One thing about naive nigerians, they don't try. If they try and fail, that's it.

This generation of USA wants to do what the past great generation did. They have the blueprint, but even with the blueprint, it's not easy. Moreover, they are adding other things to the shuttle. So, it is a trial and error, until they get it right.


All these people saying USA uses Russian shuttle, lack knowledge. That is for private firms eg Verizon, cnn, t mobile, google, etc. They have a military shuttle that they choose not to share with private businesses. That is why elon musk, Jeff Bezos, etc are doing it now. But with interest in more private enterprise, the govt wants to be servicing that aspect.

USA military has thousands of satellites, even google use then as back up sometimes. Yes, Russia used to drag with America in space, but that is past tense. America has won that. China that everyone is praising, used technology that Israel gave them, whereby Israel got that technology from USA. It is a second hand technology.

All the people wishing for America demise, are going to be waiting until they kpai, because is like waiting for Dangote child to be broke, especially if Dangote trained her to take over. Never say never. But if all goes normal, then they will be fine.

America is not perfect, but America is better than Russia and china combined. They do their own space, they also do shared space tech with uk, france, Sweden, finland, Australia, canada, etc. They are not pompous to go to a village in Nigeria to learn something they don't know.

Not long ago, North Korea was loosing rockets while trying to fly them, they failed numerous times, but they worked on their mistakes, and then got better at it. China, uk, every country that tries and are determined, go thorugh straightening up their kinks.

Naive Nigerians get sense abeg. Always balancing to laugh at other peoples failure, forgetting that the people they are laughing at, are already in the 90th percentile score. Till today, a 10 year old Nigerian might get to 20 or 30, and have never experienced uninterrupted power supply for a whole year. They are all about food, and hailing who is defrauding the economy to form rich. Nigeria can't even compare to 1910 America, but you will see useless naives, jubilating at set backs of people that are trying. SA in africa here, have even crack heads that don't know what they will do with themselves, if there is no light for an hour or more. Heck, nigerians don't even know about air quality in a home. Is all about food, wetin we go eat. Even the food is scarce. We are a useless society as presently constituted, we need to be busy, instead of acting like a gossiping useless worker, that is incompetent but gossips more than valuable people.

May God continue to bless the great state of Israel and other anti terrorist supporters.


We know journalists and we know target finders. I don't think the terrorist criminals were in the first group.

mu*2 people have dashed them toys.

For all we know this could be personal toy.

There are millions of ways of bringing things in.

Why didn't the Nigerian guy make them run his cable to his house straight. We always like to complicate issues, he probably didn't have installation patience when he first moved in, then proposed to do short cut from his neighbors house;


In America, that neighbor has a right to use the line if he or she chooses. But if that line was run outside his neighbor house wall, (assuming this is an apartment), or run underground. The only problem he will face is the apartment complex. Some apartment will not tolerate haphazard wires running everywhere, normally the apartment will be built with such infrastructure built in mind, that the wires can go through one secure place in the building or the complex. OR they will have a certain sq ft on the side of the building, where is just dedicated for the tele communication initial power signal box, before the wires is run into the subscribers space. Some apartment will not tolerate drilling without approval, especially outside the house walls. You need to get management approval - which is a 3 days max time before you know if approved or not,.sometimes even the same day - depending on tasks, they might need to inform the other tenants, just incase contractors might put ladders in front or behind people's windows. It's all about courtesy.


This is a case of eyes wey see. U dey use neighbor infrastructure, to do short cut; then on top of that you haven't improve your own access, but you wan dey block him access. If the neighbor cut your wires, you no go even get wifi or cable tv, to cun reach when you go cun dey change password.

In this case, the neighbor is right.

You are just going to end up assuming and picking sides.

The message is out. The jennie is out of the box. Is on all platforms.


We will choose peace, but will adjust to chaos.

The great region will align with Israel, the USA, and other great and sane allies. The great region will at least be cordial to all nations, everyone will be given an opportunity to be heard.


Enemies of Israel, America, Finland, and other sane and progressive places, should know that going against them is a non starter. Afterall, how many times have they gone against Arab countries.


Seun, let people be expressive. We know you have your own bias, and also okpolor eyes don't like criticism, he loves praises, while he claims all the treasury and then throws crumbs for his peasants.

They are not dependable due to their religion. The SE needs to add other avenues, like genetically modified crops and food, that we made, that can be grown indoors or outdoors.
Not letting such a vital importance such as food be under the influence of people that are not dependable.


We need to push for such thing to be diversified. Some of it in Kogi, akwa ibom (far from the oil side), Ebonyi (full time security and access), and even Jos. As supposed to a side, that may wake up one day, start sharia law, begin a terrorist hisba forces, and then block the access to food. So, it should be done in at least 24 to 26 states.

The problem with Nigeria is more than money, it is also an expertise issue. Too many people got a mago mago education, no knowledge from A to Z. Is only crime that is really knowledgeable. We know crime from a to z. And worst of all, the fraudulent tribalist criminal is a dedicated crime criminal Lord.

Ekejoestar:
Only in Nigeria will something absurd be normalised,

One would think that with plenty of mosque and churches we have in this country that integrity and honesty will be our forte but reverse is the case.

Nigeria is a country that shuns and even going as far as killing honesty but will gladly reward criminal and looters. How the hell did we get here as a people?

Imagine one guy like that who says he is a NANS president coming on live TV to say that the journalist should be arrested.

And our "reactive agents" of a govt have activated their reaction mood, setting up committees upon committee just to investigate what has been going on under their nose for many years of which they themselves are beneficiary of.

Now someone should tell me why other nations should take our education system as a serious one, why Britain and other English speaking countries like Canada and co won't impose IELTS exam on us, all these things are connected.

I leave you with these words, "if the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do". The foundation for any nation to succeed is education, and that foundation in Nigeria is in serious quagmire.

Wise one.

The country is awash in evil or naive to a fault.

They are teaching the young ones how to become useless or evil in future. An 11 years old that is mentally shaping his view on society, will see where honesty is a thing to be lynched, what do you think that person mentally will be by 20. Let me answer that, either a useless docile person or an evil person.

This guy exposed something that is vital, not like Nigerian universities are any better, but now, the evil ones are reminding the dociles, that the guy will be dealt with.

I am worried for my igbo tribe. We should have been observing these absurd and defeatist characters from a distance. Nigeria is a curse. It is soiled with evil people. Truth is not our thing. We look at decent and high road mentality people as ode. No coordination of anything for honest progress. This is why the leaders don't care for the people. They take all they can muster, send their family to sane climates outside the country, and just go all out in stealing and demagoguery. They have uselessed many generations. I really worry about my igbo tribe. The evil and extremely docile people are way more than any decent nigerian. No accountability of any sort, everything is mago mago.

Arabaincubus:
It is very easy to isolate illiterates. You may not even be igbo. You lack self-confidence.

Specific dunc^^e. Like I said, you are a low IQ, extremely low IQ. Between me and you, who lacks self confidence? Dunc^^e. You think igbos are a dunc^^e like you. Am on a mission to let my igbo tribe know that we can do great things. And not just settle for low IQ things.

Arabaincubus:
If you also do something rather threaten, you will still be Igbo. Lead the Way...

Where you see threaten?

Your idiocy might be beyond repair. Carry your idiocy comot from here. You are the example of the stark aloof am referring to. Low IQ dunc^^e.

if no be say I be viodemus, I for dun dey capitalize on the ingrained naivete of this society. Its seems like 98% of the society is either highly aloof or fraudsters. Only 1 or 2 percent, dey logical.

Soludo shouldn't have gone to an uncompleted project. Is it a pig farm? I mean he or he and his sponsors tried, but this is uncompleted. In a sane place, this will not pass approval for opening.


We igbos, need to start forcing our selves to be above mediocre, way above mediocre. We have learnt rubbish ways from the others. Teaching future igbos below average things; gloating for mediocre. thereby tarnishing our great tribe.

We need to be planning for rain and other drainage, we need to be planning against fire spread, then we need to have plans for the people that will work there, and those that will visit. What kind of walkway will you put?, Are you planning on motorcycles packing that whole place? or will they have a designated area, and then cars? What about shop delivery and temporary storage?

We just don't think anything through. And if one born fool*sh basta*d quote me here to ask wetin I dun do? I say your family are condemned in advance. Is it everything that viodemus will do. So many archaic people in this useless country. They travel out but they don't absorb good techniques and logic, all they do is think of criminal acts.

chiagozien:
Buhari will handle security and Osibanjo will handle economy



Now Tinubu is handling economy and Shettima handling security

you are giving then excuses.
Tomorrow now, cow dung eyes will come out and say, he is handling economy, and the other one security. He never ceases to look for an incompetence hiding place.


Economy, security, and everything is under his watch. The other one is just an assistant.

It is so easy to cheat people in this country. No accountability, criminality and deceit rules the people. Tufia.

plagiarism.

Not creative or thoughtful.


oga Sanwo, stop copying brown teeth okp*lor eyes, in stup^dity, laziness, and bad habits. Brown teeth wey him teeth be like say he dey chop nails, abi na granite stone for breakfast and dinner. Okp*lor eyes with brown teeth, loves corruption engagement.

Sanwo, be wise.

This is like 2 to 4 people wey decide to do cinema acts for the pastor. They are not disturbing anybody on sunday morning, or blocking the road, or pushing for their law to be state laws. They are praising and enjoying themselves. let them be.

It was for resources but it was also arab religion influenced. Make we no mild this horrific act.

This is not good, especially the mathematics.

The SE should really focus more energy on primary and secondary school kids. If that foundation is not stable, everything else will be hard to align.

Goodluck to him. You do the crime, you face the time.

My brother from ( presumably) the south east...did I read you mention France?
Wow. France the murderer of millions of black ppls, the killers and blood suckers , who helped ( with their house nieggers) turn Afrika to a graveyard...you are depending on France?

I weep for you. You haven't known your real enemies. Ask the Congo, Haiti, Mali and Burkina Faso, who France is.
I really feel sorry for these Africans, who have no knowledge of history.

So seriously sad.

Broda, if france will help us against our enemies, so be it.

Why are you not seriously sad about hausa, fulani, and kanuris (normally all called hausas), why are you not seriously sad about their Saudi and iran loyalty. We are more loyal to Israel, America, Germany, and even UK, than france; but france is on the top of our allies.

Raf4:
Don't forget to tell us that the orisas they are worshiping in Brazil like Shango/xango, Babaluaye, Yemoja etc are igbo gods. They also come from Brazil every year for annual Osun festivals at ezu river in anmbra.

Brazilians just needed something to hold on to, and that thing has stuck. But now, they are doing dna, and information about the world is getting clearer to them.

I am a Brazilian at heart. I lived there. Not that far from Rio, about 2 hrs away from Rio. I cover that whole area. They think I am a real Brazilian, and I take them as my second tribe.

Yes, they love yoruba, but more so appreciative of yoruba for letting their people in the millions come back.

opamoses1:
Aside your Arab this and Arab that which makes zero sense..The yorubas weren't conquered to being Muslims by the FULANIS. If they were, all Yorubaland would be Muslim just like in the North where the Hausas where conquered by the FULANI. The Kanuris repelled the FULANIs too..

The Yorubas accepted the religion just as they accepted Christianity. The Jihadist Fulani conquest was stopped at Oshogbo.

In igbo side, the northerners and their arab lords, didn't even conquer any town. We pride ourselves on that.

The Brazillians and other former slaves, including Europeans, brought christianity to yoruba people.

The igbos were not even Christians until 1902, and then really became Christians during and after the biafran war; they saw the Christians as different, helpful, and have the same kind heart like our own Gods.

opamoses1:
Guy, you I don't know what you are smoking but it's very bad. Arab slave trade never got to this side of Africa

Stop showing me A.I generated to favor your argument prints.

Yorubas were enslaved by the arabs to break them down into being stooges for the arabs, yorubas unwillingly became muslims. The few Christians you see, were mostly the Brazilians and a few converts that changed from traditional or muslims to christianity.

Goodvibes007:
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Arab slave trade was focused on North and East Africa.

Not really. Yorubas were not willing muslims. They were conquered into being muslims. Part of the conquering, was enslaving them. And at that time, the arabs and persians were conquering india and its surroundings, that's how yorubas got there.

opamoses1:
Warris this 😂

The arabs and their African converts enslaved the yorubas, and the arabs more so the persians were the ones that conquered india, Pakistan, etc before Europeans. So, most yoruba slaves were taken to india and those places. Do your deep research.

AuthorMan:
Your History get Kleg oga.
Go to all those African countries slaves were dropped after slave trade. You won't find Igbo.
In Gambia. The Yoruba tribe is called the Aku tribe. They bear every indigenous Yoruba names. Ojo Babatunde Alaba Wande. Likewise in Seriealeone they call the Yoruba tribe Oje tribe. Togo etc.
They all have Yoruba foods and gods with same names. Moinmoin is moinmoin and akara is Akara. I lived with the them in Gambia.

Lying won't get anyone anywhere.

Sierra Leone people came to Lagos and ogun too, via British, so your mata no hold water. And the British took them there too.

One unique thing about yoruba culture be say, they would dam near bully you to learn their language, and if you do, you dun belong. Most of the war refugees from liberia in the early 1990s are still in the sw, many of them, their children are full time yorubas today, because they can speak yoruba. Those kids have grown up and have their own kids, full time yorubas now.

We igbos, need to get creative in our tribal retainment of people.

Igbos are mostly related with Cameroon, congo, bukina Faso, all the way to SA. Yes, we have people in the west of africa too, but not like the deep roots like yorubas. But Africa is not only west Africa. Hausas, fulani, and kanuris, have deep roots in west Africa also. So what? We were not conquered by the arabs, it was Europeans that conquered us. We take pride in that.

Goodvibes007:
Yorubaland is huge and spans at least 3 present day countries.

Salvador, Bahia has the greatest concentratrion of blacks. In Bahia, most slaves came from the Mina Coast and were of Yoruba, Fon, Ewe, Hausa origin in contrary to other regions where Bantu slaves from Angola & Congo predominated. Yoruba and other West Africans were Muslims and thus could read and speak in Arabic which impressed white people. Same applies mostly to alot of South American countries.

Although Brazil received slaves from various parts of Africa, including the Eastern Coast, most slaves came from the then called Slave Coast - situated where today are the modern states of Nigeria, Togo and Benin - and smack in the middle of Yorubaland.

Portuguese traders bought slaves there since 1450, and in the 1600s. they built a fort in Ouidah, Benin - the Fortaleza de São João Baptista de Ajudá. The place served as a trade center, with the locals buying European and Brazilian products (tobacco, sugar and spirits, mostly) and selling slaves - mostly Yorubas.
During the 1800s. the fort was abandoned, and occupied by a Brazilian slave trader, Francisco Felix de Souza, roughly from 1805 to 1844. Francisco Felix received from the King of Benin the aristocratic title of Xaxa, established a harem, had countless children and established the largest slave market in Africa. ONLY TO BAHIA (his native State, by the way) he exported HALF A MILLION PEOPLE during his life, and he supplied Rio and Pernambuco as well, and the Americans and the British. (If you want to know more about the Xaxáma, read The Viceroy of Ouidah, by Bruce Chatwin.

In this book the Chacha is a Gaucho from Bahia, and Bahia and Rio Grande are 3.000 km. apart. You can also watch Cobra Verde by Werner Herzog, loosely based on his story. If you really want to know about him - and know Portuguese - read Francisco Félix de Souza, Mercador de Escravos. by Prof. Alberto da Costa e Silva).

Just to give an idea of the size of his operation, in today’s value the Chachá’s empire would be worth 3 billion dollars. Although I can’t see why, his descendants - called Ajudas - still revere his memory, speak some Portuguese words, turned his home into a Museum, and give a big party on his bithday. More incredible yet is that a few years ago the then PT Governor of Bahia, Jacques Wagner, crashed in to the party to wish “happy birthday” to the memory of probably the worst slave trader in History.

But wait a minute - if more Yorubas came to Brazil, that meant that they enslaved their own people? The answer is, of course, NO. Most Yorubas were enslaved by the Fon, which inhabited Northern Benin. And why they did not fought back? Well, if you have someone who’s worth 3 Billion supplying your enemy with guns, that’s difficult.

Use logic, and you will find the reason for the prominence of the Yoruba people: lots of people of one ethnicity landing in the same place are more likely to preserve at least some of their culture.

forget logic, igbos are winning the dna numbers in Brazil. No logic is bigger than that. Let me shock you, there are more of them that trace back to modern day cross Rivers and akwa ibom, than a majority tribe like yoruba.

Shikena:
You are a very talented upcoming comedian

mu*2 wey no get sense, see as una pack come. I ready for una. The truth must be unleashed, since una wan white wash history.

I will even go as far as saying a good percentage of yorubas are igbos or akwa ibom or crossing Rivers. If many brazilians came back from late 1790s to even the early 1900s, and most of them were the tribes I mentioned above, including some other Africans, then help me calculate.

During the European slave trade, most yorubas and northerners were already muslims. It was the deal the arabs had with Europeans, not to violate the muslims because they took them as their own slaves. Yes, sometimes that delal got violated, but it was not many like the igbos or akwa ibom or cross Rivers.


If you want to find yoruba slaves enmass, go to india, Sri Lanka, etc those black looking kinds are mostly yorubas, hausas, and a very few igbos, because igbos fought the arabs for centuries. Even till today, igbos don't really like arabs. The black indians don't like doing dna because india has a very mean caste system. But truth be told, that is where the yorubas are. Stop claiming Brazil. Brazilians are just now starting to get their bearings right.

Shikena:
What is your point? I stayed in Salvador, Bahia and I am telling you what I saw and was told. If Yoruba land was just a staging area, how come I saw houses named after Yoruba towns and families in Salvador? How come Yoruba culture was strongly preserved including folk songs and even religion? Why would slaves that were merely staged in Yorubaland be more interested in promoting Yoruba culture?

Abeg go and study more. Is not a secret.
Brazil has the largest population of blacks outside of Africa. Yes, yoruba culture has a head start, because it was the go to place for brazilian slaves. I also stayed in Brazil, I lived there, not visit. I saw when many of them were dumbfounded that their dna is not tracing back to yoruba like they thought. All their life, they have been told of yoruba and yoruba culture.

My hypothesis on how they came to claim yoruba culture, is that many of the ship captains, who were the big boys amongst slaves in those times, were very influential in spreading the yoruba culture there. And then during their wars, the colonials took some Africans especially the Brazilians back there to go fight. After the war, those ones help spread the yoruba ministry again.

The whites of Brazil couldn't tell the blacks they were lost people like the Americans. By the way, about 25% of American slaves, were taken from Brazil. Brazil was the staging ground for the Mexican, American, etc. slaves. It was from Brazil that they dispatched slaves all over the Americas in the 1600s, and 1700s.

The Brazilians just held on to what they know, and it was mostly because they could get to Lagos, Nigeria. The fact is, over 5 or more million of yorubas today, came from Brazil. It was even because of the Brazilian model that American govt decided to send some African Americans to current day Liberia; but that did not translate in the African American communities like the Brazilians. Am sure if it did, the current black Americans would have been saying they all came from liberia.
