Does borno state government have enough resources to cater for all the affected communities singlehandedly?

Why stopping NGOs from providing assistance, the role of NGOs and other international organizations in war torn places is crucial because they can deliver emergency supplies to more people than government.

In Nigeria government officials are known for diverting money, foods and other items into personal use

My late Mum favorite leader.
Most Powerful yet Humble woman to ever grace the German seat of Power!

A reformer as well, her benevolence and compassion is what I like most, she took in a lot of refugees which the opposition used against her.

The US says it is preparing "strong economic and other measures" over fears of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, after Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin spoke.

In a video call, President Biden voiced worries over Russian troop build-ups near the border with Ukraine and called for a de-escalation of tensions

More than 90,000 Russian troops are believed to be massed near Ukraine's borders. The movement has strained already tense relations between Russia and the US.


After Tuesday's call, US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said the Biden administration was preparing specific robust responses in the weeks ahead if they were required.

The measures included economic sanctions and other actions such as additional troop deployments to Nato allies in the region and defence equipment for Ukraine.

Mr Sullivan refused to be drawn on what the economic measures might be. But he said Nord Stream 2, a new gas pipeline from Russia to Germany, which is not yet in operation, provided "leverage" for the US and its allies.

If Vladimir Putin wants to see gas flow through that pipeline, he may not want to take the risk of invading Ukraine," he told journalists. Earlier reports said US officials had reached agreement with Germany to shut down the pipeline in the event of an invasion.

What form Russia's military option could take.

Russia's military option could take a variety of forms from a large incursion, to a significant invasion of the eastern part of Ukraine. One aim would be to bring the main fighting elements of the Ukrainian army to battle and to inflict such a defeat upon them that the Kyiv government has to rethink its position.

Invading territory amidst a hostile population has significant risks. Ukraine's armed forces have had some Western weaponry and training and are much improved since 2015. However, Russian forces have also improved over recent years. The firepower Russia is building up is impressive. For all the talk about Ukrainian sovereignty Nato cannot and will not come to Ukraine's aid.

And additional weapons supplies might simply contribute to Russia's justification for war.

Moscow's calculation of the costs of conflict may also be influenced by previous military deployments. While the West currently sees military engagements through the prism of the strategic defeats in Iraq and Afghanistan, Russia may take a very different view. Its operations in Georgia, its seizure of Crimea, its combat in eastern Ukraine - not to mention its involvement in Syria - may all be seen by President Putin as relative victories.

Of all the military contingencies, Michael Kofman, of the US Centre for Naval Analyses, still thinks that if it happens it will be big. "I think Russia is in the best position since 2014 economically, politically, and militarily to execute such an operation, which is not to say it will happen, but simply to suggest that there are the fewest constraints relative to other periods when it has conducted offensive operations.

It's not easy to stamp out corruption in a country like Nigeria where everyone is corrupt

His visit won't put food on my table

The unthinkable has happened, we all should have contingency plans

Nonexisting:
It's a way to keep order and balance in the world. Most oloshos end up marrying simps who are considered to be good men while bad boys and redpillers after fuccking around, marry decent vaginarians. If you join two positive wires together, you won't get a good result but an electric spark but join positive and negative wires together and my brother, you will shout up NEPA.

You are not serious, to keep order and balance indeed

Ebubechuwku:

I wonder o... they will now be a thorn in the flesh of that good girl/boy..

If you are a drunkard, marry drunkard like you, so that both of you will both mess up everywhere in the house and also clean it together, not that the man will mess up everything and the good woman willl always be cleaning up the mess..

The tin tire me bro, and they will keep their awful secrets forever

Why not marry one of your numerous bad boys and girls you've slept with countless times.
You will later hear things like he/she is only good in bed and not a wife/husband material.

Because you are a typical Nigerian politician

Congrats to him

They are good in passing the buck

His personal opinion.

But why? The money isn't that much

How does that concern us

LoveUdie:
Is not bad to train a woman in school but before you take that decision you should first train yourself or better still you should be in the same school with her.

If a woman gets educated more than you, believe me you have lost her to another man.

That's obviously the truth in this case

blackgold2018:
if I would hear her own side of the story, it might be otherwise.
People like you help and still ask for something in return OR
probably insulting and enslaving the person indirectly.

If she doesn’t appreciate you. Move on, only God rewards good deeds. Having a regret for helping her is evil. You two are no different.

indeed, you are obviously a lunatic.
You will get such treatment someday and you will know how it feels

blackgold2018:
shut tha hell up.
She’s your niece and your responsibility. I have a niece too. I’m not after her appreciating but I’m after her happiness.
Evil man

What do you know Mr man, someone that refused to pick my calls after four years of intense sacrifice, You have no Idea what you are talking about

I didn't get such help while growing up, there was nothing like uncle, I was helping myself in school and at the same time assisting her.

Good, his heatthrob and treasure

Laurene:
full! Face your shithole and leave America for Americans.

Are you pained? Sorry dear.

Datboredberry:
Do I? Shocking...

And you came to that conclusion how?

I simply told you the truth...

Most boys are allowed so much freedom at a young age... And they abuse it... And you don't care because when your son is out there fuçking a hundred women within the period of a year... You hail him... To you he's a stud... He's being a man...

As for the girl child, the problem with raising one us how you protect her from men like you and your friends...(you know yourself)...

The idea of your daught having sex before 15... It's unbearable... But you don't mind that so many boys lose their virginity far before...

That's why it's difficult...

Boys can get away with impregnating a dozen girls... Do you disown them?

But the moment your daughter comes home pregnant, you would have a heart attack...

I'm not tryna bring feminism into this... The truth might hurt you... I don't care.

But the idea of your daughter being a prostitute pains you more than the idea of your son being a yahoo boy... Because you can't imagine her being used...

That's why men don't prefer having a girl child... They need to protect her... From the predators out there...

They don't need to put in as much effort with their sons...

Don't assume that I'm bad because you don't know me.

You will certainly twist this story in your favour.

henryobinna:
since the lady assited him with his child he should consider that a form of payment for her help.

He shouldn't see it as though he's doing her a favor.

Are you serious?

Kriss216:


Same thing she's condemning.

One of the disadvantages of having a female child.

Abi oo

Datboredberry:
There's no need to have a preference... Both, if raised properly can be blessings...

You people attach so much importance to gender... It's primitive...

I would like a girl child because I want a mini version of me... Not because she's going to end up a saint or something...

Even you too have a preference.

Datboredberry:
Engaging in prostitution... That's on her alone... To bear the consequences...

As for being pregnant... With condoms and birth control pills and the easy availability of abortion clinics... How many young women come home pregnant?

Prostitution is the only wrong the girl can do...

The boy however; he's liable to impregnate other people's daughters... Join cult groups... Be an internet fraudster... Be a ritualists... Be a kidnapper... Be a political thug... Be a serial rapist... Be a human trafficker... Be a drug pusher... And the list goes on...

And if he's decent... When he grows up, he leaves his family to build his own... Unlike a girl whose loyalty remains with her parents and siblings...

Raising a girl child is easy...

The only problem isn't what she grows up to be but the dangers she would face growing up:

Being the victim of a community diçk... Raped... Physically abused by aggressive men... Taken advantage of... And so on...

You wouldn't want a daughter, because you would have to put in so much effort protecting her...

As for a boy... He could even grow up wayward, on the streets 24/7...having sex with prostitutes before he's even 18... And you wouldn't lose sleep...

BeCaUsE hE's A mAn...

you sound like a feminist

Okay

ImaIma1:
Lol...I meant you will be the one to stay and build the country

Of course I will stay because I want this country to be great.

You can stay with me, let's work together.

Iyaebe:
It is common knowledge since time immemorial that raising a male child is one hell of a difficult thing,its even more difficult in this yahoo and drugs era.

What of female child that will engage in prostitution, bring pregnancy home and many more.
Both are difficult to raise.

I know both genders are difficult to raise nowadays, some bring shame home after everything their parents have gone through to ensure a bright future for them.
So which one is more difficult to raise between male and female child?

Happy birthday to him

ImaIma1:
You

Yes dear, it's me.
