Sit down there.

What's aligning?

Let military intervention happen and see how crime is going to increase in Nigeria.

Do you know that the ousted president was taking instructions from France on the fight against insurgency?

You need to get information from other sources outside the western media to truly know what's going on.

Information from which other sources? Anti western media perhaps?

And what's wrong with taking instructions from France on insurgency. I believe he was taking advice. Who else will he get advice from?

And no body wants military intervention but sanctions and other measures like this cutting off of power supply..
Foreign Affairs / Re: 41 African Countries Sign Military Agreements With Russia (Photos) by Phraences: 8:57pm On Aug 03, 2023
Between the West and Russia i will always pick the West. I don't like some of the policies of the western powers and in the past they colonized African countries and exploited their resources but i will always pick them over Russia and China. Always.

I believe in democracy and not dictatorship. Russia will always applaud countries like Mali, Burkinafaso and now Niger. We know how military rule always ends up.

This Burkina Faso president that is acting like a freedom fighter liberating his people from Western captivity, just give him a few years. Lmao. They have made THE WEST their excuse for seizing power. African leaders will embezzle the country resources and go to Economic summits and be blaming THE WEST.

THE WEST, THE WEST, THE WEST. grin cheesy grin

Before you know it, opposition are silenced, media are silenced, internet is shut down while corruption continues.

Does a military man know what leadership, dialogue and negotiation is? I pity the people of Niger jubilating now. From frying pan to fire.

Hi guys,

So I recently got a job in a big 4 firm. Apparently I’m in tax and I am absolutely not finding it enjoyable.

I’m sad about this because I want to do audit.

I’m only sticking it through, it appears I cannot move in my firm because I just joined and going to a year.

I do want to leave to another big 4 firm to audit as I don’t mind starting over but then I do not know the process of doing this to make this move.

How do I cope with something I absolutely do not find joy in.

Advise…..



Until there is opening in another big 4 for Audit stick with your present company na. And there might be an internal opening for an Audit person in your company later.

Your question sef get as e be. Na only people who don chop belleful dey ask this Kain question.

Dis current Senegal president struggled in 2012 before he became president, the incumbent president then changed d Constitution to allow him contest for the third term... Dis guy defeated him and d president stepped down peacefully and returned to his farm.... I think d current Senegal president is suffering from short term memory loss, because if not, he should know better and learn from his predecessor that left a hero... What's d joy in allowing your country burn?
You've been ruling since 2012, is dat not enough

African leaders are selfish . They masquerade as freedom fighters just to get into power only to hold unto power till death or forced out.

Babinski:


The supply of power to Niger by Nigeria is not an act of benevolence but rather a wise move to avoid a situation in which Niger puts one or two Hydro-Electric dam across the River Niger as it flows through their country before entering into Nigeria. Such dam by Niger will affect the utility of the Niger River for our own Hydro-Electric power plans.

If Niger has the backing of Russia and somehow survives anything we through at them now, when they dam the Nigeria River in Niamey or elsewhere it will not be a pleasant experience for us at all. Nigeria needs to approach this matter with caution and wisdom. Whatever battles you fight, try to project or envision the various possible end results before you go and commit yourself.


Russia at the moment wants to be on the good side of Africa. They have been trying to woo African nations. Before they move against Nigeria, the Giant of Africa for a country like Niger they will weigh the pros and cons. It's not easy to chook your head for wetin no concern you.

As a Military Colonel or General, If you want to rule, simply resign join Politics and contest

You can't bully people to lead them as dictator.. that is long gone and unacceptable


* To the people confused on why we provide electricity to neighboring countries*

Nigeria Generates its electricity through Dams , we Dam rivers like Niger and Benue that flows in from other countries

For the water flow to have enough force to turn our turbine in places like Kanji we needed to stop other countries from building their own dam with the river

General Abacha had to sign an agreement with the neighbors, that we provide electricity and they pay but they are not going to Dam the river

* Why is it our Business ?!

Hillary Clinton, Obama and Gaddafi started a war in Libya...

Illicit arms from Europe got into Libya

Boko Haram began buying cheap illicit arms

The insurgency has lasted for over 10 years

how many years would Niger Crisis and it's insurgency last if we don't act now?!

Can we handle Niger IDP and refugee flowing in to Nigeria

.

I didn't vote for Tinubu but i know the danger of military rule. Civilian rule no matter how bad is always better.

I support Tinubu and ECOWAS decisions on this matter 100%. No to Military rule. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. As long as no be Angel Michael dey head the Military coup it's a no for me. Human beings are the same. The military itself will be corrupt and the 'Bloody Civilians' won't be able to even complain.

"after the birth of my first child, I wanted to leave him, but I couldn't because he was a good man,"

You wanted to leave because of the issue but didn't and instead decided to drop another baby.

"Three years ago, he became much better. He got a small job, Started bringing in little for upkeep. I saw change and I was happy. We had our second child last year after 8yrs.

Religion / Re: Givers Embassy Church: Where Tithes, Offerings Are Forbidden by Phraences: 10:17am On Jul 30, 2023
Another way to scam. Tithing is not compulsory. I grew up Catholic and while growing up it was only Sunday offerings we did. Most parishioners never tithed. The priest never preached about tithe. It was later sef i knew there was something called tithe. When there is a building project or there is need to buy generator or repair church building a special offering is called and people are asked to donate for that specific project. Not people tithing and no one accounts for the money. Some Christians will even say they don’t care what their pastor uses the tithe for, that it’s between the pastor and God. Imagine such foolishness. Religion is really an opium.

Health / Re: These Soft Drinks Contain Aspartame — WHO Declared ‘Possibly Carcinogenic’ by Phraences: 4:59pm On Jul 16, 2023
seborrhic:
All the "zero sugar" soft drinks even taste awful because of the odd sweet taste,not even knowing they even have something more worse health wise.
Made a mistake taking one of those rubbish and since then anytime I have to take a drink always look at the cover to ensure its not zero rubbish.
Rather put 10 cubes of sugar in water and drink it than take a zero sugar.
For those diabetics that they advice to take these zero sugars or peoplr trying not to add weight taking it,these aspartame is even worse,so they should please desist from them.

I hate that taste as well. I rather drink the normal soft drink with all its sugar than diet drinks with sweeteners.

I ain't supporting any country but please let me ask you just this question.

If Mexico and any other countries sharing border with US decides to become Russian allies today, what do you think the US would do?

Please be honest and objective with your response.

1) Build the border wall that Trump proposed.

2) Station an army Base at the border.

3) Scrutinize any mexican applying for visa.

4) Send spies to monitor and feed them information.

5) Protect their border.

They will not invade. I repeat they will not invade..

So to you uk did us a favour by killing our ancestors and colonizing this part of Africa and leading us to the current corrupt government? Government in which the UK still has a lot of influence, by the way.

Whatever UK did, Nigerian politicians enabled it. They are not the only ones at fault. The north and south wanted to separate, Nnamdi Azikiwe said no. If he seen the future he would have probably agreed.

Did the UK install our current president? What influence do they play in our current politics. Nigerian politicians and their greed is our problem not UK or US

And as for the Ancestors they killed, i don't stay up at night thinking of Ancestors i don't even know..If UK give me visa i should say no because of dead ancestors?! Or I should reject US visa cos they enslaved black people?

Old things have passed away.

Ignorance!

Russia had better not loose this war if you care about the world and Africa particularly.

The only nation that keeps the excesses and authoritarianism of US and its allies in check is Russia and China. Those 3 help maintain balance of power in the world.

Be ready to accept any propaganda and stupid ideologies the US will force on you and everybody if they win this war(cos it will embolden them). LGBTQ included.

This people are damn good when it comes to propaganda. They know how to make the media portray Putin and Russia as the villain and they as the innocent and peacemakers.

I don't support US LGBT Propaganda but in this War Russia and Putin are the villain. And Russia and China limit their internet to push state narrative. There is no freedom of speech etc in Russia and China like in US.

If today US opens their diversity visa lottery to Nigerians their website will crash..

This shopping spree is fake news. It was not reported by any credible news site just murky blogs and media that were pushing this narrative. It is most likely Russian propaganda. And if she went for shopping spree truly it does not justify Russia invasion. Ukraine was on their own and Russia attacked.

If Nigeria is a part of the world you're concerned with, should you rather not direct your criticism at the corrupt and wicked vermin in Abuja and our state capitals who, resultant from their primitive acquisition of material wealth, impoverished Nigerians to unprecedented degree?. Did they not steal even donated palliative goods meant to ease the sufferings of our people in the middle of a world pandemic?.

Some people will leave the Nigerian government and be blaming UK our colonizers, US, Russia even China for their poverty. They will even add Israel as the cause of their problems.

I condemn the oppression of any human being by another one.

However, if we will be sincere, what is the agenda of NATO? Why the continual expansion? US and Russia don't see eye to eye, at least that is what they make us to believe, why does the US want to enter Ukraine in the name of NATO and then surround Russia?

I feel Russia is just trying to defend themselves. Though their leader could have made a better decision. He could easily have dialogued with Ukraine without the external guys.

Na NATO say make Putin invade him next door neighbour. Ukraine dey their own Putin come invade. It's their choice whether to join NATO or not. Putin wants to be dragging world power with the west. This is not the days of the Russian Federation where so many countries where under Mother Russia. Bosnia, Ugoslavia etc are now independent countries. You can't be dictating their affairs.

Reference:


His troops are better trained than most Russian forces. They got Russia most of the victories and most of the territories seized so far. But this is the problem with hiring mercenaries, particularly if they offer you a service that you simply do not have yourself. Along the line they will grow to become a threat.

This is why the Nigerian government balked at re-hiring the South African mercenaries to conduct the anti-insurgency measures in the north-east this past regime. They can grow to become a threat to the State as we have seen over the decades all over Africa from the Congo to Mozambique and Angola where Putin was once stationed as a KGB agent.

And that is why the West including America limited their activities (civilian military contractors) to non combat duties in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are very corrosive to institutions of government, security and defence, something Russia and Putin are discovering the hard way.

Same thing happening in Sudan. There's always problems when you give mercenaries power.

All those billions of people have governments which collect aid from UN or World Bank and misuse it. US and NATO are not the cause of world poverty..
