Vianna:
It's one reason the west have never believed in herbs. If it's not drugs and vaccines that can generate profit and revenue, they'll condemn it. The pharmaceutical industry, WHO, UNICEF and the likes are highly corrupt, dubious.and inhumane. That's why I still laugh at people who in 2020 still believe there is no cure for AIDs. They know that with a cure, not everyone will be able to afford it so it's better the virus managed which means more revenue.

If there is a cure that is so expensive that not everyone e can afford it, the companies woukd develop separate product lines. Extremely expensive high-end cures, and low budget management options.

Your theory is not commercially consistent.

xendra:
NO. Don't talk it down, what the OP is talking about is not that simple, I know men who are like him, and they are angry at women for not being perfect when they themselves are intolerable. they HATE women yet they are always sleeping or trying to sleep with one, just can't keep any. its NOT normal at all.

just reading his post I would think it's a friend I turned down his marriage proposal but I'm sure it's not him because that one can't write as good as the OP but he is very rich so he gets to sleep with a lot of pretty women yet feels sooo unfulfilled/unsatisfied, and hates women for not being perfect...SMH

He has an even more serious problem but it's not what you think. These are classic signs of sociopathy

kikero:
The problem with Nigeria is that we think the resources are 'enough' which is why even splitting up the country won't change anything...plus there is the risk of fighting breaking out for control of any resources.

If we split obviously, the question of resource dependency becomes far removed from the majority of regions except South-South. Underlying this is my notion that the split should form at least four new countries.

The North will have to go back to their agriculture or creating a new mining industry. There is a wealth of mineral resources in the north that have been ingored.
The South-West will focus on service-based industrialization alongside conventional industrialization which is already happening
The South-East will do the same with a reverse focus on conventional industrialization and subsidiary focus on service-based industries
South-South will be the only resource-dependent nation.

kikero:
Not exactly

1.Malaysia and Indonesia are not exactly idylls of unity. Malaysia has divisions. Indonesia has divisions including a separatist movement in Aceh that ended only when the 2004 tsunami wiped out most of the rebel side.

Both countries also have tribalist issues. eg massive discrimination against their chinese populations.

2.India is also 'better' somewhat...and it has separatist movements, issues between Hindus and Muslims and a host of other issues.

The main difference is 'is the country dependent on manufacturing vs dependency on resources.'. The more dependent on manufacturing a country is, the more likely it is to be 'better'...because for the manufacturing to work, things must work.

Ya, I am saying, when you bring together disunited people plus abundant resources (leading to resource dependency), what do you think will happen?

The natural tendency to scramble for resources along partisan lines will be heightened. Not so?

Emiratis are resource-dependent with no problems for example. So resource dependency is not the only issue.

kikero:
Not the guy you quoted, but most former colonies have mixed results.

Many African countries who were like Nigeria amalgamated are just as bad as Nigeria, and some are even worse. South Africa and Botswana appear to be doing well, most of the others appear to be doing badly.

Asian countries? Some like Malaysia and Indonesia are doing well, some like Burma and Laos are relatively poor.

The major difference appears to be

1.Some countries made the decision to go industrial a bit eg Indonesia, Malaysia, etc.

2.Some countries had bad dictators (Indonesia's Suharto is a notable example) who looted and then invested the loot back into their country.

3.The countries that are doing badly are heavily resource dependent...and heavily import dependent.

do you see the connection between bringing disuntied people together to tussle over resources and lack of development?

Kekereekun123:
it is not the fault of the world powers that we africans have little sense. Even in my tribe yoruba. There were many inter tribal wars among the aworis, egba, oyo etc. So we should have 10000 countries in Africa or wetin. South sudan they fred. See as them don continue fuckery. Abeg abeg

What is wrong with having 10000 countries in Africa? If that is what works for we Africans who have always untied along our tribal lines, what makes it wrong to do so?

And in any case, the truth is that if we separate ourselves today, we will only go on to form stronger alliances with those we truly identify with. Ambazonia with Cross River and Awka Ibom, Yorubas with Togo and Benin, North East and West with Chad and Niger, and the same process all over Africa.

Kekereekun123:
uae, Malaysia to name a few

UAE was not amalgamated by any colonial power. The emirates came together to form a mutually beneficial union along their century-old shared history. What commonality does this have with the forced amalgamation of Nigeria??

Malaysia originated out of shared history of smaller Malayan states, out of their own free will, and under their own design. And even at that still had Singapore split off. So what is your example there?

Now do you want to look at the results of forced amalgamation all over Africa and the world?

Sudan-South Sudan
Cameroun - Ambazonia
Ethiopia - Eritrea
The entire former Soviet Union
China - hong Kong
China - Taiwan

The overwhelming evidence is that amalgamation of peoples who do not agree or share common history leads conflict and lack of progress.

In West Africa alone, out of 16 nations we had had civil war in

Nigeria
Ivory Coast
Sierra Leone
Liberia
Senegal
Guinea Bissau
Mali

Everywhere there is war in Africa today, there is the undertone of tribal and ethnic sentiments.

Kekereekun123:
We are not the only country joined together. Others are progressing and moving on well. We are here still weeping

Like which ones and which ones?

I await your enlightened response.

Amotolongbo:
Is it only me finding what the SGF, Boss Mustapha, saying incoherent and blabbering like a year old baby?

How did we end up having these acerebral leaders?

Well, their head Buhari is a breathing Mannequin anyway

Which part of his statement is really incoherent?

AngryIgboMan:
So suddenly, Anioma people are now Igbos again?

So suddenly, Igbos have grown beyond Onitsha again and into the so called South South?

You see why I tell my Igbo brethren that Ikwerre people are useless to us?

Because most times, they commit crimes in there region and are termed Igbos too.

This was how Nzeogwu started a coup and it was termed an Igbo coup.

A delta man that spent most parts of his life in the North and even answers Kaduna as a name suddenly became a pure Igbo man. Because of his actions, 3 million Igbo souls were wasted.

I will ask again; NDIGBO, IS IT NOT HIGH TIME WE STOP PLAYING BIG BROTHER TO THESE SOUTHERN DEVILISH MINORITIES SO THAT THE ENEMY WITHIN CAN FINISH THEM UP?

You are ignorant of history or perhaps just a dishonest man.

Don't use limited bedspace as an excuse...simply say ur managing resources (test kit) to create avenue for covid donations embezzlement for yaselves..We truly understand

They didn't. The article clearly says no reasons was given. But the journalist went ahead to reference some prior event for some reason.

Latashia:
I just hate guys like this.

Don't start what you cant complete.

And many guys hate girls like you. Who cares who you hate?

Staphylococcus:
Fact!

Chinese detest Africans right from their birth

The pandemic just exposing it.

When it comes to racism, China takes the Number 2 spots after Arabs.

You are right in general. Arabs are the most racist set of people I have ever come across. But Chinese and Indians are very very close.

2. Trump cut CDC 2020 funding by 16%

Did Trump try to cut the CDC's budget as Democrats claim?: ANALYSIS - ABC News

3. While the virus was spreading around the world, Trump was praising China and claiming china will contain it while he did mostly nothing.

4. Trump dismissed the virus as a democratic hoax, and claims without any scientific basis that the virus will disappear in the warm weather of April

https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/apr/14/trump-coronavirus-alerts-disinformation-timeline&ved=2ahUKEwiK-OHB46npAhVLzoUKHRt2CIsQFjAAegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw0yg1FpmPGu6QZo1GnqEzsh&ampcf=1

5. Early on, Trump claimed to have the virus under "total control"

6. Trump promotes a dangerous and unproven treatment with hydroxychloroquine when even his experts say it's ineffective and dangerous. At least one man died and several were hospitalized from it. Trump later abandoned this position.

7. Trump announces the china flight ban in January, but allowed 40,000 Americans from China to return back to the US. None were tested for the virus.

8. Trump largely went campaigning in February and did nothing throughout this period to stop the virus. He also went golfing. A whole month was lost while the pandemic was spreading across the US.

9. Trump did not use the WHO test kits in use by the rest of the world and sought to create theirs, which were initially faulty and not enough, which led to poor test response while Singapore, Germany and South Korea were conducting mass testing and tracing.

https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy-and-politics/2020/3/14/21177509/coronavirus-trump-covid-19-pandemic-response


20. Trump claims he won't assist governors who refuse to shower him with praise, this caused a poorly coordinated response between the states and fed. Trump made his ego more of a priority than people's lives.

https://theintercept.com/2020/03/28/exchange-aid-trump-wants-praise-governors-can-use-campaign-ads/&ved=2ahUKEwjtwP7g5qnpAhVKJBoKHTXDC7EQFjAAegQIBhAC&usg=AOvVaw3Y-B1dsY6_h_YrRLSCiVhU

21. Trump encouraged armed protestors to insist on reopening even when the conditions given by Trump's team were not met. This led to people dangerously massing without distancing and masks, and challenging state authorities, ot also nearly led to an armed showdown. Some of the states who prioritized economy over safety are already seeing spikes in new infections.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/17/us/politics/trump-coronavirus-governors.amp.html&ved=2ahUKEwil_sq856npAhVkyoUKHdO4C9IQFjACegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw15wGc9fFa3NfS8L0wy7HcF&ampcf=1

22. Trump never seriously empathized with the families of the dead, instead he's busy campaigning for his reelection.

23. Trump cuts funding for the WHO at a time the world needs a global coordinating body to fight the pandemic, especially since Trump largely abdicated the US's traditional leadership role. Yes the WHO made mistakes believing China and praising its efforts, but Trump did same (see 3 above), and without a global coordinated response no country is really safe even if it wipes off its own epidemic. The global race for a vaccine would best be coordinated through a global health body.

24. Trump carelessly ponders the use of UV light and dangerous, poisonous substances to treat the virus.

These are some of the many actions and inactions of Trump that led to the highest number of deaths and infections even when the US, through its vast intelligence networks, knew a global health threat was running loose in China. If you watch the nightly Trump press meeting it's largely about how Trump's not getting credit for "saving millions of lives" and the press attacks on him.

So if these don't qualify as Trump's inadequacy, i don't have anything further to say to you.

Lol.
I've said I'm open to being convinced and you still had to close with a snarky remark. Na wa o.

WaffenSS:
1.3 million infected and 80,000 dead Americans is an opinion?

Are you losing your train of thought? You said trump's behavior has been dangerous and inadequate. This is an opinion. If you mean to argue that his behavior is responsible for the crisis, you are yet to advance any argument in that direction. As I said, I'm open to being convinced.

WaffenSS:
Trump's behavior has been inadequate and frankly dangerous.

That's an opinion. I'm open to being convinced..

ModestGal:
Why are you answering him. Don't you know that jealousy make them talk that way. Even my stupid classmates would say I'm not brilliant, I'm just good at reading thats why I was the best graduating student. I was the youngest person in my class and also I did another 4years course alongside my bsc degree which I also graduated as one of the best. Some peoples brain is just too dull to understand what they are saying.
I regret ever being in my department with fools, non of them is actually more than average except one girl like that.
I wish I had the opportunity of being among good brains, and smart people. I can't even be friends with any of them since they think backward and those that are okay are full of jealousy or extremely extroverted, so I just packed well as I'm an introvert

If someone think I have empty brain after coming first, out of more than 1000students, and even being the youngest of them all, then that person must be out of his senses

But you are making a self-defeating argument here. According to you, none of them is above average, so how does being above those who are not above average make you special?

WaffenSS:
Wrong comparison

Trump's been carelessly asking states to reopen even as infections are increasing because politics

The comparison is not based on policy but on behavior.

Kurtis02:
Wedded



Wike means business.. He's really keen on protecting his people but this border gate won't work because there are other ways to enter the state without using this route.

One down others to follow

helinues:
Pogba and Jorgino for one of the EPL accurate ball passer?

Even before I can pick Van Dijk, I will first go for Alexander of Liverpool..

If it is0 simple accuracy obviously the list is going to be full of centre backs who make 5 or 10 yard players.


When talking about players who play difficult passes and pull them off with high accuracy these players I mentioned are among the best including Arnold. Not the likes of Kante who okays one long pass every two games.

helinues:
Did you read what you quote right?

I can't see what seems to be your confusion

helinues:
Average still fair.

In EPL, these are the players are always respect when it comes to passes delivery.

Kevin Debrune
Matic
Fernandinho
Maguire
May be Kante sha

No Pogba no Jorginho no Van Dijk you are mentioning Fernandinho and Kante

hardeycute:
Backpasses you mean? I guess you don't watch him play because that's one of his game deficiencies. Nigga can't give a forward pass to save his life.

That's not true. He is known as being the fulcrum of Leicester's counter attacking system. Them dey pass back for counter?

Obviously Osimhen. Ndidi not far behind... Chukwueze is not quite performing at the same level.

Paperwhite:
NPF and NSCDC versus Nigerian Army.Waiting for army response.Fingers crossed.

Try to read.

SultanOfAbia:
The Bible says obey your father and mother so ye shall live long.

What if you're father is telling you to do something you know is very wrong
Will you obey him or disobey him?

What if your mother supports your father in every negative thing he tells you to do?

Some parents are not wise and are easily manipulated by pastors and imams.

I think you should only Respect your parents if they are WISE

I don't think the Bible says "obey" your parents. It says "honour". There is no issue to discuss here.

senatordave1:
Am not sure you will say same if its buhari

Lol... And why would I not?

Sound.

I see a serious leader who means business. And for those who do not know, when the state is in a state of emergency, the powers of the executive are broadened to enable such harsh behavior and more.

To have the governor on the streets patrolling by himself means he really cares.

Gandollar:
All na wash!

They turned him down to deter other states from doing same, but they will support him from backdoor. They might even use a private donor to do it.

Buhari is nothing without kano. He will dance to their tune somehow.

He has no need to. He has used them already with no further election for him.

UjuJoan2:
