The whites have been ripping Africa and Africans off for centuries and they are still doing it, with the connivance of worthles African leaders which they put in place.
How on earth do countries who don't have gold, cocoa, coffee etc. determine the prices at which those things should sold?
It's largely a buyer's market. If you don't sell to them, someone else will.
Nuzo1: Ol boy, this is by no means near a good news.
Serious countries left extractive industry centuries ago. Migrated to industrial production, then hitech production. But here we are still talking about selling raw cocoa for almost free.
You export a raw bag of cocoa at N20,000. White man refines it at the cost of N10,000. Sells the byproducts (cocoa drink, chocolate etc) at N200,000.
White man makes N170,000 profit from your N20,000 years of sweat.
Extractive production impoverishs a nation.
As a matter of urgency, we must learn to add value to our raw materials, be it gold, diamond, crude oil or cash crops like cocoa and cotton.
At the macro level its not great but lets learn to walk before we try to run. The urgent need in the economy is diversification. From there we can jump to refinement.
Swinger60: The bill is proposing a stricter punishment to whoever that breaks that law.
it's proposing the law to be taken serious. and offenders be punished harshly. (which you and I knows it's not happening anytime soon in this country)
That sounds a little strange. Are you certain fo what you are saying or are you mixing this up with the bill to castrate rapists in Kaduna?
Coz this people is a stand alone bill as far as I've seen. A bill to change the punishment attached to an offence would be introduced as a bill for the amendment of that Law not a fresh bill on its own.
mysportdab: Comoros Players celebrated in the dressing room after they qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Cameroon for the first time ever.
Comoros were held 0-0 at home in today's Qualifier Match against Togo.
After the final whistle, there was wild celebrations with player, and coaches jumping, and dancing in excitement in the stadium.
They have nine points from five matches and have now secured their at the 2021 tournament in Cameroon.
The Comorans use more players born abroad for their matches.
Comoros are the eighth country to qualify for the African Cup of Nations.
Algeria, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali, Senegal, and Tunisia have all qualified.
A couple of hours ago Gambia beat Angola 1-nil to qualify for the first time too. Can you capture that as well? If needed, I can provide some pics and videos of jubilation scenes.
Sixfeetbelle: This was what your initial post implied and exactly why I quoted you. To think you were trying to excuse his depraved behavior with this nerve talk just because a teenager said she enjoyed the sex mortified me greatly.
For what it's worth, I think you're wrong for bringing up this nerve talk in a case such as these. There are other reasons why she said she enjoyed the act, so giving focus on this fact is just helping to push up the pedophilic tendencies in men.
I said what I said to explain that the girl enjoying it is irrelevant to the circumstances. This was necessary because the person I replied to said the girl was senseless for saying she liked it.
The essence of my response was to first say that yes, she could have liked it and therefore saying she enjoyed it was not senseless. And secondly that whether she enjoyed it or not is not relevant.
I expressly said so, in fact, concluding in very plain terms, that the girl is mentally incapable of appreciation of the act and therefore not qualified to consent even if she liked it.
This line of argument is necessary because, one accusing her of being senseless is also accusing been of poor decision making and if you accuse her of poor decision making, you are I PlYing that she was mature enough to understand what was happening.
I'm simply pointing out that the poor girl did nothing wrong.
Does an adult have the same nerves as a pre-teen? Does an adult have the same nerves as a child or even a toddler?
And if they do, does not mean that the two will enjoy a particular activity the same way? Will they react to a stimulation the same way? Yes or no?
You obviously lack depth in this field so go and read up.
A fully formed human whether pre-teen or not has all the nerves they are ever going to have once they reach a certain stage of development which occurs at a very early age. If anything, age deadens degrees of sensitivity.
Due to hormonal differences there might be slight differences in levels of arousal and desire but I never said that a pre-teen enjoys sex in exactly the same way, only that she or even he, has the same capacity for pleasure.
Kriss216: I've said this before and I'll keep saying it...
The sensible Nigerian girls died during the civil war!
A 12 year old has the same nerves as a 38 year old woman. Of course she would like it.
That has nothing to do with having sense.
However, the Law recognizes that a 12 year old is not capable of mental appreciation of the act and it's consequences. Therefore the girl is the victim here.
mrdharkchild: I went through a missionary school and I OK /certify that flogging and punishments as means of proper discipline. Before you get into a missionary school or a minor seminary, prepare your mind that you are sending your child to a correctional facility. Those marks are even small self. It'll heal in no time. If it's a student that flogs u like that, the school has a disciplinary committee, direct it to them, than share the pics and bring the matter to the internet. This will only facilitate your expulsion. Missionary schools is a military school in disguise, where u learn perseverance, discipline, as a man. Indomie generations would never understand. All they care about is defaming and sabotaging the names of missionary schools. but to what end? For once the discipline never killed me. It only made us stronger, and taught us to device means to survive (SOHK). I fought, I scavenged for food, I took a swollen eye, a swollen face, monkey yansh, slaps, velentino belts, koboko, wire, nepa wire, wood... Name them. I won most fights, I lost some, broken wrists. Learnt how to bend rules, not break them. It was an adventure you can never take out of my life. When I complained to my parents and they kept me mute, then I knew what I signed up for, the plan was to aim for SS3, or get a school father. It was like a game of Chess and cards. You can either decide to pay attention to instructions, or suffer d consequences. Your parents signed u up for it. If not, take your kids to other schools. Missionary schools r for discipline. Same as military schools. No priest is a devils incarnate. Check your forms of undertaking.
I went through lumen Christi, uromi. Commisioners and top politicians usually dump their kids in my school, even some kids from abroad, to b corrected.
From my jss1 till SSS1 I was hated and flogged, the picture posted above is a child's play flogging. I encouraged myself, consoled myself, learnt alot of lessons from that school. I don't have a single Cain or koboko or wire mark on my body today.
We even learnt how to persevere with the punishments and bear the pain, and even turned it to a joke. When flogged, we'd bone (which is d word we used back then) the cane, it became fun. And for 6years. Today I use those punishments as exercise in my early mornings.
We learnt how to manage suffering, because it is by suffering that character is birthed. This generation don't know how to manage when suffering, it's y many marriages, when the men lose their source of income, the woman leaves.
This generation, at the slightest frustrations and discomfort, they feed it to the internet to defame others and spread spiteful rumors and most especially, commit suicide.
We r men, we were built to b strong and masculine. If you don't know how to take a Cain, how to fight, how to take a punch, how to manage pain, how to frog jump, how to be tough, then try the feminine gender. Thank u.
Lots of trash in here. Attended boarding school and went through lots of these. There is no reason for such child abuse.
Actually it's not a different gender you need, it's a different specie.
Karlovych: Failure is an orphan, had it been he had achieved a huge success they would have been all over him and even published him pictures on their website as a role model for new and existing cadets.
Are you positing that people should be proud of those who heap disgrace upon themselves?
I want to believe the learned judge has been misinterpreted
Stare decisis does not apply to the Supreme Court. It is the only Court that can do and undo and in fact, it is trite principle of legal interpretation, that laws must be interpreted in the context of changes in the climes.
The learned justice could not have made the statement attributed to him.
Khaleepha5681: I swear that Fulani do much better than both Igbo and Yoruba combined, home and away
I wonder why I don't see news kinda news like this about northerners here, despite the fact we watch and read them day and night
I can mention countless northerners who make it abroad but you won't here anything about them
Is this supposed to be news?
The threads you see on southerners are started by ordinary members like you. So can you see that you yourself are lazy and unproductive since you can't do the simple task of starting a thread to celebrate your own. Be there crying that no one is opening a thread to post of Fulani exploits.
Having watched over a 1000 football matches, I've come to notice that headers are almost impossible to save.
I've regularly seen keepers save leg shots from point blank range, but once a striker gets a header on target, 9 times out of 10 it ends in the back of the net, even if it's from some yards out. So why is it difficult for keepers to save headers? And yes I've checked Google but didn't get satisfactory answers.
First of all, what is the evidence that headers are saved less frequently?
This is not how to build an argument sir.
Anyway, what you need to understand is that most headers happen very close to the goal. From the same range, a shot is more likely to go in.
thorpido: It's odd though but I guess some traditional practices heavily influence such decisions. She wasn't even married to him so why did she feel compelled to marry the brother?
Cashsteady: let it start now thank God Yoruba people no kuku plenty for that region I even doubt if they are Yorubas there. the Yorubas there are countable but the terrorist here in the west are uncountable ordinary my street for ijebu ode the Hausa people wey dey there go reach 50 wey dey Carry stick for sawmill not to talk of the central mosque side wey no too far from my street that's just one axis oo.. All this one no dey cause trouble oo but make u people just attack the few Yorubas in North aje the Hausa fulani terrorist wey dey my area go hear am
If you know they don't cause trouble why do you call them terrorists, and why do you wish them harm?
Shyluck: I have seen a lot of big men with pump action rifles especially at funerals and I would ask myself 'do these people have licences for these guns ?'. Individuals shouldn't be allowed to own pump action guns.
Nothing like a pump action rifle. You may mean a pump action shotgun, which is likely among the acceptable guns since it is closer to a hunting gun.
SeunDobo: Bank can't provide anything the money is Gona the Op should just forget about it because Op is already a fool for sharing your pin with your girlfriend . My mother sef no Sabi my pin ... anyways bank can't do anything because I feel like the girl used quickteller with her information on his Atm and his pin to transfer the money don't ask me how I know am a forensic psychologist
I don't know how quick teller works (perhaps you can enlighten me) but for sure there is always a forensic trail.
Andyvilly: but still no white man celebrated with him during the game when he scored the goals, and they expect him to kneel before every game. thank you zaha for being the real hero.
Of course they celebrated with him, I watched the game live. Don't exaggerate.
I did notice that his teammates don't seem very free around him which is in contrast to Ndidi. I think he has issues settling into European culture because it was the same at Man City.
Janosky: Bros, no rebellious angel was caged in hell. The actual Greek word in 2 Peter 2:4 is "Tartarus", not hell/hellfire. Brother Max is correct. Please read up the Screenshots and use your Bible Greek lexicon. Shalom.
When joining a conversation that has gone a long way try to read and understand the issues. We are not debating over the meaning of hell or whether it is tarturus or some other place. In fact I've since made this clear.
The narrow issue is, are the disobedient Angela being caged? And the broader issue is what is the final fate of the devil and his cohort?
And if you look at the second screenshot you posted the answer to the narrow question is clearly yes.
MaxInDHouse: It's a free world! I'm only telling you what i beleive so it's not under compulsory you're convinced. Those who will believe are already doing so. God's word revealed what Satan did that made God pronounced judgment on this angel, and God's word also told us what His other spirit sons did that made Him condemned them, apart from these two instances the rest of the angels are ever loyal to God!
God doesn't have a different punishment for any angel, where you're getting it wrong is thinking the word caged referred to what humans like you and i would conclude when we hear such a thing! We are talking about spirits here, their own caging doesn't mean puting them in one place Sir it simply means they don't have access to God anymore, they can go to anywhere else but no communication between them and God. So they're only hearing from Satan who is directing them that's why they're referred to as his angels God never created any angel for Satan neither did Satan create any by himself!
I never told you eternally because they will soon be destroyed but since they don't grow old, get sick or die naturally like humans, they keep roaming about! Matthew 12:43
So it's not compulsory you accept this i'm only telling you what i and my global family of peace loving worshipers beleive {John 17:17, 20-23 compare to 1Corinthians 1:10} please pitch your tent anywhere else, it's a free world!
Okay, thanks for your contribution. My parting comment/observation to you is that you take liberties with construction which you might want to think about.
For instance, when the Bible says repeatedly, that a certain group of Angels are caged in hell, deciding to give it another meaning of your own, makes me wonder what your motive is.
WalexyWWE: Hello guys, how are you doing. so I posted some days back how my girlfriend persuaded me to invest in an online ponzi scheme and I didn't give in.
Well she called me back to apologise and said she is sorry. I forgave her and things came back to normal. she came to spend the weekend at my place areived on Friday we talked, gisted and all that.
She left on Sunday morning said she has church program to attend. I was taking a nap on Sunday afternoon when the sound of alert message from my bank came in I thought I was still dreaming I saw 20k debit alert 6 times (120k).
To be Frank I almost developed and hear attack. I quickly blocked my line via my bank app. I thought my atm has been misplaced.
I was still searching my room for my ATM card when my girlfriend call came in. she told me she withdrew the money(she knows my pin) and she wants to use it for the same ponzi scheme she talked about. she said why will i leave money Idle in my account when sha can make use of it.
I was so dumbfounded to be sincere, I got so angry took my keys and drove to her place her neigbour said they haven't seen her. called her line again she said I shouldn't bother going to her house that she wont be sleeping home for a while now.
She said I should replace the money with all the good times she has had with me. I'm very angry right now and I dont care what happens. I'm going to the police station tomorrow morning to report this case but how do I convince them she did it since she took the money from my ATM I want a strong evidence against her. I have informed her sister and her sister said any move I take she is in support. apparently she has done the same to her sis in the last.
Your bank can provide you with CCTV footage of the withdrawals.
MaxInDHouse: It's in the other post but i'll cite it again!
The rebellious angels were disconnected from God {2Peter 2:4; Jude 6} so they're roaming about possessing human bodies to get a relief {Matthew 9:32} and when Jesus dispossess them they feel tormented {Matthew 8:29; Mark 5:7} and they keep observing whatever Jehovah's Witnesses Organization say to know about the judgment day! 1Peter 1:12
2 Peter 2:4 clearly says the angels who sinned were put into gloomy dungeons in hell (hades maybe). These ones are the ones who had improper human contact and are caged already. They are not roaming anywhere.
However, the devil is not caged and there are demons with him that are not caged. Of these, Jesus says, in Matthew 25:41that they would be sent into a lake of fire. This is not even a parable. This is a teaching of what will happen at the judgment. The events spoken of here are yet to happen. Thus, again, the punished angels spoke on in 2 Peter 2:4, are not the ones referred to here-- rather, all of the devils cohort is referred to.
You are saying, now, that no, they will be roaming eternally. No scripture you posted there says what you have said.
Furthermore, you are now saying there is no lake of fire?
