China is a worthy match unlike Russia that's threatening the world with nuclear weapons. China can level up quite well in terms if military and economy. But I don't believe they'd match the US. Those studying in Beijing know how far the Chinese government go to import scientific knowledge from the West.

That said, I also do no think it is practical to tell the US not to visit Taiwan. China can threaten US/Taiwan with economic sanctions or wait for the outcome of the meeting to decide how they'd respond. Using force to stop the US from visiting Taiwan would imply they've claimed control of the region already.

Lol... he said "if it was in other jurisdictions". That's his own version of the popular Nairaland expression, "in a sane clime". Anyway, even though what the senator did was shameful, attacking him instead addressing his point is a fallacy employed by those who have no counterpoint.

Nigeria is complex country. A muslim-muslim ticket undermines that complexity. Yes, competence is key, but that's not the only key here. There are other competent Christians he could have chosen from. If it were just about competence, why was APC clamouring for the presidency to come to the South? It's also balance. Likewise, having a Muslim and Christian at the helm of affairs ensures checks and balances. I don't see how anyone would argue against this.

That said, I believe it's up to the electorate to exercise thier power. May the best man win!

This election go sweet o

The war is between Peter obi and tinubu

It is not a war. It is an election.

Over here in Europe

Citizens can decide to remove one particular title from their name and no one has time to criticize you

Nigerians are nothing but hypocrites

I couldn't care less about his titles, but the fact that it's being talked about isn't necessarily a Nigerian thing. He is not just any citizen but a presidential candidate and this is not just any title but a religious one. Even in the western world, it would get as much attention if not more. Imagine the Prince removing his title for political gains. Or have you forgotten how Obama's wife was criticized for straightening her hair? Something as flimsy as a hair style was considered politically motivated to please the white community. Removing religious titles would be treated as such. The reason is not because people don't have the right to remove thier titles. It is rather because when such a move is made by a public figure, there's always a side that feels disregarded.

I have a feeling the husband supports Obi. This might be his way of telling people where his loyalty lies.

Angelfrost:
Mr. Rufai messed up, but why the use of unnecessary force when he didn't resist?!!

Why are Nigerian policemen always quick to pull their guns and pistol-whip people?!! What if the guns accidentally go off?!!

The PRO clearly stated that he resisted though.

Mine is, since he was willing to pay the fine (according to him), why the arrest?

cococandy:
houses do. But apartments may not.

I see.

lexy2014:
Which zoo are you asking him to sell the animal to?

He said there's a mini zoo near his place.

Houses don't come with washing machines over there?

It looks beautiful and I already like your mum for suggesting you keep it. People that like animals are mostly nice people. However, if you can't provide its needs, please sell to the zoo people or even give it to them. That's the best you can do for it. I'd have suggested you return it to its environment, but going by the way you described the area, I believe it's a straight baby and wouldn't survive out there.

Nice... let's see what Nairalanders got to offer.

Where are the several reasons?

Omihanifa:
She’s just doing damage control. Everyone knows Alex nah either gay or toy boy to a sugar mummy. Apart from these two reasons, nothing else can make that girl to leave him.

If you were so sure, you would have known which one exactly. You guys just take rumors and stamp them as facts. Nawa o

Beautiful

PerfectStranger:
This simpPLE man again

Men were not created to be soft. That’s a feminine thingy. Wills should take his L, keep his apology and man tf up.

Africans and thier toxic masculinity. It takes a lot of courage to make such a public apology. Everyone messes up once in a while but only a few have the guts to acknowledge it and apologize. There's no point hiding under masculinity.

If it was a lady that did this, the entire gender would have been called unprintable names today.

Papichulostunne:
Guy that is your own cup of tea.. If i don EX you I don EX you. If she like be happily married to Billgates or Aguba she's no longer my concern. I wont lose a night sleep to that.

No be fight. No vex, iron man.

willyo:
"No soldier died. Rather we neutralised 50 of the terrorists and recovered one pistol and 3 expended cartridges"- DHQ Spokesperson

That'll be next their line... Hypocrites

Neutralize 50 terrorists and recovered a pistol? Lmao. What then did you take away from the other 49?

They don't want to see the other person happy with someone else. People get jealous even after they've quit the relationship. Seeing someone who left you happily enjoying life with someone else might hurt your feelings and even make you dislike the innocent third party. That's why it's good to stay far away from your ex.

Not sure bringing politics into the show is cool. Fans will be divided based on political affiliations instead of individuals.

They're not supporting Peter? Hhmm...

1Alex:
So I will wake up one day travel to Mars, pay $5m to sleep in the hotel. Then after that, what next? Come back to earth or go where?

It's same thing as saying,.. Wake up one morning, withdraw $10m from my bank and throw it away.

Have you viewed the planet earth from a distance before? Those who have say it's a life changing experience. It's like coming back from death. When you see how small this earth and everything we fight for are from a distance, material wealth and geopolitical divisions become less significant to you.

This is the height these billionaires aim to reach. They're constantly searching for that sense of fulfillment that comes when you've seen it all. You call it a waste based on your financial level and your order of priorities. You're probably thinking of the investment you could make with the money, the people you could help or even more fun activities you could do with it. But the people in question can pay the $5m and still do all these. When expressed as a percentage of their worth, it may be just as expensive as you buying a new phone. If it were N5m, I would go.

Smithkafors:
Nice one, all hands must be on deck!. We must rescue Nigeria. The country is bleeding...... Let no one deceive you on who and who to campaign for!, if it means campaigning in shrine for the right candidate so be it!.

Wow... the image you shared is saddening. What exactly did Buhari do for Nigerians?

Will that not distract our youth from discussing our national issues? Or is it only BBN that distracts?

Youngwiz71:
To those who watch the show....

1. After watching the show how do you feel??

2. what are the thoughts that runs through your mind when/after watching it??

if you can answer this questions honestly to yourself then you'll know if the show is good for you or bad for you...

to me it's very bad, I have never watched the show on tv before, I just decided to follow a very little of it(for last season) on Twitter on some pics I was seeing on Twitter on nairaland as well and that has been enough to convince me I need to stay highly and far away from it....

The feel the same way everyone feels after watching any form of entertainment they enjoy. And what goes through thier mind is the same that go through your mind after watching a movie.

BBN is a bunch of people leaving together. Sometimes, they flirt. But majority of the time, it's one game or the other. You wouldn't know this if you don't watch it because the only things bloggers and others want to share online are the flirting part because they know that draws a lot of traffic. However, even the so-called amorous part is nothing compared to what y'all watch everyday in movies and Nigerian music videos. If two people must touch each other or do stuff, it's always under the sheet. Viewers don't see shit. So unless you don't watch films or music videos, I'd say there's nothing peculiar about the show.

The problem here is that Nigerians go out of thier way to criticize things they don't like. People somehow believe thier own preferences make them better than others. They say it distracts people from politics, yet the show doesn't have as much fans as football. They say it contains x rated stuff, but like I said, the movies and music videos you watch have more to offer in this department. Besides, this is the same Nigerians that top PornHub's viewers list. Y'all just need to let people relax in ways that appeal to them. Fun for you may not be fun for me. Do you, let me do me.

No be everything be sex baba ...You can just be friends with her. She cares, that counts bro...And she's honest because for her to open up means she's genuine as well.. Her type is rare. Truth is a vital key of an honest person and its hard to see that in a NIGERIAN lady. I don't know why most guyz like sex. Not everything is sex. Some people can be in your life to help you in one way or the order.
Just so you know, if she was for you, she would have been single.

You can just make it straight with her. All my life, i have never had any lady that is straight forward and genuine. Most of them just want money or good life, fakeness everywhere. Your own even send you 5k, it counts gee...Its like you never see anything sha. I've seen a lady that lied to me that her grandma mistakenly swallowed spoon, just to bill me of 20k for surgery, babe wey e no reach 1week wey we jam oh.... Me wey i be ijaw boy norms. We no dey ever lose guard .

A real Nigga will always know what he want. He never settles for less. You can just be friends with her. That's all... You don't have to date and don't steal another man's babe....e no fresh at all. Relax your own babe will come when the time comes .





As our Ancestors would say "Real Friendship is one of the greatest weapon one can ever have.

When you guys type like this, it makes me laugh. See Nigerian men and honesty.

F4ku:
If Nigerian youths are serious, they should take a cue from Sri Lanka...
The president go hear his impeachment in Liberia.

What a useless Government.

They?

Righteousness2:
There is nothing absolutely wrong with her wearing a skirt. It's the same material, it's the same uniform.

She is not man! And so her putting on skirt is not a crime.

So why did Jesus not put on trousers? Were your forefathers putting on trousers? At what point did trousers become a man's attire?

Meanwhile, the position of the word "absolutely" in your post alters the intended meaning. I'm sure you meant to say "there's absolutely nothing wrong with..."

Samfloxin:
How is this possible? You study philosophy for four years old theology for another 4 years. As in at what age this he start?

I think it's actually is 5-1-2 at least for diocesan priests. You do your spiritual year in-between. That's about 8 years if everything's goes smoothly. This would imply he got into the senior seminary school at the age of 16.

For religious priests, it takes much longer.
