So are u saying, the USA, create all these heartless, murderous group, bent on their own home destruction, to achieve wat? No terrorist group in united states
FSA/IS to undermine Syrian government
Mujahaddin/AlQaedda to undermine Afghan government of the 80’s
Benghazi-Jihaddi groups to undermine gaddafi’s Libya
MEK to undermine Iran
Hamas to undermine Arafat’s PLA

Who created the internet? Or yahoo mail? Should we hold them responsible for yahoo boys actions? Sometimes you guys just talk without applying logical reasonsling..
Now that’s quite a stretch equating internet to Jihadi groups. Funny indeed.

I wonder what you will tell Libyans after the “crusaders” brought democracy to them through jihadi groups. I guess they all now cherish the stability and prosperity under Gaddaffi. Jihadi-democracy sponsored by you-know-who has been terrible mistake.

Same MEK trying to bring democracy to Iran, or the Mujahaddins supported by you-know-who to bring down Russian-supported government of Afghanistan.or Hamas supported to bring down arafat’s PLA.

They create these proxies and in the end they all go roque. But the most painful parts is they never learn from the past. They keep creating these groups, not minding the disastrous outcomes.

The disaster of Libya is what we all are facing here in Sahel Africa. ..

The volume of money control by these extremists is just sickening.
The critical question you should ask is who created these groups: AlQeada, AlNusra, IS, MEK, FSA, etc..

Take a time to check the records and history of these groups including Hamas. They were mostly created as proxies to undermine a government and, or the country as a whole.

They do all go roque because they discover the duplicity of their sponsors.

who can help Palestine?

Houthis? They are too far to make an impact on the ground war in Palestine.

Hezbollah? A neighbor indeed, but the consequences would be a difficult one for the people of Lebanon

Egypt? Not a military might but could aid smuggling of arms to help fight off the Israelis.

Russia? Preoccupied with the war in Ukraine

Iran? Too far to make a great impact on the ground. But they engineer pressure points for the big sponsors of the war.

Saudis? Hmmm.. imagine MBS calling on all Muslims to stand up and aid Palestine? Ending petrodollar, liquidating SA’s holding of US treasury bills.

Do you think Saudi Arabia holds the wand to end this war?

TravelRe: She Was Denied USA Spousal Visa. What Can She Do? by owagbeba: 3:32pm On Dec 24, 2023
NiceLegs:
Hello everyone.

Please I need you inputs on this.

My Uncle who is a Citizen in USA filed to bring his wife in Nigeria whom he married in 2020 to the United States in that same year 2020.

Luckily after a very long wait time, the USA Embassy in Nigeria called the wife for interview after 2 years in the year 2022.

She went for the interview and was not given the Spousal visa or Green card or whatever they call it undecided

They told her to get more evidence of their marriage as the Visa Officers were not convinced they were married.

They fixed her to come after 2 months from the first interview date.

Before the second interview date, my Uncle in USA fell terribly sick were he could not speak atall.

They could not communicate with themselves at this stage.

She went for the second interview after the two months and was not given visa again.

My Uncle's case got worse that he was even brought back to Nigeria in January 2023.

Now my question is this, in such case, can the wife still get the USA Spousal Visa on her own at this stage?

What can she do to still get the Spousal Visa from here?

My Uncle is still in Nigeria as we speak.

Experienced USA migration experts, what can she do?
This question is very odd.

The man is very sick and can not speak.
The sick Man is now in Nigeria.
Wife is applying to get a visa to the US
She could not provide all necessary document for the second interview because of the sickness.
She still went for the interview rather than reschedule

Which is more important, tending the sick hubby or migrating to US?

They gave them you mean ? British occupiers ..you mean? If you don’t mind me drawing your attention to the map of palestine post -ottoman rule. It was palestine..a nation with both Arabs and Jews.

This crisis was a Judeo-British making, drawing straight lines on a map to determine who owns what regardless of who lives where. It’s a sad reality that these people are kicked off the lands to make way for a Jewish state while importing migrants to Palestine to occupy what we call Israel today.

Despite a UN order, Israel have continued to expand territory and steal more of Palestine, and this expansion comes with wanton murder and destruction of Palestine.

For how long, for how long should these people suffer? For how long should the rest of the “weak” world keep silent on the face of this brutality?

DomPerignon:
The Judeo-Masonic Anglo-Saxon axis of evil that Washington and London represents knows that their financial based economies are dependent on having all global trade routed through their exchange and banks using their fiat currency.

The greatest threat to this satanic axis is German and Russian economic and political alliance.

German industry and Russian resources will put an end to Anglo-Saxon Judeo-Masonic global domination.

The Ukrainians were cannon fodder in what is now clear was a proxy war of attrition on Russia but which Russia has now bounced back stronger.

The sanctions on Russia had the very opposite effect. Russian commodities are no longer being traded in London and New York and this has seen to a huge drop in liquidity that would have propped up the Ponzi stock markets in the west. Instead , Russia made deals bypassing western markets and with this has strengthened Russian bilateral and trade relations with both non alligned nations and those like the Gulf states who are decoupling from the USD.

The war in Ukraine has also seen Russia return to Soviet era weapons manufacturing levels while NATO depletes her stock. All NATO countries in Europe won't last 2 days fighting Russia before running out of weapons .

As for Germany , the war in Ukraine has been a total dissaster. They lost a cheap source of energy - Nordstream gas pipelines that were blown up by the US and UK rogue forces. German deindustrialization is well on its permanent path unless some one in Germany grows a spine (and a moustache) and gets rid of all the puppet politicians and set Germany back to real independence .

In typical Leninist Orwellian Speak, NATO is now blowing the false trumpet of Russia invading Europe while deploying troops to Finland.

It should be obvious that the Satanists in Washington and London need a global war to reset their fiat liquidity debt based economies and what better way than another great war.

Already , the likes of Bezzos and Warren Buffet are dumping their stock.

Zuckerberg has joined the long list of western billioniares now constructing underground bunkers away from the US mainland . His evil genius lair is in Hawaii. While the rest are running to the southern hemisphere in New Zealand to build their apocalyptic nuclear bunkers.

There is a saying that a bird does not tell another bird when to flee.

Something big is coming up and these Satanists are not only in the know but are the ones pushing hard for it to commence.
A refreshing read. I hope there are more informed folks on NL like you. Many here do not understand how evil these two nations, a former empire and current hegemony are . It’s sickening reading ignorant views from folks who downright believe the pronouncements of these two nations. They are really “NOT” altruist in their doings and offerings. Everything for them has a price.. a full-fledge capitalist mindset. War for them is a means to gain advantage and make wealth regardless of the humane toll.

yemen is not Gaza , Gaza does not have air defense,Gaza doesn't have cruise missiles Gaza does not have ballistic missiles,Gaza does not have aircraft not even helicopter,in fact Gaza does not have an army. Yemen have all those , including navy and air force
I should also clarify that the bigger nations than Israel like US, Brits with their coalition which included the saudis and the Emiratis have tried for YEARS to militarily destroy the Houthis and they failed woefully.

With the strikes on shipping vessels heading toward Israel, they (Houthis) have de facto somewhat blockaded some shipments to Israel. I assume this might impact on the Israeli economy and cost do shipments.

It looks more like we are nearing the end of Pax America in the world. Despite all war ships armada surrounding the middles east, they have failed to counter the Houthis and Iran.

USD is the international instrument for exchange of goods and banking . Other countries don’t accept NGN.

Discourage import when local manufacturing is comatose? Insufficient power supply, lack of ease of manufacturing, quadruple taxation, how do you encourage manufacturing in this atmosphere?

You think excessive taxation is good? The result is high inflation.. items will be expensive at local markets.

P&G will now import their stuffs to reduce the losses of manufacturing in this environment.

It is very difficult to do business in Nigeria. P&G import raw materials for their local production. Just like many business including mine, it is difficult accessing forex.

Take this example

You have a shipment worth 70,000USD at Apapa port. You apply for form M, then you pay 300k SON documentation to apply PAAR.

You get a surface duty of 10,500,000 which goes up to 15,000,000 After DTI computation and entry.

You pay your stipulated, only to see on Ascoda system that your import has been alerted by the same folks at Abuja that issued you PAAR for no reason. Then you begin negotiating for the cancellation of this alert. Negotiation equals settlement in this part of the world. You go through the hoop settling myriad of agencies: police, CIU, SoN, DC squad , chief examiner. Etc.

Finally you get an exit note. Customs at Gate now queries your exit note. They say your 20% duty rate is not sufficient. Government has a target to meet. You have to settle or else you get a DN. When you are done with all these groups eager to get a bit off you, you are faced with another group on the roads: FOU and Agbero. The whole process of doing anything in this country is sooooooo frustrating .

The funniest part… don’t ever think the past is gone. There is a new group called customs post audit. They review all previous releases and re-issue DN on these cleared cargos. Every dept has a target to meet. You must cough up or be damned…. Go figure!

Via Boris "Colonel Cassad" Rozhin:

Another failure of Israeli propaganda. It turned out that the “Hamas bunker” under Shifa Hospital is actually an Israeli bunker built under the Al-Shifa compound back in 1983, when Israel occupied the Gaza Strip.

This is why the Israelis were so sure that there was something under the hospital.

Back in 1983, when Israel still controlled the Gaza Strip, it built a secure underground operating room and network of tunnels under the Shifa Hospital and a cement basement under the second building of the hospital, which journalists are explicitly prohibited from entering.

I guess you could take sometime off to read the history of this war. At a point in history when the region was known as Palestine, Jewish militia (Haganah) were quite active in attacks against Arabs. This was during British colonial rule of Palestine after the Turks left the region.

Haganah operated then in support of Jews in Palestine same way Hamas and other groups are fighting for the liberation of Palestine today.

I think we have a habit of not telling the truth to ourselves and to others. If at current parameters, landing cost of PMS is 720naira per liter, and the petrol stations are selling at 580naira per liter than we have reintroduced Petrol Subsidy.

If FG moves to grant marketers right to import PMS within this subsidy regime then we are back to the days of Diezani’s subsidy schemes. But then the confusion is telling, airlines are yet to get dollars at official rate. Emirates is off the Nigerian route because they can not repatriate funds back due to dollar scarcity. Dangote had to swap his fx earnings in Ethiopia with Ethiopian airlines because of FX scarcity in Nigeria.

43 prohibited items back into the fold to bid FX at banks using Form M, now marketers access to this scarce FX in the works…. Sure enough round tripping on steroids.

Government is trying to squeeze revenue from the people by increasing import duty by 50% … minimum payable for 40ft is about 7 Million. Sure enough it will raise inflation and cost of things in the market

Raydos:
I've been to 15 states in Nigeria my whole life, and one thing I always notice is, Untarred roads, Lack of drainage system, Lack of proper planning e.t.c

Which always make me curious, Why does everywhere in Nigeria look like it got hit by a nuclear bomb? Why? Why don't we have modern streets and cities!!

Since the inception of Nigeria, I Don't think we have built any city, And please don't even mention Banana island, It's a piece of crap!!

It's sad that only about 3% of Nigeria is actually developed and the other 97% is just straight up piece of trash!!
Let’s do a critical analysis why the streets are trashy.

The local government / state government organizes town planning. But here in the Nigeria, individual home owner or builder do the planning. When there is no state involvement, it becomes chaotic. Most of the time the individual home owners or builders move into a new location before government notices, and ignores this new location until it gotten past the critical stage where some semblance of organization can be done.

When this new communities are formed, there is no paved road, no organized trash collection, no sticking to town planning rules because there is no town plan. Wooden stalls built in front of house, open drains and enforcement.

A way out of this apparent disorganized dwelling is the estate approach / gated communities with an estate management body. A body raised from amongst the resident to keep everyone in check.

It’s not about Low IQ as some have suggested. IT IS THE ABSENCE OF GOVERNANCE!
There is no one telling that landlord not to build a stall on the pedestrian foot path. No one is telling POS guy who has erected a shop along the road to quit. No one fined that landlord who projected his roof/zinc beyond the boundary of his land into the street. That Aboki burning wires by the road side to get metals. Or the one herding goats on a street corner. It’s all CHAOS because there is no enforcement, there is no government. Free for all… do as you like! Madness!
