APC has brought a form of dirty politics that can destroy any country within a short period of time......the earlier they're out the better because the rot gets deeper with each passing day.

You guys and motivational speaker frame of mind: the last is yet to be heard of Donbas. And who told you he has succeeded in keeping Ukraine forever from going NATO? If anything, the bully has made it a nationalist task that must be accomplished by Ukrainian. Have you ever asked yourself why a huge majority of Ukrainian population are behind you Nigerian dodoyos used to mock as a comedian. Comedian has been holding almighty Putin by the balls for some four years plus now. You guys are so deaf and dumb dynamics of conflict and aggression. Na so una push Fubara enter soak away.
Who is Fubara? undecided.

Nonetheless....come back and quote me when Ukraine dares to join NATO...as for now take all this your tales by moonlight where they'll be believed. grin grin grin

They say the first thing that suffers in a war is the truth.

Fighting against a draft isnt new. No one wants to die, or become a multiple amputee, or return with PTSD.

The Russian Ukraine warfront is brutal, very brutal. Many times, they are not fighting men but drones,which makes very frightening.

I would have supported Ukraine giving Russia some territory it wants, so as to end the war, but Zelensky is having none of it. He might also be cajoled by other European countries worried that they may be next.

However, the tide may be turning to Ukraine favor. Ukraine is winning off the pitch.

It is bombing oil facilities in Russia which are the lifeblood of the Russian economy and accounts for at least 50% of its budget. It has led to fuel shortages at pumps and if it gets worse, it could lead to protests in Russia itself.

The US is probably 100 times more powerful than Iran but it just America with a bloody nose. Russia may be much, much powerful than Ukraine, but has been held back due to help from the US and Europe, and also to the tenacity of its people.

Putin should swallow his pride. Dullard Trump just did so. The sooner Putin does, the end of this war would be certain.
You should know that this war didn't just start because Russia wanted some of Ukraine's territories.....firstly, there was a western led coup years ago that removed the government and replaced it with a pro western government which led to the lost of Crimea after the citizens there opted to go with Russia.... secondly, Ukraine have been shelling and bombing the region that has a lot of Russia speakers to discourage them from dreaming of secession..there used to be heavy military presence in that area before Russia invaded. Their case is similar to how the Nigeria government treats Biafra.

Lastly... Russia have made it clear that NATO shouldn't expand close to it as they're a security threat but same US whom threatened fire and brimstone when Cuba tried to enter a NATO like military alliance with Russia suddenly remember countries should have the right to chose whom they want to associate with. grin.

The west just views Russia as a threat to their hegemony and they're trying to weakens it...nothing more...if they had succeeded up next would've been China.

Everybody knows that Ukraine is not winning....but they are putting up a good resistant towards Russia war machines and they have been success so far for more than 4 years.

Force conscription is normal in wars. The Russians are doing the same even going as far ar recruiting north kporeans and
Lol which Russia is doing forced conscriptions?.....FYI North Korea and Russia have a military alliance and Kim sent some soldiers to help Russia deal with domestic issues when some overzealous Ukrainian troops crossed the Russian border and also to gain military experience and not because Russia lacked manpower....BE INFORMED!!!.

He doesn't know who Russian are, very tough, resilient people who would hardly budge even to a bigger opponent talk more of comedian and his band of 30+ war mongers.

Russians will soon sack Vladimir Putin because of war fatigue and damages.

War has never been a good adventure.
Stop following propaganda.... Russia is hardly fatigued from this war...they have enough energy to face NATO now self if needed.

Foreign AffairsRe: Ukranians Riot Against Forced Conscriptions, Beat Recruitment Officers (Videos) by Mattswaggz: 2:45pm On Jul 09
Lol... Propaganda always has its limits...all those Ukraine is winning propaganda and Russia are losing thousand soldiers daily doesn't translate to results on the battlefield. grin

Mr comedian has literally led most of their young population to their death and forceful conscription age has been increased to enable conscription of older men and also reduced on the other side to enable conscription of younger men as well while the population of those who pushed comedian to provoke the war are safe in their country...even the comedian himself and other top officials have been acquiring properties around the world living large and always carrying his begging plates around asking for more donations to enjoy his life...good thing Ukrainians are waking up and realizing whom their main enemies are. cool

An alliance of 30+ big/decent economy countries plus a rated Ukrainian military(pre war terms) couldn't stop Putin.....RUSSIA NA BIG NAME.

Titogbanski:
U do read the peace deal?
Why were the tankers attacked...simple enough question...no need beating about the bush.

Bamz:
No no, we need to go the very beginning mate.

What provoked the first set of strikes? For every action, there tends to be an equal and opposite reaction, and the domino effects create results that affects everyone even onlookers.

Every civilised democracy (note my use of the word civilised) would/should always pursue diplomatic means and use war only as a means of last resort.

Plus every sovereign entity has the right to defend itself.

It was Venezuela the other day, Iran did not cower. Let's assume Iran fell. Who's next? Cuba, Greenland?

I thought we're in the modern age.
If you're pro-Iran just come out and stop beating about the bush....the beginning was after the peace agreement was reached (which included free and safe passage through the straits)....so I ask again..why were the tankers attacked?..what provoked the attack if not plain terrorism?.
Foreign AffairsRe: Trump Hands Over Patriot Missile Blueprints To Zelensky by Mattswaggz: 12:52pm On Jul 09
elitper:
No, Putin allowed himself to be used. He was deceived into invading Ukraine, thinking he could just plough his way in and return to Moscow in one week. Now, he's stuck and looking for non-Russians to fight in his army. He'll fight that war till the end of his life note this.
Whether he fights it till when isn't your concern....he has conquered the donbas and stopped Ukraine from joining NATO....targets achieved.

Bamz:
Over 100 people liked your comments and I find it amusing.

Two countries (with heavy military might) attacked one country unprovoked. How did you think that country would respond:

Cue in Asymmetric warfare.

This is when the weaker side doesn't fight the stronger side on its strengths. Instead, it exploits vulnerabilities using cheaper, unconventional, or indirect methods. The goal is often not to win battles, but to make the war too costly, too long, or too politically difficult for the stronger side.

Relies on:

Large numbers of relatively inexpensive drones and missiles.

Proxy groups in the region to apply pressure without direct confrontation.

Cyber operations and information campaigns.

Threatening key maritime chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz, where even limited disruption can have outsized global economic effects.

Dispersed and hardened military infrastructure to make it harder to destroy in one strike.

If you were Iran, I believe this war would be an existential affair for you, so it helps to look from both sides of the coin.
What provoked the attack on the tankers then after agreeing to peace?......nothing but terrorism.

kingthreat:
When did Iran threaten USA and Israel?
Please provide with proof and facts.
This is a nation that stopped every uranium enrichment to let the world know they are not planning on exterminating any country. Agreements have been made but because they are different, you believe they should be bombed.

I know you are struggling to prove a rational point but come up with a fact next time, not lies propaganda.
Else you will tell me how the WMDs hidden by Saddam Hussein disappeared.
They have up to 60% enriched Uranium and just recently in their supreme leader funeral they were calling for death unto America....try harder. grin grin grin.
Foreign AffairsRe: Trump Says Ceasefire With Iran Is over by Mattswaggz: 5:59pm On Jul 08
kingthreat:
Were they bombed unprovoked yes or no?
Were their leaders not murdered?
Now they have chosen to use the Strait to negotiate an end to the aggression against them. But bloodthirsty people are angry, they want them exterminated because they are not like them.
Oga your evil will not succeed without a fight. Ukraine is giving Russia a fight to preserve its territory and Iran will do whatsoever. USA is a country not Heaven on high.
US is also bombing them to stop the threats and aggression towards them and Israel..... equation balanced...no need for further complains.
Foreign AffairsRe: Trump Says Ceasefire With Iran Is over by Mattswaggz: 5:47pm On Jul 08
kingthreat:
The strait of Hormuz was never blocked untill Iran was attacked without any provocation.
Hundreds of girls were murdered, but you refused to see that one.
Now this country is doing what they can to defend their land and to wager their conditions but you call it "terrorism".
Maybe you need to check for the meaning of the word "terrorism" again.
You way fuel increase affect after they block the strait....wetin you do them?....abi you join for the attack?. undecided

To make it more a acceptable, let them pay the salaries of CBN staff, in cash, using only 100 Naira notes.
What difference would it make?....they can easily deposit it to their account and withdraw in another currency or even swap it since they work there.... it's legal anyway so no need to panic.

Foreign AffairsRe: Trump Says Ceasefire With Iran Is over by Mattswaggz: 5:29pm On Jul 08
Netanyahu way don read this guys like book finish refused to negotiate with them while oga Trump been think say dem fit reason like normal human being....las las leopard no gree change him spots.

Another angle is that Trump might have been lenient because of mid term elections and over pampered Americans already calling for his head due to increase in energy prices...... nonetheless, he has now realized that these guys don't keep to their words and wotowoto is the only language they understand... it's either you speak it and make them answer yes sir or they'll never give you the respect you're looking for. grin

If not terrorism, why attacking and blocking international water way because you have a feud with Israel(that it wouldn't affect) and US(that it wouldn't affect that much)?. undecided
Foreign AffairsRe: Ghana Rejects Ramaphosa State Visit Request Over Xenophobic Attacks by Mattswaggz: 5:15pm On Jul 08
Kobojunkie:
The very context of events discusssed here is the so-called Xenophobic protests that have been taking place in South Africa, and in the news lately. undecided
And my initial comments was about the extra-judicials keelings that have been going on there in the name of sending illegals immigrants away and not the previous protest.... except of course if you can't read and comprehend English.

The relationship between Ghana and SA was already tensed even before the previous protest after their citizens were attacked and some lost their lives....the news was here yet you were pretending not to be aware of such events. undecided

dominique:
It seems there's an injection of those old ₦100 notes into the public, it's been so long that I saw one that I almost didn't recognise it when it was given to me as change few days ago. CBN should have discontinued the centenary notes after 2014 instead of continuing with the design. A lot of gen alphas won't even know such notes ever existed
And it being new made it even more suspicious for many but so far it's the government that released it into circulation then no need to panic.....when I first saw it, I was thinking it was the one printed maybe years ago and wasn't released into circulation until I saw the year 2026 on it. grin
BusinessRe: CBN Clarifies Legal Tender Status Of ₦100 Banknotes by Mattswaggz: 4:46pm On Jul 08
johnpablo541:
I started seeing the old 100 naira note again. And I noticed they were printed in 2026. I even thought they were fake.
Many people also thought the same... that's why CBN is making this clarification.
BusinessRe: CBN Clarifies Legal Tender Status Of ₦100 Banknotes by Mattswaggz: 4:45pm On Jul 08
OlujobaSamuel:
This circular should have come with an image of both notes so people might know. They should also put it across banks entrance and ATM stands for awareness.
@Seun why is your mods and spam banning me for repeating a word someone used against me, but the person isn't banned for same.
Someone used the word sic* and I repeated it exactly same way, but I was banned
See am for here...some people been day reject am hence the circular.

Oh 100 naira note still dey? grin
they've just released a new batch of the previous (before it was redesigned) #100 Naira notes and some people were sceptical about accepting it...hence this report.
