adamsmith914:Did it ever occur to you that just maybe the reason that some of these so-called pro Biafrans sometimes make outlandish statements that make little sense or seem extraordinarily stupid is because they are not actually Nigerians? |
Come -o but does anything ever happen around the world with which some of you compare Nigeria without finding Nigeria wanting? ![]() |
BeardedMeat:Oga, seems you've already concluded without evidence that a bomb was left behind after last incident and that if this explosion was indeed a bomb it wasn't newly planted ; but, more importantly, Bomb Experts essentially diffuse bombs, inspect, repair, store and destroy everything from rifle ammunition to guided weapons, they're not to my knowledge explosives detectives. They may work combing mine fields etc. Incidentally, bombs go off all the time around the world, either from terrorism or old war munitions. Policing isn't working in Nigeria and can be reformed. |
Niece:This looks like lies but I'm not surprised since much that is in the international domain attributed negatively to Nigeria had nothing to do with Nigeria in the first place but often happened in some other African country. Here's the original story taken from the BBC and twisted no doubt to look as if it happened in Nigeria or the story that gave someone the idea to make up one about Nigeria. The Liberian teenage motorcycle taxi driver who found and returned money to a prominent businesswoman now says he is being mocked and threatened by those opposed to his actions.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-africa-47639452?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbc_live&ns_linkname=6169119d9ceecf0ab2ddba3a%26Honest%20taxi%20driver%20mocked%20for%20returning%20cash%262021-10-15T09%3A20%3A57.180Z&ns_fee=0&pinned_post_locator=urn:asset:f644007c-9d93-4629-9a7b-2217a2108ef9&pinned_post_asset_id=6169119d9ceecf0ab2ddba3a&pinned_post_type=share |
Someone was telling me of a vid they watched of Teni shouting and telling off a Nigerian police officer. The person telling me about the video stated that they disliked Teni from that moment on. Like I've pointed out several times on Nairaland, this individual stated that they don't know of any nation save perhaps UK in which civilians could get away with acting like that towards a police officer. They stated that in their country, police would arrest Teni and she wouldn't be heard from again. They became defensive when i asked if they were proud that their police force would act in that manner. In any case, i understood what they were trying to convey about Teni's unacceptable behavior. |
omoharry:and not obtaining value for money from these thieving and exploitative foreign contractors. Google Chinese airports images, I'm certain not all are more expensive than some of the airports they are paid, in our debt, to design and construct for the relevant client in Nigeria. It's as if design brief inculcates the notion that design must be in line with what is expected of Africa or must maintain a third world flavor or ascent. |
Where and how could anyone or gang keep this man captive for ten years in Nigeria without drawing suspicion? And how determined where his captors - ten years is no joke-o! Ten years is a lifetime! i struggle to keep at anything for six months let alone 1 year. If i was a religious person and naive, I'd say his captives wouldn't ordinarily have capacity and that this was an act of god to test his fate or something. |
TarOrfeeek:Bet you'd be congratulatory if this had been a story from Europe, America or Asia. You'd praise the patience and support of lecturers, students and all relevant players in ensuring that, in spite of his limitations, his determination was recognized thus rewarding him with special dispensations. You'd then move on to contrast what you'd portray as the wisdom and enlightened carriage of white people in contrast to wicked Nigerians that would never act similarly. Whites have ability to think for themselves, you might say, unlike Nigeria where people just ape the West and would never think or do anything for ourselves unless an example had been first set abroad. |
Lazy, cliched thinking; unemployment is no excuse for, robing, murdering women and children and slitting the throats of college students. Africa will begin on the path of change for the better when we stop looking at poor people and the unemployed as if they are saints and the salt of the earth!!. The West is responsible for placing a load of very dangerous and destructive notions into the heads of Africans. |
Rich4god:In context of repeatedly falling for ambushes and suffering unacceptable losses, i cant help but wonder to what extent, if at all, complacency, bravado and foolhardiness plays a role due to fate in Charms. also how Fate in Charms complicates the useful military doctrine that 'he who dares wins", I.E the fine line between risk, acceptable and unacceptable risks .... |
SimplyFacts:Typical Nigerian, sweet and innocent, so you've not considered that Tiwa wanted the tapes leaked? ![]() |
JackDaAlienz:Perhaps intimacy with her is particularly enjoyable. Thing is, the nature in all aspect of the universe, including in living things as well as in the circumstances around living things , always strives for balance. In certain individuals, nature strives for balance in the pleasure and pain they experience in sexual life. This is an aspect of what Indian philosophers call Karma. If you're one of this type of people in whom natures strives for balance in the pleasures and pain you experience in sexual life, bad luck may follow any instance of great pleasure you experience. Conversely, good luck ( sadly often characterized as a period in which nothing bad happens in your life instead of lottery win) will follow any instance of unfortunate sex or abstinence from sex ![]() Individuals that fall into the bracket touched on above also find that misfortune often follows them after masturbating, So, Vaseline crew be warned!! |
tsdarkside:It's not even that, US and Western sanctions on African militaries in this regard is not for human rights considerations but wanting an escalation or prolongation of local conflict. The West has no regards for Africans outside of resources exploitation and control of thire lands. African conflicts are exploitable resource same as oil and diamonds. The West absolutely would prefair a Nigeria at conflict than a Nigeria in economic relations with China for instance. |
The Conversation https://thenextweb.com/news/did-we-discover-new-force-of-nature-new-results-cern-syndication The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) sparked worldwide excitement in March as particle physicists reported tantalizing evidence for new physics – potentially a new force of nature. Now, our new result, yet to be peer-reviewed, from Cern’s gargantuan particle collider seems to be adding further support to the idea. Our current best theory of particles and forces is known as the standard model, which describes everything we know about the physical stuff that makes up the world around us with unerring accuracy. The standard model is, without doubt, the most successful scientific theory ever written down and yet at the same time we know it must be incomplete Famously, it describes only three of the four fundamental forces – the electromagnetic force and strong and weak forces, leaving out gravity. It has no explanation for the dark matter that astronomy tells us dominates the universe, and cannot explain how matter survived during the big bang. Most physicists are therefore confident that there must be more cosmic ingredients yet to be discovered, and studying a variety of fundamental particles known as beauty quarks is a particularly promising way to get hints of what else might be out there. beauty quarks, sometimes called bottom quarks, are fundamental particles, which in turn make up bigger particles. There are six flavors of quarks that are dubbed up, down, strange, charm, beauty/bottom, and truth/top. Up and down quarks, for example, make up the protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus. Beauty quarks are unstable, living on average just for about 1.5 trillionths of a second before decaying into other particles. The way beauty quarks decay can be strongly influenced by the existence of other fundamental particles or forces. When a beauty quark decays, it transforms into a set of lighter particles, such as electrons, through the influence of the weak force. One of the ways a new force of nature might make itself known to us is by subtly changing how often beauty quarks decay into different types of particles. The March paper was based on data from the LHCb experiment, one of four giant particle detectors that record the outcome of the ultra-high-energy collisions produced by the LHC. (The “b” in LHCb stands for “beauty”.) It found that beauty quarks were decaying into electrons and their heavier cousins called muons at different rates. This was truly surprising because, according to the standard model, the muon is basically a carbon copy of the electron – identical in every way except for being around 200 times heavier. This means that all the forces should pull on electrons and muons with equal strength – when a beauty quark decays into electrons or muons via the weak force, it ought to do so equally often. Instead, my colleagues found that the muon decay was only happening about 85% as often as the electron decay. Assuming the result is correct, the only way to explain such an effect would be if some new force of nature that pulls on electrons and muons differently is interfering with how beauty quarks decay. The result caused huge excitement among particle physicists. We’ve been searching for signs of something beyond the standard model for decades, and despite ten years of work at the LHC, nothing conclusive has been found so far. So discovering a new force of nature would be a huge deal and could finally open the door to answering some of the deepest mysteries facing modern science. New results While the result was tantalizing, it wasn’t conclusive. All measurements come with a certain degree of uncertainty or “error”. In this case there was only around a one in 1,000 chance that the result was down to a random statistical wobble – or “three sigma” as we say in particle physics parlance. One in 1,000 may not sound like a lot, but we make a very large number of measurements in particle physics and so you might expect a small handful to throw up outliers just by random chance. To be really sure that the effect is real, we’d need to get to five sigma – corresponding to less than a one in a million chance of the effect being down to a cruel statistical fluke. To get there, we need to reduce the size of the error, and to do this we need more data. One way to achieve this is simply to run the experiment for longer and record more decays. The LHCb experiment is currently being upgraded to be able to record collisions at a much higher rate in future, which will allow us to make much more precise measurements. But we can also get useful information out of the data we’ve already recorded by looking for similar types of decays that are harder to spot. https://cdn0.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2021/10/file-20210322-19-nytkho.jpeg This is what my colleagues and I have done. Strictly speaking, we never actually study beauty quark decays directly, since all quarks are always bound together with other quarks to make larger particles. The March study looked at beauty quarks that were paired up with “up” quarks. Our result studied two decays: one where the beauty quarks were paired with “down” quarks and another where they were also paired with up quarks. That the pairing is different shouldn’t matter, though – the decay that’s going on deep down is the same and so we’d expect to see the same effect, if there really is a new force out there. And that is exactly what we’ve seen. This time, muon decays were only happening around 70% as often as the electron decays but with a larger error, meaning that the result is about “two sigma” from the standard model (around a two in a hundred chance of being a statistical anomaly). This means that while the result isn’t precise enough on its own to claim firm evidence for a new force, it does line up very closely with the previous result and adds further support to the idea that we might be on the brink of a major breakthrough. Of course, we should be cautious. There is some way to go still before we can claim with a degree of certainty that we really are seeing the influence of a fifth force of nature. My colleagues are currently working hard to squeeze as much information as possible out of the existing data, while busily preparing for the first run of the upgraded LHCb experiment. Meanwhile, other experiments at the LHC, as well as the Belle 2 experiment in Japan, are closing in on the same measurements. It’s exciting to think that in the next few months or years a new window could be opened on the most fundamental ingredients of our universe.

According to him, the 99 bodies, which include three killed at the Lekki Toll Gate during the shooting on October 20, 2020 by soldiers, were deposited at the morgue between October 19 and October 24, 2020.We may be getting somewhere - okay, so, 3 killed at Lekki toll gate but by whom? The other 96 bodies, are they bodies of Demonstrators or general Lagos victims, e.g police officers and others, following breakdown in law and order as the Demonstrations degenerated into looting and killings? |
Human males are generally attracted to All women but with stronger or subjective attraction to specific types and quality - be it to do with muscularity, size, height, personality, colour; certain parts of the female anatomy etc. Never believe any male that tells you he is unattracted to either black, white, Asian or Arab women and so on. This sort of attitude is a political and not a natural inclination. In terms of physicality, I’m attracted to all slimly curvaceous women but more so of the African type, especially those ones once common in Nigeria, yellow, red, caramel or black, but dismissed by brainwashed people as looking like bongafish. |
DubaiLandLord1:The British can have bad mouth when it comes to Africa, with their sneering disdain. But how did they perform in Afghanistan? Didn't the Americans have to rescue their terrible efforts in Helmand, where they kept complaining of being provided with poor equipment, quote: 'US and Nato commander at the time, General Dan McNeill, told a visiting American official that the British had "made a mess of things in Helmand". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11906147 In Africa, Sierra Leone/Liberia they, British, waited until Nigeria had done the hard work, then came in to steal the credit at the end. |
Dreadful:Just shut up! |
When people come out they get shot at, people get their hands cut off,Is this true It is like he is saying, somewhere, somehow, individuals in pound-for-pound the most educated part of Nigeria, looked for examples and inspiration not from China - that is sending sonic rockets circling the earth - but to Sierra Leone child dingbats below. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/06/28/article-2672877-1DDDA88C00000578-163_636x417.jpg |

Faguy:Lol, the beginning of this Adage and the build up (bolded) was incredible in its imagery but I'm not sure the climax lived up to the anticipation it created. |
Gerrard59:Bleep off, coward, hiding behind internet. I am Nigerian, no one would reasonably argue that this isn't the case. But who are you, what Nationality? I don't know and i would be silly believing you're from whatever nation that you may argue that you are from, this is what protects you, and why i call you a coward. There isn't one nation on this earth that is so great that i couldn't insult it every bit as viciously and terribly as my nation Nigeria is insulted but i cant do that to your country because i don't know what country that is and i will not insult another person's nation because you claim to be from there. |
Princedapace:Actually, the average Dog in the US and Europe is an exceptionally pampered creature. Stating that dogs live better than many Nigerians only sounds more terrible than the reality of the matter. If being pampered, fed and routinely medicated is your idea of Quality of Life then it is very likely that the average American and European dog has a better life than YOU also as well as a better life than majority of African Americans, Caribbean, Asian and white Americans and Europeans themselves. ![]() |
