PropertiesRe: FCTA Demolishes Buildings, Properties Worth Millions As Abuja Residents Lament by Openbusiness:
shocked truth is many of houses in outskirts areas in Abuja na illegal structures. How do I know? Many years ago I went to Abuja to pursue a business. I was going to stay there for a week or 2 but couldn't afford to pay hotel bills. Fortunately a contact in Lagos hooked me up with his friend in Abuja to squat with temporarily for that period. When I got to d guy's house it was outskirts area and then every morning he will drive to the main town for work etc. One day we were discussing and he was like if I can save money to buy and build in this area, I can be renting it out to make money cuz cheap accomodation was scarce in Abuja etc. That the house he built it together with another girl, they contributed about 600k, around 250k bought the land and then they built like a 4 bedroom shanty kind of building. One room for him, one room for her and other room for tenants. That that's how most of the houses in that area is. That they are illegal structures with no approval from govt, land was bought from local "mafias". That any time govt can come and demolish. So I asked him then why take the risk. 600k no b small money na. He was like, the risk is calculated. That before govt comes to do enforce and demolition in outskirts it might take many years. They have been there for 5 years now. So they have luck on their side. That most landlord's there hope they will have recovered their money before govt eyes reach them. But some areas are not so lucky. In 1 or 2 years govt beam its light on them and demolish everywhere. Money is gone! But I can only say govt should tamper justice with mercy. These people are your citizens not foreigners. Don't treat them like outcasts you want to deport to another country
TravelRe: Plane Passenger Shocked To See Window He Slept Against During Flight Broken (Pix by Openbusiness: 7:58pm On Aug 20, 2020
ValCon888:
Firstly, it has to be determined whether the cabin is pressurised or not. In the above case, the cabin was pressurised because they are at high altitude.

If it is only the inner glass that cracks, everything is fine. But if it is the outer and inner glass that cracks, then the structural integrity of the fuselage is compromised which can lead to an explosive decompression.

Where that happens, human beings can get sucked out of the plane. If the pilot is not skilled, the plane can crash.
Southwest Flight 1380 below is an example.
no amount of skill can save the plane. only a miracle or a fat passenger that get sucked into the leak and gets stuck there and the pilot makes a quick emergency landing before all the intestines are sucked out and the vortex is open again. A broken window at high altitude equals plane crash. A puncture leak can be managed by a skilled pilot. Anyhow, your explanation is legit.

As if no be America give Osama Bin Laden weapons and trained his Al-Qaeda fighters
sometimes the enemy of my enemy is my friend. So CIA actively uses and funds terrorists against other terrorists. It is a known strategy. They supported Kurdish militias against ISIS, Obama even funded Alqaeda through the backdoor with money and military hardware to overthrow Ghadaffi, they fund Hezbollah through Hamas to fight ISIL. So na normal thing. When their interests align visavis a common enemy, they support them, and then still later crush them since they are still enemies. What will you say of your 9wn government that is releasing terrorists that killed thousands of their own soldiers, releasing them for free, not even as an exchange for prisoners of war or victims in captivity.

Whatever the case Saudi Arabia is weak.

They have state of the art but can't use it efficiently by themselves.

Look at when Hamas crippled their oil industry with basic rockets.

This is a country that uses the very expensive terminal high altitude area defence anti aircraft missile system(THAAD)

The same one America uses to protect their own country from nuclear superpowers.
Agreed. I agree that Saudi are not up to task with their potential. But those Hamas rockets are derived from Iranian ICBM missiles technology, surface-to-surface scaled down proportion unguided rockets. When you have 10 or 50 being fired at you, then maybe you can talk of THAAD. But when you have hundreds to thousands of rockets being fired at you within an hour, then even THAAD is useless. THAAD is mainly suitable for neutralizing long and short range ICBMs. But it will be defenseless against a ceaseless barrage of hundreds to thousands of rockets. Only the iron dome missile defense system can handle such. And only Israel has that technology in this world. Although they built it with active equipment and funding support from the USA.

The scandinavian ancestors were blacks with blue eyes.
those are mixed people, not pure blacks. Scandinavians are European Caucasians and the black population in Scandinavia region came about through slave trade. Scandinavians have huge population of blue eyes. Along the line of history, of course the black slaves before/after emancipation etc would have mixed with some whites, and introduced the blue eyes genes to their lineage gene pool. This girl's case is different. This is a naturally occurring blue eyes from nature, for a 100% black person. From the story, it can be deduced that her parents didn't have blue eyes. It started with her and passed to her kids. It is extremely rare. Maybe 1 in every 100 million blacks.

Money is not necessarily power.

Look at Saudi Arabia. They buy very expensive American weaponry yet they still need American troops to protect them in their own country.

They are so lazy.

Buying shiny weapons but have no military discipline and talent.
I agree with you with them using American troops. But not the way you are seeing it. They use America leverage for 2 things:

1) to maintain internal political power. The monarchy system is fading away. If not for those shiny weapons and other ground troop support, the Saudi Arabia monarchy will have been uprooted by "internal and external terrorists" who see them as their enemies for being allies with America. Remember Bin Laden is from Saudi. Alqaeda will have deposed the Saudi kings if not for the Monarchy having back up in terms of US weapons purchases and ground troops

2) America needs Saudi Arabia and exploits their relationship as allies to maintain a base in the gulf region. This gives them a landing and lifting pad to scramble and deploy war machines within minutes to fight against enemy states or terrorists in the region. They don't have to start deploying troops from America when they can have a huge military base there to handle certain urgent operations. So it's not Saudi Arabia that is gaining from the arrangements alone, it is a mutually beneficial arrangement that seriously favors the US too to have troops available in that region that can neutralize enemies in their own yard before they bring the fight to America soil. So Saudi would be stupid not to take advantage of that arrangement too.

Imagine her as an actress.

She will fit perfectly in a Superhero movie
As an international model, brand ambassador, beauty pageant, actress, Show host etc, her potentials are huge! Imagine her doing a vixen shoot with Rihanna or Beyonce, or doing a brand advertisement for beauty products like L'Oreal or doing photoshoots for Kylie Jenner or doing a promo for Verizon or Sprint. The girl na golden girl mehnnn, a real huge money spinner in the hands of the right management. Imagine this picture on baby products. He go sell pass cocaine grin If the Kwara State govt or FG were smart, they will take them up as a project. They have a huge money spinner right in their hands, plus a chance to cultivate the blue-eyes genes in our society's gene pool. It is a win win situation, no matter how you look at it

UAE know the US will leave the middle east either soon or anytime in the nearest future and the monarchs would have no one to protect them. That is the major reason they allied with Israel.
UAE is not allied or an ally of Israel. They just restored diplomatic channels between the two country. That is now the 2 countries are "talking" again. UAE are more than capable to defend themselves. Outside of Saudi Arabia, they are the richest Bloc in the Middle East. They have serious money to secure themselves.

techmo:
Take away Messi from Barcelona and watch them become a very useless club
There was a time there was no Messi in Barcelona. They had the likes of rivaldo, ronaldinho, guardiola, and legends like Rikaard, Michels and Cruijff. And they won loads of trophies. Messi is a big plus no doubt, but even without Messi, Barcelona will still shine.

Before Messi, trophies records:
Barcelona = 62 ; Real Madrid = 72

After Messi joined senior team:
Barcelona = 92 ; Real Madrid = 95

Barcelona has always been the top 3 greatest clubs in Spain and will always be.

But she couldn't run with the money na grin . Returning it was the ONLY option. Me I don't see anything outstanding about this. The one I value and have so much respect for is the airport cleaner or other indomie guy that saw RAW CASH that they could have easily disappeared with and might not be found out, but yet they returned the money. Those are the kind of people with exemplary honesty.

UAE normalised relations with Israel because it wants F-35 and Israel needs arab countries on its side against Palestine.
No Arab country will EVER side with Israel against Palestine. No Arab country will ever be an ally of Israel. NO Arab country has ever been an ally of Israel. No amount of peace treaty, or trade deals, or US negotiations can change that.
