Sadly, have to quote you to inform you so you know why we ignore you instead of letting you believe your alternative facts.

We don't quote you because we do not find you desirable to converse with. Sensible people don't willingly swim in nuclear waste after all, and as you can see, your attention seeking is failing.

Sadly, I don't think he'll get it. Honestly, I'm sure 90% off his posts are about me. He mentions me in random threads for no apparent reason. It's stalker like obsessive compulsive behavior. It's like he has a crush on me and that is why he is determined to figure out who I am.

So many levels to this.
Biden really only had 2 options, negotiate for both's release or Griner. Given the circumstances/background of how they were both incarcerated, given what African Americans have done for him in South Carolina (gave him the nomination), in the election and in the midterms he couldn't have chosen Wheelan over Griner. Just plain politics. But, he has to be prepared to be seen as playing racial politics.

The Republicans have to be careful as well. Wheelan may have been court martialed from the Marine's so playing the Marine card may blow up. They also have to be careful in alienating the Black Vote.

Also, Putin clearly knew what he was doing. Still trying to cause division and racial tension in the US.

Interesting how it shakes out.

Not only that he had a Bad Conduct Discharge (BCD) from the US Marines. But I called it.
Edit, actually they went further, clean cut white guy vs. big black person with dreads and tattoos. Look at the pics they chose.

Britany Griner released by Russian authorities in a prisoner swap deal where arms dealer Viktor Bout known as merchant of death was released by the US

I'm waiting to see how the Right spins this. Paul Wheelan who was sentenced earlier was not included in the deal. Waiting to see if Republicans cast this as a Black vs. White thing.

When you bury your head in the sand and ignore every documented proof provided, then to you, nothing will be good enough for you. I and coolusername realized that you are more interested in using grammar to try and look smart than you are interested in the fact of the matter. Basilico can only try with you.

You seem like the guy in this clip, talk talk.

1.) I think you meant vocabulary not grammar.
https://www.differencebetween.info/difference-between-grammar-and-vocabulary

2.) He's right. Unfortunately, you've decided to align with a group of people(Trump Republicans) who are generally uneducated. Look at the studies of who the common Trump voter is. (Question: why do you find commonality with the uneducated?). The "FACTS" you think are "FACTS" aren't. Kellyanne Conway even coined a phrase "Alternate Facts". Look at my discussion with basilico yesterday. He started with a premise that Hilary Clinton did something illegal and had classified emails on her server. When the facts didn't bear out his premise, he kept insisting. Then started with the conspiracy theories. The Trump and Bill Barr FBI and DOJ were all wrong and they didn't know what they were doing or they just didn't want to find anything and didn't search hard enough. A rational person presented with all those facts would go back and question their own premise and figure out where they went wrong with theat premise. Not Trumpers. Their premises are like religion to them. And must be believed out of faith.

EnlightenedUFO:
And i'll bet my house, this classified documents were handled by someone else, and certainly outside a SCIF! This is a grave danger and Jack Smith must waste no time in ushering in swift justice.

That's what I was wondering. They did say they hired an outside company to do it. So, was waiting to understand who the company was and if they had clearances for it. But, yeah, the DOJ is still being way to amenable to him.

basilico:
Sure you know what is crap? Tell me how for 4 years as SOS no classified emails not a single one to you

I'm not even sure what you are asking. The problem is that you assume you are more knowledgeable about this topic than you are. You are more knowledgeable than Comey, the FBI and the DOJ. You believe something is so, therefore it is so, truth and fact be damned. It's the new Republican way. They've spent a decade ridiculing and mocking Education. So, now everyone is an expert because they feel they are or because they think they have common sense. As if everything can be reduced to that. If you really want to know about how US classification systems work, GOOGLE it. If you really want to understand why it's hard for her to have classified email on her own server, GOOGLE it. If you want to understand why Hilary Clinton as a person would have tried to make sure she didn't have classified info in her personal email, GOOGLE it and her. But it requires checking your preconceived notions at the door and a willingness to challenge what you think. Basically, it'll be a pointless exercise for you.

basilico:
FBI never invetigates the rats. Tell me how can someone use a server at her level without top secret stuff shuffling through. comey says seven email chains were classsified at the top level... Most likely a lie. Many were I surmise

Wow. Did you watch the video? There were 0 classified emails on her server. Not 7, 0. They may have retroactively classified some. But at the time they were sent there were 0. It's amazing that you think know better than the FBI and DOJ under Trump and Bill Barr.

AGT007:
Yea, referring to home country as Nigeria.

I did not know you have a US passport. You can fly back to US on your passport without renewing the naija passport.

I would hope so. But, I do remember them haranguing me for my Nigerian passport when I was flying out once. Maybe they were just looking for money. But will get the NIN and passport done while there. Well at least the NIN.

Thanks, was trying to update and keep the thread as detailed as possible in case someone is looking for this info in the future.

AGT007:
How quickly did you get the new passport?

It's been almost 5 years now. I know previous to the last renewal, I would get them same day. The last time I had to give them an Paid Overnight Label and envelope so they could overnight it to me. I want to say it took 1 week from the appointment. And I also remember having to be quiet while being abused for waiting last minute to do the renewal in order to get him to overnight it. Not sure what the policy is now. Maybe someone who has done it recently can chime in.

AGT007:
As a Nigerian returning to Nigeria on a Nigerian Passport, the expiration doesn’t matter. The airline will fly you TO your home country on an expired passport. They just cannot fly you FROM your home country on an expired passport.

So it’s not an issue going to naija but once there, you cannot leave without renewing.

True. Just for clarification. I believe the Airline will only fly you to your Home country if your Home country allows you to enter with their expired passport or without a passport. Nigeria allows you to enter with an expired Nigerian passport. But if you were referring to Home Country as just Nigeria, then your statement is accurate.

The 2nd part is interesting. I have an American passport. Can Nigeria not let you leave on your American passport if you don't renew your Nigerian passport?

abusigna:
please can you share the person contact number ?

I just went on the website and called the contact number there. Called a bunch of times. I think I got someone by pressing 0.

basilico:
I posted a video from FBI director saying she had classified emails.
i can send you bundles

As you can tell, unlike you I don't speak unless I'm 100% confident in what I'm speaking about.
This is going to be the end of me and you on this topic. Look at the dates of this hearing. This was at the end of the investigation.
There were 0 classified emails on her server. Listen carefully to this hearing. Again, listen carefully and let it enter your head.

A secretary of state oversees a huge department. She/he has access to Top Secret Classified info. hillary was transacting state business using an email server in her house. Top Secret email that she was receiving.
Using her blackberry she goes to China and Russia and is send/receive email. Think those countries did not hack her Microsoft Exchange server in her basement?

Most of this is rubbish.

1.) Colin Powell had a private email as well. At the time she was SOS there was no prohibition on this.
https://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/colin-powell-defends-personal-email-227889
2.) There were no classified emails on Hilary Clinton's server
3.) Hilary Clinton as SOS had a huge security detail. She would not be in China or Russia with certain electronic devices. Even when I travel to China my company reminds me not to take certain electronic devices. And I'm not the Secreatry of State.

I'm not defending her actions, but we just had a President who literally took Top Secret Highly Compartmentalized (as in only a handful of people have access to it) data home with him and stored them in a barely secure room in a private club. I think that is levels and levels worse than what Hilary did. But you seem not really concerned. I wonder why that is?

One of Trump's very fine people. Actually, stuff like this has been picking up since Trump took office. All these cockroaches have started scurrying out.

He's emboldened all type of idiots like this guy. Mr "I'm not even going to say the N-word".

Android Charger has a higher output than Iphone Charger.

iPhones charger are of 2 types

10-15watt for iPhone 6 to XSmas/Iphone 11

20-35watt for Iphone 11proMax to 14pro max


Noted: when you used a higher output charger for a lower iPhones, its causes the Charging IC (U2) to spoil. Eg when plug , its shows only battery without ONing or without increasing the battery percentage.

The problem is repairable but costly

So why not buy appropriate charger for appropriate phone to avoid the story that touch...

Incase you need iPhones or Accessories
I based in Ilorin and do deliveries nationwide.
081-660-679-52 call or Whatsapp for Business or Enquiries

Again, this info isn't accurate. 1.) Not all Android chargers have power outputs greater than Iphone chargers. 2.)Phones will draw only the amount of Power they need. Imagine the Adapter as a Hose that can be opened to the maximum power output of that adaptor. The Iphone will open that hose as much as it needed depending on what protocol it's charging with. It won't get more more than it needs. Now, that is if the adapter is manufactured properly. So, focus on buying well made adapters and cables.

Iolo:
You can actually enter nigeria with an expired passport. According to the new policy. I can’t guarantee immigration won’t hassle you though. But I’ve heard a few people do that and sort their passport when they land. The choice is yours.

You were absolutely right. Reached out to the Embassy and then Delta to confirm. You can enter with an expired passport. The Nigerian immigration said it has to be a 10 year passport. But, not sure how they would expect airline agents to know the difference. I'll be at the airport in a couple of days and I'll just drop by a Delta International agent to triple check. Thanks again for the help.

https://ng.usembassy.gov/routine-message-to-u-s-citizens-travel-to-united-states-with-expired-passport/

I did get a hold of someone at the Embassy. Below is a summation of the info I was given.

1.) The NIN cannot be done the same day as the passport renewal. The NIN has to be done first.
2.) It is possible to fly to Nigeria with an expired passport. The rep. suggested I call the airline to see if they will fly me without a valid passport. This part is the trickiest. I think the problem is that airlines are required to fly you back if you are not allowed entry in a foreign country. So it is a risk for airlines to fly travelers without entry documents.
3.) She also suggested I can get apply for an emergency travel document that I can give to the airlines.

I'm going to reach out to Delta to understand their policy so I can understand the easiest path.

AGT007:
Is it okay to just go to the embassy for passport renewal on a day I don't have appointment? I got appointment for December 20 but do not want to wait till that day.

I have gone on a day outside my appointment time and did get it done. Can't recall if I called in before hand or even if they gave me a hard time about it. And not sure what the system is now. Call them.

I sat down in group talks about the Nigerian situation and the remedy. When we finished all the threads, we couldn't figure out how to handle Oil and who gets to control it in the eventual break-up. And this is a topic much of the pundits on channels, arise and co haven't addressed or afraid of

Yeah, I could see that. Honestly, I've never taking a real Nigerian history class(took a History of Africa class(very ambitious class) as an elective in University) so my knowledge extends as much as what I read in books and I what I pick up. But, the current situation doesn't seem tenable that the North has the balance of power but economic development seems to be localized elsewhere.

In another case of "who are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?". At least the media is getting better at writing these headlines.

How do we solve the issue of the oil and gas megalomaniac behemoth? Nigeria's only problem is the Dutch disease. If you can find out how a parliamentary self governance can handle the issue of oil and Shell with all their complex weavings over generations then we are onto something

I wonder if it's more a problem of leadership than anything else. I think Nigeria may too fractured a country. And people are comfortable with the condition, comfortable eeking out a life rather than the potential of a sacrifice. Whatever happens in Ukraine, their people have impressed me at the level of their sacrifice for their country. I always wonder, could that be Nigerians?

Remember don’t use android adapter with iphone cable to charge iPhone.(if u know, u know)

I'm sure this is wrong. It depends on the amount of Power the android adapter puts out. But I'm open to hearing why you would say this.

AlphaTaikun:
Nicely put @Saxywale2, your line of thought strongly resonates with mine!

Back in the early 2000s, I grabbed and read a copy of the classic book,
"From Third World to First" by the father of modern-day Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew. The massive book of over 700 pages literally made me realize how to build a country if you have a visionary leader, and highly motivated citizens. Slightly over 80% of Singaporeans are of Chinese descent with the rest being
ethnic Malays and Indians.

This ethnic configuration made it a bit easy for them to navigate. There were ethnic riots too in Singapore and Malaysia back in the 1960s. But then Lee Kuan Yew set up industrial estates, boosted education, upgraded military service for Singapore citizens, and made his city-state into a major financial hub.

I noticed that these were some of the things that Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, did as the Prime Minister of the Old Western Region in the 1950s, setting up many investment vehicles, industrial estates in what is now Lagos State, Ibadan, etc, and at independence, the Western Region was rich
enough to even donate the first building used by Nigeria as a high commission in London.

A decentralized Nigeria would make it easier to reach the goal of rubbing shoulders economically and militarily with the Asian Tiger nations, and much more.

Then the world would respect a decentralised Nigeria (and the rest of the people of African descent worldwide) that can independently send her own space satellites and astronauts into outer space, and more!

Ray Dalio also talks about the "changing world order" with a strong warning for the U.S., and any country that wants to succeed today had better follow his warnings.

Unfortunately, the centralized Nigeria as of today exhibits all the negative indices the American billionaire Ray Dalio talked about in his book that have led to the fall of empires... and the U.S. manifests some of these negative indices, and we have to act fast to save the 2 countries that mean a lot to us all OR... Boom! Economic downturns, social unrests, then Civil War. "The changing world order."


All the best.

Not particularly fond of the 3rd world vs 1st world monikers. "Developing, Under-devloped, And Developed", though have some issues, are probably better descriptors.
