Because the war was being fought on Ukrainian territories, Putin kept lying to many of the citizens that they were not at war with Ukraine even though most Russians didn't believe him, he can't sustain that lie anymore, the war is no more only in their backyard, also in their sitting rooms, kitchens, toilets and everywhere, Russians now have firsthand knowledge and experience of what Ukrainians have been suffering sad shocked

PoliticsRe: 24 Hours To Hunger Protest, Steps FG Has Taken To Stop Demonstration (Full List) by Johncarlo07: 8:48pm On Jul 31, 2024
benuejosh:
Okay.

In Nigeria, the protest is as a result of bad state actors who are feeling pained that the election conducted didn't bring them to power even when some came distant third position.

There is hunger in the land. Yes it is true, but what have the individuals done about it? did hunger start today? have they gone to farm? they blame the government and i ask, define government. Are the masses not the authority? are they not the ones who sent people to represent them? What have they done to support those they sent to represent them? If they are hungry they should go to farm and not allow themselves to be used with hunger as an excuse or tool to be used by those who lost out of election to cause chaos.

The rot of over 16 years cannot be cured by just 1 and half year of Tinubu in government. Peter Obi had 8 years as governor of a state yet left Anambra as one of the worst state in terms of development and governance.

Those behind the protest are only calling for anarchy and chaos to make this administration unstable.

Even if the protest ends, untill the farmers harvest their crops, there's nothing that can be done about the hunger. Government can not farm to feed the whole nation. Most Nigerians want everything to be given to them freely without them working for it.

Minimum was increased to about N30k Abia state and Benue that i am aware of were still paying workers about N18k till date. But it is the federal government that they want to blame. Even if it is increased to 200k, federal government will pay her own workers but will the state government pay their workers? will the private sector pay? are the protesters protesting against their state government or against Tinubu? The man -Tinubu- has increased minimum wage. Ask your state governors to implement it and lets see.

Traders in the market are increasing prices in the market at will, are they protesting against those traders? but it is Tinubu that is increasing prices.
We need to be wise as a people in this country.
The call for anarchy should be resisted by all means and those supporting it should be brought to book.

For me, i am not protesting because the protest is just a call for anarchy. The government is working round the clock to make sure things work out for good.

Don't allow hatred for a particular ethnic group to cloud your sense of reasoning.

Tinubu is working!

Foreign AffairsRe: Barack Obama Refuses To Endorse Kamala Harris by Johncarlo07: 9:47am On Jul 22, 2024
franchasofficia:
Thank God. They should throw the ticket open to get the best contender against Trump.


Kamala Harris can't win Trump, and even if she manages to win by any chance, it's a bad option for the whole world right now, and Obama knows this already.


Yes Kamala Harris is a good looking woman, she will be the first American female President, and yes she is mixed race which is good for history but those are not enough, America and the world can't afford having her as America's President at this time.


Another thing I don't like about her is the fact that she supports the wrong principles of life that seems to be against God's plan for mankind, plus she cannot tame the mad men leading some mad nations like Russia, North Korea and Iran.


I also hate Kamala Harris' support for LGBT, and her belief in genderless mankind that encourages people to use alphabets to represent their gender instead of "He" "She" "Him" and "Her", which to me is demonic. We are born with gender identity from birth, at least 99.9% of humans are. Trying to change what God and nature made to man made is dangerous for mankind.


Being a confused woman chasing wrong principles, I don't see you making good and sound policies that will change the world positively. The whole world need a very strong and sound American President to emerge in November to help tame men with Satanic mind like Putin. Yes Putin support some good things like being against LGBT, etc, but his wickedness towards his own brothers in Ukraine is demonic.

How can you wake up unprovoked and mobilize your country's heavy military to go and attack another country, a brotherly nation to you just because you know you are stronger than them, just on mere suspicion that they want to join an association of people you consider as the enemies of your country, how is that right to any sensible and empathetic human being for Christ sake?


You didn't remember the innocent children, old men and women, the sick, the physically challenged and the poor helpless people in Ukraine when you made this wicked decision, and some heartless Moslems have been cheering you to go on just because they are happy that Christian countries are killing each other and you think they truly love you?



Yes people will say what about Israel fighting and killing Palestinians? It also breaks my heart but what makes Palestinian case different is the fact that they caused the invasion by Israel, they provoked Israel through the October 7 massive attack against Israel by Hamas terrorists. If Hamas had remained in their territory following diplomatic negotiations that had been ongoing for years, I believe one day, God will show them mercy and their request to have a fully independent nation will be answered instead of waking up unprovoked to go and attack Israel in the most gruesome manner and still expect Israel not to revenge. This is what makes Israeli invasion of Gaza different from Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.



The world need a strong and sound American President to tame crazy leaders and countries like Putin/Russia, Kim Jong Un/North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan and Yemen before they burn down the whole earth before our very own eyes. Only a strong, sound and determined US President can stop these mad men ruling those terrorist nations and I don't see those mad leaders and their terrorist countries respecting Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris cant stop their madness, so we need a stronger candidate from the Democrats.


Trump is not an option honestly, yes he mixes his extremism with some Godly principles to deceive the Christians and some people, but overall, Donald Trump is an extremist racist.



His hatred for blacks is not hidden.


Trump will also cheer Putin on. Trump have never shown pity for Ukrainians who never asked for a war instead Russia brought war to their doorstep unprovoked, who does that? Are we in the 1930s and 1940s that world leaders wake up to invade other nations they feel are weak to take over their territory to expand their national border and territory? Those era is gone for good and Putin must realize this and withdraw his senseless troops from Ukrainian territories and allow peace to reign.


Has Ukraine joined NATO? Finland and other neighboring countries to Russia that joined NATO, what have they done to Russia? If NATO wanted to destroy Russia through NATO members close to Russia, Finland and others are enough to do that, so why use such demonic lies to invade Ukraine to kill thousands of innocent Ukrainians who never asked for war?



Democrats please do something fast, Kamala Harris is not the best option abeg ejoor, I feel like crying cry cry
U wrote dis lengthy post, yet didn't make any sense🤣🤣.
