I was specific in certain industries.

Oil, technology and automotive.

All priced in dollars and overpriced in Nigeria.

Any other industry, you are on your own
What about MTN equities?

What about him? He's been a very fair minded guy all along. I think he voted against Trump in a couple of decisions by the Supreme Court lately. What's the problem? He's just like anyone. I like to not look at people based on their colour and stuff - but I also appreciate this is far from reality in many places.
Fair minded you say?
What you think would be wrong.
Thomas has been one of Trump's most ardent supporters on the Supreme Court.
He is on hack levels at this point.

You really do know little about the US

Btw, why haven't you proven you aren't gay yet?

The late Senator John McCain. How was his flight record?

When you bring in people of colour and women into hiring pilots, you will lower standards.
You are a good driver I guess, a lot of careful drivers with plenty of experience are not good drivers.
Wrt appointment, the democrats will never appreciate Trump choices , they always look for reasons to denigrate them. I don't join lyn h mobs just because you want me to join.
Please, was Kristi Noem not even removed by Trump himself after her silly controversies?

Have Hesgeth and Patel not made blunder after blunder with leaks and misstatements?

All three of them do not have the necessary experience for their jobs.

Then let's talk about Pam Bondi who disgraced herself in front of the senate as she couldn't handle simple questions at a hearing. She like a belligerent witness. A disgrace.

As for Charlie Kirk, he used the word "qualified". He questioned if a black pilot is qualified. Please is there such a thing as an unqualified pilot whether black or white?

Exactly.
The idea of racial or tribal quotas casta doubts on the ones who earned their positions on merit.
Simple question.If someone decided that NBA must have whites ,it will definitely lower standards.
Da fuq.

There are about ~160,000 airline pilots in the US.
There are about 50 million black people in the US.

If half the pilots are black. That would be around 80,000 black airline pilots (which there are not).
80,000 black airline pilots would represent .16% of all the black people in the US.

Not even 1%
Not even .5%
Nor even .25%
But .16%

Your argument seems to be that there are not .16% of black people in the US who could be qualified to be a pilot.

The absolute nonsensical racism in your post.
And worse is that you are a black person writing this tripe.
I can't with you.

How is it overpriced?
A Nigerian used Toyota camry 2002 is (high mileage) 2.7 to 3 million Naira (2100 dollars)

An American used Toyota camry 2002 is (high mileage) about 1500-1700 dollars.

Keep in mind that the American used is in better condition.

How much does it cost to request a new birth certificate or naturalization certificate online?
Let me help you, in MA it's ~$50 for a birth certificate online and ~$500 for a naturalization certificate.

And then factor in the cost for a government photo id if you are using a birth certificate.
And most of these ids last 5 years. So you would have to get them replaced again every 5 years. Presidential elections are every 4 years.
And why would anyone carry around their naturalization certificate to go vote.

And this is all to fix a nonexistent voter fraud problem.
For a replacement birth cert is $22 or Free cos the fee might b waived in texas if its for election identification.
Naturalization you can register to vote on swearing in day. and that is for REGISTRATION, You dont need to REGISTER every time, you only REGISTER once

In Texas some IDs for folks under 85yrs have a duration of 8yrs before renewal is needed for $33

The Toyota or Honda brand makes the mileage almost irrelevant here in the US. But I digress.

When you purchase a car abroad, you will be required to pay tax on it. Ship it out, then pay tax and customs duties in Nigeria, and then you will start thinking about profit margin.

If you moved a car costing 1500 dollars from USA to Nigeria, you would be able to sell it for 5,000 dollars

TV01:
buda, you have partially quoted me repeatedly- only, you quote in part and perhaps misread my intent.
I am very aware your intent is to demonise Islam and extol Christianity. Fortunately, your faux pas creeped in when you described the sort of men who read the supposed text to justify beating their wives.

You may want to let me know if it is your belief that "a man who is any combination of immature, neurotic, lacking n self control, empathy or a real love for his wife. Just stressed, angry or high even" only exists amongst Muslims and do not exist in other religions, or that it is Islam that makes men "any combination of immature, neurotic, lacking n self control, empathy or a real love for his wife. Just stressed, angry or high even". I'd be very interested to hear it.

Meanwhile, do know that it is my opinion that the below applies to you too if one includes the Quran in what you call "holy scripture".

TV01:
I have repeatedly claimed that you are ignorantly or maliciously twisting the holy scripture.
It is comical that you can't accept when Deepsight does what you claim but refuse to remove the forest from your own eyes when you do the exact same thing.

One cannot demonize Islam. We saw what happened in Jos recently.

What's strange, my Muslim friends who complain about Palestine have never said a thing about Islamic attacks in Nigeria.

There is no evidence that Garland funded Willis. That is a politically motivated lie.

Know that by your "ignore", I am assuming you are deciding to do what we agreed to do instead of present what I'd call the Tommy rhetoric. Also note that there is much resistance against the prohibition, and that there are approximately 25 to 29 Muslim MPs in the UK House of Commons, and they alone can not be the one's resisting this law passing its second reading, with a vote only after the third reading.

The Bill: The Marriage (Prohibited Degrees of Relationship) Bill, introduced by Conservative MP Richard Holden (the man in the selected region), seeks to prohibit first-cousin marriage in the UK.

The "Block": As of March 2026, the bill has not been formally "blocked" by a vote. Instead, it has repeatedly failed to progress past its second reading because the House of Commons was not sitting on the scheduled dates, or the bill was not reached in the limited time allocated for Private Members' Bills.

Government Position: Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Labour government have indicated they have "no current plans" to change existing marriage laws. Critics, including some Conservative and Reform UK figures, have characterized this refusal to support the bill as "blocking" it.

+ I never said "Christians are bound by the law" for example. I dont think Christians are bound by all of the law.
I put it to you that no human being on this earth is "bound" by any laws whatsoever.

Most countries have laws against stealing and murdering others or even beating wives, but those laws do not bind anyone such that they can not steal or murder or beat their wives or not if they so wish. The law will simply hold them to account if they do, which is not the same as binding, by which I presume you mean, "restrict so one can not break the law if one wants to".

I am of course being pedantic, note. And currently reading J. M. Kelly's A Short History of Western Legal Theory.

Just to chip in that the Church approach issues differently now - standards haven't changed though. I used the word "differently" so TV01 will not be pissed with the word "evolve". I hope I am safe to do this, TV01?
Standards have changed, ono.

No church can today justify killing people they demonise as witches, and no church can justify slavery today neither.

And for your information, Christianity evolved from Judaism, and Yahweh evolved from brimstone and fire to meek and gentle Jesus. It would have died off if it hadn't.

When you enter a Hospital in Nigeria and see a doctor Adamu and start asking if they dont have a Doctor Uche or a Doctor Ade. That Dr Adamu might have been the best graduating student in Unilag but the hidtorical bias towards Northerners already created doubts, which is what Charlie Kirk was referring to.
Sorry Raum, but Charlie Kirk was not "referring to". He was outrightly promoting an idea he knows to be false!

No reputable airline would place their multimillion dollar plane full of passengers in the hands of an unqualified pilot regardless of race or color or gender, because it's just not economically viable nor sustainable for the airline.
