Wicked people.

One small mango they will want to sell 200naira. Fruit and food made here is more expensive than imported ones, is that not madnes

Fg should import food since some farmers have decided to remain greedy.

mango just dey come out, wait until the mango don tey for market and start to dey spoil before buying, at least that's how I do it this days. Na yesterday I bought the first ụdara/agbolomo and I got it cheaper than what they were selling it initially.
Perishable food na im them want take do shakara for me?

U don't mean it?

Yes. Collecting VAT from road users is a more pressing issue than combating Boko Haram

bankyblue:
This guy's re getting their feet on the ground again, pls the army needs to press their neck o

The army are busy pressing the necks of road users in the east, collecting VAT for the betterment of the nation.

All I can say is "Kpele oo" .

Why won't Boko boys be having a field day when all the military personnels are on the eastern roads collecting VAT for the nation's progress, parading all over the streets every Monday.

You are a slowpoke. No one is scared of Russia. A country that needs north korea to help out can't be taken seriously. They can't even afford military logistics anymore and are depending on donkeys to move men and supplies to the front. Stop embarrassing yourself.

You have consumed too much Western propaganda on this Ukraine war. North Korea military are not helping out Russia in the way you think. Russia still outnumber Ukraine in terms of military personnel on the front lines, The North Korea military are only in Kursk which is Russian territory and they're only there to gain military experience.
Russia are yet to conduct any large scale conscription of their populace unlike Ukraine that has ran through their able bodied men to the point that they now kidnap their own people and force them to fight Russia ( this is a testament from actual Ukrainians mind you)
As for not being able to maintain a logistics and using donkey to move equipment and men around, I don't even know where to begin from. If such a thing were true then why is Ukraine still going hat in hand begging for aid? If you think just a little bit you would immediately see how nonsense that sounds given how the war is playing out. So I don't know where you heard that nonsense from but abeg make you know talk am outside.

Trump’s position is that the continued conflict is unsustainable. He talks about the lives that are lost and all the irreparable damages. Trump’s position is that compromise is a necessity.

Zelenskyy wants outright victory. That Putin gets the Gaddafi treatment. And Russia becomes subordinated to Europe, with their weapons and army all disbanded as was done with Germany after WW II. This is the only way Ukraine sovereignty is guaranteed.

Trump don’t see how this is possible without a full blown war in Europe, and perhaps, in the world. Trump thinks a better route is diplomacy. Zelenskyy sees Trump as a direct obstacle to this goal.

Zelenskyy’s rhetoric is not dumb. His body language, his positions may be intended at actively driving a wedge between himself and the US.
It is some strategic maneuvering. It’s calculated.

Zelenskyy could sever ties with the US, in the hope that this pushes Europe into assuming greater responsibility for the war effort.

European leaders already signaled they also desire the end of Putin. But rhetorics and actions are different things.

And Zelenskyy might be overplaying his hand in appealing to Europe’s fraught ego.

The EU is an organization that is willing to use Ukraine as a pawn in their effort to increase members commitment and become an actual dominant power. In reframing the US as an unreliable ally, alliances are reshaped that benefits the EU tangibly.

But the EU might be overplaying its hand.

In all, there are pawns, knights, rooks, bishops, kings and queens. As you read, people are dying in the war.

As you rightly pointed out, Rhetoric is different from action. The EU at present are only throwing Rhetoric at the problem, they're not strong enough to throw anything else at this moment and Russia knows this. They're also way too reliant on Russia for a lot of things especially Oil which rendered all the sanctions on a Russia redundant.

The funny thing is that Trump in his first tenure warned Europe, especially Germany about their over reliance on Russia oil during an UN conference and the German delegates laughed him off right at his face which was quite disrespectful, but here we are four years later and Trump's advice would have positioned EU waay better had they Taken heed.

Pray for Ukraine.

Pray for Congo and Sudan instead. Millions of people are dying there but everyone seems to focus on Ukraine that has received millions of dollars in aid.

Africans when Una go finally get sense?

Aonkuuse:
Funny enough I see the down fall of the United States in the nearest future and Donald Trump has initiated it

If you think United States is going to fall anytime soon then I have a bridge to sell to you.

Do you think that supporting or not supporting Ukraine is what made US a world power?

Sure if dollar is returned back to the original price... Minimum wage today is of far less value than 2023 may... If you compare it for highly stable items like usdt usd, gold, silver and the rest

How would u know when you have no basic knowledge of economics

You're wasting your time on that person, you can see the abysmal knowledge of ss3 Level economics that he has based on the harebrained question he asked you.

helinues:
Should minimum wage also return back to the previous amount?

Olodo. What causes inflation, is it minimum wage or fiscal policy?

The way most of you talk in this nairaland is just exasperating.

OUR BROTHERS ARE NOW DENYING. SO UNA DON LIE SAY NO BE OJUKWU RELEASE AWO AGAINI? CHAI CRY BABIES. UNA WON CHANGE WETIN UNA DEY TALK

OJUKWU WANTED POWER BADLY BUT WAS USING YORUBA TO COVER UP FOR HIS GREED.. DEEP IN HIM, HE NEVER EVEN WANTED IT.

SHOW ME LAST YEAR ELECTION RESULT BY REGION AND LETS SEE THE MEANING OF TRIBALISM IN IGBO LANGUAGE

. Are you daft or lack the ability to read and comprehend?

Ojukwu never claimed to be responsible for the release of Awo, you say that the attributed the release of Awo to himself and I asked you to produce evidence that he did say that.

Apparently you can't produce the evidence that Ojukwu said that which rats you out as a tribalistic propagandist.

DenreleDave:
our igbo brothers and sisters... no need to keep lying about it.. We know history and trying to change it b4 our eyes is not accepted. Ojukwu had no power to release a federal prisoner and more importantly, a yoruba man.. Ojukwu and azikwe if they had their way, they would even prefer to keee awolowo because he is the yoruba they hate so much and he denied azikwe gaining any power in the west...

They said it was not an igbo coup, they killed other tribes and left their own alive. They later lied dt it was to free Awolowo, they knew awo is dead and cant defend this lie against him...

We have 3 region, a region organized it people and killed thier leaders and still had the impetus to lie that it was to save one of the victim region leader. What impetus!!!!!!

Aftter the coup, an igbo man became the head of state and even promoted the coup plotters. yet they say it was not an ethnic thing.

The war was not needed but our brothers should learn to accept their wrong and move on..


Ojukwu killed many innocent Niger delta and edo people but these people are not crying.. they moved on....

So Ojukwu lied he released him while it was gowon that did it,,, we know this b4, ojukwu people just wana turn it around

Tribalism is a severe sickness, you claim Igbo hates Yoruba too much yet Ojukwu stood up for Brig. Ogundipe as the next in line to be the head of state and rejected Gowon.

And please where did Ojukwu say that he released Awọ?

Racoon:
Ojukwu wants the military hierarchy of command to be ensured and followed but feudal power grabbing lords of those times won't any of that. He stood up to be counted.

This was because Murtala and some other northern military chiefs were planning to secede the north from Nigeria, but they were advised by the British and some Nigeria diplomats to abandon the idea and Gowon was made the head of state as an appeasement to the disgruntled Northerners.

Gowon became head of state in other to convince the North from breaking away from Nigeria.

ogascomax:
Nigeria should abstain not voting. We need to learn how to play international politics. You want to be part of BRICS yet you are voting against one of them. No be mumu be that.

our diplomatic and foreign policy are complete shít! We're neither here nor there and that's why we're not taken very seriously on the international stage.

With Trump as America's president..........

Expect More Wars and Disasters

The man is actively trying to end a 3 year old war that has claimed the lives of millions of people unnecessarily yet people still say this.
Every war raging at the moment, started when trump left office.

Russia, the United States, Hungary and ISRAEL voted against a Ukrainian resolution proposal at the UN that calls Russia an aggressor and calls on it to withdraw from Ukrainian territory to its recognized borders.


To all those who were shocked by Israel’s vote in the United Nations against Ukraine:

Just a reminder that in the last decade, Ukraine voted against Israel in the UN General Assembly 122 times,
Abstained 41 times, and voted in favor of Israel 0 times.

Israel's vote was going to always align with the US. I wasn't surprised about China, I expect them to vote against but abstaining was an even better decision considering the Taiwan issue. South Africa abstaining was the surprise for me, I was thinking that with their recent rhetorics they would try to make a stand here and stick it to the US by Voting FOR.

Botragelad:
Turn your city into a terrorist hole, attack and fire thousand of missile into Israel and cry when you get destroyed! 😂

Typical Hamas supporter. We find your tears and noise amusing because, despite all the Islamist efforts combined, they can do nothing to stop Israel's existence. Gaza was handed over to the so-called Palestinians in 2005, but it can just as easily be reclaimed because it rightfully belongs to Israel. It can be transformed into whatever Israel deems appropriate.

Here’s a question I’ll keep asking: Why did Hamas invade Israel on October 7, kill thousands, kidnap hundreds, and then launch thousands of missiles at civilian areas in an attempt to destroy Israel?

Now that Israel is defending itself, why are Hamas and their supporters crying "genocide"? 😂 It’s not genocide when you lose a war that you started in the first place.
Wait for the hostage deal to pass. There will be enough tears to go around for you folks. Lol
Am yisrael chai 🇮🇱!

I agree with everything you said except for the part where you said that Gaza rightfully belongs to Israel. That's not true, it never belonged to Israel and Israel have never desired it. The only times Israel has ever set foot there has been for security reasons and never for permanent occupation. Palestinians having full ownership of Gaza has never been an area of dispute in any of the two states negotiations between Israel and Palestine, the Jews historically see that place as philistine land.

So no, it doesn't belong to Israel and Israel have never claimed it.

The end is near.

Donald Trump is on the path to destroy America.

Once he’s killed in office. That’s the beginning of the end of great America.

A new world order will arise in the Middle East.

America, the great Babylon.

lol.. any new world order IF US falls will be China. That's been very clear to anyone paying attention

Moussa Abu Marzouk says ‘impossible’ to call Gaza war a victory for terror group, says he’s open to discussing its disarmament; Hamas: Words taken out of context, don’t represent us

Senior Hamas politburo member Moussa Abu Marzouk said he would not have backed the October 7, 2023, invasion and onslaught in southern Israel if he had known what the consequences would be for the Gaza Strip, in an interview with The New York Times that was conducted on Friday and published on Monday.

The October 7 attack — in which thousands of Hamas-led terrorists burst across the Gaza-Israel border, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking 251 hostages, amid rampant acts of brutality and sexual assault — sparked the subsequent war in Gaza, which has devastated the enclave, seen tens of thousands killed, and prompted the US president to call for the forced relocation of the more than 2 million residents of the Strip.

The war has also, through fighting on other fronts, significantly weakened Iran’s so-called “Axis of Resistance,” devastating the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon, and indirectly contributing to the collapse of the Iran-backed Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria.

“If it was expected that what happened would happen, there wouldn’t have been October 7,” Abu Marzouk said, asserting that — though he claimed to not have been privy to the exact details of the planned assault — he could not have brought himself to approve it, knowing what he knows now.

The statement of regret marked a departure from previous statements by Hamas officials. A few weeks after the invasion, for example, politburo member Ghazi Hamad publicly declared that October 7 was “just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth,” saying, “we are ready to pay” the price, and vowing to continue until Israel was totally annihilated.

Indeed, Abu Marzouk’s remarks were quickly countered by Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem, who said: “The occupation’s aggressive and destructive behavior is the cause of the destruction in Gaza. The October 7 epic marks a strategic turning point in the Palestinian national struggle.”

In a statement issued a short while later by the group itself, Hamas claimed Abu Marzouk’s comments were “incorrect and taken out of context.”

“The interview was conducted a few days ago and the published statements did not reflect the full content of the answers,” the terror group contended.

In the interview, Abu Marzouk said Hamas’s survival, despite Israel’s campaign in Gaza, constituted a “kind of victory.” He compared the terror group, which has been the de facto government of Gaza since ousting the Palestinian Authority’s main Fatah faction in a 2007 coup, to a regular person who has survived a boxing match with heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. But he said that in absolute terms, it would be “unacceptable” to call the war a win for the terror group.

“We’re talking about a party [Israel] that lost control of itself and took revenge against everything,” Abu Marzouk claimed. “That is not a victory under any circumstances.”

Abu Marzouk says open to talking disarmament

In the interview, Abu Marzouk also said he was open to discussing the potential disarmament of the terror group in Gaza, saying that, “We are ready to speak about every issue,” and, “Any issue that is put on the table, we need to speak about it.” He declined, however, to answer specific questions about what a compromise on disarmament might look like.

The comments seemed to contradict more hardline statements from other public leaders of late, such as politburo member Osama Hamdan, who said this month that “the weapons of the resistance” were non-negotiable.

South south has always and will always align with the North

Never in history has south south aligned with the west

South south knows Yoruba people more than the entire Nigeria and they have avoided them like plague

Mallam no need for long turenchi..


Is Igbos that must be pleaded to align to the movement..

Igbos are political rigid and stubborn.. they must be appeal to..

Igbos need to understand the movement and the implications of Tinubu ambition of second term on them too.

Is all politics ..

North .. south … East..

Let Yoruba carry their cross

Nigeria must be free

How can you say that Nigeria must be free and then advice other ethnic groups to align with the North? The very people who have kept this country's development hostage. You're being very disingenuous here, Noth has been in power for more times than any other region so they should take a back seat for once and let the greater south see how they can move this country forward, we don too dey for one spot!
As an igbo man I will much rather vote for Tinubu than for any other northern. Shuu! Na them get this country abi wetin?

No, stay, don't resign. You will resign , and no NATO memebership for you. He keeps insisting on what is the genesis of the war. ode

Lol... I don't even understand that guy. The whole issue is you trying to put Ukraine into NATO not your presidency.

The guy has been used by US to fight Russia in a proxy war, now Trump is telling him to hand over their national resources and disembark from Kursk or he will not send a single aid to them.

WriterNig:
Some low IQ individuals keep swearing that Russia is fighting only Ukraine.

Matter of fact, Ukraine's standing army was destroyed in late 2022. What you have now are forced conscripts, US, Polish, Georgian, French, NATO troops disguised as "mercenaries". Over 100,000 of them. Ukraine also recruited prisoners and former ISIS members to fight for them.

The US have provided over $350 billion for Ukraine, EU provided $100 billion plus. That's more than 8 times Russia's military budget in a year. Ukraine blew it in 2 years.

RUSSIA is always on the right side of history. Always on the winning side.

The US quickly realized the losing side and flipped to the right side of history, the winning side.

I bet you, future US history textbooks will talk of how they always supported the Russians from the onset of the war. They'll never say how they backed Ukraine. Just so they can partake in the glory.

They'll say Trump was the deciding factor of the war. Just like they claim the lend lease program won WW2, when in fact it was Russia who single handedly won the war. Killing 85% of the Nazis and capturing Hitler's bunker before he shot himself. The US killed only 3% of the Nazis but guess who's taking all the credit today?

🇷🇺 🐻 ❤️ 🇷🇺

I disagree with you only everything on this nairaland except for the Russia Ukraine war. That's not because I see Russia as the good guys but because I recognise US as a hypocrite that they are. They almost did what Russia did to Ukraine when Russia wanted to move their nuclear warheads to Cuba, US threatened Cuba with invasion should they allow such a thing to happen, up till today Cuba is still under severe sanctions and embargo from the US which has caused them a lot of hardship and tanked their economy, the US established Guantanamo holding facility right inside Cuba territory. Their whole reason for enticing mumu Zelensky into trying to join NATO is so that they could install their nukes right inside Ukraine and checkmate Russia's ability for MAD. Russia would be a fool to allow that to happen.

Trump didn't warm up to Putin because he thinks that Russia is on the winning team, no, That just because trump was never in support of the war in the first place and he also has a cordial relationship with Putin and Kim the rocket man.

That being said, Russia has not always been on the good side of history. The USSR and Hitler were in cohorts prior to Hitler invading the Soviet, Starlin and Hitler signed the Molotov agreement where they decided to jointly invade Poland and carve it up for themselves, that was during that Ww2.

Had Hitler not attacked the Soviet, startling would never had entered the war fully like they did. And yes it was they who defeated the German army, liberating most of the concentration camps and took Berlin forcing Hitler to Kill himself. And some experts argue that it was the fear of Soviet invasion that made the Japanese emperor Hiro to declare surrender and not the nuke in Hiroshima and Nagasaki nor the carpet bombing of Tokyo.

Sex is always done under cover of darkness, if I on blue light, she will say off it. If I initiate sex in afternoon she will decline it or find excuse. I have hardly seen how her kpekus look like.

You dated this person for only 3 months and your marriage is just 1 month old. So you only know this woman for just 4months is that correct?

How old is she and was she a virgin when you married her?

Ruke1989:
The Nigeria society is full of dull and ignorant folks who generally don't have a personal vision in life but copy other people's life. So they watch nollywood and begin to desire marriage to a prince that can take them out of the village and upgrade their family. Then they come back to the village to pepper their uncle. Haven't you seen that the movies doesn't teach the steps to genuine riches or empower with knowledge. Rather it focuses on sudden twists of fate, occults money, princely heritage and other dull things

This is why I don't watch those cesspit they call movies. I feel like I lose a couple of braincells watching those movies for anything longer than 12 minutes.

Isreal block UN food supply and aid from getting to Gaza. They also cut off water supply to GAZA


Your enemy doesn't owe you any favor during war.

Yet there has been more UN food supplies coming into Gaza during the siege than when they were in peace time. They didn't block aid, there was a restrictions on the number of trucks that come in a day due to the checkpoints.

Yeah they cut off water supply during the siege . They're under no obligation to supply water to Gaza especially given what happened in October 7.

Paul thought he was working for God already.

But an homosexual is doing exactly what God Said "do not do" which If Paul had found any of them in those days, he would have had them prosecuted and judged too.

So there is no place where you can say that they are like Paul for he too would have had them stoned if he found them. So you are wrong.

Lol... What sort of weak and argument is this? Paul thought he was working for God? Those one's ignorant belief exempt them from sin? Why does Paul need to be saved, baptised and accept Christ if he was working for him already?

Paul might think whatever he wishes but he wasn't working for God until he met Christ and repented.
Paul, Peter or any of the Apostles would excommunicate homosexuals from hearing the word of Christ because the salvation was Made especially for the people like them.

Refer to the parable of the lost sheep and prodigal son

Bobodee09:
So do you agree isreal is committing war crime??

Yes but not at the severity that you think. For instance the bombing of the WK convoy was a war crime even though it was done in error.
Both sides, Hamas and isreal have committed war crimes, Israel investigate and prosecute whoever is found to be guilty of this crime while Hamas celebrate theirs.

StillDtruth:
It does not work.

Even amongst you, you have different levels of sins ranging with different punishments ranging from those to which you can be pardoned for from those which you can never be forgiven.

The word abomination and sentencing to death isn't there for nothing.

There's nothing like different levels of sin. Paul who persecuted Christians, sending them to their deaths was still chosen by Christ to spread his gospel and it was through Paul that the gospel of Christ was able to reach far and wide. Today we call him "saint Paul".

Abomination of the flesh which is what homosexuality is can and will be forgiven if they seek for forgiveness.

SeraphicWind:
Your name is Peter. Where is it from? Anyways;

Luke 15:7

"I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance."

I repeat; Not one soul should be lost to the devil no matter their disposition to their sinful nature.

It is not them at work. It is the bad spirit inside them.

The attention of the Church should be focused on that spirit at work in them.

Most times, those spirits binds strongly onto them and makes them think what they are doing is acceptable before God.

Just so you know, the Catholic church knows and believes more in the Bible far more than other Christian churches.

Asides Bible, there are also revelations and traditions. That is if you want to believe.

If the Catholic church did not face the wars it faced, you may not even be a Christian today.

I agree with the Idea that homosexuals should be allowed to come to church and hear the word of God.

But where I strongly disagree with you is the notion that the Catholic church saved the Christian faith in anyway shape or form. That's a blatant lie! It actually almost destroyed the Christian faith by its actions of burning to death anyone who has a copy of the bible or anyone who questions the false doctrines of the church. It approved of unnecessary and savage bloodshed in the Levant ( middle East) and Europe through its crusade. It burned to death anyone who had mental health issues labelling then as witches, it sanctioned a lot of colonization and genocide all over the world and was in the Habit of selling salvation to rich monarchs ( as in they were collecting money from these people with the promise of granting them a place in paradise) . The whole stick that the world use in beating Christians today was shaped by the actions of the Catholic church.

You have to drop your secterial mindset and read the history of Catholic church to see the evils it did during the renniessance period, and the dark ages.

StillDtruth:
I say, it is right to throw them out.

God can never accept abominations

Maybe if it is confirmed that they have cleaned up. And that is still a maybe.

By this then no church door should ever be open to anyone including the pastors because everyone is a sinner!

Christ did not discriminate against anyone, he walked with prostitutes, ate with fornicators, thieves and liers, welcomed a condemned robber into heaven and chose his persecutor as the chief propagator of his teachings.

Homosexuality is a sin just like every other sin. And Christ didn't come for the righteous, he came for the sinners, preventing these sinners from accessing the teaching of Christ is an even bigger sin than homosexuality.
