Him and those that donated money to him typifies the spirit of the typical Nigerian. Miscalanous deviants active in Nigeria, and Deviants active in other world sphares and often maliciously attributed to Nigeria by ugly human types, does not personify Nigerians. |
blaquebelle:Thought provoking point, actually. |
For Nigeria, Disorganisation is root cause of underdevelopment. |
socialmediaman:Unfortunately or fortunately, yes. There is no higher power trustable with objectivity able to determine to the satisfaction of all. |
socialmediaman:Opposition also does same. Opposition is not defined as patriotism. Opposition always define opposition as thieves, incompetent, corrupt , criminals etc. When You become leader of Nigeria, opposition will define you as criminal, corrupt, incompetent and thieving regardless of what you do, this is a problem with politics. There is not one nation on earth, where Opposition doses not define the ruling power in terms of corruption, incompetency, thievery and worst. Patriotism is more accurately Support rather than Opposition. |
kingmsookwagh:Just out of curiosity, how would military boots serve them better ? |
Business Cardano Reaches Goal of Planting 1M Trees The Cardano Foundation is spearheading land restoration and local ecosystem development activities using the Cardano blockchain. A restoration effort using the Cardano blockchain reached its first goal of planting over 1 million trees, the Cardano Foundation, a non-profit that oversees developments on the Cardano network, said over the weekend. “The Cardano Forest is 100% funded, we’ve reached the 1 million trees milestone. All trees planted will be recorded on the Cardano blockchain for enhanced transparency and serve as public proof of land restoration activities,” Cardano Foundation CEO Frederik Gregaard said in a tweet thread. The foundation has partnered with crypto startup Veritree for the planting effort. Veritree uses blockchain technology to record the supply chain of tree plantations for its users, allowing for a verifiable tracking of such activities. Veritree plants a tree each time Cardano’s ADA currency is exchanged for a TREE token. TREE, in turn, can be redeemed for digital trees and non-fungible tokens (NFT) during certain “redemption days,” with the rarity of the issued NFTs based on the initial amount of ADA exchanged. NFTs are digital assets that can represent ownership of unique tangible and intangible items on a blockchain. Transactional data shows large amounts of ADA were bestowed towards the effort. One wallet exchanged 100,000 ADA for 100,000 TREE tokens – worth over $118,000 at the time of writing – to become the biggest donor for the cause. Other large donors exchanged amounts ranging from 5,000 ADA (≈$5,900 at press time) to 87,500 ADA (≈$103,900 at press time). Why plant trees? The Cardano Forest activity is part of a broader effort by Cardano to become a climate-positive blockchain. Blockchain technology has been the subject of massive criticism in recent years about the blockchain’s environmental impact. Blockchains run on a global network of users or organizations that use their computing resources – by either staking crypto or running mining rigs – to validate data and process transactions on that network. Mining, in particular, consists of specialized computing systems that solve millions of calculations each second to “win” blocks, using huge amounts of electricity to keep running. Such usage of computing resources is deemed unnecessary by critics, who say the large electricity requirements damage the environment. Newer blockchains like Cosmos, Terra and Cardano run on a proof-of-stake concept that relies on network “stakers” who lock up their tokens on public nodes to maintain the blockchain. This is said to be more environmentally friendly than mining. Planting trees is a step in an environmentally friendly direction. The ethos is simple: The creation of more trees can, in theory, offset the damage done by human activity in other parts of the world. Cardano Foundation and Veritree did not return requests for comment at press time. |
Tejumola856:Nigeria is you, your friends, your family, your community people, state people and Country people. Nigeria isn't some vague abstract concept. The land does not bite, kill or impoverishes you. The land is the land and you may call it whatever you wish, the land remains the land. It makes more sense to say you hate Nigerians ( the people) not Nigeria the land although some insufferable pendantic persons may justifiably labour the point by including infrastructure, superstructure and such as collectively Nigeria.. |
The Troll House's Nigeria De-marketing Department does a good job of making Nigerians seem stupid in the eyes of the world. A man returns from Europe and dies in Nigeria at once it's because Nigeria is hellhole. A nation of over 200 million people that has huge numbers living abroad, huge numbers returning, huge numbers frequently traveling between the West, Asia, Middle East, Oceana, South America and Nigeria. Quite apart from wondering why anyone would post news of a total strangers death on Niaraland, whether the story is true , individuals die on returning to Nigeria and this makes Nigeria hellhole! You don't wonder how many Nigerians die on returning to the West and elsewhere; you're not curious or enthused by just what opportunitity arises in the form of statistics researching traveler deaths etc. ![]() |
Nksleek:ln short , if not fake or misappropriated news, he was reasonably unlawfully killed by reasonably stupid, primitive and envious individuals for reasons of their own which when declared and reported, as the article does, amounts to twaddle. |
El Salvador to Move Forward With Issuing Bitcoin Bonds: Finance Minister The government will send around 20 bills to Congress to get started with the issuance of Bitcoin bonds. In brief: El Salvador last month announced it would issue Bitcoin-backed bonds. The country’s finance minister today said it was moving ahead with the legislation to do so. El Salvador is getting closer to issuing its Bitcoin bonds. Today, the country's finance minister said the government would send Congress around 20 bills to get started with the process. President Nayib Bukele then confirmed it via Twitter. El Salvador's minister of finance, Alejandro Zelaya, said in a Tuesday interview with local media that the bills would "provide legal structure and legal certainty to everyone who buys the Bitcoin bond." The idea is that $1 billion in bonds will be issued this year, with half converted to Bitcoin and the other half used for infrastructure and Bitcoin mining. The government hopes that the issuance will help build a Bitcoin City—a tax-free enclave for Bitcoin advocates in the east of the country powered by geothermal energy from nearby volcanoes. "We are the first country to release a Bitcoin bond. And because we are the first country to do this, it needs to be regulated," said Zelaya, adding that the government was drafting the appropriate legislation for the bonds to be released. El Salvador last year became the first country in the world to make Bitcoin legal tender. Businesses now have to accept it if they have the technological means (though many still don't.) The move has been praised by the Bitcoin community but criticized by the World Bank, the IMF, and global credit rating agencies. Citizens have also organized to protest against El Salvador's Bitcoin Law on several occasions. The country's Bitcoin-loving president is constantly announcing crypto-related projects and the Bitcoin bonds and Bitcoin City is one of the latest. El Salvador's Bitcoin bonds will be issued by Blockstream, a Bitcoin infrastructure company that has been helping the Lightning Network (a second-layer solution to help make Bitcoin transactions faster and cheaper) expand in the country. The tiny Central American country wouldn't at first sight appear to be the most attractive place for foreign investment: its bonds were the world's worst performing last year, according to Bloomberg. Will bonds backed by cryptocurrency do better? |
just extrapolating from the picture and some aspect of the report, a few of my first thoughts are that, Wow, for the man to die even before dropping to the ground, judging by his presumably cracked scull, Meth OD must kill quicker than Hollywood movie cyanide . If he hadn't died immediately, he'd have braced himself,falling backward, and wouldn't have cracked his scull. Then I wondered if Meth OD'ing causes violent convulsions that, in turn, may have resulted in him injuring his head. And then i thought that Perhaps Meth OD causes internal hemorrhaging. l carried on like this without ever considering weather he was the victim of South Africa police brutality.In fact, If it had been stated that he was farted, at velocity, out the very fat rear of a hottentot and died as a result of blunt force trauma, we'd all believe, since us Nigerians are in the business of believing without questions all we are told. |

barojana:Same way Nigeria's population is swelled by West Africa and Central Africa immigration, is same way these Deviant groups are replenished. If Nigeria does not want to invest in border control infrastructure, and the type of sophisticated military strategies adopted by Western militaries is beyond us, Nigeria could just adopt the caveman mindset to eliminate all commers. You're Nigerian or foreign, and you're on Nigeria soil engaging in terror acts, you die. We make Nigeria thire Dying Fields, simple. Let's not set our sights on winning but on slugtering. Like this, one day, military will be surprised and disappointed that they're no longer coming to die. |
horlabiyi:Authorities used to withhold information ,and still do, but then the people cried, "why do you (authorities) hide what is going on and what you are doing against the "Deviant" groups?". Now people are crying, "why tell us what you (authorities) are doing, don't you realise that the Deviants will be forewarned, or is this your intention?" |
Vitalik ( Ethereum founder) " communities formed around a rebellion, even if they have a good cause, often have a hard time long term because they value bravery over competence and are united around resistance rather than a coherent way forward." |
Pentagon007:Omg, get a grip! It's this sort of crass attitude that has some Nigerians groveling in foreign African countries. After bitterly abusing thire country Nigeria, shame no go gree them acknowledge regret when they receive abuse in those places instead they resort to beging for African Unity while the rest of Nigeria forgivingly fight for them. |
wirinet:You may be surprised to learn that many disappear yearly in America attributed to Organ Trade. I know that I was shaken by this. But I'm only inferring from a documentary on US serial killers that I watched and in that documentary, indirect references to human organ trading was made. The casual way the Documentary narrator dismissed some missing persons, discarded limbs or bodies occasionally found while investigators tracked down the relevant serial killers, as not the work of the serial killers but organ traders, made me conclude as I did. As for baby factories, the US alternative was Abortion Factories (later reformed and institutionalised, becoming part of the health system) . Kidnapping may not be common now in America but raping and pedophilia is, even in California. |
Majority of Nigeria female images on Niaraland depict bloated women. Nigerians are generally skinny boned; fat does not sit well on us. But media has over several decades brainwashed Nigerians into demonising our natural stature in favour of African American stature - Big Butt implanting, reportedly popular among Nigeria womanhood of a certain class or with financial means, is an extension of this. The natural Nigeria female archtype is similar to that of A J Odudu who participated in the UK Show Strictly Come Dancing and not that of Beyonce or Bollywood babes. |

The Rockefeller foundation is responsible for laying the IT groundwork in India that has resulted in the Indians now prominent in silicon valley, heading huge conglomerates and institutions from Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter to Visa and block-chain ecosystems like Cosmos, Polygon, Osmosis and others. Since Nigeria isn't going to be helped by any foreign benefactor like The Rockefeller foundation ( even when Bill Gates showed interest in Nigeria the Brits managed to guide him towards India) why don't wealthy Nigerians invest in programs like Coding Institutes for poorer Nigerians? |
I would love to ask how it came to be that Nigerians, generally, and leaderships, crucially, are uber unaware of global maneuverings but i unfortunately know why. My parents also filled my head with pan-Africa naivety and primary socialization at school reinforced it. The politest thing i can say for Mr Akufo-Addo is that he may be good for Ghana; he ultimately isn't good for Africa and certainly not good for Nigeria. He's Nigeria's enemy. |
I had an extraordinarily vivid dream in November - so realistic was it that I have since wondered whether i had in fact experienced one of those near death episodes. I did wake up fighting for breath as well as feeling cold but loved and privileged; however, i now err on the side of dream since the figure i met, who was siting at the foot of the single tree in a vast swaying grass lawn, was same Commercial Christ that is a depiction of controversies . He was with his back against the tree, toying with a long plant stem when i appeared out of nowhere. We discussed much, but I'll cut to what he told me in relation to fate ( is fate the right term? (i don't know)). ln any case, he said that a person's true worth to God lies in the effort or actual positive difference they made to the lives of other living things around them . He then showed me the Earth from the perspective of space. The Earth was spotted all over representing individual human beings. Tiny rings appeared around each tiny spot, these rings represented each individual's sphere of influence in the world. These rings varied in size relative to individuals contribution to the well-being of others. Amazingly, although the planet he showed me was festooned with billions of spots surrounded by rings none overlapped. Reading my mind, he showed me what the world will resemble when all the rings overlapped. These rings, of all sizes, then spread,overlapped and the earth became faceted and shone like the brightest diamond, radiating perfect happiness. |
