We have not forgotten about Paul Whelan. This was not a choice about which American to release.

Russia is treating Paul’s case differently … we are not giving up.”
I had to go and verify. Biden is right. Whelan is being treated as a spy by the Russian Authorities.

I'm waiting to see how the Right spins this. Paul Wheelan who was sentenced earlier was not included in the deal. Waiting to see if Republicans cast this as a Black vs. White thing.

I’ve said it times without number that Peter Obi of structureless Labour Party will lose woefully beyond redemption in the February 25th, 2023 presidential election. This is the results of last July 16th governorship election this year. Lasun Yusuff is very wise in his decisions.
Peter Obi will run back to PDP or APGA.

He has finally realized that Peter Obi is a scam grin

Well PDP and Labour party are one and the same. Atiku and Obi will be wasting time dragging and sharing votes between the both of them while Jagaban Tinubu sprints to victory.
Labour is just an offshoot of PDP.

Russia as well would be cutting production as of Monday, prices definitely would spike up, I have been saying it all weekend and it’s more revenue for them, Europe and Africa would suffer, especially Africa, since we import energy and other commodities from China and Europe
Europe has safety net. Africa will suffer so much from the fall out, and we have the corrupt leaders to thank for that.

@ bolded - Nope .

Funny enough south Korea use to be a very poor country in the 50s until Miracle happened on the Han River and every friggin time I remember this I feel very sad.

If things were great with Nigeria honestly it should be trailing China in economic might say 7t USD economy (approx. 35K USD GDP per Capita) black race might earn the respect of the world.
We will wake up from the deep sleep at some point in the future.

Nicely put @Saxywale2, your line of thought strongly resonates with mine!

Back in the early 2000s, I grabbed and read a copy of the classic book,
"From Third World to First" by the father of modern-day Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew. The massive book of over 700 pages literally made me realize how to build a country if you have a visionary leader, and highly motivated citizens. Slightly over 80% of Singaporeans are of Chinese descent with the rest being
ethnic Malays and Indians.

This ethnic configuration made it a bit easy for them to navigate. There were ethnic riots too in Singapore and Malaysia back in the 1960s. But then Lee Kuan Yew set up industrial estates, boosted education, upgraded military service for Singapore citizens, and made his city-state into a major financial hub.

I noticed that these were some of the things that Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, did as the Prime Minister of the Old Western Region in the 1950s, setting up many investment vehicles, industrial estates in what is now Lagos State, Ibadan, etc, and at independence, the Western Region was rich
enough to even donate the first building used by Nigeria as a high commission in London.


A decentralized Nigeria would make it easier to reach the goal of rubbing shoulders economically and militarily with the Asian Tiger nations, and much more.

Then the world would respect a decentralised Nigeria (and the rest of the people of African descent worldwide) that can independently send her own space satellites and astronauts into outer space, and more!

Ray Dalio also talks about the "changing world order" with a strong warning for the U.S., and any country that wants to succeed today had better follow his warnings.

Unfortunately, the centralized Nigeria as of today exhibits all the negative indices the American billionaire Ray Dalio talked about in his book that have led to the fall of empires... and the U.S. manifests some of these negative indices, and we have to act fast to save the 2 countries that mean a lot to us all OR... Boom! Economic downturns, social unrests, then Civil War.
"The changing world order."


All the best.
Nigeria as a country has huge potential, but I think we went on a wrong path when the country changed from the Parliamentary to the Presidential System. I heard of how good they had it back then. Up till now, alot of sub-Saharan African countries and the black race in general all over the are still looking up to Nigeria to wake up from it's deep sleep.

Lol, is Malaysia developed??

SK is a high income and highly developed economy but not Malaysia.
My post wasn't to compare Malaysia with South Korea or any other Asian Tigers. Lol.
South Korea is acrually an overkill. I should have left it out. Even though Malaysia may not be as developed, but Nigeria is not even at the level of the respect Malaysia commands in the world let alone South Korea. Lol.

A Malaysian passport can get you to the UK, Japan, EU e.t.c visa free. Life expectancy in Malaysia is 76. I don't even think any African country has a GDP per capita that higher than that of Malaysia. We have some ways to go in Africa.

He's just one of those depressed and drug-fueled white kids. NO apologies for being who we are in this incarnation as folks of African descent. Period.
That will be the excuse.

Life of a black man. I believe that if Nigeria (the most populous black country in the world) rises up to the level of maybe South Korea or Malaysia, black people all over the world would atleast earn some respect in this world that we have found ourselves in.

But Federal agents and the state of Delaware have been investigating Hunter since 2018. If hunter is found guilty (and by association with the Senior Biden), Hunter would be charged accordingly and the senior after he leaves office. I am all for law and order.

Drumph isa biz man. JB is not. You compare mangoes to oranges. If Trump took a loan,on his business whats the problem.
Joe was getting money to sell influence See the difference. JB was getting $ to line his pockets
But an election-year investigation by Senate Republicans into corruption allegations against Joe Biden involving Ukraine found no evidence of improper influence or wrongdoing by the former vice president.
Anyway, the GOP in the congress are on it again. I also wish them good luck.

Drone work for Warnock in Atlanta last night. Also Warnock is projected to win the worst candidate in republiqans history by 2 to 4 points.

I knew criminal trump will destroy walkers campaign and now with his traitorous call to suspend the Constitution, many republiqans are silent and scared and shaky. Even Georgia Lt. Gov, a republican, is outright telling republicans not to even vote this douchebag. Just walk off the line and go home.
It's tough when you even realise that a senator has a 6 years term. He might have been a good athlete but being in the Senate is way above his head.

Some good news here. Isn't it?
QT appears to be working, and interest rate is a lagging indicator - meaning the last couple of months hikes has not even filtered through the economy.
Powell's tone was also not hawkish last week. I only hope that the FEDs haven't overtighted. Well if they have, then a severe recession might be unavoidable.

Media covered up the fact Hilary used a private server? Lol Holy Revisionist History.

In fact after the elections, Media figures discussed it. And it was a general consensus that they went WAY overboard on it in comparison to Trump scandals.
Studies agree: Media gorged on Hillary Clinton email coverage

You dey mind that guy.

More shocking is that the same FBI Director that threw Clinton under the bus failed to inform the congress that Trump's campaign was also under investigation.

1. Because Breitbart posted the source video. 2. Other outlets corroborated the report.
3. Google released statement admitting the video was from them but disrupting the conclusions drawn in the article.

I think it's fair to say the article was well-sourced.
I wasn't talking about the article you posted. Since you called national examiner a rag right wing website because they got caught pants down, it's safe to also call Breitbart rag because they are have been caught too many times for posting misinformation.

That's completely messed up but a false equivalence nonetheless.

I've already addressed this previously, the National Enquirer and similar publications have always been known as a right wing rag that people don't really take seriously, similar to Salon magazine on the left. You can simply move to another outlet. You cannot do that with Twitter and Meta because of the control they have over the social media market
You were quoting Breitbart a few page ago. You think people take Breitbart seriously.

No American conservative can agree with Donald Trump's call to suspend the Constitution because of the results of the 2020 election. And all real conservatives must oppose his 2024 campaign for president.
