See him eye, he looks like a thug.. mtchew...

immortalcrown:

You are either insane or illiterate. I said in every aspect, which means in good things and in bad things. The best and the worst of whatever you can find in Nigeria is in Lagos.

Saying trying in every aspect is different from saying doing well.

That's like speaking positively of 'Blood money', whether you can do good things with it is irrelevant it is still 'BLOOD MONEY'

What ever you buy will be tainted because of the money's origin. Likewise, Sanwo's investment is somewhat commendable, but one most still remember it was borne of murder.. Which even you have acknowledged..

immortalcrown:
Wow! Lagos is trying in every aspect. I am tempted to say that what Lagos has done in the past 7 years is bigger than what Bubu has done in the entire naija in the same 7 years.

Nope Sanwo's decision to betray his own people during the endsars protest is really paying off you mean..

He marched to Abuja to ask for dollops of cash soon after and Buhari obliged...

Nigerians have short memories mtchew...

Only Nigerians vote for a clown and get surprised when he behaves accordingly..

iwaeda:

Years ago Nigeria was doing 2.4 mbpd.
Hope you can read media because of your buckeye.

Things started declining since Buhari wasted years arrive.
No more FDI on new facilities. Learn to be smart and wise, not just defending blindly

Bros you are wicked, did you have to be so merciless...

MyVILLAGEpeople:


Thanks so much

You are welcome

WibusJaga:


I think I need to take a break from NL. Too many bad news everywhere.

Pele, it will get better one day..

MyVILLAGEpeople:


Ok thanks. I will watch them
And you wanna give me any links to study too?
I like making friends with folks like you honestly.

Here is a link for "the day after"

MyVILLAGEpeople:


Damn. You got so much knowledge on this.

Thanks, I learned a lot about the Cold War as a child as my uncle worked in the then USSR just before it collapsed.

I watched two nuclear war films when young

"The day after" that scared Reegan and Gorbachev into reducing their nuclear weapons arsenals

And another British film called "Threads", both are free to watch online.

Watch them and they will give you sleepless nights..

After that when you hear anyone say X country should use nukes, you will respond "U dey craze"

SEGLIZ:
I hope they understand this whole grammar of yours, if only they do those drumming for this war to persist won't do.

I hope so too bros.. This World War 3 will be a different thing o.. Even naija would not be safe..

Grandmeister:

In summary a nuclear war will make world war 2 look like a common riot.

Yup.. I don't want world war 3.. I heard an Oyinbo man say who wants to survive this war if it happened..

I am not sure I disagree with that sentiment..

puremaker7:
yhe! na armageddon be that o..abeg make them settle o.

Exactly Bros, this is why I want this zelensky to see sense..

You fought well, but give up abeg.. The stakes are too high..

Stop this nonsense..

Praxtech:

Except Igbos

Bros I am half Igbo and Yoruba, stop with your tribalism nonsense.. the south in particular needs to be United..

ken6488:
that's what some people don't no they keep saying NATO also has nuclear weapons too,

Yup that’s why NATO strong as it is, has no choice to take it easy on Russia in terms of avoiding direct confrontation..

starstunna1313:

Are you even aware of the countries that make up NATO and the ones with nuclear war heads?!.. It’s not fear. They don’t want to escalate it because of the casualties

Read my lengthy explanation of the effects of a full on Nuclear war, then get back to me..

M.A.D. instills fear in anyone with any sense.

anambraamaka:


Na only then get Nuclear weapons?
Many nato countries get nuclear weapons too
E no just make sense

Nuclear weapons are for deterrence only. You can never really use them.

If you do it is literally the end of the world. This was defined by the doctrine M.A.D. mutually assured destruction.

If Nuclear weapons are fired by either power it would be the end of the world as we know it. Firstly all major cities across Europe, America and Russia would be destroyed..

For the survivors the worst would not be over. Some would die from third degree burns caused by the Nuclear blasts. All electronics and machinery including cars/tractors would stop working due to EMPs electro magnetic pulses generated by the Nuclear bombs..

Then there would be fallout, radioactive dust swept into the air by the bombs. If you inhale this dust or breathe it in soon after the blast, you will first start vomiting then die a painful death within days.

Assuming you survive the fallout which will only become safe after the radioactive isotopes have decayed after a few days (scientists reckon at list two weeks). You will need to stay inside for all of that time. Then you and the many other survivors will need to find food.

Nuclear winter caused by all of the dust swept into the atmosphere will begin. Plunging the earth into a mini ice age. Crops will fail and existing supplies of food will begin to run out.. millions will starve.

That is the best case scenario from a full on Nuclear war. This is why the west is taking it easy with Russia.

Reelz:
why is the US reluctant to fully help Ukraine in this war..

Nuclear weapons, Putin has warned he will retaliate with Nuclear weapons if Western nations are seen as interfering..

Read about a Nuclear War and Nuclear Winter to understand the danger..

There would be mass starvation even in Nigeria as a result

anambraamaka:
Why NATO dey fear Russia like this?

Nuclear weapons..

Enough of this Ukraine abeg.. I am neutral on this foreign war...

africanpride1:
I just love this man, many that are condemning and abusing him won't achieve half of what he achieved if given chance to be in his shoes. Besides, we all know that Leaders rise from among the followers, if Nigerian masses want better Leader, they should change their greedy mentality first.


Obviously, you don't know the person that Buhari loves and trust most. You don't know that the most favoured and trusted Yoruba for Presidency is Babatunde Fashola, Buhari is a Man of Vision who loves Fashola so much because of what he saw him do in Lagos and dedication to truly uplift the Masses as well as infrastructure. That's why he handed over 4 Massive Ministries to him at same Time! Have you ever heard of such happen before in the whole long History of Nigeria? Did Buhari ever give 4 Ministries to even 1 Fulani Man to Control?! Buhari is truly a good man surrounded by wicked Souls who advice him wrongly, I wish he had many more of the likes of Fashola around him, Nigeria would have been a very sweet Country by now. Those that say Buhari is a tribalist or nepotic don't see far into what has happened, he is a good man who believes that Nigeria should make great Progress. Fashola proved his Visionary Leadership Capacity by taking Lagos to greater heights. Tested and trusted. It has also become glaring that the Nepa Technocracts Powers-that-be and Generator Importing Cabal are the ones that have behind the Scene fought tooth and nail to scuttle his Relentless Effort to make Electricity stable in Nigeria. As President, he would have enough Authority to deal with them and flush them out, Fashola would be the best Nigerian next President. Like if you agree, Share if not.

The minister of darkness Fashola?!?

Oya go sit down..

Garbage individual.. when he leaves, I will have no problem saying he was trash from start to finish..

Waka waka president mtchew..

No it is just warlike Europeans fighting as always..

When will the black race take ownership of its own destiny again..

For example I think Nigeria doesn't have one Nuclear bunker or made any preparations for the event of Nuclear conflict mtcheww..

I noticed that nairaland had few threads on the oil price, which was strange given one of the regular APC excuses was that with oil prices being so low they had less funds than the previous administration under GEJ.

Now the oil price is above $100 like in GEJ's time, all we hear are excuses. In fact they are now claiming greater subsidies are required for the same oil prices GEJs govt managed without any hassle..

Ditto Dangote's heavily govt subsidised refineries. His excuse was that it wouldn't be profitable unless oil was above $90. So what is the excuse now? Especially given the fact that the west no longer wants dependence on Russian oil and gas.

Ditto, Gas Nigeria does export some LNG, likewise gas prices are through the roof..

These old Arewa men in power take us for fools. Vote in another Northerner at your peril.. Be aware I have no time for Tinubu either, so we need another younger presidential candidate from the South free from Arewa sympathies..

temmypotter:
So?

Make him launch am first... Mutually assured destruction!

As a matter of fact, UK + US + India + Israel + France will have the entirety of Russia to the ground before he realizes the implication of what he's done.

Putin has to be silenced, no other way around it. How can one mad man's greed and personal vendetta be holding the entire world to ransom. Russians had better turn against the Dictator and displace him else, they might be collateral damage should the West decide to get involved on the war front.

If Putin is allowed to take Ukraine, I don't think anyone is prepared for what will follow. It'd be carnage and anarchy in a relatively peaceful Pax Americana era. The free world as we know it will change forever because of a fascist dwarf of a man

The children on this forum who don't know shit about Geopolitics and are supporting Putin on here as a hero.. May God forgive you.. You lot are just ignorant. Seek repentance and enlightenment now.

If you think this invasion is cause of the made up bullshit "NATO and Ukraine threat to Russia", You are just stupid.. no other way to put it


Modified

I can see the kids in my mention talking trash about the hypocrisy of the west blah blah blah... That's not my immediate concern, I am not saying Bush or Obama were saints.. But at least, America is a country that stands for the rule of law and neo liberalism. I will not go into debate to justify Iraq, Syria or Libya's invasion.... Again it's not my immediate concern.. But let me ask you a question.

Do you want to live in a world with Putin's Russia or Xi's China being the World number one superpower and World Capital, If you can't answer this question affirmatively then you are more of a Hypocrite than America is and you should crawl back into your little hole, your smug erroneous commentary about this issue doesn't make you an intellectual.

I would like to live in a world dominated by Nigeria..

Dalil8:
DPR, LPR, Chechen and Russian forces have taken almost all eastern Ukraine towns and cities. I laugh at those of you that think Russia is losing this war.

A 40-mile long Russian military convoy is en-route to Kyiv at the moment. I doubt Kyiv would withstand another night of fighting.

Let the Russians take this Kiev, so I can sleep well abeg

I don't want this thing to escalate into world war 3 just because of these Ukrainians mtcheww!!

Ukrainians you don fight well, just surrender now jare

foryourmindlol:
Russia is even worse than I thought.


So they targeted a civillian airport and destroyed a parked civillian cargo plane that was not part of the war and a national heritage to Ukrainians?


Chai. Putin is mad!

It was the world's biggest cargo plane at that.. wonderful thing to behold and out of spite they destroyed it..

ifytrik:
I think Africans are the most kind hearted and loving people in the world, the way we are praying for Ukraine has got me asking this questions
(1) If it was two Africa nations fighting each other will Ukrainians give a 4uck?
(2) Is this not the same Ukraine that the federal government once warned Nigerians not to travel to as they were killing black students?
Well I think Africans naturally have Golding hearts, even as am typing this, all my friends and I are seriously praying for Ukraine and I still don't know why.
Well thank God for the good news

I have always asked this question..

I think it is because man first came into being in Africa and as a result all of the world's people are our children.

The ancient Egyptians who first walked up the nile from the African interior from Punt, proudly declared they were the first race coming before all others. Telling anyone who met them this from the Greeks to people's of the middle east. They likewise treated foreigners with kindness teaching the Greeks everything they knew from Mathematics to Medicinal sciences.. Only for the Greeks to claim their advances as their own.. While the Egyptian civilisation eventually was changed from within by invasions of foreigners.. It is why few dark skinned Egyptians remain today.

So our kindness should be tempered with the wisdom of a parent, if our children misbehave towards us we should treat them accordingly..

That is why I don't just embrace all foreigners with open arms, I only embrace those that embrace me.. Even then I trust my own people before all others and still pursue my self interest with those who I don't regard as family.

Look at this emir, fat cheeked buffoon..

I guess they didn't read because it's long. Nigerians are too in a hurry to read long comments.

You're a reasonable fellow. See, bright minds in Nigeria can change the rate at which whites treat blacks just the same way they have changed how they treated Asians, especially the Chinese.

Manufacturing and programming is the core of technology and it's the only thing that will make foreigners value us. Our oil won't even do that because criminals are controlling it. Technology is what will emancipate the black race.

Saudi Arabia gained respect not through oil, but how they used money from oil to hire white and Chinese to build the kind of things they want.

After the whites, Chinese and Indians have built them, they hired Nigerians and black Indians to clean the city and become nannies.

Even the Arab nations know that's the only value we can offer at the moment until the black race outgrows it like the Chinese did.

If you can't build it yourself, use your oil money to hire those who will and when they're doing it, learn from them so you can stand on your own. This is what the Arabs did.

Just imagine a smart person becoming our president and introducing programming, learning how the circuit board works, and how to bend metals to any shape and size from primary school? Just imagine this. The Chinese did this.

Imagine Nigeria doing this and it's compulsory. Imagine the great inventions that will take place 100 years later. No, our president(s) don't think of such. All they want is oil, sharing formula, embezzlement, grazing route, UK treatment, who to blame, etc.

I agree entirely..

But even with the Arabs, the brightest of them went one step further. They have an equivalent of the indigene law, whereby if I setup shop in say Dubai a significant proportion of management has to be comprised of native Emiratis. I think it is up to 50%.

I know first hand, a lot of Emiratis are just plain lazy and there to collect a cheque and some associates have told me first hand their experiences with this system. But again it shows insight, making sure their own people are in work. At the same time if even just 1 in 10 emiratis show interest, they learn the foreigners ways then setup shop on their own. Knowledge has then been transferred and he or she then produces on their own.

The Chinese were famous for it. So much so that some western businessmen stopped manufacturing certain products in China as the Chinese would quickly learn the process then go off and do it on their own..

One explained to me that they even took contracts at a loss, just so they could learn about a specific technology. So for every unit they made, they initially LOST money. But in time they learnt to become more efficient and bring costs down. Then they went into profit and sometimes they then did the same thing of going off on their own. Can you imagine the average (oga you must settle me first) Nigerian adopting such an approach?? Lol

iLegendd:
Lack of technology is the reason MOST whites don't respect or value blacks.

If I was a white man who manufactures almost everything on Earth, I will treat any race that mostly consumes without producing badly because I won't value them.

Your value in life is the value you give to humanity — especially technologically. Life is not all about reading books and getting a job, then buying a car manufactured by a white man and having 6 children with 3 sidechicks while going to Church twice a week.

Imagine all the planes, cars, ammunitions, etc. were bought in Africa. Imagine the respect they'll have for Africans because we have technology and they depend on us.

My dear, I never feel pity for how whites treat blacks. If I was white, I will treat blacks the same way or worse.

Even as a black man, I don't value black men who don't add value to humanity. All they do is either school and food or enjoyment and fun. No productivity.

A white man will even respect a Chinese man more because the Chinese are adding value technologically now unlike hundreds of years ago when they weren't adding any value as Africans are currently doing.

Nigeria has the power to uplift the black race by being self-sufficient like Russia, technologically, but greedy men in power don't know the technological strength of a race = the respect and treatment they get outside the country.

The smartest nation or people are those who manufacture great things, not those who use it. The dumbest are those who consume or use what others manufactured. Blacks, mostly Nigerians, belong to this dumbest category.

A Nigerian man always thinks the smartest are those Nigerians with PhDs and doctorate degrees with big grammar. My dear, they are dumb if they can't manufacture things — technological appliances that'll either change lives for good or destroy lives.

A few blacks are trying, but 95% are just consumers and the world rate us based on this 95%.

Let me ask you a question. If you're a white man, will you respect a race that consumes 95% of what others created, but only contributes 5%? No, you won't. You won't value them. You'll see them as parasites. No one likes a parasite. Do you like parasites?

I have said this for years.. only recently I was arguing with another fellow that almost all of Nigeria's problems are because it doesn't produce and isn't growing economically. I cited Asia and how it earned respect globally through eventually catching up and surpassing whites technologically in some spheres.

The sad thing is most Nigerians don't even see the problem. They boast of academic accolades but do little with it. I have launched companies and worked as a developer creating systems. I don't see many other black developers and of those I do see almost all are Nigerians.. As a race we need to relearn how to produce.. Create and earn value with the creation of the mind. That way you will never be poor. But it takes effort.

It is easy to use connections to score a cushy job like Northerners do. Or use contacts to score government contracts that you know you won't need to properly fulfill like a lot of Southerners are happy to to. Very few in Nigeria are at the bleeding edge creating something genuinely new.. Most want to own property, an oil well or some retail business..

I don't know what the solution is to this, beyond leading by example and showing others the fruits of production.. My mind was shaped at a young age by Aryn Rand Atlass Shrugged, that gave me insight into the western mindset of creation. I never forgot it and I have been a changed man ever since..

Even the fact that others are ignoring your post and upvoting posts just complaining about racism shows that they don't appreciate the deeper reason for that disdain..

ValCon888:
Just imagine Canada becoming a Soviet Republic and a communist country. America will never allow it and will do to Canada what Russia is currently doing to Ukraine.

I'm not for anybody, just analyzing these events objectively.

Whether America or Russia, when your next door neighbor is a super power with nuclear capabilities, you have to choose your associates wisely.

Do you make friends with powerful associates who live faraway or you make peace with a powerful neighbor who is close by? That's the choice for Ukraine.

Now that Russia has invaded, the only thing Ukraine's "friends" are offering is sanctions.

No country is putting soldiers on the ground to help Ukraine stop the invasion.

This is a lesson for smaller countries to sit up and take notice.

Don't be used as a puppet to play big boy games.

Interesting times ahead because China is currently watching these events with glee.

Russia and China are known to back each other up.

If Russia can call the world's bluff to invade Ukraine, what's stopping China from doing the same and taking over Taiwan?

Interesting times indeed.

Bros, China is arguably the bigger player. Between China and Taiwan you have most of the world's semi conductor production. If China takes Taiwan, then they will have the world by the balls..

America might have no choice but to fight China and that will mean world war 3.. sweet Jesus..

CrownedPhoenix:
See that one face

I have realized some people here idolise Putin not because what he's doing is right. But because of their hate for the West.

You hail Putin not because Ukraine deserves this war but because you hate America.

Shame on you lots for supporting the invasion of a country's sovereignty.

I support Putin, because the collapse of the USSR was one of the biggest mistakes in history. There was even a referendum on the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 and the majority said no. Ask that drunken oaf Yeltsin why he ignored the result and split up the country.

Kiev was the seat of the Kievan Rus, the founders of modern Russia. It is the birthplace of all Eastern slavic civilisation.. Its like if the vegetable Buhari gave Ife away to Benin Republic, would any Yoruba be shocked if a Yoruba leader then seized it back..No..

Thus was inevitable.. Don't be surprised if he seizes back central Asia back.. Trust me they love him there..

At the same time the US kept encroaching on Russian territory.. If China or Russia attempted to put a military base in Mexico or somewhere in the Caribbean or Latin America. America would invade that nation in seconds.. Don't believe me, look at what they did in Chile to Allende a democratically elected left wing leader. Hah, Americans are hypocrites.. Jare..
