elected, but the traditional council doesn't meddle in the politics of the state, they have only been active with mundane things like the traditional rulers allowances or the usual goodwill messages, and there are other first class king in the state. The Emir is subject to the governor same with other rulers, the Emir could always try to influence the governor but only if the governor agrees. The governor could but doesn't have any reason to remove him, unlike what happened in Kano. The Emir is only important in the Ilorin Emirates. |
Politics / Re: Was Kwara State Originally A Yoruba State by drips8(m): 9:30am On Dec 27, 2022 |
Plus10: Nah, they migrated there in the 1800s and now are mostly mixed, they only claim Fulani for politics so that the actual ones from the core North would recognize them. |
Politics / Re: Was Kwara State Originally A Yoruba State by drips8(m): 9:27am On Dec 27, 2022 |
AirFireEarthH20: This is false, there is the Kwara state traditional council which the Emir I think was elected to and heads, but other than that he has no authority over the people. The people of Ilorin respect the Emir and this is due to islam, but not the other Yorubas. A person from Omu Aran, Offa or Ekiti doesn't care for the Emir. Same for a Nupe person from Lafiagi or a Baruba from Kaiama. The true man in charge is the governor, the only reason the Emir seemed important was due to the Saraki's family influence, the current one only ascended due to the elder Saraki and honestly considering Kwara state's history he was the top dog but currently the family's influence is waning. 5 Likes |
Politics / Re: Was Kwara State Originally A Yoruba State by drips8(m): 7:38am On Dec 27, 2022 |
The state is multi ethnic one. Yorubas are the majority (12 LGAs) mostly in the Southern part. Followed by the Nupes (2 LGAs) and Barubas( 2 LGAs). The Fulanis are only found in Ilorin and they're mostly mixed with Yoruba, people like Dele Belgore and Saraki. The current governor and his deputy are both Yorubas, he just happens to have Arabic names, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq and Kayode Alabi. Ilorin is the capital and most popular area, so when some people try to describe Kwara, they're actually describing Ilorin. 4 Likes |
