Air is gas and when gas is compressed it states is fluid.
Air or any other gas is fluid whether its compressed or not. Fluid in plain English simply means no define shape, but takes the shape of its container.

your own image distinguishes fluid from Air. water(fluid), Air(gas)

so what is the state? is fluid-solid? water can be solid when it is ice. you know how to distinguish terms you don't look dumb.

like when you compress gas, it changes form. it will be in fluid state, when you decompress it, it goes back to gas.
Go back to your secondary school and demand a refund if you took any physics class that is. Also English comprehension fees should be refunded.

Gases including air are fluids according to physics. Seems you never heard of Boyle's and Charle's laws.
BusinessRe: How Access Bank And The Court Helped Me To Recover My Money From A Fraudster!!! by wirinet(m): 2:52pm On Sep 29, 2022
shortIGBOman:
This can only happen in the North. You see how things work in the North. The Court you approached is in Kano and the access Bank that helped you recover your money is in Kano too.

This is almost impossible, if it were in the South and if it were in the EAST, just forget your money. Cause you can never recover your money from there. grin

God bless the North for their uprightness.
My thoughts exactly. This can only happen in the North where there is still a bit of compassion and humanity. In the South its all "dog eat dog," syndrome. Everybody aims to use the slightest opportunity to exploit you, not minding if you speak the same language or share the same religion.

quote tucker saying what you just claimed. I will wait.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLb0QeCQF_I
Biden in is out words said there will be no Nordstream 2 and he promise they can take it out. he cannot control Germany to stop using the pipe, and he cannot force Russia to stop pumping gas, what can he do? they can sabotage.
I don't want to hold brief for Biden, but that's how he talks. He said he will remove prosecutor general Viktor Shokin and he "quid quo proed" President Poroshenko to remove him. The difference is that that was the official US government and Europen policy.

If he wanted to stop the Nordstream2 project, he would not need to bomb it clandestinely, he would have pressured Germany and Europe using various economic and diplomatic means. Afterall Trump stopped the project diplomatically and Biden restarted it.
When Biden restarted the Nordstreams project, you guys were up in arms. Now that it had been allegedly sabotage, you guys are also up in arms against Biden.
Russia cannot attack its own Money Cow and Germany cannot stop what keeps them warm. so who did it? If you asking me, I will first look at those saying they will take out the pipeline.
What then will US gain from bombing the pipelines? Yes, it will deny Russia some funds but Russia had indicated that it will turn off the taps by December anyway.
If it was sabotaged, it could be anybody, including the MAGA movement.

You guys are just anarchist. You want to destroy everything, even yourselves.

are you going to cap for the globalist idiots like sheep all your life?

it was bombed, it was sabotaged. and Biden and Nolan have earlier said they will take out that pipeline. it was not a natural leak because evidence has ruled that out and points to sabotage.
Saying he would stop the nordstream pipelines means he would bomb the pipeline?

If Trump days "I grab dem by the pussy", you say it's locker room talk, if he says "fight like hell to take back our country", you will say he meant peaceful protest, but Biden says he will stop the nordstream project, you say he meant he will bomb the nordstream pipelines.

Tucker Carlson has concluded that the Nordstrom pipe bursts was ordered directly by Biden and called for his prosecution without any evidence, even before investigations began on what truly happened.

What sounds irrational is the baseless theory that the January 6th insurrection was organized by the FBI. Even more irrational is the claims that it never happened morphing into the claim that it was organized by the FBI.

The My Pillow CEO is a lunatic who still believes the election was stolen. His phone was confiscated with good reason, there was just cause for it to be taken.
That's their Modus operandi. They throw up all sorts of allegations, some utterly ridiculous. First it was Antifa that stormed the Capitol, then it was peaceful tourists, then it was Pelosi and Capital Police (many of whom were injured or killed), now it's was the FBI that organized it. The irony is that they shy away from making any of Those claims under oath - in court or to Congress. They opposed any actual investigations into January 6, they refuse to come and make those allegations before the Jan 6 commitee. They only make noise on fox and far right media. The same thing with the election lie and the Mara al go raid. That's why I love judge Dearie's order - Provide evidence or shut up.

Hydrogen looks much more promising than EV. I would keep riding my diesel until Hydrogen market is developed with fuel stations everywhere
Hydrogen is the logical fuel of the future. It's the most abundant element in the universe, it is the fuel for the Sun, meaning its the primordial source of all our energy. It's even the hydrogen in hydrocarbons that makes it burn. Best of all, it's byproduct is simply water.

I have been talking about sentimental value of a property or rather the brand name behind it. You accuse Trump supporters of being poor and cannot afford a good life. This kind of reasoning is childish and dishonest at best.. Thats how Hitler started demonizing particular races and to him they were expendable. You can see Joe Biden calling MAGA supporters who come waving patriotic flags as the worst Domestic Violence extremists.
Talk about who had been demonising others? What an irony. The MAGA movement just like most other nationalist movements is predicated on hatred. Hatred of Mexicans, immigrants, Muslims, blacks, leftists, the press, pro abortionists, globalists, anyone not sharing their views or ideas. Without appeal to hate, the MAGA movement would be dead.

Maybe its due to lack of exposure that you uttered so Or its because they did not vote for Obama or maybe you never ever bought any property besides a jalopy. A simple case. If Christian Ronaldo and Samuel Eto’o sold their Buggatis which would fetch a higher price ?
Lack of exposure? Me or you? I am in the construction industry. No property can be valued at 1000% its general estimation value. Estate valuers input sentimental value when making appraisals, they can never be that off the mark.

What's you experience in the property market that you think Mar a lago can be valued over 700 million?

DeepSight:
Completely agree the banks must be partners in fraud, but sometimes the value of a property can radically escalate depending on its history. When a celebrity has lived in a place for example, it can affect the value of the place. And for many (misguided) millions in America, Trump is a cult hero. Just saying.
Agreed there are sentimental value to properties, but 1000% is extra ordinary.
Trump is not the only celebrity that buys and sell properties and his MAGA cult worshippers can never afford to lodge in any of his properties not to talk of buying on, as most are poor disgruntled semi educated blue colour workers.

Besides, that does not explain the over exaggeration of the living spaces.

IjeBos:
Lol. You do understand the NY AG's office looks over probably the center of the World's finance system (Wall St). So she probably has some of the TOP appraisers at her disposal in order to hold BIG NY firms accountable. One clear instance: He listed his apartment at 30,000 sq ft. It was only 10,000 sq ft. Sq footage is not a subjective valuation. And then said his house was worth 300 million. No apartment in NY has ever sold for close to that much in that time frame. I think the most was 100million.
What I don't understand is why do the banks play along with Trump and accept his valuations? And then give loans on these extremely exaggerated valuations.
Any sensible adults would have an idea of property worth within his surroundings. Even without professional estimators and valuers, an average worker can estimate within 50 - 100% of property value within an area. At worst you can check the online property market. That he could get away with almost 1000% inflation is unbelievable.

It's more absurd to inflate property space. Are you telling me the bank's valuers cannot tell the difference between a 10,000 square meters space and a 30000 square meters space just by looking at it? You don't even require a tape rule to differentiate. Imagine Mara a lago being values at 700 million dollars and not even naira.

Those banks needs to be investigated. They must be accomplices in an elaborate money laundering scheme.

You chose what to believe. Why did Mayor of DC and Pelosi reject 10000 National Guard troops on that day? Was it because the feds had already planned with the capitol police to make sure there was violence. In a mob once the ring leader does something mob physchology takes over. There were several people with megaphones urging people to go on They have never been arrested.
Trump told his supporters to go protest at the Capitol Not inside .By the time he was done with his speech Ray Epps gang had already removed the barriers and were about to enter the Capitol, the magnetically locked doors were opened from inside by Capitol police .
Trump saying it will be wild does not mean violence. If I invite you to a wild party what does it mean. Only that you want it to mean according to the way you are intepreting itl.
You can repeat the right wing media lies 1000 times, it can never make it true. Trump never gave anyone orders to deploy the national guard. The defense minister confirmed he received no orders from President Trump on Jan 6.
National Guard is under the control of the executive - president and governor and not under the speaker or even mayor. The president can even deploy the national Guard without the consent of governors in exceptional cases. The speaker has no role in the deployment of national guard.

Trump saying a protest will be wild does not mean violence? What does it mean then? This was a protest where they were shouting "hang Mike Pence" and even transported gallows to the grounds.

Wrong.

The planned event was to protest at the Capitol. Some extremists among the protesters broke in and damaged stuff. There was no grand conspiracy. It was a protest that got out of hand. I condemn the violence but it wasn't organised with violence as the end goal.
Wrong.

The event was a well planned and coordinated coup, designed to stop the certification of election results by Congress.

This was Steve Bannon a day before the January 6 riots.
https://youtube.com/shorts/t7rSZl0u2n4?feature=share


On the day of the protests itself Trump and his close aids cajoled to crowd to enter the Capitol. The speech by Trump and his aids was nothing less that a declaration of war.

Below was Trump's tweet on December 18, three weeks before the January 6 riots. Obviously they anticipated well in advance that it was going to be violent.

So what exactly were the riots for?



Cool, so why won't you condemn violence from BLM and Antifa as I did with the Jan 6 rioters? Why are we arguing in circles here?



Ok, since violence isn't justified. I'm sure as reasonable people we can agree the violence from BLM and Antifa wasn't justified either. I'm sure we can come together to condemn the Jan 6 rioters and the BLM/Antifa rioters, right?


Right?
False equivalence. BLM and Antifa was a protest that turned violent to protest the perceived injustice against blacks expecially after George Floyd was murdered. It had no political undertone as it was not organised by any politician

Jan 6 was organised to stop violently the certification of election results and distrupt the transfer of power to a new government. The goal of the organisers and rioters was to harm the Vice President, the speaker and other legislators who wants to certify the election results. It was in effect a coup to stop the transfer of power. In other countries the organisers and participants would be executed for treason.

Abeg sit down and read your history before speaking.
America was a nation of British want aways, persecuted folks who would not bow to the crown on account of religion. That is its origins.
Australia on the other hand was dumping ground for British castaways, those who will not conform to society where sent there to eternal exile.
See what bothe nations have become today, friends and allies with their former tormentors.
It is not only blacks that have suffered in this world. All humanity has been inhuman to man.

Most blacks think history started in 1887 and that it is only Africa that was plundered and her people enslaved.
How can you compare Australia to Black Africa? Australians see themselves as British migrants with Britain as their home country. The original aborigines has been almost eliminated. Black Africans were seen as slaves and their lands exploited for colonial interests.
Foreign AffairsRe: Did King Charles Ignore A Handshake From A Black Man In Viral Video? by wirinet(m): 1:40pm On Sep 20, 2022
Reference:
America fought a brutal war with Britain between 1775 and 1783 that secured her independence and ended the First British Empire.
Since then America has developed itself to the point that today their President is given special privileges.

Much of Africa meanwhile negotiated its independence in and around the 1960's and ended the second British Empire in the process but has seen a steady decline ever since till the point they have assumed the position of third world nations whose leaders ride the bus.

Instead of introspection, her citizens are still punching at shadows.
In a world where everyone was practically conquered by the British at one time or the other from Asia to the Americas, from the Arctic to the Antarctic, in a world that is all but english speaking, with english customs and traditions dominating, it is only Africa that still cannot surmount this fact of history. Every other continent has moved on and are all bigger and better than the British today except Africa.

The endless whining and groaning and sighing is the clear sign where the problem is.... in the African head, the African mentality that has lent itself to excuses for failure and the inability to take responsibility for becoming great in itself.

I have said it time and again.
Britain did not become Great by excuses. They were overrun by the famous Roman General and Emperor Julius Caesar. Before then the Kelts, Vikings, even the French all at one time in antiquity conquered Britain and enslaved its people. They too fought to become what they are today. I do not see any Briton today hate on these people, the sons and daughters of their former foes for things done in generations past.

WHEN WILL AFRICA LET GO AND BEGIN TO RE CREATE ITSELF TO BECOME GREAT.
Every day of excuses will never move us forward as a national continent of blacks. FACT.
Respect is earned not given. What has black Africa done to earn the respect of other races? Instead we disgrace ourselves both at home and abroad and then expect other to respect us for the sake of pity.

Arabs respect dogs more than blacks, Asians respect cockroaches more than blacks, while are the only ones that tolerate us because of pity.

Per driving ban that is very effective in the UK, how many road users have driving license in Nigeria, to be on the road in the first place, let alone fear a ban?

In another country, you pay a fine, for wrong driving offences. In Nigeria, they sell the car even after going to prison.

Nigeria operates like a mad country.
Meanwhile politicians that cause the terrible traffic situation in the first place by embezzling billions meant for road construction and maintenance are according to the law told to pay fines of a few millions with little or no jail time. They don't realise that embezzlement and corruption kills far more people than traffic offenders.
Nigerian laws are stiff on minor offences by poor people but very lenient on major crimes by the rich and powerful.

Because many Africans are ignorant and mentally lazy. They cannot remove their heads from tribal bigotry to see the global issues affecting the black man worldwide. They do not want to come together because of their selifsh hearts. You will hardly see any positive posts in the media about what African is doing right. Even Seun, the owner of this website will allow posts to degrade "black women" on the front page, not realizing these types of things further add to the division of the black race. You cannot be strong if you are divided.
Gbam. You just summed up all the problems blacks face with one word - Division.

Division was the tool the slave merchants used in enslaving black Africa not conquest.

Division was the tool colonialists uses in colonising and govern Black Africa.

And Division is still the tool the neo-colonalists used to control Africans resources post independence.

The divisions are so ingrained that it's difficult to unify to achieve a common purpose. The division was created among tribal, religious and class lines.

Old is relative... to continue to ascribe subsaharan Africa's present failures to the slave trade & subsequent colonial times is disingenuous & an excuse for African rulers to continue to fleece the masses.

Neocolonialism exists because Africans continue to show that they have little regard for themselves.
Even I feel we should have gone beyond slavery to start building modern societies, it is sad that we have not. The effects of slavery is still ingrained in our sub-consciousness. This is further reinforced through religion, education, language and economy.

We need to undergo psychological evaluation and evolution. Just like someone who endured decades of mental and physical abuse would need psychological treatment to be able to function properly in society.

We are still suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, where we are hopelessly dependent on our colonisers.

Understatement of the century. Ask student that studied in Ukraine whether Ukrainians are racists. When the Russian invasion started black Africans were not allowed on trains going to border towns and some had to trek hundreds of kilometres to get to bordering countries.

The government of Russia obviously cannot be racist, just like any other government cannot openly exhibit racism. But government officials and ordinary people display their racism, particularly outside the capitals and main cities.

The below is unrelated, but I decided to share with all anyways - especially for those “exporting” the rot in Nigeria to foreign lands.

"Up Till About 25 Years Ago, Singer Nigeria Limited had Factories In Nigeria where They Produced Television Sets, Radios, Refrigerators, Standing Fans, etc.
Singer Had A Unique Corporate Marketing Strategy.
They Didn't Sell On Cash-And-Carry But On Credit To Their Wholesalers.
I Don't Know The Reason For This Strategy Though.

Soon, Nigerians Began To Apply As Whole Sellers Using Fake Business Names And Addresses.
Many Would Pack The Products And Never Paid Up As And When Due.
By 1996, Singer Went Down And Closed All Her Factories In Nigeria!

At The Cocoa Industries Limited, Ikeja, As The Company Was At The Verge Of Closing Down Completely, I Met The Last MD Of The Company.
As At That Time, Himself, His Driver And Four Security Men Were The Reminant Members Of Staff Of The Company.

I Asked What Led To The Terrible State Of The Company At The Time When There Was Increase In The Consumption Of Cocoa Products.
He Narrated His Experiences In All The Oodua Groups; How The Various MDs, GMs And Managers Would Collude With The Drivers And Security Men To Load Products Out Without Proper Entries.

How Those Goods Were Delivered To Oga's Concubines In Different Towns And Cities Who Would Never Remit The Proceeds To The Company.
Of All The Over 150 Companies Wholly Owned By Oodua Group, None Is Functioning Again As At Today.

Only Those Companies Where Oodua Jointly Owned With Others Are Working.
When Next You Are Worried About The Serlous State Of Affairs In Nigeria, Maybe Some Children Need To Ask Their Parents To Sincerely Tell Them The Sources Of The Money They Used To Build Their Various Houses.

You May Need To Know The Sources Of Their Wealth. Is Their Wealth Part Of The Over-Invoicing Or Non Invoicing Of Products And Services? Ask Them, Was It Part Of The Shared "Annual Unspent Budget"?
The Ruination Of Nigeria Didn't Begin In One Day. It Didn't Start With PDP Or APC, JOnathan or BUhari. It Was Through Minute Indiscipline, Deliberate Impunity, Arrogant Exercise Of Power, Ineptitude And Greed.”

The Indiscipline, Impunity, Arrogant Exercise Of Power, Ineptitude And Greed Still Continue Till Today, Not Till We Look Inward And Change Our Ways, We Will Never See The Nigeria We Hope For.

All The Countries We're Running To Are Not Better Than Nigeria, It Is The People That Are Better Than Us.

Let Us Change Our Ways, And We Will See The Nigeria We Hope For.
Thanks For Your Time.
Unbelievable. I had thought your only compulsive obsession was Donald Trump first, the MAGA wing of the Republican Party and finally right wing media. That you could come back to mother land and focus on our own problems is quite impressive.

This post summarises all that's wrong with Nigeria. Its the people themselves and not necessarily our leaders - be it political, religious or traditional rulers. Afterall leaders are gotten from the people and they represent the character and aspirations of the people. Any religious leader that promotes real values like honesty, selflessness and integrity would quickly become unpopular. Those that promote vain primordial values of greed, selfishness and even narcissism become popular and is quickly pushed up the leadership ladder.

What we need at this critical junction is a moral reset, a moral revolution. We need to stop promoting and celebrating unmerited wealth. We need to start rejecting criminals rather than rewarding them with awards, positions and fame. We need to go back to the days when a good name is better than gold.

British people sha Well. All the monies made during colonialism dint just disappear it went into their society nhs budget is 100 billion pounds. That’s more than our entire budget for years. Just thier health ministry o

. It was common for most British people to say I have a family member working in Nigeria Ghana. India. Egypt Gambia etc. all over the world. During colonialism. Before almagamation they had underground train tracks with almost modern trains , while they built coal trains for Africans and Indians They exploited everything. In fact as founding members of UN. and other financial institutions they made it hard for countries to get assess to finance, if any, these finance loans comes with weird clauses like thier engineers or companies do the construction etc

They watched on as Rwanda killed themselves. Them and France oversaw the killing of prominent Africans All them lumumba, Sankara ,khadafi Them and Americans exploited the most beautiful place in the world “the Congo” they turned the country inside out. They saw Mobutu do what he did nothing happened



Inall these they are far better than Asians. Asians treat Africans with utter brazen contempt.
When I lived in Bristol I saw an Asian man hit a little black kid maybe aged 10 or so. I challenged the situation immediately. He feigned apology the moment he saw the type of car I alighted from. Anyways I made sure the police came. But this is something you can’t stop he will do it again or some other Asian will. But they won’t dare hit other Asians or whites, never. Rich Niger or poor nigger. You re still a nigga

After living and staying abroad you only know that our only point of rally is our skin colour. We must unite and build a strong nation . People like Buhari lawan etc have no business leading. Because they re weak. The Chinese have puppet govt in Pakistan Bengali Nepal and may African countries now. The Chinese can just wake up tomorrow to burn Nigeria to the ground. We can’t protect our selves. If no country comes to our aid that’s it. They will burn Nigeria while we squabble between youruba and Igbo. In the eyes of foreigners they only see the black skin.

I wonder how people don’t know this.
The bolded is the crust of the matter. As long as we neglect and destroy our country while hoping to take sojourn in the countries of our colonial exploiters will only make us perpetual slaves. I lived in the UK and the US very briefly, and I could not stand the way we were denigrated. Forget life is not only about materialism, else wealthy nations like Japan won't have such a high suicide rate. You have to have pride and dignity as a human being.

As you said the Asians and the Arabs including the Jews despise the black skin even more than the western Europeans. Eastern Europeans racism is in another league.

WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD BE DONE IN A CASE OF A TRAFFIC OFFENSE SUCH AS DRIVING ALONG 'ONE WAY' WHICH RESULTED TO LOSS OF LIFE DUE TO ACCIDENT.
The driver should be charged for manslaughter, the car should be fined appropriately and returned to the owner.

Whether he drove one way, drunk while driving or drove dangerously, once a life was involved, the driver should be prosecuted for manslaughter.

Is this one of the achievement that tinubu is bragging about?Why will Lagos state government seizes someone's car and sold it out because he violates traffic rules? Meanwhile government officials who drive in convoys are worst in breaking traffic rules.But they are never arrested.
Na only Government officials? You don see Lagos State officials seize and auction big man car before? In Nigeria laws apply only to the poor and helpless. Have you seen Lagos State government impound a N40,000,000, 2021 Toyota Venza before? Na only Toyota Camry and danfo busses wey poor man dey take hassle you them dey dey after.

There is no need to confuse yourself here. It's like we are saying the same thing till you made another turn.

The thing is, Lagos trafic law was violated and vehicles were towed and the owners will pay to get their cars back as it's done all over the world. So tell me did Lagos not give them the option to get their cars back for fees?

Please be clear, what did Lagos do differently?
Lagos State Government officials have been telling us that the law for driving against traffic (one way) is forfeiture and auction of vehicle as well as one year imprisonment of the driver. I am yet to see the edict passed by the Lagos State Assembly to support the law. (Even though it would be unconstitutional if it did so)

Now, I have no problem with the one year imprisonment of the driver, but why punish the owner of the vehicle for a crime he knows nothing about?
I have 3 vehicles plying Lagos roads everyday. Even though I put it in their ears everyday to obey traffic rules, why will the Lagos State Government confiscate my vehicle if one of the drivers decides to go rogue? If it was to be a reasonable fine. I would pay the fine and deduct it from the drivers salary, but how would I deal with the impounding of my car?
Don't forget there might be all sorts of obligations on the car - Loan, lease, insurance, etc.
