Nothing is inherent to those who can educate themselves!

And know I am your direct opposite. My faith in my fellow human beings does not ever waver, but I draw the line at basilico because he is clearly irredeemably lost.

Oh. And goodluck to you. You need it.
Yes, educated Nigerians believe -

The British & Americans were so RACIST they refused to build any refineries in Nigeria grin

That Nigerians can own land in Nigeria.

That Black Africans didn't profit from the Slave Trade.

They also believed fuel subsidy didn't exist in Nigeria until Tinubu abolished it in May 2023...most educated Igbo I know believed this and voted for Buhari on that basis.

Educated Igbo believe it was the Northern dominated governments after 1967 that started Unitary Government in Nigeria. grin

There was a recent argument on this same Nairaland where educated Nigerians claimed that the Federal Government owns 100% of NLNG.

Educated Nigerians can't understand that their electricity system and market is still COMPLETELY 100% controlled by the Federal Government.

EDUCATED Nigerians grin grin grin grin

There are enough Americans who do not want to live in a Socialist dictatorship like we saw last 2024 presidential elections to vote against those policies, Some states are trending socialists but I wager the bulk of Americans still love money enough to be capitalists

Suicidal empathy is a main cause for concern though even when it threatens your existence, The type Europe is spiraling into
Yeah I understand you. I hope you're correct.

Angela Merkel the former German Chancellor really destroyed Germany with open borders, green new deal hysteria and general wokery.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

Coco. These last three weeks have been revelatory only for those who were previously blind. The sensible saw this long ago.
I’m just extremely happy that I never fell for their BS in the first place. There was nothing they didn’t try. Especially when you are a new immigrant, they try to trap you as soon as you start going to their churches. Turning you against other minorities.

“You’re the good hardworking ones not like those AAs”
“You’re a Christian you should support the party of Christian values”
“Democrats hate God because they support women to make unnatural choices”
“LGBTQ people are coming for you as woman to take your place in life”
“They’re transforming your children into different genders in elementary schools”
“They’re performing abortions after birth”

There was no useless lie and tactic they didn’t employ.

I wish all the people who swallowed their propaganda and lies can actually see with their own eyes now how easily, blatantly and compulsively they lie.

Why does the feelings of all these country matter to an American who wants to be great?
They too should go ahead and be Great without America

Okay Greenland Canada Venezuela Japan will not vote for Trump or Americans greatness but how is that our business?

A lion does not concern himself with the opinion of sheeps
Not only those countries, but the supposed sheep in USA too who are opposed to what the lion does and who will be concerned when the sheep don't vote for the lion.

But that's beside the point. Its funny you think lion America can survive all by itself when all the foreign sheep stand against it.

Time, will open your eyes.

Why are they fighting to hide the body cam footage if they did everything right?
Marimar Martinez, the Chicago woman shot five times by a Border Patrol agent after federal agents rammed her car and one of them said, “Do something, b*tch” before shooting her, is now fighting to release the evidence the government is blocking.

She survived being shot FIVE TIMES, federal prosecutors dropped all charges against her, and now she’s asking a judge to let the public see body-cam footage, communications, photos, and more.

Not just to defend her reputation, but to show Americans what really happened that day.

Her lawyers argue that the government’s narrative of labeling her a “domestic terrorist,” and a threat to the ICE officers that shot her despite dropped charges, is false and harmful.

They also point to the recent deadly shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by ICE and Border Patrol agents, saying the public and elected leaders need transparency on how DHS uses deadly force against citizens.

Every time a DHS agent shoots someone, it’s the same script.

Blame the victim, claim agents were attacked, and their life was in danger.

And every time the evidence eventually shows DHS lied.

ICE/Border patrol agents should not be allowed to shoot people, and then blatantly lie to the public.

Releasing this evidence is the first real step toward transparency and actual accountability.

I hope you know this is what supposed lion Russia thought about supposed sheep Ukraine, and is what lion China will think when it invades sheep Taiwan.

It's a pity though, that you think might should be right, but I'm delighted most don't reason like you do, especially not the sheep and the many other animals who can gang up and defeat your lion because they know they are next once it's done with the sheep.

Tiktok Allegedly censoring Anti-ICE, Epstein and Anti-Trump posts.

While we may have a common enemy in Republicans and their supporters, at the moment.

I hope we don't forget that attempts to censor tiktok was initiated under Biden, with bipartisan support. Initiated over Pro-Palestinian protests and growing support on the app.
I hope we don't forget about the specific Dems who made this possible, when the midterms come around.

No raum, I do not see how UK is shivering when dump speaks. We actually laugh at dump down here, and if our leaders shiver at him we'd elect new leaders.

Or how do you think S. Koreans would react when their government decides to go invest $350bn in USA? And how do you think Canadians would react when USA fighter jets fly into their airspace?

In fact, how would you react if a country you belong to goes to spend your tax money in USA to make America great? Would you just shiver?

Somebody needs to go and tell Dominican Republic to stop enforcing their immigration laws against Haitians! Here's stories from the very liberal AP in 2021 and PBS in 2025

First story is from late 2025. The Dominican Republic has taken a very hard line AGAINST Haitian migrants to their country. These two countries are NEIGHBOURS sharing ONE ISLAND. So why should the USA be taking them in when THEIR NEIGHBORS refused? Why can't the people of Haiti use their Melanin Magical Intelligence and create a country as stable and liveable as Dominica?

The irony is that Haiti once conquered and colonized Dominica grin shocked grin


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alqwAzvdJKs?si=aPiZpodmZWMulhnV

Second report from 2021. I've read a report that the Dominican Republic has a zero tolerance policy for migration from Haiti. They've even started construction or maybe already installed a super high-tech fence barrier to keep them out. Where's the outrage?

https://apnews.com/article/dominican-republic-haiti-migrants-deported-crackdown-fb0b796b645e6c418094fe3f28298ea5



I'm hoping our resident activists will reserve some energy for a campaign against the Dominican Republic.

Good Luck to Nigeria.
Haiti was over cultivated during the plantation slavery years under the French and that destroyed the soil structure and nutrients which then led to the destruction of prime vegetation that would have created a sustainable agro-based economic belt for Haiti. Hence, one of the reasons why Haitians would continue to illegally cross over into the Dominican Republic besides the relentless urban gang violence and rapes in various parts of Haiti. The Dominicans who are largely mixed Spanish, African, and Taino Native Indians bloodlines would continue to be ruthless and racist towards Haitian immigrants.


The nearby Dominican Republic has very lush vegetation along the common borders with Haiti but if you look at the aerial or drone images of both sides of the Haiti/Dominican Republic borders you would find a blighted Haitian side with little to NO vegetation.

I FIRST watched a documentary video of about 16 minutes in 2019 (7 years ago) on the obvious divisions between the Dominican Republic and Haiti and I still have it saved on one of my laptops. I'll post the video link right here if it's still online for you to see.

It was a deeply sobering experience for me just watching that 16-minutes documentary and how Haiti began to sink down the economic ladder after the Haitian Revolution ended in 1804 in addition to Haiti paying heavy compensations to France for the destruction of French economic interests during the Haitian Revolution.

Dominicans too haven't treated the Haitian migrants in their country well in terms of human rights but Haitians themselves can be very stubborn. In 2025, large numbers of Haitians right in public massively resisted the invasion of their New York communities by members of ICE who WANTED to start arresting and deporting them back to Haiti. They know things would be very rough for them in that Island country if they did not unite against ICE.



[Updated]: Yes! I've found the video link of the 16-minutes documentary right BELOW. You can watch it and the second video as well to get a hang of what I talked about in my previous post here.

You think this is good decision?

The Trump administration has rescinded a Biden-era rule that forced pharmacies to dispense abortion pills. This is a move hailed by pro-life advocates as a victory for religious freedom and conscience rights. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced the decision Tuesday, repealing guidance issued in 2022 that required pharmacies receiving federal funding to stock and dispense abortion-inducing drugs....

If I owned a pharmacy,I would not sell such withour a prescription from a Doctor. That is, if I was forced at gunpoint to stock it in the first place.

Because if my inherent bias I may be impervious to reason when it comes to Haiti
In 1947 South Korea was poorer than Haiti. By 1947 Haiti had finished paying off it's debt to France.

Haiti is still dirt poor . After WW2 there was a lot of aid given to countries to develop ,UN teams were sent to Haiti to build capacity,etc Haiti is still dependent on aid, including police forces.
In contrast South Korea transitioned to a global donor.

“We had this discussion with him two weeks ago or so, you know, that go ahead and protest, but do not engage, do not do anything stupid, basically,” Michael told the AP.
