Kudos on your explicit reply. The new generation need to know the real truth, not their propaganda.

Politics / Re: Binance: Federal Government Replies US Lawmakers On Tigran Gambaryan by Laurene: 9:08am On Jun 22
Difrent:


Not Binance but the manipulators on Binance.
What value does the naira have that it will be the second most traded currency after the US Dollar on most crypto exchanges, nothing drives that except Speculation and it will be foolish to allow the greed of a few citizens affect the rest of us , so the government is doing very well with this case.
Those US lawmakers were lobbied by Binance , which is perfectly legal , but where their advocacy fall flat is Binance is facing similar charges in US and it's CEO was just sentenced after agreeing to pay a heavy fine..... If US can do that nothing will stop us, not even US Congress
You guys are pitching your messaging to "his boss was also held bla bla bla"... But you forgot the context of his offense is totally different.

Well, the “Dog Whistle” might be true.

However, when we take the foreign student population and break them into major races, Africans Students still have some chance. Of course we know that admissions to US colleges are typically skewed against African Students (Nigerians especially) and in favour of Asians and Europeans. So in this regard the “Dog Whistle” applies.

Personally, he won’t fool me with this. While I am conservative, I would have voted for some other Democrat over Trump. But definitely not Biden. We await the sentencing for his cases in court and see how these will affect his race. Personally with Joe Biden’s son battling with the courts and Biden mentioning his desire not to interfere, I feel they are cooking something for Trump and Biden will be like “don’t look at me! I didn’t even interfere in my own Son’s trial”!

Your thoughts if you have the time.

Besides... If the New York judge tries to send Trump to prison over this nonsense then the Supreme Court would have no choice but to intervene and stay it.

It is what is called a dog whistle, you are not supposed to hear the silent part. And the silent part is, if you aren't "white" you aren't wanted, illegal or legal.
You Nigerians are funny... You lack moral compass to be an arbiter.
You guys wouldn't accept other tribes.

BTW it's more of virtue-signalling than dog-whistle... It's very common in politics.
Politics / Re: An Igbo Hypeman Reckless Statement by Laurene: 8:55am On Jun 17
HydraFeeds:


Kemi becoming an MP in UK is no big deal cos the UK have ruled Nigeria as well .

If you can show me one Yoruba man or Hybrid person that won elective position in the east then I will condemn those that are preventing outsiders from holding elective position in the west . Not to forget that many elective position holders in the west are hybrids.

Every Nigerian has right to vote and reside anywhere in the country but not when it's one sided .

APC is not Yoruba and this post is not about APC but about Yoruba heritage ,if the Yorubas say they don't want to vote for an hybrid that doesn't think Yoruba then they have their rights and it's no one's business .

My response to the post you quoted is based on his support and chest beating behaviour of the commenter . Whatever ways you interpret that it's none of my business.
Just shut it please!
Your rebuttal is dumb and weak.

I just watched the videos and honestly it contradicts with the headlines and most people's opinion on the comments, the OBA was very respectful and reiterated support for the candidate, even said he has previous supported the candidate when he was in the NBA as a practitioner...the headlines is simply for clickbait
Not a clickbait but the work of a serial tribalist and jingoist.

Properties / Re: 'Yahoo Boys Are The Cause Of Rent Hike In Ikorodu, Bogije, Lakowe, Mowe' by Laurene: 9:30pm On May 25
Beverlyjean:


To be honest...due to the evil minded people, insensitive people that now see it as norm... I believe to get it right.... we need authoritarian riles and profiling ...just to weed the nation from those that now see these vices as norm as they are really growing in numbers
You need authoritarianism but you admire the west and would not reject a free visa?

We all know the rise to lots of these vices are as a result of bad policies from ignoramuses and incompetent personnels at the helm of affairs.

India used to have same level (even worst) level of crime until their government strengthened the economy and effected median working class policies that favoured masses and low income earners and reduced cyber crime by indigenes significantly.

Crackdown by hook or by crook (force) is shortlived and may affect innocent persons living just life.

When men in the police were harassing young boys in the name of curtailing yahoo, people like you cheered it as weeding the nuisance until innocent people began to get affected in their illegal maraudings and activities.

Be careful what you wish for... Your loved ones you think that are innocent might get caught in the rope.

Most of them know...they just choose to overlook because of the money....when this law is implemented....they will know ...u don't even have to worry ... that's when u will know how smart people can be when it involves their lives
No they won't just know! Unless one has obvious loopholes that give them away.
Criminals have devised means even far ahead of current tech to maneuver those security systems.

I hope you ain't advocating for authoritarian stereotypes and profiling that are used in dictatorships such as spying and wire-tapping or even launching direct affront on democratic freedoms in the guise of fighting fraud?

I'd love to hear how they're supposed to know those into fraud from your own opinion.

The nest way to stop yahoo is to seize houses rented to them by landlords or to shut down car shops of woners of car shops yhat sold them the cars.... when government makes it a law... u will see how yahoo will start to decline ..... any bank that fails to report their activities will be fined heavily and the transaction officer will be sent to jail
And how do these institutions know who's into fraud or not?

Foreign Affairs / Re: US Senator, Bernie Sanders, Backs ICC Arrest Warrants For Israeli Leaders. by Laurene: 7:02pm On May 24
cococandy:

Yet other capitalist nations have found a way to marry capitalism and social welfare so that the poorer citizens aren’t having as tough a time as the poor Americans are having in this end stage capitalist hellscape

Save it pls.
It's mostly European countries that are far liberal and progressive than America...No comparison.
Certain economic and social activities like LGBTQ, mass immigration and abortion has been legalized over there since the 90s before the USA.

America was built on strong capitalist ideas that favoured and gave power to the populace in decision-making and power broking...such ideas gave birth to individualism and independent institutions.
This is part the reason America is super power today.

Countries founded on freebies and giveaways give rise to laxity and non creativity/innovation... The end result is imminent collapse of economic and financial institutions.
Check history!

Radical? Is that what you call those other countries who are already implementing way more social welfare and benefits than he advocates for?

Of course his party don’t take him seriously because they’re money hungry hooligans only a few step below the despicable repugnant republicans.
The fundamental foundation and benefits of the republic which he's enjoying was built on capitalism and strong independent institutions...He's ideology wouldn't go right with the demographics that resides within the state.

If he was to go back to his roots (Israel) he'd get rejected with sheer speed.
There's a reason he can't win American presidency.

FreeStuffsNG:

Smh. You are giving an exaggerated opinion if you think it is the influence of Isreali or Isreali government.

Just by backing Isreal is already a liability on Biden's rating and may cost him the election. US has stopped shipment and now incapable of stopping ICC from getting Netanyahu and his Minister of Defence. Knowing politicians for who they are, they will sacrifice Netanyahu's political career than sink with him.
All at play is still permanent interests and not permanent friendship.

Russia is today, in utter disgust for humanity, pummeling Ukraine with a significant population of ethnic Isreali, even Blinken's father/ grandfather are Ukrainian migrants yet he and his father had held very high sensitive positions in the US government but still can't save their ancestral homeland from President Putin's war machinery. That's how things can change very fast so don't give an exaggerated importance to Isreali citizens in US politics.

The Russians, North Korea , Arab/Muslim world and Chinese are even more formidable to impact US elections than the Isreali but these guys will do so in clandestine manner. The election of Trump in 2016 was influenced by Russians not Isrealis o
Bunch of bullocks!
Russian interference in American election of 2016 has been debunked by even Washington Post and New York Times.

So the normal commonsense logical response of the killing of 1,000 Israelis is the killing of 30,000 Palestinian civilians (including women and children)?
