This is apocalyptic. This is Tsunami. Arguably the most apocalyptic and destructive I have ever watched on the screen. My prayers are with Nepal from Nigeria 😢🙏

You don't even seek to understand what or why this is important to the Muslims. You only want us subservient to your ways and wishes.

You continued from where your parents stopped.

But you want the world to see you as tolerant.

Look into the mirror, you'll see a hypocrite.

Let's travel a bit down memory lane

Àgùdà ò jẹ lábẹ́ẹ Gẹ̀ẹ́sì... On the surface, the statement means The Catholics do not rely on the English for sustenance. But it has a deeper context.

During the transatlantic slave trade era, Portuguese and British took a lot of slaves from Nigeria. The slaves taken by Portuguese were taken to Brazil. Right from then, Yorùbá people made clear distinction between the British and the Portuguese. The British were called Òyìnbó Aláwọ́ Funfun while the Portuguese were called Òyìnbóo Potogí.

The real problem with letting GMOs into African agric supply chains has nothing to do with whether they're healthy or not.

The actual issue is that these variants, developed using proprietary technology by their American patent holders, can mix with local crop variants around the world and become dominant. The patent owner has the right to stop you from planting his GMO seeds, and to dictate how much of it you can buy.

These GMOs are also engineered not to reproduce the normal way, so that instead of just planting part of the old harvest, farmers must buy seeds every planting season.

A time will come when the local variants will disappear, and farmers will need to buy seeds from the American GMO patent holders like @SyngentaUS every planting season - which means that a country's ability to grow FOOD will be directly dependent on its relationship with the Yanks.

I'll leave you to think about the implications of this.

Meaning: Treat the calabash at home right. Only God can tell if the one on the farm will grow and germinate well or not.

Note:
Do not maltreat the people you've been with because you are meeting new people.

Do not maltreat your spouse because you've seen someone more beautiful/handsome.

Do not throw away old opportunities for the prospect of new and unsure ones.

Good morning!

This is a 4 in 1 Rice Milling Machine, It processes 600kg of milled rice per hour
It destones and gives you exactly the same quality just like the big rice mill

Imagine we have this in each rice producing community across Nigeria.

But No!

This is one of the land mines to watch out for as an African in Diaspora.

Back home, we don’t do credits much (for better or worse). You pay for what you buy. If you borrow, it’s usually from friends or family, and there’s a limit. Not so here. The financial institutions are tripping over themselves to feed you credit because that’s how they get to stay in business. The ease with which to get these credits (loans) without anyone knowing and the amount you can have can be a temptation too great to overcome for the newcomer.

Two months into my stay in the U.S., a $2,500-credit card arrived in my mailbox. I didn’t even apply for it! I was like “you mean, I can just spend $2,500? Just like that? And all I have to pay back is $25/month in minimum payment?” Yep. It sounded too good to be true. And I was right. If I had fallen, I may still be paying back till today lol because it came with like 30% APR!

The way to build a great credit score here and take charge of your finances is by not losing the best of the culture we were raised in.

1. Buy only the things you need. The fact that it is on “sale” or discount doesn’t mean anything. If you don’t need it, don’t buy it. How do you know it’s a need? If its deficiency would cause a clear adverse outcome, ie its absence would lead to a dysfunction. Anything else is wants.
2. Never ask, can I make the monthly payment? They always make sure the monthly payments are low enough. Ask instead: what is the total cost? And then determine if this is good value.
3. Live within your means. Money is less about maths and more about psychology. Resist the urge to show you have arrived when in fact, you are still arriving. Those who have truly arrived don’t want people to know.
4. Don’t view the credit card as a gift or an extra source of income. It’s not. Use it to build a good credit history, and for the cash back points. Anything else, and they are the ones playing you. You should be playing them. You didn’t come here to count bridge.
