Probably have little to do with corruption or abuse of office but maybe they're growing too powerful, knowing too much and wielding so much influence. Just like when Saraki decamped to PDP under PMB. All of a sudden Buhari and APC remembered he has a case to answer in government accountability, they dragged him to Tribunal
A country as populous and rich as China in an existential confrontation with the Hegemony must be eagle-eyed and ruthless.

Any official, however highly placed, that coughs at the wrong time should be escorted out of the building.
There is no room for complacency. The stakes are too high.

⚡🇨🇳 China plans to order 20 Il-78MK-90A tanker aircraft from Russia by 2028.

A leaked Russian industry document reportedly shows that China plans to acquire 20 Il-78MK-90A aerial refueling aircraft from Russia, with deliveries expected between 2027 and 2028.

China is reportedly negotiating the purchase of 20 Il-78MK-90A tanker aircraft from Russia, according to a leaked document cited by Piotr Butowski on October 16, 2025.

The order, if confirmed, would be fulfilled between 2027 and 2028 and aims to supplement the Chinese Air Force’s limited aerial refueling fleet.

The aircraft, based on the Il-76MD-90A produced at the Aviastar-SP facility in Ulyanovsk, would improve the PLAAF’s refueling capacity while the production of the YY-20 tanker continues to scale up.

Keep on ignoring on ground realities.
the storm shadow is faster than the tomahawk, its not even stealthy. If Russians can reduce the efficiency of the storm shadow do you think the tomahawk would be harder to intercept?
When America decides to send ballistic missile to Ukraine, then know they are serious.

You never miss the opportunity to celebrate your ignorance.
The realities of war is that every new weapon is always a wonder until it's workings is cracked. That applies to storm shadow and the best of Russian weapons as well. So, stop giving me bullcrap about efficiency. Russia didn't intercept Storm shadow in the sense of shooting them down, they adapted their AD to throw them off course and they started missing their targets. That is not an interception in the sense of striking it with a defensive missile. You are free to define "interception" anyhow you want it.

The problem Russia will have Tomahawks is not about speed but rather that it is more difficult to be thrown off course compared to Storm shadow. It's pin point accuracy is top notch. Secondly, Tomahawks can carry nukes and Storm shadow cannot. Even though there are debates about US having destroyed the ones that can carry nukes. That is exactly why Medvedev has been ranting and having fits of epilepsy. They don't know how true it is. If not true, delivery of tomahawks makes Putin's bluff about Oreshniks useless as Ukraine can be presumed to have equivalents of nuclear carrying warheads like Oreshniks.

Lastly, cut me the crap about Tomahawks not being stealthy. They are designed to be stealthy by flying at low altitudes and using a combination of guidance systems to minimize detection. Its stealth is achieved by flying just a few dozen meters above the terrain, which helps it evade radar systems.

And what's the bull crap you wrote about ballistic missiles. Both Storm shadow and Tomahawks are cruise missiles.

The only confirmed one you shot down was in 2023 which was the French variant. Since then, there have been several confirmed hits on russian submarines, military bases and more. 1/15 isn't a pass mark. That is just luck!!

You even had the audacity to bold my statement. I knew what you meant. I deliberately wrote what I wrote. Ukraine requested for tomahawks. It is what they need. You are not the one to determine the most effective weapon for the Ukrainian armed forces by claiming America is serious only when they send ballistic missiles.

When you see a wonder weapon, you will know. You people have referred to literally everything as a gamechanger and wonder weapon until they get to Ukraine and then become scraps. We have heard it all. From bombs to tanks to missiles and now tomachickens. If SCALP/Storm Shadow failed, then tomahicken is just another joke.

Wonder weapons are almost never anything high-tech. In this war, weapons like Shaheds/Geran, Iskanders, and Kinzhals have had more effect than even more sophisticated Russian weapons. As for Ukraine, the only wonder weapon they have fielded so far are believe it or not, FPV drones, especially the fibre-optic ones.

Any weapon that changes how the enemy fights is a game changer and considered a wonder weapon, irrespective of whether it is high-tech or low-tech. Every single weapon I have mentioned did change how both sides fight. No one dares to drive a tank into the battlefield or mass their artillery close to the frontline anymore because of these small FPV drones. That makes them gamechangers.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by shoodboi2: 10:48am On Oct 18, 2025
Apparently, Israeli soldiers shot and killed a 10-years-old boy in the West Bank while playing football. As usual, Israel turned to its default lies by claiming that someone threw stones at them so they shot at them in return and killed a “man” who threw explosives at them.

How is a 10-year-old boy a “man”? And how did a 10-year-old child who was playing football as confirmed by Israel itself turn to throwing explosives? This is how they go on to justify the killing of Palestinian civilians just to steal their land.

Meanwhile, the Israeli media has gone on to increase his age from 10 to 11 so that people will think of him as an adult and not a child. An 11 year old is not even a teenager not to talk of a man.

The story of Mohammed Bahjat al-Hallak, the 10-year-old boy Israel killed in Israel mirrors that of Hind Rajab who the Israeli army killed in January 2024 with 355 bullets.

Israeli media and their western propaganda arm, the CNN, referred to the 5-year-old Hind Rajab girl as a “woman” just to justify her murder. Meanwhile, Nairaland Visa Boys look the other way and are not saying anything about this news.

Let us remember that there is no Hamas in the West Bank. So, why is Israel killing children there? This is the evil the Palestinian resistance is fighting against. Victory to the resistance✌️.

Just mention 5 weapons from the west that have become scraps.

1. Russia's T90 Amala tank has suffered more catastrophe than Abrams. I can't recall the endless episodes of spinning turrets I have watched on YT b4 they packed that embarrassment off the battlefield.

2. Storm shadow has recorded more successes than failures.

Or is ATACMS that is a failure in Ukraine?

So tell me where the scraps are. In Russian weapons or Western weapons

At the bolded, Just three days back, Russia started the bolded. Your bull crap raised another degree.
It is rich having you acknowledge that Russia is still fighting and on the offensive in Ukraine. Anyone who reads your statements will think Russia is being defeated. But then, once you want to argue, you quickly tell the truth about Russia assembling tanks in Ukraine because you feel it validates your point.

Now, when I say "mass", I mean mass. Egypt has massed hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles along with 40,000 soldiers in the open Sinai desert close to Gaza in preparation of a possible Israeli assault on Egypt or Israeli expulsion of Palestinians out of Gaza. That is massing.

At the beginning of the war, Russia had a 40-mile (64 km) convoy with around 15,000 soldiers close to Kyiv. Those soldiers and their vehicles were in the open, right on the road inside Ukraine. That is massing.

The "massing" you are talking about are a bunch of troops and vehicles scattered at various locations. They come together to fight and then disperse and change locations once they are done. No one is massing on the battlefield or close to the frontlines anymore because of FPV drones.

And as for Ukraine, they often try to mass far from the frontlines in preparation for assaults, but Kinzhals and Iskanders made them to understand that that was a bad idea.

Now, they are still massing troops together farther away from the frontline for training purposes, but Russia continues to break those Ukrainian formations apart using Kinzhals and Iskanders.

Russia still destroyed multiple Ukrainian soldiers at a training ground about three days ago using these missiles. Until Ukraine learns to stop massing soldiers together for any reason, Kinzhals and Iskanders will continue to make fertilizers out of their soldiers.

Gold has also erased over 600 billion dollars from the market. After reaching its all time high, it lost over 100 dollars per ounce within 24 hours.

Mr Mikasaobi, is this also insider trading from your so called "Trump Insiders" circle?

3 out of 4 major markets have reacted to market shifts which signals lower confidence in holding assets amid economic uncertainty. The only market yet to witness the downturn is the Forex market. That shows clearly that investors confidence is waning, and not any "Trump insiders" circle is spinning the market to their advantage.
I don’t think you really understand what insider trading is, because if you do it’ll be obvious to you that your question doesn’t make sense. Can you elaborate on what you mean by low confidence in holding assets amid economic uncertainty.

Eyah!! Take heart oooo

Another example of a wannabe "human rights activist"

I guess you were asleep when Hamas went on rampage on the streets of Gaza, carrying out extrajudicial killings against civilians!!

You want us to talk about the boy killed by the iDF? Have you talked about the Jewish children that were killed during Hamas rage in Israel??
Did you condemn the killings of Jewish civilians and children by Hamas?? Why do you think we owe you an explanation about this kids death??


All the rockets constantly fired into Jewish cities by your buddies. Do they have any special technology to differentiate between children and adults?? Very missile fired by Hamas, Hazebolla, and the Houthis are potential tangle with death for Israeli civilians, especially women and children.

How many Ukrainian children who had been killed by Russia's indiscriminate onslaught on Ukraine have you posted here?? How many civilian deaths in Ukraine have you condemned??

Always scribbling trash!! All in the vein to wip up sentiments always looking for digital hugs!!

What a cliche that the same "smooth-tongued, "double-faced" fella who called a mass murderer the mastermind of the October attacks that killed women and children a "hero." The same Janus-faced fella thinks he possess the " moral compass" to lecture us on morality

Don't worry ennh, Your friends will come and like and share your post as usual, you can at least you can take succour from that

if you really want to make a difference and impact in the fight against the Jews you can lead a one man protest to the Jewish embassy in Nigeria or move to the middle-east am pretty sure the "resistance" will appreciate your service. And besides, according to you, they defeated the Jews. You will be joining the winning side

Rubbish and ingredients. Abeg, gerrara here!!!

You made mention of Trump posting and concluded that some people in your "Trump circle" were aware of Trump's move and therefore used it to rekt the market. You concluded that Trump was involved in it all.

I have given you enough scenarios where trump did not make any post. Of recent the entire market has been going down without Trump posting anything and yet you are displaying stūpeedeety from the highest heavens still trying to blame Trump for what clearly has no relation to insider trading.
