Ukrainian military chief said Ukraine must call 30,000 new soldiers every month.
He said they need more troops as Russia military kept advancing

With all these nonsense, it'll be the 8th wonder of the world if Zelensky and his entire cabinet are not publicly hanged after the war.

I mean, you know the war is a futile one, but you keep sacrificing the future of Ukraine at the behest of the West!

those guys are Muslims and they can be erratic and can't be trusted with such tools

Turning your statements and articles into religious banters only make you look silly.

Every sensible individual here supports good against evil, regardless of their religion, so continue to do the same too.

The Chinese can't win this trade war it will only make americans to readjust their lifestyles or seek a cheaper alternative to cheaper products elsewhere

Which America would readjust their lifestyle? Maybe you're referring to South America, but not the United States of America This might be the reality maybe in the '40s but not the America of 2025.

By the time the average Joe and Karen cannot get their daily fix of Hot Dog and Kool-Aid, then Trump would know what he has gotten himself into.

Gerrard59:
Long Live the CCP!

They think this is an African country.

Bring it on!

Exactly! Every right-thinking person would definitely support China.

And it's already clear that America won't survive this self-immolation.

⚡U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent:

China should not try to devalue their way out of this. They should come to the table.

Lolz... Nobody would show up to your poorly laid table. For God's sake “104% tariffs on Chinese goods?" That’s just economic self-immolation in red, white, and blue! You peeps should continue shooting yourself in the foot, hoping China limps first.

I won't be surprised that they know some of the move that China will pull especially when the alarm is coming from the country that invented currency manipulation, printed trillions in stimulus, and has weaponized the dollar more times than it’s defended democracy abroad.

Everyone now knows that your obsession with tariffs will only boomerang. Want higher prices on electronics, clothing, and machinery? Congratulations, you just taxed your own people while pretending to punish China. U.S. manufacturers will choke on inflated supply costs, and the average American household will feel the burn at the checkout line, not in Beijing.

So before Secretary Bessent throws any more rocks, he might want to check if his house is built with glass, because economic short-sightedness like this is a guaranteed way to break every window in the house of U.S. commerce.

They are not military allies if Iran want to be protected it will invite Russia or China to build it military bases in their country that is when they will be protected by strength not by economy

He who is down, needs fear no fall; He who is low, has no pride—John Bunyan. At this point, Iran has little to lose and ought to have completed their nuclear enrichment.

The best form of protection for Iran is building Nuclear weapons in their 100s and not building foreign bases in their soil. Except there's something Iran is not telling the world, I still find it surprising as to why they back down from building Nuclear weapons. It's just annoying.

By now, I expected them to have tens of nuclear warheads at standby, aimed at their enemies' major cities across the world and ready to fire at a moment's notice. I'm sure if Trump knows that New York, San Francisco, Washington, Houston, Los Angeles, London, Paris and Tel-Aviv are just minutes away from being turned to Nuclear Wastelands, he'd have toned-down the arrogance.

America and Co do not understand peaceful dialogue. They only understand force, savage force.

British and usa people can fight for Ukraine but Chinese and north Korea cant fight for Russia?

Welcome to American Hypocrisy 101.

Not every tax on goods will be paid by consumers. It will get to a limit consumers will abandon the product all together and the manufacturers won’t be able to transfer it. Then their manufacturing go bankrupt while other manufacturers would relocate like Apple is moving manufacturing out of china to India now . That’s where china would find itself eventually

Lolz. Hope you know China is one of the biggest market for Apple products.

You think the Chinese government is daft? If Apple and other American manufacturing firms make that mistake of moving out of China arrogantly, the CCP have many ways of screwing them over....High tariff is one.

USA and their assets, like every other country are also vulnerable.

OChimex:
Na so una dey think for nigeria?
Person wey dey buy goods from you wey worth over $400 billion, na him you dey fight?
Lol.
Vietnam, Mexico, Bangladesh, India, Thailand, etc, so many Asian countries get cheap labor oo.
In fact Vietnam goods don dey full American stores slowly.
China is idiotic, they will regret their actions soon.

Both countries would feel the impact. The US is not the Alpha and Omega in everything and they'll be severely hit.

You need to understand that cheap labour is only one piece in the puzzle.

Have you considered the fact that China has the most complete and integrated supply chain in the world, especially in sectors like electronics, textiles, automotive, and machinery. No other country comes close and would come close in many years to come regardless of how the Billions in USD poured into them.

Also, for a country producing nearly 30% of the world's output, well both agree that hurting them in any way comes with serious consequences.

Plus, those countries you mentioned, especially Vietnam, and Mexico have substantial Chinese investments in their manufacturing sector. In essence, lots of goods coming from them are "Chinese" in everything except the place of production.

There's nothing "idiotic" about China, Trump is just grasping a straws. Like I mentioned earlier, every reasonable person wants China to triumph, that way the US would be put in their place.

spiSeyi:
Trump is pained to the marrow China is a self sufficient state unlike others and can easily do away with the US but the US can't survive without the Chinese. Investors prefer to manufacture their stuff in China because of cheap labor and almost tax free regime which is not obtainable in the US. (e.g. The likes of Innoson won't go to the US for their spares even big company like Boeing can't build aircraft engines without the Chinese components, Apple will make almost no profit if it tries to shift its production line to the US )
The US should wake to reality that the global economy has taken a new face

Now this is someone with sense and decorum talking.

Every sane human regardless of their tribe, race and religion needs to pray that China, Russia and the Axis win this economic war over the demonic West. Everyone is tired of hypocrisy, genocide and wokeism.

Some comments made earlier has led me to firmly believe that either Nairaland has been invaded by bots and paid Western agents or some people choose to be deliberately stupid.

One even stated that Africa will dump Chinese goods. Dump them for whose goods exactly?
China is the reason most Africans now own a smartphone and use sophisticated gadgets.

Left to the West, they'll prefer to make those gadgets unaffordable for us.

But some goats on this forum would prefer to support the West, who have never hidden their disdain for us over China. Very unreasonable set of people.

Mrexcell:
The Chinese are the ones that will loose more than the US they are benefiting more from trading with the US.

Both countries would suffer significantly, but in the end, US will take the biggest hit. Let's say in the short-medium term, China will lose more, but at the long run the US will be the major loser.

This is because there's almost no immediate substitute for Chinese products in any part of the world. Plus the Americans are too accustomed to a very cushy lifestyle to want to even delay any gratification.

Plus he's busy isolating his allies and sanctioning countries he can alternatively turn to for daily needs products if China decides to Bleep him over. His recent policy seems to me like he's deliberately sabotaging America.

jayce232:
There would have been no China of today without the help of America considering their overblown population in the 80s. The status China is enjoying today as second world power America gave it to them. Person wey raise u, go fit still bring u down.

America was the major force behind China's growth and development, nobody is denying that. Even that was done with an ignoble intention.

The days of America singlehandedly bringing down heavyweights is long gone. If it succeeds in doing that, it would be a phyrric victory for them. I'm sure you can guess what comes ect after that.

If you Obi supporters read the post, you would've released that is also mentioned upgrading existing tertiary institutions to handle trauma, oncology and infectious disease.

Now go back to your IPOB caves!

Poor comprehension is the bane of people like you. Our concern is that health care institutions at the grassroot level pan-Nigeria is in a moribund state and needs urgent maintenance and supplies. Why build more when existing ones cannot effectively serve their purpose?

If our PHCs are fully functional, our tertiary health institutions would be decluttered and effectively serve their purpose.

And you must be thoroughly hallucinating to think I'm an Obi supporter. So anyone who criticizes the president's policy or offers a better solution now automatically becomes an Obidient. How low and confused can you go?

Godfullsam:
Why not upgrade the existing primary health centres nation wide?

I wonder who is advising this people sef.

Exactly. I dare say 90% of the PHCs in Nigeria are in urgent need of maintenance, upgrade and supplies.

Fixing them to the highest standard would be more beneficial than establishing thousands upon thousands more which may suffer the same fate after few years...

Not surprised. Talks abound about her legendary level of stinginess is everywhere.

I would not be surprised if she has forgotten all about the detainees. May we not encounter unfortunate destiny-killers.

⚡US Secretary of State Rubio:

China is working on the largest military expansion in its history, and we must confront it.

Rubio, America’s proud parrot in a suit. The man says, “China is working on the largest military expansion in its history, and we must confront it,” while conveniently forgetting that the U.S. has been speedrunning military expansion since the Cold War... and never hit pause.

Let’s break it down: America is home to 800+ foreign military bases, spends more on defense than the next 10 countries. Yet they act shocked when someone else dares to play catch-up. It’s like the heavyweight champ whining that someone at the gym is lifting too hard.

Rubio talking about “confronting” China is peak irony. The same government that dropped democracy out of a B-52 in Iraq and sold freedom at gunpoint in Afghanistan now wants to lecture the world about military restraint?

And let’s not pretend this concern is purely noble. When the U.S. confronts another power, it usually comes with drone strikes, regime changes, and conveniently timed arms deals.

Rubio warning us about military buildup is like the arsonist yelling “fire!” Except this time, the smoke’s coming from a country that learned from the master.

⚡The UK is in discussions with Brazil over the potential sale of two Royal Navy amphibious assault ships—HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark—as part of cost-cutting efforts.

Despite a recent refit for HMS Bulwark, both ships are set to be decommissioned and were not expected to return to active service before their planned retirement in the 2030s.

Lolz, yeye people. The same navy that once “ruled the waves” by enslaving half the world and stealing spices they never learned to use.

These glorified pirates wrapped in red coats and arrogance spent centuries pretending they were spreading “civilization,” when all they did was spread smallpox, suffering, and tea that tastes like boiled regret.

Very soon ordinary clusters of fishermen in canoes would be able to soundly defeat "His Majesty's fleet".

EponObi:
This one is gone. I'm very sure of it.

She's too naive to be a Nigerian politician. Ever since this saga started, she has been the only one running from pillar to pillar. She has thrown her punches in the public and they are nowhere effective. From making sexual allegation with no evidence, to running mad in the chambers, to paying for interviews on foreign TV stations, to paying crowd for some nonsense PR, now making serious allegations without proof again. They are watching her and noticing her mistakes and weakness. The recall process is a small thing, na Yahyah Bello dey run that one on him own. Akpabio and the APC hasn't thrown any punch. Tinubu too will throw his own because she tried to manipulate the impeachment of Akpabio - which is an indirect threat to his Presidency. When they are ready to strike, I swear, Jesus self go pity her.

I'm enjoying the show though. This is another avenue for Nigerian youths to learn about manipulation and power dynamics. But no, majority are too invested emotionally.

Pettiness is not equal to ruthlessness. She's going to learn.

Totally on point. Too naïve and indiscreet to be a politician, a Nigerian politician at that. Even if you are the oppressed one, you don't attack powerful people directly, rather you stoop humbly to conquer. This is because if they feel threatened enough, they have the system in place to ruin the individual.

Her shenanigans in the chamber that day, coupled with the way she was addressing her constituency shows pride written all over her.

With the way she's going, no powerful and influential politician or tycoon will want to side her publicly. Who wants to deprive themselves of benefits because of one loose cannon who's filled with pride and arrogance? Nobody.

It's like the entire legislative arm is high on TNT .

What's with all these bills of late, both beneficial and ridiculous ones?

If I were the prime minister of Greenland I will deny the airplane of the American delegation landing clearance...if they attempt to land by force I will order my defence forces to shoot down the plane.

Let what will happen happen!

Sadly, as much as I detest the crazy American expansionist and hypocritic agenda, Greenland is already conquered in everything but name, and that'll follow suit soonest. Do you think those US officials need any clearance to enter the Island?

Even the Danish PM has resigned to that reality. She's just blowing grammar to save face. In a way, those Europeans deserve everything that's coming to them from the US.

The truth is IF America also wants to take Canada, they'll do it regardless of any backlash. Forget about the barks of the Canadian officials, the US will do that with minimal government resistance

Nevertheless, there's no bigger hypocrite like the US, and like all other filthy empires before it, it'll also implode no doubt about that, it's just a matter of time.

He had a different plan....

One came to the UK in September 2021 for his Masters, with plans that the wife and their 2 kids would join him by January 2022....Uncle ghosted everyone, even his brother-in-law (wife's elder brother) who provided bulk of the funds for the tuition fees.

He graduated November 2022 with Msc. International Business Management , moved to 2 years Post Study Work visa while still working in a warehouse, couldn't get COS to switch to skilled worker visa....Post Study Work visa expired early February 2025....Uncle is still in the UK, illegally as an overstayer....no job as he has no right to work, still sustaining himself with his savings and talking about going to seek asylum in Ireland.

This is painful but very stupid of him. I once knew about someone like him t
too. He wanted to run to Canada with another lady, then planned to abandon his wife and kid in Nigeria. This wife is totally awesome and helpful lady.

Then Canada struck and reduced visa quotas for student. Long story short, their marriage is really in turbulence now. The painful part was that the girl's dad never wanted her to marry him.

I find it bizarre as to why a man would decide to ditch his biggest support system and behave like a coward. I mean, when done the right way, she'll literally have your back (work support, intimacy, prayers etc). But no, they'll want to behave like a possessed person. So sad to think about.

This is an inaccurate comparison and a slight on a large number of hardworking girls in Nigeria.

While many have embraced hookup and associated vices, there are others who still choose to hustle responsibly to the extent of their capability which can be; Catering, trading, makeup etc. As a matter of fact, many want to work, but there's nothing for them to do.

China is fully industrialized and further equipped with strong, enforceable laws protecting women from harassment. None of that is applicable here in Nigeria.

If for instance such centre is here in Nigeria and staffed with exceptionally beautiful women, some morally bankrupt men would still be the ones pressuring these women for sex and force them to engage in hookup.

So abeg, hardworking women exists in both countries.

Bro, SAROAFRICA is no small investor o. They own the majority share in Presco and also own the Parent group of Presco—SIAT.

They acquired thousands upon thousands of hectares in the Bendel region for Ethanol and Oil Palm plantation.

However, most part of Presco's business structure will not be touched save the management.

they have checked out of Edo, Delta and a Nigerian is now the highest stake holder by the name SARO, and you know anything black man touch , black man kills.

Hello @SultanYoung, the maxim "anything black man touch , black man kills" cannot be true in this case. Do you know who owns the Saroafrica Group? That's Rasheed Sarumi!! As a fresh graduate then, he grew the group from a single company to a 5 subsidiary behemoth within a space of 30-years.

The company has arguably some of the best Agric and FMCG brands and pays arguably the most competitive salary in the Agribusiness, Agro-allied and FMCG sector in Nigeria. Their pay package dwarfs lots of those mouth-watering firms that you know in the sector.

Besides, the current Manager is a seasoned Indian-Nigerian businessman. So you see...

A PhD holder is an authority in his field on study.

Spot on. However, recipients of Honoris Causa titles are not to use the "Dr" title professionally and personally. The university that confers the degree on them may however, refer to them as "Doctor". The university can also add the title to the awardee's name by placing it in a bracket. E.g (Dr) Somatus Muchexe.

This is to avoid confusing them with real PhD holders and Medical Doctors. A PhD (and it's equivalents) are prestigious degrees and will remain so for a long time to come.

That's why the 99% are online crying of disrespect. Men are no longer men.

When dating, don't give a woman money, she's not your responsibility. Marriage is a different ball game, provide for your family and let your wife's contributions be little if any. Let her money be for herself and the kids.

This will only be doable when you marry a woman whom you earn more than. Of course, what we have now are simps, looking for women financially better off, so they can leech on her.

Sir, permit me to send 2 cartons of Fayrouz Soft drink to your residence. This is spot on. Yes, we all know that the economy is harsh and unfriendly. However, the default mindset of every man (with a good wife) should be to strive to be able to fully shoulder the bills at home.

One should not go into marriage with the expectation that she should take half of the bills. If a man has this as his default mindset, then he should also be ready to do a substantial part of the house chores and also be ready to tolerate some occasional disrespect.

Though it is very important to marry a woman of like-mind for it to effectively work.

In 2018, on my way to Calabar from Ikom. The vehicle I boarded, developed electrical fault around Obubra, just after the military check-point. I had to trek a bit, while hoping to get another vehicle. I got to a junction (cannot remember the name) still around Obubra. Saw some men with weeds and roasted puck meat are sold there, since I was with cash and the street has taught me so much, I bought weeds for this men, together with puck meat (just to develop friendship). I joined them in the meat galore. After about 1 hour, I left and continued on foot, crossing the short bridge separating Nko and Obubra. Up a hill, saw one Olumba Olumba church, very quiet and with only me on the road. Five more steps, I was accosted by three men on a bike, telling me that if I make another five more steps, no one will see any part of my body again. That was how I was taken back to Obubra and told the whole story about Nko, Ugep, Idomi, and even the entire Yakurr people terrible stories of cannibalism. Then I realised again, the Igbo I bought for this men, saved my life.

This is a bone-chilling story. With the excellent agricultural conditions in Cross-River, that place ought to be swimming with all kinds of exotic meat.

That zone ought to be declared a no-access zone for tourists and non-residents. Very nauseating Neanderthals.

Thanks for taking your time to narrate this.

mannyx:
The stigma will continue to be with Ugep people, but my fear is the two villages (Nko & Idomi) bordering Ugep are still practicing this cannibalism. I was there in 2018, omo I know wetin my eyes see!

So it's true that they still practice it?
Cross River has a lush landscape and very fertile lands. That place is a potential paradise on earth that can be used to rear all kinds of animals—chicken, goats, exotic cattle etc. But those disgusting peeps still chose to engage in abomination.
