Israel will be wondering why Palestinians don't Jappa. The land Palestinians are fighting and dying for isn't as large as Nigeria, isn't as fertile, isn't as bountiful as Nigeria, yet they cling to it, dying for it. Unlike, Nigerians every Palestinian has a better chance of being accepted abroad due to the multiplicity of reasons they could give for fleeing to the specific Western Nation of choice. undecided

I guess Israel's authority might conclude to such a question that Palestinians don't all flee because they are Arabs not blacks. Blacks, like parasites , are well known for loving Already-Made things. Blacks love it all cushy and nice and made by someone else so they can descend on it and suck the life out of what they didn't struggle for.

About Caterham Cars

Caterham Cars is a British manufacturer of specialist lightweight sports cars established in Caterham, England, with their headquarters in Dartford, England. Their current model, the Caterham 7 (or Seven), originally launched in 1973, is a direct evolution of the Series 3 Lotus Seven designed by Colin Chapman. In the 1990s the company made the Caterham 21, a two-seater soft top alternative to the MGF and Lotus Elise, (which both sold many more units). A track-only car, the SP/300.R, a joint project with Lola was released for customer testing in 2010 and was scheduled for release in 2013.

Caterham was an independent company until their acquisition by Team Lotus in 2011, leading to the formation of Caterham Group. In 2021, Caterham Cars was acquired by VT Holdings, Japanese importer for the Caterham Seven since 2009.

Importance of record keeping. References and GDPR's are useless without records. Don't hire people without refences or records and later complain about the character of "Nigerians" when your employee goes psycho on your ass. Nigerians are not your problem in cases like this, you and the culprit are to blame for differing reasons.

If the next employer of this HouseHelp had access to the record of his/her misdeed outlined in this topic the employer wouldn't employ him or her. Nobody would unless they want to give them a second chance.

Record Keeping will eventually positively impact Incidents of wilful bad behaviour by young people in Nigeria

Boko Haram stupidity undecided

Well, greater fervor hath no race of people than black people fighting for the causes of other races informed by the philosophies of other races! This for me is Slave Mentality distilled to its purest.


Africans need to one day discuss the meaning of poverty, happyness, love, governance, religion, life and the meaning of everything from the ancestral perspective instead of the Western, Eastern and Other. If there's nothing to fall back on since our forebears left no solid records but frited it all away on unreliable oral ones, and if recent history is mired by multiplicity of traditions difficult to narrow because of ethnic and tribal patriotism, then we need to reimagine these things for the modern age and our future.

Too late.

Illiteracy, poverty, religious zealotry and corruption have made the North a perfect breeding ground for insurgents.

Similar conditions in the North Central, South East and South South.

Matter of time before government officials and high net worth individuals become targets.

The poor will have nothing left to eat except the rich. Too bad
The poor would eat each other for the rich will fly off. The poor aren't angels, religions’ biggest sin is to paint them as such. For me, there is nothing more egregious to the state than Entitled Poor. Nigeria's Opposition Politics is creating them for Nigeria.
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: The Untold Stories Of Nigerians Seeking Work In Libya. So Unfortunate! by Litmus: 1:30pm On Oct 30, 2023
Blame opposition politics for turning Nigerians from Budding Entrepreneur Types to Job Seeker types. For opposition politics, Job seekers are more of a political weapon than business seekers. So Opposition politics bludgeoned Nigerians endlessly with accusation of stupidity and timindity for being individuals with a self help mentality instead hounding government for work . The advantage ordinary Nigerians had over other Africans was entrepreneurial spirit, Nigerians have lost or are loosing that spirit and are thus becoming as wretched, hopeless, helpless, needy and aid seeking as africans on the rest of the continent. Pitied and looked down upon by the rest of the world outside Africa.

Nigerians Will Rather Commit Suicide Than Act - Amaechi
Depends what he means by Act. If by Act he means political and social restiveness of the sort that characterised Africa in the past then he hasn't thought this through or he is being selfish. But don't take anyone's word for it or Romanticise Revolutions, do research. look at nations of Africa or include South America and the Caribbean. Draw up a list of nations whose citizens were historically the most reactionary and compare them to nations whose citizens were comparatively less so. Next compare the level of development achieved by list of historically restive nations versus docile ones today.

Blazebond:
He will be sent out of Ghana soon,but why is he not trying to get into Europe or America and seek asylum there instead of running around Africa,can't he make moves to enter into Sweden, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg,Norway and co,abi those countries already know say the guy na lamba and cruise master
That's 'cause the nations you mentioned won't offer him asylum unless they believe the Nigeria state is genuinely a threat to his well-being due to his investigative activities. Through back-channels and other overt and clandestine means, majority of these european Nations are kept informed of the true nature and realities in many relatively important third world Nations like Nigeria. You could safely wager your house on the bet that the UK and America governments know David Hundeyin more thoroughly than either the Nigeria state or David Hundeyin's parents.

Besides, for decades, ordinary Nigerians tried to exploit the asylum system to get into Europe and America. In response, Western nations began thoroughly investigating Nigeria's realities and the background to claims by Nigerians. Western Nations know Nigeria more indepthly than everyday Nigeria citizens realise. You cant pull the wool over thire eyes .... unless they willfully acquiesce due perhaps to Realpolitiks.
Science/Technology › Experimental Material Made From DNA And Glass Is 5x Stronger Than Steel by Litmus(op): 4:02pm On Oct 23, 2023
Regular glass is brittle and fragile. But pure glass coated on DNA is a different beast entirely.

Scientists have successfully combined the intricate structure of DNA with the purity of glass to create a material that boasts both lightness and unprecedented strength. The resulting supermaterial is five times lighter yet four times stronger than steel. This makes it "the strongest known" for its given density, according to the scientists who forged the material from the University of Connecticut, Columbia University, and Brookhaven National Lab.

The quest for materials that perfectly balance strength and lightness has always been a challenge. The two characteristics often seem at odds with each other, but that doesn't have to be the case. In fact, as a team of dedicated researchers showed, these two traits can sometimes go hand in hand.

Most cool science projects feature some equally cool inspiration. This time it came from Iron Man's iconic suit.

"I am a big fan of Iron Man movies, and I have always wondered how to create a better armor for Iron Man. It must be very light for him to fly faster. It must be very strong to protect him from enemies' attacks. Our new material is five times lighter but four times stronger than steel. So, our glass nanolattices would be much better than any other structural materials to create an improved armor for Iron Man," said Oleg Gang, a nanomaterials scientist at Columbia University.

The crux of their approach lies in exploiting the inherent strengths of glass. Yes, that same glass that shatters with the slightest mishap. The reason why glass breaks easily has to do, in most cases, with imperfections in its structure, like cracks or missing atoms. However, in its purest, most flawless form, a tiny piece of glass can endure pressures that would crumble even some of the sturdiest, heaviest materials.

However, crafting large, unblemished glass pieces is extremely challenging. This is why when using glass as a structural material, a size less than a micrometer thick is nearly always perfect. And since it's lighter than many metals and ceramics, structures made of such pristine nano-sized glass are both powerful and feather-light.

To shape the pure glass particles into a 3D framework, the researchers turned to DNA, which they used as a scaffold. Imagine a house frame, but instead of wood or steel, it's constructed entirely of DNA. This self-assembling DNA framework acts as a skeleton, onto which scientists meticulously applied a glass coating. This delicate balance results in a material that's both robust and lightweight, achieving strengths and densities previously thought impossible.

"The ability to create designed 3D framework nanomaterials using DNA and mineralize them opens enormous opportunities for engineering mechanical properties. But much research work is still needed before we can employ it as a technology," says Gang.

Next, the researchers plan to make even stronger materials using DNA structure. For instance, substituting carbide ceramics for glass could produce materials with even better strength-to-weight ratios. Altering the DNA structure may also heavily improve these ratios. Does this mean that we'll get to see some of these crazy materials embedded into Iron Man-like body armor someday? Who knows, but now we know someone's working on it.

The findings appeared in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science.

Politics › Re: Witches Predict Outcome Of Imo, Kogi, Bayelsa Elections by Litmus:
Nigerian White Witches Predict Outcome Of Imo, Kogi, Bayelsa Elections
Didn't read article , just had to comment on the adjective highlighted. If any form of mainstream, acceptable, benevolent Witches organization exist in Nigeria, they should not refer to themselves as "White" witches, please. I understand where the nomenclature is derived; nevertheless, you are not obliged by law. At this historic juncture in our relations to others that have politized peoples into racial classifications and groupings it does not serve our young people well taking no stand. Any number or colour names would suffice - if Nigerian Witches isn't acceptable or Black Witches too irrevocably saddled with negative connotations - there are other colours sometimes associated with black people, for instance, Blue and Purple. Ours could be Purple or Blue witches.


We, as Nigerians , particularly owe it to our young ones never to position any European or Asian article as though set in stone. It is nearly our duty to adapt it all to our indigenous, national or racial specification.
