People have short memories. They forget that Trump was a payback backlash for electing Barak Obama.

Biden defeated Trump because they preferred another white guy to him. It does not matter that those who think this way are not majority of Americans but enough to decide who becomes elected.

Kamilla Harris should be the obvious choice but if Biden withdrew, the so-called independent voters will push Trump in again. If they think Biden is too frail, wait until after election to push Kamilla in.

Be careful of what you wish for.

Let us be fair, it is not only Ijaw. This CURSE is on most Nigerians. Even in Western Nigeria.

It is what the North is known for. They have been ruling Nigeria longer than any other ethnic group with absolute nothing to show for it except some individuals that remain the oligarchy joined by their military officers.

The one about Ijaw is so pathetic, no be small. The New foreign income that found new wealth or curse comes from their areas. By suffering from the devastating Oil spill and destroyed environment, you would think with the coming of Jonathan, they would be more sensible than the rest of us. No o!

It's our money we can spend it anyway we want. Boy! They sure did.

The Igbo ruled the country as civilian and military Presidents handing over to one another like Zik did, then another Igbo military took over. Yet they cry everyday that they never ruled or too short. But even Ironsi short rule changed Nigeria forever from Regional Power to Federal Power.

The Yoruba left their golden nest in the West for Federal politics and lost it all.

Shey LinkedIn na im China dey show?

Another form of audio.

Typical Nigerian using achievements outside where Nigerians dare not steal or slack off as an example.

I have said it many times that if Nigerians can only work half as hard as they do outside, our country would be showcasing China Engineering miracle.

No oh! They are ready to mention some Nigerians that are temporary Heads of the Dog Catchers outside.

Sodom dia dey collect foreign kickbacks you hai.

SocialJustice:
You don't know them does not mean they don't exist, Iweala was in the world bank for 25 years and nobody knew her until Obasanjo brought her home, same for Segun Agangan.

Thoroughbred professionals don't have time for online noise making.

Go to LinkedIn and see engineers that fit your description in surplus.

Carter Bridge was constructed before many of us were born. Eko Bridge nko or Third Mainland Bridge.

Yet no Nigerian intern, iron worker or university apprentice has become Africa or world class Engineer.

Why? Kickbacks from foreigners.

Solution: Bar Beach Show. When we jailed Fela and Dr. Harold Shodipo, our money was pound for pound or seven and six to the dollar.

Spare the rod and throw Nigeria into abject Poverty.

Sonnobashiere or sonobawere comes from son of were.

You are joking, right?

Try Sonoba-shiere!

The same Nigerians that used to get red carpet welcome almost everywhere, now when they see our passport, alarm goes on.

Who put this curse on Nigerians while we beat our chests and celebrate?

The ingrained inferiority complex reinforced by European branding breeds people like those condemning their types.

Unfortunately, Nigerians the hope of Blacks worldwide led the packs of these vultures.

Teach them history of African Greats, they call it past tense. Teach them the history of Black Wall Street, Nigerians of all people deride the plight of Black Americans.

Solution to Black Plight ? Retrace your step in Nigeria instead of pointing to your home with your left fingers. An abomination in Africa.

What do you need to retrace? All you need to ask yourselves is how the richest country in Africa with meager incomes from Cocoa, Palm Oil and Groundnuts while Asians were selling their children to eat, became the world's center of abject Poverty.

Abject Poverty O! After deluge of Oil Incomes that turned Arabian deserts into Paradise!

Nigerian millionaires today are spending their own money to cross deserts and seas knowing full well the chances of being captured as slaves, used for organ transplant, prostitutes or their mouth as shit collectors; are greater than success.

Yet you have "experts" like Depriest2020 and co. blaming victims instead of demonstrating what they have personally done locally before condemning others.

Nigerians remain the most hardworking people and smartest but redirected to fraud and easy MONEY MONEY MONEY. Nothing else matters. Not dignity, not honor, not culture, not ambition to discover what Europeans "rediscovered" and patented from Africa.

Nigeria is where most competent men would be suffocated before they gain prominence.

Ask ostentatious Nigerians why: dem dey jealous us!

Here we go again!

There are too many similarities in culture, Orisha, history and interactions between Yoruba and Bini. Until late revisions of history, all Oba of Bini were WILLING participants in the Yoruba Oba meetings.

Even the Ogiso of Edo came from Ife. The fact is most historians from all sides never denied the relationship until suzerainty of who was the father or son comes in.

This has become a repeated broken record. Ogun River is no where near Bini but all Yoruba worshipped Ogun.

Trump won on Showmanship peddling lies and scary future for the greatest country on earth.

Biden got a slow start but head on and better thereafter.

Biden won on Policy.

How do you tell an old with nonenal that he smells or friends with bad body odor?

Good hygiene helps in those cases but for virginia, it is more delicate. Sometimes douching and flushing make it worse by dislodging the good bacteria.

It boils down to flora balance. A culture has to be done to identify the smelly bacteria. See a doctor or pharmacist near you.

You can also try self care by trial and error.

Some of us have short memories. This and the one last week are not new. It cut across groups and States.

Father working night and day, mothers denying yourselves so that your children can cope with their friends; your children get drunk and forget where they come from.

As for looters, your children are watching you!

Let me admit that most Africans in the States know that many African Americans are hostile towards them. But Africans understand why. So it does not change Africans empathy for African Americans.

If anything, Africans, other minorities and women (both white and Black) are beneficiaries of African Americans struggle and leadership on Civil Right. Yet, they are the group that benefit least from their own spilled blood.

As for Africans and Nigerians in particular in Africa, they have as much gullible people as any other groups, not more. The reason Africans, West Indians and Nigerians succeed more than Black Natives in U.K and the States is that nobody travels that far out to go and fail. They work twice as hard more than they would in their own countries. The same is true of Black Americans out of the States.

If you leave two or more mice in a pen for experiment. They will grow well in number. But left in the same pen without more space, food and water, they start eating one another. Go anywhere, any ghetto to in Europe, America, Middle East and Africa. It boils down to the same thing.

It is a fallacy that Nigerians in Diaspora agree on one leader. No reasonable people would agree on any of the three Presidential candidates we had in Nigeria except one country and we will find out which in November.

Again, Nigerians have a country, resources, arable land and unprecedented deluge of foreign income from Oil that turn them into Poverty Capital of the world.

Why? Greed, instantaneous gratification, readymade goods and conspicuous spending.

Please note that it is true that Nigerians of all ethnic groups want change of leadership, only one group agreed and voted solidly for one candidate. Other ethnic groups voted for two or more candidates. We cannot say because capable Nigerians at home rarely have the opportunity to govern, Nigerians in Diaspora are better.

Most of the rulers in Nigeria were members of Diaspora at one point. Only Nigerians at home can save Nigeria. This is why African American wish they have the same opportunities as Nigerians.

You forgot American Indians, worse off than African Americans.

You forgot Voting Rights clouded by Electoral College and Gerrymandering.

You forgot that women thought they secured Abortion Right fifty years ago.

Those are the good old days.

Germans, Japanese and Chinese got respect because they made economic power out of their countries.

African, what have you made out of Nigeria? The richest country in Africa flowing with wara and honey turned into poverty capital of the world by unprecedented inflow of foreign Oil Income.

Can we point a finger to African Americans while the other four point to US.

Sladem05:


I will agree that good ole days is a lie. You can’t apply that to any section of history whether it’s now or when the very first humans were born 300,000 years ago. The world has always sucked.It’s only MAGA and delusional white conservatives that believe in it. Good Ole Days but they forgot about US imperialism, racial segregation,discrimination and so on.

But Blacks weren’t the only ones that had a hard time. Asians, Hispanics and even whites did.

Slavery happened allover the world.

Japanese and Germans were put in concentration camps, Chinese people were banned from entering America. Arab Muslims are still discriminated in the country today but why have none fared as bad as black Americans have?

Give up this victim mentality.

I think this Sladem05 is too ignorant to be a well informed African.

SirTee15 killed all your ignorance by asking you about Black Wall Street.

You do not understand what the intolerance or any successful African American business mean in America. From Agricultural farms to G.I Bill after WWII.

Sladem05 still cannot understand or answer the question of why you hardly find poor African American outside America. He keeps on comparing Africans and West Indians in Europe to African Americans in America.

Again, how many poor African Americans do you know outside America, including Nigeria?

The case of Black Wall Street should have told you the forces of evil in America is solidly against them. It is like building and making progress only to be destroyed and starting all over.

This is why they campaign about their "good old days".

Why do some of you guys lie viciously? He actually shook hands with Tinubu. It depends on the side of camera. The President of Nigeria should have been at the center though, not behind anyone.

If you only reserve half of the venom for Obi who was in the same drug trade as Tinubu. But you are shamelessly blinded by hypocrisy.

Ndi beriberi.

By the way. Let us praise Nigerians, traditional attire should have flooded the stage not English attire.

Finally, Nigerians are asking the right questions.

Where does the money to finance bloated education relevant to the countries you are going to be underemployed, come from?

This is what breeds corruption and lack of support for leading universities in our country. These are people who drain our educational system, hospital and job creation in favor of developed countries looking patrons to finance their economy.

Yet our politicians and their worse gullible followers beg for foreign investment when they invest twice or more in foreign countries.

They sold us religion in exchange for our resources. They are selling us foreign education in exchange for local talents that are discriminated against at best or wasted.

This is a curse!

There are good hardworking conscientious people in Nigeria even by a glance of the posts here.

Every country deserve the politicians that rule them because instead of fighting back they melt when backed into the wall.

Yes, some of our students might have overdone it fighting for Chancellor of University of Lagos or fighting for subsidized food but they were at least, alive to their civic responsibilities.

This colomentality of leaders and average citizens subsidizing rich economies all over the world is insane. Ask those who studied abroad in those days. They worked full-time and schooled full-time to pay their ways. Some even have families at home to support. Despite all these, they return home to become your teachers in various fields.

We now have irresponsible leaders that followers cannot hold accountable. Someone suggested that until they purge all the leaders of their loot, nobody should pay taxes or fees for them to steal.

Fair and noteworthy. But who is going to hold them accountable? Instead of Labor Unions and the poor to fight the most outrageous salaries for politicians in the world, they want 100,000k minimum wage! This nah craze.

We've lost our way and sensibility. Money has no value, it is what you do with it that has value. In the countries we run to, they hate inflation and the Scandinavian countries care about the difference between minimum and maximum salaries.

Face it, most of us are worse than our leaders and would do worse if given the chance to lead.

LegendHero,

Ai dey enjoy you.

Omota Agbalagba!

When you are abroad making 16 euro or dollars an hour translating to about 32 thousand a year. It is about 40 million naira a year.

Wow! Let us Japa for 40 millions a year no matter how qualified or better paid you are. Sell everything and move abroad jor.

Until you realize that you cannot live comfortably abroad with 32k after paying 24 thousand on rent!

What about gas heating, electricity, transport, clothing etc.

Hardships in Naija for the poor everywhere but the better paid only want money not better life.

jara:
Nuhu Ribadu probed and jailed his superior, Chief Inspector General of Police Tafa Balogun under President Obasanjo.

Be real those days are gone gone gone!

As long as there are people defending and making excuses for this guy are around, Nigeria will never prosper.

It is not a curse.

If dem born Tinubu well, let him try. Even Buhari was scared to avenge Banbagida.

The cabals come from the South too, not only North.

Apart from Obasajo, does anyone know of any tail or head of state that has been held accountable?

Not even Tinubu dare try the big boys. They and their cronies flood bureau du Change at will.

OUR CURRENCY IN WAREHOUSE GRAVE & VAULT DEPRECIATE BUREAU DE CHANGE

How can local currencies appreciate when we have excess hidden in graveyards, warehouses, bullions vans and safes that can flood the bureau du change at will? We all know this, yet we keep on ignoring the obvious. By repeatedly ignoring facts and expecting different results is the height of hypocrisy. You cannot quench fire without turning off the source. As African politicians punish us with impunity, instead of fighting back, we back into the wall and melt into the wall.

Since people who gain by their repeated indifference are the benefactors, pretending they are working to solve the real problems, we are all in trouble. They spend lavishly like a drunken sailor. While privileged Africans in our local communities swallow foreign currencies that cannot be printed in their countries, without sweat. They cannot work their butts off like the people earning euros, dollars and other foreign countries abroad. Could have been prudent if they did.

Banks are commercial enterprises that trade on people’s savings by lending out to borrowers at predetermined interest rates. When the interest rates get too high, it dampens business activities discouraging those who want to start businesses and employ workers. Low interest rates encourage the society and spur commercial activities. The interest rates are so high in many African countries, you wonder who can afford to borrow from banks, make enough profit in order to pay back.

If banks and financial houses are not able to borrow, the banks cannot make a profit from people’s savings. So the banks and financial houses are raided by unscrupulous businesses and politicians. When these banks are no longer viable and they go bankrupt, people lose their life savings. Unfortunately, new generation banks are not in the business of savings and lending but into attracting life savings with high rates of return and looted hidden local currency. Once they gather enough to share within, they liquidate and ask for a government bailout

Then let's act like we don't know why the naira is falling

Nigerians are overwhelmed.

Too many injustices to protest about. Can anyone believe that Azikiwe Jonathan ruled for four years of: it's our money and we can do whatever we want with it and left Environmental Degradation in Niger Delta worse than he met it.

Alamsco and Ibori never stole, it's our money. Dansuki, father xmass never stole, we authorized him. Buhari, the worst terrorists and looter enabler never stole. Since copied Southerners.

Tell me, who loves Nigeria?

The easy temporary measures do not appreciate local currency, they only give time to local currency hoarders to unleash at will their old crumbling naira from vaults, graveyards, file cabinets and wherever they hide the loot. Of course depreciating local currency further as they besiege Bureau du Change again. If anyone thinks these money launders do not know the timing and when to flood the market, think again.

Many countries have their form of Bureau du Change and Central Bank but most African countries turned theirs into round tripping enterprises or private banks for the privileged politicians and their cronies. As other countries have checks and balances in place, so do our local regulators that just ignored them with impunity in Africa. It started with the military strong men and got worse regardless of civilian or military government.

Good but I am surprised I could not find where anyone wrote about converting mechanical or physical energy while the vehicle is moving into electrical energy.

This plus solar on top can make the vehicle run longer. So while one battery or part of the same battery is working, another part can be converting the movement into stored or charged electrical energy.

I remember this from our highschool physics a century ago! Some of you may remember the textbook from Abbott, I think.

beryledibor:
The battery should be removable so that you can keep one charging while working with another otherwise it's not sustainable.

Charging station can also be established only for changing removable batteries.

Little by little petrol dependence will vanished
