Is tincan or apapa port setting on the sea?
Which port in Nigeria outside the lekki port is sitting on a sea

Tincan?
Apapa?
Port Harcourt?
Onne?
Calabar?
Warri?
Sapele?


Please tell me which of this ports sits on the sea
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.

If you want igbos to go back home it's very simple

Give state power to build and operate sea ports and airports and place them at international level if they meet the criteria

Give state resources control and police


You can't use federal money to develop Lagos then want only Yorubas to enjoy it

3.9 trillion has been budgeted for Lagos alone South East got 450 billion and you want us to leave Lagos?
The Southeast has no coastal area. Where will you build a seaport?

Niger republic citizens...
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.

You're just another guy who mistakes his bible for history lessons book. They are called "Israeli" not "Israelites", you mistake bible for reality.

The rest of your comment was just you repeating Nazi propaganda 😂

Scratch a Zionist, you'll find a nazi.
The moment you started justifying your Zionist beliefs by quoting hitler, didn't your brain tell you something was wrong with you ?
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.

No kicking out took place, current Israeli (most of them) are just Europeans of Jewish faith, none of their ancestry is from the middle East. I'm referring to the Ashkenazi, not the Arabs of Jewish faith.

Palestinians decend from the people whom the romans met there, they were converted to islam by muslim invading forces.
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.

God is with Israel, as God gave the land to the Children of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob through a promise.

Gen 15:18 KJV
In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying,
Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

Genesis 28
10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.

11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.

12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

13 And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;

14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
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

Godaddy is $21 to renew 😂
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.

I think he should be thinking out to get out of the house first. How are we sure his relatives are capable of taking care of him in this economy?

What if he’s chased out of the house or you don’t think it’s possible.
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:
My mum died not long ago, and my dad has a hand in her demise because her marriage was a turbulent one and she died of HBP, now shortly after she died, my dad came along with one woman who is very bold and shameless, first off she already has children from another fling not marriage, and now she comes and sleeps over, infact she's not discreet about it she's bold, brazen and doesn't feel ashamed of what she's doing.

Recently she has gotten more relaxed , she used to mind her business, she comes and do her thing and leaves, now she overstays, and she's now meddling in our family affairs, trying to mom me and my siblings now, then turning our dad away from us, now my dad sponsors her and her child from another relationship but neglects us like he did our mom.

I could easily make life miserable for her but I am not interested because I'm moving out as soon as possible, but what about my siblings, she has taken over everything and now she's my father's voice.
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.

You can imagine and Trump is buying Peso and giving them dollar equivalent in the currency swap deal just to help Milei grin. 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.
But Nigerian wailers are disrespectful to the President who has been able to redirect the economy from the negative outlook to positive direction without any behind the scenes help from any world power.
Since it's really balance of payment support of some kind, a fat foreign reserve is all that's needed to repay it.

Have you tried advising Tinubu to stabilise the economy instead of always blaming everyone else complaining of hardship?

I mean, the time you spent blaming those who are unsatisfied with hardship is enough to encourage Tinubu and Co to do better. After all, they took over from another APC's failure.

Don't give excuses; you are becoming notorious for giving excuses for failure.

Have a nice century.

why then do we have all the terrorist groups having origin from islam yet there isn't no genocide? Why do the groups exist? You see guilty conscience is what is hurting you guys that is why you make statement like this.
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.

Man comprises of body (flesh), spirit and soul..
When a man dies, the body is buried and flesh returns to dust.. the soul on the other hand is eternal and that is what will go to face judgement..
What is responsible for your consciousness is your soul.. the moment the soul leaves, the body is as good as carcass that termites can feed on.

Moses died and was buried by God Himself, but his soul lives on in the bosom of the Most High.. same with Abraham and the saints.
Man is a soul.(Read Genesis 2:7 KJ).

Argentina is lucky they have a Donald Trump that is willing to help rescue the country. Who would have rescued Nigeria from the inevitable economic collapse if Tinubu hadn’t intervened?
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.

"If he loses, we are not going to be generous with Argentina."

The PDFile is attempting to BRIBE an entire country to vote for a GRIFTER like himself.

Aid Package that is only available on the BASIS that his preferred candidate's party wins an election is NOT an aid package.

It's an INDUCEMENT!
A BRIBE!

That's a blatant INTERFERENCE in the democratic processes of an INDEPENDENT nation.

A CRIME!

Meanwhile, the GRIFTER of Argentina has run CRYPTO SCAMS like the one in the White House.

It's left to the people of Argentina to decide whether they like the status quo and want to be BEHOLDEN to a PDFile.

We'll see how it goes.
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.
