basilico:But I initially you disregarded them completely, insisting that only XX and XY exists. For your information the prevalence ratio of Klinefelter syndrome is 1:500, meaning 0.2% of the population on average. So yes it is rare but but not so uncommo . Are you guys now suggesting chromosonal testing be done on every sport to determine which category to place athletes? 1 Like 1 Share |

BREAKING: Donald Trump gets devastating news as billionaire Mark Cuban and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman join forces and unite over 100 venture capitalists to back Kamala Harris for president. And it gets even better... "We spend our days looking for, investing in and supporting entrepreneurs who are building the future," reads the "VCs for Kamala" website. "We are pro-business, pro-American dream, pro-entrepreneurship, and pro-technological progress." "We also believe in democracy as the backbone of our nation," the site goes on. "We believe that strong, trustworthy institutions are a feature, not a bug, and that our industry — and every other industry — would collapse without them." "That is what’s at stake in this election. Everything else, we can solve through constructive dialogue with political leaders and institutions willing to talk to us. In this pivotal moment, we are united in our support for Vice President Kamala Harris," it reads. The announcement is a powerful rebuke to far-right Silicon Valley billionaires like Elon Musk who have thrown their support behind Donald Trump's fascist movement in the hopes of more tax cuts. Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Mark Cuban and his allies for supporting Kamala — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

basilico:Sensational Headline. That headline would attract more readers for Business Insider highlighting her indian heritage than anything about her black heritage. For example, the newspaper cannot write "California Kamala Haris becomes the first black American Senator" 1 Like |

basilico: That's because she was raised by her mother and had strong ties to her maternal grandparents. Kamala also was never too far from her fathers black roots. She attended Howard college, a historical black college. She was a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, a black fraternity at college. she was elected president of the association of Black law students at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law She had alway identified with her black ancestry as she was raised in a black neighbourhood. Trump's is just race baiting in order to excite his base by questioning Kamala's racial and ethnic background. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qF-IvSqxdE?si=sb2kExuzcN2CmFVM 4 Likes 2 Shares |

IjeBos:Blackness can be defined in terms of ethnicity (ethnic background) or simply skin colour or tone, and Kamala Harris satisfies both terms. Her father is Jamaican from African roots, so she is black from her paternal roots. Her mother is Indian from Thulasendhrapuram, a tiny village in the southern Indian city of Chennai. Their peoples ethnic identity is Tamil and their skin colour is generally darker that the rest of India, being the most southern region. In terms of race Tamil people are Dravidians. So if we are to go strictly racist, Kamala Harris race roots are negoid and dravidian 1 Like 1 Share |

In surulere, nice 2 bedroom will set you back at least N1m.

anonimi: It is obvious Reno Omokri is on the payroll of the APC government. All the data and statistics he is spewing is just government propaganda without any real basis. Below is the actual link to the National Bureau of statistics https://tradingeconomics.com/nigeria/balance-of-trade#:~:text=Nigeria%20recorded%20a%20trade%20surplus%20of%202158250.70%20NGN%20Million%20in,Million%20in%20October%20of%202023 The figures were just cooked up. What's the meaning of 1516.3% increase in the shipment of energy? What energy? Are they refering to LNG? In fact our LNG exports have declined in recent years. From the report, we have other oil products at 195.6% increase? What is meant by other oil products? Crude oil at 162.5 when our crude oil production (most of which had been signed away) is currently at 1.28milion barrels per day? Imagine Reno Omokri talking about a GDP increase of 3.1% (which actually falls below IMF forecast) in an economy with 30% interest rate of 34%. https://www.channelstv.com/2024/07/17/imf-slashes-nigerias-economic-growth-forecast-to-3-1/#:~:text=The%20development%20comes%20on%20the,latest%20data%20from%20the%20NBS.&text=File%20photo%20of%20containers%20seen%20in%20a%20port 1 Like 1 Share

samwash: Deported kwa? Is that ignorance or lies? I can understand your love for Messi, but it should not make you retort to lies. No one was deported in those countries you listed, the freed slaves were given the option to remain or be returned to their homeland (that is if they could locate their homelands). Those that could not were taken to Liberia or Sierra Leone. Argentina was and is reported to have an elimination policy for former Black slaves, by deportation, dehumanisation or outright elimination. How else would you explain the fact that all their neighbours have huge Black population, but Argentina virtually has no significant numbers. 1 Like |

HAD3S:They dragged Nigeria into it due to their ignorance. They were actually trolling Mbappe and by extension the French national team. They don't exactly know Mbappe parent's roots outside they are Africans. They know his father is black African and so choose the most popular black nation - Nigeria, and they have played against Nigeria numerous times at the World Cup. They seem to have no idea or have forgotten of Cameroon. Also they mistake Algeria with is actually the roots of Mbappe's mother for Angola. 2 Likes |

Nigeria to be a net exporters of petrol by December when Nigeria's total crude production is 1.28 barrels per day, and NNPC share is 700,000 barrels per day? Also remember that Nigeria has signed away most of our own share of the crude in contractual agreements for the next 5 years. Even if all our refineries are working including Dangote's 650,000 barrels per day refinery, where will we get the crude to refine? 1 Like 1 Share |

allabig:If spending 3 to 4 hours everyday praying and speaking in tongues does not make you rich, then what is the purpose outside making you feel high and euphoric? Muslims shouting "Allah akbar" at the top of his voice multiple times gives them euphora and a high. Buddhists chanting "Om Mani Padme Hum" multiple times gives them euphoria and a high. Cele Christians shouting holy Michael or el jah multiple times puts their mind in a state of euphoria or trance. Same thing with pentecostals screaming Jesus or some other gibberish, it only induces euphoria and a trance. The same effect of being on hard drugs. |

Sapasenator:Exactly! That's why a society that's gets high on religion simultaneously also gets high on hard drugs like cocaine, marijuana, codine, etc. Eg highly religious South American countries are the headquarters of hard drug. Even Taliban ruled Afghanistan is the epicentre of cocaine trade and use in Asia. Meanwhile, less religious countries like China have little drug problems. |

David0002: Imagine working or learning a skill fervently for 3 to 4 hours everyday, I am sure you will be a millionaire not just in Naira but also in dollars by now. As the saying goes "Two hands working can do more work than a thousand clasp in prayer" and speaking in tongues. Anyway, all is about Oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin. These are happy or feel good hormones released into the brain when you undertake certain actions or consume certain substances. Some people release these happy hormones by dancing and night clubbing, others use psychotic substances like cannabis or alcohol to get happy or high, others still use meditation, prayer or trance to get their dose of happy hormones. The problem with all these is that these methods of getting happy and high are very addictive and once you are hooked, you always long to get high again. Then on waking up you hit your low, and then the need to get high once again. In all these your situation or condition the same or even worse. |

bemeruca:Even though I doubted the assassination when the news first broke, I rushed to make my doubts known. I don't Trust anything coming from Trump. With more information coming out, I then lean toward believing it was an actual assassination attempt. I recant my initial stance and admitted my error. But there is now the nagging question of fatal failures on the part of the Police and secret service. Why did the US security services fail so woefully? Was in deliberate or a failure. In todays America, is it so easy to shoot a presidential candidate or any other high profile politician? We await the full investigations. I have hated Trump since the 1990s. I was introduced to Trump around 1995 by a very good friend. Even then my friend idolised Donald Trump. He gave me his book "the art of the deal" to read. I disagreed with his business philosophy. I followed him from that time till he ran for president. I even followed his then wife, late Ivanna Trump. She said some bad things about Trump and their marriage. Trump personality, morals and philosophies are opposite to mine. About hating Republicans, I was a fan of Ronald Reagan. I believe he espoused republican values than any republican alive today including Trump. 1 Like |

Bystanders saw the shooter on the roof top with a rifle. The bystanders tried to call the attention of the police and even the secret service more than 5 minutes before the actual shooting, they simply ignored them. So doubting Thomases like us had basis to doubt the assassination attempt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG0qPDCWE9w?si=x_3jEQdwvgUl7Spo |

I initially suspected this was a set up, but, with more information and even before investigations commence, I immediately changed my mind and accepted that Trump barely survived an assassination attempt.
