Honestly speaking, I think if I put Buhari as CEO of my company, my company might still exist after 4 years, but if I put Atiku, my company would likely not exist after 4 years because 100% of his administration would be PDP members who would be busy being corrupt!

The truth is that corruption exists everywhere, and in every country. The current administration are simply using it to hide their inadequacies. Have you noticed they blame the past administration for everything? I now know there's a reason why the US played a major role in getting Buhari win. Jonathan was simply too smart, and they needed a stooge to manage the affairs of the most populous country on earth

budaatum:
Are you weeping and cursing? Pele.

Not all Nigerians are "weeping and cursing" and by historical standards this is mild "weeping and cursing", or were you not born when we were on the streets crying military must go with our lives?

Five years of Atiku and we would be weeping tears of blood, at the least.

Atiku may not have been the best option but, let's be honest, he and his deputy would've been much better than the ones we currently have.
If you were the CEO of a company, between Atiku and Buhari, who would you employ to help your company grow?
Kwarrupshon isn't the only problem we have in this country. Let's forget the current (scam) anti-corrosion rhetorics of the current administration. They're fighting corruption but 2/3 of their cabinet members are former PDP members

budaatum:
We probably might. Imagine Atiku in 2023. By 2028 Nigerians would likely be weeping and cursing.

We dodged a bullet there! We voted to reduce the pigs feeding excessively at the trough.

Sai Bubu Next Level!

Zombie. So nigerians are not weeping and cursing currently, right?

jaxxy:
Sadly in world leadership the reality is there can be vacuum and if any of the others are there u will understand what I’m trying to say. U still don’t know the real Iran until u give them too much power. That is the concept I am trying to show u here.

I perfectly understand your point. Nature abhors vacuums. Eventually, the US will fall and another will arise, and the cycle will continue until earth ends

realokopi:
When ever I sit alone all I think is if there other intelligent lives out there in other planets. If at all other intelligent lives are going to be discovered let it be when am still alive because that day would be the most happiest day of my life.

It might also be the day we'll all die. Read about the Fermi Paradox. It might give you a likely clue why intelligent alien life has not (and may never) be discovered

jaxxy:
I know quite well the us are not saints bt does that make Iran better? I think that’s the main question here. I understand the concept of ultimate power and I know what each persons or people with their ideologies can/will do.

The us will make mistakes and misjudgments bt also correct them were possible. Sm will bring worse destruction if they were in America’s shoes. TRUST ME!!!

Look at hitler with Germany as an example.

None is better. No country gave US the mandate to be the global police. The US are just serving their own interests by interfering in the affairs of a sovereign country. The US makes mistakes, but I've not seen where they corrected the mistakes, but I've seen numerous instances where they but the blame on another country, or pretend like they weren't wrong (like they did when they accused Gadaffi of possessing nuclear weapons), or tried to cover it up (as they did with Agent Orange during their war with Vietnam).
The truth is that the US needs wars. Their economy is dependent on wars so they can sell weapons and steal resources.

Hitler wanted to control the war. There's no difference with what the US is doing; the US is trying to control the war by proxy (installing puppet governments). That's actually what they tried to do in Syria but it didn't work

itsme01:
That is why Buhari ordered Nigerian Army to pull out of all internal secuirity concerns and let police handle it, and Chad and Niger troops are heading back to base... everybody knows something is cooking except some childish Ipobians who think war is a game


but you sef go dey form Ibo too am sure you love hot Amala with Ogunfe and bokoto with some abula (i can see you salivating ) SMH Lagos Ibo..

You were making sense, but then you had to add this nonsense to spoil everything you're saying. Stop making references to IPOB when you're making intelligent comments, it makes you seem silly.
Also, stray bullet from boko haram or the army doesn't know whether you're IPOB or not

slyfoxxjoe:
Yes I referenced MAD in my earlier response to someone saying Russia would go to war with U.S. In fact I said it is the reason there is likely never to be another world war as all countries understand that would mean the end of the world itself.

Yes I also know hostilities between Russia and U.S started after WW2 and led to the 'cold war' which as you know was not an actual militaristic war but just more of intense competitiveness between the two countries trying to outclass each other on the world stage. That is still going on and I believe will never end as both countries have very proud histories to uphold, but open warfare between the US and Russia I can guarantee will never happen. They are only likely to fight small proxy wars in far away regions against each other or team up to fight smaller countries with no nuclear weapons.

Yes, open warfare between the US and RUssia will never happen. There's something I love about the Russians, they'll rather end the world than to allow anybody subjugate them. If not for their dexterity, the US will love nothing more than to make them stooges. However, with the things going on these few days, things may change. Iran and Syria are military allies to Russia, and in the event of a major escalation of offensives, a lot of countries in the middle east (excluding Isreal and Saudi Arabia) will get drawn into the conflict. In the end, this is a war the US will never win.
Come to think of it, the US has never won any war

jaxxy:
Cos they never had a chance, check Egypt history and learn. Don’t be deluded. America is the light and the best thing to happen to the world.

You're actually more deluded than I am if you really believe what you said. Let me give you an advise, please don't believe everything you see on CNN, BBC, Fox news and the others. Do your research by yourself, you'll be surprised what you'll learn.

Ewedegubbler:
Which history book have you been reading? Arabs yes, they dont have the mental and economic capacity for such adventure. The Chinese yes, the Chinese aren't interested in other peoples business but theirs, and that's why I laugh at people talking about china going to war with the USA because of some mumu Iran but as for the Persians, they once were a world super power back in the days Cyrus the Great until the Macedonians ended them.

Talking about American hegemony, Empires are forged through warfare, blood and economic dominance which the USA happen to have in abundance. Mind you, the USA is a much humane and benevolent world power when compared to their predecessors and even the pretenders like china and Russia...

You know your history. The Arabs were once a superpower for many many years. Also, I'm sure you know empires are forged and empires die. Nobody would've believed that great Roman Empire will die. The US will eventually die, either through enternal influences (the world merging forces for a frontal attack on the US, on US soil) or internal influences, such as we're already seeing.
Your idea of benevolence is killing people who oppose their reign? That's crazy. Their murder of Gadaffi is one of the reasons why we have Boko Haram in Nigeria.
I personally don't really like the Chinese, but if you check history between the USSR and the US, you'll see Russia has a tangible reason for how they view the US

thorpido:
They probably have a herd mentality.

Totally wrong. He was loved by his country. He singlehandedly spearheaded the fight against ISIS.
Do your own research and stop swallowing all the news you see in CNN, BBC and the others. Western media is an avenue the west uses to spread their supremacist agenda

jaxxy:
And isn’t that far better than being overrunned by a bunch of Arabs or Persians or Chinese communists?

We need to understand reality and deal with it.

In the history of the world, there has never been a time when Arabs/Persians and the Chinese has tried to take control over the world in the way the US is doing. The US has always found a way to maintain their hegemony and they don't care if people have to die in the pursuit of that quest

SenecaTheYonger:
Democrats are evil in general. They're the ones parading fake news about Russia interfering with USA election, but they freely interfer with other countries because they're more superior.

I truly hope that trump did use Russia to win. It would be Karma.

Russia did interfer in the elections. They did so to make sure Hillary Clinton didn't win. They saw the risks involved if Clinton won. She's a warmonger, and would've been a bigger threat to world peace than Trump currently is

Asour:
So if the US disregard for Jonathan was due to gay rights has Buhari enthroned gay rights in Nigeria Now?


As we speak is there respect for gay rights in Nigeria ?

So the US as intelligent as they've proven to be would not be able to reckon that a Moderate Southerner (Jonathan) was more likely to Foster gay rights on than a Core (Muslim) Northerner?


Our opposition for a leader should not cause us not to balance arguments properly.

It was more about daring to challenge their authority. Jonathan had to temerity to say No, and that was the genesis of his problems

slyfoxxjoe:
Russia would never form a coalition against America. Forget all the Geo-political hostilities between the two countries, whenever there is warfare, Russia and the US are always allies. This has been so since World War II when they teamed up to defeat Nazi germany. If you read the latest news, Russia is already backing away from Iran and warning then to cool down.

The only reason why it seems there's a calmness between US and Russia is because of the threat of MAD (mutually assured destruction). US knows Russia can turn it to rubble, and Russia knows the US can too. The US and Russia has never been allies, where did u get that info from?

I like how you referenced world war two. That's actually where the animosity between US and Russia started. Towards the end of that war, The USSR fought the Nazis to a standstill and lost millions of soldiers as a result, while dealing severe damage to Germany. They had to invite the US to help. By now, Germany has been severely degraded and so the US mostly did clearance work. The issue arose when US started claiming to be the ones who destroyed the Germans, and that's what has been written in history books (most of which are what we read in schools today).
Russia has never forgotten this, and they know well though that US isn't to be trusted

jaxxy:
Obama was the one who feed ISIS fat, pampered them while flogging them with a paper sticks. Obama is majorly responsible for the Syrian refugee crisis.

Obama, Trump, Clinton...all of them have stuck with the American principle and the ultimate agenda of pushing the American hegemony further

Fuckyoumod:
are you sure your in this world?


Forcing who on what?

America spent a lot on Iraq, the lost men and women in Iraq, they built a multi billion dollar military bases in Iraq.

Who is going to pay for all that? You? Or your big empty head?

So Iraq should pay up and America would leave.

The American mass propaganda machines claim that it was the US that defeated ISIS. They claim that US airstrikes killed 80,000 ISIS fighters, while at the same time they claim ISIS had a total of 50,000 fighters in their other sources. America probably lost less than 5 people fighting ISIS. They came in and killed Al-Baqdadi after ISIS was defeated, because they were the ones not letting anyone else kill him.

West2019:
is not typing nonsense what is saying is that no any country will defeat Israel even the Bible say so .

Fortunately, the Bible says Israel and not US. They may be allies, but not the same country

israel90:
Iran is a chief sponsor of terrorist they should not be allowed to have a nuke

That commander actually played huge roles in defeating ISIS, but the US will never tell you that. US is the terrorist in this case. I know you don't know, ISIS may have not been a creation of the US, but it was certainly fed and grown by it.
Do your research and you'll be surprised by how little you know

SaintsSamurai:
It's for the benefit of the whole world at large.

Ignorant people will still bash Donald Trump.

You're actually one of the ignorant ones

TOSIN116:
People supporting Iran hope you know this man has killed thousands?

If Iran is the US only God knows what we world be facing.

If you know the millions of people that the US has killed, you wont be saying this

realestniggah:
I don't see how any sane individual can support the US who are known for war mongering.

First of all the United state are wrong to enter an international air space to fire using a drone on a citizen of another country.

I don't see in the news where a foreign government come into the USA to unleash a weapon. It never happen.

Why does the United state feel they can do that and get away with it?

Did Iran government ask for help before firing that drone?

How ever I you loom at it the United state are wrong.

Up until yesterday this was the first time I'm hear of that man.. And from images and videos I've seen he seem like a man who was loved by Iranian citizens.

If y'all support this.. I hope y'all are gonna support the USA when they come in here and fire a weapon killing Nnamdi kanu or sowore simply because someone labeled them terrorist.

Most people on this forum are just ignorant. I'm happy there are still a few sane people like you left here

Powersurge:
F-35 is obsolete? Waoh? The future of modern warfare is not on air? You a great analyst kudos.

The F-35 is obsolete. After all the billions of dollars sunk into the program, by the time it's development was completed, most of its features already had better and less expensive variants.
No doubt, it's a very capable fighter, but other less-expensive options are available. Don't get me wrong, the F-35 will be used for years to come, but as a high-tech fighter, it's already outdated.
Several countries are already building 6th-gen fighters

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Heard of a BLUE NAVY? i hate to admit it,,, united states is the only naval power on the face of the earth that can project power to any part of the globe!
how did they achieve it? that's a million dollar question! if you ask me, i will say...
"at the political level,,, they're above us, government after government successfully did & submitted her home work as regards domestic & international policies...they have a clearly defined template in art of governance"

there's a reason they have and maintain military/naval bases across the globe. china or russia don't have such luxury.

You're right, and I like how you know that the US projects their power with their navy vis their aircraft carriers. Russia has developed a missile specifically for taking out aircraft carriers and current defence systems on aircraft carriers are unable to protect against this missile.
Also, the Russian naval philosophy has NEVER been about surface warfare. They've always preferred submarines.
Iran is surrounded by US bases. The US builds bases to protect their interests and assets and some countries agree to have US bases sites in them in exchange for aid. Other countries are bullied into allowing them site the bases in their territory. The problem with physical buildings, bases included, is they can easily be taken out if you have the right munitions.

The US foreign policy has always been based on intimidation, but that has been waning considerably

toxicbrain:
And you think US is stupid enough to show what they have up their sleeves? Lol. You must think they are one dumb country. With the amount of Money they allocate to defence and the number of bright minds in that country. Believe me, the F-35 is no where near their best jet fighter neither is this s400 defence systems.

When push comes to shove you will know why they are number 1. After all I did read up on the s400 defence system and you said that shit can defend a whole country from US? Lol. It has geographical limitations, easy destruction of batteries in isolation, incapable of handling multiple missle unslaught and the rest.

Bro. You guys so much underrated US

I never underrated them. They're a very powerful country. I just don't overrate them the way you're doing.

The US always shows their new weapons. You can follow DARPA on Instagram to see their latest weaponry. Every country shows their military might, that's why they do drills and parades. The F-35 is their best fighter so far and the S400 was developed by Russia and not the US.

I never said an S400 can defend an entire country. Unless we're talking about a country with a small land mass like the Vatican. You'll need multiple batteries, places at strategic locations around a country to protect that country.
The S400 has a range of up to 400km and so for you to destroy it, you need to come close to it, and how're you going to do that in an aircraft when you have missiles fired from the S400 closing in on you from all sides. The SAM can also engage multiple targets at the same time, you you and your buddies are in trouble.
The system is mobile and can be moved from place to place, unlike those of the US that are fixed.
It can track and engage with many different types of missiles and so even before your missile reaches it, the operators of the S400 can move it to a different location and it'll still take out your missile before your missile hits.
I also learnt that an upgrade, the S500 is already in development

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Operation Desert Storm is not the same with the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Moreover...start making use of PARAGRAPH please. It helps the reader to easily read & comprehend.

Sorry about the paragraphs. I was working while typing that comment and so my attention was very divided.
You're right, I mixed up the two battles but my main point remains same

OZAOEKPE:
Lol, Iran do anyhow they see anyhow. China and Russia no go save them.

Story.

wingmanIII:
You think you know half of America s war machines?
You know absolutely nothing. Not everything is released to the public or media

Of course I don't know half. I never said I did, but I know all the ones currently deployed

bankylan:
F-35S obsolete? Please what makes F-35 series obsolete? Guess you have been reading a wrong piece on the internet. IDF just took delivery of another squadron.........S-400? This has already been circumvented by the IDF.
The future of warfare isn't in the air? Are you a military strategist who knows better than Pentagon? Here this, in conventional war, no nation comes close to the US in weapons, strategies, logistic and capabilities to strike from anywhere in the world. War with Iran does not translate to war with Russia and China as these two countries will only watch.

For years, Isreali defense force-IDF has been striking Iran interests in Syria and Iran has not responded.

Any war between the US or Russia will go nuclear and both nations won't do such a stupid thing.

The F-35 is a 5th gen fighter. Some countries are already in the 6th gen. There's so much hype on the F-35 because it was going to be a fighter to end all fighters, but the development took too long and in the end, when its deployment was completed, there were already many systems available to circumvent it. I've not been reading a wrong piece, I get first-hand information. I may or may not be a military strategist. I may not know better than the US, but I'm sure they themselves already know that the future of warfare isn't in the air. The US has the highest military budget, but do you know a bulk of that budget is expended in servicing their military bases around the world? War with Iran will degree to a world war, that's why the US Congress is already condemning the strike. Right now, Russia is only sitting on the sidelines, they didn't play a heavy role in Syria. Of course countries will buy US weapons. If you're an ally of the US they won't allow you buy from other countries.

1StopRudeness:
I hope you are right......I don’t like the way US bullies other nations just becos they have a large budget for their defense department.....for long they kept Iran out of the oil market..., simple agreement they can’t keep...

The US needs wars. They need the wars to sell their weaponry at very high prices. A huge part of their revenue is from selling weapons

bankylan:
S-400 developed by Russia has been circumvented by the IDF..........S- 300 has been operational in Syria, yet IDF operates with ease.
Who is overestimating the US with such a huge budget on defense. Iran can only attack by his proxies and will try to avoid a direct confrontation with the US. The stealth B-2 bombers and the F-35s will do a lot of damage to Iran. US just made a bold statement and we all can relax and see what Iran will do.
IDF has been killing Iranian military men and destroying their assets in Syria without a response.

Nope. Right now, no one knows the true capabilities of the S400. We may know it has a range of up to 400km, know it has the ability to engage many targets at the same time, know it's mobile, know it can carry many different warheads, know it's impervious to radio frequency jamming. These are the ones we know, but there are many more that we don't know. I don't know much about the S300 but I know the S400 is an upgrade to it, and it's currently the most advanced missile defence system on earth. Many times better than the US' patriot.
Forget about stealth. Stealth went obsolete since the 1990s and most modern radars can detect stealth aircraft. The B-2 spirit is slowly being phased out, they're not very ok in modern warfare. The F-35 is a very expensive disgrace to the US, after expending so much on its development. The F-35 program too so long to be completed that by the time it was ready for deployment, new systems had been developed to counter it.

otuekong1:
Wrong analysis
1.Sunnis hate shias more than they hates Christians
2.Most middle eastern countries are Sunnis
3.Same S400 system couldn't spot and stop Israeli F35 when used in syria
Most terrorists have wahhabism Sunni ideology
Its gonna be a lose battle for iran

It's not about liking or hating other religions, it's nationality that is the thing right now.

The truth is that Russia did not engage the Israeli and American fighters over Syria. Russia used Syria as a laboratory to gather data and experience on stealth aircraft including the F35. One of the fighter pilots said that when they were flying those sorties, they knew they were being watched
