⚡Putin will not end the war until we all end it together, Zelensky says.

"He will not stop until he destroys Ukraine. And if Ukraine does not defeat the Russian Federation, then Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Moldova may be next."

Procashtips:
You're the one speaking from both sides of the mouth

If you don't know the right time to speak the truth, why condemn those speaking it?

There's no right time to speak the truth.

Speaking the truth should be all the time

Anything short of that is hypocrisy and cowardice.

Alright, then.

⚡10 Ukranian men were captured trying to escape into Moldova. According to the SBU, the men paid $5000 each to someone to get them across.

They committed no crime

At the bolded, it was Kenny Rogers, not Don Williams that sang the Gambler Song.

Oops.

Corrected. Thanks

Procashtips:
So when is it right to speak the truth?
When no one is left to listen to the truth?

Of course, the right thing to do is to speak the truth always. Just be wise about it. I really can't tell you when and where to speak or just be silent. A smart person will know exactly when, where and how.

May I know what point you're driving at?

Procashtips:
At least it is on record that these people spoke against evil.
That it won't change anything doesn't mean it shouldn't be spoken against or should no one speak against evil again just because it's likely not going to change anything in a hypothetical (western) society?

The late great Kenny Rogers sang in The Gambler song:
"You gotta know when to hold'em, know when to fold'em, know when to walk away, know when to fight.."

My ancestors also has this proverb:
"A true warrior knows when to fight and when to avoid fight"

They know what they're talking about and it's not about cowardice.

Seems he must get permission from Atiku before talking.

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣

What if he is legit but doesn't have the 200k to start? Broke people can have excellent ideas too you know.

My brother, if he's legit, he will take loan and make the money back times ten. He won't tell nairalanders nothing.

Any street-smart Nigerian can easily detect such local scam.

Can this man fight the whole world alone..??

Why is he that feared..?

He has nuclear bombs and he is mad enough to use it.

Procashtips:
It's now a mistake to speak the truth and call someone what he or she is?

It could be, if it ruins your career. Some good deeds can be done in a bad manner or bad timing.

Criticising them didn't achieve anything of importance, especially after Kanye was forced to apologise.

matify83:
Debt they know nothing about.

Even most of us around did not even benefit from the loan.

This is akin to what the bible described as the fathers eating soar grapes and the children teeth set on edge.

It's normal.

If children inherit riches from their parents. They know nothing about it too.

Let me tell you why this might likely not work out

You see the level of corruption in Nigeria is deeper than hades abode. These immigration officers will find a way to frustrate this online process in a such a way that you won’t have option but to go their offices to either finish the process or pick your passport up, and avenue for them to take bribe as usual


When I applied for mine in 2021, someone who works in the immigration told me to ditch the online portal and go to their office because if they know you applied online they will give you stories and excuses how your own is still delayed, they will frustrate you so much you won’t have any other option than wait for several months or bribe them to fasten the process for you

Mine came out within a week, meanwhile a colleague that had applied in Lagos office for the past three months hadn’t gotten his, that was the period there was a claim no paper or what ever to print the passports

If this automation option must work, a lot of corrupt people must be removed from the immigration, then adequate infrastructure provide to support the portal, because Nigeria is notoriously for having network downtime or failure when it comes to online application and registration. Jamb is a good example, year in year out they always encounter server downtime at critical times

You're 100% correct.

When I read the headline, I laughed. No be the same Nigeria we dey?

Vl3ly:
⚡️Saudi Arabia has officially joined BRICS, the state-owned Al Ekhbariya television reported.

@ukraine_watch

Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Iran join BRICS will definitely change the world order away from the dollar-dependent trade.

Putin really hit the West with this one.

Alamkir:
Another deceptive comment, to make Urself seem like there's any good in you. My point is u have a stand, some of ur comments here has proven it, stop pretending and pointing fingers to others

Alright.

I actually edited my earlier comment to answer your question.

Alamkir:
And u where do u stand. Am guessing "IN THE PRETENDERS ZONE" atleast some are forthcoming with who they support and the reason why. With some of ur comments, we are wise enough to know ur deceptive strategy

😂😂😂

You wan fight me? Because I didn't join you to hate what you hate? Oya, come and beat me nao.

edit:
On a serious note, I am actually pro-West and pro-Israel. But this is not a blind loyalty. Because the way the West plays international politics, it's very difficult to be
totally pro-West and be totally honest with yourself. That's why you may observe where I criticize the West sometimes. The fact that you're my friend does not mean I should pat you on the back when you do wrong. This thread actually made me realise some things I didn't realise before.

I hope this gives you some closure about where I stand.

Peace.

DystopianMuse:
These folks!!!!!!!!!
If US had moved there you the same person will still complain they are doing too much
And if they didn't
Turkey US NATO ally did.

This particular thread is heavily populated by commenters who are USA-hating, Israel-hating, Russia-loving and Hamas-loving. They see nothing right with whatever USA or Israel does and nothing wrong with whatever Russia or Hamas does.

There are also those who fall into the other extreme. Biased towards the West and Israel.

Very few commenters here are neutral and fair in their assessment.

Know this and and know peace.

Alamkir:
Till now dj khalid is yet to support gaza

What! DJ Khaled is a Palestinian

I'm just knowing today

edit:
Well, I can understand why he will dare not speak or do anything that criticize the Jews. The Jews control the industry leaders that control the entertainment industry in America. Remember what they did to Kanye. They almost ruin the guy's life for criticizing the Jews. What affected Kanye will definitely ruin if not kill Khaled, if he made the same mistake Kanye made.

Alamkir:
I dnt think this dude knows the meaning of surprise

I think he aims to deceive the Russians. What he said here is not exactly what he will do. That's the surprise.

But I don't think there is any surprises that will surprise the Russians.

How can you fight a war against a country you're occupying?

A country with no standing military?

How Una dey think Na?

Na 2024 we dey o, I need someone who can help me be a better thinker, some of you are just killing our intelligence on this thread.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

shoodboi2:
I doubt that. Polygamy is illegal in many of those ex-Soviet Muslim countries. I think only Kazakhstan allows doesn't criminalize polygamy but it doesn't recognize it either. So, if you practice polygamy there, the marriage won't be recognized. But in the rest, the marriage won't be recognized and you will still get punished on top.

Wow. I thought polygamy is totally acceptable in all Islamic lands. I didn't know there are some exceptions.

Vl3ly:
thanks but xtian decreased population unko what caused it,

Wars, fear of wars, migration.

Look at Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, Georgia and Baltic nations for instance.

It's not like there is no migration or fears of wars in those Islamic nations but the high birth rate offset the net migration.

Again, these are just my guesses, observations and inferences.

Vl3ly:
you need to understand one thing from this table

All the Muslims country from this table have increased population while xtian population decreased ,pls what caused it

My guess:
Muslims on the average have higher birth rates. Polygamy also helps population growth.

WrriterNig:
⚡South Korea's army has a new enemy - Population match

South Korea, the country with the world's lowest birth rate, may soon find itself without enough soldiers to fully staff its armed forces.

The country has about half a million soldiers. With a birth rate of just 0.78 children per woman per lifetime, the defence establishment will have to reduce its forces at a time of particular tension in the Asia-Pacific region, experts say.

They should open their borders to African immigrants, their women go get belle tire 😁😁

(IMF)

I'm not surprised about China and India. Russian oil they bought cheap and sold expensive to Europe really boosted their economy.

This was Hamas's plan. They knew this would happen. They don't care about Palestinians lives. Otherwise they won't attack Israel on October 7th.

ulaeto:
You've been since correct my brother, The thing is, the number of mad men on the thread is increasingly disturbing by the day including the much large in numbers passive ones whose duty is to laugh, respond and argue with the active ones.. The thread is gradually become a circus of mad men and women who are constantly engaging in psychodemic discussions, i dare say you and i are just victims of the situation. Nairaland needs more creative features on it's site

Most especially the block button. Some people comments I don't ever want to read again.
