What is the richest tribe in Nigeria?
The Hausa tribeThere are three major tribes that have been able to claim political power over the last 58 years. In a country in which business thrives majorly through Government patronage and support , proximity to power determines how big your business grows. This tribe has been able to clinch to power for the longest hence they have been able to enrich theirs the most.Based on this factor the Hausa tribe must be the richest, however they are super conservative so you will not see a visual display of their wealth like you would the Yoruba or Igbo.The most entrepreneurial Hausa man ever is Dangote and of course he’s the richest African on the Forbes list, this goes to show how much the proximity to power can help you in destroying the competition and ensuring that all odds are in your favor.
A Biafra taxi driver told me that the U.K. still controls Nigeria through the Nigerian Army. Is this true?
An ibo taxi man who leans towards “biafra” told me the same thing.So I asked how…?But I couldn't get a simple coherent or credible answer.He went on a tirade on how the British disproportionately gave more power to the north and how the land mass is larger than the rest of the country, how there's been no ibo president, how the military is predominantly northern, how the yorubas and hausas removed Jonathan (who was a little bit ibo leaning) but no truth as to how HRM the Queen through the military establishment was the De facto GCFR MNI GCON.So it was my turn to ask questionsWho planned the first military coup in Nigeria? During the coup what was the plan as regarding “draining the swamp”? What ethnic group leaders were cut down during the coup and what happened to the rest of our “founding fathers” why were they not part of the swamp to be drained? If the queen still rules us are we still a part of the UK? As a secret British national what rights secret and open do I have?That was when I realised that a lot of propaganda is expended in educating people falsely.Then people just want simple answers to questions they will not be bothered by the truth or details. A false narrative that solves all the problems of Nigeria and saves people is usually continually repeated and then followed by insults and hate.No insult to taxi drivers (uber drivers too) but I do not think a driver’s opinion about the military and the control of government is appropriate. Usually it accurately illiterate
How do other countries view Nigeria overpopulation?
I don't know about other countries but I think Nigeria is overpopulated but not that quit overpopulated as other countries preview it Nigeria has a total land mass of about 910,768 with a total population of about 190,886,311 according to the latest estimate by the United Nations in July 1st of 2017 by the looks of it Nigeria population density is about 210/KM2 now this is were the talk of over population comes in I have lived in Nigeria for 12 years in Lagos,abuja,jos,kano and have been to various states in the country from (2004–2016)Now I have observed that Nigeria is truly densely populated and there are alot of traffic I observed that many Nigerian family had a total of more than 5–6 children especially in the northern part of the country the countries population increases in a rapid way that can be observed in a couple of years.i would say that their are many cities in Nigeria that are overcrowded examples are Lagos, Port Harcourt,Aba,onitcha,jos,warri,kano etc an as well part of Abuja. Nigeria is as well over congested espesially in the Urban areas where their is large population.These are pictures that shows Nigeria is densely overpopulatedThis shows Nigeria is densely overpopulatedThis is map that shows Nigeria population. density by stateThis Image shows the rank of Nigeria population in AfricaOver population is the major problem of the country it is believe to reach about 440 million in 2050 and become the 3rd most populated country in the World few years before 2050 suparssing the United States. not only Nigeria is overpopulated but it is increasing rapidlyluckily the government is finding was to control it but instead the population of the country keeps boomingNigeria population has increased from 45 million in 1960 to 190 million in 2017 Nigeria is truly overpopulated.

How similar is modern Navy shore leave to its romanticized old depiction?
I’m reminded of the difference between a fairy tale and a sea story. A fairy tale starts out, “once upon a time”, and a sea story starts out, “now this ain’t no shit”.Whatever the old stories were compared to now most likely started out, “now this ain’t no shit”.The older sailors were probably 4.0 sailors but 2.5 Navy. If you get my drift.
What is the most useless country in the world in terms of resources, economy, etc.?
In the middle of the Pacific ocean lies Nauru.This tiny island country has a population of merely 12,000 people and has only one source of income; they operate a controversial detention center for Australia, referred to as “Australia’s Guantanamo Bay”.Nauru was once a source of great wealth, but bad choices caused it to crash.Phosphate, used as a fertilizer and a key component in explosives, had been discovered on Nauru in the early 1900s.After World War I, it was under British, Australian, and New Zealand control. The three countries created the British Phosphate Commission to oversee the phosphate mining. After World War II, it went under Australian control, and became independent in 1968.Thanks to all the phosphate mining, Nauruans were quite wealthy, but it couldn’t last forever. They began to throw it around in unwise investments, including a skyscraper in Melbourne, foreign hotels, and short-lived phosphate factories in the Phillipines and India.The biggest drain of all was an airline, Air Nauru. Their planes often flew half-empty, causing enormous loss.When the phosphate ran out and the environmental effects set in, there was nothing left to provide a source of income.By 2000, Nauru crashed. There was no more phosphate, and bad investments caught up. The country was practically bankrupt.Nauruans suffer from an obesity rate of 71%, and 94.5% of the populations is at least overweight. The mining has destroyed three-quarters of the country into an inhospitable wasteland.The country’s indigenous culture has also been just about destroyed by years of Western lifestyle.Furthermore, Nauru’s government actually relies on Australians and New Zealanders to keep it running, especially in the law. Yep, that’s how much the country has declined —they need foreigners to help with governmental functions.Today, Nauru is threatened by rising sea levels, and only one-fourth of them could possibly afford a ticket to escape.For this island, they can only go up or down —down below the sea.
What happens to the old US military firearms as they are replaced?
Well there are a few answers to this question.#1: “The Full Auto Ones.”Well actually most US military weapons are full auto now. The M-4 /M-16 are ‘3 round burst’ and ‘full auto’ but are almost never used as such. they are just used semi-auto.Really the only US military arms that are around in any number that are not Select Fire are Bolt Action Rifles and hand guns… So just go buy those. There is really no such thing as buying a Surplus M-16 that’s been ‘fixed’ to not fire full auto anymore.. That’s called a AR-15… They just make them like that.#2: You can legally own a fully automatic weapon… It just takes a tax stamp and for you to live some place that does not have a local law against it… That’s most places by the way.#3: Most US military weapons that are no longer in use… you don’t want to buy, they are not in use for a reason… They are falling apart.#4: There are actually some surplus weapons you can buy.. For Instance you can still buy M1’s. M14’s. Stuff like that, but most of those are sold to gun dealers and you buy the weapons from those dealers. You normally don’t buy them direction.#5: It should also be noted (And this is just my educated opinion and experience)You don’t want them….Pretty much ever US weapon has a Civilian version that is sold by the manufacturer. And in many cases they are better… The M-16 is largely considered the worst “Exceptable Weapon System” Available.The AR-15 is more reliable then the M-4 or M-16… And it’s considered unreliable and fragile.-The other reason you don’t want them… They are over prices. I can litterally give you a better in every way alternative to every US military weapon used.Want a better version of the AR-15? Go by the Civilian version of the G36._Three exceptions to this rule.M1.M14.M1911.All of these weapons have really good affordable civilian versions that you can buy._________________________To answer what happens to most of them. One of three things.A: They are sold to civilian gun stores. (This does not happen any more for the most part, because civilians can just buy a weapon for less or slightly more that’s not used)B: They are sold to other nations Military.C: They are destroyed. mostly this is what happened. because they are more or less useless in there condition.

Should Mark McGwire be in the Hall of Fame?
For me, McGwire is a hard case. He obviously used steroids. In fact, I'd say there's a good chance he used them for most if not all of his career. That is a big mark against him. Aside from that, there's his production. Yes, he hit a lot of home runs. Yes, for a few years, he was the single season record holder. I'll even tell you that as a power hitter, nobody compares to McGwire. I went to the All Star Game in 1996 and saw McGwire and the other all stars take batting practice. McGwire hit the ball much farther than everybody else. MUCH farther. At the all star game. That makes him a star among stars. Im not disputing his power hitting.I am disputing his skill as a baseball player. There's a reason he spent much of his career as a DH. He was average in the field, couldnt run, and in short, wasnt good for much besides hitting the long ball. Yes, he took walks. But if you have a good eye and the ability to hit a ball 450 feet, as he did, pitchers will tend to pitch around you, and the walks will come. Where I fault him offensively is his reliance on the home run. I can remember a month long stretch when he had not hit a single. Not even a single! It was homer or nothing. The other thing is that very few (less than 5%) of his home runs went to the opposite field. In a power hitter, I want to see that he can hit homers to all fields. Sosa could. A-Rod can. McGwire, well, didnt at the very least. The last two things together tell me he is a glorified softball league slugger, the guy you bring in only because of his ability to mash the ball. That is not a baseball player. That is not a Hall of Famer.So for his lack of skill in almost any area of baseball outside of hitting home runs (or getting walked) and his gratuitous use of steroids, I'd have a tough time voting him in. I can see him as a guy who eventually gets in solely because of his HR totals, and what he did with Sosa in the HR race of 1998, and how that helped the game. Only time will tell.
