people here really know less about the virus. Many think you must die when you get it. The virus has about 2% fatality rate...which means about 2 in 100 that gets it is likely to die. About 95% recover from it. Recovery depends on the individual. Female are more likely to survive, old people are more likely to die, kids mysteriously don't get affected like others, also people that smoke or have pre-existing lungs problem are more likely to die...due to the fact that it is a flu virus which attacks the lungs. I am surprise with the ignorance I see here. Many think getting the virus is certain death when it doesn't have 100% fatality rate. The death rate is not due to how potent the virus is but how easy it spreads. Meaning more people can easily get it. Its sister Coronaviruses like SARS and MERS had worse fatality rate but were hard to pass from human to human.... I blame the media, they focus on just deaths but not those that recover. There are even people that show milder symptoms compared to others and the virus don't kill them...Every Info is up there in the internet but people prefer the rumor messages and the WhatsApp messages...since the outbreak of Coronavirus I have seen a lot of misinformation..someone here was even saying it renders a male impotent.... It is not surprising, during Ebola outbreak all most everyone did the salt water therapy that eventually killed some hypertensive people...We should try and be less gullible and ignorant...all the info you need is at your finger tips

Thank you. You are beginning to feel the frustration of some of us regarding social media users in Nigeria. They spread ignorance and the most mentally lazy human beings are on Nairaland.

Coronavirus has entered Nigeria. I've not heard a word from our so called mega pastors. All they know is stage play miracles to deceive the gullible ones. My people, na you and your chi on this one. Forget Nigerian politicians and pastors. This virus has proven that they are major scam. Pride no go gree some close church to prevent more outbreak. Smh

Adeboye recommended prayers and fasting against this type of disease in his new year prophecies.

Has ABBA kyari agreed? If not, Buhari's consent is useless

Dunce talk. Do you even know Abba Kyari? He is the most like PDP in Buhari 's circle. A lot of you SM commentators are in darkness, lacking in understanding. Yet you wont keep traps shut.
I still struggle to understand the hype about Kyari, Daura and Funtua. It must be that most Nigerians are either under employed or the economic problems that some people are making noise about is a lie.

Plenty of facts / information BUT wrong conclusion and poor judgement. That always happens with too many facts. People get seduced by the sheer volume and quality then the conclusion and judgement coming from it becomes poor.

Army aviation is the 100% answer to ISWAP/Boko Haram. It is not merely about hitting Boko Harams rudimentary or NA captured armour. It is the agility to move 10 / 12 troops to blocking positions, move mortars / recoiless rifles into new positions within an evolving battlefield, position snipers, evacuate badly wounded et.c. That is the flexibility and agility that is afforded battalion commanders by Army Aviation. The Nigeria Airforce cannot offer this service.

Look at the captured Grad MLRS. Of course it is a sitting duck. A Boko Haram commander merely sends five zealots to sacrifice themselves in unprofessional ways to capture that thing and it's crew. Why would you be driving MLRSs around the battle field? Let choppers be your MLRSs. What about ambushes, choppers on armed scout duty see them building up from 10,000 ft and can engage them or forewarn ground patrols.
I think the NA needs 24 good cheap choppers of the type they already ordered. I would even take them over UAVs.

Ogundamisi has used FFK to wipe dirty floors and squeezed him into a mop bucket. What a pity.

Blue3k2:
He's a pretty interesting historical figure. He's similar to other men like Muhammad and Genghis Khan. He similarities to khan is his belief in education and learning. Danfodio didnt neglect to teach the women. He unsurprisingly has alot islamic scholary writing credit to him.

It odd how education went downhill in northern Nigeria. I'd like to read a smart scholarly article about that subject. There's videos on rise and decline of science in Islam. It's an hour long though.

I'd like to see a history vs. Dan fodio by Ted ed. If you get the chance check out the on Geghis Khan.

You are completely wrong my friend. You are romanticizing. Dan Fodio was not a moving, romantic figure. He was an idealistic. An Islamic purist. He built a caliphate not by design or deliberate self aggrandizenent but out of idealism and ideology.
I fund that most Nigerian are shallow and materialistic so they find it difficult to understand idealistic motivations.
If Dan Fodio had been more self motivated he wont have inspired Hausas to overthrow their kings and get please get it right that the Jihad was by mostly Hausas not Fulani

Handsomejok:
Before marrying my wife, my business was moving well. I had an appliances big shop with full of things. I made a lots of money monthly and was able to pay all my bills and take care of my single mother and siblings without fail.

Bbut since we got married, just two months and 5 days after our marriage, my shop caught fire. I have lost almost everything only managed to save some few things, had to pay for all the damages to my landlord (the shop owner ) I’m still owning him money and I’m now renting a small shop but things are not working.

I have so much debts to pay to so many people including my previous shop landlord, can’t afford a 3 square meals, can’t afford to pay house rent, can’t afford to pay my shop rent and we have moved to my parents house.

My wife is pregnant and due in April, we haven’t bought anything for the baby. I wish never met her in my life cos she has completely destroyed my life and I have nothing left. She is evil. Haven’t confronted her cos of her condition, don’t want to add more stress to her and am waiting for her to put to bed then I will confront her and chase her away. I will keep the baby with me so she can go with her child she had before we met. I just hate her so much and I want nothing to do with her anymore.

Please what do you suggest I do?

She, you or both of you are under attack. What can be concluded from the stupid stuff you posted above is that your enemies seem to be winning.
You are an extremely weak man.
When you marry you obtain favour. Claim that favour.

The baby you are expecting will also bring his/her own blessings.
Claim those blessings.

Get out of the stupidity business and become more prayerful. Just pray.
It is simple. She is not a witch.

soberdrunk:
This is the 'only' solution to the Boko haram issue, "Boko haram" is an 'ideological war' that cannot be won on the battlefield alone. Instead of setting up an agency to 'reform' members, our government needs to first set up agencies to prevent recruitment of new members and rescue of 'redeemable' members because I am sure many of them joined out of fear and intimidation.......

That is why the FG is planning many de radicalization initiatives but the fearful and cowardly are still.shouting.
They never shouted when Asari Dokubo an oil thief and Ateke Tom, a murderer, kidnapper and ritual got rehabilitated, doped billions and went home rich. Ateke. Is even a traditional ruler now. We must NOT mention everuthing that guy did otherwise we will vomit for two weeks.
Nigerians rehabilitated these guys. They will rehabilitate Boko Haram.guys who were mostly forced, brain.washed and manipupated into fighting.

RuudVanNisteroy:

Nigeria is a failed state and a fantastically corrupt shithole. I gave you a list of the team I think can salvage the country. Don't just criticize, let me know the alternative team you have in mind.

Nigeria is NOT a failed state. I said it before that you need education. A lot of half educated people are using this expression " failed state ". It is a testament to high IQ to actually research the meaning of the term and look as to whether objective criteria to define failed states have been met. They have not.
I have lived on three continents.
Nigeria is very far from failed state status.
The problem the country has is actually YOU. The badly educated, largely skill-less, urban dwelling young people below the age of 40 who absolutely think the country owes them. It does not.
The country is rather expecting them to be innovative, hard working and redilluent in solving economic problems AND developing/ applying a code of ethics in social service and governance.
All we are getting from you guys is yahoo yahoo, weakness of will, indiscipline and a stupid hankering to emigrate abroad and pursue dead end careers ehilse opportunities here are being snapped up by Indian, Chinese and Arab youths

Wilder also claimed to be Nigeria

Every black man from Alabama has descendants from southern Nigeria. This has been well researched. Some people have even narrowed down the towns where the slave raiding parties took them from and the wars that displaced them

Some of their great great grandfathers never even became slaves as they were released upon their cargo ship arrival in the US, especially the last few cargoes of slaves that arrived just before the abolishment of slave trade

Lazy but talented, MARTIAL! !!!

That's the mouthy joker who thought he could beat Joshua

OP, please take down this stupid thread.
It is a BS topic and the premises are faulty. The education of people who think there is a point to all these is faulty.

You cannot take a subset of the "who is who" of Nigeria's collective corporate leadership and assume they would make good Presidents. I say it again, your education is faulty.
85% of these names will fail in their first six months because what is in demand is not managing for short term targets like 'fake profits to declare' and dividend to pay this financial year OR how to comply with instructions from central offices of some multi national company.
The that is quality in demand by Nigerians is prividing short tetm panaceas to immediate social, security and fiscal problems WHILE building foundations for long term economic health by doing, education, infrastructure, health and power.

All these guys above are the CAUSES of the problems we have now. Go and find out how organizations they led cheated Nigeria out of oil revenue, royalties and taxes. What of bag man.jobs for politicians. What of hand in glove authority stealing with OBJ?

Please get serious and use your mind incisively.instead mrntally mentally timid and following flawed heroes packaged for you by a corrupt press.

Anyone know how this Saudi tornado was taken down on 2/14/2020?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBzexUqgMcI

Houthis would mostly be firing heat seeking missiles so forget RWR. MAWS; did Saudis buy this system with their Tornados. Arab states are notoriously unwise in procurements throwing money carelessly for new weapons instead of getting requirements from rigorous threat assessment studies and then generating specifications of the platforms they need.
Tornadoes are also low low level strike aircraft so it is quite possible that the missile got took close for adequate pilot evading maneuvers at low elevation

kabe1:
MRAP contraption from the Nigerian army.

I know rank and file soldiers will like this but the slats are designed wrong (wont protect from RPG double-charged rounds), the tire protection hinged plates good improvisation they are will be very noisy, overall weight too high and situational awareness about the vehicle has been reduced.

As a mobile firing station / guard post I say yes BUT dont call it an MRAP.

APC votes are not void. They were cast by people. Diri only meets the spread in 4 states. He narrowly missed Brass LGA

The judgement did NOT make Diri the Governor of Bayelsa State. Diri does not qualify.
I think the Chief Judge of the State will act as Governor.

MelesZenawi:


He is not.

Just give it up

PDP continues in Bayelsa state.

You see your weak minded defense. That is typical Nigerian. Only Nigerians act so dismissively out of fear and laziness to engage the mind.
If the courts are petitioned to prevent presentation of cert. of return tomorrow I guess you will now go full schizophrenic like a typical Nigerian

Metobime:
If the d oil is extracted @ 2mb per day it will only take 500days or 1½ yrs aprox for d 1billion barrel of reserve to b completely depleted.

So, what are they celebrating?

Usually 200,000 bbls/day.
If you discover a proven 1bn barrels, theres probably 10bn barrels nearby. This is not sentiment issue. Who or what you hate does not matter. There is oil in the North. It is almost useless. Oil is dead as a commodity of global importance.

This boy has wasted the mentality of most Igbo youths. The most sophisticated tribe in Nigeria in the 60s has now become the worst in thoughtlessness, mob mentality, hero worship and anti-republicanism.
What a shame.

This guy that built his career on sampling and forming Fake Fela.

Statements like this are a prelude to downfall.

Seun Kuti has been nominated for the Grammy before Burna Boy. We heard no trash from Seun.

Abeg make una no knack am somtin o.

It is even more significant that it was prosecutors that resigned instead of judges. The statement is louder because of it that the US has its nemesis. The man who will bring the great country down in the White House now.
Judges are essentially political appointees but these are govt lawyers who prepare briefs. Guess what, as they are leaving they are talking to their personal lawyers, making final notes and preparing notes to file.
That's a sophisticated machine, the US legal system. Let us see how this impeachee and especially people working for him sans immunity go scott free

how's that possible to get power from sleeping with virgins ? Also does he mean that he initiated them into d world of free illicit licentious sex and are now free givers(ashwos)?

It is very simple. There is no magic there. It is a trade. All the devil wants is to prevent many souls getting to heaven. He will trade your disobedience for worldly honours and riches (for a time). He always wins because he can tell the difference between eternity and a life time..he knows you are a loser already.
How does the money and riches appear?
He is the tempter . He can get 20,000 customers to your shop in one day or talk to Governor if State to personally write a proposal to give you fir his own approval.
All the kingdoms of the world have bern given him (for a time) . So usually it is not in the rituals although usually he likes you to break the first commandment first.

The woman is knowledgeable and maybe a little frustrated that the way she sees things most Nigerians don't.

Oil prices will keep declining, the planet's need for oil is decreasing, and in the near future, Oil will sell for as low as $20-$30, what will then be the state of This Nation?

It's time to diversify the Economy, and it's not done by Closing Borders, The people that placed this fulani man at the apex of the helm of affairs of this country are the problem this country have.

And concerning the foreign reserve ish., I don't see a breakthrough unless we exploit other forms of Revenue

You are an ignoramus.

Oil prices will keep declining is the only truth you have said. I think it is even more serious than this. Oil prices will crash suddenly in 2023 - 2025 due to electric cars and improvements in.energy use. I hope Trump loses 2020 elections otherwise the crash will.happen sooner caused by a world wide economic depression due to trade wars.

Buhari 's policies are the only hope for keeping the reserves up and the economy strong.

Thank God for border closure, it would have fallen to $25bn now. Nigeria is also plugging food importation hole and will be self sufficient in petrol by 2022.
Infrastructure development will improve internal efficiency and with ports being re opened in Eastern part of Nigeria, a lot of transactions costs will be cut down.

The important thing to re-state is that Yoruba muslims converted to Islam willingly and without external compulsion.
It was the light they saw as opposed to idolatry and the dictatorship of priests and babalawos in native religion.
A Yoruba Are Ona Kankanfo, Are Latoosa was muslim. That did not stop him from resisting Fulani incursions into Yoruba internal wars when it was necessary.

Hausa people too came to Islam before the Fulanis came into Nigeria.

If Fulanis always had the political savvy to offer a better political system to people and liberate them from oppressive situations by which they later expand their caliphate then it is something to be careful about.
Being careful means having good governance, eschewing corruption and guaranteeing individual freedoms

Vidamia:
Can this ever happen in nigeria

NO it cannot because Nigeria is a far more sophisticated country than Russia where one man is everything.

Two major LIES gaining currency.
1. Trump will win next election.
No he won't.
2. Sanders is not acceptable because he is a democratic socialist.
Yes he is AND just because of that.

It is important to close this thread and stop.discussing history with children of spare parts sales apprentices.

Their minds are closed and a previous generation has altered their destinies negatively with lies.

Let them continue to worship FFK, the acclaimed intimate friend of Bianca

Ibrahimmrfish:

Fulani never introduced Islam to anyone in Nigeria.The Hausa's were already Muslims 600 before Dan-fodio. As for the story of Mali introducing Islam to Yoruba,i will say it's highly unlikely,cause in Ahmed baba writing he described Yoruba as one of the slave tribes.Which i totally believed he most have hear the name from Hausa people,the only tribe that have a proving record of being a merchant tribe and have a trade route across west Africa.

Thank you for this. Centuries before Uthmann Dan Fodio came, the richest man in the world then was a king/emperor living in North East Nigeria. He ess a muslim and once went on pilgrimage to Mecca and caused the most unseen economic transformation along the way across the desert all the way to Mecca with tonnes of Gold.
Very devout muslim.

It is historical fact that Kanuris of North East Nigeria resisted Uthmamn Dan Fodio and it was along the lines of "we are better muslims than you" .

I actually suspect that this Boko Haram thing has spiritual roots in that attitude to Islam.

This is why I find it annoying when SE or SS youths start discussing Islam in Nigeria. There are very few muslims in SS and SE. In Yorubaland we have muslims as brothers, sisters, uncles and aunties.
I have friends who became muslims just because they knew they wanted more than one wife. No muslim I know was conquered into Islam. You can take your own fears and let it kill you on your bed.

So we know about the religion of Islam. I dont accept it but I know it
You dont know it. You cant know it..so shut up.

To he honest, I find that people are getting more and more ignorant.
It is sad.

How can FFK be lying and controlling people's mind in cruel ways like this.

How can an intelligent, grown up man actually believe that Islam can be imposed on someone by force .

Please if you actually truly believe this, you need to visit a psychiatrist OR maybe go for an IQ test because you may be mentally challenged.

All religions are HIGH MENTAL activities. How do you force it on people? .
I am a christian and preaching and getting people to accept CHRIST is hard enough because it means giving up a lot..how much more ISLAM with five times a day prayer, fasting, reading Korean intensely etc. Please tell me how you can FORCE this on people and how can you believe it as possible except you are a drug addict with extended mid-life crisis like FFK.
