Hfu.ck Nigeria

Load Buhari to the Hague first

Trump and Rouhani should calm down.

This decade is my mine. I don't ever want to witness world war. I don't want a Nuclear Winter and numerous cancers. Imagine Russian and China joining the foray. Chai.

We all need to start digging bunkers.

Let's beg Trump

I still think Trump's action is the most stupid thing done.

Now everyone is apprehensive. And he alone is reveling in the act. He wants attention to himself. Or is it that he wants everyone to go down with him? Since there's a possibility of him losing the presidency. Before u support Trumps action just remember that it always takes one man's action to put an entire human community in existential jeopardy

jantofubu:
No one wants war, if it happens then its btw the 2 of them...

Don't be ignorant.

Research properly how the world wars began.


This War, if it becomes world war, will definitely involve Nigeria . Trust me. CHECK UR HISTORY

Hmmm. TRUMP BIKO N

I want to marry in this decade. I don't want to beget Children in a Nuclear Winter Decade (and have 'em all riddled with cancer). Pls Trump temper justice with stew. Abeg

WWIII will be terrible no country except Switzerland won't be rolled in


And

Our reactions to the news out of Iran is pretty telling about where we’re at as a society—as in we’re super bleeped up. How horrible is it that we’re so desensitized to warfare that we make memes and jokes about the prospect of airstrikes and combat? On one hand, I can kind of understand where people are coming from—Trump has made pretty much everything associated with him into a joke, and that includes the White House and all its actions. We’ve been through a confirmed affair with an adult-film star, have been subjected to three-plus years of misspelled and erratic tweets from the leader of the free world and are in the midst of an impeachment trial. It’s all so beyond belief that it kind of makes sense that people would chalk up this latest development to Trump wildin’ out and being unpredictable again.

But the thing is it’s not just Trump wildin’ out. His actions and the actions of the US government have IRL effects on real people. And this isn’t just a tryst with an adult-film star (which is bad but obviously not *that* bad, if Scandal is anything to go off)—it’s potential warfare and the loss of human life. And that’s nothing to scoff at.

StephenBB:
...and she said "Abu Dhabi" ��

Chai...Chimooo....

Infact that one weak me

I observe most Nigerians are sentimental and prefer to hide from the truth. Can you prove your baseless accusation? My dad is Calabarian( akwacross),so of course I have affinity towards that place and people , but Igbo are the other group I love the most out of all the Nigerian ethnicities,especially Anambra and Asaba. And I think that Igbo and Calabarians (Akwacross ) should ideally be close allies . Just because Japan and south korea are allies doesn't mean they should be one country. There'll be power imbalance that's why it's preferable that all ethnic nations be autonomous .
I'm a honest and straightforward person,so i'm sorry if you think my post is anti anyone . I even said in one of my post that Akwacross people are myopic . Yes, the Calabar (Akwacross) are extremely cheated and marginalized.
Although I think igbo benefits from Nigeria in many ways , I support autonomy for all ethnic nations including Igbo . I'm not against Igbo presidency.
I have previously explained why Biafra is baseless and outdated ,and I also gave my advise to Igbo on best course of action. But I observe most Nigerians lack insight .

I am a straight forward person? Really.

I am all for intelligent discuss but subtle disses at a particular ethnic group does no one good esp in this troubling times. In due time, I will post anecdotal aspects of ur pieces that buttress my claim that ur analysis are often bias heavy.

Law enforcement agencies in several major US cities have issued alerts advising residents to be vigilant in the wake of the US strike against Iran’s top general as officials said they were stepping up security efforts at sensitive locations.

In New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced he was consulting with city officials about steps the the police department will take to protect key locations “from any attempt by Iran or its terrorist allies to retaliate against America”.

Los Angeles, home to a sizable US-Iranian population, also issued an alert hours after the US strike on Qassem Suleimani, asking “every Angeleno to say something if you see something”.

The communication was followed by a second Los Angeles police department (LAPD) message, posted on Twitter, that also emphasized there was no current threat.

“While there is no credible threat to Los Angeles, the LAPD is monitoring the events developing in Iran. We will continue to communicate with state, local, federal and international law enforcement partners regarding any significant intel that may develop.”

The warnings came as the US state department urged its US citizens to leave Iraq “immediately”.

The US embassy in Baghdad, which was attacked by Iran-backed militiamen and other protesters earlier this week, is closed and all consular services have been suspended.

Ndi ara...

But I know this assassination will reverberate in Nigeria anyways

Guestlander:
It is absolutely ridiculous my friend. How in the name of God is Nigeria connected to any conflict between the US and Iran?

The Iranian govt will definitely not attack the USA but will lash out at her interests in west Africa, wait till bombs start exploding in us embassies in Nigeria or Chevron installations getting attack and then you would notice crumbs revealing the Iranians

I don’t think we’re looking at a war. I think we’re looking at a series of asymmetric semi-unpredictable strikes against each other’s interests

Over the past three years, the national security decision-making process, by which the pros and cons of US action were once carefully weighed, has been gutted. There are few high-level policy meetings any more. The independent thinkers in Trump’s orbit have left the stage, leaving a president who ultimately trusts his gut instincts above any expert.

It is those instincts that have, more than any other single factor, led the US and Iran to this point, and in particular Trump’s visceral hatred of his predecessor, Barack Obama, and his diplomatic legacy, the 2015 nuclear deal. Destruction of the deal and the economic strangulation of Iran, became a central imperative of Trumpian foreign policy.

Those aides who remain in the president’s orbit have survived because they know how to echo his impulses, his desire to destroy all traces of Obama, and who now share the president’s focus on his own re-election.



The decision to kill Suleimani is likely to have been made with the November vote in mind – how it might play as a punchline on the campaign trail, finally eclipsing perhaps Obama’s conquest of Osama bin Laden.

But it will be a story that will almost certainly be told against a backdrop of more attacks, greater uncertainty and a deepening sense of dread.

There was nothing inevitable about this conflict. Six years ago the legacy of loathing left by the Islamic Revolution began to fade. There was a multilateral agreement to curb Iran’s nuclear programme in 2015, and an unspoken mutual non-aggression pact with Suleimani during the shared campaign against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq.

But with Trump’s abrogation of the 2015 nuclear deal and the collapse of the Isis caliphate, which largely removed a common foe, it was Suleimani who emerged as the US’s arch-enemy.

No one can predict how this will turn out, perhaps least of all the two leading protagonists. Nothing about Donald Trump’s actions in the Middle East until now suggests that Suleimani’s assassination by drone outside Baghdad airport was part of a considered plan.

For its part, the leadership in Tehran has clearly been shocked by Trump’s dramatic leap up the escalation ladder.

The Suleimani killing dispensed with proxies altogether and aimed a direct dagger thrust into the heart of Iranian power.

I noticed that beachlife is oft hiding under the toga of civilised discuss to constantly promote the akwacross peoples as a marginalised lot...

A casual glance at all his pieces reveals a deep seated trait to rope in the igbos as a boorish community. If u think I am lying, take a cursory research on all the pieces he has penned since joining NL

In his long military career, Qassem Suleimani left the Middle East littered with corpses. Now he has finally joined them. His death has closed one gruesome chapter in the region’s endless conflicts, only to open another, which could well prove even worse.

Happy new year Muttleylaff.

Lord....pleasessssss

Let pple enjoy my wealth, lord.

Let me be super wealthy and help my community. Like this guy and Dr Maduka

The woman overstepped boundaries.

But the Pope's apology reflects true leadership.

BuhariAdvocate:
Can your tribe even stand alone? Absolutely no. Let me state it here if Nigeria divided yoruba republic wouldn't make her visa free you will pay before you enter here

It's better to pay for Visa than to remain in this country.

I don't care. Punch gave Buhari a total punch

nwabekeyi:
you are the ignorant person dude, yours is worse because you don’t even know your problem.

All you have been typing is the ignorant, ignorant ignorant. You have not made any meaningful contribution.

Let me school a bit, you lack basic knowledge of philosophical argument. What you have been committing is “fallacy of Ad hominem” we know your likes.

Fallacy of Hominem is a situation when someone attacked the personality of the opponent instead of opposing the argument presented. Such kind of fallacy is usually committed by thick skulls who can’t comprehend “subject topic”

We know your likes, if you don’t have what to say please keep quiet in your ignorance.

It seems I riled you miserably with the adjective...ignorant

athaliya:
The timing isn't right to push for Biafra. Restructuring is a better motion at this point in time. Please think about it logically

Stop this. Stop trying to be a saint or an ostrich burying her head in the sand. Nigeria can never be good. Breaking up is the best option.

There's now so much bad blood between Igbos and yoruba and it is irredeemable. So what's the point. The Sw and SE don't have a common enemy to bury the hatchet on. So stop this advice of yours

With Bubu, it will never ever be achieved. Even if u stretch it to two decades more

I prayed for the SE. Who cares about Nigeria

nwabekeyi:
Tell me any scientific proof for gods and satan.

How can someone who believes a great flood happened and killed several inhabitants just about 4000years ago talk about science and intelligent?

It’s amazing how ignorant you people are and still don’t know it because you want to defend a a book written by archaic humans who had crude understanding of the universe.
You lot are very ignorant and thinks the Holy Spirit(fictional) will help you get wisdom.

I still maintain, you're largely ignorant. But you will come around someday. That's usually how your likes do.

Chai...

From saying that It is not yet up to the ceiling to now shifting the blame.

Obj was right after all..

Anyone with the Presco building pics.?

I do know why I have a fetish for High rises.

I guess I see as a statement of prosperity

rusher14:
Same guy that got jailed 3 years today?

Yes same guy.

But I don't think he deserved it.

Science means doing the extraordinary without all the rigours of ethics

Science is a necessary devil...

Yes it is

The gene editing performed on Chinese twins to immunise them against HIV may have failed and created unintended mutations, scientists have said after the original research was made public for the first time.

Excerpts from the manuscript were released by the MIT Technology Review to show how Chinese biophysicist He Jiankui ignored ethical and scientific norms in creating the twins Lula and Nana, whose birth in late 2018 sent shockwaves through the scientific world.

He made expansive claims of a medical breakthrough that could “control the HIV epidemic”, but it was not clear whether it had even been successful in its intended purpose – immunising the babies against the virus – because the team did not in fact reproduce the gene mutation that confers this resistance.

A small percentage of people are born with immunity because of a mutation in a gene called CCR5 and it was this gene that He had claimed to have targeted using a powerful editing tool known as Crispr which has revolutionised the field since 2012.

Fyodor Urnov, a genome-editing scientist at the University of California, Berkeley told the MIT Technology Review: “The claim they have reproduced the prevalent CCR5 variant is a blatant misrepresentation of the actual data and can only be described by one term: a deliberate falsehood.

“The study shows that the research team instead failed to reproduce the prevalent CCR5 variant.”

While the team targeted the right gene, they did not replicate the “Delta 32” variation required, instead creating novel edits whose effects are not clear.

Moreover, Crispr remains an imperfect tool because it can lead to unwanted or “off-target” edits, making its use in humans hugely controversial. Here, the researchers claimed to have searched for such effects in the early-stage embryos and found just one – however it would be impossible to carry out a comprehensive search without inspecting each of the embryo’s cells, and thus destroying it.

The parents’ lack of access to any kind of fertility treatment might have motivated them to take part in the experiment despite the huge risks to their children, Jeanne O’Brien, a reproductive endocrinologist at Shady Grove Fertility told the MIT Technology Review.

Igbos and garden egg

I like Obj hohaa
