Good morning everybody here....
It's good to be alive once again on a Monday morning

OhiOfIhima:
And the NGOs no get names UNs

I'm suspecting funding from the middle east

Lingz:
Pls come to the north and see things yourself.... It's then you'll understand that the north is more prepared for election than any other part of country. They don't shout, hype the so called[i][/i][b][/b] get your PVC.

They're registering and getting their PVC in a very spirited and religious fashion that will get you stunned. The dedication and energy channel towards that is alarming.,.....works, meetings and other things considered too important by other region get suspended, just to actualize this.

Until other regions stop hating the northerners but work together for common goal, stop believing that typing on social media will win elections, power will always remain in north. They have the population, they are the government that rule Nigeria.

Democracy is a game of number. It's the number of votes that will be counted and not the number of [b][/b]likes on social media platforms.
If you know you know!

Thafs my annoyance with we in the South

It's not the north is far more populated than the south, they are just more politically conscious, and will participate in their numbers.

My short sighted people from the east on the other hand will be non challant, and when Buhari win tomorrow, they will start running their mouth

I can't count four uncles and two aunties of mine who have no voter's card, and who has no plan on getting one.

That non challant attitude across the South MAY make Buhari win again

Idrismusty97:
American politics is just as dirty as Nigeria own. Someone is trying to turn Africans against Trump administration, What better way of doing that than poking the largest black nation. A statement denying this from the Trump adminstration would be issued soon, mark my words. Even if a president is a vegetable so long as he is representing the whole nation it is the policy of every government to respect that leader.

panafrican:
Fake News.
President Trump was very impressed by the inspiring personality, the dignity and respect president Buhari displayed.

You referred to general Buhari as "Nigeria's ailing 75-year-old". Sufficient enough to know where you stand.

Keep in mind the general is well and he will be reelected for a 2nd term.
Jonathan Goodluck will be invited and be given a seat
in the very first row , so he can watch the ceremony
from a close distance as a FORMER president.

What does Jonathan have to do with anything here

Are you sick in the head or something?

musicwriter:
Nobody said slavery never happened. I said it happened by coercion, war, fraud, kidnapping and I explained in the given link.

For example; the Aro Ndizogu you quoted was a town that had a shrine where Igbo people went to consult the Gods to settle dispute in those days. What the shrine keepers did was to trick people by talking from a pipe buried under the ground from a hidden room, and when people heard the voice, they believed the Gods were speaking. They'll then take the visiting team, one by one through a dark channel where they'll steal one of the visitor, if they believed he/she was the one at guilt. Once the individual has been stolen, they'll kill a goat or some other animal and make the visiting team see the blood pass by. This way, they''ll trick the visitors that the Gods has killed the guilty person. The visiting team goes back home, not realizing they've been tricked and that the Gods never killed anybody. The unfortunate man or woman would then be sold off as slave.

As you can see, it was a crime to sell-off a human being and that's the reason it was done by fraud.

Again, nobody was openly selling human beings in a market unless the white man has coerced people. Eventually, as a result of too many missing people, it lead to war between communities all over Africa, and the white man provided weapons of war, which even escalated the trade.

stop saying that shit

you like to exonerate Africans too much for the role they played in that tragedy, that is why I don't take you guys serious in that dept

As I have always told you, I have gone to several museums across Africa? and listened to the people there tell the horrors of slavery

And how they'd kings and elite were complicit

It was business and nothing more.

It was done by "fraud" or kidnapping does not matter here, those dumb ancestors of ours saw a business opportunity and took it.

This girl blue film just full my phone

why are you lying

Amberon1:
Do you realize that Kim Kardashian got famous from a sex tape? I mean an actual sex tape? Which was also the reason she was approached for a reality show?

Didn't Kim do a nude photoshoot just a few years back where she was completely naked?

There are verifiable ways of finding out what Nigerian actresses do. You don't need to know the net worth of a woman to not call her a hoe. Some actors also flaunt their wealth even though we know they aren't "A-listers" but you don't go calling them criminals and fraudatsers.

Toyin Lawani has a makeover artist for some years now. Has her own clothing,
makeup and cosmetic line called "teyanastlingempire" but most of you never bothered to find out before tagging her a "hoe". That is not the way to live.

You can deny all you want but it is no news that the average Nigerian guy has a default attitude of attributing the wealth of Nigerian women to prostitution.

I'm done with this conversation.bye!

why are you sounding like one is trying to pick a fight with you

jeez relax

life is not so hard like that.
It's not my style to label people, so that pre conceived notion you are having is not true

Kim doing a nude body shoot (which by the way is what she does from time to time) has nothing to do with anything, even though I see it as quite stupid when some guys glorify foreigners but vilify their own for the SAME actions taken

It's either you vilify both, or glorify both, or just keep quiet.

I know you ladies here feel bad when some guys here label you folks, but just as a word of advice, a coward's opinion of you does not define who you are as a person. take it or leave it, that's the truth.

just do your think, stack your paper and enjoy your life.

MollyBank:
You mean the one that's always sucking up to Tiwa on Instagram? That doesn't look like moving on to me.

no mind that guy

Amberon1:
But when talking about Toyin Lawani and all the other actresses making a name for themselves, don't call them women of substance or you just term them prostitutes?

well if the tax man can verify theur sources of income, that its not linked to shady things, then yes we can say that they are such

But since we cannot verify the net worth of them, and indeed all our celebs like it's done elsewhere, a question mark will always hang over them.

thars just the truth

Abroad we can pin point how much an actress was paid for a movie, earmings from theur endorsements their holdings in companies etc

Can the same be said of the many "actresses" here


That's the question you should ask yourself

Stallion93:
But they didn't sell themselves into that slavery na and I think that was for 400 years too

They were forced into slavery too

430 brutal years

musicwriter:
@dominique

Africans did not write the histories. The Europeans wrote it and they could have put whatever they wanted in the books from where we picked it up. Slavery had been going on in Europe for over 2,000 years before white people arrived Africa. When slavery ended in Europe, they simply moved their trade to other continents not just in Africa. They were also in North America, South America.

The True History of Slavery and Slave Acquisition in Africa www.africason.com/2016/03/the-true-history-of-slavery-and-slave.html

Look at this one

So the passing of historical events from father to son as it was done is also fictitious abi?

in my family lineage, we keep our history intact, and tell it from father to son to grandson for over 300 years.

The Aro people dealt badly with my village back in the day.
I don't need a European to tell me that, because it's history passed down for decades upon decades

And yes you are right, slavery has been practiced for millennia

After all ancient Egypt also brutally used slaves (Hebrews) for over 400 years

Amberon1:
Don't mind the bloody hypocrites. Kim with a sex tape that the world has seen..Lol.

But Kim has a cash flow in tens of millions of $$$$$ independent of Kanye, both before and After marriage

not that I support the endless bashing of women here

But using "woman of substance" in the financial sense is in order in that case.

oohlife:
almost all of the PVC registered in south east are owned by Igbo's plus that with the numerical strength of Igbo's who registered outside east which should be greater than Igbo based easterners,Igbo's can still make big difference in the upcoming election,my concern is will Igbo's come out massively to vote especially those outside east....this is for those that attack the PVC collection by tribe and not region.

we also have a good number of non Igbos back home iwhi have pvc

in my town, almost svrty aboki there has pvc

See as my people MUMU
instead of going to get their pvc ), in tyoical fashion, they will be non challant.

When they don't get their way, they will start crying

dominique:
Who are the people that made his videos up to 20million+ hits? The numerous religious Nigerians? It can't be!

ogbonti:
May God bless you.... RIP to McCain, but he should not have announced he did not want Trump at his funeral. I guess he was mad, Trump won where he failed. . That was too bad, he fought his party that gave him the platform to achieve all he achieved in his political life, IN THE GAME OF POLITICS, LOYALTY IS EVERYTHING

rubbish

you are in the house to stand for what is right, not do your presidents bidding

It's failing to realize this that makes the Nigerian legislature USELESS

if your party is going the wrong way, that does not mean you shoukd do same.

For that alone, I respect McCain even more

tell that to put ogogoro specialist ancestors who drank well well and still lived very long

MIKOLOWISKA:
again your opinion

You are bringing up Vikings that was im existence for over a millennium ago and you are comparing it with Nigger Africans of today

You see that you are not wise

And you are talking as if you did not go to public university in Nigeria





you are one delusional fellow

MIKOLOWISKA:
again your opinion

no country was built on Kakistocracy
You don't even know what it means
Authoritarian rule is different from Kakistocracy

alexxo11:
its not about what u talking bout.....let me tell you a fact ,the henious crimes nigerians do in kenya and southafrica,if kenyans or southafricans tried that in nigeria you could have massacred us a long time.....you are a set of people who understand only one word ....violence....thats the only way to keep you people at bay!!

I have no sympathy for criminals

The law enforcement MUST do their work and deal decisively with criminals.

It's better for the state to execute a drug mule than for people on the street to go on rampage and start killing people

Because when the state executes, it is more likely that the person was guilty

But for jungle justice, there is a big chance that the person was innocent

Your govt and the law enforcement MUST do all they can to deal with criminals and keep your societies safe.

That's all

alexxo11:
stop blaming blacks...nigerians are just uncooth...end of!!!most xenophobic attacks happen because of nigerians....remove nigerians from south africa and kenya and the word xenophobic attacks will dissapear!

you see what I am talking about?

This negro is even giving tacit support to the Xenophobic attacks

Typical African

The Congolese and Mozambique that were lynched in gruesome manner in that $hithole south Africa, were they Nigerians? nope

it's easy for you to just open mouth and call and blame Nigerians to excuse the barbaric tendencies of the mentally disturbed nigger south Africans

Countries have law enforcement for a reason, taking laws into your hands and going on wanton kiling is the attribute of a savage SOCIETY

Dangote just sank most of his cash into that refinery. I'm not sure he'll be up for a big spending so quick

Why is it that all the internet fraudsters, yahoo boys, and wire gang boys arrested all over the US, UK, and the entire world are Yorubas?
Why is it that the phrase, "Nigerian Prince" is now synonymous with a scammer? Was it not the work of your brothers? Today, most serious online businesses ranging from PayPal, Clickbank, Stripe Atlas, Amazon, eBay, are shutting out honest and hardworking Nigerians because of the activities of your brothers. Yet, your blind self wouldn't see that before deciding to point fingers, of course, it is always easy to blame when there are easy targets.

You, my friend, should go and remove the log in your eyes before coming here to make noise.

no mind am

musty00:
Index is putting up a fight around 35k as expected. But it will crack soon.

How deep it will go when it does cracks, is what is unknown….25k?

I prefer to let volumes thin out a bit, particularly with the big caps. When big volumes are still trading, it may suggest the big players are still fighting it out, which could still lead to some unexpected big offers, crashing prices further.

Here’s what I think is playing out: (I may be completely wrong though)

1. The SMART foreign investors have already jaaaa’ed; they sold to the foreign investors doing longer throat for interim dividend

2. The LONGER THROAT foreign investors (after chopping dividend) will wake up and start selling to the mugu foreign investors, who will eventually get trapped or sell at loss

3. The MUGU foreign investors will sell to local institutional investors and big retail investors, or convert to long term, when they realize the magnitude of their loss.

As all this is unfolding, volumes are thinning out and prices looking more attractive .

4. We the small small retail investors will then start picking up the scraps and wait . (This should be the so called bonanza period ). But if it’s looking like the bonanza might not go round, we too will join the scrambling at number 3.

The cycle will start again with the SMART foreign investors moving in again to mop up from the frustrated mugu foreign investors who now want to get out desperately.

Right now, I’ll say we are somewhere around number 2.

Not a recommendation please!

Nice perspective you got there

mvem:
..please am well versed in American politics... How is McCain a democrat? Everyone knows he is hardcore republican, the ones that don't flinch or change there conservative ideology at all. .. And he was well respected in American politics

that guy does not know anything

uniqUN:
Who does that at 81?
Sir Nnewo Maverick the first.
Trump just thinks he is the only hot head in the world. He needs someone to remind him everybody just respect himself ni. And besides, if you believe on what is right and wrong, stand by it no matter what and do not be intimidated by anyone or by death or by age. It's called 'conscience' sir.

help me tell him

Iamzik:
They did not reconcile.

It's petty and vindictive for an old man to take bitterness to the grave.

Great military hero yes
Great politician no

All his votes were a personal vendetta against trump and he crowned his hatred by disinviting the POTUS to his burial. Who does that at 81?

Trump is a muthafukka

Why didn't trump at least extend the olive branch to a dying man?

oh I forgot

He is a megalomania piece of shit.

Ghost01:
After 35 years in Congress, he dies at 81! And yet we blame some of our Africans leaders for wanting to cling on to power till death do them part with the seat they occupy, wondering if same can ever happen in the advanced democracies. Well, it does and here is an example! May he R.I.P.

McCain was useful to the house

Very useful

If not for him and a few others

That mad motherfukka Trump would have destroyed Obamacare.


Old leaders in Africa don't add value to their countries, they devour them.

IamaNigerianGuy:
Please stop this black bashing. MLK, Mandela, Nyrere were black men who sacrificed and died for their people. There are many more.

you don't blame him for bashing black folk

The state of our people is pathetic

All those who paid theur dues (sankara inclusive) are the exception rather than the rule

For the vast majority of Africans, it's selfishness and wickedness all the way

Let's pray it changes tho

Akpacha:
A SNITCH. Only the Democrat would miss him.

I guess u are just hearing d name MCcain today. I wouldn't debate America politics with u, I teach u. The problem is, I may explain but u wouldn't have d brain capacity to understanding it, so no need. For buhari, how he is buried is never my concern. I don't have regards or compassion for a wicked tyrant like him.
