As someone who's read up on Crypto's, I'm no expert but there's only 3 benefits to crypto. They're all individual level benefits and none benefit the nation, rather crypto hurts the nation

Benefits
1) Speculation and making money on crypto movements
2) Making untraceable payments and tax dodging
3) Hedging against movements in your currency (It becoming stronger/weaker)

These all can definitely benefit individuals but do not benefit the country. They hurt the country through tax avoidance and prevents the setting of monetary policy.

The Abbasid caliphate, CALIPHATE not just empure funded the recovery and advancement of the works done by classical Greek and Romans when Europe was still in the dark ages. The scientists were mostly Persian actually (from the major silk roads cities). Persian excellence funded curated and sponsored by Arabo- Islamic leadership.

Medicine optics etc.and everything the Renaissance was built on came to this modern world by way of classical Islamic civilizations.

If we were to compare then pagan Greco Roman Olympian values are superior since they were the ones from which a great deal of this info was sourced. Or the Mesopotamians since the Greco Romans sourced from them..... regardless, Islam is not a problem. Simple as that.

The caliphate played a major role in translating Greek and Roman works, sure. It isn't Islam though. It isn't like Allah did it. It's a few brilliant and visionary people that happened to be Muslim.

They played a big role in medicine and optics but no, the Renaissance was built on a lot more which includes massive contributions by India and China. It wasn't only the contribution of middle eastern culture.

Yes, Greek and Roman pagans were superior to the religious groups at the time but it wasn't because of their paganism. My point is not that Islam is the problem but that claiming these achievements to be Islamic is disingenuous since we don't claim other achievements as Christian or pagan or whatever.

Thousands will be employed while millions lose their jobs. No one can remove Buhari now, not even in the next election.

Same Islam that greatly advanced the sciences that form the basis for the phone or pc that u are using to type this nonsense?

Islam did not greatly advance science or form the basis of the phone or pc. Some Arab scientists were great but that isn't a contribution by Islam. It's a contribution of their brain. Islamic countries combined contribute less to humanity each year than any random country in Europe, even Italy.

If you say Islam contributed to science because of what Arab scientists achieved then surely Christianity created almost everything you use. From your actual phone and pc to this language, business, financial systems, satellites, rockets, intelligent computers, etc. So by your logic Christianity is superior to Islam since Christianity invented 99% of everything while Islam invented 1%. Or maybe it's smart people from both religions and not the religions themselves.

ZombieTAMER:
They just want southerners to donate their land to Fulani... From Chad or Niger Republic

They care more about them than their fellow countrymen

Why share a country with people who have chosen tribe and religion over country

Do they know that Algerians will make fun of these "abeeds"? They see these guys as slaves

So not only is the center paying for 80% but now Fulani's from other countries will benefit too? If Fulani are nomads why not let them all leave Nigeria ? Are southerners so stupid they will lie down and accept this? Should the center then not give money to the people of even Angola ? After all southerners and Angolans are both Christian!

Pig farming is a lot more profitable. Pigs eat anything, are easier to maintain and give much more meat.

Op you are not compelled to help her, you do not owe her a job at your place of employment. Ideally, you should help her get a good job at some other firm. If she insists on it being your firm then be clear about why you do not want to work together. If she still insists then she does not value your choices and in that case you should just refuse to help her and that's that.

I don't think lying or telling her the vacancies are filled is a good long term strategy. Even if she doesn't find out you're lying, it's a bad long term strategy

They are trying to bring down Islam ,,,,,Allah will sure guide Islam ,even if the devil like it or not

Who is trying to bring down Islam? Muslims attacked oil production facilities belonging to Muslims. You people lack the ability to see beyond Islam. An attack on an Islamic country is not automatically an attack on Islam.

Easy detective work if any of the victims can be identified by a family member..the police should take her number to the network providers for her last call logs ...trace all last individual number owners ...arrest everyone on her call log til someone confesses amongst them Easy detective work if any of the victims can be identified by a family member..the police should take her number to the network providers for her last call logs ...trace all last individual number owners ...arrest everyone on her call log til someone confesses amongst them

You've never heard of false confessions ? Also you can't arrest people just for being on her contact list. Also, what about the 9 million unregistered sim cards ?

It would be smarter to get the call logs of every girl, find what numbers is common in them, then question that person.

What Nigeria needs is to use spy satellites (Current satellites are weather and agriculture monitoring satellites and a telecom sattelite. Perhaps the former can be repurposed) or high altitude drones (Nigeria has drones purchased from China but such drones could even be indigenously developed) to identify the base camps of boko haram and their location within the towns they occupy. Then use decisive air strikes to take out the base camps and surround the towns and move in to take out those camping. Lessons can be learnt from other countries successful anti terror fights.

Prostitutes in Nigeria and those trafficking females or going by theirselves to Italy for prostitution are doing the same illegal trade.
Prostitutes should be jailed(prostitution is inhumane and a crime against humanity and modern civilisation).

Until sex robots become common, prostitution will exist. Even Saudi Arabia has prostitution. Men want sex and women can make easy money by spreading their legs. Until one or the other changes, prostitutes will remain.

Since the images and videos of the maiming and killing of black foreigners in South Africa began to emerge on various social media platforms last week, Nigeria has been an emotionally frayed place. Tens of thousands of Nigerians live in South African cities and in recent years, they have become frequent targets of xenophobic attacks.

This time, anger in Nigeria boiled over and young Nigerians took to the streets protesting South African aggression and unleashing some of their own on South African-owned businesses.

The Nigerian government felt pressured to act and subsequently recalled its ambassador from Pretoria and announced it was pulling out of the World Economic Forum meeting on Africa which was held in Cape Town. While some Nigerians welcomed the move, others thought it was not enough and called on their government to intervene and rescue its citizens.

Examples abound of powerful countries going to great lengths to protect and repatriate their citizens who have faced danger abroad.

But Nigeria is not one of them. Indeed, in the past, the country has stood its ground on a number of occasions when defending its national interests. In the 1960s, for example, Nigeria had a face-off with France over the latter's continuous tests of nuclear weapons in the Sahara desert. The government of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa acted decisively, breaking diplomatic relations with Paris, expelling the French ambassador and imposing a full embargo on French goods.

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Nigeria led the international effort to isolate and pressure the apartheid regime in South Africa. It threatened economic action against Western powers for refusing to sanction the regime and supported the national liberation movements in Southern Africa, including the African Nation Congress (ANC), with millions of dollars annually.

In the 1990s, the country, under the leadership of military ruler Sani Abacha, defied international sanctions and welcomed a visit by Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. It also directly intervened in the Liberian civil war, dispatching Nigerian troops to fight.

Most of the reactions to the violent attacks on Nigerians and other Africans in South Africa reflect a yearning for Abacha-style diplomacy. But as recent developments in its relations with the United States demonstrated, Nigeria can no longer wield such diplomatic power. Last month, the Nigerian government was spectacularly quick to react to the US's reciprocal rise in visa fees by reducing the charge for Americans applying for a visa to enter the country. And last year President Muhammadu Buhari decided to "keep quiet" on President Donald Trump's alleged "s***hole" remark about African nations.

At present, it is clear Nigeria does not have the military, the intelligence capability or the diplomatic clout to pursue a serious escalation against even a regional power, such as South Africa.

This diplomatic "standoff" with Pretoria has exposed the weakness Abuja has masked in parading itself as a self-styled "Giant of Africa". South Africa used to be a bully that Nigeria could restrain through its support for proxies inside the country and its neighbourhood. But since the end apartheid, this relationship has evolved into a regional competition, which Pretoria is winning.

After the sanctions and international isolation were lifted, South Africa quickly became the continent's more favoured ally of developed economies and foreign investors. Pretoria emerged as the recipient of the largest share of foreign direct investment in sub-Saharan Africa and in 2011 joined the BRIC countries in an economic pact formed to challenge the domination of Western economic policy.

It is also an important trading partner that Nigeria cannot afford to lose. South African businesses have major investments in the country, including the DSTV cable service, MTN telecom, the Shoprite supermarket chain and others. Nigeria exports $3.83bn worth of goods, mostly oil and oil products, to South Africa. By contrast, it imports just $514.3m of South African products, which accounts for less than one percent of total South African exports.

The more contrasting feature of the two economies, and which again highlights Nigeria's weakness is that while Abuja levers around a commodity-dependent economy, Pretoria has built a highly-diversified economy with a superior industrial structure. In other words, Nigeria needs South Africa economically, much more than South Africa needs Nigeria.

Nigeria's geopolitical power has also waned in recent years, while South Africa has remained a major regional power. Abuja has been battling with a rebellion in the north for years and has struggled to put a stop to flares of tribal violence regularly killing dozens of people. In its neighbourhood, Nigeria continues to feel largely insecure, surrounded by Francophone countries whose allegiances to France threaten the commitment of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to stability and non-aggression in the region.

The Nigerian government has also been unable to muster enough influence in the West to become a trusted partner. In 2014, the Obama administration, for example, blocked the sale of arms to the Nigerian military. The Trump administration decided to proceed with it but under heavy conditions which Nigerian officials have deemed "unacceptable". Western reluctance to sell weapons to Abuja has pressed it to seek arms on the black market. South Africa has embarrassed it twice in recent years by intercepting large arms shipment bound for Nigeria.

In this sense, the Nigerian government cannot do anything about the violence against its citizens in South Africa beyond making a few symbolic diplomatic moves and bringing up once again the Nigerian role in liberating South Africans from its white oppressors. It is clear that in doing so it is addressing Pretoria from the position of weakness.

Indeed, using persistent references to sub-Saharan African commonality and solidarity as a result of shared history, race and geography is not an effective foreign policy tool.

The idea of One Africa is a farce taken too far, and successive Nigerian elites have pandered to this fantasy to the detriment of national interests. The legacy of this pan-African misadventure is a geopolitically weak Nigeria which cannot stand up to for itself and for its citizens

This very much has to do with mismanagement of the economy. The redemption Nigeria needs is one that moves the country away from dependence on oil exports, foreign imports and interventions and towards diversification and industrialisation. We cannot afford to glorify the idea of producing pencils in the age of artificial intelligence any more.

Only if the country becomes materially secure and industrially productive will it be able to regain its soft power and international clout and stand up to the old bullies in its neighbourhood.

They are drug smugglers. Why have any sympathy for them? I feel bad that they're dead but this also means less people hurt by drugs.

The only case in which I'll have sympathy is if they were forced to smuggle the drugs.

iammolise:
The height of it all...
So people are even still smuggling themselves to India where poverty is at its apex.

Ah ah!
Wah tah pin

Bro you realize we beat them in poverty a long time ago right ? They're very poor but under our leaders were 10 times more poor despite having oil wealth.

The poor dwarf. People can't steal penis's. The police should beat up the accuser and the mob then make them all pay 1 months wages to the dwarf as justice.

I read the entire post and failed to see any use for and any economic benefit from fulani people. The lives they consume and conflicts that arise cost Nigeria a lot more than the cattle related economic activity they bring about.

Without cattle conflict, Nigeria won't just survive, it will thrive. Even if Fulani choose to stop cattle herding people can open pig and chicken farms. They're much cheaper, better for the environment, easier to maintain and provide leather too. They don't give milk but you can have goats for that or even import milk and it will be less expensive for the nation than is handling fulani people.

Where did you see Gaza, Jews , Palestinians or Egypt in the write-up please.. And can you please explain to some of us who wants to know, the correlation between this your write up and the topic .."why we don't want to return home".... Hmm ..ok o

I accidentally replied to the wrong thread.

Wheezy123:
A lil correction.. sugar or sugar contents CANNOT make one "diabetic" rather diabetes is not gotten from what we eat or drink. There are two types, Type 1 and type 2 diabetes.. Type 1 is hereditary, Type 2 is when the body (pancreas) is unable to produce enough insulin for the body, so artificial insulin is required.. Now those with Diabetes generally stay away from foods containing sugar and foods high in carbohydrate. Because Insulin regulates the glucose level in the body, so consumption of too much sugar items is bad because it will lead to "Hyperglycemia" due to the inability of the body to regulate the sugar level. This therefore can led to renal/kidney failure, cardiovascular disease and damage to the nerves ... Sugar does not cause diabetes on it's Own. Let's be guided please.. #peace

Not entirely correct. Type 1 diabetes is genetic but type 2 can be caused by several things including consumption of too much sugar, too much carbs, obesity and stress.

Criminals shouldn't be given sympathy I hope they jail them forever there and don't send them back to cause trouble here.

Gaza is responsible for its own suffering. They elected a violent and xenophobic government that has stated, in its agenda, the extermination of all Jews. Even egypt blockades gaza because they know that Gaza is no good.

I feel sorry for west bank Palestinians but have 0 sympathy for the people of the gaza strip. Their suffering is their own fault. Feeling sorry for them is like feeling sorry for someone that willingly submits to boko harams rule

One takeaway from this is that their education system is really good. We should learn from it and seek to improve our system.

Beijing has more billionaires than any city in the world

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/02/25/beijing-now-has-more-billionaires-than-new-york/

Surely, by your logic, china is more developed than USA, Switzerland and every other country in the world.

China has a huge economy and less regulations so of course Beijing has more billionaires than any other city in the world. Taiwan is still a lot more developed and the average person in Taiwan is still a lot richer than in China.

Africa's richest man is Nigerian so surely Nigeria is richer and more developed than South Africa, Egypt and every other African country?

HBB1:
Use nuke because of looting?

How will you justify that in the committee of Nations.

The way people think sha...

You're right, they won't use nukes for something like looting.

Cousin9999:
They chose Pakistanis instead of Indians. Interesting. So their white devil backers told them to attack some nonblacks to muddy the agenda -- and there is an agenda.

Let me know when they attack some white devils.

They know that India will retaliate if they attack Indians. If they attack Pakistanis not even Pakistan will care. They're xenophobic but not stupid. They attack Nigerians instead of white people because they know our government will not do anything.

MERCHANDISER:
u too mumu

taiwan and shanghai which on is more developed?

Not to talk of other big Chinese cities

Taiwan is more developed than every chinese city including Shanghai. People in Taiwan make a lot more money than people in China. Are you stupid ?

Ezeakanobi:
I hope they know Pakistan has nukes

Pakistan cares even less about its people than our government cares about us. They won't use any nukes.

Nigeria has a tax to GDP ratio of 6%. A normal country should have around 30%. Even war torn countries that are poorer than us like Pakistan or Syria have a higher ratio than us.

By increasing the VAT you're only ensuring that the poor people that pay tax will have it harder. Instead improve tax collection and go after those that don't pay but the ones not paying are friends of the government so why will they chase them?

Islam really needs to ban dowry. It's a socially evil practice.
