No. This is more frequent in the last one year. Or, they just recently have over 5k airports?

Reaper drone na Ur mate ?

Fighting houthis is a losss Wen U win fight,
Mq 9 is worth 30m dolls, and those guys will use crude tools worth 1k dollars that's given them for free from Iran and bring it down.

Same thing with Israel, Yemen will send wave of cheap missiles and Israel will use multimillion dollars worth of technology to bring it down...

Those houthis are jus there to make U lose lots of money... And then hide in d mountain, Wen U send in Ur drones, they shoot it down
Missiles that reach Israel are not cheap. Some regional forces with capable military forces are supplying high tech weapons to Houthis on low key. Don't rule Iran and Russia out.

Yes it is nice to stand up for Palestine, but the Houthis action is harming a lot of people globally...including folks who are symphatetic to the Palestinan cause.


Well what do I know. Both sides are the same anyway.
But their demand is very simple: Israel and USA should stop killing Palestinians in thousands and stop destroying their houses and lands. Houthis are also targeting ships that carry weapons meant for Israel to continue their act of genocide and war crime

grin grin grin grin

It is a US F-16 just as your TV is probably Korean TV or Chinese TV...lol

In the military insignia is very important.....reporting that a Ukrainian F-16 was shot down is true and very different to US F-16.

Because weapon manufactures are very few....the world knows F-16s are US technology but many countries have bought F-16s sometimes with specific requirements. All F-16s are not the same.

The headline is wrong...it is Ukrainian F-16 that was shot down not US F-16
USA donated most of these weapons and planes to Ukraine recently as a result of the on going war, not like Ukraine bought it from USA. So, it belongs to USA

Bro let me ask you a simple question sir....

Between a man who owns (you meant paid for at once) a clean Toyota camry and a man who is driving a lexus jeep on credit that he pays for over time... Who is richerhuh
Let me laugh here first. You see, it depends on one's mentality for choosing A or B as being richer.
I'm a businessman, if I see opportunity to own a car on credit and pay for it over a period of time, I will gladly choose that even despite the fact that I can pay for it once. The same goes for owning a house, mortgage.
Though, I don't really know the relevance of your analogy to this debate, honestly speaking.

Which food is cheap please??

Burger?
As an African man... Na burger u wan dey chop?

Me for example.... I love African food...
8 balls of fufu sells for 6 pounds plus....
And e no go reach me chop 2 times....
My wife and kids love African food too....
And they are expensive down here....

OK picture this....

I earn 3k per month...
My rent is 1200
Council tax is 150
Energy is 286
Broadband is 31
My phone data is 10
Credit cards is like 120 per month in total....
Then I have to pay 280 on transportation every month.... Trains and buses.... Because I work 3 towns away from where I live...
For my infant, I spend a minimum of 100 per month on formula, fruits, maintenance... Then for my toddler... It's a bit reduced because she eats normal food.... So it's like 50...
Then I spend like 300 for feeding for the house....

Na from there I go send something back home....
Na from there I go buy beer and provisions for the house....
My wife isn't working for now because she's on an unpaid maternity leave.....

So abeg tell me... How is this even easier??
Lol. Are the legal migrants with jobs among them not doing well and even helping their families in Nigeria living fairly well?
We can start comparing the prices of items like bag of rice, tin of milk, chicken and turkey, etc with the wages/salaries in UK/USA and Nigeria.
You want to compare life with death?
Mind you, I'm not pro japa o, but the truth must be said. I'm not a young boy and I haven't seen anyone I knew who travelled out and not doing better financially than when they were in Nigeria.

I urge the former first lady to be a mother and facilitate the release of those former domestic staff. She is bigger than those stolen items and the are definitely innocent ones amongst them.

But is stealing good especially when you are not owed salary
Stealing is bad.
Stealing started from her as she herself was indicted by EFCC for stealing.
Can't say all of them are guilty.
Why blocking the court hearing for six years?
Why choosing punishment instead justice?

When the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) charged her to court for allegedly stealing the sum of $15m, Mama Peace as Patience is generally known said the money was a gift she received over the last 15 years from friends and well-wishers.

Also in September 2016, when Damola Bolodeoku, a former Skye bank official; Amajuoyi Azubike Briggs, a former presidential aide; Trans Ocean Property and Investment Company Limited, Seagate Property Development and Investment Company Limited and Globus Integrated Services Limited were taken to court by EFCC for alleged $31.4 million fraud involving the companies without addresses, Patience, in an application filed at the Lagos federal high court on September 6, with FHC/L/C5/1233/16, claimed ownership of the money.
While the ultimate decision is hers, she should remember the second chance given to her by God who did not count her iniquities and also remember that we came into the world with nothing, and we will also depart with nothing. Someday, both she and the domestic workers will exit this planet and transcend to a place where jewellery and all the mundane things of this world are nothing but immaterial.
We knew that she even stole more than her husband. Her hotel was worth more than 2 billion naira at a time naira was N400 to 1 dollar. Where did she get that much other than the stealing of Nigeria's money?

You do realize 70% of US prison population is filled with people that were caught smoking/selling weed, financial/administrative fraud and other non violent crimes? I know at least 3 people serving 15 years for weed distribution!
And you believed that someone serving 15 years won't take the chance and embrace the associated risks to escape if a slight opportunity presents itself? Or you think 15 years is 15 weeks that they accepted with joy?

At the expense of regular Americans. People have lost tens of thousands in their retirement accounts as a result of the stock market crash. It was a much lesser crime similar to this that sent celebrity chef and author Martha Stewart to jail some years ago and Trump was among th people that mocked her. Couple of decades, Trump and his billionaire friends are moping up stocks from the market which he crashed and nobody is saying anything.

Can you guarantee Trump won't go after these people?
He really wanted to. In fact, he has started but he just realised that it was a mistake like many told him before he started. No alternative to illegal immigrants cheap labour.

Y'all still think we're talking about ordinary man here, today you can be friends, tomorrow he's throwing you in a cell!
We know he's stupiid!

Further, who told you Americans can't do pump attendants and other menial jobs?
They can but they won't. You get it?

More than 90% of American fuel stations don't have attendants, everybody pumps their own gas and for the other jobs such as agriculture, the solution is very simple, USE THE PRISON POPULATION! The government already pays some of them for tasks so this would just be an upgrade, they can even offer sentence reduction for the stable ones.
Yeah, Trump is listening to you. I wonder why he and the clowns surrounding him didn't think of this. Taking thousands of hardened, able body criminals to the farm fields across American states to serve as cheap labours grin grin. It will be interesting to see the cost implications in terms of financial and human lives

grin Trump Trade War got nothing on China, US have more to lose than China.

When the impact starts, Americans will eat Trump raw, while Chinese dare not question their leaders. Chinese will adjust and cope, while Americans will have mental breakdown and start mass shooting. 😂


China is the next world power and they might stay like that for more than 5k+ years.

Mass deportation: US will be the one to lose / feel the hit most (The country was literally built by immigrants)
. Trade War: US will still be at the losing end.

To me, China, Nigeria and South Korea are the world most powerful countries to me . My reason being, these are the only countries the citizen can adapt to harshest conditions without breaking down. External wars can be won, but internal war with your own citizens is one war no leader can win.
I don't know about South Korea but I do know that Iran, Russia and North Korea belong in that category. No pim from the citizens
