Those designing, producing and shipping these sex dolls and especially the child sex dolls are the lucifer and its agent the Bible talked about
Am a Christian.

I think that if the dolls stop pedophiles from preying on children, then its a good thing.

Once listened to a report where they interviewed a peso who uses the dolls. Man said that what makes him happy is not the dolls, but the fact that he is not attacking children.

Still, only Jesus can truly set free.

Good news

There is a rise in agricultural and raw material exports. Hopefully it continues.

However, we still need to fix power so that we cab start talking about a rise in industrial exports. And at the end of the day, we are still too reliant on that drug called oil

It is really very funny to see atheists come and spoof both the Christian and Muslim threads with mockery.

To the atheists, we know you don't believe in god or gods.We know. But mocking people for their beliefs in a god or god after a while gets stale. And frankly speaking makes you guys line k insensitive and trollish, and makes atheism look like it is for the proud and not for genuine seekers of truth.

Besides, you don't convince anyone with mockery..

And why should you care about something that does not exist?

And sorry, but random internet posts don't free anybody.

Calm down

And the same goes for Christians who troll Muslim threads as well as Muslims who troll Christian threads. Seriously all of you, get a life.

and no body noticed the name of the seller on the reciept:

NIGERIAN SEWING MACHINE MANUFACTURING CO.



where are all these companies now? no where to be found!

Buhari killed all these companies with recession and hyperinflation when he came to power in 1983!


NIGERIAN TEXTILE COMPANIES

PEUGEOT AUTOMOBILE NIGERIA

VOLKSWAGEN MANUFACTURING NIGERIA

ANAMBRA MOTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY NIGERIA (ANAMCO)

NITECO NIGERIA

OKIN BISCUIT MANUFATURING NIGERIA

MICHELLIN TYRES NIGERIA

AP OIL NIGERIA

LEYLAND NIGERIA

ASCON NIGERIA

AND MANY MORE! ALL KILLED AND BURRIED BY BUHARI-DEAD ECONOMY IN 1983!


God dey!
1.Our economy was already in free fall by December 83/when Bubu took over, and yes, he committed treason by doing so.


2..Most Nigerian textile companies were.still working under Buhari and beyond.It was in the 1990s that many of them died due to globalization, and cheap imports.

3.PAN, VoN, ANNAMCO, were still working as at 1990, Leyland and Steyr had collapsed.
Bubu even kept the car industry running via import substitution..

Failure to complete Ajaokuta, plus rising import costs, and so on killed the car industry

4.Michelin did not close until the 1990s. It was still healthy under Buhari

5.Okin biscuits was very healthy right up to the end of the 1990s. I know because growing up my family was close to.someone who did wholesale of the biscuits for the company.. Even after 2000, okin was still there..

6.AP is still there. AP came thorough Bubu reign intact.It still exists as Forte Oil.


Don't know about NITECO or ASCoN.

Stop lying. I thought APC had the monopoly on lies

I'M PRESENTLY AN ADMISSION SEEKER AND I WAS ADVISED TO WITHDRAW LAST YEAR AFTER JUST A YEAR ON CAMPUS.

I read but still failed. So I regret READING! In retrospect, reading now feels like profligacy to me. I read too much and it was rather counterproductive.
One of my uncles got admitted to university, read and still failed to the point that he withdrew after the first year.

He had to try again, got admission to a different course...which he graduated in, and which has enabled him to work for many big companies, and earn a decent, and sometimes big cash. Had he stayed in the original course, I doubt he would have had such opportunities that he has now.

Sometimes the course is not meant to be. Consider this an opportunity for a bigger course...and don't regret reading.The lessons you learn from your failures, even the meaningless ones can be turned into stepping stones for your future sucess.

Au contraire, I regret not having lots of sexx

I wish I had fùcked more handsome boys en masse and perhaps girls too, to fully explore my sex life.

Andrewkinggg:
LoL yet he built a university of his own. Jonathan built several amaljiri schools, over 12 federal universities why do they still have more out of school kids?
Buhari polling unit is a school, did you see the gory state that school was? If you want to see influence of a wealthy man is either the school or road leading to his home. Buhari has never built a single education insitutioon in his entire life. Buhari is largely to be blame in his people being illiterate.
1.First, it is not Buhari's job to see that that school is fixed...it is the job of the Daura LGA, and the LGEA. If they cannot do their jobs, why should Buhari do their jobs for them?

After you people will be demanding true federalisim.

2.Jonathan rehabilitated exisiting facilities,and integrated the exisitng almajiri system with the exisiting secular strucutre on gorund (and it was a good idea too...don't think I am bashing it). But 400 schools is not enough to do the job. We need something like 10000 new schools)(my estimate o!)...with good teachers. We don't have enough cash for that. (Our education budget is less than N1 trillion. Universites need N1 trillion in extra funding over 5 years...and that is a comedown from 3trillion over 5 years)
PoliticsRe: How Buhari Celebrates His Re-election And How The Poor Celebrates Him (photos) by theoldpretender(m): 8:57am On Mar 02, 2019
I see a lot of people grumbling about illitereate northerners, and how they are impaired for voting in Buhari...

Well...

1.The reason why Northerners vote for Buhari is because at least 15 years before Bubu became president, the guy was already 'growing his brand' among the Northerner voter so to speak. As early as 1999,I can recall seeing Buhari stickers in the markets, on public transport ,etc. That's free advertising. And the man was not running for president, and had even not indicated interest in the thing.(And PTF did not impact the lives of most Northerners...except for some roads. Maybe some hospital equipment).

2.Buhari also supported Sharia , which made him a hero. One reason why many of those Northernes support Sharia...I said one reason,out of many...is that the secular court system has not been doing a good job (Same in the South...but we don't have Sharia...so we grin and bear it). Bad court systems make people support alternatives....and Sharia was seen as the right alternative(even though it meant further entrenchment of discrimination against Christians).

And we Southerners too support alternatives like beating up suspected criminals to death...and not allowing them due process because...the court system is corrupt.The court will free them....anyway.

3.Southerners are not very serious with eelctions. The truth is...if turnout in the South...especially in the SE, and the SS and even SW had been 90%....we would have been talking of runoff election, or even a narrow Atiku win. How can a state like Ebonyi have voter turnout of less than one third of voters. ? Meanwhile...Kano and Kaduna had high voter turnouts. The Northerner takes democracy serious. They will queue in hot sun for hours to vote. Southerners meanwhile play. (And let's not even talk about the violence that Southern polticians play that chases away voters from voting...see Rivers and Lagos.).

4.Apart from politicans like Obasanjo....how many Southern polticians...who are serious about winning elections...reach out to the North?. See Obasanjo. How many times have you heard Obasanjo call Northerners illiterate, backward, foolish, etc. Even when they did not vote for him in 2003...did he insult them? That is why today, Obasanjo has his boys andgirls...his die hard loyalists...across the length and breadth of this country...and it was that base that Yaradua and Jonathan used to win elections.

In the last 4 years....especially from loudmouths like Fani-Kayode and some SE polticians ,I have seen insults and abuse being given to Northerners, especially since GEJ lost. (and part of the reason GEJ lost was because people in his entourage hated Hausas and Fulanis virulently)....and all of a sudden when it is voting time, you expect those people to vote for you? If our PDP pols had been as nice as Obasanjo who knew how to grease palms, and soothe sore nerves, and was not a bigot......I bet you Atiku would have won this election. (APC too has those kind of bigots...poeple who hate SE and SS indigenes...but hey...APC can afford some bigotry. PDP cannot.)

So, here is the thing. If we want Hausas to vote for us enmasse....better act like you are in their interest. Buhari will retire finally come 2023.That leaves a big ripe fruit of Hausa and Fulanis ripe for plucking...only this is a special fruit that choses who it wants to pluck it. And the only way the South can start winning is by dropping the hate,and getting the North back. Who knows it might lead to a lot of beneficial things like Biafra, or even Southerners winning the election back to back.for a long time.


Oh AND ONE MORE THING

Having a Southern President does not guarantee development. GEJ ran this country for six years...and left it broke. One of his big mistakes is privatising power...and then not allowing DISCOS and GENCOS to set the power bills. As a result, investors are not coming in, and power is at an all time low. If GEJ had deregulated power...for sure we would have been paying bills of up to N50000 per month...but investors would have come in and by now,power would be on for longer....AND....we would be going industrial. (APC too is making the same mistake...which is one of the reasons why I would never vote for them, as much as I don't like the PDP too).

George Bush Father and Son became American president while another son was Governor of Florida
George Bush son first ran for Congress (the US equivalent of our National Assembly) in the late 1970's. And...he lost, despite his father having been a Republican rep in congress, as well as later on the Head of the CIA, and soon to be Vice President in 1980.

George Bush son then ran for Governor of Texas...and he defeated the incumbent. Interestingly in the same year, his father lost to Bill Clinton.

Jeb Bush...by the time he ran for Governor of Florida...his daddy had been out of office for ages. And probably was in no position to influence anything for his sons.

Plus...Bush jr and Jeb both had to perform. Nothing like 'Ma daddy was President of the USA.' Like...who cares?
