thats it, he has done it before , he can do it again

How did he perform the first time ?. He is a pathetic liar with lot of scandals. He lied his way through to severe ties with the UK biggest trading block [EU], He will finish the UK this time around totally.

Everybody is saying "country that works" simply because it is a western nation. If it were to be Nigeria, the same set of people will be saying different thing. When will blacks stop playing second fiddle to these countries.

UK has become politically embarrassing to the whole world. The economy is in dire strait too. The conservative party is imploding at a very fast rate. There are factions within the party that are ready to take the nation down with them - Sunak faction, Johnson faction and Mordaunt Faction. Lot of infighting and yet people here are saying country that works. Shame!

Where did the guy pull out his stat from. Brain drain left Nigeria with 24000 doctors? Hilarious. NMA that does not even know the number of doctors that are practising in the country. So, brain drain has left the country with round figure. Clown

.

So all these their endless meetings can not hold here in Nigeria? Nonsense & Ingredients.

Tax payers money being wasted with impunity. Zero accountability. Docile citizens. It's just pathetic. I don't see this country rising in the short to medium term.

But ukrainians are winning the war na , in fact no any casualty from any ukrainians according to media

I am sorry but I suppose we need to inject a bit of humanity and reasonableness to whatever we type here irrespective of which side we support.

Do the areas being targeted by Russia represent military assets? Russians are being very irresponsible and acting against UN conventions in war times. You cannot go after civilians or their infrastructure in war times.

Russians should be targeting the Ukrainians army, not their civilians! That's quite cowardly! Stop applauding stupidity too.

@Teaser

I just saw that you have been quoting me. Do not put a spin on this discourse.

Our line of argument was crystal clear - You claimed that Ukrainian army will NEVER attack those 4 annexed territories again AFTER Putin has declared those territories as part of Russia. I made it clear to you they would never stop and you wrote that I should call you out if they do. You are trying to change the line of argument.

I am not talking about Kerch bridge with you. I am not discussing about the rain of missiles on Ukraine. I simply called you out based on our last discourse.

I still put it to you - What do you have to say since Ukrainians keep on attacking those 4 annexed territories after Putin has made them to be part of Russia?

Teaser4:
bro, I really don’t wanna talk about this right now, make we talk when the whole ratifications is done. You can fact-check me about that, they ain’t 100% Russian territories yet. About the nuclear weapon, I only made reference to that cos thats how things could escalate or degenerate. Kyiv independence reported that as well.


Can we talk when the real war begin. Yes once again Liman is gone, it’s a loss too and e pain us.

I won’t expect further mentions, thanks

If Putin use am,nothing will happen bro, the west ain’t ready for a nuclear war yet, that’s the reason why nato rejected Zelenski offer, isn’t that clear enough. Worst wey dem go do na sanctions. We are talking about the end of the Europe and America not the whole world but na every living things go feel nuclear war Before you rush me, I hope know say Russia is also part of Europe, it’s called Mutual Assured Destruction (M.A.D) that’s the reason why nato refuse to admit Ukraine, it’s obvious it’s gonna lead to nuclear war cos Putin will never fight a conventional war with nato… before you talk say west sef get nukes too, I know that but check the statistics….

God forbid nuclear war there won’t Twitter or Cnn wey go give us updates, we gonna return to Stone Age be that…. I’ll never pray for a nuclear war

@teaser once again, I'm calling you out as agreed. Few days ago, Putin has fully signed the 4 regions of Ukraine as part of Russia.

Kerch is down this morning due to firepower of Ukrainian army who refused to stop. They keep liberating their lands.

Mr Teaser, what do you have to say? You said Ukrainians will stop once Putin signs. They haven't. You asked me to call you out if they don't stop. I told you they won't stop. I'm calling you out again.

ogascomax:
The Westerner media and propaganda, lies, fake news, misinformation etc are 5&6. Lyman was abandoned by Russian troops while they say Ukraine have re-captured it. They said Russian is losing the war and Russia have annexed 4 States. Now NATO have rejected Ukraine Friday bid to join them, USA, UN, European Unions have said that they will not accept the annexation and that is the worst they can do nothing else. Putin have told them that the USA is the only nation that have twice use nuclear weapons and that they have set the PRECEDENCE for the usage. Note this if Putin use nuclear weapon on Ukraine nothing will still happened. That comedian in Ukraine called president should get sense and stop listening to those that want to destroy his nation. Russia is not the enemy but USA, NATO and the West are the true enemies of Ukraine.

It takes a lot of processes to deploy nuke. US is laser focused on the location of nuke in Russia. US has warned Russia of catastrophic consequence. You can bet the nuclear forces won't make it to their destination when they are genuinely on the move.

This is fake news tho

Can these charlatans just shut up!

Teaser4:
Hi bro, you too dey rush, the process never complete yet, it will be completed by October 5, dem we can have this conversation You see how chengen leader don Dey talk say make dem use tactical nuclear weapon on em, that’s how fvcked things could get…. Liman has fallen yes, but reality never start…when the whole process is done, na me sef go call you out….the signatory they did the other day, na part of the process, the full ratification will complete on October 5th, that’s when they’ll become Fully Russian territories, and yes ukraine won’t stop, na wetin go make the matter sweet be that…

adios
Stay safe

Waow. Your argument is becoming a joke. Tactically, you have walked back your argument - You agreed now that Ukrainians will not stop attacking. That was contrary to what you typed the other time.

And this nuclear weapon you are hyping, let your Putin use it. Then you will realise the catastrophic consequence that awaits Russia Federation. You are talking about nuclear weapon as if it is a toy. I was shocked you are even promoting its use. Do you understand what nuclear weapon is and its implication to the world at all??

Teaser4:
next week no far, the referendum starts on Friday… make we continue this conversation next week… I want to go and rest. Pls quote me anytime…. Stay away from cnn lol.

Hello Mr Teaser. We had this discussion last week and you said I should call u out if Ukrainians have the bravery to start attacking the supposedly annexed land by Russia. I made it clear Ukrainians would never stop and their western allies would keep pumping them weapons. But you argued that it would never happen.

So, as agreed, I am calling you out. Ukrainians have not only attacked Donestk but Lyman has fallen. What do you have to say, Mr. Pro Putin?

Teaser4:
I don’t want to quote anyone, if you think this doesn’t change anything, tune in to all western media right now and watch em rant and wail while they are analyzing this current events…. Now Ukrainians will leave under the threat of being nuked, I don’t pray for that tho,but Putin said he’s gonna protect his country’s territory with any means necessary…. Well Goodluck to Zelenski….. in the coming days, nowhere will be safe in Ukraine, once the war start fully, nah everywhere go be potential targets and this time they won’t bothered about minimum casualties… Goodluck to Ukraine….

...and you feel the entire Russia won't be targets to the Ukrainian. The war has taken a new shape but I can tell you the west will never agree to Putin grabbing Ukrainians land.

US has directly in a very clear term warns the Russia of catastrophic consequences if it uses nuke. Let Putin crosses the red line and see what happens.

In another news, thousands of Russian armies are about to surrender in Lyman.

A police force that is not adequate for the Nigeria public has been rationed among the rich and powerful. What official position is the professor holding that warrants an officer of the law that is meant to be serving the public assigned to her ?.

I have witnessed Police officer pushing cart in the store, holding bag for their big madams at various social events.

Even President Biden carries his own bag.

That should be investigated too. Who assigned the officer to the Professor? How much exchanged hands? That's corruption too, Mr Police PRO.

CSTRR:
Four of my former classmates in Nigeria are currently Graduate Teaching Assistants in America as a condition for their full tuition scholarship.

They did PhD right after their B.Eng in Nigeria, and are on track to become fully employed by their universities when they are done with their doctorates.

Absolutely brilliant fellows that Nigeria does not have enough of.

Without taking a shine off your narrative, most "my friends" stories on nairaland end up as a big lie. And moreso, I was not claiming ALL the lecturers were not good, I used the pronoun "some".

Most of Nigeria lecturers are not fit for purpose in western world. Most of them can leave for mostly blue collar jobs at best.

It is not by the appellation of unmerited titles (Dr., Prof) which they have politicized among themselves but giving real industry standard training to the students, which they are obviously not capable of.

Do you know what they called “UN Security Council”…I mean those 5 permanent members with veto powers… Those are countries….vote to allow him talk, isn’t a big deal and won’t change anything, not China’s mind…..

Russia and China are business partners, do you know how much money they generated in the last few months. Lol
Putin and Xi are like brothers. USA and nato can’t break the bound and it’s mutual respect, pls stay away from cnn….they lie effortlessly

Xi: Putin my brother… it’s deep


What I meant by failed is that they failed to convince China, India etc, that why they always abstain… if too say China side with west ni, the war go don end since… tha thing Dey pain usa gan… China no just send em

Winter is coming , Europe go hear am….

China Dey enjoy Russia cheap gas, even Saudi Arabia dey buy Russia cheap gas

China and Russia do not enjoy mutual respect. Russia is at the mercy of China. And Biden has repeatedly warned China that if it attempts to help Russia circumvent the sanctions imposed on Russia, their will be consequences. China has not moved the needle since then. Thats what the US does.

If not for US, China would have invaded Taiwan. US told them "dont dare". Biden has warned repeatedly there will be america boots on the ground if China does and US military will engage the Chinese.

US is bigger and more fierce than you think. They do what they wish, you cannot tell them what to do. That is what that country with the stars and the stripes flag does - The United States of America.

See you next week.....

Russia and China are business partners, do you how much many they generated in the last few months. Lol

Xi: Putin my brother… it’s deep

That is where you mixed it up. That was very symbolic. That shows whose sides these countries are. Do you know what NPT is and do u know the message those countries that form NPT made this year. Yet, Russia, being a rogue nation, after making a firm committment not to use nuclear weapon made a detour on its words a month later.

Russia knows they dont have the capabilities of the United States military. No country in the world right now has it. Just Himars from the US changed the tide of the war and some intelligence that US shared with the Ukrainian army. US sees, US knows.

The rag tag Russia military ran and left weapons behind. It was a disgrace and the supposedly once feared russian military is now butt of jokes.

Teaser4:
they already did that and failed woefully, and will fail anytime wey dem try am… That’s dead on arrival too


I don Laff piss for pants here oo…. Try to watch news from both sides… I do. I watch and read news from all western sources and Russia source too…. I go take that as sarcasm sha

Do you know how many countries that voted to allow Zelensky delivered his message via video link at the UN today. 101 countries, against 7 countries who voted against it. You called that failed?

All the countries that matter have turned Russia to a Pariah, and Russia is at mercy of countries like China, Iran and North Korea. You called that failed?

You make me laugh

Teaser4:
I get your points, but big boys don’t fight conventional wars, why dem Dey build ICBMs in the first place, dem no build am for fashion, na for destruction…. The premise isn’t valid bro, cos it’s not realistic. There won’t be a conventional with USA or nato….

You can fact-check me anytime.

2. That’s the main goal of the referendum, once it’s done let em attack Donbass first, then we’ll have the conversation.

Bro you watch too much American movies, USA has never fight any super power in history, all the matches dem dey play so far na like Manchester city v Nothingham forest …. I don’t want to dig , make we leave that matter…

I will especially look for you when Ukraine does not stop attacking Donbas. US will not allow Russia to redraw the map of Ukraine through the barrel of guns. I will look for you by next week.

Even Germany said they would continue to pump Ukraine with weapon and US says their commitment is clear, and they will not stop propping up Ukraine. Just watch

US will want to rally the rest of the world that Russia is an irresponsible country. And before Russia can fire an ICBM, it takes hours. It will have to be transported over along distance to a place where it will be fitted to a missile. US sees all these, and US has the means to attack the control of Russia and make the ICBM fails or a pre-emptive strike.

Everything is on the table. The Russia armies are big jokes and strained from the war, if the US or NATO or both step in, it is game over.

Teaser4:
You made some salient points too, but I had to bold that first, Usa and nato has no obligation to defend Ukraine, even if dem collect nuke, why? It’s simple cos Ukraine isn’t part of NATO, so article 5 won’t come up. God forbid Ukraine getting nuke, but if dem collect one ICBM, my brother life goes on cos Russia will never fight a conventional war with no nato countries, putin will use the faster means to hell for both sides, heck the elites go survive thanks to their bunkers. I don’t think nuclear deterrence is for Ukraine, it’s for USA and Nato…

Note that I stressed something - US, with or without NATO, will fight Russia with CONVENTIONAL means if Russia attempts to launch nuclear weapon. And before US does that, it will ensure it raises all the dust in the UN to make countries aware of the implication of Russia action, and by extension turning Russia to a Pariah state. Then, US will directly engage Russia with conventional means.

If Putin fires nuclear again, then US will be forced to do the same. And if Putin fires on the US, article 5 will be triggered and NATO will be drawn in. US will not sit idly by and allow Russia to dictate to her. You should know the States by now. US will not allow China to learn positive lessons from this. US will want to show the rest of the countries that want to toe the same path as Russia what awaits them.

Ukraine will not stop attacking Donbas even after the sham referendum. Just watch!

One of the US military officers said something - In war time, you do not fear the known weapons as you can build defence against them, but fear the unknown. That is chilling. US is built for wars and can take on China and Russia at the same time.

Teaser4:
You’re right. No one has monopoly over nukes, na Russia and USA get the bragging rights. Biden reiterated today during his UN speech that, there won’t be winner and it shouldn’t come up. I think it’s a form of deterrence…..

The reasons for the referendum are crystal that’s why most western leaders are calling it a sham, they know what that means…. One thing is certain, Ukraine won’t be able to shell Donbass after the referendum…

Lmao, the funny ones you saw on bbc, cnn or Skynews lol…. The funny looking Russian army already did this(image) the funny looking Russian army are the reasons for this referendum

USA CAN’T declare no fly zone in Ukraine, simply because Russia is a super powered nuclear country. I’m sure if they can do that, dem go don do am since…that’s why nato are engaging in a proxy war, they can’t fight Russia directly simply because of “nuclear weapons ”, they ain’t scared , but it’s not only reckless but insane… even USA can’t fight North Korea directly, na only sanctions dem fit do. You don’t go to a war with a nuclear powered country, no matter how small, it’s suicidal. That’s why they don’t want Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, Biden reiterated again today at the UN submit. Nuclear weapons no be childplay…

So dem no go send wrong signal, na everytime dem Dey reiterate say dem no Dey war with Russia, Josep Borell still talk am today….

One last thing, when it comes to modern nuclear weapons Russia is far ahead of USA, you can fact-check me….

Nice write up but I bet to disagree on some points.

1. The US is not meant to fight Russia directly because they are both nuclear powers. However, once Russia launches nuclear weapon on Ukraine soil to a devastating effects, all bets are off. US, with or without NATO will fight Russia with a conventional weapon. Some retired and active operatives were interviewed about what the US would do incase Russia fires nuclear weapon in Ukraine, it makes for an interesting read:
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/06/russia-ukraine-nuclear-weapon-us-response/661315/
and know that Bush Senior ordered all the US tactical nuclear weapons to be removed and destroyed when he was the US president. Russian chose to keep their own. Thats why it appears that Russia has more. However, only one thousand plus of these Russia nuclear missiles are active. And the US still has the largest nuclear weapon delivery mechanism in the world.

2. US and NATO have the means to declare no fly zone in Ukraine. They dont just want to do it so as not make NATO to be an offensive unit. But once Russia crosses the rubicon, fires the nuclear weapon, then no fly zone being enforced and Russia military engaged. If Putin fires nuclear weapon for the second time, Russia will be turned to a nuclear dust. Read that atlantic I sent to you.

Also if you have the time, watch this Biden omnious warning to Putin about the use of nuclear of weapon. Watch as his countenance changes while warning Putin. US army cant be compared to those rag tag Russian army.

https://edition.cnn.com/videos/politics/2022/09/18/biden-warns-putin-60-minutes-nuclear-weapon-nr-vpx.cnn

Putin does not have monopoly of madness. US will not stand by and watch Russia forcibly changes the world order. US wont respond with nuclear weapon. With this funny-looking Russian army, US have enough conventional military hardware to sink Russia ship, enforce no fly-zone over Ukraine and hit the command and control of Russia that will fire the nuclear weapon,

The CIA operatives are active, the satellites are focused on Russia and there are lot of simulated war games going on with the Tiger team assembled by Biden, in case Russia comes through with the use of nuclear weapon.

Just sit by and watch.

We make salad too as an african, and it doesn't make a news. No big deal in what she did.

Sixfiguresmart:
Sir, we are a oil producing nation. Look at what other nations do for their citizens. We have the cash to do more than that Sir. There is no need why every single citizen in the country should not be a millionaire.

Other countries pay free tuition and even grant loans for education to be paid during a lifetime.

Why should we pay fees in this country? How many lecturers are active? how much are they paid. Some are paid 150k naira with decades of experience. Then, how much is our actual oil revenue when you cancel corruption?

other countries pay salaries to their citizen for doing nothing in 30 days. Just free dividends of oil.

You are very wealthy MT, do not be deceived.

Other countries use education to sustain their economy. Nigeria only needs to sell oil and that's that.

without corruption, you would have been booking tickets to a new destination on tour every single month.

Do the math for yourself.

I understand you but let us face it, Nigeria is not in position to reduce tuition fee for the students. We do not have such money at the moment. How many products are we exporting apart from Crude oil? The students traveling out of the country, medical tourism, flight etc deplete the FG dollar-denominated account everyday. It is a tall order.

Advanced countries offer their citizens loan to study and pay back later when working. But this loan is gotten from taxes paid. How many people are paying taxes in Nigeria? Even, the little taxes paid, Is it not being mismanaged? We are not ready!

Sixfiguresmart:
The students should stick to the airport. Let them arrange to go to the crude oil exit point next week.

They will go back to school the following week if they all come out in throngs.

Ask them to demand more now that they have the chance. The students now have the chance to hijack this election and play to the party that is willing to come out and stand for the right of the students.

They should ask for more now. This is their chance. Reduced fees, revamped campuses, job opportunities. There is no reason why a Nigerian student will just go to class and go back to their hostels. These are functioning citizens that can last hours in bed. Why can't they also be afforded work?

A student should be able to work at minimum of 20 hours a week.

Go for gold, students. Do not settle for the old dust

Reduced Fee, you say? Even western nations citizens are paying a premium for education. You want them to ask for a reduced fee but expecting better infrastructure in the schools. It doesnt work that way.

Daniel's people in the bible did not pay before Daniel was liberated from the den of Lions. The 3 Hebrews did not pay before they were released from the torment of fire.

A Bishop boldly admitting paying for ransom is pathetic, brought his faith into question.

The Europeans and Americans would have:

1. Adopted our languages as theirs.

2. Been dressing in our ways.

3. Practice our traditional religions and believe in our traditional gods.

4. Agree that our gods are the only ways that point to heaven.

Can we conclusively say it is a case of who colonised who first? The Europeans colonised us and we aligned to their values, cultures, religions and ways while we agree with them that everything about our own values are bad. Nowadays, it is a taboo for our children to master our own indigenous languages; it is strictly frowned at but we expect them to be expert at speaking English Language which is an indigenous language to the British.

When someone speaks English fluently, we assume such person is very intelligent and people start to hero worship him, even placing him in high places of governance. Mastering to speak English Language is never equivalent to being intelligent!

Is something truly wrong with Africans?

I love this thread but I have a question. If Africans were to first colonise the white, don't you think they would be practicing our traditional religions, wearing our kind of clothing, speaking our languages and believing our gods are the only ways to heaven?

I think everything boils down to who colonized who first.

Okay..So who administers this tax? Who collects it? The FIRS or the lawyers on behalf of the government..Cos to the best of my knowledge, inheritance tax is not part of what the FIRS collects

It all happens at the probate. There is a dedicated government account for it.

OnionBandit:
So I heard but in practice, my dear, it doesn't work. I have been into tax for years but I have never seen it happen.. please tell me your experience

When someone passes and you go get letter of administration. I am not sure of the exact percentage again, but i think it is 10% of the inheritance that will be forfeited to the Govt. This is no hearsay, I witnessed few years ago.

Lawyers in the house can enlighten more.
