The above was taken directly from Google and http://www.thisnation.com/question/040.html

Next time you argue online make sure you know what the f**k you are talking about!

Lmao... From the wonderful link you posted, it's a "RULE" or "ORDER" issued to "Executive Branches" NOT the entire U.S. that are subjected to it, having a force of law on executive agencies and NOT binding on the entire U.S. like Obamacare does... Carefully read my post again before spewing gibberish. I asked you, if you claim it's law, why hasn't Obamacare been repealed? I mean Trump and Republicans HATED Obamacare, Trump signed an EO on Friday afternoon he was sworn in: Why hasn't Obamacare been repealed if it's law?

Obamacare is A LAW that affected ALL U.S. States where several republican states litigated all the way to SCOTUS, and IRS was taxed with the responsibility of deducting up to $2,500 for noncompliance. This law affects 300+ million Americans in 50+ states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories. THIS IS A LAW even the Supreme Court upheld it. An Executive Order only affects Executive Agencies of which their main boss is the president. An EO does not affect 300 million + Americans or the 50 + states, or other branches of govt. Next time, read a book, know the difference before you talk rubbish.

abbey621:



Executive order is a directive which has the same capabilities as a law. Forget the grammatical jargon, I'm telling you exactly how it functions. Next, visa refusal based on just religion is against the U.S Constitution and even the strongest Republican won't support a violation of the Constitution. Stop making it sound as if Trump is going to make it impossible for all Muslims to come to the U.S, even he is not that crazy!

Really? Has the same capability as law? So why is Obamacare is very active? Heck why do taxpayers have to pay tax penalties for not having Obamacare? No need arguing with you, believe whatever you want. You would wake up one morning to realize that you're the one yarning jargon.

abbey621:


You are so backward thinking! I'ma Muslim, I'm a Nigerian and I'm also a U.S Citizen. I voted for Trump and I'm proud of it. If you had any clue how a real democracy works you would know people can't be deported or refused visas based on religion alone. Even the law that Trump signed only subjects certain Muslims to extreme vetting before they can be given visas, it does not ban them; educate yourself!

First, if you're a U.S. Citizen and you claim to know how democracy works, then you would know that President Trump is the head of the executive, and what he signed is NOT law, but an Executive Order.

Second, Congress is the only arm of govt that makes laws, the president does not make laws but uses an EO to temporarily suspend or resume an activity that often deals with executive branches until Congress decides what to do with it. For instance, on his first day in office, he signed an EO to repeal Obamacare, well, Obamacare is still very existent because he cannot suspend it. As a matter of fact, Republicans are actually reconsidering whether to allow states decide if they want to keep it or not.

Finally, you're mixing two things: deportees and refusal of visa. These are two agencies: Deportation is strictly the responsibility of the Dept. Homeland Security in which USCIS falls under, while Visa is the responsibility of the State Dept. The president has the Constitutional right to issue an EO to the state department (consular affairs) on U.S. Visa Policy. Whether this EO is constitutional or violates INA is a different story, and considering that we have a republican controlled house and a soon-to-be conservative Supreme Court, anything is possible. Visa or not is irrelevant because when you arrive to the U.S., the person who decides your entry is the CBP agent at airport.

Lilimax:
Don't be deceived?
If you're a Nigeria Muslim, try applying for an American Visa then you'll know that President Trump is not smiling.

This won't affect Muslims alone, Christians from other nations should gear up because it would affect them as well.

And you that's living where snow falls should've known that snowfall is not a bad weather. It's part of the climate, and when it doesn't snow in a year, there will be drought. Though it's extremely cold during winter, but that doesn't make snowfall bad weather. It's like saying rainfall is a bad weather. And if you care to know I live in a country that has a lot of snowfall in a year

And excessive rainfall that cause massive flooding isn't a bad weather right? Normal wind is okay until it mixes up with rain and you have a hurricane destroying everything in its path. Weather changes have an "acceptable limit", until it becomes excessive, if you live in an area where it snows, apart from chilly temperatures, you would know that some people suffer massive damage to property or even fatal loss of life due to snow or frostbites. It's not the snow that kills, it's the ice formation that has sent many to their early grave. So therefore, depending on where you are, snow can actually be a bad weather condition.

I always tell any svpid woman I'm dating when discussing any topic related to marriage that I "goingape" will never spend more than 10k on any marriage and if your parent disagree let he/her marry you

no time to waste money on any svpid woman period!

Is this for dowry only or including the drinks and gifts that come with it? If it's dowry only, that's fair enough, but if it's everything included, then you're wasting your time. You're not the only man, you would remain single.

chronique:



I know your type... Always too forward and never having sense. Where I come from,nobody celebrates traveling out as an achievement and it has nothing to do with status or money or whatever;it's just who we are. Yes,first time experience would make you take pictures,record videos and all that... But definitely not shouting "mama,I don touch snow,those way say we nor go travel,we don finally travel"... Dude already achieved bigger things by signing a 4million dollar deal. If you don't want to be quoted,you should be sensible enough to mind your busniess and not quote me either.

It's pathetic when I read responses like this. There are many wonders of the world that even the wealthiest people still marvel at. I'm sure if it snowed in Nigeria, this wouldn't be any different; however, experiencing snow first hand and naturally reacting to it regardless of how successful he's become shows you that he's true to himself. Whether he shouts "mama I don touch snow" shouldn't be anyone's business since we're in the business of "people being sensible enough to mind their own business".

Mbkite:
I first taught Mathematics while I was waiting for NYSC in 2010 and during my NYSC I taught some Engineering courses in the polytechnic I served. Currently, I am a practising Engineer. I won't say I don't really enjoy my job as an Engineer but, I have discovered over time that I have a keen interest in teaching Mathematics. I really wish to go back to class room to teach mathematics but you know teacher's salary is not encouraging. I love to teach mathematics and don't mind doing it for free alongside my job but, NO TIME.
I need an advise on how to go about this. I need to go back to what I love doing.
Patiently waiting for your responses.
Thanks.

lalasticlala, please I need input. Assist me.

Unfortunately, passion does not put food on the table, neither does it pay your rent, nor does it take care of out-of-pocket expenses. You answered your own question, you can partly tutor in your free time. Other than than, please don't ever think of leaving your job for something "passionate", because someone is right there to fill in your position. Gone are the days we did something we loved, survival first.

Absolute nonsense. Nigeria that is for the rich and poor, how well are the rich treating the poor? How well is the govt for the people serving the people? Again, this is absolute nonsense. Whether he says Biafra is for the rich, so what? That's for you to work hard and be rich. Harvard is for the well-connected individuals, even with an available scholarship, have you seen a poor kid go to Harvard?

You really sound very sad and very pained. Don't go and have HBP over someone's success o, and the sad part is that your opinion is irrelevant to him. That's the one that kills the most, so calm down... Just congratulate him and who knows, yours maybe next.

adanny01:


Yes and the ND environment will bear the brunt for decades while not only Northerners or westerners will suffer, every one will suffer and at the end of the day, the aim will not be achieved.

Unfortunately, that's a costly price paid for the agitation of freedom. To you, the aim is not achieved, but to them, it's is but a successful step. They promised to bring Nigeria to it's knees by cutting oil production by 50%. Well, they're almost at that mark, I mean why would Buhari finance more than 40% of the budget using loans? They promised to make the ND far-from-promising for the IOC's, well they're actually achieving that, heck Nigeria is seen as an unstable nation. The result is Nigeria has been downgraded in the financial market. Any wise leader would listen, because slowly but surely, Buhari cannot fight too many domestic threats at the same time. Nigeria lacks the resource for that now.

Jesusloveyou:
who is going to suffer it most? or who will record the highest casualty.
If we lose 10 army, militant will lose more than 100.
So will the militant be battle ready to lose 1000 militant? and 100s of thousands innocent soul of Niger-deltas citizens

Did you say 1000 militants? You mean like Operation Crocodile...?

Dude forget about these statistics, the militants you think are just mere boys have employed tactical strategies and successfully carried out their operations undetected by the Nigerian army. Do you really think if they were blood thirsty like the Nigerian Army, will you still believe in your statistics?

victorvezx:

Lol, they have being crippling Nigeria for some time now and Nigeria is bleeding because of them. What have u Ipob group done to make Nigeria bleed or cry. Because u people hate far more than the militants, but still yet do nothing to make ur enemies bleed except protesting so ur enemies kill u even more

This is NOT about IPOB, get your head out of your arse... No hard feeling. And even if it were about IPOB, they're already a thorn in your flesh, IPOB torments you day and night, even in your dream such that you cannot have a conversation without mention IPOB. So who's bleeding who? Anyway, that's story for another day, and until then, stop jerking off over anything unrelated to IPOB.

GMBuhari:


I READ THE POST to your disappointment, my comment means if they attack any part of Nigeria there will be consequences

Lmao, again, go back and read the post again, then look at your comment, and then revise your statement. They don't need to attack any part of Nigeria, their prior attacks crippled Nigeria's oil sectors and raised red flags in the oil market signaling Nigeria as unstable. Heck, Nigeria went into recession partly because of unstable oil production and declining oil prices. If Buhari continues, how is he gonna fund the rest of his budget? Oh I forgot he's hoping to drill oil from the North, yet, rely on foreign financial institutions to borrow. More so, how well did "Operation Crocodile" succeed in the ND? Haha, like I said, no need to attack any part of Nigeria, 2017 would be an interesting year, let's see how the year pans out.

Later someone will say that SE cannot survive without oil from the SS or Nigeria, btw, I hope other SE states are also improving because we want all round development.

Chukwumeremeze:


I onced randomly asked a lady (who presumably attested she intensely loved me) whether she would oblige to donate her kidney to her 'would be' hubby in an event where hers is confirmed to being the only available matchable organ, and she replied in a whimsical disapproving attitude saying:

'Ah!! abeg my love no reach that one oh'.

she had no idea I was actually referring to myself.. and of course, i gave her light speed distance.

'love is simply: total sacrifice given infinitely! and that's exactly what's shown here.

You gave her light speed distance, if it were you, would you do the same? Love has limitation, is only God's love that's infinity... End of story.

What's shown here is a woman who shaved her hair because of her terminally ill husband, not a woman donating any part of her organs. There's a difference abeg... Where I come from, when the husband of a young widow passes away, they shave her head. However, some arrogant women would NEVER allow you do such, if these women don't love their husband even in death, what what you say it is?

kogistar:
ipob won't like this news

If you took a second to read, you would know that's exactly the opposite. Heck it doesn't concern Ipob, but hey, it's the opposite of what you're thinking. We warned Buhari about NDA, today the group reduced oil production in Nigeria, even Buhari has to source more than 40% of the budget using loans. 2017 would be a fun year because you have a president who's bent on bringing Nigeria to it's very knees.

GMBuhari:
Cease fire is an agreement between two or more parties, if either party cancels or disputes the agreement, then either party has the right to end the cease fire, and unless Nnamdi Kanu hired mercenaries or bought Nigerian army's standard weapons I don't see them benefitting or winning


We know it's about solidarity with PEJ and GEJ


So continue

Did you bother to read the post at all?

"The world should be assured that, our next line of actions to redeem Operations Red Economy will be unannounced with surely overwhelming signatures to this government and humanity. The world is aware that, the government of Nigeria has ear problems but we never knew that it has taken a detoriating deaf level dimensions. It is only through hard knocks we can speak to the Nigerian government henceforth.

"To our Niger Delta people, we feel your pains from these dashed hopes of a genuine talk once again. All fighters and commands are hereby placed on high readiness in your webs of operations to hit and knock the enemy very hard. That is the way to discuss with a deaf, when he cannot understand your soft massage. We are determined to hit him very hard and deadly that even his eyes will shed blood, his ear will be more deafened and his heart shall quake; when he sees, hear and feel the outcome of our next activities.

Read both parts, does it look like they're gonna cease fire? Continue daydreaming thinking this is about Nnamdi Kanu, 2016 was a wonderful year for Nigeria, words cannot explain what 2017 would look like when oil companies are brought to their knees.

It remains for him to finish what he started: completing Nnewi Cathedral because that bldg. gives off a horror look.

He actually tried considering this is from his personal purse, but this is not in the same class as a stadium, this is more like an open Arena, and a little covering is called a grandstand, and the seats are called bleachers. This is something you would see in very small cities, or similar to universities. They often have a small racetrack for open events, or kids football, etc. No one should misunderstand me, he did well but this is certainly not a stadium.

Obama NEVER visited Nigeria, it's Trump who has hatred for Buhari and has called him out that will visit Nigeria... Continue. Yall love to hallucinate, we'll see because it's only 10 days from today, America will have a new president.

dokiOloye:
I confronted a manager in one of the transport companies when I went to drop som1 @ d park he explained to me that d hike is totally not a matter of greed but based on d fact that lets say in this new year when ppl are going back to their destinations,U usually have to drive empty and come back when U reach those places and if U say U have to wait till U get passengers to come back,there will be shortage of buses to convey ppl back to their base.
So,always reason front and back b4 U criticise.

You don't have to respond to every critic on here, even in the U.S., transportation prices seem to double or even triple depending on the destination during the festive period. All I can tell you is this: whoever doesn't like their model should start their own business and discount prices how they wish. It's fair play, bus transportation isn't one that has a great barrier to entry.

It's amazing to see how people are tripping over themselves over anything Igbo. The last I checked, British Airways more than tripled a flight ticket to Lagos, even British citizens paid the same fare. Domestic flights in Lagos are no exception to this rule, why singling out the Igbo's as an exception is simply amazing. No one forced you to travel home, drive your car and avoid the expense, this is simply business. If you feel the need to help others, simply start your own transportation business and help. I mean, if all the noisemakers on here deployed their Sienna's, and discounted their prices, I'm sure people wouldn't complain..

Wow, from my own Nnewi... Mbanu, she needs to be thoroughly flogged in public. The guy should be thankful because she's the type that would cheat on her husband and even have mouth on top of it. I wonder what her family is saying about this, no sensible parent/umunna would support this nonsense unless they're part of the whole arrangement.

Fremancipation:


They couldn't handle the other news where IPOB on December 22, 2016 was successfully granted powers by UN and ICJ to get into treaties and international relations. They called the Mods immediately to shut it down. The kind fear IPOB gives these people makes me wonder if they just lack the capacity to live on their own?

Really? Do you have a link to this story?

olasubomi007:
I'm Yoruba.. But I really hope Baifras form their own country or whatever.. I want to see how they will survive and cope.. And besides there are legal ways to go about it.. Not just shouting and protesting up and down about Biafra.. You need to work towards it

Very mischievous statement but funny, your prayer is my prayer as well. I would like to see how Nigeria survives without Biafrans.

macaranta:

Not very practical.. Given the number and customer type discos work with.Good luck dragging an ex militant that just bypassed his meter to court or a military officer who's high ranking... Or a native doctor... Or a minister.. The list goes on and on.

I mean they don't have to drag with them, they can have a prepaid meter but at the end of the month, if your usage surpasses a prepaid balance equated to assumed use, simply disconnect the light, deduct it from the prepaid balance and if there's any balance, don't reconnect until paid in full. What I'm trying to say is this

You have a prepaid balance of N1,000 and you supposed consumed N800, supposedly your prepaid should be N200, if after end of the month cycle reading, your usage is valued at N800 but your prepaid balance is still showing N,1000 on your account, simply deduct and if there's a balance, disconnect until paid in full.

This would bring some sought of sanity into the system, most customers are just as guilty as the discos in question.

EternalTruths:


Electricity is not the key but technological education

Many African countries have stable electricity but are not industrialized eg Ghana Libya(Gaddafi Libya) Kenya Ivory Coast etc

The question you should ask yourself is, why are they not industrialized despite having constant electricity.?

Do you get the logic

Technological education is important but this isn't really the key. Every country is good or better than the other in something, we must learn to walk before we run. Technology isn't the key driver to Nigeria's prosperity, we have to improve infrastructures first. If China worried more about building planes and warships first instead of increasing their base manufacturing and strengthening their infrastructural asset, they would not be where they are today. If they neglected capital and towed the path of "spend-as-you-earn", they would not be so financially prosperous to embark on large-scale financial projects like the three-gorges dam that gulped almost $28billion.

Despite the number of foreign engineers that have visited Nigeria to turnaround the refineries or even the electrical distribution network, despite the number of technocrats we have in govt, most of them are foreign trained, why is it that many haven't been able to turn things around? Very simple, the infrastructures are dilapidated or nonexistent anymore. You cannot talk about an advanced economy and thus neglecting infrastructures and CAPITAL while relying primarily on technology and then think you would survive... This is why the U.S. is in it's current state, old infrastructures and no money, it was only a matter of time before companies started sourcing cheaper tech outside the U.S.

Advanced technology is good but it can never be a sole driver to prosperity in any economy...Advanced technology cost MONEY, it's not cheap. It gulped Chinese Aerospace tens of billions of $$$$ just to build their first airplane. Like the gentleman talked about Texas Instrument, erecting a building of such magnitude and specification cost billions of $$$$ and only a few people know how the tech works exactly. Nigeria doesn't have this type of money. Even in pharmaceutical, it's cost about a billion $$$ for R& for a new type of national drug, so right now, borrowed technology would do until we have the infrastructures and the CAPITAL in place to move onto advanced tech.

Handsomecole:
One thing I know for sure is that Nollywood stars don't earn this much for to acquire all these. I don't mean to sound like a hater.

Judging from when she started acting, what endorsements does she have.

Well all nah husstle.

Do you really think Nollywood is her only hustle, there are many silent millionaires (women) in Nigeria, and you don't know about their businesses. It's unfair to think all women will sell their bodies just to afford luxury... Too damn wrong.

victorvezx:

U have no oil in the south east, u can't call 50,000 barrels of oil per day for a population of 40 million south easterners oil

50,000 barrels a day for a population of 40 million people (considering that more than half of these people don't live in the SE) is more than enough for self sustenance. We haven't taken into consideration further exploration to yield more, and if we need oil, we would buy from our neighbors heck, buy it elsewhere. Oil is no longer a gold mine, every tom diccck and harry has oil. That's why Nigeria is struggling to finance her budget because oil is declining at the moment.

victorvezx:

Hahahahahahaha, u re trying so hard to make it huge, while in normal sense, it's just little. How have u being using ur coal, I mean, does Nigeria even export coal? Hell, we hardly even use it. Bro u ain't getting rich from oil because u have non

You see why I said you need to educate yourself... Coal deposits are use to fire power generating turbine that produce electricity. No need to export coal (for pennies) like Nigeria does exporting oil (instead of finished products) when we can export bulk electricity to you..

Did you forget at some point in time, Nigeria imported bulk electricity from Ghana in exchange of Nigeria exporting gas to Ghana... So bro, leave all the hating, the SE would do more than fine if Biafra is achieved.
