I suspect she was duped by a Nigerian or maybe one Naija boy don Nyash am run leave am with pikin.
I suspect she suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Narcissists rely on control and attention to feel a sense of fulfilment and worth.

She may have had an experience with a Nigerian that caused her to lose both control and attention.

So to reclaim her self-worth, she targets a Nigerian forum to spew hateful bile, regain ‘control’ by furiously posting anti-Nigerian comments, imagery, news, etc, while simultaneously gaining attention for her toxicity.

It’s classic Narcissism.

You reason like a he-goat.

America has invaded or sponsored the invasion or destabilisation of 97% of countries on Earth, according to scholars.

Their economy was built on the ruthless trampling on, and exploitation of other nations.

Those countries you listed are at the forefront of resistance to their greed and imperialism.

That is why they are demonised by the US-controlled western media.

That America has become fat and rich off the blood and wealth of other countries makes them a LEGITIMATE target of criticism and resistance EVEN as their rich economy attracts poorer people from across the world.

Allow me also school you since you still need some mentoring. The distance between Iran and Persian Gulf supplies and Nigeria is twice the distance, meaning that it costs 50% lesser, 50% faster to ship crude from the Persian Gulf than Nigeria. I know you Nigerians love wishful thinking alot, but do your research. In the international market space, Nigeria crude doesn't really attract buyers as it hasn't broken the ceiling quite right. If you however talk about rivalling Russia to sell refined Crude products, unlike Nigeria that accepts anything, has Dangote or any refinery been able to produce refined products that meets the standard of the European market on a steady basis ?
This man is confused.

I thought we were talking about the Nigerian gas pipeline supply to Europe and your saying it was no threat to Russia, following which I whupped your behind with the BBC article, and now you're talking about crude oil and Persian gulf.

What? Your white superhuman god Putin is untroubled by this possibility because he has ''fertiliser factories, crude reserves''' or whatever nonsense you typed?


Ukraine crisis: Can Africa replace Russian gas supplies to Europe?

African countries are among those hoping to increase their exports of gas to the European Union, after the EU committed to reduce its reliance on Russian supplies following the invasion of Ukraine.

Russia's suspension of deliveries to Poland and Bulgaria over their refusal to pay in roubles, the Russian currency, was a stark reminder of the threat facing the Eurozone. Russia has the largest natural gas reserves in the world and is the largest exporter, accounting for around 40% of Europe's imports.

The EU wants to cut supplies by two-thirds by the end of the year and become independent of all its fossil fuels by 2030.

However, energy economist Carole Nakhle says that with the combined exports of Africa's big players in the industry - Algeria, Egypt and Nigeria - amounting to less than half of what Russia supplies to Europe, they are "unlikely at the moment to compensate for any losses in Russian supplies".

"The good news is there will be greater interest in countries that already have the resources to replace Russian gas and Africa is in a very good position. We're going to see more investment," she says.

Nigeria Is Turning Into an Oil Market Juggernaut

The massive Dangote refinery establishes the African nation as a major influencer — and a potential disruptor for Europe.

Bloomberg News

In a finely balanced oil market, Nigeria has suddenly reemerged as a key player.

During the past few weeks, actions by the country’s massive Dangote refinery have moved prices, with purchases of US barrels initially boosting the crude futures curve before a decision to sell them sent oil tumbling.

Once fully operational, the plant outside Lagos will be able to process 650,000 barrels a day, rivaling the largest sites in the US and more than 50% larger than Europe’s biggest refinery.


A look at International Energy Agency data this week shows why that’s so important.

Even if OPEC+ cancels planned supply hikes, there will be a surplus of about 860,000 barrels a day next year. The group currently plans to add 540,000 barrels a day next quarter.

Both figures are close to Dangote-sized swings.

Refinery ramp-ups are complicated, and there’s already been at least one delay. But once the site starts churning out gasoline, it will transform fuel markets in the region and upend long-established trade flows, particularly in Europe, where Nigeria currently purchases much of its supplies.

Aliko Dangote, the billionaire behind the plant, said last month the plan is for it to start producing the fuel in August, though others are doubtful.

“The refinery’s gasoline is unlikely to hit the market until at least September,” consultant FGE wrote this month, citing issues with some of the plant’s units.

Then there’s the question of feedstock.

The facility was built on a dream of Nigeria consuming its own crude. That’s why there was an uproar when Dangote started buying US supplies.

Recently, the country announced plans for its refiners to pay for oil in local currency and to consume as many as 445,000 barrels a day of domestic product. Still, it’s unclear how the latter will happen.

But if it does, that will mean less crude for current buyers, notably in Europe.

It also means that in an oil market focused on war, economic slowdowns and output curbs, Nigeria will be a surprisingly hot topic among traders in coming months.

Ancient Paint Factory Unearthed In South Africa, Carbon-Dated to 100,000 Old!!!

But according to the imported religion called christianity, the first humans were two white people named 'Adam and Eve', created 6,000 years ago in the middle east.

When will you people stop swallowing Roman lies?

Maybe 'Adam and Eve' were the first white people or albinos that emerged.

But no way were they the first HUMAN BEINGS on Earth, assuming they actually existed.

The first MODERN HUMANS emerged in SOUTHERN AFRICA OVER 200,000 YEARS AGO.

NOT in the Middle East 6,000 years ago.

READ ON.....



Ancient Paint Factory Unearthed In South Africa, Dated to 100,000 old!!!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15257259

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cc/37/03/cc37032bc8151fc7688393f8a16871d7.png

The kits used by humans 100,000 years ago to make paint have been found at the famous archaeological site of Blombos Cave in South Africa.

The hoard includes red and yellow pigments, shell containers, and the grinding cobbles and bone spatulas to work up a paste - everything an ancient artist might need in their workshop.

This extraordinary discovery is reported in the journal Science.

It is proof, say researchers, of our early ancestors' complexity of thought.

"This is significant because it is pushing back the boundaries of our understanding of when Homo sapiens - people like us - first became modern," said Prof Christopher Henshilwood from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.

"These finds indicate that humans were certainly thinking in a modern way, in a way that is cognitively advanced, at least 100,000 years ago," he told BBC News.

Blombos Cave on the southern Cape Coast, 300km east of Cape Town, has been giving up remarkable archaeological treasures for more than 20 years.

Scientists have been scraping down through its sandy sediments to find all manner of artefacts left by the Middle Stone Age people who occupied the limestone cavity.

In 2002, researchers described 70,000-year-old blocks of ochre. This soft stone contains iron oxides that can be used as a pigment, or colouring agent.

But apart from some engravings on the blocks, there was little hard evidence to determine the precise purpose of the Blombos ochre. The new items seem to have had a much more obvious use - as the equipment to process paints.

The finds include abalone shells with ochre residues inside. There are tools made of quartzite that were presumably employed to hammer and grind ochre into a powder in the shells. And there is evidence that charcoal and oil from seal bones were being added to the mix. It seems bone implements were also being used to turn and lift the paint pastes.

All these artefacts were found together, almost as if someone had put them down intending to retrieve them at a later time, but then never coming back. Sands blown in through the cave entrance subsequently buried the kits and locked them away until they were excavated in 2008.

In the intervening three years, the finds have been subjected to a series of tests and assessments.

Ochre can have non-artistic applications such as an additive in glues, but co-researcher Francesco d'Errico from the University of Bordeaux says the analysis of the residues in the shells points strongly to the production of paints.

"The absence of a resin or a wax suggests the ochre was not used to make a glue or a mastic. We think it may have been used to make a paint or a design," he explained.

Prof Henshilwood added: "It's possible the paint was used to paint bodies, human skin. It could have been used to paint designs on leather or other objects. It could have been used for paintings on walls, although the surfaces of southern African caves are not ideal for the long-term preservation of rock art."

The mere fact though that paints are being manufactured in a systematic way is indicative of a level of advanced thinking.

It would have required a high degree of planning to bring together all of the elements of the kits; and if art really was the purpose, it suggests the cave dwellers of Blombos were capable of symbolic thought - the ability to let one thing represent another in the mind.

This ability has been posited as the giant leap in human evolution that set our species apart from the rest of the animal world.

Understanding when and where this behaviour first emerged is a key quest for scientists studying human origins.

...Prof Chris Stringer from London's Natural History Museum commented: "Twenty or 30 years ago, there was a view that Europe was really the place where all the big action was taking place - wonderful painted caves 30,000-35,000 years ago, and people decorating their bodies.

"We now know that this behaviour goes back far further in Africa; it goes back to 100,000 years, perhaps even more than 100,000 years.

"People were starting to express social identity in completely new ways. And there is a view that this behaviour is linked with complex language. So, it may indicate these people were communicating in a fully modern way,"
he told BBC News.
