mrvitalis:I don't understand what you're saying! |
God bless them for standing by their child. The girl is even cute. |
mrvitalis:I don't understand what you are saying. All cities that have ports have coastlines. That is sufficient. |
mrvitalis:They are all coastal cities. Presently, no Southeastern city has a coastline. The closest is Onitsha which can serve as a river port if the river is dredged. Please note that Switzerland remains one of the richest countries in Europe despite being landlocked. Interestingly, the richest Swiss is actually into shipping. Weird. The Igbos as citizens of the country have access to resources of other areas. They are even the richest ethnic group in the country today. |
mrvitalis:The Southeast has no coastal area. Where will you build a seaport? |
nedu666:The problem will be ten times worse. What happens when 100s of them attack a village or town? Also, these guys use industrial weapons. One bazooka bomb will see everyone scattering. |
Mrchippychappy:Lagos was no longer the capital by then. What would it have achieved? The armoury at Ikeja Cantonment was poorly managed. |
Iceberg3:They are actually Kanuri from Bornu state. You also have Kanuri in Chad but I am not sure about Niger. Edit: I had to get more details. Kanuri's are indigenous to Niger, Chad, Cameroon, and Nigeria. They were all under the Kanem Bornu empire which covered the 4 countries. It was colonial rule that separated them. In the South, we also have the Egun and Yoruba in Benin republic, and you have Efik who are from Cross RiverState indigenous to Cameroon as well. |
Ghostagain:I am stunned by your response. I was just stating my mind, not knowing you were an insecure person with a fragile ego. Please grow up Your resort to cheap insults are the stuff of weak people with weak arguments. It is their easiest red flag. To call me a Zionist is very crude. Righteousness2 would be stunned someone called me that. I have always argued with him that the Israel of today do not have God's blessing, that they are not God's people. That once they rejected and killed the Christ, God rejected them. You contradict yourself when you mention I take what the Bible said as facts and at the same time call me a Nazi. Your point is to deny they are Jews and by that, justify they have no right to return. But they are Jews.. The Jews are descendants of Ibrahim in the Quran. Prophet Dauda and Suleiman were Jews. Where did they live? In Europe? NO. Are they God's people today? Based on the Bible, no. Note that for over a thousand years in Christian lands, Jews faced prejudice and pogroms. A pogrom is the genocide of an ethnic or minority by a group of people. European Christians saw then as Christ killers. The belief today among many Christians that the Jews are God's people is relatively new. It has more to do with Israel winning battles against the Arabs and Palestinians ascribing it to God, than actually what the Bible says. Billy Graham even once made an anti-Semitic statement. |
Ghostagain:I stick to the truth and not what I want to believe. The present Israelites aren't simply Europeans of Jewish faith. Don't forget millions of European Jews emigrated to the United States in the late 19th century, and early 20th century. Most White Americans can tell them apart. Many have strong features such as their nose which distinguish them from Caucasians. Many Jews were watered down by intermarrying with White converts to Judaism but that does not take away from them their Jewishness. Do not also forget that Hitler killed over 6 million Jews. They had defining features. In addition, not all Israeli Jews are from Europe. Many are from the Arab world. Over 20% of Jews are Miszrahi Jews or from the Arab world. Those from Europe are called Ashkenazi. I do not support such new twists that they are White men from Europe as Israel to does the same twists. It claims that the Palestinians are actually West Jordanians for example. The question one would ask was whether Israel was settled by people for hundreds of years after the Jews were expelled by the Romans and the answer is yes. That is what counts. Also, note that 2m Arab Palestinians are Israeli citizens. Though treated as second class citizens, they are proud Israelis. The most famous is Nas of Daily Nas. They were the Palestinians who did not or could not flee during the 1948 invasion. So, the Israelis and Palestinians can coexist with each other but the extremist on both sides are the problem. We must also never forget Satan. |
MakeWeTalk:He also drove them off the land (Read Matthew 23:37-39) After the conquest of Jerusalem in 70 C.E, the Jews were driven out pg the land by the Romans. By around 150 AD, all Jews had been exiled from Isarel. It was only in 1948 that they returned. Had they never been kicked out, this Palestinian problem would never have existed. The void brought in settlers. Nature hates a void |
TechSkill:GoDaddy are the Baba of thieves. Those guys are so unethical. Worse, to make a complaint, you have to call them directly, and they keep you on hold forever until you give up. You can't make a complaint through email. When initial registering your domain, if you did not include renewal into it, they would still contact you through email asking whether you'll still renew when your domain is about to expire and if you don't respond, you are automatically renewed. It is daylight robbery. And of course, it is futile filing a complaint. I ended all activity with them. |
5his is very stunning and also a power flex at the same time. |
Fountainofyouth:It doesn't work like that. I am from a polygamous home. Him attacking the father may make the dad become self-righteous, that he is dealing with an insolent son. The woman is the weaker link. Whatever way, he has to handle matters tactfully. |
SpencerForbes:I will correct somethings I said. However, if you read most of what I wrote, I suggested a win-win solution for all. |
SpencerForbes:The boy said he isn't worried about himself but about his siblings. Kicking him out? If he creates a scene that draws sufficient attention to the eviction, immense pressure would mount on his father to take him back. An alternative may be that family may take them. They may be shared. I am from a polygamous family. |
natedensel:The situation is very complex. Your dad is madly in love with this woman and she is ready to do what it takes to hold on to him. Worse, she knows what to do It might be best you turn to the Bible for advice. It is where you get the best advice (Read Psalms 19:11, Isaiah 55:8,9) Make peace with the woman. Let the woman know that she and her child would enjoy themselves in your dad's house but with a caveat: your needs and those of your siblings are not neglected. She's an ass because she feels that's the only way she can hold on to your dad. Let her know that she and her child would have no problem. Perhaps, talk to her son as well. Mothers always want their child protected. You can even add the caveat that one day you and your siblings will leave the house to them. Just go all the way to make peace with her (Read Matthew 5:38-42) Talk to your dad. Tell him you know he is lonely after the death of your mum (just say some bullshit). Tell him he has the right to move on. Tell him you want a peaceful house. A house filled with endless quarrels can lead to HBP or a stroke. It is an outcome she too wouldn't like. The woman unbeknownst to you needs legitimacy, and she can only get it with your endorsement. Acceptance matters to her. It establishes her in the house and she is no longer just seen as an unwelcome usurper. If you promise her no drama and no interference with her and your dad, she might begin to come around. Tell her to also fight for your interests as well with your dad because men under the lovebug can become neglectful. Your siblings can even be calling her mummy. Don't be bothered if your dad treats her and her child as first class citizens and you second class. It is not a contest. Just focus on your needs and that of your siblings being met. Don't demand too much. If the barest minimum is enough, such as feeding and school fees, then stick to that. Seek win-win. You be nice to her child. Get him some nice treats. Love your enemies. It works. Read Matthew 5:43-48, Isaiah 55:8-9. His thoughts and His ways are far superior to ours. There's nothing like peace of mind. |
madridguy:I was a year Sowore's junior in Unilag and most Akokites don't take him serious. They know his past. He is just doing this to seek relevance and nothing more. Kanu was advocating for violence. He wouldhave turned the peace loving and industrious Southeast into centres of violence, while he wore Fendi in London. This was someone who had no intention of dying for what he wanted others to do. |
Emu4life:If he has done his military service, he is not under obligation to fight. |
Story for the fake gods as though he was going to marry her. Boyfriend and girlfriend no be marriage. Poppy love. |
The question I want to ask is if the under reported amount of $42bn between 2011- 2017 can be recovered if true? |
zero8zero:Since it's really balance of payment support of some kind, a fat foreign reserve is all that's needed to repay it. |
FarahAideed:Nigeria does not need this kind of deal Going it alone has been the best option. Argentina too should do the same, and dump the US support. Let the peso find its true value. |
chatinent:Okonji Iweala has praised Tinubu for stabilising the econony. What then is rhe problem? |
SpaceX:First and foremost there are two groups: the islamist terrorists and the Fulani bandits. The Islamic terrorists kill more Muslims than Christians. Why do w have the Fulani bandits? They arose to checkmate the Hausas who were having skirmishes with Fulani herdsmen due to their cattle grazing on their crops. This led to clashes in which the numerous Hausas had the upper hand. The Fulani bandits arose to checkmate the Hausa farmers. Are Hausa Christians? No. They are Muslims. They are the ones who have borne the brunt of the Fulani bandits excesses. These bandits have even massacred people in mosques. So, Muslims have suffered more than the Christians. The US envoy was right. . |
flokii:Man is a soul.(Read Genesis 2:7 KJ). Man does not have a soul. The immortality of the soul is a Greek doctrine. |
flokii:Burning in hell for what reason? She's in the grave and would return to the dust from where she came (Read Gen 3:10, Ecclesiastes 9:5,10, Romans 6:23, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-10} |
The boyfriend has done no wrong. She was just foolish. Had she survived, she'd be laughing at how foolish she was to attempt suicide over a boy at 22 years. It is just tragic. |
More Muslims are being slaughtered than Christians. The claims were simply outrageous, and misleading. Those who made those claims were probably well meaning but actually ignorant. |
seunmsg:I support the Nigerian way. It should allow the currency find its true value, and damn the consequences. Accepting the cushion is just running from reality. Were the Peso to fall to its true value, an export boom would commence. Argentina would have huge trade surpluses. Its local maunfacturing and agriculture would enjoy a massive boost as imported goods and services become more expensive. The economy would gradually move from a consumption economy to a productive one. |
Namaster:What you fail to understand is that without the cushion from the USA, the currency would drop in value massively.# You can see what happened here in Naija. Most countries when they want to float their currencies may approach the IMF for balance of payment support. That's one of the reasons the IMF was set up. Since Nigerians don't like the IMF, and with no cushion, there was a free fall. I prefer the Nigerian way, though much more painful. |

. as the local currency is getting weaker and weaker. The question is how will Argentina be able to repay all these loans from IMF to World Bank, even this deal, the US Treasury will collect their dollars back because US doesn't need Pesos.
