mrkingshok:CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHAT THIS ILLITERATE IS ON ABOUT? Your biggest problem is ignorance and lack of education. |
mrkingshok:YES, FOR A COUNTRY LIKE NIGERIA WITH AN ANNUAL BUDGET OF 50 BILLION DOLARS, 1 MILLION DOLLARS IS CHICKEN CHANGE. No wonder you were paid a token to fool yourself online like this... IDIOT.YAWNNN.... Nigeria making money and borrowing is a stupid lie. How much is our GDP even worth compared to that of the Turkish economy that it's send such amount of money to oga?YOU'RE AN ILLITERATE TOUT. What more to add? NIGERIA'S ANNUAL GDP IS APP 500 BILLION DOLLARS. TURKEY'S IS 800 BILLION DOLLARS. YES, THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA WILL OFFER HELP. DID YOUR BIBLE OR KORAN TEACH YOU TO HELP THOSE IN DISASTER ONLY IF THEIR COUNTRY IS NOT AS RICH AS YOURS? |
mrkingshok:Actually, no, your illiterate. The Turkish govt will not announce it on television that Nigeria sent a million dollars. Many other countries have sent them money and help, and they don't announce it. Plus nobody CARES what a low life hateful beast like you thinks about helping his fellow human beings in an Earthquake disaster. WHEN YOU REACH HELL, YOU AND SATAN CAN DISCUSS THAT ONE. |
mrkingshok:Actually, you illiterate donkey, that Nigeria borrows money doesn' t mean she earns no money of her own. YOU PEOPLE ARE SO UNEDUCATED. YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING. You actually think we borrow because we have no money! ![]() |
mrkingshok:You are a brainless dunce. Oya, go and ask Turkey to return the money we sent them, because you are hungry. ANIMAL. YES. IF NIGERIA IS IN EXISTENCE, AND ANOTHER COUNTRY SUFFERS A NATURAL DISASTER THAT KILLS 50,000 PEOPLE, ANS MAIMS ANOTER 100,000 PEOPLE, NIGERIA WILL SEND HELP. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY INHABITED BY BEASTS LIKE YOU. |
Judek2:YOU'RE A BUNCH OF ILLITERATES TYPING RUBBISH. NIGERIA EARNS BILLONS OF DOLLARS A MONTH FROM OIL AND GAS, AND HAS AN ANNUAL BUDGET OF 50 BILLION DOLLARS. SO HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU CALCULATE THAT THE 1 MILLION DOLLARS IT GAVE TURKEY CAME FROM ''BORROWED MONEY''? BY THE SAME TOKEN EVERY MONEY GIVEN TO ANY COUNTRY BY ANY COUNTRY IS ''BORROWED MONEY'' SINCE EVERY COUNTRY BORROWS MONEY! ILLITERATES. |
mrkingshok:No, it is your dumb, idotic brain that sees an entire nation as a ''man''. Turkey is not a ''man''. It is filled with 85 million human beings, rich and poor, who need help after suffering a massive Earthquake. Nigeria is not a ''man''. It is filled with 220 million human beings, rich and poor, who have the capacity to show human sympathy to a foreign nation that's suffered a tragic natural disaster. |
Xcelinteriors:You are very stupid and brainless. Imagine you were an earthquake victim trapped under rubble in your wretched house, about to perish, and then countries like Sierra Leone, Gambia, Somalia, and Ethiopia started sending in money to help pay for your rescue efforts. Would that be a bad decision by them? |
frog12:Every country on Earth borrows money. The USA itself owes 30 TRILLION dollars. More than any other nation. That you borrow money to supplement your national income doesn't mean you turn heartless when your fellow humans suffer a horrific natural disaster that kills 50,000 people. Most of you carry these religious labels around like 'Christian' and 'Muslim', but in reality you're GODLESS in your outlook. |
Chetas81:50,000 humans like you were crushed to death in an Earthquake in another country. Show some humanity, sympathy, and civilization and stop being a mindless beast. |
Horus:50,000 humans like you were crushed to death in an Earthquake in another country. Show some humanity, sympathy, and civilization and stop being a mindless beast. |
Nazgul:Intriguing permutations. |
This election is getting very interesting. |
lol |
Himtulie247:It depends on the gravity and volume of Obi votes. If he garners millions of votes more than his closest rival, and has the required national spread, no one can stop him. |
Hezzyluv:You have a point there. |
As results from across Nigeria pour in... We're getting a much clearer picture. This Is starting to look like a Landslide Victory for Peter Obi. Anyone else agree? It seems the pre-election polls were more accurate than previously thought. Amazing. |
EnterpriseMan:But if everybody Japas like you, who will remain in the nation you're praying for? We need to stay here and fix this country for our children. Even the abroad sef dey fear me these days with all this Russia, US, Ukraine wahala. Imagine you dey there dem come begin nuclear war? ![]() |
Akwamkpuruamu:Are you serious? That's a rather drastic move for mere election result. What if the new leader is actually quite effective? |
azpekuliar:So basically speaking, you see Japa as the solution? |
dustmalik:Funny guy.. ![]() |
Guys, If Peter Obi Loses Today, What Do We Do? ![]() How do we take back our country as Obidients? What is the long-term agenda, just in case it doesn't go well for Odogwu today? |
Djele:Forget that thing. Election will come and go, and a winner will be announced. Nothing go happen. All man go back to your work! |
‘Godfather of Lagos’ is The Man To Beat In Pivotal Nigerian Election Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains frontrunner for president but a new voice has captured the youth vote The posters lining the roads of Lagos show the face of a smiling, bespectacled 70-year-old above a slogan promising renewed hope. Vote for Bola Ahmed Tinubu, pedestrians and drivers negotiating the chaos of the Nigerian commercial capital are told. Vote for peace, justice, unity.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/feb/24/godfather-of-lagos-is-the-man-to-beat-in-pivotal-nigerian-election |

That 'distribution of cannibalism' map though.... You have to wonder 'why just the Igbos'? Why is that they alone have that tradition of cannibalism? It's an interesting cultural question. |
Givemehope:lol |
cmikel:OBI TEAM IS BAD MARKET. INTERNET CANDIDATE. |

Was colonization on the whole good for Africa? Answer by Barry Tuck As a white South African, I am a descendent and benefactor of the Europeans who colonized Africa, and I can emphatically say NO! Colonization was the worst thing to ever happen to the people, cultures, societies, land and economy of Africa. To begin with, I’d like to talk about a commonly peddled myth - that being the one relating to the primitive and savage Africa that the colonizing Europeans “discovered”, civilized and then developed. Of course, much of this commonly accepted history has been written by those same colonialists, but the truth is that large portions of Africa were not that far behind Europe at the time that Europeans began arriving. For instance, below is a drawing of Benin City in present day Nigeria prior to its destruction by the British in 1897. Benin City circa 1678. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EZVDOuLWoAMQuZd.jpg In the 14th Century, Timbuktu was 5 times the size of London and the richest city in the world. The city was the capital of the Mali Kingdom which was ruled by Mansa Musa, the richest person in history. It is estimated that his personal fortune would equate to about $400 Billion today. Mansa Musa. At its peak, the Mali Kingdom was producing more than half the world’s supply of gold and salt and was home to the Library of Timbuktu and to 25,000 university students. National Geographic recently referred to Timbuktu as “the Paris of the mediaeval world, on account of its intellectual culture.” Let's also consider the Tanzanian city of Kilwa, which was described by a visiting Arab scribe as “one of the most beautiful and well-constructed cities in the world, the whole of it is elegantly built”. Kilwa dated back to the 9th Century and was at its peak in the 13th and 14th Centuries. Its architecture included Gothic arches and intricate stonework, and it was a major trading hub that minted its own coins. In 1505, Kilwa (along with the city of Mombasa) was destroyed by the Portuguese. The Sultan’s Palace in Kilwa https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EDYPIN4X4AALmW0.jpg Some of the surviving ruins of Kilwa today. The ruins are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Other major civilizations that existed prior to the colonial invasion, to name a few, included the Kingdom of Loango, the Kingdom of Kongo, the Ghana Empire, the Kingdom of Zimbabwe and the Asante Kingdom, the capital of which was Kumasi. Kumasi was described as follows: “The townhouses of Kumasi had upstairs toilets in 1817. Promenades and public squares, cosmopolitan lives, exquisite architecture and everywhere spotless and ordered, a wealth of architecture, history, prosperity and extremely modern living.” The Manhyia Palace in Kumasi. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EP8Hyr_WsAIxtAo.jpg Doesn't really look so primitive and uncivilized, does it? These are just a tiny sample, but the reality is that hundreds of relatively developed African cities and civilizations were destroyed by invading Europeans in an endeavor to conquer the people and exploit the rich resources that the continent is bestowed with. As a result, most, if not all, of this rich cultural history was lost, destroyed and forgotten, and the narrative of “advanced Europe” bringing industrialization, civilization, trade and other developments to primitive Africa became the accepted truth. What colonialism did was reduce the African people to the role of the conquered, nothing more than second class citizens at best. And that's without touching on slavery or the extremes of colonial oppression such as the barbarism perpetrated by the Belgians in the Congo Free State or the terrible crime of Apartheid that was perpetrated in South Africa during the death throes of colonialism… The truth is that the intrusion of European colonialists did not lead to the transmission of technology, ideas or knowledge to the indigenous African population. Rather, it destroyed all existing forms of civilization and development that had been accomplished by the indigenous people, and then further hindered Africa’s development by expatriating surplus from all production activities - minerals, precious metals, wood, ore, ivory, furs, gemstones, fuels, crops and other raw materials. The roles of Africans were reduced to basic labour jobs which never stimulated technological advances or improved means of production. Without colonialism and its consequences, Africa would more likely have developed at a similar rate to Europe and other regions through trade, knowledge-sharing and a move towards industrialisation in line with the Industrial Revolution. The despicable offshoots of colonialism - slavery, racism, eugenics and genocide - may not have occurred (or at least, not to the level that they did and that they still exist today). More importantly, Africa’s riches would have been used to enrich the people and develop the infrastructure of this continent. So no, on the whole colonization was not good for Africa. On a personal level, as a beneficiary of the privilege that has been bestowed upon me courtesy of whatever cosmic lottery saw me born with white skin, I am doing my best to right the wrongs of the past by trying to empower and uplift those who have not been given the same opportunities that I have. I don't know how much of a dent I'm making, but I'm trying. https://www.quora.com/Was-colonization-on-the-whole-good-for-Africa |
