Politics › Re: Tinubu's Adviser Masari Rebukes APC Candidates For Avoiding President's Photo by Ankakh: 8:51pm On Oct 29
For party candidates to publicly reject the national flagbearer of their party in this manner... oh well...

Are movies not fiction? When did they become the arbiter of truth on love? cheesy
Business › Re: 8 African Countries Building Economies The World Should Watch (Photos) by Ankakh: 8:45pm On Oct 29
All these gains are good on a macro level. What matters is the amount of money in people's pockets.
Politics › Re: Tinubu Orders Clearance Of Power Equipment Stranded At Ports For 20 Years by Ankakh: 8:39pm On Oct 29
This is a serious lack of accountability. What's the point of importing something for almost 2 decades and it's left at the ports with no action until now. Not an individual, not a private organisation. A whole federal government. This is ridiculous and unacceptable!

Prepaid meters should not be a problem in 2026 across the nation. These are essential government intervention to help the masses navigate this economic environment.

Actually, this world will be here long after your bloodline is completely gone. So, don't worry about the world! Focus instead on catching up with reality and facts. 😒😒
Most people have an unhealthy obsession with alternative reality. If there's no basis in shared reality and facts, what's even the baseline of the debate?

Well, no matter the many reasons you want to give yourself, the long and short of it all is that we are here because all discussions for the last 49 years have failed to yield desired results. 🥱🥱
The world won't be here if a certain man had not decided that he's smarter than people who are experts on this issue and warned him against such actions. This is totally avoidable.
Travel › Re: Things I've Learned From Traveling Abroad For Work by Ankakh: 11:46pm On Oct 28
How do you avoid losing money on currency conversion?
I don't think it's really worth the headache. I can understand if it's necessary to save the differentials on leisure trips, but for business, time is the greatest asset there. Know the rates a day ahead, research online/from your network, negotiate and move.

The difference won't really make/mar you.

And that advice about not changing all your currency at once? Solid.

What's the best way to stay connected abroad?
Roaming is the way. I'm not a fan of getting local SIMs because of the requirements, so I've just recently started navigating with one eSIM..

Nothing special. BAT lost in Lagos in 2023.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Netanyahu Claims Israeli Election Was Stolen By Arab Parties by Ankakh: 11:33pm On Oct 28
This is the world we live in, where once results don't go your way, you start saying there is fraud and corruption. Why not let the process play out first? Is that not why there are independent bodies? Why are you trying to sow discord (especially without proof) in the institutions that hold the country?

Even though this thing has happening for decades across different democracies, one orange dude in the US made it a thing for others to publicly follow.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran & Qatar Leaders Meet Putin In Moscow To Discuss War (Photos) by Ankakh: 5:29pm On Oct 28

Obviously, the discussions didn't go well; that is why we are where we are today. We all basically watched the back and forth between the US and Iran for the most part of the last 6-8 months of the war... thanks to Iran making open its exchanges with the US all over the internet... why the discussions didn't go well and probably won't.😒😒
The obvious reason the discussions didn't go well in February before the bombings was because the US was not negotiating in good faith. Trump ripped up the first deal in 2018 (that had very strange bedfellows involved - Russia, EU, China). It's a negotiation, which means compromises must happen.

But the Israel was basically eager to go to war with Iran (and Bibi has been on this since the '90s) and they found their useful Washington puppet at this time. Again, US intelligence advised against this war.

About Iran making open its ceasefire discussions AFTER the war started in February, it's because someone continues to lie excessively about every aspect of the deal on his little TS app.

Iran never consulted other Islamic countries before going ahead to have issues with the US.. . That's what I'm talking about...

Having the backing of other Islamic countries would've given Iran more diplomatic edge in the meeting in February
I'm trying to understand but why would Iran need to consult other Islamic countries or have their backing before going ahead with the discussions? The US bombed Iran's nuclear facilities in June 2025, with very limited response from Iran. And despite ongoing negotiations between both countries in February 2026 with Qatar mediating, the US and Israel started bombing Iran despite warnings from US intelligence of grave consequences (which we're all seeing now).

Now, let's not forget there was a deal in place in 2015 that explicitly prevented Iran from having a nuclear weapon, which the US, EU, Russia and China signed on to (that's not an easy feat by the way and no shots were fired). Trump ripped up that deal and didn't engineer a new one, giving Iran the opportunity to hedge their bets. Iran is not to blame for the inconsistencies of US policies.

Moreover, Iran is not as friendly as such in that neighbourhood, especially with Saudi Arabia. They have beef. But at least with Qatar, Oman and UAE, they are cool. And all those countries were involved with the talks.

Iran was literally in discussions in Geneva with the US in February before the US and Israel double-bombed them.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Zelensky: Trump Should Talk About Putin The Way He Talks About Me by Ankakh: 8:03pm On Oct 27
smallsmall:
If it will take me a lot of time to correct each item you responded to, point-b-point and today it very busy.
For example, you CONFUSED Stephan Bandera (1959), a Person, Nazi collaborator, with "Banderites", a group of People in Western Ukraine, the modern day Descendants of Stephan Bandera, who still propagate his Nazi Aspirations and White Supremacist Values in present day Ukraine. I referred to "Banderites" in Ukraine TODAY, .... not that Bandera is still live.

The fact that you cant even agree that Boris Johnson went to Ukraine and met Zelensky, told him not to sign the Istanbul Agreement (which has already been agreed at the highest Ministerial level Representation in Istanbul, with the consent of both Presidents of Russia and Ukraine in absentia but still need to be ratified with their Signatures), shows that you are either not aware or intentionally deceptive on this matter.
I say this because it is available on the internet, though Boris Johnson is now denying it because the "keep on fighting project" of Europe has backfired!
As i speak, Finland and Norway, which are part of the NATO Alliance that said they would never talk with Russia until it vacates the conquered Ukrainian territories, have just initiated a Phone Conversation with Putin! Body don they torch all of them.
Europe is experiencing the highest Price of Gas in it's History, at Nine Euros a Gallon (2.25Euros litre)!

You think all the citizen riots in Spain, Italy, France, Sweden, Parts of UK, etc, and still spreading is about Immigrants and Islam as European Leaders are claiming? It is about their Leaders using their Money to fund the Ukraine War while the Citizens are left without Basic Social Amenities (Housing, Electricity, Gas, Education, etc) and Spiraling Inflation!
Moreover, they are all DEMANDING that their Government negotiate a truce with Russia and resume the purchase of Energy from Russia, which is why the Afd Party is sweeping the Polls in Germany, despite its hard stance on immigration.

I will revisit your Post again, because there are so many misconceptions there, example; You did not know what happened in 2014, when the "Banderites" set fire to the Local parliament of the Ethnic Russians and burned it down, including those inside!
That was the first modern day Genocide in Europe, by Arson. It is still on Youtube, if you care to research on it.
I'm very familiar with this type of debate and how it uses fringe unconfirmed reports to generate sensational talking points. I won't get bogged down with that distraction. You can like Putin. You can support his decisions. That's fine. That's your prerogative.

But my focus is crystal clear: a powerful neighbour does not acquire ownership of a smaller neighbour because it dislikes its politics or claims historical entitlement. If not, what kind of world would we be living in? If sovereignty counts only when it favours Moscow, that isn't a principle of international law. It's imperialism wearing a history textbook as a disguise. And the world is smarter than that. If not, why did the world stand against Hitler? And all Ukraine is asking that the world maintains that same energy. And Western powers are trying to keep that same pace because we all know what will happen if that does not hold..

If you've ever wondered the exact meaning of petty, look no further than the current POTUS.

And Norway continues to revel in their "superior" economic and political condition.
Politics › Re: APC Asks Atiku, Mark To Pay ADC Staff Salaries by Ankakh: 3:31pm On Oct 27
Finally, APC threw their shot against ADC. And it looks like it landed well. Seems Atiku and ADC forgot that those who live in glass house do not throw stones.

INEC IT in shambles. Instead of doing the tough job of checking and cross-checking, they settled with the fast route of AI. Now it seems they have been caught with their pants down.
Politics › Re: We Can't Continue To Be A People Who See Only Bad In Their Country - Showunmi by Ankakh: 3:23pm On Oct 27
Yes, we can't continue to see evil in our country (and that's why I don't agree with those who always say Nigeria is cursed or stuff like that; you don't tell yourself that you're doomed because you have a series of failures).

But let's not get it twisted. When people criticize the government or people in power, it does not mean they don't see good in their country. They simply want things to be better. A wise government will adjust and show workings.

Health › Re: Ebola May Force Postponement Of 2027 Elections - NCDC by Ankakh: 8:00am On Oct 27
The Director General of NCDC, Jide Idris, said if Ebola spreads wide enough, the Nigerian government might need to postpone the 2027 general election.
First and foremost, God forbid any nonsense Ebola spreads.

Next, this is very irresponsible from the DG. Your job is to monitor and coordinate response to these health cases and update the country accordingly, not give commentary on the election, no matter how closely related. If anyone should be talking about postponing election, it should only be from relevant INEC officials.
Sports › Re: American 3-Year-Old Football Whizkid Was Reported To Police For Being "Too Good" by Ankakh: 7:48am On Oct 27
This is "criminal"! How can you play this good at 3? grin

At least, the police handled it professionally (especially considering he's a colored kid).

The organizers are petty short-sighted people. Instead of them to bump the boy up to a higher level or find ways to nurture his talent (that might eventually pay off for them), they are calling police on a 3-year-old. Pathetic!

Foreign Affairs › Re: Ghana Says Its Citizens Are Being Tricked Into Fighting And Dying For Russia by Ankakh: 7:40am On Oct 27
While Russia vowed to stop recruiting Ghanaians, the practice has continued
Why is anyone surprised? As long as you have some power (militarily and economically), you can very much do what you want.

“If Western governments announce projects and fail to deliver, Ghana should scrutinize them. If China signs infrastructure agreements that stall, Ghana should ask why,” Acheampong wrote. “Russia should receive precisely the same treatment. … That is not hostility toward Russia. It is normal statecraft.”
As novel as that sounds, are African leaders skilled and resourceful enough to navigate these discussions?

If Ghana (and Africa at large) wants to show that they are serious, they should:
- work on the economy so their young citizens are not lured,
- mount a national campaign through every channel to counter Russian tactics.

No job is guaranteed. The days of job stability are gradually coming to an end. The key thing is what value can you offer and how you can massively sell your skill set.
