The same set of scammers who used numerous fake grants, numbering over 80 , to scam Nigerians, are at it again.
They call it IMF, Pioneer, CBN, or Govt slots. Please take heed and run. The whole thing is fake 100%
IMF, if you know what they do, don't share money. IMF is about the balance of payments for countries.
If the CBN were sharing money, it would be announced publicly, and registration wouldn't be through some clowns on Telegram and WhatsApp who do silly voice notes.
Use your head before these swindlers who have already fed fat using fake grants like APGPN, UAAG, THEOBARTH, SEM, PO5, GRASSROOTS, AFRCUNIA, HOPE PROJECT, and other scams, open another shop for your head
godwinngbede: they even removed and deleted all the people in the what's app group. Since that day, I knew it was fraud. Mine was 10,000 naira one yeye poor looking man collected from me.
If it's one useless AGPGN or UAAG or any of the other nonsense like CBN or pioneer slot that you are still waiting for, you go wait tire
Na AGPGN own funny me pass, government will use a bunch of I never chop disburse money. First dem say UAAG no get money say an scam, but all of a sudden government will use these hungry-looking clowns to disburse money but government never told you to register with any UAAG or AGPGN in the first place.
People are dead funny. The federal government didn't think it wise to tell you to register for one useless HOPE project in the first place. Now you are waiting for them to flag it off
Naija people and comedy and 5 and 6.
Anchor borrower, govt announce COVID funds, them announce, Grant of 50, 25k, them announce Many others, them announce
But Hope Project and the other useless ones like AGPGN, UAAG, PO5, THEOBARTH, govt forget to announce am
24kmagik: Nigerians never do AI but na them de make noise pass about Software Development.
Once a Nigerian just knows how to display "hello world" on the browser, we won't hear word again.
You see things like, Tech bro, React Expert, software developer, bla bla bla.
That Moat Academy go come here de disturb people about Software Development, mentioning names like Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, etc. The Moat teachers themselves never build anything weh pass Web App.
What have Nigerians built that the whole world is using?
Yet, Una go say na Una sabi something pass for Africa.
Nigerians are a typical case of empty vessels making the loudest....
Ironfaceman: Like which one. There are over 50 sanctions on Russia. Russia too is not alone its allies, China Iran, India, North Korea, Indonesia, they all lend support. So it pass sanction if you ask me.
You count North Korea as an ally? Anyway they provided cannon fodder Nd very dated soviet era weapons and ammunition that can sometimes lack even secondary school student level of quality control.
Irans supplies shahed but impact has been reduced since.
India gets cheap crude and and helps keep Russia afloat. Whatever else Russia benefits is definitely classified.
China hasn't given much material militarily to at least to the level to which you would expect from a country of that economic size. I know China is do some stuff underground, like intelligence, drone part, chips.
Now to sanctions that can still be applied:
1. Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegas were sanctioned for the first time this January. They represent the 3rd and 4th largest oil producers in Russia. Tis is the first time sanctions have been applied on major oils produccers. Imagine sanctions on 1st and 2nd.
2. Sanctions can still be applied on more ships in the shadow fleet. Biden recently sanctioned over 180, but Russia has hundreds of them. That's give Trumps more ships to go after.
3. Biden actually placed a complete bam of oils servicing. With it, long term you could in the soup without the technology. You production capability will drop in the long term.
4. Their LNG was sanctioned for the first time by Biden this January. One functional LNG. More LNG facilities can be sanctioned too by Trump.
There's are other areas still left standing.
Not saying Russia will collapse, it will squeeze the regime harder for sure.
okka: I have involved in some network businesses, all these bitcoin like MMM and the rest. When it's obvious that they have gone with your money, we do have some people in the group that would be giving you false hope that all is well, that they are only having problems with Internet and bla bla. The same job I believe Globeaut and more of recent, the newly recruited Richard870 are doing! Well done. Very soon I will exit this group.

GerogeI: Thanks for this question. Refining petrol is a way to add value to the primary export. But irrespective, Nigeria's problem is not petrol import, locol refining, inflation or high cost of living. These things are all consequences of a failed currency system. Nigeria's economic problems are primarily an overcentralised and internationally ineffective currency. With about 13000% devaluation over the last five decades, the currency is treated as the option for common masses, while elites and the Federal Government operate and make policies to covet USD. The last two regimes took it to new heights by using currency devaluation to bargain for new loans of USD.
This is not peculiar to Nigeria, but common among low IQ African countries, including Egypt in recent years. They place so much value on earning forex, and end up killing themselves economically. Only South Africa with their Dutch Europeans seems immune to the mental disease. How come USA and Europe are not struggling to earn forex, yet they are not selling a lot of manufactured exports. Both are net Importers?
If paper currency are subject to political and technological prowess which we do not have. The right thing to do is to switch to commodity currencies which are not subject to manipulation. Infact a default feature of commodity currency like gold is that they cause deflation, not inflation. Meaning an old piece of gold coin becomes more valuable with time, hence can buy more goods.
You have got some serious grey matter. Excessive devaluation is not always key.
Memory lane is just special. Listen to it with ur earphones and even if u wanted to anything evil, u will reject the ideal 😂. Song is too good abeg.
As regards Eminem, I try not to make it a color thing. In fact at some point, especially during his feuds with Germain dupree, ja rule etc he was rapping like a black with all the threats and I enjoyed it.
Yeah illmatic was ranked greatest rap album. Ross is always rapping off topic. His ego and love for food and wine won't allow him concentrate. But the guy is very solid and his songs are usually very enjoyable.
Illmatic is a better album than it was written as far as the art of music is concerned. Did he rap better on it than on it was written? That's a question that's hard to answer because of songs like the message and take it in blood and suspects.
Same way stillmatic seems to be as good as it was written lyrics wise( if u remove brave heart party).
And mehn, I hate trap music like mad!!!!
But Nas really used it to rap better than trap rappers... Like in the bonus track spicy.
Some songs from the last 6 albums that deserve mentioning due to how the style of rap Nas used:
Rare Store run Hollywood gangsta The cure Based on true events Michael and Quincy 30 Thun(of cos) Nobody Dedicated (the second part) Slow it down Speechless part 2 Bookeen Woodbine The pressure Store run Ugly The truth
No tears( this might be the closest Nas has gotten to make me cry) like wtf! I remember a YouTube reaction on the album... When it got to no tears, the guy shed tears...
Those IWW songs you mentioned are crazy. I also like that track with Dr Dre: "Rap hero, Federal bureau tap my line got zero". Nas is coming track.
Trap sha.These kids like it sha
Ross can rap, no doubt. I love that his track with AZ, vacherin. The beat is crazy 💯
You named some solid tracks from those albums. But you're forgetting
Death Row east Composure all bad ft Anderson paak Office hours ft 50 Full circle Sitting with my thoughts
What do you think about this Lamar Vs Drake beef. You like "Not like us"? I like it but it's not cracking my top 5 diss track list. But it's a quality diss track.
blowjohn: Wow, u must be an extremely intelligent guy so I'll be careful but honest with my answers cos u got me thinking about the music and the rappers the way u just presented them.
First of all, I always believe Nas suppresses himself in certain tracks if he feels he doesn't have anything to prove. That dude is a monster.... That will not appear again till the end of time.
Memory lane on illmatic is perhaps the smoothest, lyrically complex but dark rap song I ever heard.
Eminem is a beast but I think his intelligence limits him. Ab come to realize that certain rappers like Nas, Raekwon, rakim etc who were into the 5 percent nation thing and who read very vast and wide are above other rappers( AZ is one too)
That's why they speak so much knowledge and are so versatile. Eminem isn't one so his vocabulary even though is deep by the way isn't up to Nas level( by the way, Nas use of the English language is the best among any rapper dead or alive)
That's what made me believe he wrote illmatic at such an age.
English was my best subject while in secondary school and I was crowned best I imaginative writing.
But omo, even if I dreamt about writing what Nas penned down on illmatic, I doubt it will be happen in reality. Songs like memory lane, it ain't hard to tell and the world is yours is something that adults cud never pen down even if they used AI today. If it was an alien that aided him I'd believe bro. U know when Nas grants interviews, u don't see any of those words he used come out of his mouth like when TI or camron are interviewed.
But if u listen to other rappers u will hear them tell u how quiet and calculate Nas cud be.
I agree with the biggie and Lauryn Hill thing cos they lack enough materials. Same with Andre 3k.
Kool g rap can murder any rapper dead or alive. But he's so much obsessed with multi syllabic rhyming that he wows u with that and his speed. That's where Nas wins. Half the time, Nas is telling u a story and rhyming in every verse.
This is the thing about Jay z: Jay Z will body most rappers on a song if he wants to any day except, Nas and any rapper that raps fast e.g big pun, Eminem or kool g rap. He seems to be very careful when choosing his words in order to deliver a blow to whoever is on the track with him.
AZ is a beast too. I suspect he wanted to do something similar to Nas memory lane when he did his song' rather unique'. The song presents similar mood and style. But memory lane is just something else (much like street dreaming remix feat R. Kelly)
Yeah he goes beast mode whenever on a song with Nas, but I always felt Nas loses whenever he isn't serious( BTW the track they did together called 'serious' was mad) . Other times Nas as usual goes into storytelling mode.
Nas feat lil Wayne...... Nas had the better verse. Wayne kept using the same alliteration and rhyme pattern. Nas showed why he has too many flows to chose frm.
Life is good is a classic.
Magic 2 is heavily slept on. That's the best themed(magic) rap album ever. All the songs point to magic in one way or the other. Magic 3 is something else especially with songs like based on true events part 1, speechless part 2(omg).
And yes magic was a rollercoaster. But if u go back to magic 2 and 3 u may see why I feel they are better than magic( even though magic sounds more fun)
KD 2 and 3 are classics.
KD 1 had some crazy cuts like blue benz and the cure. But it showed why Nas don't need to many baby features cos the best songs were the ones he rapped alone.
My problem with Lamar and jcole is that their style of rap aee offshoots of trap rap.
Jcole on born sinner was the best jcole. These trap/mumble style gradually ate into j Cole.
BTW have u heard the track produced by shaq O Neil the basketball star? Features Nas and Jay Z( oh yes)
He was the first person to put those the greats verses on same track with him.
I must confess, Nas was just something else that era. Nas went alien on the track.
Lastly, Nas unreleased song catalogue seem to be better than his releases. Ain't that crazy.
You know your rap.💯
Thanks for the compliments.
I thought I was the only one in Nigeria who feels this way about memory lane. Sometimes, I think no one has ever rapped better than that in Rap. That third verse is just mercurial. That track should be on everyone's 10 top best in Rap.
That 5 percent helped them.
Nas' use of English is his strength. I don't think he has the deepest vocab, but the way he uses the language is stellar.
Three stacks be overrated to me. No solo materials, and I don't like his voice that well; the same problem I have with Lamar.
G rap is my guy. Godfather of mafioso rap, east coast gangsta rap. That album, live and let die, shows lyrical dexterity at its peak.
I hope this Eminem thing is not a colour thing sha 🤣
Jay-z moves only by mathematical calculations these days. Guess he's earned it sha. Reasonable doubt, Blueprint, black album, and I kinda like 4:44, although opinion is divided. But it's not a classic sha.
Rather unique is up there as AZ's best song. That street dreams remix is just high level rapping. Pure gold.
I'm happy you think Nas out-rapped Lil wayne on that song.
I'm so happy you call LIG a classic. It should be, only that officer Rose was rapping the wrong thing on the accidental murderer song. Although I enjoy his rapping there more sha 🤣. His flow was top-notch but subject matter was off topic.
Magic 2 and 3 are slept on cos people were already moving on. He shouldn't have released them.
I don't think KD II is a classic. But it's a solid offering.
born sinner j cole was up there.
Trap has invaded everywhere, that's why. Even Nas pandered to this taste on some songs on this his latest run na 😄. I'm not a big fan of trap too.
The Shaq joint, Nas killed it. had the best verse.
Billboard showed some love recently 🤣 for illmatic. I love it. This mainstream media can pander too much at times but they got the No 1 spot right with the Rap album list. But they put Lamar ahead of Nas 😞
Do you think It was written is better than illmatic, some people be saying that. I don't think so, and its quite a margin for me.
