miracle002:
Which mission are they going to execute in Portugal. Just asking

I know you don't expect any of us here to have the answer so I would suggest you write to the Defence HQ in Abuja. They would be best placed to respond. Or better still, see if you can find Tinubu's number and send him a text message for a speedy response. Please share with us when you obtain this information.

Here's conjecture for you. Or is it proof?

https://www.nairaland.com/8582155/us-soldiers-attacked-3-more#137814537

Is this meant for me?

budaatum:
I love Dangote, but what he has provided here is not proof to any reasonable extent, least not as far as I am concerned.

Dangote has not even provided any evidence that Farouk paid the schoolfees he's alleged to have paid, but you want me to join you in lynching Farouk on Dangote's conjectures.

Really not sure where you're going with this...Did I ask you to lynch anyone? I said, in simpler words, Dangote has made a petition and has provided evidence. Let Farouk counter it rather than you jumping through hoops to counter on his behalf. Rather logical.

budaatum:
Is there any indication Farouk was an "average oil and gas worker"?

What would his pay have been if he were above average, like in the top 25%?

What actually amuses me about this is a person of his calibre might get a scholarship for his children in these schools so it costs him a lot less, but I guess we must not see any evidence and just believe my god Dangote.

Do you realize your entire position is built on conjecture? And not entirely reasonable points of conjecture either. For example, it's obvious that even if he was at one point the CEO in these vague oil and gas roles he supposedly held (which he obviously wasn't or we would have heard), he would have started somewhere, and the majority of his years would have been spent climbing the ladder.

Now, Dangote has made an allegation that the man is living beyond his means. He has provided proof to a reasonable extent. It is for Farouk to explain how he got all those millions, which are far beyond his income.

budaatum:
Likely from years of previously working in the United States and the United Kingdom within the oil and gas sector before becoming a civil servant!

What's the average salary for such roles? You keep repeating this stuff as if $5m is something everyone in oil and gas can amass and then dissipate on secondary school fees alone.

The average oil and gas worker earns around $150k annually and that's considered good money.

oz4real83:
is it not a shameful thing that a country of over 200 million people can't produce a quality team that could defeat DRC Congo even if all their squad is filled with ineligible players?

Is it about population? Then China and India should be the best in the world. Population is irrelevant.

CaptainFM1:
I'm not referring to just the ruling. The ruling is a climax of the whole charade. When the constitution says the "Senate shall vote" it doesn't refer to "Aye and Nay". The judiciary simply enabled the charade by making it an academic exercise long after fruition of the emergency rule. We have a caged and bought over judiciary system.

I agree on the bold. That was a sham.

Kukutente23:
First of all, the no declaration can imply suspension of Constitution. That's an aberration. Suspension of constitutional order simply means coup!! You can quote where the constitution says declaration of state of emergency means suspension of constitutional order. State of emergency means breakdown of law and order. It does not imply that the constitution is now suspended.
Lastly, the SC itself has previously said the only two grounds for removal of a validly elected gov as envisaged by the constitution is impeachment or resignation. Nowhere does the constitution imagine a President removing a gov either temporarily or permanently

Lol a breakdown of law and order is the condition for declaring a state of emergency. It is not the same as the meaning and legal effect. You can Google that for better understanding please.

Kukutente23:
So where is it written in the Constitution that the President can suspend the gov

It doesn't have to be. There is a blanket power to declare a State of Emergency. The legal effect of declaring a state of emergency is the suspension of the Constitutional order. So it is not that the powers of the president during a state of emergency should be listed (it is impliedly unlimited), rather the limitations to that power are what should be listed. And there's only one express limitation, which means, by the canons of legal interpretation, no other thing that is not listed is excluded from the President's powers in a state of emergency.

CaptainFM1:
A dangerous Precedent is set.

Which part of the ruling goes contrary to the law? If there is anything dangerous about it, the danger lies in the Constitution itself not in the ruling of the Court which is bound to apply the Constitution as it was written not as we imagine it should be.

He struck out the suit for want of jurisdiction, proceeded to also determine the case on the merits

Impossible. This reporter does not know what he heard.

Svoboda:
Such belligerent tone as the ops makes a bad situation worse. An unfriendly country's airspace was violated by a military aircraft. In every sense of the word, it seems suspicious. At this time, Nigeria should opt for mediators to broker an agreement between the two parties.

In the first place, things shouldn't have been allowed to escalate to this level, no thanks to some ECOWAS govts who lick the shoes of macron. Burkina is a sovereign country, as well as Mali and Niger. They have an alienable right to opt for what is best for them diplomatically. Nigeria has to have the sense to play a diplomatic balancing act.

Burkina is a vast sahelian country, with terrains that are very much suitable for a failure in military occupation. Nigeria can give it a try.

What makes Nigeria unfriendly to Burkina Faso? Have we cut ties with them? Or you're not aware that the Burkinabe Embassy is still open on Abuja today?

Those men are being held as a bargaining chip. It's just unfortunate Tinubu refuses to be a strong leader.

alphaconde:
Let him try and stabilize this thing one place

this up and down de confuse person

That is called market reality.

cr7lomo:
So u know even understand how it works... this 1k we de pay for fuel na the biggest scam... fuel no suppose pass 150naira .. the rest is what they are using to fund their business, government lifestyle

Lol. Explain how fuel is not supposed to cost pass 150naira. Do you know the global cost per barrel of crude?

cr7lomo:
Money from the scam wey fem don scam una ontop fake subsidy... that money is from the money wey dem de scam us ontop fuel price ...in collaboration with government officials and cabals

Like that wicked uncle wey hold papa wey don die land de act like say e care for the pikin e sell papa land 50m ...come give 5m as sponsor for education...the person come de happy de praise am....

When did Dangote collect subsidy? I'm not understanding wetin this one dey talk....Was Dangote ever a fuel marketer to collect fuel subsidy?? Are you even sure you know wetin be subsidy?

Wickedtruths:
Reminds me of Dangote Graduate Drivers Scheme.
How many of his trucks do you see graduates driving?

Brethren, sing with me.

If you do good, kingdom...

You mean you expect to see the drivers with placards on their foreheads that read: I am a Nigerian graduate" or what asinine point are you trying to make?

Leebeedo:
You falling for scammers isn't the banks fault, it's the acc holders fault.

What does this comment have to do with what i said?

frisky2good:
Lions and tigers don't live in same habitat so a clash is very unlikely.

It's a hypothetical, so you don't need to address the obvious reality, which is only partially true because certain places like India have both lions and tigers, even though they don't share the same habitat - it is theoretically possible that one could stray into the habitat of the other.

Besides, there is also the human factor, and thanks to humans, tigers and lions live together in certain places, and they have indeed fought several times on record.

Lickinsidetoto3:
I don talk am say if your moniker no dey verified for nairaland, no quote me.

37 goals... 20 pk... others tapings... no long range as proper 9, no nutmeg...

20 penalites where? Osimhen has not even taken up to 6 penalties for Nigeria. And is a 9 meant to score long range or be in the box? Is it nutmegs you use to judge a striker? what on earth is this one saying?

Shift please.

Racoon:
So sorry Kukah. It's too late to deny because that speech is already out there in the public domain. Imagine a supposed knowledgeable person saying the definition of genocide rests on the intent and not casualty figures. God abeg!

Once a group of people are targeted because of their religious beliefs, then a clear case of genocide has been established! You can continue twisting words to satisfy your your new slave masters.

Your siding the persecutors of the Christian faith is clear. At least the world now knows where you stand!

This is actually the truth. Genocide is a specific crime that requires the intention to wipe out in whole or evenin part, a specific distinct group either on religious or ethnic or other grounds. However, it is obvious that the intent is there, which qualifies the situation in Nigeria as a genocide by the definition of the word.

Lickinsidetoto3:
He no sabi play anything... this guy is a proud and anyhow player... the only way I can rate this dude na if to say him win anything for national team... no be all this bandit league

37 goals in less than 50 games is someone who no saving play anything. can you see how hate compresses your ability to think?

Kalashnikov49:
My take:


Who sent the plane to Burkina Faso.
A C130 is a Transport plane. What was the essence of the trip.? What equipment was it carrying?
Portugal has refuted the lie of the Army claiming they were coming for a visit.


The fact that the Army came and told lies means explicitly that the SECURITY apparatus of the country is totally compromised.

Burkina Faso is a member of West African Nations that are against ECOWAS and have already threatened to bring down any rescue JET that is foreign to their airspace.

Will they now use propaganda to cover this obvious void in the chain of command in the armed forces?

Burkina Faso is totally ready for anything.

Now it's obvious that FRANCE has the ballz of TINUBU in their hands.

Anything France says, TINUBU does.

Awon Sophisticated strategist....come and talk.

Nonsense.

When did Portugal refute the claim that they were en route there? You people and your ridiculous Facebook and WhatsApp lies.

From the photos it seems clear that one policeman fought one soldier and the other policeman was the peacemaker.

obama30:
Say what you know not exaggeration.
Burkina Faso, as part of the Sahel Alliance (AES), claims to have upgraded its air defense with Russian support, reportedly operating advanced Russian fighter jets (like Su-25s or similar) and deploying high-tech Turkish drones and missile systems, capable of intercepting unauthorized aircraft like the Nigerian C-130 cargo plane recently forced down, though specific advanced jets (like Su-30s/57s) remain unverified and likely aspirational, with their actual operational capacity focused on modernizing older Soviet-era planes.

Why are you deceiving yourself? Even the AI you went to copy from says all your claims are unverified.

EvaWriter:
AES is basically saying “no more warnings. Omo, one wrong move in that airspace now and it’s over.

People who weren't even aware a Nigerian aircraft was operating in their airspace until it needed to make an emergency landing? Clowns.

owobokiri:
Fake propaganda by the West to stop Russia from helping African States

You people can support any evil on earth as long as it suits your politics. What a shame.

SaiOba:
This guys have seen how Burkina Faso is fast becoming a new country from what she used to be.

Has nothing to do with Burkina Faso and everything to do with the waning influence of France in Africa. The Francophone countries are going through the same cycle the anglophone countries went through when the British withdrew.

matify83:
The coup was not only planned but executed leading to the deaths of several soldiers at Dodan barracks including the ADC to Gen. Babangida, Col. U. K Bello.

Read up the Maj. Gideon Orkar coup if "you don't know history"

What does the Orkar coup have to do with Mamman Vatsa? Won't you rather shut up if you're confused??

Leebeedo:
As long as they are covered under NDIC, we are good.

What does the NDIC have to do with scammers?

Basicend:
Sir,

With due respect sir.

How will you be leaving huge monies in such fintech accounts?

You know the fragile regulations that protect these app based online banks.

You need a knock on the head. He doesn't use the fintechs. He said monies moved from his account were moved into fintech accounts.

NOGRUDGES:
You once said Nigeria is fantastically corrupt, you na system person, collecting loaves of bread seriously since 19 00

He never said that. That was David Cameron.

Despite the red carpet setback, MI Alaga’s perseverance paid off. He eventually won the ‘Best Rap Single’ award, receiving a gold plaque from Ayo Animashaun.

Even in this very post you people have refused to recognize M.I Abaga. Coz we don't know who M.I Alaga is.
