That says it all.

SpecialAdviser:
Education is really not golden. So because she is appointed for Diaspora Affairs, she cannot protest for happening in Nigeria? Those who protested black lives matter for George of USA in London are mad then.

See I do not really care who you are and will not descend so low to call you skull miner or any other derogatory statement. But the earlier you learn how to use your brain, the better for you. I maintain Abike is a f.o.ol who cares only about abroad and never interested in her country. Many Nigerians politicians are like her and am sure you will be the same if given a chance.

You appear unstable.
After being corrected that the woman is doing her job you shifted the goalpost that she should
protest against what is happening in Nigeria under the same government she represents.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the inanity of such a request.

In case you are actually educationally disadvantaged to not understand basic organization.
It is not the duty of a procurement officer, for example, to protest business development let alone
every problem in the organization.

After calling the woman stupid, you decided not to descend so low. Wow, that is so honorable of you.

“I never expected the behaviour and the attitude of people living in the forests, the bandits, whose behaviour is worse than that of animals. In the forest, a lion or a tiger kills only when it is hungry and it doesn’t kill all animals, it only kills the one it can eat at a time."

You guys still don't get it.
What kind of humans live in the forest?

Bandits are criminals and terrorists.

They should never have been allowed to migrate freely in the first place.
But because they speak similar language as yours and also own cattle, you welcomed them with open arms.

The bandits have now made Nigeria their home and are bringing in more of their kinsmen every day to continue
their war of conquest and subjugation.
The worst is yet to be seen.

Okay.

YorubaKinging:
He didn't die of coronaVirus

These politicians are just being repayed for all thier human sacrifices they've offered

But the most wicked amongst them will live longer so that they can see their children die one by one while they live

E.g tinubu and obasanjo

Your sick rantings have started again.
Now that your Covid end time scare is no longer working, you
have changed strategy.

China and low quality materials are like 5 and 6.

Airplanes are not so different from submarines. Both involve structures that have to withstand a stark difference in pressure and temperature outside and in.
So how can a woman breaks aircraft window just like that from the inside?

China doesn't make aircraft.
The name of the plane is clearly stated in the article but how would a
lazy person know

Agboriotejoye:
Don't be like that. What he wrote is also fact. BLM is a Democrat party offshoot.

He started well but ended very badly.
Being a Democrat doesn't preclude anybody from forming, joining, or funding another organization.
By making this statement, you actually went against the message of the anonymous "professor" that
blacks shouldn't be seen as being incapable of solving their own problems.

BLM was formed by people of color and not a Democratic offshoot.
A fellow here also claimed that blacks don't care about police brutality or injustice but it is
Democrats that are forcing them to act.
Of course, he didn't realize that he just stripped African-Americans of their humanity.

This would have made little sense if Democrats are trying to win over black voters in general elections
but that isn't the case. Blacks already vote Democrats and thanks to the union-supporting stance of the
Democratic party, that isn't about to change Floyd or no Floyd.

They simply shout, scream and cause confusion.

Shouting, screaming, and causing confusion helped pushed the passing of the civil rights act
by making the status quo then appear untenable and unreasonable to many who hitherto sat on
the fence.

What they really want nobody knows. Obama was a black man who occupied the white house. While he was there, BLM began. But you know the funny thing.

That's not how it works.
Obama's election was never about what benefits black Americans will get from him.
He would never have been elected or re-elected if he is seen as just a black president out to help blacks.

The only thing of note he ever did for the black community was to sing Amazing Grace at a black victim's funeral.

You are wrong.
I wouldn't defend Obama for personal reasons but his presidency actually benefited blacks
in more significant ways that you presented.
For example, he gave clemency more than a thousand non-violent offenders majority of whom are blacks.

It's just like our south south brothers asking Buhari for fiscal federalism and resource control when a GEJ did five years as president and did nothing towards that.

This analogy doesn't follow.
GEJ cannot give fiscal federalism, neither can Buhari.
There is a limit to the political capital that any president can pull.
Those asking are likely political illiterates. The highest they could
ask is that he shouldn't oppose it on principle.

Moreover, unlike Nigeria, there is no IG to dictate all police affairs for example.

You stated that you don't know what BLM wants but it is pretty clear that they want
to create awareness to lopsided injustice and also make it costly for law enforcement or
regular folks to openly discriminate.

I can't be a member of BLM for the reason that there are more effective ways of driving change
and more important issues but it will be wrong to dismiss their campaign as meaningless.

The majority of the article sticks to professionalism.

But it is a shame that the solid message was soiled by the common
drivel usually promulgated by Trump's worshipper.

So much for a professor of history that can't separate emotions from facts.

Investnow2017:
Cameroon has just recorded over 1,183 new cases today with 64 deaths.
South Africa yesterday recorded 4,302 new csses with 57 deaths, even as the global tally today passes 8,000,000 confirmed cases! It doesn't appear the game is over yet. Sad

Well, Coronavirus is the new normal.

walex2:
He doesnt have a certificate but he was NLC president for 8 years. be deceiving yourself, he worked in Nigerian textile industry and rose to the position of factory manager without a certificate?

Yes. He doesn't have a certificate.

Coronavirus is wrecking havoc everywhere.

Given that Trump was voted for MAGA and MAGA only, Trump has achieved nothing so far.
The killing of Baghdadi is irrelevant as ISIS wasn't operating in the US to begin with.

seborrhic:
This is most probably a true story.
It must have been leaked by the people in the first lady's office,close aides of hers or even she herself.
But the fact is that this story may not have come to light if the current power play between her and the Tunde "Idiagbon" didn't occur.
She and others in the know would have kept quiet and allowed the looting to go ahead.
It's a revelation or leak not borne out of any patriotic duty or aim to deter corruption but simply out of vendetta and blackmail.

Does it matter why a thief was outed?
If you want to support looters, be bold about it.

When the invading bandits were freely kidnapping in the south, you guys claimed they are Nigerians
and can operate anywhere.
Why not have a brother to brother talk?

Only fools think criminals are their brothers because when they are done with strangers,
they will take their business back home.

jidamsel43:
Which danger.

In my area in Lagos , people don't care about any Covid-19 .

Government and doctors are just deceiving Nigerians with closure of schools.

Children have been going to markets without social distancing

children have been attending lessons without social distancing. Many lessons have more than 50 pupils in attendance. You will be surprise to find almost ten pupils sitting on a bench .

Schools that are organized are closed while markets that have no guidelines or regulations are opened.

You won't understand until you or someone you know has an emergency medical condition.
People have been dying because health workers are avoiding the very sick.

jidamsel43:
The whole family initially rejected it but when we discovered the advantages of the union, we quickly gave our consent.

It is all about the Benjamins.
SMH

What a fool.
She should first lock up the stupidity which makes her believe in children's myth.
Well, if not for people like this woman, scammer spiritualist must find another job to survive.

phemmyutd:
So far the government is not borrowing to pah salary, it's a hood investment. Go and ask why America is in such unexplainable debt despite their resources

America is on a decline due to massive debt, their politicians know it but can't agree on a way forward.
You just can't see it yet.

No.
That will be a bad move if intended to be permanent.

spinreel:
If you check my comments; that's amongst the things I have been implying. People don't seem to understand the intricacies of this action by APC.
Obaseki might not return as governor, but APC is done

Legally, it doesn't matter.
It is just like employing a thief.
Their engagement ends when discovered not before.
Also, it doesn't affect the company.

That's a dangerous game.
Obaseki could head to court and cause more trouble.

Fake news.
There is nothing spiritual about the occurence.

None.
The only penalty there is is the one in your mind.

lafiagi007:
In that case, you're most likely a failure too.

Your statement is meaningless.
I don't work for you, neither did I promise you any result that you could use to appraise me.
If you think you are a failure, then that is your problem. Don't project.

Seeing someone as a failure or success depends on which of the two you focus on, if people should focus on your failures and conceal your successes, you'll be seen as a failure even if you're successful and vice-versa.

Your argument is fallacious.
What people exactly?
The people losing their lives to bandits daily in the North-West and Central?
The people whose purchasing power is being erroded?
Or the Npower beneficiaries?

In this case, most Nigerians, especially from the east are not concerned about his achievements, rather his failures.

It is not that complicated, is it?[/quote]Who are those concerned about his achievements?

You seem incapable of handling complexity.
Issues are hardly black and white but that doesn't mean that we can't pass judgement either way.
Yes, someone can be evil even if they do some good.

JAMO84:
I can confirm that this is true in Borno and Yobe. Sometimes, it's twenty four hours straight.

If you don't live in any of those two states, please don't quote me with your miserable ignorance. I have zero tolerance for wailers tonight.


I AM DONE TALKING

How many places do you live in Borno and Yobe?
You lied and then tell people not to quote you.

contigiency:
Unfortunately you sounded vague. What's exactly point please?

Unfortunately, I can't help you if you don't get it.

Olominira:
The Nigeria govt needs an holistic national orientation for all her citizens especially the young people like myself. Buhari is one of the most intelligent leaders in Nigeria and Africa at large even though his weaknesses are very obvious.

When people compare Buhari to a Dumb racist spearheading things over here, this shows people lack basic understanding of things. He called Buhari lifeless, just because he refused to sign a free trade agreement with the US. He thought Buhari lacks basic understanding of economics.

While shouting China...China...China,..... and all the tweeting and noise. Tesla moved a whooping of $250bn to Shanghai to build Tesla Gigantic Auto plant. A big step towards America becoming importer of Tesla cars just Apple phones, GM, etc.

Buhari, the so called dullard, secured deals with same China to set up a train assembly plant and a University in Nigeria. A step towards industrialized Nigeria. If not for weak institutions in Nigeria, Buhari's performance would be making global headline news.

You are right about the misplaced Chinese hysteria spearheaded by Trump
and propagated by his worshippers here in Nigeria.

However, just because Trump is a fool doesn't make Buhari an intelligent man.
Borrowing to fund infrastructure isn't a new invention requiring any sort of intelligence.
It is as old as modern civilization itself.

Moreover, nobody is a total failure.
Therefore, one or two success does not wipe away glaring failures.

dammy222:
Prices should be regulated as is being seen in other countries. Some businesses charge very high prices, they need to be checkmated.

Prices should never be regulated.
Countries that regulate the prices of goods and services will end up in poverty in the long-run.


There is no such thing as "very high prices".
If you don't like it, don't buy it.

freeDR:
Someone must be enormously stupid not to know that these fraudsters are one of the reasons Nigerians are treated with disdain and disrespect overseas.

He is one of them.
He is trying to deflect blame from his comrades.

fkj950ax:
So it is right for Commercial Buses to hike the fare when it rains or when traffic is gangster?

Yes, it is.
It is even more ridiculous that some people want the government to reduce cable TV subscription
because the "price is too high".
People who wants price-fixing should set-up their own company or move to North Korea.

The definition is from Wikipedia and most economic textbook

The source does not matter.
Defining a concept doesn't impose a moralistic value upon it.

The market should be allowed to regulate itself.

pansophist:
Where have you been during the Huawei saga, when Washington gave all manners of baseless accusation to the Chinese tech giant and Europe had to sanction Huawei too just because US said so?

Don't ignore the fact that EU security is largely in the hand of pentagon through NATO, hence, there is no European army as suggested by Macron? America got Europe by the balls, and that's a fact.

Actually, EU security is not in the hands of the pentagon.
The US is not in Europe to defend Europe. Everyone knows this.
European populace is largely pacifist and will likely oppose a European army.
Who exactly is going to invade Germany, France or Belgium?
Is it Russia, China, North Korea, or Iran?

The EU did not outright ban Huawei as requested by the US despite the fact that the EU
independently hate China because of its system of governance and its citizens
hates being spied. That's very telling of the EU stance.

In fact, Huawei 5G has been rolled out in many European countries.

It is up to individual European countries to set their own policy on the Huawei issue.
