WriteerNg: Mr literate, the US number one objective was to topple the Taliban government and they failed woefully at that. Today the Taliban rules Afghanistan.
Al Qaeda was just a secondary objective. And they didn't even succeed at that.
Al Qaeda a secondary objective? This is the funniest shit I've heard this year.....Omo stick to gossips and topics within your IQ
WriteerNg: It wasn't meant to end within weeks. You just made that up.
No single Russian official have ever said that.
By the way the US fought the ragtag Taliban for 20 years only to lose to them.
32 NATO countries sent troops to help the USA fight goat herders in Afghanistan.
You just confidently wrote nonsense, you still don't know the difference between Al-Qeada and Taliban, even after 20 years . U.S mission in Afghanistan was to destroy Al Qeada, drill oil and then try to remove taliban & implement democracy. The only part they failed was democracy, the Afghan mission was a huge success, if only you knew how much oil Uncle Sam got from Afghan and how Afghanistan will remain crippled economically for the next 100 years
Solution for corrupt politicians, have all of them swear with ogun, sango and all the other supernaturals that don't practice forgivenesss.....The one true God is too forgiving at times, na wetin dey make bad people get liver
jaxxy: in UK and US u can't enter a club or hotel untill u are 18 years and above.
In Nigeria 16 year old access clubs and hotels freely.
So who is really lying.
But parents can work long hours and the kids can bring their boyfriend or girlfriend home for knacking, even if they get caught, the parents would still be the one calm down or risk going to jail
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the faith of Nigeria is in the hands of Northerners, na only dem fit dabaru everything... Yorubas are too cowardly, Igbos won't rebel against their own, even if that person no benefit them, so it leaves only the originator and decider of our collective pain.......ALL HAIL THE NORTH!
If you offend Kante then you're the problem........Even tho ororo na my guy but Kante's humility is unquestionable, thousands of footballers can testify, the guy is simply MR. NICE GUY so if he's got beef with you, know that YOU'RE THE PROBLEM!
Inaccurate photo, some are dead, some are drug addicts, some are killers, some are struck with illness, some became olosho, some don jaapa and some still dey collect less than 500k salary with a monthly expense of 1 million. This is the unfortunate reality of most Nigerian classmates in a nation that's literally pressing their necks!
Who wrote the law? Who were the lawmakers that passed it? Nigeria is a country of medicine after death, most lawmakers do not read or fully comprehend the laws or acts they pass, they're mostly there just to tick a box......SHAME ON ALL OF UNA!
SeriouslySense: You are right, Someone will wake up having a good optimistic day, only for the person to see someone that is filled with hatred, because of religion, or tribe. If we were in separate countries where people have the same beliefs it will make the environment sane.
Britain is feeling the same thing we have been feeling, I don't wish it on anyone. I am even sad for the British, they are no feeling the heat from diverse beleifs, no central values, this has increased distrust in Britain. They are beginning to realise that they had a beautiful thing.
I beleive all well meaning Nigerians should call for the splitting of this country, enough is enough, no use patching what was not meant to be patched!
SeriouslySense: The greatest enemy of Africa, is Africans. Not the west. Sometimes when i look at people eyes in Nigeria, i see hatred, the kind that lead to murders.
Its time we stop blaming the west, we are very responsible, poverty and confusion comes from our ways.
Why is Japan conducive, why is botswana conducive, its because the people made it conducive.
Who is ruling the country, who is the stealing the money, why are the roads poor in some places, and the infrastructures dilapidated, its comes from our ways not the west.
If Nigeria ceases to exist, we should at least learn that our ways caused problems.
You can't ignore the root cause and focus on symptoms, the people are just symptoms of what was imposed on them, Nigeria was never meant to be a nation, we literally have almost nothing in common, not even the same ancestors. Yo ucan't comapre us a nation of over 200 million people to Botswana a nation of less than 3 million, let's be objective please, Naija is simply too large population wise for just one government, it is not America where the nation was founded on a central belief system!
Yet more Christians have been killed in the USA than Nigeria since 1960. Even if we were gullible and accepted your premise, why won't the USA and rest of the UN support the splitting of Nigeria so that each region can have its own beliefs, government and society? Could it be that such an option would not favor the West as they gain more from the poverty and confusion of Nigerians? Nobody hates a well organized and focused Africa more than the West......Believe it or not, they don't give a flip about Christians or Muslims, as long as you've got oil or resources they can exploit, they'll come after you!
Shey na him enemies he suppose appoint? Everybody needs allies, even president. Tinubu na chess player when it comes to politics, good governance nothing concern him with that but political chess, he's even crazier than Trump
bal4real: Don't be in a haste to quote or write. Go through your comment but this time, slowly. Trump never said he's going to bomb Nigeria. He said he will intervene against Islamic terrorists and bandits that are killing Christians in the Northern part of the country.
Did Trump seek any congressional approval before bombing the nuclear bunker site of Iran during Iran - Israel war?
Stop trying to be half clever, he said all options are on the table including a MILITARY STRIKE! Next, you mentioned Iran-Israel WAR, well that was military assets in a full blown conflict, not in a nation that's considered an ally to the USA. Doing so to an ally, is actually a declaration of war and the president simply does not have that authority! E.g, striking France because an ISIS leader was seen there.....Na war be that o!
Even if this Congress chooses to turn a blind eye, the Dems will win the midterm next year and that effectively cripples Trump's ability to strike Nigeria or any other bullshit he wishes to perform!
Nigerianization: See as you carry your life dash politicians. We don't even need the Arab spring to end insecurity in Nigeria. Trump said let me bomb these criminals and even the government called it an invasion. Please let's continue to stand on the mandate abeg.
Trump says a lot of shit but una too blind to notice his bullshit.....I stay in the US, so I know for a fact bombing a soverign nation without Congressional approval is not going to happen!
Yes we all know that insecurity in Nigeria didn't start with Tinubu's regime. Though Tinubu who headed the formation of terrorist party called APC played a role in making insecurity more pronounced in Nigeria by bringing Buhari a known Moslem fanatics and Jihadists sympathizer to become Nigeria's ill-fated President for 8 years. Buhari's tenure helped terrorists become more emboldened and brazen. Buhari's tenure destabilized Southeast region and made it unsafe.
Tinubu came on board and refused to govern with sincerity of purpose, integrity and fear of God. Instead he continued from where Buhari stopped with nepotism and brazen leadership arrogance and corruption.
I don't want to go further so let me give you a summary of what Tinubu can do to bring insecurity down drastically if he truly desires to.
1.) Forget about reelection and govern Nigeria with honesty, open heart, integrity and fear God just to write your name in the sands of history
2.) After making the number 1 decision above, Tinubu should be ready to step on toes without fear by visiting the list of terror sponsors in Nigeria. Arrest them immediately without delay and create a special court to try them as fast as possible and make the trial open to media broadcast for the whole world to hear their testimonies in court.
3.) Hire foreign mercenaries, halt the unimportant coastal highway and use the fund to hire two different foreign mercenaries to flush out Boko Haram and Bandits in Northwest and Northeast.
They must come with attack drones, surveillance systems and aerial surveillance to monitor all our forests and highways. Give them go ahead order to bomb and eliminate any armed person or group found in the forests without seeking for further approval. And before then, order our military back to their barracks cos they have failed and will continue to fail cos they are compromised already.
3.) sign the Forest Guards into law and release funds to states to start full implementation. They must carry the highest level of weapons with drone stations and must station in the forests only. Only indigenes of each LGA must be recruited, no outsider.
4.) As he banned open grazing, enforcement must follow through Forest Guards and the foreign mercenaries.
Let me stop here for now
Under which president was the first amnesty given to these terrorist/jihadist? Why was this done? It's easy to bark theories but when it comes to practical your balls are not BIG enough! Not even Tinubu can stop these folks because they are all in the government in all parties, even the so called big men are their sponsors. Until you're ready to lay down your life, barking theories online won't solve shin shin, the terrorists are willing to gamble their lives, ARE YOU?
I suspect not, life is too sweet for you and many of us online hence we can't do like the arab spring or the Kenyans, we will continue to lament onlin e while hoping an imaginary president will save the day......SMH!
You dey earn 100k monthly and you believe na woman matter be your priority for this economy?.....Dem suppose gather beat sense into you, up your level and start making real money, you're in no position to even dream about love, manage olosho if konji wan finish you but stay away from relationship until you become a REAL man!
Tellling Nigerians that mass killings in Nigeria are nothing new - is nothing but a provocation. Bola Tinubu isn't being paid to sit in Aso Rock to enjoy the perquisites that come with the office he holds. He (and his team) are there to solve problems. He is there to put a stop to the killings.
Holding the Tinubu administration accountable is not "a naive way to look at things". What does that even mean? The man asked and fought for the job and told Nigerians to hold him responsible for performance - and that's exactly what we are doing. This isn't the time for you to make excuses on his behalf!
You can't ask me (a private citizen) for the solution to the problem. BAT has an entire federal bureaucracy behind him and they are paid big salaries to solve these problems we are talking about. Finding a solution is BAT's responsibility, not mine.
The most annoying thing is we can see some of the lapses that the administration is pretending not to see. In my last reply to you I asked why the military commander who ordered the withdrawal of soldiers (guarding the girls school at Maga) has not been identified. What do you have to say about that?
^^^
No we are not 'just ranting online'. We are reminding BAT that two years ago he swore an oath to do certain things on behalf of 200 million plus Nigerians. He has sacred responsibilities to those people and he is failing at keeping his own end of the bargain.
Like I said earlier, it is BAT's responsibility to find solutions to the problems, not mine. We are angry because he doesn't even seem to be trying.
Let me remind you that a few months ago, BAT publicly queried the IGP about the failure to apprehend a single one of the perpetrators of the Yelwata massacre. The IGP simply sat down without responding. That tells you all you need to know.
One would expect that the president would have asked a question like that following the very first massacre of defenceless Nigerians after he got into power in 2023. Apparently he hadn't asked that sort of question since he took office because if he had, then the security forces would have handled subsequent attacks very differently.
^^ Means the problem is bigger than the government then.
In all you wrote you failed to mention any credible solution, it is easy to point out problems but bringing out solutions is where majority of Nigerians develop amnesia!
What do you mean we can't ask you for a solution? Come abroad and see how town halls, polls and sometimes open letter to the president and other lected officials get things done.......Again you can rant online all you want, tell me how is this holding BAT accountable?
Alusiizizi: So, do you, or do you not have a Ph.D? Simple yes or no question. If you do have a Ph.D, let us know what discipline. BTW, coming from "a long line of medical professionals" does not necessarily give you more insight into anything.
Again I refuse to delve longer into such meaningless back and forth.....You're welcome to argue with your phone!
They didn't use the tweet, they used his inappropriate relationship with a junior staff, the tweets were just jara. The parent company Stripe does not play with shit like that hence they have a valid reason. He'll be compensated but they can't risk the reputational damage of him being the face of the company!
I am not a US citizen. The US president has no obligations to me. I don't have a stake in Donald Trump's success or failure in solving gun and gang violence in US cities - that is a matter for US nationals to deal with.
I am not interested in a comparison of the relative complexity of Nigeria versus the United States. Any such comparison on this thread is a distraction and a waste of time.
I don't live in the US. I don't work there. My primary concern is this country, Nigeria.
BAT is failing. The facts speak for themselves. The only reason I mentioned the US president is BAT's craven, servile response (or lack thereof) to his insults. Donald Trump described Nigeria as a 'disgraced country' and BAT's men said nothing - because they know BAT has long abandoned Nigerians to their fate.
It took insults from a US president to galvanize a flurry of activity from the Nigerian government. Is BAT serving Nigerians or he is serving Trump?
BAT is failing. Up till now, we still don't know who ordered the soldiers guarding the girls school in Maga to withdraw - only for terrorists to strike forty five minutes later. Isn't that failure?
We can agree both BAT and Trump are failures but all I hear is the problem and not a solution! Killings and kidnappings in the North have been happening right from OBJ era, to put the blame on one man in a democratic governemnt is a naive way to look at things. What is the solution? We all know these things have political, traditional and religious elements to it so to think one president can wipe it out is a LIE!
Their sponsors are in the government, they are the ones making laws and executing it. They are traditional rulers and religious leaders. They are big men with resources enough to convince entire towns and villages into killing and kidnapping their neighbors. The issue goes beyond just theories, it goes beyond just ranting online, so I ask again WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?
Here's a mind puzzle, do you think it was a mistake that amnesty was offered to these murderers during GEJ's & Buhari's regime? Think about it, if the problem is so huge that the govenrment has no choice than to offer amnesty to them, what does that tell you about the sponsors?
Alusiizizi: You still haven't answered my question. For starters, you didn't specify the discipline that you earned your Ph.D in. If you earned your Ph.D in Mathematics then you are probably just marginally better that the general population in your medical/physiology knowledge. That's one objection.
The second one. Even if you obtained a Ph.D in some sort of medical field, or a field that requires in-depth knowledge in physiology(to be honest with you, the only examples that I can think of would by pharmacology, pharmacy, biology . Medical/health education almost invariably terminates in a professional degree, we'll leave this point for the third paragraph), that still doesn't prove that you actually know anything, only that you are expected to know something about physiology, at least considerably more than what the "average Joe" on the street knows, it doesn't actually imply that you do.
The third one. You boasted that you come from a long line of professionals, but that doesn't actually mean that you are in fact a medical professional, which finally brings me to your "Ph.D". Perhaps you do have a Ph.D(which I find impossible to believe, given that you questioned my assertion that THC(the active compound in cannabis(A.K.A igbo)) can be detected in drug tests, even if the person is not a smoker), or perhaps your Ph.D exists only in your imagination, I can't tell which is the case, but what I do find suspicious is your presentation of a Ph.D in a medical field to buttress your credibility. Most people of cognitive means that go into the medical profession often go for professional degrees(M.D, PharmD e.t.c). Academic medical degrees like Pharmacology are exceedingly rare, and such people often stick out like a red herring wherever they go and trust me, from reading up your post history, you are definitely not one of those types.
Summary: You don't have a Ph.D in anything. If you do, prove it, otherwise stop polluting the online space with useless noise.
I had hoped to not go back and forth with you but your ranting here makes no sense, my initial reply to you is that my experience coming from a long line of medical professionals gives me more insight into medical related issues than someone just looking things up on Google. That was not boastful but factual, you're welcomed to feel however you feel about that!
Further, the Ph.D reference is simply about research, you do not earn a Ph.D by simply relying on Google, it takes deep analytical/reasoning mindset to accomplish such a feat! The rest of the jargon you wrote is simply comical!
There are photos just out of the man sleeping (literally sleeping!) on the job and you claim he is 'laser focused'.
Whether you admit it or not, the last two weeks have been terrible for the administration. Though nowhere near as terrible as things have been for Nigerians who have lost life and property since BAT got into office two years ago.
BAT is failing. He's been on the back foot for the past few weeks, shuffling through the humiliation of trying to explain the killings in Nigeria to the president of another country. For months, BAT couldn't be bothered to act on our longstanding complaints about the violence and killings - but now he's all over the place explaining himself to the president of the USA.
BAT doesn't care what Nigerians say but he cares about what Donald Trump says. Says it all really.
Yet Trump could not solve the gun and gang violence in his own country, if BAT is a failure then Trump is a bigger one considering America is not as complex as Nigeria interms of ethnicity and religiion.
sulaak: Whataboutism will not solve Nigeria's problem.
The USA is about to invade Nigeria due to the Fulani militant jihadists. Yoruba skull miners are not in the SE, the North, or the SS. Igbo IPOB are only in the SE. Fulani Jihadists, Bandits and Kidnappers are all over West Africa. Fulani are now a problem
The USA will never invade Nigeria, Trump will never get congressional approval to do so, I stay in the USA so I know what I'm talking about. What you just wrote does not take away from my point, Nigerians are naturally wicked, it is that wickedness that makes the country a zoo!
sulaak: He is not spot. Until the Fulani accept that they are primarily responsible for insecurity across the country, nothing will change.
Just listen to the YouTube video below, which shows what the Fulani are saying. They have no respect for boundaries or for other people's property. They are living in the 7th century, and coupled with extreme Islam, you have a cocktail of barbarism and destruction similar to the mess that we are witnessing in Sudan and Somalia.
Fulani is not responsible for the insecurity in the Southeast, they are not responsible for the skull miners in the Southwest....Una no just ready to face the truth, the average Nigerian is WICKED!
