Money laundering 101

1- USA government gets a loan ( USA is borrowing money to fund Ukraine war) to give to Ukraine

2- Funds are transferred to various military industries

3- Military industries give millions of donations and contracts to companies and non profit organisations of politicians and others

4- Politicians are happy Russia is losing so they sign more aid and the process repeats itself.
Edit it properly Russia land is expanding not losing loly

Head of the Orthodox Church in Syria directed a sharp message to Al-Julani:

- “we will never obey you”

-“You are accused of committing massacres”

-“You are merely the result of a past deal”

-“we were deceived that you would emerge from the cloak of terrorism”


- “instead of arrogance, you should apologize to the people”

- “You must step down because Syria does not belong to you or Hayat Tahrir al-Sham”

- “You are accused of the massacres of the martyrs of the Church of the Prophet Elias…the coast…. Suwayda”

-“We will hold you accountable until the day of resurrection.”

"We will give a chance to see if we can achieve the disarmament and demilitarization of Gaza by Hamas within the framework of President Trump's plan. If not, we will have to do it ourselves."

Benin: about 14.9 million people

Benin Republic is like only kwara & Niger state combine
Bro this population and fat economy wey we dey use brag for other African states sef, grin grin .
Ok make I give you small example, take a look at Ghana. we have a much larger population and economy than them, but bro anybody wey tell you say the average Nigerian dey enjoy pass Ghanian na thief. As a matter of fact Ghana is developing at a much faster rate than Nigeria. a Higher percentage of Nigerians are in multidimensional poverty compared to Ghanians. Mind you a massive economy can be a disaster if not handled properly (which is practically the case in Nigeria today), I don't need to start explaining that of population to you.

If you think that our large population ensures military superiority in the region, take a look at Israel and the middle east😎.

Bros,

No mind young Nigerians. To us, every other country in Africa is bad, even though some haven't actually lived in those countries. Yes, Nigeria has its issues - big big ones - but when analysed and compared amongst other Black countries, we are much better off. Those countries are Tarabas, Kebbis and Yobes. The major issue we have is our incompetent elites in tackling insecurity and toxic/religious politics.

Also, as I have written in my diary, when one spends too much time on TwitterNG and follows certain handles, one begins to pick up anti-Nigerian vibes. Untarred roads is a West African issue, just as open gutters. The other day, Moe, a popular Twitter personality, showed the picture of an elite area in Cotonou only to tag it "a random place". How can the Maitama of Cotonou be a random place? How many ordinary Beninese can live there? Not long ago, my friend in Canada, who is chatting with a babe in Freetown, Sierra Leone, told me their currency is stronger than the naira; thus, Sierra Leoneans are living better than Nigerians! I wan craze! I had to do a long VN explaining basic economics to this dude and why having a strong currency isn't a good thing.

Also, there is nowhere Sierra Leone is better off than Nigeria till thy kingdom come, and certainly not because the currency is strong. Dem fit find work for there? What is the purchasing power of the average Sierra Leonean? This extends to everywhere in the sub-region. For one, I don't consider Mauritania to be a country, just as Somalia. Tensa20 said women in those countries should remove their wombs as nothing good fit comot from there. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Nigeria has its issues, and I will continue talking about them, but we are better off than every country in West Africa, and this is till thy kingdom come. Only Kenya and South Africa should be mentioned alongside Nigeria. The rest of the continent are just mini Oguns, Akwa Iboms, Kogis, Enugus, Bauchis etc.
you wetin you dey talk, the Kenya and South Africa you dey talk about, used to be heavily influenced by Nigeria as a matter of fact we where better than them. But while they have been growing all this while what has Nigeria been doing? Do you think if we were still in 2007, Nigeria would have allowed 3 of her neighbors carry out successful coups.
Yes, you can easily make up a list of countries that make Nigeria look like paradise, but one thing is certain we are not as powerful as we used to be. And E suppose dey pain every reasonable Nigerian, once again a large economy is not stable economy.
Ok, militarily look at our conscription rates. Do you think in the next 30 years Nigeria would be able to project half the military strength she has today (knowing our military power comes from size not tech capabilities)? Why do you think now Trump has the balls to trash talk Nigeria?
Nigeria has never been internationally weaker than we are today and that is a fact.

I was not using our population to brag, Infact I actually think our population is a curse for us. It was WritterNgg that keeps jumping from one topic to another.

I was marely using the population to point to him why it's way easier for smaller countries to achieve some development while Nigeria is still struggling with the same thing.

This is what happened when you try to settle a dispute between 2 countries like you are settling a dispute on TV shows.
Is it not this 2 countries Trump settled recently, now it's getting worse. Instead of getting to the root cause of problems before solving them, he will just be using countries at war to catch cruise. I hope he can also minus this from the list of wars he has settled

I just went back to read what you wrote earlier, I think I understand you better now.

but I will still argue that our population is not a curse as a matter of fact i see it as one of our greatest resource if we really want to meet up globally, population only becomes a problem when it is ill managed. As a matter of fact if Nigeria had a smaller population and the government still dey F up, e go still be the same story.
Look at USA Russia China India these are the countries with highest population in the world, it's not by accident that they are super powers. Human resources is the most important resource.

⚡Ukraine 'ready for elections' if partners guarantee security, Zelensky says.

Ukraine is "ready for elections", President Volodymyr Zelensky has said, after US President Donald Trump repeated claims Kyiv was "using war" to avoid holding them.

Zelensky's five-year term as president was due to end in May 2024, but elections have been suspended in Ukraine since martial law was declared after Russia's invasion.

Speaking to reporters following Trump's comments in a wide-raging Politico interview, Zelensky said he would ask for proposals to be drawn up which could change the law.


Elections could be held in the next 60 to 90 days if security for the vote was guaranteed with the help of the US and other allies, he said.

"I'm asking now, and I'm stating this openly, for the US to help me, perhaps together with our European colleagues, to ensure security for the elections," he told reporters.

"The issue of elections in Ukraine, I believe, depends first and foremost on our people, and this is a question for the people of Ukraine, not the people of other countries. With all due respect to our partners," he said.

"I've heard hints that we're clinging to power, or that I personally am clinging to the presidency" and "that's why the war isn't ending", which he called "frankly, a completely unreasonable narrative".

⚡French President Macron warns Europe’s industry is at a “life or death” moment and says China’s trade surplus is “untenable,” accusing Beijing of “killing their own customers” by flooding Europe with exports while buying too little in return.

He says Chinese firms must now invest in Europe, or the EU may hit back with customs duties.

So how's Russia doing it? How's china doing it, hows the USA doing it if its by population? You people should stop making excuses for the rubbish our leaders are doing. With everything we have , we should be enjoying a lot but most of you have settled for less.

We supply niger , Benin electricity do you know why we can't stop supplying them? River Niger and the dam. If they decide to build their own dam, we are toast. We will be at their mercy. We are just giant of Africa for nothing,no workings only chochocho.
