SportsRe: Carragher: AFCON Needs More Respect – Rio Ferdinand by Ankakh: 8:27am On Feb 27, 2025
Jamie shared a popular sentiment from the Europeans without thinking it through. Rio on the other hand spoke with sense and perspective - a rapidly declining trait in this digital age.
PoliticsRe: Government Plans To Phase Out Power Generators by Ankakh: 8:25am On Feb 27, 2025
Until we see this in action, it's just talk as before.

Sometimes I wonder what this people do in their high office than just talk.
PoliticsRe: Seplat Energy Eyes 14 Trillion Cubic Feet Of Natural Gas In Acquired Assets by Ankakh: 3:35am On Feb 26, 2025
The federal government has a target of producing over 2 million barrels per day of crude oil in 2025, but its output for January was 1.5 Mbps. It is short of 500,000 bpd, but the government has vowed to meet this target this year, as the 2025 budget is benchmarked on an output of 2.06 Mbps.
Nigeria don't produce 2million barrels per day but yet our budget is benchmarked to 2.06 Mbps. Una well done o!

Ohanaeze, rest.

Maybe some of the things need to come to light but that something will change significantly in the politics of this country, not sure in this century.
PoliticsRe: NLC, TUC, NECA Tackle Akpabio Over Tax Evasion Comment by Ankakh: 3:30am On Feb 26, 2025
Where is the data? Can it be independently verified? These leaders just open mouth wah! May God have mercy.

Most Nigerians have their tax deducted from base (their salaries). Yes, some companies do not remit these taxes and that's why the tax agencies chase them.
PoliticsRe: Hardship: You Cannot Depend On One Source Of Income - Onanuga by Ankakh: 3:22am On Feb 26, 2025
“If you find a farm land near you, cultivate it, grow your crops, so that it can reduce your expenses and so on.
It's statement like this that shows whether leaders care or not.

He now wants to give example of second income stream and he's talking about farming, when everyone knows what happened and is happening to farmers and their farmlands.

Not only that, "If you find a farm land near you, cultivate it." Just like that. No due process. Just grab the land and start to use.

Do these ones just talk without thinking? It's difficult to understand the thought process.

Fact is, citizens should not be the ones suffering for government mismanagement. If citizens are to manage and adjust, let's see from the leaders. Let's see how they are cutting costs.

PoliticsRe: 1966 Coup: Ohanaeze Seeks Apology, ₦10tr Compensation From Tinubu by Ankakh: 10:23pm On Feb 23, 2025
Ohanaeze, 10 trillion naira as how? That's more than 20% of the Nigerian 2025 fiscal budget.

This case might win in the court of public opinion but it won't stand in a court of law. Ohanaeze should choose their medium carefully.

EducationRe: India, China, Nigeria, Ghana Top Missing Student Cases In Canada by Ankakh: 10:15pm On Feb 23, 2025
“Many people from my region have done the same, so I followed suit. I know it’s illegal, but this was my only way in,” a 27-year-old from Gujarat said in a report by The Times of India.
When people complain online of their lives in a foreign country, it would be good to know their history. Imagine what the story of this individual would be.
Foreign AffairsRe: Zelensky: I'm Ready To Resign For Peace To Reign (Photos) by Ankakh: 10:12pm On Feb 23, 2025
baralatie:
You are stating the middle of the story
2014 the us forced out the president of Ukraine that was elected democraactily in a coup.
This led to a pro us Ukraine govt (whose aim is to join NATO) and as a result Russia took crimea.
Zelensky who happens to have been elected democraactily said he would end the 7 year war happening in Ukraine(funded by the us and eu) so that Ukraine would be able to enter NATO and reportedly said in German news outlets that if it is war that Russia wants Ukraine was ready
What do you think was going to happen .was it not an official annexation of the don bass region
Anybody can posture. World leaders do it all the time. Zelensky was posturing with that comment.

Per your theory, all Russia had to do was to try and influence the 2019 election in their favour as well. Maybe they tried and it was not enough.
Foreign AffairsRe: Zelensky: I'm Ready To Resign For Peace To Reign (Photos) by Ankakh: 10:09pm On Feb 23, 2025
Loved the caveat of Zelensky swapping his presidency for NATO membership. Point is, that NATO membership he has been seeking has always been far-reaching. Even the Biden administration with the EU could not promise him that. He should not expect the Trump administration to do that for him whether he resigns or not.
PoliticsRe: Photos & Videos Of The Launching Of President Ibrahim Babangida's Book & Library by Ankakh: 8:39am On Feb 21, 2025
It's interesting that Professor Osinbajo was the reviewer of the book.

At least, past leaders are seeing eye to eye despite their harsh differences and convoluted past. Maybe the "followers" can do the same so that we can live in peace with one another.
EducationRe: One Dead, Other Students Injured As Classroom Block Collapses In Yobe by Ankakh: 8:34am On Feb 21, 2025
This is unfortunate. May the soul of the departed RIP and wishing quick recovery for others.

Hopefully, the government will take care of these affected students and properly rebuild the structure, so that their education can continue. And use that opportunity to check other public structures to prevent recurrence of these tragedy.

BusinessRe: A List Of The World's 22 Black Billionaires Going Viral On Social Media (Pic) by Ankakh: 8:30am On Feb 21, 2025
Gentle reminder for the public: that someone is worth $1bn does not mean they have $1 billion in cash. It means their assets (usually stock/share holdings in 1/more companies) are worth $1 billion. This value of course, goes up and down, depending on the market.

So when next you see a billionaire, he might be going through some serious issues. Have mercy and don't pester with your concerns.
BusinessRe: A List Of The World's 22 Black Billionaires Going Viral On Social Media (Pic) by Ankakh: 8:26am On Feb 21, 2025
6 Nigerians on this list. Very nice.

But Nigeria itself... May God have mercy on this nation.
PoliticsRe: Microsoft Invests $1 Million To Enhance AI Development In Nigeria by Ankakh: 8:12am On Feb 21, 2025
The initiative aims to train one million Nigerians in AI and emerging technologies, aligning with the country's draft National AI Strategy, which seeks to equip 70% of its young workforce with AI-related skills. This move is expected to support job creation, as AI is projected to contribute $15 billion to Nigeria’s GDP by 2030, with the global AI market expected to generate over 70 million new jobs.
I always laugh when I see these projections for Nigeria. It's good but the path does not seem to look like it. Hopefully, Nigeria will get there, and the land will rejoice.

Foreign AffairsRe: Zelensky Is A Dictator Who Talked The U.S Into A War He Couldn't Win - Trump by Ankakh: 11:53pm On Feb 19, 2025
Trump has fed into Putin's narrative that Ukraine is the one to blame for the war. Going by that premise, he's going to do everything to sideline Zelensky and cause more issues for the Ukrainians. By admitting that alone puts Putin on the right foot.

Ukraine didn't need to arm-twist the US into supporting him. Let's not get it twisted - Russia invaded Ukraine. Zelensky was simply standing up for his country and went about asking for support. The US, UK and EU gave him their support. They are helping Ukraine to deter a bully. Why? Maybe they were thinking about Hitler.

Peace is good but the path to peace is very important to avoid future reccurence. Who says tomorrow that Putin won't start another war? (For now, he's likely going to get everything he wants and may make Trump look good or not.)

And for Trumpers, Ukraine not doing an election is per their constitution that no election shall hold during war. That has been in existence since 1992 or so. But will Trump acknowledge that?

Now Ukraine is the aggressor? What will Musa not see in this Trump second series?
PoliticsRe: Three Kaduna House of Assembly members dump PDP, defect to APC (Photos) by Ankakh: 12:43pm On Feb 15, 2025
The three lawmakers disclosed to PUNCH Online in separate telephone interviews that their defection was to align with the party at the state level because of the sterling leadership and performance exhibited by Governor Uba Sani... The lawmakers stated that the political future of their constituents was sacrosanct and they believed that they would serve their people better in the ruling party.
Exactly how would these ones serve their people better in the ruling party?

There must be serious consequences for crossing parties AFTER winning an election. If not, this country would gradually slide into a one-party state. PDP needs to do better and stand strong in the place of opposition.
PoliticsRe: South-West Governors To Set Up Joint Surveillance Security Team by Ankakh: 7:34am On Feb 14, 2025
SW governors looking as if they are seriously working. It's good they come together for the security and prosperity of the region.

Today, we had a meeting of the South West Governors’ Forum and passed a vote of confidence on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the economic stability and improvements recorded across the nation, particularly in the sustained supply and distribution of petroleum products and the stabilisation of the exchange rate.
But Oga Sanwo, you could have gone ahead to talk about the other initiatives like NELFUND, DAWN, SWDC etc than remotely even mention economic stability.

But hey, it's all politics.

Man doing business. It's a pipe dream to think that he was gonna be Nigeria's saviour for refined petroleum.
