That Arch Oluyemi Odeinde RIP whom you say is his uncle was born six years after him on March 25th 1960 at UCH Ibadan (i.e. University College Hospital) and so would be his half brother actually

Architect Oluyemi Odeinde's and possibly same for the 68 years old Mr Paul Bolton father, is Architect Olufemi Abayomi Odeinde, who passed away in 1981, due to injuries sustained in a motor accident

Architect Oluyemi Odeinde passed away peacefully in his sleep in the early hours of Thursday March the 18th of 2021 and would have been 62 years old if still alive. He was born on March 25th 1960 and was interred on March 25th 2021. His dad and grandad passed at 59 years old, but he broke that jinx

Mr Paul Bolton, should start with getting the correct spelling of the surname of his father (i.e. Architect Olufemi Abayomi Odeinde) right first, then realise that he has plenty of the Odeindes residing in the UK

What about his community in Nigeria? Any luck with searching it out?

It’s so painful as so many like this gentleman are in the dark about their roots. What historical information about their generations can the hand down?

Maybe his father’s house wallows in hardship and he is supposed to be the saviour.

It is very sad really.

Integrity keh?

How?

NURTW na wah

Tribune, SW newspaper.

But many have said bye bye already. With the level of tribalistic hatred especially among the youths. When the youths who are supposed to be the tomorrow of Nigeria are filled with such hatred, how can the future be guaranteed?

I really don't even understand what you're saying.... The Iran nuclear deal was going perfectly fine under Obama.... Until Trump came and scattered it, becoming unnecessary hostile to Iran and created tension between the both countries.

Because of that, Iran revived their nuclear program and increased their uranium stockpile. Now a democrat Biden wants to bring back the deal so things can go back to how they were before Trump came into power.

Same thing Trump did with the Paris Climate Accord, he left the deal for no other reason but to spite the democrats and Obama.

So I don't know why you're trying to blame the US for trying to bring back the deal.

Thanks bro.

I wonder how people draw their conclusions with so much bias.

Ooni:
Democrats are terrible with foreign policy.
They already started a conflict in Eastern Europe and want to start a fresh one in the middle east. Israel is your biggest ally in the middle east but you empower her arch enemy and still want her to join you against Russia (who she needs to defend her Syrian border)

No wonder Israel has stayed neutral in the Ukrainian conflict.

How did the democrats start the conflict in eastern Europe? Can you explain?

Expect replies from Fayemi and Mimiko.
Thankfully he did not mention Akeredolu.

nairalee:
I hope those Nigerians and others supporting putin can see how even Russians are treated unfairly.

As it stands Putin is fighting both Ukraine and Russia cos I dont see why independent News stations will begin to close up as democracy is trampled.

Putin should be more decisive and try to win over at least majority of his own people before fighting an external battle

“Who the gods want to kill, they first made mad”. That’s the case of Putin. His irresponsibly wrong doctrine will lead to more poverty in Russia.

His self manufactured thought that power is too one sided in Europe to the detriment of Russia now exposes the economic weakness of Russia and their dependence on European nations and the USA.

Once again, just like it happened in 1917 with the Bolshevik revolution, hopefully Putin’s resolve leads to a revolution that removes him from power.

femzy190:
Honestly you have said the Truth. Same thing happened to me while I was in school then. 10k was mistakenly added to the money I withdrew from the Bank on Campus. I had a misfeelings about it when I got home. So I kept the money with me thinking of bouncing on the money or not. Thank God the Cashier called me at exactly 6pm to ask if I was mistakenly given an addiction of 10k, then I said yes. Mind you the transfer was done around 10am in the morning. Honestly the POS guy in question knew and was tempted or perhaps waiting if he was going to be called or not, so that he can do the neeedful by spending d money. Ire ooo.

Hahahahahahahaha
Cheers.

premierlead:
You don't mean it! Mr integrity like Buhari you mean?

Integrity my feet

Must you wait till you were called to return the money if you didn't have the mind of carrying it in the first place

“ According to him, he told the bank staff to properly confirm the amount before he left the banking hall that morning.

He said at noon he surprisingly received a call from the same cashier telling him to cross check the amount paid to him as it seems he was overpaid with N100,000”.

Between a cashier and a customer who should cross check, knowing how things happen in our country? He just collected the money without cross checking, went to his shop, kept the money and next, boom, his integrity was tested. Next many things passed through his mind. Na wah.

I put it to the young man that he counted the money and knew how much was there. He waited thinking that the bank should not remember the money. When the bank called, he thought it would become a big issue. He then returned the money claiming that his integrity was tested.

Jagbajantis intete please.

Amid the fog of war, it can be hard to see the way forward. The news from the battlefield, the diplomatic noises off, the emotion of the grieving and displaced; all of this can be overwhelming. So let us step back for a moment and consider how the conflict in Ukraine might play out. What are some of the possible scenarios that politicians and military planners are examining? Few can predict the future with confidence, but here are some potential outcomes. Most are bleak.

Short war

Under this scenario, Russia escalates its military operations. There are more indiscriminate artillery and rocket strikes across Ukraine. The Russian air force - which has played a low-key role so far - launches devastating airstrikes. Massive cyber-attacks sweep across Ukraine, targeting key national infrastructure. Energy supplies and communications networks are cut off. Thousands of civilians die. Despite brave resistance, Kyiv falls within days. The government is replaced with a pro-Moscow puppet regime. President Zelensky is either assassinated or flees, to western Ukraine or even overseas, to set up a government in exile. President Putin declares victory and withdraws some forces, leaving enough behind to maintain some control. Thousands of refugees continue to flee west. Ukraine joins Belarus as a client state of Moscow.
This outcome is by no means impossible but would depend on several factors changing: Russian forces performing better, more of those forces being deployed, and Ukraine's extraordinary fighting spirit fading. Mr Putin might achieve regime change in Kyiv and the end of Ukraine's western integration. But any pro-Russian government would be illegitimate and vulnerable to insurgency. Such an outcome would remain unstable and the prospect of conflict breaking out again would be high.

Long war

Perhaps more likely is that this develops into a protracted war. Maybe Russian forces get bogged down, hampered by low morale, poor logistics and inept leadership. Maybe it takes longer for Russian forces to secure cities like Kyiv whose defenders fight from street to street. A long siege ensues. The fighting has echoes of Russia's long and brutal struggle in the 1990s to seize and largely destroy Grozny, the capital of Chechnya.
And even once Russian forces have achieved some presence in Ukraine's cities, perhaps they struggle to maintain control. Maybe Russia cannot provide enough troops to cover such a vast country. Ukraine's defensive forces transform into an effective insurgency, well-motivated and supported by local populations. The West continues to provide weapons and ammunition. And then, perhaps after many years, with maybe new leadership in Moscow, Russian forces eventually leave Ukraine, bowed and bloodied, just as their predecessors left Afghanistan in 1989 after a decade fighting Islamist insurgents.

European war

Might it be possible this war could spill outside Ukraine's borders? President Putin could seek to regain more parts of Russia's former empire by sending troops into ex-Soviet republics like Moldova and Georgia, that are not part of Nato. Or there could just be miscalculation and escalation. Mr Putin could declare Western arms supplies to Ukrainian forces are an act of aggression that warrant retaliation. He could threaten to send troops into the Baltic states - which are members of Nato - such as Lithuania, to establish a land corridor with the Russian coastal exclave of Kaliningrad.
This would be hugely dangerous and risk war with Nato. Under Article 5 of the military alliance's charter, an attack on one member is an attack on all. But Mr Putin might take the risk if he felt it was the only way of saving his leadership. If he was, perhaps, facing defeat in Ukraine, he might be tempted to escalate further. We now know the Russian leader is willing to break long-standing international norms. This same logic can be applied to the use of nuclear weapons. This week, Mr Putin put his nuclear forces on a higher level of alert. Most analysts doubt this means their use is likely or imminent. But it was a reminder that Russian doctrine allows for the possible use of tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield.

Diplomatic solution

Might there, despite everything, still be a possible diplomatic solution?
"The guns are talking now, but the path of dialogue must always remain open," said UN Secretary General António Guterres. Certainly dialogue continues. President Macron of France has spoken to President Putin on the phone. Diplomats say feelers are being stretched out to Moscow. And, surprisingly, Russian and Ukrainian officials have met for talks on the border with Belarus. They might not have made much progress. But, by agreeing to the talks, Putin seems to at least have accepted the possibility of a negotiated ceasefire.
The key question is whether the West can offer what diplomats refer to as an "off ramp", an American term for an exit off a major highway. Diplomats say it is important the Russian leader knows what it would take for Western sanctions to lift so a face-saving deal is at least possible.
Consider this scenario. The war goes badly for Russia. Sanctions begin to unsettle Moscow. Opposition grows as body bags return home. Mr Putin wonders if he has bitten off more than he can chew. He judges that continuing the war may be a greater threat to his leadership than the humiliation of ending it. China intervenes, putting pressure on Moscow to compromise, warning that it will not buy Russian oil and gas unless it de-escalates. So Mr Putin starts to look for a way out. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian authorities see the continuing destruction of their country and conclude that political compromise might be better than such devastating loss of life. So diplomats engage and a deal is done. Ukraine, say, accepts Russian sovereignty over Crimea and parts of the Donbas. In turn, Putin accepts Ukrainian independence and its right to deepen ties with Europe. This may not seem likely. But it is not beyond the realms of plausibility that such a scenario could emerge from the wreckage of a bloody conflict.

Putin ousted

And what of Vladimir Putin himself? When he launched his invasion, he declared: "We are ready for any outcome."
But what if that outcome was him losing power? It might seem unthinkable. Yet the world has changed in recent days and such things are now thought about. Professor Sir Lawrence Freedman, Emeritus Professor of War Studies at Kings College, London, wrote this week: "It is now as likely that there will be regime change in Moscow as in Kyiv."
Why might he say this? Well, perhaps Mr Putin pursues a disastrous war. Thousands of Russian soldiers die. The economic sanctions bite. Mr Putin loses popular support. Perhaps there is the threat of popular revolution. He uses Russia's internal security forces to suppress that opposition. But this turns sour and enough members of Russia's military, political and economic elite turn against him. The West makes clear that if Putin goes and is replaced by a more moderate leader, then Russia will see the lifting of some sanctions and a restoration of normal diplomatic relations. There is a bloody palace coup and Putin is out. Again, this may not seem likely right now. But it may not be implausible if the people who have benefited from Mr Putin no longer believe he can defend their interests.

Conclusion

These scenarios are not mutually exclusive - some of each could combine to produce different outcomes. But however this conflict plays out, the world has changed. It will not return to the status quo ante. Russia's relationship with the outside world will be different. European attitudes to security will be transformed. And the liberal, international rules-based order might just have rediscovered what it was for in the first place.

Good that the young men will be rescued from job market. Although politicians always act nice for publicity but it's ok. On a lighter note, may be they will dance at political campaigns.

The fact is that Chicken Republic did nothing wrong by dismissing them. Look, these two were employed as SECURITY GUARDS and not dancers. They were supposed to take strategic positions and watch customers as they come and go for safety within the company premises. They should go and join Peter Psquare.

On a serious note, most Nigerians especially youths are easily carried away by what they see because it appeals to their sense of entertainment. That's the reason why Abba Kyari posted dramatic pictures about fighting crime and got the tag of supercop. Politicians also act all kinds of roadside antics to show they are identify with common people and they succeed.

God bless who?

Even though Obama is terrible for what he did in Libya, you shouldn’t sit here praising Trump either.

Trump may not have started war that killed people, but he sure continued the wars started by his predecessors and his politicization of corona led to hundreds of people from his own country dying.

“ Even though Obama is terrible for what he did in Libya, you shouldn’t sit here praising Trump either”.

What did Obama do in Libya? Can you explain please?

chatinent:
And he is laughing like he won a medal.

Abi dem no beat am?

He actually took it all a joke. What a foolish fellow. Maybe he took that board as a sign of “I have arrived”.

The reality of his crime will dawn on him in the future when he has changed his ways and wants to aspire to decent offices. His past would be his barrier.

Great

Bollinga:
Kindly enlighten me. Was Libya a threat to the world, for USA to have invaded it and killed Gaddafi

Oh sure Muammar Gaddafi was a threat to the world as the Libyan leader.

Do you remember the Lockerbie air disaster in Scotland in 1988? Gaddafi bomb maker was made the bomb that brought that aircraft down killing close to 300 people. Of the amount 190 were Americans. That attack was traced to Gaddafi directly.

The targeting of a civilian aircraft might be considered an “act of war,” as the United States had treated the Libyan- sponsored attack on off-duty U.S. military personnel at a Berlin nightclub, the LaBelle disco- theque, in 1986. In response, U.S. military jets had carried out air strikes against Tripoli and Benghazi on the basis of an asserted U.S. right of self-defense under the UN Charter.

The Pan Am 103 and the French UTA 772 bombings in Chad had killed passengers from dozens of countries, and these incidents followed other Libyan-orchestrated indiscriminate attacks on civilians in Europe and elsewhere.

These acts were defined as international terrorism.

Gaddafi took a new stance with his new posture against state sponsored terrorism, but his downfall was caused by him.

The USA did not unilaterally invade Libya and kill Gaddafi. His removal was as a result of the revolt against his four decades of rule by his fellow citizens and his very poor handling of the fallout. The US and NATO intervened on the basis of a UN resolution on the on going civil war in Libya. That led to his downfall and loss of life.

Rugaria:
You're sprouting a lot of emotional rubbish.
No sense , no facts. Just loads of angry vituperations...
You and your western lords constitute a greater danger to humanity than Putin and Russia..

If you want some “sense” and “facts”, talk with decorum and drop your insolent response. My anger is justified in its absolute sense and not borne out of your imaginary “emotional rubbish”.

They got power by lying, remain in power by lying and hopefully lying will lead them away from power.

beautyhd:
Too harsh

I hope the US senator knows the full implications of his utterances, Putin is not gonna sit still and watch his assassination.

It's gonna be a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.

Impending full scale war loading.

This is to say that the west and EU underrated Putin, they didn't believe he will make good his threats and they feel insulted.

If the US has not acted like Putin in the past, they should take him out but if they have, they should bury their heads in shame. A case of pot calling kettle black.

They've done worse than Putin.

Anwar Saddat was shot dead right in front of his people on the parade ground.

J. F. Kennedy was shot dead as a sitting president

An attempt was made on the life of Ronald Reagan.

Murtala Mohammed was killed as a sitting head of state.

Stop living in illusion. There are leaders who must be removed for the world to experience peace. The world experienced a Hitler who killed millions of Jews in gas chambers and was waiting to do the same with Africans. With Hitler there was full scale war and it cost him his life.

Evil must never triumph over good. In invading a country with people living peacefully and turning them into refugees, Putin must be stopped.

I hope a revolt ensures in his country like that of 1917 and someone very close gets near him to remove him. Also must be ensured that his next in command is not his replica.

Very poor English. How can you talk with people reasonably?

Take a look at that woman whose mouth is like that of Nkapi, she was protesting then but talk about Buhari and she would become very abusive. The man in kaduna was also there deceiving gullible Yoruba people about Jonathan.

Whose mouth be like nkapi?
Chai. What a dangerous observation.

Just imagine that.

“ The Speaker of the Assembly, Francis Nwifuru said Mr Odefa wrote a letter in which he resigned his membership of the House, a claim Mr Odefa denied.

The House, after removing Mr Odefa, elected Ogbonnaya Ịkọrọ as the new deputy speaker.

The House said it declared the seats of the other two lawmakers vacant because of their alleged resignation from their party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)”.

One great challenge that we have in this country IMPUNITY. I strongly believe that democracy is not meant for every country and Nigeria appears as one of those countries. We have a democracy where elected representatives are removed with impunity from their seats by fellow elected representatives. Impunity is the reason why people in positions of power loot the resources and use the same stolen funds to campaign, deal with others and remain perpetually in power. We have a democracy where officials act like we are in a military regime. We have a country where democracy matters only when one’s rights are breached.

Umahi decamped from the PDP and retained his seat. He took along certain members of the HOA but some refused to decamp along and nobody sacked them. Now they have falsified documents showing that those who did not decamp, resigned from the PDP. How have they given themselves the powers of the court? If those who remained in the PDP resigned their party and positions, why did they go to court for justice?

The federal lawmakers in trying to amend the constitution were silent on the matter of decamping from the party one ran on its platform. I hope they will look into that as it will go a long way in controlling the greed of the politicians who take undue advantage always.

And he should prepare for another revolt that will remove his stooge.
