The CJTF post as much threat to BH as the Nigerian Army, so why are they not at least lightly armed instead of turning out to be target practice for those vermin's. We haven't gotten security right yet in this country.

Death penalty to armed kidnappers.

I fear for the Fulani herdsmen. Let's hope somebody find a lasting solution to this menace.

How do you learn when there is no one to do the on-site installation so you can learn and also develop. Most cafe operators learnt from installers. Give me a call, 08166894416

Its time we introduce casteration into our laws. Any male above the age of 18 involved in rape should be casterated.

Unfortunately not.

NTA should start a channel....NTA Oldies....where they show old series like that...and put it on DSTV and Startimes bouquets!

Seconded. It will remind us of who we were and who we should be. A nice nolstagic sense of belonging. Let's hope someone in NTA is reading this.

I am waiting for Russia and China to pull the plug.

He actually meant it is time he kicked the bucket.

At least this thread will be devoid of tribal comments.

India is a glorified Nigeria. A substitute for hellhole.

I just love this country. Nigerians are always up to one to issue or the other. The other time it was two Nigerians fighting in a airborne jet.

Where exactly does Cultism and Militancy meet.

Toss these to the lions, they reached the peak of their usefulness. Society has no place for their type.

Ugosample:
That is another perspective to it tho...
Nice. At least you have a grasp of what is going on, not like some people making noise here

We should learn to see things from different perspective instead of being overly stuck to a view that is anti diplomatic and screwed in one direction to the advantage of a few. The moment Putin starts to act bossy across Europe, this will only unite the EU more. Putin, in fact Russia doesn't see America as a threat, the real threat is in Asia and stage is yet to set for a proper confrontation. Polish-Russo relationship is a off an on switch, America should learn to live with their hostilities.
Europe might be experiencing harder times of late but they know how to put Russia in check.
The two live off each other.

Ugosample:
You have some points tho, but Fighiing ragtag rebels in Syria, and trying to defend your interest in Syria, and trying to work with opec to your own advantage (which Russia will normally not do; but because of they are being strangulated) is not enough to say that they are striking deals across the world.


To even tell you the truth China is even in a better position to challenge American hegemony than Russia.

And lastly, Western Europe will not menf fences with Russia, at least from what I see.
Europe and the USA are United in purpose to keep Russia at bay, and I don't see that ending soon.
Even some former Soviet countries are now NATO, and American allies (congressnen were even there last week to assure them )

So how does Russia want to surmount all these?

Let me hear from you

If EU countries refuse to mend fences with Russia, that's fine but so long as they rely heavily on Russian resources and the Ragtag Syrian rebels are not funded by American tax payers money, this should help relieve the noose around the Russian economy. A wealthy Russia is bad news to NATO, but America will learn to live with this. Trump will not be that stupid to commit resources to destabilise any country in middle east in order to please Europe. If Europe wants access to energy resources in the middle east, they can as well go it all alone instead of dragging America along.

Ugosample:
Well, the sad reality of life now is that American "imperialism" is here to stay for at least another few decades and there is nothing much Putin, Russia or China can do about it.
we may be sentimental and say that American imperialism has done this and that, but the reality on ground is that it will still continue.

Russia's economy is tanking and the Russian Rouble is turning to tissue paper due to the sanctions on their neck, and if the sanctiobs continue (and more will definitely be added this week after the congressional hearing) till the end of 2018, the Russian economy is done for, that is why Putin is desperate, trying to work with OPEC (who thought that day will come) to increase the price via oil cuts, and trying to warm his way into Trumps heart to loosen the noose from the neck of his economy.


How much slack Trump will give him is left to be seen, but looking at things, how the sanctions enjoy bipartisan support, the blowback from loosening the noose would be disastrous for Trump.


America has Rusdia by the balls right now, and I don't see how they can challenge the status quo in this state they are in.

As it stands presently, NATO members are Americas greatest allies on earth. But they all share different views on immigration in Europe. Europe has never been this divided. Greece is emerging from almost a decade economic downturn, Italy's economy is nosediving at a higher rate than ever, Most nations in eastern Europe are shutting their borders against immigrants who have left their home en masse following America's disastrous intervention in the middle east, Germany has always been peaceful until now, France isnt sure when the next attack will happen, England has its hands full with Brexit. The whole of Europe is becoming a military zone because it accepted imperialist ideologies that is foreign to its history.
Did the white house put all of these into consideration before igniting all these un-necessary proxy wars? Definitely not.
On the other hand, Russia has succeeded in striking deals across the world. This in my own opinion is not a small feat.
America has only succeeded in created more enemies than it needs. If crude oil prices continue to rebound in the new year, global economy are likely to rebound, even to the delight of some oil producing states in America and Canada.

Who gets the thumbs up? Vladimir Putin or the Outgoing Obama administration.
I am not a fan of Vladimir Putin but his carefully planned approach to diplomacy rings a bell all around the world and I can only applaud it.

Trump has a business background, he is cerainly going to focus more on the America economy and going by his recent tterances, I don't think he gives a damn about NATO as he has always criticized its members of contributing too little to its financial portfolio while America has continued to increase its quota. Trump doesn't buy this and this will definitely affect his decision making in Europe. Will this be to Russia's favor? I think that will depend on Putin's ability to mend fences with foes across Europe.

1stCitizen:
You need to understand that many people here have lived in both sides and many other sides as well before using that as an argument which is very weak I dare say.

Putin enjoys a mind boggling approval rating of 83 percent. The highest of any Russian,Soviet leader(ever) or world leader(in recent times). Even outside Russia. In Europe, Asia and South America, Putin is a symbol of defiance against American hegemony.

The illegal invasion, destruction and various regime change black operations of The United States over the last few decades, which has been spearheaded by the Military industrial complex, corporate America and International Banksters did not help matters. The Public has recovered from a systematic induced lobotomy from a culture planted and controlled by orthodox mainstream media.

The failure of western imposed multiculturalism, malfunctioning democracy, global Neoliberalism and political correctness and the rise of the Russian ideological model should give you worry that the end is near for US imperialism. By challenging the global role of the U.S. and EU, the Kremlin is pursuing an anti-globalist agenda.

In addition, by developing a political system in Russia characterized by authoritarianism,nationalism, and populism, Putin has provided an ideological and political template for right-wing parties throughout Europe. Does Brexit ring a bell? Does Trump's victory ring a bell, Does the rise of popular nationalist candidates in France ring a bell.

In diplomacy, the Russians have managed to make the United States and its allies look like amateurs in their shadow pipeline war in Syria and has effectively sidelined the US and EU in the latest ceasefire agreement. Within a year Putin is now calling the shots in the Middle east.“The Russians understand the relationship between military means and diplomacy infinitely more than Obama does,” --- (Robert Ford, a former Obama administration ambassador to Syria).

The fact that last month, Qatar (a major US ally and a sponsor of anti-Assad forces) withdrew from the war with Syria after reaching a deal with Rosneft, the largest company in the world, owned by Russia against US sanctions, The Russia-OPEC deal coupled with the new romance between Turkey (A Nato member) and Iran a regional power shows who is running things in the Middle East.

This is like a game of chess and the Russians have shown that they are the Boss.

Thank you for carefully taking your time to lay out and analyze the obvious facts. Many pro-american nairalanders are blinded to this facts because of their unwaivering love for anything America. The
white house through its network of foreign intelligence realise how potent Vladimir Putin as a seating russian president can be.
These latest rivalries started with the request by Poland to establish antinuclear missiles system on its soil. Since then, America uses all means and might to upset any Kremlin move in other parts of the world and this has made things worse all over Europe and the world at large.
America should stop thinking it is doing the world a great favor. Its policies are just creating enemies among rival nations with long history of differing ideology and way of life.

I m asking because I m not sure but was it China that Hacked Sony or North Korea?

Nearly all of North Korea's internet traffic is routed through China's ISPs.

Originalsly:
I just don't get it.... sending the diplomats packing because of an accusation?.... Russia meddled with the elections results but you can't say how?.... and didn't they know this all along before Trump was declared winner? I think this is Obama and Hillary and the Republican war mongers getting at Putin because he successfully got the different factions in the Syrian conflict to reach a peace agreement....leaving the US out in the cold.

I can bet, Nigeria would have handled this case better than Obama's government did. America will not produce evidence because it is equally guilty of hacking into other country's system. No country spies other country's like America does. Ask the Isrealis and Germans

fkdmods:
You just nullified your own argument.

You are the one who has tried too hard to reduce this topic to the socio economic status of both nations. The Russians have too many things uncommon with the American society.It cannot withstand the American economy, but the truth is that there is nothing the American govt can do about Russia's influence in europe and middle east at large. It is the largest supplier of gas to europe. It shares more similarities with Europe than america does. I know for one that Russia, despite all of its adventurism has not caused massive immigration in europe as seen today.
In fact, it is helping to mitigate this disaster while Uncle Sam who is responsible for the mess, sits comfy thousands of miles away.

For heaven sake, who is the villain here?

fkdmods:
What is more important than personal experience? And yes he's right. Russia has nothing to offer the world. What do they have? It's own people want out of the country. Ok, you are are not using google but you are still using something close to it. I ask again, do you understand the politics in russia? They are like Nigeria with a revolving door of corrupt politicians and worse a more corrupt system of re election. The fact that you don't know this speaks volumes. And for your information, Russia has the highest number of nuclear warheads. It doesn't matter though. All you need is maybe ten to to twenty in order to destroy the whole world. Plus, you seem to have forgotten or don't know that Russia was the first country to invade afghanistan. Oya, start googling.

Why would i bother about other country's economic well being when i have mine to worry about. Our argument stemmed out of international diplomacy and wrangling between two world powers but you intentionally veered offpoint. You try too hard to sound to smart or educated, the harder you try the more you amuse me.

I see flaws in a system, i point them out. But you, your love for everythimg obama and uncle sam is so incurable that you are beginning to sound unintelligent. Since you delegated an assignment for me on russian invasion of afghanistan, for your own good get a book that is unbiased, undiluted and neutral about the cold war.

justwise:
This is really embarrassing to read, so Obama should specifically favour African Americans because he is black? What will you say if Trump favour only whites?

Obviously, you intentionally misquoted me. There are areas of the economy that afffect both the white and black but the black more, especially during hids administration. This includes crime and gun control, African American maternal death, Increased racial attacks by the police. These and other issue was never paramount to his administration. And please nobody should school me on how african americans are responsible for most of these crimes. If obama didn't do better for Black Americans don't expect trump to be the saviour.

fkdmods:
Again, remember what i said about living it before taking sides or having opinions on an issue. You forget that i am black. How the hell did i do it that other black men couldn't. For you to be able to respond you have to understand America and how it works. Also, stop for phucks sake with the googling thing. Black America voted massively for Hillary Clinton. She lost because of the electoral college.

Why do you keep mentioning google on your post. There are other reliabl mediums people get information other than !!!!GOOOGLE!!!! You pick on the russian people and the govt and compare it to a poorly developed african country and you think that is fair? Did you see obama"s facial expression when he insulted russia. He tried to ridicule a country by saying "Russia has nothing to offer the world except Arms and Crude Oil.

Who has the highest number of nuclear war heads in the world.
Who is responsible for arming every jihadist group in the middle east?
Who is the first to invade a nation with a fledgling democracy, against the united nations charter?

fkdmods:
The best way to have an objective opinion about anything is to experience both sides of the coin. Have you? Do you understand Russia or America? Forget what google is telling you. Have you lived in either or both? I have. Guy, you don't know what you are talking about. Russian are praying for a change with all their hearts but what they have is what Nigeria has. A revolving never ending door of corruption.

And what exactly do americans, especiall african americans think about obama? If the obama administration had partly helped in lifting the economic fortune of the average african american, maybe the outcome of the election might have been different. Besides, both sides of the coin are imperfect.

Obama's administration in conjuction with its NATO allies underestimated this putin guy. Right from the days of KREMLIN and chechyen, he has shown exceptional qualities in winning these tiny wars and battles to the admiration of the russian citizens. This is the leadership quality that the soviets has lacked for years. He has been able to avoid confrontations with his fellow counterparts in other parts of the world (turkey comes to mind).

Obama was able to cow his allies and fellow countrymen with his orator skills. Putin on the other hand, despite his poor mishandling of the russian economy ( partly caused by the obama administration) is that leader who is hardly swayed by rhetoric. He knows when to strike (surgically) with maximum efficiency. Kremlin occupation, Intervention in the syria crisis, successfully striking a deal with the OPEC countries and alleged role the russian govt played in influencing the voting pattern in the American election. All these could be attributed to the skills and intelligence gathered from his early days as a former KGB Agent.

Putin might not be a good economist, in fact he sucks in this area but when it comes to international diplomacy and relationship, obama could learn a lot from him. Watch the way he rallies russia former enemies, makes friend with everyone with ease. His qualities are just exceptional. By the way, some of trump's elected cabinet members are very good friends to putin.

Obama's rush to expel the russian diplomats just shows how feeble and petty his administration has been. He has only suceeded in putting the incoming trump administration in a quagmire. Moscow has repeatedly denied involvement in the hack, the same way china denied the SONY hack.

Op, just go out there and have fun. The world has more headache to worry about than your marauding mind. Or better still go get a job to fill your empty time.

fkdmods:
Are you sure these are soldiers? I just can't believe it. The Nigerian military is probably the most unprofessional bunch i have ever encountered. Jesus. Smh.

Remind terrorists of professionalism when they kill innocent souls. I am very sure they will gladly conform.

Nonsense

I noticed IKEDC was not mentoned . The power sector is slowly maturing and adjusting yo the economic realities on ground. The players just need to be creative and device means to make the business sustainable. The good thing is that we now have a transparent (seemingly) power sector unlike what we had in the previous regime where the policies and management of these national assets were shrouded in secrecy and contious denial.
The stakeholders need to be proactive and device means of generating more revenue. What is Paramount at the moment is for the govt to put in place a policy framework that will encourage FDI into these sector. As more FDI comes in so also will professional expertise come in.
Transparency is really, really key. Moreover, the purchasing power of customers among the discos cannot be at parallel with each other and at such rates will have to differ just like the rates differ I'm other come untried too.
Slowly, we are approaching blower sufficiency.

Religion is never a problem, it is people are a nuisance to religion
There are over 300,000 Christian in Iran, which is the birthplace of shia Islam and they live in peace with the over 40 million muslims in that country. Tolerance and love for one another is key to continuous existence of our traditions and religious belief.

And what do you dowhen you need to Skype with ba friend or associate?
I'd say,
1. Always use your guest account when you are online
2.Disable plugins as most attackers exploit weakness on these programs to access your PC.
3.Monitor your traffic always to check suspicious activities going on @ the background.
4.Use a firewall when you are online, stating all outgoing traffic must match a rule you set on your router.

There is no singular solution to ward off hackers, just like there are many means for an attacker to access a network.

PetroDolla4:
Shraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap! you nigerians are the most hypocritical bunch of mudder fuggers on earth! Imagine nigerian listeners calling into a radio station in your country to stop the playing of Ghanaian music on that radio station called Brilla FM in Abuja and you are here spewing crap. You and your fellow magg0ts are full of hatred against anything Ghanaian. Deal with that first before spewing crass nonsense! Fuelish g0at!

You again. I thought you have been healed of the rabies virus.
