How did a buffalo stray into this forest, they're usually found in the savannah

There are forest buffalos and there are savanna buffalos

Buffalos are severely endangered in Nigeria, this one could just be one of the very few that are remaining.

Little Napoleon may just be asking for some Oreshnik

I have the feeling they are the one sponsoring this in Nigeria to have reason to plan evil they have been planning to do.

You have a feeling? Good morning whenever you wake up.

It's only Nigerians that will see the truth right in front of them and still ask questions. USA, France Britain and co will make you sick then offer to SELL you the medicine, but the flock of sheep we have in Nigeria are too engaged with the after effect rather than the root cause. Everybody go dey ok last last.

This is what happens when great power face the threat of collapse - They provoke and invade

"Our brothers and sisters in Christ" took me the F out. Anyway continue.

These birds are not meant to be domesticated unless they're bred indoors. Besides, they are nocturnal. Imagine you're sleeping and a bird is flapping wings in your living area at night. LET IT GO! Whatever you do, don't harm it.

Dogs aren’t like gadgets that someone can simply recommend and you pick. A dog is a living companion with its own personality, needs, and temperament. You have to feel drawn to a particular breed, then take time to understand its behaviour, energy level, grooming needs, space requirements, and how much time and attention it needs. What works perfectly for one person may be completely wrong for another. Before you go buy a dog that will chew your furnitures before you return home from work one day out of boredom.

My advice would be: first consider your lifestyle, space, time, and experience with dogs, then research breeds whose temperament and needs match you. That connection matters more than any general recommendation. I have a Bull Mastiff X Staffordshire bull terrier and I know exactly why I chose her.

Is this man a Christian invading Ukraine causing destruction and associating with Iran and arming them.

Every single European that invaded Africa and perpetuated slavery and subsequent colonisation are all Christians, every single one of them.

mrvitalis:
Give me 5 different page of his manifesto that talks about removing the president I dare you

5 different pages? I bet the whole thing fits into a single page if you're not too generous with the font size. I should give you 5 different pages that talks about removing the president? I'll point you to where you can find the garbage if you can't find it yourself. Talking of the garbage, it has to be spelt out word for word for you to understand it's all about removing the incumbent and there's nothing there that screams "CHANGE" or "VISIONARY"? You've heard him deliver the manifesto? Bro bounce.

mrvitalis:
How can you know he has no vision when you haven't given him a chance

Only a fool does same thing over and over and expect Different results

The present is not working but u don't want an alternative because u are scared it might not working

Whip out his manifesto, it's all about removing Museveni from power while offering nothing substantial to Uganda(ns). Average Ugandans already know that the guy is empty politically. Ask him what his ideologies are and see if you'll get a coherent answer. You want to give someone like that a chance? Giving him a chance is synonymous to choosing one side of the same coin. The coin is still the coin but a side is not better than the other. As ironic as it may sound, Bobi would trail the path of the Museveni he so wanted to depose, they're the same, they're both foreign backed puppet, difference is that Bobi is younger.

The outside powers backing him are aware of the explosion of the youthful population in Uganda and who would they rather back to resonate with the younger generations than Bobi Wine? Being a great political activist doesn't make you a great politician. If you believe otherwise then I may just burst out laughing in Sowore.

Uganda/Africa doesn't need the likes of Museveni or Bobi Wine anymore. It's time for visionaries who sees past their nose.

It may be a sham election but opposition is not any different to the incumbent. Bobi's wet dreams is to depose Museveni from the seat, then what? Growing up in the slum and hustling your way out may resonates with the common man and gain you followership, then what?
Bobi Wine is just another foreign backed puppet with no vision for Uganda.

helinues:
I deliberately mentioned policies and decisions making. As long as those blacks who are representing us in the western world do not allow policies that will affect Africa, we can take care of ourselves.

Example are people like Madam NOI who is at World Bank, the AFDB president. Their decisions and policies as the head of important institutions could make the difference

I’m not disputing the importance of Africans in global institutions. My point is that individuals operate within institutional constraints. A Black head of the World Trade Organisation like Dr. Ngozi Iweala for example cannot fundamentally change global voting power, capital control, or development models on their own.

These organisations are not "my people my people" organisations. If representation alone were sufficient, Africa’s structural position in the global economy would already have shifted. The fact that it hasn’t, shows that the issue isn’t who is in the room, but how the room is designed.

helinues:
Colonialism is already correcting itself . Hardly you will see most of the western sport teams with no blacks inside. Their Government, policy/decision making, blacks are now part.

We should allow those who had that position to take care of the colonialism while the Africans focus on developing the continent

No, colonialism is not correcting itself. I think you’re equating representation in Western institutions with the correction of colonial structures, and those are very different things. Colonialism wasn’t primarily about who sits in government or plays sports, it was about how African economies were designed for extraction and dependency, which still continues till today through Neo-colonialism. We still have Western powers influencing Africa's strategic decisions. Through their "soft powers", they still influence in the background on who governs us.

I watched the vote counting in Uganda yesterday and saw a few white people on the seat. They do the same in Nigeria. Do you wonder why?

So, having Black people in Western systems doesn’t automatically rewire African trade terms, borders, capital flows, or industrial capacity. Those are structural issues Africans must address ourselves. Making reference to the likes of Kemi Badenoch, Bukayo Saka, Barack Obama or Anthony Joshua as a proof of "colonisation correcting itself" does not tally with extractive and predatory structures that the West built in Africa. Representation in the West isn’t the same as decolonisation. I think you missed the point here.

helinues:
My issue with Pan African movement is they will slow the future progress of Africa down as they would be busy with revisiting and correcting the past instead of focusing on future

I agree marginally with your statement because some strands of Pan-African discourse spend a lot of time on colonialism, slavery, reparation and historical blame, western exploitation (which still happens till today). But the time and energy spent relitigating the past could be spent on institution-building, technology, governance, and economic growth.

I think future progress depends wholly on how Pan-Africanism is practised rather than the Pan-African movement itself. In the same vein though, you cannot build a future with an unresolved past because historic damage does not make it disappear. Take for instance, our economies across Africa is wired for extraction, not development. Our borders were drawn up for the same reasons. To progress, we also need to revisit the past but actually use the momentum to move and look forward. I believe there are works in progress though.

Give Malema the president and see the white South Africans suffer.

No they will not suffer, Malema is smart enough to know that power is transient. If you've been following him, you would know that he's not anti-white, he's just pro-black. He believes in equal opportunities for all without marginalisation which still lingers post apartheid. This is not 1970s politics and Malema knows that so well.

helinues:
One thing I am afraid about Bobi is vengeance , same as Julius Malema. If they had power, they might focus their tenure in hunting others

Vengeance is certainly on the cards if Bobi Wine has power. The current political class in Uganda laid that foundation and Bobi would ride on it. I see him and Museveni as two sides of the same coin. I wouldn't put him in the same class as Julius Malema though - man is Pan-Africanist through and through.

Bobi Wine is just another foreign backed puppet, just like Museveni. He certainly would be Museveni 2.0. If anything, Museveni is a lot more experienced puppet than him who lacks economical and political literacy. He should stick to music.

PulaPower:
Who is Eu?
Who is USA?

Is trump not also European himself? No be same Europeans dominate USA?

Just say the Europeans in USA and the Europeans in Europe are playing their usual games. Trust any of these people at your own peril..

This is exactly my point, in and of itself. But the transatlantic relationship, shared value and ideology post world war 2 is crumbling right in front of our eyes. USA is going it alone, tearing apart the alliance. You may need to refer to the USA's National Security Strategy document to understand a bit more. The world order is changing, currently USA has no alliance but INTEREST.

If you'd like to know Trump hates the current European leaders including UK's Prime Minister. If he could colonise Europe, he would. I mean he is already colonising them economically. This is not "their usual game". Again refer to the USA's National Security Strategy document to understand more. Pan-Europeanism is slowly dying.

There's absolutely nothing these European Chihuahuas can do when Trump comes knocking on Greeland's door. Another 10% tariffs on an economy that is already struggling is a big blow. Now the EU can have a taste of what they all dish out to Africa and the rest of the world. This is sounding like the beginning of the end for Pan-Europeanism and certainly the beginning of a new world order.

OriOko88:
You must be on crack to think Germany is dealing with Russia. Same Germany thats massively developing weapons And army fr a potential war with Russia. No matter how Trump and EU drag this issue,they will still settle it. They're everlasting allies.

The EU detest doing business or sharing intelligence with China. They d rather perish than partner with Russia or china. Na family matter,dem go settle am

First, Germany is signalling pragmatism because its industrial base has been damaged by energy shocks and broken supply chains due to their war with Russia. Volkswagen plant closures and Mercedes re-entering Russia are survival strategies, this is what happens when economics and ideology collides.

Friedrich Mertz of Germany, Macron of France, Meloni of Italy, and even former NATO Secretary General are all saying that now is the best time to have a dialogue with Russia. Why? Because they are broke, they cannot continue the war with Russia on their own without USA’s backstop, their economy is struggling and their place in the world stage is diminishing. USA has its own problem and racing against China for global dominance but we have a dim donkey somewhere in Nigeria who thinks they’re an international politics analyst believing they’re making sense.

EU detest doing business with China? How will EU’s economy survive without China-EU bilateral trade? EU detest sharing intelligence with China? I’ve never heard that one before. The EU does not share intelligence with China. Full stop. Intelligence sharing is restricted to NATO allies and Five Eyes, neither of which China belongs to. Why on earth would you share intelligence with your largest strategic competitor? Your ignorance shone so bright it almost blinded me.

So no, I'm not on crack, I just engage with geopolitics at a depth headlines don’t reach. Catch up when you can.

That's why Friedrich Mertz of Germany is now signalling dialogue with Russia. Volkswagen is shutting down plants, Mercedes Benz has registered to trade in Russia. Germany and the whole of EU has put their eggs in one basket, now they've shot themselves in the foot.

By the way, USA "needs" Greenland because Greenland is immensely rich in minerals including rare earth. It's a race between two world powers. China has a huge advantage because they control the largest percentage of rare earth minerals processing and refining. America came late to the party.

TruthU87:
What trump meant: "Those are our agents, thanks for not hanging them"
the man lies too much, iran is hanging mossad agents

Plain and simple.

Saw a video of one of the agents galvanizing insurrection on a public transport. The kick and beating he got from the real patriotic Iranians is out of this world.

You mean the building of its Head Quarters to be specific.

But let me not be pedantic. The US has become a rogue state recently.

It has always been a rogue state. Past presidents do it covertly, Trump being an impulsive reality TV star is doing it brazenly with masks off. This is America.

Mr. Trump, you cannot bully Iran. Israel has missed the window of the regime change you both wanted in Iran. Now Netanyahu is in trouble. You pulled back because you're stuck, you pulled back because you know you can't proceed with the attack. You pulled back because Iran is actively hunting and deleting the SEE EYE HEY and Mo$$AD agents you sent there to spring up the fake and inorganic protest.

You pulled back because the Saudis and the Qataris has told you that you cannot use their base to launch attack against Iran because they know Iran will strike their oil fields and that will cause a ripple effect on global oil supply, average Americans and businesses will feel it and they will take to the street. You're not ready for the smoke Mr. Trump.

Why do they all look like doctors and diplomats

Chukwueze played that penalty kick like he didn't care at all.

I hope Nigeria would one day be able to stand up in absolute spirit of sovereignty against Imperialistic bullies. Iran, China, Russia, North Korea and India are the only countries in the world right now that can stand their ground against the colonisers. That's exactly why they are labelled all sorts of names like "undemocratic", communist state, dictator, authoritarian, rogue state etc. The masks are off!

madridguy:
This is a good reward for the saboteurs.

I am laughing at poster of the news waiting for the US to act now The US will never come, they used them to bring chaos in their country, and the mission has failed so let their families accept their fate and move on.

Act of treason and espionage shall not go unpunished. The protest was obviously sponsored and some of us know why US, Israel and the EU want a regime change in Iran and it's certainly not because of "democracy" or the "people" of Iran. It's exactly what they did with Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Ghadaffi in Libya and a lot of African head of state. Same playbook, same Modus Operandi, different day. But people supporting US intervention either has fuzzy memory or ignorant
