FAKE NEWS! Poland's capacity 3hit back exponentially in the event of a deliberate attack on her soil should not be underestimated.

Russia is currently sweating out with Ukraine launching effective attacks on their soil. Thousands of Russians are fleeing Cremea. Petrol scarcity is hitting Russian towns.

I don't think Russia can afford to directly join Poland in this war. Dare and find out, Putin! Meanwhile, Trump doesn't even have leverage on Ukraine anymore. Those guys have their destiny survival in their hands right now. Fire drones!

I am surprised Obi didn't ignore the hooligan that uses every opportunity to discredit and abuse him. Sowore works for APC.

How does staying idle leads to more crime?

Are you seriously asking this ridiculous question? Indolence and crime are inseparable. Work keeps a normal adult physically and mentally occupied, leaving him with very little room to devise vices.

Meanwhile, the day the system can no longer support free dough, expect looting visitors at your business place and residence.

Why is crime higher among young people, a largely unemployed demographic? Maybe you should read up.

Nickisindigo:
They prefer collecting this than working yet keep shouting foreigners are taking their jobs

I thought it was about jobs and local businesses being taken by foreigners. Abi my eyes dey deceive me? So it was all about getting free public money, not to really contribute anything to the economy.

If laziness was a person, he will be named South Africa. Spits! I cannot remember the last time Nigerians were all over the place protesting for free money from the government. Nigerians are indeed hardworking people.

Na to quickly order one ride sharply before baba change mind.

SmartPolician:
Those thieves at World Bank get their own cuts

That's why they keep approving everything, even though the money will be siphoned by criminals in power.

They are in business to milk money. Africa is a great market, Nigeria in particular.

ViktorCash:
Most of these MFB'S are conduits for money laundering and sponsoring terrorism

Do you own one? Without them, most small businesses won't be in business. Say what you know.

Fidelity Bank which is owned by Hobi...
I wish it were a bankrupt microfinance bank and included here.

Politics should carry a bit of commonsense. As bad as Tinubu, he will not promote the kind of politics you are advocating.

Black Africa must be recolonized!

It needs to first be rediscovered. It's a lost geographical area.

Heaven is a ruse.

Your doubts will be cleared, sadly, too late.

One of the major Fruits of Islam

You are wrong! It is THE major fruit of Islam!

MaziObinnaokija:
Angelfrost dem don send yo XENO bros back home to go prepare for 30 June match protest

The protest is more important than the World Cup competition. I believe they will be pleased going back home to beat the deadline.

Goalllllllll!!!!!! Canada!!!! SA players have a protest to join on June 30th. They have been helped.

omojeesu:
Wicked revisionism!
To project Muslims as victims
And project Islamophobia
When they are till this day
The chief terrorists of the world.
Jihadists will kill many more
Before Jesus returns...

There will arise another Christian crusade on a scale so large that Israel's current campaigns in Gaza and Lebanon will appear insignificant.

I agree with the boldened. Even a potential Father-in-law at the first meeting will ask you what you do for a living.

However, what I do not subscribe to is looking for a man that will be turned into an ATM.
Imagine a case where you're being billed for date transport or date clothes. Some might even want to size you up with saying "I spend xyz monthly to maintain my hair/body". I have never heard of a man billing a date for transport or asking for money to cut his hair.

The signs are always there. Date wighin your financial bracket else you would feel mad when the billings start coming in from those that can't afford to take care of themselves or those that feel your money is simply there for them to consume while theirs is simply theirs.

Transport fare is a blood red flag. Anyone who will not take care of their transportation to date should be discarded. Only do it out of generosity, never on request!!! Once she puts it forward, cancel immediately! She is a freeloader!

CharlesCNG:
One of the biggest mistakes in Nigerian politics is assuming that everyone lives in the same economic reality.

They don't.

The debate over Senator Oluremi Tinubu's comments about akara and kuli-kuli exposed something deeper than politics. It exposed a disconnect between many middle-class commentators and the daily realities of millions of Nigerians.

To someone earning a salary every month, ₦50,000 may look insignificant.

To a widow selling akara, roasted yam, boiled corn, kuli-kuli or cashew nuts, ₦50,000 can be working capital. It is the difference between buying today's stock with borrowed money and buying it outright. It is the difference between surviving and expanding.

Years ago, I personally experienced this.

I gave five widows ₦30,000 each to buy cashew nuts. They repackaged them into smaller bottles and sachets for resale. Within three months, every one of them had repaid the money. We then revolved the same capital to another five women.

That small intervention did not create software engineers. It created sustainable micro-businesses.

That is the point many critics miss.

Not every Nigerian needs a laptop before they can be economically productive. Nigeria's economy is layered. A graduate may benefit from digital skills and technology. A market woman may benefit more from affordable working capital. A roadside food vendor may simply need enough money to increase inventory.

As food prices have risen, another trend has emerged. Demand for lower-cost prepared foods such as roasted yam, akara, bread-and-akara ("akara burger"wink, boiled maize and similar street foods has increased in many communities because they remain relatively affordable. That, in turn, has created opportunities for thousands of small traders operating with modest capital.

This is not an argument against technology or digital empowerment.

It is an argument against one-size-fits-all thinking.

Successful social policy recognises that poverty is not uniform. The needs of a graduate seeking employment are different from those of a widow selling vegetables, or a hawker financing her daily stock on credit.

Politics is ultimately about understanding people where they are, not where we wish they were.

If the opposition wants to become electorally competitive, it must spend more time listening in markets than arguing on social media.

The grassroots are not asking politicians to solve every problem overnight. Many are asking for something much simpler: enough capital to take the next step.

Sometimes, the journey out of poverty does not begin with millions of naira.

Sometimes, it begins with one basin of akara.

Nigeria is neither an akara nor a corn republic. Before now it was rice for every problem. Is this how you and your paid masters plan to repair the economy you have torn apart? Is this how you folks plan to fix inflation? Is this how you folks plan to fix farming crisis occasion by insecurity in many rural agrarian communities?

I won't call the first lady's reckless statement a miscarriage of speech. It is actually their mission. Impoverish the people and render them useless. Then turn them into pliable tools for electoral benefits.

No wonder Nigeria has remained an underdeveloping country. With bought, biased or gullible people like you, this country has reached a dead end. It's an irredeemable entity. In this century, a nation's first lady boldly advocates petty corn and akara business as the pathway out of the damage her husband does to the country daily, and someone somewhere thinks it makes any sense! Omo!!!! Omo!!!

I spit!!!!!

Obi had three whole years to establish his own party, but kept going about like a spineless mouse. I don’t even trust the Dickson and his group. Why Obi thinks those guys are on his side sincerely beats my imagination!

See people wey you dey call allies. Chai! Obi is not a smart politician. Imagine a supposed major opposition candidate not knowing where to ply his trade for three whole years. Common nau! At least you could have secretly founded and funded a party through a reliable proxy.


Let us assume these court hurdles pass, how is Obi going to cope with the national leadership and its untamed vipers? Instead of fighting dirty for the control of LP while secretly setting up another political platform, dude was busy running from one function to another.

It may already be over for Obi, sadly.

And so fvcking what!
What has tinibu as a yoruba president done special for the yrubas?
talkless of a yoruba vice president

Of course he buys petrol for N50 per liter using his Yoruba ID. Damn! Some people are very stupid! Tribalism is indeed a destroyer.

obojememe:
be like U.s dey financially stressed lowkey , just making money here and there , its good to monitize whatever u own thou no b dem send u make u no build your own country

They have to recoup the costs and pressure potential economic migrants are likely to put on their economy. Uncontrolled immigration can drive any economy into a pit.

Do you know how many Indians, Chinese and other foreigners arrive Nigeria daily to snatch the jobs that are not even enough for the citizens? That's one challenge Nigerians will wake up to face someday. South Africa is already facing its own. You may not agree with their approach, but it is frustration speaking out.

voortrekker966:
You are far better than this response. Don't diminish your credibility by supporting nonsense. Why would anyone wish to change posting from a whole Germany to shithole South Africa if not that he was rejected?

His credibility has long been greatly diminished. I used to view him as a professional educator. Perhaps, he was pretending. Sadly, partisan politics is all over his posts these days.

blowjohn:
But the person who interviewed her is a millionaire.

Why can't she foot the bill?

She has played her part by sharing her story with the public. If she lent help to everyone interviewed, she would soon need financial support like them.

Financial security and loose giving do not mix. She don try. Make everybody put small small.

No wonder the guy disappeared from limelight so quickly. Mercy, LORD.

Chachalogo:
Is Nigeria a nation? Or we should go by Awolowo's definition, "...a mere geographical expression"?

Nigeria under the APC will act on insecurity only when a foreign govt acts. So if the US had not sanctioned this terrorist the Tinubu's FG will keep pretending like it does not know where the problem was coming from?

Nigeria is not a country. It is a shop. Do your shopping and leave!

Kobicove:
Most of those guys that make up Agunechemba are very crude and have no business being members of a law enforcement agency!

Welcome to a police state.

UrPapa:
These people criticizing and making mockery haven’t spent a dime watching a Nigerian league for once
They have never added a dime to the football revenue

Maybe they should channel more energy towards addressing despicable officiating typical of the league.

darediamond:
You still use Nigeria Traditional Banks in these era of Neo Banks and Crypto Banks??

Come on, Upgrade!!

Traditional banks are going nowhere. They remain the safest finance holders. Nowhere in the world have traditional banks gone moribund. Only in Nigeria are you guys campaigning to destroy your most reliable financial strongholds.

You folks will learn a lesson soon.

Is this coming from the spokesman of the same NDC where Obi is supposed to be their presidential candidate? These guys will sell Obi before the general elections.

Consequence of joining a gathering where you have zero influence.

Rayjay45:
If I were Sowore, I'd leave Nigeria for good with her mumu people and myriad of problems - go join my family in the States where it's bliss.

Not worth it fighting for fools in a vastly corrupt autocracy.

But well, I am not Sowore and Sowore ain't me.

It seems you do not know that scenes like this one add hard cents to Sowore's account. You think he does for free or love of country? Dude is getting paid for doing his job well. Nor go collect slap and bullet for free bro. Activism? Workshop!

alabo1:
LOL. The west also supported Georgia. Russia is not all out on Ukraine because a majority of Ukraine are ethnic Russians Ukraine will never get back crimes or the other breakaway republics. Anything else matters not to Russia. The current situation also prevents them from joining NATO. Nuff said

This war is Putin's exit door of shame. Nothing about him is mysterious or dreadful anymore. Ukraine used to be afraid to launch attacks deep inside Moscow and other surrounding Russian towns. Not anymore! No more sacred targets.

Putin has lost this one. Zelenksy isn't just fighting a war, he is doing everything to dress down Putin before everyone. So far, he has done a good job at it.

APOPTOSIS:
MARRIAGE is not by compulsion & coercion.
U must earn it. Bedmatics is entirely different from wifing a lady.
Some ladies are good in bed but not worthy to start a home with while some are naturally wired to be home builders. Know this & have peace
It's unfortunate she ended her life this way when she's yet to realize that she's the Prize

Are you justifying the young man's monstrosity? If you are not interested in marrying a woman, there boundaries you shouldn't cross with her. Three abortions constitute one of those devious boundaries.

He is arguably the most despised UK prime minister in recent history. Zero charisma and a chaff carriage amongst world leaders.
