SunShowAfrica:
The case is not the same with south Africa because their economy is good and they have good parental guidance. I was reading an article and I am amazed how parents teach their girls about modesty and honesty.

Parental guidance my foot.
You love to fantasize a lot from very distance.

Tomilolakk:
Government should make DNA compulsory for all the new born baby. Women would think twice before sleeping with another man.

Michelle55:
This hits differently, can't imagine the pains he's going through. To avoid all these unexpected headaches, they should make DNA test compulsory once a child is birthed so everyone knows their stands. It would be unfair to train someone's else child under the guise of parenthood, it's best he does so willingly than being lied to.

Are you going to fund the tests that will now run into billions of Naira per year?
Or you want another DNA subsidy from the government?

Even if the government can afford, can you rationally defend spending the money on
such instead of other meaningful and impactful programs?

dustmalik:
I saw the Twitter thread about a week ago. He stated that he never signed the birth certificate of the child, which would have gotten him entrapped.

He doesn't need to sign the certificate.
If they are legally married, he is legally the father.
This principle was inherited from the very old common law.

There is no way out unless he is jobless or very poor and remains so forever,
else, he will pay until the child is 18.

If they weren't married, he would have to fight to get his rename
removed, because the law recognizes as father whoever the mother
registers as the father, even if he wasn't aware she was pregnant.

phorget:
These players play an average of two matches within a week with a very bogus weekly wages and they are still complaining, how about those that work for a whole week with a meager earnings?🤷‍♂️

Why do you think their wages are bogus?

mmadu4:
from many studies i have come to understand that hiv is not something you get easily. infact you can fork an hiv person without getting infected

when i did my hiv test i was told by the nurses that is very unlikely to get hiv easily like that. unless your blood and the persons blood come in contact. so this man should check well

Yes, the probability of HIV infection from one contact is low(around 1 in 1000).
But that doesn't guarantee the safety of any particular individual who gets exposed.

DNA or no DNA he is hooked for the next 18 years if he lives in certain states.
Children born within marriage belong to the father regardless according to some laws.

Homiesjinxbank:
So its good if EU mumu to follows U.S their Ally? , but it something else if another country follow their Ally against the U.S?.....

Why are you angry that I pointed out the obvious?

Two reasons.
Money and Freedom.

Money issue has already been tackled by ednut1 above.
The freedom from consequences motivates those goons to say whatever they want,
depending on the country and get away with it.

Grandson is an exception that got convicted, because he was too specific in his hate speech.

In Nigeria here, such broadcasts will get the owner in legal trouble regardless of the political
protections they have.

Homiesjinxbank:
Expected Europe depends on U.S for weapons and money, EU will not go against the US..

So?

WriterNig:
Thanks for telling everyone that you're a person that can be easily controlled and manipulated.

You should be ashamed and grow some spine.

Even if you are a recruit, that shouldn't warrant suspending your reasoning.
Instead of you to point out the false statement from my post, you are attempting
to influence me.
If only you knew!

Countries make decisions based on national interests
and not the childish friend/enemy relationships you dream up in your head.

Expected.
India depends on Russia for energy and arms.
It will not go against Russia unless its economy is threatened.

Orchestrated by the usual suspect.

DeLaRue:
How come old mud houses don't get as hot as modern cement block houses.

Oyinbo man introduced cement blocks, we immediately dumped our own local approach that worked well. Smh

With all the professors with big big titles that are in Nigerian universities, we still can't find a way to adapt mud technology to build modern houses.

Mud houses tend to disintegrate rapidly around 10+years even though it is cheaper than cement.
However, people who are interested in mud for building can go for baked bricks.
It is more expensive but last longer than cement.

No need to bash professors(who are primarily researchers, not inventors) for not reinventing the wheel.

Immigration issues will dominate western political battles
for the foreseeable future.

bdon123:
Dangote has already said he can track,u wan argue against him wey get thousands of trailers on d road?

Dangote doesn't control the tankers.
The tankers belong to the NNPC and independent marketers.
Immediately a tanker leaves the loading section, it is totally out of Dangote's control.

bdon123:
That is not true...landing cost for lower quality pms is around 1100.Government was subsizing to bring it to around 700.Why cant govt subsidize jst 30% of wat itwas doing before to bring it to around 700.[b]bear in mind we were subsidizing for neigboring countries too bt that will all become a thing ofpas[/b]t...therefore cost of subsizing will be far lower.Its either that or giv dangote cheap crude to exchange for products.

The bold is false.
Smuggling continues as long as Nigerian price is lower than neigboring countries'.
Subsidy or no subsidy, refinery or no refinery.

This back and forth is looking like a charade.
If it is not #898, Dangote should counter NNPC by releasing the real price.

Isn't it stupidity for Russia to strike Ukraine cities with Iranian missiles and drones
while demanding that other countries restrict Ukraine from striking its own cities.

The dumb cries about world war and others should cease.
There will be no world war.
It is strictly a West vs Russia affair.

Despite what novice analysts claim, Putin is most afraid of an expanded conflict
because he would lose everything.

Masquerades are supposed to be licensed by local rulers and their identities well-known.

Now, anybody can done a masquerade costume to target their perceived enemies and get
away with it by being staying anonymous.

This drama is becoming stale.
Two men exercising their second amendment rights should not be making the news.

they Ask me and my family to pay almost a million Naira to bury him on Reedeem burial ground.. and they even told us that is the system

If that is the system, I am sure your brother is aware of it.

RCCG is a corporation and your brother an employee, check his employment contract
if free burial ground is included.

If not, look for cheaper alternative.

MEEVEET:
I don't know why this government lie so much... This is becoming a sickness

There is no way under the sun dangote can sale petrol at ₦898... It's absolutely impossible

Crude oil cost 72 dollars per barrels it cost 5 dollars to refine averagly that's 77 dollars

There are 159 litres in a barrels

5% of crude is lost during refining average that's so we have 151 litres

refinery expect 40-45% gasoline, 25-30% diesel, 5-10% aviation fuel, and about 15-25% "other"

So let's use 45 petrol, 30 diesel and 10% aviation fuel ( kerosene +diesel blend)

The remaining 15% is basically worthless

For simplicity sake let's assume petrol diesel and kerosene are same price

85% of 151 = 129 litres of products
Crude cost + refining cost = 77*1650 = 127,050

That gives us a cost price of ₦985

Let's say dangote sets a profit margins of 15%

That gives us a final price of
₦ 1,132

I have been very very conservative here... Cost of refining, and yield but this is the minimum dangote can sale his petrol

Did you factor in the fact that NNPC is only controlling the price of PMS
and Dangote is free to sell all other products(diesel, kerosine, etc) at market price?

Also, did you consider that NNPC may be selling subsidized crude to Dangote?
Remember, all the details of the deal are kept as top secret, we are only guessing.

drlateef:
Ask anybody, thats how China discovered itself. China devalued her currency and made local production to kick up. America pressured them to revalue their currency and they refused. This is one of the great benefits of currency devaluation.

That is not how China discovered itself.
China discovered itself by learning bitter lessons from Communist rule(tens of millions death).
Then subsequently embracing capitalist principles of free market(though state controlled) and promoting sectors
where it has a competitive advantages.

China's success has little to do with currency manipulations.
That came later after it has become a manufacturing powerhouse.

What is more important is what is being exported.
Since these are majorly primary products/natural resources, then nothing special
here as we did better in the 70s.

Calitoscassius:
Who gave birth to the child? If the child is a witch.. Does that not the parents adult witches also?
Africans!

Is that the Calitoscassius first law of withcraft heredity?

My question was designed to mock the poster who believes in witchcraft
but grudgingly opposes punishment for witches.
He probably sensed my intention and didn't respond.

BTW, are you a Caucasian

arantess:
There is good and evil
God and Satan
Angels and witches/wizard.

Believe whatever you will or not.

As for the parents they deserve a long prison sentence for this wickedness

If the child is a witch, should the parents be punished for it?

CodeTemplarr:
So whichcraft doesnt exist or what are you saying?
You know book more than God who acknowledges witchcraft.
Just tell us you are one yourself and have adopted denial as your defence mechanism.

How do you know witchcraft exist?

coputa:
very soon,car manufacturers are now focused in the manufacturing of electric vehicles and machines

Number of electric cars wont matter.
It won't make a dent in Oil price.
Norway is a typical example:
https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Norways-Oil-Demand-Hasnt-Crashed-Despite-Record-EV-Market-Share.html

Oil isn't just about vehicles, it is very political.
Oil will remain the major driver of the world economy
until it is politically and economically expedient for ALL the industrial power houses to shun it.

coputa:
Petrol is gradually fading out, Nigeria should diversify because the demand for oil will dwindle as time goes on

Yes, like a hundred years time, probably.

Refineries have worked and are still working in Nigeria.

Note. The function of a refinery is not to make fuel cheap but to refine fuel.
As long as a refinery can and do refine fuel, it is working.

budaatum:
I blame Buhari

If he had not been democratic and instead disobeyed the law, like this current crop are doing, and just threw corrupt people in jail for like 200 years like he did when he was head of state and as was feared, these corrupt people would have thought twice before being this corrupt.

Instead, he allowed democracy to shackle him, and we are where we are now!

Buhari was never democratic.
He always did whatever he wanted, the law be damned.
He is just a corrupt fellow with well-oiled propaganda machine for his fake integrity.
He even pardoned 2 governors that the court managed to jail for corruption.

Suppose you find an ideal non-democratic man that could help you jail
kwarapt people for 200 years.
How do you keep him in power forever?

Amumaigwe:
This guy though in the creative industry, does not seem to have a sound mind. He was appointed to harness the potentials of performing acts in his state and possible come up with ways of developing and improving that industry maybe into a revenue earner.
Such missed opportunity.

Sound mind obviously means something different to you.
A true sound mind would know where they don't belong and leave it for where they do.

You even created a pretentious portfolio for him.
There are tens of thousands of your heroic "sound minds" special advisers cluttering the political space
and wasting public funds.
They were all appointed as political rewards for political settlement.

Anither563:
He is not obliged to disclose the price to you. Just buy and pay for it.

How do you pay when you don't know the price?
