oz4real83: Without Nuclear weapons, Russia won't have been in that position, the Ukrainian war has shown it, Russia is more of quantity than quality without nuclear weapons
Global firepower don't rank countries base on their nuclear weapons. Russia is the most powerful country after USA though I think the Chinese will soon take over from them.
louqas: If you believe that Israelis figure , you will believe anything. Their economy is far bigger than that but like most of their matters, they won't tell you the whole truth I guess it's a trait developed over time as a result of turbulence they have faced all through history. No matter how you press an Israeli, or a Zionist they will never agree that Israel has nuclear weapons, even though it's an open secret
Israel economy is not bigger than the figure the op shared with us
Agbegbaorogboye: Intelligent people know you're saying nonsense Explain how government funds education and health tourism of private citizens or shut the hell up Empty mofo
I won't be wasting my time on a thing like you. Intelligent, sensible and mature people with common sense understand me. You alone can keep on wallowing in your ignorance, I don't care.
ElevationD: He absolutely flushed them out. They returned in 2009 under Yaradua.
They were existing before Obasanjo became the president in 1999, they were never defeated before he left in 2007, they were still operating during and after his tenure.
Obasanjo didn't defeat them, he was able to manage the issue like other leaders before him. It was after thier leader was executed by the police after he was captured by the army the issue went out of hand.
Atheistan: So i should be grateful that i bought dollar at outrageous rates with my own money. Wow just wow.. Your 30k salary should be collected back.
I was only telling him where the money is going to.
Agbegbaorogboye: No you're the one who is slow to list people spending their money to go abroad for health or education as part of what govt spends their income on It just shows how unenlightened a lot of you folks that come online to defend govt are It's shameful really I'm sure you're a graduate or at least you see yourself as one
What sort of dumb comment is this? Is this because of frustration or just hunger? You're the only slow person who has a problem with the comment. Intelligent people understand what i'm saying.
Agbegbaorogboye: Just look at the rubbish this one is writing So people going abroad for education and medical reasons use government income to sponsor themselves What school did you attend
Bentacur007: Where are those monies going to? No impact at all Fuel subsidy removed- No impact Nigeria has cleared IMF debt- No impact
The money the government paid back to IMF and other debtors nko? Nigerians traveling abroad for vacations, medical reasons and educational reasons, where do you think the dollars come from?
How about the oil importers, where do you think they source their dollar from? Where do you think Dangote get his dollars when he wants to import crude oil into Nigeria?
casualobserver: The man just commited political suicide!
He made a very foolish move he won't recover from any time soon. He should have learnt from Tinubu's ordeal. It's not Tinubu's fault the DSS do not want him to become a minister, it was some of his careless statements that finished him.
Donu Kogbara, International Rights Activist has said many of Fubara supporters felt betrayed when he said his spirit had left Government house.
Fubara needs to make his mind up; he has maintained a dogged silence except when we asked that we align with Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda. This is not what you expect from a PDP governor who is being attacked by President Tinubu.
"Fubara needs to step up or step down. If he doesn’t want his job, he should give it to his deputy, and if she doesn’t want it, someone constitutional can step in, but preferably not another one of Wike’s nominees; we have had enough of him."
ALTERNATEID: PDP no longer exist in SOUTH EAST. Peter Obi already killed the party in the region. The noisemakers behind Udeh Okoye should shut up and move on, they lost the battle already to Sam Anyanwu.
Sam Anyanwu is no more the national secretary. The governors choose someone else to occupy the position temporarily

An earlier report by Business Insider Africa had erroneously stated that there was only one Nigerian company valued at $1 billion.
The report quoting Visual Capitalist, said there are 5,522 publicly listed firms globally valued at $1 billion or more.
“The United States leads with a market capitalization of $60.1 trillion and accounts for 1,873 billion-dollar companies—commanding 49% of the global market share,” it said.
The report however conflates private companies (Unicorns) with public ones when it came to Africa.
Even at that Nigeria is known to have several Unicorns (private companies worth $1bn or more) including Flutterwave, Paystack, Interswitch and MoniePoint among others.
The Nigeria Stock Exchange (NGX) has an equity market capitalization of $41.9 billion and has risen 5.96% year-to-date.
Motorists and commuters traveling along the Makurdi-Otukpo-Otukpa route to Enugu and the eastern part of Nigeria can look forward to smoother journeys, thanks to the ongoing dualization of the highway.
Recent findings by Idoma Television have shown that the 266.4-kilometer road project, which commenced in January 2024, is progressing steadily and on schedule.
During a visit by the Idoma Television team on New Year’s Eve, workers from the China Harbour Engineering Company, the firm overseeing the construction, were seen diligently working on-site, even during the holiday period.
In Olanyega Edumoga, located in Okpokwu Local Government Area, the contractors have made significant progress, beginning the laying of the stone base on the road.
Several workers on-site expressed their appreciation to the local community for fostering a conducive environment for the construction activities, which has facilitated the project's smooth operation.
The road dualization project is funded through a collaborative partnership between the Nigerian Federal Government and the Export-Import Bank of China.
