Foreign AffairsRe: If America Abandons Israel, God Will Abandon America - US Senator Graham by linearity: 10:17am On Aug 15, 2025
Righteousness2:
The Reason GOD will judge and Deal with the Nations is due to the way they treat ISRAEL.

The Reason America is a Super power is because of its Relationship and Dealings with ISRAEL right from its founding fathers.

One of The Major Reason America will collapse will be because of ISRAEL. Definitely not Now with Trump as president.
I Believe a time will come when the US will turn on ISRAEL. The Biden/ Harris presidency was already doing that and the US was heading to a fall .

Trump Presidency is a Mercy period for ths US.
I Believe after Trump presidency, the US may get one Depraved biden/ Harris like kind of presidency that will lead to its fall.
You clearly are very ignorant of what you speak of.

The Nation Israel of today have turned their back on God right from when they rejected Jesus.

All the very things you criticized Biden/Harris administration of and labeled them anti-Christ because of are practiced in Israel and sanctioned by the Government of Israel and people of Israel.

Israel National laws allow gays and lesbians, gays and lesbians get married in Israel and serve in their military.

Israel is a big abortion proponent, Israel have a National abortion board to which anyone wanting an abortion would apply to and they have 98% approval rating.

Name any of the Ten Commandments given to Moses to be followed by Israelites, there is a National law or practice or culture in today’s Israel that have perfected the act of breaking that commandment and normalizing day to day life in Israel that goes against those commandments.

The Israel of today have hideous and ungodly practices that the Biden/Harris administration never even dreamed of.


Biblically America defending Israel is acting against God’s judgment or delaying God’s judgment on Israel for turning their back against Him. The Bible said Israel will be persecuted and punished for turning their backs against God.

Jesus stated that, no turn will be left unturned and Jerusalem would be destroyed culminating in the battle of Gog and Magog….the intense persecution and suffering will be want would make Israel to turn back towards God, ask for forgiveness and repent before God will come and defeat their enemies in the battle of Gog and Magog.

I don’t know if you are in sync with stats from the US recently. The US is a Nation in decline today, the Job reports, wholesale price index, inflation, economy, etc points to a Nation in rapid decline under Trump….may this is a punishment from God on the Trump administration for supporting Israel and delaying God’s judgment on Israel and eventual repentance of Israel and their return back to Him.

Thank you for conceding that, this your post is made-up or you, and/or your friend were deceived by this random person claiming to be a 'Tech Expert' who lives in Houston, TX and working for WhatsApp; not withstanding the fact that, WhatsApp have no single office in the whole of Texas.

No employee of WhatsApp or any reputable company in the USA will come and start disclosing to others about internal investigative matters taking place within the company about which the company has not made any public pronouncement.

Lastly, employees at Tech companies in the USA including those that work for WhatsApp are generally mandated to sign an NDA - aka Non Disclosure Agreement, which is a confidentiality agreement. Therefore none would be that stupid to put their career and means of livelihood in jeopardy by disclosing such matter (if it were to exist) to a third party more-so at a public place like a Restaurant as you have stated. Therefore your tales by moonlight never happened.

Okay.. Firstly I didn't say VDM hacked wahatsapp he said he paid someone for it to get the information who happens to be the hacker so I heard.
Also you can have your opinion on what I said. I won't come here for clout purpose.
Why dont we wait and see how it all plays out within the next few months to come and you and I can revisit this topic again.
Dose that works for you?
You stated that, this person told you that...."...VDM claims that he paid a hacker to hack whatsapp to get some hidden deleted messages..."

Since VDM never mentioned anything about hacking, I know that a reputable person claiming to be from WhatsApp would not level such charges against VDM and then proceed to be threatening an investigation and lawsuit over a none existing comment.

You definitely made all these up and you were deceived by someone claiming to be from WhatsApp. More Human Resource Manager or Department does not get involved in hacking investigations, their terms of reference is strictly about the Company employees or employees to-be.

WhatsApp does not even know about VDM here in Nigeria and they have never filed a defamation case against a single sole, not even in the USA despite the rampant rumors people carry about them in the USA....and they will not start it with someone in Nigeria who never stated what being alleged.

Plus WhatsApp's HQ is in California, and they do not any office in Texas where this 'Tech Expert' who 'works for WhatsApp' lives.

I am not waiting to see anything, because nothing will come out of this....this is a mere internet rumor that you have just started....and ironically, you are the one defaming WhatsApp by alleging in your post what they never said.
CrimeRe: If Anybody Knows VDM, Show Him This As This Is For Him by linearity: 9:52pm On Aug 03, 2025
Infotubia9ja:
So I was with a friend the other day we were having a get together dinner he is from China but he works in the IT department for the said whatsapp company he lives in Houston texas. as one of their tech experts and he knew I was nigerian and he started a discussion this topic was about VDM claims that he paid a hacker to hack whatsapp to get some hidden deleted messages for the sum of 20 million.
He just laughed and said VDM is falsely saying lies which are not fact that no such thing happened.

But he said this: he said the attention of this topic in particular has been brought up to the human resources manager and their IT department, and they are doing everything legally.
Now this is what he had to say.

When a person makes a public claim about hacking a platform like WhatsApp without proof, and the company decides to take legal action, in this case he said whatsapp will be carrying out legal charges soon and will be inviting VDM to court very soon he said, WhatsApp would likely pursue a civil lawsuit against the said VDM.
The specific legal actions would depend on the jurisdiction, but they would typically center on a few key areas as he said:

1. Defamation
The most immediate and likely legal claim would be for defamation. Defamation is a false statement of fact that harms a person's or, in this case, a company's reputation. WhatsApp could argue that the individual's false claim of a hack:

Damaged its reputation: A claim of a successful hack.

Caused financial harm: The company could allege that the false claim led to a loss of user base, a decline in its stock price, or increased costs associated with reassuring the public and partners about the platform's security.
To win a defamation lawsuit, WhatsApp would have to prove that the statement was false, was made publicly, and caused them actual harm. Since the individual made the claim "with no proof," it would be easier for WhatsApp to establish the falsity of the statement.

2. False Light
WhatsApp might also consider a "false light" claim, which is a type of invasion of privacy. While similar to defamation, this claim focuses on the emotional distress and embarrassment caused by a public portrayal that is highly offensive and misleading, even if not technically false. In this scenario, WhatsApp could argue that the individual's claim placed the company in a "false light" by making it appear as though its security was compromised when it was not.

3. Tortious Interference with Business Relations
If the false claim led to a loss of business (e.g., a business partner terminating a contract or a potential client choosing not to work with WhatsApp), the company could sue for tortious interference. This claim would allege that the individual's false statement intentionally and maliciously interfered with WhatsApp's economic relationships, causing them financial loss.
The Legal Process
If WhatsApp decides to sue, the legal process would likely involve:

Filing a complaint: WhatsApp's lawyers would file a civil complaint in court, outlining the claims and the damages they are
The case could be settled out of court, or it could proceed to trial. WhatsApp might be interested in a quick settlement that includes a public retraction from the individual and an agreement to not make similar claims in the future. If it goes to trial, a court would ultimately decide whether the individual is liable and what damages, if any, should be awarded.

He also said that if eventually, vdm is able to provide his hacker, with solid proof, then whatsapp will be giving that hacker a full time employment with many benefits
At this time, they are in talk with their lawyers and they will be reaching out to vdm soon.
So please if anybody knows VDM personally, tell him I said he sould start talking to his lawyer with his evidence because its about to be a whole new international showdown.
I will take it that you did not watch VDM video on this, he never stated that he paid someone to hack WhatsApp, he stated that he paid someone N20m for it.

I doubt your report, because a company as WhatsApps would never make such a move, when the offense they are alleging never occurred and there is no proof on the internet to support the conclusion that VDM said he paid someone to hack WhatsApp.

I first heard about the hacking from some people oppose to VDM mis-quoting what he said....google and watch that video yourself.
Foreign AffairsRe: US Is Accepting 'Gifts' Via Venmo, PayPal To Reduce $36.7 Trillion Debt by linearity: 4:16pm On Jul 28, 2025
lawani:
The US prints the dollar but the amount printed is low compared to the volume in circulation hence the US dollar has one of the lowest inflation of any currency. There is more dollar outside the US than in the US. The only problem in all of this is that the US has to pay interests on all these debts and even the interest is suffocating. The interest is suffocating is the problem. It costs the US 921 billion dollar per annum
Bros, you got it right!

but....the interests on US debts is only suffocating on paper.

The US borrows 'money' from her own Treasury aka US Federal Reserves to pay interest on her debts....which means, they acquire new debts in other to pay interests on existing debts....and the scam goes on and on.

Imagine borrowing money from yourself to pay interest on your debt obligation, is that not scam? If Nigeria and other Africa Countries have inherit Global Trust to do this, we will not be in arms about the rate of borrowing within Africa.

This is all a scam, paper money is a scam and have zero finite value like gold or precious metals.

This scam was perfected when the US pushed to abandon pegging floating currencies to gold reserves...the funny part is, Africa have these gold reserves and precious metal in abundance under our soil and that is real money with finite value.

fxexperts:
You really don't understand how money works. you are right about them owing the pension scheme, Federal Reserve, and others, they can also raise funds by selling government bonds and others. The truth is, all governments in this world are running a debt scheme. And secondly they cannot just print excess dollar without causing inflation, which in turn will cause the value of the dollar to reduce like we are experiencing with the naira currently. so this debt in question is a debt the US government is owing its own Federal Reserve, which is like its CBN.

You know nothing about money and how it works.

You are very wrong, maybe Trump is dumb and doesn't know how to raise funds from the government, maybe he is so bad an economist he doesn't know how to run a country's economy. Otherwise, he would have known how to generate money to run his government by selling bonds and other government treasury bills.
You got most of the narratives right, but you actually missed my major point about using printing a $1 trillion dollar coin to satisfy her debt obligations. I responded somewhat yesterday, but I want to break it down more....

Like you stated, unlike Africa Countries, the US does not go out and borrow cash and no one write them a check. The US sells bonds, treasury notes, etc to the public and these debt instruments are backed by the Full Faith and Credit of the United States of America. Which means, the US Government is telling the holders of these note, we will buy-back your note when matured and presented to us guaranteed, no questions asked period!

And the US have never failed to meet this obligations. The reality is, many people who hold these notes sell them to others to make profit or keep them until the US government call them up so they can be making profit on the interest.

Now in a worst case scenario that I believe will never happen unless there is a worldwide catastrophic, assuming every note holder goes to the US for them to buy-back their notes, the US will back her guarantee even if it means printing up to $1 trillion dollars to buy them back. We know that a scenario where everyone wants a buy-back will never happen unless there is a global melt-down.

Also, there are countries like China that would want to prevent that and would like to buy-back those dollars to prevent the resulting hyperinflation on the dollar. Hyperinflation on the dollars will make the yen and other Countries currencies to be too expensive, which will severely hurt exports from those countries.

Almost everything in the US in made in China, imagine a scenario where the dollar is hyper-weak and the Yen is now like 10 times more expensive than the dollar, the buying power of the dollar would become very weak, and this will force the Chinese Government to print and put out more Yen in circulation in other to weaken the power of the Yen....the Chinese Government has been doing this, hence the US Government call them Currency-Manipulators.

There are more facets to this situation, hence my conclusion is that all these US debts have only paper weight. Had the US currency backed by Gold, it would have been a different situation.

Also, yes printing more dollars will result in hyperinflation, do you know that in the US printing and holding US debt notes is more valuable than holding US dollars? So the US Government by increasing debt and avoiding to print dollars to pay for her obligations, are actually printing a more valuable currency call 'Treasury notes, bonds, etc', in essence the US Government is actually printing money because US notes, bonds, etc are more powerful than money or currencies. They have value on the street, you can exchange them for goods and services, you can trade them, etc.

If I have a lemonade stand and selling each cup for a $1; I will take a $1 US treasury note from a buyer over a $1 US currency.
Foreign AffairsRe: US Is Accepting 'Gifts' Via Venmo, PayPal To Reduce $36.7 Trillion Debt by linearity: 4:00am On Jul 28, 2025
fxexperts:
They owe this money to banks, the Federal Reserve, and foreign investors. They never borrowed the money from anyone unlike Nigeria which goes to other countries to borrow money from. They borrowed this money by selling government bonds and treasury bills to investors. Upon maturity of the government bonds, the investors will have to collect their money. Hence, the reason Trump is crying he doesn't know how to run a government, so he is finding it difficult to pay back.

You are damned wrong, I am sure it is people like you who advised Buhari and now look at the mess he has put us all in. Even if the US decides to print $1 trillion dollar bill or multiple paper bill, the value of the dollar wi go down, and inflation will rise which will in turn makes the dollar worthless against other currencies even the naira will move up against the dollar. it is just a simple law of supply and demand. when you have abundance of any currency even the dollar in circulation the value will eventually go down.
I use the printing of the $1 trillion dollar coin as an illustration on a macro level.

On a micro level, the US Government sells treasury notes to finance her debts. Anybody in the public and foreign governments buy these notes, I have some Federal Reserve notes in my safe.

The US government pay interest on these notes, owners can sell these notes to other buyers or return them to the government to cash-in.

The US Government backs these notes and would not deny to redeem them when a possessor presents them for cashing.

Let’s assume everyone with US treasury notes presents for cashing at the same time, even if they all amount to $1 trillion dollars, the US Government will honor the notes.

What is the probability of everyone presenting their notes to be cashed at the same time? It is zero, which means the US would never print that $1 trillion dollar coin.

Let’s assume a scenario present itself that makes every US note holder to present their notes, that would be a worldwide economic breakdown that would ripe across the globe with hyperinflation and the US Government honoring them by printing more money would not worsen the situation.

They borrow this money to buy weapons military weapons for Ukraine Israel and other countries to fight war and also send their military men to fight war and also go on peace mission in countries that are in civil unrest, war and battles, also borrow money for financial aid to poor countries and support WHO..world health organization financially on HIV/AIDS , malaria treatment to some countries within the world ..all this costs a lot of money in trillions of dollars
This is not true, one; most of US debts are owe to entitles internal to the US, secondly; the US Federal Reserve Bank can mint a single coin and stamp a face value of $1 Trillion on it and that would be it's worth and because her debts are owe in dollars, they can use that single coin to pay it off. No need to print countless worthless papers money, because the legitimacy of the currency and it's value comes from the Federal Reserve and has nothing to do with the volume of papers printed.

PythonPro001:
I need answers to these questions:
1. Who exactly is the US owing this humongous sum of money ?
2. When and why did the US, a supposedly wealthy nation, borrow this money ?
3. If it is so important to pay off the debt, why isn't printing new dollars an option ?
The truth is, the so-called US debt is only big on paper.

US debts are in US currencies, and the US Central Bank if they wish can print dollars tomorrow to settle those debts.

It is unlike Nigeria and other Africa countries debts, which are majorly held in US dollars and which Nigeria can't print but must earn.

Lastly 80% of US debts are owe to the Public, and two-third of this, which is about 53% of the overall debts is owe to US entities likes the US Federal Reserve, US Mutual Funds, US States & Local Governments, US Pension Funds, US Insurance Companies, etc...

Since the US dollar is not tied to gold Reserves, the Federal Reserve is capable of printing enough dollars to write off these debts but they would not, just to keep the scheme going on.

More importantly while do u even need to have such switch that cut off fuel can an aviation expert help to answer this question

A car those not have such switch


Nnmkig
The report clearly stated that, it was the co-pilot that is First Officer that was piloting the plane on this fateful day.

The Captain was the one acting as the 2nd Officer and it was the First Officer, the one actually piloting the plane that asked the Captain, the one acting as the 2nd Officer…’why he cut off the fuel switch’.


The usage of ‘WHY’ suggests that the first officer knew of a fact that the Captain cut off the fuel switch. He was certain who cut off the switch hence his question was framed directly accusing the Captain of the act.

Your analogy is correct, except this statement by you….from one of the pilots to the other:

“did you cut off the fuel?”

The pilot actually statement/question was..

Why did you cut of the fuel”

The Pilot was directly accusing the actual Pilot of deliberately cutting off the fuel switch.

So we know it was a deliberate, what is left for the investigators is to determine if it was intentional or a mistake.

I agree with your premises, but it is not as serious as you even put it.

You cannot be denaturalized simply because you are found guilty of certain crimes like antisemitism, extrajudicial killings, human trafficking, etc.

For them to count against you, you must have been found guilty of these crimes before your naturalization and you must have failed to disclose them in your application for naturalization.

After your naturalization, if you are found guilty of any of those crimes, you cannot be denaturalized on account of them, except if you bear arms against the US after your naturalization, which is where certain but not all act of terrorism after naturalization may count against you.

Nothing has changed in this policy, the memo is merely alarmist, the US government has been doing this for the longest time, the only difference now is that with the recent firing by Trump of nearly 200 immigration Judges and resignations of many Federal Prosecutors, the process is going to be slower.

I'm guessing most here are not aware.
That would be less effective and may allow the Area Council to sweep things under the rug.

My guess is that, the money has been disbursed from FTC and unknown to their Bosses in FTC or the federal Government, the Council Chairmen are pocketing the money. Otherwise, it does not make any sense for the payments to go through for two months and later stopped.

By taking the protest to the FTC and FG, they are essentially reporting these Area Council Chairmen to their Bosses and would in turn have to query them for non-compliance or investigate the possible diversion of the funds.

The smart thing to do is to patent it then go to tech companies and pitch.

But i'm sure its false advert though, electricity cannot be transmitted through air.
Yes, electricity can be transmitted through air and there are many brands of wireless power banks in the market today.

They use the principle of electromagnetic induction. The charger and the chargee must have induction coils in them, which means not every phone can be charged wirelessly but most latest phones in the market today come with these embedded induction coils therefore they can be charged wirelessly.


The charger passes electricity through its induction coils which then produces an electromagnetic force, which is then sent wirelessly to the induction coils of the chargee that comes in contact with it.

The chargee coils receives this electromagnetic force in it’s induction coil and converts it to Electricity to charge its internal batteries.


Kanji dam that produces electricity for Nigeria operates on the same principles, but instead of batteries producing the charges in the charger, it is water that pushes through the propellers to production the rotational movement within the magnetic field and coils to produce the electromagnetic induction force that is then transferred wirelessly to the receiver coil within that same magnetic field, the receiver coils converts this electromagnetic force into electrical power and send it to a transmission station for distribution and onward to your house.

I was surprised because no one told me she was coming. I greeted and welcomed her.

I later called my Wife aside and asked her why she did not inform me that her sister was coming to pay us a visit. That was when she broke the news to me that the girl was 3 months pregnant and had to leave the village because of shame.

My Wife begged me and even called the girl to come and kneel and beg me to allow her stay until she puts to bed.
I was very angry at my wife for that.

I would love to help the girl but the problem is

1) My Father-in-law is not aware that his Daughter is pregnant. Only my Wife and Mother-in-law knows.

2) My Mother-in-law has not called to plead with me to let the Girl stay under my roof. My Wife asked me to call their mother to confirm but I think it should be the other way around.

3) I am currently managing a one room apartment with my Wife and 7 children. The place might not be conducive for a first time pregnant Girl. Feeding her is not a problem.

4) I am afraid I would be the one to pay her Medical bills, antenatal and all. When I asked my Wife she said her mother would pay but I don’t believe this judging from personal experience.

5) What if the girl suffers miscarriage or complications? God forbid. I might be held responsible.

Please advise me on what to do. My creator sees my heart that I would love to help but I am afraid. Should I let her stay or send her away?
How do I do this without losing the respect of my Wife and Mother-in-law. What is the best way to help the Girl?
It appear you want to help but for the limited resources.

No matter what you do, you must call a family meeting involving the father and mother.

Do not be pushed into accepting her without her father knowing. They should also source the person that impregnated her.

Get a commitment from everyone monetary support.

In the South we operate the Criminal code and this code also backs our way of life and traditions in the South.

$1k per day easy

Assume bank interest rate of 4% which is the current rate in the money markets

Case of $5m: Compound 5m over 30 years at 4% interest is $16.22m

Case of $1k: Compound the first $365k over 29.5 years, the second $365k over 28.5 years and so on in an arithmetic progression and you land at $20.88m after the 30 years.

I use 29.5, 28.5, 27.5 etc to bring approximate linearity to the calculation as the interest on your $1k on 1st Jan is not the same as the interest accrued on 31st Dec, so use half years for the first year of investment

The only reason to accept the $5m upfront is if you can guarantee a return better than the bank by 0.9% (so 4.9% return) - and assuming you cannot also throw your $1k per day into the same 4.9% yield investment. Let's say there is an instrument with a minimum investment requirement of $5m

The Nigeria guy on the panel have a feeling of inferiority hence he could not defend but would rather single out his own Country on a subject that is a menace worldwide.

Secondly, his question has no value; he would still do his background checks regardless, it is not a good way to start a professional relationship.

My guess is, this must be some entry or mid level position, most season professionals would walk away if greeted with this type of opening servo on an interview.

He might as well asked him that, hope he is not one of those Yahoo Yahoo Nigeria boys or drug pushers since the news have that about Nigeria too.

The guy is a Kemi!

Another online article detailed the content of the video which buttressed the defense case where the General was asking communities to defend themselves in the face of the Nation’s insecurity and another from the Governor who first accused IPOB for the violence in the East but later in one of the video presented term the violence political.

People marry as late as 75, even 80 nowadays. No regret there. Birthing children is easy. Marriage is optional.
My comment was not ill conceived, I just pointed out a natural next step that we have witnessed very often in society.

Everything in life is optional, even to live, and to breath air are optional; I wish you the very best.

Marriage is always going to hold somebody back. We were raised to be independent. All of a sudden, we're forced to depend on another while trying to chase our dreams. Ko le werk. I will achieve my dreams first before giving this marriage thing a go.

Not most almost everything from electronics to food to pork, to packed foods etc.


I could walk you around USA stores and see all their shelves if not half empty.

The Chinese will sure be proud they made an impact wit this tarrifs wars. Next time USA want to brag, they will remember how the Chinese dealt with them.
Even common toothpick used in the USA, is primarily sourced from China.

The majority factory in Maine USA that use to produce toothpicks closed in 2003.

It cheaper to produce toothpicks now in China, I would doubt if the other major toothpick factory in Minnesota packed up soon.

The point is, not that USA cannot produce these things, the cost would just be too high and will lead to hyper inflation.

Foreign AffairsRe: Trump's Reciprocal Tariffs: EU Offers zero-for-zero Tariffs For Industrial Goods by linearity: 4:29pm On Apr 07, 2025
Xisnin:
I suppose EU just said this to fulfill all righteousness.

Trump may likely push back at first.
Apart from electric vehicles and weapons, US have no other advantage over the EU.
A zero tariff on industrial goods will mostly "benefit" the EU.

Waiting for the pro-tariff Trump-supporter to make a U-turn immediately dear leader
changes his mind and tell us that tariffs are no longer good.
Use do not have any electric vehicle advantage.

There is a reason the US have 100% tariffs on Chinese Electric vehicles, they don’t want to compete on a level playing field because they wiped out.


Weapons maybe but for how long?

If the whole of Europe are unified and have a single counter policy like the US, the US would blink.

Tinubu should impose Tariff on American goods as well but because Nigeria is a dumping ground, we decide to console ourselves with promises that will never see the light.

Nigerians should stop voting half baked uneducated leaders with questionable characters. That's only when we can look at trump in the eyes and say NO
Some of you are clueless in your comments.

Tariffs are simply taxes that the local Countries Government imposes on goods imported into the Country.

Nigeria Government already imposes about 80% tax aka tariffs on imported items from the USA, ask those who import cares from the USA into Nigeria how much total taxes and duties they pay to the Federal Government of Nigeria.

America just added 10% tariffs on items imported from Nigeria to the USA.

Since you are asking Tinubu to impose tariffs on USA goods, are you asking him to increase the already 80% paid to like 90% or 100% on imported goods?
