MikaelsonRx:You are absolutely right. With elements of surprise Israel defeated them within 6 days. The Arab commanders were ill prepared as well. However, same Israeli military couldn't defeat paramilitary forces in Jordan called Hezbollah in 2006. This ragtag group was able to withstand a more advanced and better prepared, better equipped Israeli military for 34 days. Nobody need to belittle any force anymore in these modern days. In the same vein, any country can be defeated by any country in any conventional war. Still, war is never the right solution to modern days issues and disagreements. Military power has never solved issues. |
resurgentxtian4:Actually you don't understand how nations relates with each other, but I'm not gonna lecture you for free. Meanwhile, Jerusalem isn't even yet settled. Because a single country choose to recognize it doesn't mean it is a done deal. That was demonstrated at the UN when the US and Trump was roundly defeated. So, to the international community Jerusalem is still the capital of a two nation, Israel and Palestine. QED. Nothing has changed. |
BornAgainMay:Joke it is then |
resurgentxtian4:Actually all Muslim countries don't want to defeat Israel because if they want they would have done that since. It won't take more than a month. Meanwhile, the only pillar Israel relies on is US. The only pillar Saudi Arabia relies on to stave off Iran is US. The biggest pillar the US relies on for fund, stability in oil market and military base for their operations in the middle East is Saudi Arabia. Do you understand the connections? Do you understand international politics and diplomacy at play? Israel and the US want no war with the Muslim countries. Muslim countries don't want no war with Israel or US. And it has absolutely nothing to do with God. It is all about economics, boy. |
resurgentxtian4:Lol. Why do you need to pocket Saudi Arabia? Shebi it is host of heaven that was going to get bombed , why won't your God just send angels to block the thermonuclear bomb before it wipe off the State of Israel? Yeye. You guys think real war is a Bible Story. This is real war, wake up. Why do you think the US is giving Israel defence grant worth $3bn every year? Why didn't US just send Bibles and Torah to Israel or build more Churches and Temples as defence? Make use of your nous often. |
chymer:Lol. Do you even realized that even if US recognized it it still doesn't change anything as far as the world still doesn't do. If only US move their Embassy to Jerusalem and every other nations left their Embassies in Tel Aviv does it change anything? When international discussion is going on Tel Aviv would be recognized as the capital, does it change anything? So, in case you don't know, it was a resounding defeat to Trump and Israel. And that's why Trump is threatening every nation. But he's just a child in adult skin, so such tantrums are expected. |
resurgentxtian4:Like I always say here kids will always be quick to insult instead of making intelligent submission. Anyway, I have said there is NO single country that can't be defeated. Even the US know this. That why they keep on spending more billions on defence than any country. Israel is just one tiny country that a single thermonuclear bomb wipe off the face of the earth. That's why the US and Israel are so scared of Iran. Even God will be amazed at how not a single plant will ever grow on that land again. But no sensible man will wish for a war. Even Israel is afraid of real war. Even the US is scared of engaging in real conventional war. But again, you're too young and bird-brained to know this. Cheers! |
BornAgainMay:Joke or satire? |
resurgentxtian4:When it comes to war, it has absolutely nothing to do with God or Heaven or Spiritual. But it has everything to do number of combatants, ammunitions, training, equipments, allies, territory, timing, tactics, strategies and financial power. Where was that God when Hitler murdered over 5 million Jews? Do you know how power Germany was during the reign of Adolf Hitler? Do you have any idea the number of countries and soldiers it took to defeat him? Any country anywhere in the world can be defeated with the right combinations of what I enumerated above, and it has nothing to do with God. So stop being superstitious about war, this is NO Bible story, this is real life, real war, real people and real firepower. Do you know that if Iran or Pakistan or Russia or UK or North Korea should drop a single nuclear bomb there more than half of Israel will be wiped out? Don't bring God into our physical warfare. God doesn't get involved in bloodsheddings perpetrated by intolerant humans like you and Trump. |
GodDeyCraze:You kids are always quick to insult people. Anyway, if it was a mere recognition why is the world buzzing about it? First, in international relations and diplomacy, countries recognize and accord your capital the due respect by establishing their Embassies there. Every country in the world diplomatic relations with Israel don't have Embassies in Jerusalem, they have it Tel Aviv Finally, who cares if anybody fights Israel? I know I don't. If a country is at war with another it doesn't matter who you and I support, the war will end and a country will win and the other will lost. Moreover, 128 countries of the world just stood against US and Israel and they all won. The whole world now acknowledge the foolery of Donald Trump. That's a big win for sanity and humanity. |
rose54321:Trump won't be US President for life. He will only be there for 4 years. After that it is back to sense and normalcy again. |
NubiLove:If US creditors should demand their own money-back too there may be no US economy again. Especially China, Saudi Arabia and other Middle East countries. |
nwakibie3:Where do you think money Federal, State and LGAs share every month came from? Ignorance is a Bi-a-tch! |
manutdadex:I was tempted to ignore your comment because it stinks of ignorance but I thought I will be doing an humanitarian work by educating you a little bit. First, you have little understanding of the term Medical Tourism that's why you're using it arbitrarily. You can be pardon for misusing it. Second, if billions were budgeted for Aso Rock Clinic, do you expect such "Clinic" to have all the necessary equipment, facilities and qualified personnel with requisite experiences available to treat President Buhari of his illness? You expected that to happen within how many years? The hospital PMB used to treat himself in London, do you have an idea of how long it took them and how much it cost them to have such standards? Then talking about $1bn from ECA to fight Boko Haram, though unrelated to the topic but you're still ignorant about it all. How much does APCs, Jets, Gears, Guns etc cost from the international market? Do you know how much the US has spent in their war against terrorism and yet they haven't defeat terrorism? Do you know how much grant US give Isreal every year just to fight tiny Palestine? In 2014 GEJ withdrew $2bn from ECA to fight Boko Haram what did he used it for? Did you query such withdrawal back then? You talking about PMB cows is just pure bunkum. How could you have known that his cows aren't growing? We're the cows meant to be used as arts in a museum? Are they not supposed to be sold? What if some had had calf and some sold off? What if they have had some mortalities? Make use of your nous once in a while. Finally, Nigeria economy is actually growing faster than even World Bank and IMF estimates. Again, make use of that thing enclosed within your skull it is suppose to improve your mental capacity and learning ability. |
uloewa:Apparently you didn't even read the story or you didn't comprehend at all. Do you need a collateral when you're applying for a mortgage? And there's no crime committed whenever Buhari talks about the past, after all the past made him who he is today. |
manutdadex:Apparently, you don't understand what he was trying to say. But let me even use your twisted logic to enlighten you a little bit. Because he doesn't know how to make himself wealthy is NOT same as wasting fund. The stories of highly successful men who worked for their money and end up blowing it all up abounds. Google some and learn. Thus knowing how to make money is not same as knowing how to spend it wisely. Likewise, not knowing how to make money is not same as not knowing how to spend. As much as they are not mutually exclusive, they are not mutually interdependent. FYI, that the President of a country went to another country to seek for medical treatment is country could hardly provide is not medical tourism. The life of the President is highly precious and the country is obligated to take responsibility for his health and safety. It is the same worldwide. But let me educate you on how a leader can be very wasteful. When David Cameron was the Prime Minister of UK he was regularly going on holiday outside the UK. In 2011 alone David Cameron went to Grenada, Ibiza in Spain and Tuscany in Italy. But David knows how to make money, in fact he is very rich because he is from a wealthy family. But using your logic he was still wasting UK resources going tourism using holiday as excuses. Do you want me to talk about Donald Trump who even though he was from a very family still made his billions after so many bankruptcies. Do you want me to talk about how he is wasting the US resources? You see my "zombism" as you put is truly on another level, a so high level it accords me a superior reasoning capacity, something you clearly lack. |
dukie25:His brother, your President started the Change Begins With Me campaign and people like you have refused to embraced it. There is little a democratic government can do to change that attitude of citizens when they have born into irresponsibility, immaturity and indiscipline. Start obeying traffics. Start using the flyovers. Start using your seat belt. Start using helmets when you're on a bike. Stop littering the environment with water satchet, sweet wrappers, boli wrappers etc. President Buhari will not do those for you, you have to do it yourself. The guys in those cars aren't the President of Jordan, there are ordinary citizens like you. Change Begins With You! |
Okoroawusa:No, it begins with me. It begins with you. It begins with everybody. The people in those cars aren't the Honorables in Jordan but ordinary citizens like you and I. Waiting for government to do what we have to do is sheer laziness and unserious attitude to change, legality and what's morally right. Do your own part. I do part and majority would have already been doing the right things, after all we have less than 500 Honorables in Abuja while the ordinary citizens are over 170 million. |
thewritingtodo:Unbelievable! So it is the duty of a good parent to leave an inheritance for their children even if it means stealing from the government right? Unbelievable! And y'all will be shouting you don't want corruption while your heart, brain and mind are all corrupted. How could you displayed a corrupted line of thought in respect of a public servant who have served the country diligently and honestly, a man who has refused to join the bandwagon of thieves robbing y'all your future. Did you that Bill Clinton left the White House with millions in debt even though he was a lawyer, a governor and President of the biggest economy in the world? He only started making money after he left the White House and started charging for Speeches. True and patriotic public servants don't become richer after serving the country. They only become more and highly connected. If you're so inclined to amassing wealth then you milk your connection, but if you're more concerned about peaceful, moral and spartan living like Buhari, then you don't milk the connections you made. FYI, any public servant who went into elective offices and came out far richer than they went in is a big thief. QED. |
hooklover:You were quick to insult me yet you're so dim-witted to know running a country isn't the same as running a business. You were quick to insult me yet you're too bird-brained to understand the obvious difference between politics and private enterprise. You were quick to insult me yet you're too cretinous to understand that most of the successful leaders in the world over are never successful businessmen and businesswomen. You were quick to insult me yet you're too crackbrained to understand that government was never in the business governance to make money but to serve the citizens. Nigerian youth with their lack of mental capacity and subtlety. You are a perfect specimen for a case study. |
concupiscent:Song ministration? A Gospel song or Secular songs like that of Majek? Meanwhile, since it is all about love, when don't you advice your Pastor to invite La danse du fessier group to come perform in your Church. In case you haven't heard this type of entertainers before, perhaps you've heard of Mapouka? Ask your Pastor to invite to come and minister na as these entertainers can NEVER be allowed close to a Mosque or Jew, Buddhist or Hindu Temples, after all other religions cannot be a yardstick for the church. Twisted logic. |
As a matter of fact, that's one of the qualities Nigerians sees in him. Nigeria as a country doesn't necessarily need a politician who knows how to make or acquire personal fortune. What we need is a patriotic Nigeria who isn't motivated by personal aggrandizement and wealth accumulation. In a country where public office is guarantee way to become rich, If someone who's held several public offices had to borrowed to build his houses then such person has lived an exemplary life. Today in Nigeria, there's NO politician, I repeat, no politician that can boldly say the something President Buhari said. It is no surprise that the world is admiring this rare of man, a rare gem in the public service, a man who can proudly and boldly said: "I came into this world with nothing and I will leave with nothing, why should I steal?" And why should anybody who is sensible, morally responsible, religiously upright and patriotic ever want to steal the commonwealth of close to 200 million people? God bless President Buhari |
tballeyy:Lol. Ignorance is a lethal disease indeed. Are you suggesting these men were service chiefs in 2015 when GEJ was President? Or Are you suggesting that these men who weren't service chiefs before May 29 2015 were more powerful than the then Service Chiefs who served under GEJ. Nigerian youths and their lack of knowledge and proper reasoning. |
CharleyBright:Vacuous comment! |
bencynthgreat:Lol. But PDP was ruling for 16 years it wasn't one-sided abi? Since 1999 PDP has been ruling Enugu, Abia, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Bayelsa, Rivers, Delta that's not one-sided abi? Is that how your "young and vibrant" brain dey reason abi? Since 1986, Republicans have been governing the State of Alabama in the US. In fact the people just elected a Democrat Senator for the first for over 25 years. That's not one-sided abi? Is that how your "young and vibrant" brain dey reason abi? Since 2010, the Conservative Party has been changing Prime Minister within the party without any general election. That's not one-sided abi? Is that how your "young and vibrant" brain dey reason abi? Like my people say it was the toothless man wants to eat akara that akara is now considered a stone. So when it was time for APC to dominate Nigerian politics that's when political domination is your forbidden "one-sided" politics. Look for the meaning of hypocrisy. |
nonut:I said active politicians and you mentioned IBB and Obasanjo. These men have retired from politics. And you mentioning Atiku means you're just joking after all. How could anybody compare Atiku and Tinubu? Tinubu is way up there in Nigerian politics while Atiku has just climbed few steps on the ladder. Politicians consulted Tinubu not just for fund but for strategies, tactics and for boys who can pull strings. Atiku is just an ordinary inanimate ATM. Actually PDP is a regional party. The party of the SS and SE. The only National party in Nigeria right now is APC. And since you don't know, let me inform you that the king in PDP at the moment, is the thuggish Wike. You claimed Oyegun challenged Tinubu with the backing of the President. I guess you're talking about Ondo right. Lol. It's obvious you don't know what politicking is all about. The President in any party is the most senior member of that party. The Chairman is also the highest person in elective post within the party. These two people can move both the party machineries and the govt. power and might to achieve whatever they desire. And what makes you think what happened in Ondo isn't exactly what Tinubu and APC wanted? Politics is deeper than you know. In PDP who is exactly a heavyweight? Fayose? Lol. Wike? Hehehe. Jonathan? LMAO. FFK? Hahaha. Who is the heavyweight in that PDP, heavy enough to challenge the influence and reach of Tinubu. Like I told you even Jonathan when he was the President back in 2011 had to make a deal with Tinubu so he can win the election. Once again, the influence and reach of Asiwaju Tinubu transcend the shores of Nigeria, it extends to West Africa and beyond. He is the Jagaban after all. The only politicians that fought OBJ for 8 years, fought FGN for 16 years, dethrone a sitting President and still living and blossoming to talk about it. Gba fun oga e jor! |
nonut:Actually, Tinubu is the biggest fish in the largest sea of Nigerian politics. No Nigerian politician seeking to occupy Aso Rock that doesn't consult Tinubu. Jonathan even had a deal with him in 2011. Atiku did in 2007. Buhari did in 2015. Even our neighbour Ghana, their politicians consult Jagaban. So, pray, tell, who's a more bigger fish in active politics than Jagaban in that your imagined ocean? |
omoranmilowo:First, there was never any cabal anywhere except in the imagination of the wailers. Second, the President did nothing to him. You have to look at the offices the so-called Tinubu boys are holding in this government to appreciate the power and influence of Jagaban. Finally, Tinubu has never abandon any party he has built with his own very hand. He had the reasons, motivation, incentives and excuses to jump ship to PDP but he never did. Tinubu owns Nigerian politics, don't ever make that mistake of discounting him. Tinubu is APC. APC is Tinubu. So nobody need to bribe him with nothing to remain in a party he almost single-handedly built. Tinubu is NOT Atiku. |
olutunde12:Permit me to educate you on what you don't know. First, this is NO fake news. It is real. I'm privy to it and I knew weeks before it was announced. In fact, Alao-Akala son is the caretaker Chairman of Ogbomoso North LGA. Alao-Akala did left PDP only when he was schemed out of the December 8, 2014 PDP governorship primaries. He could have joined APC then but he didn't. He joined LP and within months he financed Labour Party. He contested and he won all the 5 LGAs in Ogbomoso Land in the April 2015 Governorship Elections beating APC, Accord and PDP. His boys are in House of Rep and Oyo State Assembly, they got there through Labour Party. Then go check the final results of that Governorship Elections, Akala's LP performed well. Even in Ibadan, Akala's Labour Party performed well better than PDP in 2015. Overall, LP came 3rd and PDP 4th with Accord 2nd and APC winning the elections. Thus, if you think Akala is a lightweight in Oyo Politics then you're obviously ignorant of the political terrain in the State. With the calibre of people who have defected to APC I can confidently inform you that PDP is dead and buried in Oyo State. They can't even win a LGA election. |
SalamRushdie:Again, you're blind to where the article said: "Omarosa was the director of African-American outreach in Trump’s campaign" abi? Nigerian youths with reading and comprehension problems. May your God heal you, fast. |
Solmax:That you had met someone who claimed to have bought a slot is not good enough evidence. Let's have the details, the amount paid, the account paid into and I can guarantee that the owner of such account will be exposed and justice will be done. If you are being cheated out of what's fundamentally your right and you are a willing victim because of your silence in the presence of evil then you have no right to complain thereafter. I'm offering the opportunity to seek redress. Take it up or be quite and stop complaining. It was after the CBN scandal that FGN gave directives on the embargo on such kind of employments. |
iVentHub:Two things from your comment: 1. What you said is just a mere conjecture. Baseless allegation. Presumptuous assumption. 2. If this government actually create 3 million secret jobs, that would be an unprecedented achievement. In fact you should pray that this happen because unemployment rate would have reduced drastically. |
