Those verse in Iran diplomacy and war remember how Iran ended Jimmy Carter's second term and chest beating Reagan, in order to win, negotiated American hostage for arms.

There is no favorable end to this wat for Republicans before the November election.

I am satisfied that op was not in support of any doctrine. But he cannot justify Monroe doctrine or any gunboat diplomacy as part of American influence in their continent.

Africa and Asia are not part of America, yet their gread has no bound. Regime change for disadvantageous economic gains are their major objectives.

Liberals cover it up with religion and warped justice, conservatives do same with brute force and impunity.

But why are gullible Africans cheering for them

It has never fails to amaze me how humans justify calling enemies terrorists but those who carry out the spoils of war throughout history, their freedom fighters.

Even if the spoil of war in Venezuela or Iran is an exaggeration, how has that changed the neanderthal mentality of the survival of the fitest in the jungle?

Yet, Nigeria is the zoo!

Politics › There Is Nothing Wrong With Paying Taxes by nobaga(op): 4:25pm On May 17
It is true that everyone complains about taxes everywhere. But the saying that only death and taxes are certain came from early civilizations, even in Africa.

The fact is Money circulates in every society to create infrastructure, social services for the poor and the weak.

Any society where Money Leaks during this circulation fractures the process. This is why societies jail Tax Dodgers and money launderers.

There is disproportionate amount of money leaking in African countries with impunity.

Former retired Generals, others are called back to service and others retirement postponed.

Here you have a brave man fighting the scourge of the society, your Ally from Day One, the Northern cabals ruling Nigeria called him to Order!

Hypocrites are fishing out excuses.

Thanks for your trust!

sweerychick:
who told you Jonathan fired Ihejirika? Although I understand where you are coming from, but what happened is that politics played a role in the appointment, Ihejirika being the first Igbo man since 1966 to hold that highest military office, achieved a lot of success in fighting insurgency, but the north east sympathetic to Boko Haram due to their affiliation in Islam cooked up a dangerous propaganda against Jonathan and Ihejirika, they said that Ihejirika as an Igbo man was avenging the 1966 pogroms against the Igbos. A former governor of Adamawa state in 2013 made that assertion, and they hired an Australian lobbyist to tarnish Ihejirika reputation. the momentum grew against Ihejirika and GEJ had no choice to retire him. Now they same propagandist are now paying the price
Parachoko:
Jonathan didn't fire him.

He had to retire when he reached the retirement age
Politics › General Ihejirika Dealt With Terrorists But Jonathan Fired Him by nobaga(op): 3:17pm On May 17
People conveniently developed anesthesia. When the North cried out that General Ihejirika was still fighting Biafra war by killing their people, Jonathan fired him.

The East and the North have always been in political Alliance before and after Independence while the West had remained proudly the leader of Opposition in the Federal, North and East. Fact check.

Akintola pointed this out to no avail. Until and Until Tinubu breaks the jinx.

So can Peter Obi tackle Terrorists better than Jonathan?

We Have No Parties Only Prodigal Politicians Fighting For The Treasury

Africa, for how long! We reap the dysfunctional seeds we sow. Our leaders who are today the fathers and mothers of Nepo-Children swear that their children must enjoy everything they lack or were denied when growing up under disciplined or poor parents. When other members of the communities see the outrageous and conspicuous spending of money their leaders did not earn, they emulate them. Even if not in politics, they die trying to get rich by any means.

Each of the recircled prodigal politicians would do anything to empty the Treasury, promising Salvation for almost 70 years. Instead of the masses fighting their oppressors directly, they waste their energy and useful time falling for ethnic distraction of the three ethnic groups getting Power to become the President. While the voters and the combatants ignore most of the well qualified minorities across the North to South of the country, the hegemon takes charge.

Nigerians have lost count and even number to so many millions and billions Prodigal Politicians and their cronies have looted out of the country. There are so many investigations at home and abroad to recover billions in dollars which were never returned home. If these looted funds are repatriated back to Nigeria, another set of looters are waiting to recoup them into their private pockets. We wonder at what point the disenfranchised people would have enough and revolt!

The American popular documentary series written by Alex Hailey in the 70s showed when a white child asked the father: if you said Africans were too dumb, why would you not allow them to read and write. He answered that education was a double-edged sword. It would cut both ways. South African white leaders including P. W Botha and Ian Smith of Rhodesia predicted that you cannot leave Africans to themselves because they would be self-destructive.

Indeed, nobody asks how people make their money anymore, unlike the days when living above your means exposed some odious means of income. We used to report our fellow students who spend money suspiciously. Even today, a few parents have refused expensive gifts from their children because they do not know his means of income while other parents gleefully accept expensive cars. If you report their children, they would ask you “shey nah your money he steal”?

Politics › Re: The Brutal Final Hours Of General Aguiyi-ironsi: Beaten, Dragged & Executed by nobaga: 4:58am On Apr 19
These people would rather work with or serve under Fulani than free Awolowo or work with Yoruba, not to mention installing Awo as the "Best President Nigeria Never Had - Ojukwu"

Awo was promised that he would be freed from Prison if he formed some alliance with NPN, he refused.

He wrote Ironsi to grant him Release twice. He and Ojukwu refused.

As soon as Gowon released Awo, the same Ojukwu claimed credit!

Foreign Affairs › Re: Food Given To U.S Soldiers On Warships Near Iran (Graphic Photos) by nobaga: 10:54am On Apr 17
The only point here is that Iran lost their leaders. Has that changed the regime or their focus?

Those who spent multi billion dollars on defense have lost most in the Middle East leaving them vulnerable to China and Russia.

Where does the trillions defense budget go? Securely in the pockets of contractors and politicians like bandits and terrorists contracts in Nigeria in the pockets of politicians.

Iran spent hundreds of dollars shooting down Iron Doom built with millions and still get through.

Bottom line, some leaders will die for 72 virgins in heaven, others leaders will die in their humogous homes, Rose Royce, Bentley etc.

No matter what, the poor will outlive the rich and greedy always looking for slave until they start eating one another. How many live after hundred years?

Learn from Blacks. They are durable and unrelenting after surving every assault for centuries!

Foreign Affairs › Re: South Africa Detains, Deports Three Nigerians by nobaga: 5:30pm On Apr 06
Chai, you fall my hand, no be small. This girl is probably younger than your own daughter, less educated and less exposed.

Yet, you are not defending her country's right to reject nuisance to her country! Nigeria was the place to be; well informed South Africans, Ghanaians and Blacks in Diaspora would tell you during Western Nigeria's First In Africa.

Yes, Nigerians traveled out then but could not wait to get back home. You are comparing Nigerians to Asians that came to Nigeria to make a living when famine was devastating their countries. You rested on laurels worked for by Nigeria's Activists, bragging all over the world until you overstayed your welcome mats, establishing where you do not belong. Even worse, equating it to being civilized.

If we have enough Nigerians or Africans like this girl to talk sense into our heads, Nigeria would have been a better place today. These are the same African countries that drove whites out bragging there are Nigerian professionals, Peace Keeping Force and Police to train their people. A few warned then that Nigerian exploiters are worse than whites.

An educated man like you is defending failures, greed, aggrandization and foolish pride that became resentful at home and abroad. Shame!

One guy told me, if you ran away and left Vagabonds In Power, we have lost the right to criticize. Money is not the only goal in life, Teachers made little money and they were the most respected. You remember?

This girl should be praised and declared a hero for talking senses into our heads. I will not be surprised if she turns out to be a Nigerian sef.

Dancebreaker:
Rubbish. Even the Boers who claim SA today left the Netherlands and with other Europeans annexed SA land. Europeans did same in the Americas. People have always moved and will always do.

The same SA has Nigerian scholars and professionals paying taxes. My course mates in Europe were Asians, Americans and from all the continents. By nature of the course, all stayed for at least a few years for post-grad professional training. Majority still work here today.
Many of them came from elite families in USA, Asia and elsewhere and were able to easily pay for the most expensive course. Others were on National Govt scholarships, especially the Asians.

Going abroad is not all about poverty or seeking greener Pasteur. When Columbus left Europe to "discover" America, Venice, Florence, Rome, Paris, London, Lisbon, Madrid and others were thriving. He could have lived in any of them comfortably.

If Nigeria were like Singapore today, Nigerians would still travel.

Do not let self-loathing drive you to support someone who promotes xenophobia against other Africans. It's a very poor form of wokism.
Foreign Affairs › Re: South Africa Detains, Deports Three Nigerians by nobaga: 1:40pm On Apr 06
As a Nigerian, I am ashamed that a fellow African whose parents and grandparents fought and died for their country is here to tell Nigerians the truth.

Whatever some South African told you had been said by Mandela and many times by their present radical leader. Nkrumah, Zik and Awolowo did not fight for South Africa so that Nigerians, Ghanaians or even Zimbabwens can go there and reap rewards while looting their own country blind or resting on the laurel of their Independence Activists. Then worship conspicuous money spenders aggrandizing themselves until the laurels of past Activists ran dry.

Instead of you guys to stay in your community and make it livable, you call it a Zoo and run out to other parts of the same country or outside looking for greener pastures.

Stay home.

I congratulate my South African sista for setting your brains right.

Dancebreaker:
I wonder o. I travel to places like North Africa, various parts of Europe and beyond. In my school days, while donating lunch money to ANC and seeing South African students on Nigerian scholarship at our local University, I yearned to visit SA one day when they become free of Apartheid. Now, I won't go if given a private jet. I wish them good luck.

Nigeria should issue regular travel warnings on South Africa. If it's not burning down shops of other Africans, killing Lucky Dube believing he was Nigerian, stopping people from accessing hospitals and vital services, wanton killings, it's scapegoating other Africans.

They learned hate, Apartheid tactics and xenophobia from their Boer masters very well.

Note and listen for the umpteen time. No country, not even the United States rely on on electronic transmission alone, another AI.

VOTES must be backed by physical ballots and so kept for years. Electronic transmission can be easily manipulated by third, fourth or any party remotely and throw the process into chaos.
