Psalmistproject:The gang up has always been there and not just limited to West Africa, it’s just that Nigerians are ignorant of it. Gang up isn’t about border closure; it’s about resentment of Nigeria and for Nigerians being better than they are. It’s a flaw in the black character (crab mentality) that Nigerians seem to generally lack and why I’m hopeful about Nigerians and why I like Nigerians. The “Gang Up” would be nothing and the gangs would suffer for it in the end was Nigeria and Nigerians aware of what’s going on and attributed the real reasons for it rather than play hard and fast politics. In addition, they would suffer were Nigerians a grudgefull and resentful people. I'm a grudging type; I offend no one but will not tolerate offences against my person especially if that offence is visited upon me, like it is on Nigerians, from a place of jealousy. If Nigerians were like me there'd be hell to pay, West Africa would suffer. From what I’ve come to learn, I’m not a fan of Africans and Africans are not the innocents put-upon by the world. Nigeria is the only good thing in Africa as far as I can see. Jamaican elders used to say, "Black noh good", and as an ardent Pan Africanist, i was resentful of that but I’ve come to see that they were right. Africans/blacks are possibly where they are today due to being as unpleasant, cruel and horrible as the rest of the world’s peoples’ but exceptionally back-stabbing types. And as long as Nigeria refuses to face front, put Nigerians first (don’t built rail line to Niger Republic, don’t build road to Cameroon, lock the borders tighter) look after Nigeria’s interest and forget Africa, Nigeria will be pull down by a racist world and Africa helping them. Look at Dubai, if not for knowing how Africa secretly resents Nigeria, would they act unfairly towards Nigeria and expect applause? If Nigeria were a country that harbours resentments would the Emirates go unpunished time and again after humiliating Nigeria which further emboldens them? Nigerians benefit Dubai, Dubai does not befit Nigeria. |
Make evidence one of your watchwords or lies will eventually become weaponized by all side. We are all lost in a world where evidence is not required. |
You’ll find the answers to most social questions involving mankind by thinking of Evolution. For example, contemporary human shyness has its origin in the super awareness Stone Age man evolved due to his dangerous environment. Contemporary deviousness such as stealing and sneakiness resides in the gene our primate ancestors passed down to us during the time when only dominant primate could breed with females. It’s like this: there existed among our early primate ancestors hierarchy of males and females that excluded the lowest ranking males from breeding, thus preventing them form passing on their genes. Weaker males developed a strategy for getting around this fate, which involved sneaking nookie behind the backs of the more dominant males of the troop. In this way gene for Dishonesty, Skulduggery, Sneakiness and theft entered human societies. So, Why Do Men Lose Interest In Women After Sleeping With Them? Men loose interest in women after sleeping with them because humans evolved in a world of scarcity and danger, resulting in short brutish life or torturous longwinded death by famine or dieses. For this reason our primate ancestors need to produce as many offspring as possible. Oddly the strategy for doing this became unnecessarily complicated by our ever increasing brain capacities, society and gender. For our purposes two strategies are the most important – male strategy and female strategy. Male strategy involved breeding with as many females as possible in order to produce as many offspring as possible. Female strategy involved having as many offspring as possible and to keep the male in order that the male provide protection for her and her offspring (Domesticity). In order to keep males breeding as widely as possible genes developed in man appropriated from hunting and war that made him disinterested in domesticity by the female. Having sex and loosing interest is your primordially handed down gene telling you that you have impregnated the woman now its time to find another female and impregnate her. You need to produce as many children as possible or famine, war and dieses will wipe out your line. |
The Eastern Security Network, ESN, a security wing of the Southeast Secessionist group, Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has allegedly killed their native doctor, Paschal Okeke from Umudim-Ukwu Orji, Awomama in Oru East Local Government Area of Imo State over failure of charm he prepared to protect them against police bullet.Well at least they are consistent. In this current democratic dispensation, they’ve always advocated death for failing authority figures so why not failing Native Doctors that if a Political Philosophy of the Bush Society exited it may dedicate an entire chapter to the elitists position they occupy. ![]() |
“We have a lot of gas in this country"Indeed, and in the people too, which is why many talk fart in place of each doing his or her little bit to collectively help develop the country. |
If true, this only makes sense if the base is run informally since the military may have felt secure in the thought that militants wouldn’t be foolhardy enough to attack such a place. Military officers’ owners of the cattle may employ headers that daily escort their cattle to pastures and water etc. At some point Bandits may have come at a time or period of the day that they calculated they would be able to lead the cattle away without military realising that those leading away the cattle were not Herders that work for them. I imagine that where the cattle are usually hold up at the military base is relatively secluded from the busiest part. I doubt that Bandits came in shooting, this sounds like the authors of the article salting and peppering their writing for dramatic effect. |
As Public Enemy might rap, 'I fucking hate Julius Berger bridges!' |
Not a fan of Western constructing companies and financers, I prefer the Chinese. Both sides have points to prove when dealing with Africans. Western countries both stigmatise Africans and are informed in how they deal with Africans by the very stigma they created. So for instance when dealing with Nigerians they may look to cut corners by bribing relevant local interests in the mater having prior told themselves that Nigerians are corrupt. Then they help you build substandard infrastructure pocketing savings accrued from cutting corners, knowing that they will be absolved of blame beneath the Nigerians are corrupt stigma. The Chinese on the other hand are keen to prove that they are better at helping locals with infrastructure than the West. They want to position themselves as empowerers of the downtrodden over Western imperialism with the long term goal of becoming the world’s premier economic and military power themselves. Nigeria’s infrastructure is as poor as it is today due to being short-changed by the Western companies that exploited Nigeria’s requirements. At best they patronisingly built us second rate stuff when not exploiting our negative reputation i.e. ‘You Africans don’t need the best, you’re not ready’ or ‘your standards are so low, this crap we built should be good enough for you’. Sometimes Nigeria engaged India not recognising that India’s resondetra when dealing with Africa is to exploit Africa in a nudge-nudge-wink-wink acknowledgment to white racism and views towards black people. Sure, we should do things ourselves, I agree, such would be best; but, in the meantime, we have as much right as the rest of the world to employ local or international companies for all our infrastructural builds and expect them to do so with highest standards commiserate with the latest technique, designs and materials for the price. |
Stormtrooper11:Then we had better find resources same place ISWAP will find enough to cut off an entire city in the hope of holding it. |
NwaNimo1:I'm sure you also believe in charms and metamorphosing witches. Nigerian army are secretly Bokoharam, rebels can ward off bullets with cowry shells, and old women transform to owls at night. After all this na so physiatrist fit look you |

Jonathan didn’t quite explain it and this is why: in my experience, Nigerians in all parts of the country get along fairly well cross-culturally. My own Delta state is an example. Delta states is diverse in her own right but the oil industry also attracted indigenes from all over Nigeria in large numbers in addition to foreigners and all get on fairly well. I suspect that the difference between the South West and the rest of Nigeria is in being blessed, possibly, with more tolerant or wiser leaders than the rest of Nigeria. Political leaders and leaders generally are the ones stoking divisions not ordinary Nigerians. I do concede that Yoruba leadership wouldn’t t be more affable, tolerant and wise were those traits not more widespread among the Yoruba race than others. |

The designer of the Nigeria's national flag, Pa.Taiwo Akinkunmi will once again achieve a great fet by hosting the world's largest flagGreat idea, hope it enters the Guinness book of records. One of the things I love about Nigeria is that we are always striving, inventive and willing to try something for ourselves without waiting for Whites do it first unlike the rest of Africa. Disregard the criticising for they are often from the anti Nigeria hypocrites. These are the type that insulted a Nigerian man for having Four wives, calling him chauvinistic, primitive and wanting to breed too many children but praise a Ugandan for having Ten wives, calling the Ugandan ,and his very many children, virile and masculine. They are the types that long ago used to criticise Nigerians abroad for wearing traditional attire and eating Nigerian foods claiming Nigeria shamed Africa but now they are all copying Nigerians because traditional African designs are now fashionable. Had some godforsaken Africa nation elsewhere done this they would be first to rush to Niraland to praise it and call Nigerians names for not doing likewise or not being first to do so. Without Nigeria Africa will return to the continent of do nothing Waiting-For-Whiteman’s help! |
HEAVEN4444:Simplified: Originally this was done to disguise traditional worship from the impositions of the foreign imperialists similar to African practices in the new world under slavery e.g. Sanitaria, Candomble idols and artefacts of worship... |
https://www.nairaland.com/6616289/us-government-blocks-36-iranian-affiliated US seizes 36 websites with links to Iran, accusing them of spreading disinformation Most of the websites were used by the Iranian Islamic Radio and Television Union but three were operated by Kata'ib Hizballah. Dozens of Iranian-linked websites have been seized by the US Justice Department. Many of the 36 websites are violent organisations or associated with spreading disinformation, the department said. They were all taken offline for violating US sanctions, although several were back online within hours with new domain addresses. The DOJ said 33 of the websites were used by the Iranian Islamic Radio and Television Union (IRTVU) and the other three websites were operated by Kata'ib Hizballah (KH). The IRTVU was named by US authorities in October as a source of disinformation ahead of the 2020 presidential election. Among those affected were Press TV, the Iranian government's main English-language satellite television channel, and Al Alam, its Arabic-language equivalent. Press TV news presenter Marzieh Hashemi told The Associated Press that the channel was struggling to "figure out the reasons" for The channel looks mainly at international affairs, but criticism of US and UK foreign policy is common and the Anti-Defamation League has called the channel "one of the world's leading dispensers of conspiratorial antisemitism in English". Kata'ib Hizballah, also written as Kataib Hezbollah, is an Iraqi militia group with links to Iran. The US designated it as a foreign terrorist organisation more than a decade ago. Despite sanctions, IRTVU and KH failed to get the required licences from the US government before using the domain names, the Justice Department said. Relations between the US and Iran have been tense for years and worsened after Donald Trump pulled the US out of the Tehran 2015 nuclear deal while he was president. In response, Iran gradually abandoned every previous limit on uranium enrichment, and is currently enriching uranium to 60% - its highest level ever, although it is still short of weapons-grade. Just days ago Ebrahim Raisi, Iran's former judiciary chief, was elected president. Known for being anti-West, he has ruled out meeting US President Joe Biden for talks on Iran's ballistic missile programme and support for regional militias, such as Lebanon's Hezbollah and Yemen's Houthi rebels.

Realtalk20:Eh, for a better perspective on the horribleness of Nigeria, let’s also know how long it would take, say, Argentina, Brazil, Malaysia, South Africa etc in comparison to this China speedy build. |
Fahdiga1:I imagine that the lives of the relevant police officers, and command and control staffs at the relvant stations, depend on apprehending the right people. Why would police want to apprehend wrong people leaving the right people free to return and kill them next time? |
Strange how Nigerians will be cussing the country up and down and if you challenge them, they will point to the poor, saying just how the poor are suffering, poor cant eat, poor are dying, everyone is poor and wretched, people are being killed and maimed, yet they are first ones to encourage doctors that are needed by the poor above all, to flee the country. If you encourage your best to flee who will advocate for the poor? I personally never take complaining civil society Nigerians seriously for they are often immoral and self seeking hypocrites. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with Nigeria beyond partisan politics. Partisan politics in Nigeria is a cesspit full of contesting and bickering bunch of turd! Doctors the world over seek employment in nations other than of birth or and training. Uk trained doctors emigrate to US, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore and vise versa. If a Nigerian doctor wants to practice abroad just provide him with the information he wants without underscoring your advices with politically informed digs at the country. |
When contracting abroad for infrastructure builds, it saves long term employing reputable firms. |
eduj:Was there a court case in which the girl’s evidence was part of the defense or prosecution (and the defense/ prosecution won)? If not what makes you so convinced by her testimoney (if indeed her testimony was even crucial to the verdict) ? |
Grace001:You don’t seem well informed. Similar and worst occur in nations all over the world. And, actually, Nigeria is one of the safer parts of the world. |
The Poor is religions greatest gift. Absolution and eulogising of the Poor is religions' worst gift to human society. Poor people are not automatically innocent victims without responsibility or owing responsibility to society, community, family and selves. |
