Most people think America is how Hollywood portray it to be, and still get brainwashed by western media.

European leaders are shit scared of Russia especially Germany but they won't admit publicly except toothless social media sanctions.

One major leverage the US got over Europe is the amount of European gold stored in Fort Knox.

Only a few will understand..

Biden doesn't want to spark a "world war" by risking a direct clash between American and Russian troops in Ukraine and he's been open about that.

"It's not like we're dealing with a terrorist organisation," the president told NBC earlier this month. "We're dealing with one of the largest armies in the world. This is a very difficult situation, and things could go crazy quickly

I thought the US have capability to nuke Russia at the press of a button?

Zion243:



What are you saying?

Russia has always been a world power before Putin rose to power. He didn't build anything, he's only interested in military capacity as to keep himself in power and eliminate any opposition at will. The economy of Russia is nothing to reckon with. And mind you, Ukraine is already a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Russia was nothing after Soviet, ruled and exploited by Western puppets and it was Putin who got rid of them and made it his mission to rebuild Russia and and alliance of old Soviet.

How is it possible that a weak economy can rebuild and advance its military to modern standards within a short period of time?

OK They took Crimea, what happened?

SmartPolician:
Vladimir Putin invests a lot of resources in their military; the same resources he ought to use for promoting economic prosperity. From Prime Minister to President, he doesn't want to leave the corridors of power.

Communism is no longer fashionable in today's world because humans will always demand freedoms and economic prosperity. Much as it appears that Russians like Putin, I strongly believe that the day the former Soviet superpower will have a new leader will truly mark the end of the cold war between the US and Russia.

Putin should not drag over 146 million people into a stupid war he could have avoided. It's easy to start a war but nobody knows how and when it will end. You are dealing with NATO here, not just the Americans. Common sense, not ego, should prevail.

And what makes you think he hasn't been using Russian resources to develop his country? To ensure your own survival, you first have to be secured/feel secure.

Russia has been rebuilding itself in all aspects and dealing with the consequences of the Soviet fall while at the same time America is busy causing havoc and shoving democracy anywhere they can, when in fact democracy/freedom is just an illusion and a means for exploitation. Communism has been proven to be effective with visionary and loyal leaders.
Tell me a democracy that the people truly enjoy economic prosperity as it should be..?

Imagine you have a mortal enemy and he buys a house for his concubine next to yours, will you feel secured? NATO is just a proxy of US military and if indeed a war happens, America will abandon NATO and Europe.

The Western media is just hyping this up because their owners are not having it their way in easy access to the Eastern resources, and the new Russia is structured to resist America's game.

Don't let Hollywood and western media brainwash you, there's nothing special about them..

I don't know this sudden hate for the US from Nigerians.
You are clamouring for China to invade Taiwan but you would be the first to cry out loud if Libya or Egypt is to invade Nigeria.
US is meant to keep everyone on its toes.
Putin and co have repeatedly seemed to forget how WW2 went down.
I pray they don't start it cos china will live to regret it.
America can never give you war if you don't ask for one. And america have won all their wars with only one draw against Vietnamese war (which is not their war anyways).
You western haters think Russia and yesterday china will just wake up and drown America Lol.
No country, not even combine Russia and china can withstand the wrath of America.
The nuclear bomb used on japan at the second WW was the smallest and the less deadliest as of that time. Them just use it as a warning to the Japanese.
Now, use your head and imagine wetin dem get now.
A word is a enough for the wise.
If I be china, I will enjoy my economy with its large population and leave war politics to Russia.
Also, US is the world police cos without them, every tom and dick for don build nuclear weapons and some bastardized tyrants of leaders for don used it on another country by now.
I remembered when china was at the mercy of Japan. Was it not the same America they hated now that helped them?? Now the same China wants to do to Taiwan what Japan did to them. Imagine hypocrisy!
The same China wey US help with trillions of dollars to start up production in order to cub the amount of their immigrants that were trooping in to California??
Nigerians don't read history and they don't know shit.
Make fake news no make una hate America oo. That country is the last hope to humanity.

if you really know history you won't spew this garbage with such confidence..

Undermining democracy and nonsense talk..

It's quite obvious that democracy as a system of government is not fit for Africa, but they keep forcing it and using it as a tool to destabilise the continent for their own benefits.

It's quite a shame that most Africans in their usual low esteem will nod and agree to Western opinions about them simply because they've lost their own identity in a fast changing world and that's why we are so easy to manipulate.

What if we discard democracy and adopt our own system that suits our own ways of life? What if we go back in history and figure where we got it wrong?

Them oyinbos are humans just like you. They know the African potential and scared of it, and they use democracy to install incompetent leaders to give us false sense of freedom, and anyone that challenges this is labelled as bad and coup plotters.

I support the coup in Mali and other countries as long they get rid of foreign influence in their lands and take control of their resources. I'm sure France and their allies will be shitting in their pants cos they know the implications and can't stand it.

If we Africans can unite and take control of ourselves, our politics and resources rather than relying on western opinions and bullshyts, I'm sure Africa will be the least conflict zone and a force to be reckoned with. That's what they fear..

Africa should wake up and let's make their fears come to reality..

Big win for the country.

eldoradoxx:
So Nigerian Intelligence Agency a purported intelligence agency owned by Nigeria is not intelligent enough to know that information given to press by anybody is a privileged information and therefore the press is not under any obligation to disclose their source of information. Intelligence agency indeed. If the genuineness of the opinion expressed in the said leaked memo of how incompetent Rufai has been in NIA was in doubt before now, doubt it no more. NIA has shown its not run by people with brains. How do u ask journalist to disclose source of his information, about 40 years after the Nigerian Supreme Court has ruled that a journalist in Nigeria cannot be compelled to disclose the source of his information. Shameful!

When it comes to a country's security, all protocols are dammed.

It's about how such a memo meant for the president could be leaked to the press. For such to happen, a security/intelligence memo for that matter, it shows Nigeria's intelligence architecture is at risk.

Everything is not about emotions..

If it were to be in the US, that message is enough for the FBI to detain and torture and you people will hail them, but one African country is doing the same and most talking human rights..

What if it's true?

There's no human rights in stuffs like this for any nation that takes security seriously.

Chloraseptic:
Only in American army you would see Chinese, Japanese, Russian, German, British, Indian, Nigerian and the rest.. That's why they know what almost the rest of the world know but their own is not known...

China can only rub shoulders with America economically but when it comes to advance technologies and military hardware/softwares they dare not.

The Chinese are on par with the US technologically, ahead economically and catching up military wise. The fascinating part is they achieved it with home grown talents.
If there's one country that will make the US stand on its toes in all aspects, it's China..

OfoIgbo:


Akeredolu first has to consider himself a presidential material before other people can consider him.

He keeps bigging up Tinubu, no knowing that by doing that, he is psychologically ruling himself out of the race. The simple fact is that Akeredolu will be more acceptable by far, to the South and middlebelt than Tinubu.

Of course, the elephant in the room will always remain, how come Akeredolu is not supporting a SEner for that presidential position, seeing that no SEner has held that position for more than 55 years.

I reason with your first paragraph and I think he's not politically that savvy.

He runs his admin logically and in high self esteem. That's why he comes in conflict with the so called elders within and outside his party. It's those elders now, because of their influence make the loudest noise and it's them most people will believe.

He needs to work seriously on that to be considered but going by his recent commissioners appointment, he seems not to be giving a damn..

Sammy07:


Ondo people are lazy?
Are you okay at all?


List your companies in Ondo lemme run a quick check on it.

More than half of Ondo workforce are in the civil service both federal and state combined.

A state that economic activities boom on average for 10 days after salaries are paid? After, most traders will sell on credit till the next salary cycle. In between, they collect their savings from their various cooperatives to survive. The cycle continues while they await one miracle governor to save them.

Not until recently the younger people are making something for themselves at least, which is still little in the overall scheme of things.

Mimiko was the best governor during his first term, why? Cos he paid salaries regularly. His second term, he became the worst governor cos he started to owe while the people forgot the free health and shuttle buses for their children he did all through his administration.
Similarly the current one, he didn't have problems till he started owing last year, while initially praising him for his road construction works (that's another story).

Only a few break out of the group think and make something out of themselves.

Go to the streets and see the genuine reason why people complain the way they do and then compare to a more productive society and see for yourself..

Mikel Arteta came to the decision, after the Gabon international failed to report on time for a COVID-19 test after travelling to pick up his sick mother from France.

What's with Arsenal?

This is not his first or second time he's breaching club rules. As the captain, he's expected to be a good example for the younger players. Arsenal has a history of allowing players misbehave and get away with it. How will you compete at the highest level that way? I'm not a fan of Arsenal but Arteta is right on this one..

Sammy07:


Akeredolu for wetin? You don't live in Ondo, do you?

I'm a civil servant in the state and I can say with confidence that Ondo people, especially civil servants are lazy and most of them depend on salaries for survival. No capacity to improve themselves.

How can a country develop with such thinking?

He's one the best governors in my opinion but It all boils down to the mentality of our people, who always want to eat their cake and have it, and the youths have adopted similar mentality as our parents in that government is supposed to do everything for them without them being responsible.

He's disliked in my state cos he owes salary and he's building infrastructure with limited resources, he's logical and doesn't appeal to the emotions of the people. They prefer he pays them salaries instead of capital projects, share government money at will for political reasons, yet same people will complain about bad roads and why healthcare isn't 100% free and why rice is expensive.

backbencher:
He did, and because of that, he got into power.

The simple fact is that, whoever proposes the removal of fuel subsidy is going to be opposed by millions if not most Nigerians. That is what happened in 1993, 2006/7 and even in 2012.

Buhari in 2012, had lost elections several times, and was looking for a means to get power in 2015. Opposing subsidy provided the means by which he could get into power. He played cunny man, opposed subsidy along with most Nigerians, and got elected. Now, having seen how subsidies impact the economy, he has woken up. Too bad he could not listen to the wise words of people like NOI or SLS back in 2012.

But he isn't the reason why GEJ was unable to remove subsidy completely. The reason is most Nigerians, including GEJ supporters, who opposed and marched against it. If GEJ had totally removed subsidy in 2012, he would have lost the 2015 election by an even wider margin...plus APC would have brought it back, and reversed the gains being made.

So we kept a bad programme , which enriched a lot of people illicitly and further decimated domestic petrol production, to say nothing of getting us into more debt. Anyway, subsides on kerosene, diesel and gas went...good thing.

It's the same reason why even people like Abacha never contemplated total subsidy removal.

The painful thing is that if we had removed the thing in 2012, by now we would have been enjoying the benefits , and we would have been over the worst. Plus we had higher oil prices in 2012, meaning that there would have been enough cash to pay the poor to help them prosper.

INFACT, the partial removal of subsidy GEJ did was used to pay for things like SURE P and some improvements in public transport (just as the partial removal of subsidy by Abacha paid for the PTF). things THAT could not be sustained when oil prices crashed in 2014.

Anyway, subsidy has to go. The oil income is falling, and it is becoming more difficult to sustain subsidies. Unless we pay taxes at rates of 50% of our income .

One of the best comments I've seen in a while..

Congrats. Seems you removed the screenshot.

Was it is 2word domain name?

What was the major decider for spending $300+

Was it a product or service domain name?

Congrats once again.

it's two word brandable that you can add your service or industry if you choose.

Registered 2004, dropped once and taken in four extensions with two of them developed. Also it's a name I felt I can use for my business and I thought why not?

Crazeworld:
Congratulations Ramon92. Please can you explain more on how the buyer knew it is for sale?

I assume the domain has traffic so the reason you redirected it to your LinkedIn page. Did you include any message on your LinkedIn profile to show that it's for sale?

It was getting traffic on Dan and since it was the best in my portfolio, decided to forward it to 'boost' my profile. The buyer added me and asked what service I render and told him what I do which doesn't relate to domain sales.

He made me an offer and we went back and forth till we agreed.

Catastrophic:
@Ramon92

Pls is it a brandable name?

yes..

Name under NDA.

Acquired: Snapnames auction $386
HT: 4 months

Inbound sale. Listed on Dan and Afternic but later redirected it to my LinkedIn profile.
The buyer started with a conversation and from there offered 1k which I countered with 11k. Went back and forth over a few days till we agreed at 7488. He said he'd like it private so had to blur the name.

Changed to Dan NS and paid after three days. Longest 3 days of my life.

This is my second sale in over 2 years I started.

Advantages of POP

It is light in weight and more durable.
It has low thermal conductivity.
It is very good fire resistant and hence a very good heat insulating material.
It does not shrink while setting. Therefore, it does not develop cracks on heating or setting like conventional cement plaster.
It forms a thick surface to resist normal knocks after drying.
It mixes up easily with water and is easy to spread and level.
It has good adhesion on fibrous materials.
It gives a firm surface on which the colours can settle.
It has no appreciable chemical action on paint and does not cause alkali attack.
Plaster of Paris gives a decorative interior finish. Its gypsum content provides it a lot of shine and smoothness.
It can easily be moulded into any shape.

what's the current estimate for pop for ceiling 6x4 asbestos size room?

Anytime I try to reg a just dropped name on Dynadot, it goes to processing and awaiting approval, and each time I chat them up to authorize manually, most times the name gets registered one minute (according to whois) before they tell me its unavailable. This happens to good names (journal/depot, by/stitch among others) but others go instant. I'm beginning to think those agents are stealing domains on a low.
This never happen with other registrars. Who has experienced this?

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has started receiving 16 of his colleagues from Southern Nigeria, The PUNCH has learnt.

The governor arrived at Alausa, Ikeja, the venue of their meeting on the state of the nation.

The meeting is holding eight weeks after the governors met in Asaba, the Delta State capital, on May 11, 2021. At the meeting, the governors would further assess decisions taken in Asaba on the open grazing ban, restructuring, fiscal federalism and the call for state police.

Some of the early birds at the meeting include Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (Ondo), Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Adegboyega Oyetola (Osun), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), and Godwin Obaseki (Edo) represented by his deputy, Philip Shaibu.

Others are Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), Emmanuel Udom (Akwa Ibom), Diri Duoye (Bayelsa), Willie Obiano (Anambra), Ben Ayade (Cross Rivers), Ifeanyi Okowa (Delta), David Umahi (Ebonyi), Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti), Hope Uzodimma (Imo), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), and Oluwaseyi Makinde (Oyo).

Recall that the governors in a communiqué issued at the end of the meeting in Asaba, banned open grazing as part of moves to address killings and kidnapping by herdsmen.


But a few days after the meeting, the Presidency faulted the ban on open grazing. The Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, had, in a statement, said, “It is equally true that their (governors’) announcement is of questionable legality, given the constitutional right of all Nigerians to enjoy the same rights and freedoms within every one of our 36 states (and FCT), regardless of the state of their birth or residence.”

Also, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, slammed the southern governors for banning open grazing.

According to the AGF, open grazing ban is the same thing as Northern governors banning spare parts trading in their own region, considering the fact that southerners comprise a majority of spare parts traders in the North.

The President, during a recorded television interview in June, also backed Malami’s position, adding that he had directed that grazing routes be recovered.

Details later…
