caye:
Reading through this shameful post, I can very much agree with Black Americans: DE-LINEATE from Nigerians for your own safety.

I see why Nigeria was called the "Slave Coast": home of the house nigger.

I would had love to reply some comments, but I understand that nairaland had been infiltrated by intelligence agents paid all over the world , to dumb down the Nigeria youths. It's a fruitless endeavour.
Let them live & die as slaves. Hopefully a new generation of confident black men and women will arise.

It is good to tell THE TRUTH even if it doesn't favor you.
The TRUTH is that Britain did do a lot of good while pursuing their own selfish self-interest.
Check out this guy's take below😅

Forkthiefnubu:
It was never Nigeria’s and u want it back to Nigeria so that you can loot it right and use the money to marry more wives and have more girlfriends and do owambe parties

Metrofox:
Did they fight because of tribal differences or religion like India and Nigeria?

Doesn't matter. Besides, Nigeria fought for OIL not tribal differences. North went from being begged to stay in Nigeria to fighting a war for the same ONE NIGERIA they did not want!

Believeintruth:
Dude try and stop lying here. In Lancaster 1956 following the talks for independence the British gave as a precondition for Nigeria's independence that all the boundaries of colonial Nigeria must not be redrawn in any form. All those present in the talks including Awolowo all signed. The British never wanted the north to be removed from Nigeria. Zik never forced anyone to remove secession clause. I have always asked people who peddle this lie that how can one man over rule everyone one else who had supported the secession clause in that meeting? No one has ever been able to provide me an answer

I want to ask you two simple questions that anyone can answer:
If at any point the North decided they no longer wanted to be part of Nigeria could Britain have stopped them??
Another:
Was it Britain that waged a war to force the East to stay in Nigeria??

RodgersAkpafu:
How can it be true ?

So you owe them NO THANKS WHATSOEVER for anything

Metrofox:
They didn't give any giant! Go read your history books, Nigeria was and is still a business empire the way it was structured for admin purposes. Same was done in India and they eventually broke into two violently and still wanting to break up now. People have to come together voluntarily on their own terms towards any meaningful purpose

Didn't USA have a VERY BLOODY war because a section of the country no wan do again?

ycat:

Quite informative. Only that YouTube cannot be trusted

His statement is somewhat true

gistray:
They owe every country the colonized an apology.

They destroyed Nigeria and gave us a ticking time bomb

Look at those Northerners and look at the south and tell me how we are identical or will ever be the same

North and south way of life totally different and doesn't align


Imagine a United south without the Backwards North

We'd be at worst like South Africa 🇿🇦 Or Ukraine

They never forced Nigeria to stay together. Infact they were plotting that North not join independence. Nigerians didn't even include a secession clause in the constitution we drafted - infact Zik was ready to die that it NOT be included. How is that their fault? They gave us a giant that could have been great.
That we totally messed it up is NOT their fault.

YoungboyNBA:
Abeg, as for me it's much better it's shifted until Bubu is out.
I don't care about what anyone's opinion is but I know, The next Government will restore The Lost Glory.

How market?

That thing is NOT made of cement

Thewrath:
Sit at home is in honor of mazi NK!.
It is voluntary and no one is being forced…. Nnamdi kanu will never be abandoned!!

How about if you don't want to honor? Na by force o.
You come out, they kpai u

Corporate2020:
When Wike wrote 1.4 million votes for Goatluck Johnathan in 2015 against Buhari, you didn’t say it was rig, how come about 300,000 votes for Tinubu in 2023 is rigging? All these 1.4 million people that voted for Goatluck Jonathan in 2015, are they now dead?

Like I said, every party rigs if they see opportunity. Example, say the other party is beating your party by 10 votes and you see a chance to add 15 votes to yours. Only that some overdo it where it becomes unbelievable, or snatching boxes and such

Seunmsg1:
This one is bitter that he doesn't have a contract to feast on. Weyrey guy.

Someone should put the fat fool in jail like MNK

Corporate2020:
But I thought you people said Tinubu did not win, but only rigged, how can you now say someone worked for him to be President?

It is a combination. Every party rigs if they see opportunity

VTJN:
if truly you believe in destiny, then God wouldn't watch or allow Tinubu win 2027 election considering the hardship Nigerians are going through. God will shame anyone over rating him.

Well, God allowed him to become president despite the fact a sitting president was against it and a sitting vice president was running. God allows earthquakes that kill 1000's or innocent child suffering greatly then dying. You can't question God

franchasofficia:
Nobody can win Tinubu in any election Bola Tinubu organized, so every opposition should forget about 2027 because Tinubu has already won it.


Buhari was so foolish and useless that he allowed a known criminal drug Lord that confiscated Lagos state and hijacked Lagos state treasury for 23 years nonstop to use his ill gotten wealth to buy his way into Nigeria's Presidential villa, any other effort to unseat Tinubu before 2031 is going to be an effort in futility

100%.
And even 2031 is not sure. Tinubu is NOT Buhari nor GEJ. After 2031, very likely (if still alive) he'd put his stooge there and still be the real President, and whoever he puts there will be just a ceremonial figurehead. The man is a GENIUS in such moves.
Buhari tried to prevent him, even to the extent of changing Naira to make his stockpile useless. But destiny wouldn’t allow

Wannabenz:
If you read it thoroughly you'll see where it was highjacked by Ekpa when MNK was arrested.

Yeah, but it says it started b4 MNK was arrested. Also MNK came out in full support of Ekpa

Wannabenz:
Just saw this on Twitter and decided to share it here,a good read for the weekend.

They're saying it all started with MNK's IPOB?

This one is carrying South African wuru wuru to US

Let them check well - I bet he has Naija blood

Krismas:
NL value is the service they rendering. That’s wot u subscribing to

descarado:
Are you a teacher?
You are good.

I don't know how you folks don't know this:
The value of anything is WHAT PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR FOR IT!!!
That's how come bitcoin sells for $67000 though it has no intrinsic value - ZERO!
Same way, the commercial value of Nairaland is what someone would be willing to pay for it. And what would determine that? (Hint: number of subscribers determined what Elon paid for Twitter).

yinkeys:
The entire global south is bigger than the west or G7 in terms of population and GDP
They’ve been defending their dollar by waging proxy wars with individual opposing countries
However a united front of the entire south will be the end of usd dominance
Saudi didn’t renew petrodollars and will stop collecting usd
China will start reducing its usd reserves tremendously
No points arguing this
All of the entire south, even the ones that differ in a lot of ways are uniting against USA and its sanctions
USD is going to be relegated to the backseat and will no longer be number 1 global currency
Only a matter of months people will be taking gold and BRICS in exchange for resources

If only wishes were riches. See my last post, non of the Bric countries appear in the top 20. See below China hoarding of dollars INCREASED from September to August 2024. Not only that, Chinese businesses are CURRENTLY hoarding dollars and you want other countries to be fools.
(Sorry, it won't let me put up any more screenshotls)

*What is bitcoin backed by? How come people are currently paying $67000 for ONE bitcoin?

Krismas:
Russia, Iran China have been trading among themselves without dollar and Russia, the most sanctioned country in the world, is in the 10 ten economies of this world, whereas Britain and France are out of it. There must therefore be something about BRICS. The more nations see it, the more convinced they will be. See India, India sold more oil in the last 3yrs than probably Nigeria and India doesn’t have oil. They buy cheap from Russia and sell expensive to Europe. Since Europe cannot buy directly from Russia cos of sanctions. Easy trade good money. That’s BRICS, so choose wot u want

See below, 20 richest countries per capita in the world right now. Neither China nor Russia are there. Once again, how many countries are in the world? Not only that, the few Bric countries can't control what their citizens use internationally. Just as Nigerians will continue using dollar even if we join Bric

Krismas:
NL value is the service they rendering. That’s wot u subscribing to

This is ridiculous Ok, look at it this way - the value of Nairaland is what someone would be willing to pay for it. What would determine that? (Hint: number of subscribers determined what Elon paid for Twitter).

Krismas:
America is worse than Facebook. There are so many countries America have sanctioned, they can barely use the SWIFT system, there are countries where making international payments is so difficult,e.g u can’t link Nigeria banks to PayPal, we have been banned and all forms of nonsense like that. Countries are always having difficulty getting dollar, always worried as your currency crash against the dollar etc. something more stable is needed. America will weep when BRICS truly kickoff. They know it. Their last card now, is to stop it by a war!

If only wishes were riches. Just because you wish something doesn't make it so. Why do you think countries are NOT trooping to BRIC? Do you think they're so happy with dollar? Simple: they're not stupid. China itself has the highest dollars by far - over 700 billion!

Pzpropertylimit:
How on earth will NIGERIA be missing out of this ? Oh my country

Because Nigeria is NOT stupid. Like most countries, they know it's going nowhere

Krismas:
NL must deliver value, dats what u subscribing for. The value is the back. And that value is expected to yield profit. Why are u not subscribed to me?

What's your point? Nairaland value is the number of active users it has. Full stop!
I don't know what you're arguing.

yinkeys:
Mass adoption loading
It’s going to be traded & dumping of $ reserves will be underway
Strongest currency ever because multiple economies are involved
Won’t be as strong and inflation resistant as gold though

Do you want to bet money on it? If it ever gets off the ground at all it'll be a novelty currency and will have much less effect on dollar than the Euro.
How much u want to bet?

Krismas:
The ability to trade in several currencies is the beauty of BRICS. Imagine the day u will pay for something online in China with Naira using your ATM card! That’s what’s about and not to limit the 120countries to one single currency. An international measure of weighing the values of currencies vis a vis themselves directly, then trading with them without further ado. That’s BRICS

No one is saying it's not a good thing, just that things don't work like that in real life. You can't wave a wand and make people abandon Facebook and go to a better start-up platform.

Krismas:
Customers are not what back the business. Business is opened to cater to customer needs. If they don’t use Twitter, they will use another SMP, as long as that need arises. The back of your cater business is all the facilities u provide to make the business functional at peak quality and also able to pay damages should any arise, to assure your customers

Nonsense. Social media is not traditional business. The value of Nairaland is how many active users. That's what a prospective buyer would look at. Elon had a law suit about Twitter because he said they inflated their number of users. Usage is the value, nothing else

Krismas:
EU countries were part of the agreement in Bretton, TO MAKE THE DOLLAR THE WORLD CURRENCY.
It wasn’t due to the Stella performance of the dollar, it was just an agreement and since then, oil is bought and sold in dollars. Just like tradition.

And how easy is it to break tradition once established?
There are some 120 countries in the world. How many are in Bric and can those Bric countries really control what currency their citizens trade in internationally?

Krismas:
Twitter is backed by the sum Elon Musk paid to acquire it. Every business is always backed by the startup capital

This is childish. Twitter is backed by the fact people use it. If people stopped using it it'd be worth zero no matter how much Musk paid for it

Krismas:
dollar was backed by oil. Unless that continues, the dollar will inevitably collapse.
U can’t put something on nothing

Dollar has gone waaay beyond oil. Why do you think US can antagonize Arabs at will and not worry they might stop selling oil in dollars?
