Stop catastrophising this. U.S no send 9ja.
The last time Trump was in, he approved the purchase of weapons used in fighting Bandits which Obama had previously blocked. Downside was that getting to the US was harder.
If Trump decides to look inward and meddle less with the internal system of African nations, it's then left for those nations to pick up and seek opportunities to grow.

On the contrary, I m looking at a potential silver lining maybe? Trump is solidly in putins corner. That's why I said Putin is the new world power. Nigeria has aligned itself with Putin through this BRICS thing.

Do you think this would be more beneficial than our former alliance with the US?

Cyberknight:
Found this hilarious.
Trump has absolutely no interest in Nigeria. The days when Bush and Clinton stopped by to say hello are long gone.

We are still very plentiful and if climate change or geopolitical instability force us northwards, everybody go hear am ,I think

Goke7:
Okonjo Iweala that’s looking for second term as WTO chair may be blocked by Trump, remember he blocked her the other time to emerge but fortune smiled on her as Trump was already on his way out in 2020. It will be interesting to see if madam will be able to scale through this time around unless she nicks it before Trump is sworn in.

Hadn't thought of that. He is isolationist but she is 1 person and will be fine. I m more interested in T-pain remedies

I found this great article which sets out the implications for Africa. Many of the cases also apply to Nigeria. Do have a read. Let me know what you think.

We do have the population . Sadly most of our people are not literate. They would only be suitable for low paid unskilled labour. If we are to harness our superpower as the only part of the world with a high population , Education needs to become a priority,I think.

In other news, anybody watch Bad Enochs first Prime Ministers Questions? I thought she was terrible ,unprepared and snarky? Your thoughts?

I am genuinely fishing for thoughts on how Trumps win will affect Nigeria.

Putin is now in the ascendance, is this good for Nigeria? I know we signed up to that BRICS thing. Will it save the Nigerian economy? And at what cost?

How should Nigeria play this?
*musing*

Gerrard59:
I don't reside anywhere in the West. However, if I am to move to any country aside from China, I am heading to the US. I LOVE Capitalism and economic freedom. The United States is BLESSED. There is a reason Nigerians there out-earn other diasporans. I am obsessed with economic freedom and how I spend the MY MONEY. I don't believe the government or any entity has the right to dictate how to spend my money.

Freedom at last! In Capitalism I Trust! Facts not fats; Figures, not Figos matter in life.

You are in even hotter soup than I thought.

Loooooool,dude. At least there is a bit of money to cushion the deleterious effects of Trump on people in the West. Enjoy your freedom.

Gerrard59:
Donald Trump is coming!

It's a Man's World!

And you are welcome to "your" world. Congratulations and may you get the full effect of it.

Lol, don't hide in the UK o. Move to the US, Mr Man. You need to enjoy your world fully!

He will cut social security and Obama care. That ll be devastating.

Gerrard59:
Trump has been a president. There's an existing record. So, all this "he would do this and that" are baseless to be frank. I've no business with Russia, but denying countries in dire need of loans because they refused to enshrine laws which sodomise men is extremely nonsensical and annoying. At the same time, the same administration lampoons the same countries for obtaining loans from China.

Thank goodness all that nonsense will end.

Commonsense has prevailed!

P.S. The crude talk is what humans are interested and how they operate, not lovey-dovey Olympics opening ceremony Satanic vibes.

Your point is moot as We will find out soon enough what he will do. Na all of us go 👀 am.

It's incredibly naive of you to think any foreign aid comes without strings. It's called "soft power" for a reason.

LGBTQ seems to be your personal bugaboo, lol .
When the US supreme court overturns obergefell, you can move to the US. The UK still supports human rights ,thankfully


Did you know he is going to deport naturalised us citizens too . Round them up, put in camps and deport them. ..

Also he now has absolute immunity for everything he does while president. Mein Gott...it's starting to sink in

Gerrard59:
I'm so proud of him! He's a dogged fighter! Fight to the end! The lies, selective hypocrisy, pontification and biased morality have been so much!

At least, African countries go rest from the subdued pressure of eligibility. Let me be denied loans because of my inability to pay, not because I no gree to fvck another man.

Rather a crude way to talk,I would say. We are not exactly in a beer parlour now,are we?

You seem to think that African countries will benefit from associating with Russia. I am genuinely interested in why you think this? Is he going to give us money? What will he want in return?

He doesn't exactly have a stellar record in respecting human rights. He doesn't like religious people also. He won't stop at LGBTQ suppression. Nope. Are you ready?

BouharryArtikou:
Missjekyll left the chat.

For what kwanu? I don't live over there.

Democracy wins again!

Americans have chosen Donald Trump. They,of course, must have their way.

With Musk as Minister for the economy,rfk as minister for health...yikes,I m holding my congratulations.

Thank God I live faraway ...we need to move closer to the EU.

Who did you vote for ? This one wey im no gree talk,probably Trump

ehizario2012:
😂 😆 You ehn

I wasn't being facetious. They speak Portuguese,French and Spanish. Gorgeous country. some biafrans fled there during the war

BOOOOOOM!

Is that you ,consequences? Are you here for old hunt?

lavida001:
What do you mean by our land ?

You better no your place in the grand scheme of things.

I ll claim whatever i like,my friend. Thank you very much.

ehizario2012:
In this living in UK thread, please is there anybody from Equatorial Guinea here? I want to check something please...

Hard to find as they speak Portuguese. Try asking in Portuguese

dustydee:
You have made some valid points but they still bring a lot of value to the UK. The only reason I will support the scrapping of the monarchy is so that they will feel the effects of what they did to ours too even though it may not have the same effect.

How has Charles personally benefitted you? We pay him rent for everything even for some churches. That was our land in the first place. Communal land . His ancestors stole those lands in the medieval era.

The people want their stuff back chikena


I have more respect for King Felipe VI of Spain.
He arrived to inspect the floods in valencia with the PM.
His people pelted them with mud. PM ran off. He stayed and managed to talk to his people,listening to their pain.

That's not a king who ll charge above market rates for rent. The windsors are a nasty piece of work.

Zahra29:
"We can only dream of the tourism figures for France who famously have no royal family"

That's because the French people deposed and executed their King and Queen by guillotine. Somehow I don't see the same Revolution happening in the UK.

I certainly don't want to kill them. I just want all our lands back and for my taxes to not go to support them anymore. They should go to work like everyone else

dustydee:
What about the hundreds of millions in tourism?

1. Nobody goes to Buckingham to see this greedy family. It's to see the buildings.
2. We can only dream of the tourism figures for France who famously have no royal family.
3. Even if they were the most tourist drawing people on it, the burden they are placing on the people of the UK is too heavy. They need to go.

They are milking much needed funds from our public services. How dare he? Charging 67% more? From a trust that's laying off staff due to lack of funds?

N.B: They are taking a beating in the papers even daily mail commenters are having none of them today. It's about time

We are being taxed heavily to pay for the NHS. This man, who doesn't pay enough taxes, charges exorbitant rent from that same NHS.

"What is he good for?! Absolutely nothing!

lavida001:
This Monarchy system is so 300bc. Heard the royal family own all the lands in England.

Not all of it. Most of it. Charlie also owns all of the sea.
He was just caught charging the NHS 67% more than anyone for an ambulance park.
Yet he pays not a lick of tax and demands millions in yearly allowance .

Thank you cyberknight. Enslaved black person sounds better.

Good call on badenoch ,goodenoch. You literally nailed it.

Badenoch just said Rachel reeves smashed a very low glass ceiling (compared to herself badenoch, I suppose)

Looooolllllll. All of you supporting her will have to bring 1 hegoat to beg this house when she inevitably craps the bed.

And I ll sing i told you so

Just wise have you heard about the selzer poll? How does that make you feel? I m very happy this morning ...Madam President.

Keep kamala and vote harris

ReesheesuKnack:
“When a woman is hell bent on not wanting to celebrate the achievements of a fellow woman, she can go as far as accusing the celebrant of raising so much dust when she (the celebrant) jumped into a pool of water”

Even if Kemi takes a bullet for some people; they will still accuse her (Kemi) of spoiling their white Agbada with her blood.

I celebrated Rachel Reeves and will celebrate Madam President next week. Madam mat pay ...not so much

Zahra29:
Can you share links to any articles or interviews with these pejoratives?

"When a woman is spoiling for a fight, she asks her cowife to give her palmoil to eat her palm nuts with"

That's my answer to you Zahra.

The rest i ll leave to my compatriots .

ukay2:
Congratulations to Kemi and Nigerians

You must be kidding.
She feels maternity leave pay is too high (that 90% of pay for 3 months and 800 pounds per month or so ) and calls me and other Nigerians every name in the book.

She has Nigerian roots but she is no Nigerian as you will soon find out.

Rather than this type of representation, let me remain unrepresented.

justwise:
This country keep surprising me each and everyday as i did not see this coming

I did. She has been a headbanger right from time. Jenrick cartooncleaner was a moderate until recently.

All that ozempic and racism did him no good in the end.
I m very mildly interested in what madam lagos will call us this morning.

She is probably looking at her dictionary.

ReesheesuKnack:
Wait a minute... it appears all sides of the lemon will be squeezed. The OBR mentioned it yesterday.
This morning, Rachel Reeves herself accepted that the Squeeze will be felt by the 'Working People' side of the lemon.
She said that on BBC Radio 4 Today program.

I think the poor will be further suffocated, unfortunately.

I beg to disagree. There is a fiscal drag and some of the employer NI increase might be passed on but this was not a budget of austerity and it looks after the little people and funds infrastructure.

That is enough for me. Chikena

Lexusgs430:
Hope you're following the gradual autopsy of the budget...... Things are not looking too good...... 😂

Loooooolllll. That's not what I m hearing on these streets.

This was not a budget of austerity or budget cuts. You may not like it but the man on the street does and I m very happy with this. Very very very happy.

NB:I am not better off by even 1 penny but stories like in this screenshot is why I do what I do. No apologies. Would do it again.

Lexusgs430:
When you're a non dom, you would react with your wallet..... Cash is very mobile...... 😂📱

They keep saying this but they never leave.
They don't pay taxes anyway ,use public services and manpower then squirrel their money overseas. They will not be missed. Imho

Lexusgs430:
Let the poor breath...... 😁

Exactly. Let me tell you it's a huge sigh of relief on the streets.
Sorry if anyone was hit but people need a breathing space and they just got it.

I am very happy to present this budget to the people of my town.This is what they voted for. Yippee

This is a great article on how to maximise your portfolio into a more tax efficient lean mean machine. I recommend this to everyone.
NOW is the time to get an iSA and personal pension. Labour hasn't touched the CGT on those.

Lexusgs430:
Have you asked business owners.... 😂🙄

That 40bn has to come from somewhere.
We keep going to the same places when we need money,trying to suffocate the poor.

Labour has just chosen to squeeze the other side of the lemon this time. This will play very well on the doorsteps as that's what people voted for.
