Nice one.

But they don't speak English?
Yes, I know. Remember wanting to buy banana during one stop, I had to give the lady the coin in my head 100franc in exchange. She understood I couldn't speak French.

Yet I always go out with my colleagues who do understand the language.

Pep for me, Ferguson no too move around for us to see his flaws like that. Even when he met pep, bro could not match up(two ucl final), mou tried sha, but pep still show am seniority. I remember the 5 - 0 defeat, I was awe.

I always believe dumb people do dumb shit to get by. Their brain cannot work effectively to produce what they want and they aren't ready to go through the learning phase. cheap dopemine replace progress.

My future country(place of residence).

I will be cooking starch, owoh soup, banga, fufu and be selling to the locals(indigenes) there.
That will be nice, especially if you are able to find a Nigerian rich area.

My last visit was January and I am longing to go back.. the lack of excess noise was my first observation. I love quiet and tranquil environment. cheesy

The age of Mary wasn't given in scriptures. Thats because it was well known that Jews COULDN'T MARRY MINORS. so it wasn't even an issue.

The interview is real and not staged. There's also another interview of father's admitting to selling off their female children into marriage cause they are "poor" now if you know how sales work you'll know there's a demand and thats why there is a supply.
The different versions of the Bible won't allow it, from all the old testament to the new testament to kind James bla bla bla, won't allow us accept a single story.

You say the interview isn't staged, well, research Nayirah al-Ṣabaḥ can fabricate a story on major news outlet to justify war against Iraq and Saddam, then I guess you don't know your people well enough.

Maybe this will open your eye Abit, research all classified and declassified CIA documents. If CIA involvement in stuffs like the death of Patrice lumumba of congo, letter to muritala Muhammed on their stance with angola, Saddam with weapon of mass destruction (this one ran often, after sadam numerous visit to the international court) what do you think the news will run. So many cases and files are currently classified yet your news still run, and you believe them.

peace ✌️

Great pity but nothing new. It happens in all faiths by the way. People are human first before attachment to any religion.
It's hard to see people who reason like this. I don't even know what to blame it on, are we now in the generation where people find it hard to comprehend things.

Same goes for insurgency, terrorist, drug lords, human trafficking. But people want to be right about their faith, not acknowledging that it's made up of people with independent thought.

WatchYourSix:
U cant even take ur own advice by thinking deeply and understanding
Did u see anyone blaming the religious text of Bhudist, or sango, or Krishna for the evil done by their followers??
If Jesus said anyhwere the his followers should unalive Muslims yes we will blame the Christian text whenever a Christian unalive a Muslims in the name of Jesus

Do you even know why it’s legal to marry a child in Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc..the u know how this practice started… ur prophet started it by marrying a child dont come here forming woke of dirty behaviour
These are different cultural backgrounds with different ideology, Iran, Afghanistan etc. these stuff dated years back, people marry up to 20 wives as the case may be, Islam cap it at 4, same as marrying age. The prophet didn't do it first, it's been in circulation before then. If I ask you marry vs Joseph age(before the prophet) when they got married. Same as Africa, 300yrs ago.

These are things subjected to change as technology advance. But my stance is to not shift the issue away from the culprit just for some silly applaud.

You ask me why early marriage is encourage in Asia, well they don't objectify women like the west does it.

So, the guy above took the decision on his own, he didn't consult anyone, neither did he see it in the Quran that it's fine to defile a female out of wedlock. He is to blame not the religion or faith.
I know you know this though... Crime come from any dir, we've seen pastor sleep with their members wife, kill their member for possession, we don't blame their religion, same as South boys pushing coke left and right, we didn't say Christianity caused it, that'll be insane and dumb.

Same here nothing more....
Education › Re: Female Police Officer Visited A Secondary School, Reveals What She Saw by Galapagous(m): 3:24pm On Aug 25
nairalanda1:
Russia and china also have issues.

China has a child kidnapping, woman kidnapping for use as brides, and as for online scamming....just know that when you have seen Chinese scammer operating, our Nigerian own na amateurs dem be. Well run sophisticated operations that even hire people from around the world. You go see shege.

Russia also has issues as well. Their scamming is also so sophisticated, that it makes our own look like something that kindergarten kids do.

The main reason why the kids do what they do is because Nigerians vote for leaders who give them their daily bread, not leaders who do long term planning (unless forced by circumstance).
Yes, the advice was to examine before applying, and even after application, if the impact isn't moving us to the right direction, it should be called off.

Ban is something I see Nigeria lack as a country, we only acknowledge the one given by IMF, world bank or those guys writing our NAS, macAuther foundation.
Education › Re: Female Police Officer Visited A Secondary School, Reveals What She Saw by Galapagous(m): 1:48pm On Aug 25
It's called western civilization. When we chove everything from the west down our throat without proper examination, we face problem they also face in their system, the only difference is, they still have a better system, ours is fully pathetic.

We need an economy like Russia and China, ban only fans and all those olosho related things that objectify women, same as scamming, drug and money ritual. Watch how the criminal quickly relocate away from Nigeria.

I honestly hate lies. Who attacked Israel on October 7. I guess it's Alqeada as you said.
And who occupied terrorize Palestine in 1948. Cos they are not legal owner of that land they claim is Israel. I guess you never bother to dig into history.

Judge him for??
His leader who started it ddnt see a nine year old as a minor…. No why would he ??
If u ask him.. he will tell you the poor children tempted him because hijab was not covering their face
So the Abuja dancing pastor who also defile a minor couple of months back should be judge by what. Going by you useless ideology, both religion is at fault, even though they did not commit the crime.

Every human has their own desire, the question is when these desires kick in, which value do they hold high. I get irritated when people don't think deeply or understand simple things.

Tells the difference btw someone born into money vs someone who has been oppressed by it for so long, the only thing on their head is a form of revenge.

MrsAyomide:
That’s fruit of Islam, nothing much to add..
So the dancing pastor who defile a minor from church is also a product of religion.

You guys should know when a crime is committed by a person vs a religion. Both mean clearly succumb to pleasure. Nigeria need to start producing quality human being who reason and not auto label everything as black and white. ....I guess our universities keep lowering their cut off, to breed human who lack deep thinking.... Disgusting 🤢

For bringing Christian into this nonsense...something is wrong with you
What was the age of Mary when she met Joseph, same goes for, what was the age of joseph as a window before he got marry.

I guess you never reason to look into that direction.

I am not justifying their actions, but this is clearly staged, which parent will confidently allow themselves be filmed while selling their children.

if you are too naive to understand how western news outlet work, I'll say try experience one to see the number of crew involved in shooting one.

A desperate community striken by poverty and hunger make it easy to film these kind of thing. Everyone has a selling price, but in the case of these communities, many.

CNN and propaganda
Make believe too much
So the families called cnncameraman to come and witness the sale and also help interprete their conversation for the world to hear abi
CNN and devil will compete for the crown at the end of days. Crown of lies
You are very right, Nayirah al-Sabah did a testimony back in 2001 to justify war against Iraq, bottom line, she was taught how to do it by PR firm, it's all lie. Reason I don't believe most of the content on this major news outlet, exps if it's design to promote some sort of division.

I guess the people arguing with you don't understand world politics and how propaganda work.

Just let them grow up Abit more, they'll come around
Politics › Re: We Need To Get Sanctioned ASAP - David Hundeyin by Galapagous(m): 7:34pm On Aug 24
nairalanda1:
ON sanctions...yesh Hundeyin is right...and wrong.

Right in the sense that sanctions might force us to develop domestic industrial capacity. See Iran...has a vibrant car industry, a vibrant industry that makes components for refineries and drilling, and has a lot of scientific innovation spaces....at rates that make NIgeria look like it is doing nothing...and so forth.Even the nuclear power, they want it for more electricity, and also for bomb, but electricity. (Every nuclear capable country soon realizes that they can generate 20 GW at a go without having to build over 4 or 5 gas stations...just one station and that's it. Now mulitply that by three.).

Wrong in the sense that sanctions lock us out from the global market, especially the lucrative buyers like the europeans and the americans. What's the use of Aba people manufacturing just for Nigeria, when they could make more money manufacturing for the global market? And they cannot take advantage of it because .....sanctions.
He said sanctioned from importing, he didn't say export. But for a nation who have been seen to lower its education standard over the years is far from achieving this. With our university cut off going down and education section performing poorly, we are far from producing quality individuals that meet global standard from this country. Reason I sometimes don't blame that moniepoint CEO statement some month ago.

Which damage can be more than what is happening to our image by those people in Ghana, Kenya, south Africa, India Cambodia Bangladesh Thailand n co.

Have u heard how that Thai police described Nigerians as a whole n some people in Nigeria?

Many people don't even know the name of the president of Nigeria but they know of the American prince from Nigeria n those people who believe in making money at all cost.

Dey play.


If they like they should release a video where Tinubu was using cocaine, it won't stop us from voting him n he will win so u can wail all u want
Is there a criteria to become president in this country, because I no even understand again. How will you vote a criminal into power and say it confidently. What a shame, society has lost its value.

Do you know the history of Israel, how it was created, how they got that land. Who gave them the land, and what they did to the original occupant.

1948 should shake some memory. There won't be this issue if occupying didn't occur. The Hamas(original land owners) are just against Israel as an occupiers not because of some virgin, jihad or whatever you label it.

If Israel was situated in Africa, Hamas won't have an issue with the. But we all know why they choose that particular place didn't we.

Kobojunkie:
You say all this because you have been in his exact shoes to know what a man in his situation should or should not do, abi? Israel, a tiny nation of about 15 million people, is attacked from almost all sides, regularly, by mindless terrorists who believe that by killing Israelites, they get to enjoy 72 prepubescent girls for eternity in some celestial harem. And you think the man that is in charge of this nation should listen and take orders from people who have never been in his shoes on how best to protect his small tribe? undecided

2. Prolonged? What prolonged war? That war has not gone long enough. It should continue until after israel has taken care of every single one of the terrorists that started the war. undecided
Your statement says it all, you don't understand what is happening, you only read newspaper printed by the victors with big guns. i bet you dont know who Hamas is and why they are against Israel and not Christians, why isis, alqaeda and boko haram never attach Israel.

Forget the sheep's clicking ur post for likes, genuinely do your research on both end.

Remember, history is written by the victors, not the other side.

Not your average backyard fight for 72 virgins or negotiate with terrorist scrap.
