Wow! They are changing the parameters for calculating unemployment hahaha. You have to give it to this administration. They sure are creative.

Mr Freeman alleged, “Iran’s leaders are also working to destabilise Western Africa, including here in Nigeria.’’

Sir, can you please explain how they are trying to destabilize Nigeria. You just made a strong claim without backing it up with evidence.

Brendaniel:
So why won't America leave them alone and remove all the sanctions ?

Another point I want to make is that if this war was all about NATO then he should have invaded his neighbors who have all joined NATO like Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and recently Norway and finland. Also, if this where about strictly NATO then he should pull out of Ukraine with guarantees that Ukraine won't join NATO but you know Putin, he won't.

Interesting.

flyinnizam:
Ukraine remains a sovereign state just like Nigeria and Ghana....can't u see how Niger kicked France out of Niger? why didn't france attack Niger...Putin is a bully but Ukraine allies will teach him a lesson. let the war continues..no negotiations, we go kw who go tire by d time ukraine starts attacking d main cities of russia, now in kurst and advancing

My brother, it seems that Russia did not learn there lesson from their failed adventures in Afghanistan in the 1980's and they want repeat the same thing.

The thing with bullies is that they only respect force and action like Afghanistan showed them (and Finland back in 1939). If you dont fight back they will keep attacking you.

Brendaniel:
So why won't America leave them alone and remove all the sanctions ?

My brother, it's mostly because of politics o. The Cuban and Cuban American community is a very significant voting bloc in this country (especially in a key battleground state like florida) and they mostly always vote for the party that is very against the communist regime in Cuba.
Remember that a lot of these people where the guys or the descendants of the guys that fled the island of Cuba because of Castro so they tend to want the regime to be punished and for the communist govt to collapse. Something they have been looking forward to since the 60's. That's why despite the fact that the cold war has been over since the early 90's, the US still sticks with this failed policy against Cuba smh.
So as you see it's mostly about politics than hegemony (domination) or land grabbing with the US.

Brendaniel:
Let them do it first and see the reaction of America or why do you think Cuba is suffering with many sanctions from America even though they haven't done half of what Ukraine is doing with America....

Uhm, first of all the cold war is over.
Secondly, Cuba has not been invaded by the US. Big difference. Sanctions are different from invasion.
Thirdly, Cuba is also poor because it doesnt embrace the free market capitalism. They are still stuck on communism that doesn't work.

Brendaniel:
The question you should also be asking is would USA give Mexico breathing space if they invited Russia to have military base and even start building nuclear research facility inside Mexico ?

If you can answer this then I don't need to answer your second question

Uhm, Mexico is a sovereign nation and they can do what they want.

TJOS:
The sooner the federal government realizes that the IMF prioritizes its own interests, the better it will be for all Nigerians. You can't rely on a loan shark to teach you how to save.

My brother that's why they say the borrower is a slave to the lender.

Brendaniel:
And you really think the way Ukraine is handling it is better?

Look at what Ukraine has turned to today, look No world power will want any country close to it fraternizing with a supposed enemy not even America...

What I believe Putin really wants is just that allegiance to Russia...

Bros, how can you be telling your neighbor who he can invite into his house or not. Are you his landlord?

Brendaniel:
This was what I was expecting the Ukraine president to do before that war started...

Sincerely ask yourself, what is America doing in Ukraine ?

what are they building ammunitions there for?


If it is not to cause wahala with Russia, Ukraine president should have gone and negotiated with Putin, wihdraw all America troops and weapons from Ukraine and tell him that Ukraine is in support of Russia.


If he did this, most likely that war may have never happened...

The first question we should be asking is what is Russia doing in Ukraine in the first place? I thought the era of land grabbing was over? Abi, did I miss something? I mean Russia is already the largest nation by landmass, yet they still want more.

Wow! How time flies. During his time as secretary. Sec. Blinken oversaw the pull out of troops from Afghanistan. The war in Ukraine and the war between Israel and Gaza.

paulolee:

The man knows more economics than most people in Nigeria. The solution is to auction off the refineries instead of continuing to sink money into them. In addition, they should also allow anyone who wants to open a refinery to do so. That way you drive down prices of oil. If we truly became a free market economy Nigeria will truly prosper.

RealLordZeus:
How they calculate this inflation rate is left to the economists

How will rice went from 20k to 100k and you are giving 33%

Google how to calculate inflation. There are multiple sites on it. You can also google how to calculate consumer price index my brother.

cococandy:
That’s the problem with electing a man like Trump. We’re left to hope that he or his appointees don’t do something that risks our lives and the lives of the children.

That’s not the quality of a leader. A leader is someone we can trust to be level headed, make good decisions and follow scientifically proven principles.

BTW every dangerous executive order he signs or bill his Republican colleagues pass will be something they already said they were going to do. And people refused to listen when they were told not to support them. “Oh he’s just saying that. He doesn’t mean it that way”. The next moment they’re saying “he speaks his mind and tells it like it is”.

He’s either a man of his words or he’s just a joker who we shouldn’t take seriously. It can’t be both.

I’m going to go with he’s a man of his words. And his words are dangerous for the future of America.

Yep. Elections have consequences.

Flamemignon1:
Oga leave this fools. Let's just watch them with rapt attention wallow in their ignorance. I just dey laugh as I dey here, the same RFK that's an heroin addict that even his own family don't like, the same RFK that's in the conspiracy theory nuthouse, I just dey here dey laugh

There are so many conspiracy theorists on this site and these are the same sort of people who tend to be Trump followers.

smokinloud:
In a democratic state, diverse perspectives are encouraged, and protests don't necessarily imply that an idea is flawed. Democracy thrives on the exchange of different ideas and viewpoints.

Please tell them.

Rantingpiglets:
He resigned from where...and why are they keeping the report? Is he the President that has immunity? ....NO.

Release the darn report and shame him. If not be ready for the greatest swMp purge in the history of the WORLD.

Your WOKENESS nonsense with foolish liberal stupidity won't work this time.

America will be prosperous
America will be great again
Patriots that love the country and free world are behind Trump.

Your smug reasoning shoud be in the underground tunnels in California, where reptilian shapeshifers and foolish slave reside. In the free world WOKENESS is DEAD.

Nonsense

Dude, it's common news. Just do a quick google search; Gaetz resigns from Congress or house ethics investigation on Matt Gaetz.

Rantingpiglets:
Was he convicted!

You claim he committed crimes and he couldn't be jailed before his nomination and subsequent winning of the election?

You guys are pathetic and to imagine that you actually believe the Nonsense you spew off your head is pathetic.

Bidens son was indicted for leaking state secrets and taking bribes. His father JOE initially denied it. Now it has been proven to be true. Where is the fvvvcking DOJ? Is Bidens son under immunity?

Just understand that NOBODY buys your inconsequential rants. The way TRUMP was voted for shows that the American People overwhelmingly are disgusted with your foolish WOKENESS.

How can a man use Tampoons
Why will a man deny his sexuality to compete or change clothes in a female space?
How can the border be opened for mass ILLEGAL migration?
America is a Nation built on the principles of the Holy Bible. That is undeniable and factual. Even the worthless GAYISH Muslim terrorist called OBAMA , placed his hands on the Bible when he was sworn in as President.

America is the LORDs ..

Foolish WOKENESS of SATANISM will not stand.

You guys think you are smart...You ain't. You are just stupid

You talked about arguing and making points? The pertinent question is this...

Do you actually have COMMON SENSE?

What in the world does this have to do with religion? Like I said, you do not know how to argue. You bring your personal biases and insults and go off on a tangent about homosexuals instead of addressing my point. Fact is Matthew Gaetz whether you liked it or not was investigated by the FBI for xes trafficking and xes with a minor. Fact is that the House is also doing there own investigation which is why he resigned; to escape the report being released. Yelling and typing in caps and talking about Biden and wokes does not discount any of the facts I stated above. They are clear and unequivocal no matter how much you yell and ramble on and on.

Rantingpiglets:
CNN feeds you baloney and you believe them.

Matt Gaetz will purge the DOJ and other agencies of foolishly WOKE idiots that practice identity politics instead of competence.

Jack Smith has been sacked
Lettica James will be dealt with


The same FBI demanded a $25 Million bribe after accusing him wrongly.

Trump now appointed him to clear the politicized DOJ and you are here ranting foolishly based on fake news from CNN and the compromised establishments?

MSNBC is for sale already
CNN is sacking Political hacks
Washington DC has witnessed resignations and potential drop in home prices, because all the politically woke Government employees are leaving in droves.

These are people that know a real Sheriff is in town.

Not a CNN educated nitwit like Tinubu and BUHARI supporters.

Dude, a lot of your points are wrong but what's if worse is that you didn't address any of the things I said. You just went on a different tangent talking about Buhari and Tinubu, people unrelated to anything I said at all. Do you even know how to argue at all? When someone makes a point, you counter it by saying whether it's true or not. Then you say why or why not. You don't go talking about other people that have nothing to do with your argument. The truth is that Matt Gaetz was under investigation by the FBI for having xes with an underage girl and for trafficking and he was under investigation by the House of Representatives. In fact, the House was going to announce their findings today about their investigations but should do that reportedly in a weeks time. This are facts and not something debatable.
So of course, I won't be shocked if Matt Gaetz uses his position to fire those that investigated him for the acts he committed duh. I won't expect anything else.

Jman06:
You see how sensible nations choose their ministers of health They don't restrict it to medical doctors but choose seasoned politicians who will now galvanize the various professional groups in health to deliver wholesome healthcare!

If it were in Nigeria, they'll restrict the appointment to medical doctors who then connive with their professional pressure group, the NMA, to fight other healthcare professionals and at the end our healthcare is left in comatose state after government has wasted tax payers money in the sector!

Thank God for the current minister of health who is level-headed having gained exposures in international healthcare administration. The world bank really did us a favor by giving us professor Pate. Even when bigoted mediocres like Tunji Alausa wanted to truncate the status quo by usurping the roles of professional regulatory bodies in the sector through his proposal to establish a so called health facilities regulatory agency, prof Pate stood for the truth which is that there are no where in the world where medical doctors regulate other health professionals the way bigots like Tunji Alausa wanted.

Bros, its funny when Nigerians think that you must have a degree in a field to be able to run a ministry in that particular area. All you need is to surround yourself with experts in that area and make good policies. That's how things work in that part of the world. The fact that you are medical doctor does not mean you know how to run a ministry of health for goodness sakes. The same goes for other ministries. You just need to be someone who knows how to manage and run an organization and minister effectively irrespective of his background. Simple as that.

ogmask:
Stop listening to CNN you will be alright. All the "round pegs in round holes" biden appointed how far? Una too talk yet see as Nigeria be today. Suddenly Una don dey see fault. Matt go show democrats pepper make he just pass the senate huddle first. Now that we know the vaccines na scams what do you say to Biden and the Dems. What about the role of big pharma and the poisoning of food currently going on around the world. Trump said he will pull out of WHO and rightfully so. He should pull out on his first day at the oval office. Una go cry tire.

Wait, you mean Matt Gaetz, who was under investigation for having xes trafficking and with minors by the FBI, the same agency he might be overseeing if he is confirmed as Attorney General since the FBI is under the Department of Justice and who was also under investigation by the House of Representatives ethics committee for sexual misconduct and drug use? Even some of his fellow Republican colleagues don't even think he will scale through the nomination. Heck, the man had to resign from the House just so that the investigation will stop and here you are cheering him on haha but like they say elections have consequences.
Also, if you say vaccines are scams then I don't know what else to tell you because vaccines have been very, very effective in improving the lives of people. I don't know of too many tools that has been created and that saved so many lives than vaccines. If you know please name me one. I am sure both of us are too young to remember people becoming crippled and loosing their ability to walk because of polio or people becoming deaf as a result of measles and don't even get me started with the ultimate killer disease; small pox that killed soooooo many people history until a vaccine was discovered.
Bros, I am sorry but the data is clear. Vaccine has been pivotal in saving lives despite the misinformation from the internet these days. They are probably the greatest public health tool ever invented. It's too bad that there are nominating someone who is against this are the new Secretary (Minister) of Health.

This man still dry office? Wow!

cococandy:
Nairaland is really a den of ignorant people

This man wants to pause funding on infectious diseases for 8 years. 8 years! So while the rest of the world is making progress in infectious diseases control, America will be sliding back to the stone ages with children going back to being sick with polio, small pox and the likes. Stuff that we already eradicated as a first world country.

And cherry on the cake, he’s an anti vax nut case

God help you all. Such a collection of brainless idiots

The man nominated someone who has been accused of being a foreign agent as overseer of all the Intelligence agencies (Director of National Intelligence). Appointed a TV host to be minister of Defense, Matthew Gaetz of all people as attorney General of the Republic and now this man in charge of Public Health.

Who didn't see this one coming right from election night?

Poisonousman:
You see.. when the election is free and fair... this is what you will see.. but in Nigeria .. them dey use electoral body.. police and everything to win elections.. why the other candidates no go wan revolt

Yeah, its because elections are left to the States over there as opposed to ours where it is done by the fed govt.

jaxxy:
Democracy starts from free and fair elections. without that u are practicing rubbish. Criminals in power who are not accountable to the people and who don't care what the people think... Aka Bastard leaders

You are right. Democracy is not all about free and fair elections. It's also about checks and balances-everybody watching each other to make sure the other is not misbehaving.

Ayoefa:
Trump is picking all the right wing lunatics.
All the minorities that voted and campaign for Trump, una go regret am very soon.
The convicted felon is picking all the people that will lick his ass and say yes to whatever he wants.
America is slowly losing her glory.

The man just hired Matt Gaetz of all people to be Attorney General. Like for real, you cant be making it up.

Ofodirinwa:
ironically there's strong evidence to show that Tulsi is a spy, but specifically a russian one.

Either way, why is this on the front page?

Bro, I was about to comment on the same thing. She is an ally of Russia and even Bashar Al Assad. that butchered its people. She sure loves her dictators that's for sure.

That's pretty odd.

Lifestylecom:
Subject to debate though

That one is not subject to debate my brother. In a parliamentary system, you vote for the party and not the presidential (or prime ministerial candidate in this situation). Its the party that then wins the most seat in the house (remember there is no Senate in this system, just a house of lords that is mostly ceremonial) that picks the prime minister and I do t know when APC has had more seats in the house than other parties during election season. If there has been please correct me.
Also, let's say Buhari even became Prime Minister in our hypothetical parliamentary system, I doubt he would have served his full 8 years as parliamentary systems are notorious for kicking out their leaders for almost any missteps either through a party vote (vote of confidence or no confidence) or calling for general elections at almost anytime as they get the votes for that. Just look at the UK. how many heads of states have they had in the past three years alone?
