With Trump there's only one of two outcomes to an election...He either wins or it was stolen from him. Such a sore loser.

Bkayyy:
Nice one.
But this guy should consider defecting to APGA before it becomes too late. Atleast to save himself from the inevitable humiliation he is about to receive in the next election under PDP.
Anambra elections are mere formality because the people don't even care to know the candidate APGA is fielding. They just go there and vote APGA expecting to see their new governor for the first on the swearing in day.

You can't be more correct. Anambra state has been sold to APGA , they will just thumb print wherever they see a Cock that's all. Later they will check who exactly it was they voted.

slawormiir:
Damnnn niggarrrr
I know you all will insult the inmate

How are we sure he was guilty of the crime accused of initially

Even if he wasn't guilty does it warrant or justify him killing the neighbour?

conductor266:
They don go arrest random people on the streets come dey parade for here.

Reports of people going about their normal businesses that were arrested as still fresh. One was kidnapped by SARS officers yesterday even with doctor's letter that he had a medical issue and needed to come to hospital for treatement/injection.

This is the same police brutality they've been protesting against for the past few days. Nigeria can never be better.

You are a dangerous person, you lack any form of sense.

Why is it so difficult to ban SARS?

This should be a good one. Long awaited.

Kriss216:
No one should mention Nigeria here please

You just did

YorubaRitualist:
Looks like you are new to nairaland.i will advise you to disturb quoting that disturbed being.it's only death that will cure his madness and he will soon get it

Lolz, thanks Broda, he seems to have been mad a long time.

Enuguplkln:
Cry your heart out. See your yam leg wawa girls. Are these the wawa girl you are yapping about?


[s][/s]

I thought you said Nsukka sand was red. Those yam legs are not standing on red sand. Your are a disturbed man.

Enuguplkln:
Hahahaha

See wawa people, very inferior 3rd class igbos.

You sound like loser who's been dumped by a beautiful Enugu damsel who could not put up with the rot pouring out of your bitter soul and accompanying stench oozing out of your deep stinking breath. But will you blame her, who wouldn't dump you?

Azmanaty03:
I love this man, but for the fact that he can't speak up for Nigerians at their trying times makes something in me pushing to hate him.

Still, Buhari is a clueless relic.

What do you want him to say? Vice Presidency is just a voiceless portfolio. When Namadi Sambo was the VP what did he ever say? Did you ever hear his voice. What has US VP President Mike Pence ever said about anything outside delegatory assignments. Abeg you guys should give the gentleman a break.

By the way I am a confirmed Igbo man...042 boy.

jlinkd78:
US please stand your ground cos it appears this ban threat is already yielding results

This is not the election related visa ban. This is about the immigration ban on Nigeria earlier this year.

Osjaay:
Me i no dey claim that name oooo, na anoda country i dey claim, the insult,fear, facial expression, stigma, embarrassment associated with that name is shameful.

A lot of people will not understand. I just thank God for the few ones repping the country. I know how I feel good when I hear testimonies of one good Nigerian they know somewhere or have met.

It's really embarrassing

The novel coronavirus has infected more than 26.35 million people, with just four countries accounting for over 15 million cases. They are the United States, Brazil, India and Russia — the same four that have been at the top for months. The US surprised the world when it rose to the top spot in multiple COVID-19 statistics, both for the total number of confirmed cases and the number of deaths. Since then, no other country has surpassed America.

But scientists who are studying the pandemic have also identified another surprise of the pandemic. Some expected the African continent to be affected most heavily by the virus, but that wasn’t the case. South Africa stands out when it comes to the number of total cases, with nearly 631,000 infections. But fewer than 15,000 people have died of COVID-19. These figures are puzzling scientists looking to understand how the virus behaves and how it can be beaten.

The hypothesis that poverty should have a significant impact on the spread of the virus doesn’t stand when it comes to the entire African continent. Developing countries like Brazil and India showed that the virus couldn’t be contained once it reached densely populated, but poor, neighborhoods.

Experts expected the same thing to happen in Africa, but it didn’t. If anything, Africa is doing better than any other continent, both when it comes to cases and casualties. As BBC News explains, even if those numbers are significantly underreported, Africa still has it much better than other continents right now.

“I thought we were heading towards a disaster, a complete meltdown,” Professor Shabir Madhi told BBC News. The UK’s top virologist echoed what others must have thought about the African coronavirus outbreak. But South Africa’s death rate is almost seven times lower than in the UK.

Salim Abdool Karim, the head of the country’s COVID-19 response team, told the BBC that “most African countries don’t have a peak,” which is surprising. “I don’t understand why. I’m completely at sea,” he added.

He explained that factors like population density would be a critical factor that would favor the rapid spread of the illness inside the African continent. Crowding in poverty-stricken areas makes social distancing all but impossible, and that increases the risk of COVID-19 spreading.

One hypothesis that can explain the disparity between Africa and other continents concerns the overall age of the population. In general, the population of Africa is younger than in regions hardest-hit by COVID-19.

Another hypothesis will sound familiar to those who have been following coronavirus developments closely. Some researchers have shown that other human coronaviruses that cause common colds can elicit an immune response that could provide protection against COVID-19. South African researchers went to work on that idea, attempting to analyze five-year-old blood samples that were conserved from a flu vaccine trial in Soweto. The plan was to look for any evidence that would explain why the African continent is faring much better against the illness than others. Those samples were compromised by technical issues that put a stop to the research.

But the idea stands. The same crowded neighborhoods that would lead to the quick spread of other coronaviruses may have protected the population from SARS-CoV-2.

“It’s a hypothesis. Some level of pre-existing cross-protective immunity … might explain why the epidemic didn’t unfold [the way it did in other parts of the world],” Mahdi said. “The protection might be much more intense in highly populated areas, in African settings. It might explain why the majority [on the continent] have asymptomatic or mild infections.”

“I can’t think of anything else that would explain the numbers of completely asymptomatic people we’re seeing. The numbers are completely unbelievable,” he said.

But if that hypothesis is true, why have Brazil and India seen massive COVID-19 surges in the past few months? Karim warned that even considering the evolution of the pandemic on the continent so far, Africa isn’t out of the woods. “I’m not sure whether one day the epidemic is going to spread like crazy here,” he said.

Gerrard59:
It's your fault. Is Nigeria the only African country? Why not claim Ghana, Botswana, Gambia or even Liberia? How many non-Africans especially Asians are knowledgeable in the differences amongst African countries?

Anything to dissociate yourself from miscreants, fraudsters, cretins and inherently dishonest people should be pursued to the end.

Lolz, funny but you have a point. Here in the US there are hard working Nigerians esp in the health sector and other areas but mehn these days the criminal ones seem to be getting louder.

One of the questions I dread most these days is 'where are you from?' sometimes I respond 'Africa' and get away with it, other times it continues to 'where in Africa?' and I shamefully respond Nigeria. Believe me, Naija don cast.

Reno like many others made a Valid Summation..

Freeze For me has been an instrument of Devil Knowingly / Unknowingly against the Church.

He has Confused People and led them Astray on Tithes
And He wants to do the same again in Their Homes..

Having said that, the Words of the Man of God which I Believe was spoken out of Anger was not a good one.

You do not know what you are talking about. Daddy Freeze more than anything has been on point on tithe.

Is Hungary advisable for a guy man to relocate to and hustle. Hustling includes arranging for Permanent Residence whichever way. A friend of mine has been invited to the country and is considering it but skeptical of the unknown as Hungary doesn't sound like a common hustle destination for Nigerians.

Anyone who has useful information/advice/rebuke or insults should please feel free to render them here.

Just by the way, I'm frankly asking for a friend not myself.

20 years ago, it seemed like almost everyone owned this legendary mobile. It has been two decades since Nokia formally launched the iconic 3310 mobile phone, a device that instantly conjures nostalgia.

For a fleeting period, this bulky handset was the phone to have. Austere by today's standards, it stood out thanks to its generous collection of bundled software (like Snake) and relatively sophisticated SMS-based chat software.

And that's without mentioning the phone's durability, which inspired both mockery and exaggeration. Legend says that when the nuclear bombs fall, only the cockroaches and 3310s will survive. Though that might be (and absolutely is) completely made up, Nokia's top-selling feature phone proved capable of withstanding the occasional drop or plunge into muddy festival fields.

But while much attention is slathered on the phone's legacy, little is said of its actual launch. From the outset, the 3310 was unambiguously a consumer device, and thus the Finnish mobile giant opted to launch it at an extreme sports event called "Don't be bored. Be totally board." This time we're not making it up.

At that point, the mobile sector was still in its infancy. A survey conducted in the US in 2000 showed that only 28.3 per cent [PDF] of people owned a cellular phone, with a further 11.1 per cent sharing a device with another household member. While cellphones were on an obvious upward trajectory, it's fair to say that the Nokia 3310 helped accelerate that trend, with around 120 million devices sold during its lifespan.

Ben Wood, analyst at CCS Insight and curator of the Mobile Phone Museum, remembers the 3310 well. Speaking to El Reg, he said: "The Nokia 3310 is a true icon in the mobile phone world. Having sold over 120 million units its ubiquity meant that it is a device that many people owned, often as their first mobile phone. This means it generates a real sense of nostalgia which further underlines its status as one of the most important mobile phones of all time.

"The robust design made it almost indestructible in daily use and its ease of use meant that it became a firm favourite with customers. It is little surprise the design was rebooted in 2017 by HMD Global, the company that now licenses the Nokia brand for phones."

The most recent 3310 version apes the aesthetic of the original well, although ditches some of its simplicity for a bevy of modern accoutrements, including a colour display and a 2MP rear camera. It couldn't repeat its predecessors genre-defining success, but it was nonetheless a major win for HMD Global, initially selling out and kick-starting a range of retro-inspired feature phones, most recently the Nokia 5310.

A good product advertises itself.

With due respect, his recount sounds a bit incoherent. Either from poor communication ability or being economical with the truth.

Any president that fixes power supply will have his name printed in Gold and will watch how every other thing falls in place.

Jesus in all his might and glory never owned horses & chariots (present day luxury transport) he only managed to rent a donkey.

half sister

If there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm


last month one of them released a book
same last week Trump lost a loyal brother
now this one, I reject such a sister

Where did you get your 'half sister' conclusion from. For your information she's a full sister to Trump, born by same father and mother (Fred Trump and Mary Anne MacLeod). I don't know how people read and understand things upside down. The report did not even mention half sister.

Use ....shoptomydoor....

Thanks bro

Last year October a friend used one shipping company that claimed to offer cheap, fast and reliable shipping to Nigeria from the US to ship some items he planned to use at home during Christmas. The shipment so delayed that my friend travelled home (Naija) spent the Christmas break and was about leaving for the US before the shipment arrived. The purpose was defeated and he was very disappointed.

I'm trying to ship some items in Boxes from the US to Nigeria and I'd appreciate recommendations of fast, reliable but affordable guys to use.

Thank you

Doesn't sound like a bad idea.

This is not a sea cow, last time i checked sea cows were extinct since the 18th century.
