Hello Guys,

I want to make an appeal.

This is "Striker Arab". He is a Nigerian soldier operating in the North East against the Terrorists ravaging our country.

I usually go to his page to see battle field images.

I've never met him before and he did not ask me to do this.


I went to his page today to see images as usual and I came across this heart wrenching video. His mother is sick and needs a kidney transplant.

I cried when I saw the video.

Please we can use this platform to support him, let us donate, no matter how small. Even if it is common 2k or 5k.

These soldiers are also ordinary people like us..


Kindly click on the instagram link to watch the video and support. Please. Thank you all!

The most important thing is to contain the existing number of cases we have already . If the cases overwhelms our medical professionals, we are finished . Except for God's intervention.

Who will be so dumb enough to sign away the Sovereignty of Mombasa

Your deputy says he was proud to sell Mombasa for a loss-making business grin grin grin

First year and it is already 98 million dollars in debt
Kenyans on this thread don't reason properly most times. Reason why I don't always engage their contributions. They ll see the truth, yet they'll be too sentimental to admit it. When you say, most Kenyans are poor for instance. They'll say "hell no" whereas maybe one of them present on this thread is living right in the heart of kibera.
For South Africans , gosh their case is too complicated.

NIGERIANS SURVIVING WITHOUT A COMMITTED GOVERNMENT

Covid-19: Why Nigerians Must Not Worry But Stay Alive

By Ebiowei Lawal

When I read the news that crude oil price in the international market has dropped to about $11 or $12 per barrel, I was reminded about an interview I watched on the NTA Network Service. That night, the person featured on the interview program was an American born Economist (I have forgotten his name). He visited Nigeria to validate the speculation that Nigeria was actually the Giant of Africa.

In course of the interview, the interviewer asked "you have spent two weeks in Nigeria carrying out your research about the strength of her economy, what are your findings?" He replied "well, I wouldn't say I enjoyed my stay really but I discovered that Nigeria is the strongest economy in the world."

He went on to explain that "I have not said she is the most prosperous economy of the world, mind you. I say so because Nigeria happens to be the largest economy that can survive with the absence of government support except in the area of ensuring security, law and order.

"In America for example, the Wall Street would crash if there is failure of public power supply for two hours. In London the transportation system would fail and there would be huge economic loss if there is power failure for two hours. There would be chaos and breakdown of law and order if government fails to supply water and gas to the people for one week.

"But in Nigeria, the government fails to provide health facility, the people don't complain. Private individuals provide it at high cost, they live with it without complains. The government fails to provide quality education, private individuals provide it at high cost, they embrace it and live with it without complains.

"The government fails to provide electricity for local industries to thrive but when private individuals want to start a business, they use their personal funds to purchase a power generating set and buy fuel at very high cost to run their business then still feel comfortable paying multiple tax to the same government.

"When the government fails to provide public transportation for the free movement of goods and services, in Nigeria a private individual would somehow source for funds to buy a car and convert it to a cab to ensure the free flow of goods and services and at the end pay tax to that same government and feel cool about it.

"So in a nut shell, Nigeria's economy is surviving almost without the support of her government. But take away 50 per cent support of government from the so called great economies of America, England, Germany, France, China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, UAE, South Africa and Japan, their economies would crumble within weeks."

So my take home from this interview is that when crude oil was selling at $65 per barrel before Covid-19 came, Nigerians didn't feel the effect. Rather it is a selected few that keeps looting the money. Now that crude oil is selling at $11 or $12 per barrel, we still do not feel the impact. The only problem of the average Nigerian is the fact that he/she has been deprived the freedom to go out to look for daily bread.

At the end, I believe we shall overcome.

I wonder how someone woke up one morning and created this thread. Seriously.... Of all countries.... Kenya??
Maybe I understand the concept, maybe he was frustrated and he chose liberate, a low life country to try to bring the minds of Nigerians in check by showing them what the Kenyans through their masters has done with borrowed Chinese funds.
But seriously, kenya ain't in Nigerias league. Kenya can only compare with Congo, Namibia etc
Nigerias mates both in history and economy are the north Africans and maybe Ghana politically, , South Africa infrastructurally.
You Kenyans should know ur limits.
At first I was like... What d fuc is kenya.
I've been to a number of places , no one gives a fuc about Kenya. Many people don't even know such a name exists.

Lionessza6:
I used to find it quite odd that white people always wanted to insert themselves in black people's history or pain, but over the past two years I got to understand their psyche better . Everywhere arnd the world tourism centres with torture, and other degrading scenes are mostly visited by them, funded by them etc. When you read about the nature of a serial killer,you will see too many similarities cry cheesy.

About 2 months back ,some people decided to shoot at people in 2 jozi night clubs,one in Melville. Even before the sketch of one of the perpetrators was made public ,I said to a friend " its them , no other race of people just goes around shooting indiscriminately at unarmed people". The samething with the planned terrorists attacks, even though their identities were initially protected by the media, there was no doubt in my mind who it was; white males.

Anyways ,why do you think they have this irrational fear of black males ? For so long its been called hate ,and I really dont think its hate ,I feel its fear. It will sound absurd to others ; " how are they afraid of people they have enslaved " ? I hear them asking already grin. I have noticed the kind of black people they will use all their money to fight ; with N.G.O's, shedding of jobs,smear campaigns,etc. Ever heard of the term " non- threatening blacks "?.

Your take on the " Chinese virus", as trump calls it ?.
My dear it is fear and not hatred. They fear that if left alone, the original owners of power ll take it back . Blacks have everything the whites wish for. Africa as a continent is the best liveable continent in the world. They know the truth and the don't want it to slip out.
All the coups and counter coups in Africa were organized by whites. They try so hard to interfere in African politics. They've messed up our mind to makd them look superior in our eyes while the truth is the other way around. Sometime ago, whites decided to settle in Africa, South Africa, Rhodesia etc but not as immigrants but as lords. They took over power by force and do as they please. Of course, they have another home waiting for them.
They say they granted Africa independence but situations on ground show that africa is still in their grip. Countries like Kenya , Congo and Uganda can't even effectively make their own decisions without being questioned by whites. They made us hate ourslves and engineered it to be in a form of competitions with one another.

Y'all should read carefully and stop being deceived by false stats. Look at the situation on ground. South Africa can never have 95 percent literacy rate now. When their literacy rate was 68 percent some time in either 2008 or thereabout. Is it magic?
U guys gotta use your heads.. U claim developed, high standard of living but when really it's only about the whites minority..

Nigeria is 51% actually.The 62% is an inflated figure.
95 for South Africa is also inflated then and 62 percent for Nigeria is very much deflated cause for all I know most people in Nigeria study to at least the secondary school level. Like over 80 percent
