Saudi Arabia became a Nation in 1937. Oil was discovered in Arabia in the 50s, I think are you now saying that were no Muslims or Islam amongst other people of the world prior to 1937 and 1950s?

Make una dey ease up on this exaggerations sometimes. For your information, there have been Muslims in most part of the world for at least 1,000 years! So, what is that talk about Saudi oil being the instrument of Islam spread?

Oil was actually discovered in 1930s but what I am saying is this - the greenback gotten from the sale of oil made Saudi export and propagate Islam (wahabism) across the globe and that a fact - it called petro-islam (find out).

Yes kindof. But he is a full patriot to the core. He holds Russia dearly, close to his. Reason why he is one of the key allies of Vladmir Putin.

He is the current Deputy Chair of Russia's security council. Reason why i laugh when people talk about the Arrest of Putin if he steps foot in another country. They forgot Putin only, dont make Russia.

People like Medvedev will run the whole world down if Putin is ever arrested. The country where the arrest is carried out, will be in trouble.

Who else laughed at the bolded joke ??

ItsTutsi:
Haba bro, are you sure you know what ur saying or ur purposely being mischievous!

Islam was founded by Muhammad the Prophet around 622CE (Common Era), or about 1,382 years ago in Mecca. Saudi Arabia just find Oil like about 80 years

Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nigeria and Iran are the most populated Muslim countries, all non Arab

Growth of Isam has to do with birth rate, infertility, migration and conversion. It has nothing to do with petrodollar promotion

In fact, the West have spent trillions of dollars in defaming Islam through media, misinformation and war.. the image of Islam has been on a all time low since inception because of misconceptions, so how you try to use promotion baffles me!

Bro, you Are right but there is this concept called petro-islam (can find about it), the Saudi regime used oil revenue to export Islam(wahabism) across the globe - I am not making stuff up.

DonroxyII:
Yeah !

Peace ✌️

DonroxyII:
Islam is more than One Thousand Years Old While My Grandpa was Born 1935

Common Nigga, Islam has Nothing to do with Oil ...

Saudi Only became a Heaven on Earth with Oil and Islam as a Belief System to Power the Energies Needs of the People in Upholding an Honorable Society !

You are a Muslim??

Staphylococcus:
What year did Saudi discover oil? 1938. And you saying Saudi used oil for colonization.

Seems I am
Not getting what you trying to say. Are you saying Islam got to Africa in 1938 or after 1938.

I think you talking about Gold. Not oil

No, you were right about the oil discovery in 1930s, what I am saying is that they were able to use the oil revenue to aggressively promote and propagate Islam across the globe, the petrodollar is like the catalyst to the process.

Staphylococcus:
Usman Dan Fodio had conquered Africa before the discovery of oil. Oil became a commodity post colonial era.

If you talking about gold, fine. But oil was never in the picture.

Saudi just discovered oil in 1938. Nigeria and UAE discovered oil about the same time.

I'm telling you right now that oil allow Saudi to export Islam across the globe & really are you gonna be comparing Nigeria oil reserve with that of Saudi with much lower population.

Staphylococcus:
Islam already conquered Africa before the discovery of oil. May be you trying to say how they started propagating it after the discovery of oil.

Enlighten me.

Staphylococcus:
African traditional religion is the least!

Those that conquered the continent really did a great job. I can imagine the work they put into achieving such feet.

In business sense, one must always give them kudos. The strategy is next to none. To have been able to conquers our beliefs, tradition, culture, language, dressing, education e.t.c, is an outstanding achievement!

Sentiments and feelings aside, they did a great job that one can always learn from. It was an everlasting investment they will continue to harvest from. They put-in the work!

Lol.

Lol, so long the global power dynamics is in the hands of the logical people it okay.

CSTRR:
Before chatGpT came, people were learning programming.

Loo, so people aren't learning coding again ??

BennyDGreat:
For lower pay of course.

However, some folks still earn more than 10k USD a month from Nigeria.

If there are folks like that, our question must be...how do I position myself to be that kind of person?

If some folks can legitimately earn that from here, you can too. It's all about how much value you can churn out.

Lol, you still don't get it, it there economy and they control things, there maybe folks who earn 10K USD like you said but they are in the minority (that for sure) and no matter how much people in the developing world position themselves for bigger pay it not gonna happen (it has to be in the confine of what they can or want to do).

CSTRR:
If you are a beginner in programming, stay away from openAI and chatGpT, or risk fuckkking up your fundamentals.

Why, why do you say this - enunciate on this, because what you are advocating for is almost impossible.

Lol, see em saying jobs will be taken away by AI in an underdeveloped country where Electricity that has been existing for centuries hasn't taken away your power Generator.

mactoni91:
An AI can only be as intelligent as it user.

Bro, if you no Smart, AI would give you same response it gives others.


You need to be super smart with AI to get the most of AI.

Lol, you used reverse psychology for the machine.

NakedTruth4eva:
The worst they can do is not to allow his plane to land. 6000 nuclear warheads seems like a joke to you

Humor me let say it comes down to it now, where will Russia point it nukes ??

lhordspy:
Stop replying that guy. They watch too much of hollywood movies.

Arresting Putin is like setting the world on fire. What will they do with him, Jail him or hang him?

It is always same old empty threat. Chestbeating for the media. When missiles strayed into Poland months ago. And it was rumoured to be of russia's. Why wasn't their over-hyped article 4 & 5 invoked. Everyone was scared, no one was courageous enough to even bring up the matter of article 5. They were all shivering, calling for more investigation.

Lol.
The moment it was reported that Russia missile might have killed two people in Poland, what did the Russia Foreign Ministry do ??

Lol, a lot of reason people in developing countries opined that their school is scam is because of the ways things are done there - first of all your rote learning approach will do you no good, it preclude critical thinking, problem solving skills and creativity. Since the whole thing comes down to grade (exam based learning).
People who can't think for themselves cannot create businesses that will create jobs, take away poverty and boost the standard of living.

BennyDGreat:
It's not about the average. It's more about you.
If you have solid value, you can earn more than 10k USD a month....it's all about the individual.

Lol, why did you think they are shipping out the job in the first place??

dovetark:
It depends on your experience. $500 - $10k. Remote work is the deal these days. And if you have value to offer, you definitely can reasonably determine how much you want to be paid.

10K USD, are you for real... How many people do you know earning that ??, What is the average earnings of remote worker In Africa??
Dis one wey dem dey cut jobs left and right, dem come ship those jobs overseas.

dovetark:
Beautiful pay when US based

Like what range, give a number.

IjeBos:
An aside:

I fortunately got to spend some more time in Mexico this past weekend. It got me thinking of the migrant issues we are currently having and how I had viewed Mexico.

I was at a wedding in San Miguel de Allende. San Miquel is beautiful (old world meets new) and a US tourist destination. Though it's not my first time in Mexico, the g/f likes to do more of the local stuff (fortunately she is fluent in Spanish). We had time between the wedding events so we hired a tour guide and went outside the city.

The places we ended up going to were more "authentic" and not as wealthy as St. Miquel. But just getting to those places I was surprised by the level of development. There had well developed infrastructure, i.e roads, electrical grids, transportation and water delivery. Was frustrated thinking where Nigeria is in comparison. And somewhat embarrassed about what I previously thought.

But it got me thinking about why people were migrating from Mexico and maybe I fully didn't understand it. It also made me realize that my view of Mexico had been colored by the US media's coverage largely based on political machinations. As it was surprising that I met a lot of Americans who had moved to Mexico.

In terms of politics, the next election may turn on Immigration. I wish we could have a more nuanced discussion of it. And I think part of that is the media doing a better job of informing Americans about Mexico and other places, not just putting the killings and drugs on a loop.

Why Mexicans are moving to the US - economics (people prioritize their economic interest) and just because you saw places that are 'okay' does not mean everywhere is okay.
Japan is an advanced economy and alot of japanese are migrating to the US - economics too.
Money runs Uncle Sam, the citizens are moving to Mexico for different reasons - affordable health care, running from gun violence, or even economics (geoarbitrage), what have you.

JohnBullMySon:
Definitely small arms.

I don't like to believe stuff like this are staged. I don't see a motivation for it. Since the protectees were not in the vehicle. The Nigerian driver may have gotten too relaxed and pulled the windows down.

I read the report, cops were killed too (maybe that enough motivation) but the car used are US made - a Chevy I believe, that vehicle isn't the typical car used by people the local militia has problem with.

JohnBullMySon:
It's either they stopped or the driver was driving with windows down. You know an armored vehicle's window can retract to a little distance.

But if indeed that vehicle was shot through. Then that's a very big concern that will reach the highest levels in the US. It means that government vehicles are not safe and hundreds of embassy vehicles will need replacement.

Lol, does the attack type in the images shown looks ballistic to you ??, do you consider some small arm fire were used. Although it looked staged to me.

Throwback:
Rather, if it was in your Nigeria, you would have alleged embezzlement and claimed UK would not have spent such amount.

Inferiority complex.

Ain't the UK more richer, prosperous, advanced mored than the whole of Africa ??

K.

samsard:
Being gay doesn't make anyone blind to other factors that can make people discriminate. There are gay tribalists and gay closet racists. The major reason gay people take the posture of friends of the oppressed is because it better serves their agenda. And oh, the west made a ton of its progress even when homosexuality was outlawed. So it's a mute point that the reason Africans don't make much progress is their lack of acceptance of what they consider social deviance.

Keep telling that to yourself.

See 'em - hate everywhere. They are tribalist, racist, homophobes, discriminate against folks with disability, what have you.
Some saying they are suffering from mental illness but when a Caucasian tells them he sees a monkey when he sees them, they begin to cry and start shouting racism, discrimination, prejudice. No wonder they are not prosperous - they devote their time and energy to meaningless things

superCleanworks:
there is a special place in HELL FIRE for those preachers that carry LARGE BLUETOOTH SPEAKERS in the early morning to disturb sleepers.

I remember back then in Lagos when one bros came out on his balcony with his shotgun and shot at one preacher 5am in the morning. The bullet hit the public address system the fool was using to disturb, he was lucky.

finally, that noise is just another great reminder that you are in a poor people neighbourhood.

@ bolded - what are you trying to say here - the undercurrent.

Yeah, hope the whole experience is not "pricey".

gforce5:
What are you lots complaining lol. Shey, you guys said that English is not a measure of intelligence? The koko of the matter is that most western countries don't rate you. You are of no economic value to them. The Chinese, who can't speak English, are always issued visas and given special treatment because they bring in a lot of money to the country. Do you know that the Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain don't need visas to the UK? They are issued E-visas. This is because of the amount of money they are bringing into the UK. They have bought off most of the properties in Central London. The blunt reality is that we Nigerians are noise makers who overestimate our economic value to other countries.

The Gulf state folks do not even find the western world attractive, apart from education (scholarship), they don't really go to the west.
Pubic Service job is enough for them in their countries and besides they prefer to stay in their dominant society.
Money runs the west, no money no show.

Skyview01:
count sex as a BIG achievement. No vision or philosophy for life and society and no impact whatsoever.

All they do is have sex and dance and then have sex again whenever they see a beautiful lady. Look at Ned Nwoko for example trying desperately to look young!

Ok, in one sentence -little or no contribution to humanity.
