Lucas, do you think North Korea is the same as Libya or Iraq?

Before North Korea is wiped off from the world map, South Korea would have been incinerated & gone 1st.

Wait! Are we talking of the same North Korea that torpedoed a South Korean warship (Cheonan) on the 26th of March, 2010 - killing 46 people - and nothing, I mean absolutely nothing happened afterwards even when South Korea asked North Korea to apoogize; North Korea remained adamant & refused to apologize till today. Where tha fvck was Amerika when it happened?

Y do you think Amerika has been soft-pedalling on North Korea? Lucas - don't even get me started this afternoon

Council of the Russian Generals, Pls ignore that guy “CSTR12” above. He knows nothing!

Haha.
Says a putin worshipping mongrel who believes Russian SU-35s are better than F-35s and the russia's majorly soviet era tech is more advanced than america's.
A mongrel who believes russia would win against the US in an all-out war. Clown fooling himself as a cyber general.

Son of an incorrigible kleptomaniac.
Ugly fucckers.

Lucasbalo:
You are absolutely right. If Kim Jung Un attack America, North Korea will wiped off the World map.

We won't even need to activate our nuclear detterent capability. Two B-2 bombers hovering in the north korean skies unseen would do the job against kim jong un.
Or better still, a single US ship like USS pennsylvania with cruise missiles from the south china sea would be even more efficient against those north korean nut jobs.
God bless america.

mrvitalis:
Well no point then... That's high class economics bro.... My comments wasn't meant for people like u

lol.
See this nigger. Trying to defend a president's failure with capitalism.

mrvitalis:
Are we practicing capitalism or socialism??

I really don't know what your question has to do with my point.
MTN selling a few shares to the rich does not make buhari an achiever. He is a failure who should be impeached with immediate effect.

This is the guy behind the fascist tyrannical, islamic declaration in the islamic section. What a clown .
This is part of the legacy awo gave them. Pseudo-intellectualism.

mrvitalis:
That's the right thing to do... Sooner or later Nigerians would have the controlling shares.. Just like Coca-Cola Nigeria, Nigerian brewers, 7up AND UAC
And yet Buhari is doing nothing

Yes, because this is going to make the lives of the majority poor get better. I wonder how people like you reason. The things that affect the lives of most Nigerians have been jacked up beyond their reach by your incompetent president and his gang of clowns, how does a few shares to be bought by a buncha rich folks change or alleviate any of that?
Paid hack.

chydii:
Some of us still prefer six packs ooo.
#selfmade ladies

Why would an intelligent self-made lady go for six pack ? Any lazy fool with no ambition can have six packs just by working out, but very few guys are intelligent enough to earn enough for 6 cars.

free me abeg

ofcourse, ma.
Just showing you a different opinion.

Really? Well some people have something different to say.

You actually created one of the threads? Lol.

LordofNairaland:
I just finished reading Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun , and it got me thinking about the Nigerian Civil war; a war that could have been avoided.

In 1954, Action Group (The Western Party—Yoruba) demanded, at a constitutional conference held in London, that a right of secession be enshrined in the constitution of the emerging Nigerian nation to allow any part of the emergent nation to option out of Nigeria, should the need arise

This demand was rejected and resisted by the NCNC (The Eastern Party—Ibo). The NCNC would later be backed by the NPC (The Northern Party—Hausa/Fulani) who even threatened to view the demand of the AG as treasonable.

If the demand of the AG had been respected, the Nigerian Civil war wouldn't have happened.

You can read more on it here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Civil_War

Equating the decision of Nnamdi azikiwe to the entire igbo race is foolishness.
If it was left to Nnamdi azikiwe, ndi-igbo would never have secceeded .Which was why he never had any say in the secession that later came.
He lost his relevance to ojukwu.
Nnamdi azikiwe was more or less like an okorocha of the 60s, though much smarter, and more refined. Both of them pursued Nigeria's interests at the expense of igbo interest, unlike awolowo and his northern counterparts who couldn't give two shitts about Nigeria. Nnamdi was probably Nigeria's most patriotic leader ever, but then at what cost?
Sad really.

Just look at a country where the president first task ought to be the protection of lives of citizens. In a sane environment, Mr buhari and his band of clowns would have been impeached.
What a jungle of misfits and mentally deranged animals.

With this deal, isreal's future as the sole miltary and economic power of the middles-east is secured. Bad news for enemies of peace and progress.

senior Israeli official will arrive in Washington next week for a final round of negotiations involving the largest military aid package the United States has ever given any country and that will last more than a decade after President Obama leaves office.

Brig. Gen. Yaakov Nagel, the acting head of Israel’s National Security Council, has been dispatched with instructions to meet with White House officials in hopes of signing an agreement “as soon as possible,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said this week.

That represents a striking about-face for Netanyahu, who angered the Obama administration when he mused during a February meeting with his cabinet that Israel might decide to wait and “reach an agreement with the next administration.”
Nagel’s visit signals that Netanyahu may have concluded that he won’t necessarily get a better deal than the one he can forge with Obama, with whom he has had a visibly testy personal relationship. Both countries are now eager to strike a deal before Obama’s term ends.

The Obama administration has said it is prepared to sign a 10-year “memorandum of understanding” that significantly raises the $3.1 billion a year the United States currently grants Israel under an existing agreement that expires in 2018. In addition, Congress has provided additional money for missile defense.
Over months of secret negotiations that picked up steam late last year, Netanyahu was holding out for as much at $5 billion a year, according to accounts in the Israeli news media. Israelis argued that they need to spend much more on defense in the wake of last year’s Iran nuclear deal, which is freeing up frozen Iranian assets that Israel fears may be used in part to fund Iranian aggression in the region.

One major obstacle to finalizing an agreement, however, is a dispute over where the funds can be spent.

According to U.S. and Israeli analysts familiar with the negotiations, the Obama administration is insisting on phasing out a special arrangement that has allowed Israel to spend 26 percent of U.S. aid on its own defense research, development and procurement. No other country receiving U.S. funds is permitted to do so, but it was carved out in the 1980s to allow Israel to build up its nascent defense infrastructure. With Israel’s defense industry now thriving, the administration wants to pare that back and require that more U.S. aid go to American companies providing goods and services.

The possibility that Israeli defense companies could lose hundreds of millions of dollars of contracts is already causing controversy. Critics say they fear it could impair Israel’s ability to maintain equipment that is the most advanced in the region, known as its qualitative military edge.

[Israel braces for losses and layoffs under new military aid package]

“It will be devastating to Israeli military industries,” said Reuven Ben-Shalom, the former head of the North America branch of the Israeli military’s strategic planning division. “It’s not only a matter of business. . . . This money, 26 percent, enables the sustainment of our qualitative military edge.”

Israelis are also said to be displeased with a U.S. position that whatever amount of money they agree on will be final and that Israel will not go to Congress requesting more money, according to reports in the Israeli news media.

As the talks have dragged on, Netanyahu started getting pressured to finalize an agreement soon so that the Israeli military could proceed with its long-term planning. Israel’s finance and defense ministers both complained publicly that the delay was creating uncertainty that made planning difficult, and they urged that the deal be completed and signed quickly.

Some analysts said there was also growing recognition that concluding the agreement with Obama carried strong symbolism.

“Though he has been a strong supporter of Israeli security throughout his term, there’s clearly a difficult relationship between Netanyahu and Obama,” said Ilan Goldenberg, director of the Middle East Security Program at the Center for a New American Security. “For them to agree on this would send a signal to the world that although their personal relationship is not great, here Obama is making a down payment on 10 years of deep U.S.-Israeli security cooperation. That’s a powerful message.”

David Makovsky, an analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said that Israelis are conscious that support for Israel is slipping in some liberal quarters and that a 10-year deal with a liberal president would make it “bulletproof.”

Makovsky also cited the “unpredictability factor” of Donald Trump as a potential successor to Obama.

“He professes his support of Israel,” Makovsky said of Trump. “But he’s also someone saying America’s broke. A bit of bird-in-the-hand would lock that in.”

The U.S. election season also has put a more subtle pressure on Netanyahu, as Israeli diplomats and advisers expressed concern that the bipartisan support Israel could always count on could erode in a super-politicized election.

“The security assistance to Israel should not become a political football, anytime, and especially during an election season,” said Sallai Meridor, who was Israel’s ambassador to the United States when the last memorandum of understanding was signed, in 2007. “It’s a prerequisite that it should be endorsed and supported by both parties. That’s very important.”

The arrival of Nagel suggests that an agreement is entering the homestretch. Netanyahu has said he hopes talks will be concluded “within a few weeks.” Ultimately, both Obama and Netanyahu would gain political benefits from a deal, analysts say.

“It’s an exclamation point on the case the Obama administration has been making for years, that he strengthened more than ever the U.S. commitment to Israeli security,” said
David Halperin, director of the New York-based Israel Policy Forum. “And it helps Netanyahu rebut criticism in recent years that he has sometimes quietly, sometimes very bluntly, sided with Republican points of views.

“It helps a bit to restore balance,” Halperin said, “to return to the notion of bipartisanship when it comes to Israel’s security.”

Eglash reported from Jerusalem.

The White House is reportedly planning to accept Israeli demands for increased military aid, following pressure by the US Senate to sign a new Memorandum of Understanding laying out US support to Israel for the next decade.

With the current Memorandum of Understanding set to expire in 2018, Israel has been pressuring the White House to enlarge the annual aid package from $3.1 billion to between $4-4.5 billion.

Israel has stated that it must increase its military spending to cope with growing threats from ISIS and the Iranian regime following last year’s nuclear deal.

Since the signing of the deal last July, Iran has gone on a shopping spree for military hardware, purchasing Russian missiles, submarines, tanks, and fighter aircraft.

On Monday the Senate signed a joint letter calling on the White House to finalize a new Memorandum of Understanding, including a raise in the level of aid offered to Israel. The non-binding bipartisan declaration was adopted by 83 senators, including 51 of the Senate’s 54 Republicans and 32 Democrats.

In response to the letter, a White House official pledged that the new Memorandum of Understanding would include the largest military aid package ever offered to a foreign nation.
We are prepared to sign an MOU with Israel that would constitute the largest single pledge of military assistance to any country in US history.”

Despite the pledge, the White House has yet to specify how much will be included in the proposed MOU.

Iran is not in isreal's class

The US is not an animal farm where people get deported at the whims of a totaliterian leader like we have in Nigeria.There are due processes.
As long as you have fulfilled the requirements for citizenship and remained an upstanding citizen, no body can deport you.
The Nigerians on the other hand that were fortunate to be born on american soil are as much american as donald trump will ever be, and have acquired the privilege to contest for the presidency of the greatest nation on earth.

MrDavidson:
Laptops already infested with myriads of surveillance and spy softwares. I'm sure EFCC will throw them to the garbage dump immediately they leave. If the story is true, that's a classical insult to Nigeria. US that could install surveillance microphone into rats to send to Russia for spying, this is too foolish of them to do at this time. We can't fall for this.

Sorry, the US does not need to embed spy codes into laptops to get information about Nigeria.
We just need to put a call to your president and he would start spilling.
Spy codes and hi-tech surveillance gadgets are for serious countries that threaten our interest, not Nigeria.

What a despicable nitwit. I can see why people hate him.

erusen:
and the united what ?,common mehh

Yes, isreal has more nobel prize winners than the united states. That is a fact you can check online.
Though some of them have dual american citizenship.

superstar1:
What is this Ugandan saying?

It is no longer Biafran or IPOD? try again, you almost made sense.

olapluto:
Very vague claims. Israel remains a rogue nation built on the blood of innocent Palestinians. All this bla bla about tech, military and economic power is crap propaganda.

Netanyahu welcome to Nigeria though.

Vague claims?lol.
Your DSS goes on regular pilgrimage to isreal for training. That is public record.
And where do you think the tavor that your DSS proudly parades comes from? Isreal.
As for the rest of your palestinian bullshitt. Well, i have come to realize how futile it is to argue it.

Lucasbalo:
You are surprised the same junk coming from HAC MEMBERS. None of them would even get a visa to Russia. Any one with an iota of brain will know there is no comparison between the two countries. You and I have better chance of getting Russian visa than any of the Pootin lapdogs on nairaland.

They know the truth ofcourse. They just hate america for envious reasons.
I just hope somehow the state department has taken steps in banning some of these evil people on nairaland from ever visiting the united states and the developed west.

superstar1:
At last his relatives in Nigeria that are from Uganda, can finally reunite with their long lost Uncle.

More sales of Israeli Flag is expected. Business people cash in on it.

No shame at all in it.
I'd rather pledge allegiance to israel than saudi arabia and iran that 60% of your population including your president worship.

blackjack21:
Joke of the century.

How?
Which nation in the middles-east is in the class of israel?They have produced more nobel prize winners than all the muslim nations on earth combined, and the united states.

Pretty savagery behaviour by the father. There are much better ways to discipline.
But that girl is a fearless whoree. Bringing a randy man to bang in your father's house. No single fear or shame .
THAT disrespect alone probably drove the father to the point of temporary insanity where he had to record the whole shitt. He must have regretted it by now.

Lies and more lies.
Even the russsian president who just admitted to the US being the world's only superpower would be amazed at the lies.
I wonder why everybody is not migrating to russia. This is one of the reasons why the US would always be step 100 steps ahead of the rest of the world including russia.

axishale:

How this one wan take help our economy??

Isreal has much more to give your country than all the arab and persian nations that your president likes to visit.
Isreal is the technological, military, agricultural and economic power of the middle-east. They are also responsible for the training of your DSS and the supply of their tavors rifle.
I hope buhari would not let his religious bias prevent him from working with isreal. He is that dumb.

Listen to one of the greatest black leaders in history and maybe Nigerians here may learn one or two things about effective leadership, and why america will continue to remain the greatest nation on the face of the earth and the most powerful and effective world power in human history.
God bless america. God bless obama (president of the united states and leader of the free world).
May Our enemies all over the world continue to fall before our face.
