its funny seeing fury playing soft mind games...we all know fury knows how to walk into heads of his opponets n he would beat A.J with points...thats my opinion

These comments are from a decade ago

VULCAN:
Hahaha.

The usual Nairaland empty chest beater who is dependent on his parents for school fees but talks a big game online.

Not only are you sub par intellectually you are either a chronic liar or an amnesiac otherwise how can you forget what you typed just a few hours ago?

You said he should go to court and not expect help from Nigeria but I guess you forgot(or you're a pathological liar which explains why you would openly deny what you just typed)

Pseudo intellectuals are all over the online space while they can't even get a job offline.

[/b]

Lol...even as u are quoting my two statements, you still are outrightly confusing your tired mind.

Where did I say he should not expect help from Nigeria?

The import of what I said was clearly that the foreign ministry cannot help him because it has no powers to do so, and he should seek redress through the legal systems, both local and international. I clearly specified international because Nigeria could take Uganda to an International Court if it felt that its citizen's right were being violated.

Now you being ignorant of these matters have jumped in and shat your pants.

For the last time, away with you!

Litmus:
Really? so understanding and lenient? What about Nigerian celebs going to CNN or Algazeera to report Uganda? What about Nigerian social media screeamies going to YouTube to shout and scream about his rights being violated?

Are screams and shouts only fit for abusing Nigeria?

Why are you asking what I know nothing about?

Did I send anyone to cnn? Or social media? L

onyechez:
Ask sowore and bobi wine.

Lol. But in both of those cases there are clear reasons for the government to antagonize those individuals but I can't see any reason why Uganda would suddenly want to punish Omah Lay and Tems for no reason.

VULCAN:
Some people just cannot hide their envy for successful people.

Your ignorance smells to high heavens because there is NO developed country that will not involve its diplomatic arm to intervene when their national is being mistreated in a foreign land.

Trump intervened to free a black rapper in Holland and you are here spreading your ignorance.

I never said Nigeria should not intervene. I said why does he expect that Uganda must allow it.

We are obviously not intellectual equals so don't strain your brain too much trying to engage me.

off you go!

onyechez:
Use your head if the permit wasn't granted the organizers wouldn't go ahead to organize the show, they wouldn't waste resources to invite the artists all the way from Nigeria.

But now they have been arrested. Using your own head, do they arrest people for doing the right thing or for doing the wrong thing?

tegrianonigltd:
Trump intervened Asap rocky. Try to be diplomatic in your comment, do research, not just come and say rubbish, he is a citizen of Nigeria, and the president swore to protect every citizen

Lol. So Trump did it means that Uganda must allow Nigeria to do it?

By the way are you aware that Asap Rocky went to jail?

You have little sense young man.

King44:
that is how things are done.

And even if there was no permit organisers should be the one they should arrest, because I am sure he publicized it on TV/radio etc and definitely the their gvt, police were aware but they waited for the artists to perform then arrested them.

The report is that they were arrested alongside 4 Ugandans. Ostensibly, the organizers. Now the question is, what does Ugandan law actually say? Does it limit liability to the organizers? Does it consider the singers to be part of the organizers?

Do you know the answers?

King44:
why would they give the organisers permit and then go ahead to arrest.

It's is a set up

You saw the permit?

Jerryembassy91:
You are ignorant of what you are talking about, keep mute

Lol. Okay tell me more...how does it work legally?

Odunolumide:
Because that is what they do.
This is a simple offence which probably attracts only fine and thus can be settled through diplomatic relations.
They aren't sending them to jail for breaking covid rules,are they?
So what's all this fuse all about.
They should just fine them and release them .
And yea,the Foreign affairs ministry can secure their release effortlessly.

lol.

Okay, reference the law that compels a State to allow the foreign ministry of another state to help its citizens get out of trouble for breaking laws.

I eagerly await an enlightened submission.

Why does he expect that the Nigerian foreign ministry has a right to secure his release?

If the Ugandans are violating his rights in anyway, the matter is to be settled in Court (both local and international) not by the foreign ministry.

AfroKnight:
What of the fans that attended the concert? Did they not violate the rules too? What about the organisers and the security at the gate that let people in?

They are just using our artistes as scapegoats.

Report clearly says they were charged alongside 4 Ugandans.

Benesis:
And this happened after Trump fired the Director of Cyber Security

Believe APC at your own peril.

Best to keep a positive mindset. If they fail, hold them accountable, but I can't see what you gain from walking about refusing to believe anything at all. After all, they have not asked you to pay up front, so what do you have to lose from being positive?

CamusMidas:
How many Nigerians have such disposal cash carelessly at hand?

Mortgages will be made available sir, didn't you read?

Besides its obvious not every Nigerian can own one of these homes.

Aboki99:
Child marriage is better than raping young girls in uncompleted buildings in Ajegunle or Onitsha. You know full well that finding a virgin in all Southern Nigeria's primary and secondary schools is like finding a needle in a haystack but you are being hypocritical about this fact.

So is virginity of the youth or the lack thereof something to be proud of when you travel? Try not to let your mind wander aimlessly

Dreadlock69:
I created this topic in this section to get a wider audience please contribute if you have /had the experience
Early my teenage years, I do have a female neighbor very close we play and do all things together both bad and good you know what I mean,most times she will sleep and her eyes will be open lying at her back ,I do mock her about this and laugh about it .she always say she can't control it that I won't understand that she see everything happening around her but can't move ,I'll be like how is it possible I don't believe you but she will say dreadlock69 you won't understand.though she really stressed herself sleeping late but she is very bright with her books my parents used her to mock me.
However mine started when I was ss2 I could remember vividly well it happened one night I was sleeping all of a sudden something griped me I can't move I can't breath it was like something or someone inside the room was taking my life force out of me ,I'm very much aware of my environment but when it's stopped I be gasping for air and my heart will be racing ,this repeatedly happens every night at times worst and horrifying ,one night it happened again I was terrified and told my parents they told me nothing gonna happen that I should pray over it.
"Omo nah just the beginning I dey see ooo"
Later when I finish my secondary school I still experiencing it but ,this time round I can breath well but still see images .then I got my new phone I surfed the internet then I came across an article talking about this which seems to relate to what I experience then I made more and more research and findings which were scarying and calming.i remember one time I'd told my brother not to touch my phone strictly warning him then I slept off and the sleep paralysis started I woke up but can't do anything can't move ,can't talk just lifeless but I can see and I'm aware of what is going on in my environment and behold my brother was using my phone I was in anger but I can't do anything I just lay there lifeless with anger in me till it fades off thank his stars he went out before I regain consciousness
Another experience was when I watching a horror movie it happened the again when I was having a nap I was so scared I just have to close my eyes not to see images.
Later on I had full control over it and sometimes I transit from that state to lucid dreaming. Then I had a good work with all good amenities not stressful you can take a nap anytime you like , funny enough my partner experience it also I noticed the day he was sleeping but his eyes where open trying hard to move his body ,I just left him till it's fade off
So one day I was having a nap in the bedroom my boss was calling me I could hear him but I can't move anything just laying lifeless I was praying he should not catch me in this state .
Sometimes I'll have to call my partner but he is still in that state but I have to wake up,which he do wake up looking frightened.

I just learned how to lived with it cause I can't do anything bout it and feel for people who experience this but don't know how to manage it
Probably transit from that state to lucid dreaming
Maybe someday I'll have to tell my spouse or someone to close to me to not get frightened if they see me like that maybe a girlfriend, a wife ,my child I can't say for now
What your opinion on this

When you experience sleep paralysis, simply calm down and relax, assuring yourself that you are fine. Breath deeply and slowly. You will snap to of it.

If it occurs frequently, it might be a sign of an anxiety disorder.

Aboki99:
Yes, let her blacklist the north for practicing their own religious doctrine which, ordinarily, should not concern anyone who is not a muslim. And also blacklist the south for wire fraud, cyberscam, drug pushing etc which is a cause for concern affecting millions of US innocent citizens. At least Hisba and death penalty for blasphemy doesn't directly or indirectly affect the US or its citizens but cyber scams and drug pushing do affect them very negatively. The scammers and drug pushers from the south are the reason I and other decent Nigerians feel ashamed to identify ourselves as Nigerians when we fly abroad. But thank God, many countries are now realizing the difference between the cool and honest northern Nigerians and the criminal southerners. Go to Malaysia and see, if you tell them your are from Nigeria, the first question they'll ask you is , North or South? If you say you are from the south not cab driver would stop and pick you because they know you guys . Moreover, yorubas and Nyamiri change their names to some muslim names in order to get visa to UK or US because the two embassies know who criminally violate visa conditions and overstay their welcome or commit crimes in their towns are 99.99% xtian from south . Receive ye some education, young man!

Meaning you proud of boko haram and your murderous fulani kith and kin? You proud of your wildly corrupt politicians who have held Nigeria's commonwealth at a stranglehold? You are proud that Northern Nigeria is the true poverty capital of the world? You are proud that Northern Nigeria still rampantly and openly practices child marriage?

funny.

DMerciful:
This writer is showing cowardice by trying to lump in christianity so it's not obvious he is talking about Islam. He should be bold and say it that the country was blacklisted due to the actions of Islamic fundamentalists!

Don't mind him... with such watery and wishywashy justifications.

gaius01:
Arrrrrrrh

Who read all?

In summary...?



So who gave the order? You see this question is very common in Nigeria. Very bemused Country.

Do you think every single order comes straight from the top?

You must realize that the IGP would not be able to function if he was required to authorize every single nation. Rather, there is a chain of command with varying degrees of power to act in the stead of the IGP.

As of now, the legal officer ha been queried, and an investigation launched. These will answer your question.

Angelfrost:
Sigh... Then, ALL IS TRULY LOST!!!

I came to that conclusion a while ago. The youth are not better than the aged.

Angelfrost:
Any small thing, lowlifes will turn tribal...

A simple and deep post about how Nigeria has failed woefully to learn about self sufficiency as a key part of massive development and economic growth, has been turned to a pointless, idiotic, and moronic tribal war among imbeciles!!!

I hope most of the people commenting here don't make up the mindset of the majority of the voting population... If so, this nation is doomed eternally!!!

Shame on you all!!!

You already know the answer

Farki:
You sure took your time to find this highly misleading list, let's break it down;

- First this list is for total military strength, the topic at hand is about Air strength.

- Even at that the way it is measured is highly misleading, population, road coverage, oil production all factor into the ranking and Ethiopia has no oil, a smaller population and is a mountainous area.

- It makes no mention of tactics at all.

Now let's get to the main point.

- It measures number of aircraft as superior but makes no mention of the types of aircraft available.

- Nigeria has more helicopters and trainer aircraft with trainers making 1/3 of the "military strength".

- The 13 dedicated attack aircraft are the Super Tucano planes that we have bought but are yet to use.

- Ethiopia has less aircraft overall but more fighters which are designed specifically to destroy other aircraft. If we were to have an air superiority battle with Ethiopia Nigeria would lose because most of the air power is focused on fighting ground targets.

- If we are even to take this list seriously Angola would destroy Nigeria in the air.

Sir, I used that source because the rest are blogs.

https://www.africanmilitaryblog.com/2017/12/the-top-10-best-air-force-in-africa

Even here Nigeria is still ahead of Ethiopia.

But let me not stray too far from my original point which was that Nigeria does not need advanced fighter aircraft.

Even the most sophisticated fighter jet has a limited flying range so you only buy fighter jets if :

1. You have nearby powerful and hostile neighbors; or,

2. You have aircraft carriers or a network of bases across the region.

The point is, Nigeria is the air power in our region and those with superior Air Forces on the continent do not have the capacity to deploy them against us effectively. So we buy what we need, which is simply enough power to decimate boko haram.

Ethiopia

Not according to reputable rankings.

Freshfish4:
Other African countries are seriously upgrading military arsenal, na this world war 1 stupid ancient refurbished jet we dey buy. How the might has fallen

There is no sub-saharan African country with an Air Force on a par with Nigeria other than South Africa.

I challenge you to name one.

You don't buy expensive aircraft merely to say you have bought expensive aircraft. You buy the ones that fit your needs. Nigeria is battling Boko Haram who do not have air capabilities and this these jets are suitable.

bigfish3k:
They are all indigenes of Rivers and therefore they are descendants from Benin Kingdom

You can't be claiming non igbo when you think or delude yourself that things are rosy for you

You can't just be using igbo names to commit crimes when in reality you are a descendant from Benin

How are people from Rivers descendants of Benin?

Bighead5:
The Suspects are all IGBO from Abia State.

A police source told our correspondent that the suspects hail from Rumuodogbo but reside in Aba town, Abia State,

Jashub:
I agree, but try and look at it from this perspective : you receiving a text from an anonymous number on WhatsApp is a breach on your privacy and security. And as you know, this is 9ja, and you cannot vouch for the next man. So her response is only natural given the circumstances

Receiving a text is not a breach of privacy. Phone numbers are meant for communication and in the old days, you would have phone number bera listed in publicly accessible phone books.

Now even if she views such as an intrusion, all she had to do was wait to hear him out and then react.

GreyLaw:
It took a lot of pressure before Trump could send those troops. In fact, Trump fired the General who has been resisting it. Trump wants to bring some of the troops home from Afghanistan and that same General has been hindering it.

As for the BLM protest, the troops dared not shoot anybody. Police can shoot but never at unarmed protesters, never. If the troops ever tried that on American soil and on unarmed, peaceful protesters, Trump would be roasted upside down in a fire. I understand American politics quite well.

Jonathan sent troops during Subsidy protest, but what they did was to come early in the morning and occupy the protest ground before the protesters came. That effectively ended the protest.

The government wasn't proactive as you said, and they did wrong sending those soldiers. Anti-riot policemen with rubber bullets, plenty of tear gas and hot water would have chased all those protesters away without breaking a sweat.

I have studied this case exhaustively and I can promise you to near 100% certainty that those that were shot were shot by police not the army.

bigfish3k:
The ballistic experts said they used it
The Serbians that manufactured it said those are live bullets
The protesters picked up some live bullet shells
At least two protesters were killed and many injured.
The military has had several lies summersault

Whats your own

Sir, I don't dispute that like bullets were fired. I dispute that the Army fired them, rather it is my belief that the police did. It might not make much of a difference to you but it does have a serious impact in the big picture.
