PoliticsRe: Obaseki To Wike: We Won't Support Your 2023 Presidential Ambition by d142475:
This is why the North will continue to rule every level of Nigeria and control the resources of the South. The sophisticated morons of the South are busy chasing shadows and fighting one another.
I used to be angry about Northern dominance in Nigerian politics and government, but with what these Southern morons are doing, I’m beginning to feel that they actually deserve to be slaves of the North and maybe this realization will make me feel better.
The South claims to be educated, but with all their gra gra, they are ALWAYS outwitted by the North. The North will be having orgasm reading this headline of the fight between Southern egomaniacs who masquerade as leaders.

The North have their issues, they are not as united as we think they are. For instance, the Fualnis and the Kanuris are not best of friends, then there is the diverse minority tribes in the North. But when it comes to politics, they understand that to rule, they have to bind together and rally behind their man- they are also loyal (look at how the WHOLE North is rallying behind Abba Kyari- a Kanuri man from Borno. Many think he is Fulani, but he’s not. But Malami, a Fulani man, will stand behind Kyari, cos he is a northern Muslim male- he sees him as his brother). They do not backstab or betray as much as the egomaniacs in the South. The North does not see party, all they see is religion and region- forget the lip service they pay to parties. The South are too busy massaging their enslaved egos to understand that politics in Nigeria as is, is between North and South, not between PDP and APC.

The South is not ready for prime time. The North will still get the presidency in 2023 or at the very best, reluectantly bring in a Southern puppet, but still retain the ability to pull the strings. I tell you for free that a strong and astute Southern candidate is their worst fear.

If Putin enters Kyiv, he has won the war. If the Ukrainians preserve Kyiv, they are the ones who have won the war. Kyiv is the key to this war. Make Kyiv the new Stalingrad.
It depends on what you mean by winning. Putin may overthrow the government, install a puppet regime, but he will never be able to win the hearts and minds of the Ukrainians. The puppet government will never be able to gain legitimacy in the eyes of Ukrainians and of the world. And most importantly, the Ukrainians will never give up the fight for freedom. The best case for Putin is to install a puppet government and be prepared to fight guerrilla warfare for years while suffering the sanctions from the West. This will finally cripple Russia.
Putin can never win this war. He was clearly Ill- advised , but he won’t back down because of his ego. Putin don enter once chance.

Na lie o. Liverpool just used experience to manage that game (game management). Up until that Matip misplaced pass , there was no real threat to our defense ( Inter were just doing gra gra and running all over the place ) and If Mo Salah had shot into that empty net, the game would have been effectively won by Liverpool.
Liverpool were just conserving their strengths for the tight run of fixtures ahead. If needed, they would shifted gear and cranked up their intensity. They were winning 2-1 overall and all they had to do was to manage the game, which they did well.
PoliticsRe: El-Rufai: Only Buhari Can Convince Me Run For Presidency Or Be A Running Mate by d142475: 10:09pm On Mar 09, 2022
I am not a tribalist and I hate to stereotype a tribe, but we've got to call a spade a spade. When it comes to power and politics, take a Fulani man with a pinch of salt. They are the most cunning tribe in Nigeria. Never trust a fulani man when it comes to power. They feel power is their God given right and they have an imperialist mentality-Fualnis still have the 19th century- Uthman Dan Fodio inspired mentality of dominating, ruling and conquering, using religion as a bedrock. Fualni intellectuals, are smart and intellectually dishonest. The fulanis, even the herdsmen, heave a sense of history and a sense of mission -to realize the dream of Dan Fodio one way or the other.

When it comes to power and politics, do not trust a fulani man. I repeat, do not trust a fulani man, no matter how well spoken they appear to be. El-Rufai and his friends will not leave the corridors of power. The fulanisi orgasm when they hear of power and domination and they will never willingly give it up unless they've seen that doing so will somehow be in their long term interest . See how they have totally subjugated the Hausas in the North in every sphere-Religion, Politics, traditional institutions, and education.
Foreign AffairsRe: European Leaders Warn Against Ban On Energy Imports From Russia by d142475: 12:37pm On Mar 08, 2022
SmartProf:
If Ukraine had a glimpse that the support they were gonna receive from the West and other European nations was gonna play out this way, they would never had played themselves into a war where they are now the biggest losers.
Bro, the Ukrainians are doing what every normal person would do. Check out Putin’d demands na: YOU MUST DISARM YOUR COUNTRY; YOU MUST RECOGNIZE THE INDEPENDENCE OF THREE OF YOUR REGIONS; YOU MUST NOT JOIN ANY BLOC.
Guy, this is a war of dignity and independence. They were passive when Russia annexed Crimea and this emboldened Russia to go for more. If they give in to Russian demands, what next will they demand for ? Maybe that they should scrap their national flag and national anthem?
Sometimes in the life of a man, you must fight once and for all, let the worst happen. Have you not heard the saying : “Give me freedom or give me death”? Even the most vulnerable citizens of Ukraine are in support of this war. That is why they have the sympathy of the world- they were invaded for God sake! It’s a bite of a goat that is being pinned to a wall. Ukrainians are only defending their country; they did not invade Russia, Russia brought war to them. So if they give up all their weapons as Russia is demanding, how do you guarantee that Russia will not come back for more in the future. The mindset in Ukraine is “ we will fight till the last drop of our bloods”. It’s the war if dignity; it’s the war of pride; it’s the war of glory. Faced with the prospects of being slaves or death, they are choosing to fight not to be slaves, even if it leads to their deaths.

PoliticsRe: Zoning Of 2023 Presidency Divides PDP Govs, Federal Lawmakers by d142475:
Nigerians have indeed a very funny mentality; it seems we are the architect of what we are going through. How can a sane person support Atiku ? Here are some facts about Atiku:

1. He is a 75 years old man! SEVENTY-FIVE. Let that sink. If we are concerned about Tinubu’s age, we should be more concerned about Atiku’s.

2. Atiku is a Fulani man. How can we have two Fulani presidents back -to -back in a multi- ethnic country? How can we be so foolish to help affirm the Fulani born- to-rule mentality?
And with a Fulani man in power, do you think the menace of Fulani herdsmen will stop ? To have a cue, look at all the Fulani governors and see how many of them support their Fulani brothers from foreign lands, who are invading villages and kidnapping on our highways. Once they sack villages and settle on people’s homeland , their governors would appoint emirs for them. It’d be more of the same, because a Fulani man always supports his own.

3. Atiku has been clamoring to be president since the days of Obasanjo. How can we forget so easily that anyone who is too desperate to become president should be treated with utmost suspicion; how can we forget the Buhari experience so easily? Buhari had been wanting to be president since 2003, we all know what became of him.

4. Atiku has been in the corridors of power for as long as I can remember. He has a track record. My brothers and sisters, I’m not going to sit here and judge him, but take a look at his record for yourselves.
5. Key positions in Nigeria has been occupied by Northerners for as long as I can remember (even in the days of Obj- customs, ports, FCT minister,
etc), if you think this will change with Atiku, go and check your head very well .
Those guys see the rest of us as inferior, even though we are responsible for the vast human and natural resources of Nigeria.

I know Tinubu is not a saint and I’m by no means a fan of Tinubu, but considering what we are going through as a country right now - the ethnic and religious jingoism, the Northern superiority complex, the nepotism, the incompetence of officials (who are mostly from a region), the injustice, and the crumbling fabric of national unity, we need to rally behind any candidate from the South. I hope this Southern candidate is not Tinubu. But if he turns out to be Tinubu, I’d hold my nose and vote for him over Atiku anytime any day.
If you do the same thing and expect a different result, you are downright crazy. Atiku, like Buhari his brother, favours Northern Nigerians over the rest of us . And Fulani herdsmen will have a 16 -year uninterrupted period to kill our people, seize our lands and destroy our farms .
I’m by no means a tribalist. I used to be for one Nigeria, but I’ve seen that it’s scam ( at least in the mind of the North). The North never sees Nigeria as one. For them, Nigeria belongs to the North. But they won’t let us break into two, because they have Nothing ( landlocked, poor in human and natural resources etc). I’m sure if the North had half the resources that we have in the South, they would have broken up into their own country. They leech on the South and they want to “rule” us, destroy our environment and loot our resources. We need to be aware of this sad reality that Buhari has opened our eyes to. Buhari has exposed the mindset of the average Northerner, but we in the South are too busy chasing shadows to understand how the Northerners think. Be smart! Shine your eyes! Stay woke!

Who's winning, Ukraine or Russia?
In times like this, it helps me to look back to get perspective.

In 1989, there were the Tiananmen demonstrations in Beijing, where students called for western-style freedom and democracy, and urged Deng Xiaoping and the Chinese Communist Party to relinquish power.

The most famous image from that time is the image of tank man, the individual who became a symbol for so many people in the west of the desire among ordinary Chinese for freedom and democracy.

The whole world outside China sided with this one individual. Following the events of June 4, sanctions were imposed on the Chinese government; some of these are still in place, such as the US and EU arms embargoes against the Chinese government. For years, the Chinese economy slowed down. Deng Xiaoping called on Chinese to continue to go about their lives. In 1992, he visited southern China and Shenzhen to encourage business and trade with the rest of the world. Slowly, the economy picked up. Today, China has the largest economy in the world.

Who won: the Western media and western values of freedom and democracy? Or was it the Chinese Communist Party?

I would say that it was the Chinese Communist Party which rode out all the criticism and embargoes coming from all directions, and got on with the business of modernizing China. The people who made the most noise and predicted its downfall lost.

In 2019, there were severe demonstrations and arson in Hong Kong, with many of Hong Kong’s youth calling for Hong Kong to become independent of China, or even becoming a British colony again. They repudiated their own Chinese heritage, and fully embraced Western values of freedom and democracy, and called on the US government to intervene on their behalf. Western non-government organizations (NGOs) gave financial support to these demonstrators which made it difficult for many people to go to work. The Hong Kong government was helpless in dealing with the demonstrations.

The Western media again embraced these Hong Kong demonstrators as a symbol for how the people of Hong Kong and ordinary Chinese wanted freedom and democracy so that they could elect their own political leaders, just as they are elected in the west.

The Chinese government in Beijing passed a National Security Law for Hong Kong; the Hong Kong government had been unable to pass this since Hong Kong was returned to the PRC in 1997 because of local opposition. With the passage of the National Security Law, Beijing was able to send security personnel to Hong Kong to provide support to the Hong Kong police in apprehending demonstrators, and in putting the leaders on trial.

Today, in 2022, there are no more demonstrations in Hong Kong, and people are able to commute to their daily jobs without fear. The National Security Law has made clear that calling for overseas support against the Chinese government is illegal. Some Hong Kong people who do not like this law are emigrating to western countries. But the majority of people in HK have chosen to stay, and are just quietly getting on with their lives.

Most people in the Western media have forgotten about these Hong Kong demonstrations, because now they are focused on what is happening in Ukraine.

Here are the lessons I have learned, and how I apply them to the Russia/Ukraine dispute:

Issues are complicated, and most people don’t have the patience to understand all the contributing factors. Instead they embrace their own emotions and images. But often these are not real, because politics and international relations are about raw power, not emotions.
The stronger the initial reaction, the more quickly it is forgotten. People have short attention spans, and they are getting shorter;
Sanctions work until the nations and companies applying the sanctions review their profit and loss statements at the end of the quarter. Then they start wondering;
The western media has a stranglehold on western audiences because they like to focus on human interest stories with victims. How can anyone not sympathize with a Ukraine mother who loses her 9 year-old daughter who was shot by a Russian soldier? Doesn’t that show how evil Putin is? What more needs to be discussed?
The people and politicians who win in the end are the ones who take the long view and can ride out a tough situation, and don’t let the media frenzy distract them. Who was in charge in China in 1989? The Chinese Communist Party. Who is in charge in China in 2022? The Chinese Communist Party. I am not saying that they are good or bad, but they certainly know how to ride out a tough situation without getting distracted by western media noise.
Putin was a KGB colonel stationed in East Germany when the Berlin Wall came down. He has ruled Russia after the collapse of the USSR, and when it went through a decade of chaos before it gradually rebuilt its economy and society. Setting aside what you think of him personally, he is a tough person who has seen a lot more than any other western politician, and has had to survive these challenges.

China’s Xi Jinping is also a tough character; he was sent to a village for seven years where he had to clean latrines, among other tasks, for seven years. Do you know any western politicians or media personalities who had to do this? I don’t.

I believe that the close personal bond between Putin and Xi is based on the fact that both have had to deal with huge personal challenges, and they came out winning in the end. They understand that patience wins in the end, not what other people, especially the western media, say about them.

Right now, Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy is doing all he can to stay in front of the western media and win sympathy for Ukraine. Most in the west denounce Putin for his policy, and he is largely staying out of public view. Most people in the West are convinced that Putin is insane.

Putin is toughing things out, while western governments and the media are trying to land a knockout blow against Russia.

But Russia has had to deal with very tough situations before, and they came out as winners, just as the Chinese Communist Party has in China.

If my observations about China apply, Putin will come out the winner in the end, even though he will suffer in the short-term and will never be accepted in the West. But that doesn’t matter, because in the end, it is what Russians think of him which is most important.
This is insightful and I get the angle you’re coming from. I agree that Putin and XI are tougher and more experienced actors than their peers.
However, comparing the Chinese situation or clampdown and the Russian aggression is like comparing apples and oranges.
First, the Chinese communist party fought internal rebellion (more or less like an internal clash of values ), so the issue of national sovereignty did not arise as much. The Russians have been fighting internal dissent for years in a similar fashion to the Chinese and they’ve pretty much gotten away with it. But this case is totally different; It’s the case of Russia attacking a sovereign nation and killing her civilians. To help you see how this is different, even countries that have always been neutral have taken a stand and are even sending lethal aids to Ukraine. Germany of all countries sent weapons. This is an existential threat to surrounding nations and they recognize it as such. For instance, Germany, pacifist for more than half a century, has immediately increased her defense budget and started undertaking an overhaul of her military. Also, hitherto neutral countries like Finland and Sweden have started contemplating the idea of joining NATO.
Yes, Europeans depend on Russia for energy and their economies are intertwined, but they’ve also started exploring ways of being less dependent on Russia. There is going to be massive changes in policy in Europe and America after this act of aggression. The white man can easily forget the plight of people in far away Middle East and Asia and Africa, but they won’t easily forget the specter of seeing their fellow Europeans with “blue eyes” and “blonde hairs” being turned into refugees by this act of aggression. This hits differently with them and they are already lamenting this.
Second, Russia will lose this war with regard to their strategic objective. They may bring down Zelensky and overthrow his government, but they will NEVER be able to capture or occupy Ukraine forever. If they install a puppet leader, they will never be able to win the Guerrilla warfare that will ensue. Remember, the Ukrainians a few years ago, brought down their previous Putin-puppet president - Yanukovych. The Ukrainians will fight any Putin installed regime with the last drop of their blood. Moreover, Ukraine, like most countries of the Eastern bloc, will never accept closer ties with Russia over ties with the West. If there was a slight chance of this happening, Putin has finally buried that chance. Overtime, the Russia economy will totally collapse from fighting the resistance of the Ukrainians and from the crippling sanctions. It costs a lot to wage a war! They can’t even sustain this war for a month without taking a substantial economic hit, let alone for years.
Third, this war is not even that popular in Russia. There have been credible reports that some of the soldiers sent to Ukraine didn’t even want to fight. Also, there are domestic protests against this war and Russia is trying hard to deprive her citizens of the full information about the affairs, because they know it’s not popular. It is not sustainable for a nation to engage in a war that is unpopular among her own people. Even those on the fence will turn against Putin when their economic situation deteriorates(as it’s beginning to) or when they see the blood shed perpetrated by their government or when their sons (the soldiers) begin to come home in body bags or when they are isolated from the rest of the world. This may lead to a popular uprising against Putin and it may be the beginning of the end for him.
Putin made a big mistake and miscalculation, and in the end, he will pay for it. Russia will never remain the same; Ukraine of course will never remain the same; Europe at large will never remain the same.
Trust me, they’d be lasting consequences from this war. Some will come naturally and others will come as a result of intentional policy shifts and a fundamental change in mindset among Europeans.

You’re comparing apples and oranges.
First, the Israeli-Arab war was kind of like a war for survival and it was higher popular in Israel, morale of the army was high. You can’t say such about this Putin inspired war. This war is not even popular among the Russians; the military was deceived, many of them don’t even want to fight and the morale is very low.
Also, Russia tries hard to keep to the rules of engagement, same cannot be said of the ruthless Israeli army.
Third, the whole world is against Russia. The whole world wasn’t against Israel. Israel had the backing of wild major powers.
Fourth, sanctions are strangling Russia at the moment, there was not major sanction against Israel.
But I agree with you that the military might of countries is sometimes hyped. And this hype and projection of strength is a good defense strategy to keep enemies at bay.

KingEverest:
shocked this war has really exposed the Russian military, their tech isn't state of the art, their planning for logistics during combat is poor, economy is weak. The only tin keeping them as world power is if the vast amount and number of amunitions, planes, warships add nuclear war head they have accumulated over decades
Even the so called vast number of ammunitions and planes and warships may turn out to be inefficient, if God forbid, they have to use it.
Those things require constant maintenance and it costs tons of money. You never know how much they deteriorate over time until you have to use them. It’s the same for all the countries. Most countries live on hype and reputation (and that is a good defense strategy).

The governors are not serious-they are the most clueless sets of people in Naija.

They are lawless in many things, including trampling on the constitution (e.g local government autonomy) when it favors them, but when it comes to working for the people, they’d point to the limitations of the constitution to cover up their laziness and cluelessness.
With or without that law, Abuja would not even stop any state that has the wherewithal to generate power. If private individuals illegally run refineries for their own benefit and nothing is happening to them, a whole state government can damn Abuja and generate power for her citizens. Let Abuja do their worst (but I’m sure they won’t even oppose it). Our governors are just lazy and clueless !
Foreign AffairsRe: Russian Missile Strikes On Kharkiv Central Freedom Square, Residential District by d142475: 4:37pm On Mar 01, 2022
NATO is a defense alliance and not an offense alliance. Without NATO, Russia would have overrun and annexed the countries of the former Eastern Bloc in a bid to re-establish the Soviet Union. Putin is pained; he holds a grudge of history against the West for the fall of the USSR, which he calls the greatest geo-political tragedy of the 20th century.
No, the US or the West is not prodding Ukraine to be against Russia- the Ukrainians themselves, like most of the countries of the former Eastern bloc, favor close ties with the West over Russia. The Ukrainians, like every people, have the right to determine whom they associate with. But Russia is not having it. Putin is paranoic about NATO, but NATO is never going to provoke Russia into a war- it exists to deter the Russian bully machinery. Russia wanted a permanent guranatee that Ukraine will not join NATO, but neither the West nor Ukraine was willing to give him that. Maybe they should have just agreed and signed whatever agreement and went ahead to do what was in their minds anyway. That’s the only fault I found with the West or Ukraine. But again, they are not obligated to follow the wish of a wanna-be emperor of a fallen empire.
Make no mistake about this, neither the US nor Europe nor Ukraine is responsible for this war.
Vladimir Purim’s Russia alone is responsible for this unprovoked assault on a sovereign nation.

And you believe that.
You’d be shocked bro. The fact is military might is about perception. You only project your power and create fear, but nobody will truly know until war comes
This war has exposed some minor cracks in Russian military- logistical challenges, vehicle breakdowns, longer than anticipated timelines-etc.
Bro, you never know until the real war begins. The best thing nations do is to keep other nations guessing or in the dark- like the the principle of strategic ambiguity of Israel or North Korea . Nobody can truly judge how powerful or well drilled an army outside a situation of war.

Will Kano State pay for each crate of bear destroyed by Hishbah? These governors of the South are slaves to the North and they have enslaved their people as well.

Sensational headline from media house hungry for traffic, you think google is the only one with coordinates, what happened to the good old compass
Except that these new age soldiers are not as well trained. Don’t be deceived by the mirage and the gra gra. Reports have it that some of the Russian soldiers weren’t even informed they were going to Ukraine or even told if they true extent of the mission. At least a captured young Russian soldier confined this. They just follow command.

Complete Sports was a weekly staple of mine as young boy. The paper was delivered to vendors in my hometown every Friday afternoon. I waited eagerly along with other sports enthusiasts to purchase this paper. I saved up to purchase this and I took pride in my “collections”. Complete Sports provided the information I needed about football generally; I waited to read Complete Sports to know which player was being bought and which was leaving my favorite club (Arsenal at the time). Complete Sports made me love Sport journalism. In secondary school, I wrote the Sports News for our Monday assembly, thanks to Complete Sports.
You made an impact on thousands of Sport enthusiasts long before the era of internet.
May your soul Rest In Peace.
