Obasanjo has his faults...

But he one of Nigeria's best in terms of leadership. He understands the Nigerian political terrain and challenges.


El rufia seems not to have still fully matured till date. Could be stunted growth... literally and figuratively!

dfrost:
Very young. Cool man.

NDA boys flying high

indemnityy:
Wasting of time, the dead is gone forever, doesn't acknowledge tribute.

Look around for the living, and extend help for them.

Opebiman:
You got it wrong
it was stated that Nigeria has 6 T129 attack helicopters not 6 attack helicopters in total.


6 more T129 are being planned for order.
NAF has over 30 attack helicopters made up of Mi 35M, Mi 24, AW109E, Super Puma and Mi 17 and T129

Lies lies and so much damn lies. None of those weapons are top of the range in anyway. Nigeria and the author of this article is a joke if he thinks any of what he listed above makes Nigeria's armed forces deadly in any way.

The Mi-35m which is a russian built combat helicopter was formerly regarded as a capable platform until mere 500 dollar drones that Ukraine cobbled together, made mincemeat of it. The Mi-35m costs within the range of 8 million-12 million dollars.

The T-72 is a joke of immense proportions with its terrible design that basically turns it into a cookbox that cooks off when hit due to how its shells are stored. They've not fared too well in Ukraine and Russia has all but abandoned them.

The J-17 thunder is a semi decent Chinese made fighter jet that as recently as a couple of months back saw action when Pakistan and India went at it. Pakistan did say that it used the J-17 to score direct air to air kills against a couple of Western made fighter jets operated by India. India and the West didn't refute that so it stands to say that the J-17 is an attack platform that will get the enemy to sit up.

Computer simulations conducted by the US puts the J-17 a step or two ahead of A and B block F-16s. Though there is no realistic data on how both platforms will operate when faced against each other in the real world.

If Nigeria had any where near decent leadership, we could be needling the US for a couple of Apaches and export variants of the M1 Abrams tanks. Those are game changing weapon platforms that the US has provided to Egypt and South Africa.

We call ourselves the giant of Africa but all we have is a catapult compared to what South Africa and Egypt have. Na mouth we get. Workings we no fit show.

ChiefOloye:
There's always the first time. GEJ has to be dissuaded from contesting, because the people who are pushing for his candidature are doing, not because they think he can win, but they want to fragment the votes of the South, so that Atiku can have his way. Oga, e no go work.

SadiqBabaSani:
I am a Southern Minority but I must say that the Tinubu Yoruba supporters are so despicable, are you guys not suppose to be wining more supporters for your Kinsman ?

AOB1:
It can never happen in Nigeria

pussyphilia:
This is what I want to confirm from the ladies themselves, but as usual, you who is a guy has assumed the position of the mouthpiece of ladies! You guys like to make up a lot things and claim ladies don't like this or that just to fit into whom you think ladies are! Why not allow real ladies to speak for themselves!

muyico:
That is failed of elected governors, they can't protect they re people

Nukilia:
Another APC-Sowore script targeted at the unsuspecting Nigerian masses

seunmsg:
lol. Tinubu that became president barely two years ago is why you’re poor and he’s also responsible for the inability of 95% of Nigerians to earn more than 500k? As in, do you guys think at all before posting craps like this?

MT:
Thank you for re-positioning the country. Thank you for venturing into areas where most past Presidents dare not.

Thank you for being honest with your intent. Thank you for creating hope for the Nation.

Lastly, thank you for being my President in a moment like this.

1. Romance has almost always been up for negotiation, only that up until now, many men have been able to get away with getting their needs met for free, while the women are left carrying the empty bag and baggage left behind.

2. What is the difference between a woman who gives up her body for free to a man and a woman who gives up the same body at a cost to another man?

3. There was never such a line. There was simply a male-dominated past now giving way to a present where females are stepping up to call the shots, as far as the cost of giving it up is concerned.

4. Men brought it down to where women decided it all had to change for the better.

Kobojunkie:
Marriage is itself an ephemeral contract meant to last for as long as the individuals in the marriage are willing to work towards. (Even the religious reloading indicates that it is till death, not everlasting.) It is dependent on the ephemeral efforts of the individuals who are bound by the contract.

2. Last I checked, even during the days of your ancestors — before the 21st century — the marriage abandonment rate(ala divorce) was just as high as it is today, even if unofficial.

3. I don't buy that reasoning at all! Humans will always be humans, and change is constant to us all.

4. Well, the same prescription for people who find themselves in such marriages during the time of your ancestors exists to this day: divorce. Yes, divorce is as old as marriage itself. 😏

Previous generations, including the religious hordes, for so long gaslighted women into avoiding divorce by heaping shame and humiliation on those who chose that way. (All this while menfolk were hailed as good men for discarding what were considered bad women.) Fortunately, the current generation of women is no longer choosing to live in bondage like their mothers and grandmothers before them.

Gaspardd:
My dad benefited this year.... But later my 7years old niece tells me how she used to eavesdrop my pops talking about buying long hair for someone on the phone.
3mths later my mum told me she checked pops balance and 200k was left inside with nothing to account for.
It was there I connected the dots and understood what my niece was talking about.

If they won't steal his mandate again, Peter Obi would still win.


@Ditari of Ijaw.

franchasng:
If America is not number one, that statistics is a scam.


You cannot tell me that you are smarter than Americans yet the world's innovations and groundbreaking technologies and scientific inventions always emerge from the same America. Even China in their smartness mostly copy American technologies discovered by Americans.


In my own personal experience about the world, the statistics should start from:


1.) USA
2.) UK
3.) Japan
4.) China
5.) others can follow

Okey dokey, so the President should have thrown away the recommendations of all the institutions of the committee and shut out the approval of the members of the security council and then go on a prison tour to the entire prisons in the country by himself and start screening the prisoners across the country by himself.. Oya judge your IQ

Putindbutt:
Judge urs
Power to accept or reject what is strictly on the list, he doesnt have to go to the prisons himself
Since you are pretending to have the intelligence of a 5yr old boy, i will also explain to you like a baby

TimeManager:
It seems we are forgetting a very important part of this whole process. The President did not singlehandedly approve the pardon. A Presidential committee was inaugurated from across the spectrum and they came up with recommendations which were submitted to the council of state for approval.
Unfortunately, some people read only to comment and get likes but not to understand for future reference. This goes to show the level of our educational systems, producing graduates who are quick to talk but slow to understanding.

-Kiss the truth!

Nairalander248:
But how Una dey marry person you no even love? How?

Okoroawusa:
Mmmmm... you made a valid point if one looks at the bigger picture.
