I am not here to brag about how we've stood for this our friend.
Stop quoting scriptures to me cos I may know the Bible more than you do.

Acts 8:2
Some devout men buried Stephen, and made loud lamentation about him

shortgun:
Who told you our late friend won't know of all our efforts to give him a proper befitting funeral? The only way to honor the dead is to give them a befitting burial.
A human should never be buried like an ant.
The pyramids of Egypt was erected to honor the dead.
You think you are more enlightened than the ancient Egyptian pharaohs?
Who d hell do you think you are?

cravingmind:
All I see here is that, the friends are all trying to show off, there's money to spend.
You'll notice this from their response to the deceased family.

GigdraftAdvert:
I am impressed by the rate you keep modifying your argument - from they're "not owing any country" to "exchange of bond". It is a valid evidence that the link I shared helped. I successfully educated you. Hurray......! You just don't wish to accept it, and it's fine.

Now, please read more. In no time, you too can eventually become sound. Most importantly, you can somehow subjugate the battle of comprehension that has constricted your grasp to the point you couldn't even tell what debt means as a so-called student of Economics nor discern the difference in "own" and "owe" and spot the fact that I didn't at any point claim the US ran to any country for aid.

Meanwhile, you might want to onboard your flight of fancy, get out of your room and see there are over 3 million Nigerians in the US, and the person you are speaking to might just be one.

Fortunately, I am not genuinely interested in the fallacy expressing you have more information than me, since you're the current US Secretary of the Treasury.

It's been pleasure engaging with you, sir/ma. Have a good one.

Tragically we lost a close friend to the cold hands of death who passed away in a ghastly motor accident.

He was in his late thirties to early forties,unmarried, no child, and a Christian from the North west.

In solidarity, we his friends, proposed to hold a formal wake keep for him at his Abuja residence and promptly began the preparation process. This included securing the services of a DJ and arranging refreshments for the gathering.

Certain members of his family objected to the idea of the wake keep, contending that it was inappropriate for us to engage in partying and funfair following the untimely passing of their loved one. They insisted we limit the gathering to just a public address system and a choir to sing, nothing more.

Some of our friends are threatening to hands-off and withdraw their involvement from everything about the funeral including not attending the burial and allow the family members do whatever that pleases them.
Others are of the opinion that we should ignore the family members and go ahead with our plans since we are going to be paying respect to our late friend and not members of his family.

What do you guys think?

The US doesn't owe any country? Well, it is not in my habit to engage in unproductive, trivial arguments, especially when my supposed counterpart referred me to Google when he couldn't even read past the snippet and research before tagging others "in the wrong".

I'll leave you with a more credible source, maybe that would cure you of your ignorance. However, if I observe your state of injudiciousness is severe, I'll rather not respond to further mentions from you.

MT:
US owes china staggering amount of money 859.4 billion dollars.

US owes other countries as well.

Total US debt is 34 Trillion Dollars.

US is the largest debtor in the world

Countries don't owe like individuals. If I owe you 100 naira for instance and you you are to.pay me 500 naira, you will end up paying me 400 naira because you would have deducted the 100 naira owes to you.

Countries don't operate that way.

oneda:
Who are the US owing more than $100 trillion then?

Artscollection:
This op must be mad!!! Balance the sheet oga, USA is owing china a very huge amount.

GigdraftAdvert:
Meanwhile, US debt recently surged to over $30 trillion, so maybe things aren't particularly falling apart for its loanee after all.

The weather is too hot even in Lagos

Lamido Sanusi got it all wrong this time around because, woman was made to please man and vice versa.

madridguy:
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender is against Christian doctrine so the USA should not be on the list.

muyico:
She knw value of we men!

Abass07:
Great. This is how to sell Nigeria/Nigerians. Not someone saying our youths are lazy.

kokoA:
He is more inspiring in his speech than the former one.

Will you shut that your gutter mouth!

What is it with starting every reply with an insult? Is it part of the good things in America you learned that you're telling us about?

I dedunked the nonsense you put up to misinform and decieve the gullible by talking about one side of America without giving them the whole overview of the country. I can give you links to reports by registered media platforms in America about growing Poverty, Homelessness and violent crimes in major cities in that country. And here you are talking about Google and denying the obvious just to decieve the uninform into believing that you're living in paradise.

And mind you, you and your family have very high odds of getting shot in that killing field called America than the people living in "village forest" as you called it.

You are just a 5th class Black resident of the White man country who is at the bottom of all indecies in the country and who can be easily be uprooted at any given time.

Let's all continue to act like we don't know what Bobrisky and his team of Gay people are doing in Nigeria.

Let's keep acting like we don't know their agenda.

Let's keep endangering the lives of our young ones.

Just like the hookup menace. Someday, a Nigerian child will identify as non-binary in Nigeria.

As usual, that's when we will act.

Princewill1:
Who is this one with inferiority complex written all over his write-up?

Do you want me to show you pictures of ten of thousands homeless Americans living on the cold streets in various US cities?

Do you want me to show you pictures of Americans living in poverty (that is living paycheck to paycheck) what we call "hand to mouth" in Nigeria...Whom are one paycheck away from going homeless.

Do you want me to show you pictures from top Americans cities riddled with shootings and violent crimes with causualities numbers equivalent to a wartime situation?

You said humans act like humans in America Lol thats a big joke there. America that has one of the biggest mental health epidemic in the world where a kid can easily walk up to a mall with an Assault rifle and open fire.

People go to America purely because of the money that is due to economic reasons. If you have already secured the bag, America will be the least place in your mind to migrate to. There is nothing liveable about that place. The best place to live in the Western world is the Scandinavian region till tomorrow. Even Americans are retiring Overseas ie Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Mexico, Panama, Chile etc you can look it up.

People who talk like you are the ones who were living in extreme poverty in Nigeria before traveling. The ones who teasted life before immigrating don't go this low.

BoldBrainz:
At this rate, you'll most likely develop serious blood pressure concerns if all you do is quip and worry over other people's issues.

Kelechi009:
Those cases are far different, those ones already had kids in those countries. She is referring to 40+ newly coming to struggle from the beginning.

Any 40+ that travels abroad at that age is setting themselves up for failure.

BoldBrainz:
There was absolutely nothing wrong in Musa's reaction to the Governor's handshake. It is a cultural depiction of respect. End of story.

BoldBrainz:
Calm down Chief.

Refusing a direct handshake and bowing in its stead, is considered a higher show of respect than kneeling to shake the outstretched hand, in Islamic tenets and morals.

Don't sit here to give colourations to another man's intents, even after he has lucidly explained his action, which he ordinarily shouldn't have done if we were a people that prioritises necessities.

Ofunaofu:
Well explained

pandoragirigory:
Same for Peter girigory Obi, but Peter obi is only invited if beer company owners were invited, only presidents of countries like eze-chukwu Bola Ahmed Tinubu are invited not president of beer company owners like Peter girigory Obi.

Demichaels:
In LOVE'S radiant embrace, our souls entwine,
Yearning for the sanctuary of an IDEAL Home divine.
Like the PETALS of a graceful autumn bloom,
We flourish, entwined in affection's sweet perfume.
Pledged to each other ere our fateful meet,
No bond can rival the love we replete.
We are REKELS, crafting dreams in PETALS' HOME,
Creating a haven where love finds its grace. SEALED By the TRINITY

Wicked Souls .

The Lord will build his Church and the Gates of Hell will not Prevail against it




Matt 16 : 18
And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Drbarmes:
But the votes from Enugu, Anambra, Imo, Ebonyi and Abia counted.

helinues:
Stop disrespecting people. You wouldn't also like it if people disrespected your relatives.

I really don't know why some of you guys cant make your comments without insulting others, at least if it's once in a while thing, still make sense, but daily for years , make una stop that nonsense

Wondering why Nairaland is allowing people to continue to be disrespecting the office of the Nigeria president
