So, now that there are protest against in Ukraine, Russia etc. Why can't US invade Russia to kill Putin, Just like they did to Ghadaffi, or are you saying Putin should not be called a terrorist, because he isn't Muslim. You think what Putin is doing is fighting for Russia, he is actually fight for power and domination.

The Iranian general US killed a year ago, has he done worse than what Putin did, or aren't they both fighting for their country. You talked about Afghanistan being traceable to terrorism, that's why US invaded their country and destroyed their country for more than 20 years, now Putin is destroying Ukraine, do terrorist do more than that. Or you think those terrorist don't have their own believes too, what mak s Putin more justified that them is because he is wealthy and his country have nuclear weapons.

I really shared your thoughts. Read through my first post to you again. We are saying same thing as regard powerful countries invading one another with great caution. They all know what is at risk. In the past decades , US often invade less powerful countries. Biden has been hit and jeered the more because his voice was louder and sounded as a warning to Putin before Russia invasion, only after invasion, almost a whisper from Biden is all we could hear.

Can't really blame him, it would be foolhardy of him to go headlong against Putin. Severity of Covid, none has fully recovered from. It caused US a whole lot more, can you see inflations going through the roof because of excess dollars in circulation? It will be suicidal to now head to war again at such a time as this. People saying Putin wouldn't have tried it with Trump are saying factual lies, yeah because Trump was getting in romance with Putin until ousted from the White House. Even Trump would have chosen his battles with utmost care. He talks more than he thinks and his brags are nothing but surely brags.

Shitty head, stop mentioning me.
I never quoted you. I don't quote withered brain who name-call and can't argue objectively. Follow your ilks and get lost.

This is serious tho..
Putin put your ego and pride down then tell your army to retreat..stop hurting your economy cos of your selfish interest..
Stop listening to your puppets on here who are hyping you..

I pity the average Russians who are in tears right now..most are really feeling the heat...
You deserve what's happening to you cos no sane being will act the way you did..
Some said Ukraine will fall by Sunday (DoggoneBoy) and some others ...but here they are still standing firm ambushing and taking Russia soldiers swiftly..

Where are Putin's puppet who said the sanction has no effect on Russia's economy?let's see how they plan on surviving this heavy calamity on them..
We don't want any terrorist or bloody dictators in our time..Archduke Ferdinand..Hitler.. Saddam Hussein... and some other monster taught the world a lesson and the west won't want any of those nonsense to repeat itself..

What future effects to come would be worse than this, many dimwits on here have been saying those sanctions won't amount to anything. Let's wait.

Something I've learnt about this war is, if you country is rich and heavily armed, nobody will try nonesense with you, we know how America invaded Afghanistan, Syria, libya etc. For having a different believe, now see Russia doing something similar and more worse, the US are stepping back.

Another thing is don't think when you are gentle, calm and armless, you neighbours will be calm to you. I just putting Africans countries when one evil neighbours go reason our matter. Some one can just wake up one day, check how armed your country is, if your country is among those holy holy country, they will start invading. Can Russia invade US or China like this, even US can't invade China, but let Afghanistan or Iraq test any nuclear weapon, you will see real invasion

Your assertions are partially true.
Wealthy countries with robust economy also control power to a degree. And it is true that the world powers will really really hesitate among themselves to invade one another.

Not trying to justify US at all; US has her lopsided approaches and view, depending on factors such as party in presidency, personality, present economic policies, etc
Having stated that, it is however not on the same ground that US 'invaded' Syria, Libya and Afghanistan that Russia is invading Ukraine.
All those places you mentioned have been having internal issues. Nation-wide protest was going against Ghadaffi already causing unrest, Syria was having almost decade-long crisis, Afghanistan's was traceable to al-queda and terrorism seat, and especially, more like a revenge of September 11 attack on the US.

All these don't look exactly like Russia taking war into Ukraine because of Putin's insinuations into a country (Nazi's affliation, tendencies of joining issues with NATO , etc) which is not facing internal turmoil. I am aware of Donetsk and other place within Ukraine declaring for Russia, but yet, the aggression of Russia against Ukraine can't be termed as that of "intervention".

The most critical and pathetic former POTUS alive you seem.
Criticizing everything breathing or dead like a destiny call, leadership-to-the-dog kinda human.

You would not see past POTUS taking on their fellows like it's a life mission, but garrulous Trump. Biden has plenty errors, but alas! It's his time. Go sit yourself down and breathe freely. He defeated you, for once try to recover from that

Shame yet on Russia.

With all the ammunition and boasts of superpower, Russia couldn't humiliate Ukraine, so much that they would have to resolve to using nukes not proper in modern day wars?!
On a levelled playground, you are already a failure so far, so cheat has to be introduced. Cheat remains a cheat

PrinceOfLagos:
It will take Ukraine many years to recover from this war

Same with Russia.
Anyone without much knowledge of international policies and relations will say those sanctions against Russia by committee of nations are nothing. Just wait.

obedience4:
How is he confused? Man standing against the largest amry in Europe... Russia thought by now they will have been unrest in Ukraine.. Instead this man Mr zelensky has been able to unite a country against tyranny.. A country with so many ethnicity are untied.. You see people willing to die for their country.. It takes a leader of strength and character... A foolish man like you staying in a country were unity is farfetched.. Is your president not confused?? Have you ever been in a leadership position? You that can't not even lead yourself is insulting a Democraticaly elected leaders that campaign and won an election

Are you minding them, so many teenagers on the platform dabbling into discussion they ought to rather learn from, just because of availability of cheap data.

mike8804:
Thought you guys were wining the war! War is not politics which you can win with social media propaganda.
Russia is the only country that cannot be conquered, they help to end both first and second world war. A country with about 11 timeline zones!

Note:
After Germany has pounds the hell out of great Britain and her allies, the west couldn't defeat Germany (a country not has big as northern Nigeria) only when the red army came, the war was won. Napoleon and Hitler made the mistake of attacking Russia.

President Putin said and I quote " if the world doesn't want to live with Russia, then the world doesn't deserve to live without Russia"

"Russia is the only country that can't be conquered" sounds so far, far fetched. Because of 11 timezones?

Germans military and weapons couldn't do well under the extreme cold in Russia as they pursued the Russians further in, which was a trap in itself, they had to abandon them within Russia territory and capitulated in that pursuit, Russia didn't win because of their military prowess but weather that destroyed mostly Germans weapons. Check history well again.
Beside, Germans couldn't overcome RAF (UK) which was why Hitler didn't invade Britain.
German army spread too thin, fighting hither and thither, without Russia, they couldn't have won the war even till the end. Again I say, check history well.


Turn it around, if it had been Russia against the rest of the world, I am sure this narrative of "the only country that can't be conquered" won't be it. Russia shares border with about 14 countries, that's a vulnerability alone in itself.

And your post is almost applauding Russia for invading a sovereign nation on the basis of what can't add up from the lips of Putin. Let Ukraine add the media propaganda or whatsoever you call it to their fight, I think they need it, Ukraine never boasted that she's more superior to Russian might, so they need sympathy, enough of which I feel they have got and still getting; rather Russia should be ashamed that days into their war campaign against an underdog, they have had more casualties than necessary.

Shame on Putin.

As if the world has not experienced turmoil enough.
Next time, before any country rolls out drums of war, count and weigh the cost...
More implications yet to come.

Looks like a foolish decision, especially to many ignorant ones right here, but that's actually what's best to do.

1. Not all wars or battles are yours to fight. There are wars you win by avoiding them. He who fights and runs will live to fight another day.
2. The war of 21st century is war of supremacy of economy. Any world power that goes into war these days won't recover economically for decades to come. Germany is still paying for the foolishness of Adolf Hitler for plunging the world into WW2
3. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia doesn't concern US directly. Ukraine has never joined NATO officially, so US will be on her own, to go headlong into war with bloodthirsty Putin. The best bet would be NATO against Russia(had it been Ukraine already belongs to NATO), not US all alone.

Nuff said...

This mad Putin, he is single handedly driving the whole world to war.

Not too far from what happened when the German invade Poland.

Na so?

There was a country.

They need to fear because it wasn't possible for Kyari to be doing all sort without the knowledge of his superiors, might not be all, but definitely some.

Greater fear is that getting to the conclusion of the whole matter is not promised.
Most eople in power mostly are there to use power to serve themselves first and keep their dirty stuff in the dark forever. Power corrupts. Tell me one singular power broker on the corridor of power who doesn't misuse power ... especially among blacks?!

Simply, Kyari has backers and business partners among his superiors.

HantaVirus:
No country on earth now can afford a full scale war.

Russia's economy is so weak that they can't afford to start a war....Even the United States with a military budget of One trillion dollars wouldn't want war right now with what COVID-19 is showing the world.

War is fucking expensive

Exactly!
All these toddlers saying that US is a coward or Russia is so-so are nothing but as they are called.
Even for the country with most buoyant economy, no one has enough resources for war in this 21st century. No one can estimate right the cost of war unless when war is concluded. Germany is still receiving sanction for the role of their dictator leader leading to second WW. Japan still has not forgotten scars of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Not even the war that might be fought with chemical/biological and nuclear weapons... No country can ever be ready.
War is not funfare, even any country which claims to win at the end of a war will record losses and licks its wound.
It is babies who think reluctance to fight a war is cowardice. US has much more to lose.

The world doesn't belong to just one person.
What goes around, comes around.

oluseyiforjesus:
Honestly our politicians don't hv common sense. In a state where blood are shed daily.

Common sense they say is never common.
That's why they say these guys don't just value Nigerians.
What's happening across the breadth and length of the country on a daily basis is enough reason to declare state of emergency on national security here and there.
Worse still, so called 'war' against terrorism and banditry is compromised to the full.

Stranger than fiction it is.
And you know what? American lifestyle gets copied and pushed to the rest of civilised world so easily... This pattern is becoming a norm in many places among celebrities. In fact, it is not new again.
New age, new order.

FreeStuffsNG:
David is not a Christian
You actually toned down the essence of discipline in the life of a Christian as if the one who knows the truth and does wrong won't receive more punishment and as if open rebuke and disfellowship is mockery or mocking him.
Discipline is for his soul ;
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.(Matt 10:28, NIV).
So in this case, the Church must discipline him. Whatever he does with his personal business or ministry is not the one 2 Thes. 3:6,14 refer to.

I struggle to understand how you found it easy to handle failure than success.

From my life experiences and watching the lives of great mentors, I have learnt that there's no sudden failure or sudden success in life. It's precepts upon precepts , if you do what successful people do, you end where they end and if you do what unsuccessful people do, you will be unsuccessful. That it took the woman calling him out before admitting puts him in a bad spot and all the accusations raised by the woman are so heavy that the Church must investigate and get his reaction. If the woman had not called out, he would have probably continued to lead fellowship throughout this week and later without any remorse or confession.

The Instagram video is not for the church.

It's a lesson to us all to remain careful because we will answer to our actions.

David wasn't a Christian that's why he could fall right? May be you can throw more light, whatever you meant by that.
Your own definition of discipline is for his assembly to be done away with him and never to have anything to do with him again according to 2 Thes.3:6 you quoted? You care to explain yourself again, because it seems you are the only one who knows what you are talking about.

You admitted that his Church must discipline him, what did I write earlier? Or how if I ask should the Church discipline him aside from the things I mentioned earlier (counselling him, suspending him from officiating, praying for him, etc), going by the Scriptures you quoted, "... withdraw yourselves from everybody that walks disorderly..." is that the discipline you are talking about?

I don't have problem with the fact that you don't know that people higher up in pedestals face more temptations than people on ground or low cadre. Maintaining the top is harder than getting to the top... Whichever way you interpret that doesn't ruffle me.

Now about he who has desecrated his marital vows by impregnating someone else, I don't know him personally, I ain't writing to absolve him of his errors. Whatever has led him to that isn't one day's errors, and consequences of errors are real, thus you don't need to feel like I am taking side with him.

My point is that your Scriptural quotation doesn't apply; to discipline a fallen Christian isn't that the Church must withdraw from him or cut him from their gathering and have nothing to do with him again, especially if he wants to repent and admit his errors.
You saying that he did all those willingly is as saying that even if he turns to God truly afterwards and wants to stop his deliberate sins, God won't hear him ever again and Church should cast him.

Let him that stand take heed.

FreeStuffsNG:
O pari.

Now he will start staying at home . His wife (and probably his biological or adopted children since I learnt he doesn't have a child with his wife yet) will be seeing daddy's face more frequently at home henceforth since what keeps taking him out all the time has sent him back home.

Which one is "suspending himself "? He should actually disfellowshiped by his church for walking disorderly and restored when he is truly penitent. He is not the one to suspend and restore himself.

“Withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us... And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed” (2 Thes. 3:6,14).


I remember his grass to grace story on Inspiration FM and truly feel proud of him ,so much impressed by how he came from abject poverty to become a success today. How he threw all that away for an African doll when he has a real Queen at home is still like a shock to me.

Suspending himself is for himself, his personal ministry I think. Another suspension ought to be from his own Church which he attends. That's the way it is done. And the length of church suspension can't be determined by him but by church authority.

2 Thes. 3:6,14 doesn't really apply. There are enough doctrinal Scriptures that talk about how to handle someone who falls, which include prayers for the person, counseling suspending him from officiating and so on, none is about sending him away from the midst of brethren if he truly REPENTS and serves his suspension with remorse to show for it.

Lastly it is easier to criticise someone when it is not you. I am not speaking for him that he did well. Foundation of God is sure, and God cannot be mocked ... However even Bible warms that if anyone falls, a standing brother should help him stand in the spirit of meekness and not of pride, lest he be tempted himself.

There are have been men of God perceived to be bigger than him and have fallen in this country and have truly repented and restored. Criticizing someone after he fell doesn't make the critic a better Christian.
There is no one who can't be tempted ... It takes the grace of God and a whole lot of personal self-denying to keep up, and even after falling, to still return back to God.

It is easier to handle failure than success. Successful people have more doses of temptations than someone still struggling to stand.
David didn't fall until he became comfortable.

Quest7777:

Make dem calm down.
We had a better team than Tunisia & deserved to win. Tactics aside, you cannot rule out BAD LUCK.
1. Tunisia was supposed to beat Gambia in their last game to avoid Nigeria vs Tunisia in R/16, but received red card & eventually lost the match.
2. Their Covid-19 cases actually put us at a psychological disadvantage because many people then expected us to win easily thereby putting undue pressure on us.
3. When you play under pressure, you are liable to mistakes which is the root of Iwobi's unlucky red card & that goal.
4. Buhari factor.

Good one. Balanced views of things.
I like your analysis.

Even the dumbest knows this.

dfrost:
Tactics, tactics and tactics.

Removing two strikers at the same time?

No coach can please everybody.
If you check the thread of Nigeria Vs Tunisia, that's what many were recommending.

And truly how many attempts came from Awoniyi, or even combined with Ihenacho? I am sure if he didn't eventually remove them, people will still blame him. Sadiq and the other Yoruba guy who came in, I checked both were striking... Just my thought.
No coach can please everybody.

humberjade:
Well, it is not just a Nigerian thing... you see politicians even in the US do same; visit bars, barber's shop, etc during electioneering campaigns. The only difference is that, while the US politicians are there to make a huge difference, write their names in gold, and improve the masses' standard of living... their counterparts in naija are there to further impoverish their people and increase the sizes of their own bank accounts.

Even after campaign and being sworn in, US leaders still do most of these things as their schedules permit. It's a normal thing for their Presidents to go for district schools sport festival, visit ailing and sick people in the hospitals, and so on.
Obama was once found in one of his terms fracternising with ordinary citizens in a pub
