And in response



SAUCE

Well, if she has a testis or a Y chromosome, then she shouldn't be competing in female category.
Simple.

Im not clear about the namibian Christine mboma gender status.
Is she a case of another cestar samanya or its just naturally high testosterone level in her blood.

Everybody does it (David Alaba is claimed by Austria, the Phillipines, and Nigeria for example.)

Well, I guess success has many fathers. Failure has only one mother.
I just couldn't imagine Americans joining the attache trend.
Even nairaland won't allow giannis antetokumpo rest. See the way Yorubas and ibos dey drag the guy.

The winner of the 100m gold medal Marvell Jacobs is mixed race. African american father and italian mother.
Now social media is at war with both Americans and italian claiming him.
I thought it's only we Nigerians that like to do attache and claim other nations success.

Bro there is time for every thing. Holiday is holiday. My kids go flex.

Sitting at home doing What?
And who is going to sit with them at home? The parents who are doing 8-4 o'clock jobs?
Or u going to leave little children all by themselves?
There is a reason parents demanded for summer lessons. It has nothing to do with academic lesson.

LikeAking:
At the exp of the childs future?

I will never send my kids to summer school.

I will neve gat an home teacher/teachers for my kids.


Live is bigger than edu.

Except u plan to take them on vacation or other leisure activities....then I see no point locking kids at home for 8 weeks doing nothing.
They might as well go for summer lessons n enjoy social interaction.
It's not like u will even have time for them at home.

Oga, this is the best Nigerian team. We should appreciate the fact that we have 8 NBA players in our team. They are a total of 29 NBA players eligible to play for Nigeria, and more than half who happen to be the best half have pledged their allegiance to other countries. From the Antetokunpos allegiance to Greece, to Ayton's allegiance to Bahamas, to Anunoby,Oladipo, Adebayo, and Okoro's allegiance to USA.

I counted 19 NBA players of nigerian descent. Can u send a link to the total 29 players.

HWniubi:
Are you being funny? China is the country second only to the US in national power, a country that developed the latest 5th generation fighter jets, retrieved soil from the moon and landed on Mars, you tell me China has no Internet access? I've decided to send your line to Chinese netizens to hear the best joke of the century

You guys don't have internet. What u have is intranet.

Wickedfact:
That's what Iran thought until US dealt with them.

Democrats are too nice to be confrontational.
That's why I miss Trump. That guy na real nigga

lakefist:
Your food for thought is not true.

Na for old people. Now are days male child care mor for their family more than female ones.

We can discuss over fome if u don't agree.

That's not true. Female children care more for their aged adults.
How many elderly people lives with their son compared to daughter.
U think one wife is ready to take upon her the burden of caring for one parent in law.
Just pray for both...mix is good.

How has proxy wars favored the US in Syria?

And if the Pentagon is that eager to attack China, why hasn't it done so already? We both know that if a weak, anti-western country like Myanmar was doing just half of What China is doing, they would have been invaded a long time ago. Just look at how NK was waving missiles in their faces compared to Iraq.

China is a formidable foe, it's not a weakling. They need planning and strategy to invade China possibly via proxy.
They provoked China by meddling with taiwan. 3 us senators recently visited the island.
Myanmar, neighbouring country to china is already looking like a zone of interest if affairs in that country get a out of hand.
War with china is inevitable, China is determined to replace USA as the supreme superpower.
USA will never allow that and they will take on any country that challenge their supremacy.
North korea is considered a nuisance, nothing more. There's no special interest in that country at the moment.
The priority now is the economic and political shift from the west to the east. That's the focus.

Why is this girl bearing Osaka? What happened to her father's name who is from Haiti?
See as Japan fully claim the girl with no reference to her paternal side at all.
No joy in being a third world country.

How come they didn't qualify for the Olympics?
That Zambian team na something else

I think the male preference is an African thing or should I say prevalent in conservative society- it's also a very big deal in Islamic community.
In western countries, for a black family- it's much easier to train a girlchild than a boy.
Black boys are at the lowest rung in the pyramid scale of societal importance.
They are also very difficult to train, they won't listen to you, leave home very early, some cut themselves off from the family n change their names.
It's a big achievement here to have a very successful family oriented black boy.
The issue of keeping family name is quite dicey. But as an immigrant, just know that your grand children n great grandchildren will likely abandon your African sounding name- whether boy or girl.
If in doubt, ask Ryan Giggs, Carlton Cole, Ashleigh plumptree n Ross Barkley.

China restrict the amount of yuan in external circulation.
It's use outside the country is limited in few official transaction approved by Chinese govt.
The whole swap deal was just propaganda from Chinese govt.
At least for now.

Lagos is Yoruba land. Stop lying.

Ayo2004:
War against China or Russia or any other world power is not good business for US at all and they know it

Have u heard of proxy war.
America loves proxy war against other super power.
USA will never miss the opportunity eengage in proxy war against China if the later invades taiwan.

And war is actually good business for USA and they know it.
Moreover, do not underestimate American hatred for China and the low threshold Pentagon has to declare war against China.
The decision to pull out of Afghanistan was to fully focus on the next big threat...China.

zhike:
The problem is that you accepted that there is superior race, which is not true.
The civilization happened because God wanted it to happen.
I am convinced that you never stayed in a multiracial environment. Racism is in your mind, and you remove racism from your mind you will be free.

The issue is not what u believe but what others think should be the status quo.
You can challenge it, but know white people believe all opposition to their dominance should be crushed.

The above is why african americans always fight white police- they don't want to bow...and we all know how it mostly ends up for them.
Go and read about Tulsa, a prosperous black city that almost rivalled New york.
Guess what happened to it? The whites in conjunction with American air force bombed it into extinction when the wealthy blacks become too arrogant for comfort.
If china continues on the path of defiance to white domination- war is inevitable. Why? because white can never imagine any other race above them.
The white man created the God u talking about...so if they tell u God gave them this civilisation to rule the earth, then u must believe it. Believing otherwise, means u asking for trouble.
The white man is an evil genius...know this and know peace.

The only way to defeat racism is for blacks to develop a superior culture that beats and eventually replace other cultures. This must spread across all human fields of endeavour including technology, economy, education, religion, art, language, entertainment, sport, fashion, lifestyle. The rest of the world must copy us, there should be a desire to travel down to Africa to gain knowledge to become successful.
Anything from above is just being economical with the truth. You can't be spending dollar or studying in harvard, and claim u are better than the whites. U just fooling around.

I live in uk by the way- a multi cultural society deeply entrenched in institutional racism- the worst form of racisim.
I noticed first hand how racism messed up the first generation of mixed race children born in this country - suicide rate was very high among them. Things are better for them now, some identify with black or simply say they are mixed- since there are now plenty of them.

op knows nothing about racism.
Racism is about a superior culture n subjugation of other races n culture.
Whites believe they established the current civilisation which is the best ever created. Therefore, they should be the indisputable leader in this dispensation. No other race or culture should challenge them.

Blacks becoming wealthy will not eradicate that.
Instead the whites will feel threatened n jealous.

Ask the chinese, despite being the 2nd wealthiest nation on earth now, they are the most hated in western nation. Right now, the talk is about how western nations can stop China...by war if possible.

Is she the dg or not?

Or is it because oluwole certificate adeosun wasn't appointed?

Avoid rat poison pls...

Thanks.

I think I will stop responding to tribal trolls here...
Educating u guys is pointless. U guys are beyond redemption.
I just hope Seun gives u a commission for all your troubles. At least for boosting nairaland Alexa ranking.

hard fact remain white house officials were against her candidacy when she was selected for the post.
ogundaimisi and kemi were correct when they tweeted she may not get the post.
others were wrong including myself who initially thought they posted out of envy.

GTBank UK

Shocking, isn't it?

I'm not into tribal ish. No time for that but was shocked like other when I discovered its really owned by British. Sad. Never knew its a foreign bank.

Gtbank uk is a subsidiary of gtbank here in nigeria. Not the other way round.
British own nothing, it's purely a nigerian affair.
Here is the list of the board of directors
https://www.gtbank.com/about/our-company/corporate-governance/board-of-directors
How many British name did u see there?
Whatever your motive...get sound education b4 coming online to spread ignorance.
Anyway, gtb has been delisted from the NSE and is now guarantee trust holdings.

Kayode Ogundamisi gave his opinion based on Intel from usa that Trump and white house will not support ngozi for wto job.
Is that not true? Didn't trump come out to oppose her candidacy.
U guys should chill...all this 'everybody hates u story' is becoming stale n irrational. Your biggest enemy comes from within.
Go check out those who betrayed nnamdi kanu in Kenya.

Some people will come hear to say na CLITOCURRENCY, but the thing be say, if mugu fall, guy-woman go chop.

Some of your gfs never see laptop collect sef, but na you fck them pass as you no kuku get work. Morning till night you dey inside there. Unlike sugar daddy wey go attend business meetings, go home to his wife, visit his kids at school…etc.

Last last all na FORNICATION. If you decide to FORNICATE for free, na you sabi. E go still call you fish brain and cheap olosho. You know what they say about eating frogs? Eat the fat one! Rie nke gbaragba!

If men love themselves so much as they claim, they should start buying themselves houses, instead of beer and goof. Till they do that, the FUTURE remains FEEMALE.

This is my non-moralistic stand. If you want the moral stand, wait for July the 18th.

so u have this high level of humour...

INCREDIBLE007:
on a second thoughts

I don't know if I'm the only one seeing this trait in this white people

when they are connected to Nigeria either by parents, spouse or by residency they tend to have that stubborn zeal to showcase their Nigerian Ness

unlike some of black Nigerians who are looking for any slight opportunity to log out of the country

.this life nor balance true true

It's human nature to long for what is rare.
Being nigerian feels exotic to them.
I once met an Indian girl in uk who was proud to tell me she's from Uganda.

deenee:
Refinery business is not profitable yet Saudi Aramco is worth over 2 trillion dollars.

Aramco is Saudi equivalent of nnpc, except it's properly managed. Its a state owned enterprise.
They are into all sectors of oil n gas including the highly profitable ones like crude oil drilling where majority of their revenue comes from anyway.
Petroleum products are dirt cheap in Saudi Arabia because of heavy govt subsidy.
Aramco is not in the domestic refinery market for profit. Pls, don't compare it to Dangote.

grandstar:
This report is vicious and mean. The writer seems delighted that Dangote has beaten more than he can chew and will soon sink.

As much as I disagree with rhe way he does his business, this refinery will do the country a lot of good. He should be praised for such foresight and taking a big risk where others have feared to thread.

The project was taking long to complete, even when we take into consideration its size. I am shocked he did not know how to organize the construction. Does he not have a project manager with many years experience?

If he is ready to eat humble pie, this project can still be completed despite the dearth of cash if true. [b]All he has to do is to sell stakes to investors. This will reduce his stake but will ensure the completion of the [/b]project.

I think this is the major issue. Refinery business is not really a profitable venture that guarantees quick return on investment. Its a very low profit margin business.
It's going to be hard to attract foreign investors that won't demand two arms n two legs especially in a volatile region like nigeria. Dangote may end up becoming a minority stakeholder.
However, the refinery is too big to fail. A lot is at stake here. FG will have to find a way to ensure its completion...if it means taking over.

I doubt local investors can be of any help. Or is it not nigerian bank collecting 700 million dollars every year over a 7.5 billion loan. Na wa o.
Maybe Cubana and his boys can come to his rescue.

DubaiLandLord:
Him money no reach politics money o. A Nigerian Governor have the capability to dash person #200 million Nigeria. Shey Obi Cubana fit dash person that kin amount?

Which governor will dash u 200 million in this buhari era. How much is their state allocation. Their monthly security vote is not even up to 200 million naira.

Amaechi2023:
Nigeria would never find its feet if we have intelligent people controlling its affairs and not innovative people.
many intellectual individuals in Nigeria lacks the ability to innovate new strategies on things but rather keep playing by the script of things.
we don't want to gamble but rather live from peoples experience all the time even though the circumstances are not identical.
I was happy the other day when I heard the FG printed #60billion to cover state allocation, I taught they are beginning to have sense but didn't know they are far from it.
ordinarily borrowings should be made to fund capital projects that would generate revenue. but the case of recurrent expenditure, the CBN should print cash artificially in cases of cash shortage to manage it.
to all those trying to speak inflation I think they are blind to the fact that even when we didn't print cash we were hit with inflation.
monies are being starched by some billionaires that should be helping the economy but instead of wasting resources going to court, the f.g should replace that money pending when they have more evidence.
money should be relatively scarce not hyper scarce.

U want to print artificial naira to fund infrastructure or pay salary.
By the time dollar becomes 1000 naira, your eyes go clear.
U fail to address the fundamental problem of inflation...we are not a producing nation. U talking of treating symptom.

TeraHawks:
The original post was a comparison between someone earning $100k and the equivalent N50m annually. It was not about the ratio of people within the income bracket. My assertions has been in line with this comparison and I went further to compare with $65k which is the estimated average income in the US.

Again, I make bold to say, all the things you enjoy in the US are available in Naija if you can afford it. Constant power, good healthcare etc. And like I pointed out as well, they are from private service providers not PUBLIC. The bane of existence in a 3rd world developing nation is lack of PUBLIC infrastructure. Who said there are no ambulances in Naija? hell, there are even helicopter evacuation services!!

The biggest mistake Nigeria has made so far is BUHARI. I know the shock as the value of the Naira continues to plunge whenever one travels out. Before then, I know countless professionals who returned to jobs here because the exchange rate was not this bad and so the allure of the Dollar was less. The fortunate ones had their contracts in FOREX so they are still balling. Till today, there's no professional I know that wont prefer to earn in Dollars whilst living/working in Nigeria. Simple reason is, YOU CAN SAVE MORE and DO MORE cos the cost of living is way way less here. In terms of standard of living, yes there is a gap between the abroad and here but with money, you can close the gap a little bit.

THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.

We are not comparing apple to apple; we are only speaking within the context of the original post.

And, the discussion is not about how much you earn or I earn. I believe though that by now you would have guessed I have lived there, luckily I still had the means to move back to Naija without losing much.

That's why I keep saying to people - because I know well-off folks who jumped to relocate and are regretting it today - to always think well well. As a matter of fact, I recommend abroad if you are Single and under 30. If not, you must have an in-demand professional background as the brand-drain from Naija is still very much operational.

It shall be well with Nigeria again. We shall see the demise of the troublers of the country; and we shall occupy our rightful place in the comity of nations...one day.

Nobody earning 32 million naira per year will relocate abroad. Those earning such amount will likely be at the zenith of their careers in nigeria e.g CEO, very top managers in corporate service. Less than 0.001% of the workforce.
Even permanent secretaries in FG parastatal don't earn 1 million per month- legally.
No fresh graduate or middle grade worker earn 32 million per yr, not even oil workers except the expatriate.
So this argument is baseless in the 1st place.

I earn roughly 55 thousand pounds after tax in the UK as a middle grade staff.
If I decide to relocate back to naija, how easy will it be for me to earn equivalent amount- 30 million naira in nigeria within my field.
Very unlikely...so what's all these discussion about then.
There's a reason people travel. Those factors haven't changed.
