And why couldn't Biden stand shoulder to shoulder with Putin in order to dispel whatever propaganda Putin decides to spew. He chose to be a coward instead.

When has Trump ever countered Putin publicly in his life. Trump was Putin's bîtch throughout his 4 year reign.

Could your personal Lord and savior stand shoulder to shoulder with Putin on any issue? Trump could not stand shoulder to shoulder with Kim Jung Un not to talk of Putin.

obixcel:
So Putin organized a Press Conference which have him d opportunity to spew his propaganda before the world media, Whereas Biden couldn't do a single thing, Only yelling at a Female reporter

At least it was Putin spewing his propaganda before world media. In Helsinki, Putin did not need to spew his propaganda before the world media, Trump did it for him.

MalcoImX:
That has always been a problem, but ain't there better ways to manage it than ban.

To us in the south a ban is the best way to stop the destruction of farmers livelihood and protection of their lives.

I bet with more Fulanis in the North, haven't they seen it as a feasible solution.

It not our business how Fulanis in the north feels. After all most southerners in the south were not happy with the alcohol ban in the north. A governor job is to secure the safety and wellbeing of his people who elected them into office.

Regarding cows not having a right graze on your land without your permission, whose permission do you require to set up your spare parts business in Lagos or Kano?

You are required by law to obtain permission before setting up spare parts shop or any other business in Lagos or Kano. If government is run properly and lazy governors don't depend solely on Niger Delta oil, they should have been taxing spare part businesses.

Besides spare parts business rent shops and confine themselves to those shops. They don't insist on displaying their wares in your compounds or homes, and then kill you for refusing. If the north bans street trading, they have my full support. But you cannot ban people from doing business in the shops they rent.

MalcoImX:
[/b]

That's because his promulgations were evil, just as denial of grasses to cows were wickedness. It was malicious and nothing else.

You are being insincere. The problem people have with Fulani herdsmen is not grasses. It's trespassing on other people's lands and properties and destroying their crops and sometimes harvested foods. It's now taken a more dangerous dimension of killing farmers themselves and attacking their villages.

Cows don't have the rights to eat grasses on my land without my permission.

MalcoImX:
In what way is beer selling a cultural heritage for the Igbo?

And pig farming is in no way a problem in the North. It's only that the Muslims don't engage in it.

So correct your submission

As a Niger Delta man, gin has a cultural heritage in ceremonies and religious obligations.

MalcoImX:
But it's constitutional for an Igboman to graze (sell his spare parts, okrika and expired drugs) anywhere in Nigeria?

Damn men.

I am waiting for the day iPoBians would talk without cursing.

False equivalence. Selling expired drugs is illegal all over Nigeria. If the north bans the sale of fake drugs, every right thinking person will support it.

Also a ban on the sale of okrika can be justified for health and economic reasons. Although I am not sure such powers reside with state governments. But the federal government can ban the importation and selling of okrika, and they would be a justified.

Same with spare parts. the importation and sale of fake spare parts can be banned for economic reasons. This is because people are being scammed of their hard earned money.

Open grazing is another thing altogether. The nigerian constitution vests power over lands on the state governments. The federal government only has powers over lands in the federal capital territory and some coastal limits and water ways. A state government is the one that allocates state lands. If a governments says they don't want animals roaming their lands, whether cows, chickens, dogs or cats, it's within their jurisdiction.

If state northern governments place a ban on spare parts, what then happens to all the cars in the north when they need repairs. Do car owners travel to southern Nigeria just to buy brake pads?

Note that sale of cow and meat was not banned. It was cows and Herdsmen disturbing the peace all over southern Nigeria that necessitated the ban.

Now answer this question - WHY ALWAYS FULANI?
Fulani have had decade long problem in southern kaduna, Jos, Benue and now all over the south.
You guys needs to do some soul searching.

Even Major Okar wanted to excise you guys from Nigeria, but then he did not receive the support of other Nigerians.

GalaticHorde:
I wonder why some democrats and even Biden to an extent pander to republicoons that weren't elected to lead in this dispensation all in the name of bipartisanship! If democrats fail to achieve more goodwill from the American public this time, they'd only have themselves to blame.

Remember democrats did not win with a clear majority. The Senate is 50 - 50 and hold only a slight majority in the house. Also remember Trump gathered 73 million votes. So the democrats cannot disregard Republican voters and concerns.

Buzx:
Well, it seems you've not heard of "flash loan attack" that has been used to steal millions of dollars from decentralized exchanges. BurgerSwap, which is a decentralized exchange on Binance smart chain network was rekted of millions of dollars last month through flash loan attack. Their liquidity pool was drained of the millions. This is just one of the many Dexs that have lost money through flash loan.

I must admit I am new to crypto, as I had avoided it since the failure of earlier digital currencies more than 10 years ago - ie e-gold, liberty reserve, etc. But recently I realized that cryptos are here to stay, and so I just started getting involved.

Having said that, the only way I see to hack a crypto currency driven by block chain technology is by obtaining the password and keys through a phishing attack or getting it directly from the wallet owner by force. I don't think the servers holding the transaction ledgers can be broken into as the information is stored in multiple servers and computers, and a brute force hacker would have to hack all the computers.
I might be wrong and I would appreciate some education.

When it comes to "Hacking" it doesn't have to be when you use brute force or something like that. They're lot of ways hacking can take place and they're different types of hacks.

Should I tell you about Metamask, the popular wallet and chrome extension people use, where their website was cloned and people lost money by visiting the cloned website and inputting their seed phrase.

Still sounds like a phishing attack.

The thing is, the whole world of crypto, blockchain and decentralized finance is relatively new and still needs a lot of improvement. Those who are into it now are regarded as the early adopters and need to tread with caution. Crypto is not hack-proof. Blockchain is just a word, and they're a lot of Blockchains out there. Some are very secured, while some have security issues.
[quote]You are probably right as regards shit coins or meme coins, but for established cryptos like Bitcoins (which is the crypto under discussion) and Etherum, I am sure they are virtually hack proof.
[quote]Now, do Nigerian government have the skills to hack or block a crypto wallet and retrieve funds? Nah, I don't think so. They must have beaten seed phrases and passwords out of those guys to retrieve funds. Cheers!

Even the US government don't have the skills or tools to hack Bitcoins, else they would have caught the criminals that blackmailed colonial pipelines and rendered the US without petrol for almost a week. Colonial pipelines had to pay over $4 million in bitcoins and the money was never recovered.

Yes, EFCC would have tortured the guys to get access to their bitcoin accounts.

Have a nice day.

GalaticHorde:
I hope he evacuates them and the republicoons don't make a big issue out of it. The abandonment of the Kurds to Turkey by trump is still fresh in mind

The Republicans would certainly make it a huge issue. In fact that might be the only talking point going into the mid term elections. Tucker Carlson and Fox news would not talk about anything else.
If the Republicans can support Trump to hand over the kurds who actually helped them to defeat ISIS to Erdogan, you think it's ordinary translators that the Republicans would care about.

EnlightenedUFO:
Well the sad part of US politics is that Biden will never be the 100% antithesis of trump, coz even some of the career bureaucrats in his cabinets are going to slow things down for him, and the trump left overs might do immense damage. The hope is that there's some republicans and democrats in congress that supports the removal of these translators from afghanistan, and these members are former soldiers who served in iraq and afghanistan. If Biden really wants to change the US drastically away from how criminal trump left it, he has to be very bold and cut all these office tapes.

He simply cannot. He needs to not only keep his Democratic base, but also need to make some inroads into the Republican base and most importantly independents, as he most certainly will be seeking re election. Right now immigration is a very risky topic.

EnlightenedUFO:
I don't understand why Biden don't want to remove the translators from Afghanistan and that Blinken is sounding like a slowpoke to me. If Biden causes this to be another big issue, he will get a thumbs down from me.

It's because of the current anti immigration mood in the US. Republicans have so demonized immigrants and immigration so much that it has become a political weapon. Even genuine refugees are disliked by the US public.
Biden and the democrats are being very cautious of issues that has to do with immigration.

NarcoPolo:
Now we know why Malami had a crypto wallet running on his phone Also, we can be fairly certain that the national treasury won't see much of that haul,

Much ke? The national treasury will not see any of the seized cryptos. First cryptos are virtually banned from the Nigerian banking system and CBN does not have a crypto wallet.

basilico:
Fulton County Georgia.

Fulton county admits it did not have chain of custody of 24% of its ballots.
These votes should not have been counted but were.
Georgia SoS says he will investigate. He is a scumbag.He certified Georgia results knowing there were 300k questionable votes.
Trump called him, asking him reject at least 11/k invalid votes for Biden He recorded the call , then leaked it to WAPO. He deleted the recording but it was retrieved from the trash bin.

Next audit might be Georgia.PA audit might also be coming up.
If a thief stole money and gets caught should he keep the loot?

It's a pity you are ignorant of how democracy works and stubbornly refuse to get some education.

In a proper democracy not one vote can be invalidated without going going through the legal process, except the error or fraud is from the voter himself/herself.

After the voter votes and the votes tallied and certified, no other excuse is allowed to invalidate the vote. That's why agents of all parties are present at all election venues and all parties sign off on the results.
If there is any error on the side of the officials, the voter cannot be punished for the incompetence of all others up the line. That's how elections are organized, even in shit hole Nigeria.
Do you expecting cyber ninja or the Republican Senate to invalidate elections in whole counties is a fantasy or better hallucination.

If there is any error in chain of custody or any other administrative error after the results had been declared, it can only be corrected for the next election, it can never flip the results of the last elections in favour of Trump.

wink2015:
It is an extra-judicial process and these funds are seized without proofs of frauds more so the person in question is not a fulani or northerners.

Don't mind them. They are seizing people's funds without a court order. How do they know that funds are gotten through fraud?

They can only get to access to people's crypto wallets by torture and blackmail.

Kubernetes:
The agency has all the mechanisms and the infrastructure which you don't know. The efcc has a software that if they put your bvn and run the software, its gonna bring all your accounts in the entire banking platforms in Nigeria including all your cards, including all your transactions, including all where the money is coming from and where it went to.infact the software has an AI field that can dig out all the alternative e channels those money came from. Its just that he will not mention such critical information in the public.

We are talking about crypto currency and you are talking about BVN and software.. Cryptos run on blockchain technology which is virtually impossible to hack.

Maxymilliano:
And how did he know that such investments are all proceeds of fraud ?

Don't mind them. How did he know the cryptos were proceeds of fraud, when crypto transactions cannot be traced. It's even more astonishing how they are able to recover funds from crypto accounts of others. Most probably they tortured people into revealing their passwords and keys.

Finally what's happens to the seized crypto? Since cryptos are not officially recognized by the CBN and only very few people has access to the crypto accounts, it means only them know how much is in the accounts and only them can transfer funds out if the accounts.

EnlightenedUFO:
I'm eagerly awaiting that report and see if what they disclose is uniform to people's experiences of UFO's. I'll take time to talk about my experience someday, still gives me goose pimples Everytime.

I am a UFO skeptic. I used to be a believer, but as I grew older it became to make less and less sense. Don't get me wrong. There most probably is life elsewhere in the large expanse of the universe. The problem is them travelling the tens or even thousands of light years to get to us. Except there is some unknown physics we are not aware of yet that allows superluminal travel, travelling between stars is impossible.

UFOs might be exactly what is connotes - UNIDENTIFIED. It's not necessarily of extra terrestrial origin.

Sunnybay7:
Oh quick recovery, hope it's not covid.

It's most likely the after effects of Covid. Covid infections are suspected to have long term cardiovascular effects long after recovery.

raumdeuter:
This did not start with Trump though, Trump just took it many notches up

I believe it was not so much of a problem pre Obama. Before Obama Republicans and Democrats worked together in the interest of the country. During Obama, the legislature became highly polarized along party lines which also reflected in the mood of the country. Then Trump came and moved it several notches. Now there is nothing like bipartisanship. If one party proposes a bill, the other automatically opposes no matter how beneficial the bill is to the whole country. Trump was virtually ruling by executive orders. Same with Biden for now. I doubt any bill can pass through the legislature and be approved by the president.

THE NAME OF COMPANY IS ESTEED NIG LIMITED. NAME OF THE PRODUCT IS CHROME GEL MADE IN GERMANY 10 GALLONS. NAME OF THE MARKETING MANAGER IS PASTOR PETER ADEOYE TELL 09041452617




They done arrive this year again o. Same Scheme different number and names looking for CHROME GEL HANDSANITISER. They claim to want to purchase my small chops for their church program coming this Saturday, that chevron is organising it. They now want the same honourable Usman Galadima who called with fake Hausa accent and wanted to see the sample of the HANDSANITISER. That I should pay #75k to marketing manager and keep the sample for honourable to come and collect before paying me for my small chops.

I told them I can't pay that the company should send it and honourable will pay it on delivery, naso the company started bargaining that I should pay even 30k later 20k. I told Mrs Olaitan to send the money to them that they should remove it from the small chops money. Naso my people stopped calling o.


The scam get level these days sha. So I browsed the company name and ended up here

The same format was used for my wife yesterday. She operates a small eatery. A woman called yesterday to place an order for 1500 cupcakes and 3 celebration cakes. She told me to help her prepare a quotation, which I promptly did. To my surprise she said the quotation was approved without any negotiations. The job was to be for a big company to be used for charity.

Today, the lady that called yesterday said she and her boss are coming to the office to discuss mobilization. To my surprise my wife told me that they need 30 gallons of hand sanitizers also, a special kind of hand sanitizer called Solen Point Made in Germany. The person that contacted us said we should contact the supplier to get the price and then add N60,000 which will be shared between my wife and her.

Oboy, see excitement on both of us. We quickly left to the office to prepare for their arrival. She gave the name of the company that sells the sanitizer as Esteed Nigeria Limited and the name of the markething manager is pastor Peter Ayodele. She also insisted that the boss would need to see a sample. When my wife called the so called marketing manager, he said the price is N155,000 per Gallon. The problem is that they don't give out samples anymore because people take the samples and adulterate their product.

After my excitement wore off a bit. I started thinking that his whole deal is not making sense. Besides I asked my wife who will sponsor the whole deal. The company selling the sanitiser would not release N4million worth of product without full payment. I asked if the company that's ordering the hand sanitizer will pay before receiving the product. It just not wasn't making any sense to me. So I decided to Google the company and product, and it brought me here.

Pure scam.

Kokobilo87:
Trump is a fighter. That's all you gotta know. You hit him he hits ya back with an icing.

Fighter ko, warrior ni.
Trump is a coward. He has never been known to be involved in a physical fight, even when he was young. He ran away from the draft by presenting fake medical report. He had always been protected by his wealthy father. He employs other to do his fighting ( and crimes).

DissTroy:
Sadly, a lot of people on this thread and beyond it are deeply emotionally invested in this - the back-and-forths. And if you are discerning enough, you can tell the emotional comments. The recounted tales which they tell to justify their hate.

I know web developers who have been turned down for remote work by one or two Democrats because they tweeted something in support of Trump or the Right - it's standard practise to submit your CV, which includes linls to your social media accounts and portfolio. I know folks who attack John Legend and trash his music because he's pro-Left.

I know folks on Twitter who have done nothing but shame, refuse to stream music videos of and bully Lil Wayne ever since he spoke in support of Trump, and, worse even, eventually got a Presidential Pardon from him. The people who attack Lil Wayne's legacy the most these days are blacks who would rather have seen him rot in jail or be tagged a felon all his life than get a fresh start just because it came from Trump.

There are blacks who attack Trump and refuse to praise him when he helped get A$AP Rocky and the other black woman out of jail. They refused talking about it and slam him as a pest or doing it for photo op.

All of those and worse are seen on this thread. And, with the level of hatred I see peddled here, I have little doubt that if there was a chance to blackmail some persons for a crime they didn't commit, some persons here would do it.

It's why I cautioned Obixël last week not to try to release more personal details about himself. I have no doubt that one of the persons here would try to get him sacked. That's the level of hatred here. It's seeped into every argument and exchange.

I understand and appreciate your point. But you really cannot blame the individuals, the blame squarely lies in the political climate that has been created and nurtured over the years. And I suspect it will get worse, much worse.

Let me elaborate.
Before now politics was a clash of ideas and ideology. Politicians sell their ideologies and get followership based mainly on ideologies - not emotions, not racism, not class, not hate. But politicians have discovered that people respond better to emotions than ideology, and so started concentrating on whipping up emotional sentiments. And what are the most powerful emotional sentiments? - hatred, fear and nationalism. This necessitated creating or identifying an enemy to fear and hate. Democrats became enemies of Republicans and not just political opponents. Muslims became enemies of Christians, Christians became enemies of Atheists, agnostics, gays, liberals, etc. So much hate has pervade the world.

Trump used this strategy very effectively. To win elections he demonized his opponents and works his supporters to a frenzy. He did it to his opponents during the Republican primaries, he demonized Hillary Clinton so much that even democrats began to hate her. He demonized immigrants, Mexicans, blacks, minorities, LGBTs, etc. He worked his supporters so much that they are prepared to murder Trump's opponents, as witnessed on January 6. Trump's cults supporters here like basilico, benalvino2, obixcel are ready to hate people who don't support him and maybe harm them if they get the opportunity.

In Nigeria the relation between PDP and APC is one of hatred. Between Igbo and Yoruba and Fulani is one of hatred. Between Muslims and Christians is one of hatred. This hatred that was hitherto negligible has been amplified by politicians for political capital. Kanu employed this hatred in the beginning to energize young angry igbo youths, and it was very effective. He promoted hatred of Yorubas, Fulanis, Muslims, northerners and even fellow igbos. It's only recently he has mellowed down.

puzzlegate:
You and buhari, we don't know who is more sensible !

You need to buy a better phone that can post on nairaland without breaking or multiple posts instead of the pkalasa phone you are using.

Typical IPOB youth.

puzzlegate:
The vast majority of successful igbos with billions of dollars worth of properties all over Nigeria and the world are not members of Senseless talk. Ipob means INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA. You and buhari we don't know who is more sensible !

At least we are certain Buhari is far more sensible that you.
INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA is a meaningless term. You obviously have no idea what the term indigenous means before you even understand what biafra means. The term biafra has no meaning.
Biafra was never a people. It was simply a term coined by Ojukwu for his two and a half year breakaway dictatorship from Nigeria. No tribe called biafra is indigenous to Nigeria.

bozzyjoan:
Man, You are truly confused. But Last time I checked every Igbo want a Biafra republic even here in Lagos.
Meanwhile to all Those fighting for freedom for the actualization of Biafra and Oduduwa, we pray to see light at the end of the tunnel.

You need to change the class of igbos you move with. I have igbo friends and employees, my wife is igbo and so my in-laws are igbos. Very few of the igbos I know and interact with want biafra. Most just want a conducive environment and level playing ground to continue to do their business.

I just watched Maurice Iwu on TVC a few minutes ago, and he says he is not interested in biafra.

Sunday2021:
those people you mention, if you think they do not earn their position, why not bring your father to take over their positions.

Are you telling us than only Fulanis are the only people that can earn positions under President Buhari? That no other tribe out of the over 100 tribes in Nigeria have profiles or CVs that can match Fulanis? So you mean to tell me that only Fulanis have the best profiles in Nigeria to head all the security agencies, the EFCC chairman, custom's comptroller general, most heads of parastatals, etc?

In one breadth President Buhari said his appointments are based on going through the ranks to get to the top, that appointments are based on seniority. But in the next breadth when questioned on why he appointed the current chief of army staff despite many other senior officers above him. He changed the argument to competence.

This is like heads I win and tails you lose scenario.

Tetehjewels:
Buhari said Ipob is just like a dot in a circle. They have nowhere to turn to. They are spread everywhere and have properties and investments in other areas so he feels they don't know what they are doing so how he will handle them would be to mobilize the police and military to go after them.

Well spoken

Buhari seems to be conflating IPOB with Igbos. This is the problem with Buhari, he sounds ignorant or deliberately mischievous. IPOB is not igbos and in fact only a small segment of igbos ( mainly frustrating or jobless youths in the the south east and abroad) are IPOB members, who don't even have much investments and properties. The vast majority of successful igbos with billions of dollars worth of properties all over Nigeria and the world are not members of IPOB.

How long did it take before they got pedophile Epstein? Even matt gaetz under fed crime watch was already outed as a pedophile by his wingman Greenberg, but the feds didn't just rush in to arrest him. Try and understand the US justice system is quite slow but they get the job done at the end. Research on famous criminal cases and how long it took for justice to happen.

Forgive her, she thinks US is Nigeria where you are arrested first before even commencing investigations for an alleged crime.

benalvino2:
You haven't been paying attention. All I am saying is that the government, congress or a governing body needs to regulate the media some how some way.

Those people, fox News, CNN, whatever can blatantly lie and get away with it. It is dangerous for a nation to allow the media have all this power. The US is dying and it is dying within.

This is not a joke.

Nobody is disputing that government needs to regulate the media, especially social media. But banning a media site because it deleted one man's tweet is not regulation. It's immature emotional outburst. It's an ego trip.
