Apart from my one and only Nigerian friend that I have here and my Nigerian English lecturer back in varsity, I've never paid much attention to the other Nigerians here in SA.

My friend is very humbled, understanding, and like any other Nigerian, he's a religious fanatic.

I've never dated a Nigerian before, never considered it, and I don't think I'll ever date one.

Why do you feel so strongly against dating a Nigerian? Secondly, why does it seem that it's mostly South African ladies that I meet online especially in online courses, are your men that lazy as rumoured? I have read a few apartheid era South African novels and their description of South Africans especially the coloureds and blacks are very negative, the authors were coloureds and blacks themselves. That was while growing up and that image haven't changed from the news coming from your country.

Some people on this forum are too daft for my liking. How do you leave the news and start checking names to attack a tribe?

Omo.

the forum owner and his mods tolerates it because it attracts traffic.

100% supported, that's how they were sleeping with students in their offices those days in the university, shameless fools with no class.

APC have totally destroyed the fabric of this nation, be it in lopsided federal appointments, economic mismanagement, government supported Fulani terrorist groups, sabotage of the courts and the rule of law etc.

Op is high on skunk shit.

Mynd22 oam4j nlpfmod this is a better account than what's on the frontpage.

A team of government prosecutors led by the Director of Public Prosecution, Mr. M.B. Abubakar, on Monday alleged that the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, refused to present himself before the Federal High Court in Abuja for his planned re-arraignment.

“My lord, I understand that the defendant declined to come to court today.

“As of last week, the defendant was intimated of this sitting and he did not object. However, when I called the office this morning, I was informed that the defendant woke up and declined to come to court.

“All entreaties and pleas were made but he refused to come to court”, the government lawyer told the court.

Kanu’s legal team, however, said the allegation was strange as Kanu had never hidden his intention to always be in court.

“My lord, this is totally strange to me because this is a person that has never hidden his intention to always be in court. In fact, even in processes we filed at both the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court, the defendant said he would want to be present in court for hearing of all the matters,” Kanu’s legal team head, Mike Ozekhome, SAN, said.

Kanu is standing trial of amended seven counts of terrorism filed against him by the FG.

The court led by Justice Binta Nyako, however, adjourned the matter indefinitely.

In an update, Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, said, “The court per His lordship Hon. Justice Binta Nyako, is in agreement with us that it lacks the jurisdiction to entertain any further charge against Kanu, in view of the landmark judgment of the Court of Appeal.

“The matter was consequently adjourned sine die pending the outcome of the appeal at the Supreme Court. We are winning! Supreme Court here we come! No going back on ONYENDU’s freedom.”

“Our appeal to set aside the order staying the execution of Onyendu’s judgment will be fixed for hearing any moment from now.
We shall keep you all posted,” he said

My 30 acres farm in Nigeria.

We planted over 1,600 palm trees few months ago.

Where is your farm located?

The rigging have already started, PO just lost millions of votes in his core areas of south south and south east.

And you have never heard news outlet referring to Russia as Kremlin or Moscow? You never heard media refer to Turkey as Ankara? Holand have always been used to address Netherlands. Some media even refer to it as Dutch. Wikipedia uses both Holland and Netherlands to describe same country. May be you are more learned than Wikipedia. Visit Wikipedia here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands.
The news headline stated it clearly here Mr. I too know: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-11-10-holland-first-european-nation-withdraw-sanctions-russia.html

Wikipedia is not acceptable reference in any discussion because it's not peer reviewed and can be edited by anybody. Feel free to refer to Nigeria as Abuja, I don't have time for pointless arguments.

iyke2frankeze:
So Netherlands is different from Holland?

yes, Netherlands is made up of twelve provinces out of which only two is Holland.

etrange:
No doubt sanctions affect both parties. After all, it's business, and when there's no business, vendors and clients suffer. Vendors typically look for other clients, while clients typically look for other vendors. The power of sanction is only attained when there's a solidarity on one side. That is, either a group of clients collectively agreeing to reject one vendor or a group of vendors collectively agreeing to reject one client such that this rejected party cannot easily find alternatives. Though this comes with sacrifices, the more parties in the solidarity and the more they're able to satisfy each other's needs, the more powerful the sanction is.

Russia was sanctioned by thier major business partners, but they still have some other partners to keep them going even if it's painstakingly. The West is also having a hard time satisfying one another. These two facts weakens the sanctions, and it became a game of waiting to see who yields first.

that's just the fact meanwhile Ukraine continues been levelled with NATO taxpayers money while the taxpayers groan from increasing economic hardship. Europeans should brace for more agonies as winter approaches. Same applies to Russia too.

Vote Peter Obi, vote for the emancipation of the masses. United we stand, divided we fall therefore do not pay attention to those using our tribal and religious differences to divide and conquer us.

OP said all sanctions. Netherlands gave some waivers to allow some crucial businesses, schools and humanitarian activities to continue. In other words, they made some exceptions here and there.

Still waiting for OP's reliable source.

giving waivers shows that the sanctions are hitting the Netherlands hard too,sanctions don't often work,I'm old enough to know that they had little impact against Abacha regime giving the sound CBN governor he had then.

Holland becomes first European nation to withdraw sanctions against Russia without EU permission
tapnewswire.comNov 13, 2022 10:35 AM

Acting in the best interests of its own people, Holland has officially withdrawn sanctions against Russia despite no approval or permission from the European Union (EU).

The first country in Europe to do so, Holland started out by issuing 91 waivers from sanctions against Russia following the initial invasion. These waivers covered specific items that the country needs such as aluminum and food.

Now, the country has decided that many more sanctions must go because there is simply no good reason to continue with them since they are only harming Europe while doing next to nothing to “punish” Russia.

At the time when the Dutch government first started issuing sanction exemptions, ministers would not reveal the names of the companies involved, citing “company-sensitive” information. (Related: As many as 11,200 farms across The Netherlands at risk of being shuttered by government “green” mandates.)

A spokesperson from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Economic Affairs, Finance, Infrastructure, and Education confirmed that the exemptions were granted to “allow a degree of flexibility in specific cases.”[b][/b]

Add a source plus the country is likely Netherlands not Holland.

The average age in Nigeria is 18 years yet look at the old men that are ruling us.

All these videos been circulated online are probably government propaganda to garner public support for their badly thought out Naira redesign policy. Who in his right mind would keep rotten money in his home or in a lorry? Nigerians should wise up.
NB: those quoting me should know that all old notes are returned to the CBN for record and destruction so they are in possession of the largest stockpile of old notes in the country. We also read how they have spent trillions in printing new currencies under Buhari so with Aisha Buhari's brother in charge of the currency printing security minting press, this currency redesign policy is possible a big cashout for them before eventual handover next year.
NB: those quoting me to say that politicians buy votes with cash should remember that one of the presidential candidates had cash delivered to his home on the eve of the last presidential election in bullion vans direct from the bank. These policies wouldn't prevent the same happening again in the next presidential election.

As a man, satisfying a woman in bed is a physically and mentally demanding work, so why should I pay for it instead of her paying me? ill gotten wealth is the primary cause of this nonsense, few hardworking men would doll out even 10k to spend a few hours with a lady, it doesn't make sense.

This news report is so biased and partisan without any effort to even hide it, the American and western news media are now sounding like NTA and FRCN.

That Tinubu is even contesting for this election despite his known history is an insult to well meaning Nigerians.

Edo no be Lagos. PO for president.

Like Atiku, like Tinubu! All they're eyeing is the oil and customs duty money.

16 years and already done all that? He'll go free again as an underage suspect.

It's their nature in the rural areas to behave like that because they can easily get away with it, if you leave that land unattended for five years, you would likely end up in a land dispute by the time you come back. Farm theft is easy and untraceable so they do it.

Saladdin:
Wow @ greenermodels, the east is certainly not the best place for commercial agriculture. Crazy land disputes and genuinely limited arable land.

Quick question please, how large and sustainable is the eastern market for veggies like, carrot, cucumber, greanbeans, garden eggs, strawberries etc.?

Thanks.

the market is limitless especially in Anambra state.

FarmTech:
Hello guys. If you see any useful and educative post in agric section, please post the link here let's take it to NL front page.

All these sellers currently occupying Agric front page should please tune it down because we will soon be taking action against you. The best way to promote your product is by posting pictures and giving details on how to use it. Pls let's sanitize the section.

Thanks.

Please, this thread would make a good read for the frontpage

The islamisation of Nigeria would be hastened by a Muslim Muslim ticket especially by harsh autocratic figures like Tinubu and Shettima. These pictures of Iran and Afghanistan says a lot.

Honestly, Soludo is becoming a disappointment. How is African traditional religion a challenge to the state? Is he a Christian governor or a secular one? What happened to the right to freedom of religion?

Nigerians have experienced worse, turned EndSars into a call for better governance and are now protesting by walking for obi. Vote for Peter Obi.

They were supposed to be deployed 15 kilometres away from the front line but was deployed at the front line without equipment and shelled from a distance by the Ukrainians? I'll take this story with a pinch of salt.

APC and Buhari thinks that force is the solution to everything, the current free fall of the Naira was caused by the poorly thought out Naira redesign policy which they likely embarked on to steal money in form of spending trillions to print the new currencies, Aisha Buhari's brother is the head of the security minting press that prints Nigerian currency.

Fasoranti makes U-turn, says Adebanjo remains Afenifere leader


Sonibare cautions Tinubu’s media handlers to stop creating tension in Afenifere
• Your celebration of Tinubu’s endorsement by Makinde is laughable, Oyo PDP mocks APC
• Tinubu as president will not disappoint Nigerians – SWAGA

After days of chest-thumping, the patriarch of the Yoruba apex socio-political group, Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, has declared that Chief Ayo Adebanjo remains the leader of the group.

In a statement made available to journalists in Akure, yesterday, Personal Assistant to the patriarch, Adedapo Abiola, debunked as mere rumour reports that Adebanjo had been de-robed of his leadership position.

On Wednesday, reports had been rife that Adebanjo, who is the acting leader of the group, had been suspended as a fall-out of the endorsement of All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Sunday.

Recall that Tinubu was received by some Afenifere and Yoruba leaders at Fasoranti’s house in Akure, throwing their weight behind him ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Days after, the supposed endorsement had caused divisions within the group, as it is divided into the Labour Party (LP) faction, led by Adebanjo, who was conspicuously absent in the Akure meeting; and the Fasoranti-led faction rooting for Tinubu.

But in a retraction of recent developments, Abiola said: “It has come to Papa R.F. Fasoranti’s knowledge that some sections of the media, especially the social media, have been ascribing to him false statements designed to cause confusion and polarise Afenifere.

“I have Papa’s permission to say that he has not said that Chief Adebanjo is no longer the acting leader of Afenifere or that all future Afenifere meetings should henceforth be held at his residence in Akure.”

He explained that “Papa’s main concern is the interest of Yoruba in the complex political situation in Nigeria. It is also his concern that Afenifere should survive in dignity and remain a purveyor of the interest of the Yoruba race.”

FOLLOWING yesterday’s position of Fasoranti that his successor, Adebanjo, remained the leader of Afenifere, the chairman of the Lagos branch of the group, Chief Supo Sonibare, told The Guardian that the issue between the two elders has been resolved.

Sonibare said: “It was unfortunate that the media handlers of Tinubu deliberately created unfounded misunderstanding between the two nonagenarians for wherever intention they aimed to achieve.”

He also dismissed the allegation that Adebanjo unilaterally endorsed Obi. According to him, “I do not think it was right to intentionally demonise Pa Adebanjo. Majority of the people in the Afenifere executive endorsed Obi. The matter was taken to the General Assembly, where all state chairmen of the group were present and Obi was endorsed. The issue simply became aggravated due to politics and interest.”

Sonibare said he could not understand why the endorsement of Obi by Afenifere suddenly became a controversy leading to an altercation between the two leaders.
“This is not the first time the organisation would endorse a presidential candidate. There was a time it endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari, former President Goodluck Jonathan and even former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

“The handlers of Tinubu media should understand that after politics and the 2023 general election, the Yoruba race would continue and posterity would judge whatever anyone does.”

He charged those promoting animosity between Adebanjo and Fasoranti to refrain, saying “they should stop using emotional blackmail to pit the elders against one another. Tinubu should tell his people to focus more on issues and how to sell their party to Nigeria, rather than trying to destroy Afenifere. If APC is a brand as they claim, why are they now trying to take on the brand of Afenifere. They should allow peace reign in Afenifere.”

In another reaction, Pa Akin Oke, immediate past state chairman of Oyo APC, who is also one of the followers of the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, leader of defunct Action Group (AG), said it was good that peace is gradually returning to Afenifere with the position taken by Fasoranti.

He, however, expressed reservation over the manner Chief Adebanjo endorsed Obi.

He noted that the issue is a minor one but for the fact that some people felt Adebanjo and or Afenifere leaders cannot take such a crucial decision to support Obi on behalf of the entire Yoruba people without due consultation.
MEANWHILE, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State, yesterday, described as laughable and pathetic the reaction of the state chapter of APC to the purported endorsement of Tinubu by the governor, Seyi Makinde. The Oyo PDP said APC has further shown the world its pitiable condition as far as current political realities are concerned.

“By celebrating the purported endorsement, which amounts to a fluke, APC has shown itself as fickle-minded, whose thinking is far removed from state and national realities,” it said.

“The governor, who is not only leader of PDP in Oyo, but also the entire Southwest, did not at any fora endorse the candidature of Tinubu. For the sake of emphasis, Governor Makinde never endorsed Tinubu against his own party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

“What happened is that Senator Oloye Teslim Folarin and his hallucinating APC members tried to misrepresent the information by the deputy governor. This is the true state of things and we made bold to reiterate that Oyo State and PDP will not do anything politically that undermines the interest of the state and her people.

“We urge our people to ignore and discountenance the misinformation being peddled around by APC as false propaganda, which has been their hallmark since the creation of the party. Little wonder that the same APC government, which recently bestowed on ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, an award of excellence in public service, is the same party that rode to power on the strength of false propaganda, mischief and malicious campaign against the same man so honoured.”

THE Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has commended Fasoranti for endorsing Tinubu as his preferred presidential candidate. MURIC, in a statement by its director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, yesterday, said Fasoranti’s endorsement is capable of uniting the Yoruba people as Christians and Muslims will now rally behind the former Lagos governor.

“MURIC commends Pa Fasoranti for his sportsmanship and broadmindedness. His name will be engraved in letters of gold for ignoring the illogical, irrational and inexplicable choice of Pa Adebanjo, who declared support for Peter Obi,” MURIC’s statement read in part.

“The likely fallout of this development is a future payback by Yoruba Muslims who have shown the willingness to support a Christian candidate in future if their Christian counterparts vote for Tinubu, a Yoruba Muslim, in 2023.”

Also, Nigerians have been urged to have faith in Tinubu, saying he will not disappoint the country if he wins the election. The call was made by Senator Dayo Adeyeye, National Convener, South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA) during the commissioning of the Osun State secretariat of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign in Osogbo yesterday.

Oyetunde Ojo, who represented Adeyeye, described the APC presidential candidate as a man bereft of religious bigotry and someone who ensures that things are done as and when due.

Ojo who revealed that SWAGA started from Osun, also added that Asiwaju will be president for all Nigerians, not Yoruba alone.

The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba AbdulRosheed Adewale Akanbi, in his remark warned against betrayal. Speaking on behalf of other monarchs present at the event, Oba Akanbi urged all eligible voters to vote en masse for Tinubu.

His words: “We must all vote for Asiwaju Tinubu because he is our son.”

Oba Akanbi also maintained that the move for Tinubu to be president in 2023 is greater than the quest of the late Awolowo, adding that Awolowo’s prayers must be answered.

“Awolowo’s prayers must come to pass through Tinubu. This is not about political parties but about Yoruba. All Yoruba must vote for Tinubu for others to vote for him. All Yoruba are for Asiwaju and he will act as a bridge builder and he is marketable,” he stated.
