Nobody argued that nobody was killed during the Endsars protest...people were killed in various state of the federation during the protest...but what was or is being disputed is Lekki Toll Gate Massacre by soldiers.

The Nigerian army states no one was killed

DanHaske:
This is lame.
Why has nobody has come out to say their relative went to protest and didn't come back.

I have given you FOUR sources. I'll find more articles during my lunch break

May I have your rebuttal to what I have just posted?

johnmartus:
And what's their names at least they supposed to have name and family.

Dead people cannot give their names

Some families will assume that they are still missing not dead

...and what makes you think if he attended that the moment won't be captured?

Lets leave out the word "think" and 'if" as they are assumptions. Let's just go by the evidence from the video.
1. She did not twerk. 2. There is no proof that he did not show up 3. My statement did not confirm that he did show up.

1. She did not twerk
2. A 90 second video is no proof that the child's father did not attend a party that was at least 4 hours long.

While many folks from all over Nigeria are out doing ENDSARS protests, how come SE folks are not protesting against all the needless deaths, killings, burnings and pillaging in the SE, students and little girls are getting slaughtered, Doctors are getting slaughtered, even Royal fathers are getting slaughtered in cold blood.?

Why? Are they not human beings or their lives doesn't matter at all?

What gives?

You asked a good question.

This is the answer: the average SE (not all, but most) believe that UGM are state sponsored assassins, due to news from reputable papers like the one shown below.
It is not up to me to decipher if UGM is DSS but the paper states so, and the people believe so
Also recall that the Nigerian police is the most corrupt institution in the country (please see references below)

The question is: What is the wisdom in carrying a protest to the most corrupt state-owned institution about state-owned assassins.
2nd question : Since they cannot carry out a protest with placards what other method of protest can they organise?

You got it right: The answer is SIT-AT-HOME protest and that is what they are doing?
I look forward to a great conversation with you about this

DJ Witch ur live will Neva be the same after causing wanton destruction and several deaths

She was not the one who caused anything. She only streamed live what was happening. Did you not watch the live streaming?

KosiGee:
A has expanded chest and inflated lungs full of air to remain buoyant, he is less dense than the water …Archimedes. he is still alive I think. C subconsciously is still gripping onto the books which would’ve soaked, expanded in weight. The book would’ve dropped into the sea if he was dead. His posture shows he still has some control of his motor functions. He would’ve slumped or collapsed to his left and probably fallen off his floating balloon and into the sea.

B seems relaxed like someone sunbathing but he is unconscious and he is not aware of the coffee spill beside and under him…by elimination method…I’d say B is dead.

You have a very good point

Let me show you another angle: Definitely not C, but then B has lots of ripples around his legs.
Might be A

Can't access my GCKey. Is it only me ?

If your GCkeys was revoked it happened to lots of people. You will need to create and link a new application - at least that was what I did for someone yesterday.

Previously passwords for GCkey could be only letters but the new update is letters and numbers

Maybe that is why a lot were revoked, but I am not too sure

Hello guys,

I know this isn't LinkedIn but I thought its worth a shot.

I'm studying Software development at Lambton College, Toronto. I'm going into my final semester and due to start co-op (Internship) in January as a requirement for my program.

Its proving to be more difficult than I thought to find placement. Even though January seems far away, I'm getting anxious because if I'm unable to get a placement, I would have to enroll in another semester and pay its fees, for which I have not budgeted.

If anyone here has any leads, or can connect me, or refer me, or employ me, it would be really helpful.
Also, I dont have to be in Toronto, so if there are opportunities elsewhere, I'm open to that too.

You can reach out to me privately, or reply to this post or ask for my contact information.

I hope my helper gets to see this.

Quickly look for the telegram group NIPCA (Nigeran IT Professionals in Canada. Search out the admins Ositaman or Chinny and ask if you can place this Advert there. Its a wonderful group and one or more people will help you there.

See if you can contact a recruiter from Recruiting in motion - they are one agency that has a preference for entry-level staff

It is obvious to all that civilisation started in Africa and in Egypt precisely, however ancient Egyptians were not Arab but today Egypt and most north African countries are all considered Arab countries,the big question is where are the blacks of ancient Egypt where are they what happened to them?

They still exist. A popular one is Mostafa Hefney

Ketima:
If you did your Biometrics in Abuja and you want to send your passport to Abuja for stamping, you won't pay the 8920 transmission fee. But if you did Biometrics in Abuja and want to send your passport to Lagos, then you will pay transmission fee. Vise versa.

Now for delivery fee. If you're to use DHL or UPS as the case maybe, we are adviced to pay for 2-way. That is, DHL or UPS will deliver your passport to your choice place of stamping, when is is stamped, they will bring it back to your doorstep ( the address you put when sending the passport for stamping). Now if you do one way to VAC office, once DHL or UPS sends it to VAC, their job is done. Now when VAC have stamped your passport, that figure you're seeing there is what you will pay for them to send it back to you. I stand to be corrected though. Which is costlier than what DHL and UPS charge. DHL charged me 6400 for 1-way, so I paid 12,800 for 2 way, which is far below VAC 1-way returning of your passport after stamping.

Hope is clear now.

The gurus will throw more light on it.

Well explained. Thank you so much

Ketima:
Pay transmission fee to the Canada logistics account. Include the reciept of payment into the documents you're sending to VAC. So you're to pay it before enclosing all documents in the DHL envelope. This payment is if you're sending to were you didn't do your biometrics. Just left DHL some mins ago and it was a smooth process.

Hi Ketima, I am trying to get more clarification as the information on the VFS website about submission is sort of ambiguous. Are you saying that If Mr A does his biometrics in Abuja and is sending his passport to be stamped, apart from the fee below there is nothing else to be paid to VFS Global?

PLEASE if you plan to come into Canada in December I need a travel buddy. Please send a PM

Hello , please how did you make this payment. Was it via Form A?

Ritual murder and child sacrifice is not a concept of Christianity or Islam but it is a concept in traditional african religion

A001:
It mainly has to do with religion. And the problems you mentioned all boil down to the poor mentality of people, especially the religious ones.

It's only religious people that believe in many superstitious things, so you'd find vices like using humans for sacrifices common among them, whether Muslims, Christians or traditionalists.

An atheist or agnostic that does not believe in the supernatural can't engage in that.

Then, at any point in time, it was not the whole of Africa that participated in slave-trading, using humans for sacrifices. And there were people that criticized these barbaric practices when they were common in certain areas.

Then, greed isn't just an African thing. I see you don't know the history of colonialism in Africa done by countries such as the Great Britain, France, Holland.

All the corrupt practices African leaders are exhibiting today were learned from the colonial masters who plundered the wealth and statues of many countries in Africa to develop the West.

Greed, corruption aren't an African thing. Generally, people with a poor mentality that believe in fictitious entities like Jesus, Satan to solve problems for them will be greedy and corrupt.

Do you know why the colonials were never ever able to colonize Ethiopia? Do you know that Christianity began in Ethiopia in 400AD long, long, long before the white men stepped foot into Africa?

The Roman Empire (officially adopted Christianity in AD 380.

Christianity in Africa arrived in Egypt in the middle of the 1st century. In the 4th century, the Aksumite empire in modern-day Eritrea and Ethiopia became one of the first regions in the world to adopt Christianity as an official religion and the Nubian kingdoms of Nobatia, Makuria and Alodia followed two centuries later.

When did slavery start in Africa? Sometime in 1619, a Portuguese slave ship, the São João Bautista, traveled across the Atlantic Ocean with a hull filled with human cargo: captive Africans from Angola, in southwestern Africa.

You can see that the white men were not the actual people who introduced Christianity or Islam in Africa. White people know how to take advantage of existing loop holes. They don't go creating it.

Colonial masters were NOT the first slavers of Africa. We cannot continue to heap the problem on the colonial masters and their religion.
If Africans continue to find who to blame they will never learn and that is the reason why they sold out to the Arabs, sold out to the Europeans and north Americans and TODAY we are selling out to the Chinese. Are you aware that China is buying Africa.

The questions I am asking is if religion is the problem why is Italy, Kuwait, Dubai, Argentina, Brazil, doing much better than many countries in Africa.

Below is a narrative of the Maasai who never left their traditional religion. Please answer, why are they not the richest tribe in Africa, if the key is to follow our traditional Gods?

As for greed being a African thing. The late General Abacha stated that any insurgency beyond 24 hours has the backing of people in government. It is the house rat that shows the field rat where food is in the house.
Over 17 million slaves were traded. Who showed them the way around the bushes without GPS? A set of greedy Africans. Have you read about King Jaja of Opobo or Olaudah Equaino (Ekweano)? Who caught them? It was not a white man, It was their own village people that sold them.

When emissaries where sent to a king in Bonny to tell him that slavery was over, he refused. He said it was a practice ordained by the "gods"
King Tegbusu (an African) was worth 250,000 pounds from proceeds of slavery. Even now 250,000GBP is a lot of money, not to talk of 500 years ago yet African King Tegbesu kept on selling his brothers.

The level of greed showed by our ancient african slave traders could not have been recently learned. Its in the blood

Religion has absolutely nothing to do someone's success.
