One account in the food section does a similar thing. They’ll post a paragraph that seems innocent/interesting. If you’re not careful, you won’t notice an imbedded one-word link in the paragraph. One time I was swiping and my browser alerted me that I was about to open a link. Obviously I backed away so I can’t say if it was a shady link but why the attempt to disguise it?

Just some shady people all over this forum.

Well he might have said that but obviously he changed his mind the next day, applied for a job, the company was astonished at his rare intelligence and skill. They offered him employment immediately and applied for a work visa, got approved immediately and viola!

1) That the West, particularly the Anglos, have built sustainable democratic systems is attributable to an innate culture & ability to build such. While the English were giving their people with successive waves of democratic empowerment, Black Africans were busy selling their people into slavery. In fact the persistence of despicable class systems like the Osu among the Igbo in this day and age says a lot.

2) Trump may be greedy and impulsive or racist or whatever, but HIS PEOPLE have built a system to keep him in check. That's the point. Everyone shall hopefully be alive to judge after 4 years.

3) The problem with Black Africa is an evolved CULTURE OF SOCIALISM. Read some of the comments from well probably well educated participants on this thread championing subsidies and price controls and condemning free markets. Mark it down - Nigeria will NEVER become a developed nation until it commits to a free market system. There's an ECONOMIC definition of development that everyone can check into.

4) I understand the Nigerian economy more than most. My comment history is open to view. Most Nigerian law graduates don't understand that all land in their country is owned by government. That's a basic factor for economic productivity, so if they don't understand that what hope is there for development?

Most university educated Nigerians voted for Muhammadu Buhari in 2015. Enough said.

The proof is in the results. Over half a century of educating the people in independent Nigeria has produced the Poverty Capital of the World.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

The work visa is different from a visit or education visa I know.
A company giving you a job does not smuggle you in, although you would clap in glee if bemeruca came through Mexico. It easier when it's a work visa than an education visa.
I know of an accountant who was sent to Atlanta Deloitte offices from Africa and has been there for a number of years. So are several people who moved to America McKinsey from an African project.

Keep wallowing in your bubble .

I can list so many examples, I have mixed with a lot of people.

Yikes.

He was in constant back pain. I'm sure that he saw how poor people with similar condition were denied.

Meanwhile in Wisconsin, another school shooting. My heart goes out to the families who have lost a loved one, the students and teachers.

Americans are evil. This gun epidemic needs to stop. People should not be easily accessing guns. How many must die for us to understand that this is not supposed to be a controversial opinion?

I believe that there are good and bad people everywhere.

The right to bear arms has its roots in the founding documents and made a lot of sense in these days as it was formulated to protect a young self-governing nation from tyranny. Whether it still serves a purpose is disputable. As it may be, there is no way the collective American psyche is ready to give up on this right. It is too deeply ingrained and a tradition, for some even a necessity. Stricter regulations is as far as any effort to prevent more loss of life can go but not in the next 2-4 years with a Republican House and Senate.

Study APC manifesto for Buhari's election in 2015. Brilliant ideas put together by Kayode Fayemi and others.

1. Bad leadership
2. Bad Leadership and
3. Bad leadership.

When Africa start putting in place less greedy leaders and we develop a working and sincere institution to check and balance our leaders, Africa will progress at great speed, because Africa has an enormous resources not to be poor.

"A well regulated militia"

Citizens are not well regulated militias.
Citizens should not be having access to guns. There is no war going on. Even when wars happen the citizens cannot overpower the government unless there is sabotage.

Citizens shouldn't be having access to guns. Simple. In Scotland, Australia they banned these and no gun violence. Europe is sane because that madness was done away with. It's common sense. The gun lobby exists for profits not to save lives or defend anything. No citizen can defend itself against the government apparatus so that's a silly reason for owning guns. Reduce the access to guns, heavily restrict it's use or better still ban it. Or more people will keep dying.

I hope the coming generations have the sense to do the right thing. It will never be well with the gun lobby for corrupting the 2nd Amendment..

IbeOkehie:
I would suggest you look into the government of Julius Nyerere in Tanzania. He was a national leader acknowledged for his sincerity, selflessness and genuine desire for progress.

Nobody anywhere ever accused him of any kind of corruption. He didn't try to be a life President. He died poor. He's an acknowledged role model of the selfless leader. And he was a SOCIALIST.

https://www.google.com/search?q=julius+nyerere+government+tanzania&oq=julius+nyerere+government+tanzania&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigATIHCAUQIRigATIHCAYQIRifBdIBCTE0MTQ0ajBqN6gCFLACAQ&client=ms-android-samsung-gn-rev1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#ip=1

The question to be asked is what he achieved in Tanzania. He left the country poorer than he met it. And he implanted a socialist philosophy that will NEVER make the country prosper.

Almost all of Black Africa is a socialist hell. Too much government, too much price regulations, too much government ownership of the factors of production. The PEOPLE have gotten to the point where they hate to reward productivity. That's why Black Africa is poor and will remain so for decades to come.

It's the system that's the problem. The leaders of China are just as corrupt as African leaders. China is richer now because the elites were enlightened enough to see the benefits of market capitalism. Nigerians prefer Buhari style command economics and will continue to suffer the consequences.

Good Luck to Nigeria 🙄

A militia is an organization of armed citizens, that’s the definition of a militia. If citizens have no access to guns, they can’t form a militia, unless of course the government calls for it to supplement the military but they won’t do it to fight themselves, which the founding fathers intended to in the case of tyranny.

I am not making a case for gun ownership, just putting things in perspective.

AmazonTopaz:
A militia supplements for the military and this happens in times of war. There is no war going on in the USA for there to be a need for citizens to own guns. The text also talks about regulations. There are very few regulations in place and gun ownership is very loose. As we both agree that's it is the government that call for it to supplement for the military as originally intended I wonder why Conservatives refuse to see it that way and are obsessed with weapons.

I know that you were not making a case for it. I understand the idea of the amendment too and it's just bonkers especially from the conservative side. It's all about profit.

It’s the same discussion that follows every school shooting and nothing changes, you see. Same old, same old.

IjeBos:
Republicans brought forth this notion that guns ownership is absolute and should be unregulated from whole cloth.
The 2nd amendment wasn't intended for that purpose.
When it was written militias had a more formal meaning. Each colony had it's own militia where every man had to belong. When the amendment was written it was to make sure the militia could push back against a federal Undemocratic standing army.
Even the term "bear arms" was most referenced when talking about military service.

Republicans did what Reoublicans did and bullshited their way to this new view of gun rights.

But nothing will change until the Supreme Court changes. Just more children dying.

I better be seeing a parent of the 15 year old killer getting charged for murder.

IjeBos:
1.) I'm almost 100% sure you don't know any of these people.
2.) You listed a couple of employees of 2 of the top companies in the world to make the case that H1-B visas aren't hard to get?
Are you well?
3.) Bemeruca did not get a H1-B Visa and he is not in the US.
His Bullshit story that he changed his mind in March and got a H1-B processed in May, just 30 business days later, is just that, Bullshit.
The processing time for the H1-B visa is 3.5 months now. It was soo much longer immediately after Covid esp. right after Trump slowed it down. And those processing times were backed up even for US passports (it was a 6 month wait for a US passport) until late last year.
You and Bemeruca are too dumb to even research or understand the lie you are telling before telling it.

Wallow in my Bubble? Lol. If you only knew my bubble, you'd be throwing your bullshit resume at me.
