It seems you are right.

No. She's exactly like Kanye. Unlike her little sister, Chicago, who has Kim's nature.
She even gives Kim a hard time.

I dare say Kim is kinda scared of her.

This here is the highest level of wickedness. Someone earning #100,000 per month in Nigeria is? I mean #100,000 naira o

franchasofficia:
So according to this Tinubu's tax collector, anybody earning 100,000 naira monthly in Nigeria is rich?


Can you people see the wickedness of Tinubu and his APC just to tax Nigerians to extreme poverty?


If truly Tinubu meant well for Nigerians and wanted to tax only the rich, why didn't he peg it at those earning NGN500,000 and above? And 100million annual turnover for small businesses registered under business name?

This is strange!
The barrage of online PR urchins defending Dangote—where are they trooping out from?

Is Douglas Macgregor pro Iran?

Grok Answer:

Douglas Macgregor, a retired U.S. Army Colonel and political commentator, is not explicitly "pro-Iran" in the sense of advocating for Iran's regime or its policies. However, his views on U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding the Middle East, have led some to interpret his stance as sympathetic to Iran’s position in certain contexts.

Based on available information, here’s a breakdown:

Macgregor has consistently criticized U.S. military interventions in the Middle East, including the Iraq War and potential conflicts with Iran. He argues that wars in the region, including a possible war with Iran, are not in America’s strategic interest and often serve the agendas of other nations, particularly Israel.

For example, in a May 2025 article, he condemned the idea of a war with Iran as "not necessary" and "not just," urging the U.S. to avoid sacrificing American lives for foreign interests. He has also suggested that Iran seeks peace in the region, pointing to its cooperation with Iraq and Syria against ISIS, which some interpret as a defense of Iran’s actions.

On X, Macgregor has posted statements that appear to downplay Iran as a direct threat to the U.S. For instance, in February 2025, he claimed that "radical religious Khomeinism in Iran has diminished" and advocated for good relations with a "nuclear-free Iran," noting Israel as a complicating factor.

In other posts, he warned that a war with Iran would align the U.S. against a state backed by Russia and China, suggesting such a conflict would be disastrous. These views align with his broader "America First" stance, emphasizing U.S. disengagement from Middle Eastern conflicts.

Critics, however, have accused Macgregor of spreading narratives that align with Iran’s interests. His skepticism of mainstream media reports about Iran’s nuclear program and his assertion that Iran is "not about to surrender" or crumble under pressure have been seen by some as echoing Iranian talking points.

Additionally, his claim that Iran could "destroy Israel in one day" due to its missile arsenal, while framed as a strategic observation, has been interpreted by some as amplifying Iran’s military capabilities.

On the other hand, Macgregor’s supporters view his positions as pragmatic, arguing he’s not pro-Iran but anti-war and critical of U.S. policies driven by neoconservative agendas or Israeli influence. His call for a ceasefire, a UN Security Council meeting, and a peace conference involving Iran, Israel, and other states reflects a desire to de-escalate rather than endorse Iran.

In summary, Macgregor is not "pro-Iran" in an ideological sense, but his opposition to U.S. military action against Iran, his critique of Israel’s role in regional conflicts, and his portrayal of Iran as a rational actor seeking peace can give the impression of alignment with Iran’s perspective. His primary focus remains on prioritizing U.S. interests and avoiding costly wars.

On this day Dec 5, 2016. Reno Omokri wrote this about Prof. Wole Soyinka.

What kind of human beings are these people?

No, Seun was warned many years back if he did not do something about some nairaland members critising Islam, and having opposing views about Islamic topics.

I think they call it fatwa

dahmie2013:
Don't be deceived with ephemeral, that religion you mention, is given preference over Christianity. Why do they have a special section on nairaland & Christians it is "Christianity etc"? Anyways, Seun is hell bent on promoting segregation and discrimination.

But all that happened in the dark ages. Bro, we are now in 21st century now, haba!

Anyway, I have since concluded that most Africa countries don't have leaders but rulers.

Bede2u:
when whites held sole power (now they share with Asians), they enslaved the whole world and did unspeakable things.
As bad as blacks are, we have not shown the amount of wickedness a white person can show on non whites. Ask Hiroshima how that bomb felt. Ask your forefathers how slavery felt.
Hong Kong was captured as a cocain port to feed Chinese people cocain by Britain. Ask south Africans how whites ruled them.
Anyone who thinks any race can be more power drunk than whites is either a white man or had limited knowledge of history

If you think this president's son is evil, read about European Princes of old and what they did to their subjects. Or what king Leopold did in congo

Wait!

Where is this propaganda coming from?

Pay per view?

Hey! Stop mixing things up.

Nobody is asking Multichoice the parent company of Nigeria DSTV and GOTV for pay per view.

Yes, Multichoice already knows Nigerians demand - pay per channel, period.

Who between these 2 people is truely the father of the internet: Vinton Cerf and Philip Emegwali?

Determining the "true father of the internet" is tricky because the internet's development was a collaborative effort involving many brilliant minds over decades. However, let’s look at the contributions of Vinton Cerf and Philip Emeagwali to clarify their roles.

Vinton Cerf is widely recognized as one of the key architects of the internet. In the 1970s, alongside Robert Kahn, he co-developed TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), the foundational protocols that allow computers to communicate over interconnected networks. This work, funded by DARPA, was critical to creating the internet as we know it—a global, scalable network of networks. Cerf’s contributions are concrete, widely documented, and directly tied to the internet’s infrastructure. He’s often called a "father of the internet" for good reason.

Philip Emeagwali, on the other hand, is a Nigerian computer scientist known for his work in the late 1980s on supercomputing. He used a massively parallel computer (the Connection Machine) to solve complex computational problems, like modeling oil reservoir flows, and won the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize for this achievement. While impressive, this work built on existing network technologies rather than creating them. Claims that Emeagwali "invented the internet" stem largely from self-promotion and misinterpretations of his contributions. His work was more about advancing computing power than designing the internet’s core architecture.

Between the two, Vinton Cerf’s role is far more directly tied to the internet’s creation. The internet existed as ARPANET by 1969 and evolved through TCP/IP in the 1980s—well before Emeagwali’s supercomputing work. Cerf’s contributions were foundational; Emeagwali’s were not. So, if we’re picking one, Cerf gets the nod based on historical evidence and impact.

That said, the internet doesn’t have a single "father"—it’s more like a village raised it. Cerf himself would likely credit Kahn, Jon Postel, Tim Berners-Lee (for the World Wide Web), and others too. But between these two? Cerf’s the clearer choice.

So farmers and people lives are not more important than the critical infrastructures?

Was the Lagos-Calabar Highway construction project ever put out for public tender or bidding?

@Grok Answer:

Based on available information, the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway construction project does not appear to have been put out for public tender or competitive bidding in the traditional sense.

The contract for this 700-kilometer highway project was awarded to Hitech Construction Company Limited, a firm owned by Gilbert Chagoury, without a documented open competitive bidding process.

Several sources indicate that this decision has sparked significant controversy and allegations of non-compliance with Nigeria’s Public Procurement Act of 2007, which mandates transparency and competitiveness in awarding public contracts.

Nigeria’s Minister of Works, David Umahi, has defended the award, arguing that the selection of Hitech was based on the company’s competence and track record, notably its prior work on reclamation projects in Lagos.

He has suggested that the Procurement Act allows for exceptions where a contractor’s specific skills justify a direct award, though critics argue that no such provision explicitly permits bypassing competitive bidding for a project of this scale—estimated at N15.6 trillion—without clear justification or transparency.

Umahi has also claimed that the project initially followed a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, with Hitech expected to fund it and recover costs through tolls, but later statements indicated government funding, further muddying the procurement process.

Public figures, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Lagos governorship candidate Funso Doherty, have criticized the lack of competitive bidding, pointing out that no public tender was advertised, nor was the Federal Executive Council’s (FEC) approval documented before the award.

Reports suggest construction began before an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) was fully completed or publicly reviewed, adding to concerns about due process.

While the government has maintained that the project aligns with legal and practical considerations, no evidence has surfaced of an open tender process inviting multiple bidders, as is standard for major public infrastructure projects in Nigeria.

In summary, the Lagos-Calabar Highway project does not seem to have been subjected to public tender or competitive bidding, with the contract instead awarded directly to Hitech Construction under circumstances that remain contentious and debated as of March 14, 2025.

USA won't ban Nigeria because they are building their biggest embassy in Eko Atlantic.

This quote right here is my experience with the inverter LG fridge in the last 3 years.

yinkus6750:
You can't compare inverter fridge/ freezer with normal ones.
The inverter ones are better in an environment where you have constant light. Few hours without light will still give the right retention. But if it gets prolonged without light, it's dangerous as you will get spoilt items. A normal freezer might remain frozen and last for 48-72hours without light. While inverter without light is likely to be within 24 hours

United States sponsoring Boko Haram?

You mean saner climes like the United States that have been sponsoring Boko Haram?! How many people have resigned because of this allegation in the U.S.A by a whole Congressman Scotty Perry. lol 😂

Oh, and in your frozen brain, you are thinking your lord and saviour, the village idiot wouldn't have issued an average of 200 orders per year by time he is done with his second term at the rate he is going?

Except for the Lgbt order, most of the orders are hinged on personal vendetta and desire to really show his true self - a dictator.

That's because you're uneducated/uninformed.......Before you criticize something try to learn about it so that you can make an informed decision, no be everything be cho cho cho.

Yes, before now I was of the opinion that America is the standard of democracy.

Because how can a president wake everyday in a suppose democratic setting and be issuing orders like a military junta issuing decrees.

Abacha of Nigeria in his dark days never did up to these.

Hallmark of democracy my foot!!!

The rottenness in that Nation's democracy is now out for all to see...

America democracy is also nonsense!

A flight to NK or dump them at the border with SK, make those 3 kuku commit suicide oo, their tunnel no get light for end

While I agreed that no field of study is easy to get perfect CGPA. If one is extremely good at Mathematics, you can easily get a perfect grade in Engineering but in courses like these guys did - pure sciences which are majorly writing and wordy, omo it will not only take brain but also grace, and favor (lecturers can mark you down as hes/he wishes no matter what you write i.e it is not 2+2 which is universally accepted to be 4).
