You don't understand. No nation wants any threat at their backyard. You did not address zendi remark on Russia putting missiles at Cuba and how the US responded to that threat

Russia has every right to see NATO as a threat.
Before Putin was in power, there was Russia. Russia helped divide Korea, helped killed US soldiers in Vietnam... Russia you see today has always been like this. So saying IF is just a fantasy.

Putin should not look as they are being surrounded. You may call it economic but that's far from it.

Oga Germany, Italy and Japan did all those things and more, so did Ukraine, Latvia, Poland, Bulgaria and the rest. Once they showed they were reasonable democracies, they were accepted in the blink of an eye. The problem is not with Russia, it's with Putin and his old way of thinking. Putin has been given every chance. There is no European country that has moved toward democracy and not been accepted into the club. Putin has been spying, hacking, destabilising Western democracies for 2 decades while they were trying to build bridges with him.

What he says about Cuba means nothing. None of those former Soviet countries host nukes so he is talking rubbish. All Russia's junior brothers simultaneously joined NATO when they joined EU because Putin is paranoid and pained, and they need to secure their hard earned democracy and financial prosperity from the Bear looking to destabilise them. Look what's happening with Finland and Sweden now. Did they provoke anything? They saw how the madman who is always issuing nuclear threats impinged the sovereignty of another country while threatening them, and they want to feel safe. Putin has shot himself in the foot again, expanding Russia's border with NATO by another 800 miles by making Finland feel unsafe. Per Zendis foolish logic, Finland deserve invading for posing an existential threat to Russia now. Countries expect predictability of behaviour from one another, only two foolish countries in this world consistently threaten others with nukes - Russia and North Korea. You keep threatening nukes and invasion, which of your neighbour won't run to join an alliance that guarantees mutual security?

zendi:
What do you even mean by this bolded?
The ICBM was invented in 1957 by the Soviets, and did not stop the same Soviets from attempting to place missiles by Americas bedroom window, Cuba, in 1962.
Since then nations had built submarines, aicraft carriers, long range bombers, and established foreign military bases, all to project threats as near to their adversaries as possible.
Sometimes do pause the talkativity and fact-check yourself.

Stop trumpeting rubbish from the Russia algorithms you live in.

Even Poland that is removed from Russia doesn't host nukes.

Nobody has problem with Russia. Putin is a paranoid dictator. If Russia democratise tomorrow, they will be welcomed with open arms into NATO and the EU. Germany literally compromised itself to draw Russia closer toward the West but your paranoid dictator whose algorithms you live in is still moving with Soviet mentality

When all your junior brothers run elsewhere for protection, you are the bully. Putin would love to have several Lukashenkos surrounding him, but when the people decide their fate, he gets uncomfortable and paranoid. That's why he and Lukashenko are Europe's last dictatorships. Europe draws redline at dictatorships. Two World Wars attest to that. A democratic Russia is welcome in Europe. What you mean to say is democracy is an existential crisis to a dictator.

Anybody you feel should be there that isn't there? Anybody you feel shouldn't be there that is there?

I thought I would see at least one of Mount and Alisson, I don't think Saka deserves to be there ahead of them.

Ward Prowse out, Thiago in

I won't argue too much with Saka but Bernardo deserves consideration

Mount never reach for PFA

No need Mane joining in, he will split the vote for Salah.

GloriousGbola:
These guys forget we were there. There were actual death threats made to Seun because it was open season on Islam back then.

Remember when Seun set auto correct to change muslim to great one

I don't remember that cos I no dey enter that section. Seun gast do wetin him gast do for his safety and for his business. FG can ban this website at any time for inciting religious tension. If a whole Twitter can be banned, who be Nairaland

Capaldi:
In my opinion established players like Trent, Rice etc should not be making lists like this. Having 23years old men in young player of the year is silly and defeats the purpose of the award.

Havertz is still eligible for this list. Where him dey?

raumdeuter:
8yrs? Thats for someone who doesnt know how to use power

8days and I will give you the details of how to

Assume power day 1
Change all the heads of service day 2

Seize all his properties and all his associates Day 8

I can even add some jara for 2 days

Putin is dealing with people way richer than Dangote steady and nothing dey happen to am

This is absolute power

Same reason Hakan Sukur is driving taxi in New York now after Erdogan give am wotowoto

Russia and China are different beasts compared to democratic countries of the west.

The west tried to use that thinking of the Rich controlling the Political class in their won country and tried to use that against Russia, by sanctioning Russian billionaires. And the fact that it didn't work only point to the fact that the political class controls the rich , just like it's happening in china.

We are still looking for Jack Ma. Nigga has been on ghostmode for over a year since Xi Jinping dealt with him.

Go and read how Putin finished the Richest men in Russia Khordokovsky and Berezovsky

Business men should be quiet even in Democratic countries, especially when the political environment is full of bile and hatred. . . . much less an autocratic system like Nigeria

BlueMann:
Perisic to Chelsea?

Where did this even come from?

Free transfer, no problem. Decent wingback cover for two years

Joezinho:
Seu.n alleges to be an atheist but he acts like a Jihadist doing everything to enforce islamization..

Christians must swear an oath before commenting on an Islamic thread but Muslims are free to run amok on other religious thread, especially the Christians own..

I wonder what the fvck is the rationale behind this stupid shiit.. Dude must be a sick wacko...

Business and violence don't go together. He is just a businessman

lordfalcao:
they asked you yes or no question. You begin write explanations

You no fit talk say klop better pass guardiola?

Just like Di Matteo pass Pochettino abi?

donjazet:
Ibime I think this is false equivalence.
The basic difference between a Christian and a Muslim is basically in how both their main figures lived thier lives. Yes, both religious books have verses that explicitly supports and approve violence and bloodshed BUT when you compare Jesus Christ and Mohammed, you see a difference in how they lived their lives and espoused followers to.

For example, Mohammed was a crusader, one who physically engaged in wars and bloodshed for the sake of Islam, his followers also did the same thing.

On the other hand, Jesus was a pacifist till death, even when his followers wanted to physically fight for him in Gethsemane when the Romans came to arrest him, he told them not to fight anybody. Jesus Christ NEVER killed anybody or approved the killing of anybody unlike Mohammed who fought wars in conquests and shed blood.

Also important to note that Jesus was a virgin till death, never married, never had sex, always preached about keeping the temple of Christ holy. Which is why you have some sects of Christianity directly following that doctrine.

On the other hand, Mohammed loved them bitches married 5 wives, fvcked a 9 year old kid and married her.

Jokes aside, I'm highlighting how the actions of these 2 spiritual figures inspire the actions of their followers. Jesus Christ was a pacifist till death, Mohammed was a warrior who killed people but sometimes advocated for peace. Make of that what you will.

I imagine that if I posted this on a certain Whatsapp group like Deborah did, you guys will be seeing my burnt corpse by now and will be foolishly debating whether I was suppose to say these in a my own class group.

As long as you no talk this one for Sokoto, no problem. I like to stay away from offending people based on their religion, race or sex. There's no gain in it.

donstan18:
Straight to the point...

Pep and Klopp, who’s bigger and better?

Gimme Klopp anyday for most teams

But if I have a Sheikh funding, I'll take Pep

Pep is a specialist at efficiently defeating teams when he has the better players

When you are an underdog club, you go for someone like Klopp

That's why Pep will get 3 points from the likes of Wolves, Everton and co all day. But when the gulf in quality between players is shortened in the UCL, he fumbles. This no be today story, same thing happened at Bayern. Na just SAF naivety to play them toe to toe with inferior players gave him his UCL. Chelsea already dumped him out if not for Ovrebo, and Inter did the same. When he went to Bayern, we saw how Madrid and Barca disgraced him when he faced teams with better players. His strength is just in maximising the gulf in quality between players, but when quality is not on his side, he is weak.

donstan18:
Since Klopp joined Liverpool...

23 players have left.
44 players have been sold
43 players have been signed.

All in just 7 years, yet he has just one EPL.

This is the highest overhauling by a manager in football history, yet his fans will troll Pep for overhauling and then call Klopp “Building from the scratch”.

It’s overhauling when it’s Pep, but it’s building from the scratch when it’s Klopp.

1 billion vs 500m

How many world class players will you buy for the difference?

All fingers are not equal

Havertz10:
some religious lunatics were posting religious stuff in the group and she posted a voice note dismissing its relevance in the group

Given that Mohamed is sacred to them, they will find such remarks offensive

These were her remarks and amusingly she said it in Hausa for that matter

Holy Ghost Fire, nothing's going to happen to me, you should know what to be sending to this group, it's not that the group was created to be sending nonsense, the group was created for posting things like, test assignment e.t.c. not the nonsense you are posting, no be only prophet, you are coming to play on me

Hmmm. . . .I didn't see that prophet part

She suppose get more sense. Na the hotheadedness of youth be that

Havertz10:
I just caught up with the Deborah issue

I’m so fixated on geopolitics

My take on this issue is simple, while what happened was unjust, Deborah was very naive posting those kind of sentiments in that group, knowing fully well that she was based in sokoto and they know her location, I get the outcry but you can’t play with fire and blame fire for burning you

I have almost gotten attacked for my religious opinions by matured people, these days I tend to gauge the environment before I air my views

what happened was wrong but you can’t say that it’s unexpected given the way religious fanaticism is practiced there, you can’t blame an Indian for acting like an Indian


All these virtue signaling that is propagating over the internet is amusing, 99% of you rebuking what happened to her don’t have the nerve to travel to sokoto to air those views.

I haven't seen anything she said that was blasphemous. Would you care to enlighten us?

Out scoring isnt the problem,at someone scoring a consolation goal after his team had been battered by 4 goals to nothing is still said to have scored. We want impact,Lukaku last I heard had a better epl stats than Drogba but point me to epl title,now unto messi,why was messi not winning matches for Argentina abi his matching winning ability only end for spain? Lastly lampard is nothing without Drogba that dragged him to those titles.

Stop making noise oga. Lampard and Drogba both equalised in UCL finals. Drogba got sent off and forego his penalty in the 2008 final so we can say Drogba prevented Lampard from winning 2 UCL.

Fraudiola want see whether Haaland and KDB go win am UCL next year so him fit jump ship. If he no win again, another 3 years bondage for Sheikh

DontBullshitMe:
Where that guy wey dey shout collect your PVC?

The game is rigged yo!

So, Atiku made a post condemning the girls death on Twitter and deleted almost an hour or two afterwards. No single word from all the top Presidential aspirants too.

If a Presidential aspirant can be so scared of offending a section of a country that they will not even condemn an openly devilish act such as this, I seriously doubt their intention.

At least, if anything, opposition party should speak up but no they are scared.

Atiku too dey jump jump. Most of those Almajiri support death for blasphemy and na dem dey vote pass. By the time all the Imams twist story and broadcast Atiku matter for all the mosque say him support wetin the girl talk, he no go win one vote for North.

But before I go, I must hail the founding patron of ApariSports, Elisha, who killed a group of children for calling him Apari

Hello Amuotu, help me confirm this.

Just saw it online now, how true is this.

No offense!

Oga Bible talk pass this one sef. Na him make I kuku no carry religion for head, let every man practice him belief in peace, nobody holy pass.

The one wey trip me for bible na Passover wey God say him go kill every first born child of Egypt to change Pharaoh mind to let him people go. I kuku ask myself say why God no just kill the Pharaoh and spare the little children wey no commit anything.

What of the one wey God tell Saul say make him kill everybody for one country, na him Saul spare some sheep and goats and lost favour to David. Na genocide we dey call those matter these days oh.

This girls story remind me of my time in NYSC in Bauchi. 2004 During US election. We were debating US elections and I was supporting George Bush. I didn't know a man who was there to come toast one of our female corper na Local Govt worker.

The guy was boiling as he was hearing my defence of Bush, He later joined the debate He was for Kerry because they felt Bush was anti Islam and killing Moslems

some months later there was a parade of something like Hisbah police Shariah people where teenage boys, young and old men wear uniform to chant anti West song and burn American plus Israel flag.

They were carrying flags of Hasan Nasrallah as the hero, caricatures of George Bush and Ariel Sharon with bodies of donkey before burning the picture

I saw this guy I argued with in uniform with them, I just quickly hid somewhere before the guy will point me

BlueMann:
Considering Salah's goalscoring form and Spurs last two fixtures, Son will surely fancy his chances of taking the golden boot. Just one behind now.

I wouldn't bet against him doing it.

Salah go need use Southampton put numbers on the table

Almost all my former colleagues don japa finish to Canada around 2014 to 2017. Wetin exchange rate don do cross border transactions no be playplay

Those earning $2k are the best among my colleagues wey stay o. As in Directors for multinational firm, A lot of them are earning way less. some under $1500 a month. Some even dey manage 500K

The 100M wey APC use do ticket, na wetin afrodoc fit buy for everyone here with his 4 weeks shift

I just thank God we never fell into the trap of moving to Naija after graduation when many diasporans were doing it and salary was competitive when converted. Some guys never made it back in good shape, but a small percentage did hammer.

raumdeuter:
I tell am say 380k this time last year na 1K dolls, today na about $600.
Let me tell you a personal story, I left Nigeria over 14yrs ago, My salary was 240K which was around $2k, My colleague for the same firm chopping promotion steadily plus merit increase for the last 14yrs still earns about $2K5 in todays money.

Your colleague is even doing well. Most are faaaaar behind where they were 14 years ago. One guy ran from UK to join Etisalat on N25m annual salary in 2014 which was £100k salary then while keeping his family here and supporting them handily. Same guy started crying two years later that he can't support his family from there when the money drop to £40k. Baba was stuck there till last year.

You would soon tell us what lamfraud won without Drogba .

Lampfraud outscored Drogba 6 seasons out of 8.

You can't accuse someone of being carried along while outscoring the so called carrier.

All those Iniesta ey ey dribble only sweet after real matchwinners like Messi and co have scored 3 goals to finish the game. Take out the real match-winners and those dribbles will be as infuriating as Okocha dribbling whole Denmark team while Super Eagles is 4-1 down

raumdeuter:
I am at this point too. For current Naija, Anything goes. And I'm beyond being surprised

I still spoke to someone last week who was planning to come build mansion in Naija, His excuse was that if one Naija pastor in Ukraine can lose everything in Ukraine, that means No place like "home". I come ask am say bros, If place go scatter for inside your mind you think America will go to war like Ukraine before Nigeria?
Later he switched it to "well he can be renting and making money from it", I asked him what rate of returns will make sense in Naija when exchange rate will chop everything

I just told him, Its your money, you have a right to spend your money anywhere you want without trying to give excuses to justify it. Just like people who drink champaign instead of Ogogoro, buy Mercedes instead of Toyota dont have to explain themselves

That girl wey dem kill no be today, Na regular thing for North. Dating back to when I was a youth, Dem go just start one rumor about someone commiting blasphemy before you know it 1,000 people don die just like that.

I don tell story of my guy wey carry £200k build 6 flats in Ikorodu circa 2010/2011. Na the same rent story my guy tell and also not wanting to have mortgage. After Naira gyrate from $150 to $600, the kain rent that guy go dey receive from those places, he will just tell them no need sending it to UK again, but to keep it in Naija, let him be using it to help family members and chop suya when he visit. Till today that guy never buy house for UK.

How can you be unproductive and be winning MOTM when it matters most?

How can you be unproductive and will have this number of players trying to take the ball from you as seen in the picture below?

How can you be unproductive and be starting a world cup match scoring the only goal?


If my memory serves me right Spain had only three goal scorers in 2010 world cup David villa,puyol and iniesta not xavi,not silva,not Torres but iniesta.

If your memory serves you right, Xavi assisted every goal Spain scored from 2nd round to Semifinal

Rest your picture and show us productivity please. We can see this picture in any match Italy play, no be Catenaccio again?

The APC were termed as Islamic terrorists and called supporter of APC by the ruling party then
There was even a track recorded by some people titled "Buhari Show your certificate"
https://www.nairaland.com/2077816/video-buhari-show-certificate

I think the account owner has removed it from youtube

Yes AIT led the charge for the PDP propaganda which was paid for by Dasuki as part of National Security consulting to Dokpesi

I hope dem pay Kaycee rights for that song sha, that song hit during election. Dem suppose employ that guy again for this election

As per BlueRaydick original post, the difference from 2015 and 2011 is that Jonathan was able to get Kano and core North Governor's to split at least 20-30% of their state votes to him in 2011, nothing to do with South turning back on him. Godswill in AkwaIbom delivered massively for him in 2015, their turnout rate to PVC issuance was almost unbelievable. If any accusation could be made.about South, it's that Uduaghan dragged his feet in Delta (due to.GEJ and Ibori beef) while Amaechi opposed in Rivers but Amaechi could not make a dent in Rivers numbers as GEJ had Federal might, militants, and the whole population working for him.

GEJ won 2011 because he bribed the Governors handsomely with the Excess Crude Account and won their loyalty even in the North for that election cycle, and he managed to pay Tinubu to support him last minute. However South-West does not win election because they are too democratic and their vote is always split. The route to victory for a Southern candidate is always to win SS and SE by 95% and bite 25-30% into the triple KKK Northern States which a favourable Northern Governor can do for you whilst still keeping face with his contituency. Smaller Northern States are easy to buy out, while South-West will always be 60-40 either way.

Like Joezinho said, Both parties in 2015 did propaganda, Reno, FFK Okupe Abati on the PDP side, Lai, Sowore Omatseye on the APC side
If na newspaper, PDP was using ThisDay, Sun, while APC was using DailyTrust and The Nation
If na TV, PDP was using NTA and AIT while APC was using TVC

There was even a series on AIT dedicated to ruining Buhari and Tinubu. I think the Tinubu own was Lion of Bourdillon
Even churches were not left behind, While RCCG was blessing APC, Winners was deploying the anger of heaven on opponents of PDP

I saw the first 5 minutes of one famous poorly edited video PDP put out painting Tinubu and Buhari as jihadists. I believe most Nigerians would have watched that video cos FG paid for that video on every major channel. I think AIT made the video
