All our problems are Self inflicted.
Igbos do not want to be part of Nigeria.. The solution dey simple organize a referendum and if the majority vote for it you allow them go. But trust the black man to always choose the hard way out. blood must be spilled. Same thing is happening in Cameroon, Ethiopia and many other countries in Africa. Our ways are just different. Everything about us is just different. I agree with the first part of your post but unfortunately, the second part is just ignorant. There is not a single country anywhere on earth where one part of the country has decided to leave and a referendum was granted and they left peacefully. Never has it happened. You don't have to look far for examples: 1. USA civil war 2. More recently, Spain has imprisoned separatist leaders |

This is of course a matter for the police to intervene in.
1. Go and report this case immediately so that the police can prosecute the teacher on at least two charges, one for assaulting a minor, and two for threat to life
2. Get a lawyer and sue the School. They are vicariously liable for the actions of the teacher. |

The argument submitted here is not legally sound. An illegality remains an illegality regardless of who initiated it or whether a party to the concern has willingly participated in it. That is not to say that the panels are illegal or not illegal, but simply that the legal argument here is not convincing.
This man has not even cited a single law or authority to support his position. |

Appleyard: To forestall a US invasion..... Even the craziest US general would be amazed at your incredulously suicidal bragado. This is a historical fact. Whether you choose to accept it or not is entirely up to you. Quit bothering me. |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Russia Threatens To Destroy 32 Nato Satellites To Cripple Missile Systems (Pics) by SmartyPants(m): 1:01pm On Nov 26, 2021 |
Appleyard: Your argument lacks logical deduction. In essence, you are saying for one to be relevant and be taking seriously, one has to be a "bully", right? If that's the case with your illogical assertion, I'm sorry to tell you that you made no sense.
It also shows that you know nothing about geopolitics and realpolitik.
That NATO and the US does interfer, invade, overthrow legitimate governments and destabilize nations everywhere is what certified their capabilities as a true power while the likes of Russia and China just sit within the periphery of their borders to deter threats without making concerted moves is what make them irrelevant means you're reasoning like a kid.
NATO was designed to serve US hegemonic influence of world domination. Russia's geopolitical interest lies within the periphery of it's formal Soviet space, with a flinch down the Mediterranean from the Black Sea, pivoting towards the East of Europe and Asia.
So while Russia will sit docile on most international conflicts, it won't hesitate to act decisively where it's national interests cum geopolitical red lines are threatened.
Iraq and Libya are strong Russian business allies but Russia did nothing to help them when the US led NATO missions invaded and turn these countries into rubbles today. Apart from weapons sold to them, Russia did not intervene because they serve no geopolitical core interest for Russia as a geopolitical power.
So Russia acquiesced even to the bombing of Libya and from then, the West took the initiative and, mistaking the Russian passivity as weakness, they opened another front door in their hegemonic quest for control of resources and power...by destabilizing Ukraine and sponsoring revolution in Syria. The primary goal was to make Ukraine a NATO member and the price for that was Sevastopol and the Crimean naval ports where NATO ships would be stationed. The goal for Syria was to get A pipeline that would pass through Syria into Europe to cut off the Russian gas leverage.
And they got the shocker of their lives.
Russia did not only outflanked NATO in Syria and in Ukraine but it took Crimea and annealed the CIA sponsored colour coded revolution in both countries. After giving a one hour clear-the-air notice to the US military command for the middle East stationed in Iraq, the next day saw Russian forces launching kaliber cruise missiles fr submarines hundreds of miles away while Russian fighter planes started bombing the NATO sponsored and equipped terrorists in Syria, establishing itself as grandmaster of the geopolitical game.tje ediots could only sit and watch while US polithiefcians wailed and demand explanations from the US army on how come Russia was able to deploy it's forces so fast. Till date, Assad is still in power and Ukraine can't join the EU let alone being a NATO member because Russia acted when the West crossed its redlines.
So, let this sink into your mind, NATO can make moves wherever they liked, but once they cross another Russian red line, even Satan would be shocked what the Russians would do.
History tells us that those who dared crossed the Russian geopolitical redlines never returned alive or remain the same to tell the takes. Georgia, Ukraine and Syria are prime recent examples that confirmed historical truths about Russia.
Those of you kids who thinks that Russia is irrelevant just because you don't press a Russian made smartphone or you are not opportuned to be zombified by a Russian version of Hollywood, which decieved you that life started and ends in America, better pray that the idiots in political suits in the West don't drive Russia to nuts one day because your entire existence might depends on it.
Don't bother replying me. Wrong. Never said or even implied such so for you to read that meaning into it it means you either can't read or, far likelier, you just don't have sense. Good day. |

He said they wanted to invade. you are clearly an ignoramus .....go read about the failed bay of pigs attack
And are you talking about secrecy of the western nations weapon designs ......lol We know of theirs even before they are tested And mind you .....you think the eastern nations don't have secrets too.....why am I even wasting time .....if you know a little history ....then you will know of who is even discret Like I said, you have nothing at all to offer. The US removed their nukes from Turkey, one year after the Cuban missile crisis, whereas Krushev was forced to remove his to forestall a US invasion. You'll be ignored form here on. |

Secondly .....why do you think only the eastern bloc doles out propaganda ?
Thirdly If you don't know about the actual known capacities of these countries and if you don't know who leads in rocket technology then you are just ignorant You clearly have the mental capacity of a green pea. 1. Is Cuba in geographical, political and cultural affinity to the mainland US as Ukraine is to Russia? 2. Are you not aware that Russia was forced to back down over the Cuban missiles when it became apparent that the US was about to invade Cuba? 3. What examples of western propaganda can you cite as to the capabilities of their weapons? These nations are largely silent on these matters, to the point of extreme secrecy. You have nothing to offer. Kindly do not mention me again. |

Please do not quote me again as you clearly have no sense. Did I say there is a long list of opponents stronger than Russia? It is undisputable that Russia is one of the world's major military powers, yet it is obvious that in terms of its historical enemies we are talking about just a few nations, i.e the US, UK, and in the less recent time, Germany. Please, as I said, do not quote me again. |

abeeee: Bro there is no insight here ....the weapon was tested and the whole world knew about it ......even I saw the test as irresponsible because they put the lives of persons (including Russians) on the iss at risk
So bro it isn't and besides if you have been following up, you will know that they long had these tech . And every one knows Russia leads in rocket technology Lol. Having the missile is one thing, having the capacity to take out the entire NATO satellite system is quite another. That is obvious propaganda designed to scare western populations into pressuring their governments to stay out of the war. It is the same tactic used by China and North Korea, and Iran. What do they have in common? Despite all their weapons tests and displays, they never actually make a move, while NATO makes no threats, but moves all over the world. Incidentally, that was the same tactic used by Saddam Hussein, who promised the mother of all wars shortly before his entire military infrastructure was ravaged in less that 24 hours. If you still think you are making sense, let me ask you, do you think Russia can interfere in Puerto Rico the way the NATO is interfering in Ukraine? Have some insight! Oh, and your statement of evidence, "Everyone knows" really means nothing. |

mach7: Please can you share where it was initially published in Russian state media?
Secondly, what you mean by exaggerate? Do you have an independent means of validating what their capabilities are or you are just regurgitating Western media talking points? 1. Can't you read? This is an excerpt from the article on the OP:State-controlled Russian Channel One TV host Dmitry Kiselyov - dubbed Putin’s “mouthpiece” and “propagandist-in-chief” - has claimed the satellite strike was a deliberate warning to the West not to cross the Kremlin’s red lines on Ukraine.
He boasted in the event of worsening relations, Russia could wipe out 32 GPS satellites crucial for Nato’s military operations, including the pinpointing of missile strikes.
“We shot down the old Soviet Tselina-D satellite in space orbit,” said Kiselyov.
“That was the completion of tests of Russia’s anti-satellite system, the accuracy of which (Defence Minister) Sergei Shoigu called jewellery-like.
“It means that if Nato crosses our red line, it risks losing all 32 of its GPS satellites at once.”
This would “blind all their missiles, planes and ships, not to mention the ground forces."As you can see, the main source of this is a fellow called Kiselyov, who is a broadcaster at Russian Channel One. 2. It is a known fact that emerged after the cold war, that the majority of Russian missiles were actually good for nothing which meant that Russia was posturing the entire time.Read thoroughly: https://www.armscontrol.org/act/2011-05/missile-gap-myth-its-progeny#:~:text=After%20the%20launch%20of%20Sputnik,of%20the%20Soviet%20ICBM%20force. An excerpt: After the launch of Sputnik, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev bragged that his country’s factories “were turning out missiles like sausages” and greatly exaggerated the size and operational capabilities of the Soviet ICBM force.[17] Asked at the time by his son why he was doing so, he explained that “the number of missiles we had wasn’t so important.… The important thing was that Americans believed in our power.”[18] That potential U.S. opponents from Saddam Hussein’s Iraq to Ali Khamenei’s Iran want to exaggerate their capabilities is logical, but the U.S. bias in considering such governments’ claims is to assume they are masking hidden capabilitiesAnd don't waste my time mentioning me again since you cannot read or do basic research yourself. |

wink2015: The russian state seems to have the security of the world at their own palm.
Nato is just beating empty chest. \ Don't be a gullible mind that believes every piece of propaganda. Develop the ability to process information with insight. For example: 1. This piece of news was initially published by the Russian state media which is de facto known as its propaganda house 2. It was republished by a tabloid, a paper that makes its money by selling sensational and often hollow stories to captivate less discerning minds. 3. Finally, at least go back t your history and read to learn that Russia has always exaggerated its military capability in order to deter its stronger opponents. Logically, the stronger fella in a fight does less threatening and more hard hitting. I hope I have been able to help you with some insight. |

Prenonjebose: Mercy after death. So, the players know that they have been playing poorly. Since, some of them have been misbehaving before each of those matches, then they should suffer the consequence of their actions, which ultimately is getting kicked out of the AFCON in the group stage. In those days, the senior players were able to help in imposing a measure of discipline in the younger players and new entrants. Though backed by irresponsible administrators, as claimed, Rohr is too docile. Westerhoff never allowed any power that be, influence his players so negatively. The sex party issue, I believe was not a one off thing. Rohr never made an effort to decamp the players involved. Rather, Awaziem started the match, and Iheanacho came in later. They have grown too comfortable with the gaffer. Such level of disrespect. Well, just to digress a bit, this may be an offshoot of the level of decadence and impunity in the society. But are you aware the NFF says such never happened? Don't you think its rather unlikely? |
