Please read about the "Plaza Accords". Before the meeting, American lawmakers and companies rattled that the Japanese were playing "unfair" in trading with the US. They attacked Toshiba, Toyota, SONY and every major Japanese company then. For a country the US bombed twice using the atomic bomb, rebuilt and the defeated people becoming your bonafide ally, the US forced the Japanese to sign the Plaza Accords.

Now, they are using the same playbook against China. But China no gree.

This is an interesting angle. But I think whatever problems were created for the Japanese economy by the Accord should have been surmounted in a decade or less. After all, the yen has been undervalued since forever and remains so. There seems to be a crippling lack of innovation in the country's technology sector - seems na there the wahala dey.

No, with clear understanding of geographical facts of Japan vis a vis other countries, the limit of her strength should be known. It even tried.

No matter the tech, The Gambia cannot be more than Kenya; or Switzerland, more than Mexico.

I considered this fact - which partly explains why China overtook Japan. The problem, however, is that Japan and China have not both been running. Since the 90's, Japan has *remained in one place* while China has been running. The wonder is why the masters of innovation lost it completely and started running backwards. Compare Japan to the US which has continued to run.

How Japan's trend of growth stopped in the 90's will remain a wonder. To think people once thought it'd rival and maybe surpass the US. Now, China is well ahead of it.

Why did EU lawmakers rejected gmo

Hysteria. Suspicion. Understandable (for something new), but it wasn't based on science. It's only a matter of time now before the EU embraces GMO.

HNICEARTH:
You know it as a bini word, 100% truth.
Another person knows it as an igbo word. 100% truth.

Yes. This is what I was saying. The only issue is (1) Whether the Nigerian aza derives from Igbo or Bini (which I claimed no knowledge of), (2) whether Bini derived its obi from Igbo (which I claimed knowledge of and said IT DIDDN'T, (3) Whether the Igbo obi derived from Bini (which I claimed no knowledge of).

Just because you only know it as a bini word does not mean the word existing as an igbo word is false.

Nowhere did I say this. I didn't even imply it. Your comprehension skills though. Now, you're throwing around words like "ignorance". Must make you feel better.

EVERY WORD THAT SPEWS OUT OF THAT WEASEL'S MOUTH IS LIE.

Dude learnt from the master liar himself Mr Putin.

USA will be against it until it is them that do it first

Lol. Who told you the US doesn't have it's own cancer vaccine research ongoing or even beyond the stage of Putin's?

HNICEARTH:
"And no, aza wasn't borrowed from Igbo. Maybe the Igbo borrowed it from Benin - I don't know and can't make that claim either. "

Obi is a word. Aza is another word. Obiaza is a combination of two words. Wether in your language or any other language. Go ahead and research

You arent sure aza wasnt borrowed from igbo, but you are comfortable with speculating the igbos borrowed it. Just bring a documented evidence and I wont argue with you. Look, all these languages have books written about them that span over 50-100yrs. Just cite one

Research fire. Obi (carrier) wasn't borrowed from the Igbo obi (king or something). The word "obi" does not on its own even have a meaning in Benin - it's shorted from a much longer expression for "the person that carries". It has no royal connotation like the Igbo "obi". So try again. I wasn't even speculating where Igbo got aza from. It may well have come from Bini. Or not. I don't know. What I do know is that aza (treasure or treasure house) is a very old Bini word, as old as antiquity, that is, long before the Igbo and the Bini started borrowing things from each other.

HNICEARTH:
Certain words are interchangeable in some languages. Obviously, the binis borrowed the word from the igbos. Obi-aza....ain't obi an igbo word?🤷🏿‍♂️

Below is a dictionary

Obi in obiaza is not an Igbo word. Are you ok? Of course, there's an Igbo word obi, but that means something entirely different. And no, aza wasn't borrowed from Igbo. Maybe the Igbo borrowed it from Benin - I don't know and can't make that claim either. But whatever you prefer to believe should be fine by you.

HNICEARTH:
You heard it first in benin, does not mean it originated from Benin. It's not a benin word, it's an igbo word.

Well, the treasurer to the Oba of Benin in ancient times was called Obiaza (bearer of treasure).

If it spills, then other people's luggage may be affected. How would you feel having oil on your clothes and documents when you are not even carrying oil?

Good point.

The scanner will pick it no matter how you hide it and they won't just let it pass through. It could cause delays for the traveller as well. When others are boarding, you will be there rummaging through your luggage to get the oil out. It's not worth it. African stores in Canada generally sell good oil.

I see. But I wonder what they have against palm oil. It's not like you can use it to make bomb.

slaawomirr:
Damnnn niggar

Misplaced priority

Yes. The multiplicity of states is one of the reasons Nigeria is poor.

ayandee:
You need to drop that palm oil. Customs won't let it pass.

A whole palm oil? Why?

So,people still uses match sticks? Why not a lighter? You're a good sister though. And I hope some of the items you put there will not be a reason why they will send her back.

Lol. Why naa?

The heatwave nor be here. My room was 37c this afternoon. Enugu to be precise.

No electricity to power the air conditioner. I almost die last night for heat and mosquito.

The light show up now but not stable

It's drop to 36.1 C after I power the air conditioner. The humidity is 37%,

This heat is a sign of rain coming soon.

Is there heat in your location?

Live from Lagos. But 37?! You guys are trying o.

Economic hardship: Kano traders slash prices of essential goods



SOURCE: The PUNCH

So Kano State has a Public Compliant and Anti-Corruption Commission. Good to know.

Nicepoker:
All four of them? Is a lie. Na only one of them no gree.

This is why I'm also scratching my jaw. If you say one policeman rejected a bribe, I'll believe it because there are still good officers. But that four policemen in one place reached a consensus to reject good money? Hmm. Hard to believe. I hope it's true though.

Lol. Obi failed all those papers? Well, I don't believe you, sir.

The noisemakers would avoid this thread.

Emergency lovers of Nigeria who are determined to paint this govt bad so as to promote the third class UNN graduate who failed English... mathematics... Economics.. Government.

UNN have a case to answer.

Wait. He failed that badly and still made CBN governor? Not surprised though. He never sounded inspiring and was appointed by Jonathan who, like Buhari, couldn't tell his own right hand from his left.

As usual, they don't read (won't read) but always quick to comment.

Fyi, no election observer requested payment. Ewelele forged a document to steal from the nation's coffers.

You dey mind them. But I'm sure the thieving midget who never pretended he was serving anyone but himself will be happy to know he still has a few supporters out there.

I am in a relationship with one. So I am typing from experience.

Hmm. Interesting stuff.

HEBEI:
Are you still in a relationship with her?

I think she lost interest when I refused to promise I won't cheat on her. But if I really want her, I can call her I tell her I "want to get serious" with her and I'm sure she'd come.

xtianchris:
She's from the Marine. Becareful with her. Dont let her manipulate you. Thier aim is for men to be loyal to them that's all..They are all over the places looking to fall men Glory. The prize is the man . It's a war my brother... Some have good heart some have devilish heart. The one with good heart will give you good tidings for you to be loyal to them .. The once with wicked heart. When a man meet with them they man begins to crumble and fall... The once with good heart don't last . Because you show them love and stuff like that. But if they leave everything leaves with them ..You start all over again ..So it takes Higher intelligence and wisdom to over come them. .. Just like me I have met allot of them they always like me because I have Thier key. I let them know who they are and they laugh . I have lots of them as friends.. They are loyal to me. You know why because I was married to one but she felt ill and died. I spent alot fir her to survive hospital to hospital but she still died. She blessed and said I will have back all that I have spent on her that' I really love her I didn't run away. I was with her till the very end . Guess what it's not about money but from that day I got wisdom and knowledge about Thier kingdom... The ones in Africa are like Baby to me .I want to be higher one. White women 😂😂 They are gooddes.. So you get the jerk...No matter the woman rich or poor small or old . I have they key .I know them. They are always loyal to me. MARRIED SINGLE THEY SRE MY FRIENDS. I de use them Play very well. Because I have dine and wine with A Queen which is my wife.
After my wife died I was in the dream I saw her with a Crown on her Head. With two other girls beside her. Sitting on the throne like stuff. Any woman I come across with I always tell them about me wife how lovely and intelligent they she is. They will fear me and succom . They always give me chance .Lol ..
They give me Gifts . stuff like that I have paid the price.. 😜😁.

Bizarre stuff. Thank you.

But the End doesn't really end well.. Stay strong my brother... .
Everything she gives you goes back ...
Slave and master Shit .. You understand

Seems you know a thing or two about this. Please I have a question.

I met a very pretty girl. One day, as we were about to eat, she said she doesn't eat fish. When I pressed her on WHY, she said "You can't eat yourself naa. Don't worry, maybe later I will tell you more."

What does this mean?
