And this is how many lose their identity and no longer have regards for their ethnicities.
Nigerians will tell you what is obtainable in Jamaica and Japan, and conclude that what we do here is not necessary because those ones out there don't do them.
Go and nationalise there.

Nigeria already has power supply that need not be interrupted, but it's very expensive, that's why dedicated feeders in Nigeria supply areas or companies that pay what the government wants, while it is intentionally rationed in other places.

In Nigeria, we have CNN, BBC, France 24, and the majority of the rest news channels, one way or another, copy these channels, so we hear from one side of the conflict.
But when you watch Al Jazeera (Qatar), Press TV (Iran) and RT (Russia), you will see an entirely different point of view.
Only Nigerians who do this are qualified on speak on these conflicts, and sadly, most people here do not do that.

Nigerians think Houthis are terrorists, just like thinking Hamas is a terrorist organisation, equivalent to saying MASSOB and IPOB are terrorists. These bodies may be doing what can be regarded as terrorism, but why?
Simple: they are oppressed in their own land. Houthis want to identify with suffering Palestinians in the hands of Israel, America wants to keep supplying weapons to Israel to keep killing Palestinians who dare to ask Israel to shift their borders, and Iran wants to supply weapons to whoever will openly resist Israeli carnage on Palestinians.
Then you have Nigerians, whose own is to blast anyone who opposes America and Israel, because they don't know the history of the crises there.

Let us not take side against injustice and oppression, whether Muslim or Christian.

Israel refused to work with the UN, and America supports them. Is Nigeria chooses to not work with the IMF today, America will quickly sanction us. Don't love your enemy, and don't hate those who bravely openly hate those who hold you down in this country.

Houthis and Iran are not our enemies, they play no role in the destabilisation of Nigerian economy but some western countries are not allowing us to be, they hold us by the balls.

Lesrn and speak afterwards.

How it went down.
Nasrallah was 14 stories UNDERGROUND! In a
carefully orchestrated bombing pattern, in a 3 minute time interval, ten F16s, each with eight 1-ton smart bombs, whether all or fewer being bunker busters the question. The bunker busters' penetration depth is 30 feet per bomb. Israeli intelligence had the location and depths for all bolt holes in all directions from the bunker that crossed under streets to different safe areas under other buildings. The first bombs were targeting these. Nasrallah didn't get the benefit of not knowing what hit him. He definitely had at least a minute or more awaiting the outcome, time enough to hope for escape, and experience despair, regret, his personal terrors. Nasrallah could exit the bunker into a hall but the bolt hole tunnels were collapsed, no escape. Essentially, Nasrallah was like a WW2 submarine captain, his crew and him being depth charged, explosions getting closer and closer until a fatal one. Their terror had be real.

It was a very smart assassination indeed, and you would expect it from a country fully supported by US. Smart as it was, it is certainly dumb to praise the assassination of the leader of a group whose primary objective is the freedom of its people in distant places. Hezbollah had to stand with Hamas, because they both want Isrsel to no longer cage Palestine and refuse to allow them have a state of their own. No human wants to be ruled by another. It is evil that Isrsel should control the lives of millions of Palestinians and then turn around and offer them aids.
This was how they lied about Gaddafi and eliminated him... We were blind, and till now our leaders are still blind.
Don't join them.
Anyone opposing the interest of the West is a terrorist so when they assassinate such persons ignorant people praise them.
You're African, you should know how the West operate.

Historically, the Lebanese are not arabs but Phoenicians the dominant tribe of the eastern Mediterranean. It is by Islamic conquest they assimilated Arab culture. Their port cities of Tyre and Sidon are still existing till this day. The Syrophoecian woman mentioned in the Bible is from that place. Beirut the capital
of Lebanon used to be called the Paris of the middle east for its cosmopolitan and liberal outlook.[ quote author=cl0r0x post=132197804]Where are the hezbollah has 1 billion missiles, remember 2006 war, bro, Isreal says never again. All those missiles hezollah possess has been secondary explosions.

This level of intelligence can only happen where there is corruption. Imagine some hezbollah members are paid like $10 and the isrealis bring $1 million. What do you think would happen?


In Yemen the problem is the Shia, in Iraq is the Shia, in Lebanon is the Shia, even in Nigeria is the Shia. Look at that zakzaki.

It does look like the Lebanese government has decided to say no iran.

An Iranian military plane has just been denied entry into Lebanese airspace.

As we speak now the Iranian Supreme leader has been moved to a secure location.

Lebanese are the most open minded people amongst all Arabs. They are amazing and free. The problem is Shia Islam. Whenever you see that funny head tie there is problem.

Does Shia Islam obey the orders of the Quran? Do you have areas where they are not following the words in their holy book? Do you have list of problems they have caused?
Was Shia Yemen fighting anyone when the US asked Sunni Saudi Arabia to launch war against it? When Israel massacred Palestinians when they returned from Europe in 1948, we're the Palestinians killing the news that lived with them before that time?

I perceive you speak from anger over what you have heard, but have not taken time to know why since Israel came in 1948 there has been no peace there.

Pls lost the problems the Shia has caused, I will follow your comments let's learn.
Thanks.

Remember to state the one Zakzaki has caused too, at least he's with us here in our country, so we can verify. Thanks.

Why shooting rockets into Israel unprovoked for nine months? Why spending so much time and money to destroy one county? If u are in Israel shoes....u will just surrender to them? If u want peace u make and pursue it, not looking for the annihilation of another country. Palestinians got Gaza, and they turned it to terrorists territory instead of using billions of dollars in aid to develop. Don't expect peace if ur plan is to hurt another person.

Gaza is a city under Israeli prison rules, they just live, but are not allowed to be a sovereign people. Also, for the areas of the land taken by Israel using military might since 1948, the Palestinians still see themselves as under occupation. They will do everything possible to control their borders, including exploiting the oil and gas along their economic zone in the sea, but Isrsel control all of these and then the US sends aids to them.
It's so sad you wish the Palestinians to live on such aids and subjugation whereas they own what is being used by the Israelis.

Its a case of the weak being suppressed, and then someday throwing large stones into the oppressors' yard, and that becomes the rationale to cause open carnage on the weak.

If this is what you wish for them, I hope when it happened to you or your people someday you will bear.

Most Nigerians have been educated to condemn nationalists in Middle East as terrorists, BECAUSE America avd Israel call them that. Most Nigerians also do not know that the USA supplies Israel high tech military weapons of all kinds and intelligence as their NGOs infiltrate everywhere in the Middle East, helping with peanuts and collecting data.
Most Nigerians do not know that Israel has suppressed the Palestinians for decades, inside an open prison called Gaza, but because of mistaken understanding of the Bible we support Israel whatever it may do.
This is sad.
This was how these same countries labelled Gaddafi a terrorist and came here to destroy the most prodoerous avd sovereign country in Africa - Libya is never the same.
Let us weigh facts before letting the Bible blind us tiwarxs Israeli crimes against weak nations around it.

Even if they are Yahoo corpers, should they be so assaulted and the money stolen as G Boys stolen in return by armed forces in Nigerian uniform

People paid to protect us now threaten us even with guns. This can someday make bad boys become ugly against the police.

If found guilty, they should be quietly discharged of their duties but given sufficient funds to run other businesses because they are not dignified enough to wear that uniform & bear arms - they can steal with it.

G Boys don't directly threaten life, this was a direct threat and intimidation.

Amayabor1:
You are actually an ignorant fellow and I will prove it to you by responding to your allegations;

1. You said the US orchestrated a coup in Ukraine in 2014. Please, can you provide evidence? Some of you just open mouth waaaah. If you were in the US and you are arrested to come and provide evidence of US orchestrating the coup, can you? If the US and other western nations supported demonstrators yearning for change, it doesn't mean the US sponsored a coup. For example, Belarus president has been in power since 1994 (that's 30 years now). If tomorrow the Belarus people protest for regime change and he is removed, Russia will tell people like you that the US has sponsored a coup in Belarus and you will believe, forgetting the fact that these leaders are dictators who don't want to relinquish power. Putin knows that if he doesn't put it that way, his own seat will not be safe because almost every country around Russia is practicing democracy except Belarus and Russia. The more putin supports dictators in the region like him, the safer his presidency.

2. You said the Ukraine military, under the control of the US started hunting down eastern Ukrainians who wanted a separate country. Can you see your hypocrisy? Why is Nigeria hunting down Biafra agitators? Why can't Njgeria allow the South eastern part of Nigeria break away to form Biafra? So, you think Ukraine will sit down and fold it's hands while a region tries to break-away from the country? Is that not insurrection? Which country will accept that? Why didn't the donbas region try to break away when ukraine had a president who was pro-Russia? Now that ukraine has a president who is pro-EU, Putin started arming insurrectionists in the donbas region so they can declare their independence from Ukraine. The fighting in donbass was instigated by Russia.

3. You said Russia declared a special military operation to remove Nato from all of donbass. Please, keep quite my friend. How old are you? Nato never had any military presence in Ukraine. So, what are you talking about?

Hi
Yesterday I was an irredeemable fool, today am an ignorant fellow. What will I be tomorrow?

I will respond in kind.

1. Does the USA have a hand in the Maidan revolution in Ukraine?
https://www.reuters.com/article/world/leaked-audio-reveals-embarrassing-us-exchange-on-ukraine-eu-idUSBREA1601K/

https://www.cato.org/commentary/washington-helped-trigger-ukraine-war

These are western sources, because I assume providing sources from Asia and Russia will offend you.

2. Benjamin Netanyahu has been in power for 16 years in Israel. Joe Biden has been in major USA politics for over 50 years. Many Middle Eastern countries have leaders who rule for life and our own Gaddafi was transforming Libya into a paradise in the desert before the USA toppled him. What is your problem with Belarus living in peace with their leader, or with Putin having overwhelming support of the Russian population to lead the country?

Paul Kagame has ruled Rwanda for 24 years (and he just won another term last month) and Rwanda is OK. Why are you bitter that Russia and Belarus have stable political leaders?

Your county that changes leader every four years, how happy are you with this democracy you're enforcing on Belarus? Since when did it become your duty to enforce democracy?

China has been ruled by one party since 1950 (do your calculation), and Xi Jinping has now ruled for 13 hears (he just won another term on office few months back). Are you, as a democracy advocate, more intelligent and informed and prosperous and developed than China?

3. Why can't Nigeria allow Biafra?
As an Igbo man, you should feel the plight of the people of Donbass but it's shocking an igbo man who's looking for freedom from perceived oppression is against Russia going to forcefully liberate it's people in Eastern Ukraine. Because you mention Biafra, I won't comment on this any longer.

4. When you said NATO didn't have presence in Ukraine, the two links I sent answers that. Also, the three links you sent carry similar information.
First, the CNN one talks about a report from certain experts on what Putin might be thinking of doing after telling Finland that "now there will be problems". The one of Rueters and the other from UK Independent took points from Institute for the Study of War to interprete what Putin meant by saying NATO has pulled Finland into itself, and for that, Russia will create military presence at the border.

At least these links you posted were more honest than you, because they did not mention even once that Russia will go and fight or destroy or cause trouble to Finland. In fact, the Independent one actually said Russia does not have problem with Finland, quoting Putin. But you Biafra man cited those links to make a point that is like telling lies to sustain an argument. I won't argue with you again.

Lastly, any man who denies the blessings the Libyan people had under Gaddafi will not be a good man, but the one who denies that NATO is the one creating problem all around Russia may not even see heaven's gate.

You are morally obliged to read the links I sent to you, as I did yours - with proof, as I cited them in my comments. If you don't, your reply will tell me, and I'll not discuss with you again.

I want to argue to learn and change my mindset, not defend what cannot be sustained.

If you want us to have a Biafra, there are ways to go about it, not this one that IPOB is doing and making our lands unsafe.

I leave you in the peace of Christ.

Neoteny7:
And yet they're openly assisting Ukraine will lethal aid which has wrecked Russia's army. And Putin can't do nothing to stop them.

Ordinary Bakhmut they can't take.

The best soldiers in war are those who persevere and never lose focus against distractions. Russia finally took Bakhmut...

Are you there? 🙂

WorkTheTalk:
Strategic positioning.
Putin promised to invade Finland for alliance with NATO. Unfortunately, his war with Ukraine that was to last for two weeks is almost half a decade now. Wondering when he will start Finland inversion.

I guess you were told by NATO countries. As a sincere person, do you have any video or authoritative paper reference where Putin or Russia threatened to invade Finland or Sweden because of NATO membership?

Let's discuss, pls share with us here, we're one.

Russia refused to become another Africa in the hands of the West, so proxy war is NATO's option, because a direct confrontation will be regrettable.
Unfortunately, many Nigerians don't know why NATO hates Russia.

Amayabor1:
So, Russia was right to have invaded another sovereign country under the guise that Ukraine was threatening it's security?

Some of you are irredeemable fools sha. Russia invades Ukraine, but it is the US and other countries that have come to Ukraine's aid that you people have problems with.

I thought clowns like you said Russia will end this war with small Ukraine in 2 weeks? It's more than 2 years now. The over-hyped Russians are still struggling. Tomorrow, they will come out to talk about using nuclear weapons.

If there is one thing this war has showed us, it is the fact that the prestige that the Russian military enjoys is because of their nuclear weapons. They are a weak military comparable to the militaries of third world countries. In conventional warfare, the Russian military can't stand the US alone, talkless of Nato.

You call a fellow hustling naija an irredeemable fool (you misused that horrible word).

Maybe you're not aware.

In 2014, the USA orchestrated a coup in Ukraine and toppled the president who was in good terms with Russia. Since then the Ukrainian miliary, now under the control of the US, started hunting down all Eastern Ukrainians who wanted to have a Donbass free from Kiev administration. Russia raised the issue at the UNSC, the US vetoed it down as Ukraine internal issue. As more Russians in Donbass were being killed, in 2021 Russia submitted a note to the US on halting the massacres by the Ukrainian army, the US never replied Moscow. February the next year Russia recognised Donbass as a sovereign territory and declared a special military operation to remove all NATO military from all of Donbass - that's what Russia is doing.

Till date, Russia refuses to declare war on Ukraine (which would be over in weeks as Israel did to Gaza).

So, Mr Insulter, are you more righteous than the person you call an irredeemable fool? I don't want to report you to Nairaland.

Be guided, be enlightened, and do not support what USA is supporting without checking the interest they have there.

Russia has been too kind to Ukraine, and if NATO continues its proxy war against Russia, Europe may fight another war - and we know what that means.

Russia refused to become another Africa in the hands of the West, so proxy war is NATO's option, because a direct confrontation will be regrettable.
Unfortunately, many Nigerians don't know why NATO hates Russia.
