givedemwotowoto:
Oil/Gas Producing States:

“Imagine if states are fully allowed to control their own oil/gas resources and not distributed to other states based on population”.
He is only trying to be clever by half with his dick measurement.
States retaining their VAT fully as proposed by him should extend to states fully controlling their resources.

I still don't understand why some Nigerians take pride in comparing poverty especially on this platform
Foreign Affairs › Re: USS Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier Exits Red Sea After Attacks Off Yemen Coast by ReubenE(m): 1:17pm On Nov 20, 2024
erniok:
What did the Houthi destroy in the news. Or you depend on propaganda to make you comment?
The third paragraph of the report even said the carrier has joined the US 7th fleet
Foreign Affairs › Re: USS Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier Exits Red Sea After Attacks Off Yemen Coast by ReubenE(m):
FreeStuffsNG:
Read the report again wink
You posted the news and the place where Houthis made mention of carrying out two successful attacks (in their own words) was against 2 destroyers. Did you miss that?

Did you miss where your own news said the carrier has joined the US 7th fleet? A different theatre of ops from the one in this news.

How did you now manage to tie to a carrier withdrawing cause of Houthis destruction. The carrier that left last year after 7 seven months in that theatre for this one that's now leaving to come in, was it cause of your manufactured destruction too
Foreign Affairs › Re: USS Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier Exits Red Sea After Attacks Off Yemen Coast by ReubenE(m): 12:59pm On Nov 20, 2024
Funny news and a propaganda one.
The report said the ship has joined the US 7th Fleet, which is a different theatre of ops.

How the poster managed to make this a withdrawal cause of houthis attack is very funny.
The carrier that left last year for this one to come after 7 months, was it for same reason?
The place Houthis mentioned carrying out successful attacks "in their own words" is against two American destroyers but the poster somehow made the carrier moving to another theatre as a result of Houthis destroying it

I think this Houthi online apologists especially here are very delusional. Instead of telling Houthis to feed their hungry and dying population, they encourage them to fire missiles whereby turning Yemen to shit that it is.

That's how low black Africans has descended with low self esteem.

Do anything related to Oshun here, some would even be ready to kill their own people for it while others treat it with disdain

BrainScanner:
So, Trump is no more US, so far Muslims in America voted for him and still hate USA ? I guess this is your story and graduate suppose dey get sense.
In your judgment now you made sense with this your jumbled response, and to imagine you're even disrespectful with it.

Where did you see Trump in my comment or anyone voting for Trump and other disjointed things that you said.
I was referring to the Arab world supporting Russia's war against Ukraine cause of their hatred for the US. Muslims support Russia against Ukraine not because Ukraine is their enemy but cause Ukraine is on the side of US.

Your username is Brainscanner. You should make use of it more before you decide to insult someone in public that did absolutely nothing to you.

CodeTemplarr:
...
Russia that's almost 17 times bigger than Ukraine is still seizing territory of another sovereign country. The funny part is seeing some Muslims rejoicing and supporting the anomaly cause of their hatred for the US.

But whenever they see people suggest Israel should seize the whole of Gaza, you suddenly see Muslims get erection of disgust.

Putin should return the territories and stop bullying smaller countries. You can't be condemning US imperialism while doing same thing.
Georgia, Ukraine etc and almost every other neighbor of Russia except Belarus is scared of Russia and land grabbing behaviour.

May she be healed from whatever health challenge she's going through.

But our bitter South Africans, hope its not whatever y'all are serving that's punishing you people even though karma is not real.

How South Africans (some) descended to the level of feeling disgust and anguish when they see Nigerians succeed is beyond imagining.

Thank you very much. That's the context I was asking.

"Population"

I wanted to be clear if you were referring to surface area or population

Your calculation is wrong. 5.1m + 1.2m + 4.5m is already more than 10 million
I don't even understand the man.

Costa Rica and Panama is already almost 10 million.
How he managed to get 6 million after adding every other country on the list on a data he provided himself is funny

What are you saying?

My response is just sorting for context.

What do you mean by wanking on his analogy

No, they didn't choose to. They can't afford to. They shouldn't be countries. Some of them are half of Bayelsa.
Nlfpmod
You used half of Bayelsa in your analogy cause Bayelsa is too small or too big?

If the HALF in your analogy is cause Bayelsa is small, then there are more than 10 states other than Bayelsa that is more fitting for that purpose.
Conversely, if the HALF is because Bayelsa is too big, there are more than 15 states more suited for your demonstration
Politics › Re: ₦‎17 Trillion Abandoned Projects Debacle - Punch Editorial by ReubenE(m): 8:22am On Nov 12, 2024
Then they are starting another white elephant project coastal road.

For more reasons than one, most of the initiators were never genuinely ready to do those projects. They only started them to collect money.

If they want to divert money without much questions asked. They look for somewhere to start one project, appropriate enough of the money to themselves then leave it abandoned

Forget story, you can't enter US with a virgin passport.🙄🙄

Try going to other countries and returning within 3 weeks, if you try US first, there's zero chance they will allow you except he is your spouse or family relation, talking from experience.
Your experience is valid I guess but my cousin traveled to the US in 2013 with a virgin passport.

That was the first time he boarded a plane to travel outside the boundaries of Nigeria.
They are two actually. One was denied and the other approved. They got study scholarship.

Don't know maybe it is cause of the scholarship but even at that, one was denied and they both had virgin passport.
I don't want to believe virgin passport plays a role or at least not a foundation principle for first time travellers visa denial

Nah Nairalanda1 go answer that one. He works with one of the disco cheating Nigerians.
Let me help him answer.

It is because power is not cheap. Nigerians love free things and don't like paying.

Thunderfayamods:
You don't even know the meaning of immigrant, you are the real ignoramus.
You're wasting your time. You notice I did not respond to him.
It is sad that most Nigerians can't have a civil conversation online and behave like properly functioning human beings.

They curse, insult and say all sorts of nonsense as evidence of wit.

He said Musk's forefathers are not from South Africa but are they from the US?
Glad you reminded him he does not even know the meaning of immigrant.

Modified:

I just looked up his profile information. That poster does not worth any proper human being's attention

maasoap:
For supporting Trump the racist, I guess
You gave the only civil and properly functioning human feedback, I will respond to you.

It is not just about supporting Trump or whether Trump is a racist.
Musk is against immigrants as well and say all sorts of dehumanising things about them.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Trump Put Musk On Phone With Zelensky During Call by ReubenE(m): 9:34am On Nov 09, 2024
Musk the immigrant that has forgotten where he is from. Willing to burn same bridge that gave him the opportunity of elevation

Richtaiwo:
Shinedu, read the caption of the report again, that is the least you can do to yourself. Or, get anyone around you who can at least read and understand to help you out.
FAAC allocation to states is not contribution to national purse.

There is no background to add FAAC and IGR together as revenue generated.
You really should not be debating it because it is absolutely wrong and easy to know.

Lagos for instance generates more VAT compared to every other state but the VAT money combined is shared by all the states of the federation as FAAC. Some states especially in the North generate for instance N2 billion VAT but get N5 billion from the total VAT money as part of FAAC.
If you add FAAC and IGR as revenue generated by states, then you are insulting the state where the extra N3 billion was gotten and given to the state that generated N2 billion VAT but got N5 billion from FAAC

highchief1:
it’s the true nature of ijaw men.once them see Dry fish,ogogoro and Toto they are fine.very unambitous people.
I am very sorry to say. This is a very foolish thing for anybody to say in public.
You are insulting a whole ethnic group based on your own understanding of who they are?

So there's no Ijaw that has excelled in anything, contributed to development in Nigeria and elsewhere cause according to you, they are unambitous people?

They all just see dry fish, ogogoro and toto then relax?
So we can describe all hausa/fulani as unambitous people that are only good for terrorism. We can describe all igbos as people only good for fraud, cannibalism and baby factory. We can describe all Yorubas as unambitous people only good for rituals and trading human parts. We can describe all Edo people as only good for cultism?

That's exactly how ridiculous and unfortunate your comment is.

I just read "Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine" does that mean to say that there's also a legal invasion?🙄🤔🤔🤔🤔
Yes, invasion is backed by international conventional statutes if it is done in self defense.

If a country is attacked, it has a legal right to respond to the attack.

Well, if that's what you think.

If this crisis linger till election, you think Wike would still be able to give him 25%

who will grant him stay of execution especially when he has been abusing the judiciary?

What was the so called Niger Delta people contribution to sims emergence? What has sim done for Rivers people talk more of Niger Delta people? I'm from the Niger Delta, wike who you all hate for no reason is from the Niger Delta, don't come here to gaslight people with your kindergarten political analysis, I'm not sure you campaigned or voted for sim, I'm also not sure you called sim out when he withheld allocation of council chairmen for 4 months, you better mind your business and focus on your life's problems. Nonsense!
Let me ignore the parts where you're literally talking like a child. It is little children that lack the ability to control their emotions when communicating in public.

You introduce yourself as a Niger Delta person to reinforce your tantrum like I am not a Niger Delta person speaking.

Stop clowning. No one is saying you shouldn't pay them. However, shishi you're not getting from the FAAC until the right thing is done.
It would be appealed with stay of execution. There is a supreme court precedent so the appeal may go all the way to the supreme court.

Fubara is really not disturbed.

Tinubu is making the same mistake Atiku made in protecting Ayu against popular advise.
He is making Niger Delta people his enemy cause of one man by not calling his dog to order, the consequence in the long run he may find undesirable for his government

White people and games.
Black people always fighting to assume the position of victimhood.

Eusebio, Weah, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Ronaldo de Lima etc are black people.

Apt.

It's a show of shame.

The Governor, Ododo does not have power to delegate or confer the immunity he is enjoying. The immunity only applies to him. It does not even apply to his residence. The comparison to the Consulates was highly flawed.
Like I am shocked

They are only playing the time game. Leave it long so with time, the matter would be overtaken by other events, then Bello can go dust himself and come back to living regular life
