 Foreign Affairs › Re: NATO Intercepts Russian Planes '10 Times In A Day'( Pics) by naptu2: 2:11pm On Apr 10, 2021 |
Russian fighter jets harass US Navy planes flying over the Black Sea near Russia. The US Navy determined that the intercept was unsafe because the Russian planes flew too close to the American planes and one of them flew across the US plane's flight path (right in front of the US plane). This happened in 2018. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPG8GaPsv70 2 Likes 1 Share |

This year's marathon was kind of different, partly because of COVID. The people's marathon, which usually begins at Lekki, was not held this year. There's usually a race from Lekki Phase 1 to Eko Atlantic City and that race is for regular people. Only the elite race was this year. The elite race is from National Stadium to Eko Atlantic City. It's for established runners. They also put a limit on the number of people that can enter the elite race. The usual publicity and some of the structures that are usually provided for the race were not done this year. The race is usually held in February, but it was moved to April this year because of COVID. Usually the route would have been marked at least a week in advance and there would be many signs on the route, but there was none of that this year. There were usually DJs and entertainers at some of the water points and in fact there used to be cheerleaders at some points, but there was none of that this year. They usually distributed barriers to the security agencies with which they would block the road, but they used virtually anything that they could find this year. There are also new junctions on Admiralty Way (because of the new traffic lights) and the police used civilian cars to block some of those junctions. |

The police have had to deploy extra resources due to the new junctions on Admiralty Way. They used a civilian vehicle to block the junction in front of Lennox Mall. |

The leader is about to go past me. Aha! I've seen him, in an orange vest. Lots of sirens here. 1 Like 2 Shares |

fergie001: garfield1:Both of you should please read my post again. The topic of this thread is not about whether he can contest elections per se (I've already written about that on another thread). Rather it is that Atiku would be deported because he is not a Nigerian. That's what I responded to and said that he is a Nigerian, but not by birth. Please read my post again. 1 Like |

MansoryMX:The news is obviously not true. Going by the law and in fact, going by what the AGF said, the news is not true. The AGF did not say that Atiku was not a Nigerian. What he said is that Atiku is not a Nigerian by birth, which is true. Atiku is a Nigerian, therefore they can't deport him. This has been settled in the Shugaba case during the second republic. 1 Like 1 Share |

I guess some people will say that these world leaders were paid to make these statements or that they only knew Prince Philip because of Twitter promotions.  3 Likes 2 Shares |

thebosstrevor1: "How many people know Prince Philip"?? You said that the BBC do Twitter promotions and I told you that the BBC is far more popular off Twitter and now you are asking me questions. I take it that you just want to have the last word because you are now contradicting yourself and making statements that don't make sense. The BBC has been very popular for generations and people seek out the BBC when they join Twitter. It's not any Twitter promotion that made people know of the BBC. These people that seek out the BBC get the news on BBC tweets not through any promotion. I'm an example. I've been listening to the BBC since the early 1980s and I sought out their accounts. I have never gotten any BBC news on Twitter through any promotions. You know you are wrong, you are now making things up and saying "How many people know Prince Philip", a man that was the spouse of the head of the biggest empire in the world, one of the most photographed and talked about people in the world. I'm ending this discussion here because it no longer makes sense. It looks like a contest for who would have the last say and I'm not interested in that. Goodbye. I won't read your reply 3 Likes |

There has never been any president that appointed people from every ethnic group in Nigeria as service chief. That is illogical. |

thebosstrevor1:1) Do you know that the Royal Family and in fact Prince Philip have Twitter accounts (shocking isn't it) ? 2) News channels also announced his death, but they did not pay people to tweet and retweet it, neither did they do giveaways. Now to your attempt to twist this. No news channel paid to trend Prince Philip's death. A news channel can be popular outside Twitter (do you think it's Twitter that made people know NTA, BBC, CNN?) and have lots of followers, even millions and when they tweet about Prince Philip's death people will retweet it. That does not mean that they paid to trend Prince Philip's death! This is simple common sense. There are things that are popular, affect a lot off people and are talked about of Twitter. These things will trend on Twitter without anyone paying for it I knew of Ronald Reagan when I was a kid and people all over the world talked about the things he did. Were we paid to talk about them (there was no Twitter then). 1 Like |

thebosstrevor1:Hahahahahahaha This is hilarious! Your attempt to shift the goalpost and wiggle your way out is very funny. Prince Philip is known by millions even billions around the world. The announcement of his death would lead to tweets by millions. No newspaper does Twitter adverts over the death of Prince Philip and no one is paid to tweet about his death. Your claim is that influencers are paid to make certain tweets (they do giveaways) and that's the only that things trend. That did not happen in this case. People were not paid to tweet Prince Philip's death. It trended because it is a global event. It's just like how Donald Trump will tweet something and it'll trend in minutes before the traditional media can get to it. That's because he is a global figure. There's no shame in admitting that you are wrong 3 Likes |

It was reported that several Nigerian influencers were hired by Venezuelans to wage a Twitter war on behalf of Alex Saab. Many of these influencers had their Twitter accounts suspended. See previous threads here. https://www.nairaland.com/6493809/twitter-suspends-nigerian-influencers-accounts https://www.nairaland.com/6494505/venezuela-using-nigerian-influencers-wage Buzzfeed later released an article in which they claimed that several influencers including Japhet Joshua Omojuwa, Pamilerin Adegoke and Tonto Dikeh were approached to take part in the Venezuelan campaign. See here https://www.nairaland.com/6498745/nigerian-social-media-influencers-paid Some Twitter users subsequently searched for directors of Omojuwa's company (as listed by the CAC) and they discovered that Dr Oby Ezekwesili and Mallam Nasir El-Rufai were listed as directors. Dr Ezekwesili's son tweeted that his mother was not aware that she was listed as a director in Alpha Reach (Omojuwa's company). Dr Ezekwesili's lawyers have now asked the CAC and Omojuwa to explain the listing. Oby Ezekwesili @obyezeks On the strange matter of being listed as a director of Alpha Reach @cacnigeria1, here’s the letter of my lawyers, Falana and Falana Chambers to @Omojuwa for explanation and public apology. The lawyers have also requested information from CAC on this anomaly.https://mobile.twitter.com/obyezeks/status/1380540963504947204 2 Likes 2 Shares
