Can he ever claim to be in mourning?
When did his brother pass away?
Does he miss his brother's passing?

I don't think so.

Some couple of hours ago I saw an update on My Facebook news feed about an
observation that all gtbanks across the federations do not have gate unlike other
banks.

I almost begged to disagree, but after ruminating and brooding over all the 5
GTBANKS I know within my location here in my city where I live, I realized that
the FB poster is right going by my own observation with all the bank branches
I know in my location.

Here is the drill!

Is it also true that all GTBANKS in all the branches in your location do not have gate?

If yes or no, what could be responsible.

Lets hear from you

GTB Umuahia has 2 gates.

I hear you. I guess you failed to read the portion where it was stated that up to 50% of the global population display asymptomatic infection?

Thank you for your kind words sir.

In terms of US policy since the July 1944 when Bretton Woods was formed, US foreign policy has changed a fair bit: when the IMF/World Bank were formed, the Roosevelt administration through the US Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morgenthau, forced the US$ through as the world reserve currency due to being the only country (out of the UK, France, German etc.) which was running a current account surplus (more exports than imports), and this made them replace the UK as the pre-eminent global powerhouse which they are arguably remain, even up to the present day. The dollar and other western currencies (£ etc.) at the time were then pegged to the gold standard, because money as we know it is what is known as 'fiat currency' and is intrinsically worthless (only has value due to the laws of the land).

In 1971 the gold standard was abandoned due to it being a failure, and the US currency was freely-floated so to allow it be dictated by market forces (Supply and demand). This precipitated the 1973 crisis which forced the likes of the US and UK to expand their money supplies in order to increase their reserves, which was tantamount to a devaluation.

Pursuant to the above, the US changed its foreign policy in a number of ways such as changing the composition of NATO, seeking alternative renewable energy (including partnerships with countries), sponsoring wahabism in Saudi Arabia etc. Furthermore, the likes of the UK who traditionally supported Israel in military terms, distanced themselves from Israel so as to repair relations with the Arab nations.

The above are just some of the examples in the way in which the US has changed its foreign policy in order to adapt to exogenous/uncontrollable occurrences globally. The reason why the US sponsored wahabism is because they feared that Saudi Arabia and the other Arab nations would become a military powerhouse and pose a strong threat to the US like Russia did. Even from the late 1940s, the US had been engaged in dialogue with the UK regarding its then colony, British Nigeria, which they anticipated would soon receive independence, and the consequence of this was Nigeria's potential to become a potential military threat like Russia, due to Nigeria's unabated population growth and substantial uranium endowment (same resources the US used to bomb Japan during WWII).

Many places globally have been affected by US foreign policy to curtail their power/clip their wings such as Iran, Saudi, Nigeria, the entire Maghreb/North African Arab region, Somalia etc. What do these countries have in common? They're either very Islamically conservative, or partially in the case of Northern Nigeria. This is no coincidence, but is the result of US/Western foreign policy.

Forgive the plenty details above, but the reason I shared them was to buttress my assertion: the US alter foreign policy at will, as can be seen when they stopped purchasing oil from us under the GEJ administration and started to refine their own unhealthy crude oil (shale). The reason I chose those words "retribution/retaliation etc" is because Nigeria's participation in the 1973 events was what the US considered 'subversive' actions (part of "hegemonic stability theory" which is that all developing countries should be subordinate to the US, feel free to look into it) and they took offence to Nigeria and the Arab States beating them at their 'own' game.

In other words, the US, knowing that they were at the epicentre of creating the Bretton Woods institutions, were astounded that developing countries could force them to devalue their currency. By forcing Nigeria to devalue their's in 1986, the significance was that this affected the economy in terms of inflation, delayed foreign direct/portfolio investment (especially under incompetent military rule), and only exacerbated pre-existing economic issues.

The US stands to gain nothing from Nigeria being economically buoyant and socially functional as it is considered a threat to their eminent position. Sure, they'll say all of the right and encouraging things, but when all is said and done, in stealth they do not want Nigerian progress.

Annullment of the 1993 elections were partly down to MKO nearly negotiating reparations for slavery and colonial exploits, Murtala Muhammad's death was not carried out by the lone wolf Dimka as people have been led to believe, Ken Saro Wiwa was executed due to Shell's vested interests, and there are many more examples I can list, but it is clear that US foreign policy was ever-present in all of the above events and many others.

It would be a mistake to underestimate US foreign policy.

In closing, there is a mountain of academic journals and de-classified government papers that will substantiate some, if not all of the above content.

Very expository piece you wrote.

By extension, I guess it'd be safe to infer that the US would have wanted Buhari to win the election and not Jonathan right?

A vast majority of us are extremely lazy to read or research.

Please modify your topic to read:

Lol. They even hash-tagged it #Bailisfree.

In which division?

Can even the IG swear by Amadioha that he never charged for a bail in his career before?

No wahala. I'll keep that in mind.

It depends. This advice should be strictly for an undefined relationship. For instance, one can't get in a relationship on the premise of marriage, and then the next moment he/she wants out just like that. What happen to the initial understanding/agreement?

You know that's betrayal, and such is a wrong doing.

Oh! Is that why they sometimes come up with that question: "What are we?"

I do not intend to sound discriminatory, but I find it awkward and ironical to see a physically challenged wearing a shirt that says "#IstandwithAndyUba", SITTING in a wheelchair being pushed by the same Andy Uba.

I mean how mind-twisting can that be?

what's HIV strain?

HIV is divided into two main types: HIV-1 and HIV-2
Which are further divided into different subtypes.

What's the meaning of this test result in a layman's language?

In plain simple terms, negative for Hepatitis B, negative for the HIV as at said date. The result didn't indicate the HIV strain.

Tagged the ‘Gran turismo‘ of the seas, and a distant cousin of the Benz S class, the Mercedes Silver Arrow Yacht was built to drop jaws of Mercedes-Benz lovers and critics alike.

For N930 million (£2 million), you get a 900bhp, twin diesel engines, 880 horse power, and the smoothest and noiseless cruise you’ve never imagined.

At the end of the day, that's the equivalent of just 4 weeks of L. Messi's salary. True or false?
