free2ryhme:Guy, what’s wrong with you people? It’s totally wrong to say this, even as a joke to a stranger. It’ is his choice to buy secondhand, third-hand car. His choice, his money! Why try so hard to debase his effort on a public forum… gosh! |
Newton1045: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 PKK to undermine saddam’s Iraq Chechnya’s rebels to undermine 90’s Russia |
pquaver: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. .. |
Kingosytex: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? |
MajorOvakporaye:Why would you want them to leave knowing that they employ a lot of Nigerians? |
NiceLegs: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? |
Floky215: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: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. |
eteebanky1:Palestine fighting for a state ..a nation, makes them a fool? A people that have been under a brutal, merciless occupation for more than six decades… six decades! Avoid CNN, please! |
So interesting to see how ignorant we Nigerians can be in face of over-information. What do we all spend time doing on phones and PC … watching carton? A Gallup poll shows 30% of Israeli population believe in God and someone up here is arguing with the wordings in the Bible. Many pastors similar to these folks are defending Israeli right to kill and massacre thousands of Palestinians. What’s wrong with us? |
Presenting electronic repair course in this manner is not a good idea. Better you detail in series known PSU problems and show troubleshooting techniques to solving this problem. This way you can draw audience. |
Watcharena: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. |
tsdarkside:Well..that tells you power is might. After WW2, the Americans replaced the existing gold mechanism with Brenton wood systems. Just the way their forebears Brits and French divided up the rest of the world into their colonies and milked the resources. And you still want to know why? They can easily drive their floating war machine to your backyard and ask you to give up your resources at gun point . Ask Iraq and Syria about this; they will tell you better. |
tsdarkside:Have you had a chance to run or manage a business with physical structures in this country? Have you had the opportunity to move cargo around Lagos? I think then you’d understand the meaning indirect and direct taxation. Bottom line, it is not an easy place to do business. |
tsdarkside: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. |
tsdarkside: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! |
LeoDeKing:Nigeria GDP - Oman GDP Muscat international airport cost 5 billion USD See the difference … be the judge

[quote author= post=127209547]Ignorance is no excuse, A pilot shouldn't be flying in a terrain he knows nothing about. We hope they have learnt their lessons now.[/quote]Then what’s the need for automated guidance systems on these planes if the pilots need terrain familiarity and visual cues to fly in Nigeria? At those height terrain familiarity and visual cues don’t work because you can’t see a thing.. all clouds.. no landmarks |
oluwaseyi0:What’s our hope then? If a former NBA president -a learned man, acts in this manner? Where then will our salvation comes? Not from pen. From boot? |
[quote author= post=127168964]They killed 3 people cos Of Sylvester Madu ?! That means they gonna kill a whole village assuming it was Jim Iyke or Nkem Owoh! Stupid terrorists people. Life has no meaning to them. Animals. May the soul of the departed Rest in Perfect peace[/quote]The consequences of the “owo mi da” phenomenon. It’s an utterly dangerous entitlement mentality. Many are hurt on our roads each day due to this menace. |
magoo10:Why wasn’t there same kind of party for those burned folks of Sodom and Gomorrah? Different strokes for different folks? |
Femiwilli:Sometimes Comments like yours makes it more difficult to exchange ideas on this forum. Is the christian GOD different from the Islamic God? Is it not the same GOD? Don’t you know the stories of the Bible are also in Koran? Don’t be quick to show ignorance Have you taken the time to read beyond the scope of the Bible -which none of your forebears contributed a paragraph- to read the history of these religions? |
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. @infantmilitario #Source @Slavyangrad

Righteousness2: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. Wonder how God or Jesus would feel knowing that Israel has enshrined LGBTQ laws just like Sodom in biblical history? |
Guyman01:Where did you read in this story that they (MTN & Airtel) were into currency speculation ? Don’t you know what letter of credit is in trade/business? Comment is not mandatory on Nairaland |
anyination:Brother…. Please don’t go to Oman. THERE ARE NO JOBS.. it’s a suicide mission. . Boys I met there are sleeping rough . Don’t waste your money doing employment visa… African ladies at Mabillah are doing Rosco prostitution… the boys are jobless except for the yahoo boys who run HK |
Akano5:Please don’t go to Oman…. Suicide mission |
RingRoadMafia:Bomb them, you mean? Because it’s Israel your supposed holy land that has done so much abominable things. I guess it will helpful to look at history and understand that’ Palestine was the name of the territory, it’s the so called western power (England) who instituted this ever unending madness with their desire to draw a line on a map and call it a country. You can not justify this madness carried out by Israel … never! If they want to fight HAMAS and leave the civilians out of this madness |
lordm:Really? How much are they selling? Often see 580 on my pump meters |
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 My people.. wahala dey! USD May go astronomical in no time .. giddy up folks ! Melt down looming |
Raydos: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! |
