AntiisIam:This is not an Islamic issue. Iranians are mostly Shiites while Nigerian Muslims are largely Sunni. Most Gulf Arabs dont support Iran. The airstrikes wont topple the Mullahs, and that is the problem. It will just lead to reprisal atracks. Trump stupidity in starting a war his military chiefs warned him against has thrown the world into this mess. |
Mattswaggz:If you have the choice of doing something stupid or doing nothing, it is always better to do nothing. US army chiefs had warned Trump not to go to war with Iran, that it wont end well. Now, we see the peesent. The Gulf states did not want the US to use their countries to launch attacks. They wanted nothing to do with Iran. They too knew it wont end well. Trump waa the one who learnt the hard way. He listened to the advice of the Devil and launched this war. What you guys fail to understand is that Iran has been heavily sanctioned for decades. Suffering and hardship is nothing new. Their citizens dont like the Mullah neither do most countries who condemn the US strikes. Diplomacy means learning to live peacefully with countries you dont like. Iran is no easy foe. Its government and army has been divided into 31 units, and all can act independently of the others. Thats why the annihilation of the Ayatollah and other top ranking officers had no effect. Rather Iran bared its fangs after they wete killed and we are in this mess today. |
Trump army chiefs warned him not to go to war with Iran but he didnt listen. He chose to do buddy with Netanyahu, and go bomb wily nily Iran. Everyone managed Iran until Trump came along. Anyway, we might be heading into the Great Tribulation. It might not even culminate in it but so much is happening. It would be better for the Trump to eat humble pie than to continue a war that would be too costly to win. Negotiate with the Mullahs. |
[b][/b] Ushame:Why you no join them? If money dey, i wan try lithium. |
WriterrNg:Those who joined the British and American armies knew what they were signing up for. These guys were tricked. Your love for Russia blinds you to the truth. When these same media report Iranian bombing of US bases in the Gulf or Israeli cities, it isnt considered western media. You only approve of a narrative that pleases you. |
Kobojunkie:The truth they say is always in the middle. South Africa has a rigid labor market. Employing and sacking workers is costly and tasking. Its minimum wage is high which discourages small and medium scale companies from hiring which is the prime reason for the high unemployment rate. It is also a nightmare sacking workers. If you make it hard sacking unproductive workers, you discourage businesses from hiring. Desperate economic immigrants are willing to take any work, so as their journey for greener pastures is not wasted. Does that mean all foreign workera are slave labor? I very much doubt this. Was this man simply refusing to employ South Africans who werent willing to work on starvation wages? I also doubr that Also, the days of Apartheid might have led to a poor work ethic amongst black men. Such behavior can be observed in severely marginalized demographies like the native Americans, African-Americans, native Alaskans and Native Australians. Lack of economic opportunities for centuries affected their work ethnic and demoralized them. What South Africa needs is for them to make their labor laws flexible. Make it affordable to hire and fire workers and watch job creation boom. Create enough jobs for both migrant and South Africans. Their labor laws desperately need to be reformed. |
donleo92:How bad is crime there? Is there anyway one can avoid it? |
This man has come with his nonsense again Focus on putting your economy into 8% plus yearly growth rate so has to lift millions of your people out of poverty. He could raise 100s of millions of dollars in aid from the Western and Arab world who he criticizes here. He is focused on pernanent friends and permanent enemies. When I speak of the Arab world, I am referring to those from the Gulf States and not North African Arabs who are Arabized Berbers. His prime focus is on permanent enemies. |
Peller is not yet mature. He is still in the prime of youth.[Read 1 Corinthians 7:36] He should wait until it is the proper time (Read Eccl 3:1) |
Someone referred to our conscience as a mother in law visit that never ends. It will continue to nag at us until we do what is right. It will continue to accuse us when we are doing something wrong or done what is wrong. Someone else said "There is no pillow as soft as a clear conscience." When our conscience excuses us, we have the peace of mind that comes with it. |
Eba50:What gender? Is he or she making money? |
buygala:The evil one controls the world (Read 1 John 5:19, 2 Corinthians 4:4, Revelations:12:9) God deals with us personally and not as countries (Read Acts 10:24-25). It is left to us to draw close to him as his children (Read acts 17:27, James 4:8, Eccl 12:13-14) God wants us to put faith in him and his promised everlasting Kingdom. All earthly kingdoms are doomed (Read Daniel 2:44). Thats why we spend over 1 billion hours bearing witness about that kingdom yearly (Read Mattnews 24:14, 2 Peter 3:13 Click here to learn more about Gods kingdom, and what it will accomplish now: https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/what-gods-kingdom-will-do/ |
Quelme:You seem to think everything boils down to "winning" or "losing" rather than ending this needless war. The West will ensure any so-called "win" would come at such great cost to Russia that it would think twice before they invade another country in Europe. No European country wants to be Putin's next prey. You claiming Russia is advancing in the war, sound no better than pro-Americans who claim they have victoriously completely decimated the Iranian military but can not stop Iranians missile and drones from hitting US bases in the Gulf. What a joke. The US has done a far much better job in the first few weeks of the US Iran that started early this year than Russia has in over 4 years in Iran. Despite this, the US cant claim victory because of how Iran structured the government and army. |
Never neglect a child. Its mean and ungodly [Read 1 Timothy 5:8] |
Na wa o! It is hard to differentiate the truth and lies. |
Blackoven:Though i detest the xenophobic attacks in South Africa, what you said is wrong, demeaning and cruel Nigerians threw out Ghanians in the 80s, complaining they had taken over the jobs, while the real problem was a collapsing oil price. Does that mean Nigerians are or were evil people?A lot of xenophobia is usually steeped in ignorance from both sides. The locals see the immigrants or their descendants as parasites, while the immigrants see the locals as lazy and unenterprising, and that the economy would collapse without them. I wish i could go indepth but i got work to do. |
Kaliningrad:Its not as simple as that. Imagine Nigeria has a long imperialist history and is run by a dictator invades Benin and wants to take it over. Other counteies like Togo Ghana, Cameroon are worried that if Nigeria, they dont know whp might be next. Russia was the major country in the Soviet Union. Ukraine was once a Soviet state. Eastern Europe was once largely controlled by the Soviet Union. Countries in Europe are petrified that if they allow Russia take Ukraine, who knows who would be next. Poland waa a communist stare from 1945-1988. It is worried Russia might invade them again. They have rammed up defence spending. I personally support Ukraine giving up some territory to end the war. Not because it is right, but for the purpose of ending the war. Ukraine has chosen to cripple the Russian economy and the financing of the war by blowing up oil facilities in Russia. They are especially bombing oil refineries which is leading to scarcity of petroleum products im the country. Putin seems largely powerless to stop them since Ukraine is using saturation drone attacks. If they continue like this, in another 1 year tops, Russia would be in severe financial crisis. |
ravensckar:If from the set go, it was a sex for money transaction, i doubt she would take her life. |
Rapmoney:There was still coercion involved, that means it was rape. He had no regrets about what he had done. I am certain this wasnt the first time he raped someone. He just did not get away with it. |
Tianamen1:Not all countries used protectionist policies to become developed. Hong Kong has zero import duty on virtually all imports. Singapore has a 3% tax. Countries that join the EU have no import duty on goods and services from fellow members. Yet , it helped war torn Germany and Italy to become properous. I mentioned these 2 countries because they have large populations. Protectionism isnt needed to become prosperous. And about the protectionist policies they followed and their benefits or disbenefits, the devil is in the details. All the ban on imported cement did was to skyrocket the price and make Dangote and Bua billionaires. The construction and real estate sector believe they were worse off. By making cement more expensive, less property and infrastructure was built. |
pgirl123:I am not a misogynist. Both parties are expected to be faithfully (Read Hebrews 13:4). You are right. Many are happy being single mothers. This one might have even given up on marraige when no man proposed. |
This one can never be a faithful wife. Which inlaw to be would approve of her after seeing this video? No sense up there. |
The guy married well. She looks very buttee, like someone born with a silver spoon. |
Raxxye:It is most likely sexual harassment. The harasament is the problem here, and not the sex. |
QuinQQ:Thats in a perfect world In addition, adultery is a sin. I can still divorce my wife but still have some love for the child. |
jmoore:This is the first constructive reply today. The rest are just wailing. |
The single reason why cement is more expensive here than elsewhere is because the government banned its importation during OBJ's tenure. Open the gates again and the price would crash. The importation of petrol has prevented excessive profiteering that has characterised cement. |
[b][/b] ZUBY77:You guys aew missing the point! One missile that strikes just one ship would instil so much fear that no other ship would dare move. It would paralysis ship movement in the Straits. Dullard Trump was warned by his generals not to staet this war, that it wont end well. He preferred to play buddy with Netanyahu and the world is now left with this mess. |
He is just making matters worse. The Iranians will have none of it. |
Ritual money ia worthless. It is only those whose life is for this futile earthly existence. |
AndroBlaze:Alright, I should have done some homework before stat8ng some of my views. Nevertheless, I still stand my ground that they could have done much more. Your per capita stats did not impress much because times are different. In those times, industrialized countries were rich nations. Nowadays, even poverty stricken Pakistan is labelled as an industrialized nation. When i did a Google search, it said the British did not put much effort into education, as they ran the nation on a "shoestring budget." That was the exact phrase. I dont believe in the negritude blabber. I am actually neutral. Likewise, I dont have to meet a grandpa to find out if things were better. My late dad was born 1936. Things are always relative. People would say things were cheap, but everyone was poor. My dad found it hard to feed with a job he had while single, living in the Midwestern State. This was in the 1960s. |
