Technical glitches ko. Chairman neva finish him estates.

fergie001:
Like we say in Nigeria, Go to Court.

They are already there, but as is also tradition in Nigeria, they will lose.

Where's that gentleman, WriterrNG?.

I was hoping you'd be magnanimous in defeat and humbly tender an apology to me for all the unsubstantiated and frankly, outrageous claims you made and continue to make regarding alleged Russian capabilities.

The US had not only recently picked up Maduro, a staunch Russian ally, but we are now also arresting Russian oil Tankers in the oceans.

Now, that is something ain't it?. What's Russia gonna do about it?. Are to assume that Russia is only good at throwing missiles at its neighbor, Ukraine and sheep herders in Syria?.

NewHe:
Thanks for praying for me, I say Big and loud AMEN to that.
In return, may you never succeed in Nigeria during Tinubu era, you will continue to lament and lazy around, your ability to think straight will froze. Please say amen as expected!

Oga, Save the poverty-induced insults. I owe you no explanations but allow me to educate you.

I have already achieved a reasonable measure of success in life without resorting to cutting corners.

At age 21, I single-handedly financed my education overseas, went on to become a citizen and a professional in my field, built a family, acquired properties, and personally built the home I live in today. You see why your evil, poverty-induced curse is complete nonsense?.

Check this, one reason I engage here is the deep sense of grief I feel watching a country where citizens should, by all logic, be doing reasonably well descend into misery, decay, and systemic failure. Do you truly not see it or feel it?. Even if you claim not to, someone close to you certainly does.

For clarity, I am an employer of labour in Nigeria and beyond. I work very hard and insist on the success of my businesses because 37 families depend directly on them for their livelihood.

If I fail to pay salaries this month, children will not resume schools and some will go to bed on empty stomachs. Does it matter to you?.

It is for this reason, among others, that I react strongly to blatant falsehoods and deliberate distortions pushed by individuals with no ethical or moral grounding, whose only objective is to skew narratives for short-term personal gain.

I am also among those who can state, without hesitation, that Nigeria gave me nothing, yet continues to extract a great deal from me. I am not complaining.

I employ Nigerians, pay taxes, and bring in foreign exchange, therefore will not remain silent while self-interested actors, whose only stake in this country is personal advantage, actively work to undermine it to the detriment of everyone else.

Na the reason I cursed you back and you will remain cursed. I dey vex.

aswani:
All of you who, you mean all of your various alternative monikers àbi?

Stay on the topic, Oga.

SeeWahala:
But surprisingly you have so much political opinions and views to share publicly here on nairaland for everybody to see 🤗 EXACTLY like the Peter Obi you're castigating to become like you and SHARE NO OPINION CONCERNING POLITCS

Sweet & Glaring hypocrisy of the chameleon 🦎 aswani 😏

I still remember when he was telling me he didn't follow politics at all and was just commenting as a NeUtWuAL

Shey you dey see your life, Aswani. All of us don see you finish

Omowale2023:
Obi will not go to ADC without been sure of the presidential ticket. ADC can't Field a northern, they will loose the elections. The whole south will vote for Tinubu if Obi Is not on the ballot, the south won't vote another northern in 2027, God forbid bad thing 😭!

So relax, Obi is your presidential candidate for ADC 2027, and you can take that to the bank.

They are not paid to reason. Their job is to rub in as much nonsense as they can.

David Mark was in Enugu at the declaration, so is Tambuwal. But they lack the requisite acumen to decode the significance of these presence.

Una see this politics, all of us go learn am together this time.

flokii:
I'm certain Mr. Obi won't be on the ballot in 2027.. he is no match for those bigwigs in ADC.

The same thing Atiku did in PDP is what he will repeat in ADC. I'm even surprised the Agulu man walked right into the trap opposition set for him.

Shut up!. Cho cho cho. You sef no get work?. Na so una take run mouth in 2023, 4 people tweeting indide a room.

When happened when Mr. Obi disgraced tour drug baron and won the election?. Why was Irev quickly shut down?.

You and your paid gang neeed to find another gaslight, dis one don cast.

You can't win Lagos, but you won Nigeria, nonsense.

NewHe:
The only person that can prepare solid ground for Nigeria prosperity is no one than Tinubu!
He did it in Lagos, he's doing it at the National level, sentiments aside!

Make thunder chop your left yansh. May Tinubu happen to you and your household, say amen.

This is the nonsense some people are paid to defend here on Nairaland.

2027 presents Nigeria an opportunity to redeem itself from the strangulation of hospice patients disguised as leaders.

To get visa go anywhere sef don hard pass bone. If una like, make una dey play. Una wey no even get blue or red passports like us, na una eyes go still clear inside bongo las las.

SIawomir:
Stop this nonsense, there's no "Igbo speaking part of Cross-River state", not one.

There is. Do not speak out of ignorance.

I just prayed Tinubu will be the last old cargo to governed this country , young agile person should be there after 2031!

2027!

SlayQueenSlayer:
It does not work this way in a democracy. Respect and trust the process.

Like they trusted Mahmood and Tinubu to play fair.

Kdon2:
This article is written from a bias minded optic. The argument are defective and deeply off course. Making the civil war basis for ibos alleged exclusion is rather a poor attempt at explaining Nigeria complex politics. It is at best deliberate effort at playing the victim card.

That you refused to correctly address the Igbo ethnicity as Igbo, rather than Ibo, is a clear manifestation of your tribal bias.

helinues:
Go to court and save us the as usual nagging

And what's the difference between German Taurus missile and French SCALP or British Storm Shadow missiles?

The best of the best US/NATO air defense systems (Patriot, THAAD, IRIS-T) have been sent to Ukraine.

Fighter jets, depleted uranium shells, chemical weapons, HIMARS, ATACMS, drones (both air and sea drones), tanks, IFVs and the entire US/NATO satellite surveillance systems have been handed to Ukraine.

The only thing left to send are nukes, nothing else.

Both Biden and Trump have confessed that the U.S weapons stock is nearly empty. Even EU leaders have said the same.

When are y'all gonna finally admit that Russia isn't your match. Just stick to what you do best, fighting goat herders and orphans in Gaza.

How are you, my friend?. Did you catch this?. The U.S. waltzed into Venezuela, grabbed Maduro and his misses, and flew them out like excess baggage. End of story. That’s decisive power, something Putin never even came close to pulling off in Ukraine.

These are NATO armed Ukrainian soldiers, fully equipped with state of the art weapons. This is who Russia has been fighting with and still able to capture territories as large as the United Kingdom.

A proper European sophisticated army. The best armed in Europe. More than Germany and France combined.

Now show us the barefooted goat herders in Afghanistan that the U.S fought for 20 years and lost to.

My friend, resorting to demonstrably false claims in an attempt to prevail in an argument only diminishes the quality of the discourse.

Much of your submission is factually unsound, and I do not have the time to address every misstatement individually. That said, a few core points must be made.

Russia. and Vladimir Putin personally, has suffered profound strategic and reputational damage in Ukraine. The invasion has failed to achieve its primary objectives, exposed deep structural weaknesses in Russia’s military, and permanently altered how the world perceives Russian power. Absent sustained Western hesitation and political division, most notably within the United States, Russia would likely be facing even more decisive setbacks today.

Ukraine’s resistance has earned widespread respect and admiration, while Russia’s image as a first-rate conventional military power has been severely downgraded. What remains of Russia’s deterrence credibility rests overwhelmingly on its nuclear arsenal, not on its conventional forces. That reality alone, as I have told you before, should be sobering.

Russia’s much-vaunted T-90 tanks and other legacy systems have underperformed in modern combined-arms warfare, particularly against precision weapons, drones, and networked intelligence. This is not a matter of opinion; it is borne out by battlefield evidence and independent assessments.

More broadly, Russia’s military technology lags behind that of its principal peers. While the Soviet Union once excelled at mass production of durable hardware, modern warfare is now driven by information dominance, precision, logistics, and interoperability, areas where Russia has struggled consistently.

The United States and NATO excel here, and even China, despite lacking combat experience, has surpassed Russia in several key technological domains.

War today is fundamentally technology-driven and systems-integrated. Russia’s failure to adapt to this reality is a central reason it has not achieved its stated objectives in Ukraine.

We can debate endlessly, but an unwillingness to reassess clearly untenable claims only prolongs the discussion without advancing it. Facts are stubborn, and the available evidence overwhelmingly contradicts the narrative you are advancing.

Vladimir Putin is an internationally indicted war criminal under ICC warrants and governs as an authoritarian ruler. His military record, Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, and now Ukraine, shows a pattern of brutality paired with limited strategic success and long-term instability rather than decisive victory. Russia also lost to the same Afghan goat herders you mentioned.

Economically, Russia remains heavily dependent on fossil fuel exports. Sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies have significantly constrained Russia’s economic flexibility, degraded its industrial base, and reduced long-term growth prospects. Continued reliance on discounted energy sales to China and India underscores weakness, not strength. Russia’s economy persists, but it does so under mounting structural strain.

Sanctions are a form of power projection, and in this domain Russia has little leverage. It lacks the economic centrality or indispensable exports required to impose comparable pressure on others.

The broader point is simple: war is multifaceted, military, economic, technological, and diplomatic. Across most of these dimensions, Russia is at a disadvantage relative to the United States and its allies.

Ultimately, time will determine how this conflict concludes. But the notion that Putin’s Russia represents a peer competitor to the United States in global power projection is simply not credible.

The evidence has already rendered its verdict.

You sef know the truth na, abi make we still tell am?.

Your former Madam went for family introduction to achieve the next level, na make she get mind throw you under the bus.

Move on, the train don pass Kafanchan.

Putinofrussia:
lol
Was Tinubu the governor then?

Tinubu has continued to rule Lagos since 1999 until today. That is 26 years.

He is the god of Lagos when it suits his minions, and he has never seen Lagos when we hold him responsible for his atrocious behaviors.

If you are going to argue eotj me, wji h is wholly welcomed, please stick to the facts. My time is limited.

Germany for example continue to deny Ukraine the Taurus, a definite game changer that would've had the Kremlin sweating like sacrificial goat.

Same denial is true for most alliance partners. NATO policy has always been containment, whichso far is satisfactorily achieved with F16, Nlaw, Abrams, Leopards, patriots etc.

Should F22 and F53 enter Ukraine?. How about once or two US aircraft carriers stationed on the Mediterranean and ost seas?.

It is worthy to note that most of the alliance weapons in Ukraine are retired armaments which had to be restored and restocked for Ukraine. Much like our tokunbo.

In effect, Ukraine is defending herself against an aggressive and non restrained Russia with limited and out-mustered gear.

I sincerely hope you are aware that a good chunk of the people listed as missing in most African countries including Nigeria, are either fighting for Russia in Ukraine for $2000 payday, killed in Ukraine or in Ukrainian custody as POWs.

This Russia has been beaten blue and red by Germany alone, not once, and if history elects to repeat again, a re-armed Germany will prevail against Russia in a conventional war.

Your whole life have been propagandized.

What exactly will the US use to prevail against Russia except Nukes?

What does the US have that Russia does not have? Name one.

Russia has the most advanced and diversed conventional bombs and missiles in the world. The largest inventory of long range missiles in the world.

You talk about global reach like Russia isn't the number one in terms of global strike reach.

The time it will take the US to move aircraft carriers to the ocean to carry out attacks on any country, Russia would already have struck that country 5 times. Right from home, they can hit anywhere in the world with precision.

That's the real power. In this day and age missiles rule the skies. And Russia has the best of the best.

Russia have been using hypersonic weapons in active combat since 2021, while the US is yet to successfully test one, let alone field one.

Even Elon Musk, the greatest American alive today have said it a thousand times that hypersonic weapons are the future. Russia is the number one leader in hypersonic weapons.

They've been using it back to back to back throughout the Ukraine war.

Ukraine has lost lands as big as the United Kingdom to Russia. Lands they will never have back.

What did the ragtag Taliban lose to the US?

You may wanna read through what you wrote again, and may be attempt to rehabilitate your erroneous assumptions, and there are a good number of them.

Vladimir Putin should be ashamed of himself and his country's abysmal performance in Ukraine. He finally confirmed Russia's deficiency both in quality and efficiency.

If you as Russia have to resort to ill trained North Korean fighters, and forcefully conscripting African and indo Asians to fight a tiny Ukraine on your behalf, what other proof do anyone need to determine that you're simply deficient in the goal you have set for yourself?.

The reality is, if push came to shove, the United States does not need to fire a live bullet at Russia. Imposing debilitating sanctions on Putin's life lines will do half of the heavy lifting before first shots are fired.

Vladimir Putin is currently caged in Moscow on account of an ICC arrest warrant slapped on by Biden and his European partners. Now, tell me who the purn in the game is?.

Vladimir is a small fry with atomic bombs, that's his only saving grace so far, but India and pakistan have those as well, without which, NATO would leisurely march to Moscow and give him the Sadam Hussein treatment.

He's lucky Donald Trump won the election.

Peter Obi has always been a part of the coalition. You cannot join what you participated in establishing.

Now, however, is the time to hunker down, and work to deliver the next government for the interests of the Nigerian people.

The US fought the poorest country in the world Afghanistan for 20 years. What was their "milestones"? 🤡 🤡 🤡

Ukraine ceded large territories to Russia. What did Afghanistan cede to America?

Guy, rest!.

Face your rapidly disintegrating Nigeria.
Strip away nuclear warheads, and the United States would prevail against Russia in a direct, conventional confrontation within weeks or months.

The U.S. possesses a highly modern military with global reach, superior technology, an extensive alliance network, elite special forces, more advanced and better-performing airframes, the world’s strongest space force, and the largest aircraft carrier and submarine fleet on earth and the list goes on.

Even with limited but consistent support from NATO towards the Ukrainians, Russia has been unable to decisively gain the upper hand in the war of attrition in Donbas or across Ukraine as a whole. Had Kamala Harris won the U.S. presidential election, the situation on the ground today would likely look very different, clearly in Ukraine’s favor.

If Russia cannot defeat a relatively small Ukrainian military, how does it expect to confront the world’s only superpower in a conventional warfare?.

And should the conflict go nuclear, the United States currently has nuclear-armed submarines stationed across the globe, ready to respond within minutes. That is without even mentioning its intercontinental ballistic missile capability.

Ask yourself this: why do most Russian commercial airlines prefer flying Boeing or Airbus aircraft over Russian-made models?.

Finally, let us not forget history. Russia, then the Soviet Union, a confederate entity with other countries now independent, was the first to fail in Afghanistan.

From 1979 to 1989, the USSR fought a costly ten-year war that ended in withdrawal and failure. The Mujahideen inflicted what was described as a “bleeding wound,” contributing significantly to the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union.

The Soviets were poorly trained for the terrain and relied on unsuitable tactics against a well-coordinated guerrilla force, aided decisively by the U.S. which also supplied Stinger missiles.

I do not know how old you are, but it is clear that what you present is largely textbook knowledge. Some of us, however, lived through these events.
