bemeruca:And you , who will compare a Singapore that is a single city, and one quarter the population of Lagos to Nigeria that is over three hundred ethnicities and over two hundred million people, you can tell the difference between an apple and an orange? |

DeepSight:Let's say Nigeria's water board was functioning at 15% in the 90s, then it vanished instead of moving from 15% to 20%, reaching more people. That's a fail, it's a failed state. |

15 charged in a total of $90 million fraud. More to go.

bemeruca:Look, I cannot quarrel with disappointment about things like that. And I am not saying you shouldn't be. There are many such things. For example I doubt that we will experience steady electricity in our lifetime. Look at the national carrier for example. What can we say across board, so many to point to. It's just that you have to recognize that it's an arduous journey building a nation. Look at the difference made by the Dangote refinery. That alone probably means the years of fuel scarcity are over. It is gonna be a heck of long rough road, but that is the story of nations. Rare are those tiny countries that have so much resources that they can just buy everything in one generation like a Kuwait or UAE. I trust you know that with the UAE for example, the local people are just five percent of the population. The rest are expatriates. That is the kind of country you will try to compare with a Nigeria. That is madness. |

DeepSight:This is exactly the point. You are now admitting the failure is real, but you still want to dress it up as nation-building is hard. Nobody denied that nation-building is hard. The point is that you cannot build a nation without basic knowledge of maintenance, continuity, planning, and accountability. How do you do that with no vision, no plan, no progress? Look at Port Harcourt. I have watched them several times destroy roads, cause suffering, waste time, waste money, and bury pipes in the ground knowing very well that water will never flow through those pipes. And even if water flows once, the system will collapse again because nobody is thinking about maintenance, pressure control, leak detection, service delivery, or long-term operation. That is not a young nation growing. That is incompetence. Projects are abandoned all over Port Harcourt because one government does not see the previous government’s projects as part of public interest. Every new administration wants to start its own thing, award its own contracts, reward its own people, and destroy continuity. That is why we keep going in circles. I will be the first to recognize when things change. Our problem in Nigeria is not only with the politicians. If you recognize the Igbo state of Biafra today, I can guarantee you they will start killing themselves and a new divide and struggle will appear within Biafra. |

bemeruca:Absolutely correct I’m not your type . I can afford my own Benz. Actually several Benzes, and not the beat down kind. You can impress some other kind of lady with that Benz talk.. That’s why this conversation is very amusing to me. Keep it to politics please . And find something safe to do.👋🏽 |

cococandy:That's what they all say. You'd be calling me everyday about how being a baby mama would change your life 😂😂😂 I'd be saying you are not my type. |

Mtchew. I literally gave you one concession where I said you didn’t say anything terrible and this is where it’s led to. You conservative men are all the same. Easy. bemeruca: |

bemeruca:He said Benz. I guess his "company" "bought" him "another" car and he "upgraded' from "his" Range Rover. Sooo many quotations. |

DeepSight:South Korea. Should I also add Ireland Now hit me with the excuses |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by raumdeuter: 5:44pm On May 23 |
DeepSight:So was Israel just created in 1948 or they have existed 3000yrs ago If they have existed 3000yrs ago then where is their land? Would it be the same one you will claim they stole |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by DeepSight(m): 5:51pm On May 23 |
raumdeuter:I should not bother with these bad examples. Aside from the fact that they were part of already existing and progressing states, Ireland's independence goes as far back as the early 20th century. But these are just really bad examples. Korea before the war that caused the split dates back over one thousand years. You cant possibly be this ignorant. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by DeepSight(m): 5:52pm On May 23 |
raumdeuter:Well its a really complex and detailed topic and with the way you discuss I am not encouraged to enter this matter with you. It requires patient study, scholarly rigor and openness of mind. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by raumdeuter: 5:55pm On May 23 |
DeepSight:Just like Nigeria was already part of a progressing Bini, Oyo etc empire that probably dates back to a thousand years Most countries in Africa were part of a progressing society for thousand years Mali for example was a great empire for thousand year |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by DeepSight(m): 6:00pm On May 23 |
raumdeuter:Doesnt work for Nigeria. Nigeria was not a country. There was nothing like Nigeria. There were hundreds of small kingdoms and states. Korea was a country. There was something like Korea one thousand years ago just as there was something like England one thousand years ago. Its not the same thing AT ALL. Mali is a different matter. Many tilts, such as the Ghana Kingdom, the Songhai Empire passed through its evolution. |

bayelsaowei:The country isn't full when it comes to white South Afrikaans. But, this is also what systematic racism looks like. Something Raumdeuter will tell you doesn't exist. |

DeepSight:
Justice is coming for lawfare Democrats. I’ve said it on over 5,000 media hits. I know it’s slower than we’d like, but it’s coming. A special grand jury is seated in Fort Pierce. Subpoenas are going out. Joe diGenova is on board. Jason Reding Quiñones has 15 people on his team and growing. Comey. Brennan. Clapper. Blinken. Sullivan. Jack Smith. What these lawfare Democrats did was republic-ending, unacceptable, and inexcusable. And they will be held accountable. So this never happens again. Thanks for having me, @JoeTalkShow Keep calling them. conspiracy theories. Joe di Genova was hired by Trump to counter Robert Mueller inquisition in 2016 ,later on he played. big role in the 2020 election petitions. He knows what those rotten democrats and their judges did.. Jack Smith also targeted him.He is leading the Florida prosecutorial team this time Trump 1.0 was full of traitors. Bill Barr made sure Russiagate masterminds were not indicted. He ran out the clock. DOJ has moved to quash the case against proud boys. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/28148817-proudboysdismot052226pdf/ |

basilico:Under 45, there were adults in the room who could look the racist rapist in the eye and say no sir, you are wrong. Under 47 there are no such men and women of substance. |

Called it. I wonder if he will be eligible for the weaponization fund? lol The crazy thing is that the government could have done this the right way, deported him by now and saved the US tons of money. But all they know is vindictiveness and incompetence. Where's Raumdeuter to tell us all how this guy was a drug dealing terrorist. At some point you have to realize listening to and repeating the Trump administrations propaganda always makes you look foolish in the end. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/05/22/judge-dismisses-criminal-case-against-kilmar-abrego-garcia-00934244

DeepSight:Many countries in Europe did not exist 1000yrs ago too The current Italy was a combination of smaller kingdoms and states. Many of the countries in Europe were under the Roman Empire or smaller kingdoms before they morphed into their current state For an England that existed 1000yrs ago we have Egypt Mali Ethiopia. For an Italy who was a combination of smaller kingdoms and states we have Nigeria Germany was a lose collection of cities, kingdom states like Nigeria too. Like we have Saxony Bavaria Prussia etc we have Bini Oyo Zaria |
