EmekaMD:1. Sacked Daura the DSS Director General for impunity, something Buhari would not have been able to do. 2. Introduced the use of Presidential Executive Order which has been useful in establishing several Government Policies. |
Frigga13:On the contrary, I believe the eyes of Tinubu have been on the N 123 billion annually generated from motor parks in Lagos ever since the publication of the report. MC Oluomo is his boy and apparently playing the script of his boss. |
Appleyard:Belarus is bordered by Ukraine, Poland, Latvia and Lithuania. Any trans-border travel from Russia through Belarus cannot proceed to the rest of Europe except through the aforementioned countries. |
BKayy:Isn't it ironic that it is you that should be asked who was your geography teacher? Russia is largely bordered by several seas and apart from Ukraine, those countries (Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) are the major gateway to Europe by land for Russia and Belarus. The circuitous and alternative routes through Finland or Georgia by land to get to Europe is clearly going to be torture. I have attached a map for you to see clearly into the issue and know the true impact of the closure of the borders of those countries on Russia's connectiion to Europe by land.

HonNL:There is no Power Holding Company of Nigeria again, since 2013 when the FG divested interest and broke it into several units like IKEDC, IBEDC, etc. I believe Egbin power station should be under the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN). For FAAN to be referring to PHCN which doesn't exist anymore in their publication is surprising and shows sloppiness. |
Blackblackbeaut:Assuming the statement is not misinformation, was Amaechi able to answer the question? Brand is very important in some cases, particularly for surveillance equipment from an inexperienced company. Brand could be used for price check, for project capacity assessment, etc. Not being able to answer that simple question is a big red flag. You may say some questions are stupid simple, but if you cannot answer them then it speaks volumes about you! |
AbujaCitiBlog:A Pilot scheme without any guarantees to work as expected, costing N 3.7 billion and awarded to a 2-year old company without any relevant experience? Does it make any administrative sense to approve such a project? Who told you lives would have been saved when the project already came without guarantees to work as expected? A project without clarity and explanations as to workability? Didn't you read what the leaked memo said or you are just a paid blind supporter of Amaechi? Amaechi had opportunities to go and sort out the issues raised and re-present but he chose to be quiet because he knew he just wanted to play on the intelligence of the FEC. And playing on the intelligence of Buhari is what he finally did. Since you are an avid supporter of Ameachi and his phantom digital project expected to save lives, can you please explain here how it is expected to work? Would it have stopped bombs and IEDs from being set on the train tracks? How would it be powered across miles of rail tracks without consistent electricity supply and guard against vandalism? |
AbujaCitiBlog:The observations raised by Osinbajo and the FEC on Amaechi's request are all valid. To worsen the case Amaechi said the N 3.7 billion was for a pilot to see if it works and then later extend acroas the country. So he already has a way out if the money ended up being a waste which is clearly the intention going by the engagement of a 2 year old company without requisite experience in the area. The speedy approval by Buhari in the wake of the disaster that happened without clarifying issues already raised shows an impulsive and shallow Chief Executive who is just looking for a quick fix to show he is doing something. Finally, Amaechi's statement is manipulative and insincere, aimed to take advantage of the situation without necessarily solving any problem but his own apparent pecuniary benefits from his annointed contractor. God help us if someone like that becomes President! |
Rollsnjaguar:This is not vision. Lagos roads are already chocked and one of the State Government's vision should be how to reduce the cars on the road with a metro or mass transit system. Furthermore, having drivers purchase a N9million car to repay N12million in 4 years isn't empowerment. If you give them soft loans of N 9 million for viable business, how many of them will do Taxi Hailing? Even for those who will do Taxi Hailing, how many will choose to buy a N9 million brand new car for the purpose? Now they will create competition for average Joes trying to make ends meet in the Uber or Taxify business with Tokunbo cars because if they charge around the same, people would prefer to ride the brand new cars. Unfortunately, the brand new cars won't last and the scheme would be unsustainable. The end game result is that everyone loses except those who enjoyed riding in the cars! |
phrancys001:Are you sympathetic to Iyamu the Human Trafficker? Or you ant to play a blame game with the victims? If the victims are alright with the arrangement and it is their free will, why the voodoo ritual to keep them bound? Why are they now testifying against her? The society is a bit better when people like Iyamu are locked away behind bars. Just ike in cases of drugs, the law is more concerned with punishing traffickers than users or victims because traffickers are in it for business and when they are taken out, the drug circulation is heavily reduced. So good riddance to Iyamu. |
JaroMan:Farooq Kperogi is in the academia albeit not a scientist. But he as well understands that evidence builds up conclusions for the conclusions to be credible. His writeup on Osinbajo is littered with some many conclusions and very thin on evidence that it makes a mockery of his intelligence. It is laughable how he tries to portray hearsay as supporting evidence of faulty and erroneous conclusions. What evidence really is there that Osinbajo is a religious bigot? From all Kperogi wrote, none. We have various evidence Pantami is or was a religious bigot through his utterances on Jihad and Al-Qaeda and others which are well documented. We have evidence Buhari is or was a religious bigot through his previous uterrances on Jihad and Boko Haram that are well recorded. Do we have similar evidence for Osinbajo? No! Kperogi should just go and sit down on this. He goofed big time. |
Omihanifa:Russia should prepare to bear the cost for rebuilding Ukraine from Russia's foreign reserve of US$500 billion in the care of the Western World. |
RenaissanceGuy:Ramon Abbas aka Hushpuppi and Abba Kyari aka Super Cop both seem to be incurable criminals. Even while in prison or corrrectional facility, Hushpuppi still found time to commit fraud. Similarly with Kyari who still found time to engage in crime while on suspension! Talk about birds of a feather... |
fasho01:It is all false bravado. The fact that Russia went to China for military assistance with weapons recently as well as the demonstrated incompetence of the Russian military at some points during the invasion of Ukriane have all helped to demystify them. Russia can only come out of this with a dented image because the world now see that weapons demonstrated during parade and anniversaries in Moscow were only for show and not functional. |
PENNYSWAP:If you do a thorough analysis of the situation and other related factors, you would see that Russia losses in all scenarios. What led to the collapse of the Soviet Union was not any firing of guns, it was economics. As it stands now, whatever seeming victory Russia is able to eke out of negotiations in the invasion of Ukraine is only Pyrrhic; the economic losses are very difficult to reverse and may lead eventually to the collapse of Putin's regime in Russia. The Russian oligarchs as well as a lot of fellow Russians have nothing to gain from the invasion of Ukraine and yet have suffered severe losses. They are not happy with Putin and he very well knows that. And they are not just a few people that share that mindset in Russia. |
A witness and nurse from Dowen College has told the Coroner that the late Sylvester Oromoni wasn't injured while playing football. This clearly contradicts the story from the school and now begs the question: If he wasn't injured playing football, how did the injury and wound that resulted in sepsis come about? There is really more to this story than what is being presented in the media. The Lagos Coroner heard yesterday that the late Sylvester Oromoni jnr was not injured while playing football.https://thenationonlineng.net/sylvester-oromoni-wasnt-injured-playing-football/amp/ |
Blaine756:Kadyrov was not with the team that was eliminated around Hostomel. It was his lieutenant General Magomed that was with them and he was killed. |
seunny4lif:Twitter handles have quotable links. The intelligent way to present information gotten from elsewhere in any discuss is to cite the sources. There is an adage that says it is only a liar that says his witness is in heaven or give ambiguous answers as to the identity of his witness. Even if this is a faceless forum, people need to learn how to engage in intelligent and constructive discuss instead of just commenting for commenting sake. |
seunny4lif:Please quote or cite sources talking about Magomed being alive after the report that he was killed around Hostomel. |
ArchiLimited:Same Kadyrov that his Chechen soldiers and 56 tanks were destroyed with the Chechen General Magomed also killed around Hostomel weeks ago. https://www.timesofisrael.com/ukrainian-forces-destroy-convoy-of-56-chechen-tanks-kill-general-near-kyiv-report/amp/ |
ACRI:They should instead sympathize with him and tap from his annointing, right? Is it that you believe the cannabis (drugs) were planted on him falsely or that it is a holy weakness that he is using cannabis? People who have sympathy for wolves in sheep's clothing that have been uncovered are not lovers of the sheep but wolves themselves. What Jesus said to Peter in John 21 is that if you truly love me, keep my sheep, feed my lamb and feed my sheep. For those of you supporting and sympathizing with the wolves that are eating the sheep and have been caught, it is better you repent before your condemnation comes. God is no respecter of persons! And for those trying to quote the bible to support themselves that all have sinned and fallen short, note that your strategy is not new. Satan also had the confidence to quote scriptures for the Lord Jesus in trying to trap Jesus and make him fall. But get thee behind us Satan!!! |
ThEGodFaThEr126:I guess Okeowo is either an agbero or fake pastor since he has narrowed the field to the two and he is also from South West. |
helinues:India abstained just like China. A simple Google search of credible news sources would have kept you properly informed. https://inews.co.uk/news/un-vote-ukraine-russia-countries-abstained-general-assembly-result-resolution-explained-1495346/amp https://www.nationalworld.com/news/world/un-general-assembly-vote-on-russia-ukraine-results-who-abstained-which-countries-opposed-3587664 |
blowjohn:The Palestinians are just trouble makers. The Temple Mount belongs to the Jews just like the entire Jerusalem within which is situated the Temple Mount, belong to the Jews. It is the holiest site of Judaism. King Solomon built the First Temple at the Temple Mount area in 957 BC. That is roughly 1,500 years before the advent of Islam and Muhammad's claimed vision of riding a steed to heaven overnight at the site of the Temple Mount! It wasn't until the 7th century which was well after the death of Muhammad that Umar the 2nd Rashidun Caliph built what was to become the Al-Aqsa mosque at the Temple Mount and it was regarded as the third holiest site in Islam. This was made possible by the Muslim Conquest of the Levant. Based on this little history it is clear who the usurpers and troublemaker are. A site that has belonged to someone for over 1,000 years. You now take it over and want to ban them from it. How funny. |
Kingsnairaland:Please stop spreading fake news. Do a proper internet search to confirm from multiple sources before citing. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/israel-not-pushing-ukraine-yield-russian-demands-ukraine-adviser-says-2022-03-12/ https://www.cityam.com/israel-and-ukraine-deny-claims-zelensky-was-told-to-surrender-to-putins-demands/?amp=1 |
Cvesta:I have helped you get the correct cost of the Afghanistan War and it is over US$2 Trillion at US$300 million per day. You can check the sources below. The United States economy was not bleeding from sanctions as a result of the Afghan War. Since despite the availability of the internet you still misrepresented the cost of the Afghanistan War, much cannot be said of your perception of the current cost of the Ukraine Invasion. Suffice to say, the sources below put it at over US$20 bilion per day and those are not just military costs. The Russian economy has been bleeding from sanctions since the invasion began and Russian companies lost an estimated US$70 billion in the first few days of the invasion. You need to educate yourself first before commenting on issues even if this is a faceless forum. https://www.aa.com.tr/en/russia-ukraine-crisis/daily-cost-of-ukraine-war-likely-to-exceed-20b-for-russia-study/2522706 https://www.consultancy.eu/news/amp/7433/research-ukraine-war-costs-russian-military-20-billion-per-day https://www.forbes.com/sites/hanktucker/2021/08/16/the-war-in-afghanistan-cost-america-300-million-per-day-for-20-years-with-big-bills-yet-to-come/?sh=1a183cc57f8d https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/5669656001 |
olatade:Putin entering into Kyiv is winning one battle and not the war. It is one thing to invade a country. It is another to keep the country subdued. The cost of invading Ukraine for just the past few days have created a very heavy toll on the Russian economy with the cost of war estimated at US$20 billion in daily losses to Russia. To continue bleeding money trying to keep over 40 million Ukrainians subdued is a worthless exercise economically. The end result in the short or long run is that Russia will leave Ukraine just like Americans left Afghanistan and Vietnam. How long Russia is easy to keep destorying its economy and wasting money on their stupid war in Ukraine is anybody's guess but there is no winning for them in this misadventure. |
Biodun556:The title of your post is misleading and erroneous. Russia has not been able to conclusively conquer and capture any major Ukrainian city till date. It is very clear to all that the invasion of Ukraine isn't going according to plan and has been quite frustrating for the Russians and Putin in particular. The entire Chechnya forces supplied by Kadyrov to aid the Russians have been eliminated with their tanks and more than 10,000 Russian Soldiers killed. Yes. Ukraine is under attack and bombings but the Russian economy is now in tatters with the Ukrainian invasion costing Russia more than US$20 billion per day! This week alone Putin has sacked some of his Generals and put the Heads of Intelligence under house arrest. Those are not the actions of someone who is winning. Sources: https://metro.co.uk/2022/03/10/ukraine-invasionputin-sacks-eight-generals-in-anger-at-slow-progress-16253423/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10603045/Putin-places-head-FSBs-foreign-intelligence-branch-house-arrest.html https://www.aa.com.tr/en/russia-ukraine-crisis/daily-cost-of-ukraine-war-likely-to-exceed-20b-for-russia-study/2522706 https://www.timesofisrael.com/ukrainian-forces-destroy-convoy-of-56-chechen-tanks-kill-general-near-kyiv-report/ |
tonididdy:I think you need to check into a hospital for evaluation. You seem to lack empathy and sometimes it is a symptom of an underlying psychological condition that is much more severe than presented on the surface. Even if you are a paid Russian propagandist, in situations like this you learn to be silent if you cannot express human sympathy. |
Dalil8:Forget about grandiose ideas od global politics. It is only natural that OPEC countries who have suffered low oil price for the past few years would be glad to enjoy the surge in prices. If not for the incompetence of our own Government, the surge in prices ideally should be prividing us much needed fund for our budget and not additional expenditure in the name of subsidy! |
Baybii:Ukraine should have obeyed Russia? They should sell their sovereignty just like Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage so that Russia can pat them on the head and not invade them? Do you know that Yanukovych, the Ukraine President who was Pro-Russia was removed by the Ukrainians in 2014 for rejecting a pending EU association agreement and choosing instead to pursue a Russian loan bailout and closer ties with Russia? The revolution in which Yanucovych was removed is known as the Revolution of Dignity. If someone says he would want to be sleeping with your wife under your roof or else he would fight you, would you agree to obey him for the sake of peace? Russia is losing at least US$20 billion daily prosecuting the war in Ukraine. They can destroy buildings in Ukriane but I doubt if they are costing US$10 billion in damages to Ukraine daily. Now how long Russia can afford to be losing US$20 billion daily with an economy that is badly battered at home and continued economic isolation from the world is left for anybody to guess. Read the analysis of the Russian situation in the ongoing war by an FSB Analyst below and you would know Putin made a big mistake invading Ukraine. https://twitter.com/igorsushko/status/1500301348780199937?s=19 https://georgiatoday.ge/analysis-of-current-situation-in-russia-and-ukraine-by-alleged-active-fsb-analyst/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.consultancy.eu/news/amp/7433/research-ukraine-war-costs-russian-military-20-billion-per-day |
pansophist:The reality is that the law of sovereignty of a nation that makes Pakistan to tell others it is not a slave to be pressured is the same that gives Ukraine the right to join any association it likes and codemns Russia from invading Ukraine for not dancing to Russia's tune. Any sovereign nation has the right to make their own decisions without the fear that another country would overrun them simply because that country is bigger and better armed. We are not on a jungle! Forget about your purported Chinese method. If your neighbour because he is bigger and more powerful that you says you shouldn't marry a particular woman and because of that invades your house, would you like it that rather than condemn him the people around are trying to call a round table meeting for settlement while he is damaging you? Is that the kind of world you want? Where it is a jungle? |
