I'm sorry but you can't attempt to defend any aspect of this government without sounding insane. Only people who still want us to continue with this useless APC government will try and rationalize the irrational. Or defend the indefensible.

This government has built train tracks for Niger.
This government has constructed roads for Niger state.
This government has sent oil pipelines to Niger state from the south.

What have we got from Niger state if not illegal votes?
I'm simply not finding it funny with any sympathizer of this despotic government. In another country, we should be on the streets protesting, but here we are divided, because you've decided to be a sellout.

That may be harsh but when you read your own past posts and see how you were unable to prove to us how 1 billion naira fancy SUVs help in fighting insecurity, then you see my justification of the word sellout.

Nobody is justifying anything. What Buhari did to Niger is what most countries do. Even sanctioned Iran is helping Russia in Ukraine war...

You need to be calming down bro.

Always be prepared to deal with an ignorant majority. As soon as you know this, everything else you read will have an interesting spin to it. For e.g ASUU is demanding 1.3 trillion Naira from the govt. So imagine the sheer stupidity involved in lambasting your govt for doling out foreign aid to the tune of 1.4B when they could have channeled that money that is only 1% of what ASUU is demanding. If your govt was gifting out even 100B for e.g, the traducers may have had a case, but you know the rest.

Also, giving foreign aid is a fixture of every govt. If you go online, you will see that Nigeria via FG used to earmark as much as $45M to give to relatively poorer countries around us. Will it surprise you to find out that the Buhari administration in 2022 is the stingiest govt in that regard in the last perhaps 20 years?

Like I said before, you are allowed to criticize your govt. Just make sure it makes sense. I even understand that the Land cruisers were purchased because that is what the Nigerien govt specifically asked for when they begged Nigeria for the aid. The very same foreign aid Nigeria still begs US, China and other relatively more prosperous nations for. lol

Some people are just plain dull. If you read their shows on front page, you can instantly call for revolution. They attack and intimidate anybody that seems to analyse some issues critically. So One sided, irrational and bias.

Let Obi wins the polls and do this very aids now and some of this things they criticise now will instantly becomes rationale and acceptable. What there problem is I honestly don't know.

That's what agbado does to the brain.

OK.... For your mind now, I'm Tinubu supporter as you use to call it.

So much for the person that gave me the zeal to get voter's card.
When I had to convince people to see reason why there is need to get voter's card and make things happened through your comments?

Well, I don't really know why you behave like this sometimes.

But for now, I'm now agbados supporter because I aired my opinion?

Well, to you is your takes.

My God!!!

How can I help you?

BlueRayDick:
Does this make any sense to u? Afghanistan was in financial mess and Nigeria was in what? Economic prosperity??

How do u people come up with these lame-ass excuses and then end it with " I don't like this government to be honest "?

Oh! It can not make sense to you since it does not suit your agenda. Well, I don't want to argue further before you see me as the defender of this failed govt..... But I implore you to look at issue critically before criticising because at the left, there might be something right!

monerozi5590:
reccy. What is the status of Nigeria in Islamic World?

I mean The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) which Nigeria is part of.

You are not aware of this?

BlueRayDick:
"Buhari cannot just wake up and dash any country money without any strong reasons for it. "

Like Buhari didn't gift Afghanistan $1m. That was for what strong reason if I may ask?

Here u are not knowing any reasonable reason why the 1.4billion naira of tax payers' money was spent on a foreign country but u are willing to.just give Buhari the benefit of doubt like " I trust him, e no fit 4ckup "......WTF!

Buhari that was asked in an interview why they are building the rail line to Niger and couldn't give a cogent reason other than we have brothers and sisters and relatives there who we can't cut off.

Omo! Una wey dey defend this goverment ehn, I don't even know what to say to u.

You and I knew Afghanistan was in a financial mess then and giving the status of Nigeria in Islamic world which Afghanistan is part of.... I think to some extend, it is justifiable.

I don't like this government to be honest. But is not everything we must criticised without critical analysis. He might have goofed on this since we don't know the actual reasons for it but we must sometime, give doubt a benefit and hoping it worths it.

My man. You and I know that Kai would neither be sold nor loned out ,so we have nothing else to do than support him and wish that he cooks. I believe apostle skimple is already fasting on the mountain for that.

Most times, I don't seem to understand what some people see in that skeleton to so much believe in him. I feel piss off when I see him playing. So sluggish, slow , and wack. Nothing fascinating about him even his hair style.

Havertz looks good on this haircut.
He will cook this season. This I have seen.

Bro, ah take God beg yhu no vex me oo. Cook kor crook ni...

monerozi5590:
Some people will go at every length to defend nonsense. I don't know whether they are trying to sound woke or something. Funny enough, these are intelligent guys oh! Kai!

You don't need this guy. Buhari cannot just wake up and dash any country money without any strong reasons for it. Like one guy said, this govt is not good in disseminating information to the public - logical one - maybe due to the constant lies and denials they use to dish out which now make it hard for people to rationalise any of their actions.

We also need to build strong relations with bordering countries for this insecurity to be combated effective. This land cruisers may not be for security or security related but sure, it does build trust and relationship with two countries battling insecurity.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/29/us/north-carolina-police-resign-black-city-manager-reaj/index.html

The mass exodus of an entire police department after the hiring of a Black town manager in North Carolina has opened a conversation about public safety and race relations in a small town of just over 1,500 residents.

Last week, the entire police department in Kenly, North Carolina, resigned, citing a "hostile" work environment less than two months after Justine Jones, a Black woman, began her role as the town's newly selected city manager.
Joy Wright, a local business owner, said the community is concerned about what the collective police retreat means for the future of the town. Wright also said she was mostly frustrated because the town hadn't been keeping residents in the loop with any developments."It's just weird, and for us to not have any information as to what to expect," Wright said. "Are we going to have police? Are we going to have a town manager?"
Following an emergency, closed-door meeting last week, the Kenly town council released a statement this week saying, "The prudent course of action is to find out what happened and not make any rash decisions."
Alan "Chip" Hewett, Kenly's town attorney, told CNN that he will oversee an investigation conducted by an outside firm starting next week when all the resignations take effect. Technically, the police chief and officers are still on the job through the beginning of next week. The police chief's resignation is effective Tuesday.
CNN obtained eight resignation letters in total, consisting of longtime police chief Josh Gibson, four full-time officers, one part-time officer and two town clerks. The letters are similar in language, with most referencing a stressful work environment, though they don't provide any details about the allegedly "hostile" workplace, nor do they explicitly blame Jones.
However, Gibson has placed blame on Jones for the resignation -- both in a Facebook post that has since been made private and in an exclusive interview with Fox News.
Gibson told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that Jones had written him up multiple times in her short time on the job.

"She came in, first of all, to start giving us tasks and all these projects all the time. And unfortunately, we are -- we only have five officers and I was working double shifts at the time to try to keep up officer safety and be there with the officers in case something happened," said Gibson, who claimed the manager wrote him up for being late if he wasn't sitting at his desk, among other things "She wrote me up for going to businesses and talking with businesses. She wrote me up for talking with council members I've known for 20 years."
CNN has not seen any of the disciplinary records referenced by Gibson and therefore cannot verify the write-ups. The town said it was unable to turn over any documents right now that were requested by CNN this week.
Jones started as Kenly's town manager on June 2, according to an announcement from the town that notes she was unanimously approved by the council and touted her 16 years of experience working in "progressively responsible positions with local governments" in multiple states.

Residents split on whether it's a 'race issue'

Entire police force steps down after Black town manager takes office 03:48
Kenly, North Carolina (CNN)The mass exodus of an entire police department after the hiring of a Black town manager in North Carolina has opened a conversation about public safety and race relations in a small town of just over 1,500 residents.

Residents split on whether it's a 'race issue'
Brittney Hinnant, a Kenly resident, said she feels like the situation is a "race issue" given that Jones is Black, while the entire Kenly Police Department is White. Hinnant also said she doesn't think the police department supports Black people and she feels they often harass Black residents.
"I feel like they don't want a Black woman over top of them, basically managing them or telling them what to do," Hinnant said.
Studies show people in organizations often think Black women are more likely to have angry personalities, with studies also suggesting that this negative perception is a unique occurrence for Black women, according to the Harvard Business Review.
Jones told CNN that since this is a personnel matter, she can't comment on the police resignations.

Others in the community say they believe there is not a racial component to the situation due to the fact the previous town manager was a Black man. Some residents also cautioned against jumping to conclusions, saying they've always had a good relationship with the police department.
Wright, who owns the Granny Barn, an embroidery and vinyl gift shop located two doors down from Town Hall, said she doesn't think the situation was a "Black vs White thing."
"I've never seen that being a problem," she said when asked if she thought race played a role in the situation.
"I think there are too many jumping to conclusions, we really don't know what is going on. I know I have never met this town manager, I have never had any problems with the police, so I really don't know what dynamic could have led to these types of decisions," Wright said.

Michelle Dawes, who's from Kenly and used to work for the town, told CNN that she thought the situation was complicated. She said it's possible that race and gender played a role in the resignations, but issues of accountability are really at the center of the situation.
"I have never had any personal problems with [Police Chief Josh] Gibson, but as a former employee of the town, I know how it works there," said Dawes. "I immediately knew, this is someone new. She doesn't know what, I call them, the 'off the books rules' are. Basically, when she came and got hired, she poked the bear by making him accountable."
The Johnston County Sheriff's Office, which already serves Kenly, will increase its presence in the town now that the police department will effectively disband.
Denise Bennett, a Kenly native, said the timing of everything makes her suspicious, adding that the situation seems to be more about power rather than resolving work-related issues. Bennett also said some residents have stated the resignations are not about racism, but she doesn't think race-related issues can be completely thrown out as an explanation.
"When I realized the short amount of time that she had been on the job, and the drastic decision that was made, it just did not compute in my head," Bennett said. "With the fact that there are so many things one can do if they think they have a nightmare supervisor, there's so many things that can be done. But for an entire police staff to make the choice to quit when they have agreed to protect and serve, rather than to use all of the things in front of them to change the situation... it just didn't make sense to me."

Uprightness100:
Iran announces today that the profits from oil prices in the last 4 months were about 600% higher compared to the 4 months last year.
In other words: it is clear why they are not pressured to sign on any agreement.

Heheheh. This I getting intresting

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/5/10/un-nuclear-agency-concerned-over-irans-lack-of-cooperation.

The head of the UN nuclear watchdog has said that he was “extremely concerned” about Iran’s lack of cooperation regarding its nuclear activity as EU envoy Enrique Mora is set to visit Tehran to save the stalled nuclear deal talks.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is “trying to clarify a number of still open matters with Iran”, agency head Rafael Grossi told a European Parliament committee on Tuesday.

“I am referring to the fact that we, in the last few months, were able to identify traces of enriched uranium in places that had never been declared by Iran as places where any activity was taking place,” he said.

“The situation does not look very good. Iran, for the time being, has not been forthcoming in the kind of information we need from them … We are extremely concerned about this,” he said.

Talks between world powers and Iran have stalled since mid-March as negotiators seek to return to the 2015 landmark accord that curtailed Tehran’s nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief.

Negotiations have stalled chiefly over Tehran’s insistence that Washington removes the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), its elite security force, from the US Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO) List.

EU diplomat Mora, who chairs the negotiations, will visit Tehran this week, Iran announced on Monday, as the United States – which is seeking to come back to the deal it unilaterally left in 2018 – voiced hope for progress.

Iran has boosted its stockpile of highly enriched uranium since former President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from the deal in 2018, which had capped Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

Western officials have largely lost hope that the deal can be resurrected, sources familiar with the matter said, forcing them to weigh how to limit Iran’s atomic programme even as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has divided the big powers.

The IAEA and Iran announced in March that they had agreed on an approach for resolving issues crucial to reviving the 2015 nuclear accord. At the time, Grossi said the UN agency and Iran had “decided to try a practical, pragmatic approach” to overcome “a number of important matters”.

Some documents are to be exchanged between the two sides by May 22.

The aim is to settle outstanding questions that the IAEA has about the past presence of nuclear material at undeclared sites in Iran.

Iran “should be at the top of our preoccupations in spite of the drama that is unfolding in Ukraine,” Grossi said on Tuesday, referring to Russia’s invasion of its neighbour.
He said talks to revive the nuclear deal were “at a sort of pause” but the Vienna-based IAEA was “of course still hopeful that some agreement is going to be reached within a reasonable timeframe”.

“Although we have to recognise that the window of opportunity could be closed anytime,” he added.

Good way to start....

Victory belongs to God alone.

DontBullshitMe:
Funny guy.

I like your strategy. You can bet 500k, but not 300k. Clown.

You can dash me the remaining 200k now abi wetin ah do you nah?

DontBullshitMe:
If indeed you have 500k to bet, you won't reject my offer.

500k is too high for me to go but I can spare 500 dollars which is around 300k. Are you in or not? Don't waste my time.

God!!! See money!

Godx:
You deserve Lampard. Imagine saying a brilliant and astute coach like Tuchel is not tactical. List the many tactical coaches in Epl.

Ahswear, Arteta and Graham Potter are even more tactical than this clown....

donstan18:
Drag him!!

Honestly, the thing dy pain me gan ni....when you talk talk about tactics, we have many tactical coaches in Epl.

definitely, thiz "mr" is not among!

donstan18:
We no get pattern.

It’s a bit shameful that Tuchel’s fans can’t even come up with something convincing regarding to this.

Is he tactical? NO!
Will I stop saying it? NO!

They’ll understand this soon.

I have been skeptical about this face cap man.
The few times he made some changes during games and worked for him have now make him tactical, even those few moments, the assistant has credit for most of it. I don't know where the tactics in him comes from.
