McCarthy seems like he will lose the 4th Ballot as well.

Lol @ a Republican nominating an African American for Speaker, promptly comparing him to Jeffries as the 1st 2 African Americans ever nominated at the same time, then saying they don't choose people based on skin color. ahahhahahahaha

This thread.... Some of these discussions are mind numbingly vacuous. These mods need to get better at making sure banned people remained banned or at least a mute poster button.

happney65:
Exactly. You said the truth and nothing but the truth

Not sure about that. At some point there will have to be a consensus candidate that emerges that can get 218 Republican votes, maybe Scalisle or Stefanik. Seems personal that they want McCarthy to go down.

McCarthy seems to have lost the 3rd ballot as well.

sanpipita:
I'm seeing MAGA reps voted against him, I wonder what went wrong

He's not sufficiently crazy enough. MAGA doesn't really care about governing, just getting in front of Fox News. But Jim Jordan's speech was very interesting. Seems it had more of an air of a campaign speech for himself.

Seems McCarthy lost on the 2nd ballot as well.

1.) Dr McCullough? Literally Baylor had to get a restraining order on him to get him to stop saying he is affiliated with him.
2.) GoodSciencing? https://www.factcheck.org/2021/12/scicheck-article-makes-unfounded-claims-linking-athletes-injuries-deaths-to-vaccines/

I'm not doing this with you again. A quick google search would have stopped you from posting the nonsense above. But, I'm not sure you even research the stuff you post or have the intelligence to understand it.

You keep talking about liberal bubbles. Where the f do you think the majority of medical advances come from? Yes, liberal scientific bubbles in either liberal Ivy school sponsored research institutions or Companies started by those same grads. You really really really sound uninformed.

I try to treat everyone as a rational equally intelligent person. You've consistently proven you're neither. You're unwilling to do the work to have rational discussions or bring anything thoughtful to the conversation here. And so replying/reading what your write offers me no value. Good luck.

Looks like McCarthy won't be winning on the first ballot.

basilico:
What is incorrect ? Misinfo is the new liberal term for maintaining their safe space

Everything you wrote is wrong. Begin by taking a course in logic and statistics. You don't even seem to understand the difference between causation and correlation. Then start by figuring out where those stats are coming from; are they accurate, did the people who died actually get covid shots. Then compare the accurate numbers to numbers from previous years. And ask yourself if there was actually a statistical increase after the covid shots. Then the next step and the next step. It's called the scientific method. I did a quick analysis of these claims, and 1.) the numbers are wrong 2.) some people int he numbers who were claimed to have died from covid shots didn't even have covid shots, some died even before covid shots were even available. And there isn't even a statistical increase from prior years.

Honestly, I'm trying not to be insulting, but you sound so uneducated right now. A lot of the fallacies in your post are things I learned in high school. It makes me realize how blessed I am at the education I received. You also seem to jump from one nonsensical conspiracy theory to another even as they are all proven to be lies. You should figure out why.

But real talk, you shouldn't be putting out medical information if you aren't a medical doctor or haven't studied it thoroughly yourself. Esp. since it can get people killed. That should be a simple thing to understand. People's health isn't a game.

[quote author=basilico post=119673848][/quote]Can you stop with this BS. Google correlation vs. causation. You are actively spreading medical disinformation that could prevent someone from getting a vaccine that could lead to their death. Do better and be better.

That’s another point though.

But most people that buy dollars buy it because they really need it for online purchases. People don’t just buy dollars for fun. So most of those people will be forced to go to black market increasing the demand for dollars

I hear you. Another consideration is I assume when some people get to the black market and realize their purchase will be ~2x the cost, they'll rethink that purchase.

goody234:
They are buying it cheap from CBN ,then instead of settling their customers international transactions ...they are selling to their friends for profit these bankers should be lined up and shot !! for sabotaging our country very corrupt ppl

Yeah, I'm sure this is one of the principle reasons the naira is so high. Until the government gets serious about cracking down on Arbitrage, why would anyone who gets forex from CBN, not turn around and sell it on the black market. That's about a ~N300 profit per dollar for doing nothing.

dazzlingd:
Naira card is cheaper to use against dollar card. The option that favors naira most is using naira card to get dollar at a cheaper rate.
Now that they have stopped the use of naira card, people will be forced to buy dollar at black market rate which will further increase the demand for dollar and increase in the price of dollar

Not sure about the end of your logic. If the supply of dollars comes from the same place and people are forced to buy at the BM rate instead of the lower rates from their cards, less people will probably buy dollars. If less people buy dollars, there will be downward pressure on the exchange rate.

The policy sux, but maybe the most equitable solution. People who have the ability to do international transactions shouldn't be able to get those dollars when others can't at that rate.

Livelystone01:
It is obvious you are jobless. Can you imagine a grown-up fighting all over the internet on issues that his opinions cannot change?

Do you think I engage in the nonsense political brouhaha going on here?

If you think I support the GOP then you need help.

It is clear that you are here for the arguments...

Nothing wrong with discussions.. we only grow/lean things by challenging our previous understandings.
That being said, this is literally the Politics thread. Probably the one thread on issues that people's opinion of those issues can effect (voting, political advocacy).

[quote author=budaatum post=119550363][/quote]Bahahahah. Doesn't seem to be a coincidence that all his role models are crooks or end up indicited.

I realized I don't do a lot of West Africa travel and would love to switch it and check out some new places in 2023.

I'm looking for recommendations for any interesting weekend vacation trips I can do in and around W. Africa. Ideally the location would meet some of these criteria.
1.) Interesting - City/location/Resort with great food and something spectacular or noteworthy about it. Something spectacular could just be the local culture.
2.) Convenient - Something I can fly/drive to on a Thurs night/Fri morning and return that following Mon. morning.
3.) Safe and Nice - The accommodations have to be nice, safe and have great customer service.

Looking forward to hearing about and hopefully exploring these places.

Quick update. Tow data points. Had 2 US friends travel to Nigeria on expired Nigerian passports and both entered successfully. In fact one didn't even have his Nigerian passport with him when he arrived in Nigeria. I believe he had help and I'm not recommending that and I won't be trying that.

PDPGuy:
Southwest has canceled over 2,300 flights today
At this point, I wouldn’t really consider a Christmas trip to the East coast or Midwest anytime soon

Sux for Southwest. Used to be one of my favorite airlines. Could use my Chase points to buy tickets and cancel last minute without any penalty if I needed to.

One of Nigerians problems. We worship wealth without understanding the work that got it. OP should give a testimony not on what he has, but what he did to achieve it. The rest is useless. My 2 cents.

EvilRampage:
A fool flatter himself

He's not wrong. You went out in Lagos, felt nice when some random woman sat at your table, let them order at your table and them let them walk out. It sounds like you've never been out at night before. I'm at that Four Points often and unfortunately I treat every woman I meet there (there's a huge contingent of ashawo who come there), in fact I treat every woman I meet at night in Lagos as ashawo, until I know otherwise. The kind of stuff I've seen is mind boggling. Woman ordering extra meals to go home, extra meals for their husbands, mothers. Just wild. Chalk it up as a cheap lesson learned.

benalvino3:
Now you sound ignorant looking for confirmation bias.

Follow the story.

There have been people acquitted, you dodged it, not care, you have seen confirmation bias so you Want to mention me.

Your boy donjazet2 misses you... I didn't know you were gay XD

Not sure what your point is here. Here you go.

SlyFoxxProblem:
1) it has nothing to do with the OP. You’re too dull to realize I was dissing YOU by implying your (imaginary) girlfriend cannot even make this simple meal. Gosh you’re daft.

2) you’re proud to say your useless girlfriend cannot even cook I’m not surprised about that sha. Because that which does not even exist definitely can’t cook. Hahah Olodo has never even dated a career woman who can still hold it down in the kitchen. You’re a serious bolo With a worthless woman I swear.

3.) I just like you na. I don’t know why you hate me so much. It’s me and you on this nairaland hehehe.

I guess since she has house help and a driver, it means she doesn't know how to clean or drive... Your stupidity is limitless. When you get to the point where your time is actually worth something, you start deciding what to outsource as it actually saves you money(time). Hopefully you'll get there one day, but you seem more focused on wasting your time stalking me and bragging about paying 3k ashawo for sex.

But continue stalking me, I'm done engaging with you.

SlyFoxxProblem:
IjeBos A.K.A IjeBranson, the virgin CEO himself

Does your imaginary girlfriend prepare this kind meal for you too?

1.) As long his wife is getting the nutrients she needs, why are you commenting on what they eat?
2.) My girl doesn't cook for herself or me (unless I ask for something particular). She has a cook for that. Learn about value of your time. But you wouldn't understand dating a successful woman, being that the closest you get to women are the 3k ashawo you pay.
3.) Continue your stalkerish ways, running through threads mentioning my name. Can you be any more of a LOSER.

aswani:
I know there's an IPOB element to (blindly) supporting that slowpoke Trump but still, you have to wonder.

You should keep the tribalism out of it. But beyond that, you're right. Makes me wonder how they survive in Nigeria, where being able to spot a fraudster is paramount.

Mark Meadows who derided Hilary Clinton for not retaining Govt. Records, not only copied classified documents to give out to people with out clearance, but also burned documents in his White House fireplace. I don't even think the problem are these phony politicians. I think it's the people who though they receive ample evidence that they are phony, continue to stand by them.

SlyFoxxProblem:
Bahahaha IjeBranson, let me help you out; you can’t post them becuase they don’t exist, just like many of the other fraudulent claims you make here to inflate your sad little ego because in real life you are just another broken and depressed Akata internet warrior with a raging inferiority complex for home based Nigerians who are doing better than you. That’s why you keep saying things like “holy shit, in Lagos,” as if Lagos is some wasteland. I really wonder if you have been to Lagos lately to see what your mates are doing here lol. You will shit in your pants bro. Your annual salary in Murica is going down on drinks in some nightclubs on the island. If you don’t know let me tell you that for free hahah.

Sad little man. You reek of regret and desperation in all your posts attacking Nigeria and you think we can’t see it. Yea I talk about fvcking ho’s becuase that’s all this website is good for to me. We exchange b!tches numbers and smack around a few dumb liberals like you on here. That’s all. Nothing serious. I don’t take nairaland as my life like you hehehe. If you need help losing your virginity just let me know and we can control one of our brethren on the Ashawo thread who is in Yankee to send one olsoho your way heheh.


Lastly let this be the last time you call any of my girls an Ashawo. Yes I fvck and pay them but they are all precious to me okay? That girl I posted is more precious than any woman in your family. At least she takes care of her body not like that fat ass GMO filled slob called 1srGenAmerican she can only pray to have a body like that in this life


IjeBranson Virgin CEO

What my mates are doing in Lagos? Funny, I was just listening to one of my boys as he was interviewed on CNBC Africa. But, go on. Tell me about what my mates are doing in Lagos.

It's Lagos. Woman are everywhere. In fact the lounges I go to won't even let most women in without men.

Yeah, I'm sure this woman whose picture you plastered online while talking about how you pay and Bleep her is very precious to you...

You're a loser through and through.

SlyFoxxProblem:
Yeah right..Holding your Imaginary girlfriends hand abi? like any girl wants to date a complete lose/Trump deranged ass wiper like you hahahaha.

Oya post this your “gorgeous women” let’s see instead of huffing and puffing over what does not exist like you always do here see as I make my guy talk like small pikin “gorgeous women chasing me, holding my girlfriend hand, she laughs it off, shoot their shot yen, yen, yen,” hahhahaha. This one pain you oooo I’m really fucking with your head heheheh. I’ve called you out on the one you can’t deny.

Loser virgin boy. In fact your new name is Ije Branson hahaha. IjeBos the virgin CEO

Grow up. In what universe would I post a pic of any woman I date on here? Only losers such as yourself do that type of thing. Only losers like yourself feel the need to supplement their ego with that nonsense. In nearly every post you write you are talking about some chick you say you're smashing. You post on threads here exchanging numbers for 3k hookers as you get accolades from bigger losers than yourself. And you don't feel ashamed doing so. But clap for yourself you can afford an ashawo in Lagos. Big deal. Is that they extent of your accomplishments?

SlyFoxxProblem:
Hey guys. Let’s play a game. It’s called “guess who Slyfoxx is fvcking tonight”. Hehehe IjeBos and Obrigardo can never afford this kind of fine pussy in their life with their part time ass cleaning jobs in “muricah” hahaha.

Can you be any more of a loser than this? You're foaming at the mouth over a common Lagos ashawo? In Lagos? lol. Holy shit you're a loser. I don't pay prostitutes when I'm in Lagos. Why should I? There are enough gorgeous women who are actually doing real things with their lives who chase me.. to the extend of trying to pick me up even when I'm holding my g/f's hand. She laughs it off, saying, "they shot their shot". Show me a pic of a girl who looks like that who is accomplished, who you don't have to pay(rent) and maybe you'll be less of a loser. But, is this persona of yours really real? Wow, you really are a true and tried joker.

Ibime:
Tesla down another 10% today while Nasdaq, DJ30 and S&P500 are flat

Rats fleeing sinking ship

I should have shorted it last week.

Obrigardo:
What does that have to do with anything?

In another news, have you seen George Santos? Heard he's nowhere to be found.

Read an article about him today. Seems he admitted to some of the lies but intends to say in office. In a different era, he would have bowed out as his party would have forced him to. But with the advent of Trump and his brand of no accountability politics, he won't. Santos is at the apex of his power, esp. as the prospect of criminally charges loom large. McCarthy needs his vote and there is less of a chance a R will win again in that district. So, I'm sure they've made a deal for him to stay for his vote, well until he is indicted. Then he can scream witch hunt.
