Foreign AffairsRe: President Donald Trump Impeachment Updates by Jimi24: 5:03am On Dec 19, 2019
Zuorom:
Dem Rep Gabbard : I could not in good conscience vote for impeachment because removal of a sitting President must not be the culmination of a partisan process, fueled by tribal animosities that have so gravely divided our country.

Armaggedon:
hey easy! trump will complete his tenure and win reelection. Biden will be investigated. mark it.
The senators deciding this; Romney, Rubio, McConnel,Cruz and many others dont like Trump.
They Will allow him finish his term but BAN him from holding office after.

They are all interested in running for President.
They have all been insulted by Trump
Trump is holding populist power over them and they dont like it.

The most amateurish thinking is to imagine that any active establishment politician in the US loves Trump.
They dont and the democratic party just handed them this opportunity
Foreign AffairsRe: Impeachment Is NOT Removal by Jimi24: 3:32am On Dec 19, 2019
The impeachment offence stays. He will be tried for it after office.

The republican controlled senate can remove Trump. They have said they won't but they only have an 8 seat majority.

You know the guys Trump is now depending on ; Marco Rubio, Mitt Romney, Cruz, Mitch McConnel and many women senators that Trump has insulted and threatened in the last few years.

Trump has now to BEG them. Interesting stuff.

After the impeachment process we will see a different Trump OR he simply resigns because he cant trust himself to play the new game. The Trump brand will change and hence be damaged forvever. He will resign I am sure.
Foreign AffairsRe: President Donald Trump Impeachment Updates by Jimi24: 2:56am On Dec 19, 2019
Just for education, IMPEACHMENT IS IMPEACHMENT. The offence remains and after office Trump could go to jail if not pardoned by the president replacing him.

Trump is actually the most stupid and uneducated President in history.

What the Senate is going to do is judgement.- Remove or not remove.

Most people expect Senate to vote DONT REMOVE from office but remember this;
Its a 53:47:2 Senate.

Republican majority is just 8 seats.

One interesting thing about Republicans in the senate, Trump has INSULTED about 20 of them including Romney, Cruz, McConnel, Marco Rubio and most of the women senators.

As I said before, the most stupid person ever to sit in the Oval Office is Trump.

Trump said, Mitt Romney was grovelling for his support, we will soon see who will grovel.

The republican establishment would be the winner of this thing. They will finally bring the idiot in the white house in line.

There can be as many impeachments as there are impeacheable offended. I actually think this orange buffoon would be resigning soon

Absolutely un intelligent. IBB regime built the NASS complex probably more than 35 years ago.

Why are you putting the devilishly corrupt PDP into it.?
Did PDP build anything for Nigeria?

The exchange rate difference and inflation worked backwards should have given a figure still lower than N30bn anyway but that is not the point.
We should not be renovating the assembly complex now.

I assume that an affordable Frigate for the NN would be possible but without an expensive radar, fitted only with some short range ASM/SAM missiles and a very basic combat mangment system.
We should refit / upgrade Aradu. The figures being quoted as the estimate of doing the work are a scam. I am of the opinion that $130m should be enough for life extension of structure, new radar, ASW equipment and other systems
People were trying to steal funds that was why the figure was so high

It will eventually be made known well into construction just like the LPD. We knew they were planning to buy a LPD but didn't know construction had started until the keel was laid. So it will be with the Frigate. We know they are planning one, so............. for ever the optimist grin

Remember, it isn't Damen marketing it by giving it to the CNS, but the CNS presenting it to a Governor. He wouldn't do that with a product Nigeria doesn't own or intend to own.
Nigeria paid for LST over four years. It was in all the budgets. No secret. There is no budget for a frigate. Not even ECA money. ECA probably paid for some Lynx choppers

Ibadan is a military barracks turned refugre camp turned metropolis.
The mighty warriors - generals and field marshals who founded and ruled over the town over four centuries never once broached the subject of claiming a crown. Such is the respect Yorubas have for tradition and the original crown wearing royalty established by Oduduwa
Science/TechnologyRe: Two Big Cats Killed In My Bedroom After They Engaged In Serious Fight by Jimi24: 10:25am On Dec 16, 2019
If they are both male cats then one has infringed on the others territory clearly marked by his urine.

If one was male and the other was female, it was love making.

If you joined hands with others to kill two noisy cats, let me tell you the consequences.
1. You just increased the rat population and reduced the standard of hygiene in the neighborhood
2. You have given free invitation to snakes to come hunt the rats that is food for them and taken away the cats that would have scared or irritated them away.

Finally this poor educational standard that makes young Nigerians act without consideration for the environmental impact and balancing of the ecosystem is a serious handicap.

List of ethnic groups in Rivers state


1. Ikwerre
2. Ijaw (Kalabari,Okirika, Andoni, Ibani, Degema, Engenni, Ogbia, Epie/Atissa)
3. Ogoni (Eleme,Tai, Khana, Gokana)
4. Etche
5. Ekpeye
6. Ogba
7. Igbo (Egbema, Ndoki and Asa)
8. Ndoni


Since creation of Rivers state, number 1 ,2, and 8 have governed the state. The rest are yet to have a crack at the governorship position.
The Ikwerre out of greed for power has held the entire state down for 13 straight years and counting now.
In a state with 8 ethnic groups, the Ikwerre had the temerity to do 8 straight years in Amaechi and still going for another 8 straight years with Wike, with no regard for the other Eight ethnic nationalities in Rivers state. Just imagine the North going for another Eight years after Buhari, and you get the idea of exactly what Ikwerres are doing in Rivers state.

Let's not get things complicated.
Rivers state people are some of the dumbest human beings. Kept returning PDP to power. See what you now have.
Ikwerre people dominating for over 20 years.
Wike is governor of Portharcourt. What a shame?
Agriculture undeveloped
Industry undeveloped
Education a mess.
Health, Amechi tried but Wike wrecked it.

100 flyovers in one city in a state where youths are kidnapping and engaging in cultism and pipeline vandalization every week due to lack of jobs.

There will be hello to pay soon and the blame will not go to Buhari. You got everything you wanted -13% deprivation, Amnesty, NDDC, PTDF, PDP, Jonathan, Mama Peace...now look at the cards remaining in your hands.

This is the third time I have watched the video clips of this Asari Dokubo.

Pls what's his educational qualification? He appears very lettered, calm, intelligent and composed. Also, his messages may not be of interest to me, but he always present them in ways that appeal to unbiased listeners.

Very much unlike the leader of these ipob miscreants. How he ends up having followers still beats my imagination. huh
Son of Rivers State ex DPP and judge. Asari is upper class Kalabari..If you rule out the militancy and the occasional selfishness he could be a good spokesman for his peoples and an articulator of their aspirations. However most of these Rivers State guys are visionless egoists and Asari is one of them. They absolutely dont have a vision in their minds of how much if a developed, well developed paradise their land can be and it is a pity

To be honest, these guys are just devising new means of looting/expending the security budget.

Heck! Nobody cares whether an equipment is made in Nigeria or not! In fact, there's no time for all such experimentation - they have only one job and that's to procure and provide for those guys out there in the scorching heat and dry desert all that they need to stay alive/win the war.
For army equipment, the issues are tue largest number in the shortest possible time. Because no manufacturer of MRAPS has a store full of hundreds of them, Nigeria had to make do with "little from each of many sources.
Now with local manufacturing or better still local integration / packaging we can standardize on a large of just two types.

Even Nigeria Police need some MRAP-like vehicles so lets plan nationally for 500 Ara and Ezugwu for the next two years.
That's how a serious country handles procurement

Werent those vehicles presented during NADCEL 2018 coming from the same batch?
Please download Nigerias budget for 2018 and 2019 as a .pdf file from budget management office website. Go to ministry of defence and check under its capital projects for A vehicles. Add them all up for the years. There was also more than $200m released to Army from $1bn ECA so I know it is difficult to track but there will be more than 200 MRAPs, TCVs, IPVs. TAVs in inventory in the next one year. 35 new tanks MBTs are also coming

PoliticsRe: Why We Can't Avoid Borrowing- Fashola, Zainab, Saraki by Jimi24: 1:17pm On Dec 11, 2019
SoNature:
If Nigeria can be borrowing this much now that the country can sell crude oil to make money, I wonder what becomes of the country when crude oil becomes worthless in the future.

With Tesla and other hi-tech automakers launching electric cars, there's a problem. Energy companies are investing and researching into renewal energy sources. To date, Nigeria cannot boast of any achievements despite trillions of petrodollars earned from decades of oil boom.

Anyone who tells you that Nigeria has a bright future is only deceiving you because this country is already the world's capital of poverty - even with enormous crude oil sales.

No doubt, the future generation will suffer more because we have not left anything significant on ground for them to build on.
Nigerias debt will be repaid from revenues generated in the agriculture, agro allied, ICT, solid minerals and new economy industries. Oil is dead and Nigeria will he dead with it if we dont borrow to do infrastructure. The loan manageable. EU countries have average of 60% loan to GDP ratio. Most of them dont even have the young people to work to repay the loans.
PDP supporters are some of the most cowardly, natively parochial, empty headed party supporters in.history.
For 16 years they watched their party run the country aground. OBJ the bully and GEJ the weakling had the money to do all the railways, roads, power and LNG. They joined in looting it all only to have their local breed unexposed supporters complain.about infrastructure loans in 2019.
Do you actually want Nigeria to dig itself out of this curse?. If you do, let me be blunt with you. The only answer is Buhari 's current policies. He is going after the hard things (border closure), the big things (infrastructure) and the painful.things (war against corruption) . It will hurt but so does JAMB until you become a university student and later a graduate. The alternative is worse.

This is so ignorant. Of course there is a deep state. They are usually knowledge -able current or ex civil servants, sometimes connected to the security services. Every country needs a deep state because of the permanence as opposed to politicians who come and go every 4 years. The deep state never runs any country aground. Politicians can be bought. Deep state is more infrastructural. The deep state in the US is more important than the President.

I dont know about Tinubu's status.
He won't be President of Nigeria.
I just want to counter this rubbish about deep state running Nigeria aground. There are powerful people in Nigeria who LOVE the country more than most and bleed when it bleeds. Most od them cannot join politics because of its dirtiness and mediocrity...so there will always be a deep state and thank God for them

Big Foot from China - 120

Reva from South-Africa - 43

Ara from Nigeria - 40

Ezugwu from Nigeria- 38

Streit typhoon from Canada - 177

American donated - 24

How is this number many?

Egypt got nearly 1000 MRAP APCs from USA for Free.

Some of you people need to research small abeg.
US 24 is many
There are Chinese donations.
The major point though is no Chinese, Canadian or SA MRAP we got was up to $500k. The US were buying MRAPs with a lot of development costs charged in during Iraq war. The costs made it into wikipedia and boom the myth of $800k MRAP was born

This is dunce level thinking. Nupe is more related to Yoruba than Fulani. Your post is just as stupid as saying Yoruba and Ibo are the sane thing because they are Southern Nigerian.
You guys are raining curses on your own heads feeling persecuted (hence inferior) to Fulani. May you wallow in it to your hearts content.
Fowler is a foremost tax expert but he made mistakes (maybe some acts of corruption) and his tenure has not been renewed.
