Mabuggi88:
And you think JD Vance doesn't know all that? He literally said what he said for a reason. You can't come here to denigrate him, a person of his caliber? He actually said that for a reason

What “calibre” does JD Vance have?

Do you actually think he is there based on merit?

You people are so ignorant.

I’m sure in your colonised head his pink skin is his “calibre”.

Umu ewu.

Mabuggi88:
You must see India there. I don't know why Nigerians denigrate India

India has 1.2 billion people.

Why should they not have many billionaires?

It doesn’t mean India is Paradise though, because western embassies there are packed with Indians desperate to Japa.

Complete the thing first nau….before hyping..

I watched in dismay as this governor who calls himself a professor, paraded his infrastructural achievements during President Tinubu’s recent visit to Anambra state.

All the roads had open drains.

I was so shocked and perplexed.

Soludo, you know better than this.

Nobody builds roads like that anywhere in the world today - or ever.

You must cover your drains and build pedestrian sidewalks.

Pedestrians are taxpayers, Mr Soludo, and they are entitled to a designated walking space on the roads you are building.

So build your roads according to international best practices and global standards, which we know you are aware of.

Thank you.

Most of the movies are substandard. They now shoot movies with very few persons and use almost 1 location.

It is like trying to watch a skit but for an extended period of time. They will soon saturate YouTube and maybe move on to TikTok.

Inferiority complex.

Everything from your own country is always “substandard” in your head.

We don’t care.

White worshippers.

Won’t you tell your new pope to announce that Jesus and Mary were blacks?

Or you don’t know they were all depicted as blacks in antiquity?

You don’t know the popes worship the original black Jesus behind closed doors?

Talking crap about “prophecy”.

Kemetian:
Hehehehe…🤭

Guys pretending they did not read this part….

I thought you people said Oyinbo brought civilisation to us?

Can you apply that quote to any city in Nigeria or AFRICA today?

Or even in the WORLD?

For where?

I can’t think of any country on Earth today where you can build a house without doors, because there is no theft.

Yet we think the whites ‘civilised’ us.

They de-civilised us.

MrPresident1:
Being classified Black or White was never about the degree of melanation of one's skin

All these Jesus is, Black Jesus is Black, you people should rest, you are being ignorant purveying Black Jesus.

Jesus is risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept, how then can you continue calling him black? Is something wrong with you?

Black: Negro: Necro: Niger: Necrosis

Stop trying to be over -clever.

Jesus was a black man.

You are a black man.

When you leave this world, you will be remembered as a black man, not a white man.

So why should Jesus be regarded as a white man?

Does the concept of Truth have any space in your head, or are you a criminal dwelling in lies?

Kobojunkie:
I didn't insult him. I simply pointed out that he is an adherent of the black-jesus myth, whose genesis is actually traced to mostly African American roots -- most likely 20th century beginnings.

I don't worship a white Jesus Christ; I am not religious. However, the fixation on the skin color of a man who was of Israelite decent and insistence that his skin matched one's simply because, speaks volumes of ones private insecurities.

Why are you calling it the ''black Jesus myth''?

How is it a myth? Up till the 17th century or so, all the images of Jesus and the Hebrews were of blacks. That is not disputable. There are literally thousands of images similar to what the OP posted, on Pinterest. Images from old European churches in Russia, Poland, France, Germany, Italy.

So how did the skin color change to white?

And why are you ignoring the bible verse that describes Jesus as having skin like burnished bronze?

If you are rejecting your own bible evidence plus historical artwork evidence, then you are clearly not interested in worshiping God or Jesus, but the white man.

SocialJustice:
Let's assume Jesus is actually black, what is the actual value for the modern day poverty stricken Nigerian?😒

It’s not about “let’s assume”.

Your own Bible tells you he was a Black man.

So what are you “assuming”?

As for “what value does he add?”

Well, what value did your fake white Jesus add?

Kobojunkie:
This notorious inferiority-complex-laden tale bearer is back with his many tales again! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Aaah, Kobojunkie.

Why are you insulting the man for posting images of the Black Jesus and Mary and the apostles?

It seems you don’t actually worship God or Jesus.

You worship the white man.

That’s so sad.

When will you worship ‘in truth’ as your bible directs?

papyjaypaul:
One day, we will celebrate our own and leave the British own alone.

You think any of these thoughtless mumu “journalists” and ‘Nigerians’ even think along those lines?

Left to them they will be addicted to the English league for the next 10 million years.

Dumbasses with no dignity or sense.

PressMyButton:
Thank Goodness, our Justice system is no longer tolerating nonsense, it is finally waking up. If I were the Judge, he would get 12years with an option of hard labor. Nonsense guy refusing to accept Naira as legal tender, see head like table tennis. If you loved dollars that much, why not relocate to the US. Anyone who lacks home training, Nigeria is ready to give you one.




After God, na Tinubu 💪 God bless Nigeria

Well spoken.

IF HE ONLY TRADES IN DOLLARS HE SHOULD GO AND LIVE IN AMERICA.

This is not rocket science.

NothingDoMe:
Lol. Laws of gravity work everywhere on earth.

Tourism click bait.

It is 100% fact, Mr Man.

This is incredible.

The laws of gravity do not work in this part of Kenya!

This Africa is a truly mysterious continent!

Joe that slept on duty and over 1 million 200 year old people were fraudulently put on social security...it's like Sleepy Joe know more about the fraud...afterall he is Hunter's papa.

Liar from the pits of hell.

ALL LIES AND NOT A SHRED OF EVIDENCE PROVIDED FOR YOUR MUSK DIRTY CLAIMS AND LIES.

NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON PROSECUTED FOR ALL THIS “FRAUD” MYSTERIOUSLY “DISCOVERED”.

Liar!!!!!!

QuinQ:
But these look like gang members na - with all those tattoos.
On another note, proves to you courts don't really have power to do ANYTHING if the executive refuses to obey. A judge ORDERED the plane turned back. Nothing happened. Also, a judge has ORDERED a man brought back and nothing happened!

Because the ‘almighty’ America is now a lawless banana republic.

More lawless than Nigeria where our Presidents do not ignore Supreme Court orders or verdicts, like Trump now does brazenly.

That country is finished.

Nwaikpe:
He is the king of the world

You have to swallow that for 4 more years.

He is a political leader. He is no “king”, much less “king of the world”, with your primitive, bush mentality worshiping a certified racist that can’t stand the sight of you.

Same thing on LinkedIn.

Nothing new.

Govt jobs always attract applicants.

theophorus:
Made in Nigeria?

Well, if any of the 'innovation' is worth it, it would have secure funding from Private.

We don't go Patronizing what we can get cheaper and better deals somewhere else.

YOU ARE WRONG!!

I asked AI (ChatGPT) if NASENI has attracted funding for its innovations and it said:

................

Yes, the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) in Nigeria has successfully attracted private funding and formed partnerships to support its innovations. Notable examples include:​

Delta-2 Programme Collaboration: In December 2023, NASENI signed agreements worth $21.7 million with eleven Nigerian firms as part of the Delta-2 Programme, a bilateral initiative between Nigeria and the Czech Republic. This programme aims to fund research, development, and innovation projects in agriculture, mining, and general manufacturing for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). ​

$30 Billion FDI from China: By October 2024, NASENI had attracted $30 billion in foreign direct investment from China to commercialize 52 of its innovations. These products include electric vehicles, lithium batteries, laptops, solar streetlights, and smart meters. ​

Affordable Housing Partnership: In September 2024, NASENI entered into an offtake agreement with Qietur Limited to develop affordable housing estates for NASENI staff across multiple locations in Nigeria. This initiative aims to address housing deficits and improve living standards for employees. ​

[b]$200 Million Procurement Deal with REA: [/b]In November 2023, NASENI secured a $200 million procurement agreement with the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) for the supply of equipment, highlighting the agency's growing collaborations and stakeholder interest. ​

These instances demonstrate NASENI's effectiveness in engaging private sector partnerships and securing funding to advance its technological innovations and infrastructure projects in Nigeria.

Benin City, 1847 drawing by English visitor Mary Evans, showing large, multi-storey public buildings and monuments, and a high level of Nigerian civilisation long before the colonial invasion.

This drawing was done 50 years before the British invasion of Benin City in 1897.

According to the UK Guardian Newspaper,

''The Guinness Book of Records (1974 edition) described the walls of Benin City and its surrounding kingdom as the world’s largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era. According to estimates by the New Scientist’s Fred Pearce, Benin City’s walls were at one point “four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops”.

Benin City was also one of the first cities to have ....street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace.

At the centre of the city stood the king’s court, from which extended 30 very straight, broad streets, each about 120-ft wide. These main streets, which ran at right angles to each other, had underground drainage made of a sunken impluvium with an outlet to carry away storm water. Many narrower side and intersecting streets extended off them....

When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”.... Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world.

In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”

“Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other,” writes the 17th-century Dutch visitor Olfert Dapper.
“Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.”

Dapper adds that wealthy residents kept these walls “as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water”.

African fractals

Benin City’s planning and design was done according to careful rules of symmetry, proportionality and repetition now known as fractal design. The mathematician Ron Eglash, author of African Fractals – which examines the patterns underpinning architecture, art and design in many parts of Africa – notes that the city and its surrounding villages were purposely laid out to form perfect fractals, with similar shapes repeated in the rooms of each house, and the house itself, and the clusters of houses in the village in mathematically predictable patterns.

As he puts it: “When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganised and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn’t even discovered yet.”
