⚡️A large number of Iranian drones are heading towards Israel, currently in Iraqi airspace.

Music to my ears. Somebody please check up on Gbadebo. His body should be doing 115°c by now

Vl3ly:
Zelensky said he hopes the conflict between Iran and Israel will not lead to a reduction in aid to Ukraine...

🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Almajiri of Europe has spoken. Any escalation in ME that goes beyond this and Donald Dumb will dump his ass for worse.

⚡️A Jordanian helicopter chases a drone in Jordanian skies, aiming to shoot it down before it reaches an Israeli target.

another IDF helping hand

That "King" is worse than a bitch. An hypocrite who's more useless than filth. I won't be surprised if the good people of Jordan raid his Godforsaken palace and chase him out like the dog he is.

Alamkiir:
BREAKING: Several blasts heard over Jerusalem.


Where are the multi leyered isreali defense now

Gbadebo and Co will not sleep peacefully tonight. The Israeli propaganda machines are already at work dismissing the impacts as AD interceptions.

Tomorrow now, they'll refuse to show us the images claiming that only minimal damage occured

Rilwayne001:
It’s a Shia vs Sunni thing.

Sunni hates Shia more than they hate the Jews.

Rephrase the sentence clearly, SOME Sunnis hate the Shias more than the Jews. Separate it clearly and not tie everyone together with that disgraceful assertion.

Its only an ignorant and foolish person that'll dismiss their brothers due to some sectarian differences and go all the way to support their collective enemy.

And you wonder Israel keeps dominating and humiliating the Arab world? It'll keep doing so until the saboteurs and ass-lickers rulling the Arab world get their acts together and face their enemies together REGARDLESS of their differences.

⚡Israel's doomsday plane "Wing of Zion" just took off.

It serves to transport the President and Prime Minister on international trips, functioning as Israel’s version of the U.S. Air Force One.

The useless oloriburukus running the apartheid country have ran away as usual. Satanyahu don flee. It's the useless house-stealing Israelis that will bear the burnt.

Nearly everyone across the world, save the Zionist wannabes in Nigeria knows that Israel is a big coward and the aggressor.

Let me see Jordan intercept anything this time around, e go collect too.

RealityKings1:
the most unreliable source for statistics

Exactly, very inaccurate statistics. No valid metrics to demonstrate what informed the above figures. The day Femi Bejide go overdo and would get multiple lawsuits, that'll be the day he'll calm down with his oluwole statistics.

Wise baba. He really understood the futility and senselessness in plunging his family into debt in order to feed a whole community who do not care two kobo about the welfare of his family.

Unnecessarily keeping a corpse uninterred is an abhorrent behavior. It does nothing than to indignify the dead, prolong the grief of the living and also accrue unnecessary expenses.

If you have too much money to splurge, why not build a borehole(s), a clinic, school, vocational center or anything that would be of communal benefit as a memorial for the dead.
Once confirmed dead, bury ASAP!

Are you aware that at the start of the unprepared invasion, Ukraine didn't have up to 20 fighter jets and no missile or air defense system at all because they were busy honoring the agreement they signed with Russia during the disintegration of USSR?

Are you also aware that Ukraine use to own nuclear weapon but it was decommissioned and handed to Russia as part of a peace deal supervised by the US after USSR disintegration?

Russia is a weak nation when you compare how many years of military experience and weapon gathering they have compared to Ukraine.


Most of the USSR military weapons were inherited by Russia.


With Russia's abysmal performance in the war with Ukraine, if Russia face Israel, it will be a tough war and if Russia face Germany, the war will most likely end in draw, and if Russia face USA, Russia will be leveled in less than 6 months if both countries are prevented from using nuclear weapon.


Russia is not as powerful as the whole world use to believe in the past before the invasion of Ukraine.


China will defeat Russia before December if they face it off.


Russia cannot have a field day with any other major European country the way it had with Ukraine if nuclear weapon is prohibited

Useless Toilet Analysis coming from a bigot and Zionist wannabe, I'm not surprised.

First off, it's is a blatant lie to say that Ukraine had less 20 fighter jets and no air defense at invasion onset. Same Ukraine that
inherited substantial Soviet air assets, (it had over 50 combat aircraft and pockets of S-300V air defense systems) when it got independence? Stop lying sir!!!

Russia, weak? Have you ever heard of asymmetry warfare, or because Russia does not engage in genocide like the barbarians you support, then you term Russia weak. If you want tales about Russia's brutality, ask the Georgians.

Calling Russia's performance abysmal shows how skewed your perspective is. Everyone knows Russia is unofficially fighting the entire West yet it has achieved most of its objectives. It's not until it carpet bombs and destroys like the evil barbarians you love before it achieves its aims.

China, yes, but Germany will never dream of squaring off with Russia not to talk of Israel. Israel? Had it not been the combined air forces of the US, UK and France, plus the air defence of Jordan, they would have faced the full wrath of the Iranians. Were you drunk texting when you concocted all these rubbish?

Nigerians can be dangerously cruel to each other. The filling station rakes in humongous sums of money but pays pittance to their staff.
I mean it amazes me how some of these employers sleep properly at night.

This same thing is obtained in private schools and some manufacturing companies scattered around the country.

It is part of this reason that these girls resort to other "ways" to survive.

Be strict, yes, but ensure your workforce earn a liveable income and work in decent condition.

Fiscus105:
1. Gambling.
2. Smoking cigarettes.
3.Porn watching.
4.Masturbation.
5.Drugs.
6. Phone/internet.

To me it's phone addiction is most difficult to quit.

All those addiction are extremely difficult and dangerous to quit. Addiction Nos: 3, 4 & 6 are mostly linked together and studies have showed that they have similar effects on a human's brain like drug abuse. These days nearly everyone of both is exposed to No 3 (in various forms) either willingly or unwillingly courtesy of very stupid and useless "content creators" who know nothing than to commodity sex. To enjoy popular apps today, you'd have to go into a reporting/blocking spree (of those nonsensical "contents" ) for the first 5-10 minutes of opening an app to enjoy sanity.

Each and everyone of those addictions especially 1 to 5 is capable of ruining a person's life, and sadly it takes extraordinary strength for those addicted to any to quit it. Only God can save those who suffer from 3 or more of those addictions at the same time.

The Federal Government ought to have continued Obasanjo's policy of using Cassava to make bread. Those of us who attended unity school were fed with cassava bread. Too bad it was abandoned, at least it'll have absorbed excess production.

In as much as Nigerian farmers can be really greedy, we also have to consider the high cost at which they procure the agro-inputs and machineries used plus the insecurity menace.

Also Nigerian processors are part of the problem. Always moving with the crowd, no original idea. Everybody established food-grade starch factories.

Now there's hardly anyone who makes industrial-grade starch and modified starch for pharmaceuticals. Yet these companies spend billions upon billions to import them.

Everybody just dey collect...

Remove ur eyes from generator every evening...

Buy only bags of rice or half bags ( join Watsap group that buy directly from cheap places)

If ur wife is not working, go to the market urself to buy bulky essentials...most house wives inflat prices to get pocket money

Lower your love for top brands...

Adopt the use of electric cooker also with gas..but like 80% gas..

Tell ur wife to avoid over cook ND over feeding where children run to toilet immidiately after eating...

I dnt see why 150k won't last one month... except u want to live in a very high lifestyle...like buying fastfood breads for the family instead of equally good open market displayed bread ..etc

Your advice is mostly sound. However if one has a housewife, wouldn't it be nicer to give her an allowance regularly if he has the capacity. At least it'll help her solve some personal stuffs without needing to ask him every single time.

iamoyindamola:
Does asata have any close relationship with Tupac like memorable past?

Yeah, in a way because she's was his godmother. Mama Assata was close to Afeni and they were both connected to the Black Panther movement. Even deeper, they both adopted the name "Shakur", and the later also took a Yoruba name "Olugbala" which means the savior.

The activists of those days were quite fierce ooo But she's in Cuba now, enjoying her asylum and the protection of the Cuban government.

DissTroy:
Even the guy who quoted this post before me cannot cough up #15 million for a car today. He knows it. His many posts hint at it.

I can hide under the guise of tech and startups buoyed by pictures and anecdotes over the years to posture like #15 million wouldn't put a dent in my purse. It's Nairaland so I can pretend, but I won't.

I don't do the regular 9 - 5. A full digital brand creation package of web app dev, SEO and SMO would earn you no less than $1,500. That's over #2 million and in less than a month. And this is on the very low side where you are underpaid. You'd earn more as you bargain.

Still, considering expenses and obligations, #15 million would make me pause and a second pause. My whole persona is about being honest and open.

Yet we have NYSC members and 9 - 5 guys on this thread say #15 million for a car is not a luxury. They can afford it. One what salary/income?

To do what? To impress others? I'd understand if they are influencers who make money seem so easy for the gram.

The good thing is, knowing how this thread works, one slip hinting at their salaries in the future would set the thread on them.

Like they did to Lar-ride after bragging he'd wager a #500,000 b£t the year prior about who'd win the 2023 election.

Exactly, you've brilliantly summed it up. The whole premise of the argument is simple.

—There are items are considered as true luxury by EVERYONE, rich or non-rich.

—However, luxury is very relative and depends on context. What is luxury to one is basic to another.

—Taking Nigeria into context, a "15M Car" is definitely a luxury for most of the population since the citizens can't readily afford it given the poor economic situation.

—A simple search on Jiji shows a 2015 Toyota Corolla to be 14-15M plus. This is a basic car for some, but for the majority of the Nigerian population, it'll be considered a luxury.

Now worldwide, would this particular car be considered a true luxury, the answer is no, but would it be considered a luxury in Nigeria? The answer is a resounding yes.

When something stretches beyond your current financial means or feels like a non-essential indulgence, it becomes a luxury, not necessarily because of the item’s price tag, but because of your economic position at that moment. So I don't get the bragging and pigheadedness. Sheesh!

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Do you know any luxury car that is 15 million naira?

I just need a Yes or No.[/color]

I can't give you a yes or no answer because the question cannot be fully answered in a binary way, so don't try to box me into a corner here.

My point is luxury is contextual, and ANYTHING you cannot easily afford at any point in time is a luxury to you regardless of it's worth be it 1k or 1bn.

Yes there are certain items which everyone considers true luxury, but the term itself is very subjective and determined by so many things like: education, income status, social/peer group etc.

For instance, you earn 5M monthly, a 2010 Toyota Camry would feel like a basic car to you because you can easily afford it. While a 2017 Mercedes will feel like a luxury to you.

For someone earning 150k that same 2010 Camry would definitely feel like a luxury to them because they can't easily afford it with their income.

In another instance, someone earning north of 70M monthly, a 2017 Mercedes would look like a regular car to them, but a 2025 Range Rover would be a luxury to them.

Hope you get the context? What is basic to you is luxury to another and vice versa.

So it is well within point, given Nigeria's terrible economic condition to say that a 15M car is a "luxury" to most of the population, and aside a top-tiered career, sought-after freelancer earning in hard currency, a thriving businessperson (all of which represent a tiny % of the population) most cannot afford it without engaging in unsavoury things (e.g stealing public funds, wire fraud, high-class escort etc) to buy it.

I hope your question is answered.

AbokiWam:
Carry your 15m go proper car stand for Gwarinpa.
No only that hatchback toyota Yaris you go carry go house.

ML 350 of 2019 is going for #50 million and above
You sure this bradaa is in touch with reality?

My Oga, while you're right that things are now very costly, DissTroy is also right that most Nigerians do not earn up to 2M monthly. And I agree with him that luxury is contextual. Anything your income cannot afford is a luxury.

Also, Abuja should never be compared to other parts of Nigeria. Prices of cars there are overinflated. Besides do you know how many years some cars spend on the stand before sales?

I was surprised to see godfather of harlem have s4

I believe it was necessary for it to have a Season 4 due to the storyline essentially revolving around Bumpy Johnson.

The series is a quasihistorical one and with the introduction of the Frank Lucas character and Afeni Shakur (Tupac's mother), don't be surprised that it'll renew for season 5. It has been enjoyable so far.

Can you recommend any series that's quite similar to it and enjoyable to watch?

This is all a lie. They are work together cos they have the same satanic ideology. The sultan is behind terrorism

Hogwash! Can you bring evidence and proof of this nonsense you just spilled? Nobody is truly anonymous online and you can be ARRESTED for this rubbish.

You can be fully prosecuted and charged for: Defamation of character, Inciting public unrest, False publication, Sedition, False accusation of terrorism among many others.

If you're not careful, your sorry ass would be spending a long time in jail. Also, if shit hits the fan, none of those you are trying to impress here will show up on your behalf.

It's a Political Move. That Name states Fully that Benue identifies as a Christian State. All this subtle things are big things in political decision making. Nassarawa named their airport Usman Danfodio Airport showing submissiveness to the caliphate. Alot of people have their minds shut but their eyes open. The Game is big.

Of all the tragedies going on in the state, should this the priority of that failing governor?

Hard working farmers and citizens are being murdered regularly, the whole infrastructure is in a state of disrepair, insecurity is at all-time high and the state can hardly boast of any reasonable industry.

Can you really fathom the systemic consequences of those killing to Nigeria's food security? Father Alia is turning out worse than we all thought.

dominique:
How is the abbreviation going to look like? RFMOAU? The students would rather stick to BSU

Exactly. Kwara State University had been renamed Olusola Saraki University for about a decade now. But the students and institution still actively use KWARA STATE UNIVERSITY.

The cost and labour that goes into rebranding is humongous. Plus not everyone would be comfortable with such move.

This guy lie is too much, he is tired of Houthis

The Houthis are just like the Afghanis. The last thing the US will do is put any boot on ground on behalf of Israel. Those guys are battle-hardened and can go days with little supplies, coupled with the harsh weather conditions. Compare that to the Kool-Aid slurping overfed US army.

For those of us that regularly watch NatGeoWild, we know that a lion is more than equipped to kill a Honey Badger, but they'll rather steer clear of the latter's path because the damage would not worth the prize. The Houthis are just like that. They aren’t the most organized army, but they can be as savage as the honey badger, and the scary part is that this conflict is very personal to them.

Unlike American soldiers that rely on satellite feeds, night-vision goggles, and air support, the Houthis rely on instincts, dirt roads and goat paths the satellites can’t see. They'll make sure they break that American arrogance. They have demonstrated this by building missiles from scraps and targeting billion-dollar ships with homemade drones.

They just don't care how powerful you are or how powerful your military looks on paper. They will make sure they break that illusion. Even Netanyahu knows and he'll rather keep murdering innocent people in Gaza than face the Yemenis head-on.
