A lot of the US budget is on research and development.

A sizable proportion of costs could be inflated due to the military-industrial complex. The big defence contractors like Boeing and Lockheed Martin.

Lmao. He just changed his tune after the backlash.


The green card thing will just be Asians and a few non-Asians and Latin Americans "replacing" the Americans.

Lmao.

It seems the advantage and disadvantage is what makes Lagos.

The advantage is that Lagos attracts the best and bright people with ambitions.

The other side is that Lagos attracts the wrong ones also, whether they be criminals or lazy people.

Lagos will always have unproductive people as they will always move from their respective states.

Impressive.

It really is something for the best graduating student to be a 61 year old man.

Definitely referring actually to the simp ways of some men since she mentioned "Chivalry".

Legend recognizes another Legend.

The only players to score, win MOTM in the World Cup final and still win the World Cup.

Nigeria is dysfunctional society.


Everything about the country is wack, a very poor yet corrupt nation with citizens that have been brainwashed just to accept the status quo. Explains why are Nigerians are very religious and resilient, the resilient part is actually due to our docile nature and ability to accept anything the government throws at us. The politicians have also succeeded in dividing us across ethnic and religious lines and people keep falling for it.

The Nigerian dream now is to either Japa or own an overpriced piece of property in Lekki, and buy a foreign used Mercedes or Range Rover at any means necessary.

Very insecure guy

Well... he deserves the award

Absolute legend

Honestly, careless and stupid statement from the Vice President.

He probably said this because a lot of scientists are socially awkward or inept.

He wants the nerds to move with their fellow nerds, doesn't want them to lose focus.

BRICS is just a non performing organization, zero obligations. No military operation, no trade organization or requirements for participation. It's still largely ineffective, but things might change sometime.

No political platform is worth $44bln

Twitter has been overpoliticised. 95% of users just want to catch cruise and follow other things.

Absolutely

It's just that Twitter is like the people's town square, Twitter was and still is instrumental for political movements like the BLM, Arab Spring and EndSars

Jack Dorsey is trying to get new users for Bluesky.

Whether Elon Musk ruined Twitter depends on the person, The Democrats and Left wing people hate Twitter and the Republicans and Right wing people are loving Twitter.

They initially ventured into foreign lands for trade, but they grew stronger with mercantilism aided with slavery, capitalism and the preceding industrial revolution.

They made more money and in turn had more time and resources for scientific and technological endeavours. Then they needed more resources but rather than trading, they seized the resources (Africa) forcefully.

Honestly, one would think this state would be a walk over for Peter Obi, but Atiku won and BAT even pulled in a substantial amount of votes.

This man's work rate is impressive.

Even Meek Mill thinks the phone might not have been stolen, could have dropped it somewhere.

That's just mad. Messi has always been great, but the World Cup victory makes him seem even greater.

You're being contradictory. Let me ask you again since you've already confirmed Emir is the head of Kwara State traditional council. All educated people know Emir is always the head in perpetuity in Kwara State, a state you confirmed too by yourself has super Yoruba majority. Why is Fulani Emir With less than 5% population the head of Kwara State traditional council?

I don't know how he became head of the traditional council. I think he was elected, but the traditional council doesn't meddle in the politics of the state, they have only been active with mundane things like the traditional rulers allowances or the usual goodwill messages, and there are other first class king in the state.

The Emir is subject to the governor same with other rulers, the Emir could always try to influence the governor but only if the governor agrees. The governor could but doesn't have any reason to remove him, unlike what happened in Kano. The Emir is only important in the Ilorin Emirates.

Plus10:

Are fulanis originally from kwara?

Nah, they migrated there in the 1800s and now are mostly mixed, they only claim Fulani for politics so that the actual ones from the core North would recognize them.

AirFireEarthH20:


Interesting! If Yorubas occupy 12 LGAs as you said, that's super majority and Fulani only found in Ilorin, that means Fulani is less than 5% of the total population, meaning super minority. Why then do Yorubas and every other person in Kwara obey and bow to the Emir of Ilorin, a super minority King?

This is false, there is the Kwara state traditional council which the Emir I think was elected to and heads, but other than that he has no authority over the people. The people of Ilorin respect the Emir and this is due to islam, but not the other Yorubas. A person from Omu Aran, Offa or Ekiti doesn't care for the Emir. Same for a Nupe person from Lafiagi or a Baruba from Kaiama.

The true man in charge is the governor, the only reason the Emir seemed important was due to the Saraki's family influence, the current one only ascended due to the elder Saraki and honestly considering Kwara state's history he was the top dog but currently the family's influence is waning.

The state is multi ethnic one. Yorubas are the majority (12 LGAs) mostly in the Southern part. Followed by the Nupes (2 LGAs) and Barubas( 2 LGAs). The Fulanis are only found in Ilorin and they're mostly mixed with Yoruba, people like Dele Belgore and Saraki.

The current governor and his deputy are both Yorubas, he just happens to have Arabic names, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq and Kayode Alabi.

Ilorin is the capital and most popular area, so when some people try to describe Kwara, they're actually describing Ilorin.

The government is wasteful with resources with a combination of greedy politicians.

Billions for Naira for official cars, properties and corrupt politicians who also won't let go even when they're out of office.

The dictator/president intentionally banned Facebook to avoid criticisms and scrutiny of his government.

He also couldn't use Facebook for his propaganda so he banned the platform.

This man is very funny

Messi is the GOAT.

Tinubu's old age and mental decline is clearly visible. The funny ones are the ones trying to defend his gaffe, it must be a tough job.

He will praise anyone as long as they're not affiliated with Labour Party.

This is funny, even APC has a better chance.

I thought they said Chinese are short people.


See as Xi comport himself.

He is one of the exceptions, he's about 5'11 which is above average in some parts of the world. I'm sure among other Chinese people, he's like a giant.
