Very informative article. Values have been eroded by this get rich quick notions. It's why many Nigerians don't want to work hard. Many people are very gullible. Once someone posts pictures with Louis Vuitton bag and wads of dollars in hand, people will start "dreaming and tapping". The next thing is to look for how to "hammer" sharp sharp. Reorientation is needed about the values of hard work,especially for the next generation.
NwekeUG: "We either agree to fight for our country or we remain slaves forever” - Burkina Faso leader, Captain Ibrahim Traoré responds to US threat of arresting and eliminating him with possible invasion of the country.
Another fake news. Must be the same person that spun the "Traore rejects Trump inauguration invite news" Una no dey taya for fake news? It doesn't even make sense. The US is trying to broker peace between Ukraine and Russia. They know Russia has interest in Burkina faso. One of the last things they will do is to make any move that challenges Russia's interest. The person that concocted this should be more "creative". It's funny people are commenting instead of thinking this through...
Racoon: Thomas Sankara, Patrice Lumumba and many promising African patriots eliminated by these imperialists are not enough? What is wrong with Donald Trump sef?
IPIGSRSHALLOW: Ranting about everything else instead of the real criminal in this case. How many people are executed in the US for murder? Most states in the US don't even have death penalty on their constitution anymore. Keep ranting about politicians as if they fell from sky. Are they not from your villages, your town, your cities? Are they not your uncles, brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers, cousins and so on? Nigerian politicians are just a microcosm of the Nigerian society. In fact if they make you a leader tomorrow, you might be worse than some of the current politicians.
"Most states in the US don't even have the death penalty anymore". Not true. Out of the 50 states, 27 still have the death penalty in their constitution and 23 don't. In fact 25 people were executed in the US last year...
Atarakpa: Is simple let them stop dredging for a while and create scarcity the price will jump up to double. But greed and lack of trust will not allow them
A number of oil countries are developing economies. The artificial scarcity will cripple them. The EV proponents will have an upper hand if oil countries make such a move. It won't be wise to allow "adversaries" have strategic control in the energy space. Countries like Nigeria should have envisaged such a situation but we always think oil will always be there.
Topman7: [i]WHO WILL EDUCATE YOU AFRICANS OUT OF THIS COLONIAL-INDUCED BRAINWASHING AND SELF HATRED?
How can the same race of men and women, GOD'S FIRST CREATED PEOPLE, who gave the world the PYRAMIDS OF SUDAN AND EGYPT, THE PHARAOHS, MATHEMATICS, WRITING, ARCHITECTURE, IRON SMELTING, MINING OF MINERALS, LAW, PHILOSOPHY, RELIGION, THE SCIENCES AND THE ARTS THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE WHITE PEOPLE EXISTED ON THIS EARTH, BE SO BRAINWASHED AND CONDITIONED TODAY THAT THEY REJECT THEIR VERY SKIN COLOUR?
THIS IS JUST TRAGIC AND SHAMEFUL.
AND GUESS which country is the WORST in this bleaching madness?
Do you need to guess?
Your useless 'GIANT' nation of white worshiping slaves?
How disgusting.
To the point that even the British who brainwashed you are reporting the news with alarm?
You Africans, especially NIGERIANS, are a total embarrassment.
Sometimes I wish we had a powerful MILITARY DICTATORSHIP that will BAN all these wretched bleaching creams and JAIL anybody caught with such things, after several lashes of koboko.
And also BAN this nasty Brazilian dog hair these women wear.
And BAN THE NASTY ENGLISH WIGS OUR STUPID LAWYERS AND JUDGES WEAR WITH NO SHAME.
Until you Africans cure your colonial inferiority complex and self hatred, you would get NOWHERE in this world. And you will continue to be the objects of ridicule and shame all over the world. Because the world can never EVER value you if you don't value yourselves.
galserv: All these subsidies just have to go for good.
Nigerians are too greedy, selfish and unpatriotic to be given subsidy
Govt that you are asking to take away subsidies is one of the biggest debtors. The Nigerian govt is owing Gencos and DisCos over N4 trillion. So the subsidy givers(govt) are the one causing problems...
MadamExcellency: Old News can't be used to degrade Natasha's shameless behaviour in the Senate Chamber hence we are not interested. AI Green was reprimanded by US Congress last week for similar rude behaviour.
What's the relationship between the behaviour of that shameless blackmailer and the news being reported? None.
Well,the head of the ethics committee (Imasuen) was disbarred for unethical conduct in NY, USA. The question is, if the Senate is so eagle eyed about rude behavior,how come they have such a person heading the Senate ethics committee? Comprende?
God1000: It serves him well, but I have problem with Americans, they could not punish a sexual predator and convicted felon like Donald trump, they still went ahead and put him in the white house, the highest office in the united states
America no longer have the moral compass to do such thing, they have already set a bad example for others to follow, gone are those days
Sexual predator,convicted felon? Lol, Americans voted for Trump because the Democrats twisted and weaponized the justice system to "convict" Trump. Made unprecedented moves of turning misdemeanors into felons all because they wanted to stop Trump. While shielding Biden's son and other politicians in their party. Americans know the truth. That's why they voted for Trump.He won an election and was not "put in the white house"
floss: Ask yourself this, will the USA be pretending to seek for peace if they had succeeded with NATO to annihilate Russia in that bloody war ?
If you wanted peace from the beginning you wouldn’t have gone asking Ukraine that they’ll be granted free passage into NATO and supported in all capacity by America just because you want to control Ukraine and their minerals, spitting Russia in their face but you won’t allow Russia mount their military presence in Canada or Mexico…
I don’t see any thing like peace here, but deceit. America is built in deceit, chaos … that’s why putin doesn’t give a fvck and has the balls to tell every American president “go fvck yourself “ if they don’t accept his terms since they’re asking for peace now..
I only feel pity for Ukraine for having a president that doesn’t see the broader picture to know who the real enemy is
Let's not talk as if any superpower is built on righteousness. They all built their countries on deceit. It's the US proposing the terms and not Putin. It's possible for two govts to have different approaches to an issue and that is what is happening in the US. The Dems foreign policy was to implement NATO policies as we saw with Ukraine and Trump thinks differently. Trump is against globalization and has never supported NATO,even in his first term.
floss: Zelenskyy wanted to play tough but forgot that he’s been sponsored and given feeding money by America… this is why America doesn’t respect him because they’re the ones feeding him. All the resources Ukraine is using to play with Russia comes from America and NATO
This even happens in real life, a man that’s given help all the time doesn’t have a voice, you will be forced to do your sponsor bidding first before you think about your own people.
If Ukraine have the capacity of China, North Korea…America will not treat Zelenskyy like a puppet. If Zelenskyy is wise, he will swallow his pride and see the broader picture that the US and NATO are the enemies here… he should seek to meet Putin and form alliances with Russia instead of trying to join NATO while they treat him and his country like a second class European nation.
Putin understands except if you’ve no honour, there’s no much difference between Ukraine and Russia.
It’s the United States that’s the problem here from the beginning, why will you want a puppet nation just to install your military base closer to Russia, will they allow Russia do the same using Canada or Mexico ?
Giving Zelenskyy fake promises of being part of NATO and that the united states will support him is why the war is going on…
How is the US the enemy when it's the US president who is proposing a peace deal to end the war? Why do you think Zelensky went to the white house? Why was Trump annoyed with him? He wanted to continue fighting and Trump wanted the war to end. Why do you think the US has put military supply to Ukraine on hold?
Meedon: My friend is a drug addict. He takes all kinds of drugs like codeine, totoline, nicotine, emzolyn, Arizona, weed, loud and etc. E remain only colos weh him never take.
He has tried numerous times to quit this dangerous habit, it always ends in futility. He narrated his ordeal to me. He told me that he always thought of commiting suicide but I preached to him that anyone who commit suicide would go to hell.
What can this my friend do to break free from the shackles of this menace called drug addiction? Please I need your candid opinion. My friend's life matter.
He is so emaciated, looking older than his age. Those who are is elder are bowing down to greet him, little did they know that he is just in is mid_20s
Editor: Pics used for illustration
He should go to a rehab centre. There's a rehabilitation and resource centre in Lokoja.
sweetkev: The thing is that Trump never forgets people who stood by him or helped him to win election. Putin interfered in his first election against Hillary Clinton and won the election. So he will stand with Russia no matter what.
Russia never interfered in any US election in 2016. The so called interference was based on a cooked up story by a certain steele. The FBI unfortunately swallowed the fake intelligence report without asking questions. Trump and Putin agree on something and it is that they are both against globalization. Imo...
When Trump increased tariffs against Canada for their porous borders, some Nigerians were almost going naked at dawn to curse Trump. You would think Trudeau was their distance relative. I wonder what they will do now, 😂
wink2015: Is there game for rich people and game for poor people?
Is game not for all?
Why the separation?
Acquiring horses, ensuring that they are in good health is not cheap. Same with golf. The club's like horses are expensive. It's the rich and wealthy that have the money to acquire and maintain such facilities. That's why it's a game for the rich...
What has Ned done in Idumuje Ugboko since he was representing them? He is saying he has no interest in being governor of Delta or the so called Anioma state,is it not power that he is losing that made him to jump ship to another party? Abeg. Ned is part of the problem in Delta state. For Delta state to move forward,old men who have been in power and have not done anything major should be pushed aside. He is talking about Anioma state,is that the reason why Delta North has remained the way it is for 20+ years? Someone that can't do what he is elected to do in his senatorial district is asking for a state. It's not by creating new states up and down. How well has the state been run? Has corruption stopped? Before it was that an Anioma person is not leading. Now Okowa came and nothing changed. This clownery should stop.
Trumps lawyer,Cohen paid Stormy Daniels hush money because she was making noise about having an affair with him at the time and they said he "falsified" business records because he didn't enter it in his account records. They said he took classified docs out of the WH to his home. A former president is allowed under certain conditions as long as he notifies the govt and returns them. Biden had classified docs in his possession,even more than Trump but nothing happened. Trump was discussing calmly with the agency incharge about the docs before the FBI burst into his maralago home to search it. He overestimated the value of his property when he wanted to take a loan. This is something business men do in NY, it's common. The bank even said there was no crime against them because trump paid back the loan he got from them. But because it's trump and he was running against Biden,they became felonies under an unprecedented NY law that has not been used before. It was this arbitrary use of the law that made people vote for trump. They were at best misdemeanors and not felonies. I don't know trump personally but I think it's unconstitutional to bend the law all because you want to derail your political opponent. It's a full 3rd world move. Americans revolted, that's why Harris and the democrats lost the election...
God1000: Good, but that doesn't change the fact that you are bad, there's nothing this man will do that will make me change my vtiew about him, I don't just like him.
I agree all US presidents have one problem or the other, but this guy is the worst ever
I pity Nigerians who are worshipping this convicted felon, you all should be ashamed of yourselves.
