Foreign Affairs / Re: US To Send More Bombs And Warplanes To Israel by Originalsly: 1:40pm On Mar 31
bemeruca:


Israeli need to drive out the Arabs occupying their land. The Arabs not only occupy the land, they want to kill the Jews.


Israel was there first? .... then the Palestinians came and want to drive them out? Or is it the Palestinians were there and the Israelis were brought in to occupy their land? Don't you hear Israel being referred to as occupiers? Why? If the herdsmen invade your farms and settlements and make it their home... their community ... what would you do? They are well armed with AKs.... will you have the courage to fight back? .. and if so ... will you fight back by any means necessary? ... and if the herdsmen begin to raid where you live... kill as many as they can... destroy your "refugee camp" .... would it be right for me to support the herdsmen because you are trying to take their land and they have a right to defend themselves? This is the case with Israel and Palestine.... Israel has occupied their land. This was the case with South Africa .Feel free to put your foot in your mouth.

God's Chosen People? Zionists vs Jews . Zionists are Atheists.... the ones waging the war. Jews are religious ... are not at all involved in the war ... do not identify with Israel the State ... do not fly the flag if Israel and do not serve in the Israeli Defence Force . Thy are against thee genocide ... and are heavily involved in arranging protests against Israel .

For the brainwashed.

Celebrities / Re: Burna Boy Gifts Himself A New Ferrari 488 Spider Car (video) by Originalsly: 12:48pm On Mar 31
immortalcrown:


But is it right to say people gift themselves things? A gift is something that doesn't cost the beneficiary any sacrifice. Burna worked for the money he spent on the car.

Well, I am not an expert on English language.


Nothing is wrong with your reasoning. Seems like you can no longer use your money to buy something for yourself.... whatever you buy for yourself is a gift.... as in yesterday I gifted myself jollof rice .... and a pair of sneakers ... today I'm gifting myself a dog ....meanwhile I'm almost done gifting myself a house.

Is it wrong? Definition below... we can decide on our own ... I hope.

Politics / Re: AGN Hails Tinubu As Zack Orji Travels For Post-surgery Evaluation by Originalsly: 12:14pm On Mar 31
shortgun:


Why didn't he help other nollywood actors who are critics. He's doing this because Zack oji is his supporter in Nollywood.
Tinubu is a bitter vindictive person


Tinubu is occupying the office of the president, anyone in that office is forbidden from showing preference and biases.


Why the bitterness? Are you the one to say who someone should help? Who have you ever helped? Too many of you guys behave like a woman scorned and don't even know.

Politics / Re: Plateau State Borrowed 16.32 Billion In 6months by Originalsly: 11:57am On Mar 31
scuba3:


This 16 billion was borrowed to offset salaries of civil servants and gratuities owed by the out going n government. Mind you, the state civil servants were on strike before inauguration of the new government hence the need to borrow.


What happen to the allocation from the FG? What are the conditions for the money borrowed? Where would the money come from to pay back? Or is the next administration be the one to be paying back? ... and has to take another loan to do so? Do they have details of the shortfall in salaries to figure out how much was needed? Let's stop making shallow excuses for these daylight robbers but instead do our part in getting them out of office and into prison or six feet under.

Some guys need to be checked from Day 1. Doesn't mean you wouldn't use the situation to teach your sister to make better decisions in choosing a guy. If left unchecked ... such guys will think the girl is on her own... has no backings ... and will have no cap when it comes to her. When checked they will think twice .... fear of consequences.

Hmmmm.... they will be coming for OP head. How dare him expose the scam? I can't believe people can simply watch these "miracles" and believe them. Jesus healed Lazarus .... on spot ... at the roadside. Why these miracle pastors never do?... never ever heal any widely known handicapped person? ... even in their own congregation? There's a reason why these miracles happen in Nigeria and not in the churches in the US.

Jennyclay:


Christianity is the true definition of peace.

if these people were to be Muslims they would have called this blasphemy and ask for their heads to be cut off immediately undecided.

Happy Good Friday!


Have you ever consider how many died at the hands of Christians? ... and how many by Muslims? Isn't the US a Christian country? ... founded by slaughtering the indigenous Indians and coveting their lands? ... the instigator of wars world wide presently?... and the supplier of weapons to perpetuate wars and killings?.... as in Ukraine? ... and Gaza? What has the leader of the Christian World .... the Pope ....has to say? ... nothing. This Christian warmongering behavior you are calling the definition of peace? We need first take the plank out of our eyes before condemning others with specks in theirs.

@ topic .... isn't this blasphemy? If Christians follow the teachings of the Bible ... the Bible specifically says not to have any image or pretty much impersonate Jesus ... but here we are doing the opposite ... but we can explain.

On Dec 15, 2023 the court decided his trial must be resumed. On March 19, resumption of trial ... he was refused bail. Who is refused bail?... one who is likely not to show up for trial ... to take flight. He did that ... whybwould they grant him bail? Now on what legal grounds he should be released? ... sentiments? Why is he now.seen as the peacemaker when he was the agitator for the insecurity? If he can't bring peace from within prison then he can't when he's out. More insecurity is likely to happen.... his zombies clashing with Simon Ekpa's zombies.

If you have ever been to that place, only then you will understand.

Seems you held on the the media figure of 10,000 which is the journalists mental estimate. in actual sense it’s way way much more.

wurukum road is the most trafficked route in the whole state. anyone traveling from the South to the North and vice versa through Benue must pass through that route.

It is the center of Makurdi and links to both commercial and administrative centers.

people pass there to and fro multiple times a day.

All major parks in Makurdi are located in Wurukum.



Bear in mind.... this is a public forum ... comments are based on what is posted.... 10 000 cars and bikes daily... which does not even require a simple overpass to prevent congestion. The only way I said is if there were plans to urbanized the area .... which will result in a vast increase of traffic. Now with your description of the area .... I now have a different perspective... and no doubt.... 10 000 vehicles including bikes is wayyy off. Thanks for the enlightenment .

Arny990:


.... gathering diverse perspectives, like those on the Nairaland thread, can provide valuable insights. Take your time to research thoroughly and make an informed decision that aligns with your goals and circumstances.


Migrating and making it depend more on the above than luck. Then how willing we are to adapt? How many of us can shove aside our pride?... as in to move from a manager to a warehouse worker? Most of us would prefer to wait jobless rather than take a job beneath our certification. We see this with graduates ... yearsss waiting for a job that fit their certification.
My question to OP ... how is the social life so far?

Politics / Re: FG Eyes N5trn VAT In 2024 by Originalsly: 1:34am On Mar 29
Why VAT?.... why not focus on tax for imported items? ... increase tax on what can be produced locally .... and increase even more on luxury items including vehicles. Just pause and imagine how much can br raked in by the massive luxurious fleet of vehicles imported for Tinubu ..... and the Senators ... and others. That alone can renovate... update and maintain all NYSC centers.... but which one of them will agree to such? And what is the European involved in ECOWAS affairs? ... these colonial worshippers need to be ousted from office and 21st century "youths" take over. That's the only way we can move forward. Senegal ... the latest to kick out the toothless geriatric leaders.

Well, on the long run, I don’t see the project as being a waste. after all, the population is growing nowadays exponentially.


If you have ever passed there especially in the morning from around 7:30 and afternoon from 4-5 you will understand that something needs to be done to ease the traffic at wurukum.


No doubt .... but I believe they go to unnecessary extremes. Plan for the future?.. no doubt ... must cater for increase traffic. .. but what will be the life span of the project? ... what is the estimate traffic increase and flow to that period of time? I can bet my eyebrows the overpass will still be heavily underutilized by that time. We've seen overpasses opened with great fanfare .... only to be turned into a haven for bandits and inconvenience to locals. I can only support such a project if they had a blueprint to urbanized the area or have some massive development project. Just hope they have solid maintenance programme.

Its not as if the two flyovers are the only ongoing projects. there are many projects currently going on simultaneously.


Couldn't traffic lights be the solution?... why spend so much on flyovers when the money could've been better spent elswhere?.. as in providing potable water? ... or constructing secondary roads?

Hmmm ... never knew a man can be so foolish. Why would he tell the world he brought along his lover who ended up warming the bed of his boss? Even if it was a prostitute he should remain silent. It must be his lover was a prostitute... in fact a LovePeddler ...... because from my yearssss of experience prostitutes usually stick to their agreements . Man is a bitter loser.... he should be ashamed of himself.

You prefer there be a traffic holdup there always? especially in the morning on working days till eternity?


10 000 vehicles per day does not warrant an overpass.... in any country. Why is it traffic lights are never considered? I can understand one that never left his village or town making such a decision... butnthese are people that travelled ... have been exposed... have seen various ways of managing traffic flow ... but choose to implement the most inappropriate and expensive one. We should know why. In the end ... the project would be wayyy underutilized and cause disruption... displacement and inconvenience local residents.
