Where was this court when USA illegally invaded Iraq saying they have chemical weapons? hundreds of thousands of deaths later, billions worth of properties destroyed later and no single WMD was found and a once awesome Iraqi economy was brought to it's knees. Where was this court when USA destroyed Afghanistan saying they want to rescue them from the Talibans? years later they ran away from Afghanistan having spent billions to oust the Talibans only to hand over back to the Talibans when leaving

The same UN that could not order Trump to rescind his decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel (Note that only USA has recognized Jerusalem as capital if Israel, UN asked USA to rescind that but who be UN in the first place if not the west).

The same UN did not issue this when NATO could tries were bombarding Libya, which is now a hotbed for terrorism

UN were sleeping when Israel were busy chasing out Palestinians from their land.

As if Putin really cares!!!!

If you ever think Putin is backing down without making Ukraine become neutral, dey deceive yourself.

Ojukwu007:
Well said but why do you guys detest America so much? And quick to justify acts of terrorism, put sentiments aside and give me an honest answer.

No one is defending a terrorism act, only terrorist defends terrorist like boko haram, isis, al Qaeda. Taliban's are not terrorists. US labelled them because they see them as having ideologies and acts that contradicts what they want to push forward. It is always so for every government to label someone or group of people terrorist when they see them as antagonizing or challenge to their obvious or hidden agenda. The same way Nelson Mandela was labeled terrorist, same way Nnamdi Kanu was labeled terrorist by Nigerian government because they see him as an obstacle to one Nigeria they (government) are trying to preserve at all cost.

So if you justify Taliban act as an act of terrorism simply because they don't want western values in their country, would you also say defending their country against Russian invasion in the 1970s also terrorism? The is why I said dont rush to accept labelling of a group, hear them out and their agenda before u accept, the same way many Nigerians do not accept ipob or Nnamdi Kanu as terrorist.

So what acts of terrorism did we defend that made you ask the question?

Eecho:
Dull brain , NATO defeated them , got Osama , got Sadam and many others ... 20 years was enough for the indigenes to be able to defend themselves with all the trainings they got from NATO but they chose to remain lazy like you .

I can bet my balls your only source of news that informs your orientatioj js western media. US Ra out of Afghanistan when they realized that Taliban's have the support for the people. It is difficult to indoctrinate them with western ideologies which is the main USA agenda in Afghanistan. The main reason, their military didn't make any attempt in fighting back. So why would america wanted to impose system of governance, values ajd ethics which is totally against their wish on them in he fits place? These are questions you need to answer first before defending them.

I guess you would call Taliban a terrorist simply because America labelled them so, the same Taliban armed and funded by america to defend Afghanistan when Russia invaded them right?? Why and how did they became a terrorist overnight to the US, it's simple, US wanted to have a strong presence in the middle east, so Afghanistan was their target, the plan was to establish democracy and install their puppets, which is what they did, but when they realized it doesn't have the people backing, the fled.

You never knew you will get a one sided and bias opinion if you listen to western media only, they make you see what they want you to see. Try to listen to other parties, you will see the bigger picture.

Anything that would destroy Chelsea is highly welcomed and in case you’ve forgottened I am a Manchester United fan

Like I said, you need sense.

SMARTMOTORS:
I hope my fellow Igbomen and women are seeing the consequences of putting all your investment in another man's land!!.... keep developing and investing in foreign lands leaving Igboland with nothing!. THE DAYS ARE COMING!!

Igbos have the most investment scattered in Nigeria mostly. Go to the commercial area of every busy towns and cities, Igbos have taken over, not too bad though as they are industrious people but should take lesson from the ongoing world politics

Enemyofpeace:

Peace, vawulence and football banters doesn't !ake one to lose his brains, I'm seriously perturbed how u lost yours. No football fans can be happy with this kind of situation, ever. This is a loss to football, not just Chelsea. If you rejoice cos it happens to ur rival clubs today, what if it happens to your club tomorrow. Look left, can you see that shop? If yes, they sell sense there!!

comodo:

All you wrote up there na bla blah. Anambra state is a case study. Since the time of Peter Obi, this has been the case. And tell u what?! The Missionary schools has been shining and doing great things. Public schools are not even cheaper per se

It is not bla bla, it is the reality to those who are able to comprehend. Those who comprehended well have given their genuine opinion in the mentions. Have a nice day

tunjilana:


Then govt should live up to its responsibility of building more schools and raising the standard so good that people will have no reason to pay so much for top notch education in private schools....everything is still on govt

If you expect them to do this, where will the money to embezzle come from? Are you saying Nigerian politician who fought do or die to be elected not to gather for his pocket first?

NoFucksToGive:


But that's the thing, no secondary school world wide needs a population of thousands does that even make sense to you ?

Chase quality not quantity. The day you learn the meaning of this phrase you will understand alot sir

Nice point though. I understood it perfectly. I have always argue in this line when it comes to higher institutions, but it doesn't go well with many people.

teamoneline:


It's better to train just one person with quality education than 1000 with government rubbish low quality funded education.

I support this point, the same reason I support all these free federal government universities either privatized or remove the free education. We aren't receiving just low quality education in many government universities, we are receiving outdated education. Chemistry students who goes into lab just once or twice before graduating, imagine. I so much support your point but it is not a popular nd welcoming opinion to the masses.

system21:

Anambra state have returned all the missionaries schools to original owners and are still funding the schools

I am not saying they won't be able to fund the school, after all church are rich, all thanks to tithing. My point is , average citizen suffers such handover. Are u aware that many if these public schools, most of the students parents are struggling to pay the little money the school request from them? That's how poor we are in this country.

ivolt:

Good.

Those illiterate military boys were disasters.
Rather than build their own schools, they were busy stealing existing
ones which they can't even manage.

Those schools were better managed during the military era than the corrupt democratic era.

Lol, this is not a win win for any religion but a lose to many average citizens. Once the school is fully returned to the owners, government stopped funding thee schools with taxpayers money and the school take full responsibilities of the day to day activities of the school. To balance up and meet standard, school fee will be legislated and skyrocketed above the means of many students' parent. The affected parents (mostly Christians cos of their population) will be looking for another government school (which is probably missionary built) to enrol her child.

A question to a reasonable Nigerian not religious sentimental people, who lost??

The same happened in Ogun state and saw schools with population of thousands reduced to below 500.

posty56:
you are Muslim that's all I need to know ,bye

Lol, cowards. No point to defend your ambiguous claim. There are Muslims supporting Ukraine while there are Muslims supporting Russia. You don't have a point. Getat

posty56:
pro-russians on nairaland go call am propaganda , but if na the other way around them go say Russia they deal Ukraine blow ,dumb people, I have seen multiple sources of Russia soldiers abandoning tanks everywhere way Ukraine citizens they use catch cruise, Putin send soldiers into war, en no give them food ,en no give them fuel ,how you want conquer them, abi you think say na robot your army be.

Yeah, that is because just a week into this military operations in Ukraine, we have seen series of propaganda in the western Media, so if an average person tries not to believe anything coming from them, it is justifiable. Why shutting down Russian news platform on Facebook and YouTube, so we can have access to their media only, they want us to hear their own narrations and not from the other side, I that what you call fair?? I choose not to believe whatever they post until they are fair and stop being hypocrite.

SarkinYarki:
Cancel culture has been imported into international politics by " woke liberals" zombies ...this weaponizing of American commercial products will do America no good in the long term , after this crisis is over watch how countries start to come up with plans to dump American tech ecosystems for home grown ones like the Chinese

That is the effect of sanctions, push you to more independent. I remember few years ago, when USA asked China to sell tiktok over alleged breach of security in their server or whatever, one of the sanctions meted out to Huawei was that America should not sell microchip "one of the phone's vital component" to huawei, and ever since then, they have invested heavily in discovering the model so they can produce their own without relying no more from the imported one from America-based company in Taiwan

Fuckingmallam45:
Remember Russia has an economy about the size of the state of Texas. Maybe a little smaller. Their economy could be tipped over by America imposing sanctions. Even a blow hard like Putin knows this. That fact plus the ability for the Ukraine to give Russia a hell of a black eye even though they may not win the war doesn't means they will not try. Putin’s threat to turn America into ashes is like the little drunk guy in a bar who has had four Karate lessons threatening to kick the big guys ass. It's all bluff or he has had too much to drink or both. In spite of boastful claims Russia's military is about two decades behind America's. If he tried to start a conflict his military would turn on him.

Una sha like to dey hype this America o, america wey no for defeat Taliban, lol

moralistic:
Some Nigerians are supporting Putin simply because Ukraine has the backing of America...


And 98% of those Anti America are haters of America just because of the way America has dealt with terrorist and terrorist nations in the past and still doing.

Thank you America for making the world a better place... else, I wonder what life would have looked like if iraq, iran, Osama bin laden etc were not resisted and humbled by America ...

America, Southern Nigeria loves you


And as for Putin, your end is near... your people are not in support of your actions, even your cabinet are not in support....

Weather you invade or not, your end is near


Those of you talking about American invasion of other countries....let me make it clear...IF ANY NATION IS A THREAT TO WORLD PEACE, AMERICA WILL INVADE THAT NATION....what is wrong in that ? Most of you are pained because america don't sympatize with terrorists

Why did Libya now become terrorist den after NATO invasion?

Why is Iraq in ruins after no weapon of mass destruction was found?

What was america doing after elimination of bin laden in another country for over 20years?

Well, it is not difficult to recognize america ass lickers.

Even when they commit glaring blunders, they will hide under flushing terrorism to defend them.

No one is blaming them for the drone strike that killed civilians in Afghanistan!!

Life is full of double standards, hypocrisy, no surprises!!!

PENISgod:
bro, it's Ukraine we a talking about here, a sovereign nation, not some 4ucking taliban, boko-haram or Isis, Ukraine for God sake...

Obviously you don't know history.

I'm talking of Cuba here, are you dumb? Isn't Cuba a sovereign nation anymore

PENISgod:
Russia is mad and Ukrainian military are fools...
This is exactly what Russia wants, to negotiate terms that would favour them and not the Ukrainians..
All this nonsense is happening because the Ukrainians are afraid to fight back and Russia has capitalised on that fear.. Trust me if Ukraine say "4uck it, since it's war you want, it's war you'll get" and takes the war too to the Russians, rain fire too on Russian cities and infrastructure and make them feel the heat of the war, I'm very sure the Russians would back down because they too deep down don't want war. It's the fear the Ukrainians are displaying that is giving them confidence..

These guys literally share the same boarder with Russia and are busy playing defensive waiting for the U.S and CO before they can make any decisions for themselves.. I don't think these guys really value and deserve their freedom.. Don't they have jets to send to Russian territory too to rain bombs on Russian cities and infrastructure too? Don't they have troops, tanks, armoured vehicles and missiles to send across to Russia too? Can't they take the war to Russia too to make them feel the heat of the war too? Ukrainians are just busy

suffering, bearing the full casualties and cost of the war while Russians are in the comfort of their homes relaxing with reckless abandon, not even acting like their country is at war... At least the Ukrainians too should take the war to them too and make these guy feel some of the heat too...all these their defensive attitude will only make the Russians more relaxed and confident...

Omo, me I don't like fight ohh, but if I see say I don beg you, beg you tire you no wan hear, even though you are stronger than me, thunder go fire you because one of us must be hospitalised... Nonsense

Lol, partly correct partly wrong.
You mean Ukraine could have taken the war to Russia? Are you joking or something? Seriously are u for real? You don't want Ukraine to exist anymore?

Stevenson20:
Putin its too early for you to bring up negotiation. What will happen to you, will shock you. Dictators always end up in a very brutal way.

What would happen? Pls tell us. Aside sanctions, nothing else!!!

They all saw the movement of Russian troops late last year which means they had a lot of time to react if they wanted to, they all kept quiet. Till today after the invasion, nothing is coming forth. What would they do?

Nbotee:
He was acting like he didn't want negotiations anymore but we all know both he and the west cannot afford war

All of U blaming NATO and USA are jus funny. USA didn't ask Ukraine to join NATO. Ukraine CHOOSE to join NATO becos it needed some form of security backup against Russian Aggression. If Na U ur Neighbor dey always bully U no go find ppl wey fit fight for U next to U as neighbors? Russia knows Ukraine joining NATO is an invitation to it's number one Enemy. Putin is solely to be blamed

One thing you guys failed to realize is that, no country among the powerful countries would allow an enemy's base near it's border. Meaning that USA, UK, China, would have done similar thing if in the shoe of Russia. If not, why threatening to invade Cuba if they allow Russian base to be cited there?

It is a battle for supremacy we all know, they all would have done similar thing and that's why they can't respond militarily. At least they all saw the movement of trrops late last year, so they had lot of time to take action but didn't.

I have never ever liked Crypto.
A lot of bad deals can be done through it ranging from ;

Fraud
Drug deals
Kidnapping ransom
Politicians stealing
Hacking

To all those that believed Crypto can’t be traced,hope una eyes don clear?

Just imagine you buy bitcoin from some and not knowing the coin we’re gotten from illicit deals.
They trace it and seize your innocent funds.

There is this statement coming in the mouth of Crytpo invest that I dislike so much.
“Don’t invest the amount you can’t afford to lose”
Who invest in biz and look forward to lose?

An investment with not regulatory body to monitor it.
Elon could just wake up tomorrow morning and tweet gibberish.Bitcoin will just fall or rise.

Oya,make una go buy the dipppppppppppp!

If they are telling their investors to invest an amount they can afford to lose, then it is no different from gambling.

All the comments you shared are from Nigerians, how does that become the talk of the continent?

Hello dear Nairalanders,

I would love to know if anyone have a genuine information on NATFORCE.

NATFORCE is a short form for National Task Force. They are self-burdened with the responsibility of cracking down on the Prohibition of Illegal Importation/Smuggling of Arms, Ammunition, Light Weapons, Chemical Weapons and Pipeline Vandalism. Although Federal government have declared them illegal ànd ban their activities across the country.

This organization still recruits young people sugarcoating them with soon to approval by the FG.

The Guardian gathered that the illegal security outfit, known as NATFORCE, incurred the wrath of the security agencies for disregarding the order of the Federal Government on its ban.

NATFORCE is alleged to have become emboldened in its illegal activities by luring some influential Nigerians, particularly some retired military personnel, ex-senior police officers and some members of the National Assembly with employment promises for their preferred candidates and people in their constituencies.

The group is also said to have issued 18,000 fake appointment letters for employment into the illegal security outfit after allegedly collecting various sums of money, ranging from N6000 to N35, 000 from the beneficiaries. One Dr Baba Mohammed, identified as its Director General, signed a copy of NATFORCE’s purported appointment letter, sighted by our correspondent.

In June 2021, FG had declared NATFORCE as an illegal security outfit and directed it and other similar groups to immediately end their operations nationwide.

The National Centre for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons (NCCSALW), domiciled in the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) is the only national coordination mechanism for the control and monitoring of the proliferation of small arms and light weapons in legally constituted the Federal Government.

The eight-member body has Major General A. M. Dikko (rtd) as its Coordinator and eight other Directors drawn from the major security agencies in the country. A Bill sponsored by the ONSA for its transformation from a Centre to a full-fledged Commission is already being considered for passage by the National Assembly.

NATFORCE’s illegal activities, according to findings, have been undermining NCCSALW’s operations and left the Centre with the challenge of extricating itself from dubious conducts of a security outfit already banned by Federal Government through the Office of the National Security Adviser.

Following the development, the Presidency has put machinery in place to implement the recommendations contained in the ONSA report on NATFORCE’s illegal activities.

The ONSA report accused NATFORCE, which it describes as “an unincorporated organisation” of “pushing to crystallise into a Para-military Government Law Enforcement Agency,” adding that it also engages “in various forms of illegal activities including mounting road blocks, conducting illegal searches and seizures, and extortion of innocent members of the public. They also deceive members of the public through purported recruitment.”

The report highlighted several court judgments declaring NATFORCE an illegal body and nullifying its continued existence, adding, “The judgment of the Court of Appeal put an end to the numerous suits filed by NATFORCE against the State Security Service (SSS).

“Unfortunately, NATFORCE continued to exist illegally and has not abated in deceiving members of the public that their activities are recognised by law and usually citing the judgment of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

“This is even more uncharitable considering the fact that the Court of Appeal exhaustively reflected the true position of the Federal High Court Judgement.”


Recently, there are speculations that they have been given a mid to go ahead and would soon be approved.

If anyone have a genuine and reliable information on the issue, pls your comment is welcomed and appreciated.

Jungle justice belongs to the jungle, it is for animals not humans.

For the sake of argument, let us agree that the truck driver was reckless in his driving that lee to the accident, how does burning the truck justify revenge? The truck may be someone else's business and the driver might be an employee after all!! Why destroy someone else business in the name of revenging.

How Nigerians behave amazes me.

I have never for once being a supporter of jungle justice despite the failed judicial and prosecuting system.

If the mob have brain, they should have arrested him and make him pay the okada man's family for the loss and then prosecute him, no!! Though this cannot bring back the dead man, but at least, it will support his wife or any family the okada man is taking care of.

Ekejoestar:
The fact that a supposedly christian nation is fighting another nation because of a religion that hates it says a lot about how Christians value human right, even here on NL the religion wouldn't give every one free access to comment on their thread unless he has to swear at first before he would be allowed to comment.

I like China but I don't like the way they suppress religion but I can't really blame them knowing that Islam have a tendency for violence and blood shed.

US should cut them some slack as long as Muslims aren't being killed or subjected to hard labours in camps but they are only being de-radicalised .

Christians too are seriously marginalized in China, so USA is not supporting those too cos they don't mention them abi? You know no politics. USA is doing that as eye service to Saudi, one of its puppet, so as to de-radicalize the Islam and government in Saudi. If u know what Saudi government is doing recently, every Muslims know they are under the influence of western master. Lol, u know no wetin they happen underground fa. You just see the apparent and you think that is where it starts and end. Tooor!

Breakdown

The couple ---- 2
Five sons -------5
Each son has three sisters, meaning that there are three daughters which serves as three sisters to each brother -------3
Each sister has a baby, meaning there is a baby among the family owned by the three sisters -------- 1

2 + 5 + 3 + 1 = 11

I woukd rather work for someone else, earn the #82million for two years and thereafter, quit to establish myself, nothing beats freedom.

In the same vein, we should realize that owning business is not for everyone, some people will never be good in business even if you sponsor them to the best university to study business. They rather prefer the monthly wages to plan their lives.

What works for Mr A may not work for Mr B.

We have seen salary earners doing well than business owners and vice versa.
May Allah bless our job.

Lordswazz:


A country that runs on such a level of corruption as though it’s oxygen or petrol can go nowhere but down, and this isn’t me being pessimistic; I’m just saying it the way it is. No person, organisation, or country can cheat their way into greatness.

How can you have so many unproductive and underproductive people “sorting” their way into unmerited positions across all levels of government and drawing monthly salaries from government coffers and still expect greatness as a nation? That’s like the robbery of the national treasury by most government workers.

The saddest part of it is that,only politicians take the blame!!

How is Obama responsible for the mess in Africa?
Simple question but you choose to bring your cluelessness into my mention..
Pls if you know you are here to waste your time by being unintelligent kindly back off..but if you gat an answer to my question come in and be more responsible with your use of words..
You don't show how silly you are to everyone cos occasionally you gotta hide em..

They made Libya a failed nation and a breeding ground for terrorists. The terrorism in Libya flowed into chad and Nigeria. The security nemesis we found ourselves have jeopardized our economy coupled with corrupt politician we were battling before. The harsh economic position we had to take had affected neighbouring countries like Benin republic. If this didn't put Africa in mess to u, u are simply stupid. Economy doesn't grow where there are security challenges. Fool!! Get that into ur ignorant skull
