Foreign Affairs › Re: At Least 27 Dead After Two Mass Shootings In South Africa by Fred2020: 8:45pm On Sep 28
RandDigital:
Look who's talking about past glory, self proclaimed Giant of Japa and Poverty.

Keep consoling yourself by crediting evey little success in SA to whites, it's in your Nigerian DNA to be oyinbo worshippers. One would swear you were the ones who experienced apartheid.

⬇️ Wail louder so Tinubu can hear you all the way on vacation in Bali ⬇️
Take your 0.5% growth rate and go gloat somewhere else. Africa has moved on you guys need to grow up over there.

These IMF/World Bank predictions aren't cast in stone and countries can change governments and policy.

What happened to all of Nigeria's glowing future economic indicators during the Ngozi years while she was busy cooking the books? Look where you are now with Baba Tinubooo on an indefinite vacation in France.
Nigeria has big problems nparticularly with Buhari but SAs are bigger, which is why Nigeria can grow 4%+ notwithstanding last year with a repeat this year while SA was on 1% on course for another 1%.

Keep consoling yourself with a lost crown inherited from the white masters of SA, 9 months already into the year you are still saying IMF data may be wrong. I think they have been overly optimistic about the state of SA economy given what is reported even by SA media

Who's got almost a record $500B GDP at the moment 🇿🇦🏆 and who's languishing at $350B? 🇳🇬💩 Ramaphosa is doing a fantastic job⭐. French Tinubooo 💩💩💩

Giant of Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
South Africa isn't seen as Africa's benchmark even for Nigeria, with its numerous problem. It's the continent's laggard, in steady decline, and on course to fall well behind Africa's largest economies within the next decade.

As I said before, it's repeating Nigeria's mistake. Africa is the world's largest untapped market, with huge unmet demand for goods and services.

Decades ago, South Africa's outward-looking mindset let it capture that opportunity through companies like MTN and Shoprite. It has likely lost that market for good by turning inward. China, Russia and India won't fill the gap. The data below shows how badly things are going for South Africa, and its short-sighted nationalism may well be the final nail in the coffin.

There are many large development projects happening across Africa in energy, oil & gas, financial markets, extractive industry....SA is no where to be found, neither as the beneficiary or as the project manager.

Tinubu lives in France while Ramaphosa lives at home in SA. Next we'll hear Tinubu has relocated to China for 6 months 🇳🇬💩💩💩
Who cares , how has Ramaphosa being in SA help the case, on BBC Africa the trending news is how almost 30 women have been raped and killed in SA.

Keeping checking which African leader is away or at home.

Inherited Africa most largest and most advance economy from partheid government, swandering it away like the prodigal son

RandDigital:
Remind us again who are the perpetrators of mass shooting in the US? Your typical Nigerian white worshipping gene won't allow you to face the truth.
SA is become a hell hole, thankfully other Africans are not around to be blamed.

The mistake SA has made is the same mistake Nigeria made decades back when it was in a better position but politicians looking to avoid accountability for creeping social and economic issues happily directed the anger at other africans living there.

Do you even know how large the whole Donbass region is, add some pockets of Kherson, Zaporitchia, Odessa, etc that have been captured by Russia to it.... and still tell me that Russia is unable to advance. huh grin grin

Abeg, you guys should consult a current Map of that location first, before making certain comments.
Russia a net territory gain of less than .5% all year, you can simply google it

SonOfWords:
Ukraine is killing thousands of Russian soldiers with their super robots and drones? Okay.

But isn't it curious that it's the same Ukraine y'all project to be winning the war that has been consistently begging for an energy ceasefire alongside negotiations?

How can you be winning in an endeavour, yet running from pillar to post wanting a ceasefire? Both contexts don't tally, brotherly.
War is fought in many domains. Russia unable to advance on the frontline is now looking to damage the industries that support the army and weaken moral of the larger population.

It is an indication of how Russia is getting desperate, same way Trump keeps threatening to annihilate civilian infrastructure in Iran because passage through hormus is at an impass
Business › Re: Chinese Woman Speaks Yoruba Fluently, Shows Off Her Shop & Goods In Nigeria by Fred2020: 12:04pm On Sep 18
BigBashiru:
If you don't want china to dominate it then dominate it.

Also give up every Chinese product in your house.

Nigerians are fond of being lazy and then trying to slow down hard workers. China wins it's place globally thru hardwork and merit.
What are you saying? Even in China you are not allowed to operate in certain sectors and in other sectors you are required to operate through a local partner.

Low cost advantages and advantages arising from economies of scale/technoigical advantages are not resolved at the retail/artisinal level and this has nothing to do with hardwork.

This is not an ethnic issue. It's an economic risk to allow china dominate the retail space but also the profit is moved to china rather than invested locally
Family › Re: I Made A Terrible Mistake, Now I'm Paying For It. Learn!!!! by Fred2020: 5:14am On Sep 13
manitobor:
Thanks so much fam for your contributions. I really appreciate the good ones, the constructive criticisms and the not so constructive ones and the ones that totally vilify me. I can't reply to the numerous mentions.

I admit I made a terrible error and I'm paying for it. Every mistake attracts commensurate punishment in the long run. I'm facing mine right now.

Once I get over this severe depression that I'm experiencing right now, I'll be fine.
Not asking you to stay if you dont want to, but as a nursing mother, there isnt much she can probably do financially, she would need some time.

Also, I didnt see a part in your post where you approach her to trim the family spendings to fit your budget. It is a hard discussion sometimes but not one you should shy away from. Every working class family runs on a budget.

Lastly, nothing that goes up that does come down. Marriage (or in your case, marriage-like relationship) has its up and down, dont see it as the end of the world. Anyone married on your street already know that young couples have their up and downs, nothing to bother your head about.

In summary, the issue appears to be money-related but it appears you have not use the most important financial tool in dealing with it, which is getting a budget and getting everyone on the same page (dont assume they should understand).

People should not whisk people away without a clear warrant and without probable cause.

On what charges were attempting to whisk him away? At the point of arrest they need to state the case on which he is arrested is being on.

I love this family. In many families, there is no serious love between siblings.

Poor uncles/aunties hate their nephews and nieces and also do not imagine anything good about them.

Cousins fear each other because of their parents.
I have aunties and an uncle, but I don't trust them. Though we stay in the same town i don't visit them.
True, they way they stuck closely and put their neck on the line for each other (with the one being help showing deep gratitude) is not a relationship that exists in every family

How can data be more affordable in Nigeria than in the UK?

£20–£25 a month can easily get you unlimited broadband in the UK. Compared with the average hourly wage, that is barely two hours of work even on minimum wage, and you can tether multiple devices to it.

Better still you don't even have to pay the hardware and connection cost

I can understand why people like Kemi strive so hard to dissociate themselves from their non-British ancestry and seek the approval of the British right-wing media.

The attack on this guy was relentless. Just look at the Telegraph and the near-daily articles they ran about him. You would think there was nothing else more newsworthy happening, either locally or internationally and allegations of plagiarism is something new or unprecedented in the academic world.

Very sad outcome

I'm looking to acquire a landed property in Nigeria around Ajah axis, title is Gazette. I would have been comfortable with CofO but I like the location of this property for what I want to use it for hence I'm still interested.

Does anyone know the risk level of a land with Gazette title?

The land in question is almost a hundred million naira so no caution is too much to be taken.
Would not advise buying a .land on the Island with anything less a C of O. Loads of land fraud there with diasporans and other absentee landlords being a prime target.
Investment › Re: Space X Investors, How Are You Coping? by Fred2020: 9:35am On Aug 13
ibawon:
A company like Space X isn’t just what someone who wants a quick buck would bet on. I keep buying for the future. Same thing that would happen with Dangote refineries shares when they go public.
When there is media frenzy about a stock pre-IPO, avoid it as the pricing is inflating to capture the unjustified enthusiasm due to the media frenzy.

Worse for space x, as countries are now wary of over reliance on america for critical technologies limiting how much of the market it can capture with competiton catching up fast.

Except something exception happens, Israel is likely to continue its seige of Gaza whilst annexing it territories.

The ones that they withdrew their CAS after 10-15 working days of applying for VISA
To be sincere, they are scared of being affected via ukvi rules and hurting their applicants
Yes, they are likely double checking the person can successfully get the visa. it is quite possibly recent visa applicaations from Nigeria has had a higher than normal visa refusal rate so they are proactively rechecking to keep the success rate within homeoffice limits

Trust me, not everyone that pays deposit follows through. I have paid deposit to a Uni in the EU and forfeited it because something I considered better eventually came through.
