That is the poor training you left behind sir.

Someone that retired from the military 45 years ago left poor training behind that resulted in insecurity today?

I've beaten tha dog already. The Haitians are voodoo people . They offer animal sacrifices

Haitians are now voodoo people just because your cult master label them Dog and cat eaters? So anyone the cult leader point at automatically becomes hated by the MAGA cult.

DeepSight:


A king who does not know Joseph! Indeed!

It seems you have been quoting the bible more frequently of recent. I also saw you tell someone that flesh and bllod did not reveal the non-profitability of refineries to him.

Have you been on the road to Damsacus recently and did someone accost you on the way?

I love biblical quotes, devoid of its myths and exaggerations, it's a treasure throve of literary artistry.

lithiumnigeria:

You must be very smart, running financial models of these processes is what I do for a living. Infact, revealing these tips is a disservice, you can’t resist the urge attimes.

Wow that's interesting. Abeg can you help me in running the financial model for I business I want to embark upon. Its got to do with selling of solar energy products particularly for commercial and industrial markets, given we are in dire energy crisis right now.
I will be willing to get in with you.

I noticed your name has lithium in it, so I guess you are in the solar energy industry.

DeepSight:


He is not a stupid businessman, this we know. So he must know what we do not know.

Obviously, he is not a stupid businessman. Dangote is one person I ire and respect a lot, he is a patriotic Nigerians and takes huge business risks. Its just that in this refinery business, he miscalculated. He believed he will alway get government backing and patronage, not realising that a king might come to power that does not know Joseph.

lithiumnigeria:


Dangote to open gas stations?
Refineries in the world need about 3 Months down payment to have liquidity so they can do forward payment for crude.
Dangote will only open gas stations when all Nigerian vehicle s can pay their 3 months petrol demand to his station, how possible is that?
I don’t think if there is any marketer other than NNPCL capable of that. He needs NNPCL more than NNPCL needs him.
Refineries are globally a low margin business. I don’t know who corrupted our brains that it’s a highly profitable venture.
Lols, majority of Nigerians think downstream business is tomato business.

Flesh and blood did not reveal thus secret to you but the holy spirit. Refinery business around the world is not a profitable business, unless of course you secure a source of cheap crude, either by stealing or other underhand tactics.
Why dangote decided to pump in billion of dollars into the refinery business instead of other more profitable and less volatile business is a mystery to me.

Blitzking:

Dangote should sell at least 50percent below landing cost. Any other thing is rubbbish

Is the government selling crude to Dangote at 50% below international price?
Dangote that NNPC refused to sell crude to and had to resort to importing from Brazil at international price is the one you want to sell petrol to you at 50% landing cost?

Diligence:
QED

The real Indigenes just CONFIRMED that there is a DISTINCT DIFFERENCE between a Yoruba & a Lagosian!

Lagos Colony doesn't believe it should necessarily be under SouthWest.

One can then deduce that, Many, not all, Yorubas from Southwest hv really bitten more than they can ever chew in Lagos Colony

The irony is that if the country should revert back to the regions, the real lagosians would prefer to be an independent territory instead of being subsumed under the wider Yoruba tribe. It was Gowon that merged Lagos colony with the wider Lagos from the western region in 1967.

Ogunboylag:
I’m from Lagos and all Yorubas are home
ibo you are not welcome

What of Yorubas from other countries, ie Togo, Benin, Cuba and Brazil, are they also free to come and own Lagos?

Elliotwaveforec:

If you aren't satisfied with the bill, fuckkkkk yourself out of Lagos

So you have no answer but juvenile tantrums? I am certain you are an immigrant from one of the neighbouring states claiming Lagos. No original lagosian many of whom I grew up with talk so foolishly.

Smartcitizen:



You talk as if Lagos belongs to you, Lagos is NO MAN'S LAND, and that's why every Nigerian should lay claim on it.

The Yorubas may be controlling the political power in LAGOS and Igbos the economic power, then the north the security, it doesn't make anyone the owner of LAGOS.

Where was all those idiots claiming Lagos when Lagos was being built with our oil money?

Nonsense.

You people are the ones causing all the problems in Lagos with your outlandish and stupid egocentric claims. Igbos do not control the economic power of lagos. With his refinery in lagos Dangote alone controls more economic power in lagos than all igbos. Lagos was already an economic powerhouse before igbos started migrating to lagos enmass after the end of the civil war.
How are the north controlling security in Lagos? Except you mean it's maiguards that are controlling the security of Lagos.

Elliotwaveforec:

Good! All markets in the state must be under Iyaloja; if you don't like it, relocate.

Please explain how this iyaoloja system would help improve the economy of Lagos and your own life?

Botragelad:
Just a heads up for those who haven't been following, this is all happening after the US said Iran is supplying Russia with ballistic missiles.

And, by the way, the US(plus those who have been ing Ukraine with weapons) has been a bit restrictive on how Ukraine can use their weapons to strike deep into Russia. But now that Iran and Russia have made their move, there's chat about removing those restrictions and letting Ukraine use those weapons however they like. So, watch this space, things might get interesting!

World War lll loading. Get you geiger counter, your anti radiation suits and your underground bunkers ready, or we will not survive the armageddon.

HenryWilliams:


Anything to put the cheeky Igbos in their place
Is fine with me .

And that would improve your life and that of your family?

CHIOMAEZEH:
Will there be a Iyaloja?

There should be a babaloja also to balance the equation. Afterall, men and women should be equal.
African and irrelevance. Others are spending their time and energy on things that would improve the lives of their people in general, we are wasting time and effort on destroying the little we have achieved.

geoworldedu:
Did you see scam in my texts? Read well before you comment. He did his business lawlessly, that's all I said.

But I saw hushpuppi in your text, what does that imply?
His crime borders more on misdemeanor rather than serious crime as you are trying to imply. His punishment would no way be comparable to sammers or murderers.

geoworldedu:
Family of Hushpuppi and Ekweremadu dem. Lawlessness lives in the blood of an average Nigerian. He thought everywhere is a shithole. They want to turn another man's land to a dustbin.

Please learn to read and comprehend. The guy was a pioneer. He engage in business not permitted or ed. He did not scam anyone and no one reported that they were scammed.

Yampotatocarrot:

Thanks

Meaning he was able to physically get a location to install his ATM, put CCTV, connect it to power so that it'll constantly be on, got security to guard it, and the authorities didn't know for two years (or just left him)

Well sha, any how wey he do am, na him know, I guess the crime was not getting ed then... If not, does that mean crypto trading is a crime?

Exactly. His crime is not getting approvals for h8s business. He did not steal, he did not do 419, he only provided ATM machines for people to convert cash into bitcoin for a fee.

YesDaddyTill203:


NAFDAC's job is to comment on the safety of drinking not about the so-called miracles that it can do.
As long as the water is safe to drink then it's none of their business whether the miracle promise is real or fake.

Are you insinuating that someone can package chalk into capsules and claim it can cure covid and appy for NAFDAC approval, as long as chalk is safe to drink, NAFDAC doesn't have to the claims?

Goodvibes007:

Cry all you want, iyalojas have been collecting levies for centuries before the formation of Nigeria. It's part of the culture. Same you are ing IPOB/ESN sit at home in your region.


The Iyaoloja would collect the levy and nothing you IPOB can do about it. Worse case scenario, you will shout and call your IPOB and you would land in jail like the clown below.

What separates the Iyaoloja forceful extortion of traders from Bandit/Boko Haram extortion of villages and to towns in the north? What law empowers a single iyaoloja from collecting levy in the whole of Lagos State or even south west?
If it was Oba Akinolu thar nominated Folashade Tinubu as the Iyaoloja if Lagos, her jurisdiction should not extend beyond Lagos Island. Oba Akinolu's jurisdiction is Eko/Lagos, it dies not extend to Ikeja, much less Ikorodu or Badagry.

This is simply Banditry in another form.

basilico:


Constitution terminate. I almost stopped there but those are leftie Twitter talking points.

From Trump's truth social. Oya start reinterpretation and explanation.

basilico:


I only have this for you.


Democrats are currently destroying democracy by:

Projection of one's crimes on others. Its the republican and their presidential candidate that threatens openly to destroy democracy. Trump even advocated for termination of the constitution.

1. Will not allow Kennedy on the ballot

The case has been taken to court. That's the essence of democracy, any grievance is settled at the courts.

2. Threw their political opponent in jail, after the statue of limitations expired and right before the election.

What do you mean? Which political opponent was thrown in jail by Democrats and which elections are you talking about. Its the courts that has the powers to throw anyone in jail in a democracy.

3. Coup against Biden.

Who is alleging a coup? Biden himself or republicans. Why are republicans so pained by internal affairs of another party? Are Democrats complaining or asking republicans for help?

4. Assigned a president candidate nobody has voted for.

What do you mean nobody voted for? Who did the asg, Joe Biden whom you accuse of being overthrown or the Obama? Vicepresident won enough delegates votes to secure the nomination during the DNC convention.

5. Harris will not answer a single question

The campaign has just started as she was only nominated a few days ago, there is still plenty of time for debates and taking questions.
6. Democrat senators and president is inciting people to be violent against Trump it seems. And there was unfortunately in assassination attempt.
It's republicans thar have been threatening violence and preparing the grounds for violence (civil war) if Trump loses. They are already saying they elections are rigged even before the first ballot is cast.
You are fearing Trump will do something he didn't do in 4 years

But the Democrats are literally tearing down democracy with these 6 points. Please tell me that you are smart enough to be able to see it

Once again Projection of republican image on Democrats.

basilico:


There is subtle sabotage that goes on both by Republicans and democrats. Just before 2022 mid term elections Lindsey Graham pushed a bill to ban abortions nationally after 15 weeks.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/16/lindsey-graham-abortion-ban-bill-splits-gop-on-midterm-message.html?os=os

Pure sabotage just before the midterm elections.
This year quite a number of RINOs decided they won't run . One waited till after the deadline day when there would have been a run off to replace him.

But this is a referendum.Many of these loud mouths married women secretly engage in abortion. Feminists who plan never to have ( or more) children will use a permanent method of family planning.

Why are you guys so obsessed with controlling other women's sex, sexuality and whether to abort a baby or not, even by married women. Are you guys the ones to breast feed, nurture and raise the baby? A married woman should be free to decide the number of children she wants or not to have a baby at all, with consent of her husband of course. The irony is that it is still you guys that boast of "grabbing dem by the pvssy" and sleeping with multiple women. Then you turn around and advocate obsessively for total ban on abortions. So what happens to the multiple women you grabbed by the pvssy along with their babies?

Now let me educate you on reality, married women carry out as much abortion if not more than single ladies. After having the required number of children a married couple agreed upon, any subsequent pregnancy as a result of failed family planing is aborted immediately.

Trump has changed positions. Oh no he should never, the dinosaurs might resurrect and eat us all.
Kamala Harris has changed positions in the following areas

Mandatory gun buyback
Fracking
EV mandates
Border Wall
Defund the police.

Source. Your very own trusted msn justifying her actions

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/five-issues-where-harris-has-shifted-to-the-center/ar-AA1pDxFE

Your warped interpretations is not just comical, you might require a juju exorcist.

Trump has no position. He is just like a quantum event, a wave function. Trump position is all positions until your hear him speak, then he takes a position in that instance of time. You can never know his position until he speaks.

Wainey:
Nothing is wrong with court wedding.
If she divorce you, one office pin she no go see collect, this is not western world where wealth is shared after divorce

False. Stop advising people wrongly based on ignorance.
If she divorced you based on court marriage, she will be entitled to a share of your properties as determined by the judge, based on the years of marriage, your assets acquired during the marriage and her contributions to the marriage.

stanluiz:
Have those Apc ethnic jingoistic from both North and SW who has been calling for expulsion and genocide of igbos since been arrested ?

Has Nigerian authorities arrested anyone ? No

Don't they have the same mentally as Isis ?

If you push someone to the wall, they will fight back. Since Apc took power, instead of them to face governance, they have been attacking Igbos.

Buhari government did the same. Tinubu follow suit. The era silence is over. Igbos are on defensive mode. Any form of attack will repelled.

He who ask for equity should come with clean hands.

I don't engage in whataboutism. If we use whataboutism as an excuse or justification for crimes, then no crime would ever be prosecuted.
We should treat all individual crimes on their merit.

CapitalBank:


My mum is from Edo state, Ehor village to be precise.

My dad is from Anambra, Akwuzu to be precise...

Now go Bleep yourself.

So according to Amaka Patience Sunnberger, your dad should poison your mum. You agree with her or not?

stanluiz:
Igbos are the most travelled people in Africa whether you like it or not. We travel more than you people even in Nigeria and outside Nigeria.

Obi will still campaign in the south west. Nothing will happen Have you condemn tinubu nepotism and tribalism ? Hypocrite!

Canada will not do anything to her. They have more issues to sort out rather than this petty online insult and bashing.

This goes beyond online insults and bashing. This is a clear intention of what she intends to do, and is encouraging her ers to do the same. It the same as ISIS or Al Quaeda encouraging their ers to kill Americans or Jews.
If it was just online insult and bashing, why did she quickly delete her X ? The law will catch up on her.

DeepSight:


Old friend, I think it is extremist to say one should not trust anyone who sleeps outside marriage. You should reflect that mankind is not naturally monogamous and it is indeed an irony that as an atheist you dont see that monogamy is a contraption of control foisted by religion.

I acknowledge and appreciate your friendship here on nairaland and your intellectual depths at analysing complex social issues.

I see my self as a humanist, my views are often non personal and look at how issues affect the wider society and humanity as a whole. As you are already aware, I am an evolutionist, a staunch believer in the doctrine of "survival of the fittest". Survival just doesn't mean individual survival but also includes family, clan, racial and species survival. Fittest also doesn't necessarily means strongest or fastest, that attributes (both physical and others elements) that best fits the environment.
I can now explain my "extremist" views on fidelity in marriage. Marriage is not necessarily a religious contraption, but a social construct (I would say evolutionary behaviour) for social order and progress. Ancient Rome that promoted monogamy did not do it for religious reasons but for social order (political and economic reasons). Even Judaism (or rather Abrahamism) which is the father of Christianism promoted polygamy. It was when Rome took over the Christian religion that monogamy was indoctrinated.

Let me Further explain why I feel polygamy is not desirable at this stage of our evolutionary development. In ancient times when the human population was small (100 million or less) and lived in isolated settlement. The economy was first Hunter gatherer and later agrarian. Polygamy was the most efficient method of family and thus societal survival. A man required multiple wives and children (or large family ) for successful hunts or to work the land for successful agriculture. Then a man's wealth was measured by the number of wives and children, and then agricultural produce. Furthermore, life expectancy was very short, with men being even shorter due to war, disease, hunting and extraneous work. So churning out children in numbers was needed to compensate for the high mortality rate.

Today, social dynamics have radically changed. The world population is 8 billion. The economy is now industrial and even digital. Families live in apartment building or at best single plot houses. Now, how will polygamy work in such a situation. Putting up 2 or more families under the same roof often end in disaster. Putting then under separate roofs also has its economic and psychological implications particularly on the children. In todays world polygamy is detrimental to building a strong, peaceful and prosperous society.

This is not to say one s those sex addicts who are depraved rapists such as the racist, rapist, fraudster, convicted felon and pathological liar, Donald Trump.

As an aside what do you make of polygamy or polyandry?

Now having said the above, I am not particularly anti-polygamy. What I am against is lying and cheating. If my wife or girlfriend is not meeting my needs, I will let her know. If she insists on being stubborn and still fail to meet my needs, I will make her known that I will find solace elsewhere. I will never hide or lie. The only reason I will still stay in the marriage and not divorce is because of the children. But once the children are of independent age, I am gone.

kkins25:


Nope. By your logic, all rappers are confirmed killers.
So, liar one and liar two.

That's because for criminal conviction, there is the added legal hurdle of proving beyond "reasonable" doubt. So just one technicality can create a reasonable doubt no matter the preponderance of evidence.
In the case of O.J. Simpson, all evidence pointed to him being responsible for the murder, its was the glove that did not fit that created reasonable doubt in the criminal case.

kkins25:


Nope. By your logic, all rappers are confirmed killers.
So, liar one and liar two.

Not all rappers, only those that have been found liable of murder by a competent court, just like O. J. Simpson.
