PoliticsMajority Of Nigerians Have A Mental Problem by supercase1(op): 9:10am On May 22, 2020
90% of Nigerians have a mental disorder,ranging from all sorts of issues like superstition,bigotry,hate, hypocrisy,and dumbness.i think the practice of democracy in Nigeria should be reversed because the mental balance of Nigerians are at stake.in Nigeria we see atrocities and corruption perpetrated by APC government and we see Nigerians including the well learned ones we ought to look up to defend these activities and corrupt tendencies with their whole mind.we see mass corruption pepertrated in PDP led states, journalists arrested without trials,even recently a pastor was flogged in ebonyi state which is a PDP state for just critisicm of a local government chairman for an abusive act he did.and he receiving flogging.yet you see people come out to justify this acts.we saw recently a governor in one of the opposition states brazenly demolish a hotel and cooked up fake lies to justify his act yet people supported him.infact those supporting the ruling party and the opposition members are all insane and confused.nigerians can't be trusted with democracy powers.i think we should go back to colonial rule,I just pray someday God will bless my Hussle and I will proudly be a Canadian citizen.from there I will watch Nigerians continue to degenerate.am so ashamed of been a Nigerian it's so painful.

RiyadhGoddess:
Uhmmmm
Money ritual is 100% real just the same way other satanic blood rituals are real. There are different types of money rituals but not all requires human parts so it all depends on the type you are going for. Some requires the person to eat just a number of boiled local eggs mixed in Aseje (concoctions) and taken with some shots of schnapps, some are just cooked snail or chicken Aseje (concoctions) so it all buttresses down to the level and what you want which will be spelt out to you on consultation.

Sometimes, The priest usually check what's suitable for your destiny and then tell you what it requires and there are some occult priest that demands human blood or parts outrightly. So it depend on where you go.
These human parts are being pounded and sometimes mixed with black soaps for the person seeking wealth to bath with , sometimes it pounded and mixed with creams, even cooked with concoction to be eaten during the ritual.
Now saying how come those selling the body parts can't do the money ritual themselves is like asking how come the native doctors, herbalist, priest don't collect blood money instead they will charge you and collect all the money before proceeding to work (pay before service) because erm how do I explain this in English now, Awo oki na owo eje, Ewo Ni (a priest doesn't spend blood money, it's abomination). So selling human part and not doing the ritual themselves is individual choice just like saying you are selling motor spare parts and you don't have a car of your own or someone is a hire killer but doesn't want his loved ones killed. Or those selling soap to make you rich on the road yet they are not rich. It's an individual thing, if they want to be rich, they know where to go for rituals. There are people whose career is spiritual materials. They trade in spiritual materials and these spiritualist goes there to buy same thing with body parts. There are people who deals on them. Nigeria is learning, go to Togo, it's an open market.
Now these things have spiritual implications, serious consequences. I would have said more but my fingers are hurting badly. Op as an Ex omo Awo, I can boastfully tell you that the supernatural is REAL take it to the bank.

PoliticsNigerians Are Destined To Suffer by supercase1(op): 6:28pm On May 21, 2020
The people that make up the country called Nigeria are the most hypocritical and foolish people on earth.in Nigeria despite it rich resources and potential the country is locked in a perpetual state of under development.to make matter worst the people of Nigeria had been so bullied, oppressed,and scammed to the extent that they don't know they are suffering.infact they are used to lamenting suffering and smiling.if you try to draw the shortcomings of government and their ineffectiveness they will quickly forget their current predicament and come together as a united foe and attack the person who tries to draw their attention to where the government had failed.they will immediately call you Igbo,ipob, biafra and remind you of your party either pdp or apc even those that are so against biafrans from the northern part of the country are those suffering the most.anybody who tries to lead a new movement to librate Nigerians is just wasting his time because Nigerians are used to and destined for suffering and not worth sacrificing for.

The Dad statement was embarrassing even in America and other developed world, their is no cure for COVID-19, every country is on trial and error. This pills works today we communicate each other and use it, tomorrow another pill did better they communicate and try it.

For example China used high dose of Chloroquine on the Covid patients and Brazil tried it, in Brazil it caused cardiac arrest and they have to discontinue it.
Some part of USA used Chloroquine while some avoided, a house member in USA came out openly to say Chloroquine cured her, while Schumer of New York is against the use.

Some countries used combination of pneumonia drug and malaria drug for the cure.

Raymond Dokpesi Snr made a provoking and senseless statement, an elder statesman like him with international reputation has gone beyond such statements.

His son stand is what is needed from a genuine son, he (Dokpesi Snr) did this and got away with it because we are in Nigeria. a careless statement from Tesla owner made him lose billions of dollars.

Foreign AffairsSouth Africa President Ramaphosa Poses With Women Ignores Social Distancing Rule by supercase1(op): 7:33pm On May 18, 2020
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has been criticised for posing for photos with strangers despite telling people to keep their distance to reduce the spread of coronavirus.

A video shows Mr Ramaphosa joking about breaking social distancing rules after two women asked him for the photo.

He is heard saying "come, before we get arrested", prompting laughter.

On Sunday the country reported 1,160 new coronavirus infections - the highest daily numbers yet.

South Africa has had some of the strictest lockdown measures in the world, including a ban on cigarettes and alcohol, but is now easing some restrictions.

The country has the highest number of cases of Covid-19 in Africa - 15,515, with 264 deaths. However, Egypt and Algeria have had more fatalities, with more than 500 each.
The video was posted on Twitter on Sunday by journalist Nwabisa Makunga who said the incident happened outside her window.

It appears Mr Ramaphosa, known for his love of outdoor exercise, was going for a walk or a jog when the women approached him.

Although they do not shake hands, but bump elbows, the two women then posed for a photo standing right next to the president, disregarding official advice to keep at least two metres away from people from different households.

An article reproduced on a government website about social distancing explains that "one needs to avoid handshakes, hugs and other forms of direct contact as well as keeping a distance of at least two metres from others".

After joking about being arrested, Mr Ramaphosa says: "I'd rather be arrested with you."

South Africa's security forces have been accused of brutality while enforcing the lockdown restrictions.

Foreign AffairsHow A Transgender(broriskytype) Is Finding It Difficult In Panama Lockdown by supercase1(op): 8:54am On May 18, 2020
Lockdown in Panama is strictly enforced, with men allowed out one day and women the next. But this has been used by some as an excuse to harass members of the trans community.

Monica is an excellent cook. Like a lot of people, during the coronavirus lockdown she has been making elaborate meals to distract herself during the long hours spent inside.

One Wednesday last month, Monica fancied making some marinated chicken in a rich spicy tomato sauce with rice. She had most of the ingredients already, but needed the chicken. So she left the small detached house near Panama City airport that she shares with her extended family to go to the local corner shop.

She passed groups of women on her way, some of them linking arms with their children. It was quieter than usual in the neighbourhood, as the government had just introduced a new measure to curb the spread of coronavirus, allowing women to leave their homes to buy necessities on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and men on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. On Sundays, everyone has to stay at home.

Monica walked into the shop. She knew the Chinese family who ran it well. They adored her. But as she entered, the atmosphere changed. The owner approached her silently, his face not breaking into the smile she was used to seeing.

"We can't serve you, Monica," he said. "The police said we can only serve women today. They said, 'No maricon.'"

The transphobic term made Monica shudder, but at the same time, it wasn't a complete surprise. The police in her neighbourhood had targeted her before for being a trans woman.

Monica started going to school dressed as a girl from the age of 12. She had never felt like a boy, and now she wanted to be open about her identity.

Coming out as a girl wouldn't have an impact on her home life - it was hard enough already.

"My father was a macho man," Monica says. "He needed no excuse to beat me, my two sisters or our mother."

A SIMPLE GUIDE: How do I protect myself?
AVOIDING CONTACT: The rules on self-isolation and exercise
LOOK-UP TOOL: Check cases in your area
MAPS AND CHARTS: Visual guide to the outbreak
STRESS: How to look after your mental health
Monica gradually began feminising her hair, and wearing closer-fitting clothing. At school she was mocked for her feminine appearance, so she kept to herself. At least she had the friendship of her sisters and the warmth of her mother's love.

Then, when she was 14, her father died unexpectedly and the family lost their only source of income.

Monica felt she had to support the family. She'd heard that there was an appetite in Panama City for transgender sex workers, and that the money was good.

Monica, still a child, decided that would be the best way to provide for her family.

At the corner shop, the apologetic owner explained to Monica that it was not his wish to ask her to leave at all. It had come directly from the police.

While sex work is legal in Panama, that doesn't mean it comes without stigma, and Monica says the neighbourhood police have taunted her for years, driving past on their motorbikes shouting homophobic and transphobic words as she goes out to work. At 38, she has now been putting up with this for 24 years.

"Many trans people work as sex workers here in the city," Monica says. "Is it our first option? No, but it's regular and it means I can look after my family."

Since the lockdown began, though, work has come to a halt, and money is increasingly tight.

Eight family members share the home. Her two sisters have children, four between them. They're both single, one recently having left an abusive relationship, and aren't working. Neither is Monica's mother.

Arriving home from the shop, Monica's phone buzzed with a WhatsApp message. It was the shopkeeper. He said he felt bad he had sent her home empty-handed, and not to worry about sending her sisters out to fetch the chicken, he'd bring it over himself.

Monica smiled. There was kindness in her community and that would help during the lockdown. But she didn't want to rely on handouts during the pandemic. She wanted to keep looking after her family.

She made a decision to go out the following day - men's day, the day of her biological sex.

But this time her experience was even worse.

She decided to go to a larger supermarket and get all the supplies they would need for a couple of weeks.

When she arrived she joined the queue to get in, but it was worryingly long. Under the rules of Panama's lockdown each person is allowed out three days per week, but even on those days they can only leave the house for two hours at a time, depending on their postcode.

Monica waited in the queue of men, who smirked as they saw her.

Time was ticking down. Then the two hours were up.

Almost at that very moment, six police officers approached Monica, singling her out in the long queue.

"They told me that I was now outside my time limit for going to the shops," she says. "They began to do a body search on me. One of them squeezed my breasts in the search and said, laughing, 'You're not a woman,' and repeated a transphobic slur."

Everyone looked away and did nothing.

Monica had never felt more alone.

"The gendered days in Panama mean the trans community are damned if they do and damned if they don't," says Cristian González Cabrera of Human Rights Watch. "We have spoken to more cases like Monica's. It sadly isn't an isolated incident."

The Panamanian Association of Trans People says that since the gendered days have begun, more than 40 people have got in touch with them to say they have been harassed when going to supermarkets or buying medicine.

In early May, authorities in Colombia's capital Bogotá, decided to lift gender-based restrictions, after LGBT groups said the days discriminated against trans people.

Following an open letter by Human Rights Watch to the Panama presidency, citing mistreatment of trans people by Panama police, Panama's Ministry of Public Security released a statement this week saying that it had "instructed the security forces to avoid any type of discrimination against the LGBTI population" during lockdown.

"This is a welcome step that should be commended," says Cristian González Cabrera. However, he says it's unclear what "avoiding discrimination" means - and when exactly trans people are allowed out of the house.

"We are dealing with a historically marginalised population in the country and so the statement is not clear enough."

Monica isn't convinced she can trust the ministry's assurances. She went out to the bank after the statement was released - on a day that women were allowed to leave home - and a police officer approached her.

"I would go home if I were you," he told her. "I'm saying this out of love, but you are not supposed to be out today."

The BBC asked Panama's Ministry of Public Security to comment, but they didn't respond.

"I don't know what to do. When do I go out?" Monica asks. "I'm not trying to fool anyone. I just want to be able to take care of my family."

We have several Nigerians saying they have a cure but because we owe China and can't stop relying on the US and the IMF,world bank and their cohorts for grants, we refuse to try out these cures and therefore continually accept to shut down the economy which just gives is some leeway to survival as these idiots called leaders are still looting away our wealth without looking back.

Some people are profiting from these lock down and they don't care if we die.
The south and west should open their eyes. We have now seen that Lagos is key to our economic survival and they locked it down to slow our growth pace and put us at par with the North which never grows

Shut down our seaports that have massive water bodies and open up dry ports up North

Grounded our refineries and started blind oil prospecting up North

Now lock down our economy and slow our growth...

Trust me if states were working with their own COVID 19 protocols, the south, east and west would have moved on long ago while the north die with their dirt and wickedness.

They should stop drawing us back.

Sadly Lagos is our key in this fight but that frog eyed bastard called Tinubu and that short satanic goon called Oshiomole sold Lagos and the south to the north.

LeOstrich:
War is on the horizon courtesy of the same people that brought the world both WW1 and WW2.

The powers that be have decided it is about time for a major financial and socio-economic shift in the way the world is being organized and lead.

The Globalists have vowed to this end to destroy all National boundaries and governments.

The United States will be coaxed into a war with China but the US will lose this war not from the front lines but from their own territory.

After duping the US into war, the Zionists will instigate as much opposition back in the US with much help from their useful idiots in the leftist circles.

Other than facing series of riots and protests over the on going war with China, the US will be plagued by an extreme radical Communist terrorist organization that will successfully conduct series of highly level assassinations, sabotage acts and also wage a guerrilla war within the US against the Nationalist and US Federal government. The US has shown its ability to wage wars simultaneously across the globe but the government and military will be overwhelmed by the communist threat from within. The resultant outcome will be the balkanization of the US into smaller weaker independent states, with the majority democrat blue states siding with the New World Order and One World Government.

The Communists in the US will get as much help from China - military and hardware assistance- to pacify the Nationalist States to succumb to China.

But there will still be islands of resistance to the New World Order scattered across the globe who will still resist the Zionist-Communist Order. Nigeria and most of Africa won't be part of that resistance. Nigeria will be part of the NWO and will be governed under the incoming Zio-Communist Order by appointed Jewish and Chinese Commissars.

PetsMeet The Green Ananconda The World Largest Snake by supercase1(op): 10:14pm On May 16, 2020
Humanity first left the solar system in 2012 when the Voyager 1 probe passed into interstellar space decades after leaving the planets behind. Now, there’s a second spacecraft beyond the limits of our solar system: Voyager 2. Luckily, Voyager 2’s instruments are in somewhat better shape than Voyager 1’s, so scientists were able to observe the transition from the heliosphere, which is dominated by the sun, to the interstellar medium (ISM). 

Both Voyager probes launched in 1977, with Voyager 2 heading into space a few weeks before Voyager 1. The two probes are physically identical, but they took different paths through the solar system. They took advantage of the “Grand Tour,” an alignment of the planets that occurs only once every 175 years. Voyager 1 visited and got gravity assists from Jupiter and Saturn before heading off toward the edge of the solar system. Voyager 2 swung past Jupter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus. It made its last planetary observation of Uranus in 1989, almost a decade after Voyager 1 had started its long march toward the edge of the solar system.

When Voyager 1 reached the edge of our solar system, known as the heliopause, it no longer had a functional plasma spectrometer. As a result, there was some debate about when, exactly, the probe left our solar system. So, we missed the expected transition from warm solar plasma to the denser cold plasma of the ISM. Eventually, measurements of local electrons and magnetic field shifts confirmed it was in interstellar space. 

Voyager 2 has just sent back data proving that it has also crossed the heliopause, and it had a fully functional plasma spectrometer. The transition happened about a year ago in November 2018, and the changeover was roughly in-line with what scientists expected based on Voyager 1’s indirect readings. As Voyager 2 crossed from the heliosphere to the ISM, it detected a 20-fold increase in plasma density. 


The approximate positions of Voyager 1 and 2.

Voyager 1 and 2 crossed the heliopause at roughly the same distance from the sun, 121.6 AU and 119 AU, respectively. However, their exit points were about 150 AU apart. Scientists are studying the discrepancies in the data in hopes of gaining a better understanding of the boundary between our solar system and the wider galaxy. For example, Voyager 2 detected a continuous change in magnetic field directions as it crossed into the ISM, whereas Voyager 1 did not. Voyager 2 has also continued to see low-energy particles from the sun in the ISM, but Voyager 1 didn’t. 

It will be some time before we have more data to study. The only functional probe that has any hope of reaching the heliopause is New Horizons, which is currently flying through the Kuiper Belt. It could leave the solar system around 2040, but we don’t know if it will maintain communication with Earth that long.
