We are patiently waiting for this blunder from Tinubu. It will be a sad election for him if he follows some stupid advice. I don't support him, and I want him to loss but however, that will be a terrible mistake from a terrible president.

Let ADC be gaining momentum gradually. If you think you will rate ADC with the by-election you must be joking. Any election you conducted during those period are normally rubbish.

They told us that he struck some billion dollars deal in Japan 😂😂😂😂
Perhaps it was where to borrow some billion dollars he was gallivanting for.

chopnaira:
High oil prices actually.

You have come with your false claim. Tell me exactly what was the oil price and stop pasting nonsense to mislead people.

Here’s Nigeria’s reference crude (Bonny Light) annual average price for 1999–2007 using a single consistent series from the U.S. EIA (measured as the U.S. landed cost of Bonny Light—widely used as a proxy for Nigeria’s oil price):

1999: $15.39/bbl

2000: $30.67

2001: $28.16

2002: $26.64

2003: $31.49

2004: $41.16

2005: $57.12

2006: $69.29

2007: $77.90


Source (annual series): U.S. EIA, U.S. Landed Costs of Nigerian Bonny Light Crude Oil (annual table).

FYI: Local Nigerian authorities often quote spot prices (not landed costs), so you’ll see small differences. For example, the Central Bank of Nigeria reports Bonny Light annual averages of $55.43 (2005), $66.46 (2006) and $74.96 (2007).

You are just stressing yourself about gehgeh, this time will past. Few years ago stingy man association reigned and it came to an end. All those boys attending is lecture will still give their girlfriends money when the time comes. Girls will never lose their value in this world but individual girl could diminished themselves.

While is Hamas bent on destroying Gaza. Which one is releasing half of the hostages. What is stoping them for releasing all. They are the ones destroying Gaza not Israel.

patrickmuf:
Watch the video before concluding...He made a good point.

First time I am seeing a normal person on this particular comment section. I don't think they watch the video. People are too emotional. I don't even know this guy and for me I am one of millions that don't give credence to nonsense people online. But if they make any sensible statement I should acknowledge them based on that particular act but not their general behaviour.

With critical thinking and rationality you can agree to what this guy said. Aki and pawpaw I don't think can really make us laugh now but you see Ukwa he will still make you laugh. He said it was their look then that was the key to them been funny.
Let learn how to analyse before criticising.

For myself, but I tell you keeping up with it was not easy.

😁 But Na you still get am. As you dey save am the money go come save you back na

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child. This one come go be an adult. Which rod we go come use drive it out.

Hardeybohwarley:
You're right, I recently tendered my resignation to my school management. Can't imagine earning 30k per month and only collecting 20k as 10k goes for contribution.

The reason many are still there, is because they don't have options.

If someone is ready to support some male teachers, many would have dropped teaching to learn one skill or the other.

10k contribution for yourself Abi Na for who?

APOPTOSIS:
She will end up a Side chick to many married men in the UK.
No right thinking diaspora man will ever wife a woman who already has a record of quickly inviting Police into civil matters like this.
She can only get married again on visiting Nigeria since many men want to JaPa.
The diaspora men...that I know will never never wife her. She's a risk factor already

She is a risk factor as she was supposed to allow herself to be beaten up by men.

Rexymania:
I think he said Atiku shouldn't have contested the primaries with him, since they wanted power to come to the south

You think, you are still thinking. No wonder politicians dey use Ona brain for suya. Election of 2023 is not that long ago that you have forgotten that Wike biggest fight was because he was not given a VP slot after he was recommended.

fmlala:
Good news as the competetion is now driving the price down

What is good about the news. They keep reducing and adding price for more than a year now. Even the reduction has never made sense. Hovering around eight hundred and something to 1000 every now and then.

Reduced price has been abused by this so called outlet. What is even 10 naira reduction

lawani:
How do you address the issue of elections not being held in states with governors using sole administrators?. That is a coup against democracy and it is wrong to release local government allocations to a state that is not holding local government elections. There is a stale mate in Osun presently and it should be solved. An out of court settlement should be explored. It can be possible to hold a new election where all parties will participate

But Edo State governor can do the way he likes be disregarding court judgement and yet money come to the State.

ddippset:
So if it is a court case, his lawyers will tell the judge that he did not see a letter signed and stamped as received because of the large number of files in his office?

Na wa for una oohh

How long would you keep scrambling to defend your slave masters and oppressors?

Some many educated illiterate are on this forum. That is why I love myself. Always be true to myself. I won't support someone and defend rubbish when I see it.
As long as a letter was sent to your officer. Whether you see it or you didn't see it. It's not the sender concern. You have to deal with it internally with your staffs.

DeLaRue:
The cable said it has seen a letter addressed to Mr Wike.

Well, that a letter is addressed to an individual is not proof that it was served on that person, or that a genuine attempt was made to serve him and he evaded service.

Mr Wike has a legal background. For him to say on TV that he was not served notice of the meeting, he must have spotted a legal error on the part of the conveners of the meeting.

It would be difficult to find and serve Mr Wike personally. They should have published the notice in national newspapers, assuming the PDP constitution provides for that option.

Seems to that another legal battle is loading.

Learn not to always defend stupidity. The letter was received and acknowledged by is office.
So it's nobody business whether the staff gave him or not.

I never went with the mass, mob and hyenas over the death of Mohbad. Every Tom, Dick and Harry had something to say.
People don't even know what is their business and what is not theirs.
Amongst the foolish things that happened was the once that were insisting that the wife most do a DNA. Like are you the family of the boy.

😂😂😂😂 adult in human skin. Not every surprise are surprises. Underwear 🩳 oo not something extraordinary. They should ban you for one month in nairaland.

This is why I will never live in Northern Nigeria. We are never one Nigeria, they only love our oil any gas money. That is what has kept us together.
Thank God we left 1990. Only God knows what could have happened to anyone of my siblings.

It is what you feed chatgpt that it gave you back by asking for such questions, I'm sure you just a new user of chatgpt or you are just new to using it that is why you rush to it to ask questions you have are already provided the answer. It is high time you master how to use correct prompt while using chatgpt.....
There is no law like invasion, the only problem here is that Russia is a strong country just because two powerful countries (China and North Korea) are backing them, assuming they didn't seek for support, Putin wouldn't have try to invade Ukraine. Imagine, Nigeria invading Cameroon without some world power support, then you will know that you are in a mess

I bet you don't understand how AI work. You are undermining AI by saying what you said about chatGPT. They have access to correct information more than Google and some other browsers. The information available to them a real and now AI have been trained to think and perform task that they were not programmed to do. Back to the main issue war and invasion did not start yesterday and more wars are coming. War will be fought for whatsoever reason and when it comes to your sovereignty or threat they will fight harder as Russia has done.
Ukraine decided to play into the hands of Russia by insisting for NATO membership.
Now they have loss even more than Crimea.
Till now if you listen to Zalenskey you will know that he is a mad man. That is why I know that he has always been the problem. Setting terms of negotiations, at some points he said he would never have a meeting with Putin.
He is never optimistic on peace and is body language is even against peace.

nnamdi640:
You are feeding yourself chatgpt and you think you know it all....
I'm still waiting for you to give me link to the law that says a country can invade another country. Just because US invaded another country doesn't mean it is all approved

Lol. You better learn. chatGPT is very informed. Nevertheless, in a tread before I went to chatGPT I already explain this same thing and more to someone until I decided to ask CHATGPT then he opined my assessment that was how I sent it to the person. You guys are the once not informed because you won't get intelligent information or some critical matters from a news station.
They are classified information that don't come to the news channel due to Western propaganda.
There is no law that says you must invade a place neither is there a law that you should start a war. But invasion and war will happen anyways once interest is breached.

With most comment I am seeing here I understand why our nation is what it is. Many of you are unaware of the system of education so because government has not stand on age entrance to school over the years you don't know that such exist.
Early entrance to school has always been reserved for the gifted learners, those we called genius not for every Tom, Dick and Harry.

Ketamine9000mg:
This is not making sense at all. So you must wait till you are 16. This is crazy.

It make sense I wonder what is wrong with youth nowadays. Entering school earlier than at 18 was reserved for gifted learners. Corruption has affected all these things that people aren't aware of it. If you want to enter school before 16 you must be a gifted learner. Must they enter school before 16. Instead of registering them in a place where they can practice a skil that will be useful for them you are complaining of ignorance.

People are only quick to insult but they can't comprehend, too much unintelligent people only who are good at criticising. To prove that you are a gifted learner that is the benchmark. In other not to restrict the brilliant once due to age restriction you have to prove it by scoring that.
In those days some were giving double promotion because they were very good. But nowadays even children that are not intelligent are been push to finish school before 16 years.

There is no solution to Nigeria problems but the leaders of the country and the law to fight it.

nnamdi640:
You are the one that needs to be educated. There is no law on this earth that gave a country any right to invade another country. If you think that the country is a threat to your own country, you push the matter to UN as long as the country in subject is also a members...... You can also tell me that the invasion law gave the invader the right to kill innocent citizens of the country invaded

😂😂😂😂😂😂 You truly know nothing about anything happening. It's not a shame not to know. I already typed so many things here but it has been lost so I can't go over educating you but I will just provide an information to you from chatGPT.

✅ Was Ukraine meant to be a "buffer zone" for Russia?

Historically yes — many analysts believe that:

Russia has long wanted neighboring countries like Ukraine, Belarus, and others to be neutral zones between itself and Western military influence (like NATO).

In Russian strategic thinking, Ukraine has been seen as a buffer state protecting Russia from Western powers and providing a protective distance from NATO forces.



---

Why does Russia see it that way?

History & Security: Russia was invaded multiple times from the west (Napoleon, Hitler), so it became obsessed with having friendly or neutral countries on its borders.

NATO Expansion: After the Soviet Union collapsed, many Eastern European countries joined NATO. Russia didn't want Ukraine — a large Slavic country right on its border — to join NATO as well.

Spheres of Influence: Russia still sees Ukraine as part of its traditional sphere of influence, not a pro-Western state.



---

What about Ukraine's perspective?

Ukraine wants to be sovereign, choose its own alliances, and many Ukrainians want to move closer to the EU and NATO for protection and development.

They don’t want to be a buffer or puppet state — they want independence and self-determination.



---

So your question in one line:

> Russia WANTS Ukraine to act as a buffer zone for its own security, but Ukraine considers itself a sovereign country and doesn’t want to be treated that way.
Would you like a visual summary or a simple map explanation of NATO/Russia borders? That can help make it even clearer.

fxexperts:
There was never a time when Boris Johnson said they were not going to accept a peace deal from Russia, you are still talking propaganda. Russia first annexed Crimea in 2014 was that also because they wanted to join NATO, they wanted to join NATO because Russia annexed Crimea from them without any resistance whatsoever. So if you were the Ukrainian president and Russia so easily annexed one of your biggest oil-rich islands, you would not look for a way to get a strong, formidable ally to protect you. Image Cameron is a strong country in Africa, and the match and annex Bonny Island from Nigeria militarily without any resistance from us, will you not ask the president to fortify our military so we can protect our other rich island? So tell me why Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, when there was no talk of Ukraine joining NATO then. Our forefathers has been fighting wars for long now and the main aim is to acquire more lands and territories. why are we denying now. Everything is just for the interest of money. Even China still wanting to acquire Taiwan is because of the raw material for producing chips that Taiwan has in abundance. Nothing more even the US giving protection to Taiwan is still because they do not want China to have a monopoly over the computer chip maker market.

My friend you know nothing about what is happening jor. To even say that Boris Johnson never did. I am talking to a novice in this war. What I told you is a common knowledge and if you looking to hear such things from the news then you most truly be a rated amateur. You think some informations are gotten from your normal mainstream media. In the first week to the invasion Zalenskey already sued for peace until he was given assurance to continue the fight that they would support him. He was so stupid to believe them. You think war appears the way you see it. You don't know about intelligence when it comes to understand behind the scenes. It's like how an official was sent to Saddam Hussein that if he invade Kuwait that nobody would say anything. Then he went ahead to invade that was what cause the Gulf War. Before Russia invaded I knew that if he does Europe will not enter the war. Because I understand the deception of Europe or the West. They are only good at misleading people because this war has been written already. So it was not a news to me. Israel attack on Iran has been written long ago. All they look new to you but to the intelligence community it's not a news. Have you read the book Economy mafia?
You don't know anything about anything about the world except what you hear in the news.
What we know is what some uninformed we call conspiracy theories but they are happening everyday before our eyes.
I will give you and example. Like when Pastor Chris said that COVID vaccine came out from Wuhan lab. There was a great push back and attack on him. Years later they accepted that it really came out from there.
They are things that will still happen again people are just waiting for the reason to do it and yes they will be given the reason to do that. Example again, Hamas vs Israel.

For annexing Crimea he gave valid reasons for that. To me they were valid and the underline reasons is also for Russia security. But it was even more.
Didn't the people do referendum? Crimea was Russia speaking region also.
He said Crimea was part of Russia until it was giving to Ukraine in 1954.
They are more reasons.

😂😂😂😂 When I said you don't know anything about international relations and the war of the world you think I was just kidding. You really need to educate yourself more. You brought report the case to UN. Who is UN? America is the UN and some strong European allies. Have you ever seen UN solving any problem before.
Let me send you something if I haven't before.
