Foreign Affairs › Re: Trump Orders US Withdrawal From 66 International Organisations,including U.N by Saladdin: 12:12pm On Jan 08
Stephen0mozzy:
World War is not so far away sha.
America's turn to be the new Germany.

While some of the organizations are just clubs of barking dogs with no teeth and waste of public funds for bankrolling the organization's executives, membership actually has a way of providing "brotherhood of check and balance" for the ones that are effective.
I share your sentiments too bro, I don't think is far at all. It's just to amusing to see them decoupling their influence and the current world order brick by brick.

Like most huge empires that preceded them, the American empire will implode from within. Most of the signs are already there.

The final nail to the coffin is when total de-dollarization happens on a global scale.
Education › Re: My First-semester Review Of The MBA Program At Ahmadu Bello University (distance by Saladdin: 12:09pm On Jan 08
pook:
The stress you passed through can't be half of what I went through while doing UI Masters. I even lost my job while at it because at UI, they won't allow you work doing their Academic Masters. Did I say Academic Masters? UI treat all their programmes like Undergraduate.
This is sad. You ought to have ditched them for another less stressful uni. You shouldn't have allowed it to take precedence of over job now.

Nigerian Universities unnecessarily make life hard for students. They need to do a way with that backward mentality of suffering before you get it. It doesn't make the certificate any more prestigious.
Education › Re: My First-semester Review Of The MBA Program At Ahmadu Bello University (distance by Saladdin:
hrm93:
I’ve just completed my first semester in the MBA program at the Ahmadu Bello University Distance Learning (ABUDLC), and here’s an honest review for anyone considering the program.

Onboarding & Welcome Experience
The program started fairly, but students were expected to figure out key things (like WhatsApp groups and tutor access) by checking forums on the learning management system. This information should have been clearly communicated in a welcome email.
Score: 5/10

Lecturers & Teaching
The lecturers in the first semester (they tried sha but my 2nd semester proved it was a set u) were generally fair and reasonably active. Engagement was frequent enough, and the teaching quality was decent overall.
Score: 6/10

Examinations (First Semester)
I wrote my exams on the Lagos mainland at JKK Building, Anthony. Day 1 was very disorganized, although things improved on Day 2. However, when you factor in the emotional and mental stress (especially for working professionals) the experience was far from ideal. Institutions of this caliber should be proactive, not reactive, particularly when they claim to be shaping Africa’s future business leaders.
Score: 4/10

Examinations (Second Semester – Current Situation)
As I prepare for second-semester exams, I received an email just two days before the papers informing us that the Lagos center has been moved from Anthony to Abule Egba. For working students, this last-minute change is extremely disruptive.
Score: 1/10

Grading System
Some lecturers still operate with the “5/5 is for God” mentality, even in 2025, in an era where AI and modern learning tools are redefining education. This approach feels outdated and discouraging.
Score: 6/10

Final Thoughts
If you’re considering this program and have a high tolerance for stress and surprise changes, then this might work for you. At times, it honestly feels like a toxic relationship, you praise them twice for enabling remote learning, then spend eight times dealing with avoidable frustration just to enjoy that privilege.

Won’t recommend to anyone I love.
Something about this poster looks familiar to me!

That aside, their MBA program and other distance learning program is quite good, especially when the immediate past director was in-charge.

Now with this current director, many wonderful things have been reversed. It's painful. If the current tide is not stemmed, they'll go back to being average when it comes to Distance Learning

Now comparing their program to other Universities, especially first gens, they are far ahead. They and NOUN pioneered postgraduate Distance Learning. However compared to NOUN, it doesn't come cheap. But cheaper than other like Uniport, UNILAG etc.

So if you truly want to work, progress and study, Nigeria now has many institutions offering DLC. So prospective students can either explore them or look for other universities that offer DLC programs.

Here is a list, but please, DLC/E-learning program is NOT limited to this list. Also note that although other programs both undergraduate and postgraduate are offered in the Distance Learning mode, this list is more aligned to MBA and similar professional masters program.

-Federal
ABU
Uniport
UNILAG
NOUN
UNN
Unizik
Etc

-State
Tasued
Lasu
Etc.

-Private
Nile University
Covenant
JABU
Iconic Open University
Etc.

It was wrong of you to accuse others as lacking in tactical thinking.

Many here are seasoned analysts by profession or by pure self-research/enthusiasm. Plus the pieces of info and perspectives shared here mirrors that of regional and international think-tank

So I feel an extra dose of social etiquette and humility will do much good going forward, don't you think so too?

it is possible but a deal will have to be made

venezuela's future depends on how demented washington attempts to be

this was president rodriguez out in the streets yesterday

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP9w54fQN3I

she could be assassinated
sh*t can go sideways fast
if they don't, the axis still maintains its presence
if they do, the axis increases its presence because warring factions will need the axis to take on their rivals

bottom line is the axis has spent decades cultivating relationships with power brokers who will make any unilateral hegemonic sole administration of venezuela impossible

to moi, much of this chaos is because of xi pacifism
did i not say even before maduro kidnap that xi should send his navy
ignorant folks were ranting
now putin is sending his because xi head dey touch
xi is making things more difficult than they should be
even this deployment should have been a multi-country armada
russia and china primarily. kim can spare a destroyer. when the war in the levant ends, iran will send a frigate
obtain supplies from brazil and south africa and rotate
the mission is to dare the hegemony to attack the fleet and start ww3 because of venezuela

-Lord
Very well said @LordAdam16. Thanks for the deep exposition. We only hope emperor Xi wakes up and do it faster. Only if the alternative payment system can become a reality by the tail end of this decade.

Definitely expected, his term is already drawing to a close. If those sons of satan can off their own PM for being weak and sympathetic, a judge can easily be iced.

I have been having this feeling that Maduro would walk scott-free in no distant time (though might not return as a president). Do you think it's possible, and also what is your take concerning Venezuela's immediate future without Nicolás Maduro?

Yes o. The clown still thinks this is 2003 where you could spin narratives at will. Is it the oil or the drugs?

Anyways, we know their focus now is Iran, as any SMO in South America would not happen again. Any further attempt towards that now would result into American servicemen and their flying scraps being blown to smithereens all over Caracas.

It's either the megalomanics retrace their strps or it's a full-blown war all the way. Their choice is obvious.

All the adjective you used describes every world power from Russia to US to China...none is a saint.
Russia is fighting a war that has killed several thousands of it soldiers and several thousands of Ukraine soldiers too... Japan didn't do half before US bring it to it senses.
The point is when you escalate MASSIVELY your opponent will surrender but if you try to protect an image and want to make people see you as a better person ( like what Russia is doing) then you will cause more harm than good. Donald Trump would have nuked mexico since if a single missile landed In Washington.
The world already sees Russia as a bad guy, so why not already do it anyways
I agree with most of your points, but Donald Trump CANNOT nuke Mexico for obvious reasons.

There's a gulf of difference between attacking Japan that is over 10,000km to the US and Mexico that they literally play inter-border volleyball game with. The last things they want to deal right now is the radioactive consequences of such decision coupled with the massive influx of people to the North.

Shebi Xi and Putin are still more powerful than trump abi?Putin had wanted to take Ukrainian leader since 2022, it took trump just minutes to remove Maduro and take him to the US. Make XI try and with any other leader in the world anywhere. Even Somalia, make e go remove the leader and take him out of the country to stand Trial in China
He's right, and the yesterday operation made his point hit home even harder. Putin took the path of patience and strategy and it paid off. He has secured prime territories, liberated ethnic Russians and have also increased his country's economic resilience.

The move US made yesterday was like that of an impatient bully and it'll definitely backfire. The last place the US wants to fight a prolonged war is in her backyard.

Now that Maduro has been kidnapped (yes, that's what it is) what exactly has shifted in Venezuela to US's favour. The highest they can do is to imprison the ex-president and nothing changes. If they are what you painted them out to be, let them repeat the operation and try to remove the interim president, since she's not their stooge.

She has taken charge and her first broadcast was to reassure her citizens that they'll rather die resisting than for then to be conquered. Except the US wants to start receiving body bags by their numbers, no thieving US company will be operating in Venezuela in the nearest future.

Time has and will once again prove the importance of patience and strategy.

Mr man I live here in the US and I know everything about Maduro. If you talk about how he maltreated his people and some other crimes I agree with you but not drugs.
Maduro is not the main culprit for the flow of drugs into the US. China and Mexico are real problem.
My oga, we are both saying the same thing. I am also against the kidnapping of Maduro.

I was only pointing out the useless and hateful character of the guy that quoted you.

He used to be reasonable, but now he's full of hate for others not belonging to the same tribe and religion like him. That was what I was pointing out.

Those involved in the clean up are also mossad agents...

You underestimate how deep mossad have taken over Iran...
And you also think Israel isn't swarming with Iranian spies? As a matter of fact some Isrealis will gladly pass vital info to Tehran, anything to depose Satanyahu. Was it not few months ago that pictures of the interior of Dimona was released to the public? Missiles are on high alert in Iran now and they all have their targets in Tel-Aviv.

Like it or not, a thorough house cleaning is being done. Now with the botched regime change in Venezuela and the aggressive posture of the axis, Trump and co have a very long 2026 ahead of them. Hegseth might not have any further role in a post-Trump America, but Vance and Rubio's career is definitely on the lifeline now.

⚡Trump:

We’re going to be running Venezuela with a group, and we’re going to make sure it’s run properly.

We’re going to rebuild the oil infrastructure, which will cost billions of dollars. It will be paid for directly by the oil companies.

They will be reimbursed for what they’re doing, and we’re going to get the oil flowing the way it should be.

As you know, current production is just a minor flow compared to what they have.
What about the cocaine and opioid factories. I thought the aim was to destroy them or the goalpost suddenly shifted mid-game? Thieves!!!

I don't really understand is this particular case about terrorism? Venezuelans are not even Muslims they are predominantly Christians. Children just full this forum.
My Oga, it's like you don't know that guy. He used to be sensible years ago. But he's currently full of rubbish and the hate for Islam is driving him to near-madness.

Just imagine, if not stupidity, what concerns Islam with the Venezuela-America conflict?

Ofunaofu:
We were promised heaven and earth.

We were told that subsidies were the reason Nigeria’s economy was not growing and why there were no developmental projects or good hospitals.
Since the subsidy was removed, the economy has nosedived, there are still no developmental projects, and hospitals are still bad.

Tinubu, where is the money saved from subsidy removal?
Lolz, he has shared it across to the defectors. Muftwang recently collected his, and Abba is on his way to collect his, while Nigerians replace the shortfall by being taxed to death! cheesy

If Nigerians like, they should not correct their mistakes in 2027, body go tell them!

Who told you that I am an Igbo in the first place? From your profile, you seem to be in the US. Anyways, WE ARE IN NIGERIA and we see the realignment going on.

Nothing scares the president and APC more than an Atiku/Obi ticket. Let them have the ticket and watch them win before 3pm that day! There's a reason Mr. President desperately wants Kwankwaso on his team. That's the only factor (aside rigging) that can still improve his fighting chance.

Take this from someone who never voted both of them in the 2023 elections and a growing number of Nigerians also share this sentiment too. By God's Grace, Feb, 2027 is gradually edging close, my prayer is that we should be alive to witness the shock and awe!
