nairalanda1: That's because the defence budget is scanty. Infact this year ending, Nigeria's budget was half of what the UK spent on its police. Our national budget.
It's even a miracle we can pay soldiers and run an army on five billion dollars yearly, when we need far more than that.
HardBishop: I just pity you people ooo, Russia this Russia that...... If Americans Germans British decides to manufacture and use different conventional war weapons to fight Russia.. will Russia survive? No be Germans manufacture Mercedes, British for Bentley and rolls Royce, or America for GMC caterpillar motors.... Don't you think they have the capacity to manufacture hypersonic and drone missiles... Una no dey think fa
And you think a war between Russia and the west will involve use of conventional weapons. Nuclear weapons is not for decoration. The question is are the western world ready to sacrifice all their achievements because they want to put Russia down.
FreeStuffsNG: Senator Akpabio needs to be called to order about his embarrassingly obscene self condescension he brings to the exalted office representing part of our sovereign.
Many will argue that this is the downside with taking individuals from his kind of humble background to such office. Hate him or love him, Bukọla Saraki can't be this subservient and intimidated. Background matters a lot.
While Saraki grew up in top elite family and school rubbing shoulders with other elite kids of his time, Akpabio was in the village and grew up from humble background, bowing for the likes of Trump. He probably never believes that he would one day represent a nation.
Now he's a Senate President of the most Powerful Black nation on earth, the unprivileged background has not left him. He is still intimidated and subservient. He needs to be told to quit the office if he's humble background keeps making him poor and weak. Smh.
Not even Natasha will speak in this manner. Background, again, is the major difference between her and Akpabio.
This is not humility, his comments on Trump is absolutely disgraceful and abominable.
It's not funny reading his comments and this CNN headline on same Trump.
Even Columbia that is not as powerful as Nigeria called his bluff.
Shebi you have air defense and missiles. You are comparing Russia to Nigeria. Oga mouth is not an air defense
DomPerignon: That's what your ibo delegates whom Ned was hobnobbing with.
They insisted that since the SE has a deficit of one state and that their is clamour to create another state in the SE and since Ned is willing to be part of SE geopolitical zone that Ned should collapse Anioma state project with Orlu state.
Another condition was that Orlu in Imo should become the new state capital.
Pity ya self. Apostle dem say, dem say. How can orlu in imo be capital of anioma in delta when both places have states in between them. Pity yourself
Arda1000: why do you hate Igbo people so much? I don’t understand. Spewing trash and misinformations and trying to cause divisions among our people. Orlu have been kept aside for the Anioma state and no time has Igbo said that it must be merged with Orlu state,the only thing is if Anioma don’t want to be in South East then the Orlu state can be achieved.
He is same person as Godhatejews aka hitlerwasright aka fuckosulgbos. The guy is very angry with lsreal and blames Jews for all the world problems but because he is helpless and can't do nothing, he transfers his aggression to lgbos. Imagine isreal defeating Iran and his proxies, and one of his most vocal supporters is blaming lgbos, like say na we dey bomb gaza
Mbah is a failed governor which investment did he make in enugu that he wants to finish them with tax. Common to secure agric communities and highways he cannot do
DomPerignon: So what is the point of them supporting and agreeing to your proposal to be yoked to your own state creation project and having a state capital moved to one dead rural village in Orlu?
You want to have them lose their capital, become minorities and also totally absorbed as Ibos and you expect them to agree to such rubbish?
Are Anioma people not having a better deal in present Delta state ?
They have produced a governor through the rotational agreement . Have Asaba as the state capital which was developed mostly from resources from Delta south and central.
But you want them to forget their own state and be collapsed into your own state project and have the proposed capital moved to one dead town in Imo so you can pull all the resources from Delta north to build a spanking new capital in Orlu .
And when they reject such a shitty deal you say they are confused?
Are Anioma people being oppressed and marginalized in Delta?
But what you are proposing will see them become third class citizens and become subjugated politically and culturally by the ibo majority .
Reason am well.
Will you accept such a rubbish deal?
Painment is that you. I can feel your pains and anguish from miles away. Hamas supporter
Jakumo: Many will be hearing for the first time in this thread that Nigerian troops in conflict areas were up till now required to await a command before opening fire on terrorists. That delay in taking action as events dictate is part of the reason that Goliath Russia's military might has been unable to subdue Ukraine's little David armed forces.
Hopefully the new Minister of Defense will at the very least cooperate closely with US drone operators so as to optimize their decapitation missile strikes against known terror kingpins in northern Nigeria, AND their clandestine supporters.
So you believe Russian troops wait for order before they shoot. The same troops that have right to call in drone strikes without passing through chain of command.
What is modern about pump bullpop action. The range is low, fewer bullets. Why not ak 47. This governor is a joke. Why can't tinibh grant states right to buy any kind of gun. With this nonsense bandits carrying ak 47 have the advantage
Which herders. The ones in the forest abi the ones that come for peace deal and go home with their weapons. And if they refuse, which we all know that they will not hand over any gun, what will tinubu do
Tinibu is trying to be clever by half, if he truly wants state police, send a Bill. What if senators pass a bill that the governor will not be in charge of the police bit the senate, would the governor agree. Tinubu plays politics with every thing
Dellorisation ko, poundination ni. Country that sells crude in dollars, pegs budget in dollars, determine import duty in dollars, receive foreign remittance in dollars, collect loans and raise dollar bonds, even keep it's reserve in dollars is talking about dumping dollars
Which radio Biafra. Which frequency does it operate on. We know your types, always trying their best to deflect blame from bandits. A yoruba man defending bandits like his life depends on it
Kemetian: See a PUBLIC TRADE FAIR FOR GUNS in America, a country that loses 40,000 CHRISTIANS annually to gun violence - at least 50 times the Boko Haram annual casualty figures - yet REFUSES to restrict public gun ownership there, but wants to ''invade Nigeria'' out of ''concern for Nigerian Christians''.
Better ask them what they really want in Nigeria.
PUBLIC TRADE FAIR FOR GUNS IN AMERICA where ANYONE can just walk in and buy a SUBMACHINE gun and start spraying people.
Judolisco: what's more important to u pls... D lives of the victims or the kidnappers?
Even if you pay ransom to free victims you go after the abductors not allow them to walk away until they kidnap another set of people. Is isreal not targeting some of the masterminds of 2023
