Firstly, our population is nowhere near 200 million; the day we obtain a more accurate count of our numbers in Nigeria will mark the beginning of our redemption.

The elections in 2023, with just less than 30 million participating in the elections, call into question whether our numbers may be overblown. Even the daily consumption of fuel, which was put at over 80 million litres per day in the days of subsidy, has been discovered to be false.

For me, we may not be over a 100 million people, let's confirm our population figures if we are truly sincere or just want to continue deceiving ourselves.

LoL...😁😁😁you guys fail to know that it is not about winning a state , rather it is about delivering at least 25percent of total votes for PBAT ...wake up and smell the coffee

you gerit if you don't gerit forget about it Well said.

It seems Starmer would once again backtrack on many aspects of the benefits review.

So far 4 areas the government has looked to raise funds

1. Ammendment to inheritance tax for farmers - held

2. Winter fuel issue- failed

3. Immigration review- (longer and more expensive) - might likely scale thru as we dont have a strong enough lobby/voting block.

4. Benefit review- unlikely to pass.

With Reeves insistent on not borrowing more that 100% of gdp and state benefit costs (incl pensions) rising yearly, I wonder where all the money for investments would come from.

A good quote I came across recently- still trying to balance a tripod on 2 legs: 'The UK wants American levels of taxation, with Nordic public services and Japanese demographical hegemony.'

😂 kasongo yeye things. It’s good to dream sha even some people believe a new Nigeria is possible. Who are me, lol

ehizario2012:
Good evening people, have you heard the trending news of the young Nigerian Doctor, Dr. Timileyin Oluseyi who won all 8 residency awards in the USA recently?

As individuals, Nigerians remain super stars. But as a group, we are one of the worst set of people.

I sincerely need an answer as to why we can't lead ourselves successfully, it's mind boggling.

Shebi, we were told here that Nigerians are never qualified for such things

As for why we can't lead ourselves successfully, you have already answered the question; We are superstars as individuals, but worse as a group.

Commentor:
Trump reverting to Obama's policies he cancelled, all because he envies Obama.

Inferiority complex.

He needs that Nobel Peace Prize badly; he has been lashing out at the organisers of the award

LordBiden:
But thats same thing obama did that made you lots call him a devil and terror sponsor.

So can we now conclude trump is a devil and terror sponsor

Don't mind the mumu supporters of the fascist, imagine setting the entire world backwards just because of bigotry

New: Keir Starmer says he "Deeply regrets " warning that Britain risks becoming an island of strangers

It's high time he picks a side and stops dancing on the fence; it's becoming nauseating.

UK wants to change the law, so once its pronounced, everyone is captured under new legislation (I don't think that Bill would pass)..... 🤣😂

🤔 hmmm

The 10 year wave is sweeping across....... It's an agenda........ 🤣😂

Shebi you Dey assure people for here 😂

Despite the tons of missiles fired to presidents in the west, they never fail to address accusations and issues with careful speech and grace. You hardly see a western president speak gutter language.

Have you ever listen to President Trump to hear his gutter language

[quote author=AKALAMAGBO post=135876062]Zahra… Have a look at this.. Though it appears locals are not happy..

The figure is coming closer to the £600k you mentioned.

Residents in a £500,000 Hull estate were 'blindsided' as Afghan refugees were placed in brand-new homes.

should stay one side o, they are in hotels you’re angry, they are in homes is wahala where should they put them? underground?

helinues:
We have heard that severally so it's not new.

Can't you people tell us something different?

I wonder o, it’s obvious some folks are still yet to recover from the 2023 elections.

Instead of all these crying why can’t they focus on their plot for 2027. It’s like on one hand you’re begging the president and on the other hand you’re threatening him with a gun. Just pick one battle and stick with it instead of all these lamentations

stagger:
These LP party guys are not any different from the APC and PDP people. They are all thieves.

No difference at all! A bunch of robbers and shame to all those who justified the rubbish initially, including those who had started donating.

These guys are just thieves and thought they could scam millions of Nigerians unnoticed. phew

Laliga giants Atletico Madrid in for Ademola Lookman with an offer of €55m but Atalanta demands €60m

El rufai should do everything to ensure Tinubu doesn’t get a second term if not the mockery that will follow no get part 2 after all this mouth

RodgersAkpafu:
As much as I loathe Reform and all they stand for
.Sometimes one part of me wants them to enter, at least as a coalition type govt Cameron style

So when they fail, anf fail woefully, we will see how the media propping them up will paint them or spin the failures

it's just that the cruelty that they will mete on vulnerable people makes me think twice

I think they (reform) will enter cos politics in the uk is not that dynamic and it’s easier to predict than other climes but at the end like Oga Lexus said earlier they can only bark and not bite much but of course we may see a rise in citizens unrest and charge towards those they don’t want, may just be a cycle the country may have to go thru to continue to distract itself from the real issues like we see in the US. For Farage and gang it’s just about grabbing power.

Not even during soup cooking process...... 🤣😂

😂 kolewerk o

Fred2020:
Reform has taken control of several councils in England. They've got the platform, the power, and the purse strings (at least locally). If they genuinely have better solutions to housing shortages, council tax burdens, or social care challenges, now’s their chance to prove it.

I expect the other parties to continually signpost the wider public to on-reform councils to demonstrate how radically better they are.

Populism and progressivism, like oil and water, cannot mix.

CoronaVirusPro:
Peter is becoming a Trump.

He has so many dumb followers!

Contribute for a billionaires birthday 😂😆😂😆😂

And we abuse pastors for same thing so what's the difference now

Lexusgs430:

Unfortunately, reform can only bark loudest from outside, if they had the opportunity to become the political party of the day, at the helm of affairs.......

They would blame the weather, trump and immigrants, for lacklustre performances...... 🤣😂

aaah na you Dey cast reform like this 😂 e no good o are you no longer a patriot?

justwise:
Of course they are, they voted to make American great again, no more foreign war, bring jobs back to America, deport all foreign criminals, stop Ukraine and Russian war on day 1 etc. He has delivered all his promises 6months in..smh

Even the new Trump Mobile Phones are made in China

justwise:
Were you really expecting Vance to say something sensible? He is as dumb as a rock

Na you talk am, I no dey there o

justwise:
Lol… don’t make me laugh please

You have not started as they have excuses for you

Vance: I empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East. I understand the concern, but the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents pic.twitter.com/zv1NfR580J

AKALAMAGBO:
If that’s the government plans, don’t you think they will eventually be dispersed everywhere around cities, suburbs or boroughs and may eventually reach where you live. Unless you no longer live in the UK.

that's where they are more needed, cunny man die, cunny man bury am!

lavida001:
Where are the jobs tho? Don’t forget the job creators ‘millionaires’ are leaving migrating to Dubai 🤣

The jobs are in the villages and rural areas, very plenty and essential. That's where the shortages are.

lavida001:
They can’t cross the big blue Atlantic to the USA hence they are coming to a city near you. Many hotels to house them in clackton.

When I told you that those folks bring a lot of resource to the uk you were asking me what resource? There you have it, more workers (cheap labour) are needed hence the katakata 😂

LionInZion:
Haha
The way some Trump's fans commented pre election, you'd think they were in the man's inner circle. They saw him as the singular solution to the world problems. Imagine anyone believing an American president really cares about global peace, when history has shown it's all about interest and nothing more. It's even worse with Mr MAGA as he has broken more fences than mending them since he was sworn in.

Now the Iran crisis is beginning to have the same Iraqi vibes of years ago. It all started with "yea Iraq is building nuclear weapon and we need to stop them". But we all know how it ended. It's such a hypocritical world we live in.

😂 It’s only through wars they can maintain their edge over others especially in a world that’s becoming too competitive, how else do you want to show you have power? Those who were expecting Global peace with the current gang in White House were just living in fools paradise as they were deceived with his first tenure not realising wars were been fought for many years preceding that tenure by both democrats and republican administrations.

justwise:
Trump just hit Iran with massive bomb.

Global peace 😂

Charts that tell a story.

If these young fellas are asked what happened, many would tell tales of how useless the NHS is and how its failed them. Yet this is one of the richest large nations in the world with so much opportunity.

Omo this is a pandemic in itself. Perhaps vaccines are needed to address this 😂 cos I no understand again

RodgersAkpafu:
Killing the sense of community is what put these old people in calamity in the first place IMO.

If they had a true COMMUNITY
the prevalence of old people needing Care workers would be reduced

That's just my thoughts
Everyone looking out for everyone

The way the system is kills that sense of community as there are too many laws and regulations (though some good) that makes everyone steer clear. You touch someone by mistake you could end up in jail so make I kuku Dey my Dey and you Dey your Dey.
