Elon Musk is a dumb tool! He is lucky his father is super-rich to bail him out whenever he messes up financially. Twitter he bought for 44 billion is not even worth 2 billion. And he is suppose to be some kind of genius. No be only genius, na guiness.
The genius about it all, is that he did not use his money. He used the bank’s money, and it is not real money, it is all loan money aka promise to pay money.

Money itself is a scam, if you count your money in cash at hand and cash in the bank, then you are still very very poor. You are rich when the bank trust you enough to loan some of their digital money aka promise to pay worthless money.

Funny chap! Did you expect them to write openly that they begged, if they did? Can you explain to us why bidden even after the notification still used the secret train route instead of flying directly into Kyiv?
They are very cautious, Putin was put on noticed and as such, he will not do anything. Ukraine is a war zone with many uncontrolled separatists fighting and shooting missiles, it will be unwise for the American President to fly a plane into a war zone.

Even Putin himself have reduced his use of his own Presidential Plane in Russia, he now uses armored Trains even within his own territory, google it and learn.

During the Iraq war, America Presidents who flew in to visit the troops don’t fly Air Force One into Baghdad and most times they show up in the middle of night in clandestine mode.

The fact that one is powerful does not mean they should expose themselves to unnecessary risk. Even as the war goes on between Russia & Ukraine, there is a hotline between Russia & the USA and despite what you read on the faces of paper, they both still have strong behind the scenes diplomatic & ties channels through which they communicate and cooperate with each other.

Around the same time Biden was visiting Ukraine, Russia tested a failed intercontinental missile call SARMAT missile aka SATAN II, and they notified sorry begged the USA before launching the test.

If they want to, they would have done so long time again.

It is also counterproductive to take it to then bank, remember that before the Naira redesign, CBN passed a policy limiting the amount of money one can withdraw.

So, if they had taken the money to the bank; they would have exposed themselves and linked such huge cash to their persons, thereby opening themselves up to be invited by EFCC; secondly they need the cash to prosecute the Election, of what use will it be to a Politician who have stockpiled e.g. N200m old currency for the election to take same to the bank only to be given N50k in new currency, which wouldn’t be enough for feeding self.

These not withstanding, I know lot of Politicians have gotten hold of the new currencies through corruption bank officials and are on standby to put it to use during the elections.

Peoole don't study their religions otherwise all Muslims and Christians would know that God often doesn't punish on earth in this life, and that God doesn't listen the vast majority of prayers because people who do his will, who obey his commandments, and treat others fairly like themselves, who live by the instructions of the Holy Spirit and refrain from all works of the flesh, these people are very very rare and then they must consult God and pray accordingly and be very persistent everyday until the matter is answered even if it must take years or decades of daily petitions for the same topic. Now tell me how many people are like that and how many of them pray like that and you will understand why prayer doesn't seem to change the world.
It didn’t take God donkey years to answer Elisha’s prayers to eliminate the Prophets of Baal.

Nigerian Politicians are worse than Prophets of Baal and I am 100% confident that, there is at least one Nigerian living today who is very a devoted Christian or Muslim and lives a Holy and righteous live, why are their prayers not been answered?

From the Bible, most times it only take a single Moses or Elijah or Elisha or Joshua to answer His people’s cry? Why is it not so today?

In those days, when Jesus or His disciples perform miracles, signs and wonders, it is alway clear cut with absolutely no doubt that, it was God that did it, but during COVID, many Christians and Pastors even some fervent were killed, Churches and Houses of worship shutdown across the globe until the Scientists brought the cure.

My theory truly is, God have left man to his own devices and our prayers are of no effect or that the dispensation of Grace is over…Jesus has come and have taken His chosen ones away, maybe some couple of hundred years ago and we here to work our salvation through pains and suffering, yes we are the tribulation Christians with no Grace and no answer to prayers from God.

Ukro source:

The entire campaign to keep Bakhmut was built around one thing - Biden's speech, who is due to announce a new package of military assistance to Ukraine today. The White House cannot enter the presidential race in the United States with an open phase of the conflict, which means it will try to turn the tide in the spring and summer in order to reach an intermediate result in the fall. Bankovaya is well aware of this and is now trying to knock out fighters and long-range missiles in order to launch a counterattack on the Crimea.

Yes... thousands of Ukrainians must die just to prepare even more Ukrainians to die💥🌐💥
The above bold portion of your comment is incorrect.

The United States has been in open conflicts around the world from time immemorial. These wars and conflicts justify the huge US defense budget year in and year out.

In fact, there is a sizeable portion of Americans who believe that, an open conflict in America favors the sitting President during re-election especially when American soldiers are not directly involved which is the case of Russia vs. Ukraine.

There is solidarity around Country and their President during external conflicts like these. There is inflation in America at the moment, though not comparable to that in Nigeria, during economic downturns like these, politician are very clear to project something else in the National 'talking points' during Election so that citizens would not focus more on the biting economy, war and conflict out is one of those usual scapegoats they employed.

I am not in any way suggesting what Biden intentions are or are not........both of us have zero clue. But, we all know that Putin miscalculated and he is trying to re-calibrate, he has lost a lot of time, and only time will tell if his re-calibration efforts will yield his desired objectives. Common sense will tell us that, when a fight is becoming too long, longer than expected or anticipated, it is a sign on weakness on the part of the perceived Strongman and sign of strength on the on part of the perceived weaker man.

REALretep:
Your submission holds true when the executive arm of government has regard for the rule of law.
In this case where the executive has no regard for the rule of law or only enforces court decisions when convenient, then your submission is false.

Buhari has repeatedly shown absolutely no regard for the rule of law. He only obeys court decisions when they serve his purpose.
Therefore, in his administration, presidential executive orders reigns supreme above judicial or even legislative pronouncements
I can see what you are seeing, and you are not off the mark.

However, you should understand that, since we are using Nigeria as a special case here, the Presidency aka Executive Branch is not the only at fault here.

All three Branches of Government are corrupt, the Courts are no longer the ‘last hope’ of the common man. It appear ‘justice’ goes to the highest bidder today and this have led to the general distrust of the System of Justice in Nigeria.

If there is distrust for the Judiciary, such distrusts are extended to their rulings and orders as well.

What gives weight, deference and reference to a Court Order is not merely because the Order came from the Court, it is because the citizens agreed to give force to that Order, the citizens gives power to Court Order, they enforce it and ensure it is carried out. But, if those same citizens distrust the Courts as Court of Justice, their Orders are worthless and meaningless.

I have never seen a Judge walking on the streets to enforce their Orders, they rely on the same society and citizens who now distrust them to do that.

It is possible that, the Executive Branch is having the same distrust towards these Court Orders just like the society and citizens, hence the lack of zeal to abide by them. Yes, this is absolutely wrong and should not be the case, but in a lawless society anything goes.

Same goes to the Legislative Branch & Politicians in Nigeria, they are all self centered thieves seeking the next novel way to siphon the Government and steal from the people.
PoliticsRe: “Supreme Court Order” Versus “Presidential Address”: Which One Supersedes? by linearity:
AfricanColumbus:
Nothing supercedes a presidential executive order. It can only be revoked by the president himself if it is deemed to be grossly unconstitutional.

Presidential executive orders are final.


For the number 3 question, the executive and judiciary are equal, but the head of the executive (president) supercedes all in the land.
I guess you are joking?

Presidential Executive Orders (EO) are usually Administrative policy blueprints about how the Executive Branch intend to run a particular parastatal or ministry.

They do not create new laws, they don’t contradict existing laws and they don’t contradict the Supreme Court.

E.g. The Presidency can issue an EO that states CBN will not collect old Naira notes again. That EO is only valid as long as there is no Supreme Court or law saying otherwise.

On the Surface, Supreme Court are seen to be the most powerful, but they are not, they merely interpret the constitution and existing laws. The Legislative Branch can pass a new bill or constitutional amendment that invalidates a Supreme Court Order and if the bill is signed into law, it supersedes the the Supreme Court order.

They can also do that to a Presidential EO, but since the President will be needed to sign the bill into law and would not normally sign a bill that challenges their EO into law, the Legislative Branch would need enough vote to overcome the President’s veto.

Later she called me to tell me that she will like to come to Lagos when I heard that I told her if you want to come to Lagos you should come when my wife is around. She recorded some path of the conversation then went further to show it to my woman elder sister and also sent it to my fiancee in other to stop the marriage. For over 4 months I have been begging my fiancee to forgive me that I don't have anything to do with the lady and am sorry when I sent the money I suppose to tell her but I didn't cos I forgot and I didn't take it as something serious that's why I never bothered myself to inform you but am sorry.she still doesn't want to forgive me so that we can reconcile.
Friend what should I do pls no insult pls
Pls friend
Bros you are making a huge mistake and setting an unprecedented precedent in your marriage that you will never live up to.

Agreed, you didn’t carry her along, apologize for that and promise her that you wouldn’t do it again.

But, you should never beg anyone to marry you. Each person must make the decision to marry individually. Marriage is not a walk in the park, if you beg her to marry you today, you are setting yourself up for Failure and you will continue to beg her for eternity.

Remember that, we are humans and this will not be your last ‘Bleep up’, when the next happen you will beg her for another 4 months?

Please, let her be. Give her some space, if she is for you, she will come to her senses and look for you. More so, if what you stated here is accurate, her own friend deliberately did this to ensure you don’t get married to each other and by canceling the wedding, she is playing right into the script of her friend who under normal circumstances is an enemy at this point.

The other scenario is that, she does not want the wedding anymore and she is not bold enough to tell you straight up, she therefore connived with her friend to cook up this elaborate plot just to get a ‘reason’ to cancel the wedding.

The typical Nigeria girl that I know, will do everything to tie that knot with you, especially when one of their friends turned rogue and want to play the spoiler. Even many Nigeria women no longer break their homes simply on account of their husbands cheating, because they know that women and their very own friend from day one set traps for their husbands to cheat, so the home will break up and they can come in.

In summary, she does not have a hand in this, she will come back, but if she have a hand in it, good riddance to bad rubbish.

I will be firmer with him not disturbing me because he can't even dare communicate with any of his mother's siblings because he really made them look foolish when he was behaving as if his father was the wronged party and he is no longer welcomed in my uncle's home (his grandparents home) because it was to my uncle's hearing in one of the times he said he would change his surname, so they no longer feel comfortable having him around them though he has tried to apologize.
I support your cousin's decision, and as you stated don't pressure her further.

However, if the father refuses to train the boy, your cousin should not abandon him. Let her train him even to University while he is in Nigeria.

It is very likely that, after finishing University in Nigeria, his brain would have properly reset....after this point, your cousin might start considering plans to relocate him.

I very much doubt the donor would have acted altruistically. Probably upon discovering he wasn't an ideal match, they probably left him empty handed. Leaving the UK empty handed for the poverty stricken Nigeria might have been too much for the donor and hence the present imbroglio.

I feel if Ekweremadu had settled the donor well after the disappointing medicals, the story today might be different.
They are caught between the rock and a hard place here.

Even if the the donor was not altruistic, they must assert that he was, because under the law all live organ donors must be altruistic otherwise the donation is illegal and they can not open their case by agreeing to an illegal act.

The problem with invoking that, someone acted altruistic is that, the person has to agree with you. In this case, the person that would have defended them is in the opposition. and since the guy is been treated as a victim, the law covers and immune him from prosecution even if he admitted to being part of the illegal act to accept money and favor in exchange for one of his kidneys.

And if the guy starts that, he was in it for the money, that throws their 'altruistic' defense out of the window unless they can then proof that, he was once acting unselfish with no desire for financial gains or return favors and he is now lying....which will be a tough one.

The line that...."Nigerian looks after each other" is a big lie and the defense will eat them raw on that, I wish I can tell that to my POS agent who is charging me 30% to exchange Naira for Naira.

3. The same God that said marriage was good in the beginning cursed marriage after man fell in Genesis 3 vs 16. Stop picking and choosing what parts of the narrative you will accommodate and what parts you will not. The passages I quoted do not contradict. Instead they continue on from what God declared in the beginning. undecided

4. Even your purpose for fasting differs from that intended by God - Isaiah 58 & Zechariah 7 - meaning you confuse serving yourself with serving God. I suggest you step out of yourself in this - die to self - in order that you may begin now walking towards Jesus Christ. Alternatively, if you are not born-again, it is OK to not even bother with God at all and embrace the world fully instead. undecided
You are the selecting Bible passages that suits your narratives:

1. God did not curse marriage in Gen 3:16. He cursed the Serpent, Eve & Adam for disobeying his commandments. And the curse are in Gen 3:14-19, you conveniently omitted those verses. Plus, the curses laid out there happens to every man and irrespective of marriage, even eunuchs called of God or given birth to as eunuchs would share from these curses.

2. The passage in Matt 19 about eunuch specifically stated some were made eunuch,
some were born as eunuch, etc ….no where did it say All, so stop generalizing it…God did not give all men the same gifts and abilities, not everyone of God’s children will be a Pastor, Prophet, etc.

3. Isaiah 58 & Zach. 7 was talking to sinners who are still engaging in Fasting. It did not define any manner or mode of fasting. If you are a sinner, there is no point fasting as it is worthless and of no use.

I also supported her so much with my money by helping her to pay her application fee and TOEFL exam.

While doing all these, we had a conversation and she told me that if she is able to get a fully funded offer that we will be going together and I will be going with her as dependent. Now my girlfriend has gotten admission but she is yet to apply for visa and she has changed plans. She does not want me to go with her rather she is advising that I should also use the study route ifi want to travel.

Note : we had the intentions of getting married but right now she doesn't want us to get marry.

There is absolutely no case here and the court will throw away this case within weeks. All these talk of controlling the young man and claiming he doesn't know his age is where the prosecutors have problem. The doctors in Nigeria that assessed him before he went to U.K are going to debunk the lies that he didn't fully know why he went to U.K.

On issue of money for organ donor, the law is fluid in that regard. It is like the law around surrogate mothers, it is illegal to pay them, but it is recognised that you have to support them financially. So there is a thin line between payment and financially support.

Why are they charging them with human trafficking and exploitation, which is another none specific charge? I think it is because they are trying to see which of their week claims will stick.
You are misrepresenting the facts here and must be doing it deliberately as you sound eloquent and may know the accurate representations of these facts or have access to them.

1. These is no law against rewarding surrogate mothers. Only that, UK courts cannot enforce surrogate contracts or agreements to either make the surrogate mother give up the baby after birth or the intended mother to pay certain rewards. The UK law also forbids third parties from helping the surrogate mom or intending mom to craft such agreement or contract.

Outside of the above, the surrogate mom and intending mom can enter into any agreement they which to including rewards but the court will not help them enforce it.

However if there are issues, family courts in UK would intervene and decide the case without regards to any agreement or monies paid and they can award cost against the intending mom for the benefit of the surrogate mom.

2. The The United Kingdom’s Modern Slavery Act 2015 under which they were charged does not specify age and the prosecution does not need to proof age, so it does not matter if the guy is 90 or 13 years, all that is required is that, he is a human being and alive when it happened.

3. Money for organ donor is not ‘fluid’ as you put it, the law is against it period!

4. By falsifying records and stating that, the donor is a relative, they bypassed the independent assessment of HTA - Human Tissue Authority, which is mandated to interview non relative donations to ensure that, no coercion was done, no rewards were promised and they will go over the risks with the donor and donors have a right to opt out.

How can your sex in marriage be spiritual if Jesus Christ informed you that your marriages are of this world and not of the Kingdom of God - Luke 20 vs 34 - 36, which conforms with what God did in Genesis 3 vs 16 when He cursed marriage and all that pertains to it making it of this world? Why do you need to live your lives according to these delusions/lies that have nothing to do with God? undecided

2. Remove the boulder from your eyes too so you can be able to see to remove the speck in the eyes of others. You literally claimed marriage sex is spiritual when God instead said it is all of this world and not of His Kingdom. lipsrsealed

Even your starvation-diet fasting rituals have nothing to do with God who said you cannot honor Him by torturing your body — either by starving it of food or sex - Isaiah 58 vs 5 - 14. undecided
Bros, if you look at it from that angel, then everything we do on earth as humans is of this world….

Even fasting, praying, sleeping, eating, going to church on Sunday, etc are all of this world, we wouldn’t be doing all that in heaven, angels don’t do that, just like they don’t marry.

God said, ‘It is not good for a man to live alone, let me therefore create a helpmate for him.’ That is the genesis of marriage.

If God said marriage is good, do not cast it as not-good as you are directly in opposition to God’s spoken words.

And none of the passages you quoted contradicted want God said in Genesis.

Yes there is wrong way to fast and wrong way to pray. The purpose of fasting is not to honor God, rather it is to exact control over oneself, so we can be focused and disciplined while praying to God.

God will not answer your prayers simply because you added fasting to the menu….see fasting as a means to an end and not an end in itself.

We are not talking about her father,
We are talking about an innocent 25 year old girl here, get that right.
Anyways, whatever you wish for the young girl comes back to you in multiple folds.
What goes around , comes around.
We Rise.
I understand she is sick and I pray she get healed.

But, how is she innocent? She was part of the whole game to exploit this poor guy, yes the guy was part it for the money too but later developed cool feet.

None of them are innocent but his involvement is protected by the law. The law was purposely created to protect the guy and any donor in his shoes in the future.

This law have same protection as statutory rape laws. Your defense can’t be, the under age girl wanted it, or enticed me into or enjoyed it, even if all that were true, you are still guilty.

Here the law is against rewarding organ donors and more restrictions are placed on organ donations from non-family members. So they all connived to create a non-existing family relationship and sold it unanimously to the authorities as such and also set aside certain rewards for the guy, which are all against the law.

If they had told the authorities that, the donor is not a family member and that he will be rewarded for his donation, their request would had been denied as it flys in the face of the law.

He sells the materials. There was no prior agreement of sorts ..just that naturally it's expected that I buy from him since he sells it.

But the honest truth is that I got a hold of his supplier and even other suppliers too.. the difference is just too much to ignore.

grin @ bolded
I get that, but should I be cheated by my own bro?
Why not be open with with, show him the quote you got from the other suppliers and you should not compare his quote with that of his supplier.

You got the job through him and got it merely because you are his brother and plus you have the skills. If you sideline him, next time I doubt if he will be contacting you.
