When lending money, extreme caution should be taken. Frankly speaking, it is best you lend out money that when repayment seems unlikely, you can shrug your shoulders and leave things to God. Why? Because people don't like paying back or take you for granted. Leaving things to God would give you peace of mind (Read Proverbs 19:17) |
He is just a kid. He'll get over it. E never reach time to marry. If he marry now, hin go regret am big time. This I have seen. |
"Do not be squeezed into the mould of this world"(Read Romans 12:2) |
Topman7:Did the US really lose to them? The Talibans strength was that they could cross in and out of Afghanistan through the porous Pakistan border. You had the Pzkistani Taliban. They could easily replenish supplies. Send in new fighters to replace those who were killed or Injured. Nevertheless, the US tried. Winning a guerilla war or insurgency is very hard. It's easier to win a conventional war between two countries than with insurgents, even when they are ragtag |
Let's see how things pan out in a 100 days. |
This man is a comedian. Will the US strike the prison he is in? |
I hope it won't make the terrorists group terrorising Somalia develop interest in the Somaliland which has been free from war for almost 3 decades. Somaliland is very peaceful. |
The way you lay your bed, is the way you lie on it. |
DeepSight:It is always a dead giveaway. They never learn. |
Afriifa:The bomb blast was too strong. The force of the bombs waw what affected the buildings. The bomb did not hit the building. I remember January 27, 2002 if I am correct regarding the bomb blasts at Ikeja Cantonment. Despite the fact I was living in Alausa close to Coca Cola, the ground was trembling. |
Karlovych:I know you are not Yoruba by your statement. You can't differentiate Yoruba based on faith, |
May God bless him abundantly. ( Read Proverbs 19:17) |
America is POWERFUL! I initially thought they sent fighter jets. No, they sent Tomahawk missiles from a battle ship over a thousand miles away. Fear has gripped me! Sokoto state is majority Muslim. There has been no genocide against Christians except a lone killing of a woman |
Nigerians don't want to pay tax. What most don't realise is that tax rates have actually been reduced from what they were previously. What's different now is that government is determined to collect it. A company with a turnover of less than 100m will pay no tax. That means over 90% of companies will pay no tax. Even with personal income taxes, there has been some reviews. |
Northernblood8:The tribalism here is frightening Wha ist really happening is that are projecting themselves on you.. |
ultraviolet27:Are you saying some of them or all of them are complaining? Please clarify And also, what are they really complaining about? Also clarify. |
Adaisback:I actually decided to go further and actually search on Google. It did say Igbo filmmakers are more focused on who will portray the character best, so choose the best candidate, not on kin, but based on merit and delivery. It did say that some Igbo filmmakers may have their preferences, but it seems these might be a minority. The result even mentioned Olu Jacobs who itonically has played the role of an Igbo king in several movies. So, I do take back most of the things I said. |
This article was written 50 BCE. It is completely out of touch with reality. Tinubus government has been working hard to move the country away from the over reliance on crude oil for both revenue and exports. Non-oil tax receipt have increased and non- oil exports has been boosted by the weak Naira. There's a new tax law whose goal is to greatly increase non-oil tax revenues. I wonder if these people are living under a rock. |
Northernblood8:She was obviously prejudiced and this is sad. Though not defending her hate, it might have originated by the pro-Igbo bias in English speaking Nolloywood movies. Since Igbos control the English speaking niche, they prefer to cast their kin. Meanwhile, with Yoruba movies, all tribes are welcome as long as they can speak Yoruba. Nkechi Blessing is a notable example. It might be the root of her bitterness and frustration.. |
"In addition, it proposes the establishment of a National Research Council to fund research with a minimum of one per cent of Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP)." The above is not feasible. It is just ridiculous. I won't be surprised if it is either unfulfilled iwho is ridden with corruption. And what will be the benefit of the research efforts? Many won't be commercializable in Nigeria. There is no venture capitalists or vulture capitalists to turn them into money makers. |
Babalegba:Were they the agric type? I have been thinking of a pawpaw farm. How much pawpaw can you obtain from a tree? If you have 30 trees and each one fruits 50 a year, that's 1,500 pawpaws. If you sold each at 500, that's 750,000. I am thinking like `1,000 trees. |
Gbaja's behavior isn't a surprise. He was barred from praticing law in the US due to some crooked behavior of his. No be today e start. And he has a babyface. You go think say na angel. ![]() |
Ekeletu:If she has changed, you can wife her (Read Proverbs 28:13, Isaiah 1:18) But is too dangerous. That she has done girl is a big no for me. She could continue it after marriage. Why not visit a Kingdom Hall near you. You'll enjoy their meeting. |
REDshouse:This is just foolish. Why cry more than the bereaved? Even the people most affected have not even blamed Christians or outsiders. |
ViceGovernor:I took part of your response and did a search on Google. Search this "are all Islamic clerics and politicians from the North going against every effort to rid the country of Islamic terrorists?" |
How does it target mostly Igbos? I don't think he understands English. |
Pacesetter123:I am not a Muslim. You people jump to conclusions because of your bias. The Islamists are in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa. You also have a new set in Sokoto. These are majority Muslim states. The Fulani bandits are also largely in the North. Many of these bandits rose up to fight the vigilante groups who were heavy handed against the minority Fulani. The Fulani cows were munching on farmer's crop and they weren't too please with it and lead to skirmishes. Militia herdsmen are also in the North. However, it seems the Fulani bandits do the work militia herdsmen there. In the South, which is majority Christian, the problem is militia herdsmen and even the non-militia. However, the death toll here is peanuts compared to what you have up North. You said the people said they are okay with the killings? Who said so? Have you spoken with the village where their people have been told to bring 20m before they can harvest their crops? Have you spoken to the village that lost 85 of their farmers because they provided intelligence to the military, who were slaughtered in cold blood? The issues here are very delicate and could worsen with American intervention. Holistic solutions such as the Forest Guards and state police may achieve much better results. The American army should work with the Nogerian government in fighting these groups rather than act unilaterally.. Sowore wasn't in support of their military intervention. It said studies have shown it causes more problems than it resolves. Look at Iraq or Libya, even when well intentioned. |
I thought Gbaja had been shown the door. |
Odin13:Do not forget too soon that Tinubu did not win with overwhelming votes. He only got the most votes. He was the only candidate to achieve the two-thirds threshold as well. History may repeat itself. |
Learner47:Thanks a lot. This is gold. |
