Kdon2:
You are a sensible man.

thanks bro, I appreciate that, all I want is a Nigeria that works for all.

Great architectural design here, can Nigerian engineers build something like these ones, do they have the expertise?

The first masterpiece here is in Miami, Florida

The second edifice is in Singapore

The third picture is in China.

Including Tinubu the Tief, thuggery master and drug barons.

agreed, I posted about tinubu yesterday, maybe you should check it out.
Let's continue to shame them

It is only in Nigeria that people of questionable character aspire for the highest office in the land.

Kalu was convicted by the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court on 5 December 2019 and sentenced to 12 years in prison for N7. 65 billion fraud. He was convicted for defrauding the government of Abia State where he was a governor for 8 years using his company, Slok Nigeria Limited, just look at the magnitude of his crime, I still don't know where his audacity and temerity to publicly announce his presidential ambition comes from

Though every qualified Nigerian has the right to vie for any office according to our Constitution, but senator Orji kalu's declaration of his presidential aspiration is laughable and ludicrous.

He has so many cases with EFCC, I don't like those knaves that disregard scruples and try to brazen it out.

Financial malfeasance isn't something to take lightly, it is always a willful act, we are all suffering today because of these kleptomaniacs.
He belongs in the dungeon forever, though he doesn't stand a good chance in this election, but coming out to contest shows the brokenness and disfunctionality of Nigeria

This is my honest and humble opinion devoid of sentiment, let's be objective and neutral at a time like this.

Such statements disgust me

tyup:
So na North Korea con strong?? children everywhere

see this clown calling me kid, north Korea is a nuclear armed country with hundreds of ballistic missiles that can reach so many US bases in that region, do you think Americans are so foolish to fight such a country with weapons of mass destruction.

US cannot protect south Korea from north Korea in the event of war.

Sometimes finesse and diplomacy is better than aggression.

Even if US will win, it will be a pyrrhic victory.

Latakia:
The second country after Iran America will never want to go into physical war alone with. Na only sanctions upon sanctions that doesn't have impact dem dey issue. If na Syria, Afghanistan or Iraq America for don wage war on them since.

America only invade weak countries

oyin44:
I don't even understand this word' give up '

Are you leaving or what? if tinubu elected..

yeah, I believe this dark chapter under buhari will end soon, but I simply cannot endure another one

I'm not saying this out of prejudice or aversion of any tribe, but I believe this man is another buhari, a grave mistake we made in 2015.

APC will definitely try to remould tinubu the same way they sold unqualified buhari to us, I don't want to hear their blarney and hot air this time.

We must show the entire world that we are serious people.

We cannot continue to recycle these machiavellians whose sole aim is to plunder everything away.

I will vote for Osinbajo if APC gives him a chance because I believe he has the interest of Nigeria at heart.

So what's your story today, did you succeed in enrolment?

Bola146:
I heard it on fresh FM now ATM governor is gone the man was always laughing. He helped APC achieved a lot.

so you live in Ibadan

Degunners:
I don't think I have low self esteem. I just don't know how to say know. I'm this kind of person that has free hands I can give out my last kobo just to make someone happy to my self detriment.

I'm someone like you too, but trust me I've made up my mind not to help anybody to my own detriment including family members

lilvicky68:
How old are you?? Let's start from there..

I'm old enough to be president

Aso rock is for everybody, he should try his luck

APC with their abysmal performance will not rule this country again

helinues:
The Igbo's would wake up one morning and start chasing any Ipobs out of SE..

That would eventually be the case of the illiterates Ipobs who are hell bent in causing chaos and confusion in their own region just because they despite the president

they didn't make noise when Jonathan was president despite his abysmal performance.

What I hate most is hypocrisy and bigotry

joyandfaith:
Taliban leaders are coupists. If they want to be recognised, they should organize election and hold referendum for review of constitution.

exactly, they should stop their ruthlessness

Asquare84:
This is a lesson for IPOB.

it is, hopefully they will learn from this

AVECDEO:
The pen (diplomacy) will always be mightier than the sword (war mongering and violent takeover of aborigines land).

The sword has failed again and it will always fail no matter how beautifully disguised.

Taliban is known to be the benefactor and foundation stone of all terrorist organisations in the world since the early 90s.

All other dissident groups look up to them as their mentor.

They should not be allowed or recognised until an election or referendum is conducted

I concur, they are bunch of cut-throats

michlins:
Fact is that no one refugees crisis. They will gladly allow you to continue in your entrapment than have you trooping into their doors.

That's fact

yeah humanitarian crisis is part of it

The international community has continually frown on Forceful take over of legitimate governments without holding referendum or elections.

Any of such unlawful takeover of government either by militant group or terrorists will eventually struggle for international legitimacy and recognition.

Even Catalonia a constituted regional government in Spain failed woefully in 2017 when it attempted it.

As of January 2022, no country has formally recognized the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan as the legitimate successor to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

In August 2021, the Taliban took control of Afghanistan once again. It marked the end of 20 years of relatively democratic governance in Afghanistan. Since then, the Taliban have portrayed their government as legitimate in hopes of attracting international recognition and occupying Afghanistan’s seat in the United Nations.

In September 2021, the Taliban announced an interim government and tried to propagate a different image to the international community, claiming that they have changed in terms of their governance approach. They opened talks with several different heads of states. However, the Taliban have serious legitimacy predicaments both internally and externally. Internally, the Taliban have faced different waves of protests and resistance across the country, showing nationwide resentment to their rule. Externally, the U.N. Security Council passed a resolution in March 2020, declaring that they would neither recognize nor “support the restoration of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.” This was reinforced by another resolution in August 2021 demanding an inclusive government and respect for human rights. All member of the UNSC as well as other states in different venues and meetings despite pledging to provide humanitarian aid have repeatedly vowed not to recognize the Taliban’s control of Afghanistan. This includes states which have conventionally or just recently, plainly or tacitly, supported the Taliban, including Pakistan, China, Russia, Iran, and Qatar.

A possible recognition of the Taliban by the United Nations and other states would not only undermine some important principles of international law, but it would also have serious domestic and international implications. While the Taliban’s recognition would domestically undermine the right to self-determination of Afghans which is enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations it would internationally embolden other terrorist organizations across the globe to topple governments and then demand international recognition as the legitimate government of the states they’d seized.

Do the Taliban Meet International Law Requirements for Recognition?


The Taliban have claimed that because it has the control of “all borders, territory and major cities of Afghanistan,” and has formed “the government of people,” the group deserves an international recognition and Afghanistan’s seat in the U.N. The problem with this argument is two-fold: first, the effective control doctrine is neither sufficient nor even the principal condition for recognition or obtaining a seat in the U.N. Traditionally, international recognition requires meeting four conditions by a new government: (1) effective control; (2) popular support and domestic legitimacy; (3) permanency and stability; and (4) ability and willingness to fulfill international obligations. Secondly, the Taliban fall way short of internal legitimacy by any metri

International law and practice have increasingly emphasized legitimacy of governments whether through elections, referendums, or some sort of public engagement. For instance, in 2013 when the Egyptian defense minister declared the end of the Mohamed Morsi government, the international community conditioned their recognition of any new government on holding immediate parliamentary elections. In 1974, the U.N. General Assembly practically suspended the representation of South Africa by its government due to its apartheid policies until the first democratic election was held in 1994.

The Taliban seized Afghanistan by force and have begun to ensure their control, not through elections or any similar means, but through extrajudicial killing, mass eviction of minorities, and torturing any dissident. Just a day after the seizure of Kabul by the Taliban, all members of the U.N. Security Council agreed that recognizing a government imposed by force was not an option since it would only encourage violent takeovers and toppling of legitimate regimes elsewhere. By any standard, the Taliban’s takeover has been more violent than the coup in Egypt and their governance has been as, if not more, violent than apartheid South Africa.

The Taliban did not hold any elections or referendums or even a Loya Jirga (a grand assembly traditionally used in Afghanistan to elect governments and ratify constitutions) to allow Afghans to voice their opinions about their government. The Taliban have repeatedly declared that they would not hold elections to form a government. Instead, the Taliban introduced a cabinet that is all-male, almost entirely ethno-religiously exclusive, and with U.N. listed-terrorists as ministers. Instead of recognizing the role of the women in government and society, the Taliban simply removed the Ministry of Women and replaced it with the Ministry of Amr Bil Maruf, which conducts religious and moral policing. The Taliban have continued killing former government employees and committing the crime of ethnic cleansing by forcing mass evacuation of mainly Hazaras — but also members of other groups — from their villages and towns in several provinces of Afghanistan.
