Cabals fighting back or what? We can criticise foreign powers (and rightly so) but proportionately, Nigerians are Nigeria's problems.

It's typical and normal with Gypsy communities to marry early. It's their tradition and culture. Tyson Fury himself began dating her mum at the same age as well.

Na today?
Lots of you are kids. Since the day of Obj, Russia signs agreement, MOU to "build power plants"

The project obviously didn't go ahead because "Friends of the Earth - Nigerian branch" (Which was started by, guess who? USA, UK, Sweden, France) decided that it's not a good idea for Nigeria to own and operate nuclear plants because of possible "radiation accident". We have massive unexplored uranium deposits in the North by the way.

Whatever the masters pressure us on, we must comply. The intention from them is clear - Africa MUST NOT rise. Also successive governments seem to shelve the projects of its predecessors in Nigeria.

Erm... Russia is Europe tho.

Ok Geography teacher. I mean Europe (Former colonial powers) as a political bloc - "insert France, Germany, UK etc". Not in the geographical sense, and as a matter of fact, only 23% of Russia is in Europe, the rest is in Asia.

This is something Europe or America will never do for Africa. They don't want us to use our resources for our own good and they want those resources dirt cheap.

Africa hasn’t had the same chance to build nuclear plants, despite supplying the raw uranium to the West. They benefitted first from fossil and nuclear, but now wants Africa to “skip” that phase and focus on renewables so that they can sell solar/wind technologies to us. Nuclear and gas are the only real options for constant 24/7 industrial scale power.

Yes we need renewable sources too but it cannot on its own meet Africa's needs. The West should not tell us what to do or how to do it anymore.

Good on Ethiopia and Niger.

The unfortunate guy probably didn't weigh 100Kg but attempting to carry 200Kg weight on his head. That's instant stroke or paralysis, he must have ruptured a blood vessel in his brain causing hemorrhage, or he may have suffered from collapsed/compressed spinal cord. Either one of the two or both.

This is a stupid, avoidable death

Africa of course! Why am I not surprised? The colonisers really did a number on us.

Or stoke more conflict to divert attention from the Epstein files. The guy is a bloody crook.

Oh yes and that one too. Especially now that the noise around Charlie Kirk’s assassination (which I think the "suspect" in custody may not be the culprit) is simmering down bit by bit.

Trump's plot is clear - Detach EU completely from Russia's oil so that Europe will be completely reliant on USA for oil and gas. Sell weapons to NATO-EU (who is broke by the way) to continue an already lost war, bringing more money to America's military complex. Trump is trying to kill two birds with one stone, use EU (who are already America's vassal states) to revive America's dying economy, and completely detach Europe from the BRICS market.

His non-alliance with Ukraine especially, is clear as day. The guy said “In any event, I wish both countries well. We will continue to supply weapons to NATO for NATO to do what they want with them. Good luck to all”. Guy is washing his hands off while making money for America through arms sale (which I doubt EU can afford) and Liquified Natural Gas sales.

Again, external open lab agenda dressed as "philanthropy". No billionaire should hold this much power over the health future of millions. Time we rid ourselves of these cycle of traps disguised as philanthropy. There's a reason Traore destroyed the Bill Gates GMO mosquitos in Burkina Faso.

Well, UN and ICC has long gone past their expiry date especially pertaining to African issues. Trump has recently been talking about sanctioning ICC because of their investigation into Bibi’s war crime in Gaza but it’s Ok to weaponise the same ICC against Putin who has legitimate national security concerns.

Good riddance to ICC in the Sahel states. They serve selective justice that are not in the interests of Africa. Absolutely useless institutions.

Trump has totally lost his mind. As a matter of fact, USA did not build the Bagram Base. The Soviet Union did

Always celebrating mediocrity "Another success story from the diaspora" Someone that could be used against the best interest of Nigeria and Africa in the near future. Laughing in Michael Langley

Putin obviously testing NATO and he finds them wanting. He knows they can't do anything. No spine, just press release after press release.

Saao:
oga if I slap you now and we started fighting, if Nigeria police is involved, since I was the first to slap you, I'm guilty as charge. Hamas attacked Israel first, killed them, took so many as hostage, to u, Israel should do nothing just the same way bandits and terrorists killed Nigeria and your government is doing nothing about. You're the one supporting Hamas because of religion, I never mention religion here. I'm supporting Israel to go extra mile to get her citizens from Hamas prison

Brilliant logic. Nairaland is never short of smart, knowledgeable thinkers

Jakumo:
North Korea is hell on Earth, followed closely by Russia.

Haha I like your sense of humour

Who is the largest assessed contributor to United Nations budget? He who pays the piper dictates the tune.

Gerrard59:
Why not? When did adf become an authoritatitive media on African affairs?



I am not doing any "China is my friend, the West is my enemy" sort of thing. All I want is a prosperous Africa. The big power that invests towards such is who I align with.

Exactly, I'm not pro-China or pro-Russia as a few have implied, but the West has a bloody and despicable track record on the continent of Africa. China has invested heavily in Africa, they don't get themselves involved in our domestic policies and affairs, neither do they fund insurgencies and uprisings. Who can say that about the West?

Watch what Professor Howard Nicholas said about their plan for Africa. I wish folks across the continent watch it to connect dots.

US doing what US does best. "Africa Defense Forum magazine (adf magazine)" is owned and operated by US Africa Command (AFRICOM) which is a branch of US department of defence.

This is their whole plan- create anti-China, anti-Russia resentment among Africans and it's sad that it always works because we Africans can't see through the manipulation, disinformation and misinformation. This is part of what they sent General Michael Langley to do in Africa. Strengthening US-Africa relationship through chaos, lining the pockets of hungry "investigate journalists" in Africa.

My heart goes out to:

Iryna Zarutska - The Ukranian lady who was brutally murdered on the train in America
The school kids who lost their lives to school shootings in America
The Malian, Burkinabe, Nigerien soldiers who lost their lives fighting 🇫🇷 sponsored terrorism.
The kids who lose their lives everyday in Gaza
The defenceless Sudanese fighting for their survival
People who lost their lives to kidnapping and terrorism in Nigeria
The victims of Dangote truck in Nigeria.

Bad news for Trump but trust him to still come out and call it a witch hunt

Large shark? A large shark would flip that boat and probably snack on a arm or leg for giggles

Came right in time when India and China signed agreement to resume trade through the Lipulekh pass in Nepal. IYKYK

Apogee14:
brother all this lunatic talk is not necessary. You made an accusation and we are asking you to back it up. Just because the man is dead and can't challenge you from the shadow realm don't mean you can just be making up stuff about him

You're right, it was John MacArthur (a pastor) who said it, but Charlie rode on his narratives based on shared ideology. In that regard I take back my previous reply.

Apogee14:
Can you provide proof he said that ?

Provide proof for who exactly? I'd help but I wouldn't want to deprive you of the chance to exercise your own brain. I mean it's a 5 seconds mental cardio, search it up yourself on Google (If you know what Google is and know how to use it).

Wait, hope Bill Gates Foundation has not visited Niger.

Charlie Kirk stated six months ago that the war in Ukraine benefits the Ukrainian ruling class.

"You have to ask a very simple question: who benefits from peace, and who benefits from war? The people of Ukraine benefit from peace. The people of America benefit from peace. Humanity benefits from peace. But then who benefits from war? The military-industrial complex, the oligarchs of Ukraine's ruling class," Kirk said at the time.

"We should resume diplomatic channels with the Russian Federation. There is a temptation to simply say that Russia is a great enemy of the USA. We made them enemies ourselves. Instead, we should try to drive a wedge between the Russian and Chinese communist marriage. The Russo-Ukrainian war was largely unnecessary. A peace agreement was on the table. Russia became our enemy because it was an ideological enemy. That regime fell, and there is no reason to keep them as our enemies. When the Soviet Union collapsed, it took many very false arguments to keep Russia as an enemy of the USA.”

But that the same time, Charlie Kirk has defended every massacre in Gaza and used every platform available to justify Israel’s starvation campaign

I fully support his stance on the Russia-Ukraine war. He was right to say America and the collective west made Russia their ideological enemy. On Israel however, well...Israel runs America. Israeli billionaires sponsors people like Charlie Kirk etc.

Erm, is this not the same guy that said Black people are cursed by God to be servile people who are “doomed to perpetual slavery? I don't support violence of any sort but people like him are waste of space.

Brendaniel:
The question is why Islam is used for terrorism?

There's a deep historical context to it. You may have to go back to the times of "The Crusades" to fully understand but in short, they are instruments in the hand of foreign powers, politicians etc. America had strong links with Al Qaeda, Ukraine is supporting the JNIM terrorists in the Sahel etc.

France's Vincent Crouzet (A member of French Intelligence Agency) once publicly said loosely in 2023 or so, that "Now that we are no more in the Sahel, we have more flexibility to start up some operations of destabilisation more secretively in the region". How do you think they carry out these destabilisation operations?

Omowale2023:
So what you are saying right now is, we can't pay subsidies right?
But the same government can buy cars of 150 million naira each to 109 senators and counting. We can renovate a VP house for 21 billion. We can do all that, but we can't cut government cost to pay subsidies that will help reduce inflation a little. And we wonder why we are here....😂😂😂
Nigeria is not a country

Again let's use some common sense (just a little) to actually understand stuffs. I'm not justifying corruption or misplaced priority here, only the Nigeria government can justify the purchase of cars and VP house renovation etc. Numbers are not my thing but this is very basic economics + common sense. Lets do some quick maths, 150 million Naira worth of car X 109 units + 21 billion Naira = 37.35 billion Naira, compared to 5.7 Trillion Naira that Nigeria spend on fuel subsidy/year. No matter what Federal government's reasons are, they cannot buy these cars and renovate houses every year or do they? But fuel subsidy (5.7 Trillion, give or take) is a recurring expense and has to be paid every single year.

Do I support cutting government spending? Absolutely where necessary but cutting government spending alone cannot, will not alleviate the strategic damage of servicing subsidy, it doesn't shift a needle. Nigeria simply cannot afford it, it's an economic suicide and THAT is what I'm saying!
