Namaster:
The way Tinubu and his minions are SCRAMBLING helter-skelter to implement SENSIBLE policies at the prospect of a nationwide protest is a testament to how EVIL they are.

They had the means to ALLEVIATE the pain and suffering of Nigerians but they chose to do NOTHING!

Pure EVIL!

Now that the CONSEQUENCES of their evil ways is about to catch up to them, they are in PANIC mode.

Very wrong and naïve view you have.

You are saying we should always allow free imports of food and everything, but that will make things far worse in the long run by destroying local jobs and agriculture.

So the removal of tariffs on imported essentials has to be temporary, not permanent.

franugo:
So they're redo-ing the debate?

Yes!

And Trump must attend or he’s toast!

In the next few years they will claim it was an oyinbo man that invented it.

Unstoppable Nigerian intelligence and ingenuity on display yet again.

This young Nigerian has just made life easier for the visually impaired.

mrvitalis:
Even if the road is in my village it's near useless

It's only a fool that would see Nigerian economic situation and decide to borrow money to build roads... It's the height if foolishness

It's a equivalent to a man who owes 1 billion struggles to pay his monthly payments... Then he gets a loan of 500 million that adds 10 million to his monthly bill payment... And the man use the money to build a mansion in his village... That's exactly what tinubu and his team did

Shut up. Not a single PENNY was borrowed for that road. The contractor is funding it to 80% and the FG 20% on a build, operate, transfer arrangement.

Dirty liars.

The govt should not build roads?

How are food and other goods transported around the country?

By email?

Ewu.

mrvitalis:
No sensible president would allow the country get this bad

Tinubu has not gotten one policy right... Not a single one

Floated the naira like an idiot, yet defend it with billions of dollars

Removed subsidy brought it back after 2 weeks now we spend trillions in subsidy

Borrow money to build near useless road project while your SMEs starve

Tinubu is a disaster, ignorant and arrogant

The road is “near useless” because it doesn’t pass through Onitsha and Aba.

It only passes through Calabar, Rivers and Akwa Ibom, and those are not as important as Igbos, so the road is ‘useless’.

Tomorrow you will ask them to join you to form Biafra, so you can show them how unimportant they are as you seize and feed fat on their oil.

Satan.

Aaronsrod:
Yes! We call on His Holy name!

We pray for and we bless His Chosen People.

If we bless Israel God shall bless us.

When a Man of God raped me I did not curse him.

I blessed him in Jesus name knowing God will reward me in Heaven.

Same way we must lift our voices and praise Israel regardless of what they do.

How can we ordinary Nigerians speak ill of His Chosen?

Stupid, brainless fanatic.

Look at the homicidal vomit issuing from his evil, psychopathic, diseased mind.

If you think the Creator supports your mass murder and rape of innocent men, women and children, your demonic head has a big shock coming to it when you leave this world, you dirty, bloodthirsty vampire.

Bobloco:
Shame on you

Why?

franugo:
I'm confused tho, I thought they'd already done the debate...the one where Biden was talking gibberish is which debate? Or there's more than one?

Oga, Biden has dropped out of the race from old age.

lauzun:
See this airhead bimbo! Trump, a former president, is afraid to debate you, why? What does she think she knows better than Trump? It's only Tinubu supporters that will be masturbating over this kind of news...

So you actually think Trump knows anything....

Kai...

So many ignorant peeps here.

Are you aware that Kamala Harris was a criminal prosecutor for over 25 years before becoming attorney-general of California, and then a senator, and then a Vice-President, and that she's travelled to over 150 countries?

What is Trump's experience in comparison?

Running a casino in Las Vegas and a dodgy real estate company in New York City that's been implicated in fraud charges, in addition to being a 92 felony charged convicted criminal?

MadamVanessa:



The annihilation of Palestinian terrorists is a dream that must be achieved. Propaganda upon propaganda will not make any rational being to be on the side of the terrorists.

You're an animal.

Satan.

I'm sure you go to church and shout 'Jesus'.

saintokwuluora:
Story, she should first rectify her candidacy for the Democrats before thinking of debate.

Her candidacy is assured, Mr Man.

There's nothing to wait for.

Obama and Michelle plus the Clintons have endorsed her, so it's all over. She's the candidate.

You guys should admit that Trump is scared of that woman.

US Vice President and candidate for the Democratic Party Kamala Harris has declared that she is ready to debate against an EMPTY PODIUM after Republican party candidate Trump chickened out of the planned Presidential Debate between the two aspirants.

Analysts see this move by Harris as adding further pressure on the Trump campaign, as his absence could be seen as more dramatic and damaging, with his podium empty during the debate.

No Nonsense - Kamala Harris

Sapasenator:
ore mi, you are still not getting it, irrespective of who I support or whatever campaign promises might have made, those are mere words and you cannot hold people accountable for "mere words" if they did not eventually get the poison. If Tinubu did not win the presidency, whatever promises he made during the campaign will be irrelevant to the discussion now.

As far as the Nigeria project is concerned, Obo, Atiku, or Sowore are irrelevant. We hold our leaders accountable and Tinubu is our president now who has made the decision that is now affecting Nigerians adversely.

Are you saying we should return to subsidies?

You can't just sit on the fence on these weighty issues and then be blaming govt!

Tinubu is not a magician.

If YOU were the president, you would have ended the subsidies too, and we would be in this same situation you are protesting against!!!!!

Sapasenator:
But I never supported Obi and you can see all the false assumptions you are making all in an attempt not to hold your leader accountable. Can you see what I mean now? At so point, you will have to look at the performance of your elected leader and hold them to account if we truly love our country and want what is good for her. Nigeria is bigger than me, you, Obi or Tinubu.

At the end, we deserve the kind of leaders we get as we the followers are a reflection of our leaders.

So who did you support?

Atiku?

He also promised to remove subsidies!

Or maybe you supported Sowore or that other Igbo bank guy whose name I've forgotten.

None of those guys supported continued subsidy!

The govt was borrowing 10 billion dollars a year to pay them!

commoditiesnig:
That's brilliant of you. Hypocrisy is the big problem in this country.

You can say that again.

People's opinion and outlook on any issue changes entirely depending on the ethnic origin of - or their political affiliation with - the source of the issue.

They've totally lost the ability to be objective.

Sapasenator:
Has Obi removed the fuel subsidy? Can you remind me who did? People like you believe we are never supposed to hold our elected officials accountable.

But you supported Obi for promising to do the exact same thing for which you are ''holding elected officials accountable''.

So the question arises, if Obi was in power, would you be storming the streets in protest over the rising costs caused by the fuel subsidy removal?

Or would you be admonishing people to be patient and to give him time for his policies to mature?

We both know the answer to that.

Don't bother responding.

Melagros:
Is this all you can say? Is Obi the president? Shame on you

If Obi was the president would you be protesting?

The millions of Nigerians preparing to storm the streets in protest over rising living costs, have a lofty new addition to their enraged ranks - President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

According to his officials, the President is ALSO A PROTESTER, and is doing his utmost to provide for the masses.

''Briefing State House correspondents at the end of the Council meeting, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, disclosed that 10 trucks of rice to each state was a measure put in place to address poverty and high cost of living.

“The President has listened to the voices of all those who are planning this protest. And the message is that there is no need for it.

“Indeed, the President is already protesting on their behalf by doing those things that they want a government to do for example, the effort that government is making, in ensuring that food is being made available.''

Cassandraloius:
If it's all painted in black, people will come to the conclusion that the person is a witch.

BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN MENTALLY COLONISED.

In pre-colonial Africa it was an ALL-WHITE COLOURED HOUSE that would be viewed as a 'witch house'.

ChrisFerds:
It will make huge sense with streaks of white here and there

A BLACK HOUSE NEEDS NO ''STREAKS OF WHITE''.

Goldsplash:
"They have approved South East Devt Commission. go to south east and see where they are already. apart from state capitals, the rest of southwest looks depressing. we need SOUTH WEST DEVT COMMISSION urgently too. No pride about it".
The south east is where it is today not because of the recently established SEDC or government, but individual efforts. Is he expecting the South West Development Commission to embark on demolition and rebuilding of houses in those areas. The major eyesore are the old houses which can only change when there is extra money in the hands of the people. I reside in one of the capitals (Akure), and it's a surprise to even see some houses built with mud, just plastered with cement.

What’s wrong with that?

You can build a beautiful house ENTIRELY with mud.

It is colonial programming that makes you think mud is inferior for building.

Open Gutter Specialists.

O.G.S.

Prof, is that how they built the road that is in front of your American mansion?

Peter Obi is a narcissist.

He sees people as tools, not humans.

That's why he callously exploited the passing of a supposed 'friend' for political gain.

His 'friend' is only useful to the extent that he can advance his political ambition.

The way Igbos run from these threads eh?

You won't see any of them here.

Only when it's time to insult Tinubu or Soyinka, you will see them.

Kevineleven:

Men there are many things invented by white men that you need to reject not just Their religion.
Africans couldn't have invented any of these things, which made me to believe that God is a white man.
Now you can go and worship your ancestors

Typical brainwashed, ignorant Nigerian buffoon, and compound dullard.

Who told you white people invented clothes?

Your wretched colonial miseducation that filled your little head with trash designed to make you feel inferior?

Where would the world be today without the numerous AFRICAN inventions that civilised the entire world?


12 Amazing African Inventions That Changed The World



1 Speech

The first words by humans were spoken by Africans.

''Using statistical methods to estimate the time required to achieve the current spread and diversity in modern languages today, Johanna Nichols — a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley — argues that vocal language must have arisen in our species at least 100,000 years ago. Using phonemic diversity, a more recent analysis offers directly linguistic support for a similar date. Estimates of this kind are independently supported by genetic, archaeological, palaeontological and much other evidence suggesting that language probably emerged somewhere in sub-Saharan Africa during the Middle Stone Age, roughly contemporaneous with the speciation of Homo sapiens.''


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_language




2 Writing


In 1999, Archaeology Magazine reported that the earliest Egyptian hieroglyphs date back to 3400 BCE which "...challenge the commonly held belief that early logographs, pictographic symbols representing a specific place, object, or quantity, first evolved into more complex phonetic symbols in Mesopotamia."

Who were these original Egyptians?

The Greek historian Herodotus.. described the Colchians of the Black Sea shores as "Egyptians by race" and pointed out they had "black skins and kinky hair."

Apollodorus, the Greek philosopher, described Egypt as "the country of the black-footed ones" and the Latin historian Ammianus Marcellinus said "the men of Egypt are mostly brown or black with a skinny desiccated look."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specials/1624_story_of_africa/page88.shtml

In his book 'Egypt', British scholar Sir E.A. Wallis Budge says: "The prehistoric native of Egypt, both in the old and in the new Stone Ages, was African and there is every reason for saying that the earliest settlers came from the South." He further states: "There are many things in the manners and customs and religions of the historic Egyptians that suggests that the original home of their prehistoric ancestors was in a country in the neighborhood of Uganda and Punt [present day Somalia]."

''Greek historian Diodorus Siculus devoted an entire chapter of his world history, the Bibliotheke Historica, or Library of History (Book 3), to the Kushites ["Aithiopians"] of Meroe. Here he repeats the story of their great piety, their high favor with the gods, and adds the fascinating legend that they were.. the founders of Egyptian civilization, invented writing, and had given the Egyptians their religion and culture.''

(1st century B.C., Diodorus Siculus of Sicily, Greek historian and contemporary of Caesar Augustus, Universal History Book III. 2. 4-3. 3)

http://wysinger.homestead.com/blackegypt101.html

To summarise:

"Ancient Egypt was a Negro civilisation. The history of Black Africa will remain suspended in the air and cannot be written correctly until African historians connect it with the history of Egypt. The African historian who evades the problem of Egypt is neither modest nor objective nor unruffled. He is ignorant, cowardly and neurotic. The ancient Egyptians were Negroes. The moral fruit of their civilisation is to be counted among the assets of the Black world."

- Cheikh Anta Diop, The African Origin of Civilisation.



3 Medicine

''The earliest known surgery was performed in Egypt around 2750 BC.... The Ebers papyrus (1550 BC) is full of incantations and foul applications meant to turn away disease-causing demons, and also includes 877 prescriptions. It may also contain the earliest documented awareness of tumors..

Homer (800 BC) remarked in the Odyssey: "In Egypt, the men are more skilled in medicine than any of human kind" and "the Egyptians were skilled in medicine more than any other art". The Greek historian Herodotus visited Egypt around 440 BC and wrote extensively of his observations of their medicinal practices. Pliny the Elder also wrote favourably of them in historical review. Hippocrates (the 'father of medicine'), Herophilos, Erasistratus and later Galen studied at the temple of Amenhotep, and acknowledged the contribution of ancient Egyptian medicine to Greek medicine.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_medicine



4 Architecture

The African empire of Egypt developed a vast array of diverse structures and great architectural monuments along the Nile, among the largest and most famous of which are the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza

The pyramids, which were built in the Fourth Dynasty, testify to the power of the pharaonic religion and state. They were built to serve both as grave sites and also as a way to make their names last forever. The size and simple design show the high skill level of Egyptian design and engineering on a large scale. The Great Pyramid of Giza, which was probably completed c. 2580 BC, is the oldest and largest of the pyramids, and is the only surviving monument of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The pyramid of Khafre is believed to have been completed around 2532 BC, at the end of Khafre's reign.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_architecture



5 Mathematics

The invention of mathematics is placed firmly in African PRE-HISTORY.

''The oldest known possibly mathematical object is the Lebombo bone, discovered in the Lebombo mountains of Swaziland and dated to approximately 35,000 BC. It consists of 29 distinct notches cut into a baboon's fibula. Also prehistoric artifacts discovered in Africa and France, dated between 35,000 and 20,000 years old [respectively], suggest early attempts to quantify time.

The Ishango bone, found near the headwaters of the Nile river (northeastern Congo), may be as much as 20,000 years old and consists of a series of tally marks carved in three columns running the length of the bone. Common interpretations are that the Ishango bone shows either the earliest known demonstration of sequences of prime numbers or a six month lunar calendar.

Also, Predynastic Egyptians of the 5th millennium BC pictorially represented geometric designs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mathematics#Prehistoric_mathematics

''Numeral systems have been many and diverse, with the first known written numerals created by Egyptians in Middle Kingdom texts such as the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus.

The earliest uses of mathematics were in trading, land measurement, painting and weaving patterns and the recording of time. More complex mathematics did not appear until around 3000 BC, when the Egyptians and Babylonians began using arithmetic, algebra and geometry for taxation and other financial calculations, for building and construction, and for astronomy''

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics



6 Mining of minerals

The oldest known mine on archaeological record is the "Lion Cave" in Swaziland, which radiocarbon dating shows to be about 43,000 years old. Much later on, the Africans of Egypt mined malachite....Quarries for turquoise and copper were also found at "Wadi Hamamat, Tura, Aswan and various other Nubian sites"..The gold mines of Nubia were among the largest and most extensive in the world, and are described by the Greek author Diodorus Siculus. He mentions that fire-setting was one method used to break down the hard rock holding the gold. One of the complexes is shown in one of earliest known maps. They crushed the ore and ground it to a fine powder before washing the powder for the gold dust.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mining#Prehistoric_mining



7 Iron Smelting

Iron smelting is a form of extractive metallurgy; its main use is to produce a metal from its ore. This includes production of silver, iron, copper and other base metals from their ores. Smelting uses heat and a chemical reducing agent to decompose the ore, driving off other elements as gasses or slag and leaving just the metal behind.

Early iron smelting:

''Where and how iron smelting was discovered is widely debated, and remains uncertain due to the significant lack of production finds.. [but] there is a further possibility of iron smelting and working in West Africa by 1200 BC. In addition, very early instances of carbon steel were found to be in production around 2000 years before the present in northwest Tanzania, based on complex preheating principles. These discoveries are significant for the history of metallurgy.''

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelting


8 Religion

Greek historian Diodorus Siculus. From his own statements we learn that he traveled in Egypt around 60 BC. His travels in Egypt probably took him as far south as the first Cataract. He wrote about the black races of inner Africa whom he called ''Ethiopians'', dwelling south of Egypt.

"They further write that it was among them that people were first taught to honor the gods and offer sacrifices and arrange processions and festivals and perform other things by which people honor the divine. For this reason their piety is famous among all men, and the sacrifices among the Ethiopians are believed to be particularly pleasing to the divinity."


9 Laws

Stephanus of Byzantium, who is said to represent the opinions of the most ancient Greeks, says:

"Ethiopia was the first established country on the earth, and the Ethiopians were the first who introduced the worship of the Gods and who established laws."

Quoted by John D. Baldwin, Prehistoric Nations, p. 62.



10 International Trade


In 1825, Arnold Hermann Heeren (1760-1842), Professor of History and Politics in the University of Gottengen and one of the ablest of the early exponents of the economic interpretation of history, published, in the fourth and revised edition of his great work Ideen Uber Die Politik, Den Verkehr Und Den Handel Der Vornehmsten Volker Der Alten Weld, a lengthy essay on the history, culture, and commerce of the ancient Ethiopians, which had profound influence on contemporary writers in the conclusion that it was among these ancient Black people of Africa and Asia that international trade was first developed.

He wrote that as a by-product of these international contacts there was an exchange of ideas and cultural practices that laid the foundations of the earliest civilizations of the ancient world. Heeren in his researches says:

"From the remotest times to the present, the Ethiopians (ancient name for blacks south of the Sahara) have been one of the most celebrated, and yet the most mysterious of nations. In the earliest traditions of nearly all the..civilized nations of antiquity, the name of this distant people is found.

..The annals of the Egyptian priests are full of them, and the nations of inner Asia, on the Euphrates and Tigris, have interwoven the fictions of the Ethiopians with their traditions of the wars and conquests of their heroes; and, at a period equally remote, they glimmer in Greek mythology. When the Greeks scarcely knew Italy and Sicily by name, the Ethiopians were celebrated in the verses of their poets, and when the faint gleam of tradition and fable gives way to the clear light of history, the lustre of the Ethiopians is not diminished. They still continue to be the objects of curiosity and admiration, and the pen of clear-sighted, cautious historians places them in the highest rank of knowledge and civilization."

11 Philosophy

Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy#Ancient_philosophy

Philosophy in Africa has a rich and varied history, dating from pre-dynastic Egypt, continuing through the birth of Christianity and Islam. Arguably central to the ancients was the conception of "ma'at", which roughly translated refers to "justice", "truth", or simply "that which is right". One of the earliest works of political philosophy was the Maxims of Ptah-Hotep, which were taught to Egyptian schoolboys for centuries...Ancient Egyptian philosophers made extremely important contributions to Hellenistic philosophy, Christian philosophy, and Islamic philosophy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_philosophy

''Ancient Egyptian philosophy has been credited by the ancient Greeks as being the beginning of philosophy''.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_philosophy


12 Art

The oldest art objects in the world—a series of tiny, drilled snail shells about 75,000 years old—were discovered in a South African cave.

You don't need to sacrifice anything..... Just speak to them in sincerity of heart... If you are calling on Amadioha, do so when it's raining under the rain barefoot

If you are calling Njoku, pack sand and throw. Just ensure that you are doing it with a sincere and open heart

Oh, this is fantastic.

You should write a book or even a pamphlet on this, and market it.

There are many people out there who need this information.

Peoples’ eyes are opening. And not everybody has time to go to village and be asking questions.

Thank you brother 🙏

Sapasenator:
At the heart of every religion the worship of a god or deity. You cannot separate religion from worship. Like you, I gave up on the white man's religion more than 2 years ago.

Never stepped in a church the past 2 years as I realized they are all an elaborate scheme to hypnotize and control members.

Buddhists don’t worship Buddha.

Buddhism and Shintoism are sort of spiritual codes of conduct, fundamentally similar to African religions.

The deity or godhead is seen merely as a conduit or facilitator helping us to access supernatural realities and powers.
