Kemi is undermining her own powerbase. For a woman so articulate and who has in the past shown a good understanding of race and politics she is revealing an astonishing level of amateurishness. Richie Sunak's powerbase was the Indian community. India's population, cultural might an influence. All this made him a potential asset in the eyes of the British establishment that can see far beyond the silly notions of corruption that some of you nurse. Power structures that underpin the various Western democracies play with corruption. It is nothing to them, not a hill on which to die. Corruption is a trifling issue in the world that the establishment operate in yet Nigerians carry it for head like gibbering idiotic dolts. People learned nothing of this underbelly from the resent US election. So Kemi's undermining of her own power base, which is her Nigerian heritage in the eyes of the British establishment is extraordinarily naive. Black British aren't her power base nore are white English people here power base. The British want Nigeria as a significant force that they can do business with in the coming years. They don't want any prime minister who, instead of engaging other nations gainfully for Britain, is busy fermenting enmity with other Nations and even seeming to encourage civil strife and conflict. I can only imagine that this conservative leadership, in the mind of Kemi, is merely a play to boost her personal resume in lure of many top jobs when ousted as leader of the conservative party and other perks that come with it. |
If Nigerians were not the nice people that they are, government could turn this entire issue into a serious Nigeria /UK diplomatic spat that would end up with Mrs Badernoc forced to face a premature conservative leadership challenge. See Nigeria. I warned that Nigerians should leave that girl alone but my post was quickly removed by MODs. It is enough that Kemi has Nigeria heritage, I tried to warn. She has already served the purpose of promoting Nigeria. But, oh no, you people, like African Americans, had to go acting in ways that ultimately undermine the influences that black people could have in the world stage if you just left them alone. |
As a politician who is not Nigerian, why is Mrs Badernoc attacking Nigeria? In other words is it not her very Nigeria linage that enables her the liberty to both attack Nigeria and get away with it. Imagine if Keir Starmer had spoken similarly about Nigeria or if Kemi herself spoke similarly on India. And as a prospective leader of the United Kingdom, what does her remark suggest UK relationship with Nigeria will be on the international stage under her leadership, notwithstanding that the United Kingdom traditionally threads a cautious diplomatic line in order not antagonise allies or damage further relationships with unfriendly nations. |
studyless123:Perfect. |
Nigeria is vulnerable to misinformation disseminated by the proudly ignorant and willfully misinformed. |
Dogalmighty17:Indeed. This is the least one would expect. Nigeria officers train all over the world, some at the very best military institutes such as Sandhurst. Yet what you say requires none of the highest military doctrine, it's common sense. |
HgAkpobomeEr:See your fingers like Good Development . Typical "Nigerian" never happier than when other Nations benefit from the exploitation of Nigeria. If Tinubu wanted to please so-called Nigerians about that Lagos Calabar coastal road he should have called it Accra to Younde coastal highway. Then "Nigerians" would cheer. |
I love Nigeria english and the world seem to love it also. It's unique and is becoming a brand. I prey Nigerians will begin to see the value and actively insist on speaking this way and not change. One incidental value of Nigerian English and pronunciations is that it enables us to identify West African imposters trying to pass off as Nigerians in order to harm Nigeria in various ways. The way South Africans speak isn't extraordinary. It is not much different from the way all of black Africa - except Nigeria - speak English. South Africa English is the ordinary English of Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Gambia etc. |
When you're ready to blow up the world for a piece of land, you're lying that the land is important to you. |
There could be up to a Million Africans in India. If so majority will be from East Africa, possibly Uganda.The population of Ghanians in India is more than Nigerians. The claim that 1.3 million Nigerians are in Indian prisons is clearly a misprint. I doubt India has up to 20 thousand Nigerians living there. Believing 1.3 million Nigerians are languishing in India jail's suggests a lack of critical thinking. A more plausible scenario is that India might be negotiating with Nigeria to accept African immigrants, akin to the United Kingdom's now-defunct plan to send migrants to Rwanda. Similarly,U.S. President Trump is floated the idea of using parts of Africa as a dumping ground for migrants. |
Highest number of incarcerated people in the world, with almost 1.8 million people in prison as of the end of 2023, United States. China: Has around 100,000 fewer prisoners than the United States Brazil: Has almost 840,000 prisoners India: Has 573,000 prisoners Russian Federation: Has over 433,000 prisoners The United States also has the highest prison population rate in the world, at 716 per 100,000 of the national population. Other countries with high prison population rates include: St Kitts & Nevis (714) Seychelles (709) U.S. Virgin Is. (539) Barbados (521) Cuba (510) The total worldwide prison population is likely to be over 11.5 million if numbers from detention centers in China and prison camps in North Korea are included. |
I don't believe any of these Libya "Nigerian sold another Nigerian", stories . I need solid evidence not hearsays. |
Nigeria, stick with China. Indians are facilitators of racism against black people at every level. There's a difference between your lovely, kind Indian personal friend and Indians in terms of international and national strategic interest. Oh black people when will you learn??! |
Chatgbterised version for the epistle haters: The article addresses efforts by the U.S. government to combat money laundering in the real estate market. Previously, certain areas, like Fairfax County, Virginia, and Los Angeles County, were subject to rules requiring the disclosure of identities behind transactions, especially when shell companies paid in cash. However, in 2014, these rules were not yet in effect, allowing anonymous cash purchases of high-value properties in Los Angeles and McLean, Virginia. The new rule will expand these disclosure requirements nationwide, aiming to prevent misuse of the U.S. real estate market by corrupt officials, drug cartels, and foreign adversaries. Gary Kalman, executive director of Transparency International U.S., supports the rule, stating that the U.S. market’s stability, size, and opacity have made it a popular destination for laundering illicit funds. In a separate topic, the article marks the ten-year anniversary of the infamous Boko Haram schoolgirl kidnapping in Nigeria, noting that over 80 girls remain captive. Despite the Nigerian government’s counter-terrorism efforts, Boko Haram and other groups continue to abduct people, contributing to ongoing instability in the region. The article’s main thrust highlights the intent of U.S. regulations to curb illegal financial activities by enhancing transparency in real estate transactions. At the same time, it underscores persistent global issues, like terrorism in Nigeria, as examples of how systemic instability fuels criminal exploitation across borders. The narrative emphasizes the importance of regulatory measures in safeguarding financial systems from exploitation by bad actors. |
I know you Nigerians like to point fingers at one another: You'll be preferring stuff like, "the north did this to Johnathan, because they were not in power and now they are doing it to Tinubu because he is a Westerner" or "powerful men in Nigeria are the cause, they are sponsoring bandits" or " military is compromised they want increased budget, they are preparing to mount a coup" . This sort of thing you all like and so voices like mine, you'll dismiss as out of touch or not "knowing Nigeria". Anyway, I'll repeat, your problems are largely due to external forces. I'd go so far as to suggest that if America was in Nigeria's situation, they would be at war with the suspect West Africa nations that your security agents and secret intelligence know are heavily involved in trying to drag Nigeria down to thire own wretched levels. |
Nah, it is ultimately about the Black Wallstreeting of Nigeria wilfully aided and abetted by the blacks of Africa due to jealousy of Nigeria. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kmRc1OX284?si=BwTM5v5UVimTu5ny Why did black wallstreet have to go? Same applies to Nigeria. |
Wow, so shitty looking Gabon is wealthier than South Africa and Egypt. This must mean South Africa is ramshackled. Why do Nigerians act like South Africa resembles Europe? |
Why is it nothing can happen in Nigeria - that are common events elsewhere - without it becoming opportunity for existential political finger pointing or and racial self immolation ? ![]() |
The Malaysian government has announced plans to phase out the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) for vehicles and end the sale of natural gas vehicles (NGV) in the country.Haven't comprehensively looked into this but since Malaysia, in addition to Vietnam and a number of other middling Asian nations, are pivoting towards Electric vehicles, thire possible determining of CNG as relatively unsafe should not be viewed as an indorsement that petrol/ diesel is safer and this is what they will instead pivot towards but rather that they wish entirely do away with fossil related fuels. Chatgbt rewrite: While I haven’t fully examined the details, Malaysia—alongside Vietnam and other mid-tier Asian countries—seems to be shifting toward electric vehicles. Their decision to move away from CNG likely reflects a broader goal to eliminate fossil-based fuels, rather than suggesting that petrol or diesel is viewed as a safer or preferable alternative to CNG. |
True Nigerians with thire great qualities shipping out as government ships in West Africa and Central African destitutes in the name of "Repatriating stranded Nigerians". You ordinary Nigerians need to wake up to this. Your government is accepting money from United Nations agencies to ship in foreign Africans while lying to you that they are Nigerians. Nigeria did this before during the hight of the Mediterranean/ Libya migrants crisis. It was due to the success of this strategy of paying Nigeria to take in destitute Africans that UK got the idea to ship migrants heading to UK to Rwanda. This helps balloon your population, impacting you future ability to climbed out of relative poverty...not to mention other ills because I don't want to sound like a South African. |
