SportsRe: Nigeria Basketball Thread! by MT:
US is in such a destructive mood.

Hitting 3-pointer for fun, so fast and stylish, and slicing through our defense so easily.
Nigeria couldn't hit 3-pointer and struggle offensively.

Its a game over.

They tried but the end has come.
SportsRe: USA Face Nigeria In Olympic Women’s Basketball Knockouts by MT: 9:32pm On Aug 07, 2024
It's a total mismatch.

USA so devastating at the offense and rock solid at defense. They throw 3-pointer for fun.

Nigeria cant hit 3-pointer and allow the US to slice through them easily.

No surprise here.

I was in Birmingham last month and I asked why the UK Government allowed so much influx of immigrants into the city. It was frightening and the place was extremely dirty. It was heavily populated by the Somalis who were wearing balaclava in open day.

Even in Nigeria, we didn't accept when there was too much influx of Ghanians in the 80s.

Your knowledge on the subject is off of YouTube, I get. There's a chance that the boom boom boom of artillery has carried you away.

Artillery is a wonderful thing for war but we are talking of general military capabilities and you're limiting yourself to artillery.

Whatever happened to Submarine fleet? Naval assets? Bombers? Air superiority & ground attack jets? Missile technology? Air defence? Military organization? Logistics? Defence spending? Intelligence? Foreign bases for ease of ops?

Son, you need to understand the idea of military firepower and the firepower of some of these countries for us to have any meaningful conversation. Now you're just being a fan.
Why are you responding to these jesters?

Don’t waste your time.

Who is stopping Russia from using a tactical nuclear weapon?

Who is stopping the Chinese from invading Taiwan?

The answer to both question is “the United States”.

These jesters don’t know that the US has been forged into a supreme destructive machine.

Russia and China will never dare to do otherwise simply because they know the beast they are dealing with.

They simply do not know what they are writing about.

Russia, China understand what is at play. Just ignore Nairaland jesters cheesy cheesy

US warns China NOT to invade Taiwan, they DARE not.

US warns Russia NOT to use tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine, they DARE not.

If they want to prove their military might, they would have done the opposite of what the US warns them against and see chim chun chee

Conversely, China warned Pelosii not to fly into Taiwan, she did.

Russia warned US not to supply Ukraine with long range weapons, she did.

Russia warned the US not to supply F15, she did.

No country tells the US what not to do but the US will dictate to you what you should not do, and if you cross their red line, you will then see the face of the beast.

If NATO is not involved Ukraine will not last one month
we saw the full weight of NATO in Afghanistan

If Russia hits a NATO country nothing will happen

NOTHING
Russia is now at war with NATO already
Such a jester you are.

When Russia missile strayed into Poland, Russia was quickly explaining to NATO that it was not them but blamed Ukraine anti missile radar .

You do not know anything. Russia knows.

For you to say NOTHING will happen if Russia intentionally hits NATO territory show your ignorance. So, what is stopping Russia from hitting UK, France, Sweden etc. ?

I say again, you write like a jester and not worth replying to.

How do you know this?
Stop being ridiculous
NATO provides almost 100% of weapons, they contribute mercenaries ,intelligence and military advisers and trainers
That’s not 100% involvements.

If NATO military boots are on the ground and are using their different military assets in a coordinated manner against Russia, then that’s Nato in play.

Right now, their contributions are so fringe.

If you want Russia to feel the full weight of NATO, let it intentionally hit any NATO nation with missiles, then the playground will change. Before you mention Russia nuclear weapon, don’t forget that UK, France and US possess nuclear weapons on their triad as well.

Originalsly:
We will see US running to China ... to get assurance that China will not get involved. We will see the US running to the UN .. to prevent Russia from sending advanced missiles to Iran that cause a threat to Israel and insecurity in the region. What was being downplayed is that Russia and China have been having joint war games where as the two can quickly and easily unite as one force. The US fears that in any conflict ... they are a confident force against Russia ... but not at all if Russia gets the backing of China. If China does not give that assurance ... only then the US will genuinely seek peace and rein in Israel. Would Russia send hypersonic missiles to Iran? That will have Israel shivering and the US trembling because it can easily penetrate the Iron Dome or whatever defence system. Let the wailing begin.
So you don’t know US pretend to the whole world that she’s seeking peace, meanwhile she is willing to respond in a devastating manner against any attack and she will term it “reactionary”.

Don’t be deceived, US is having Iran firmly placed on her radar. Those fighter jets deployed by the US are not toys, that’s an extreme, overwhelming fire power,

No military in the whole world can confront the US in its current deadly state. Be careful what you wish for.

High budget air defence system was penetrated by Chinese balloons
Stop this self deceit it is not by the budget size
We know how much was spent in Afghanistan to achieve NOTHING
Russia is more than70% the size of Africa
Israel is 70% the size of AKWA IBOM

No air defence system can cover Russia entirely
And it is NATO together with Ukraine not Ukraine alone
NATO is not involved in the offensive in Ukraine. NATO only contribute money for Ukraine and willing individual nations within NATO send weapons.

It’s a different ball games when all disparate military assets in NATO coordinate and attack Russia. Russia knows this.

pedrilo:
You just spoke my mind. Imagine, making threats and serious noise all this while without having any advance defence system.
I am shocked! this is akin to committing suicide!
Israel is far more superior than Iran in both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Iran is only superior in having more number of tanks and 10 times as much number of Israelis soldiers. But Israeli has more advanced tanks than Iran. They are far from each other, so having more number of tanks and vast number of soldiers have zero advantage.

But Israel has F15 , F16 and the most advanced, stealth fighter jet in the world - F35, not to talk of nuclear weapon, and superior allies.
Foreign AffairsRe: Russia Sends Air Defences To Iran by MT:
FreeStuffsNG:
Iran practically is next door to Russia but US has to travel several kilometres to reach Israel.

There's poor strategic thinking if the support of US to Israel is compared to Russia supporting Iran, it is obviously skewed against the Americans and Isreal.

This is why diplomacy is the best option and they should have seen this strategic disadvantage before murdering of Haniyeh.
US doesn’t need to travel several kilometres to reach the Mediterranean Sea. They have a lot of military assets and capabilities already deployed in their bases in the Middle East. Their assets are simply being redeployed. That is what military bases can do for the US.

Don’t forget those assets are offensive and defensive in nature. The batteries of Russian defensive capabilities will first be targeted.

Didijiji:
please you sound intelligent

STOP USING THIS LARGEST MONTHLY ALLOCATION narrative. It is scam

You know why?

What you can buy for 20m under GEJ is worth over 100m under Tinubu

The purchasing power is eroded. The amount is HUGE in figures alone

What it can purchase is less than the lower amount of past governments

Same way this dumb government keeps celebrating 70k minimum wage.
You seem to be making a case for the Governors which is what they always wish for.

That monthly allocations can do a lot for the States.

If the entire 36 states can seriously spend just 10% of that monthly allocations on Agriculture, we will feed and also export.

You cannot undermine the amount being given to each state, it is humongous and they are stealing larger percentage of it each month.

And let me ask you, do you support the return of subsidy and for Naira not to be floated? If yes, why?

Tinubu does not make all this determination. He simply follows the constitution.

He even went to the extent of suing all the Governors to get the Local Govt full autonomy, a case that he won.

The greatest problem we have in this country is that we have an overwhelming number of ignorant and bad educated folks who do not even understand how the dots connect. This makes them to be easily manipulated by political mischief makers.

It is sad.

Love him or hate him, Tinubu is taking a new trajectory to address our problems. Most people blame the president for a case that is meant to be constitutionally addressed by their Governors and State Chairmen. Ignorance!!.

We are progressing as a nation after years of cankerworms. Your Governors are collecting historically high monthly allocations, make them accountable.

Probability does not work in court. Certainty does.

Most cases are ruined by the police themselves in the matter they do their investigation.

An average lawyer assigned to them pro bono should be able to litigate the case smartly.

Some many lacunas to explore are so visible in the case.

Of course, they are still innocent until proven but where were they when someone killed her in her room, dragged her outside the gate without the security man noticing, dropped her there, and then went back to meticulously clean the blood but missed some spots, it is obvious they planted her body outside to make people think she was killed outside and they know nothing about it, and the domestic staff needed corporation to pull it off, some criminals are delusional and think they are so smart until they have wasted life and found out that it is not easy to kill someone and get away with it, they believe what happens in films happen in real life, degenerates just killed a Doctor because of property not worth more than 5 million
You were ONLY relying on the prosecution team to make your assertions.

The defence team will have their days in court.

Law is about evidences and how the police conducted their investigation. The police might have even contaminated the scene of crime.

This case is far from being conclusive.

I repeat the burden of proof lies with the prosecution and it must be beyond REASONABLE doubt.

Let me first ask you - is it REASONABLE for 3 total strangers to hatch a crime of this magnitude within a week of knowing themselves?

The defence only needs to introduce one REASONABLE doubt into the case and the case is dismissed.
CrimeRe: Househelp Confesses To Killing Justice Ajumogobia’s Daughter In Lagos by MT: 11:37am On Aug 03, 2024
In another perspective, too much torture can make a person says na him killed Jesus and Mohammed together.

How was the investigation conducted?

Which methods were used?

Was there any form of torture?

Was the confession made under duress?

All these would be argued in court. It’s not an open-close case yet.

The burden of proof lies with the prosecution team.

Let the case gets to court and let the prosecutor presents his case for the Government.

As for me, they are still innocent till found guilty by the court.

mignone:
Thanks for your time, bro.
If you notice that I stated somewhere that d issues we have in nigeria are fundamental, you've further proven that.

So, fact: state governors aren't "actually accountable". No problem, all of this will not last forever.
Thanks for being civil while the discourse lasted.

Our constitution is our number 1 problem. It gives too much power to the Governors and they misuse it. Ii always say they are the evils of this nation.

Imagine if each of the Governor uses just 10% honestly to face Agriculture (both crops and animals) , we will have enough to feed and even export. But no, they pay lip service to it. They are not interested because some crops will take 5 years before it starts to produce, after which , they might have left office. Their selfish and greedy thinking is that they have "worked" for another Government to reap the sweat of their labour, forgetting that governance is a continum. They will rather do wishy-washy road, steal billions while the citizens rejoice and sing their praises.

Governors are accountable but ONLY to the State House of Assembly who has the power to remove them for any infraction. But what we have in Nigeria is sad. The Governors, knowing this fact will "buy" the state house of assembly members by buying their expensive nomination forms for them so that they can do their biddings once they are in the house.

The citizens too are not intelligent voters . When you vote in APC as a Governor, let PDP opposition be more in the Assembly. This will increase the level of scrutiny of the Governor's actions and the citizens will be the winner. But alas no!. The citizens dont take state house of assembly election as important. They just vote for the party . They do not even know the antecedents of the individuals on the ballot papers. They rejoice when they announce that APC or PDP aspirant is the Governor and the the same party also clear all seats in the House of assembly. That is why the speaker and the Governor become paddy paddy. Tell me how can the Governor's actions be scrutinized by the so-called State House of Assembly.

Like you said, our problem is complex and fundamental - it cuts across both the citizens and the leaders.
