DoTheNeedful:
I used to think this way many years ago but my thinking has changed. Infact my friends then used to call me Mr Russia.

US is by far the most developed country in every aspect. This Russia you are hyping does not have the sophistication and economy of California.

Tell me one aspect Russia can compete with the US. Tell me the innovations that has come out of Russia in recent years.

The US is evolving everyday and spending hundreds of billions into research while Russia will go to the media to brag about a missile that can reach thousands of miles away.

The fact that Russia is still largely dependent on oil and gas just like Nigeria, Angola, Saudi, Venezuela says a lot about the country. In recent year US has dominated the technology space. Even China can't stand them. China can only steal their intellectual property to make gadgets and sell to poor countries.

If US wants to crumble that Russia's economy today, they have what it takes. The problem is that countries like Nigeria will also be affected. All the US need to do is to flood the world market with oil. Yes, the US has lots and lots of untapped oil wells.

Most of you hating the US are just jealous. Some of you do it for religious and political reasons while some just do it as a way of sympathizing with the underdog.

US is by far the most powerful in the world.

On a lighter mood, will you select a Russia visa ahead of a US visa? . If no, you are a big hypocrite

See finishing!

Guy your head dey there!

Trump is a muthafukka

Why didn't trump at least extend the olive branch to a dying man?

oh I forgot

He is a megalomania piece of shit.

A republican who left hospital bed to cast and opposing vote to his party and the president's agenda, as a personal vendetta.... Then issues a public statement disinviting POTUS from his burial.

Such a man doesn't deserve any olive branch.

Honour and respect is a two way street.
He lost it the day he joined the destroy-trump party.

Hate Trump all you want but he will serve his 8 years as president and his results are speaking for him. You can't deny the record breaking boom in American economy and lowest unemployment figures.

Trump is a fighter and he fights to finish!

FX:
what are you saying? 35 years in congress! Okay go and contest and see if you will even win a term. He is great. Nobody holy pass. And for barring Trump from his funeral, he is even greater. Who can do that? Other people are praying that the POTUS comes to their funeral.

Spending your whole life as a senator will not make you great. It is the impact and quality of decisions you make that will stand out as a legacy when you are gone. If you don't leave the office then the office will leave you someday...

No great man will take bitterness to the grave. People at that age should learn to forgive and seek forgiveness from all. Trump cannot do much since he made it public that he hates him in life and in death.
Doesn't sound like a great man to me.

chubbyswit:
This guy was a tornado on the flesh of trump. Opposing almost all his policies. I hope they reconciled before he passed on. Rip to him though.
Guys check out my short animation 'moms can make a delicious meal out of nothing'. Trust me, you will like it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFbd306uDqc

They did not reconcile.

It's petty and vindictive for an old man to take bitterness to the grave.

Great military hero yes
Great politician no

All his votes were a personal vendetta against trump and he crowned his hatred by disinviting the POTUS to his burial. Who does that at 81?

Heartbender:
Calabar people right now

What manner of savagery is this!

Justtoodark

You trusted thesame Americans when they said Jonathan's government was corrupt in 2015.

But if they had issued a press release commending Buhari you would have trusted them abi?

E dey your body!

BMC crew and sai barbarians be like "America is IPOB. Buhari' and APC members are saints. Only PDP members are corrupt "

Southwest people be thinking they are wise whereas they are fools.

You support a katsina man and hate a kwara man

Later you will start saying that Kwara and kogi should be part of south west.

Tinubu is selling your tomorrow because he hopes to become president in 2023. Bookmark this my post. When time comes, Hausa Fulani will betray him big time. Saraki knows what Hausas are capable of and he is far smarter

Enice:
you are not a court. The statement is still open to the interpretation of the courts

Which court?

You think the writers of this constitution are dumb like APC?

If you think 30 senators can remove Saraki don't you also think that 30 PDP senators can remove the new senate president? We will keep having a new senate president at each plenary session.

You think those who wrote this constitution did not envisage this? Removing the Senate President was deliberately made harder than electing one by design to avoid anarchy.

You APC stooges are so he'll bent on removing Saraki as if he is Nigeria biggest problem.

Where was this your outrage when Tambuwal defected to APC in 2014 and retained his seat?

Shame on Zombies!

seunmsg:
The only threat to next years election as at today is the refusal of the national assembly to reconvene and pass the election budget. Ekweremadu should tell his side kick, Bukola Saraki to reconvene and allow lawmakers consider and pass INEC budget. That is the only way to eliminate the threat to next years election.

So its OK that bubu refused to sign card reader into law. Same electronic vote that made him president. If there are no plans to rig why not sign it.

Even the acclaimed corrupt PDP gave us a credible election what is saint APC afraid of?

EgunMogaji:
Request denied. I shall write as many lines as I wish to

Long live Nigeria, Long live General Buhari. And long live all the great Nigerians that are making a difference.

I'm not your Bro.

Good morning Bro.

It's a new day!

Let's set the ball rolling. Shall we?

EgunMogaji:
You’re actually worthless to me in reality. Remember you quoted me and until you did you were just another userid.

I know you’re agitated that I don’t simply go away. Well, I will outlast you on this subject

Trust me I’m enjoying this and will continue to enjoy it. And you will patiently wait for my epistles, read it intently and then respond

Again, I’m not your Bro.

PS: go ahead shift the goal post again

Hahahahahaha. Keep it coming bro

Write 15 or more lines of lyrics for each of mine.

Deal?

EgunMogaji:
I’ve been spending at least four months in Nigeria for decades. I spent six months in Nigeria in 2017, four already this year and another three more before years end. I don’t need your permission to move freely around the world like I do. I know that hurts but you’ll get over it eventually. They always do

I have the faculty to judge who is useful and who is not. Are my findings law? Nope, just my opinion.

Flip ke? Na. My position has not changed and will never change. You are too close minded to see past the current suffering that you’re in

More astute people with more wherewithal that you can ever muster have tried and failed

Long live Nigeria, long live General Buhari.

Hahahaha you are so predictable with the long epistle

I can't stop laughing with all the seriousness

Bros relax. You are trying too much to prove yourself and your supposedly "diverse" ability and world view.... Save yourself the stress. It's needless

I'm so enjoying this..... Hope you send the next version of them epistles of yours. Enjoy bro

EgunMogaji:
I am a Nigerian living in and doing business in Nigeria.

I offer no apology that I don’t fit inside a container that you wish to place people that have differing opinions.

Just because you are in Nigeria doesn’t mean that you’re useful to her and not just consuming her resources.

Nigeria is continuously improving and I’m proud of her achievements

PS: Trust me, I’m not your Bro.

You are suddenly back in Nigeria
Welcome back

You suddenly assumed the role of judge and jury to determine who is useful to Nigeria or not.

Now clap for yourself

Hahahahahaha so hilarious. I like to engage your type and make you flip with each mention

ROTF.....

Rilwayne001:
That day he was preparing to run a marathon to Otuoke. Indeed he ran a marathon

Same way bubu is rehearsing how to trek back to daudra. Only difference is that Abuja to daura is way beyond 800m

EgunMogaji:
“Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You" - John F Kennedy.

I continue to be proud of Nigeria and President Buhari.

I applaud your ability to quote John Kennedy.
You must realize that John Kennedy did not run away from American to write that quote abroad.

It's easy to sit afar and buy government propaganda hook line and sinker.

You can't tell how good Nigeria feels better than a Nigerian living in Nigeria.

Kiss the truth bro

EgunMogaji:
I disagree. An educated person who is in control of his faculties should be able to tell positive difference between time periods but in the same sphere.

I have my opinion, you have yours.

Nigeria is absolutely improving.
No
Is it fast?

Is it bringing everyone along?

Is it bringing everyone along at the same space?

Bros no need to be overly academic.
He who wears the shoe knows best where it pinches.

Noticeable improvements yet you have not returned to the country.

You can't be more catholic than the Pope sir

EgunMogaji:
So it’s only people living in Nigeria that can notice improvements?

Noticing from afar is different from experiencing the "improvement" first hand. I'm sure you agree with that

EgunMogaji:
And Buhari has arrested it. We now need to build on it.

Those of us that don’t live in Nigeria are able to see vast improvements on each trip.

Let’s count our blessings.

You don't live in Nigeria but you can see vast improvement.

Well done sir

EgunMogaji:
Nairalanders that love putting Nigeria down as the worst country in the world, see all of una life outside

Nigeria is actually one of the greatest countries on earth. She’s not perfect but she’s not totally rotten.

At least you admit it's partly rotten though not totally rotten. Rot is progressive unless arrested by decisive action

smileyoo:
you sound like un-informed individual, the cross-river state govt know the amount of revenue they 've lost due to absence of the ibo bizmen, which explains these their frantic efforts, aimed at convincing ibos to come back.

You are the uninformed individual every tribe contributes to IGR. No tribe has monopoly of contribution to IGR.

If igbos contribute that much to IGR can we see the last report of IGR by geopolitical zones? Then compare what is generated in each zones. Most of these noise making igbo traders evade tax and then turn around to claim that they contribute the most. Who are you deceiving?

Go and contribute your precious IGR to your beloved state. No one is begging you to stay

horsepower101:
Lagos tax base will suffer massively if igbo tax payers leave lagos. This is something that is well know to the Lagos Government and igbo business community.

Let’s not kid ourselves.

Lagos needs every tribe as much as every tribe needs Lagos and that's my point. No one can hold Lagos to ransome and Lagos can't hold anyone to ransaome.

Igbos have this typically bloated self confidence that makes them overestimate their worth.

Close your shop and see if another will not open his own shop the next day.

Atleast the cross rivers igbo have some balls. All these Lagos igbos will always threaten to leave but can NEVER leave. Stop the bickering please

The southwest is more accommodating to igbos than igbo is to the southwest so who needs who more?

franchasng:
Igbos should not be lured back to Cross River with this gimmick by the Governor.

They were all there when Igbo business men and women were being kidnapped for ransom, robbed and victimized just because the indigenes felt the Igbos are too rich or richer than them the land owners.

But what surprises me is this; an Igbo man doesn't stop u from starting your own business or prospering like him, why no be humble and go close to an Igbo person, befriend him, be genuinely humble and learn from them the principles of business success instead of envying them and robbing/kidnapping them out of envuly, na wa o

Now many people in Calabar including the Cross River State government are feeling the impact of Igbo people withdrawing their business from Cross River. Unemployment has increased there and many commodity price has also skyrocketed as Igbo people withdraw their business and investment from Cross River.

This is a warning to Southwest region always screaming that Igbos should leave their states, I pity u guys because Lagos will become a barren island should 60% of Igbos leave Lagos

Bros nobody is begging anybody to stay. Why all this chest beating? You can leave anyday you want. No one will notice your exit.

You lot sure always over estimate your importance anywhere you find yourself

Iamgrey5:
Saraki is like a magician that has marveled his audience with breathtaking tricks to the extent that he is now starting to believe in his own illusions.

However, he is at crossroads as his next trick might be his last.

He is about to journey into the unknown and he might become a victim of his own illusions.

All bark and no bite.

Common impeachment una no fit

Butterflyleo:
It isn't clear. For it to me clear it needs the insertion of such words as ALL or EVERY or WHOLE or ENTIRE or ENTIRETY.

But that isn't the case. That portion is Ambiguous!

Votes of 2/3 majority of that house does not translate to All, or entirety or whole or every.

Then by by this same awkward reasoning of yours it means that another 37 PDP senators can remove whoever APC installs the next day.

So we keep installing and removing senate presidents.
You think those who wrote the constitution are that stupid?

Making it easier to install than to remove a senate president is intentional to provide for stability and ensure that no minority from any party can just wake up and impeach principal officers.

Keep dreaming...

Op if that is the case then 37 PDP senators will simply impeach the new senate president and install Saraki again.

We will be having a new senate president at each plenary.

Ya'll think that those who wrote "2/3rd of that house " are stupid? It is to ensure a measure of stability.

Let's dance....im loving this drama

Racoon:
Well good efforts being made by the Ambode government anyway.

Which Ambode? This is a world bank project

seunmsg:
There can never be peace in the Senate chamber until saraki is removed. A minority party cannot lead the majority, it is against democratic best practises all over the world. Saraki himself his aware of this obvious truth but he's shamelessly holding the country to ransom due to greed and insatiable desire for power. He either resign honourably or be impeached by simple majority.

You didn't clamour for tambuwal to be removed in 2014. Hypocrisy is your middle name

Babygiwa:
Wow

You seem to think that 2015 is 2019

Buhari was at the height of his popularity and goodwill in 2015 yet he won by less than 2m votes.

But the political calculus has changed and it will be foolhardy to ignore that. Face the fact Buhari's has lost a significant part of those who voted him in 2015

Since you have refused to acknowledge the reality on ground what happened to PDP in 2015 will happen to APC in 2019

dat9jaguy:
Yes,farmers are getting richer now than before.
NPOWER beneficiarlies are also smiling.
Importers of Chinese goods are smiling.
Northeast,despite the occasional raids and bombings,is safer than the recent past(2010-2015).
The list goes on....

Which of the bolded categories do you belong to. Before you conjure phantom achievements let me state the following that has affected everybody including me and you:

1. The money in your pocket today has only 40% of the value it has in 2015. Dollar went from 198 to over 500 before hanging at 360 to date

2 Price of food is Atleast x2 of what it was in 2015

3 NBS confirmed that over 9m jobs have been lost due to trial and error economic policies of APC

4 The fuel you bought for 97 is now 145 pump price and over 200 in many states

5 Cost of transportation and housing has equally skyrocketed.

6 Fulani herdsmen have become untouchable and emboldened by Buhari to kill at will. Bokoharam that is technically defeated just killed 17 soldiers this week

When talking about benefits to the common man, the above are the basic yardstick: jobs security economy.

so judge for yourself. Can you say you were not affected by the above? Leave party politics for once and be realistic

dat9jaguy:
These are verifiable facts but i know you know these things,
but if you don't then don't be a lazy youth,research,read newspapers,ask farmers,these things are right in front of you.

Keep deceiving yourself.

senatordave1:
Actually,apc is pound wise penny foolish while pdp is the other way round.akabio's aides alone are even more than 1000.the 1000 that defected cant give up to 5000 votes.who among them can be compared to nsima ekere? Oron is naturally an apc stronghold and remains so.where were those 1000 when akpabio rigged oron votes for pdp in 2015? Even if pdp arrange 50,000 to defect,it cant equal akpabio's defection

So you are counting on his rigging skills?
Akwa ibom is not Ekiti mind you
