Oga, without nuclear weapons being used, USA will crush China within 6 months maximum. Which ICBM missile does China have that they can fire from China that will reach America? NONE....ZEROOooooo. America has dozens of military bases on surrounding countries all around China, they have Aircraft carriers, they have all kinds of heavy artillery ICBM launch pads within easy range of China and Beijing itself, they have fighter jets they can easily deploy for aerial bombings and Nuclear powered warships on the seas. They have thousands ground troops in South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and other close countries that they can deployed for combat at a short notice. A war between America and China would be fought on Chinese soil. China will NOT be able to reach American skies, with the number of int'l allies system America has put in place. The entire war will be fought in Asia and on Chinese soil. America has the military capacity, weapons capacity and financial capacity to prosecute a full blown war with China. They will bomb Beijing to dust. They already have China surrounded within their missile defense and attack range. Which military base does China have that is close to America? Do you think they call America World Police for decoration? Even Russia is boxed in and surrounded by American missiles from every corner around them. You think war is won by noise or population size. The military strategy and strategic military formations and installations America has put in place all across the world gives them a powerful edge to destroy any foreign enemy. They have AFRICOM in Africa, do you think AFRICOM is here for decoration and they will sit back and watch missiles fly over African airspace to land in America? Or do you think the NATO they have in Europe will let any hostile enemy use its airspace to fly to America without bombing it to oblivion. They have strong military presence, weapons, troops and allied countries all across the Middle-East Asia, East, West, North and South Asia. Not just anyhow allied countries, but the powerful nations in almost all regions. Saudi Arabia is an ALLY; Israel is an ALLY; the UAE are ALLIES, Japan is an ALLY, South Korea is an Ally......let me just stop here because the list will be too long. Or do you think the oceans that America controls will allow Chinese submarines free access? China is a baby when it comes to global warfare. America will defeat China so easily. FYI, it was America that defeated Hitler and Germany in WW2. Europe was conquered, Russia was almost conquered, if not for America.

It's a very simple thing check bro...alot of Nigerians here except a few just argue based on news and hear says...just type Google while America is Superpower,by air,sea,land,military bases around the world..allies..America is done with the earth..they are now in space..

ProfAmaben:
I love China's progress but they should steer clear of the US. The US can obliterate China in one fell swoop.

Chinko, don't start what you can't finish.

All the military equipment China is using today are all copy cat of the US inventions. Raptor F22 was copied into Chengdu, China should provoke the US, we have enough land to bury them.

My advice to China: Don't forget Hiroshima and Nagasaki in a hurry.

And that was then oh..who could've thought the US had such weapons...so if other countries can boast of certain military capabilities...imagine the surprise the US would have for ww3

Hiroshima & Nagasaki was arounf 1946..imagine what the US has build from them to now..

internationalman:
US should come to Nigeria airspace and fly around to spy on bokoharam activities all they want na..

Those people in Asia don't need protecting like Africa does.....

We ain't a threat to them in any way...

A popular newscaster's son died in Dubai cos of a girl

Allow people to blame Nigeria for everything..Nigerians will turn themselves to slaves abroad..at least foreign death is what they prefer...

farem:
Nigerian government this and that, even when the the boy fails his papers, you will still engage the Nigerian government.
Parents who wittingly or otherwise raise rebellious children want government to correct and reverse the consequences of their neglects.

Bro..Nigerian youths are something else..what kind of stupid mentality is that... everything, Nigerians blame it on their government.

If somebody steals in Nigeria-the blame is government, I wonder those that steal in US may be its for fun since their government is perfect..why are we so stupid in Nigeria.

We've even lost the rights to call the government accountable for what's to be done. Because, we think everything starts and ends with government..

Right here in Nigeria, Nigerians hate themselves. Why can't they be discriminated against...

Nigerians you really are too much....even if the country was like US people will still travel out and uncertainties will before them....

Everybody knows about Nigeria...How has singing blames help our lives...this same place ur complaining others are making it and living reasonable lives..

Complaints are not solutions...!

see him looking like sweet 16.....!

Nigerians have no brains, they can't invent or innovate..except for a few..what is just so special about this..next is to start casting ridiculous statements about their country comparing it with others, which is the worst form of judgement..

Nice one America...

Kestolove:
beg ur mum to show u ur real dad Cox she fvcked many men without condom

Kestolove just ignore this now...I observed everything. He started the insults. i've taken note of the guy...

EMMY76:
Nigerian politicians can go to any length to dig out out the skeletons of their political opponents. But this is actually the current position of most people in the south every reasonable person in the whole south and the middle belt is just tired of the way fulani muslim north have been running nigeria.

Emmy you really understand Nigeria...am from middle belt region of Nigeria..All we want is that person who can ouster the capacity to restructure Nigeria..every body is scared of restructuring Nigeria because they are scared of the north...Even if an IGBO man becomes president to day He will be more than loyal to the north..

Brunicekid:
Can you see yourself? Is it OK in your eyes You are confidently saying bullion van for presidency, instead of an outright condemnation of the acts.

Wallahi the same people that will flock nairaland calling leaders all names cos of bad governance..how would any sane person vote Tinubu to rule Nigeria...!

Please let us give the number one seat to the east! for me its time...
Engineer Umahi Dave president
North-Central Vice president.
THIS SHOULD BE PAC ZONING...!

planetx:
This is a result of thinking everything white or European is better and superior.

Bro black man has enslaved himself..

Black man.Black lives matter.Niggro..All these names has nothing to do with human inclination..

We only have one set of people on earth and that's the human race..

The most cruel animal on earth is the human animal...the most wicked category of people of colour are the whites..

Why did Walter Rodney wrote his book Europe under-develop Africa

Black has nothing to do with the way we behave and think-we simply choose to be that way.

It is in this African Continent that Nelson Mandela fought for his people's freedom, not his greed or for his pockets..He only served for 4yrs and passed the touch on but he's a black man.

Identity is what u can't hide from.. Am a proud Black Man..!

Farki:
When you have Nigeria where things aren't working people are being kidnapped and murdered daily, and insurgency is going on, wealth is being stolen by locals and foreigners alike, the economy is in the toilet wouldn't any sensible person leave?

Bro..the reality of Nigeria is on every average Nigerian...it's no longer news! if there was no abroad u won't make it again..stop the excuses,complaints.

Look for avenue that will bring you revenue..live your reality and stop dreaming..wake up man..

martineverest:
chinese, Japanese,India etc got working systems ,yet they have the highest students studying abroad

Guy allow Nigerians with stupid blame game mentality..Most government do everything for you. even the highest developed countries have their students scattered all over for for various endeavours.

They should keep blaming the government while others are surviving and making it steady.

titiakins:
Even with this news you'll still see a lot of student warming up to go to northern Cyprus

This is not just happening today

They don't like Nigerians there

Marriage is not even allowed to their citizens even

Crazy place

I think government should control the list of countries students are allowed to go to

My brother life na choice..some things are just more than the government..Nigerians are just so craizy with anything abroad..information they say is power,why ask,make enquires about the location u intend travelling to. some people will hide anything especially Nigerians because people will spoil their plans..ask questions not ur agents,go online & see reviews.

Many countries may treat us this way because we move in large numbers to such places within a short time..we are too abroad centered..we look down on every thing we have here but cherish even tissue paper abroad.

Jerusalem1:
yes a shithole. I don’t need to argue with you. At least glory be to God you ain’t the only one that have travelled outa Africa.

Bros no mind some people they think say na only them don't commot outside naija. same way u struggle in Dubai to make a living same way people struggle in nugeria daily..nothing special jare...

I saw this news and after few minutes of digest tears rolled down my cheeks. I could only imagine what it feels like to be tortured for your unalienable rights...Nigerians let's put away our differences and see ourselves as one...Christians & Muslims alike...

When did the crackdown begin?

Religious repression has intensified across China since President Xi Jinping took office in 2013. The brutal crackdown on minority Muslims in the northwestern region of Xinjiang — where mosques and madrasas are being demolished and more than 1 million Uighurs have been detained in re-education camps — has sparked international outrage. But the Communist Party's assault on faith is not limited to Islam. Authorities have used the world's distraction over the coronavirus pandemic to accelerate an ongoing campaign against Christianity. Officially atheist, the party sees adherence to any faith, particularly those with foreign origins such as Christianity and Islam, as a threat to its dominance. So Xi has embarked on the "sinicization" of religious practice, ordering Muslim, Buddhist, and Christian leaders to integrate Chinese communist thought into their belief systems. The party wants people "to love the motherland and their faith," says You Quan, head of the body that oversees ethnic and religious affairs in China. Sinicization has resulted in thousands of churches and mosques being shuttered and razed; those that remain fly Chinese flags.

How is Christianity practiced in China?

For decades, Chinese Catholics and Protestants have been divided between those who attend state-sanctioned churches — in which clerics are appointed by Beijing — and those who attend so-called underground churches. About half of China's 12 million Catholics worship in the underground churches loyal to the Vatican. To try to heal that schism, Beijing and the Vatican struck a deal in 2018 that gave Chinese authorities the right to recommend new bishops and the pope the power to approve or veto them. Beijing has exploited that agreement by refusing to name bishops to half of China's 98 dioceses, while pressuring priests to adhere to party regulations, saying that the Vatican pact means that the pope commands them to do so. Portraits of the Virgin Mary have been replaced by portraits of Xi, and priests have been compelled to incorporate Xi's sayings into their sermons.

What about Protestant churches?

Protestantism is China's fastest-growing religion, and so is especially worrisome to Xi. The state-registered church, the Three-Self Patriotic Movement, claims some 39 million adherents. But at least another 40 million are thought to worship in underground "home churches" — pushing the share of Chinese who are Protestants to nearly 6 percent, about the same as the membership of the Communist Party. Beijing is determined to control the faith. Online bookstores have been banned from selling Bibles as authorities prepare a new Mandarin translation that some fear will omit whole chapters. Pastors have been ordered to attend government-sponsored training sessions, where they are told that in China the "state leads and church follows." Thousands of underground churches have been closed. At those that remain open, symbols of faith have been purged, with crosses and Bibles burned. Facial recognition cameras have been installed so that authorities can track and harass worshippers, a tactic pioneered against Buddhists in the autonomous Chinese province of Tibet.

What happened in Tibet?

Tibetan Buddhism has been targeted by Beijing for decades because it is a central pillar of Tibetan identity. That repression has ramped up under Xi. Tens of thousands of party members have been deployed to temples and villages under an outreach initiative that doubles as a surveillance program. And since 2016, up to 17,000 Buddhist monks and nuns have been evicted from two key training institutes and sent to indoctrination centers where, the U.S. State Department reports, they were beaten and shocked with electric batons. Chen Quanguo, the Politburo member who oversaw the Tibet crackdown, was sent to Xinjiang in 2016 to use the same playbook against Uighur Muslims. Detainees are forced to say "there is no God, there is only the Communist Party," said Omer Kanat, head of the U.S.-based Uighur Human Rights Project.

Are other religious groups being repressed?

The Hui, a Muslim minority of some 10 million people in central China, are now suffering the same fate as the Uighurs. Their mosques are being sinicized, stripped of domes and minarets, and the call to prayer has been banned. Many Hui fear that concentration camps may come next. The only faith that remains relatively free is Chinese Buddhism, which is seen as indigenous. Still, it, too, is being pressed into party service: In 2018, the Shaolin Monastery — ­birthplace of kung fu — was forced to fly the Chinese national flag for the first time in its 1,500-year history.

How has the U.S. responded?

The Trump administration has sanctioned dozens of companies and governmental bodies connected to human rights abuses in Xinjiang. And last month, Chen and three other top officials were hit with sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Act, freezing their U.S. assets and banning American companies from doing business with them. The U.S. will not stand by, said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, as the Communist Party attempts to eradicate Uighurs' "culture and Muslim faith." But outside pressure is unlikely to alter Chinese policy, says Karrie Koesel, an expert on religion in China. "The state," she says, "sees religion as an existential threat."

Eradicating Falun Gong

The Chinese government has identified "five poisons" that threaten its rule: pro-democracy activists, Taiwanese nationalists, Tibetan dissidents, Uighur separatists, and Falun Gong — a spiritual discipline that mixes traditional qigong with New Age philosophy. Founded in northeast China in 1992 by former trumpet player Li Hongzhi, Falun Gong ("law wheel practice" promises salvation to those who study Master Li's texts and practice a regimen of gentle physical movements. Li attracted some 70 million followers in a matter of years, a level of popularity that worried the Communist Party. It banned Falun Gong in 1999, labeling the movement an "evil cult" and arresting tens of thousands of adherents. Human rights activists say thousands were killed and had their organs harvested for transplant. Falun Gong practitioners who fled to Hong Kong, where they could practice freely, fear a sweeping new security law imposed on the city by Beijing could now be wielded against them. "It is a hanging knife over our heads," said Ingrid Wu, a Falun Gong spokeswoman.

ComeAndobo:

For those kids quoting me, let it be know today that all the mega projects and infrastructure Nigeria have was executed in the military regimes.

Your civilisation and democracy did nothing in Nigeria apart from empowering their friends and family.

God bless you!

mrsteel:
U are d kid here!
It means u know little about Nigeria history
From 1960 to 1999 did military even allowed civilian to rule? How do u expect democracy to perform magic? If only a civilian had ruled, it would have still be far better!

Guy calm down!what has civilian rule done if not harm!

Obasanjo brought-Efcc,Cct,Dstv,mobile tele-communication.common good water & electricity me nd u no get
YAr'Adua -Nddc, 7 point agenda
Good Luck -13 point agenda, 6 federal universities,boko-haram,chibog girls e.t.c

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr This is not alright
Military rule is archaic, out of date

What if it works for them!

The news said protesters were happy for ouster of the Keita..which means he was the problem. With him gone the people are happy and okay.

The west should sit down and settle the problem and protest rocking the Minsk in Belarus.. where protesters are calling for the resignation of a 26 year rule from Lukashenko (President) who insulted his citizens that, "they are dispersing away like rats". What did they do about that..?

Let the military rule Mali..after all we're all animals in black & white skin forming superiority and oppressing others.. Simple.!

Nairavsdollars you keep recycling old news all the time...
