I still find it absurd that Amode, a governor continues to represent Tinubu, a party leader.

Don't get me wrong, I know that Tinubu commands huge respect within APC and that he also made Ambode the governor, BUT it sounds so weird that the Lagos state governor has to represent him at any occasion. The govnr should be above this kind of errands which make him appear like a puppet.

well in the actual sence,,he is a puppet..

if they succeed with the test launch,this wld serve as a deterrence to isreal's '''first strike policy'' in the middle east...THE jews wld be MAD with obama@this point...

i dont think there have been any improvement in the fight against insurgency...except we want to tell ourselves lies..this govt needs to sit up or else..................

this is an embarrassment to the nation...a state of emergency shld be declared on all our security apparatus/structure/personnel immediately..

i wish them GOODLUCK.

JUDGING FROM YOUR POST,COMMON SENSE MUST BE A LUXURY IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD.

who gives a f*ck what this former PRISONER OF WAR thinks ...

worlexy:
One thing I notice about this government is its instability, says something today, denies it tomorrow. Appoints someone today, changes mind tomorrow. I think that is an attribute of someone who thinks after acting as against the reasonable way of thinking before acting. This govt is confused.

contract shakespear,u just gave INSTABILITY a new meaning...

bonechamberlain:
oga Russia isn't interested in fighting wars and destroying independent nations, what Russia is more concerned with is their national security and interest. well I agree with u saying the u.s has much to loose if it eventually go into war with Russia, but mind u even if the u s goes into a conventional war with Russia it would never regain its world power status. they can both destroy themselves conventionally. just like I said before the u.s spreads to much propaganda about their military that it would look as if they can occupy the whole planets in one second. of course remember they have the media which Russia doesn't have. one thing in war is tenacity, the Russians infact to a large extent the people of eastern Europe are more tenacious ad have experienced more hardship and brutal life styles than their counterparts in the west and western Europe. they would be more willing to die fighting than their western neighbours.

remember the battle of Stalingrad where Russia/Soviet union lost millions of soldiers just to make sure they push the germans out of their country and defeat them which was a success at a very high cost as the battle was one if the bloodiest in ww2

YOUR ANALYSIS CANT BE MORE OBJECTIVE AND DIRECT !! Russia's foreign policy is centered around securing its security/economic interest...syria is russia's only access to the Mediterranean.(security interest)...as for the economic interest in syria,the 10billion dollar IRAN-IRAQ-SYRIA gas pipeline is a project that would cement its main ally IRAN,as the future economic power house of the middle east,,an idea that the US and its gulf allies detest......the US is pissed with Europe's dependence on russian gas,the simple solution would be the proposed SAUDI/UAE-iraq-syria-turkey pipeline which AL ASAD refused to approve instead he signed a deal with iran,that's why the gulf state /are against al asad and have been fueling the jihadist in syria with money and weapons to oust him.if they succed in busting ASAD,it wld mean an end to russia's access to the European gas market.,coz the saudi/UAE gas pipeline wld be channeled tru iraq -syria -turkey(nato member) to europe.........

The Al-Nusra Front, al Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate, has asked extremists in the Caucasus to launch an attack against Russian soldiers and nationals. The move is in retaliation for Russia’s involvement with the Syrian government against the Islamic State group.

Al-Nusra head Abu Mohamed al-Jolani said in an audio message released Monday that the extremists should go for "an eye for an eye." If Russia can kill their soldiers and people, they can also kill Russia’s, he said.

"The war in Syria will make the Russians forget the horrors that they found in Afghanistan," AFP quoted al-Jolanias saying. "They will be shattered, with God's permission, on Syria's doorstep."

According to al-Jolani, attacks against the Russian should stop when the Kremlin stops attacking Syrian village and cities.

"I call on all armed factions to gather the highest number of shells and rockets and to hurl hundreds of rockets every day at the Nusayri (derogatory term apostates) for villages, just like the scoundrels do to the Sunni villages and towns, to make you taste what our people are suffering," he said. "Delay the disputes until the demise and smashing of the Western Crusader and Russian campaign on Syrian land."

Russia started its air campaign against ISIS militants in Syria in September. While al-Jolani warned Moscow to expect ominous consequences for its operation in Syria, two shells have reportedly struck the Russian embassy in Damascus Tuesday.

The strike took place when hundreds of people gathered outside the building to extend their support for the Russian airstrikes. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called the attack "a terrorist act" which, according to the BBC, caused widespread panic and smoke coming from the embassy compound...

Desperate actions from dying jihadist...they are being f*cked left,right and center by Russian Jets..Let the Saudis and Quatris keep sending fighters/ammunitions into syria,the russians will never get tired of pounding their empty skulls..

Insurgents fired two shells at the Russian embassy in the Syrian capital on Tuesday as hundreds of pro-government supporters gathered outside the compound to thank Moscow for its intervention in Syria. The placards in Arabic read, "yes to Russian-Syrian cooperation," center left, and "thank you Russia, thank you Russia," center right. (SANA via AP)
Insurgents fired two shells at the Russian embassy in the Syrian capital on Tuesday as hundreds of pro-government supporters gathered outside the compound to thank Moscow for its intervention in Syria.
An Associated Press reporter was outside the embassy when the first shell slammed into the compound in central Damascus and smoke billowed from inside. As people started running away, another shell hit the area. No one was harmed in the shelling.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov condemned the attack, saying "this is obviously a terrorist act intended to, probably, frighten supporters of the war against terror and to not allow them to prevail in the fight with extremism."
An official with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent said no one was hurt in the shelling. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said the second shell hit about 200 meters (yards) from the embassy compound.
Rebels in the capital's suburbs have targeted the embassy in the past, and it was not clear if Tuesday's attack targeted the rally.
Insurgents have vowed to fight Russian forces after Moscow began launching airstrikes in Syria late last month. Russia has been one of Assad's strongest supporters since the start of the uprising in 2011. The civil war has killed more than 250,000 people and displaced half of Syria's population.
Before the shelling, the demonstrators had gathered outside the embassy carrying posters showing Assad and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and waved the two countries' flags.
Some held placards that read: "Thanks Russia" and "Syria and Russia are together to fight terrorism."
"President Putin's stances were absolutely positive for Syria," said 39-year-old civil servant Nizar Maqsoud.
"All the West stood against us. Only Russia backed us . we are all here to thank Russia and President Putin," said Osama Salal, an 18-year-old student.
Russia began launching airstrikes in Syria on Sept. 30, allowing Syrian government forces to launch a multi-pronged ground assault. Moscow insists it is mainly targeting the Islamic State group and other "terrorists," but the ground-and-air offensive is being waged in areas controlled by U.S.-backed rebels as well as other insurgents, including the al-Qaida-affiliated Nusra Front.
The Syrian ground offensive continued for a seventh day Tuesday in central and northwestern regions, killing dozens of insurgents, according to Syrian state media.
SANA said troops captured the village of Lahaya hours after capturing the village of Mansoura on the northern edge of the central Hama province.
Lebanon's pro-Syrian daily Al-Akhbar and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said civilian flights have stopped at the Basel Assad International Airport in the coastal province of Latakia because of intense activities by Russian warplanes at a nearby military base.
The airport, also known by its old name Hemeimeem, is being used by Iranian planes to bring in thousands of Iranian fighters to take part in the government offensive, said the Observatory, which relies on local activists.
Iran, another key ally of Assad, has sent military advisers to aid his forces but denies sending combat troops to Syria.
A civil aviation official in Damascus told The Associated Press that only international flights to the airport have been stopped, adding that internal flights continue as usual. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic.
Earlier Tuesday, the Nusra Front released an audio message purportedly from its leader, describing the Russian military intervention as a new "Crusader campaign" aiming to save Assad's rule.
The Nusra Front leader, known as Abu Muhammed al-Golani, called on Syrian militant and rebel groups to unite and intensify shelling of villages inhabited by members of Assad's minority Alawite sect.
Al-Golani also called on Muslims in the former Soviet Union to attack Russian civilians if Russians target civilians in Syria.
"The Russian intervention came to declare a new eastern Crusader war after the western Crusader war failed in Syria," al-Golani said, in an apparent reference to airstrikes by the U.S.-led coalition that began last year. Al-Golani said the Russians are not targeting the IS group, but are instead striking at militants who are fighting the government.
The jihadi leader promised to pay 3 million euros ($3.42 million) to whomever kills Assad and 2 million euros ($2.28 million) to whomever kills Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, whose men are fighting alongside Assad's forces.

This Op just keep cracking me up...the missile u mentioned isnt even among the top 3ICBM's in the world...have u heard of the S18-SATAN?.make researches before opening thread with obsolete content

This news is pure lies..an incident of tnis magnitute wld be all over CNN,BBC&AL -JAZERA...is it turkey that's begging rusisa to sell it the S-300 ..lol..jokes everywhere

Phame:
Putin has established a foothold on Syria without the UN security council vote and you are here saying this?

which stupid security council vote..putin was officially invited into syria by the legitimate govt of Al Asad..who gave the US@its coalition allies permission to operate in syria?it seems to me,that illegality is a virtue for u..

CSTR2:
Very interesting. Though the UK is a very sophisticated nation that knows the battles it should fight.
Going up against russia would be absolutely stupidd unless they are certain of american support which is also possible.
A provocation between the UK and russia has been coming since russian tupolev long range strike aircrafts hovering very close to UK airspace have been intercepted in a number of occasions.
One thing is certain though,america would very much like this to happen. It would create the perfect opportunity to prepare NATO for a military invasion of russian mainland.

invasion of russian mainland?.do u have any idea what it wld cost NATO to invade russia?...lol..

.............and just like that..,,


the power of numbers is being tilted in favour of the APC in the senate....PDP loss ,is APC gain......more annulments to come..

ValerianSteel:
I watched the report live on CNN by Jonathan Mann and he said "US air strike hit hospital in Kunduz".It was very much accredited to the U.S.

I don't know where you got otherwise.The same CNN reported this morning that Obama apologized about the strike and the U.S. Will make payments to families of the deceased.

it was after the criticism started pouring in,,not until then did they eventually owned up and started reporting it as it occured point blank..they made efforts to downplay the incident@the beginning(CNN,NEW YORK TIMES et al,),but failed..http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/561532ade4b0fad1591a3193..( Blame Game: NYT, CNN play it coy naming perp in Afghan hospital bombing — RT Op-Edge. https://www.rt.com/op-edge/317809-kunduz-hospital-afghanistan-bombing/)...i use to be an ardent viewer of cnn/bbc..but i stopped a long time ago when i discovered,it was just one of many tool ,,used by the US to protect its imperialist status.,by distorting the truth..i am nt making a blind assertion here,i do back up my views with links...

ValerianSteel:
Stop lying,CNN reported the Hospital strike in Kunduz immediately.

You the one spreading the propaganda.

They reported?..how did they report the news?all foreign news outlets attributed the bombing of the hospitals to the US.......all execpt CNN..is it reportage that matters, or stating the facts as it occured?.just look@the deceptive headline''AIR ATTACK kill at least 19 in afganistan hospital.,US investigating...''http://edition.cnn.com/2015/10/03/asia/afghanistan-doctors-without-borders-hospital/. my question to u'all CNN/BBC western media bootylickers is this,,did that headline captures the true event,as to what transpired@kundus?....back to the real issue,,Cruise missile falling in iran,even after the russians@iranians thwart the claim..when did the pentagon become iranian military spokesperson?..some folks are busy feeding and getting fat on this bullshit from the pentagon...were u expecting them to issue the ruskies congratulatory card on a successful missile launch?im done replying political rookies..

The russians were also able to shut down all communication/electronic gadget of the USS DONALD COOK@the black sea in april 2014..,forcing the 'donald duck'to seek shelter in a romanian port..i keep telling folks,the russians dont need to spend $600billion on defence before they engage any nation on earth...what shall it profit a WORLD POWER like(US),if after spending billions on military budget,only for its Destroyer to be blinded by an unarmed russian bomber? http://www.veteranstoday.com/2014/11/13/aegis-fail-in-black-sea-ruskies-burn-down-uss-donald-duck/ http://m.sputniknews.com/russia/20150530/1022751505.html. http://www.voltairenet.org/article185860.html. http://www.infowars.com/russians-disable-u-s-guided-missile-destroyer/

all4naija:
The precision of those missiles have been contested in the bombardment of rebels in Syria. I don't know what else you expect to see. These are missiles that move at lower altitude over Iraq before hitting target in Syria.

The proofs are from secret American information within that region. USA is very familiar with that area more than Russia.

http://edition.cnn.com/2015/10/08/politics/russian-missiles-syria-landed-iran/

the war in syria is not just a bombing contest btw US/RUSSIA...its also an informative warfare(propaganda)..u just quoted a western media outlet (CNN)..did CNN report the US bombing of a hospital in kundis(afganistan)?nope..no sooner had russian jet delivered their first payload,we saw the likes of CNN,BBC telling the world that the russian are bombing innocent children/civilians,as if the US bombing campaign hasn't incured any colleteral damage itself...they said a ''missile fell in iran'',where did it fall,who saw it?a spy,lol...so it happens that the spy was in the same location,@the same time,where the bomb fell?...

Missy89:
I hear you. Russia indeed do have a better strategy in Syria

Point is, The US navy have moved far beyond hitting static targets with cruise missiles and have successfully tested synthetically guided Tomahawk missiles that can hit moving targets, alter its course toward the moving target after receiving position updates from surveillance aircraft/drones. They can even loiter over a target area. When Russia have the capability in 2056, Let me know .

The only area Russia can even dream to compete with the US navy is with submarines. Most Russian naval surface ships are old soviet legacy relics. They are modernizing however i will give them that.

S300 is a fascinating piece of technology but USAF wont even break a sweat penetrating it. There are advanced Miniature Air-Launched Decoys that can render it obsolete if it is integrated with Joint Standoff Weapons like AGM-154 and advanced Anti-Radiation missiles. A comprehensive USAF Iron Hand operation will amaze you.

Russia's military quality is impressive but very limited.

very limited,hahahahahahahahaha...just one question pls,WHAT HAPPENED TO THE USS DONALD COOK@THE BLACK SEA,in APRIL 2014?....http://www.veteranstoday.com/2014/11/13/aegis-fail-in-black-sea-ruskies-burn-down-uss-donald-duck/. http://www.voltairenet.org/article185860.html. http://www.infowars.com/russians-disable-u-s-guided-missile-destroyer/..THE USS DESTROYER ENCOUNTERED AN UNARMED SU BOMBER AND RAN AWAY TO ROMANIA LIKE A SCARED FISH..

US STILL RELY ON RUSSIAN ROCKET ENGINES TO FLY INTO SPACE..#fact

Phame:
Insanity!


Saudi government has been regretting their actions in Syria cos they fear most of their nationals fighting along side FSA at the beginning , which they supported and funded, have now joined ISIL and now fear they might come back and create trouble back home. So they support anyone that's out to destroy ISIL.

Have you forgotten that it was for this reason that the Saudi government donated the sum of $1billion to the Lebanese government( a shiate government) to fight ISIL members crossing back to Lebanon when the Assad army prevented from crossing a particular part of Syria to homs ?

Russia is in this war because of Assad and also because of their citizens from Chechen who joined ISIL and are fighting in Syria. This is the same reason China is involved too.


Saudi and the US have a sour r/ship right now because of the nuclear deal with iran- so expect Saudi to keep mute.

It's a multidimensional war driven by conflicting interest, so save us your empty analysis.

Exactly..DOnt mind that 'crack sniffing bedroom analyst' called OSTRISH..,who obviously is in a infantile state..

LeOstrich:
Now let's look at the likely global fallout of a regime change in Saudi Arabia backed by Russia...


The Americans will definitely react to restore their king back and also to protect their multi billion dollar investments in Saudi.

You can expect a full blown war in Saudi Arabia.

The outcome of which will make crude prices soar and then make Russia the largest oil exporter.

This will change the whole dynamics.

The US will need to tap into energy sources both for their local consumption and their war effort.

Countries like Nigeria will be targeted and you can expect Putin to do the same thing in Saudi Arabia and Nigeria by toppling the American puppet in Aso rock or Putin can simply throw Russia weight on the Niger Delta and Biafran seccesion in order to deny US and EU access to Niger delta crude.

My people, the Schmitta is here. September 23 was the day Russian troops began military buildup in Syria.

Nigeria will soon be history !

..Russia planning a coup in Turkey?@Saudi arabia where US has boots on the ground?U're the most delusional being av come across on nairaland...all humans have the right to be DELUSIONAL,stop abusing the previlege with your cooked up/anus analysis of world politics....

ValerianSteel:
Do not miscontrue my post,everyone knows Russia has got a very advanced Nuclear capablities above Israel.What am only reiterating is that,even if it comes down to nukes,Israle has got the right nuclear force to level anywhere in Russia same way Russia can do the same.

Yeah Russia has the nukes,more powerful and effective,Israel's nukes are also as efficient as can be,everybody got the balls,simple.

i had no interest in ICBM until u brought up the jerico 111,,which isnt among the top 5 ICBM in the world today...i stand to be corrected,russia has more military aircraft than any nation on planet earth, except the US...

ValerianSteel:
Its like Stupidity runs deep in your brains.

The Israeli Airforce is the most active in the world,it conducts more air strikes than other air-force since it was founded.


Did I hear you say Russia again??

If we are talking nukes,Israel can annihilate Kremlin same way Kremlin can level Tel Aviv,in the game of nukes,they bothe got the nukes to do the deadly job of destruction,but that battle is for the U.S. And Russia.

.

Have u heard of the R-36M2 – ICBM (Soviet Union/Russia)aka the SS-18 Satan...this is the deadliest weapon currently in the world..your JERICO 3 ICBM is breakfast compare to this piece... First deployed in 1974, the R-36 has gone through a number of changes which even at one time included carrying a 20-25mt warhead. The last development of this missile, the R-36M2 has ten 750kt warheads and a range of approximately 11,000 km. With a top speed of nearly 8 km/s and a CEP of 220m, the Satan is a weapon which caused a lot of concern for American military planners. It could have been even worse if Soviet planners had been given the green light to deploy one version of this missile which was to have 38 250kt warheads..due to the deadly nature of this weapon, Russia plans to retire all of these missiles by 2019.http://www.therichest.com/rich-list/most-shocking/10-of-the-deadliest-nuclear-missiles/?view=all. http://www.military-today.com/missiles/ss18_satan.htm. you are so obssesed with the over hyped isreali military that has never won a war without the US support...comparing the russian airforce with IAF is just pure fooly...russia has more jet fighters in the world than any nation on earth apart from US...
