God I can’t wait for Buhari to leave office. He knows who ever succeeds him would not greenlight such ridiculous project, so he’s rushing quickly to do this before he leaves office.

Well done Akwa Ibom. It seems like it’s the most peaceful state in the country right now.

Christistruth00:
Ipokia is Awori and Egbado both are Yorubas

It’s easy to mislabel all of Ogun west as Egbado or Awori. Ipokia is mainly Anago which is continuous with those in Benin Republic.

Ipokia is unique because it’s one of the few parts of SW, where many people have family ties to yorubas in Benin republic. Although those in Ipokia are commonly mistaken for egbado, both are distinct groups despite many similarities.

dollynnn:
And they will still vote for APC again

Please what’s the difference between APC and PDP because they are both failures as far as I’m concerned.

Iyaebe:
Buhari has truly failed Nigerians, Only Tinubu can fix this mess.

Tinubu said he will recruit the youth in the army and feed them cassava instead of providing quality jobs.

But yes out of the 200 million people we have in Nigeria, ONLY Tinubu can fix this mess.

Bigchristo:
You’re so stupid to think it’s only Muslim who supports Russia invasion of Ukraine, the world is glad to see US being dethroned as world power because with the invasion Putin has exposed the weakness of US to the world I am a proud Christian I am glad to see US being humiliated by Russia all of you thought when a pin drop in Ukraine the US will hurriedly came to their rescue but yeah they left Ukraine to burn this serves as an example to those countries like Nigeria who allowed themselves to be brainwashed by western countries, don’t build your strong military and procurement equipment allow some Wolfe telling you they’re friends to sheep

You are a proud christian who supports the annihilation of another nation because it makes the US look weak.
There is no moral dilemma here.
1.) I also hate US imperialism and hegemony.
2.) I hate imperialism in general because it hurts weaker countries, so I have to also hate Russian imperialism.
3.) I don’t support Russia invading And bombing Ukraine.
It’s not that hard to be against all three as a decent person.

The political elites have ignored terrorism and insecurity for so long because it mostly affects poor farmers in the village. Maybe they will start to take notice when it affects them personally.

It takes a tragedy to implement a surveillance system. As usual, no foresight from the government to do this before until things get bad.

TheOgaBoss:
y is he now accepting not to join NATO after many have paid with their lives, if he had used diplomacy in the beginning and accept neutrality he would have saved his people. In life there are some battles u just avoid.

Actually he agreed to not joining NATO back in February during the end of the pre-invasion talks, but Russia invaded anyway because they never intended to respect Ukrainian borders. NATO was just an excuse because Putin didn't recognized their sovereignty in 2014 when they invaded and annexed two states in the country. In 2014, Ukraine was not bidding to join NATO. The talks of Ukraine joining NATO only became realized once again because after Russia has already invaded. Putin just wants Ukraine to unite with Russia because of shared cultural history and economic importance.

Nukilia:
Zelensky must pay for the betrayal of his people! I can imagine if GEJ had used stronghead to stay as president in 2015, Nigeria would have been a dead zone by now.

Today, all Nigerians are paying for the deception of APC.

We have to be honest with ourselves.

If Russia were to invade Nigeria, GEJ and Buhari would fold their arms and let Russia take over and then they would be promptly exiled to Seychelles if not executed. PDP and APC have ran this country since 1999 and they are both trash. How pathetic was GEJ when he ran to America to beg Obama to help "fix Africa." I watched that interview with Obama and immediately realized that he was an embarrassment as a president. Then Buhari who campaigned on attacking corruption came along and worsened corruption, tribalism and cronyism in the country.

Instead of them to blame Putin they are blaming Zelensky.
na wa for Nigerians o

I'm starting to see from NL that the 50% that support the invasion of another sovereign country is why Nigeria is not progressing. They say Zelensky is too young and was a comedian before running for office and that makes him a bad leader. No logic whatsoever. These are the same people who would rather elect a corrupt politician of 40 years that will steal their money rather than an activist who uses their comedic platform to criticize corruption in the government.

Do you see why it will take a long time for Nigeria to progress with mindsets of people like this. It's not just the government, it's the people that elect, support and campaign for bad government.

Officialgarri:
They both engaged in illegal business so whoever likes can win the tussle.

And owing to the fact that women are so manipulative with their wicked tears, it might be hard to tell that the Police man was actually defending his own right of the bargain.

The woman obviously didn't fulfill her own part of the bargain

People like you who justify police brutality when it suits them is why the police will continue to beat and abuse people forever.

With that response, I won't be surprised if you are a domestic abuser.

One reason why Nigeria is a failed democracy or rather why APC and PDP are two of the same parcels if members can switch allegiance so easily. But people will swear to their core that APC and PDP are so different.

Malory:
Indonesia has been tough towards Nigerians for a long time now

It's not just Indonesia. There are so many xenophobic and racist countries that Nigerians should avoid going to. But desperation of people in wanting to leave the country outweighs reasoning and rationale sometimes.

bizzibodi:
The skin alone is a money spinner.

Lol what brand is going to pay for second grade snake skin from the street? Maybe they can sell it at a local market. But that's not a money spinner lol.

VEHINTOLAR:
There is nothing in any African country and even beyond that you cannot find in Nigeria. Doubt me not;it's a fact. We have the good weather, the beautiful landscapes,arrays of delicious delicacies and good foods,amazing cultures and beautiful people everywhere you go ! The day Nigeria gets her act right even some of the so called developed countries of this world will realise that indeed she is a giant ! In Lagos alone,there are lots of incredibly beautiful beaches with amazing sceneries that could attract tourists from world over if properly developed.

True, but we've decimated our natural environments though. Most of our rainforests are gone due to lack of conservation. Cross River is the only state in Nigeria which still has most of its primary rainforest intact. Nigeria used to have thriving safari ecosystems full of elephants, lions, giraffes, cheetahs etc, but most of the animals are hunted to extinction or near for quick profit and meat consumption. Most of our beaches and rivers are polluted with rubbish and hydrocarbons. Other countries like Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa recognize that long term investment in their natural environment generates tourism and jobs. Poor rural communities in those countries are educated about sustainability and live in accordance with nature, whereas most Nigerians are averse to nature.

ghettochild:
I don dey this South Africa for over 4 years and there's never been a case of tanker fire..infact their tankers even dey carry small pikin tank for back yet no disaster.
Something is really wrong with Nigeria.

Lack safety protocols at every step of the way. The roads are also bad creating high likelihood of accidents and fire. Not to mention all the desperate people who collect leaking fuel creating a nightmare scenario in which tankers can explode and scores of people are killed.

Savagery in full display. I weep for this country.

NGArmyTerrorist:
[s][/s] And you say "you're patriot. " Seems like there's another word you're referring to. Maybe bigot or maybe poverty slapped your face that you don't reason well again. Must everybody stay behind with you in the Zoo or do you think everybody is impoverished like you that they can't move elsewhere to get fresh air. They are still part of you and your comment doesn't add or remove anything.

I agree with the guy. What separates the rest of the world from Nigeria is that we never take accountability for their own internal issues. We hate each other and we are too divided to realize we are the architect of our own suffering. Instead, we will rather run away from our problems, but those problems will remain. I will always encourage people to go elsewhere legally if you get the chance. The paradox is that when common Nigerians do go outside of the country, you begin to see why the country is the way it is. However, you realize you as an individual can't make a difference because people are stuck in perpetual darkness that makes them blind to their reality.

MansoryMX:
What annoys me the most is that the idiot Putin is claiming victim on a war he initiated in a sovereignty nation.

Watch out for Putin fanboys on NL who are saying Zelensky brought the invasion on his country. And don't forget those praising Putin as a strong leader because he's fighting America.

tonididdy:
Ain't looking up shit.
There's nothing brave or heroic in fighting and still loosing.
It's stupidity that can be avoided.

Exactly! You don't look shit up yet you are here making dumb uninformed claims with confidence.

tonididdy:
From day1 I have stood with the Russians on this "military intervention".
Xelensky is a comedian and not fit for president. Too young and confused to think like an adult. Well he's entire family is safe outside Ukraine, why would he care to sacrifice his nationals mercilessly.
Staging war with the Russians and thinking some dumbass country in the world will fight with him because he thinks Russia is hated, was the dumbest idea by any sitting politician.
Now, gradually the world is turning her back on Ukraine and the stupid xelensky is always quick to attack and be rude .
That's the definition of an adult child!.


Dumb, dumb... Dumb, even more dumb are Ukrainians picking up arms to defend shit.
there's nothing heroic in fighting and failing

Nigerians always speak on issues you know nothing of.
Ukrainians fight back against Russian aggression not because everyone wants to die a hero (what a ridiculous take ). They are fighting against the Russian invasion because they have lived under Russian imperialism for decades and many still remember the suffering they endured. Russian imperialism attempted to wipe their national identity including suppressing their language. Look up "holodomar", which was a famine in the 1930s caused by Soviet era policy that resulted in the deaths of millions of Ukrainians. This is why it's no surprise that 92% of Ukrainians voted to be independent from Russia after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.

Nigeria is a country that has only exist in the last 100 years comprised of multitude of ethnicities who despise one another. This is why you will never understand why Ukrainians are so reluctant to live under Russian imperialism.

FYI Zelensky the young COMEDIAN is better than an average old Nigerian politician. If a foreign power invades Nigeria tomorrow, Buhari and government officials will be seeking refuge in Britain the next day leaving the fate of their people at the hands of outside entities. Meanwhile you have government officials in Ukraine fighting on ground with common people.

baralatie:
So you think that Ukraine a border country with Russia should install a nuclear weapon from the usa pointing into Russia.
And this will not put the two into war?

1. Ukraine used to have nuclear weapons. Russia (yes that same Russia) and the USA signed the 1994 Budapest memorandum in which they both guaranteed to protect the sovereignty of Ukraine if Ukraine hands over its nuclear weapons.

2. I don't think you understand how nuclear warfare works. Why would USA attack Russia unprovoked with nuclear weapons when nuclear fallout will also hurt neighboring European countries including its Nato allies??

elijahkayode:
Zelenskyy comedian joker ((((((��)))
The citizens of Africa, asia are dieing everyday from the west numerous invasion
You've drop bomb all over the world at what cost more suffering (Iran, afghanistan Japan, Africa nations)
A three yea old in Iraq can kill millions with bomb due to your endless wars
Ethnic Nigerian from (igbo to yoruba) are genocide in thousands by bandit sponsored by the west to divide us because the west won't release us from slavery

Now you divide brother Ukraine & Russia to war to weaken themeself so you can rule the west divide and rule
Putin pls stop war attack zelenskyy alone hes the betrayal an comedian (joker ��� sent to poison your people)
Zelenskyy should go away

So, what if he's a comedian?
And that comedian won 73% of the votes in 2019 election. I know in Nigeria, the word comedian is associated with joker and not someone serious like an average corrupt career politician. I also know that it's hard for you to wrap your mind around the fact that in other countries, high-ranking comedians win the heart of the people by speaking truth to power and effecting political changes.

Mftivi:
you don't get, the invasion wouldn't have happened if he went for a neutral Ukraine but he thought he had full backing of the west after they have funded him and given him weapon he used to terrorize the Donbass russia speaking region for years.

And why won't he fight the rebels in Donbass when the rebels were expanding their territory into government held areas. People like act as if Donbass is an ethnic Russian enclave which it's not.

Yes, most people in Donbass speak Russian as a first language. However, Ukranians are still the majority in Donbass and the Russians are a minority. The Russian-speaking Ukranians are a result of suppression of the Ukrainian language in schools and in public under decades of Russian and Soviet rule.

Almost all of the people that I see on NL that are pro-russian don't have a basic understanding of the historical context of the region. The basis of their narrow-minded thinking is:
"Ukraine is bad because they are supported by the west which is also bad." OR
"Russia is good because Putin (the dictator who kills and oppresses dissidents) is a strong leader."

DoggoneDogg:
[s][/s]

For usurping a democratically elected government and acting as the front to a foreign-run rogue regime.

That's a lie and it seems like you have fallen to Russia propaganda. Zelensky won 73% of the votes and part of the reason he was popular with the people was because he was a comedian who spoke against corruption.

SarkinYarki:
Tested men saying the truth ...If not the Russians that are doing invasion with kids glove Zelensky should be in black dolphin prison by now

Do you hear yourself? You have all the criticisms for the leader of Ukraine while praising the man invading a sovereign nation? For God's sake why do so many Nigerians love dictators? It seems that years under oppressive governments have made people fall victim to Stockholm syndrome.

Princewill1:
Zelensky is currently the dumbest president in world today.

Imagine plugging a poor country like Ukraine into a war between US and Russia.

While there are wanton human and infrastructural destruction going in Ukraine. People in Washington and Moscow are sipping their coffees.

It's like making your home, the battleground of an international conflict.

How dumb can a president be?

Please tell me how he is plunging his country into a war with Russia, when Russia was the country that invaded his country? That's like Cameroon invading Nigeria and you say it's the fault of Nigeria.

Let's keep in mind this is not the first time that same Russia (the aggressor) invaded Ukraine in 2014 when they annexed part of their territory and began funding rebels in the east of the country. So if you were a leader of an independent sovereign country, you will bend over to another nation's demands in the hopes they stop invading, even though their track record has suggested otherwise??

KUNZEH:
Funny, after pushing the Mumu Comedian into war

And that comedian displays better leadership than most African presidents. A dense individual like you would chose a corrupt career politician over a competent comedian who speaks truth to power. Change your mindset.

tillaman:

Ukraine’s Zelensky go follow mouth, all these killings are avoidable I swear
Na Ego and undiluted mumu cause am

So you blame the country being invaded and not the invader for the killings.

HitSong:
Stop talking trash.
NATO signed agreement with Russia not to expand to their borders, but today, NATO has almost surrounded Russia by building military bases around their bordering countries (old Soviet Union)
If your neighbor start keeping company or making friends with people whom you think are ritualists, criminals and drug pushers, will you keep quiet and say it doesn't concern you? Are you not going to be in danger of being a victim one day?
Make una no just dey side this evil America ignorantly. America has terrorized more countries than any other country in this world. America was the first and only country in the the world to have used nuclear weapons to kill humans in history.
Stop following the crowd to talk nonsense. Do your own research.

What is the name of the written agreement sir?? I’ll wait because I know for a fact that such thing doesn’t exist. In fact the only agreement that is violated here is the Budapest memorandum in which Russia and USA promised to safeguard Ukrane’s sovereignty in exchange for giving up its nuclear weapons.
