There is a silent technological war going on. It is the chip war. It is mainly between Taiwan, USA and China. China and USA are trying to displace Taiwan to achieve independence in chip manufacturing process and gain sophistry. China and USA are practically subsidising their chip makers with average of $100 billion.
That's as good as a subsidy. Some years back ir was USA subsidising car makers because they know what that translates to for the biggest car market in the world.
In Nigeria, people who have submitted their brain to Oyibo pipu will be pushing for removal of subsidy and think it makes them sound sophisticated. Nonsense.

Very beautiful and 100% true reality. THE MOST "WESTERNIZED" AFRICAN IS THE BIGGEST AND MOST WILLING SLAVE.

There is absolutely, absolutely NOTHING wrong with government support, that is exactly why there was a government in the first place. Especially for a very poor and still very much developing country like Nigeria.

helinues:


Are you benefitting from any of the subsidizing products?

GO!!

helinues:

Pls don't be here! GO!!

Firstly, Nigeria and by extension Africa is gradually being pushed to an extreme form of capitalism, a very very harsh system and environment even those pushing us have never ventured. We're like in a perpetual predictable experiment by these Western international organizations, corporations and Nations. Very predictable!

There's not a single country today that does not pay not one but different forms of subsidies on products for its citizens. China pays trillions in agricultural, energy, electricity, industrial subsidies, which is the most of any country. The USA is second with almost a trillion dollars, the USA even subsidizes it's richest, like Elon Musk and co so their industries can compete.

Russia, Saudi Arabia, USA, China, Japan, France, India, Egypt, South Africa. I promise you mention any Western nation and major or even smaller less competitive economies and I will prove they pay subsidies.

Nigeria with a population of well over 200 million, teeming young people and fast growing in numbers is a very attractive and high potential, something most of these Western countries literally pray and beg for. As a growing and developing economy Nigeria should cry and wail that the economy grows at a mere 3.1% rate. With this, in just a few years even Ethiopia (growing more than twice Nigeria's rate) and Morocco will leap frog ahead of Nigeria making Nigeria the sixth or seventh in Africa by GDP in Africa.

THE COUNTRY NIGERIA WILL NEVER SEE ANYWHERE CLOSE TO ITS POTENTIAL AND CAN NOT PROGRESS WITHOUT SUBSIDIES. SUBSIDIES ON FUEL, ELECTRICITY, AGRICULTURE, ITS GROWING SMEs AND THE LITTLE INDUSTRY IT ALREADY HAS. YOU CAN NOT MAINTAIN THE SO-CALLED INVESTORS YOU ALREADY HAVE, DO NOT GO RUNNING LOOKING FOR NEW ONES.

Even if the government decides to sell or give away kuli kuli to the general public there will always be corruption.

The West subsidizes even their billionaires and their companies but they complain subsidies in Africa benefit the rich. Yes of course, why not?!!!

When you don't pay subsidies, which is as old as can be recorded in ancient times, you slow and even cripple your economic activities, we see it. And you still do not solve any problem you claim to want to solve (there's still fuel scarcity).

Western countries industrialized very largely thanks to subsidies. Christopher Columbus would never have gotten to the Americas without government support. Africa most begin to see subsidies differently, subsidies are far more effective than any form or system of "palliatives" and hand outs from any and especially a corrupt country like Nigeria. Subsidies go round and go wide and further.

I will sit and argue this with Okonjo Iweala, Tinubu and all his appointees, Peter Obi ( whose picture I have as profile photo). PROPAGANDA IS A VERY EFFECTIVE WEAPON Of WAR, AFRICA LOOSE AND EVEN TODAY ARE AT THE HIGHEST RECEIVING END OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND OLDEST FORMS OF BRAINWASHING. WE'RE LIKE ZOMBIES!

China today would have never thrived without the government Subsidies it still enjoys. The USA as a country and its economy specifically will crumble tomorrow if it removes all forms of government supports and especially subsidies from the poor way up to the most wealthiest.

it’s not even a topic that should be discussed

Yes, we most all come together in one strong voice and vehemently condemn these dirts today. It is a sexually depraved but addictive IDEOLOGY and spirit, and as it takes root in a society it becomes a menace and a mountain of work to uproot.

I've been saying the same, homosexuality is crazy in Nigeria, come to Abuja and Calabar you will scream... Federal secondary schools have lots of lesbians while Abuja have a crazy gay community

You are a very cheap liar, I've been in Abuja probably longer than you discovered ABJ exists and never in my life came across these groups.

The reality of filt and nauseatingly evil acts is it depends on lies to spread. By claiming"everyone does it" they hope to recruit the most gullible, ignorant and weakest of the society.

victory36:
first of all, I didn't beg to be born. Africa that has rapid population growth, what good has it brought apart from exacerbated poverty and hunger? Y'all are so obsessed about procreation even when there are no resources to cater for already overpopulated continent you have

You prove my post very very well, exactly as I pointed out, at least those coming to read it will know I am right and not being insulting or spreading lies! Your type are ANNIHILISTS, self-hating, human-hating but very deluded albeit confident in their abject ignorance, hence people of your groups have so high a suicide ratings. As such I will leave you to this, but know that Africa's population will continue to increase to ten billion people.

Go and prostate to your "White intellectual" master so he does you in, as it is he who fed you these opinions you parrot as your own.

Cheap clown saying "Africa is overpopulated", they've been saying this since Africa was just a few hundred million, your existence makes them sick, sick as they already.

I made a comment on another post and decided to make it a new thread. The topic I'm working on it's original is quite big, long and more in-depth, but this is a summary I left as a comment.

How did Africans and Black peoploe survive the worst dehumanization humanity has ever seen, from the Trans Saharan slave trade, trans Atlantic slave trade, colonialism from the Arabs and the West, once even considered to not be humans. These dehumanizations reduced African from about 800 million at a time to less than 200 million. Dehumanization native Americans and many races couldn't survive.

Today you can not go to any continent and not find a very substantial Black people of African origin, millions in the Americas, Carribean, the middle East, Asia, Europe, You name it.

How did the oldest race on earth, Africans, survive all these and more and now are more than a billion and a half today, and soon the majority in the nearest future? LET ME TELL YOU....

The African society is set by our ancients in a way that it is capable of surviving the most brutality and catastrophe that most others and even animal species could not. From the communal system to the polygamous family system, reference for elders and historical simplicity and hospitality and acceptance of total strangers.

HOMOSEXUALITY is a condition that serves no purpose to the collective good of a society aside certifying an unquenchable desire, unnatural in it thirst and unprofitable, unproductive, non-contributing in its entirety. And so I dare say polygamy is the direct opposite of HOMOSEXUALITY, polygamy recreates, it allows and gives home to women and children less privileged and makes the community and family even bigger and stronger. Polygamy is not a system built for the sake of certifying sexual fetish, unlike HOMOSEXUALITY, it is one of the bedrock as to why and how the African society and peoples endured and are massively GROWING and doing as nature and God designed, PRODUCING and MULTIPLYING.

Homosexuality is anti-women, it is anti-children, homosexuality is anti-humanity and anti-community and family. That is why you find people who gravitate towards that act are usually ANNIHILISTS (check meaning), and highly suicidal. They could never procreate, but they want to teach children you procreate, they depend on you for their on survival and not adding anything. The irony of a parasite.

A people's cultures, traditions and ways and structure they set their society is what largely holds them together, and it is considered their very own identity. But when you loose your identity, when you completely throw away who you are for something of someone else, you do not become them, you become a poor perpetual puppet and copycat, and the worst version. And things fall apart.

There's a lot to say, the comments section and even Nairaland as a whole can not contain the entirety of this topic's discussion, but know this, HOMOSEXUALITY has no place among sane people, no wonder they have the highest suicide rates. It is a very recently accepted culture even in the so-called West.

May we learn from them but only cherry pick what works and not what sounds good and pleasures the now.

I hope this post doesn't get hidden.

LandMann:


Someone will take time to research and analyse a situation in Nigeria but empty shells like you and other government propaganda agents on nl will not read to understand or even provide a superior argument. You will simply echo an empty and well rehearsed mundane line to confuse and mislead unenlightened minds reading your post.

Shame on you

Thank you Sir. To be honest with you I didn't even read his post, neither did I read even the reply by the girl I referred to up there. I mark and take notice of people to avoid even their comments not to talk of posts here as I know their way of thinking and they're very predictable.

I have mentioned Africa as a whole in the post even more than I did Nigeria particularly so this is not a post specific and localized to Nigeria alone. I still have Peter Obi's picture as my profile pic but I still disagree with him where I do not agree as I am my own person and not driven by personality worship or caveman tribal jingoist bigotry. I am not even from the South.

May God help their types, they own and dominate Nairaland.

Your level of attention seeking, derailing of thread, childishness and everything in between is one like never seen before.

I am actually humbling myself and patiently begging you, not seeking your attention or interaction. You have no shame or self-restraint but try these qualities sometime, I am begging, at least where I seem close by.

IMF ASKED YOU TO REMOVE SUBSIDIES WITHOUT ADEQUATE JOB PROVISIONS.
THESE WILL PROMOTE BRAIN DRAIN (JAPA)
THE PEOPLE YOU TRAINED FROM BIRTH TO 20 YEARS
WILL NOW MIGRATE EN-MASSE TO BECOME SLAVES IN WESTERN COUNTRIES.
HUMANS ARE THE NEW COMMODITIES
WHEN ABROAD THEY ARE USED FOR THE MORE MUNDANE MENIAL JOBS
WHILE THEIR OWN CITIZENS ARE FREED TO DO MORE INTELLECTUAL ACTIVITIES THAT WILL LEAD TO NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THEIR COUNTRIES.
NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT IS TAKING ADVISE FROM PEOPLE WHO CAME TO STEAL HUMAN BEINGS FROM AFRICA AS SLAVES (EQUIVALENT OF ENERGY AT THAT TIME) TO BUILD AND DEVELOP THEIR OWN COUNTRIES. NOW THESE PEOPLE ARE ASKING US NOT TO SUBSIDIZE POWER,KNOWING FULLY WELL CHEAP POWER IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO INDUSTRIALIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT.
SAUDI,IRAN,IRAQ,RUSSIA,VENEZUELA AND UAE ALL SUBSIDIZE PETROL/LNG.
EVEN THE USA ! BIDEN RELEASED THE SPR TO SUBSIDIZE/CRASH PETROL PRICE 2 YEARS AGO, SEE LIST OF AMERICAN SUBSIDIES BELOW !!

IMF, WORLD BANK, WTO are Capitaslists' systems of sustained Western imperialism!

I have well over a hundred different topics centering around international politics especially as it concerns Africa. Nairaland does not pay for these kinds of topics, I am starting a YouTube channel soon.

let me make you a promise, there's not a single western "billionaire" in history that attained where they are without any substantial government support. Elon Musk is a direct product and beneficiary of the South African Apartheid system, along with all the White South African billionaires you see today. Elon Musk is a good example of effort meets lots of 'White privilege' and government support in the USA. He and all the rest.

Nobody pays subsidies more than the USA and Western countries geberally, where the head quarters of these organizations are located. The US even pays subsidies on rice, corn, things you never thought possible. Why not poor African populations too?!

Africa can never "be like the West", those are nations built directly and to a great extent on the backs of millions of slave labor, then trillions worth of wealth stolen and gotten through colonialism. It is insanity to even assume you can compare with that.

China is the nation I like to refer to as "the miracle". China, through its own effort and that of its people, lifted about eight hundred million people from poverty. That is more than the population all European countries put together. China today is more advanced and ahead of about all Western countries in most areas and rose from the same level Africa is today forty years ago. Beat that!

If Africa or any single African country must progress we most learn from China, and not the West, definitely not listen to Western tools called the "IMF, World Bank, WTO" and co.

Subsidy on petroleum products in an oil rich and developing nation teeming with a growing population and economy like Nigeria should not even be a question of "if" but "add more". The country grows as businesses and people move, do trade and pay tax and are lifted from poverty.

These Western countries populations are aging and dwindling, they need the trooping skilled laborers from Africa, but this is only one of the reasons they want Africa to remain poor and perpetually in need of "aid" and high interest rate loans from them.

One of the biggest and well organized, widely circulated propaganda on Nigerians and maybe even Africans is the myth that Subsidy is bad. They continue to tell you its bad but non is bold or intelligent enough to ask them why they're the biggest practitioners of it.

#BRINGBACKSUBSIDY!!

The fact we want to normalize fraud in Nigeria just cause it's Paternity fraud is alarming.
What do the people supporting these think the future where men do not trust Nigerian women will look like? If you succeed in stripping the supposed innocence and grace of women what then do you leave behind?

These two women here are like rotten toe nails of the body, leave it attached and soon the whole body becomes like it.

GreatVocalist:
A little digression here.

I think people should learn to use words properly, before using them, to avoid embarrassment.

One of those words is "literally". It seems if people don't use that word in a sentence, then that sentence isn't complete. If you're going to overuse it, at least use it properly.

For example, the writer here says "literally months". The word "literally" means, "expressed in its exact form, not metaphorical or figurative in any sense".

If you say that you were offline for literally months, then you imply that the word "months" in that context is figurative, which of course isn't what you were trying to communicate. Therefore, the word "literally" was absolutely unnecessary in that sentence.

The word "literally" is used in cases that seem figurative, but can actually be expressed in a real sense. For example, you can say "he literally kicked the bucket".

Using the word in this context would help the reader understand that you're not trying to say that the person died (which is the actual meaning of the sentence), but that he really kicked the bucket. The word "literally" is performing its function here. See?

English dey sweet, but make we learn to use words properly. Sorry for stating this here, and it's probably unnecessary, but I've seen this too often. I think it's okay to correct people on these things, to avoid embarrassment.

For someone who neither his father nor mother is British and you only see one "complex" mistaken use of word in a long post, I am happy so far. But you're right, I use the word too much even I try to limit it. Thank you.

I decided to post this as I noticed a total mental, emotional and general transformation about myself after being off Nairaland for literally months. first long time off since I discovered the forum more than a decade ago. Maybe you too can learn something.

- NIGERIA--- Firstly not reading real time news about Nigeria and knowing what goes on in the country and what happens or doesn't has made me realize it is Nigerians and there "leaders" that are the biggest problems with a very negative view point about everything and each other. The opportunities everywhere are very immense and with a population of well over 200 million there are no limits and only very few can match the market . Being too engulfed with Nairaland has a way of brainwashing you to believe you're better off leaving Nigeria and life is better anywhere else but here.

-TRIBAL AFFILIATED SENTIMENTS--- I just bought a business from an Igbo person, he trusted I would do better and trusted me from Kaduna State even more than two other interested candidates who're of his tribe, maybe even same State of origin. Consciously or unconsciously every Nairaland members is almost far gone on tribal bigotry, every. And I have learned the most ignorant but very dangerous people are tribal bigots and jingoists. Nairaland recruits them and sustains them, they're so far gone they would never know how much.

- SELF HATE --- The most racism on Black People you can find is among Nairaland members, nobody hates Black people in general and Africans in particular like Nairalanders and Nigerians. What makes it overwhelming is they themselves are both Black people and Africans. The self-hate and self-demeaning nature is so shocking I begin to wonder "should I fight the Whites and Asians against racism and educate them about African and Black people's history or fight and educate fellow Nigerians first?"

Coupled with the fact the White-worship on Nairaland is something I've never seen anywhere else other than among other Nigerians in person. Everyone want some kind of White-approval online I begin to wonder "are they writing this comment or post for some foreigners here? "

- "GENDER WARS"--- One of the most pitiable state you can be in is being a gender warrior and I thought only young guys here are gender warriors till I realize even married women here too seem to engage in it and by extension looking like they disdain their so-called "husbands", and I pray the singles just remain that way so as not to burden someone else with such unfounded venom. I pity and I fear!
Nairaland promotes, encourages, sustains and feeds on the hate of the other gender you're not one of. It seems like only for laughs but it is actually pitiable, sorry state of mind.

-THE STATS SHOWS HOPE --- I am satisfied when I looked at the Nairaland stats and saw that a majority of the members no longer come online, with less than 1,700 online at any given time of day, it shows majority are tired and want no part in what seems to be comfortably pushed.

I think Nairalanders most realize you can never win the internet, and it is not healthy for any aspect of your life this intense internet negativity you project but it takes from you more than you know and far more than you will ever admit.

Trust me, I very much know. Better luck!

It seems this is the real example of a sane society

This is an example of a fast aging and dwindling society. A dying civilization and they themselves know it.

AjalaJ:
Yes you read that right.
The Japanese police have been doing literally nothing these days.
The reason behind this is the ever decreasing crime rate in Japan.
Let me tell you some facts here:
The crime rate in Japan has decreased to negligible amount in last 13 years.
On an average, there is less than 1% chance of crime for every 100,000 people in Japan.
There was only one incident of murder last year in Japan. Yes just one!
The most important element of police power, though, is not authority to search, but authority in the community. Like school teachers, Japanese policemen rate high in public esteem, especially in the countryside.
The police in Japan are trained in calligraphy and Haiku composition.
Police in Japan do carry a gun but they rarely use it. Instead they use their black belts in judo or police sticks. In an average year, the entire Tokyo police force only fires six shots.
15,000 koban "police boxes" are located throughout the cities.
Police koban box officers spend time teaching neighborhood youth judo or calligraphy.
The officers even hand- write their own newspapers, with information about crime and accidents, "stories about good deeds by children, and opinions of
residents."
Tokyo is the safest city in the entire world.
From: Vishal Bhatia, Quora

I don't like commenting on Nairaland but sometimes I feel really dissapointed in the amount of uninformed and poorly educated and rational minded people on here.
"Lack of religion" or them being "white" is far from the answer you're looking for.

Have you also asked why Japan, like many of these "peaceful" countries have the highest suic*de rates and depression and anxiety rates more than anywhere else by a wide margin?

Do you know what Japanese old people specifically go through and making their age range have even higher suicide rates on average?

It is a known fact that younger people and groups are more likely to be involved in crime. Nigeria, like all African countries, have the youngest population in the world together with African countries also being more recent. of course you'd find more vices in these places!

Japan, like about all so-called "developed countries", but Japan especially have the oldest populations in the world. The country is literally slowly dying out and fast aging to oblivion. Most of these countries leaders are begging their citizens to have more children, they're ready to pay money to be where Africa is in terms of population and demographics, something both we and the heads calling themselves "leaders" can not see and don't know how to take advantage of.

Not all that glitters is gold, appreciate your position and then you can see that it's an advantage. these countries have the most brutal history so they're not ignorant or immune to criminal tendencies, they have set the standards to raw crime. Something very unfathomable is currently happening to them.

All of their leaders have come out publicly to beg they have more children, they have special packages and incentives for pregnant women and even men with pregnant wives. Italy, France, the UK, Japan, China, South Korea, Iran, the US and Canada are solving it with mass immigration in, Russia, even North Korean leader cried on live television begging for more children. You name them, all of them.

by 2050 Africa will have about 40% of the Young people in the whole world, it's Africa's time only if we realize it. Reason why they're forcing down lgbt down our oesophagus, they don't want it like this.

We saw Nigerians tearing and damaging their passports after the presidential elections some months ago in anger. And there's something similar about many Nigerians leaving the country and those still researching where to immigrate to. They're obviously not broke or generally unemployed or underemployed, at least according to Nigerian standard. Many have more savings than a majority of Americans, trust me I have done the research.

But Nigeria will never ever be developed and will always fluctuate in a static as long as the skilled professionals and so-called middle class keep running away from the country. And according to American statistics Nigerian immigrants are among the most successful and also educated.

These people do not also leave or want to leave the country because they're particularly doing very bad. MANY NIGERIANS RELOCATE OUT OF THE COUNTRY AS A FORM OF PROTEST

Instead of staying back and forcing change, and being the change themselves, joining and supporting unions and having a principle and moral fortitude to enact incorruptiblity they instead flee the country and hope the rest still left behind do the changing.

FLEEING THE COUNTRY AS A FORM OF PROTEST is not honorable or wise, it is not a "power move". It is a result of a decaying society, weak and cowardice action which still manifests itself in the countries they relocate to, which is showcased by the weak Nigerian passport and the many restrictions, embargoes and harassments on Nigerian travellers and Nationals.

There are no coincidences that a country is led by the people who represent them, no shallow and corrupt country will magically have upright and selfless visionary leaders. Leaders are only a reflection of the general population and they show their true selves even abroad.

The Tinubu government have just approved the GMO corn into Nigeria and of course one should not be very surprised, this is only a first phase in the selling off of Nigeria to Western imperialist CAPITALISTS! It is no surprise for the same reason Tinubu was ready to plunge West Africa in a war that as we have seen now is very avoidable and even beneficial to the region and Africa at large. Tinubu and his people are only a glimpse of the WESTERNIZED AFRICAN.

But the reality of the situation is we've been in contact with the West for literally centuries, China only started trading proper with Africa about two decades plus and have superseded the USA and the EU combined by almost five folds. China's at almost 300 billion dollars, in only over two decades people. Africa is not a potential mutual trading ground for the West, except lopsided deals and exploitations.

The West is a CAPITALIST society and they will always see Africa as their sphere of influence and control, it was Africa's free labor that Kickstarted their industrialization in form of slavery, it is Africa's resources that sustains their industries and nation in form or colonialism and now NEOCOLONIALISM. There's an active cry and panic in the West against the population increase in Africa as against the fast decline in literally all Western countries. A small African population means easy control of the people and by extention the continent and its resources. I digress!!!

Russia, China, India, Australia, these are only a number of countries but significant ones that have banned GMO foods for consumption in their countries, except cotton which is non consumable. These are countries that have literally been funding decades of research on the GMO but have still largely or totally rebuked its importation in their countries.

| There was a time the West used the argument that h*mos*xuality is "only between consenting adults". Today these groups are holding completely naked "parades" on the streets, teaching it to children, and putting children, not yet able to recite the ABC, on the surgery table for a "gender change". Today they're known as "lgbtq+++++". And outrightly forcing other countries to accept it, even the Catholic Church and its Pope.|

The West always has an agenda, and when they willingly export it to Africa we most question it and continue in scepticism. We have many prosperous countries to learn from like China and even Russia, with systems that work. WESTERNIZED AFRICANS AND NIGERIANS ARE FREELY DELIVERING US TO THE WEST, JUST LIKE DURING THE AGES SLAVERY!

But yes, GMO is very bad and capitalism is all about making profit no matter who it hurts, especially if it concerns Africa. They want total control of our food and even pushing for the privatization of common water in many African countries as we speak. Come On!

Justiceleague1:

May God have mercy on you.
Because of you,the heathens have found a way to cast aspersion on the most high God. May God have mercy on you.

So who are the "heathens"? And who is the God you're talking about? Differently not the God who's the creator, because you follow men and identity and you do it lacking of conscience and discernment.

I always try to start posts by telling a little about my own experiences. But for months now I don't frequent Nairaland and I will say, there is no bigger medicine to the mind and soul of a person than staying off Nairaland. And staying away from news about Nigeria in general does wonders to a person's personal life, general progress and mental state.

My main issues here and why I decide to put this here is to make us reason and question our own humanity and beliefs.

So since the Israeli vs Palestinian conflicts started many Nigerians, specifically Christians have been siding with the Israelis, even some Pastors like Enoch Adeboye (unsurprising considering his poor judgment) has already jumped on the band wagon of supporting the Israel state immediately. But let us change perspective a little and consider another opinions.

I am from Kaduna State, you might be an Igbo, or a Nigerian Christian who's been ravaged and dealt with by either the Fulani terrorists or the Nigerian army. Let's look at the actions of the Nigerian army in the South East where they usually respond immediately after the killing of a soldier or two and kill people and burn down villages. My dear Christians or Igbo fellows, what do you say about that? Is that justified? Oh well!!

Growing up as a Christian in Southern Kaduna every time there are conflicts in the Middle East and specifically with the Israel State we always see and hear outcries from the Muslims. They'd write things like "free Palestine", "down with Israel". Kaduna State Christians would be on the opposite side praying and cheering for the Israelis.

But as a practical Christian I always wonder even as a child, the Bible says the death and resurrection of Jesus has made us all his own and God's children when we believe and are Baptised. Then how are these people in Israel the only and true people of God? What about us who worship him in spirit and in truth and who claim to know him?

At the start of the conflict some months ago I was on the side of the Israelis till I look into the plight of the Palestinians and I heard the narratives of the South Africans, who where in the same position as the Palestinians some few decades ago. Victimized and put in reservation camps and heavily policed, beaten and killed like nothing, their freedom fighters like the Hamas, considered terrorists. The White Apatheid regime was heavily supported by the same people supporting the Israelis today, the West, Europe and the USA and even the Israelis supported the Apatheid regime. Ironically the same people on the Palestinian side like the Russians, the Iranians, the Chinese etc, supported the Black South Africans.

Currently more than ten thousand Palestinian children, women, disabled, elderly and men have already been killed, and counting. TEN THOUSAND IN ONLY LESS THAN TWO MONTHS! The Arabs have a big fault, in fact they're not innocent. But the majority being dealt with are the average Palestinians.

These same Jewish people benefited the most in the enslavement of Black people, and these same people are sterilizing Black women, specifically the Ethiopian Jews so that they won't give birth to Black children and affect their demographic. These people are not the people of the God me I serve. These Jewish people today are not the people of God in the Bible. These brazen and bold unashamed blatant retaliatory acts is not one for those who fear God.

There are different and more peaceful ways of solving these issues, but the People claiming Jewish today do not want peace till they wipe out and remove all other non Jewish from their homes. These same brutish, and inhumane people are preying on the emotions and beliefs of Christians world wide to continue in the acts of shedding blood irrespective of age, gender or civilians involved. They've blocked the hearts and minds of people into supporting their wickedness.

As a Christian, I know the words of God through Jesus Christ, and this is not it. I refuse to believe we serve the same God that'll clap for acts done by people like these!!!

With this news is it time for Seun and Co. to apologize to me? I have been trying to make posts and comments like this on Nairaland since last year but every time I try they seem to have set a bot to delete all of it without a single person even reading.
People world have been "slumping and dying" that should call for concern and questioning.

Now that it's coming out they are allowing it. Nairaland should stop being authoritarian, tyrannical and shutting people off, but still pushing bigotry to the fore.

And it is also time for people to apologize to Pst Chris, Pst Oyedepo and other Christian leaders.

There has never been good times in Nigeria. From the second the British flag was lowered on October 1st 1960, and the Nigerian flag hoisted up, Nigeria has declined. Today, Nigeria is a monumental disaster of a country, and its only future is eventual disintegration. Things have from bad to worse to worst to worstest, if there is such a word

However, Nigeria's best times was when Igbos were in charge. Zik became President of a country with 3 Regions, a 4th Region created in 1963, all 4 Regions controlling their resources, contributing to the centre, progressing at their own pace and engaged in healthy competition

Like almost every country in Africa at the time, Nigeria experienced military coup that resulted in the Army boss, General Ironsi, assuming power. Democracy was lost, however, Ironsi kept the 4 Regions he met and allowed them resource control. Some propagandists say he destroyed federalism with decree 34 but these are people who never read the decree to realise it was just a civil service matter

Ironsi died in another coup 6 months later and Gowon took over. Gowon enacts Decree 14 that abolished all 4 Regions Nigeria had, created 12 new states, and followed this up with Decree 15 that abolished resource control, thus taking Nigeria 8nto full blown unitary rule. All this was a calculated move to make the North masters of Nigeria. In retaliation, Ojukwu declared the Eastern Region Biafra and a civil war followed

After the civil war, Nigeria had a period of huge oil sales that were wasted on white elephant projects and corruption

Murtala Mohammed ended Gowons 9 year rule and increased Nigerias unitary rule by increasing the number of States in Nigeria to 19. Five more coups would follow with each military ruler embarking on state creation, started by Gowon, until we got to 36.

Today, Nigeria is world poverty capital, 8th most insecure country on earth, and one of the most corrupt.

Nigeria has never known good times, but its best times were Zik and Ironsi times.

Thank you very much for this post. I am not Igbo but from Southern Kaduna, and I have been offline for weeks now before seeing this post and decide to log in.

I have been going into the problems of Nigeria and after discovering it I will assure you today that Nigeria will soon or later split into many nations. If you go through my posts right from the first you'll find out I am almost never wrong about my assertions, everything.

I continue to prepare in spirit for a civil War in this nation and things are perfectly working towards that, if you have eyes you too can see. I am only happy now that the Igbos will have no small amount of allies and partners in the next crisis to come, Nigeria's regions and people are more aware now.

Now I do not pray for things bad but we all of us deep down know where Nigeria is heading, it no secret. The North is likely dividing into three countries, the South about the same number. I only wish we can partition the country now in times of so-called peace, which will make it easier to do. Than in times of crisis making it even hard.

Something important will happen in a few time or more from now which I might try and post about and then you can be sure the time is come.

I know many here talk and respond more than they think, read and comprehend. But in all your doings try watching these videos.

I cam across a post on front page about the French President claiming without them there wouldn't be Francophone countries. I watched the video on YouTube before seeing it on front page.

I became very disheartened reading comments from Nigeria supporting such claims from the enslaver and colonialiser. For more than half a century it has been slavery, colonialism, neocolonialism, racism, subjugations on Africans and Black people. What is more surprising is how some have not asked "why can't the Europeans, Caucasians and Westerners just leave us alone?" Why don't they want to leave Africa even as we've asked them to leave, even now?

The richest man in recorded history is a Black man from the old Mali empire. Mansa Musa was about twice as wealthy as the most richest man today. If Africans don't learn their history, if Africans don't know themselves and their capabilities, if we don't believe what we can do and achieve then what is live.

Should we continue to carry on this lying notion of a "White savior"?. There is a writing at the door into an ancient Egyptian king's tomb which read "KNOW THYSELF"!

The most corrupt country in Africa is talking of world power, where will you start from, we re still battling with 18th century challenges, the only oil producing country in the world without functional refineries for the past 15years, very funny

Today is Sunday, but I am still busy working while typing this. I would have gave you a free writing of how far more corrupt your lords are than Africa. I tell you facts that will blow your mind.

Everything you know about corruption will be questioned if I open your eyes my friend. You have not seen or known corruption till I expose it to you.

Solsix:

You are local standard indeed

Yes, have you not heard?

Who's noticed that the West can not and would not have survived without us? Africans as slaves built the West economy, Africans as colonial slaves with our resources built the West industrial revolution, Africans as neocolonial slaves keep the West moving today.

We are in lack so that they can swim in plenty. Think!
