Nice one from The Democrats . Na their LGBT propaganda I nor just like jare

Same here but America is resilient indeed. A truly great nation.

Kobicove:
The only good thing Trump achieved was clipping the wings of the LGBTQ movement!

What of the insane influx of illegals through the borders? ICE went overboard inland but the border mess was cleaned up emphatically

You can't applaud the law when it favours you then turn around to scream victimisation when you run foul of the law.

captianfreeman:
A very honest Igbo man.

Very true. He is indeed a rare breed

Wow this is huge. Congrats to the superb girls.

No, individual personal shipments of kilishi from Nigeria to the United States are generally prohibited by U.S. customs and agricultural import regulations.
If someone attempts to send homemade, commercially unapproved, or standard courier-packaged kilishi via mail (e.g., DHL, FedEx, UPS, or NIPOST) or carry it in luggage, it will be seized and destroyed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the USDA.

Why Kilishi Is Restricted
* USDA / APHIS Regulations on Beef:
The USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) strictly limits meat and meat products (especially beef/cattle) imported into the U.S. from regions monitored for livestock diseases (such as Foot-and-Mouth Disease).

* FSIS Facility & Certificate Rules:
Any meat imported into the U.S. must come from a country and processing facility that has been certified and approved by the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). Nigeria does not currently have USDA FSIS-approved beef slaughterhouses or commercial processing facilities for export to the U.S.

* FDA Prior Notice:
Even if an item is sent as a gift or personal package, all food entering the U.S. requires an FDA Prior Notice filing. Courier services screening packages from Nigeria will automatically reject or flag meat products that lack USDA/FDA clearance.

Alternative Options for Getting Kilishi in the USA

* Buy Locally Sourced/US-Made Kilishi: Several Nigerian/African grocery stores across the U.S., as well as specialized African food vendors online, sell locally produced kilishi. These items are made in USDA-inspected facilities within the United States using authentic Northern Nigerian recipes and beef cuts.

* Non-Meat Nigerian Foods via Mail: Other dried, shelf-stable plant foodstuffs (such as garri, egusi, ogbono, pounded yam flour, or dried herbs/spices) and properly processed/sealed dried fish can be shipped internationally from Nigeria as long as proper FDA Prior Notice declarations are filed.

Apogee14:
I used to buy kilishi in chicago. African store over there on broadway and bryn mawr

I was looking for this response. I have seen Nigerian kilishi at different African stores in the US.

To the OP, while getting info here may help in some cases be aware that you could be easily misled. Research more and reach out to the appropriate agencies. Check related US import requirements.

NGArmyTerrorist:
But those your banks are making millions and declaring billions in dividends, or are they fake?

Bank is Bank, Government is Government, Brewery is Brewery, School is School. The objectives and mandates are different.

Thank you. We have too many educated illiterates in Nigeria.

We need a president not a cashier.

ElSudani:
Without the economic backbone to backbone it up where would the interests come from?
Money don't just multiply in the bank, it is lent out to grow economic activities.
This is the job of the commercial banks, government money is a different issue. You can't lend it out on the basis of where you will get the best returns.
Will Ekiti or Ebonyi be able to compete with the likes of Lagos or Kano even though we have equal rights to the money?
Obi got this idea from a mad man obviously.

The most important help needed by Lagos is for other states to sit up and start performing at a much higher level. We can't keep arguing blindly against this basic fact. We have stayed too long at mediocre level across most of our states and no zone is left out including those with very high monthly allocations like Delta State and Rivers State. We also very tiny states across the country but their monthly allocations only result in a few extra large stomachs. They need to be more aggressive with collaborations and incentives to leverage whatever resources they have. Every state in Nigeria is richly blessed with one thing or the other.

Having a huge percentage of graduates and productive youths end up in Lagos State and FCT is no longer acceptable in 2026. We have brains, we must engage our brains and figure out ways to take charge of our environment. It's been a festival of excuses since 1960, no state governor should be allowed to hold local governments to ransom anymore. We need the potentials of every corner of Nigeria unlocked. When the real stakeholders, the Nigerian citizens, start seeing real movement and development they will take charge of things, including their community security as a critical part of their commonwealth and existence.

SmartyPants:
Can't you read? I just told you that the writer rephrased what Sowore said but Sowore never said so. His direct words are quoted in the article and what he said was that he and others created an enabling environment for the chap to apply. Which could be as simply as him having given him a place to stay.

That's just an example of what enable environment could mean.

That was exactly what happened. They were given accommodation at the old El-Kanemi Hall and provided resources to study & gain admission. There were a few other names apart from those already mentioned by Sowore.

Interesting story on X. Might be fiction but quite relatable for anyone with real world IT/Cybersecurity/GRC experience:


"Security called me at 6:12 AM today.

"Patch every PHP server immediately."

I asked what happened.

"Two critical vulnerabilities. Remote code execution. No authentication required."

Cool.

How many PHP servers do we have?

According to inventory: 12

According to reality:

Nobody knows.

We found one running WordPress.

Three running old internal tools.

One under someone's desk.

Two inside vendor appliances.

A forgotten employee directory from 2016.

And a server named:

PHP-OLD-DO-NOT-TOUCH

Naturally, that one runs payroll exports.

Then we found a PHP 5.6 box.

I asked who owned it.

The documentation said:

BRIAN.

Brian left in 2019.

We called Brian.

He said:

"Oh wow, that's still running?"

Excellent.

By 8 AM, leadership joined the incident call.

CEO:

"Can hackers actually get in?"

Security:

"Potentially yes."

CEO:

"Without a password?"

Security:

"Yes."

CEO:

"Then why do WE need passwords?"

Not the lesson.

Finance asked if we could wait until the weekend to patch because downtime affects revenue.

Security explained that the alternative was letting strangers execute code on our servers.

Finance asked for a cost comparison.

At 9:17, someone suggested temporarily taking the vulnerable websites offline.

Marketing refused.

"Our campaign is live."

So for the next hour, the company officially decided maintaining a landing page for 20% off webinar registration was more important than preventing remote server takeover.

We finally patched everything we could find.

Then our scanner discovered another PHP server.

Hostname:

TEMP-PHP-2014

Uptime:

4,512 days.

Nobody knows what it does.

Nobody owns it.

Nobody can shut it down.

But every time we block network access, the warehouse stops printing shipping labels.

Security has classified it as critical infrastructure.

It is running PHP 5.4.

The vulnerability has existed longer than half our employees.

The emergency patch took four hours.

Finding out what PHP actually runs took eleven.

The internet isn't held together with code.

It's held together with servers everyone is afraid to turn off."

I've read in many places that marriage is seen as a critical part of key business decisions in many cultures.

Nigerian men need to learn from that. Marriage is not the goal, productivity and wealth is the goal. If you want to marry, make it a supporting goal for your main goal. Liabilities impact businesses negatively.

Marry someone that adds to or has strong capacity to add business value individually or as force behind another related business for the family.

Good discussion but please let's place equal focus on productivity, investments, creating something out of nothing etc.

We are too focused on marriage yet we are not improving as a nation. Maybe we are not even addressing the key glue.

Do not vote Tinubu come second term.
Don't vote Tinubu

... I look forward to that but I know that after 3 years you would realize that the next person or set of leaders are only waiting for their own turn. You will only see tiny pockets of progress here and there.

CSTRR:
The Patriots of this country need to ensure that this leprous govt does not win again.

.... and vote for who? The other major candidates were part of previous governments that saw a downward trend and had the likes of Okonjo Iweala, Sanusi and others warning us of the consequences that we see today as far back as 2012.

Look at our roads, airports, schools, universities, hospitals, even government offices. Do most of them even show any sign of serious government in the past 40 years?

This is misplaced priority. What they need in the SE is a treasurer, especially Anambra axis. Presidency should help them save this money in Fidelity Bank, what's the purpose of this well executed rehabilitation project?

checkmatez:
"Travelled along the coastline"

Which coastline? Where did the coastline start and stop....
Ben, we are yet to know your intention but lies can never ever make you achieve it

The coastline starts at Onitsha and ends at Aba.

To cleanse you from double standard, I have included your response on Obasanjo's quote on Atiku Abubakar

1 - Have you read Obasanjo's "My Watch"? Where exactly did you find this Page 102 quote?

2 - True, Obasanjo said things about Tinubu but he was never in good terms with him while he was president. If you could defend Atiku on OBJ's assessment of him, Tinubu's should be a no-brainer but you actually (referenced) posted it with no clue that you fully clothed yourself in agbada of hypocrisy.

anonimi:
Quote on Tinubu attributed to Page 102 of My Watch.

anonimi:
Those who know why Obasanjo was temporarily pained about his very loyal vice president, will know what to ignore and what to reference.

This is what oyinbo people call QED.

In one post you have demonstrated exactly why the presidency of Nigeria is way bigger than Peter Obi of Anambra. We are not talking about market traders association or even a tiny state. This is about the federal republic of Nigeria which includes the state with one of the largest economies in the whole of Africa. This is obviously bigger than Trader Obi.

givedemwotowoto:
Anambra people are heaping these same praises on Peter Obi, for doing numerous projects and still saving money for maintenance and the next government to continue doing more

Hopefully Wike will leave money for those that come after him to continue doing more.

Obasanjo can forgive Atiku and ask him to make amends as he did in your video when Atiku paid him a visit at his house but that won't erase his documented testimonial on Atiku's time as VP of Nigeria: WHAT IS WRITTEN IS WRITTEN

anonimi:
This Obasanjo abi another man

Iran2025:
Hahahaha. my village people have already decided and concluded that they are voting for PETER OBI come 2027

On election day it's just you and your vote, you can't control what happens in Ogbomoso, Katsina, or Damaturu where your candidate may not even have party agents at polling units

Let me go and ask him about the disastrous privatization of government companies that he headed during Obasanjo presidency, and Obasanjo's legendary conclusions about him & his strong bond with corruption and blatant thievery in government

Now this is truly shocking!

Even farmers with no western education are fully aware that life is all about seed time and harvest time.

What did you sow abroad that you are expecting harvest in one or two years? Enjoy your seed time, embrace solitude for growth, your harvest time is guaranteed. People survived seed time abroad even during the years when there was no internet or social media. It was only hostels, studios, malls, library, occasional parties, random football etc. Your papa no be Dangote or Adeleke but you will be fine .

erad:
Lol... I don't think anyone knows OAU for sports. Though it's now living on past glory, it was known for academic excellence. Now, it produces more depressed people than enlightened people.

OAU was well known for sports for decades and also for the primary objective of every university, "academic excellence".

@Seun, Mods.

Are we trying to test some boundaries by allowing this type of POLL mapped to this thread? Hope you are able to maintain neutrality when this trend is reciprocated and scaled up in a way that the emotional ones find offensive .

Why not? You can try it but it's up to the voters across North and South to decide. We had Awolowo and Phillip Umeadi in a Christian-Christian ticket and they did well in the election but lost (12 2/3 supreme court). North did not break up .

b0rn2fuck:
would you people have allow Christian/Christian in the first place, na dat dey North will break up

That would deviate from the scope - faith/reliigion. Scope is very important in logical reasoning, in fact scope is fundamental in logical reasoning .

mindtricks:
In the same way, won't it be nice to also try ex-convicts, drug addicts and others like them since common sense isn't common?

What is not true?

motymop:
that is not true.

well to answer this your point.....a wealthy client that wants to win a case wouldn't even go to a lawyer charging 50k.

there are many cases that only falana and co can handle because of their experience, reputation as SAN and expertise
