Everybody is getting tired of the upcoming/mini dictator cum western puppet who is hell bent on holding on to power and amassing more wealth at the expense of the lives of average citizens of his country.

He is nothing but a sale out and should be kicked out as soon as possible so Ukraine can enjoy long lasting peace and prosperity again.......left to him, so far he can hold on to power and continually enrich himself he wouldn't mind keeping the war going for the next 10yrs......people should learn to vote for and support leaders who value their lives and have their best interests at heart not puppets so this is a good call from Federov.

So Mr Zelenskyy is your problem. Smh. If elections are held and Mr Fedorov wins, trust me, he will be tougher than Zelenskyy on your Russia and the gangsters running it.

Ibb I would describe like a two edged sword.


He made some bad decisions that affected Nigeria till date. But he also made very good decisions and built facilities some of which Nigeria still enjoys till date.


No leader is perfect. Overall, I think ibb was a good leader. One of the best Nigeria has had so far in terms of vision, foresight, capacity to deliver and achievements in power.



Sowore is also right but he is also wrong.

Babangida murdered Nigerians - Dele Giwa is one prominent example. But that's by far not the worst thing he did.

Be brought SAP. Before SAP, secondary teachers could buy and own cars. 1 naira was bigger than one dollar. SAP changed all that. But that's not the worst thing IBB did.

Mr Babangida stole the country blind. Remember the Gulf War windfall? IBB stole more than Abacha. And that's not the worst thing about the man.

419 (advanced fee fraud) became a thing under IBB. (We'll tell that story some day.) And that's not the worst thing he did.

Babangida brought Abacha. I know some of you now think Abacha was good, but he wasn't. He was a thief and a murderer. And bringing Abacha wasn't the worst thing IBB did.

The worst thing Babangida did was institutionalizing corruption. He legitimized SETTLEMENT as a tool of statecraft. Under IBB, people with connections to Generals suddenly became millionaires overnight. Young people were watching and taking notes. That's the worst thing he did–instititutionalizing corroption. And the country will pay for it for 500 years.

My girlfriend supposed to see her menstruation on July 1, so the menstruation came and stopped the second day. Then on the 14th of July. Menstruation came again and lasted for 6 days., that 14th July supposed to be her fertile window.

Likely, only one bleeding was a menstruation. The other was a miscarriage. I've seen something like that.

With my experience working as a customer service agent with a fintech in Nigeria...your chances of getting back your money is almost zero except you see the person one on one and held him/she.

Let me explain: We received atleast 20 of this types of calls daily in the contact centre and believe me you...the person did it to almost 200 people who have also reported from different banks.

The bank will place a lien of same amount so his/her acctn will read negative.

Imagine 10 people sent money and reported totalling let say 1.8m

So you that sent 200k even if he had not withdrawn the money..it will automatically disappear BC his acct will be reading -1.8m

Reaching out to the person will be like searching for gold.

Thank you. But your explanation isn't clear at all.

Not an invasion but special operation in 1961/1962 when the Russia tried to give cuba nuclear weapons and form a milatry based in cuba.

Special operation? US troops entered Cuba in 1961/52? No, sir. You're making that up.

jaxxy:
Look at ur flawed analogy. U think russia wants to steal from ukraine how? They already have more lands, resouses and wealth. This invasion was strictly about National security. Same way the US operated against Cuba.

But some of you here have been celebrating the capture of Ukrainian resources. And when did America invade Cuba?

So, are you saying that the Bible was written even before Adam's was created and he sinned?



Are you sure you are ok?

I said sin is a description of things we call wrong and bad and first admitted that "sin is things called wrong" by Christians and Moslems then you switch over to define harm as i sure that you are the moral objective person.

Is harm, the same as sin? If not, define sin according to your objective moral person let us see.

You're hilarious. I swear.

Dtruthspeaker:
Was there scripture to define sin when Adams, Cain's, Noah's world's sins were captured?

And is sin not a description of things we call wrong and bad ?

Captured? Ha. Captured by what naa? Scripture! No scripture, no Adam story for you. No scripture, no sin. See?

No. Sin is not a description of things we call right and wrong. A Christian's "sin" is things called wrong by the Bible. A Moslem's "sin" is something called wrong by the Quran. A smart and objectively moral person's wrong is anything that harms someone or something. Anyway, I explained it before - if you don't understand it, I won't reply you further. If you just want to argue, no point replying you further either.

Dtruthspeaker:
This is not really correct. Sin is simply an act that has caused unpleasantness and pain to another person. So, it does not matter what people call it or whether it is written in a book

So you don't realise that "sin" is defined by scripture? The definition you have given is philosophical, not religious, and sin is a religious concept. You open a Bible or Quran to know what's sinful. Whereas we don't talk of "sin" at all outside religion, we talk of wrong or "bad".

Look at it this way. Philosophically, it's wrong (bad) to embezzle money because it will cause unpleasantness to those the money belonged to.

In Christianity and Islam, it is wrong (sinful) to have sex with anyone you're not married to.

Philosophically, it's not wrong (bad) to have sex with someone you're not married to - because as long as both of you are able to consent and actually consented to the sex, no unpleasantness is caused.

VenExchangee:
So that been said, if it's not written in your fairy tail Novel then it's not a sin right?

My fairy tail book? Are you ok?

VenExchangee:
Are sin sins because a group of people decided to call it sin?

Sort of. Or maybe not. A sin is anything that offends against what is written in a holy book as the revealed word of God. This is irrespective of whether the act is objectively bad or not.

ebubeson:
If a person commits murder and another keeps malice, are their sins equal?

On earth, all sins do not bring the same consequences, but in eternity all sins take a person to hell fire.

On earth, an armed robber may suffer severe physical punishment while someone lusting may have no physical punishment, but in eternity, both the the armed robber and the one lusting will go to hell fire.

Repent and accept Jesus to escape hell fire.

I know the answer to this one. No, they're not.

Well, they have a brand new international airport to use for their studies. Since aeroplanes are not using the airport, it can sure serve students' learning needs. Good one building the airport, Umahi. And kudos to their governor and other governors for building these new unis. Primary and secondary schools and the existing unis be damned.

Saturnalia:
Nobody ate no apple, it was all made up by the Roman Catholic Church. Nobody ate no apple.

And the Entities called God (Elohim) were advanced humanoid mortals (with blood flowing in their veins) who came to colonize Earth from their home Planet.

These so-called Gods had disagreements amongst themselves which arose from “Succession of the Throne” from their home Planet.

As a result, when Earth was later populated by humans (Homo Sapiens); God A (and his biological children) told his followers (Humans) that he was a jealous God and they must never acknowledge or worship God B.

God B too (and all his biological children) told his followers (Humans) that he was a jealous God and must never acknowledge or worship God A.

Unfortunately, God A was the heir apparent to the throne of their home Planet because (their Father married his sibling Sister and gave birth to God A while God B [who was the eldest] was given birth to by a concubine).

But that same throne was usurped by their Father (known as Anu or El Elyon) at that time from his own predecessor. Their Father’s (Anu) predecessor too usurped that same throne from his own predecessor.

Let me rephrase in case you do not understand; A thief stole a cup from another thief who stole it from the rightful owner. i.e Mr. C stole a cup from Mr. B but even Mr. B too stole that cup from Mr. A (who happens to be the legitimate owner of the cup from the beginning).

To cut the long story short, God A being the heir apparent and the favorite of their Father (Anu) was given all the resources; laser and electromagnetic and nuclear weapons which he (God A and his Children) used to route & obliterate (God B and his Children but some of them escaped) over the Sinai Peninsula (The Biblical Sodom and Gomorrah).

Unfortunately, humanity have been kept in the dark for centuries while inheriting a Succession Battle that they neither created nor triggered.

Now, God A was Yahweh aka Enlil (and his children Allah e.t.c ) while God B was Ptha aka Enki (and his children Amen Ra [Marduk], Osiris, Horus e.t.c

There’s no God, there’s no Lucifer or Satan as written by the Holy Books but Intergalactic Aliens merely battling themselves for Power and Succession of the Throne of their Home Planet.

Come out of Religion, fold your arms and be neutral, then shall you be free from mental slavery.

So where are the escapees (B and his kids) now?

And he is still charging Nigerians based on international prices??
Nobody is protecting Nigerians from these ruthless capitalists.
The argument is that unsavoury realities arising as a result of the middle east problems/wars, are the reason for the high prices.


But he got over 90 percent of the Oil that should go to local refineries. Labour for extraction was/is local. He already has pipelines from the Niger Delta to his refinery. So whats going on with the pricing? Or Did the crude pass through the Straight of Hormuz before reaching Dangotes refinery

I think they're selling to him at international prices. That's how the oil market works. Even in the US, prices rise and fall with the Hormuz issue, even though their oil doesn't pass through the strait.

I was shocked when I heard this on the radio this morning. This sort of thing is on another level. Reminds me of that army man that was said to be involved in the murder of Abba Kyari's men that year.

Evidence that South African special forces murdered top detective shared with BBC

Yeshiel Panchia,Dino MahtaniandNick Norman-Butler,BBC Eye

Senior police detective Frans Mathipa had been fighting for four months to gain access to a crucial piece of information in the case he was working on. Finally, he was told, it was going to come his way.

But he feared his pursuit of it could cost him his life.

Two days later, his car was found overturned - he had been shot dead while driving.

Now seven members of South Africa's special forces, and one military police officer, have been charged with murdering Lt Col Mathipa, a highly respected officer, in August 2023. They deny the charges.

There has been no date scheduled for their trial, and there are concerns it will never go ahead, because three of the men charged with his murder have refused to comply with a court order revoking their bail. They are still working for the army's special forces, and one of them has been promoted.

The BBC World Service has been given exclusive access to the prosecution case against all the men.

The case has caused consternation in one of Africa's most robust democracies, with fears the country's military is significantly overreaching its mandate.

We asked the South African army whether it was responsible for Mathipa's killing. It did not respond.

Several hundred pages of secret police and court documents, shared with the BBC, set out the evidence suggesting special forces killed Mathipa - who worked for an elite police unit known as "The Hawks".

We have also interviewed key sources in the police investigation - South Africa's former head of counter-terrorism in The Hawks; Mathipa's commanding officer; and Mathipa's family - to build the most comprehensive public account of the events leading up to the detective's death.

It presents a compelling case that South Africa's special forces are responsible for his murder.

In particular, police documents show that the vehicle that trailed Mathipa just before he was shot was registered to a front company for the special forces. And that tracking data found in that vehicle puts it at the scene of the shooting.

One of the men in the car, Maj Sunnybooi Wambi, the documents show, was also spotted at the scene of an alleged abduction carried out by special forces soldiers - the case that Mathipa had been investigating.

After Mathipa's death, special forces issued a chilling warning to The Hawks, the police documents say. "You can appoint 10 investigating officers; we will kill all of them," said the warning, according to police.

Outside the UK watch on YouTube
The case Mathipa had been investigating was sensitive.

It centred on an Ethiopian man called Abdella Abadigga, an alleged so-called Islamic State [IS] militant. He had been granted temporary asylum in South Africa in 2008, but was arrested abroad in 2017.

Abadigga had then been smuggled back into the country, by the South African military and Department of Home Affairs, to be used as an intelligence asset - but had "gone rogue", according to Col Tollie Vreugdenburg, former head of counter-terrorism in The Hawks.

Abadigga had gone on to extort Johannesburg's Ethiopian neighbourhood, sources in the community told us. This money was used to fund IS, says the US government.

We asked the South African army if it had facilitated Abadigga's return to South Africa. And we asked the Department of Home Affairs if it had lied about a planned deportation of him to Ethiopia, and had instead smuggled him back into South Africa on an expired passport and refugee permit. They did not respond.

Specifically, Mathipa was investigating the allegation that special forces had then gone on to abduct and kill Abadigga in December 2022 - who the United States, earlier that year, had put under sanctions, designating him an IS recruiter and fundraiser, as well as a trusted supporter of Bilal al-Sudani, a top IS figure in Somalia.

Court documents show that after Abadigga's abduction, his phone connected to a mast near a military base. Police sources say it was used to call a number in Somalia.

The Pentagon did not respond to the BBC's question on whether Abadigga's phone helped locate al-Sudani, who was killed by US special forces in Somalia in January 2023, only a few weeks after Abadigga's alleged abduction.

We also asked South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa whether Abadigga had been kidnapped at the behest of the US. He declined to comment.

When Mathipa was assigned the case, four months before his own death, he already knew special forces were implicated, but he was trying to secure more evidence.

He was building on information already gathered by Abadigga's brother, Ameen - who had opened a missing person's case soon after the disappearance, and had been assigned an investigating officer (IO) from local police.

He and the IO had obtained CCTV footage showing the last known movements of Abadigga and his bodyguard Kadir Abotese at the Mall of Africa, a shopping centre on the outskirts of Johannesburg.

The footage, clips of which the BBC has seen, shows a man in a blue top following Abadigga and his bodyguard as they leave the food court to head back to the car park, and paying for parking three seconds after Abadigga and Abotese do.

The mall CCTV footage contains another vital clue. The licence plates of the suspected kidnappers' vehicles are clearly visible.

A white car and a white van caught on CCTV in the Mall of Africa shopping centre car park
These vehicles entered the Mall of Africa, on the day Abadigga and his bodyguard were last seen - they belonged to a front company for South African special forces
The vehicles were all registered to a company called Peters Communications Trust (PCT), a front company for South African special forces - Ameen and the IO were to discover.

At the time of Abadigga's disappearance, PCT's directors included Maj Gen Herbert Mashego, the then commanding officer of 5 Special Forces Regiment.

Police documents say a meeting was arranged between the IO and high ranks of the military, including Brig Gen Yalo, the then head of special forces, at which the IO was instructed to tell Ameen there was no link between PCT and the military.

So, with the investigation seemingly at a standstill, Abadigga's brother took his case to the Johannesburg High Court.

Responding to Ameen's legal action, special forces denied all knowledge of Abadigga or his whereabouts. They did, however, admit their soldiers had been at the Mall of Africa on the date in question, but said they had been there for a training exercise.

They named the man seen wearing blue on CCTV as Maj Sunnybooi Wambi, and said he had been the exercise commander. They also admitted all the suspect vehicles seen at the mall belonged to them.

Domestic operations by South Africa's military need to be authorised by both the government and the presidency.

We asked South African former Defence Minister Thandi Modise, and President Ramaphosa, if they had authorised a training exercise in the Mall of Africa - Modise did not respond and Ramaphosa declined to comment.

The man in blue, paying for parking just after Abadigga and his bodyguard, has been identified as Sunnybooi Wambi from special forces
When Mathipa was assigned to the case a month later, he issued a subpoena to special forces to force them to hand over full details of this alleged training exercise and all the personnel involved.

When access to these documents was finally promised, three months later, Mathipa had a premonition that he would be murdered - according to Brig Paulina Sekgobela, his commanding officer.

"When [Mathipa] left my office he said: 'Brigadier, you know, these people - they are going to kill me. I'm going to die'," she told the BBC.

On the day Mathipa was killed, he was phoned by a man calling himself Tebogo, who claimed he had information on the case for the detective - according to Mathipa's daughter Basetsana, who was home with him at the time.

Mathipa and Tebogo arranged to meet at a petrol station in Pretoria.

When Tebogo failed to show, Mathipa drove away again, along the highway.

He was killed while driving, by rounds fired from high-velocity weapons which special forces would have had access to, according to South African police.

And footage from motorway toll gantries, police say, shows one of the occupants of the black BMW, which tailed Mathipa moments before his murder, was Maj Sunnybooi Wambi.

This car, like the three vehicles connected with Abadigga's disappearance at the mall, was registered to PCT, they add.

New detectives were assigned to the case after Mathipa's death, triggering a chilling message from special forces, that made its way to the police's Criminal Intelligence division.

Police say it warned that, however many investigating officers were assigned to the case, "we will kill all of them".

Twelve members of the South African military have been arrested in total, including Lt Col Sunnybooi Wambi, and the current head of South Africa's special forces, Brig Gen Solomon Lechoenyo - both promoted to these positions since police first started investigating their roles in the case.

The 12 have been variously charged with the abduction and murder of Abadigga and Abotese, the murder of Mathipa, fraud, and obstruction.

All deny all charges and they were initially released on bail. But six of them later had their bail revoked, and were ordered to turn themselves in to custody.

Three of the six, including Wambi, have been charged with both Mathipa's murder, and Abotese's abduction and murder.

The military has refused to hand them over.

In July, their lawyers cited mental health treatment for their absence. Three years after Mathipa's killing, no trial date has been set.

Meanwhile, Abadigga's body has never been found.

"[Mathipa] was barking up the right tree. He was taking on the right lion," Vreugdenburg says of the late detective.

Mathipa's daughter Basetsana puts it starkly: "We need justice. I'm never going to see my dad anymore... Why my dad? Because he was doing his job."

It's either bacterial or chemical. Serve your soup from the fire. If you eat hot and it still purges you, might be chemical. Always rinse your market-bought vegetable with baking soda, and then with plain water.

If you still purge, might be some kind of irritable bowel issue.

The above applies to all soups.
