Foreign AffairsRe: U.S Peace Proposal To Ukraine & Russia To End War - Full List (Photos) by searchlight: 10:57am On Nov 21, 2025
Heffalump:
It's actually a dummy comment up there. Even Russia knows they can't face USA alone in a real war. Let me educate you a bit: America and NATO are not ready to escalate any war with Russia because of the Global impact ìt will have. You might not also survive it in Nigeria. Then, what about the innocent civilian lives that will be wasted in Russia and all over the world. These guys, unlike Russia are more humane in logical reasoning. The casualties will be severe on both sides, with Russia going down completely.

America + allies are not ready to subject the whole world to Global turmoil, that's the wisdom of holding back and managing this crises as it is. You could confirm that most of the lethal weapons handed to Ukraine had restrictions not to be used inside Russia but within peripheral fringes or borders. Basically, they were used for defence within Ukraine. If Ukraine was hitting Russia hard with Western weapons, may be you and I won't be discussing this today.
You have innocently stated that Russia can't be defeated. If Russia is a country like Iran, America would have dealt with them. We are saying the same thing. Russia might not have the firepower to combat US and other NATO countries in a conventional war, but they have a deterant that everyone fears. If you push them to the wall, everyone will collect. That's called "MAD" Any war that goes nuclear is MAD and no one wants to die just because of ordinary Ukraine

No, they didn't do anything at all.. they left Ukraine all alone to fend for itself aside the weapons they continually gift them and money to mk the government work...

But they can do more, by directly inserting a clause which says.. if Russia invades again, NATO 100,000 forces will be deployed immidiately ND subsequently increase in number all inside Ukraine territory to fluch out Russia...

This is what I call security guarantee. This will send a direct message of consequences to Russia.. not very soft agreements...

Which one is sanction, what can sanctions do..?

Russia directly got North Koran armies into the war, not minding it's consequences, so the US and NATO should not also mind the consequences...

Only nuclear test by America and the declaration of operation southern spears, plus sanction on lukoil ND co, Russia is panting...

They need force not appeasement
That's the invitation to world war III. US get sense pass you. They know that can't fight Russia directly even with NATO, instead they warned Ukraine never to dream of joining NATO. What you just said it automatically making Ukraine a NATO member which will only escalate things. With your little brain you think you know anything lol

So long as the US does not include military action by NATO if Russia invades Ukraine again... Russia will only rest , rebuild and invade again..

The US should involve NATO in the whole set up, if they dnt want to give security guarantee...

The US security guarantee is all about sanctions... It won't work this time around as Russia will plan ahead in how to manuevour them..

It's military retaliation that's will work, not sanction
You think Russia is your Nigeria that panics when Trump coughs? Any direct confrontation between US and Russia automatically starts world war III and Americans are not ready for that. The two nuclear superpower will end themselves. Americans are wiser than you sir.

We are all happy for the sentencing, although I would have preferred death sentence. No need wasting our tax feeding his criminal ass.
No one in your generation both living and the dead would lace Kanus shoes even if he dies today. He made it clear that freedom fighting isn't for cowards and he kept to that.

That's the fact and that's my stand but delusional emotional Nigerians just like to support nonsense all in the name of "We don't like Wike". These precedence you are supporting will definitely have a bitter end that all of you including those supporting this impunity in a democratic setting would suffer for.
You didn't read the part where he condemned Wike's assult on the officer. Anyway if your one-sided judgement makes you happy then I am happy that you are happy

It is from Soludo that I come to realize that academic excellence does not equal wisdom.

One can be a professor and still be stupid. Let's see how far Soludo will go after his tenure in anambra. Maybe Tinubu will hand over to him.

Do you mean Soludo of anambra or the one of Ogbomosho? People go just dey their hole dey talk nonsense.

Soludo wey tax all the shop in anambra state to pay campaign fee for him among other stupid things he does.

It is from Soludo that I know that academic excellence is not wisdom.

PoliticsRe: Soldiers Feared Dead As Boko Haram Hits Borno Military Base by searchlight: 7:18pm On Oct 10, 2025
creolehunt:
I genuinely believe the Nigerian military and intelligence hierarchy is alarmingly incompetent and ineffective.

It’s disheartening that we keep hearing of military bases being attacked and terrorists operating freely, and it makes one question whether any meaningful intelligence gathering exists within our defense system.

A friend once told me that an average Nigerian policeman or military personnel cannot hit a target over a shooting range without shooting sporadically. That's how abysmal the system is.

Truly, it’s a national embarrassment.
Tinubu is incompetent sir. He's the CIC and all security whatever ends on his desk.
PoliticsRe: I Never Said Buhari Had Any Connection With Boko Haram - Jonathan by searchlight: 6:58pm On Oct 05, 2025
SmartPolician:
We know when Boko Haram announced Buhari as their negotiator. We are all alive in this same country at the time. The problem of Jonathan is that he lacks the guts to make tough calls. That's why he didn't invite the ICC to pick up Buhari when he said that the streets would be soaked with the blood of baboon after losing the 2011 election which resulted in the deaths of many southerners in the north, especially corps members.

Had I been the president, that was exactly what I would've done! Let heavens fall! If the ICC picked Buhari up that time, he would be too busy thinking of challenging Jonathan in 2015, and Nigeria wouldn't be in this economic mess. Jonathan should go and rest. He's too weak to lead Nigeria.
You would not have appreciated Jonathan if APC didn't come to power. I like as we are all suffering until we decide to have sense all together

Oga, stop being emotional because it's childish. Reno Omokri is doing his job and getting paid for it. If he attacks, you attack back or ignore him.

When he was attacking Tinubu, Yorubas weren't all over the internet crying that Reno hated them. Everything no be hate. People are trying to get by in a harsh economy.
I fought myself to not agree with you but couldn't win. Reno was hired and he seems to be delivering. Nothing more or less 😂😂😂😂😂

While I like Seyi Tinubu I can say we are not in Monarchy system of government that it is transitional through lineage. Lagos has a lot of competence and potent hands to handle the affairs of the state. The father can't be a president and the son a governor absolutely unacceptable and unrealistic.
You can cry all you want Seyi will rule you and hold the position for his first son. Jagaban of Africa is always right so enjoy his masterclass in Lagos.

I hope he will end up like others one day but for now Wike is the strongest politician in Nigeria only behind the 001.

Tinubu, Wike and Akpabio are strong men of the southern Nigeria running the affairs of the country the way they want. It has never been this way before. The north are completely sidelined.

I hate them but that's the reality 😂😂😂😂

Are Fulanis originally from Nigeria? How come they are settled and ruling the country?
