Are you that dumb to believe muslims & Christians lived together in peace during Assad? So where did ISIS operate from? Assad that was systematically killing his own people and enriching his family.
madridguy: This is what the US has brought upon Syrians. Under Bashar Al-Assaad, both Muslims and Christians are living together as brothers and sisters in peace and harmony.
But muslims, hamas, ISIS, boko haram & hezbollah love christians so much. Coming from a sensible person where Christians are massacred weekly in the middle belt by islqmic extremists
One day you'll misplace something very valuable to you and somebody will find it and forget it in their wallet. So that you'll this day of making excuse for an ill thought behavior
jaymoney1: This situation is deeply unfortunate and highlights a broader issue around fairness and empathy in the workplace. Janet Damiro made an honest mistake, not a malicious act. After years of dedicated service, dismissing her over a forgotten bracelet seems harsh and lacking in compassion especially for an elderly worker nearing retirement. The narrative being spun online ignores the context and humanity of the situation. It’s crucial we advocate for fair treatment, especially for vulnerable workers who have given so much with so little recognition
You returned it on your own abi. Taking a work related gadget home mistakenly is quite different from picking another person's item from the floor.
rafcrown: I once forgot body worn camera after shift.I discovered it after leaving the premises.I went back immediately I discovered it but they already closed all the doors.Then, I decided to go and return it the following day. They reported it to the office and I explained. I returned it the following day and that was the end. Some evil minded people would have reacted to it differently.
The varsity is kind to her based on her age & past history. If not issues of thefts goes with dismissal & pressing of charges. Some mumu people are here talking about racism, are some people so dumb. No wonder Nigeria nor dey beta, the population of stupid people outweighs the sensible ones
nifemi25: This is nothing but a friction.... So the so called billionaire doesn't have name right ? Believe everything you see on internet at your own risk
EU, one of the most useless organizations in the world, that's why the UK left. Small countries are oppressed with policies by bigger ones. Whilst the small ones leech the bigger countries. Senseless union
Nobody is holding Palestinians, they fail to develop their land instead decided to exist only to destroy Israel. Now Trump is around, no more US money going to UNRWA
P1PrinceKT: 👉What Israel is asking is Hamas should release the hostages dead or alive. (Which Hamas may agree) . 👉What Palestinians are asking is self determination(Which Israel may not agree) If you feel Palestinians do not deserve self determination you're a hypocrite.
They're not just finding out, it's just to counter the accusations of cognitive decline during his 4 years presidency.[quote author=fergie001 post=135420309][/quote]
Marking steps as been as long as WAEC, there is no time only the final score was marked
Eriokanmi: The best they can do is reduce the admission cut off scores for universities and ensure every institution complies. Since the result is so bad as seen, the worst in decades, jamb should just reduce university admission cut off for major curses to 150. Let the post UTME now decide who's capable enough to earn a slot in their respective courses of study.
Seriously, I don't see any big deal in this. In my time, if you scored 220 for instance, you're a guru. This was before the advent of the Internet. Their marking scheme was so strict. If you don't understand any question, just leave it jejelly because if you attempt it wrongly, your mark would be deducted from those you got correctly. Waec back then wasn't easy to come by. If you managed to have an A in core subjects, na celebration galore. Combination of waec results used to be order of the day, even for major courses. In brochures you'd see 5 o'level credit passes at a sitting or 6 credit passes in 2 sittings. Nothing like post utme. Even in law, P was allowed in maths.
But nowadays, you see students scoring As all through. Marking schemes had been adjusted over time to favour a particular region or tribe, which is part of what's affecting the standard of education in Nigeria. In maths for instance, those marking waec back then would be interested only in the final answer. If the workings were supposed have 5 steps and you got the last answer wrongly, especially where they're asking you to round off your answer to the nearest whole number and you got it wrongly, they'd not spare you, except the marker just wanted to show mercy on you and used his pen to help you write the correct answer, then, mark it. Otherwise you'd miss the whole question and that's the reason we hardly saw candidates who had an A1 in maths back then. But nowadays,maths marking schemes are in steps same as other subjects that involve calculations. Even if you got the final answer wrongly but you got the steps correctly, you'd still earn some marks.
I wish we could go back to that era. Our system of education can be overhauled if they could start from that level.
Claiming to have left one slavery, swimming inside another slavery😎. Clown. We know it's Russia that's emboldened him. No African leader can actually stand on his own, they are all puppets to a foreign power[uote author=WriterNig post=135306483]
One is intelligent, the other is stupid. It's that stupidity that was indoctrinated in people in the North. Now northern Nigeria is the home of boko haram, banditry & lawlessness
After they'll tell you that white people are our main trouble. Yet people like Babangida, Abacha, Gadaffi, Mugabe, Bongo, Olango, etc, don't want to let go of power without meaning contributions to basic development
When Israel said Hamas has bases in mosques, schools, hospitals, etc, some of una nor believe abi. Most Islamic terrorists major hideout is the mosque because they know security agents wouldn't want to search mosques for criminals. Most of the terror attacks are planned in mosques
How will a grown up sensible man not know the profession of his socalled friend? So what's the meaning of friendship?
Truths9ja: “Hushpuppi lived life, he’s my friend. Some people are happy to ball for 5 years & that's it. My prayers go out to him. He's coming out soon”
China will use her socalled private investors to buy large shares in foreign manufacturing companies. Then they use same investors to cunningly buy majority of the shares or better still run the company to the ground. All to reduce competition for their companies in China
So all the missiles the houthis have fired to Israel is targeted at commerce abi. Slowly Allah by himself naim dey punish una with violence & endless wars
Asonaijaaso: The Houthis view themselves not as rogue actors, but as guardians of Islamic solidarity—particularly when Arab regimes normalize ties with Israel while Gaza burns. From their perspective: • Moral Obligation: They believe silence = complicity. To them, defending Palestine is not an option but the right thing to do. • Pan-Islamic Resistance: They see Gaza as part of a broader Ummah under siege, aligning themselves with a resistance axis (Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas). • Asymmetric Deterrence: With no air force or navy, Houthis use Red Sea disruption as non-lethal pressure—targeting commerce, not civilians. • Neglected Frontline: With other Arab states muzzled or pacified, the Houthis claim the mantle of active resistance left behind by wealthier nations. • Martyrdom Culture: Their ideology romanticizes standing with the oppressed—Palestinians symbolize that to them.
Only women & children naim dem dey announce die whenever these terrorists are bombed. And some people with sensible brains nor dey see tru this obvious bullshit😡
South Africa could lose its United States consulate in Johannesburg if the city changes the name of Sandton Drive to Leila Khaled Drive.
On Thursday, 13 March 2025, a motion to rescind renaming Sandton Drive to Leila Khaled Drive was dismissed after a vote during a council meeting.
Many councillors claimed that the process of renaming Sandton Drive was fraught with problems, including questionable support from residents.
These councillors argued that the city should focus on service delivery instead of wasting money on vanity projects like name changes.
They added that thousands of residents and businesses in Sandton opposed the change and that it was highly controversial.
However, other Johannesburg councillors supported the name change, arguing that it shows support for Palestine.
Most of the City of Johannesburg councillors voted against the motion to rescind the renaming of Sandton Drive to Leila Khaled Drive.
US RESPONSE
Joel Pollak, the frontrunner to become the United States Ambassador to South Africa, warned that this name change could have severe consequences.
It will see the United States close its consulate in Johannesburg, which is located at 1 Sandton Drive in Sandhurst.
“The consulate will be closed and not be reopened. It will not be moved and go to another office. The United States will not do business with Johannesburg,” he said.
Pollak added in a post on X, “Helpfully, the renaming would create another savings for DOGE: close the consulate.”
WHO IS LEILA KHALED
Leila Khaled is a controversial freedom fighter for Palestinian rights and a former Palestinian militant and member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
Khaled gained prominence after her role in the TWA Flight 840 hijacking in 1969 and one of the four simultaneous Dawson’s Field hijackings the following year.
She was imprisoned for the hijackings but was released in a prisoner exchange for civilian hostages kidnapped by other PFLP members.
The ANC is an ally to Palestine. Since the 1950s, the ANC has enjoyed strong ties with the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO).
Last year, the ANC in the City of Joburg Council, supported by the EFF, proposed renaming Sandton Drive to Leila Khaled Drive.
The ANC’s first deputy secretary general, Nomvula Mokonyane, was particularly keen on the name change.
She reportedly said, “We want the United States of America embassy to change their letterhead to Number 1 Leila Khaled Drive”.
“We are sending a message that they cannot dominate us and tell us what to do. It must be in their face, it must be in their computers, in their letterheads,” she is quoted as saying.
IMPLICATIONS OF CONSULATE CLOSURE
Should the name change go through and the consulate closes, as Pollak warned, it will greatly impact South Africans.
The United States Consulate in Johannesburg provides consular services in Gauteng, Free State, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, and North-West Provinces.
These services include helping Americans with emergencies and assisting them with documents like passports and reports of birth.
The Consulate helps non-Americans, mostly South Africans, with non-immigrant and immigrant visas to the United States.
South Africans will have to travel to Cape Town and Durban to get the services they currently receive from the United States consulate in Johannesburg.
