someone has no option and confronts subsidies out of lack of options and your here rationalising his helplessness as boldness.

You smoke squirrel dung?

Same man who led a protest against subsidy removal a decade earlier is suddenly bold for contradicting himself.

As Fayemi said, they knew in APC that ending the fuel subsidy was the right thing to do. Even Adams Oshiomole supported the removal.

Fayemi, through the way he said, was unhappy about the hypocritical behavior.

The Palestinians struggle is about land while what happened in Kwara was about islamist terrorist trying to force a form of Islam the villagers did not like.

They actually own the land, History records that in their favour. No single Arab was ever recorded in history to have lived in JUDEA AND SAMARIA (the place the Romans renamed to "West Bank"..)

JUDEA AND SAMARIA belongs to the Jews, History supports them on this, and the occupier Arabs should leave to Egyot, Jordan, Syria or Lebanon

You have chosen to be an extremist on one of the sides.

To claim the Palestinians have no right to the land is just wild.

You're no better than the antisemite that say the present day Jews are Europeans. By calling them Europeans, they erase the claim that they are Jews, and therefore, have no right to return.

Business › Re: Is Bitcoin Dead And Gone? by grandstar(m): 9:25pm On Feb 06

Last year, I saw Bitcoin hitting $300k within 5 years. The prediction was crazy but for some reason, prefer to stand by it.

The wealthy and instituitions are buying gold in large numbers as a hedge against the inflationary boost by some of Trump's actions. He might soon kick the present Fed Chair out of office because he has not been too enthusiastic doing his bidding.

What Trump wants is for the Federal Reserve to forget its prime function which is to fight inflation for his sake. Trump's wants lower interest rates, so the the economy would enjoy a boom (one he would get credit for), one that will likely turn inflationary, and forcing more money into gold.

Poor Palestinians, they are between the Devil and the deep blue.

Those in the West Bank don't want to end up like their brethen in Gaza.

They are forced to put with entitled heartlessness of the illegal settlers.

The settlers are the worst of the anti-Palestinian Isrealis. They believe God gave them the land, and chasing the Palestinians out is divine.

It stinks.

Bitcoin isn't dead.

The world is scared of Trump's policies which are inflationary, and these have got the wealthy and institutions spooked.

They want to hedge their money against inflation, and they pour all their money into gold. It is the best hedge against inflation.

In December 2024, the price of gold was $2,500 per ounce. It is now $4,960.

Money that should have been flowing into Bitcoin is now going into gold.

Dogalmighty17:
If it was at anytime in doubt that Donald Trump is a vile racist, he has cleared that doubt. The president of the United States, posted on his truth social page animated pictures of Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys.
Trump has no single redeeming quality in him. Not one. His desperate attempt to divert attention from his involvement in the Epstein files is transparent. As he is losing the support of the American public, he has resorted to the only thing he knows how to do. Banging the drums of racism.

" No single redeeming quality, not one." grin

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

The man is a monster.

The Obama's have criticised him several times, and it's the type that hits home. They basically see him as a petty man-child that needs to be schooled on manners.

They are one of the best at pointing at his gaffes and immaturity. The Obama's are brutal.

I pity Trump if they choose to clapback.

Many discover they are gay as young as 5 years, while others as teenagers. They find that they are aroused by the same sex and not the opposite sex.

The fulanis brought the sahelians in, bokoharam are controlled by fulanis they recruit their sahelian brothers...all those jihadists terrorists kidnappers are under the umbrella of bokoharam.

Now, this is the problem- ignorance and prejudice.

What you're saying is purely based on assumptions, something anyone can make.

Boko Haram was founded by the Kanuris, and they still dominate it. You can even search "Kanuri Jihad."

The Kanuri tribe are probably the largest tribe in Bornu and Yobe state. They can be also found in Chad, Nigeria, and Cameroon. This is the Northeast Nigeria.

Shettima is Kanuri, so is Zulum, the current governor.

Their leader that was killed by the police that started the war between them and the nation was Kanuri. Abubakar Shekau too was Kanuri.

Fulani bandits and militia herdsmen are prominent in North Central and North West.

we at the point to hold all councilors, chairman, state rep, fed house of rep, senators, governors more accountable for their job

You do make a strong point.

The problem is that governors may prefer physical projects that become their legacies when they leave office, than welfare schemes that may leave no footprint.

They prefer to build new fashionable schools than to upgrade the quality of education in the existing ones.

The federal government is to blame.

The federal government would easily get foreign aid if it chose to enlighten the populace about family planning.

If family planning schemes had been given enough energy as polio vaccination since 1999, I am certain the average woman in the South would have no more than 2 kids by now, and in the entire north 4.

In Bangladesh, the fertility rate is 2.2, which is close to the replacement rate. Egypt is similar. Which means even Muslims can be made to embrace it.

More babies simply mean more public schools need to be built for instance

Politics › Re: Why FG Shouldn’t Be Blamed For Poverty In Nigeria – Ex-Minister Agba by grandstar(m): 7:56pm On Feb 04

This is complete utter nonsense, considering what is on the ground.

The states can only build on the foundation the central government lays.

The truth is that Buhari ruined the economy and Tinubu is repairing it. Okonji-Iweala and Charles SDoludo have praised the reforms and the World Bank is now using Nigeria as a reference point.

When the economy is finally quite strong, then the states can make discernable differences in the life of the citizens.
