It's either both are lying or one is lying. But I think both are lying until they provide evidence to Nigerians & possibly at the tribunal. For me I walk with facts not emotions. Obi has promised to prove he won, I will be so happy if he does that.

Nwodosis:
And not both, since both of them are not lying, then there's hope that the winner is one of them and not Tinubu.

It's either both are lying or one is lying. But I think both are lying until they provide evidence to Nigerians & possibly at the tribunal. For me I walk with facts not emotions. Obi has promised to prove he won, I will be so happy if he does that.

Fighter2029:
Obviously,one of them is right,APC introduced scam and daylight robbery into Nigeria politics,they started with the criminal in Imo state government house and now they want to scam over 200 million people, unfortunately the scam has become a painful bone in their neck,they won't swallow it and by the time the dust settles and Obi reclaims his rightful mandate,the likes of Yakobo will tell Nigerians what he used over 400 billion Naira meant for preparation and conduction of election for,The drug Barron equally has a huge number of criminal charges against him to answer.

It's either both are lying or one is lying. However, I think both are lying until they provide evidence to the contrary.

Fahdiga:
But Funsho Williams killer is walking free and even forcing himself on Nigerians through rigging.

No sane person takes FFK serious.

Fahdiga:
Tinubu forced himself on Nigerians.

U too force urself on Nigerians if it's easy.

Massiveglory:
Tinubu is not the choice of the majority of Nigerians who voted.

He is the choice of the fraudulent officials in INEC and Fraudulent politicians , who conspired to bring about a monumental fraud in Nigeria.

Nevertheless, Tinubu will not be President of Nigeria .
We are taking back our vote. We are taking back Nigeria.

In ur dream. Better accept reality and wait for another day.

Dpharisee:
Trust the words of western leaders at your own peril, deception is used during conflicts to get the better of your opponent, unlike Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein we can hear directly from Putin because Russia also invested heavily in English international media which is why all the sanctions against Russia are failing, it's no longer a one sided narration by CNN or BBC, I can go to RT.COM to get the Russian version of any story

No sane person uses RT as true source of information. It's mostly propaganda u get

Ciprofloxacin actually treat most of the symptoms you are experiencing

Don't mention names of drugs. It's better to encourage people to see their doctor when they have medical issues.

Exmilitant:
Corruption?
Yardua tried and lost his life.
Jonathan tried and nearly lost his life.
Buhari tried and nearly lost his life.
Let's see the type of magic this one will employ to stop corruption if he maybe wins.

Are you kidding? Jonathan didn't try., rather he put body, spirit & soul in corruption. By the way, he didn't nearly die. I don't know how u got ur news.
Yaradua & Bubu were already sick before assuming power and they only paid lip service, never really interested in fighting corruption due to political considerations.

Masterviolence:
They're called the biggest nuclear power for a reason.

It's even doubtful if they are fully functional. Given Russian weapon failure rate, it wouldn't be surprising if those nuclear weapons crash inside Russia if they try to launch them.

owobokiri:
The more reason why Nigerians should be very careful in terms of who they will vote for as the president next time. Always always be careful of candidates that constantly prioritize their loyalties to the western world more than Nigeria

All these people going to meet westerners in Washington and London before every elections are the ones responsible for this. They have traded off the country for political support to be president

It's the main policy of the imperial Western world to dubiously budden developing states with excruciating loans in other to turn the people into slaves in their own land.

As it stands today, Nigerians are working for the Western world through the interest payments on the dubious loans obtained from different western financial institutions by Evil government imposed on us by Obama and Cameron!

Remember their support for Buhari? Buhari has payed back through the loans but we are all bleeped now!

Typical lazy man mentality. Always blaming others for their misfortunes.

Guyman01:
Western media manipulation copied verbatim by Saha-ara reporters. That guy has been a Long term Kremlin ally hated by the West which has tried to depose their government severally.

This story is like the claim in western media that Russia bombed it's own multi billion dollars gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 in Denmark and Sweden where US has bases despite Biden openly threatening that the pipeline will not be allowed to operate or the claim that Qatar abuses migrant workers even though the companies which got most of the contracts to build the stadiums are western owned and no one in western media is naming and shaming them.

When events like this occurs, the first question any reasonable person will ask himself is Who Will Gain From This?
Therefore, if we are to suspect that this is an assassination the most likely suspects will be the British MI6 or CIA.


Sorry sir, I can feel your pain over what I wrote, but I can't argue with people whose only source of foreign news is CNN which their GOTV subscription allows while they are denied access to ongoing world cup matches.

You think u know. Spewing garbage and insults to please Putin �

BentizilL:
How's their ground force questionable??
You're sounding like a kid, I'm not sorry for that...

Is US and NATO ground forces questionable when they ran away from Afghanistan?
Is US ground forces questionable when they ran away from Vietnam after 20 years..
US outing in Vietnam is the most humiliating in recent history of among the superpowers..

US had to ran away from untrained farmer after suffering over 300k casualties ( we all know it's higher) and 20 years... Don't forget South Vietnam already had a standalone army of over 850k... US ran away because of North Vietnam, a country whose size is comparable with the size of land Russia has occupied in Ukraine.

SMH

Ur grammar or writing says alot about ur understanding and knowledge of world events. There's no point arguing or lecturing you, waste of time.

Dvdpity:
Russia fear isreali might?
Illiteracy is bad.

Ignorance is a disease.

seunny4lif:
Israeli military refused to armed Ukraine because of Russia, if you don't know. Russia is the only reason Israel have been able to strike Syria any time due to the agreement between the 2 nations and that's also the reason Russia blocked Syria government offense on South Syria because that Israel border, meaning Iran advisers will be on Israel border.

Get your information right
USA never killed any Russia troops, No Russia troops in the eastern bank of the Euphrates Syria in 2017/ 2018 due to deescalation line between USA and Russia since 2017.
Wagner Group are not Russia troops.
The closest USA and Russia came close was in Northern Syria when USA withdrew from N. Syria due to Turkey planned attack on Kurd.

Over 30 Turkish troops lost their lives to Russia airstrikes on their base but we all know how Turkey shift the blame to Syria government, as they can't face Russia.

There is no agreement anywhere between Russia and Israel. Russia respects and fears Israel military might. Simple. Read about Israel Egypt war 1979, then Egypt was an ally of Russia hosting USSR military advisers and contractors, Israel virtually slaughtered the Egyptian army, infact USSR threatened to use Nuclear weapons if Israel didn't stop. After the war Egypt kicked out the USSR from their country and allied with America. It's a long story u can read Abt it on the internet.
U claimed that the Wagner troops are not Russia troops, are u implying they were in Syria on their own? Or are u saying they are American troops. They are a private army of the Russian State. Simple.
You also said Turkey blame Syria for death of Turkey troops. Why didn't Russia come out and claim responsibility if they had guts, at least Turkey claimed Responsibility when it shot down Russia fighter, killing the pilot as well,
U expect America to fight a war over the mistake of either Russia or Ukraine missile that killed two farmers which the Russian MOD has flatly denied and even called a provocation.
I called u a baby for a reason.

lhordspy:
I would love to see how the toothless Nato will react.

I surely know the US will be secretly fanning and pushing all other NATO countries now to the brink of war. Cowardly rallying them to face Russia.

Ofcourse, this isnt intentional. But if NATO chooses to believe otherwise. Then they better know that Russia is ever ready.


Everybody go collect either by mistake or purposely.

You are a baby. Israel has been bombing Syria, Russia ally for years in the full glare of Russian troops stationed in Syria infact twice last week, what has Russia done about it. Nothing, only Screaming as always
Turkey shot down a Russia jet close to Turkey airbase in 2015, what did Russia do to Turkey, nothing other than angry statement.
US killed several bombed and killed several Russia troops in Syria in 2016 or 17, Russia did nothing other than express displeasure.

Horokrox:
Clown! I gave you facts about the percentage of Lend Lease (15%) given by the USA to Russia (Soviet Union) as pertaining to supplies of armoured vehicles (tanks, etc) and aircraft compared to Russian (Soviet) production of armoured vehicles and aircraft but a nitwit like you is unable to grasp historical facts beyond your mental capabilities even though your beloved USA led West is the superlative description of Overratedness

I Kno ur problem. Russia is being chased away from Russia soil (I am sure u Kno Khenson is Russia's). Don't worry, don't cry o. Very soon, the almighty Russia with their assorted array of weapons and hypersonic, including nukes, will over run Ukraine, Kiev will not be spared. Two weeks is too much. Russia soldiers are the best in the world. Ukraine is just a 3 rated fighting force that can never withstand the almighty Russia army.
Russian is winning big ok. Wipe ur tears, don't mind those pro-Ukraine Nairalanders, they have been brainwashed by Western propaganda.

DerrickzB:
If not for bias and ur prejudice towards Russia, you’d be able to differentiate between withdrawal and retreating!!! And ur ukrops are already being hammers by air strikes!! They would leave that Kherson and run!!

Pls tell us the difference. Russia MOD said they pulled out to avoid DEATH OF THEIR SOLDIERS in Khenson by the attacking UKRAINIAN Soldiers
An average intelligent person should be able to understand that they ran away for fear of being killed and over run.
It's your overhyping or overeating of the Russian army that's affecting ur ability to interpret current reality.

Horokrox:
If you weren't naturally and Congenitally Deformed you would have known that USA Lend Lease to the Soviet Union amounted to 20,000 armoured vehicles (tanks trucks,etc) and 7000 aircraft compared to those produced by the Soviet Union (100,000 tanks including T 34,T 44 and IS heavy tanks) in addition to over 80,000 aircraft manufactured in the Soviet Union in places like Kazan,etc at the end of the war so you can actually see that the Lend Lease by the USA is minimal compared to total armoured vehicles and aircraft production by the Soviet who relocated many heavy industries to the Russian Far East(Siberia,etc) to avoid Nazi occupation and finally if you know you have half baked knowledge of "history" go back to primary school

U seem to have half knowledge of history.
My advice: Read more.
One more word. Russia is grossly overrated by half knowing,
sorry all knowing ppl like you.

BentizilL:
Get your facts right, Russia is not threatening anybody with nuclear weapons.. Russia is only reminding them what's enshrined in it doctrine, US and other NATO state have their own doctrines..
Russia does not threaten people with nukes, that's US specialty.
US threaten to nuke China, the result is China getting it own nukes with the help of Soviet. The same US threaten Iran in 2003 with nuke same with Iraq..

Russia is not holy but I hate seeing the west who have done far worse telling us Russia is evil and trying to demonize the only superpower who make them shit in their pants...

Sometimes I wonder why the comonality
amongst Putin apologists is ignorance & propaganda.
U hear Putin threaten to use nukes just
like North Korea and u come here twisting facts. Well, your 'mighty' Russia is losing against small Ukraine and they mobilizing citizens to fight small Ukraine. The Russian citizen kukuma dey japa. Bro Putin & clicks afraid of defeat are threatening nukes. I pity Putin and his apologists cos if he uses nuke there will be massive retaliation.

Dalil8:
One is a Superpower, the other one needs 32 other countries to be a superpower.

There's a popular Turkish proverb that says; 'When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king. The palace becomes a circus.'

Zelensky has turned Ukraine into a circus show, trying to drag the rest of the world into a nuclear war.

You must be very dumb to refer to Russia as a superpower. Russia that can't stand Ukraine. You can as well refer to Nigeria as a superpower.
Israel is militarily superior to Russia. Check what Israel is able to do against Syria, Lebanon, Egypt etc even with Russia support.
What Russia has and is always bragging about is Nuclear weapons.
If is by having nukes, then North Korea, Pakistan, Israel etc are also superpowers by your logic

phatriqk:
Bros rest, New York richer than whole Africa, what resources does new York have or even America entirely, stop basing your fact from main stream media, I already told the only limiting factor stopping Nigeria and African countries from dominating the world map is corruption simple. Remove corruption from Nigeria and see if Nigeria doesn't surpass US in economy. US and western powers know and that is why they continue to riddle us with bad leadership.

Stop this garbage! It's good to be proud of one's county o. But bros, in which area be it economy, education, quality of life, science & technology, research/innovation, AI, etc is Nigeria better than America or Europe. We can be better some day in the future, but now, we no near even SA.
You say we should not listen to mainstream media, so we should rather listen to radio Biafra or RT or Abakadabra media in ur village. Pls mention the media we should listen to.

Qtrpst4:
Stop listening to CNN




I wonder how anyone will want to get a credible news about Russia from the US as if we have forgotten how they ran away from Afghanistan.

Continue your misinformation

So I should listen to state-owned state-control news outlet like RT(like NTA).
U have been zombified by Russian propaganda that's all I can say. Because the news of Russian humiliation in Ukraine is all over the world even in private outlets within Russian. So if u are not happy about the news, maybe u should take time off news media for a while �

The tsar suddenly might have no clothes. It has been a startling week on both sides of the Ukraine and Russia border.

What’s left of the curtain protecting the dignity of Russia’s military has been pulled back, and it’s definitely not the second mightiest in the world.

Russia’s withdrawal from around Kharkiv – a planned “regrouping” that some state media didn’t even dare mention – is arguably more significant than its earlier collapse of positions around the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. These units had been dug in for months, defending their positions effectively – as CNN witnessed during weeks spent along the arterial roads north out of Kharkiv – and were at times literally minutes drive from the Russian border.

That Moscow could not sustain a force so achingly close to its own territory speaks volumes about the real state of its supply chain and military. It is almost as if these retreating units ran back to a void, not to the nuclear power that in February expected to overrun its neighbor within 72 hours.

Secondly, Russia’s units do not appear to have effected a careful and cautious withdrawal. They ran, and left behind both armor and precious remaining supplies of ammunition. Open source intelligence website Oryx estimated that from Wednesday to Sunday, at least 338 fighter jets or tanks or trucks were left behind.

Pockets of Russian troops may remain to harass Ukrainian forces in the weeks ahead, but the nature of the frontline has irrevocably changed, as has its size. Kyiv is suddenly fighting a much smaller war now, along a greatly reduced frontline, against an enemy who also appear a lot smaller.


Indeed, Russia’s army relies now on forced mobilization and prisoners for its depleted ranks. Ukraine has been quite surgical, hitting supply routes to cut off already exhausted units, detecting which were the least prepared and manned. It’s been staggeringly effective and speedy.



Whether Ukraine’s counteroffensive becomes decisive rests on how far its forces are now able to push: Would going for even more territory risk over-stretch? Or is Ukraine facing an enemy that simply has no more fight left in it? No matter how over-hyped Russia’s forces became during the chaotic decades of America’s war on terror, a military that needs North Korean shells and St Petersburg convicts is at best down to the bare minimum strength needed to protect Russia itself.

So what next? Unless we see a remarkable reversal, Russia’s bid to take all of Donetsk and Luhansk regions is over. Kherson is still the focus of sustained Ukrainian pressure. And suddenly, a return to the borders Russia stole in 2014 does not seem far-fetched.



For months, the received wisdom was that Russia would “never let that happen.” But now Crimea looks oddly vulnerable – connected to Russia by the land corridor that runs along the Azov Sea through Mariupol’s coastline, and an exposed bridge across the Kerch Strait. What remain of Moscow’s over-extended, exhausted, poorly supplied and equipped forces deeper in Ukraine could face the same lethal encircling as did its supply chain around Kharkiv.

However far Kyiv pushes now, we’ve had a sea change in the dynamics of European security. Russia is no longer a peer to NATO.


Putin's Kharkiv disaster is his biggest challenge yet. It has left him with few options
Last week, Russia wasn’t even the peer of its NATO-armed neighbor – a power mostly in agriculture and IT as recently as December – that it has been slowly tormenting for eight years. The United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense said on Monday that elements of Russia’s First Guards Tank Army – an elite unit intended to defend Moscow from any NATO attack – had been part of the chaotic Kharkiv withdrawal. They ran.

NATO member states’ defense budgets have been slowly edging toward the suggested 2% for years. But will those billions really be needed to face an army that needed shells from Pyongyang after just six months in Ukraine?


It would also be a mistake to misinterpret the silence inside Russia – a few critical analysts, politicians and talk shows aside – as a sign of a brooding, residual strength that’s about to be unleashed. This is not a system capable of looking at itself in the mirror. The Kremlin remains quiet on these issues because it cannot face the chasm between its ambitions and rhetoric, and the scruffy, hungry mercenaries it appears to have left stranded around Kharkiv.

The fact they do not speak of their errors amplifies them. The Ferris wheel that President Vladimir Putin opened in Moscow at the weekend does not become invisible when it breaks down and cannot turn. The same can be said of the monolithic and uncompromising strength Putin tries to project: when it breaks down, it is not in private.


Ukrainian forces enter key city of Izium in a sign Kyiv's new offensive is working.
The most flagrant foreign policy errors of the last centuries have been born of hubris, but Europe faces a series of stark choices now. Do they continue to push until Russia requests a peace that leaves its neighbors safe and the energy pipelines open again? Or do they retain the old flawed logic that a humiliated, wounded bear is even more dangerous? Would a possible successor to Putin – not that we know of one – seek a detente with Europe and prioritize the Russian economy, or prove their worth in another foolhardy, hardline act of brutish militarism?


This is also a key moment for non-proliferation and nuclear might in the post-Cold War era. What does a nuclear power do when it is vulnerable and lacking in convincing conventional might? Russia faces no existential threat now: Its borders are intact, and its military only hampered by a savage misadventure of choice. But it appears close to the limits of its conventional capabilities.

It would be a telling confirmation of the theory of mutually assured destruction that has always governed the nuclear-arms age, if weapons that could end the world as we know it remain off the table. It would also add to the possibility, raised again by the full-throated support of Ukraine by the West, that the horrors of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Ukraine have not irreparably damaged the West’s moral and strategic compass, and it is still not naive to hope to see those values in action.

[quote author=mysticwarrior post=116027935]like me quickly remind you that the Russians has already used hypersonic missiles in a mild assault in Ukraine, and I expected the west to Roar but i was mystified when the US and the entire NATO couldn't even sneeze.[/quote)


Sneeze over ordinary Russia that can hardly bear small Ukraine. Abeg rest. Russia is just noisy, propaganda and braggado.

mysticwarrior:
if Putin decide to use hypersonic missiles and thermobaric weapons in large scale assault against Ukraine, kiev wound be under Russian control within days. But there would be a lot of collateral damages and Putin don't want that.

Propaganda weapons. He has already used his so. called hypersonic weapons.
Russian is not a major military power. It's their nuclear weapons they depend on abeg

Discombulator:
At least you didn't claim to be a pro, about 7200 of Ukraine soliders have surrendered or captured by Russia in less than 3 months,the Port City of mauripol which is a strategic gold mine to Link Russia troops in Donbass to the other part of Ukraine has been captured, Kherson has been liberated so is a couple dozen towns,Donbass the whole of Eastern Ukraine is 75% controlled by Russia.
The fiercest must powerful Ukraine forces the infamous Azov battalion has been totally destroyed with thousands of them surrendering to Russia.

All this accomplished against 31 countries including USA fighting Russia in Ukraine over $40b in weapons,tanks, switchblades, aircrafts,ammo etc. And still they could not stop a small faction of Russian forces.
It is your western media that is hyping up ukraine,they are resilient but totally incapable of stopping Russia.

As for Finland and NATO,they are not important,they share no history with Russia, they were not part of the Soviet union and they are not yet American puppets so if they succeed in join NATO there is no need for invasion all Russia will do is deploy nukes to Thier border for protection,those countries will have to live with nukes deployed towards them forever, that would be Thier punishment and if war breaks out between NATO they are the first to perish obviously

You didn't sound intelligent. The Donbass is a very small piece of land and Russia hasn't captured it 3 months; and in your mind Russia is winning �. U must be kidding

IgOga:
4 cities for where

Ukraine is loosing land, personnel and materiel everyday....nothing gained in this senseless war....instead of NATO to be helping Ukraine get to peace they are encouraging them to go for it until the last Ukrainian.....unfortunately ordinary Ukrainians are dying or being displaced in their own country.

So Russia is not losing personnels, not losing resources thru sanctions, losing respect etc. By the way Russia troops are moving at snail speed barely gaining territories in the last one month. U call it a senseless war, but who started this senseless war. Can you bet ur life on it that Russia would win this war?

Russia/Putin is scared of external interference in Ukraine knowing and is resorting to nuclear threat. All na mouth. Let him first defeat small Ukraine army which his incompetent and third rated army could do in over 2 months.
If he has balls let him strike countries supplying arms to Ukraine na. Empty barrel makes loud noise.

The moment the west started donating high tech defensive weapons en Masse to Ukraine, what did you expect? That said, Sure losing more than 2k troops is a tragedy for Russia. But it is what happens in a conventional warfare between two countries. When Germany attacked Poland with 2 million troops in WW2, despite their overwhelming superiority, they lost more than 59k troops within a month, and only managed to defeat Poland after 1 month and a half which even happened because the Soviet union attacked from the other side too nearly halfway into the invasion, overwhelming Poland in the process.
USA also in Vietnam faced their biggest humiliation when the Soviet union and China started donating high tech weapons to Vietnam to defend themselves with. After losing more than 60k troops, the almighty USA fled away from Vietnam with full speed with their tails in between their legs
BTW This war has just given everyone a glimpse of what actual modern warfare is. I'm having this feeling that the Era of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles (IFV) are over. The Era where tanks can overrun a stronghold is over, seeing as there are now TOW missiles that can take out a tank and its entire crew in just one hit unlike before that you use anti tank shells that would bounce off in the face of heavy armors.
All in all, Russia will NOT end up like USA in Vietnam. They will take over the entire eastern Ukraine and cut off zelensky from the black sea. Ukraine will become landlocked. The sooner the USA realizes this, stop sending weapons to Ukraine and push for diplomacy, the better. lord Putin might actually forgive them

Ur analysis is so poor & abysmal that it exposes ur half knowledge of world events .
