The US is not kbown to ever backed down, especially when pressed. They are used to having thier way throughout the world, and so, may just go all the way, since the Empire is not used to 'loosing faces'. Rather, they are addicted to giving ultimatums and orders to other nations, which are readily obeyed, by fire or by force.
And it is the same script, but by far more dangerous one, this Obama administration is currently playing.

Russia is not 'a sit and watch' nation nor an inferior that you simply can push about. But that is exactly what the US thinks. The Russian economy is weak, it can be hurt, and is hurting. But such has only increased the resolve of Russia and even unite the people the more in support for thier leader, Putin. Russians are hard people used to hard times. Check thier history and you will understand. But the likes of Obama dont understand this, and so they will do much more to 'pressure' Putin, hence, the likelihood that they will deliver arms to the Ukrainian. And once that happens, many will later undertsand what it takes to corner a bear.

This is why am so skeptical in believing the US will backtrack..



Well, lets hope all goes well at the end.

The North had there time in 1993 against the South without an Iota of reserve.

Now the wind of change is blowing and sweeping them off dramatically.

Interim government by IBB
Now, it is over to South.
But this time around, it will bé a long thing because the South-West is Championing it but in Proxy.

What a superior game!!

So you are an adult? Damn! And live in US and you are here - Nigerian forums, to insult purported enemies? Joblessness at its peak

This is the problem with Nigeria we use our mouths to destroy whatever we have. If Nigeria built the sudanese, highways, the peruvian tall building and subway you are posting here, you will use your same mouth to say that Los Angeles or New york ones are better or you would say they are not needed in the country at the moment. Your type would look for any excuse to criticize what ever is in your country.

The Uyo you are busy condemning, everyone in Nigeria Knows that 8yrs Ago Uyo was akin to a local government Hqts with nothing to boast of, It wasnt even mentioned in the committee of cities in Nigeria, But today its the toast of the country,and very difficult for you to talk about development in Nigeria without mentioning UYO. There is a reason for that! you cannot be smarter than the preponderance view of Nigerians about Uyo.

For you to tag 1500km of roads built in 7.5yrs, as 4 long roads is uncharitable and disingenuous I would challenge you to mention how many cities even in the develop societies that build that much roads within a short possible time?

Those 4 new flyovers in Uyo that you say are not needed , if you see them Abroad you will be taking pictures of them to post here and ask why Nigerian cant build flyovers like that.

A Stadium that has been nominated for a 2014 worlds best stadium of the year is what you dismiss as a college stadium?


The library in Uyo is not a conventional library but a digital library connected to several renown libraries the world over. I challenge you to mention the cities that are pulling down even their conventional libraries not to talk of a modern e - library.

All Projects that is done in akwa Ibom is of class and hence should be commended.

No country builds a city in one day it is a continuous process, all We need is a responsible government that keeps on moving on and i pray the next governor in Akwa Ibom will be like Akpabio.

If Uyo could draw attention to it self within just 8yrs due to the good projects in the state then there is hope for Akwa Ibom if this continues and I have every confidence just like Cfan that in the Next 2 decades Nigeria will be a country that people will be linning up for visas if we continue building at the pace that has been done in the last 8 yrs.

Nansense.

Yorubas alienated themselves from the start.

Can you deny that Goodluck's cabinet does not have any body from the southwest?

Keep decieving yourself.

Lagos, Ekiti, Ondo will all go to Jonathan.

Oyo and Ogun is either way.

Only osun will vote Buhari but Jonathan will still get at least 30% there.

The SouthSouth including Edo will go to the PDP.

The southeast will vote massively for Jonathan.

Plateau, Benue, Taraba and Adamawa will go to Goodluck as well.

Buhari will clinch Kwara, Niger, Nassarawa and Kogi but Jonathan will still record at least 30% there.

Kadunna will be dicey and will barely go to Jonathan. Same for Borno. The outcome of which will reflect in the entire voters distribution for the whole country (51 PDP and 49% APC). Why because these states are evenly Christian and Muslim and tht will reflect on the votes).

Kano, Sokoto, Katsina, Yobe, ,Kebbi and Jigawa will all go to Buhari but still Goodluck will manage at least 30%.

In the end Goodluck will emerge winner with a very tight margin.

The tripod policy of GEJ holds a very great future for Nigeria.

 Its a no-brainer that the agricultural, automobile and oil&gas downstream policies under GEJ spells abundance for Nigeria. 

Key examples for a layman

1. If all we did was feed ourselves without import in a year, the agricultural market in Nigeria is worth approx 20 trillion naira per annum assuming 300 naira per day for 170 million Nigerians for 365 days

2. The oil and gas downstream can employ the same number of people currently employed by the upstream. We can have refineries littered all over communties by the private sector in just two years at the removal of subsidy in Jun 2015. This industry will double Nigerians middle class which is the bane of the economy

3. With 5 car assembly plants nearing completion and another 5 to be completed this year. With the Target by FG to have the companies start car parts manufacture in 2017, Nigeria will be the soul of manufacture in Africa shortly and no engineer in Nigeria will be unemployed

4. Imagine if we save the foreign exchange used in importing food products, cars and refined crude oil products.... this will greatly improve our foreign exchange. A dollar could easily equal 70 naira or less by the time we are self sufficient in these three main sectors.

This is the future of Nigeria staring us right in the face and yet some people are screaming change. Change from what to what?

We cant afford to lose these gains. NO, NEVER!!, Unless God has given up on Nigeria. GEJ is a man of the future, shallow minds dont understand his policies.

Serious work is ongoing at Orient refinery, even 48km standard gauge road with bridges to the oil rig is fast ongoing too. There is limited access to the refinery due to security barricades. Orient petroleum is already producing crude oil in the Anambra basin.

Can anyone confirm the rumour that Dave Umahi was not presented as the PDP candidate. Instead Jonathan and Elechi chose to ignore Dave's presence. A friend of mine told me that PDP is yet to decide Umahi's candidature. Is it true?

You really don't know when to stop do you? I never noticed you, not until you quoted me with your vituperations.
The first post I quoted here in consent was the one telling missyb to allow for dissenting views without going personal. I quoted the post in solidarity with the dissents.

I hate joining issues or getting worked up over the internet. I never quoted you with any demeaning remarks. Heck, the guy I quoted didn't even quote you! Unless you know you're the one he's talking to.

gboss4sure:
Is that what they told you on CNN or have you been to Russia before? Russia population dying ke.

Senator David Mark is a Politician per excellence.

This is not just leadership but Political Leadership.

No wonder the whole of Idoma land unanimously voted he becomes sole candidate for that senatorial district come 2015..

If PDP wants a good fight against APC, they should Drop GEJ and pick David Mark.

That way, the power is not in the North and its not in the South, atleast its ok in the north central.

David Mark would bring much needed stability and sustainable peace atleast curbing this boko haram menace.

David mark is a Retired Soldier, rivals Buhari's credential even tho buhari was a General, David mark has more Democratic experience to Buhari..

I can't vote for GEJ again ooo, lai lai. Never would I..

If the contest is between David Mark and Buhari, I would weigh my options and think twice.. But if it is between GEJ and Buhari, walahi talahi I will not think twice. I will and Must Vote Buhari come 2015.
