Make Corruption Great Again!

By the way, this is NOT surprising.

Trump himself ran a CRYPTO SCAM a day before his inauguration
His scam WRECKED 810,000 people.

Yet there are FOOLS that'll swear on their grandmother's grave that he's the paragon of integrity and honesty.
Trump is never a man of integrity but in that his crypto coin, the foolish buyers scammed themselves.

How do you buy a speculative (shitcoin) for even $1, not to talk about $75?

bemeruca I hope you see why I have refused to respond to that lunatic?

How can someone be so confused with life that all he does is to fight with everyone who doesn't believe in same things he does?

Until a letter that attest to his sanity is presented, I will never respond to him.

See how he's being calling my name to get my attention for days like a tenager who is confused about her hormones?

If he doesn't show the ability to discuss like a human, I will not release him from my penitentiary.

Let him crash and burn like he's been doing for days because I refused to respond to him. He has to learn the hard way.

Are you wiling to put a bet that in 4yrs time, Canada will still be a separate country
Omo, some things dey off me.

Trump , take and annex Canada to the US? Dude cannot even take any of those smaller sovereign nations in central America self not to talk about a whole Canada.

I'd like to know the process from the "Trudeau" or Trump himself.

Turns out the people who accuse others of conspiracy are more into conspiracy than those they condemn.

"Trudeau said" and I believe him. Trudeau that is hated for his numerous lies in Canada.

Staying off party line has shown me those who are massively brainwashed.

silly boy

those are just two oil companies in nigeria

total
conoil
oando
nnpc
mrs
ardova
seplat
chevron
pinnacle

do you think all the companies listed keep a full contingent of IT staff?

you know nothing.

for the past 10 years nigerian businesses have been outsourcing, third partying and trimming benefits

i even have reservations about Livelystone01's statement because shell has plenty of third party contract engineers

as in they have third party engineers in their CORE business
doing the same thing as the full time staff and getting paid a fraction of the wages

one of my guys was in a third contract party role for 10 years before he japaed to canada.
i actually tried to help him get a job in my old place but he was beaten out in the interview.

so i find it hard to believe they will have support roles in full employment when they are third partying core technical roles
Shell has contract staff and they also have full time staff. It is normal in the system but they never removed the IT department completely.

Please go and ask and those in the system will tell you.

NLNG also have contract staff but also have full time IT department and personnels.

I know what I am saying.

your experience must be different
i also worked in an oil company a very well known one from 2004 to 2019
in 2006 there was a full fledged it department, internal company security, internal cleaners
by 2015, large portions of these departments had all been outsourced and what we had were managers interfacing with vendors be it oracle, lenovo, etc

the name of the game is third party contract staff.
as a nigeran you should be familiar with this

more so in companies like NNPC where the company hiring the third parties is owned by an oga.
you will see it in the id card as different id cards have different stripes. full employee, temporary, contract.

if you work in nigerian run orgs you know how the game goes

you should understand that bemuruca was at best a lowly entry level it admin. tongue

the ones who install windows, change hard drive, etal, set up conference call. the one who you pay 5k to change your laptop battery tongue
No chief, until today NLNG and SPDC still have IT full time staffs.

They may have trimmed their numbers but they still run it full time.

Gloriousgbola also said oil companies don't employ IT personnel, that they are all contract staff 😂😂😂🤣 he even generalized oil companies.

His argument is they don't employ cleaners so they don't employ IT people too. Only engineers they employ 😂

This guy is a special kind of stupid
IT is a major department in oil firms.

I know for a fact because I worked with a company that has contracts with NLNG and SPDC. I was the one interacting with these guys the most.

See ehn, this one touched me so deep.

I watched it and got angry to the extent that I stopped talking with my American friend for a while. I beefed everyone, from Trump to the father who forced his son to confess, to the mother who told her son to betray, to the police and to the prosecutor, the white lady.

God abeg o, I don't want to get back to such state of anger again so I will just forget it.

My only consolation was that they got settled and still found life afterwards.

You think China and Russia will give you free money for DEI and gender bending studies in Sri Lanka grin

Dey play. US might have their flaws but the sheer size of their economy means they will never not be relevant.

If you think the US are users wait let China hold your country for waist first.

From NATO, to USAID to the other free money they're giving everywhere they're the Universal sugar Daddy and all these countries you listed above simply can't cope
I'm confused about what your argument is right now. I responded to your quote by saying if the US stops the aids, they'd lose out of the advantages it gives them in those nations. That was why I spoke against the DOGE releases.

As for taking international businesses and partnerships seriously, no one wants to lose their cash cow and most people do not understand that the Chinese and their allies are closing in on some of these disgruntled allies at the moment.

Do you know why Trump is chasing after Greenland and Panama waters?

Do you know how China has been getting certain contracts from the Talibans in Afghanistan since the US pulled out?

No one gives free money and no one simply just give without getting something in return. In short, every giver of a grant gets multiple returns.

The US economy is big, that's why it needs to keep giving our these aids in order to get certain resources from these nations at a cheaper rate than it would normally be.

It only takes one negotiation with one black market broker to get China or Russia into most of these places as partners.

I'm enjoying the expose. Taxpayers need to know how insane the Democrat party is and how their tax dollars are being squandered

Transparency is key and I think they are at a point now where the people are sick and tired of playing global police. Every move of Trump gives me the impression that na all man for himself regime be this. No money to waste. All these countries and our interests in them do absolutely nothing for the bottomline is his mentality
The US gets lots of things in return more than they give. Imagine the illegal drilling in Syria, Iraq, etc and other illegal mining from those other countries they send aids to.

Should we talk about their interests in some countries too?

Remove the aids and these guys will move to the highest bidder. Remember, China and some other countries are lurking around to get these new partners if the US fails.

The net product of this action is that the US will be at a loss, they will lose more ground while their counterparts will gain more.

Enter the NED, and you will find that is just as dirty as USAID. But you will find that the NED is also cover for clandestine operations all over the world - Europe -Ukraine, Poland, former USSR, The Middle East, Africa, South America. Even Alan Weinstein openly admitted this.

The NED, openly funded by the then USIA (agency for US propaganda), If you open up their accounts, I am sure you will find even worse entries than those of USAID. It's all US Foreign Policy work, wrapped up in funny titles. This is why I am paying no attention to this USAID nonsense. It's for the echo chamber.

Am I a supporter of American expansionism over the world? NO! Absolutely not! But one would have to be extremely stupid to think this is how you dismantle government, even if there were excesses.

[/b]The is the USA. A lot of bad things precede them, and as such, it is to be assumed that a lot of vengeance is in the offing. To be oblivious about this is to be naive. But what is also naive is to not see from a distance that what DOGE is doing now is only exposing the US to severe national security issues down the line.[b]

You take a bunch of kids with no prior security clearance and no training on how to navigate classified Intel and you ask them to comb through sensitive government data. The identities of these individuals are now known all over the world, but you don't reason that those kids are now targets for reverse clandestine operations on US soil. Everything from infiltration all the way to stealing sensitive American data is now on the cards, because these idiots shut down the government apparatus that arrests such incidents.

Two days ago, the white house asked for a complete list of all employees by the CIA to be sent in an unclassified email. They are exposing dirty laundry to the public, making it look like they are doing good work. The clowns are cheering on, thinking something good is being achieved.

I cannot tell you in how many ways these numpties are endangering their own safety.

I still hold the position that most of these USAID revelations should be studied first before dropping to the public.

Most are slush funds to settle for some American interests in other nations. They cannot be named because of it gets out they are operating something of such in foreign nations, it woul become a problem.

I don't know how to explain to make you understand that I see those as payments for clandestine operations that helps America and their interests in those countries.

Isn't this what I was saying about the extremism of the Dems? They used this NGO to push an agenda, so far left that they couldn't even survive in an ordinary environment.

Now they've hibernated or shut down.

Did they even help any black community to overcome their pertinent challenges, I don't think so.

The Dems just need to do a soul search, review the issues that cost them and then align themselves to the more moderate then the mid-term will favour them. I want them to have the house or senate to check mate Trump. He shouldn't have too much power to continue on this path.

I am beginning to dislike the rate at which Trump drops EOs, so many look too personal and short sighted in my opinion.

No I do not oppose it, as a matter of fact I love and appreciate accountability a lot. What I need the agency to do though is to get verifiable facts and understand what and where these finances are going to before exposing them to the public. So many people are already angry, anything will inflame them to not be logical.

Also, I think the agency needs to be bi-partisan so as to have members from both divides to work together in order to get the best result possible.

All these things he is doing are in his Art of the Deal book. Last year before the election I kept telling folks the tariff is a bargaining tool used for negotiation. he is not stupid to tariff everything. That is exactly what he is doing. Even the Gaza remark is the same thing. All those countries that disagree will need to take responsibility now.

Are they only focused on agendas?

Kamala Harris has been a dull woman if we are truly unbiased. The media who pushed her intelligence during the campaign should all keep themselves out of journalism because it was clear to people how dull she was since she was VP. Every interview that wasn't edited or preconceived was a very big failure.

It was an own goal by the Dems to field such a dull candidate. Her VP is another baggage.

I'm against the deceptive nature of the US media with words to brainwash their people. Things like lobbying, terrorists or rebels are used however they like to further their interests. Example is the "lobbying and lobbyists", this is pure corruption coated in grammar to deceive people. It is the same thing done in other countries that they cal corruption.

It is also important to understand that the corruption is both from the GOP and DNC candidates. Both sides are united in voting for things that increase their pockets as seen in years.

This DOGE agency, however good intentions they may have, their leaking to the public things they do not truly understand will only inflame people and allies to be very careful with the US.

There are so many shades of wrongs in this saga.

If it is important, it'll be routed to the black budget.
Cutting USAID will not lead to the kind of outcomes you outlined in your earlier comment.

DOGE staff may be young, but the IC has been around the block.
Part of USAID was absorbed into the State Department to maintain some of those stuff you highlighted.

-Lord
So what names should they give to those operations in the books? Because accountability must be made so there's a name that would be placed there. You want them to write "payment for illegal mining or to warlords for security in the middle East"?

Something like this would still come up if they put it under any other agency because their purposes can never be stated expressly.

They would reroute the payments through that, if these are valid essentials.

She was truly a airhead DEI candidate through and through
I've been trying to get my head around the USAID issues for a while and my conclusion is that most of these payment tags we see are cover ups for the promotion of US interests in certain countries.

I don't think it is legal to put the right things in there because of the illegality of some of these promotions. Take something like this, you see that they wrote the correct thing there and what you'd have been seeing are: payment for staffs illegally drilling oil in so and so country or payment for our assets in Vietnam or our contractors for "whatever secret trades of certain rare minerals" in the middle East.

We have to look holistically at this and not get triggered to tag these things before getting the true issue these payments were disbursed for.

You know the US are running some very lucrative illegal trades or mining in some of these destabilised countries and these could be their payment methods.

Imagine the world seeing, payment for illegal mining of minerals in Nigeria or Djibouti or mobilization fee for illegal drilling in Syria or others.

Also, most of those so-called terrorists in the media are CIA assets who the US use to control important resources in their domains. How do you label a payment to such person that wouldn't have caused another "Snowdon's" level of outrage worldwide?

I think this agency called DOGE have rookies that do not understand clandestine operations, especially political ones or Elon and co do but they do not care. Either way, it is so bad for America because how do you expect to get the next shipments of raw solid and rare earth minerals from illegal miners in Iraq when you haven't sent the next payment to your warlord connect?

These guys will just move their business elsewhere and have others fill in for them. Black market brokers would be licking their hands right now that Trump is pushing on things like these.

Make we just they see how China go enjoy this move wella.
