Coming from a Pentecostal background, I agree. You have a point. That is why I no longer even do most Nigerian churches because A lot of them really are just personality cults.

Doesn't still excuse the acceptance of the Catholic flaws in the very same subject though. I think identifying these things and changing them leads to better togetherness on both sides.

I personally swerve Catholic girls because, at their best Catholicness, I can't stand the thought of somebody setting up shrines to a dead lady in my house that she prays to. Just not my cup of tea and does not match my theological beliefs.

I too hate the idea of setting up shrines of a dead white lady and bowing down to same. The same way I quarrel with the worship of a dead white man and calling him your saviour, your ancestor or progenitor. It's annoying when all figures worthy of worship are white and all images of evil are black or dark skinned. It's psychologically demeaning

are d electric cars solar powered....bros go and study during dis lockdown abeg.

Believe me you are the ignorant one here. Both solar power and electric cars depends on batteries. You can charge your car batteries with any electrical source - solar, hydo, gas powered or petrol powered generator, etc. The same thing with a solar power system, you can charge your batteries from any source.

The amount of power you can generate with solar panels depends on the size and total number of panels. The amount of power you can store when the sun is not shining depends on the size of your battery bank

GalaticHorde:
I told you before to stop quoting me because of your irredeemable stupidity! But I will humour you just this once, the flags hanging on the buildings are German flags too right? GTFOH!

I don't think anyone should be responding to that handle, it's either a Russian troll or a very unstable person. You know the popular saying about arguing with a mad man, people might not know who's mad.

asamaigho:
solar energy keh!
solar energy dat cannot power an airconditioner naim d world wan move over to?
u wan end d world?

Who told you solar energy cannot power an air conditioner? When we have electric cars and trucks with airconditioners in them, how do you thing solar power with enough battery bank cannot power a 1hp or 2hp airconditioner?

Trump's daily coronavirus response briefings are going from bad to worse. It has become a platform to make political campaign speeches, attack the press, promote unverified drugs and make stupendous claims, instead of providing information and guidance on how to deal with the pandemic. He need not worry about how outrageous his claims are, his worshippers will swallow them as divine truths.
Today he claimed that his move to restrict travel from China saved a billion or more lives.

Trump's travel restrictions could have saved billions of lives in a country of 330 million.

My brother, don't divorce your wife.




Everybody engage in this kind of chatting with Ex-partners ,some even wishing they had done things differently and marry each other. Virtually every married man/woman have nursed such ideas in their hearts.

Your wife just happened to expressed it through chatting and unlucky enough to be caught.

Seat her down, show her the 'screened shots' evidence of the chatting and tell her not to repeat such things. Then start being more loving, caring with lots of fucking.

False assumption. Not everybody continues romantic chats with their exes after marriage. I deleted the numbers of my exes and even changed numbers after I married. I had an ex who refused to let go. She even found my new number and started calling. I started blocking all numbers I suspected it was her, and stopped picking unknown numbers. It was after about 2 years into my marriage that she stopped all the rubbish.

If you don't want to eat meat, don't put it under your nose or tongue.

A married man or woman has no business constantly chatting on the phone, unless it is actually business. What will they be chatting about?

And why do you think the responsibility of being more loving, caring and fucking rests solely with the husband, in addition with proving for the material and emotional needs of the family

olabrinks:
I just gave birth a month ago, I’m still very much on my phone. Having a child doesn’t stop a woman from adultery, that’s not the issue here. Their underlying issues need to be resolved.

Now tell me, are you very much on your phone with an ex, a school sweetheart or an admiring toaster - always ?and keeping it secret from your husband. What do you think your husband would say of he found a chat with you calling someone else dear, honey, baby, etc, and asking why he didn't propose marriage to her.

mignone:
He'll never get peace of mind with a counsel as urs.

And he will get peace of mind with a wife he doesn't trust?

blovesther:
lolzzz not all women dear......I believe this couple(poster) have communication and trust issue.....else this thing is very simple to deal with.
Is not easy starting all over again so its better they sort it out and continue the marriage because the devil you know is better than the angel you do not know

Which yeye communication issues, they did not have communication issues when she decided to marry him, abi? How come they had communication issues and he was able to communicate the proposal to befriend her, engage her and eventually marry her? We like to behave like oyimbo forgetting we are different. Did your mother have communication issues with your father?

She just want to have her cake and eat it. From what the OP said, the old school sweetheart is not doing well financially, and that was the main reason she chose the OP. She married the OP because of financial security and not love. Now she wants to receive financial security from the husband and love from her old school sweetheart.
It's annoying the way nairaland ladies talk as if women has nothing to offer in a relationship or marriage and expect only the guy to give everything - financial security, love, emotional security, sex, etc, while the woman watches telemondo or zeeworld, buys expensive cloths, do expensive make up and hair and occasionally open her legs for the guy to do all the work.

specialbobby:
Op pls do secret investigation before you let your family know about it
And give her more attention more than you do before and see if she's gonna change

Gbam. You need solid proof before you can confront her or her family. She will deny and twist everything against you without solid undeniable proof. Get screenshots of all chats and save them on your own device. Install a spyware on her phone, so you can listen to conversations, see messages and chats and know her location.
Don't mind all those ladies advicing you to talk to her, endure, pray or patronise her, they are birds of the same feather. You are still young, you can easily find a more loving and appreciative spouse. Life is short and you must not compromise your peace of mind.

Mintum:
Abeg help me tell them, when they were busy tweeting #Remove45, #Resist, #NotMyPresident and other things, nobody accused them of plotting coup or calling for civil war. Now ordinary LIBERATE that Trump tweeted and they are accusing him of all kinds of nonsense

Pathetic argument. So because anonymous people write rubbish on twitter is enough for Trump to respond by calling for civil disobedience against governors. Was it the Governors or high ranking Democrats that wrote these things. What will you trump supporters have said and done if Obama, Clinton, Pelosi or Schumer tells their supporters to resist the president or liberate the white house? You would have cried treason.
If we should compare with how you guys insult Buhari, calling him all sorts of names and wishing him dead. You think Trump and his supporters would have gone raving mad.

Chrisbeks:
When Trump claimed that he had absolute power to reopen the country, there were cries of “authoritarian,” and “constitutional crisis.” Now that he’s largely leaving it up to governors, you liberals are now crying he's kicking responsibility, he’s putting the “onus” on them, or the “burden” on them. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. It's always about politics for you libs. There's nothing Trump does that you won't condemn and that's why I never take your criticisms serious. I know it's your default settings and it doesn't matter whether Trump does right or wrong, libs gonna be libs and drive themselves crazy over it.

You guys are schizophrenics, you have split personalities that argue with yourselves.
Now answer this, does Trump has absolute (you guys would say omnipotent ) powers or not?
One day he says he has omnipotent powers, the next day he says he is leaving the opening up of the states to the Governors, the next day still (yesterday), he orders his cult members carry out civil disobedience against the Governors of Virginia, Minnesota and Michigan. If the Governors called for a civil disobedience against him, he will be screaming "coup".
The US need to brace for a civil war to remove Trump, either next year or in 5 years, he will never leave without destroying the whole country

kiddkash:
vladimir putin has always liked Africa because of its natural resources, climate and no nukes

Putin, like Africa? Men what type of shit are you smoking? Russian generally don't like Africans, but they are better than Arabs and Jews. How many African countries has Putin visited? Which Russian President had ever visited black Africa? The only reason i prefer Russia to many western nations is that "they no send us", they don't exploit or instigate us to war. they sell you arms if you have the cash though.

WaywardSon:
He downplayed it and did not act quickly but i remember many people calling him a racist when he made US the first major country to place restrictions of any kind on Chinese travel. By that logic even his critics did not see this Pandemic coming. He is clearly trying to deflect attention but that doesnt mean questions shouldnt be asked about the way the WHO handled this.

Stop making excuses for ineptitude, his critics did not have the amount of classified information at their disposal. When intelligence agencies briefed republican senators about the likelihood of a global pandemic, what did they do? the sold of their stocks instead of alerting his critics and the american public.

China has been secretive about everything and the WHO kept reassuring the world that they were dealing with authentic numbers, the United States Funds them and should ask questions. I personally believe the WHO allowed political correctness to dictate their handling of the Covid19 outbreak, rather than stand up to the fact that China was clearly lying about many key details of the Virus outbreak.

false. I know that according to trump's supporters, the US pays for passage into heaven (and probably hell also), but in reality The US is not the sole sponsor of WHO. Its contribution is the largest at 14.67%

The WHO's budget for the 2018 and 2019 two-year bracket was $5.62 billion, of which $4.3 billion was in specified voluntary contributions, according to figures now updated until the fourth quarter of 2019.
In this sector, the United States is the biggest contributor with $553.1 million, or 14.67 percent of the total specified voluntary contributions that ended up being fully distributed.
The next biggest contributors are the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (9.76 percent), the GAVI vaccines alliance (8.39 percent), Britain (7.79 percent) and Germany (5.68 percent).
They are followed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (5.09 percent), the World Bank (3.42 percent), Rotary International (3.3 percent), the European Commission (3.3 percent) and Japan (2.73 percent).

China's contribution of $7.9 million amounted to 0.21 percent of the total -- behind Luxembourg (0.3 percent) and Pakistan (0.36 percent).
https://www.france24.com/en/20200415-us-funding-freeze-blows-hole-in-who-budget

Um, nope unless any other country can somehow protect EUROPE, Pick up the UNITED NATIONS funding, NATO funding, replace HOLLYWOOD and Have so many Nuclear Allies all over the world that will always be at your beckon and call even when you're clearly the bad guy and can still rain a Sheetload of Freedom from The first and second greatest Air Forces on the Planet. Nope nobody not even china can fill that gap, their navy and influence is purely regional

In the same vain, the US does not pick up UN and NATO fundings, its is the largest contributor.

Actually it is a well proven fact that China also covered up the SARS Epidemic even misleading the entire world on its severity for a full calendar year. Right now everyone is saying "listen to the experts" these same WHO experts who swallowed China's Lie hook line and sinker? They said that Trump's actions at that time were a bit immature, and did little to help. it is not only the US but other Western countries like France Italy UK and Germany that have been affected, what about the governments of these countries? have they also failed? the simple Answer is NO because I believe they acted based on WHO information which was not relaible when the world needed it to be.

When the say experts, it does not mean WHO? We are talking about epidemiologists and virologist like Dr. Fauci. The US has numerous experts in the field of epidemiology and virology. Trump feels he knows better than them all.

China will always be an Economic giant but the world is run by treaties and alliances not just money, old alliances last and when the chips are down America always has Institutions and to rely upon for survival, the ICC, Saudi Arabia, Israel, NATO, UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL where their closest allies readily rally to support any motionput forward.

The treaties that is gradually being dismantled by Trump? Trump disregards the ICC and has a terrible relations with NATO.

who does China have? their neighbours are already US allies and Russia isnt exactly a very close ally, they also seek the throne too. Trump can only change policies for 8 years after which another globalist may take reign and its back to business for them again

China is building an allaince (i call axis of evil) with Russia and North Korea.
US is also having terrible relations with its neigbours - Mexico and Canada, and its long time allies - France, UK, Germany, even Australia.

Nbote:
I'm currently watching it on Al Jazeera... There is a difference between leaders and rulers... There 3 phase plan is jus stunning how dey have already lined up plans and are working towards it.. U can hate Trump all U want but he's one man who definitely knows what he's doing even though he may have is many flaws.. The way he handles each question thrown at him is simply brilliant.. Planning ahead both for d US and countries who "May neva b able to build ventilators"

Eya, hero worshipping has eaten your brains, Which 3 phase plan? A summery of the so called plan says businesses and social life in general will resume at the discretion of the Governors. Shebi, he said he has the power to do and undo, that the power to resume rests with the president?

What does "limited opening of businesses, including restaurants and gyms, that observe social distancing" mean? Who and what determine the limits?

The second phase is as useless as the first. Which says "opens schools and allows gatherings of more than 50 people in addition to further lessening of restrictions on businesses. Non-essential travel also would be allowed". Most schools have more than 50 people and how do you enforce the restriction of gatherings to 50 people? What happens if a gathering is more than 50 people? Who determines essential and non essential travel? Is it restricted to local or international travel?

The third phase is more stupid than the rest; "people vulnerable to the coronavirus would either shelter-in-place or have limited movement in public". Who are the people vulnerable to the virus? Is the whole population not vulnerable to the virus? Is Trump himself and his family not vulnerable to the virus?

All the bravado and shenanigans is just to show his dumb worshippers that he is in control when actually he is not.

If Trump kills their mothers and rape their wives at the same time, his worshipers would praise him to high heaven and feel blessed.

Mintum:
There's no confusion there, it's a fact Trump has never filed for bankruptcy. Trump owns over 500 businesses, five or six of them filed for bankruptcy, that doesn't mean Trump himself was bankrupt. You can't find one single person in this world that runs hundreds of businesses and none of them closed down. However, Ivanka has told a story of how when she was still a kid, her dad once told her that a beggar in New York was richer than he was then because he was in so much debt then. He never filed for bankruptcy then but in reality he was bankrupt. He managed to turn things around because he is an astute business genius.

You mean Trump was able to turn a turn a 8 billion dollar debt in 2003, according to Ivanka Trump, to billions of dollars by by 2015, how?

He needs to show US his tax receipts over the period to understand how he did it.

Mintum:
Which vast experience does Bill Gates have in dealing with diseases? SMH for you liberals too. You lied that Trump went bankrupt five times and you want me to take you serious? Trump is a billionaire by all credible sources and that's a fact not liberal fairytales.

Since you are Trump's arch angel, can you please show us his financial records or bank statements over the years; o while at it, let's see his tax receipts also.

nduchucks:
The people that will receive the checks do not give a ratsass about whose signature is on the checks.

Na person wey belleful dey complain.

So you think it's ethical (or even legal) for trump to use the desperation of the poor people during this virus pandemic to further his personal political goals?

What will you say if Buhari does the same.

ifeanyija:
if Buhari sign a cheque of 100000 naira u won't accept?

You guys seem incapable of staying on topic. The issue is the appropriateness of Trump signing a relief check from the Federal Government 7 months to elections.

When Buhari was distributing money few months to the elections through the trader moni scheme, it's still the same you guys crying fowl, without stating whether you will reject it if you were given.

nduchucks:
This is very impressive. 80 million payments have been made electronically already.

In the meantime, American wailers are wailing about Trump's signature on checks. Are there signatures on electronic deposits?

We are not talking of electronic deposits, we are discussing checks. Why should Trump's signature be on checks for those that are being paid by checks? Maybe all payment of civil servants by checks should bears Trump's signature. Maybe all purchases and payments by the Federal government should bear Trump's signature. Better idea - Maybe the dollar should bear Trump's signature and portrait

Lostz:
even Obama called a health care plan Obamacare.

the left leaning media will always look for a way to discredit Trump

Calling a program or policy the name of its originator is different from putting your signature on checks. He could have called the program Trump relief package and no one would have raised eyebrows.

destinie2019:
What has he done, sef? Name one thing.

What has he not done that Trump also has done. Trump issued a travel ban and you guys say that is the greatest achievement of Trump in curtailing the virus, Buhari issued travel ban, you guys criticise him for being too late.

Trump could give $1,200 to each US tax payer because the US has has a $21 trillion economy. Buhari is proposing N5,000 because Nigeria has $450 billion economy, where most don't even pay tax.

ifeanyija:
He is far better than buhari, look at the way they disburse money

Na him money or papa money? Why insist on signing his name on the checks?

It's just an electioneering gimmick. Trump's dump worshippers would feel its Trump that gave them the money.

veron007:
Bros keep deceiving yourself. Igbos have fought the battle and earned themselves the respect they deserve. What everyone knows in Nigeria today is that Igbos are united more than ever and more than prepared to fight another war if 1967 progrom against Igbos starts again. They have done it before and will not hesitate to defend themselves again.

In otherwords, Phillip Effiong should not have surrendered unconditionally, and should have fought till the last man or woman.

Maybe be you guys should withdraw the surrender your father's signed and pick up the war from where they left.

SocialJustice:
Please go back to school and get your degree. If there's no business you're interested in then invest in real estate or buy shares. Shares of most companies are currently selling at a steep discount. Do not leave N500m in your account, it may look like big money but you will soon realise how small it is a few months from now.

If what you said is true, this is the best advice. Go back to school to add value to yourself. Invest a substantial amount in the property market (property market is more stable than the stock market). You can invest a little in the stock market. When you graduate from school, you will have the right skills and temperament to invest better.

djon78:
See this disease wont do much in Nigeria because of many factors:

The government was more proactive more than many western governments..Those that traveled through Heathrow, JFK, and many other busy airports in Europe and America said there was no restrictions or check as of February but Lagos and Abuja airports were doing serious checks as of that February period

Nigerian government locked our borders and airports at the right time.
Many of these western nations allowed the disease to spread around, they were caught napping, hence the havoc and fatalities.

Even China's neighbors in the Asia Pacific region had less death than the Europeans and Americans because they responded in time.

The west failed woefully
They handled the issue poorly

The incubation and manifestation period for this virus is about 14 days or there about. Most of our people that returned from overseas before the lock down is past three weeks now.
Everyone with the virus must have manifested in either sickness or death


By the end of this extended 2 weeks Nigeria will have been free.

The only problem will be for government to put tight control at our airports and borders so that anybody that comes into Nigeria after the lock down is over must be quarantined and seriously tested.


I don't even see the death toll here reaching 20 self.

I agree with you, but our brothers from the east and PDP would not agree with you. They will tell you Buhari's response to the virus was worse that that of Italy, UK and US.

Another factor that I believe is helping us curtail the virus is our weather and immune system.
Our hot and humid weather helps us restrict the spread of the virus as it curtails it's spread. The virus does not last very long on hot and dry surfaces.
Furthermore, we constantly abuse our immunity (drinking pure water, eating foods with various degree of contamination, constant malaria and typhoid infections, etc) has really helped us in fighting epidemics and pandemics in general.

maasoap:
That's the reality my friend, it's not a wish. The woman and her husband had invested a lot in Africa. FFK can't claim to love Africa more than these couple.
The woman was making a plea for Africa for the whole world to come to our rescue before it's too late. What she said is what many sensible people among us already knew. Between Melinda and FFK, who do you think love Africa or Nigeria better? Melinda of course. She gives to Nigeria and Africa all the time while likes of FFK takes as much as possible from Nigeria, sometimes, more than what three generations in his family would need to survive.
FFK is doing what he knows how to do best, distorting comments to attract attention.
Let me ask you: what is the relevance of people like FFK to Nigeria?

Don't mind them, if tragedy strikes now, people like FFK would take the next available flight out. They would take their families to the best hospitals in the world. The same people demonising Melinda now would be appealing to Bill and Melinda Foundation, WHO, UN, Red Cross,etc to come to the rescue. When famine hit Ethiopia, ,FFK and the likes did not even see it, it was the same western people that came to the rescue by sending billions of dollars worth of food.

Africans, sorry I mean Nigerian have arrogant pride. They have and know nothing and yet behave like they own the whole world.

Agboriotejoye:
Yet you've been typing shite and demonising, insulting, cursing instead of praying first for God to bless your day. Is dis how you live your life?
Why didn't you wait till your brain was fully ON before you jumped on the internet?
Rethink and rejig your life man!!

Who have you seen me demonising? It's you people that is so negative that demonises and hate everybody, even those that try to help you. You guys carry negative thoughts and energy around. My day is always blessed, I aways look forward to improving myself, my family, my business and my surroundings, everyday. I have no space or time for haters, cursers and negative people who contribute nothing to there environment.

I took a look at your profile. I see we agree on most issues except this Melinda Gate's issue.

I think we should just agree to disagree, cause I have some respect for your views.

obstead200:
at the bolded, Ur mathematics is wrong. If we have a million infections, we will expect 30,000 deaths, not 300,000

Noted.
Just woke up, so not fully alert.

Ofon0909:
Before you all crucify Femi Kayode, go and look for Melinda Gates video and watch it. She said she sees dead bodies lying all over the streets of Africa.
Femi Kayode only rebuked her prophesies and I stand with him. After all if any thing happens, it isn't Femi's fault but our Government who isn't proactive and playing politics with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Before you conclude, go and watch Melinda Gates video and Femi's video.

Nigeria is cursed with dumb populace. It explains why we are in poverty in the midst of plenty. Nigerians are the only people that will curse you if you give an honest advice, but is negative. If you advice a Nigerian to take a certain action to prevent failure, poverty or death, he will curse you and your father, and end it with God forbid and "I reject it in God's name", but when tragedy happens, he looks for someone else to blame.

If a woman advice his husband to write a while, take a life insurance policy or prepare for any eventuality, they would brand her a witch that is planning to kill her husband.

If you tell your your friend who is living large today to save for tomorrow, because the source of money might dwindle or stop tomorrow, he will hate you and say you wish him evil.

This is the terrible nature of the Nigerian, the inability to think and plan tomorrow.

A woman, who had done tremendous work in Africa. A woman who along with her husband is responsible for eliminating polio from Africa, and a woman has shown concern for Africa is giving advice to Africa, based on what she saw in Ecuador.
Instead of us to disagree with her politely, we are supporting a known drug addict and a serial womaniser, who had never done any charitable thing in his life to demonise her.

She has a point. The fatality rate in Nigeria so far is about 3%. Out of about 300 people confirmed infested with the virus, 10 are dead. Imagine the number of death if up to a million people are infected. That would be 300,000 thousand.

Even the the Trump administration is using a projected figure of between 100,000 to 200,000 deaths as a best case scenario. Worst case scenario is between 1 million to 1.2 million deaths.

honeyB2018:
Am not a Femi Fani Kayode fan,but going through your thread on what Mrs Melinda Gates said, there is no differences between what she said in reference to o Ecuador and African and what FFK said.
When she said I see in Africa, what I saw in Ecuador, what was that supposed to be? What did she see in Ecuador, was it not death?

And FFK and you are the voltron of Africa? Africa has about 52 countries, but it's FFK and you that is taking it so personal, why? She did not mention Nigeria not to talk of your tribe or family name. Why the personal insults on Bill and Melinda Gates? Nigerians always want to be famous for the wrong reasons.

Chloroquine Study in Brazil Halted After 11 Patients Died
A Brazilian study that saw 81 coronavirus patients given chloroquine was ended early after some of them developed irregular heart rates, according to The New York Times. Chloroquine is closely related to hydroxychloroquine, which President Trump has promoted as a potential treatment for the novel coronavirus despite little evidence of its efficacy. The Brazilian study in the city of Manaus saw half the study participants given a dose of 450 milligrams of chloroquine twice daily for five days, while the rest were prescribed a higher dose of 600 milligrams for 10 days. Within three days, researchers started noticing heart arrhythmias in patients taking the higher dose. By the sixth day of treatment, 11 patients had died, leading to an immediate end to the high-dose segment of the trial. The researchers said the study did not have enough patients in the lower-dose portion of the trial to conclude if chloroquine was effective in patients with severe disease.
