Let's say a trade war breaks out between Nigeria and Ghana under an APC-led istration, would opposition parties like the LP or PDP side with Ghana simply because they oppose the APC?

Recently, I came across numerous anti-American rants on TikTok—likely from liberals—cheering for China in the U.S.-China trade war. Many argued that U.S. manufacturing is beyond revival, that America is doomed to lose, and that China is decades ahead. The sheer volume of these posts was unsettling, making me wonder if TikTok functions as a Chinese propaganda tool. Why else would there be so much anti-American content dominating the platform?

Is it wrong for America or any country to prioritize reviving manufacturing and boosting domestic productivity rather than relying heavily on imports for essential goods? Shouldn’t nations strive for self-sufficiency in critical commodities

Is public criticism of the Chinese government common in China?

I personally know a couple of nurses that are low key into hookup.I have a few of them as acquaintances and I found out that they keep multiple sexual partners , for people who work in the health sector, I have no idea why most of them I have encountered are sexually loose .
This surprised me, as I hadn't expected it based on their profession

I'm curious why (Japa) living and working in another country is seen as a big accomplishment in many black countries, especially Nigeria. What more do they have there besides good healthcare, infrastructure, and institutions? Does it suggest that black people living in Africa face poverty, lack of basic needs, poor health, and inadequate housing?

What was the average life of black people like before they had with the West, colonialism, and displacement by Europeans?

My mechanic found a leak under the car that needed to be sealed. I'm glad he discovered it because the leak was the main reason for the oil shortage. He fixed it this evening by removing the bottom plate, sealed the leak, changed the oil and filter, and now it's good to go.

WHAT'S THE STANDARD ENGINE OIL MARK LEVEL


This morning, I inspected the engine oil of a '08 Camry (Spider) that I just started using last month. I realized that I haven't changed the oil since I bought the car, and after calling my neighbor to help confirm the level, he informed me that the engine oil is low. I'm quite anxious now, as the car is still very clean and well-maintained.

I haven't started the car since today and I'm thinking of bringing a mechanic to my compound to do Oil change .

The engine of the car still good like this so ??

WHAT'S THE STANDARD ENGINE OIL MARK LEVEL

I had a heated argument with a girl I've been seeing for a few months the other day. She called me, saying she was hungry. Typically, I would respond to such a request, but that particular day, my Opay was having issues. She then started accusing me, saying I wasn't taking care of her, despite the fact that she owns a fashion design shop and is financially independent. I told her that I'm only obligated to take care of her if she were living under my roof, and that she lives alone and her family is close by. She got angry and accused me of not loving her, even though I do give her some stipends like 10-15k from time to time. I responded that she has parents and was taking care of herself before I met her. If she is my wife then that's different.

My question is "are you obligated to take care of a girlfriend?

I've been pondering a question for a while now:

Is there a difference in strength and overall health between individuals of African descent living in Africa compared to African Americans?

Additionally, I'm curious about the life expectancy within African American communities in the United States.
In Nigeria, there's a common assumption that because we eat more natural foods compared to people in developed countries who mostly consume processed foods and junk, we should be healthier.

Does anyone here have any insights on these topics?

I'm in a dilemma about whether to purchase a well-maintained Nigerian used Ford 2103 Focus or a Toyota Spider. I'd like to hear your opinions on which car you think is more worthwhile. The Ford is more affordable, but the cost of a good used Nigerian Spider seems exorbitant.

The Ford is 2.7, owner wants to travel out while the Camry is 3.8

It’s impossible for me to look at the photos of families killed – such as the mother, father, and three small children murdered as they sheltered in their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz – and not think of my own children,” said Blinken.

“This was just one of Hamas’s countless acts of terror – in a litany of brutality and inhumanity that, yes, brings to mind the worst of ISIS. Babies slaughtered. Bodies desecrated.

“Young people burned alive. Women raped. Parents executed in front of their children, children in front of their parents,” Blinken said.

How are we even to understand this, to digest this?”

The death toll in Israel sured 1,300 people on Thursday, most of them civilians, as authorities continued to find and identify human remains in a number of Gaza border towns overrun by Hamas.

In a conversation with Biden on Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the president: “They took dozens of children, bound them up, burned them and executed them. They beheaded soldiers, they mowed down these youngsters who came to a nature festival.”

In his own comments in Tel Aviv on Thursday alongside Netanyahu, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed that he had viewed harrowing images of the atrocities.

The heated debate, in particular on X, over some reports that babies had been decapitated by Hamas terrorists, appeared to spark pushback from both US and Israeli officials, who repeatedly detailed the litany of shocking crimes.

“I’ve been doing this a long time. I never really thought that I would see, have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children,” US President Joe Biden said in comments with US Jewish leaders at the White House on Wednesday evening.

The White House later said the president had not seen pictures or confirmed such reports independently, but had based his comments on various media reports citing Israeli officials.

Netanyahu’s office releases horrifying images of infants murdered by Hamas
Spokesman for prime minister says the decision to share shocking photos was made ‘so that the world will see just a fraction of the horrors that Hamas carried out’

The PMO said the photos released were some of what was shown earlier Thursday to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, adding that they are “difficult-to-see images of babies murdered and burned by the monsters of Hamas. Hamas are not human. Hamas is ISIS.”

The official Israel Twitter chose to share the largely unblurred images with its 1.2 million followers.


The move came after some media figures heavily critical of Israel cast doubt on some of its claims about the atrocities carried out by Hamas as the terrorists infiltrated towns, murdering entire families, setting people on fire, raping women, killing children and taking more than 150 people captive.

It has been confirmed by the Israeli government that Hamas did murder women , children and the elderly

Are you one of the headless mob ?

Groundless tropes are the definers of our conversations when there are critical matters seeking attention. We keep going through the same foundry every cycle and expect a change. We have to be more purposive about governance, and less obsessed with thrilling distractions.

Political parties, especially those in the opposition, have seminal roles to play in educating citizens, mobilising consciences, and activating the right discourses. The opposition holds a decisive place in any democracy. Should this value be expended on asininities and on guerrilla warfare? If the essence of seeking power is corrective and righteous, where is the sense in efforts to bring down the roof with every artifice and conjuring available?

No one is saying the opposition should be the consort of anyone, but patriotism dictates citizens must commit to the peace, unity, and progress of the country regardless of who is president.

The Tinubu istration has been expansive and sensitive to Nigeria’s complexional complexities, blurring the lines between ‘’er and opposition’’ in appointments and in the provisioning of public goods. This clearly says it is all about governance and building a cohesive country for this istration. This is patriotism — what has been essentially lacking in governance in Nigeria.


However, it has become evident that debate in the next four years will be on the absurd. Perhaps, there is a cavity in the intellectual domain of the objurgators. I recall during the past istration; vicious conspiracy theories of ethnic domination and ethnic cleansing were noised as imminent truths. Ethnic epithets, slurs and tropes defined oppositional aspect to that istration. All for what reason – politics. It was all politics.

Conspiracy theories are the animating force of Nigeria’s political discourses. They give taste to falsehood, tension, fear, and prejudice. And often, they are eaten, digested, and regurgitated by the unwary. It is only four months in the life of this istration, but the crocheters of conspiracy theories are returning to their accustomed vocation. I would not give oxygen to the plot of lies and tall tales by reproducing them here.

But it is important that Nigerians understand that those desperate for power will do anything to keep them hooked on the opium of lies, fear, and prejudice.

Be discerning.

Bias, desperation, delusion, and deception govern the outputting of the distortionist mob. Mob distortions are purposive fabrications. They are oddly designed inventions pulled from a smorgasbord of fake news, injurious falsehood, slander, and prejudice. They come in the cloak of truth and certainty. They come in the swaddle of history and records. But in actuality, they are just a carefully curated jumble of lies, propaganda, disinformation, and misrepresentation.

What the crocheters of the yarns of distortionist hypotheses seek to achieve may be to cause a breakdown of trust, to blackmail, poison perception, stoke crisis, cause disaffection, and ultimately, spur an uprising.

In
the case of President Bola Tinubu, his villifiers have always sought, but fruitlessly so, to poison public perception against him. They invent ahistorical s, contort records, fabricate stories, and think up utter ridiculousness.

During the campaigns, detachments of distortionists worked the mill of propaganda overtime. They invented tales and doctored videos. Time has revealed the falsity of those videos as well as the dark entrails of the promoters. Today, the President is seen speaking extempore, clearly, intelligently with poise, panache, and a sprightful gait.

The traducing did not let up after the elections – even when it was expected that those in the adversarial phylum would form an opposition established on unrelenting issues of governance as they affect all Nigerians — and not on inanities and delusions. The fixation has been, laboriously, on the pursuit of a will-o’-the-wisp — not substance.

Despite indisputable evidence, punitive expeditions to the US were undertaken in furtherance of the smear campaign. There was nothing to be had from such endeavours ab initio, but to stir disruptive controversies and excite ers whose morale is waning. The outcome of the Chicago State University expedition is an indictment on the species of opposition and their disposition of resistance.


This dimension of opposition is ruinous, perfidious, and insidious. It tears down without building; it talks down without uplifting; it attacks without reason; it claims without evidence; it lies without let; it defames and defiles without conscience; and it opposes without a cause. All it seeks is to pull down and destroy – for as long as its longing for the chief seat remains a pipedream.

At the heart of Nigeria’s troubled and enchanted existence are wild and minacious politics. Politics defiant of patriotism and national interest; politics vacant of soul and righteous purpose; politics of predation and degradation. Politics of gladiatorial contests and duels. Destructive, dangerous politics.

We cannot make progress if our politics persists to be cancerous and a contest of absurdities. We seldom debate policies, and even when we do, it is usually from insular, dopey, and blighted lenses.

Top5ers:
Don’t worry bad governance doesn’t discriminate between those who a party or not. A drug lord is your president and you’re happy the judges overturned the constitution to Favour him. Don’t worry you and your children and your grandchildren will continue to shout up nepa until you die and that’s if you even able to survive the hardship that is coming.

You're saying all this because your preferred Political didn't win ??

What a pity

The Obedient movement had it coming. Insulting and disrespecting everyone for having a political view different from theirs.

My good friend almost fought me because of Politics . (I'm Igbo and he's Edo)

successmatters:
When a presidential candidate has no certificate, no life history, no integrity and no shame, he sponsored tribalists to be sowing tribal rants across all social media platforms to cause bad blood between sane people.

It's only in such atmosphere of confusion that me and you will continue to be robbed blind while he escapes with our loot.

Does the president sound like someone who never graduated from a Higher institution to you?

I know people with MSc that aren't as eloquent as the President

Nairaland is no fun anymore due to the incessant tribal bashing occuring .

Where exactly did these hate filled people come from ? Is the same thing happening on other sites like Instablog, etc ?

ElSudani:


Who said you can't do both?

Which is more important to you

very affordable Foods or cheap fuel

Bioboy1213:
We need both,

You are allowed to choose only one

1: Between pumping in millions of dollars to get our refineries working again
Or
2: Investing huge funds into the Agricultural sector , farming thousands of hectares of land in each State across the Nation

Which of these two do you think we really need and would benefit us more as a country ?

This is Awka, Government House road , Anambra

Taylor90:
Tinubu leave Niger matter alone

Pikin wey dey dance for road side something is beating drum for him inside the bush

Don’t invoke the anger of PUTIN to Nigeria

Ever since you snicked to Aso Rock through the widow you haven’t done anything good to better life of Nigerians

You carry Niger matter for head just to please the west while your country people are dying of hunger and hard times

Is it how female students of Chicago use to do?

Dollar is almost 1000, economy is in shambles, hunger is biting harder and all you care about is your western validation make them see say you be human being

Asari Dokubo threatened a sitting Governor you do face like say you no hear because he’s your thug.

You no send DSS after him rather romancing him with kids glove

You’ll forever be in the history for the worse president on planet

Wear adult pampers dey waka everywhere

You should have specialized on Cocaine and leave governance alone

Someone like you deserve to be arrested

I'm Igbo and you're one of the problems of the Igbos

The only thing worst than military regime is having APC in power.

Biggest mistake Nigerians ever made.

During OBJ's istration. Idris Abdulkareem sang Nigeria Jaga jaga. And by the end of Jonathan's tenure , Nigerians wanted change so much that most people opted for APC

Isn't that a proof to you that the hardship in Nigeria didn't start today?

In the event that a military intervenes and takes over
the istration of a country through a coup detate . My question is this

Since the Military usually suspends the constitution

Will a Military regime allow us express ourselves freely online/offline and even criticize/insult the government and leaders like we do today?


Can they sanction you or throw you into prison without trial ?
