This is why japan needs to open up to immigration. An african caregiver would have continued caring for her without complaints as long as he/she is well paid.You can't have an aging population because you refuse to have children and at the same time be anti immigration.

That's exactly the point
Not only Japan,
South Korea and most European countries also have that same problem.
They have a declining population with ridiculously low birthrates (1.26kids) and aging population.
When people suppose normally die by 70+, they keep living till 100 putting a serious financial and emotional strain on their kids.
White people and Mongoloids aren't that disposed to caring for their aged parents personally so they create old people's homes so they can tuck away their aged for others to deal with..
Unfortunately, the Blacks that can do the job are restricted from immigrating there..they rater allow Muslims and Arabs fill up their space just to be seen as politically correct.

The more you try to understand this religionnnnnn, the more confused you get and become. Is it that the adherents are deaf or what are they still doing in it.
If you do not want western values and influence why not stay in your shitthole and safe your self from this madnesssssss. I blame the White people issuing visas to them. They give visas to undeserving mofos and reject those that only want economic gains

That's exactly the point.
They issue and grant easy passage to Arabs and Muslims from Asia to immigrate and settle all in a bid to look politically correct,yet make it extremely difficult for qualified Black Africans to do the same.
France is a shadow of itself. Almost a 2nd world country. The UK is drowning in Islam as Pakistani men rove about stabbing and raping.
Europe is choking with Muslim influx yet Black African immigrants is the problem.

SisterAnn:
She should cheer up.

Have her baby.

Good hearted people should continue to support her and help set up a business for her to take care of herself and baby.

Though Joseph was an arse, this could be her only opportunity to be a mom.

With her condition, old age alone may not be easy to cope with alone.

Infact, when this baby is weaned, she should have another one to give the first a sibling.

I see joy in the horizon for her.

Lord bless her soul.

So that John can do his own and disappear..
And y'all can start calling men scum

Impactever:
How more biased can you be ?

You are simply a bloody liar.


Point of correction :


1. The Biafra -Nigeria Civil War was a genocide where over 3 million Biafrans were massacred by the Nigerian Federal Government Military Troops with the support of the Evil British Empire, USSR now Russia, and The United States who all has strategic interest in the abundant Crude oil Resources in the Biafran region.


The war as you described IT WAS NEVER BETWEEN NIGERIA AND THE BIAFRANS.

RATHER IT WAS 3 World Super Powers ( UK, RUSSIA , USA ) Combined together with the Nigeria Military to fight only the Biafrans.



2. The Biafrans never orchestrated any war.

Ojukwu never lured the Biafran to War. The War was brought to the Biafrans ...and they had no other option than to defend their land .

The war was brought to the Biafrans Shortly after some weeks that Biafra was peacefully and successfully created.

Note: Before the creation of Biafra, There was a Round -Table meeting , where All the Federations units that made up Nigeria all agreed and gave their support for the Creation of Biafra.

Biafra was also endorsed by all the African Countries at the Aburi Accord which held in Ghana.

The 2 major party involved signed a peace accord in Accra , Ghana


- The Federal Government of Nigeria, led by General Yakubu Gowon, and

- The Biafra Leader , led by Lt. Colonel Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.
(The Ike-Mba 1 of Nnewi )



3. The Evil British empire brainwashed the Federal Government of Nigeria led by General Yakubu Gowon into launching an attack on the Biafrans .....out of their evil Desire to keep Nigeria united to protect her evil economic and political influence over Nigeria.

And most importantly, their Fear that Biafra’s secession might encourage other breakaway states in Africa..and they would lose control over their colonies in Africa..


Role of Foreign Countries in the Biafran–Nigeria Genocide (1967–1970)

🇬🇧 United Kingdom (Britain) – Supported Nigeria

Britain was Nigeria’s strongest international supporters.

Why Britain supported Nigeria:

What Britain provided:

Weapons, ammunition, and military advisors

Diplomatic support in the UN

Financial backing through continued oil operations



---

🇷🇺 Soviet Union (USSR) – Supported Nigeria

Surprisingly, the Soviet Union joined Britain in supporting Nigeria, an unusual Cold War alignment.

Nigeria’s large population and strategic relevance

Desire to counteract Western (especially French) influence


What they provided:

Heavy weapons (MiG fighter jets, artillery, armored vehicles)

Fear of being seen as supporting secession

Priority on keeping Nigeria stable as a major African nation

Domestic political concerns during the Vietnam War


The U.S. did not send major weapons.

Summary of Alignments

Pro-Nigeria

🇬🇧 Britain

🇷🇺 Soviet Union

🇪🇬 Egypt

🇺🇸 United States (unofficially)


Pro-Biafra

🇫🇷 France

🇵🇹 Portugal

🇨🇮 Ivory Coast

🇬🇦 Gabon

🇿🇦 South Africa (indirectly)



In summary, the war has nothing to do with Ojukwu, it was simply a genocide masterminded by the Western Forces to destabilize Nigeria and Control The Crude oil Resources in the Biafran Region.


So next time, don't use your tribal biased mindset in discussing History. ...it makes you look so unreasonable.

By the way you're talking, it would seem Biafra was on its own jeje and everyone just started picking on them.
You didn't start from Jan 1966 with Ironsi..
When the war started, what was the fate of the minorities in the Niger Delta? The ones your kind massacred.
How about the invasion of MidWest region and the sacking of Benin? You just went for a stroll yeah?
My friend, it was war pure and simple, atrocities were committed on both sides.
The world sees it as such and that's it
If you Igbo want to carry it for head like gala and keep shouting genocide, that's your cupcake, no one else would

Nairaland is becoming stale. This a very old news now because it happened days ago.

Seun things shouldn't be like this here, you can do better.
Source for news as it breaks and update your platform. It makes Nairaland a better and reliable place to get news.

Back to the report: This is the time for Tinubu to assert Nigerian dominance in the sub region. [b]Give the coupists two weeks ultimatum to hand over power to the rightful winner of the election and go back to their barracks or you'll send just two battalion to boot them out. This is one of the ways to play international politics. They are just 2.1 million in populatio[/b]n.

This is how to earn respect, but no, he won't do it. Instead he will be eyeing loan to collect from that tiny country.

OBJ did it with one country like that ..what is Sao Tome and Principe. Their President came to visit. The army did coup. OBJ just called them direct and told them the President is coming back home, the coupists immediately relinquish the power and surrender themselves. That was when Nigeria was Nigeria

panpan:
Ten
Cape Verde, Senegal, The Gambia, Sierra Leone, Liberia
Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria

Two will experience a military coup next year

Dogalmighty17:
The NSA will never give any governor the license to import AK-47s into Nigeria. The office of the NSA is one that the Fulani consistently makes sure is headed by a Fulani man in any administration.

Without a certificate for arm importation, no reputable arms company will agree to sell to you. The only option will be to buy from the black market or gun runners. Any governor that does that is guaranteed to be impeached by his house of assembly under pressure from Abuja.

Most of the guns in the arms of these bandits were stolen from the Nigerian army armoury. The day the president decides that a comprehensive audit of Nigerian army armouries nation wide, Nigerians will be shocked to discover that over 40% of its armoury contents have been looted.

The ONSA can't block any Governor if they wish to import fitearms for use in the States defense. Be it Fulani Director. All it takes is legislation from the HoA and Senate. Importation would be done and the Nigeria Police will take stock , train and issue license to the Vigilantes.
Don't come and be spreading false info here

SmartPolician:
If the UK transfers Ekweremadu to Nigeria today, Tinubu will pardon him tomorrow and he will go home the same day.

The Brits understand Nigérian politicians so well. That's why our politicians' request was declined.

THIS IS WHAT THE BRITISH FORESAW AND PROMPTLY DECLINED THE REQUEST.
SEEMS THIS GOVT HAS NO IDEA HOW DAMAGED OUR REPUTATION IS.
NO CIVILIZED COUNTRY WILL DO ANY DEAL WITH US CONCERNING CONVICTED PERSONS

Walai:
Police signal in public domain ?
This is no longer funny, this country is gone.

There's no trust anymore.
No one trusts the Police to obey the order so they kukuma post am for all to say
However this is counterproductive as the criminal elements will now follow up on this..
Some things aren't meant for public consumption.

That's the nonsense with over centralization..
Everything must come to Abuja.
It's wrong..
This isn't Federal system at all.
Why should Civil Servants wanting to write promotion exams and interviews travel all the way to Abuja?
What's wrong with Virtual meetings?
Zoom or the likes within their State of operations?
Why can't they write their exams in their conference rooms?
Any small error and corrections in Passport Abuja
Any error in NIN. Abuja.
What's that all about?
Due to this archaic, ancient bureaucratic system, two families have lost their mothers and possibly grandmothers.
Nigeria has happened to them .

Dalil8:
Why aren't ppl going for an AK 47 or M4 rifle?

Why only shotguns and handguns tho?

And how much did you get yours?

Under the law, only pump action rifle can be licensed/permitted for civilians. Any other kind of firearm is illegal. Dane guns were once allowed for local hunters to be used freely, now a license is also required (though not as enforced).
AK-47 and the likes are fully automatic assault rifles. The fear of an armed civilian populace led the Military Govt to ban such, it simply got carried over by the civilian govt. National Service was meant to be 2 years military service for citizens above 18 to get the citizenry fit and combat ready for any external aggression. The Military Govt also fearing a combat ready and weapon aware population turned it into 1 year of useless service that has outlived it's usefulness.
You can't legally buy that weapon (AK-47) and get it licensed in Nigeria so stick with the pump action or get illegal handguns for protection.

Govt sponsored hack job.
This is the same way Liberal started
Rebels/Terrorists operating in the rural areas and creeping closer..
Doe's govt kept denying..granting press conferences, saying all is well..until the rebels matched into Monrovia unannounced.
Sierra Leone..same thing.
Rwanda's own was on radio, for weeks, the tension summered, Govt turned ostrich and buried head inside sand until it was too late.
Nigeria is treading on that same path..
Is it an African thing? To deny what is clearly visible to the eye? For politics or for power?
The only reason we haven't devolved into Liberia or Rwanda style is because of our size and population. If we were just several million, We would have gone through another civil war teytey.
That attitude of "it can't touch us" led to Liberia.
Let those that can hear hear..
Don't listen to this useless govt paid hack spouting nonsense.
Nigeria isn't secure..the danger is everywhere, though some areas have higher flashpoint than others.

Kwarans in the past have demonstrated their affinity for the North. Back in the 60s, they loudly proclaimed their love for the North and it showed in their politics and socio-cultural activities. They even voted against joining the Western Region. So they've laid their bed.
Amotekun can't come to rescue them. Let them seek help from the North they so much love and cherish.
I gladly dash the Fulani Kwara..
Do with it as they will

BondRiv:
U.S. help can only come with the consent of Nigeria. Who are those sponsoring terrorism? Which country owns the defunct USAID? All the military chiefs, even those retired are now quiet, including the Minister of Defence. They only know how to support the illegality of their errand boys like Yerima. When it comes to protecting our territorial integrity, you won't see them. Terrorists have turned Nigeria to their own Bahamas.

Like they sought the consent of Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, Vietnam?
Oga. If US wants to enter and bomb your country, they will come and there's nothing your country can do about it

Inside job

The population is getting too much.
Resources aren't enough.
Services are getting stretched out.
The system would soon overwhelm
Lagos must be decongested.
How can landmass of 3,000sqkm(mostly water) is housing 23 million people, a significant number non indigene, 20% of all vehicles are driven here.
Kilode?

Lovit:
But wait o, does it mean that if a lady accuses a man of something, police no dey do investigation?

why is the world against men?

A woman accuses her husband of raping the children, no one asked questions, no one investigated to confirm if true, you just bundle him to station

No one asked her to present a proof, CCTV footage or any other evidence to back up her claim

Na wa o!

Unfortunately that's the way the NPF works and probably most Police Agencies across the world.
The only difference is they would carry out investigation, test the kids and get a lawyer for the man to consult before putting down his statement. In a same country..this man would have been cleared days cos the kids weren't sexually molested so there's no basis for the accusation.
The thing that pained me most was the action of the Police personnel. Can you see that show of shame calling herself a policewoman? Is she the IPO? Can you just imagine her conduct, trying to coerce the man to write statement without the consul and presence of a lawyer? Do you know how many they've sent to prison on coerced statements?
The NPF continues to prove itself extremely incompetent and grossly unprofessional in its conduct.
I'm happy the man is found innocent.
I know his reputation is tarnished as his name is now linked to rape online. My prayer is for him to move on. His daughters look alike and like him however let him conduct DNA. If they belong to him, let him move on with his life..as the kids grow older and wiser, let him explain what transpired cos people are inherently wicked. They will use this episode in their lives to ridicule and shame them. I pray for God's guidance in their lives.
As for the woman, I can't call her a wife or mother..she's neither.
I hope she gets her day in court and the adequate judgement meted on her.
And to the rest of us that judged prematurely and concluded in our hearts on his guilt..let's offer a silent apology to this man.
Nigeria happened to him.
May Nigeria not happen to us

The heading is terrible.
What is combined?
How many countries are mentioned in the article? Just US and Nigeria.
So what is combining with Nigeria ,?

This is a prime example of buildings usually in FESTAC occupied by Igbos.

Macmilla:
Oga stop unnecessary arguments. He is right by saying you should use your parking brake at all times. Read your car manual, it is there. You are busy arguing over weight of car, do you lose anything if you use the parking brake on flat surface? Does it remove anything from you?
Also, when you park on flat surface with only your transmission park pin, the transmission is the only thing stopping your car from moving. Yes, there is little or no weight, but what happens when a car hits you when you are parked? On top of damage your car body, your tranny will also be toast.
Use your parking brake AT ALL TIMES. It doesn't cost you anything. But you can choose to be stubborn, it's a free world. It is your car, not mine.

Stop writing unnecessary long sentences.
You come off as unenlightened.
You don't need to engage hand brake at all times..
Who told you such gibberish?

The US vaccinates her soldiers whenever they're on a mission to foreign soil.
They study the land and it's peculiarities before deploying.
Your mosquitos can't do nada .

odejimioflagos:
Nigeria is a sovereign nation and will never accept any threats or invasion from any country, including the US. We appreciate the offer of assistance but we will solve our problems with our own solutions.

Ogbeni..if your clueless and inept president keeps handling this crisis with kids gloves and playing politics with innocent lives, the US will intervene militarily..
You think they care about your yeye sovereignty? They will invade and kill the bloody Islamic terrorists plus their Fulani backers and there's nothing you or anyone can do about it.
Terrorists are murdering people (Christians & Muslims) in the hundreds weekly and absolutely nothing is being done by the security apparatus.. you think any reasonable superpower would sit back and watch?
This thing goes beyond Nigeria,
By playing footsie with terrorists with expansionist agenda, you run the risk of them gaining more land and territory, radicalizing and gaining more followers, increasing and spreading the Islamic terrorism virus across the sub region.
Let the US come and take charge of our security since it's clear we can't do the job ourselves. And if they come to get the rare earth minerals and oil in the process, it's a welcome deal, shebi it's the oil we're so crazed about?
We will all learn the hard way

Cryomancer:
From what you mentioned concerning the rough idle and low RPM, I'll suggest you inspect thoroughly for carbon deposits in specific areas like the EGR, throttle body, exhaust manifold, and one other place at the top of your engine (I don't know what it's called but it packs lots of carbon as well). Also check your fuel injectors to be sure none of them are blocked and they are all spraying fuel easily

I once experienced same issue without any check engine light on the dashboard. Those mentioned areas above were cleaned out and my car started breathing fine.

Good luck Sir.

Thanks..
There was no vacuum leaks.
The throttle body and Idle Air intake valve was dirty..it was cleaned with Carb cleaner including the sensor.
The rough idling has stopped ..
Now I'm faced with a new challenge.
The rpm doesn't exceed 3000 when raised on idle and the cruise control function has stopped working..
Jeez..
From one issue to another

Modified: I rechecked the throttle body..I discovered the MAP sensor was partially disconnected. I plugged it back and the RPM went above 4000 rpm..
Sigh of relief

yemmit90:
So painful to lose a big imported turkey that worth 80k or more. The thief is probably one of your close friends or neighbours who has seen it or know about turkey and where to sell it.

Try to visit where they sell poultry birds in your area and check if you can see it. Also try to stylislishly interrogate some children around you (only say you are looking for a big white turkey), you make take one or two things from their statements. And don't ask them in the present of their parents or adults.

Thieves often underestimate children. They feel their attention span is short and don't remember things and thus perpetuate crime in their presence with little afterthought.
Ask the kids..they'll tell you a good yarn.
However be careful and only talk to kids you know o else it might be mistaken for something else these days

flokii:
If they are envious of you.. why not pack your things and leave?
Why must you remain where you feel you're envied and hated?. makes no logical sense except you can't survive without those people you claim envy you.

It's just like the case of tick (parasite) complaining that the dog (host) envies it, while it still sticks to the dog's body, sucking blood from it.
Who is fooling who?. the tick should leave the dog's body first and see if it won't die within a short period.

They will tell you the Constitution provides for them staying anywhere in Nigeria and if you want them done..give them Biafra.
Imagine the flawed logic.
You're hated and not wanted yet you refuse to go despite all the insults and destruction...
You have 5 Igbo governors and so many Senators and HoR.. can't anyone of them move the motion for referendum to free the Igbo and declare Biafra? You're waiting for Yoruba to move the motion for you?
Move all your businesses to the East, sell your properties and never come back here..I guess that's too hard to do..
That death and destruction you see coming a mile away but you're too stubborn to move..it will find you and level y'all in SW.
This is just the beginning.

Nwaikpe:
I was not impressed with Trump's order to test nukes.

The strength of America and Israel is their silence.

The power in their silence is more powerful than any power they can display.

Without military parades, we all know that America is the greatest. Without weapons testing, we all know that America is the greatest. With China, North Korea, Iran, and Russia's hardware testings and glamorous millitary parade, we know that they do so just to shake their small nyyassh. They do so to intimidate. But you see, Israel, without even one military parade or weapons display, we know that they are 20 times stronger than the strongest military in the Middle East (Egypt—Iran is like the 4th strongest in the Middle East after Saudi Arabia and Jordan). Display of strength is for the weak. Prove of strength is for the strong.

You don't know shishi.
You think Russia is bragging about it's weapons?
You're still a child.
There's no weapon the West has that Russia doesn't have it's equivalent.
US might hide theirs believing in their superiority, whereas Soviet styled Governments showcase theirs..whilst keeping the bigger one hiding..
This acts like a deterrent.
The whole world knows Russia has it so do the West Incase you want to attack ..it's your allies that would dissuade you cos they would bear the immediate brunt of Russia's wrath

GloriousGbola:
People esp men aged much faster then - maybe due to smoking.

You can Google 30 year old 70s vs 30 year old 00s

You're right .
Men in that era aged much faster..
There's a picture of a 17yr old guy that enlisted in WW1. He had so much mustache and sideburns..i thought he was in his mid 30s.
It's now that men have been sissified.
