This YT channel is fake news. It peddles GOP misinformation and clickbait titles. Not credible in the slightest. |
There are no transmission lines between Algeria and Niger so this is aload of bullshit. It would take years to build transmission lines and Niger has been cut off from the World Bank and IMF to get the funds to do it. Even if there was, how would Niger pay for it because I doubt Algeria would give them electricity for free. |
Considering whats currently happening, liquidity in shortage, food inflation skyrocketing, no electricity, salaries hasn't been paid etc. I wonder how long before the other generals pull another coup to overthrow their Junta. One thing I am sure of, a refugee crisis into Northern Nigeria but at least its better than the option of war. |
thisisit:No, Democracy needs strong institutions and a educated populous to keep politicians accountable to work. It functions fine in Botswana, Namibia, Seychelles, Mauritius, Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana etc. What your saying is that Africans are too dumb to know how to run a functioning democracy which is clearly not the case. Tell me, has the terrorism since the military take over of Mali and Burkina Faso increased or decreased? Last I checked, Jihadists are now a few kilometers from Bamako and terrorists in Burkina Faso control 40% of the country. Al-Qaeda are now killing Wagner mercenaries along Mali-Niger border. We have seen this happen countless times especially in the 20th century, they end up in a complete shitshow 99% of the time. Wagner is just being used to protect corrupt regimes, in exchange they let them massacre at will, & plunder gold, minerals, wood etc. Said autocrats always vote for illegal Russian wars in the UN. Africans in the cities are fed Russian propaganda to drum up anti-French sentiment to gain their support while they remain ignorant of Wagner killing innocent Africans in the countryside where minerals are located. It has happened in Syria, they are currently torturing, raping, and killing innocents in Ukraine, now they are doing it in Mali and Burkina Faso soon to come to Niger. One example would be the lie that Niger provides France most of its uranium when infact over 70% of France's uranium comes from Kazakshstan, Canada, and Australia. France has been closing mines such as Niger's Cominak mine closed this spring. Niger that depends on foreign international aid has been cut off. Their electricity which Nigeria provides the bunk of it has been cut off. Benin has been seized food heading for Niger. Niger currency soon be completely worthless to import anything. Niger has been a shithole since the beginning and it will be a shithole in a decade. Nothing will change with the military dictatorship. |
Horus:Whole population will fight ECOWAS? Nairaland and their funny jokes. Niger is not remotely comparable to Vietnam. The only people fighting in guerilla warfare against the United States at the time were the North Vietnamese communists in the thick jungles which they lost in every major engagement they had with the US military. Military lost the political battleground back home and were forced to pull out of Vietnam, not because the Vietnamese were "beating" the United States. Same way the Talibans up in the mountains waited for the US to leave and called it a victory. If war broke out, most will run for their lives causing a massive refugee crisis. Some unhinged civilians with no battlefield experience would fight and die in vain as the regime is toppled. Anyway, the Northern Nigerian senators have blocked Tinubu from using military action so Niger will just have to suffer from the crippling sanctions placed on them which they wont last 6 months under not just from ECOWAS but from the US and EU too locking them out of international trade. You will become another Zimbabwe. And without foreign aid that was helping Niger fight insurgency, will fall in no time. |
These corrupt Juntas that eventually morph into human right abusing, corrupt dictatorships. It happens every time without fail. A lot of Africans are hypocrites, they moan about AU not doing jackshit but when ECOWAS finally does something they cry online about it. |
Kenneth4u205:An insurgency is different from an conventional war. It would be like saying British cant stomp every African country because they struggled fighting the IRA for 25 years. It would do you a lot of good to learn the difference. |
Christistruth03:How many times do we have to go through this until some Africans stop falling for populist talking points to woo the masses? It always starts out as populist "pro-people" right before they morph into brutal human right abusing regimes by a bunch of power hungry armed idiots as if we learned nothing from 2nd half of the 20th century. This is why learning history is important, otherwise you get aload of numskulls that have never lived under militarism thinking its a wonderful idea. |
FatherOfJesus:

FatherOfJesus:Bro, what will Niger do to Nigeria, honest question? Niger has less personnel than the Nigerian reserves. They have two fighter jets. No battle tanks. One Attack Helicopter. Has no access to any seaport which Nigeria can cut them off from any needed suppiles and close the air spaces. Plus Niger depends on Nigeria economically. This would be over before it even began without the help of NATO. Even if they do result to Guerilla warfare which will prolong the war than it has to, the end result will more or less the same as Boko Haram. Restricted to a few villagers and no longer really rendered as a dosmetic threat. Plus, the US military was never militarily defeated by the North Vietnamese. US won every single major engagement they were in, they only lost on the domestic politics back in their home country and South Vietnam not wanting to really fight America decided enough was enough. If America wanted to, they could easily come here in full force and wipe out Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea, and Niger along with Wagner with ease. French, Foreign Legion could easily do the same as well. Your Russian masters wouldn't be able to do shit as they are currently getting their ass handed to them in Ukraine. Its like saying US lost to the Taliban when American soldiers infact kicked their Taliban ass into hiding into the mountains and caves and ran the country for 20 years no problem until dosmetic politics got in the way again. |
Horus:Surprise, surprise. Corrupt Juntas supporting other corrupt Juntas and I guarantee they wont be backing down by the end of this weeks deadline. If Nigeria just leave things as they are, it will only get worse. To be fair, Niger was already politically unstable but they will try convincing some Junta, corrupt wannabe general in Nigeria and Ghana to do the same. Thats how serious the problem is. Nigeria along with the other sane ECOWAS members should honestly go in with the backing of NATO and take 4 birds out with one stone nor will Wagner be a problem. Russia can't afford to fight on two fronts, they have their hands full getting their ass kicked in Ukraine. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WntjAM2wqF8 |
FatherOfJesus:Sezwho has pretty much said I was going to say but heres something for you to know for next time. Fighting an insurgency which terrorists can blend in with the local populous is not the same as fighting a conventional war a country. |
Yeeeeeeaaaah...Going to have to press X for doubt on that one. Seriously, what is with all these fucking traitors in Nigeria? Why are you supporting the ousting of a democratically elected leader and supporting the downfall of Africa to become Russian puppet states? Stop sucking Putin's dick because if this invasion goes through which I hope it doesn't, then the only one facing humiliation would be your master in Russia.

MXrep:Their nuclear bombs are probably all bootlegs so it would explode before it even gets off the ground. wisco4real:The Chinese PLA have no military experience. They are all conscripts. They ran away from a bunch of rebels in South Sudan leaving all their equipment behind. I very much doubt they are a match for Nigeria's military just like how Russia has proven to be a paper tiger against Ukraine. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/oct/06/un-peacekeepers-refused-to-help-south-sudan-rebels-raped-aid-workers-report The stinking Indians literally had to save the aid workers!

Yeah, dont care. The website has been failing since Elon took over, crashes every so often now. Also, bluetick Twitter version of subscriptions and now limiting amount of tweets we can read unless you subscribe to Bluetick? Lmfao. I guess its a plus considering the amount of Alt-Right, tinfoil hat wearing, thick as pig shit conspiracy theorists are on there nowadays. |
stanech:It should be entirely based on merit but the amount of plagiarizing is crazy. The Legacy admissions should completely go but from what I have heard, all the elite universities in the USA are dropping the SAT requirements from Harvard to all the Ivy Schools even then there been reports of mass cheating when it came to Asian students and SAT scores mostly from China and South Korea. https://time.com/3546635/sat-cheating-china-korea-college-board/ https://www.voanews.com/a/sat-scores-of-asian-students-cancelled-over-cheating/4009281.html They are literally paying unemployed Kenyans called Ghost writers to write their essays and thesis papers for them, earning $14.5k per month doing it. If I remember correctly, there was a BIG fiasco of a Korean woman, daugther of some minister, paying a Kenyan to write her papers. https://www.kenyans.co.ke/news/75459-academic-paper-written-kenyan-ignites-debate-south-korean-parliament |
jedisco:I dont know why any Nigerian man much less black man would want a cavebeast as a housewife. They expire past the age of 25 and then start looking like one of those undead ghouls from Michael Jackson's thriller in their mid 30s. Get yourself a real woman ya loser. A black one. |
Shma2022:Thanks! First red flag, the website title but I will withhold judgement for now. |
Shma2022:Would be mighty kind of you to post the actual study link instead of giving us partial screenshots to fit your creationist narrative your going for. |
nothing from DSI is credible including the lie about DNA that creationists parrot. Humans didn't come from apes, humans are apes, family of great apes just like we are mammals etc that Share 98.8% of our DNA with our closest primate relatives, Chimpanzees and Bonobos. "Genetically, we share more than 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees and bonobos. From this perspective, chimpanzees are mostly human and vice versa. But, in genetics, some changes matter more than others. That 1-plus percent of DNA that differs between our species has obviously led to some fairly significant changes." https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/how-closely-related-are-humans-to-apes "If human and chimp DNA is 98.8 percent the same, why are we so different? Numbers tell part of the story. Each human cell contains roughly three billion base pairs, or bits of information. Just 1.2 percent of that equals about 35 million differences. Some of these have a big impact, others don't. And even two identical stretches of DNA can work differently--they can be "turned on" in different amounts, in different places or at different times." https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/permanent/human-origins/understanding-our-past/dna-comparing-humans-and-chimps Other creationist lies about DNA that mutations that can only eliminate traits and not produce new features debunked that biology has catalogued many traits produced by point mutations bacterial resistance to antibiotics, for example. Einstein acknowledged the existence of a creatorI don't think I ever doubted Einstein great contributions to Science like his theory of relativity nor did I deny that he wasn't a genius but even though he believed in a god, einstein believing in a god does not prove nor is it evidence of a creator so it doesn't help your argument. Plus, he was an agnostic, he found the very idea of a personal God was child-like nor did he believe any of the creationist dogmatic nonsense people at DI peddles. Refer to picture number 1 hand written God letter in 1954 in German. "The God is For me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive, legends which nevertheless pretty childish" Einstein clarified that he wasn't an atheist but a agnostic nor does he believe in and afterlife that one life was more than enough for him "For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people" "As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other human groups, although they are protected from worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything chosen about them." To Einstein: A Life, a biography published in the mid 90s, he was devotedly religious as a child but at the age of 13, he abandoned his uncritical religious fervour, as he felt deceived believing in lies. He only believes in Spinoza god referring to Baruch Spinoza, 17th century Dutch thinker. People like you do a great disservice to the Physicist when you seek him out to legitimise your belief in god or in his absence. Stephen Hawkins assertion would be correct and logical option. There is no scientific evidence for a god so there is no need to believe in one that doesn't make him bitter. Infact he advocated for living the best life you can despite his rare condition of neurological disease and despite causes being unknown that doesn't mean that proves the existence of a god either. I believe our minds are limited; thinking about the creator is like thinking about infinity, IMPOSSIBLE! Science can't, no human can _ Quantum physicians have failed to scale the entire universe.Your right in the sense that our brains have a limited capacity in the amount of information it can store in its trillions of synapses, but it's big enough that it doesn't hinder the amount we can learn from despite the limited capacity. Also, there is nothing to think about because there is no evidence to suggest one exists hence its nothing more than creationist propaganda to move the problem of confronting evidence for their claims. Quantum physicians have failed to scale the entire universe.Even though the fabric of space itself is expanding, and even though light can move through space at the ultimate cosmic speed limit (the speed of light), there’s a limit to how far away we can see. With forces like Dark matter moving stars and galaxies further away from each other and universe constantly expanding, the only thing we will be able to see amusing humanity lasts that long is our galaxy and nothing outside of it. https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2019/05/21/this-is-why-we-will-never-know-everything-about-our-universe/?sh=783ae5a36296 Evidence of God's existence is widely available through creation, which I've given you.You can't use the unsubstantiated claim that your god made all of existence to justify the unsubstantiated claim that your god exists. Prove your god exists first then maybe we can talk about what it has done. The conscience, rationality our own experiences will give you answers! And it's quite appalling that you could actually believe the existence of 3 Billion year DNA BS while ignoring other Holly books. Biblical faith is checkable; it opens itself up for public scrutiny. If you can't be open-minded; you will never find the answer you're seeking.My rationale is telling me your creationism is bullshit as well as your God you have yet to prove exists lol. Holy books are fiction written by men full of superstitions and bedtime stories thus it is a unreliable source hence it is not evidence. "BS" because it doesn't align with your creationist propaganda? "All multicellular organisms, from fungi to humans, started out life as single cell organisms. These cells were able to survive on their own for billions of years before aggregating together to form multicellular groups. http://elifesciences.org/articles/56349

Shma2022:Lol, what blogs? Your not providing any citations for your absurd claims. You are giving vague quotes and discrediting reowned scientists such as Hawkins. You still haven't given any evidence for this "supernatural force" your talking about. Your biased sources of information are coming from creationist propagandists like DI and frauds like Casey whose work such as Science and human Origins which have never been verified with a Phd that has nothing to do with evolutionary biology and is just a spoke piece for DI push creationist propaganda of intelligent design which is not real science, meaning all of your arguments never held any credibility in the first place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRxq1Vrf_Js https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akv0TZI985U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVQGQz-0Xeo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFPHvvJWVAk |
theenchanter:I should honestly adopt the same mindset. I had my suspcions on where he was getting his information from the moment he began using the word "woke" and then it came out. The Discovery Science Insitute whoose papers have never been peer reviewed and publishes its own "scientific" journals that no real scientist on earth considers to be real science journals. DSI is a USA based religious (Christian) Right, creationist think tank. A front for pseudo-science and anti-scientific propaganda rejected within Science community. The DSI employs pseudo-science and illogical propositions to lend credibility to specious arguments while promoting Abrahamic holy writ over genuine intellectual enquiry and scientific method. His entire argument can be disregarded. Its the same with Charles Murray and his book, IQ & the bell curve thats popular among the Alt-Right for obvious reasons. Murray neither Hernstein are experts in genetics that try to make a genetic case for race. Charles is also a proven racist. His book has never been peer reviewed either and promotes race science bullshit like those you saw in 19th century. |
theenchanter:I know his going to come back with more bullshit but I just give up. You cant win with these kind of people this delusional. So, I decided to officially end it there. |
Shma2022:First, stop using words you dont understand like the term "woke" and others associated with it like "SJW" and "PC" otherwise you make yourself sound stupid like the alt-right Americans who interchangably use the word "commie" for anything they dont like. Secondly, Religion is a belief based on blind faith, atheists use science and rationality to denounce religion, they are not equivalent. Cosmos synonymous with "universe" can be explained away by the theory of the Big Bang first postulated based on the evidence that the universe is expanding, cosmic microwave radiation, and dark matter. What we dont claim to know what preceded or caused the big bang whereas you theists claim that "god did it" without providing any evidence for this god. You idiotically keep making claims while dodging the questions for evidence for this supernatural magical force you keep talking about that relates back to your creator/god for "x" event to have happened. We know how planets form, from particles in a disk of gas and dust, colliding and sticking together as they orbit the star takes millions of years. We know how stars form from combination of multiple gases and have nuclear fusion maintaining the star's core. We know how galaxies form and how blackholes form. Stuff like the laws of physics are just descriptions of reality, observations made by humans that we will always be ready to edit whenever new information is discovered. No god or magical force required. Thirdly, theory of Evolution states that human beings are apart of the primate family who we shared a common ancestor with apes millions of years ago so there was no "first human". Our species evovled from other hominids and interbreeding less than 300,000 years ago. If you keep going back down the family tree it leads back to single cell orgamisms that reproduced asexually 3 billion years ago. This is backed by evidence of DNA tracing, fossils, their place within the geological column, comparative anatomy and homology, biogeography. Fourthly, Human beings are created when a sperm and mothers egg cell meets in the fallopian tube. When the sperm enters the egg cell it becomes what is called a zygote when combined. The zygote contains all the genetic information (DNA) from your mother and father to produce a baby. Holy shit, basic biology right there folks. When I mean that my mother and father are my creator I dont mean as in they are my god you dumbass I mean they are literally the two who created me carrying half of their genetic information (sperm and egg cell) needed to create life. Also, animals (humans included) wanting to breed is just our natural instinct wanting to reproduce and pass on our genes dolt. No supernatural force, lmfao. Fifth and lastly, Scientists, mathematicians, etc, can believe in a god if they want but that doesn't change the fact that there is no scientific evidence (or any form of evidence) to prove there is one. Stephen Hawking is a famous one and one of the greatest minds to ever grace humanity. He released a special called "is god real" and the answer was no. Plus, you haven't backed up any of your claims so stop using Science when you clearly have no knowledge of it nor is any of it compatible with religion. Its embarrassing. You can also go and watch Richard Hawkins, another great one and destroys the existence of a god in his debates too. The reason you cant prove (keyword here) anything to me is because you dont have any evidence for your beliefs. Hence. You. Are. Delusional. So, thank you for proving my assertion you have a cognitive problem. Thank you and goodbye. |
Shma2022:Bruh, lay off the drugs. I never said Science disproves the existence of a god much less claim it "creates" shit, lol. You literally quoted what I said yet it still went over your head, that Science merely explains the natural phenomena backed by evidence that contradicts your biblical views that rely on faith. And I believe I told you this last time, but if you believe in things without any evidence, then you are simply delusional and gullible. You have yet to give any evidence for anyone here to believe your god actually exists. So, until you can do that I will end it here. Sidenote, my answers to your questions are in my previous posts so if your not getting it then clearly you have a cognitive problem. Seeya.

tsdarkside:Its no different from the Caribbean, you know? Our hospitality seems to be our downfall, the moment our ancestors had let these foreigners in and before we knew it, our people were being horded off as slaves from west to east, land taken, being forced to side in their wars or threaten with sanctions, and now presently abused by said foreigners in our lands and complete disrespect of a country sovereignty like whats happening to Uganda right now. I dont have anything against gay people nor do I believe they should be killed or rather it shouldn't be anyones business what gay people do behind closed doors but America taking away aid from Uganda and threatening them with economic sanctions while they turn a blind eye away from their friends in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the middle east that have laws to execute gay people too reeks of utter hypocrisy. Plus sanctions will only further the hate against the LGBT and ordinary people will suffer the most. |
GeneralDae:My ancestors bought to Barbados during the trans-Atlantic slave trade were from the modern-day country of Nigeria, southwest of the country where Yoruba people originate and Oyo empire. After WW2, the British asked those within the commonwealth to come and help rebuild the UK's economy, from those who immigrated from the carribean, this is known as the windrush generation my grandmother and mother were apart of. Surely you must have heard how UK home secretary tried to deport them and horribly backfired leading to a national apology and people affected given reparations. I, myself, was born in the UK. I'm using a Dinka name as my display name, "Nyakim". Yes, I ultimately descend from Nigerians. |
tsdarkside:But it seems to happen all over Africa since China started their BRI though I have been hearing less about it in recent years. The alchemist club run by a Korean in Nairobi had his merchant license revoked after practicing some South African style apartheid shit. Consider the fact that only happened during election time when governor was re-running to stay in her position. So, it was just a tactic to win votes. Ruto did the same thing by drumming up anti-Chinese sentiment in the country to win masses votes. Also, fact Nairobi merchants had a recent protest wanting chinese gone. |
Appisko:Dunno why it matters whether I'm Ghanaian or Nigerian but... I'm actually British, black. Descendant of bajan slaves. DNA wise (test), i'm descended from the Yoruba people in Nigeria while using South Sudanese, Dinka name. |
Honestly, shouldn't Kenya follow some examples from Nigeria? Apparently, Ruto did ban the exportation of tea in its raw state to boost revenue for tea farmers and to create jobs. Agriculture dominates a large part of the Kenyan nominal GDP and makes up for most of its rural workforce. According to the data (I dont know how old the data is) I did find, the Kenyan tea pickers made about £24 per month on average, which is honestly downright criminal despite Kenya being the third largest tea exporter. https://waronwant.org/sites/default/files/A%20Bitter%20Cup.pdf https://www.statista.com/statistics/264189/main-export-countries-for-tea-worldwide/ |
Biology science didn't come from nothing! If biology science is that superior; then indeed they should be God. Biology and science didn't create you; it's fundamental way to understand nature by developing explanations for structures, process and history of nature! like determining the presence of an exoplanet through the wobble of its host sta. "PRESENCE," in it's term: Already existing!I believe I already gave you the definiton of what Science is and Biology explains how life on earth began and evolved. Rest of your comment can be dismissed as religious babble backed by no evidence of your claims. This is laughable! You have been here for pretty much TWO or THREE decades Plus! You know parents produce children but they don't create them. Let's try another logic! We know the process is unending. Someone had to give birth to your parents and the trends strings that way to your greatest grand parents! Long ago, people were not that many_ meaning we're stringing along pyramidic theorem! There must be a human on top on the chain_ science can't do that! There must be an eternal being somewhere taking charge and checking the trend!Oh boy. All life descends from single cell organisms that were created by several chemical compounds deep within our oceans later evolved over the span of 3 billion years to where we are today.Make sure to actually read what I said. Theory of Evolution explains this pretty well actually, Humans are one of many species of hominid primates. We evolved from other animals that can be traced back down to single cell organisms 3 billion years ago. This is not up for debate. Whats astounding though is the fact that you know that the female o ovum needs a male sperm to fertilize the egg to produce life but then you start bringing your religious dogma that life needed a creator which I have already debunked. So, yes. My parents essentially are my creators, they are the ones who birthed into being not your genie wish granting friend in the sky. SnipBasically, your entire statement comes down to "Haha, you can't prove God doesn't exist either!" which is a typical theist argument and when asked for proof, they default to "just look around you for evidence". No, I can't prove god doesn't exist, no one can prove god doesn't exist nor can anyone prove Hogwarts doesn't exist either but I can say I see no evidence for a god so I see no reason to believe in your god. It is that simple. Also, this is not how any of this works. You got to provide evidence for your assertion to prove to me that your god exists. You are the original claimant, It is not my job to look for it myself.That is how debates work and basis of innocent-until-proven-guilty in the law of court. I'm not going to keep going round in circles with you about this especially considering you have next to no knowledge on anything Science related. |
