The last recession was under George Bush. What caused recession was Republican policies under Bush.

Use Google I can't fit you will be saying balderdash.In 2008 the Republicans were in power . It was Obama that brought US out of recession with the economic recovery Act https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Recovery_and_Reinvestment_Act_of_2009#:~:text=This%20Statement%20of%20Purpose%20included,advances%20in%20science%20and%20health.

The person who was president in 2008 was Bush a Republican.
Obama came in on January 20th, 2009.

Better go and use your google well. You are a correct evidence that many Trump supporters are ill-informed or low information people.

Ladyhippolyta88:
You don't even know that racism affects the economy and how people get jobs and are paid.
Una go just dey talk up and down even abortion is an economic issue.
Have you bothered to ask yourself why blacks over there overwhelmingly support Democrats over Republicans or you know pass them when dey there

Ladyhippolyta88:
And yet according to facts the economy does better under Democrats than Republicans lol.
Most of you are just ill-informed

Bizibi:
look all this rant about racism is nothing to me,they don't like the Chinese but they do business with them and smile after every transaction,they don't like the middle Eastern nations but they do business with their people.

I always overlook the racism at least I know they don't hide it but I look at other attributes they can offer. Now the only thing you keep blabbing about is the racism....there is racism in every country.

NaBanga:
Until the black man stops taking bribes and bending over for paper money, until black politicians stop promoting slavery in their own countries, until the black man has military power, these types of insults will continue. The parliamentarian only said the truth. The ones shouting "racism" are also racist, but pretend. The moment Africans step out of line and withholds their God given resources, they will use their military strength to take those resources.

Nigerians are not tired of suffering

Realist12:
please prescribe an administrative solution to touting of tickets and see if it hasn't been proffered before and wildly criticized. Some truths have to be said no matter how civilized you're. You don't want to pay parking fee , don't want tolling of roads etc the old system suits you better .

teeytimi:
You don't know what you're talking about, I am a Yoruba doing business in the market yet I have been a victim of these never to do well urchins who collect money from you just to fill up the pocket of one useless uneducated oga at the top who are reaping where they did not sow.
Someone of us Yorubas want to spite Ibos just for electioneering sake not realising the danger of what is on ground in the state. You talk about about tax collection as if the money most of this agberos collect get to the state covers. Its quite unfortunate that an educated person like you will be supporting illegality of an uneducated person who is on a income of 1million naira per day yet you that is educated can't even be sure of 100k a month

Realist12:
you're saying something totally wrong, don't let anyone gaslight you into thinking only Lagos uses Agberos or touts , I support the agberos, before now they have been used as levy and tax collectors throughout Nigeria why are you saying they should be banned only in Lagos, what's the reason for the revolt of the traders against the agberos today , if not for election and they think with Obi's presidency they won't be paying the land owners again where as they still pay such levies in their home state to same agberos. The question is why revolt against the system that has been in place for so long , the traders were actually the instigators of violence here . Even the Agberos have proven to be wiser than the traders.

Secondly is Nigeria ripe enough to stop agberos? Most modern taxation systems put in place by Lagos state government is been heavily criticized , Imagine criticism of toll gate which will automatically stop touting of tickets . This people are not stating their intentions.

Excerpt from the interview

..

https://punchng.com/western-nations-encouraging-japa-granting-young-nigerians-visas-wicked-ex-gov-amosun/

A former Governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has described his recent interview with the British Broadcasting corporation in which he reportedly condemned visa issuance to Nigerians by foreign embassies as a deliberate misrepresentation.

According to some media reports on Saturday, the Senator representing Ogun Central, during the interview, described foreign countries as “wicked” for encouraging the emigration of Nigerian youths in large numbers.

Amosun, in a statement signed by his media aide, Bola Adeyemi, on Sunday, said the choice of the word “wicked” was the reporter’s and not his.

Amosun, in a statement signed by his media aide, Bola Adeyemi, on Sunday, said the choice of the word “wicked” was the reporter’s and not his.

The statement read in part, “Some media reports, including the online portals, had claimed Amosun, in his BBC interview, condemned western nations for encouraging the emigration of Nigerians in large numbers, by granting visas to young citizens, a development he was misquoted as saying was ‘wicked.’

“The Ogun Central Senator, therefore, contended that his major concern was core professionals like medical doctors, lawyers, engineers and accountants, who were leaving the country in droves with their families because such could open the country to greater challenges.

“Although the former governor described the countries encouraging such exodus without considering the fate of Nigeria as unfair, the choice of the word ‘wicked’ was purely the reporter’s and not his.

“Thus, while commenting on the ‘japa phenomenon,’ Amosun reiterated what he said, ‘I have heard about it and the reports are scary. All youths and young talents are travelling out of Nigeria, seeking greener pastures and the prospective countries are deliberately giving them visas to leave the country without putting the origin country into consideration.’

“Amosun further contended that, what made the reports inaccurate and a deliberate damage, was the fact that he too had been sponsoring young people, who desired to further their studies abroad and has not ceased to write to different embassies in support of their applications, because he believed in their decisions to study abroad to further equip them.”

Tinubu is one of the most intelligent politician in Nigeria. Just that, owning to old age, his brain is not as it used to be.

......I have heard about it and the reports are scary. All our youths and young talents are travelling out of Nigeria, seeking greener pastures, and the prospective countries are deliberately giving them visas to leave the country, without putting the origin country into consideration.

What scares me most in all this is the proliferation of emigration. Foreigners will not fix our nation for us if all our citizens should leave the country. I am seeing the countries granting visas to our youths as wicked because they are not considering the origin nation, from which their prospective labour force are coming from. If you ask our people leaving the nation for greener pastures, they will tell you that they are not planning to return to Nigeria. If you look closely at the situation, you would see that all our lawyers, accountants and most especially medical practitioners make up the largest chunk of the people leaving the country. We cannot blame them however; insecurity is one of the major problems pushing our people out of the country. You will agree with me that our people are not lazy and are always willing and ready to work diligently. Most of the migrants are forced to leave the country as a result of bad governance, unstable economy, insecurity and other challenges. I am sure Nigeria will be great again, but the reports of migration recently have been disheartening for me.

Brother I'd have loved to give you breakdowns but it'll be too lengthy.

On the average, a Boeing 737 business jet consumes 800 gallon of fuel per hour of flight and for 7 hour ( Abuja to London) flight it'll take 11,200 gallons for a return trip at 5USD/gallon, that's 56,000USD for fuel only on just 1 trip.

And the budget is like 18m USD.
During the year in question there'll be different events in the villa throughout the year.

I agree that we're broke but governance is expensive.

Not necessarily Buhari and Osinbajo. Have you guys forgotten that there'll be another administration by May next year. So the budget is for the presidency, irrespective of who's there.

BabaO2:
Ofcourse, naturally he will support peter obi it is understandable on ethnic ground, but why coming to manipulate a clear minded person that has already spoken his mind on the issue .
For your enlightment, you dont know the health status of anyone by mere seeing them physically. Your mind is your health status.

Please I need honest suggestions. My wife has had several male platonic friends ever since we met. She became friends with others through me. I trusted her because she's a very sociable person, so I wasn't bothered because I know a lot of ladies that have male friends too. She's been open to me about them.

Recently, something happened. A close female friend of hers (also married) started keeping her at arm's length. My wife didn't know what the problem was until information got to her that this friend of hers was going about telling people that she could no longer be friends with her because she's sleeping around with men indiscriminately.

My wife confronted her with this information, for which she denied. But the informant, who was also invited, insisted that she actually said it. Before this time, my wife would always complain that each time she visits her friend, she would knock on the door but nobody would respond. This happened repeatedly until her tenant told my wife in confidence that his landlady was always around each time she visits.

Recently, I discovered that my wife was actually having amorous relationship with her male friends. I have access to her messeinger and I have seen those amorous chats. She would delete the ones that could implicate her. A male friend of hers even sent her adult videos and she told him to send more, that she was enjoying it. This man went further to send her his masturbation video.

I confronted my wife with these and what people told me, but she denied. After putting much pressure on her, she said she was about to do it, not that she actually did it. I asked her the reason and she said that it was because of the hardship we were facing. Since her business collapsed, it's been very difficult to survive with our four children. I'm the only one fending for the family. Even after confronting her, I discovered that she's still into the act.

Given the above scenario, what should I do? Please I want only healthy comments that will help me make my decision. Thanks.

starz100:
If this creature lived 77 million years ago, then how old is creation itself ;when then were the first mammals created including the first Man, Adam. From the time Adam and Eve were formed till now is not more than 10 thousand years according to biblical records (please I am not talking about the age of the earth oo) and we are also told that the animals and other creatures were all created in seven days or 7*1000 years, by some interpretation, which is still a far cry from 77m years.
Please can someone help to reconcile biblical records with this kind of scientific dating

You don't even know what black doctors are passing through in the UK now. If you knew you would never be happy at all. Including black nurses. Many are tired and trying to leave. The health care discrimination is getting high by the day

I have been Thinking and Thinking, is Christian Gods Wicked by letting them kill his own son just because he wants human blood before he can forgive sins, or he is powerless and hungry for blood to forgive sins?

HantaVirus:
I want my wife to look into my eyes and correct me when i'm wrong.

I want my wife to be part of decision making in our home.

I want my wife to be my playmate/best friend.

I want my wife to be my biggest critic.

I don't need a submissive wife though I have nothing against someone being submissive.

I want my wife to be a strong woman who knows her worth

You're too myopic to understand that Russia is fighting NATO, and is not easy defeating NATO within weaks.

Gentleman900000:
She said it's a female friend she went out with but to be honest, i no longer trust as much as i do before after finding out that she still talks to her ex

Gentleman900000:
Good evening, my wife went to work yesterday and i was at home because it was my off day at work. She came back late and i suspected that she went somewhere but didn't confront her.

Few months back, i was going through her phone and saw she had some dirty chats with her ex and that one was saying he should find time for him. I confronted her when i saw this and she apologized that such will never happen again.

Today, we were both laying next to each other in bed and she said she have a confession to make. She said she went out to the cinema with a friend of hers. She even took a cloth along with her when she was going without informing me. She said she changed her clothes at her friend's place. I asked her that if anything happen to her at the so called friend's house that she went to without informing me, who will they call? She said she's not a kid that i should stop saying such thing. She's here apologizing again and i don't know if i should forgive her or not.
