Pootle:
arabs are extremely cruel people, and there hatred for blacks

This is a deep issue.

For centuries they were involved in the enslavement and trade of black Africans. They were also involved in the capture and trade im white slaves from Europe.

It was the prime reason France conquered Algeria, to stop the raiding of the European coast for slaves.

In Japan, tattoos are frowned upon. You mostly find them on criminal gangs called the "Yakuza's."

That's the Japanese mob or mafia.

If the data released is fall, then, it is as good as useful.

They start tampering with unemployment report during Buhari's government as the unemployment was above 30%. This was lamentably too high.

The truth needs to be known.

I remember reading that done guyman wiped out all his savings, all the millions he made during his active years. As geh geh will say, him eyes first blur..
That enough could affect him health wise. When he thinks of the millions gone na immediate chest pains.

You have a point

One way he could recover is to join cameo.com

He could easily be making about $500,000 yearly. That's what Ronnie Coleman lives off.

When you warn them not to travel through the desert, they will say, "any country is better than Nigeria."

When the criminal gangs get hold of them, you'd be shocked at th extent of the cruelty and horror inflicted on them. Their immigration and police are no better. They rape them daily. Hit them hard with big sticks on a regular basis that even run mad. They could no longer endure it.

There was even an incident when a Nigerian deportee came back emanciated and died. Only God knows what she witnessed.

I need to cleanse my self.
If not nothing will work

Are you sure your parents aren't the problem?

Your parents may like you at home and may not be doing enough to push you out.

They may seem caring, or worried but may still not be doing enough to get you out.

There was a story in the Bible. It was a king who was asked to shoot many arrows. Each shot arrow meant a defeat of an any nation. The king shot only 3 arrows. This annoyed the prophet with who said he should have shot like 6 arrows to ensure the complete very over the enemy nation.

Your parents may shoot 3 arrows and not 6. Enough arrows to seem that are doing something but not enough to ensure victory for you.

Have you brought a lady home before? Do you currently have a fiance? Do they know anything about your romance life?

Or do they urge you to wait until you're financially secure? You don't have to be financially secure before you have someone at your age.

Please respond. I will know what to say from there

For some reason I feel he is hiding something! The downgrade in his health is shocking.

4.2 on the Richter scale is quite light.

Chile, Turkey and Japan go dey laugh, dem go call am "Baby quake."

That's about 13bn! A gift to ensure he wins the next elections.

The government should not restrict the export of unprocessed lithium.

If it is to be exported as ore, perhaps a tax be paid for it.

Gboss247:
When will you leave this your comparative fairytales and face reality?
The government of other countries are subsidizing products when they produce to make it cheaper while your own government remove subsidy to increase her looting capacity.

Won't lifting the high import duty on food imports not bring prices down?

What does comparative advantage and subsidies have together?

Gboss247:

Have you looked at the balance sheets of the governments that do so?

Please mention 5 countries in Africa that provide subsidies and what these subsidies are? Don't look them up.

I will never invest money into a developing country that provides expensive subsidies.

You sound like a Togolese who shouts 4 years ago that Nigeria subsidizes petrol that they should copy Nigeria but does not know that Nigeria has been fighting for over 4 decades to end them.

I know the Naira is far more likely to keep its value as it does not need to print money using ways and means to finance fuel subsidies.

What Trump is saying is this: "F*ck em. We don't need them."

This is just sad.

SuperSupremo:
Only 1 Muslim dominated country....no other country has even 10% of it's Muslims population having Nuclear Weapons,No Single Arab nation yet the Whites tells you Muslims and Arabs are the problem....Open your EYES!!!

Over 10% of Israels citizens are Muslims.

Palestinian Israelis constitute about 20% of Israels population today, with majority being Muslims.

Ghostagain:
Guess who helped Israel with nuclear technology: almighty France.
Israel is nothing without the support of European countries and the USA.

Israels primary supporter is the US and not Europe.

The country with the second highest number of Jews in the world is the US. There are probably more Jews in New York city than in either Jerusalem or Tel Aviv.

They are also quite rich and have political power. At least 30% of America's richest people are Jews.

They wield lots of political power through AIPAC.

Jews also get support from born-again Christians who believe that Jews are still God's own people. They believe anything that Israel does has God's blessing.

A lot of Trump's actions towards Israel is primarily from conservative Christians. They form a huge block in the Republican party.

I over the moon as he was caught.

The shame alone would almost kill him.

They deserve to be sentenced to death and their victims and their loved ones watch as they die.

Osyxcel:
If it's imposed on the creators, they will increase their prices and buyers will avoid the them. That means revenue loss for FL.

But if it's imposed on buyers, it will affect only buyers from Florida. Lower revenue loss.

Such taxes are usually stated when making payments, like VAT.

The state does not care about revenues. It wants to discourage pyrography.

Do you know that 10% of all American women age 18-23 are on onlyfans?

Osyxcel:
But the buyers eventually pay. The subscribers should be taxed to discourage spending in the first instance.

Otherwise the sellers will just increase their prices and buyers will patronize other creators outside Florida leading to less patronage and less income for the creators in Florida.

As long as your ip address shows you're browsing from Florida, you will pay the 50% tax.

It's like when I'm purchasing services on Fiverr.com, I see VAT of 7.5% which is included in my payment.

It will only be proper that her family receives compensation.

TOPCRUISE:
Sin tax. Tax paid by sinners. That's new.

Maybe because Only fans creators always say their nudes were simply content creation.

Taxes on cigarettes and alcohol are also sin taxes.

PAPIJAID:
Abeg let them import if that will solve this hyper inflation problem, Buhari tried to let Nigerians produce rice instead of importing but what did we get...abeg import if Nigerians will be able to afford it

The mistake Nigerians make is that they think import substitution is the answer.

Countries do best when they focus resources in areas they have competitive and comparative advantage in. A motivational speaker would state areas that "are your calling."

If you have to place high import duties on a product or even ban it completely before it can be produced, that simply means it's not your calling.

Nigeria has no competitive or comparative advantage in producing the rice the country eats the most. In a place like in Thailand, it is grown as many as 3 times in a year.

The primary cause of hunger is not the lack of man. It is actually the lack of money.

I don't see how making food more expensive helps the poor.

Why is this even news?

Dpsychologist:
Let’s drop the sugarcoating and speak plain truth. Dating a single mother is not romance movie material. It’s real life. If you’re not built for it, you’ll suffer and she’ll suffer more. This isn’t hatred. It’s honesty.

I’ll keep it simple and relatable.

1. You will never come first. Ever.
If her child is sick and you’re having a bad day, guess who waits. You.
If school fees are due and you want a weekend getaway, plans are cancelled.
If you need to be number one in a woman’s life, this lane is not for you.

2. Her past is not theory. It’s active reality.
That baby didn’t fall from the sky. There is an ex somewhere.
Co parenting calls. Family ties. Old wounds.
If small jealousy already dey choke you, this situation will finish you.

3. Responsibility will find you, even if you run.
You say “I’m not the father.” Fine.
But wait till school resumes, rent is due, or hospital bills show up.
Reality doesn’t respect motivational quotes. Pressure will knock.

4. Her time is scheduled, not spontaneous.
You can’t just say “I’m outside” at 11pm.
You can’t randomly disappear and reappear.
Her life runs on routines. If you hate structure, you’ll feel trapped fast.

5. Emotional stress comes in bulk.
You’re not just dealing with her moods.
You’re dealing with a child’s emotions, an ex’s influence, and family opinions.
One small misunderstanding can turn into a full-blown crisis meeting.

6. Stability is not optional, it’s required.
Inconsistency is cute when you’re 22 and carefree.
With a single mom, it’s an instant red flag.
If you’re still “finding yourself,” please find yourself elsewhere.

7. You don’t gain what you think you gain.
She’s not there to build you.
She’s not there to fund you.
She’s not there to emotionally babysit you.
If sex is the main attraction, both of you are just passing time.

8. Manipulation can happen if you’re not sharp.
Some will gaslight you with “you knew I had a child” anytime accountability comes up.
Others will weaponize guilt.
If you’re emotionally weak, you’ll be confused and drained.

9. Society will talk and you’ll hear it.
Friends will whisper. Family will advise.
“You could have done better” will start ringing in your head.
If you’re easily influenced, pressure will push you out anyway.

10. Love alone is not enough here.
This setup needs patience, money, maturity, and thick skin.
If you don’t have at least three, you’re not ready.

Final truth:
If you can’t handle responsibility, structure, delayed gratification, emotional stress, and public judgment, don’t date a single mom. Not because she’s bad. But because you’re not ready.

And this applies beyond single mothers.
If you can’t handle real life complications, don’t date anyone seriously.

Dating is not sympathy work.
It’s readiness.

Be honest with yourself.
It will save you, and it will save her.

Love me, love my dog comes to mind.

If you see her child as yours, then a lot of the problem disappears.

Jeff Bezos was raised by his stepfather. Same with Shaquille O'neil. Shaq actually thought the stepfather was his bio-dad. Both met their real dads as adult.

Things begin to go wrong when you see the child as a liability, and not an asset.

Just the child's mere presence sets you on fire. Same with a bad stepmum.

A good mother would instruct her kids to respect the stepdad, and must never be rude to him.

The mother wants you to build a strong bond with her child (I am not a fan of multiple kids),

The key ingredient is love.

There are even white kids who have been raised by their black stepfathers. That's the only real dad they've ever had.

Trump's madness is going from bad to worse.

It seems after the dethronement of Maduro in Venezuela, he his hungry for some more global action.

I suspect the time spent in prison by her husband, after being sentenced by the Buhari junta without due process, might have led to his untimely death in 1990.

What most of these Ukrainians don't know is that we don't think much of them either.

People who are surviving on goodwill of others.

It's probably the poorest country in Europe and one of its most corrupt.

The man is really fortunate.

It is advisable never to fall head straight. This increases your chances of survival. Landing on your legs may provide the best possibility for survival.

It is best not to fall at all

Mrkc:
Just clocked 46, no wife , no job , no connection .
All my efforts to live a succesful life is ending in futility

What efforts have you made?

I just like this Putin guy.

He genuinely loves Africans and that's why many on NL love him.

If the North is really serious about education, they could achieve a monumental transformation

I am basing it primarily on the oil rich Gulf monarchies readiness in providing massive aid to achieve this.

The Gulf states should be able to provide about $500m yearly to achieve this. A person like Emir Lamido Sanusi be appointed to oversee it.

Saudi would easily put down $300m a year. Qatar,, an upstart desperately seeking global influence, would ditch in some.

As long as the money isn't used to sponsor Islamic radicals, it would succeed.

$500m is 750bn a year, probably sufficient to send 5m children to school. It would also produce an additional 20,000 graduates annually.

I would like to receive comments from Northerners.

Chucks13:
This family has done nothing wrong. It's never a crime selling food for whoever, she is doing her business and if found cupable they should have let the court decided but let her died in such cruel manner is bad. I'm not and will never be ipob fan but on this woman case it is totally unacceptable those involved must face the law.

The term "selling food," may not be as simple as you think. They might have supplying them. Alternatively, they might have supported the militants by selling them. They might have "been to happy" to receive patronage from the militants.

Nevertheless, the issue here is impunity. Why weren't they charged to court? Don't the DSS have lie detector machines to assist them in obtaining the truth? Torture produces "bad intel," as the late Vietnam veteran and later senator, McCain would say.

Why weren't they charged to court?
