Besides I hope you saw where I wrote that 'this is nice" in my initial comment to praise his kind gesture cheesy


God didn't inspire the bible. The Bible are historical events that happened in the middle east at a particular period in time. I might agree that it has spiritual meaning to Christians tho.


I thought our arguments were based on rational thoughts just now. I am surprised you have switched to spiritual aspects in about three comments. grin
God inspired the Bible, sir.

"All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness,"

PoliticsRe: Africans their own Slave Rulers, Don't Blame The Whites - Aroms Aigbehi by porka: 8:45am On Apr 18, 2018
The concept of human existence in Africa is the problem.

Far too many people don't know what human beings are.

We don't know why humans live and what we live for.

Until we know why human live we won't start to appreciate basic negative human concepts like lying, falsification of documents etc.

We have to fully understand them before we know their consequences.

We see our people graduating with honors from Ivy League schools but can't compete with others who graduated with lesser grade in innovation.

Our artisans would lose 5 bolts from a gadget and screw 3 back and then tell you "it doesn't mean".
PoliticsRe: The Dangote Refinery.. What Impact Will It Have On The Economy by porka:
Why don't you wait and see how the refinery is run before making bogus assumptions.

It is such assumptions that put us into the quagmire we are presently in. People with limited knowledge often come out to publish "water into wine" kind of emotional narratives that have proven to be false.

There's no single investment that can do the magic in any economy as people are expecting this one to. There must be several hundreds if not thousands of such investments before the boasts can make any meaning.

Dangote will buy the major raw material of his company from oil producers in dollars. Oil is sold in dollars. This can only be positive for the foreign exchange reserve if he exports and earns more in dollars than he has spent. If he decides to sell locally to Nigerians he would earn naira.

Dangote as a businessman might prefer exports to selling locally for higher margin especially at the earlier years because he has to repay the billions of dollars facility he took from financial institutions. If he does that, it means importation would still be with us for more years. Except the marketers are able and willing to buy from him at a competitive price.

Also, on jobs, there will definitely be people employed but the "massiveness" is left to be seen. The oil industry is not a labour intensive sector. It's rrquires technical skills that may not be in ready supply while technology and automation have been introduced to cut down the physical manpower requirements. So yes, people will be employed but we should tone down the proportion. Many of the people currently working on the construction will be asked to go after all bolts are screwed and left for technology to continue.

It is always better to be cautious while making assumptions on things that have not been tested.

It is a double jeopardy for the Almajiris.

Unfortunately the man the Almajiri repose their confidence in to save them does not have the capacity.

He doesn't know how to empower them than reintroduction of ancient cow GRAZING strategies: which allows for killings of humans for cows to feed.

If Buhari has been building schools and hospitals in the North for the past 3 years, not a few people would have applauded him for that.

If Buhari was operating a programme targeted at the future of these extremely impoverished Almajiris even for a single year out of the wasted three years, the story would have been different.

This barbaric government and its supporters do not care about human lives.

Is there any other country in the world that has recorded the amount of deaths of its citizens in peace time like Nigeria under Buhari?

One of the most satanic arguments of their foolish supporters was/is that people must die before things get better.

How many countries conduct mass burial for her every month and still shamelessly talk of phantom infrastructure?

Where is the so-called infrastructure now?

Where is the Lagos-Calabar railway they said would be ready in two years?

The picture loving government has not been able to produce a single shot of work activities at Mambilla Hydro Power Plant till now.

Where are the refineries they said would 70% installed capacity?

Hundreds of Almajiri schools were built in the north but the satanic primitive people abandoned them only to concentrate on 12th century method of herding cattle.

Cattle rearing is more celebrated over schooling.

And mass killings are seen as a consequence of not "tolerating fellow human beings".

Polio was all but gone before they came in only to stage a deadly comeback.

Lassa fever now kills even health professionals at an alarming rate and spread across the states that didn't witness such in the past.

Midgut:
An identity card belonging to the Deputy Chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State , Zakariya Ya’ u Idris , is now a subject of controversy.
The Police authorities said they had commenced investigation into the matter .
While the Irigwe Development Association alleged that the document was recovered at a scene where some persons were recently killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen , MACBAN said the ID card was stolen by Irigwe youths who attacked the house of Idris while he was worshiping in the mosque .
The President of IDA and former member , Plateau State House of Assembly , Sunday Abdu , said , “The identity card was seen at the scene of an attack where people were killed .
“ The issue of identity cards is a small matter . We also recovered telephone handsets.
“ We have reported the matter to the Police and the items have been taken for investigation . ”
But when contacted by our correspondent , the chairman of MACBAN in Plateau State , Muhammad Nuru Abdullahi , insisted that the ID card was stolen along with other personal documents .
He said , “ The owner of the ID card is the deputy chairman of MACBAN in Bassa LGA . He was chased out of his own house .
“ He left this document inside his own house , and they entered and picked it and then went away with it. The man was running for his life.
“ The incident happened on Wednesday morning . You know , they were attacked very early in the morning before 6 : 00 am . He was in the mosque when they were attacked and he was unable to return to his house .
“ That was how they picked the documents , including the certificates of his children, indigene ’ s certificates of his wife and children , his ( MACBAN ) identity card , vehicle documents and other personal items .
“ He has reported to the Police and the report has been documented . ”
When contacted to find out whether any report was lodged by either parties , the spokesperson of Plateau State Police Command , Matthias Tyopev , an Assistant Superintendent of Police said , “ It is a sensitive matter ; no comment for now, until after diligent investigation . ”

ameri9ja:
Right. This is not about Buhari vs. Jonathan. It is about WE vs. THEM. The playing field in Nigeria is too much rigged.
Hello, it is about the widening of gaps between the rich and the poor.

That is what income inequality means right, isn't it?

If so, who destroyed the middle class in the last two years?

The middle class was growing before the plague happened on Nigeria.

There was some form of upward trajectory in income.

Quite a number of entrepreneurs sprouted in unbelievable ways.

Many of them without access to government funds.

Check out the 2013 McKinsey & Co report for instance.

Africa’s growing giant: Nigeria’s new retail economy

https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/marketing-and-sales/our-insights/africas-growing-giant-nigerias-new-retail-economy
The millions of jobs that have been lost made the gap wider.

The current available jobs such as the N30,000 job your guy is employed to do online cannot match-up to the several thousands of managerial level employment lost in finance, manufacturing, tech, building, entertainment etc. sectors.

Your WE & THEM theory is not well thought through, perhaps.

There's no where in the world where you don't have rich people.

The important thing is the flexibility of social mobility.

Social mobility ensures people have hope.

Poor people are assured of becoming rich some day by sheer grits.

The playing field was not so rigid before Buhari's presidency.

It is when you have such stiff atmosphere that the rich unleash their "survival" strategies.

Such strategies as giving their children in marriage to Buhari's government officials.

And when you look at that particular one, it was not caused by us. It is not our fault."

This is what happens when a government wipes out the entire middle-class that served as an intermediate class between the super rich and the poor which was created by successive governments and spreads hopelessness in replacement.

The poor are reportedly committing suicide at an alarming rate because of hopelessness. Some are selling their children while others are offering themselves as slaves in ridiculous places across the world.

The remnants of the vanquished business owners and professionals (middle-class) are filing their papers in foreign embassies trying to make meaning to the humiliation and shame that their government has brought on them.

Nigerian reproductive health activist and Associate Professor, College of Health Sciences, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Morenike Toyin Folayan, has revealed that she divorced because she could not sacrifice her career for her home.

In an interview with TheNation, she also talked about the disadvantages of raising independent children. According to her: “One of the things that probably made me call for a divorce was that I could not sacrifice my career for my home, and I am happy I did not.

Because now that I’m divorced, I’m still going on. I don’t feel any loss and I don’t feel that I’ve wasted my life. In addition, I must acknowledge extensively that my husband stood at the home front for me, spent a lot of time with the kids. He did, and I would always acknowledge that.

However, I think I had trained my children to become very independent. That is one of the things that make me sad sometimes. My kids do not really need me around.

At times, I just wonder if my kids really need me. Actually, the three of them are now in the UK, one of them is married and two are in school. I send them text messages through Whatsapp or Messenger, and two weeks after, they reply.

I really brought up independent children. It has its disadvantages, but it allowed me a lot more in my career. It has its pluses and minuses.”

What they used to do then is that if anybody went outside the cattle route, or outside the grazing area, he would be arrested, taken before an alkali’s court, fined. If he can pay, okay. The money is taken and given to the farmer. If he can’t pay, the cattle is sold and the farmer is paid. People were behaving themselves.

So when people came and took away the land for the cattle route, for the grazing areas, you find out that from Kaduna to Bayelsa, Nigerians are fighting cattle rearers now. But when I was in the Petroleum Trust Fund, we made a comprehensive study of cattle routes and grazing areas throughout Nigeria. I am referring the governors’ forum and the minister of agriculture and rural development to the report. Let them see what they can do and save the situation.

Chancellor not Vice Chancellor

A chancellor is a leader of a college or university, usually either the executive or ceremonial head of the university or of a university campus.

In most Commonwealth and former Commonwealth nations, the chancellor is usually a ceremonial non-resident head of the university. In such institutions, the chief executive of a university is the vice-chancellor, who may carry an additional title, such as "president & vice-chancellor". The chancellor may serve as chairman of the governing body; if not, this duty is often held by a chairman who may be known as a pro-chancellor.

Clear conscience fears no accusation...so go screw yourself with your useless confidential transaction.
That once anything is in court the whole world will know the details...
An almajiri is always ready to kill anyone because of his insecurities.

Everything you ever know about "Haliburton scandal" came from COURT filings in the US.

Get educated about these things.

When a case has reached the court, it has become a public matter. That is not what they accused the EFCC of doing.

EFCC is being accused of LEAKING FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS TO THE MEDIA.

The media is not the court.

When a case has been thrown to the wild jungle (public) before prosecution begins, it has been compromised.

i) The public would feast on it like they do in the prehistoric times, sometimes denying the accused the right to fair hearing.

ii) Or the alleged suspect could begin making moves to "kill" the case.

Including hiring smart lawyers to preempt the actions of law enforcement bodies or offering bribes to them, or destroying evidence (law officers' lives could be in danger).

iii) The judge himself could be biased, based on what the public opinion says.

"Abacha loot" was a court case. Obasanjo followed judicial process even though he was "forced" into a plea bargain.

Charges were dropped after Abacha family "cooperated" to let go some part of the money in return for Abacha's son's freedom.

All this we know through court (public) records.

Modern law enforcement is not the same as cutting people's head based on "rumour" without proper investigations.

Civilized people don't conduct their law enforcement in the media.

FIU was not set-up yesterday. It has existed before now.

If it is now being used to do Buhari's "public prosecution" duties against the STEALTH operation it was set-up for then collaborating agencies from other jurisdictions are justified by raising concerns about their own records being LEAKED TO THE MEDIA.

EFCC's alleged leaks could get into criminals' hands. Kidnappers or terrorists could use the financial information to do harm.

Enough of this zealotry. Fanaticism is not efficiency.

Financial transactions are not based on "conscience".

They are based on evidence/documents.

It has nothing to do with religion, it is what the papers say.
