If any of them dies in Los Angeles today what year did they die??

MT:
This comment ends all the argument

Why not refer to Jesus as “Isa” in the poster if the cleric has good intention.

He was using Jesus biblical name in a Muslim poster.

Cleric deserves to be jailed for wilful intent to cause public disharmony

Isa is Arabic which means Jesus in English...The message was written in English...Maryam means Mary in English...

Don't know what happened but some of you should stop putting Cameras in people's faces without their permission...

Public execution has to come back for anyone caught red handed with deliberate murder...

They should not vacate that council. It is the same federal government that gave them autonomy. Nothing like court ,let them block the council. This is not what the new governor should get involved in for now.

This is it...

😎

No country should be the sole owner of a global currency... They can simply just PRINT anytime they need money at the detriment of others...

Bricks members shouldn't give the right to print BRICS currency to any Super Power...at best let every member have an input to the printing of a bill even if it's just a specific Blue Ink...if not the world is only changing BOSSES...

America.. Britain... our Western Allies and BRICS are all good for our economy if we prioritize our National interest in our relations with them...




God bless Nigeria!

Someone has attended multiple dates...

Same as Italians furious for getting pizza at their graduation...

Very good! But Wetin boys/men buy for una hand sef??

Rest in peace!

sonmvayina:
Everything here ...apart from the 144000

How did you come about that number?

Very deep bro!

😎

One very greedy General...just because he wanted to control Lagos took Nigeria to the Presidential system of Government...

Now his own people suffer more from the system...

There is no single example of a multi ethnic/cultural/lingual country practicing a working Presidential system of government in the entire world...

With so many Languages and 3 major languages and cultures... There is no way Nigeria can work ... Any president will only try his best... Even if Nigeria becomes better for only 8 years... There is no guarantee the next President with totally different mindset culturally will not demolish things again...

Regional system is the way out of our woes as a Nation...




God bless Nigeria!

another reason she treated you like that is because you are behind enemy lines. You put yourself behind enemy lines and you are now the prey. Women like predators not prey. In the UK the black man is prey. In the pecking order of men we are at the bottom. It's white then Indian then black men. So we are prey. Not a powerful position to be in. Women like power and men in control. In the UK we have no power or control. So our women hate our guts in the UK. This why they always kicking their husbands out of the house

Makes perfect sense!

"...one of my Pastors..." Bad guy 😊✌🏾

😎

These guys literally see oil flowing freely in their backyards yet have to pay through their nose to buy it...

If this is not crazy...




Then what is crazy??

Possible!

But only people with very high vibration who have had their "EGO DEATH" attain that...

That state of freedom and pure clarity a soul reaches after a physical death...Ego Death put you in that state with not having to physically die first...you now feel and empathize with people and love them... You are now fully grounded and at zero point where everything returns...

You will love everybody including your supposed enemies...and people will show love back to you because everything now returns to you...

To be honest...

Not all vibrate very high to this level... Only about 144,000 out of billions of people in the world are able to achieve this at a given time...

Also to add...this journey is an agonizing one...no one wishes to be on this journey...not everyone can withstand or fully understand what's happening to them when it starts...only God can make you a CHOSEN one for the path...




God is Great!

Really??

Seeing some people saying "...good decision" is really traumatizing...

I guess Nigeria is an Island of knowledge right!

But when your Politicians travel flamboyantly for absolutely no benefit to the country you overlook that... Really really pathetic set of people also are Nigerians...




It is well!

Good News! Emilokan!

Nigerian Government!

Don't use international crude price for your own Children (the Nigerian Citizens)... Sell at a fixed reduced Naira price to our Local Refineries... So they in turn sell very cheap to your children( The Nigerian Market)...and secure the Borders...

God has given us crude Oil...why it flows freely in our backyards...to make life easy for us not for us to become slaves to our own Crude Oil...

Nothing will make me understand why you can't do this...Absolute Nothing!




God bless Nigeria!

Some enemies of Nigeria keep saying price won't drop...Why are you lots so Evil??

This is very good!

Hmm!

Most of the problems are quite straight forward to solve...but if you have inferiority complex to the extent of allowing what doesn't please you to slide just because you don't want your superiors to put you in their bad records...you will continue to suffer...

I asked why Using dollars to compute money in our Ports when you know our Naira is very weak?? Won't that make prices of Goods unnecessarily expensive??

They say! Oh you know Nigeria is part of World Custom Organization and that's the standard... you prefer your Citizens to die just because WCO shouldn't be angry with you...

I asked why can't our Crude Oil be sold to local Refineries at our own reduced price and not international Price of Crude...so our Refineries could in turn sell to the Nigerian market very cheap...and you secure the Borders??

They said! Oh you know there are many international stake holders in Nigeria's Oil sector they won't allow that...this one is the most ridiculous and daring...So the Population should suffer just for you to look like a gentleman to the white people...

This applies to individual life too...the day you prioritize the happiness of someone else over yours... that's the day the Universe will turn everything against you... whatever you try to achieve will be given to your master energetically and physically...you have made that person your lord and you the slave...so the Universe will understand that REQUEST of yours and grant it...

There is no going back from Doom unless we prioritize ourselves over anybody in this world and stand by it...




God have mercy on Nigeria!

mozes01:
So many idiots complaining abt the money given to the young man. Someone out of generosity gave him 500k willingly from his pocket to support and motivate others, the idiotsss on nl are bashing him . Go and do the same or even better if you feel the money donated is small.

Dey play!

The company has tried... But you should try and understand why people are condemning the money too... Because those who usually give Millions for Immoralities are mostly companies too... This same company would have given far more to a dancing competition for instance...

Nevertheless a giver should always be appreciated no matter how small since the man is a private individual...



It is well!

Salewa97:
The USA election this year is all about who is more unpopular between Biden and Trump.

The election would be decided by those who would boycott the election

Wait! Are we in reverse

Fuel shouldn't sell more than 200 in Nigeria...

He would have been given 500million if he danced naked on National TV...

Greed!

When importation of rice was legal... Local rice was very cheap... Just when importation was banned to encourage local production.. boom! The local farmers paid us back with increased price because they know we've got no choice...

If I were Mr president now I will allow rice importation for at least some months to put sanity back in the local production...and remove high customs tariffs...




It is well!

akigbemaru:
Your long epistle makes sense from the beginning but you digressed it at the middle. There is nothing called Lagos indigene, Lagos is a Yorubaland. 95 percent of Lagos today came from Ijebu and Ondo. Pa Awolowo annexed Ebute Metta, Ikorodu, Epe and others from Ijebus. We need effective centralized government and that is where we are going!

Some of you ehn!

Who are the Aworis?? before I even mention Ijebu/Ikorodu/Epe people...let me put Lagos Island (Eko) people on reserve... Some of you will just Open your mouth wa!!

Or you want to say because those are Ijebus they are not Lagos Indigenes...that alone makes you look like a slow poke...

Migration of people shape history throughout the humans history but some of you just want to be stupid for no reason...

Note*

Those insults I dished to you are very deliberate to make you feel how been insensitive to millions of people may sound like...these are people who know no other place than Lagos as their ancestral home for centuries...

hearing this from you who may likely be from Ibadan which started as Eba Odan a settlement started by OYO refugees fleeing the Yoruba Civil war in just yesterday's 19th century...and I have no issues with that as that's a normal human traits all over the world....

Almost all of you know this about where you all come from and chose to embrace it as part of whom you are...But chose to quickly castigate Lagos indigenes for just been humans as your forefathers were...

My strong believe is that this horrible long trend stem from deep Envy for Lagos indigenes...

'Why would their forefathers chose to settle in Lagos!' is the push...

But it's not our fault your ancestors decided to stop at your village...ours simply continued to push further till they got to the Atlantic Ocean...





You guys should wake up already!


Modified*
Epe has been part of Lagos even before Awolowo's father was born...

BreconHills:
I am of the opinion that anyone that rules a place must be

1. Personally invested in the state by reason of time.
2. Understand the culture of the place and not seek to undermine, blend, or substitute another culture for some one Nigeria nonse*se. One Nigeria is a consequence of the union between federating states, it is not the originating factor. Loyalty to state and region is not at odds with one Nigeria. No one would care who scored the winning goal for Nigeria in a world cup final!

So, the governorship of Lagos state is the steward of its economy AND it's culture. Anyone that would be governor in any statemust meet this criteria. It is not one rule for Lagos and one rule for other states.

This idea of indigeneship on the basis of slave returnee is seriously flawed. It is an elitist mindset that Lagos has broken free of and should not return to. Let me explain.

While Lagos was a slave port. It represented a very tiny portion of slave "exports" Most of these slaves were captured upcountry in.places now known as Ondo, Osun, Ekiti, Oyo, and Ogun because these was where the tribal wars were taking place eg the Kiriji war within the Yoruba confederation. These captured slaves RETURNED to Lagos and claimed lagos as their state by reason of long habitation( nothing wrong with this) however many of these people brought a western or south America culture which was fused on local culture - eg Lagos carnival which is basically
Brazilian. These were ways they reminded the
homeland and it became part of their culture.

The colonial masters loved working with these people
because they went to church, spoke good English, raced horses and lived out western culture which was "civilized" and not "bush" like the others.

They promoted these people and kickstarted the
educated meritocracy. They ignored educated people like Funmi Ransome Kuti, leaders of the Market women's strike, the railworkers strike, the miner leaders at Ivie vally in the East and the leaders of the Aba wonens riots as rabble trousers, communists and
undesirable elements. Some of the national heroes
we have today are there simply because they were "righteously" westernized and no longer truly represented of the deep interests of indigenes including the right to develop and grow on the pathway of their culture instead of burning these boats in favour of western civilization.
There are exceptions such as J. Randle snr who fought
for the rights of lagosians until they fell into hand of
the more savvy one Nigeria politicians and the military.

So the idea of lagos indigeneship is murky which is
why the 2 tests are important. A lagos governor
cannot have dual state hood. He/she must be
committed to the economy and culture of Lagos over
every personal antecedent and every historical state of orign from their family history. He or she is not there to represent the values and culture of non lagosians under the guise of "one Nigeria". Lagos cannot be ruled by people that will not defend its interests over their family antecedents
and the voting public must be educated or re-
educated to understand the need for a 100%
commitment to the state; it's history, economy and culture. Iam unashamedly from Ekiti by the way, and though my father served in the Federal Govt from 1962-79 we never claimed Lagos indigeneship. We love Lagos but we cannot abrogate a history that we have traced back to 1815 in the region now known as Ekiti even though we have also have Nupe element by reason of ancestor marriage. To do so would alter our strengths and eventually collapse our history. Rewriting history is dangerous - it has to be 100% or as close as. Even the parts we may not like, because they are dark or unpleasant will eventually over time become important and valid lessons and warnings for future generations.

Long road for those who read.

This is not smart!

Your family history even in Ekiti as you said dated back to yesterday's 19th century (1815)... Now you want to question people who's history in Lagos dated back to the 15th century (you can look up history of slave trade in Lagos or history of Lagos people)...

Everyone has history in this life... Nobody germinated like Maize from the soil... Thinking your ancestors migration history from anywhere they come from to Ekiti be ok while that of Lagos indigenes should be questioned itself is not smart...





Let's always think before we talk!

chicfarmer:
You make a point but it's not practicable. Duties are calculated as a percentage of the VALUE of goods, hence the need to first convert from the currency of purchase to the local currency before the owner can make payments and clear their goods.

I understand!

But trying to revive a dieing economy... one has to think differently especially when the dollar is very high against your currency...You simply want to kill your people if you keep computing in dollars then adding the equivalent to the already expensive cargo because of dollar rate...

You have to make not computing in any foreign currency when your own currency is very weak practicable...

Or you are just unnecessary wicked against your own Citizens as a government...




It is well!

confusedlady:
The Nigeria customs operate under the auspices of the World customs organisation (WCO) which is the umbrella body for customs in every country of the world.
The duty of the WCO is to ensure that customs duty is fair,consistent and constant in all countries of the world. This is why import invoices or receipts are almost always calculated in dollars.
Once the cost of the goods+ insurance of goods +Freight of goods= also called CIF( cost+insurance +freight) is calculated in dollars the sum total is converted to the local currency(Naira).
Taxes are now calculated in the following sequence of 5%,10%,20%,50% and 100% depending on the item being imported.

Bear in mind that after the import duty tax. Importers will also pay 7% surcharge as well as VAT.

I hope this gives you a bit of clarity.

It helps... Thanks!

However I think this really is a major part of what's making essential commodities very expensive in Nigeria... Whatever Global Organization you are part of as a government... The number one goal is NATIONAL INTEREST... if computing in dollars is killing your local currency and making things unreasonably expensive for your people then where is the NATIONAL INTEREST ??

OR IS Nigeria been a member of World Custom Organization essentially to kill her own Citizens??

The USA or Europe would have stopped being a member of any organization the next day they realize it's against their National interest...




Thanks for the clearance again!
