vowiski: You clear don’t know how Civil war works.. You were not born when Nigeria had one..
With the Polarized military, Nigeria’s military will stand Zero chance against the people.. Does one need to have been born when the Nigerian civil war happened to have an appreciation of the nuances of civil war? What sort of argument is that? Certainly, in any case, even if you per chances were born by then, you're almost certain to have been too young to have any proper appreciation of tactical military issues. In the parlance of today's youth, rest! You are not impressing anyone with your age. First of all, the military is not polarized in any way. There is no evidence of this whatsoever. But if you have evidence why not share? Secondly, we are not discussing civil war - we are discussing civil uprising, i.e the people vs the military: in which case, what we are really discussing is some of the people vs the rest of the people with the military united on one side. Thirdly, assuming it then degenerates into a full scale war, we have seen how that turned out. The side with the numerical advantage, which will be the government side, which also has superior equipment and a network of international partners will win. I thought you said you had learned lessons form the previous civil war? What are those lessons if you can't see all this? |

seguno2: How do fake socialists who call themselves progressives, transit to local production with government control and ownership of factories and farms?
Is it not obvious that PDP’s private sector model is what is needed? Something that the Russians and Chinese realised a while back, and dumped socialism for prosperous capitalism of private companies  I've said it over and over that Atiku had the best policies but unfortunately, he had no path to power. Now, we must make do with the man we have. The truth is, there is already a substantial reformation of the economy in terms of private sector involvement but it starts with basic things like removal of fuel subsidies and getting the refining game right which I believe is on point atm. |

SmartPolician: This sounds like some good news, but borrowing dollars from Afreximbank to stop the naira from experiencing a free fall won't fix the problem.
Tinubu should look for sustainable, long-term solutions to the problem. Unfortunately, I don't see him doing that. The long-term solution is to transit to local production. Everyone knows this. Unfortunately, the structural bottlenecks impeding a production-based economy are huge and painful to remove. Can any president remove them effectively while the opposition leverages the immediate pain to score political points? We are a nation divided against itself. |

vowiski: So you really think 230k military men can overpower even 10 million civilians ?
Don’t wish for chaos..
Even America military would not survive if it’s citizens go against it..
Nobody what’s a civil war.. Even the mandate thief will be looking where to escape if everyone comes out…
If you start to shoot and kill your citizens indiscriminately , it’s even worse..:
Check other nations where the people rose against its government. They all thought they were invisible until the worse happened.
Please stop thinking and acting like a goat online. Nobody wishes for such horror to befall this nation but just on a matter of logic, 230k to 10 million civilians will be terrible for the civilians. You are also not factoring in the fact that the other side has its own 10 million civilians to oppose yours. |

Sports › Re: It Is Unfair To Make Me The Scapegoat - Sancho Hits Back At Ten Hag by SmartyPants(m): 1:58pm On Sep 04, 2023 |
thesicilian: Well, I like to read between the lines, as not everything is 'obvious'. Would the issue of Sancho's fitness been in discussion if the coach hadn't lost that match woefully? First it was Ronaldo, then Rashford, now Sancho. My opinion is that man u has become just another average club and they always blame their star players for their failures Certainly. Sancho is a big-money signing who is expected to be in the squad if fit. His lack of productivity is already a big recurring story in the press and his absence on its own, apart from United's defeat is a big story. Secondly, you seem to be shifting the responsibility for the question being asked to the manager who merely answered what was asked of him. So you appear to be arguing that Ten Hag knew that United would lose and dropped Sancho to create a situation for the reporter to ask about? Otherwise, I really cannot see how one can draw the conclusion that Sancho was being blamed for a loss he did not participate in - how do you connect those dots? He didn't play so by definition, nothing he did affected the game - and the manager has not said otherwise. |
Sports › Re: It Is Unfair To Make Me The Scapegoat - Sancho Hits Back At Ten Hag by SmartyPants(m): 1:35pm On Sep 04, 2023 |
thesicilian: A good manager will not openly blame his players for the failure of the team, in fact most will rather take the blame openly and then in private criticise the team members who were responsible for the defeat. He obviously did not blame him for the failure of the team - he was asked why he left him out and he explained why. Him being left out and the team losing have no correleation. |

festacman: It put a kind of pin on ECOWAS balloon as far as Niger coup is concerned. Not at all - ECOWAS is an autonomous body with very little interest in what is happening outside ECOWAS. In terms of justification, the bloc only needs the approval of its own Assembly of heads of state, the concurrence of the AU and of course, the silent agreement of its international partners. The Gabon coup does not change any of that. If anything at all, it strengthens the moral argument for interventions since ECOWAS can now argue that if strong action is not taken, more coups will happen. |

He should just call emergency meeting of ECOWAS and read the riot act, insisting on the following points though he lacks the requisite credibility at home front: - Hold credible election. - Obey the constitution on tenure of office. - Don't steal money from the public treasury but use it to develop the country. - Do your best , allow the people chose the next president and hand over power.
African Union wake and smell the coffee. It is time to change the dance steps. Gabon is in Central Africa - no business of ECOWAS. |

UncleAyo: How true is the news?
How To Identify And Differentiate A Yoruba Name Or A Yoruba Person From Other Nigerians.
This guide will help non-Nigerian to different Yoruba from other Nigerian.
Quick one: A. A Yoruba name does not have 'Ch', 'Kw' written in it. B. You rarely will find two (non nasal) consonant written together except for 'Gb' which is very common. C. A Yoruba name or word does not begin with the letter 'U' D. There are no Q, C, Z, X, and V alphabets in Yoruba words so you will not see them in a Yoruba name.
## On Nigeria Passport, ''Place of birth" of most Yoruba people are located in these state: Oyo state, Lagos State, Ogun state, Ondo State, Kwara state, Osun state, Ekiti state, Kogi state and Edo state (All south west state). If you search on google. e.g Ibadan (my place of birth) is located in Oyo state. ## Most Yoruba persons are respectful. ## Most Yoruba people are civil. Their engagement are mostly intellectually. ## Although, Yoruba people are very spiritual, you will rarely see a Yoruba person as religion extremist. ## Most young Yoruba are Hardworking, Tech savvy, honest and trust worthy. They are Omoluabi. ## A Yoruba person is not boastful. ## Most Yoruba person are contented. ## Most Yoruba are easygoing ## Few of the elderly Yoruba people have tribal mark on their faces.
Tori bi omo o ba daran la se n fun l'oruko. Those non-Yoruba people who are well determined to spoil Nigeria name both within and outside the country (in the name name of being a Nigerian) should be easily differentiated from Yoruba. Edo is not a South West state and never has been. |

This is my thought which is not cast on stone. As a respecter posted on this forum I'm disappointed this is coming from you. If there was such a secret arrangement do you think they need to meet on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly plenaries to discuss it? Do you think they could be so simple??
