His political detractors are desperately trying to capitalize on this to destabilize his governance in Anambra state.

Can’t all these “evil” politicians ,who think is their birthright to rule, just give this man a break. Why must they play politics with people’s life?

These guys aren’t IPOB. These are political thugs trying to make a statement. And it’s obvious from the places they have attacked so far.

Soludo should not play into their hands ... let the Monday •sit at home” stand

Yayi is doing well politically in Lagos, what's his obsession with Ogun?

Well if the Yewa people consider him one of them so much as to represent them in the Senate, then good for them.

However it will very difficult but not impossible for him to win a governorship contest in Ogun. They consider him as a 'Tokunbo'

What “well” has this bumbling dude done for the folks in Alimosho? With his little side kick (so called oluomo kafata -prince of isheri) selling off all the lands running along the “pipeline” canal to his cronies at 10 mil a pop.

Democracy does not work here. What we have is a bunch of selfish, barely educated, obese bunch shuffling along the corridors of Power with bloated ego in agbada for show.

It will be hard to get out this democratic quagmire with folks like yayi at the helm.

Igbofam:
USA are the master strategists and negotiators.

Russia is about to experience hell and the death of their air superiority

So US gave Slovakia her Patriot Missile batteries in exchange for their S-300 given to Ukraine.

I love the United States.

How could you be this naive? It means you are “Not” reading beyond the headline.

Ukraine have always had the S300 complexes, but they have been mostly destroyed by the Russians.

Giving them another batch doesn’t solve their immediate operational problems.

American will give Slovakia patriot system thereby becoming the sole supplier of arms to these European nations... it all about the money and market

Imagine what Ukraine would be if this war drags on for months if not years since the west are setting up an insurgency in Ukraine.

The country will be so thrashed and destroyed.. and many refugees flooding Europe. This will certainly not benefit Europe; and could lead to a new nationalist rise In Europe. American would love this because she want to maintain these European states as a vassal colony wholly dependent on US, with NATO as a body to keep them in check.

I wonder when European leaders would grow some brain and see the consequences of the proxy against Russia. At the end only America benefits!

sulaak:
Reasonable countries are not fighting war again because they have outsourced wars to your backyard. USA defence budget is $740 billion per annum, you think that budget is for buying sweets.

You need to wake up, your so-called Western friend is truly your enemy, you think Shell, Exxon and Total are working for Nigeria's interest.

As Rage Against the Machine will say no your enemy.

Indeed, 740 Million budget is not for sweets. It’s for war! And war by proxy.

Ukraine is the latest proxy.
They are prepping Taiwan to go against the mainland
Benghazi boys were a proxy in Libyan war
Daraa protesters were a proxy in Syrian conflict.
MKK are a proxy in the cold Iranian war
Guiado and his clans are a proxy in Venezuelan political tussle

They have millions to spend on arms for their proxies but can’t spare a thought for the war ravaged Victims of their proxy wars.

How heartless can a mighty be to seize a meager savings of Afghanistan when this country’s badly needs this money to feed her poor?

Seizing the sovereign wealth of Venezuela with she desperately needs this money for cover for her people during Covid.

They can be mean and heartless when it comes to their interest.

After the course of this war, many will write stories about this episode in our life. I recommend that these historians get a balanced view from all side and write a “fairly” accurate history.

You can NOT get a balanced view from the main stream media. Read broadly even from those in the front line to get fair understand of this event.

WarGonzo is at the front line
Patrick Lancaster is at the front line
Gonzalo lira is at Mauripol
Anna news have reporters on the front line.
Colonel Cassad is writing from Crimea.

Many of these reports are in Russian. Many are on telegram because twitter and other msm have banned any narrative that is contrary to their own spin.

Try to get a balanced view of this event, and write a good history.

For your Information, The Tochka-U missiles is not in the Russian military inventory..

This missile is only used by Ukrainian and Belarusia militaries..

The Ukrainians did this, judging from the direction it came from.

I think you are doing a good job by helping to educate a lot of these kids here on NL who can’t read past the headline and make their own enquiry on a pressing issue like this.

Tochka-U Is no longer in the service of the Russian Armed Forces. Islander system replaced Tochka-U in 2020.

Ukraine has about 18 launchers of these soviet missile, of which many have been destroyed during the course of this war.

According to the Russian MOD:

08.04.2022 (14:50)
Statement by Russian Defence Ministry
In order to accuse Russia of an alleged missile strike on Kramatorsk railway station, Kiev regime has posted on social media pictures of Tochka-U missile launchers that took part in "Union Courage 2022" Russian-Belarusian exercise inFebruary.
Please note, all photos published by Kiev from "Union Courage 2022" exercise show non-Russian missile systems.

Tochka-U tactical missiles whose wreckage was found near Kramatorsk railway station are used only by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

According to clarified information, the strike on Kramatorsk railway station was carried out by missile division of the Ukrainian armed forces from the area of Dobropol’e, 45 kilometres south-west of the city.

The aim of the Kiev regime's strike on the railway station in Kramatorsk was to disrupt the mass exit of residents from the city in order to use them as a "human shield" to defend Ukrainian armed forces positions, as in many other Ukrainian population centres.

Realizing the inevitability of death, some units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to surrender, both in large and small groups, thereby weakening the already crumbling defense of the city. At the moment, it is safe to say that the Ukrainian garrison of Mariupol does not have much time left to exist.

It is worth noting that after the victory, the troops of Russia and the DPR will free up a large number of units that participated in the storming of the city. In addition, Mariupol will become the first "fortified city" taken by storm. The Ukrainian army, on the other hand, will lose a significant part of highly motivated and well-trained fighters, who will be very difficult to replace at the moment.

Armed Forces of Ukraine are losing the battle for Mariupol

The battle for Mariupol continues. The remaining combat-ready Ukrainian troops are on the verge of defeat.

At the moment, the grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which remained in the city, is pressed to the sea. The maneuver of the troops is severely limited due to serious losses in military equipment. The firepower of the garrison seriously sank due to losses in artillery and a shortage of ammunition. According to the military of the DPR and Russia, taking part in the liberation of Mariupol, Ukrainian troops will only allow themselves to use mortars against the storming groups, which are periodically advanced from the shops of the industrial zone.

The air bridge, which the Ukrainian command tried to organize by attracting transport helicopters to deliver food and evacuate the wounded, was also unsuccessful. Flying helicopters crashed due to air defense systems of Russia and the DPR. However, this does not completely put an end to the Ukrainian garrison of the city, but the fact that in fact most of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are squeezed out into industrial areas and can no longer use the civilian population as a human shield. This unties the hands of the Russian army in striking Ukrainian troops with heavy weapons. So, the Grad MLRS is already hitting the industrial zone, the 152-mm Acacia self-propelled guns are working on direct fire, in addition, the Russian military’s Tyulpan self-propelled gun was seen moving into position within the city. The use of such weapons will inflict significant losses on the Ukrainian military remaining in the industrial zone.

That’s a gate of a local government head quarters. That also a reflection of the root cause of how problems: we the people are the cause! This chairman is the “BUHARI” of that local government. He could effect changes despite how meager his allocation is: fix the entrance road. Initiate policies that could sustain the welfare of his community.
No, he won’t! He will sit on his fat butt and dip his fat fingers in the LGA coffers and steal all that he could. He will do all to deny his community any form of development. Just the way we do in Nigeria. Drop trash on the road... blame LAWMA; Openly defecate, but cry when cholera kills a loved one. Pee on the road, in the gutter. It’s a terrible situation, and we are responsible for this mess!

For on the ground assessment of this Russo-Ukraine war in the city of Mauripol, watch Patrick Lancaster’s coverage of the city as the DPR forces attempt to take the city.

I reckon he is equally as clueless as his party in terms of ruling a nation right. In fact, they are all clueless! All of them in all these parties....PDP, APC, APGA ... all clowns

You are 100% correct!
You cannot have the president of a country without education and expect something good to come out of him. Never! Education of our leaders matter. Research shows that people who graduated from college or University are more likely to succeed than those who did not. So, if president Buhari was educated, he would never have appointed someone like Mr. Amaechi into his cabinet. That is why Buhari has failed Nigeria .

Not only the leadership... even the rank and file. Give them proper and adequate training.

A typical Nigerian soldier and police does not know how to use a walker-talkie. I am saying this from experience. I had 4 of them from Beecroft guarding a vessel. Provided them with cheap Baoteng coms kit. They could not use it. They could not communicate with one another. It’s pathetic!

They are all clowns!

Is it a Nigerian thing or what? Why do they often come up with the wrong approach to issues?

If you don have enough guards... then recruit. There are many young “northern” men jobless at Alaba Rago.

Cut down government Wastage and recruit more men.

Bro, i really can’t understand the guys we have running things in this country. Is it that they are dumb or they think we are dumb, or both?

Has this dumb prick ever looked at the map of Nigeria in Africa? Is he going to run the pipe across the raging jihad in northern Nigeria through the instability in the Middle East to his so-called European customers, and outsell the gas-rich gulf states?

Or is he gonna bend the curve all around west Africa to Europe? How is this dimwit going do this? I just don’t get these guys running the show here in this country?

Is our education system this bad to produce such clowns in this news report? What’s effing wrong with us?

We are struggling to build a light rail from orile to okokomaiko.. this has taken years.
Those “abokis” at that stretch of road has turned the road into open toilet. The whole rail road (orile-mile2-festival-abule ado-LASU-ok Ojo)is littered with excrements. It’s appalling.

The rail we have running to the north are pretty often held up by marauding head choppers in the north. Check the recent kaduna news.

By the way, Aren’t we importing gas?

Speech of the Head of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Colonel General Sergei Rudskoy


In accordance with the decision of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief since February 24 this year. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are conducting a special military operation.

Its main goal is to provide assistance to the people of the Lugansk and Donetsk people’s republics, who have been subjected to genocide by the Kiev regime for 8 years.

It was impossible to achieve this goal by political means. Kiev has publicly refused to implement the Minsk agreements. The Ukrainian leadership twice in 2014 and 2015 tried to solve the so-called Donbass problem by military means, was defeated, but did not change its plans on resolving conflict by force in the East of the country. According to reliable data, the Armed Forces of Ukraine were completing the preparation of a military operation to take control of the territory of the people’s republics.

In these conditions, it was possible to help the Donetsk and Lugansk republics only by providing them with military assistance. Which Russia has done.

There were two possible courses of action.

The first is to limit the territory to only the DPR and the LPR within the administrative borders of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, which is enshrined in the constitutions of the republics. But then we would be faced with constant feeding by the Ukrainian authorities of the grouping involved in the so-called joint force operation.

Therefore, the second option was chosen, which provides for actions throughout the territory of Ukraine with the implementation of measures for its demilitarization and denazification.

The course of the operation confirmed the validity of this decision.

It is conducted by the General Staff in strict accordance with the approved plan.

The tasks are carried out taking into account minimizing losses among personnel and minimizing damage to civilians.

With the beginning of a special military operation, air supremacy was won during the first two days.

Offensive actions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are carried out in various directions.

As a result, Russian troops blocked Kiev, Kharkov, Chernigov, Sumy and Nikolaev. Kherson and most of the Zaporozhye region are under full control.

The public and individual experts are wondering what we are doing in the area of blocked Ukrainian cities.

These actions are carried out with the aim of causing such damage to military infrastructure, equipment, personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the results of which allow not only to shackle their forces and do not give them the opportunity to strengthen their grouping in the Donbass, but also will not allow them to do so until the Russian army completely liberates the territories of the DPR and LPR.

Initially, we did not plan to storm them in order to prevent destruction and minimize losses among personnel and civilians.

And although we do not rule out such a possibility, however, as individual groups complete their tasks, and they are being solved successfully, our forces and means will concentrate on the main thing – the complete liberation of Donbass.

Significant territories of the Lugansk and Donetsk people’s republics have also been liberated. The people’s militia has taken control of 276 settlements that were previously under the control of the Ukrainian army and the national battalions.

Demilitarization of Ukraine is achieved both by high-precision strikes on military infrastructure facilities, locations of formations and military units, airfields, control points, arsenals and warehouses of weapons and military equipment, and by the actions of troops to defeat opposing enemy grouppings.

Currently, the Ukrainian air forces and the air defence system have been almost completely destroyed. The naval forces of the country ceased to exist.

16 main military airfields were defeated, from which combat sorties of the AFU aviation were carried out. 39 storage bases and arsenals were destroyed, which contained up to 70% of all stocks of military equipment, materiel and fuel, as well as more than 1 million 54 thousand tons of ammunition.

All 24 formations of the Land Forces that existed before the start of the operation suffered significant losses. Ukraine has no organized reserves left.

Losses are replenished at the expense of mobilized persons and personnel of the territorial defence forces who do not have the necessary training, which increases the risk of large losses.

At the time of the start of the special military operation, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, together with the National Guard, numbered 260 thousand 200 servicemen. During the month of hostilities, their losses amounted to about 30 thousand people, including more than 14 thousand – irretrievable and about 16 thousand – sanitary.

Of the 2,416 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles that were in combat on February 24, 1,587 units were destroyed; 636 units out of 1,509 field artillery guns and mortars; 163 out of 535 MLRS; 112 out of 152 aircraft, 75 out of 149 helicopters; 36 Bayraktar TB2 UAVs – 35;

180 out of 148 S-300 and Buk M1 air defence systems; 300 out of 117 radars for various purposes.

The AFU continue to use high-powered weapons indiscriminately against towns in Donbass. An example of this is the strikes by the Tochka-U missile system on the civilian population of Donetsk and Makeyevka.

In this regard, they are the primary targets

. As of today, 7 Tochka-U launchers have been destroyed, and 85% of missiles are in arsenals and in the air. This significantly limited Ukraine’s capabilities for their combat use.

Since the beginning of hostilities, the Western countries have supplied the Kiev regime with 109 field artillery guns, 3,800 anti-tank weapons, including Javelin, Milan, Konkurs, NLAW ATGM, M-72, Panzerfaust-3, 897 Stinger and Igla MANPADS.

We consider it a vast mistake for Western countries to supply weapons to Kiev. This delays the conflict, increases the number of victims and will not be able to influence the outcome of the operation.

The real purpose of such supplies is not to support Ukraine, but to drag it into a long-term military conflict “to the last Ukrainian.”

We are closely monitoring the statements of the military and political leadership of individual countries about their intention to supply aircraft and air defence systems to Ukraine. In case of implementation– we will not leave it without attention.

We also hear assurances from NATO leaders about non-interference in the conflict. At the same time, some member states of the North Atlantic Alliance propose to close the airspace over Ukraine. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will immediately respond accordingly to such attempts.

In order to prevent the restoration of weapons and military equipment of the AFU that have received combat damage, the Russian Armed Forces are disabling repair enterprises, arsenals, storage bases, logistics warehouses with high-precision weapons.

At the moment, 30 key enterprises of the military-industrial complex have been hit by cruise missiles X-101, Kalibr, Iskander, and the Kinzhal aviation complex, which carried out repairs of 68% of weapons and equipment disabled during combat operations.

Russian modern weaponry has proven to be highly accurate, reliable and capable of operational use.

I would like to emphasize that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation do not strike at civilian infrastructure facilities, including the destruction of bridges across rivers.

127 bridges were destroyed in the area of military operations. All of them were blown up by Ukrainian nationalists in order to deter the advance of our troops.

Another example of recklessness is the mining of approaches to the ports of Odessa, Ochakov, Chernomorsk and Yuzhny, where over 400 anchor mines of obsolete types are installed.

At least 10 mines have broken anchor and are drifting in the western part of the Black Sea, which poses a real threat to warships and civilian vessels.

The rampant crime, looting and marauding and civilian deaths have been caused by the Ukrainian regime’s massive uncontrolled distribution of tens of thousands of small arms to the civilian population, including to criminals released from prisons. The situation will only get worse in the future.

The course of hostilities, the testimonies of civilians who left the blockaded settlements and captured Ukrainian servicemen show that today the AFU’s ability to resist is based on fear of reprisals by neo-Nazis. Their representatives are embedded in all military units.

The mainstay of the Kiev regime are nationalist formations such as Azov, Aidar, Right Sector and others recognized in Russia as terrorist organizations. In Mariupol alone, they include more than 7 thousand militants who are fighting under the guise of civilians, using them as a “human shield”.

The militants of the Azov battalion drive women and children out of the basements, threatening them with weapons, and send them towards the advancing units of the DPR in order to hinder the advance of the people’s militia. This has become a common practice for them.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, on the contrary, seek to avoid unnecessary losses. Before the start of the offensive, the AFU units are invited to leave the combat area and move along with equipment and weapons to the point of permanent deployment. Not to resist when the offensive begins and those who lay down their arms are guaranteed safety.

Civilians caught in a war zone are always advised to stay in their homes.

Humanitarian corridors are being organized in all cities to get the population out of the area of hostilities, and their security is also maintained.

Humanitarian corridors are being created in all towns to allow people to leave the area where the fighting is taking place, and their security is being maintained.

In addition, at the initiative of the Ukrainian leadership, the country has become a home to 6,595 foreign mercenaries and terrorists from 62 states.

They are not subject to the rules of war and will be ruthlessly destroyed.

Today, the number of foreign mercenaries is declining. This was facilitated by high-precision strikes on their bases and training camps. On March 13, more than 200 militants were killed and more than 400 wounded in Starichi and at the Yavorovskii training ground alone.

I note that not a single foreign mercenary has arrived in Ukraine in the last seven days. On the contrary, there has been an outflow. Within a week, 285 fighters escaped into Poland, Hungary and Romania, I hope without Stingers and Javelins.

Previous experience has shown that man-portable air defence systems (MANPADS) and ATGMs are spreading out fairly quickly, along with the mercenaries who return home.

In general, the main objectives of the first phase of the operation have been achieved. The combat capabilities of Ukraine’s Armed Forces have been significantly reduced, which allows us, once again, to concentrate our main efforts on achieving the main goal – the liberation of Donbass.

In eight years, in the area of the so-called “joint forces operation”, a defence belt has been prepared that is deeply echeloned and well-fortified in engineering terms, consisting of a system of monolithic, long-term concrete structures.

In this regard, in order to minimise casualties among the troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Lugansk and Donetsk people’s republics, the conduct of offensive operations is preceded by a heavy fire attack on the enemy’s strongholds and their reserves.

At the beginning of the special military operation, the LPR and DPR people’s militias were confronted by a group of 59,300 people comprising the most combat-ready units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the National Guard and nationalist formations.

As a result, Ukraine’s security forces in the OOS zone lost about 16,000 people, or 26% of their total strength as of 24 February this year.

More than 7,000 of them were irrecoverable losses.

Replacing losses is prevented by isolating the Ukrainian grouping of troops in Donbass, taking control of railway stations and key road routes with firepower.

The supply of missiles and ammunition, fuel and food to Ukrainian forces has been almost completely halted.

The field depots of missile and artillery weapons and ammunition, as well as fuel located directly in the area of the Joint Forces Operation are being hit. To date, 32 facilities have been destroyed, or 61% of the total.

All weapons and military equipment, including foreign-made, seized by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation during the special military operation are handed over to the People’s Republics. Already 113 tanks and other armoured combat vehicles, 138 Javelin and 67 NLAW grenade launchers and other trophy weapons have been handed over.

Units of the People’s Militia of the Lugansk People’s Republic have liberated 93% of the republic’s territory.

Fighting is currently taking place on the outskirts of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk.

The People’s Militia of the Donetsk People’s Rupublic controls 54% of the territory. The liberation of Mariupol continues.

Units of the Russian Armed Forces together with the People’s Militia of the Donetsk People’s Republic are conducting an offensive to liberate settlements to the west of Donetsk.

Unfortunately, there are casualties among our comrades-in-arms during the special military operation. As of today, 1,351 servicemen have been killed and 3,825 wounded.

All family support solutions will be taken over by the state, raising children up to higher education, full repayment of loans, housing solutions.

We receive a large number of appeals from Russian citizens wishing to take part in the special military operation to liberate Ukraine from Nazism.

In addition, more than 23,000 foreigners from 37 countries have expressed their willingness to fight on the side of the people’s republics. We offered the leadership of the LPR and DPR to accept this assistance, but they said they would defend their land themselves.

They have enough power and resources.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will continue to conduct a planned special military operation until the tasks set by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief have been completed.
