Funny people.

When did "visa restriction" becomes a punishment?

What's the point of this protest?

There is no "right to school in foreign country".
Stop running and demand good governance!

History555:
Don't count on that. If dangote buys crude oil from multinational he must pay them in dollars. Expatriates must be paid in dollars and considering the number of them he engaged in building the refinery be rest assured expatriates will make up a large proportion of workers. Spare parts will be paid for in dollars. Lastly to ward off effects of unstable naira, dangote will hedge most of his income definitely in dollars

It doesn't matter where Dangote buys crude from.
Him employing expatriates is irrelevant too.

Will Dangote need dollars for some of its operations?
Yes. But that is none of our business.

Innoson source all its parts in dollars.
Yet, he sells in Naira.
Same goes for every manufacturer who source their material from abroad.

Indian refineries buy all its crude from other countries in dollars, yet sell to its populace
in rupees(not dollars).
There is nothing special about dollar beyond international exchange.

Dangote didn't invent refineries and he won't be alone by 2023.

If the business is viable, I expect many Nigerians to also venture into
oil refining because we like "safe" business.

branhampaul:
This is from SaharaReporters; take their news with doubts, and believe until reported by another media outlet.

Is that the new propaganda line?

RuudVanNisteroy:
Minor reduction in forex, the government will still buy from him at the international price in US dollars. The only cost savings is the shipping cost.

No.
Government does not eat fuel.
The populace use it.

People don't buy spaghetti or cement with dollars.
Large marketers(not the government) will buy from Dangote and pay him in Naira.
Then they will distribute to retailers and collect Naira too.

We will be saving close to the amount of forex that we use
Dangote and other developing refineries will save Nigeria the equivalent
amount of dollars we would have used to import their production capacity.

Do people expect any different?

The Dangote advantage is employment, revenue and reduced pressure on forex.
Lower than market prices was never on the table.

dennisworld1:
What's his offense in court the law does not recognize their gods

Trespassing and desecration.

Amotolongbo:
If gods could render him useless, they should have done that instead of the worshippers calling on police to help in arresting him.

But it is totally wrong to desecrate wherever people call their place of worship

Being arrested is actually the better option.
While no gods will act, those particular worshipper are very adept at meting out "justice"
with little to no trace.

Maduawuchukwu:
The concept of Nationalisation is no longer in vogue. The little resurgence it is gaining now is merely a passing phase which will go with Trump and his likes. Countries no longer seek to nationalise, instead they hunt aggressively for foreign investment. Nationalisation na scam.

You are right with the bold.
But we are discussing the past and not the present.

Nationalization sometimes brings economic woes in the long-run but usually very popular at the onset.
It is what the "people" wanted.

IamWonderful:
Politicians, how does FG and Dangote meet? no wonder our refineries refused to work, just to inflict injuries on Nigerians

Would you have said the same thing if a foreign company owns the refinery?
When does it become a crime for a Nigerian to do better than its government?

If you think you can do better, kindly apply for your own license.
The government is hungry for investors.

mandarin:
He can buy below international price. It will be a tripartite agreement with oil producers, FG and Dangote.

That will be indirect subsidy.

knowledgeable:
...And the Yorubas will defend this fulani heartless expliotation to death, because of their hatred to other Southerners and Igbos in particular,... they have been harmered into the matrix where they can only defend the evil that flows out from the Fulanis and nothing else...

Exploitation because the company is owned by a Nigerian?
Your entitlement mentality is sickening.
SMH

GudluckIBB:
So Nigerian Government was actually waiting for Dangote Refinery to Start production.Very Soon Dangote will start lending Money to Nigeria.


Sad Indeed!

What is wrong with the bold?

Maduawuchukwu:
The purpose of the indigenisation decree was bullshit for me. Nigerians were clearly not capable of managing the multinationals present then. If they were capable, they would have founded their own companies.

What you call indigenization is properly termed "nationalization". It was not invented by Nigerians.

It is a very popular concept by countries to assert their independence and control over their resources.

The ability to run a company is not the same as founding one and I have seen no evidence
that Nigerians were grossly incapable.

heendrix:
This is the problem I have with this fucking other gender

Abike or wateva dafuk her name is didn't confirm if it's true or not but as long as she's said it without proofs then it's undoubtedly true cuz she's a girl n girls are always right shey? that aside, the most dissapointing are some moronic guys here to who would come hitting at the pastor without ascertaining the situation

Bunch of pukes

The "impartial" heendrix hates "other gender" because Abike stated her position
without confirmation.

One would expect the "impartial" heendrix to also confirm from "other gender" if
his assumptions are true but he doesn't care.

He has just learn a new vocabulary and feel proud about sharing it.

my best interest to cut of all ties [/b]with her because I can't face what has happened and I'll be hurting myself by deciding to remain friends with her. What do I do?

Critics are most welcome

No need for critics or advice, you already answered your own question.

If you decide to go against common sense, accept full responsibility if it goes south.
Don't become an internet troll to seek revenge.
Some of those bitter boys you see opening different threads and cursing all women for betrayal actually brought
failure on themselves.

ayzTIGER:
Who named you Nigeria?
what does Nigeria mean?

What a meaningless question.
This is the same thing that all members of your group are trained to ask daily.
It seems they think it is some form of intelligent question to use as gotcha.

My answer, who cares?
The people most obsessed with names have psychological issues.

[quote]did your forefathers hear anything Nigeria doing their time?

Your forefathers were actually busy fighting, killing and enslaving their neighbor
who thanks to Nigeria's existence now see themselve as "united".
Even some of this folk are still waging war over land dispute till date despite supposedly
being of the same tribe. We are not unaware of the supremacy and discriminatory policy
adopted by some of these "united" tribes.

The British didn't name themselves British, neither did the Italians.
Your forefathers know nothing about the name you want to give your new eldorado country.
But it doesn't matter since that is not the purpose of a name.

In fact, many of your forefathers would be disappointed that you didn't avenge them but rather hobnobbing with the enemies
and calling yourself as one with them.

Put on your thinking cap and realise there's no Nigeria

You wouldn't ask these inane questions if you took your own advice.
Tell headquarters that you need better propaganda tools, these ones are childish.

AreaFada2:
They do. They were founded by whites and gradually allowed immigrants in under own terms & conditions.

Different groups displaced the local population and took over the lands operating fairly independently.

Who are the whites and who are the immigrants?
Irish, Spanish, Socttish or English?
Perhaps it is the pilgrims, the lutherian or baptists?

By the time the country "United States" exists along with its laws, it is as diverse as any modern country at the time.
Some of the so-called US states were formerly Mexican.

Same with the French. When you think of the French you still think of white majority and they still call the shots.

If "whites" were some disinct united group, we would have had a united "white" empire in history
but we didn't. That is telling.

It doesn't matter who call the shot in France. The majority are in charge, that is fair enough.

Despite the OP labelling the white citizens of France, French.
There are still separatist group who are whites who wants to become independent.

The man who attempted to unite the true "whites" of Europe is the most hated person today.
No one thought to give him a pass that many of them are descended from the Germanic tribe, therefore
should be one nation.

There were Italian, Jewish, Arabian, Etruscan, Gallic, Iberian, British and other races who were roman citizens. But Rome was still about original citizens of Rome on the River Tiber.

The question you should ask is where are the "original" Romans today?
Why we did they abandon their proud history and unity according to the OP for lesser names?

Are there pure Italians with no admixture of disparate ancestry DNA?
The so-called original Romans is a farce as the "original" Rome was forged in blood.

At least in Britain the Welsh & Scots have semi-autonomy. With Scottish independence possible again within 10 years.

It seems you now agree with me that British, Americans and other appelations mean squat in the scheme of things.

Yugoslavia was a troubled giant until they split up. Much happier now. Czechia and Slovakia despite such closeness of culture still split up.

Czechia is as artificial as Slovakia despite the outcome of their split.

Every single country, nation or ethnic group is an artificial creation
regardless of their ethnic composition.
There is nothing divine or supernatural about their existence.
It is not in human nature to want to ruled by others even if they are from the same family line.

Immediately you move out of a village settings with few population, we can no longer
be talking about a group as if they are one.

It takes political, warfare or religious manipulations to get people of two originally different towns
under one leadership even if they belong to the same ethnic group.

Slovakia may fragment in a century time for whatever reason despite them being "Slovaks" today.

My point is that an appeal to ethnic or superficial brotherhood is an invalid argument for secession.
And such request should be outrightly dismissed.

I am not against a group seceding but it must actually work and fight for it.
They should not expect that the present political arrangement would
just dissolve itself because they belong to a different ethnic and cultural groups.
When in reality, there are several faultlines among the self-acclaimed united front.

donestk:
Americans exist

French exist

British exist

The above are generic races


We are Nigerians does not exist.

Over 700 ethnic groups fused into one entity.

Even the British that fused us left the EU.

Truth be told, politicians steal with reckless abandon because they deeply know we dont have a longterm future together.

The worse kind of deceit is self deceit.

Pure lies or should we say deception?

There is no such thing as generic races.

Neither Americans nor British exist as a race.
Not even as a nation.
Have you forgotten that the Scottish want to leave the union of your "British race"
or that a civil war was fought to keep your "American race" together?

A French man these days means nothing as you he could be a White, Black, Asian or Arab.
People learn to live with one another for various reasons.
Those advocating for ethnic-based division understand very little of human history.

Mention any state in any region and I will find you some group who wants to be alone.

We are Nigerians actually exist.
Those who never left their village may not know it, but It is the reality for millions of Nigerians daily.

Kerosenehawker:
Fake story

Thiis is the real story for me

The man entered America on a visiting/tourist visa, overstayed the visa, and then either used fake papers to stay in the US, or engaged in fraud to stay there. He was eventually caught, and deported. The shock of being /deported, plus the fact that he lost a lot of stuff due to his deportation has made him severely depressed, and put hiss mental health in serous jeopardy, hence his story

Of course, there is no chip in his body. Nor is there a chip anywhere else. It's just mental illness. He is exhibiting classic delusional thinking. Probably schizophrenic. Some people with that kind of illness think that there are cameras watching them in their bedrooms, or something funny...

As for the Indian doctors, ether they were typical scammers, or they told him the truth, and he refused to believe it, or they told him a lie to get him off their backs.

Yes, some humans are being chipped, but the day when every human would be chipped is far far off...like the year 2070 or later. I doubt we have the technological capability to follow every human in the world if they were all chipped today. When large swathes of the same America have poor internet coverage.

I may be worng, but the guy has mental illness until proven otherwise.

You are 100% correct.
He was never chipped.
He is just sick and seeks attention instead of psychological treatment.

This man is sick and need psychiatric help.
Why will anyone "chip" him?

He could refuse treatment but couldn't refuse chipping.

Basitelo1:
Feminists where are thou
If na driver dey beat her now una 4 don dey cry n threaten fire and brimstone





Confused bunch of frustrated evening newspapers

Do you also call feminist when male officers beat drivers?

Of course, you don't.
Logic is not a strong point of most plebs.

Kalatium:
Scientific advancement has nothing to do with pussified men. They have smart ones among them but also have more dump and pussified men.

It has everything to do with it.

Only those who can think objectively can contribute to scientific and human advancement.
An "alpha" trolling random women on the internet can hardly be said to be smart.

BTW, dumb men are overwhelmingly alphas, having nothing else to be proud of, they seek to dominate their women to show they are superior.
Give me a random white man and I only need to know its education and IQ to tell you whether he is more likely to claim "alpha" or not.
Give me a group and I will look like a seer.

If you check any shady sites with "white alphas" and anti-women rhetorics, you will find those men as being essentially dumb and unenlightened.
They are usually in the bottom of the ladder and angry at women or other men who are better.
They see themselves as superior because they supposedly have exposed women's secret and are ready to teach them a lesson.

Not all of the "alphas" are dumb though, those sitting at the top exploiting "alpha" rage are smart business people conning money out of angry dumb men.

Of course, these alphas are good at sharing memes or name-calling but nothing else.
They can't type a paragraph without labeling their opponents.

They often talk about "men" as if a man living in trailer parks or his mom basement is the same as a functional and reasonable one in the society.

Are you telling me that all the people in the west are responsible for their advancement?

Yes.
The dumb ones, the group which self-described "alphas" belong, often feel proud for belonging to a working state and I don't begrudge them.

After all, if most people have always voted and supported the dumbest as leaders, the society would have remained stagnant. But the ones who contribute the least are usually at the forefront of claiming superiority and attempting to destroy what they don't understand.

Who do you think make laws in the west?
The dumb guys who can't reason to save their own life?

It is actually the "pussified" men who can analyze complex issues and make decisions based on what is best for the society in the long run.

Farki:
I'm sorry but this is completely wrong, this woman is a grown adult of sound mind who is responsible for her actions. If he promises her such and such and she leaves her job that was her own choice and she should live with it.

Why should any man continue to have a chain around his neck because women still want to retain the privileges gained after the relationship even when there is no written contract?

How does this law come into play when someone has multiple "girlfriends" like this one, will they say he is married to all of them when polygamy is illegal in Canada? If I live with my male friend will I now be "married" to him according to this stupid law?

While a fool and his money will soon part is the case of this rich man because he knew the law.
I agree with you that "automatic" marriage laws with no children or cohabitation is unjust.

Jaqenhghar:
Thays why I laugh when I hear Niggerian men complain about Niggerian women that niggerian girls are hoes and gold diggers. They say they prefer oyinbo. Oyinbo women are caring ... bla bla bla. Una see the story of Emmanuel Eboue then come see this one with many others yet you still parrotting horseshit. O boy stick with naija girls O. Its only in naija you can get a girl pregnant, dissappear for over 30 years, escape responsibility and come back whe you are old to claim the child and society will forgive you

Some of those team foreign Nigerian men actually believe that they will always be poorer than the Oyinbo women
and therefore have little to lose.

Moral of the story if you live in the west.
Never intermingle with someone below your socio-economic level
If you don't want to lose a part of your wealth.
Or better still, do not elevate them to a level that their current job cannot sustain
and make sure you check the cutoff time for automatic marriage.

Jullima:
Watch as they avoid your unbiased post as a plague and continue to delude themselves “western laws favour women” the same laws some men use to get money from their richer female companion.

No need to cry you already know what the laws are, you cannot use a woman to raise your children, use as a companion get her used to a certain lifestyle and discard her like a piece of rubbish when you’re done. If you think no woman deserves your hard earned sweat then don’t bring them into your life and lavish them with gifts, simple. It’s a choice, you can go your own way.

The bold is nonsense and comes from an archaic mentality.
Women aren't some baby-making machine with no choice in the matter.

No one is using a women to raise children in the west.
A woman decides to get pregnant, keep it and stay with the kids.

She could have used tax-funded contraceptives to avoid pregnancy, she could have get a free abortion as millions have done, she could have signed away
her parental rights at birth and be free as a bird.
These are reasonable preventive measures for any sane woman who don't want to make babies can take.

Any woman who got pregnant and gave birth made her choice.
She doesn't deserve any special recognition for such.
She could have signed up as surrogate to earn income as a baby-maker or get a job and not get involved in any sexual relationship whatsoever.

I am not against spousal support on economic grounds. If a person risks a significant part of their wealth for "love", so be it.
However, that has nothing to do with some women making babies or not.

Airell:
What if they have almost equal net worth?

There will likely be no settlement.

Kalatium:
Do you know that years ago i once thought about this?

I always know that the west have the most pussified men in history.
Imagine paying your ex Girlfriend.

For the fact that the judge is a woman she will definitely win the case.

Yeah.
Pussified men who call the shot in almost all human and scientific advancement.
Pussified men who could organize a society where life matters and criminals aren't worshipped.

Just look at what your "alpha" has offered the world and itself.
Oh, I forgot, the greatest achievement of "alphas" is to find a woman to dominate and brag about it.

Personal or societal growth are inconsequential.
SMH

Shame on the unprofessional Igberetv for lifting the allegation of the suspect's ill educated friend as a news item.
What exactly make the herbalist "infamous"?

Lovelyn451:
rape is sexual abuse and assault is also applied during rape...its the same thing

You have no idea.
That is just like saying that fraud and armed robbery are the same thing.

An abuse may not involve an assault and an assault may not involve rape.

That is the simplest way I can explain it.

gambia:
Rapist on the beat.

Stop misusing that word.
There is "abuse", there is "assault" and there is rape.
They are all evil but are not the same thing.
