victorvezx:lolololol. Carrers destroyers are not new. It is just a mega-missile aimed solely at destroying vulnerable megastructures. Anybody can build a carrier destroyer. Even Iran and south africa. It is just basically giant missiles. |

Aigbofa:smh. Different options is all well and good which is also another reason why Nigeria is a shitthole, but that is not the main thing in question. You have no other alternative for your citizens, and yet the federal government failed to regulate the only one available. That is the crux of the matter. If the US had only one option, it would be heavily regulated than it currently is. And no, taxi drivers do not cheat their passengers in the US.The system is regulated. That is another nonsense you concoted from your afonja mind. And it is not because they are better human beings or have a higher moral code, it is because they have no choice. What you put in is what you get out. Even if you decide to roam the whole times square in a taxi like a maniac, what you put in is what you get. 2 Likes |

Aigbofa:[b]My friend, i am tired. I don't know if you are just trying to play dumb. That is not a failure of government. It is just a driver taking advantage of a naive passenger. The same passenger can sue if he wants to. I doubt if there is any legal basis for such in Nigeria There is no government regulation in Nigerian transport prices in the first place. Unlike in developed climes, where prices for distance travelled is controlled by the government, there is no such thing in Nigeria. The passenger and the driver already knows that the prices he would pay for the mileage is regulated by a fair system. It is left for the passenger to ensure that he/she does not use beyond the necessary mileage. In nigeria on the other hand, there is no appropriate price for mileage , which is supposed to a function of government regulation. Anybody can fix anything, which is no real fault of theirs anyway. It is a national failure more-or less. Bring american taxi drivers here and exposed them to unregulated capitalism, they would do the same thing. There is a reason why the greatest fraudsters in the world like maddof and co are not igbo men or African for that matter.[/b] 3 Likes |

Aigbofa:That is a different kettle of fish and you know it. You are still being charged the distance travelled as read by the government regulated meter. It is not the government's fault that you don't know the routes very well. And then it is a civil crime which you can sue for. |

MONITZ:This is no hollywood. American military superiority is not hollywood. It has been proven time and time in the realm world. American jets are real, american ships, american missiles are real, american nukes are real. Infact, Hollywood most of time is trying to show the people what already exists in the spirit of american transparency. 2 Likes |

Aigbofa:I didn't mean superior capitalism as a word. I mean capitalism is obviously superior when compared to socialism atleast for progresssive nations. Taxi drivers in the US have an automated meter that runs prices as appropriate with respect to distance travelled. Tapering with such by a driver is a crime that would earn you a jail time. And that is the government regulation i was talking about 1 Like |

MONITZ:Cock and bull story. The same peaceful Russia was not afraid to invade small ukraine and georgia. My friend shut up. The truth is the US is the bigger-dog here, that is why Russia is playing defence and trying to stay in their lanes. Beside, didn't you read that the US is merely responding to the recent Russian build-up in europe. Who do you think Russia is trying to build up against? It is not America i can assure you. Russia is trying to build up against weak european neighbours, and that is why NATO has to stop them. 2 Likes |

Aigbofa:Mindless greed is trait of humanity. And in places where the obviously superior capitalism is not regulated, exploitation would be the result. Either in the US, UK or Nigeria. And that is why the US have agencies like the SEC, FBI and co to monitor and control mindless western capitalism. 1 Like |

Zoharariel:Which ship is in Russian inventory that can intimidate the US? Which navy on earth can actually intimidate the US? The US currently has more ships than Russian and china combined, and i am not even talking about the sophistication. What of the number of aircrafts carriers? If you were smart you would have seen this as a ploy as usual by the republicans to further increase defence spending ,far beyond what is necessary. The major defence industries in america are owned by republicans and they want to make money, even if it means arming america beyond the reach of any foe in the next 1000000000000 years. 3 Likes |

xharder:Have you forgotten that the igbo nation is the only place in Nigeria where capitalism is a general ideology. The rest of Nigeria are socialistic hell-holes.And they are not very good at it. The part of Nigeria that had free education were taught by their sage how to be socialistic. The northern part of Nigeria on the other hand are socialistic through centuries of islamic conditioning. Look at kemi adeosun's brand of economics- That is socialism ,though the very unsophisticated kind. 3 Likes |

Simply a game of unconscionable capitalism where money has to be made ruthlessly. It is the same system practiced in america and the developed west though with serious government oversight to prevent exploitation. It is far better than whatever almajiri socialistic nonsense Nigeria currently practices, the fact that there is no oversight by the federal transport authorities shows the utter hopelessness of the Nigerian state. Infact, i think to an above average mind which is sorely lacking on this forum, it shows the promise of the igbo nation. A country ran on sheer capitalism where the poor can get to the very top on his own merits by playing the game of demand and supply. As long as there is federal oversight to prevent exploitation, it would be fine. 11 Likes |

Zoharariel:5000 miles ahead in a home game . You no even dey shame for russia. That is what the so-called most powerful man in the world has been relegated to - Playing defence in the face of the attacking American empire. This is the same Russia that quickly invaded and annexed vulnerable ukraine, now relegated to cowardly defence formation like a bittch. Come out and fight. The US is at the borders. 2 Likes |

America is not a third world nation or a dicatorship. It is a democratic institution that runs itself, with the powers of the president being liable to congressional oversights. A one-man shows like russia and the rest can collapse depending on who is in play, but not countries like the US. That is why i worry for russia when putin leaves the stage. 2 Likes |

Bellfun:Don't mind the clowns. The US already has russia surrounded on all sides and some jesters still think russia is ahead . They are ahead and yet they allowed themsleves to be surrounded by a mortal enemy. Something that can never happen in US territories. The smart ones among the rest of these russia-loving clowns know that nuclear deterrence is russia only defence against america, and i agree. And that is why putin has placed nuclear capable iskander missiles at the border like a coward. The US would eat russia alive without those nukes in play. 6 Likes |
