They are the best devices you can use....keep using tecno

Correction they are the best devices in their price range. Definitely not the best of the best if price range isn't a factor. But they do make solid devices. But this news is worrying but it seems its app related, so using a different browser could arrest the situation if at all this is true.

Kennedy97:
Yeah

I was on the Ruby ship already

There just had to bring Maeve back on.

I feel a few more characters would be added(if there is a season 4)) because Ruby/Otis is dead and maeve/Otis doesn't work at all.

Actually preferred Ruby and Otis ship, it was refreshing. But they had to end it just to do Maeve and Otis ship

Raulboy:
Please You teach me
Cause I don't understand how you will have another country's army in your country without a written permission........ Without invading

Summary, the US invaded Afghanistan and removed the taliban from power to hunt the man that caused 9/11. If you need any more information use Google as this is where I leave you.

Raulboy:
Really?
What then where they doing there for over 20 years

If you don't know this then I am not the one to teach you. Google is free use it!

Thankfully she observed social distance

Even me sef, I would have stood outside to greet Gen. Failure.

Wetin be this. Make DSS catch you first.

zubydave:
Let me try to explain the best I can; like some rightly put up there, the value of your currency is directly affected by the amount of the international legal tender; say the dollar for instance, that you have in your foreign reserve. Now the CBN determines the value of your naira to dollar- you hear cbn devalues the naira every now and then. They do this so as to control how much dollar you can take in bid to control what is left in the reserve. If they set a naira to a dollar for instance, now imagine how much will be left in the reserve if every tom and dick comes with a naira to collect a dollar. How much will be left for dangote and otedola who wants to import one thing or the other into Nigeria. My bad , I meant to say how much will be left for you and I that wants to import one laptop or iphone because if they set a dollar to a naira, the likes of dangote and otedola will empty the reserve in maybe a month, and there will not be enough to go round. So you see the secret to having a strong local currency value against the dollar, is to export more so that will can get more dollars into our reserve and the central bank will bring the value of the naira up against the dollar; as we would have had enough to go round. Now don't get it twisted, even if we have more than enough in our foreign reserve, the central bank can still put the value of the naira down against the dollar, which could be done maybe due to one economic policy or the other- china is a typical example. The want to control how much dollar they release back to the world.

Thank you this made sense to me. But I still don't get it 100%. If I say want to import a goods that's say is $500 and I pay with my atm card in naira equivalent. Are you saying my bank then request dollar from cbn for them to pay on my behalf in dollar?

olugabbie:
Are you saying that US is ready to risk the lifes of its citizens to defend Taiwan. War between super powers can be complicated. If China invades Taiwan and US decides to defend Taiwan directly. US allies will also join the war, which will be too much for China to handle. Panic will set in for China and you can not tell the losing side not to use nuclear weapon. Nuclear weapon is not going to favour anybody.

Exactly, given how the Chinese government thinks won't put it past them to use nukes if things aren't going their way. But its a tense situation let's see how it goes.

MERCHANDISER:
Taiwan lacks is general recognition, since
most countries accept PRC sovereignty claims USA inclusive.
Taiwan doesn't have an official relationship with the USA yet

Yes you are right

Raulboy:
Like Afghanistan?

What has Taiwan has to do with Afghanistan. Did US have treaty with Afghanistan or her people?

MERCHANDISER:
But US still upholds one China principle

Do they?

Meninmen:
This guy is not the first to do it. If you follow the US very well, you would know they overhype their enemies so they can gain more funding from Congress for their military.

It didn't start with China. It has been done to USSR until USSR disintegrated! There was a time China complained that the US military is hyping China's military so they can get more funding from Congress. It's a tactics. China has not gotten to the Military level of the US. With this speech, just see how more funds will be made to the US military and any cut of military budget the US Congress was contemplating would be jettisoned!

That's very smart especially now that the reality of war is closer than ever

olugabbie:
Saying one super power will defeat another super power in a war is very foolish. It is the war that will determine the winner, not you. Besides, the super powers are not preparing for war. They are just trying to put themselves in a position that will deter any aggressor. It is majorly for protection. Engaging a nuclear state in a war is a very foolish idea. These leaders know that. Russia annexxed Ukraine and nothing happen. If China decide to invaded Taiwan, trust me, nothing will happen. The West will only support Taiwan, give them fund & arms to fight. They will also sanction China. They can not do more than that. The West wont risk a nuclear war because of a non-NATO member.

While I agree with you, I feel you might be a bit too quick to dismiss US willingness to defend Taiwan. They have a treaty, if US doesn't honor their treaty with Taiwan it will set a dangerous precedent that will make other countries who US have similar treaty with question if US will also abandon them when their own time comes

Masterito:
Is it that you don't understand the mind games Americans are playing? Don't you see them massage Russia ego like this or former USSR? China is not fooled like you by this comment.

Is what I said too complex for you to understand? Who said China is fooled? Who doesn't know these are mind games? Mind games or not never underestimate your opponent is my message being passed. US aren't blinded like you who thinks it will be a walk in the park taking on China. Why do you think they are strengthing their allies in the region? They have ran worse case scenarios and are preparing for that as well. That's how you prepare for war, you don't just siddon and say we will wipe them out. That's how you lose. Even Ulysses S Grant, the star general during the US civil war understood this principle.

Masterito:
Honestly if you think China can win US in a war then you are a big fool. I am not sure you understand the politics US is playing. China won't even be fooled like you based on this comment. Just tell China to invade Taiwan without US consent and you will understand why you should never trust your energy who massages your ego.

War is unpredictable, especially now with so much high tech weaponry in play. Nothing is certain. The only thing I want if they come to blow is that both sides don't use nuclear weapons.

Nukes will not only affect the country being hit especially now that nukes are way more powerful compared to the ones used in WW2. And they will cause devastating effects on so many generations to come.

War isn't something that should happen especially now that humans have so much dangerous weapons. But dialogue has failed, and we fear the worse might happen very soon. So many lives will be lost and for what? If you have been to any of those WW2 sites in Europe, read the stories of how young people in late teens and early twenties were thrown into war zones. Its just sad.

We are struggling with climate change, these people with twitchy fingers who are desperate to use all their new tech. Reminds me of what Iron Mike said in the game "Days gone", he was talking to main protagonist of the game whose actions threatened war. He was like "you playing with people's life".

Underestimate China at your peril. This is what CNN and western movie filled people on nairaland keep doing. One was even saying China can't even beat Israel na US.

Its always best to overestimate the strength of your opposition, so you can equally overly enhance your preparedness. This is something this guy has done well. History has shown multiple times how leaders who underestimate their foes end up being defeated.

Sorry please natural immunity are acquired by default becos it's natural doesn't meant its not acquired. A baby acquired his or her immunity from his/her parent. Through vagina birth,breast feeding these are ways the child acquire immunity. So as the baby grows expose to germs n microbes the child now independently develop this immunity. That's how we have been wired by God,these y they are called natural. Immunizations is to help the baby as the child is still vulnerable, it's like leaving an adult n a baby out in the cold the baby will died that's y the parent is there to protect the child.
Now for any sane person to discard natural immunity is like playing God. Humans av evolved and survive diseases by natural immunity and any1 now downplaying nature is criminal. Yes u take the vaccines which are in truth not really vaccine what they basically do is reduce hospitalizations and its symptoms. In effect vaccinated pple a basically asymptomatic c19 carrier that can still b infected n transfers. Furthermore becos d vaccine ain't nature they wane within months.
Plus the survival rate is still 99.7,the whole c19 is a total political mess that has muddle the truth and its forcing pple to question it,nothing wrong here that's what every reasonable humans shud do as u owe it to usef to ask.

What are you saying I am talking about the definition of natural immunity you are bringing your bias into it. Please Google what natural or innate immunity is. Immunity is of two types innate that is natural and acquired. Natural immunity is what you are born with shikena end of discussion. Any other form of immunity acquire as you go through life is acquired immunity, its not natural immunity. Nor dey bring God and your bias for vaccine and the politics of c19 as you call it. I am taking purely acedemics. Which is types of immunity.

asamaigho:
D thing is, I have spoken to a few of d proponents of d Vax, and they talk as if natural immunity is of no use.

You have to understand what natural immunity is for you to understand their point of view. Natural immunity is the immunity you are born with. If you aren't naturally immune against covid 19 which is the general case for majority of humans, you will get the virus. Now the degree of the symptoms you get will depend on the strength of your immune system and if it is compromised by other underlying conditions like asthma, diabetes, HIV, age and the likes.

So natural immunity is pretty much useless as it is very rare. What we can get now is acquired immunity, which you can get after recovering from covid as your body will start producing antibodies against it or through vaccines which helps your body produce antibodies before getting infected.

Hope I have broken it down for you.

asamaigho:
These variants are even confusing, like d safrican and Indian variants....are these not d delta variant....am just asking.
Am finding it difficult to see d need for forced vaccination.

Those variants are not delta variant. Delta is more contagious than them and chances of being hospitalised increases with delta variant.

kingthreat:
The media is powerful. Several side-effects from the vaccine has been downplayed and unreported. DMX has been a crackhead all his life but his family attested that he took the vaccine a day before he had a heart attack. Nicki Minaj's account was immediately disabled by Twitter once she went counter vaccine before they re-thought and rescinded their decision. Don't believe everything they say. These peeps made you believe Taliban was evil, when Saudi runs a similar religious government. Good they are investigating the side effect. So far, I heard Moderna's the most viable.

Funny thing I just heard this stuff on this thread. Side effects are always investigated, the fact that we might try to dismiss as in this case doesn't mean it isn't investigated. The vaccine could have facilitated DMX heart attack but, I don't think its the main cause. He still had preexisting conditions that his body reaction to the vaccine might have pushed over the edge. I am just speculating on this, an autopsy will probably give a clearer picture.

Yeah modern is the most effective vaccine in terms of preventing covid19 infections. But other vaccine are slightly better than it in preventing serious side effects if you eventually get it.

nelsonoba:
You are the one that hasn't been paying attention. Over 600,000 people have been officially reported as suffering from one severe adverse effect or another after taking the vaccine in America. Over 14,000 people have died after taking the vaccines and suffering a severe adverse reaction in America. Some of the adverse reactions included heart inflammation, so it should not be a surprise to you if Nicki Minaj's cousin's friend had an inflammed testicle after taking the vaccine. And by the way, those figures I quoted above are official figures for USA alone, it doesn't include figures from other countries where similar things are happening. Google VAERS official statistics in America to see the statistics for yourself.

Doesn't change the fact of my question. Well lemme put it like this how many of those side effects recorded in the US were testicular swelling? When you have that data let me know.

malcom1X:
Guy stop deceiving yourself.

Pele oh

Originalsly:
Simple question...yes/no......why the dodging? FYI .. this is a public forum.....whatever you post is open to comment by anyone without invitation and regardless of if your comment was directed to the individual.

I answered your question just that you aren't medically inclined to understand it. Give my reply to someone in the medical field to explain to you.

Yes you can reply my post but don't dictate to me how I should have a conversation with someone else. If you want me to explain things a certain way you ask not dictating as if you dey buy data for me.

asamaigho:
So mean d Vax cure d disease?.
Or are d Vax not there to produce immunity?

These conclusions you are pulling I don't know where you are pulling them from. Vaccination prevents the disease in their theoretical form.

Or am I confusing you in some way, I don't understand

asamaigho:
Lol.
These things are difficult to defend without looking suspicious.

Exactly but a couple of the varient where spoken about on the news before delta arrived. You can also Google it

asamaigho:
So u mean natural immunity doesn't produce antibodies?
Nawa ooo

When did I make that statement please quote it
