PhonesRe: Would Elon Musk Keep Parag Agrawal As Twitter CEO After This Tweet? by Invitationn: 11:48am On Apr 27, 2022
Brendaniel:
Till all muslims can accept that anyone can insult their prophet and their religion and go scot free, that is when I will accept that islam is not a religion of extremism...







Muslims and double standard, the guy's tweet states that people should differentiate between extremist muslims and non-extremist muslims, meaning that free speech should be controlled against muslims, but yet you guys want to use the same twitter for free speech against other religions, the whole idea of Elon musk buying twitter is for free speech and not controlled speech, till you guys stop declaring fatwa on people who insult your religion or prophet, that is when I will take you people serious because it means in Islam there can never be free speech.

Hypocrites
I shouldn't dignify your irrational submission with a reply but I understand you just made some people dumber here, so let's set it straight.

The guy is talking about stereotypes.
You cannot say ALL Muslims are extremists because SOME are not.
And your ridiculous 'requirement' that until all Muslims ACCEPT to remain silent while their prophet is being insulted is when you are going to accept that Muslims ain't extremists. Listen to yourself grin
Sterling bank's "Like Agege bread, he rose" Easter greeting comes to mind. CAN said the greeting was blasphemous and a lot of Christians expressed outrage. They even demanded that the MD be sacked!
That's regular Muslims' reaction to blasphemy against the prophet. So are all christians extremists?
There has to be a distinction, that's all the guys is saying; it's not even his words.
I understand you have a misconstrued idea about free speech. It's messing with your head.

You cannot call me a rapist on Twitter without proof because "there's freedom of speech on Twitter".

Footnotes: You cannot say all Muslims are extremists because some of them are extremists but you don't want people to say all whites are racists because in fact, some of them are racists.
That's basically what the guy's saying.
I know it's hard for you, take your time mate.

Even if he didn't tweet that I it's most likely he's going. Elon Musk has been talking alot, but I suspect that his acquisition of Twitter would favor american conservatives more and this guy wouldn't fit into the plan.
IMHO, this is exactly what Elon Musk said he wants; Free speech.
He said he hopes his staunchest critics are on Twitter.

BusinessRe: Do We Have Any Self-Made Company In Nigeria That Can Be Bought For $40 Billion? by Invitationn: 3:42pm On Apr 26, 2022
DoveXlover:
Alright if you say so but apart from banks and Dangote company, what other companies do we have that are worth more than 40 billion dollars?
Because surely the Economy won't flourish with banks alone.
None.
But, we do have startups doing well and hopefully, in the next few years, some could be worth over $40B. E.g, Flutterwave, Andela, Interswitch.
Switching it up! They'll never be worth $40B because they're gonna be bought by giant multinationals like they did to Mainone, Medallion, Paystack etal.
That's the problem. That's why we don't have such companies.

Ok I just googled the name and yes he did say such and apologised for his crass unprofessional writing. Atleast we can agree that there are bigots on both sides of the divide? So can we drop the holier than thou toga? I relish the tribal mudslinging on nairaland (yes I said it). But what I find baffling is when yorubas act like they are the saints in it all.
I like your objectivity and honesty.
You seem to be open minded.
The problem is, I'm not the badguy here.
I understand it's difficult to find origins/history of conversations on Nairaland, so, I'll forgive you.

The most tribalistic people in Nigeria are yorubas yet they would deny it openly. From their pastors to traditional rulers, agberos to politicians, and even the educated ones, it's still the same thing!

They claim to be educated and sophisticated yet are campaigning and hoping that a criminal and desperate old man like tinubu would rule Nigeria even when far better candidates like Peter Obi is there. They even decide to fight Obi and preach hate against Igbos.

Well, it is left for all Nigerians to decide their fate, vote for tinubu and suffer the consequences or vote Obi and experience a turn around.

Can you please show me this journalist and his insult on yoruba people? Or will you start beating about the bush like your ilk do around here? So Nnamdi Kanu is the yardstick for Igbos? Kanu that has insulted every single Igbo leader dead and alive? Even insults igbos who come online to disagree with him? What about your son in uk? Adeyinka godson?? I know you have forgotten that name. You people have selective amnesia when it comes to the wrongs committed by your own.
You're too emotional!
Check the history of my correspondence with your bigoted kinsman.
He asked me to name an Igbo man that has publicly insulted the Yorubas/Yoruba politicians and I gave him 2.
To be clear, I'm not using Nnamdi Kanu or Nnanna as yardstick for Igbos like you are mischievously/ignorantly indicting me of; they're just bigots just like Adeyinka Grandson or whatever you call him.

"Can you please show me this journalist and his insult on yoruba people?"
What exactly do you mean by the bolded?
You don't know the Vanguard bigot? But you know Grandson and you don't have 'picky amnesia' grin

Even if you don't know him, I did mention his name. Check him up.
He's Ochereome Nnanna who called the Yorubas 'Sophisticated Morons'.

Apart from nairaland. Tell me ANY Igbo politician from APC or pdp that has openly attacked tinubu, I will wait. Tell me any Igbo king that has attacked any yoruba politician, I will wait. Tell me any Igbo religious leader that has attacked a yoruba politician openly, again I’ll wait. You call others names and accuse them for something you are a master at. I hate you guys hypocrisy.
I know you won't admit it.
Bigots like you are everywhere but the problem is, you like Playing the victims.
The closest ethnic slur from one of your bigoted kinsmen is the infamous SOPHISTICATED MORONS.
This isn't even targeted towards a politician but an entire tribe.
Coming Ochereome Nnanna, a columnist and chairman of the Vanguard editorial board.
This guy is a journalist ffs! What more?
Except you don't consider Nnamdi Kanu a politician or an Igbo man; the most bigoted of y'all. Who has Nnamdi Kanu not attacked in Yoruba land- public without reservation?
I can go on.

So suck it up and stop this victim mentality.

Why is it hard for you to make yourself agreeable to the fact that this is politics.
Just the way a large chunk of Igbos despise the candidacy of Tinubu calling him all sorts of names, there are people who have similar sentiments against your favorite.
By your logic, Igbos are bigoted too.

While Tinubu is worse than Osinbajo in terms of age and his part in the calamity Nigeria is facing today, Osinbajo headed Nigeria's Economic Management Team. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala headed a similar position under Goodluck Jonathan. Compare and contrast.

You should compare Namadi Sambo with Osinbajo. Both served as chairs of NEC.

Kingsnairaland:
When you go woke you go broke....

Call for peace or destroy your selfs.


America succeeded with its malice in dragging the countries of the old continent into a (European-European) conflict, by pushing Russia to take a decision to protect its national security by invading Ukraine, and in return pushing European countries to confront Russia, and thus the United States achieved many gains, foremost of which is the sale of American gas to European countries, instead of of Russian gas, and the pursuit of a deeper military and economic alliance, after France and Germany have been searching for months to form a new military force for them to replaces NATO.

America did not leave any choice for the Russian bear in the face of NATO’s expansion towards its eastern borders but to enter into the adventure of confronting the world to protect its national security

Ukraine in NATO, will makes Russia fall under NATO pliers This is evident in that NATO missiles were away from the Russian strategic locations by about 40 minutes at the time. These missiles take to target strategic locations in the Russian Federation and this is enough time to deal with them and shoot them down, but if NATO extended east in Ukraine, then the missile would need less than 5 minutes to reach its target in Russia, then Russia’s losses would have been greater if it had not waged war against Ukraine .

Russia has no choice but to go to war, no matter how much this war will cost it in terms of strategic and economic losses, which will not be greater than its loss of national security and ominous existence, while Europe, which many political analysts have classified as American satellite dishes. , enters the battle that is heading to a third world war that is devastating for all, and not because of a desire, interest or danger threatening it as much as it is an implementation of American directives and the overthrow and defeat of Russia in a war that was imposed on the Ukrainian people by the policy of America, which knows very well that Russia will not be silent and will enter into The war, no matter the cost, and do not forget the Western media, which maliciously promotes the heroism of the Ukrainian people and their resistance in the news, but the reality is something else, and all of this is fake to serve their interests.

USA is a problem to this world.
It aim is to rule by proxy but we know just like other evil organization were destroyed USA will go the same path if it continues to have the evil desire for dominance.

Vinnie2000:
Hahaha. You have just Alluded to my point dat Buhari/APC bought about Tribal war in NL after 2015!. Who or wat birthed Nnamdi Kanu? Was it Bubu's ineptitude, nepotism and failure in leadership? If Yaradua was our president, he would have called NK to a roundtable and discussed with him. But Buhari is so Deficient as a person! He even called Igbos 5%. He and his supporters are the problem of Nigeria and Nairaland!
Nnamdi Kanu is as bigoted as Buhari, you'll agree with me.
He believed in Nigeria during GEJ's disastrous reign but suddenly, Nigeria became a Zoo when a Northerner became president.
Yar'Adua gave amnesty to militants probably because their course had some sort of legitimacy and they're tactical enough. He also couldn't afford to see pipelines getting blown up everytime. It's rational to do what he did.
Also, Jonathan as the VP and a son of the Niger delta adds to the appeal of the amnesty idea.
Buhari could probably have handled the NK's issue more appropriately but I he didn't find him much of threat.

You simply forget sir.

Before Buhari,Igbos would always call Northerners with different names like abokis,boko-boys,almajiri etc.

But northerners were and are still very few here,so Igbos would get away with it. But Igbos met their match when they turn against Yoruba who're equally too many here. When Igbos feel the heat,they now cry that NL turns tribal war field.

I saw how Igbos would hijack any muslim thread,before northerners ended it.

Now Igbos are at receiving end of the tribalism,so they preach peace.
Adding to your piece.
The tribal war on nairaland, especially between the Igbos and the Yorubas was birthed by Nnamdi Kanu's rhetorics.
The Igbo elements on nairaland started amplifying whatever they hear on radio Biafra on this platform. Calling Nigeria a zoo, Yorubas are betrayals, Afonja, Fulanis are zombies etc
The 'Yoruba Muslim' divisive tag was also introduced by NK to divide the Yorubas.
The Yorubas had enough of the BS and turned the table.

Other news outlets are good. They are living up to their mandate. However, there is something special about Nairaland. The comments from young and vibrant nairalanders, make the news extra-interesting. Although some comments are divisive, most of them are educative.

My first day on Nairaland was a bliss. I learnt so much that my brain was almost filled to capacity. What amazes me the most is the ability of nairalanders to analyze every statement and decode the real intent behind such statement.

Nairalanders are truly intelligent. The only thing i hate about Nairaland is tribal war.
Thank you for flattering Nairalanders.
I'm going to be a spoiler here though.
On nairaland, most commenters have a side. Barely no one is objective.
Objectivity is not in Nairalanders' dictionary.
If they don't see an issue through tribal lenses, they'd see it through religious or political lenses.
Like you, I have learnt a lot on nairaland. I have also met few objective and intellectuals here who argues with facts from reasonable source. Others just keep making everyone else dumber
